Let's start with the obvious: Sean Connery was the best James Bond. If you disagree and still think of yourself as a 007 aficionado, heed the words of the spy himself (to Francisco Scaramanga in "The Man With The Golden Gun"):
"I doubt you're qualified on that score."
■ ■ ■
With last month's 50th anniversary of the British icon on screen and Friday's release of "Skyfall," the 23rd Eon Productions film in the series, discussions online and in person — either over a beer or the more proper vodka martini — once again are alive with all things Bond.
And other than the lead actor, there are no real "bests." (Although even Connery isn't universally No. 1: A poll last month in London's Guardian newspaper gave him only a plurality, 46 percent of the first-place votes, followed by "Skyfall" star Daniel Craig with 22 percent and Roger Moore with 12.) Each film follows a familiar formula — the girl, the villain, the henchmen, the gadgets, the modes of transportation – and in each category there are some great, some merely passable and some particularly awful.
The following list is culled from 48 years of actually watching Bond movies in the theater and many countless hours on TV, video and DVD. So, as 007 said to his caddy, Hawker: "Let's have a little fun …"
"From Russia With Love" (1963). The most faithful to the Ian Fleming Bond ideal. The future of the world isn't at stake; the film is just a wonderful spy tale.
Runner-up: "Goldfinger" (1964). The blockbuster that gave Bond mass appeal. It had so many memorables, and many Bondophiles consider it No 1.
Dark horse: "The Living Daylights" (1987). The most Fleming-like of the "new" films, combining in-the-news intrigue (Afghanistan under Russian occupation) with nothing too over the top. And one of the best opening scenes, period.
Worst: Of the serious films, "Moonraker" (1979) by light years. Moore looked tired, Lois Chiles was awful, the dialogue was insipid and the plot was out-of-this world ridiculous, literally.
Connery. The standard, if you overlook his awful Kevin McClory-produced remake, "Never Say Never Again."
Runner-up: Moore. Some of his films are silly, but he also made some of the series' smartest ("Live and Let Die," "The Spy Who Loved Me," "For Your Eyes Only").
Dark horse: Timothy Dalton. The best actor of all the Bonds, he brought a combination of class and anger that was Connery-esque.
Worst: Pierce Brosnan. After "GoldenEye," he starred in a series of increasingly awful films. And some people couldn't help thinking "Remington Steele" during every scene.
Auric Goldfinger: Even though Gert Frobe's dialogue was all dubbed post-filming because his German accent was too thick to be understood.
Runner-up: Kananga/Mr. Big in "Live And Let Die." Yaphet Kotto is outstanding in this dual-but-not-so-dual role as the island dictator/Harlem drug lord.
Dark horse: Le Chiffre in the 2006 "Casino Royale." Mads Mikkelsen is coolly evil — and wields an angry rope.
Worst: Hugo Drax in "Moonraker." Otherwise fine actor Michael Londsdale should have called in sick.
Odd Job in "Goldfinger." Former wrestler and Olympic silver medalist Harold Sakata doesn't need to say a word to be totally eerie.
Runner-up: Donald Grant in "From Russia With Love." Robert Shaw's second-best role, behind the one in that shark movie called …
Dark horse: Jaws in "The Spy Who Loved Me" and (unfortunately for him) "Moonraker." Not really a dark horse, but you have to get Richard Kiel in here somewhere.
Worst: Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd in "Diamonds Are Forever." OK, so one wears perfume and they are probably gay, which was somewhat groundbreaking for 1971. But the bottom line is that neither Putter Smith nor Bruce Glover show any ability to act.
Little Nellie in "You Only Live Twice." A brought-in-a-suitcase "toy helicopter" that shoots down four Bells over Japanese volcanos. The yellow AutoGyro was an actual working machine, too.
Runner-up: The briefcase in "From Russia With Love." A literal live-saver with a flat throwing knife, folding sniper rifle, gold sovereigns and exploding tear gas in a talcum powder tin. A kids' version was sold by Erector Set maker Gilbert Toys, a must-have for any little Bond in the mid-'60s.
Dark horse: The Rolex Submariner watch from "Live And Let Die." Powerful enough to deflect the path of a bullet (supposedly) or cut through rope, it also proves useful for undoing zippers.
Worst: Radioactive pocket lint from "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." It would only prove useful if 007 lost any of his Saville Row suits at the dry cleaners.
Aston Martin DB5 ("with modifications") from "Goldfinger." Like Connery, what you think of when you think of Bond. So iconic that it made cameo reappearances in "Goldeneye," 2006's "Casino Royale" and "Skyfall."
Runner-up: Lotus Esprit from "The Spy Who Loved Me." It's a car! It's a sub! It blows helicopters out of the sky!
Dark horse: Aston Martin Vantage from "The Living Daylights." It had outboard skis and a rocket motor. And a killer stereo system.
Worst: Aston Martin Vanquish from "Die Another Day." An invisible car? This idiotic bit of fluff almost wrecked the series.
"Goldfinger," Shirley Bassey. The two-note introduction, and the three-note echo, are equally iconic. And no one belts like Bassey, a three-time Bond vocalist.
Runner-up: "Live And Let Die," Paul McCartney and Wings. Should be a favorite here because Sir Paul played it at our Super Bowl in '05.
Dark horse: "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," instrumental. John Barry's pounding anthem leads off the best soundtrack of the series.
Worst: "Die Another Day," Madonna. Don't even try arguing. Fingers on a blackboard are a symphony compared to this musical mess.
(That you can say in a family newspaper)
"Do you expect me to talk?" "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!" Bond and Goldfinger as the industrial laser nears a nervous 007's crotch.
Runner-up: "Do you mind if my friend sits this one out? She's just dead." Bond after villainess and dance partner Fiona Volpe takes a bullet in the back at the Kiss Kiss Club in "Thunderball."
Dark horse: "This never happened to the other fellow." Bond, to the audience, at the end of the opening sequence in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." George Lazenby had replaced Connery in the role.
Worst: "See that some harm comes to him." Hugo Drax in "Moonraker," to his equally forgettable henchman, Chang. Sure, Hugo, no one will suspect you if you try to kill Bond.
(Warning: highly subjective)
Diana Rigg as Teresa diVicenzo in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." The only woman Bond ACTUALLY marries. (Kissy Suzuki in "You Only Live Twice" doesn't count; he gives a false name to the priest.) Our hero thought her the best, so we'll defer to his judgment.
Runner-up (tie): Ursula Andress as Honey Rider in "Dr. No" and Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore in "Goldfinger." There is so little to separate these two. Both were perfect for the early '60s and still wear well today.
Dark horse: Luciana Paluzzi as Fiona Volpe in "Thunderball." She bites, rides a deadly motorcycle and dances until she drops.
Worst: Lois Chiles as Holly Goodhead in "Moonraker." Is it possible to have a sexless Bond girl? With apologies to Ms. Chiles, most fans say yes, it is.
Pussy Galore in "Goldfinger." If it sounds risque now, think of how it sounded in 1964.
Runner-up: Plenty O'Toole in "Diamonds Are Forever." It's a cheap visual, sure. It's also Natalie Wood's little sister Lana, truly.
Dark horse: Octopussy. It gets props as the half-name of the last Fleming book. Also, Maud Adams was one of only two two-film Bond girls. (Eunice Gayson was the other.)
Worst: Xenia Onatopp. Really? Onatopp? Is that the best they could come up with?
May Day in "A View to a Kill." A buffed-up Grace Jones is the best thing in this otherwise forgettable film.
Runners-up: Bambi and Thumper, "Diamonds Are Forever." Their only weakness? They couldn't swim.
Dark horse: Natalia Simonova in "GoldenEye." She was the lone survivor of both an EMP blast and a murderous Gen. Orumov. And she just looked like she could slap you silly.
Worst: Stacey Sutton in "A View to a Kill." She was even bad at helplessly screaming "James!"
Carole Bouquet as Melina Havelock, "For Your Eyes Only." She was a successful Chanel model, too.
Runner-up: Jill St. John as Tiffany Case in "Diamonds Are Forever." She is a blond, a brunette AND a redhead. In one scene.
Dark horse: Talisa Soto as Lupe Lamora in "License To Kill." She does short hair in this one better than Carey Lowell.
Worst: Britt Ekland as Mary Goodnight in "The Man With The Golden Gun." Did she shampoo at all during filming?
And finally, because there have been a few …
"True Lies." Saying the 1994 feature was Arnold Schwarzennegger's best movie isn't a high compliment, but it actually worked the Bond formula to a T, with the combination of action, humor and bad guys and girls. Better than most if not all of the 1990s Bonds.
Runner-up: The "Bourne" series (except the most recent one). Take away the wordplay, the glamour girls and the tuxedos, and the first three films — particularly the Paul Greengrass-directed "Supremacy" and "Ultimatum" — are great action-hero spy thrillers with Matt Damon in the title role.
Dark horse: "Three Days of the Condor." Almost an anti-Bond Bond, the 1975 Robert Redford film has it all: betrayal, the girl (Faye Dunaway) and the villain (a chilling Max von Sydow).
Worst: Any "Matt Helm" movie. Dean Martin was one of the two American answers to Bond (James Coburn as an almost-equally forgettable Derek Flint was the other), with four bad spoofs in the mid- to late '60s. If one comes on late-night TV, immediately switch to an infomercial. Any informercial.

The Forces Shaping World Cotton Consumption After the Multifiber Arrangement
Stay Connected
Outlook No. (CWS-05C-01) 30 pp, April 2005
The phaseout of the Multifiber Arrangement (MFA) and other forces are reshaping world textile and cotton markets. The elimination of the MFA is helping reduce clothing prices in the United States and the EU and effecting a shift in industrial demand for cotton to China, India, and Pakistan. At the same time, world cotton consumption has accelerated along with economic growth since 1999, especially in developing Asia, where an emerging consumer society is driving increases in household consumption of clothing and other cotton products. In the long run, income growth and technical change have more of an effect on world cotton consumption than the elimination of the MFA.
Keywords: Textiles, cotton, clothing, apparel, Multifiber Arrangement, quotas, trade policy, China, India, fiber, income

Iman and Missoni Inducted to the Rodeo Walk of Style.
|Pictured: Rachel Zoe & Iman (photo:Alex J. Berliner/ABImages)
In a small ceremony held outdoors on Rodeo Drive, Iman received the Walk of Style award from Rachel Zoe. In a move that surprised many attendees, she wore a long mocha Rachel Zoe dress with a bow tie blouse and sequined jacket, rather than Missoni. With her typical dedication to raising funds to help children in Africa, Iman used her acceptance speech to mention the devastation and hardships people are still suffering in East Africa. She stated that people in her homeland are faced daily with a "Sophie's Choice" that no one should have to make. The former model encouraged the audience to donate to "Save the Children" to help raise funds and awareness for the famine and drought that is ravaging East Africa, and in particular, her homeland of Somalia. I had the opportunity to meet and chat briefly with Iman in the Missoni store before the ceremony. She was warm, genuine and completely accessible. She told me that she plans to continue to work with HSN on her fashion and accessories line. As Rachel Zoe said before presenting the award to Iman, "She's kinda everything" a business mogul, a fashion icon and a philanthropist.

Following the presentation of the award to Iman, Quincy Jones took the stage to present the award to the Missoni family. A self-described "Missoni junkie," Mr. Jones lauded the family for their designs characterized by a "kaleidoscope of bold hues, zigzags, stripes, waves, flames, geometric patchworks and floral jacquards." The family turned out in force to accept the award, with founder Rosita in attendance along with children Vittorio, Luca and Angela. Also in attendance was the lovely Margherita Missoni, who Angela acknowledged, "maybe be the most well known member of the family" since the Missoni for Target campaign and Vogue spread featuring her. Angela Missoni thanked the entertainment community for embracing the style of Missoni over the years. She noted that through their designs, the brand had presented "the idea that fashion can be informal. She noted that many clients like Lauren Bacall, Audrey Hepburn and Faye Dunaway had found that Missoni fashions suited them both for the red carpet and in their personal life.

Tomorrow, Rodeo Drive will open to the public without the celebrities, the red carpet and the champagne. But a little bit of the magic from the Rodeo Walk of Style ceremony will remain embedded in the sidewalk where tourists and residents come to shop. And just as Iman foretold, shoppers will be stepping over her in their quest to be fabulous.

A couple of months ago, Paramount Pictures sent me a whip. It's a very cool whip, made out of something that looks like leather, just like Indiana Jones'. I'd give it a try if I didn't remember those famous words from boyhood, "Hey,watch out, Ricky, you could take someone's eye out with that thing."
In my case, it would probably be my own eye. Indiana Klutz and the Whip of Doom.
A few weeks after that, Paramount sent me these gorgeous posters for "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." They're actual movie-theater-size posters, Saturday matinee style, in those burnished brown and sepia tones that have made Indy one of the icons of our age.
Those same shades of adventure brown, with Harrison Ford's face airbrushed into immortality, also grace the shelf displays of brand new flavors of Snickers and M&Ms available at a Minute Stop near you. They, and full-page magazine ads for any number of products, arrived in plenty of time for today's premiere of the latest adventures of the guy in the hat, some 20 years after his latest demonstration that archaeology is more a matter of testosterone than long hours in the library.
Look for the review in today's Maui News. By this time next week, I'll be able to give you my report on the movie. But it seems so beside the point.
Because as much as it may be about state-of-the-art adventure on the movie screen, this reteaming of star Ford with director Steven Spielberg and co-writer and executive producer George Lucas is about packaging. From the casting, which includes Cate Blanchett along with long-lost Karen Allen to the marketing Juggernaut around this week's release, it's all about product.
When they started turning their boyhood fantasies — inspired by "Guns of Navarone," and "The Great Escape"-style World War II movie images — into their own movies, Spielberg and Lucas couldn't dream of how much and how fast things would change. Nor could they foresee the crucial roles they would play in making it happen.
The technology they glorified was mechanical —planes with propellers, clunky armored cars, vintage motorcycles — but the technology they employed would become increasingly digital. They were cutting-edge alchemists, freeing the genie from its silicon lantern.
Similarly, the kind of heroism and adventure they glorified came from a time when denial wasn't considered a psychological flaw — but rather the heart and soul of what would become known as "The Greatest Generation."
They were key players in shaping a new generation. With digital imaging, all things become possible. Unfortunately, it also has the side effect of reducing everything we know into a never-ending parade of products.
This week's product is called Indiana Jones. It comes in all shapes, sizes and flavors. But if you see me in line at the box office, you'd better watch out. I'm bringing my whip.
World War II also gave rise to the more literary imaginings of author C.S. Lewis. The new film adaptation of his "Chronicles of Narnia," "Prince Caspian" opened last weekend and enjoyed a brief stint at the top of the box office charts before Indy got to town.
Written in the years just after World War II, Oxford literary scholar Lewis' "Chronicles" transports the four school-uniformed siblings of the Pevensie family (played by Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes, William Moseley and Anna Popplewell), from the frights of wartime London into a mythological era 1,300 years after "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," to once again become the saviors of Western civilization, with a little help from an almighty lion.
Criticized by some critics for being darker than the cute, cloven-hoofed Christian allegory of the first "Chronicles," and bemoaned by some studio executives for only making $55 million in its opening weekend, it struck me as charming and affecting, thanks to the earnest performances of its young stars.
But it too provided another example of the difference between digital imagination and the old-fashioned kind you had to do by yourself, using written words in a book to launch the journey.
The week's most durable movie fantasy, though, came in the form of the long-running, huge hit, "Iron Man." No less than two friends about my age sought me out to tell me how much they enjoyed it. Clearly, a superhero going through a midlife crisis strikes closer to home than most comic-book action figures. And then there's Gwyneth Paltrow to fill in more fantasies for guys of a certain age. Any age, actually.

The Virginia Tech basketball Class of 2013 is now complete. With Robert Brown's transfer, another spot opened up and guard Devin Wilson from Montour HS in McKees Rock, PA (basically Pittsburgh) has committed to the Hokies and could sign as early as Wednesday, April 17th when the spring signing period begins.
Wilson is listed at 6'4″ so has good size, necessary in the ACC. Both Clark and Emelogu are also 6'4″, and Muller from Germany is a metric 6'3″, so it is a tall guard class.
Wilson had offers in both football (nc state, temple, akron, and ohio) and basketball (wvu, george mason, st. joe's, some CAA and MAAC schools, etc.) but decided to go with hoops and the Hokies. He was a 2-star wide receiver in football, and a 3-star guard in basketball according to Rivals.com. ESPN Recruiting Nation didn't give him a grade (i.e. not a 3-star) but at least had an article about it. If you subscribe to ESPN you can read it.

Cenk Uygur (host of The Young Turks) and Ben Mankiewicz (co-host of The Young Turks) break down a sexually suggestive photo controversy involving Republican Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack. www.examiner.com California 45th congressional district Republican lawmaker, Mary Bono-Mack has been suppossedly photographed letting another woman lick her breast, who is now being investigated by the FBI. The woman allegedly licking Bono's breast is Edra Blixseth, a former billionaire who is being investigated for fraudulently representing her financial worth to a number of banks. Bono-Mack, who sits on the Committee on Energy and Commerce, is the widow of singer Sonny Bono and has been in Congress since taking over her husbands seat after his death in 1998. The Radar photo, guaranteed to have Capital Hill tongues wagging, was taken at an event four-years-ago, at Blixseth's $75 million Porcupine Creek estate in Rancho Mirage, California. Blixseth, who now dates Dallas actor Jack Scalia after splitting from her husband Tim, a wealthy timber tycoon, in 2008, is seen gleefully lapping Bono's cleavage with her tongue. The hard partier, once a top Republican Party donor, donated $1500 to Bono's 2006 congressional campaign and even served as a finance committee member. Blixseth and her ex-husband, were apparently living a financial lie and were sued by investors of the couple's Yellowstone Club World, a millionaires only private ski and golf resort in Montana, whose members included Microsoft ...

Challenge Update
I did some damage calculations and, by god was I both shocked and happy. Shocked that my Rhyhorn's Rock Slide won't OHKO an EV-less, lower level Gengar... And happy I didn't go ahead and fight Morty prior to my last save, since Shadow Ball cleanly 2HKOs. Combined with the fact I'm likely to take a Curse prior to Gengar gettin' sent out, means that my challenge would of ended early.
So instead of losing miserably to that damned ghost, I went off towards Olivine and through the Olivine Lighthouse and fought every trainer possible to level grind. I shortly returned to Ecruteak to take on Morty afterwards.
His Pokes prior to Gengar did little to stop me; Rock Slide OHKO'd, and I didn't miss once. His Ghastly got a lucky paralyze on the Lick, and his first Haunter did a pointless Mean Look. Strangely, he decided to send out Gengar before his second Haunter. Even more strangely, he did Sucker Punch instead of Shadow Ball, doing laughable damage and ensuring only the most ridiculous amount of hax could stop me now, as Rock Slide is an OHKO after the level grinding.
His last Haunter easily falls as it uses curse in all due futility. Rhyhorn comes out on top once more. Fog Badge get!
Traveled back to Olivine, crossed the sea (and level grinded against all the trainers, of course! Rhyhorn still ain't that over-leveled), and survived a crit from a Krabby's Bubblebeam. Had a heart attack when I saw Rhyhorn's 100% health plummeting by 70%... >_>;
Saved in front of Chuck's gym. Rhyhorn's rock-hard body is ready. Don't think I ever did a full summary for Rhyhorn, so here it is for once.
Rhyhorn @ Everstone: lv. 37
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Rock Head
Rock Slide
Take Down (**** you Rock Blast, thought ya had 90% accuracy, not 80%...)

Bridge Between the Testaments: Reappraisal of Judaism from the Exile to the Birth of Christianityby Donald E. Gowan
An introduction to a difficult and crucially important period in the history of the Jewish people, the time between the fall of Jerusalem in 587 B.C.E. and the second, futile revolt against Rome which ended in 135 C.E.

Family Crucible: The Influence Of Family Dynamics In The Life And Ministry Of John Wesleyby Anthony J. Headley
This book explores the life and ministry of John Wesley from the perspective of Murray Bowen's Extended Family Systems Theory and to a lesser extent from Alfred Adler's concept of family constellation. Throughout the book, the author uses concepts drawn from these theories to explore significant historical and pivotal events in the life of John Wesley. Beginning with family events prior to his birth, the author also explores his early family constellation, influential themes, factors shaping his ministry, and various relational issues, including his relationships with Sophy Hopkey, Grace Murray, and his marriage to Mary Vazeille. It concludes by drawing lessons from Wesley's life pertinent to today's ministers.
From Generation to Generation: The Adaptive Challenge of Mainline Protestant Education in Forming Faithby Charles R. Foster
Mainline Protestant congregations face a profound adaptive challenge. In the midst of significant social, cultural, and technological change, the denominations they represent generally abandoned a view of education capable of maintaining and renewing their faith traditions through their children and youth. New curriculum resources and innovative pedagogical strategies appropriated from the marketplace of religious education options have not met the challenge. A transformation of consciousness is required in congregations seeking a future through their children. It involves the exercise of an ecclesial imagination to reclaim a view of education rooted in the revitalization of their religious traditions in the past and re-envisioning the congregation as a catechetical culture of faith formation.
The Incarnation and the Church's Witnessby Darrell. L. Guder
For several years, argues Guder, contemporary Christian churches have often thought of their mission efforts as simply one more program of the church. In addition, outsiders have rightly criticized Christian mission efforts as exercises in cultural imperialism.<P> In this provocative book, Guder argues that the incarnation of God in Jesus provides the foundational model for the practice of Christian missions in the world today. The incarnation is the culmination of God's activity and presence in the world, says Guder, for in this event God initiates the healing of a broken world.<P> Using literary, historical, and social approaches to scripture, Guder claims the contemporary church should return to an "incarnational mission" in which the practice of Christian witness is "shaped by the life, ministry, suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus."
Introducing Feminist Ecclesiologyby Natalie Watson
Introducing Feminist Ecclesiology explores women's experiences of being church and reclaiming the church in order to rebuild it as a meaningful, open sacramental space where everybody's presence is celebrated. Natalie Watson proposes a creative and constructive dialog with existing theological approaches to the church, from different Christian traditions as well as more recent feminist theologians, and suggests the development of criteria that hear women's experiences of being church and reclaiming church into speech. The church is the embodied reality of all women children and men whose stories tell the story of the Triune God.
The Isaiah Vision: An Ecumenical Strategy for Congregational Evangelismby Raymond Fung
The Isaiah Vision presents an ecumenical strategy for congregation-based evangelism. Behind it lies the conviction that the task of witnessing for Jesus Christ to individual people and to neighborhood communities is, In the final analysis, The responsibility of the local congregation. it draws upon the experiences of congregations in many places and a variety of situations, and is in that sense truly ecumenical. Going beyond ideas and concepts, it addresses concrete methods for their implementation, and what it commends is thus a clear, ecumenical evangelistic strategy. That strategy is based on Isaiah's vision of the restored community in which both the young And The old find fulfillment and fill out their days, and people do not labor in vain but enjoy the work of their hands.
A Journal of the Life, Gospel Labours, and Christian Experiences of that Faithful Minister of Jesus Christ, John Woolmanby John Woolman
Woolman's Journal was first published in 1774 (shortly after his death). His life, as recorded by himself, was the finest flower of a unique Quaker culture, whose focus, as Howard H. Brinton has put is, was not on the literary or plastic arts but on life itself in home, meeting and community, a life which was an artistic creation as beautiful in its simplicity and proportion as was the architecture of its meeting houses. . . Its distinguishing marks were not dogmas but practical testimonies for equality, simplicity and peace. These testimonies, once revolutionary in their social implications, were already becoming institutionalized in Woolman's time as the badges of a peculiar people. In his quiet way (he must have been the quietest radical in history) John Woolman reforged the testimonies, tempered them in the stream of love and converted them once again into instruments of social revolution.
A Land Without Sinby Paula Huston
As revolutionary forces gather in the Lacandon jungle of southern Mexico in the fall of 1993, an idealistic American priest vanishes from his post in San Cristobal de Las Casas. The Church, immersed in trying to negotiate a peaceful solution to the escalating conflict between wealthy landowners and poverty-stricken indigenas, remains strangely silent in the face of his disappearance. When his sister, Eva, only thirty-four but already a hardened battlefield photojournalist, finds out what's going on, she flies to Central America to find him, taking a job assisting a taciturn Dutch Mayanist in order to provide herself with a cover. But as it turns out, he, too, is on a secret quest. From the great pyramids of Tikal and the graceful palaces of Palenque to the shadowy guerrilla camps of the vast Lacandon, A Land Without Sin is a modern-day journey into the heart of darkness.
Let the Earth Rejoice! A Biblical Theology of Holistic Missionby William A. Dyrness
This book sets out to inquire whether there is a biblical warrant for seeing a political and social dimension to our missions and evangelism.
The Priesthood Of The Plebs: A Theology Of Baptismby Peter Leithart
In this seminal treatise, Peter J. Leithart argues that the coming of the New Creation in Jesus Christ has profound and revolutionary implications for social order, implications symbolized and effected in the ritual of baptism. In Christ and Christian baptism, the ancient distinctions between priest and non-priest, between patrician and plebian, are dissolved, giving rise to a new humanity in which there is no Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female. Yet, beginning in the medieval period, the church has blunted the revolutionary force of baptism, and reintroduced antique distinctions whose destruction was announced by the gospel. Leithart calls the church to renew her commitment to the gospel that offers priesthood to the plebs.
The Pursuit of Happiness: Blessing and Fulfillment in Christian Faithby Sarah Heaner Lancaster
People want to be happy. Nothing could be more obvious, and yet this common and evident goal is not as easy to achieve as it is to desire. The Christian tradition has understood happiness to be gained through relationship with God, and it has much to say about what will make us truly happy and what will not. This book examines happiness from a Christian perspective, using John Wesley as the focus of study because he understood happiness with God to be the very goal of Christian life. He also understood that Christian happiness needed to acknowledge the difficulties of life. This book seeks to learn from the wisdom of the past in order to imagine how Christians today might talk about happiness in a way that is faithful to the tradition and engages the world as well.
The Quest for Holiness: A Biblical, Historical and Systematic Investigationby Adolf Koberle John C. Mattes
Adolf Koberle's 'The Quest for Holiness' is a significant contribution to world religious literature and a work of abiding value. As such it well deserves translation into the English language and widespread distribution among English language readers. Although written by a profound scholar, this book is not merely for theologians but for all who desire a sound, scriptural setting forth of the truths and the implications for each individual embodied in the steps of justification and sanctification. For simplicity, clarity, and completeness on this subject, this book is unsurpassed. It is written not merely with ink but with the lifeblood of the true believer striving daily for greater holiness and God-pleasing perfection.

In all his writings, Allen's overriding concern was to show that missionary method, far from being a secondary or indifferent matter, is a matter of supreme importance.
The Structure of Biblical Authority (2nd edition)by Meredith G. Kline
The initial concern with the canonical aspect of Scripture led inevitably to reexamination of the formal character of Scripture as such. "What is the Bible?" became a central question, and it receives here a somewhat distinctive answer, in line with the new direction taken in the formulation of biblical canonicity. Because of the limitations of the author's field of specialization the focus of these studies is on the Old Testament, but some suggestions are ventured for the extension of the main theses into the New Testament.
The Triune God: An Ecumenical Studyby Eric L. Mascall Dikran Y. Hadidian
'In speaking almost casually of "the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the communion of the Holy Ghost" he [that is, St Paul] simply sums up the working faith of the Christian community.

Northshore beat Slidell 28-21 in overtime Friday night in a game that featured a 96-yard touchdown run, a 50-yard field goal attempt and a game-sealing interception all within 10 minutes.
In the season finale for both teams, seniors Dylan Kelly and Marshall Wadleigh keyed the Panthers' District 6-5A victory scoring all four Northshore touchdowns.
Although Northshore (4-5, 1-4) isn't playoff bound, the Panthers were elated after the game.
"To go out against a crosstown rival like that, such a close game, such a tough team," said Wadleigh. "They fought the whole time, they didn't let up for one second."
"It means a lot," Kelly said. "Especially for my senior year to end like this, there's no better feeling. It's the right way to go."
The final two minutes of game produced several dramatic moments.
Leading 21-14 with 1:46 remaining and Slidell (2-7, 1-5) pinned at its 4-yard line, things were looking good for the Panthers. But on the first play of Slidell's drive, sophomore running back Kain Mitchell, who had been held to just 40 rushing yards before the play, bursted through the middle for a startling 96-yard touchdown run that drew the Tigers to within a point.
An excessive celebration penalty turned the extra point into a daunting 35-yard try for Tabor Gamblin. The junior kicker was able to sneak the kick through, knotting the game at 21 with 1:31 remaining.
On the ensuing hurry-up Northshore drive, Kelly drew a pass interference penalty and junior quarterback Dalvin Populist hit junior Bryce Perez for a 20-yard play to drive the Panthers to Slidell's 35-yard line with 45 seconds remaining. Two Perez rushes yielded only 4 yards, and Northshore's final hope to win the game in regulation was a 50-yard Ralph Price field-goal attempt. The senior kicker had plenty of distance, but pulled the attempt wide to the left.
After winning the coin toss in overtime, the Panthers struck immediately. On the first Northshore play, Wadleigh dragged tacklers into the end zone from Slidell's 10-yard line for a 28-21 lead.
"To have the offensive line just blow them off the ball, it was just perfect," Wadleigh said.
On the Tigers' ensuing chance, a sack and consecutive incompletions set up a decisive fourth-down play.
Wadleigh came in to play safety, and intercepted Slidell quarterback Ryan Rucker in the end zone to seal the victory.
"Coach put me in because we figured they would pass," Wadleigh said. "I saw (the quarterback's) eyes. The defense put real good pressure on him, forced him to throw a little early, and I just stopped thinking from that point on."
Wadleigh finished with 91 yards rushing and two touchdowns.
Kelly was responsible for Northshore's other two touchdowns, catching two perfect first-half passes from Populist on nearly identical fade routes to the corner of the end zone.
"The first one I thought was a lot more difficult," Kelly said. "I landed on my shoulder and after that it was hurting all night. The second one was the same exact route and everything and they were playing a Cover 2 and he threw it out there and I just went and got it."
Both teams have struggled to score recently, but Slidell jumped quickly ahead in the first quarter on Mitchell's 11-yard touchdown run. It was the first of three touchdown rushes in his 136-yard game.
Northshore battled back with the two touchdowns to Kelly and led 14-7 at the half.
On its first possession in the second half, Slidell seemed sure to put points on the board, marching to Northshore's 22. But when Slidell quarterback Ryan Rucker pitched wildly to Mitchell in the backfield, Northshore's Keaton Rodriguez scooped up the loose ball and returned it to the Tigers' 30, setting up Wadleigh's touchdown run.
"Legs were fine, I was ready to roll," Wadleigh said. "I couldn't have imagined it any more perfect."

Apple exploring the prospect of an iPad mini to rival Amazon's Kindle Fire in the future?

Apple could be exploring the possibility of launching a "mini" edition of its iPad tablet in response to the Amazon Kindle Fire…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

They have no right anymore! They sued samsung with the original galaxy tab and after how many 7 INCH TABS, they think of imitating now?!! All companies must SUE APPLE NOW.
10. dacastrator (Posts: 232; Member since: 22 Sep 2011)
yeah, Apple is a douchbag.
21. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
I'm willing to bet this is nothing but BS from "analysts". Link bait about an iPhone mini was "predicted" when Android started eating away at the iPhone market share. Then, an iPad mini was predicted when the Galaxy Tab first hit. More likely, Apple will stick to its business plan, and if we see an iPad mini, it won't be until 2013 at the earliest.

I'm waitting for the windows tablet to start rolling out. iOS Android and who ever else wont compare to its awesomeness
34. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
totally agree michael.
besides, if the fire catches.. um... fire.. and starts burning away at apple's sales, apple wont respond with a competing product. Apple's track record says they will sue for something instead.

Apple can sell a reburised iPad Wifi with 16 GB for $299. The mini will be a lower cost version of the iPad 3 to bring iPad to the masses. Given the economy of scope and economy of scale and learning curve to date -- it will probably cost Apple less than $200 for the parts and labor and could sell the 9.7" for $299 only at Apple stores and Apple.com to enhance their margins. Apple already has the brick and mortar stores and online distribution or ecosystem in place.
Why buy a Fire at 7" for $199 when you can the 9.7" iPad Mini with iOS 5 for $299. For the extra $100, you get about twice the viewing area and the "Apple" experience.

Funny how the Kindle Fire is now altering the Apple iPad. I knew the Apple iPad's days were numbered & that an Android tablet would challenge it. Well guess what that tablet is the Kindle Fire, plus real soon quad-core tablets are going to start shipping. There goes the iPad's lead, down the drain. 2012 will be HUGE for Android, ESPECIALLY in the tablet market!
12. ayephoner (Posts: 850; Member since: 09 Jun 2009)
who are the sheep?
every fandroid says the same stuff over and over. i like how the 2012 quad core android tablets are going to kill the ipad. which ipad? the one that will launch in early '12 that you know nothing about? oh, ok.
i like how this makes apple evil. they invented the tablet market (not the tablet). i always hear how much you guys like innovation and the market being pushed forward, then you go and post stuff like this in an apple article. Hypocrites.
15. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Dude what are you talking about? Apple didn't invent the tablet market. You have to invent the tablet in order to invent the tablet market. You are a walking oxymoron. That made no sense what so ever. Apple may dominate the tablet market NOW (that is what I think you are trying to say) but that was the same with the iPhone. Apple was dominating the smartphone market with the Apple iPhone but then Android moved past them as the world's number 1 OS. Thus almost reaching 1,000,000 daily activations. The same is going to happen to the tablet market. The first company to challenge Apple was Google's Android, that was for smartphones & now it will be for tablets. This is just pure history repeating itself. What is hypocritical about that?
16. ayephoner (Posts: 850; Member since: 09 Jun 2009)
there was no tablet market before the ipad, thus apple invented it.
android needs a REAL tablet OS with REAL dev support before they can challenge the ipad. i dont see that happening within 12 months.
windows 8 tablets are going to be the real challenge to the ipad and android will never take a majority of the tablet market. at least align your apple hate with the right company.
18. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Dude you need to STOP right there. There WAS a tablet market whether you want to believe it or not, so you need to acknowledge it. I can't take you seriously if you keep saying Apple invented the tablet market. That is beyond stupid! Apple might have capitalized on the tablet market BUT it was there before. Dude have you heard of Android Ice Cream Sandwich. It's optimized for multiple-core processors. That includes dual-core & quad-core. So THAT is happening & it won't be in the next 12 months, it looks like before Thanksgiving so what on this good planet of ours are you talking about? How can you even refute that? The only thing you are correct about is the Windows 8 tablets. Those tablets along with the new quad-core tablets from Android & the Kindle Fire will eat very heavily into Apple's iPad domination. 2012 will be the year where Apple's iPad armor will get severely damaged.
22. ayephoner (Posts: 850; Member since: 09 Jun 2009)
alright, i'll concede semantics. let me rephrase for you: the tablet market was infinitely smaller prior to the ipad, which ESTABLISHED the tablet market.
you pretending that there is some "stupid" error in what i wrote based off my exaggerative choice of words is beyond stupid.
ICS is yet to be announced, but rumors are nice. quad core processors are nice, but yet to be announced. their functionality, their ability to sell, their sales compared to the ipad's, all you have is speculation. i hope you are right. sales being spread across different manufacturers and different OSs is good for the consumer. but, so is apple releasing another platform.
25. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Listen I told you from the very first response that you were incorrect in saying that Apple invented the tablet market, then you & I quote say this "there was no tablet market before the iPad, thus apple invented it." So how can you in turn say this "you pretending that there is some "stupid" error in what I wrote based off my exaggerative choice of words is beyond stupid." How can you have the gall to call me stupid? You are right Android Ice Cream Sandwich is yet to be announced because out of respect to Steve Jobs death. If he were alive you couldn't say that. So please let's not pretend & face the facts that Android ICS is real & that quad-core tablets are real as per NVIDIA's Tegra 3. Also Apple can't keep that tablet market share for ever. The Kindle Fire proves that Android can sell a tablet. They are going to shatter the opening day tablet sales. If that is not good enough then what is? People are sick of the same old same old Apple is offering. The Apple iPhone 4S is the same old same old, the iPad 2 is the same old, same old, & iOS5 is the same old, same old. Now Android is new & fresh, once Android ICS hits you will see that, also the Kindle Fire is new & fresh thus the sales records it's going to get, & finally those new quad-core tablets running ICS, again new & fresh something Apple is sorely lacking right about NOW! Apple is a one trick pony, while Android is a buffet of new & exciting things that are constantly evolving!
27. ayephoner (Posts: 850; Member since: 09 Jun 2009)
going to, going to, going to. all you have is speculation.
there were almost no tablets sold in 2009. in 2010 there were millions upon millions of tablets sold with the launch of the ipad. the ipad accounted for as much as 90% of tablet sales that year (even though it wasnt on the market until Q2). call that what YOU want. I call that inventing a market.
28. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Again you are just doing the same old, same old. Apple didn't invent the tablet market. lol It's funny you keep insisting but hey iSheeps do that. ayephoner whatever you say! Why stop there why not say Apple invented voice recognition because of Siri? lol Hey I think Apple invented glass & invented the glass market! You know because the iPhone 4 & 4S have it & sold millions. lol
Ok I am now officially dumber because I spent too much time responding to ayephoner. Thanks a lot.

33. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Look just because something performed well in the PAST doesn't guarantee it will perform great in the future. Don't believe me talk to Nokia, & RIM. I can promise you this, the iPad can't possibly hold on to this lead it has on the tablet market. There are way too many compelling choices that are going to come out very shortly. The Amazon Kindle Fire, the quad-core Android tablets, & those Windows 8 tablets you yourself admitted to being a competitor to the Apple iPad. The iPad is at the same point now that the iPhone was when it was overtaken. This is simple history repeating itself. Don't know how to put it to you any better!
35. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
can i play mediator here? lol
apple did not invent the tablet.
apple did not invent the tablet market.
apple DID invent a DEMAND in tablets where there was very little before. How about that? :)
And apple can not hold on to the lead. Closed source products always lose to open source products in the end.. its just the nature of the source. Apple DOESNT care what % of the market it has, as long as it can continue to bleed its customers dry and have a high mark up.. its fine.
In the tablet sector, my guess is that 5 years down the line it will be windows, android, then iOS unless windows really bungles it up and/or iOS really changes up the OS which is the least functional tablet OS in the main market. If windows launches Windows8 tablet successfully and can market, the sheer amount of things that a true windows tablet can do.. especially compared to an ipad... will have it eat the market. Schools and businesses will go win8 over the others for the functionality.. ect ect ect.
The tablet market is an infant right now, we are at the beginning of the race, not the end. Expecting leaders not to change along the way is idiocracy. It will probably change several times in the next 5-10 years.
38. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Hey it starts somewhere. This is the beginning.
40. ayephoner (Posts: 850; Member since: 09 Jun 2009)
tablet market is not an infant, its a toddler because its over a year old. it was born April 3, 2010.
42. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
ok, see, you just hurt your own arguement with the date.. i hope that was a joke. The tablet market is nearly 10 years old now. Its an infant. Why? Because not even 3% of the world has a tablet where the majority has a cell phone. Its in its infantile stages. When 10% of the world has a tablet, we can call it a toddler.
37. ayephoner (Posts: 850; Member since: 09 Jun 2009)
whoa, whoa, whoa.
why aren't we still talking market invention?
i'll help you out. there were about 2 million tablets sold in '09. there were close to 20 million sold the next year with ipad being responsible for upwards of 16 million (with zero sales Q1). some figures have the ipad responsible for 95% of tablet sales in Q3 2010. NINETY FIVE PERCENT. TEN TIMES THE SALES IN ONE YEAR. ALL DUE TO THE ipad.
39. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Dude you are a moron. Just because something sells like hotcakes doesn't mean the market was invented. I can invent be best snack in the history of snacks & kick the Twinkie's ass, it doesn't mean I invented the snack market. You already admitted that you were wrong & now you are back. Really?!? Are you that stupid? I don't care if only 20 tablets were sold, just because the iPad sells a billion tablets doesn't mean they,
41. ayephoner (Posts: 850; Member since: 09 Jun 2009)
2009: no tablet market
2010: tablet market (thanks to ipad)

your "mediation" was just more fandroid trolling. thats all you or evo ever have to contribute.

lol, typical iDiot response.. if you dont agree with me 100%, then you must be an evil troll from the "other side".. lol
i wonder what its like in iBot world.. lol. these guys get a lil nutty.

I just got tired of going back & forth. The sad part is ayephoner REALLY believes that Apple INVENTED the tablet market. So I will leave it at that. iSheep just can't be reasoned with! lol

Judging from all statistical data that come out (market share, data traffic share and so on) I believe the iPad's days are very far from numbered. Neither is it altered in any way by the Kindle Fire or any other tablet. And you have no idea how well the Fire will do, because they haven't started selling it yet. Yes, Kindle Fire may become a credible competitor for iPad and that would be good, because competition drives innovation. But I rather believe these two devices target different user groups and will barely compete. Plus, Amazon's tweaks to Android seem so significant, I'm not sure any success of the Fire can be considered a success of the platform. Au contraire, that would mean people actually want something very different from stock Android.
Anyway, what you're saying is not backed up by any facts or even reasonable assumption. I don't like all this iOS vs Android madness but posts like yours make me wonder why so much useless hate is spilled across the web. Why do you so desperately need to convince yourself the market is not what it actually is? If you are confident enough in your choice of device, you shouldn't care even if you're the only person in the world to have it.

I thought Apple already had an iPad mini.... called the iPod Touch.
14. ayephoner (Posts: 850; Member since: 09 Jun 2009)
"The "mini" in this case refers more to the price segment rather than the screen size which may or may not be smaller."
did you read the article? or just rush in to make a "witty" remark?
6. AppleFUD (unregistered)
"First, Apple has never been a company driven by what its rivals do. "
So tell me then why iOS 5 has so many features from Android & RIM? Why did apple buy Siri? Why the OTA updates? ETC. . . .
Every company is pushed by its competitors. If you don't acknowledge good products and alter yours to consumers ever changing tastes and what's currently hot you will find your company back where apple was in the 90's.
I really wonder about some of the "tech journalist." Seem to be a rather clueless bunch.
17. Victor.H (Posts: 658; Member since: 27 May 2011)
Yes, seriously.
My remark about Apple was in the context of hardware - we're talking about a possible iPad mini here, which you've kindly overlooked giving a completely unrelated example with software.
So while there possibly are a couple of cases where Apple has copied hardware designs and form factors (not remembering any right away, though), the company is known for the opposite. Apple has pushed the industry with the Mac, the MacBook Air, same goes for the iPhone and it was true for the iPad. The rest of your smart conclusions, I leave without a comment.
20. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
I am sorry but Apple just copied a lot of stuff & have made them better. If that is pushing the industry then so be it. Apple is not known for original inventions. The Mac is a computer that looked different & was produced for the general public that I give you. The MacBook Air is a Laptop that is very thin & very brittle, nothing new just different, the iPhone was a direct rip off the LG Prada. Again nothing new because Apps were around before Apple & so were smartphones. The iPad is just a big iPhone that is all nothing new, also tablets were around before the iPad. So Apple didn't invent anything, they took existing ideas, made them fresh, & marketed the hell out of them. Again if that is pushing the industry then so be it. Apple now sees direct & very strong competition from the Kindle Fire so they will copy the form factor to better compete with them, again nothing was invented just reused & probably will market the hell out of!
50. roscuthiii (Posts: 2217; Member since: 18 Jul 2010)
The real trick is to name things Apple actually created itself and didn't just obtain by purchasing from another company before tweaking.
As far as Apple not copying... Really!?! Are you familiar with the Steve Jobs infamous on-stage quote about that, or should I do a quick Google search for you?
7. dacastrator (Posts: 232; Member since: 22 Sep 2011)

I was doing really well until today when I was invited unexpectedly for lunch, the situation was a bit stressful and I said yes to coffee afterwards without even thinking...still, one in 12 days is pretty good for me!
So, 12 days in. How's everybody doing?
I'm starting to see a bit of a benefit now the cravings have totally passed. The first few days were tough with getting sleepy in the afternoons and REALLY wanting a coffee in the morning, but managed to stay strong. I was able to sit with a few people the other day who were all drinking coffee and not join in, despite their repeated offerings. That was hard! I've gotta say that I don't feel massively different yet, but I'm feeling consistently more alert and evenly energised throughout the day. Someone mentioned losing the brain fog, I think that sums it up. So it's been a positive experience so far. I feel like I've broken the habit, and could have a coffee tomorrow without needing one after, or again the next day and the day after....etc. Not that I'm going to of course, at least for another 19 days!
Ayla - good news, glad it's going well for you.
Jimpag - don't worry dude, just keep trying, you'll get there.
Welcome and good luck to evertastica and aliophile.
I was doing really well until today when I was invited unexpectedly for lunch, the situation was a bit stressful and I said yes to coffee afterwards without even thinking...still, one in 12 days is pretty good for me!
There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in - Leonard Cohen
I look forward to your observations, but there's no way I'll giving up my coffee. I love the stuff and I don't think it's 'bad' for you at all, even in quite large quantities. I feel feel the same whether I've had zero mugs or 8 mugs. I've never got that 'coffee buzz' thing. I just like the taste of it.
Does Rooibos defaccinated tea count as good or bad?
here. You'll find differing opinions on the benefits of tea/coffee thing anyway. Best to think of Rooibos as not even in the debate.
As for the approach going forward, I don't really have a strategy. I just thought I'd give it a month and see what happens. I certainly don't think I'll never drink coffee again, I love it! It's been amazingly hard these last 15 days without it, and I'd definitely miss it long term. I'm probably veering towards the reduced caffeine explanation rather than it being specifically coffee. I think the problem with coffee is that one leads to another and another very easily for me, whereas with tea I don't need it in the same way. So yeah, I could eliminate tea and give coffee ago for a bit, but I reckon overall my caffeine consumption would increase loads. More likely I'll have the odd cup once or twice a week in addition and see how that affects me, both from a vitality point of view and to see if I control the cravings (if that's the right word) again.

It takes more than a bedtime story to help some kids get a good night's sleep. It's estimated three out of every 100 children suffer from sleep apnea. It causes them to briefly stop breathing. The parents may rest easy, knowing they have several options for treatment.
"Sometimes taking the tonsils and adenoids is used to treat sleep apnea. Also there is some medication management with nasal steroids or leukotriene inhibitors, a medication that helps calm the upper airway inflammation," says Dr. Jose Colon, a sleep specialist with Lee Memorial Health System.
A child's facial structure may contribute to their apnea. In cases where there is a narrow jaw, a non-surgical treatment may help them breath easier.
"There are dental procedures that can be done when you have your permanent teeth, called rapid palatal expansion, that does increase the diameter of your airway. We're not pulling any teeth, what we're doing is expanding our palate. And there's always the c-pap mask many adults wear to sleep. It stands for continuous positive air pressure. The constant airflow keeps the child's airway open. Question is, whether they'll be comfortable enough to use it," says Dr. Colon.
"The compliance of the oral devices have been found to be higher than the compliance of CPAP, but again, that's in the right patient," says Dr. Colon.
It comes down to finding the right solution to help your child rest easy.

Victory State Bank Wants You To Make Wise Choices
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Running a business means having to make important decisions.
Victory State Bank wants you to make the right choices. Some decisions can influence the future of your enterprise.
This may seem stressful, but the following tips from the U.S. Small Business Administration may help in your decision making:
- Define, as specifically as possible, what the decision is that needs to be made. Is this really your decision or someone else's? Do you really need to make a decision? (If you do not have at least two options, there is no decision to be made.) When does the decision need to be made? Why is this decision important to you?
- Brainstorm, and write down as many alternatives as you can think of. Be sure to use your resources (experienced friends and family, the Internet, etc.) to find out more about the implications of each option.
- Visualize the outcome of each alternative. Do you feel more satisfied with one outcome than with the others?
- Do a reality check. Cross off those alternatives that most likely will not occur.
- Once you have made your decision, get moving on it. Worrying or second-guessing yourself will only cause stress. You have done your very best. Remember, no decision is set in stone!

Scientists working on the 'God Particle' (the Higgs Boson) are hopeful that more new particles might show up at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN which might lead to the discovery of super symmetry and dark matter, eminent scientist Prof Durga Prasad Roy said on Monday.
Speaking at a colloquium on 'Why Large Hadron Collider?', organised by the Centre of Excellence in Theoretical and Mathematical Sciences (CETMS), set up by SOA University, on Monday, Prof Roy explained how the LHC was specifically designed to search for new physics signals beyond what had been already observed experimentally.
The senior scientist at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, said as a first landmark discovery, the LHC at CERN had already identified the Higgs Boson signal, popularly known as the 'God Particle'.
He said the fundamental description of nature could not be consistent without 'super symmetry' which was also called the Fermi-Bose symmetry.
Prof. Roy, who has made pioneering contributions in Regge Pole Theory, neutrino physics, collider physics, quantum chromodynamics, top quark physics and super symmetric grand unified theories, also provided a history of different accelerators in the world.
SOA University Vice-Chancellor Prof. RP Mohanty, CETMS Director Prof. MK Parida, professors, faculty members and research scholars were present.
