WASHINGTON - No matter what else happens in the last couple of weeks up to the election, this is known: Barack Obama is going to drown John McCain in a sea of cash.
The Illinois senator has now raised more than $600 million - more than George Bush and John Kerry combined in the last presidential race. Click play for analysis from CBN News Sr. National Correspondent David Brody following this report.
Deep Pockets
The amount of money is stunning. More than $150 million flooded into Obama's campaign in just the month of September - more than McCain has managed to raise in his entire presidential run.
It's allowing the Democrat to run expensive ads and operations all across the country right up to Election Day.
Obama broke a promise to accept public financing.
Ironically, because McCain agreed to accept that same public financing, his spending is now limited by the very McCain-Feingold rules he helped ram into law.
And he's taken another body blow this weekend: The country's most popular black Republican, Colin Powell, has endorsed Obama.
"I think we need a generational change and I think Senator Obama has captured the feelings of the young people of America and is reaching out in a more diverse, inclusive way across our society," Powell said.
Obama responed, "Today I am beyond honored. I am deeply humbled to have the support of General Colin Powell."
The fact Powell has been secretary of state and was the general who won the first Iraq war does damage to McCain's contention Obama doesn't have the experience to wisely oversee foreign affairs and protect the nation's security.
McCain Unfazed
But McCain's dismissive of Powell's backing Obama.
"This doesn't come as a surprise," McCain told Fox News. "But I'm also very pleased to have the endorsement of four former secretaries of state."
Some analysts were saying McCain's last chance to catch up to Obama was their third debate, but few have said the Republican won any of the debates.
But the Arizona senator has still managed to close the gap a bit, and is now on average about five points behind Obama.

Coca- Cola gains another top NASCAR driver. Danica Patrick announced today that she has signed a multi-year endorsement contract with Coca-Cola.
Danica will begin supporting Coke Zero at Charlotte Motor Speedway and Daytona International Speedway with the logo on her Chevrolet and on her fire suit. She will also promote the movie "Battleship" which Coke Zero is endorsing at this time.
"Joining the Coca-Cola Racing Family is one of the really cool things that's happened so far in my career," Patrick said. "I'm a Coke Zero drinker and fan, so with this partnership, I really get to have it all. I'm really excited about working with Coke Zero for a lot of reasons, but the idea of having my image at retail stores next to guys like Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman and the rest of the Coca-Cola Racing Family is amazing."(via press release)
Sharon Byers, Coca-Cola's senior vice president for sports and entertainment, seemed very excited to have Patrick on board when she spoke with USA Today.
"She's an extremely appealing figure for Coke Zero because she basically represents everything the brand does. It's one of our biggest growing brands. Her appeal to young adult men is the exact consumer base that we want to connect."
Sharon went on to state "She's just a very interesting person. She's a fierce competitor. She's into pop culture. She loves the blend of sports and entertainment. All of that is very attractive to us when we look at personalities that will represent one of our brands."
Danica may have a pretty face and appeal to the masses, however she will need to start performing better on the track in order to keep her new endorsement deal.

An International Transdisciplinary Conference,
University of Technology, Sydney Australia
It was Roland Barthes who proposed that fashion was not an 'industry' but rather a set of fictions. By this Barthes did not wish to ignore the economic function of fashion, but rather underline fashion's mythic dimension, and suggest that fashion is a literature in itself. Fashion and fiction have long existed in close proximity; writers have been driven by their experience of fashion; fashion has been developed through and by literary tropes. What makes dress and fashion such a fascinating subject for writers? And how are fashion's mythologies constructed and disseminated through fictional texts?
This transdisciplinary conference, a creative collaboration between the Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building and the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, seeks to investigate and explore the role that fashion has played in fictional narratives from the 19th century to the present. In particular, it will examine specific fashion discourses or conversations within fiction, assessing the role, function, and purposes of clothes, fashion movements, style and image to create narratives within narratives.
Papers are sought from those engaged in the fields of literature, creative writing, media, cultural studies, fashion and design, philosophy and theory.
Papers, work-in-progress and workshops are invited. Possible topics may include but not limited to:
Selected papers will be published in a peer referred publication.
Abstract Deadline: October 15, 2006
Please send abstracts to:

From Mirror reports
Philipsburg-Osceola snagged the top seed in Class AA, while Altoona, Hollidaysburg and Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic all garnered second seeds for the upcoming District 6 high school baseball playoffs.
The district released the seedings and pairings on Friday afternoon. The tournament begins on Tuesday.
Claysburg-Kimmel was the only other Mirror coverage area team to be ranked in the top four in its classification - the Bulldogs are third in Class A, behind Guilfoyle and Bishop McCort. Penn Cambria and Portage got the fifth seeds in Class AA and A, respectively.
The seedings are calculated on a formula based on wins and schedule strength.
Altoona finished behind only Mifflin County in Class AAAA and will be off until May 20, when the Mountain Lions host third-seeded DuBois in the semifinals.
Hollidaysburg, meanwhile, is sandwiched between top-seeded Somerset and Forest Hills in a three-team Class AAA field. The Golden Tigers will play Forest Hills on May 21.
Guilfoyle, Claysburg and Portage were three of five teams that get first-round byes in the Class A bracket. Guilfoyle will play the winner of the Homer-Center/Ferndale game at Vets Field on May 18, while Claysburg entertains either sixth-seeded Northern Cambria or 11th-ranked Williamsburg that afternoon. Portage is at Conemaugh Valley in the quarterfinals. Juniata Valley also entered and is seeded ninth.
Six area teams are among the 12 filling out the Class AA field - defending champion Central is seeded sixth, Bellwood-Antis 10th, Tyrone 11th and Cambria Heights 12th. Mount Union finished as the second seed to P-O.
Penn Cambria hosts Heights in an all-Laurel Highlands Conference first-round game on Tuesday, while Tyrone is at Mountain League rival Central and Bellwood is at Inter-County Conference North foe West Branch.
Philipsburg-Osceola opens with the winner of the game between Bald Eagle Area and Blairsville.
The four championship games will be played at People Natural Gas Field on May 24-25.

The cellar door of science
When communicating science, jargon can be a barrier to understanding. On the other hand, there are some terms in the language of science which are quite beautiful as words for their own sake. Often, they have quite evocative meanings, too. [1] Could words which are inherently nice to hear or read be a useful hook for grabbing an audience?
I'm particularly partial to the word "aurora". It has the added advantage of being associated with several beautiful phenomena, but I think I also just like the way it sounds. [2] Although... I wonder whether that's really true. To what extent is it possible for me to think about the word "aurora" without picturing lights in the sky?
"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"
Juliet famously loves Romeo regardless of his family name. Supposedly, a thing or person's "essence" is independent of the label attached to it. This is an intriguing thought. However, we students of communication know that the perception is sometimes just as relevant as the reality.
This isn't a purely philosophical point. Indeed, research has shown that a rose given other names really doesn't smell as nice. Names and words matter to how we think about the world.
There's plenty more to be said about this topic, but this will do for now.
[1] This post was inspired by an idea from Becky Wragg Sykes. Over on her blog The Rocks Remain, Becky has listed a few of her own favourite beautiful science words, including "endling" and "parsec"
[2] On the other hand, I don't want to stray too far into woody/tinny territory...
Over to you:
- What are your favourite-sounding science words?
- Have you ever seen an aurora? Is it as beautiful as the hype suggests?
- When did you last smell a rose?

Show Notes
This was Phish's 13th show, an African Relief Benefit for OXFAM. Local reggae band Lambsbread was supposed to play (too?) but they canceled. This show featured the 1st public performance of Anarchy, which is an extremely short punk rock spoof. This version of Fire On The Mountain featured special guests Bobby Hackney and Jah Roy from Lambsbread, who sung the lyrics "Fire up the Ganja". In Mike's words, Jah Roy was the other singer from Lambsbread (in addition to Bobby) with huge dreadlocks who did the authentic Jamaican dub style. While the band still referred to the song as Skippy The Wondermouse, this version of Skippy was the 1st to contain the narrated lyrics to McGrupp And The Watchful Hosemasters, which Tom had recently sent to Trey.

Origin: Washington
Region: Columbia Valley
91(+?) Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - September/October 2001
Full red-ruby color. Sexy aromas of raspberry, mocha and roast coffee. Juicy, sappy and sweet, with excellent acidity giving shape and definition to the cassis flavor. Very nicely integrated, subtle oakiness adds complexity. Finishes with a whiplash of dark berry flavor. This is less obviously opulent than it was when I tasted it immediately after the bottling last summer, but this superb cabernet offers terrific potential.

Reforms help prevent? wrongful convictions
The sentiments expressed by Erie County District Attorney Frank Sedita in his Aug. 26 article "Wrongful acquittals are far more common than wrongful convictions" are common among prosecutors and some law enforcement officials who are concerned about the change that comes with improving the reliability of evidence. But that resistance has consistently melted away once police and prosecutors see that these simple reforms make their cases stronger and help ensure that the right person is caught and prosecuted.
By reviewing the nation's 297 DNA exonerations, we have been able to learn exactly where the system fails. Eyewitness misidentification is the leading cause of wrongful conviction, contributing to nearly 75 percent of the cases later overturned by DNA evidence.
False confessions played a role in more than 25 percent, and more than 40 percent of New York's DNA exonerations. More than thirty years of scientific research on memory and identification has taught us how to make lineups more reliable by minimizing the factors proven to lead to misidentifications. By requiring police to record interrogations, we are given a full record of the interrogation process so that juries can judge for themselves whether a statement was voluntarily given or the result of psychological coercion and/or exhaustion.
These simple reforms, which have been embraced by police departments across the nation, protect everyone � except the real perpetrators of crime. They provide law enforcement with more accurate evidence, strengthen prosecutors' cases, and ensure the integrity of criminal convictions. In short, they better protect the public and the innocent.
By adopting these reforms, New York can go from being a leader in wrongful convictions to a leader in preventing them.

Distinguished educator ?has landed a great gig
Let me get this straight. The Buffalo Board of Education is bringing in an "expert teacher" to straighten out the school system at a salary of $190 per hour, and $250 for daily expenses and travel when we have more school administrators per square foot than pizza joints in Western New York.
How does this happen when Buffalo State College and the University at Buffalo send people all over the world to instruct countries regarding the most popular book learning technologies on the planet?
Even the high school administrators of my hometown of Clarence send folks to China to give them a dose of American pedagogy. With hundreds of professors emeritus of this and doctors of that in Western New York, we don't have somebody abler and in a closer zip code than this lady from Florida?
The best part is that she is only required to be here twenty days until the end of the calendar year. That is less than three weeks to prescribe the fix. It will easily take her that long just to schedule the meetings and to find out who is telling the truth.
Next year when her recommendations have to be followed will be the real test. That is when the eyeball to eyeball conversations takes place and things get hot. At that time she will be back in Florida with Buffalo a far distant memory. She is truly one smart lady.

Undecided voters should? scrutinize Republican agenda
If you're an undecided moderate or independent voter, please consider a few things, including what kind of DNA threads through extreme Republicans, making them detest our somehow "different" president and repeatedly question his birth place.
How about the way they disdain innocent children of immigrants, or are indifferent to millions with no health insurance. They are contemptuous of the jobless needing assistance or food stamps and unconvinced that breathable air, healthy food, drilling our pristine wilderness and mine safety require government oversight.
Or, consider how Republicans seem unaware that anyone drawing a paycheck invests in Social Security and Medicare, earning benefits they now or will some time in the future need.
Why do their candidates want popular programs eliminated, vouchered away or left to the "supervision" of insurance companies or Wall Street? Please explain the Republican thought process suggesting that same-sex couples remotely affect anyone else's quality of life, or that women are second-class citizens whose privacy must be intruded upon by male-dominated legislative bodies.
Why, in nearly every instance of state control, are Republicans moving to suppress the vote? Mitt Romney's plans, like his tax returns, are secret.
Achieving a stable society takes effort. But a party shouting no to bipartisanship, no to compromise, no to tax fairness, no to jobs bills, no to health care, no to science or public education, no to women, no to renewable energy and no to impartial voting bears the lion's share of responsibility for a battered economy, poor quality of life and lost freedom.

Democrats better deserve? a chance at solving problems
What, after all, are the platforms of our political parties offering you and your families?
Republicans propose that you only be eligible for Social Security when you reach age 67 or 68 and that you will be hunting around with a voucher for an HMO that will not oust you if you come down with a serious condition or limit your coverage. Their plan does nothing to contain health costs. As long as you're already receiving Social Security, not to worry, but your kids and grandkids will be responsible for saving for their retirements.
Republicans keep talking about deregulation. What does that mean? Putting aside environmental protections that could slow our rapidly deteriorating climate? Or does it mean foregoing restrictions on financial entities so that we can relive the meltdown again and bail them out?
What have they said about the war in Afghanistan and plans for Iran? How have they said they would help voters pay for or reduce the high cost of education?
They seem to want smaller government but more influence for religious institutions with which you may or may not agree. And when the federal government has less, states have to take up the slack. Businesses will go to states with lower taxes, therefore making education, libraries, infrastructure and more suffer and be weakened.
Their biggest aim, they say, is to reduce the deficit and balance the budget. Do you realize that the last Republican president to do so was Eisenhower? Since then only two presidents have had a balanced budget: Lyndon B. Johnson and Bill Clinton. And Republicans want to eliminate capital gains taxes and keep the low rates on income of George H.W. Bush.
Don't think for a moment that Democrats are adequately addressing every issue well, but it sure beats what Republicans are offering.

London, UK and Oslo, Norway and New York, NY: 19 December 2012: Confirmit, the leading global software provider for Customer Experience, Employee Engagement and Market Research today announced that Datatelligence, a division of CRG Global, Inc. and one of the world's leading suppliers of consumer data collection services, has returned to the Confirmit Horizons Market Research platform.
CRG Global, Inc. conducts nearly one million interviews with consumers every year on behalf of leading brands to better understand consumer wants and needs. Datatelligence, an online community of individuals who agree to voice their opinions regarding products and services they use on a daily basis, gathers feedback from its panel members, driving decision-making in companies looking to develop and improve products.
After working with Confirmit for ten years, CRG Global decided to evaluate other technology solutions and switched to another option.
The switch was short-lived and after just six months, CRG Global was back with Confirmit.
"Reliability and uptime are essential for our clients and it just wasn't there with the new system," said CRG Global/Datatelligence President Paul Cunningham. "There were so many points of failure it simply wasn't stable. While the switch away from Confirmit Horizons offered immediate cost savings, the loss of key functionality would ultimately preclude us from ever achieving a Return on Investment with the platform we'd taken on."
"Our clients value the reliability, advanced features, and flexibility of the Confirmit Horizons platform," explains Peter Whalen, Executive Vice President, Confirmit. "In the highly competitive consumer goods and Market Research markets, Confirmit's best-in-class interviewing platform proved to be the only solution on the market that could meet all of the company's expectations. We're delighted that CRG is back with Confirmit and look forward to continuing to support the company in the future."

Sexuality had nothing to do with five-year plans and socialist realism. On the contrary, Soviet officials probably pictured nudes not as an art but as mere "pornography," a distraction of the Soviet people from the great ideals of communism.
But nudity photographers have still managed to work in this country, even in places far from Moscow. A presentation by S.Art Gallery of Voronezh-based photographer Alexander Doro makes that point. An exposition and sales of its works "Nudes, Shocking Erotica" opened last week at the gallery, offering an usual trip to the depths of Russian sexuality in these troubled times.
S.Art Gallery owner and art director, Petr Vois, is always looking out for new talent in Russia. "Sometimes you can find an artist like that in the provinces," he said, explaining that he immediately became interested in Doro's work and decided to arrange his exhibition in Moscow.
"There is a thin line between art and pornography and Doro's is on the verge of crossing that. He's a very angry artist and that's a good thing: It's like being an angry athlete," he said at the opening of the presentation. "Doro just works with female nude bodies," Vois said. "He uses them to express his feeling rather than to depict the usual beauty."
The exposition indeed has nothing to do with the commonplace and sweet beauty of nude photography of the Playboy style: Doro rejects that.
Living in the Russian province, Doro experiences all the hardships of life and that pushes him to express himself through nude photography.
The pictures are available for $300-400. The address: S.Art Gallery, Zemlyannoy Val, 14 (entrance from Maly Kazarmenny Pereulok, Metro Station "Kurskaya.")

Hello Math experts ! I am a starting at algebra a different way to show numbers 2nd grade practice sheet. I seem to understand the lectures in the class properly , but when I start to solve the questions at home myself, I commit errors . Does anyone know of any resource where I can get my answers checked before submitting them for grading? Or any resource where I can get to see a step by step answer ?

Don't sound so dismayed. I know exactly what you are going through right now. When I was a student, we didn't have much of a hope in such a situation , but today thanks to Algebrator my son is doing wonderfully well in his math classes. He used to face problems in topics such as algebra a different way to show numbers 2nd grade practice sheet and radical inequalities but all his queries were answered by this one simple to use tool known as Algebrator. Try it and I'm sure you'll do well tomorrow.

I remember I faced similar difficulties with least common measure, powers and subtracting exponents. This Algebrator is rightly a great piece of math software program. This would simply give step by step solution to any math problem that I copied from homework copy on clicking on Solve. I have been able to use the program through several Pre Algebra, Basic Math and Algebra 1. I seriously recommend the program.

Please do not take me negatively . I am searching for no shortcut. It's just that I don't seem to get enough time to try solving problems again and again. I will use the software as a reference only. Where can I find it?

I remember having difficulties with trigonometry, x-intercept and trinomials. Algebrator is a truly great piece of algebra software. I have used it through several algebra classes - Pre Algebra, Basic Math and College Algebra. I would simply type in the problem from a workbook and by clicking on Solve, step by step solution would appear. The program is highly recommended.

Like NBC's ads, this Heroes post contains Heroes spoilers
This was also a great episode to see a perfect example where artistic vision can intersect with business practicality in a harmonious union. Entertainment executives, take note: a shape shifter can be easily replaced with another actress entirely. Expect to see producers in the future use this as leverage in negotiations with difficult actors. If this breakthrough had only been made a few years ago, Friends could still be on the air.
Other things that we know now.
This blog's favorite character, the Nissan Rogue, made a dramatic reappearance in Mexico. How will the Rogue's sharp styling and rugged suspension handle Mexico's unevenly maintained highway system? We'll have to tune in to find out!
Hiro is fixing history with great success, and developing a hopeless crush on a woman old enough to be his great-great-great etc... He's also sending messages into the future via the most contrived device one could possibly imagine. As a code, "Ando, open" would feel sloppy even in a Dan Brown novel.
Micah has been left with his grandmother, played by Nichelle Nichols. Nichols is perhaps best known as Uhura from Star Trek, and was hurriedly cast after George Takei's character was killed off, due to a little known Screen Actors Guild regulation.
The final painting in Isaac's series of posthumous plot devices reveals that Mr. Bennet will get a bullet in the face by the end of the season. What the other six paintings display is as yet unknown, but given the shows love of plot twists, expect at least one of them to show Bennet paying a homeless man $50 to wear an unusually realistic looking mask of him. It's either that or a shape shifter. Maybe a homeless shape shifter?
Peter is now a brother of the brother of the sister he is now kissing. This was a very challenging scene to watch, and possibly an homage to Star Wars.
Sylar has lost his powers, which was one of the few predictions where I really stepped out on a limb during my pre-season analysis. This blog entry will return to its regularly scheduled tom-foolery after this "accurate prediction fist pump." <fist pump>
Also, Candace claimed that when she rescued Sylar she was working on behalf a third party. But who is this mysterious third party? The number of unknown conspiracies in this show is really starting to add up. At this point probably the safest bet is to say she was taking orders from a shadowy group jointly led by Leonard Nimoy and a Nissan Altima.

Shirley Leon Garrison was born in Detroit, Texas on June 3, 1919. He later moved to Idalou and graduated from Becton High School in 1936. He received his BS Degree in
Agricultural Education from Texas Tech University in 1940 followed by 16 hours toward a Masters degree.
In July of 1941, Shirley married Mildred Welch and was employed as the Ag teacher for the new vocational agriculture program at Union Schools until he was called to serve for
Uncle Sam in World War II. After the war, he spent two years in a post-war program of food distribution and agricultural rehabilitation in Europe.
He returned to the South Plains and became involved in farming at Idalou, and eventually settled in the Easter community south of Hereford. He also served as a teacher for the
USDA Returning Veterans Agriculture Program during this time. Mr. Garrison later started producing seed and formed the Garrison Seed Company in 1966. In addition to his farming operations, Shirley was involved in cattle feeding and became president of the Bar G Feed Yard in Summerfield, Texas in 1983. He was also involved in the banking industry. In 1987 he assumed the position as Chairman of the Board of First State Bank of Dimmitt. This Dimmitt bank became First United Bank which now has fourteen branches across the Plains area. He was chairman of the board until 2013.
Shirley has been a member of the Methodist Church for 80 years, having been baptized at age 14 in a horse tank. He was recognized by the First Methodist Church in Hereford for having served in every available leadership capacity during his membership. He also served the Methodist church at the Conference level. He supported other projects in
Hereford such as helping found King's Manor, a senior citizen center. He has been a strong supporter of and contributor to Ceta Canyon Methodist Camp & Retreat in Canyon, and McMurry University in Abilene. Since 2002, he has been a member of the Wolfforth United Methodist Church, Wolfforth.
Philanthropy has been a very important part of his life, benefitting many educational institutions with direct support and students with scholarship support. These gifts have come through a Trust he and Mildred created at the Amarillo Area Foundation and through direct giving to a wide range of institutions such as Texas A&M University at
Canyon (AKA West Texas State) ,Texas Tech University, Texas Tech Health Sciences Center, McMurry University, Lubbock Christian University, and the All Saints School in
Lubbock. He was also a strong supporter of agricultural heritage museums such as the American Agricultural Museum, and The American Wind Power Center in Lubbock. He has received numerous honors and awards, such as Distinguished Service and Outstanding Leadership award from the Texas/New Mexico Sugar Beet Growers and Citizen of the Year and Agricultural Man of the Year from Deaf Smith County. He has been awarded an Honorary Doctor of Humanities from McMurry University and an Honorary Doctor of Human Letters from Texas Tech University. He has been honored by Texas Tech University and the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center with a Spur Award for his philanthropy and Distinguished University Alumni and Agricultural Alumni awards.
He was active in many agricultural and agribusiness organizations, as well as many civic organizations in Hart, Hereford, and Lubbock.
In 2006, he lost his wife of 65 years to Alzheimer's. Her illness led him to give a lead gift to the Sears Methodist Foundation to build The Mildred & Shirley L. Garrison Geriatric Education and Care Center which opened in 2002 in Lubbock. Mildred resided there until her death. He also founded the Garrison Institute on Aging at the Texas Tech Health Science Center, established a Chair for research into Alzheimer's disease and funds a brain bank for use by researchers nationwide.
In 2007, he and LuCille Simons met as part of the "Forget Me Nots", a support group for the spouses of Alzheimer's patient in the Garrison Center. They married in June of 2007. They are members of the Wolfforth United Methodist Church. They have been active sports fans and are Red Raiders to the core.
Mr. Garrison is survived by his wife, LuCille Simons Garrison. And, by his three children and their spouses- Harvey Garrison and wife Joyce of Lubbock, Sharon Walker and her husband Bruce of Austin, Pamela Carrothers and her husband Bill of Horseshoe Bay; Five grand children, Kerry Garrison of Amarillo, Jana Garrison of Lubbock, Casey Carrothers of Lubbock, Collin Carrothers of Austin, and Shawn Walker of Austin; Five great-grand children, Erika Miller, Todd Miller, Kelsey Garrison, Molly Goebel and Jack Goebel.
Visitation will be Tuesday December 17, 2013 at Resthaven Funeral Home from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. A funeral service will be held Wednesday December 18, 2013 at the Lakeridge Methodist Church at 11:00 am. Private burial will be in Resthaven Memorial Park.

The Arizona legislature has banned most late-term abortions and put new requirements in place that could prevent more women from getting abortions at all.
Lawmakers passed the bill on Wednesday that bans abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, except for cases of medical emergency.
The state would also be required to maintain a website describing fetuses at different stages of development and presenting women with alternatives to abortion.
Supporters say the legislation protects unborn children who may feel pain at 20 weeks gestation. State Rep. Debbie Lesko, R-Glendale, said her vote was based on the answer to one question.
"Is the baby inside a woman's body a human?" she asked. "My answer, I believe, is yes. It is unacceptable to end the life of a human."
State Rep. Cecil Ash, also a Republican, opposed the bill, saying he believes the legislation crosses the line from setting policy to practicing medicine because it prevents women who discover a fetal abnormality at 20 weeks from having time to make their own decision.
"Most women who have reached the 20th week or fifth month of pregnancy have already made the decision in favor of life," Ash said.
The measure passed through Arizona's House by a vote of 37-22. State Senate leaders approved the bill last month.
The late-term abortion bill now heads to Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, who is expected to sign it into law.
Arizona joins six other states to ban abortion after 20 weeks. The new law would go into effect this summer.

WASHINGTON — For centuries, people have wondered how a three-pound lump of soggy tissue inside the human skull performs such tasks as recognizing faces, writing love letters, and solving equations.
Using precision electronic-scanning devices, researchers can now observe the brain's complex machinery in operation - from its specialized regions for seeing, feeling, learning and acting, all the way down to the level of individual nerve cells, genes and molecules.

Oxford Scholar Presents Latest Research
By Rachel Judy | September 27, 2010
Dr. Michael Ward
C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia are loved by generations around the world. For children, the adventures in Narnia are unparalleled. For scholars, the books contain a literary mystery that has, at times, seemed unsolvable. Oxford chaplain and Lewis scholar Dr. Michael Ward has begun to unlock some of Lewis' secrets.
On Sept. 22, Regent University's School of Communication & the Arts hosted Ward's presentation "The Heavens are Telling the Glory of God: C.S. Lewis, Narnia, and the Planets" in which he presented his theories on Lewis' work. Ward's theory responds to the disagreement among the literary community over the seemingly random construction of the books. Although they are presented as a series, there are significant inconsistencies between them that have left both readers and scholars puzzled.
"The possibility that he could have just slopped these books together is simply unthinkable," Ward told a packed audience. Rather, Ward says that Lewis—known for his secretive nature—knew exactly what he was doing when he wrote each of the seven books.
Ward believes that each of the seven novels in the Chronicles of Narnia is framed around one of the seven planets of Medieval cosmology—Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Saturn.
"The Narnia books are richly teeming with creative intelligence & because Lewis believed the same about the real world," he explained.
Ward pointed out that the subtle use of planetary characteristics in his stories is in keeping with Lewis' stated belief that atmosphere, not plot, is what ultimately draws a reader into a story. "The plot, as we call it, is only really a net whereby to catch something else. The real theme may be ... much more like a state or quality," Lewis wrote.
Ward is perhaps best known for his 2008 book, Planet Narnia: The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C.S. Lewis. The result of his doctoral dissertation research, Planet Narnia present's Ward's theory that there is indeed a cohesive theme among Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia. His latest book, The Narnia Code: C. S. Lewis and the Secret of the Seven Heavens (set for release in November) continues this look at Lewis' literary intentions.
A leading expert on the works of C.S. Lewis, Ward is a writer, speaker and chaplain of St. Peter's College, Oxford. He is the associate editor of Davey's, an online daily poetry subscription and the co-editor of The Cambridge Companion to C.S. Lewis (not yet released, with Robert MacSwain) and Heresies and How to Avoid Them (with Ben Quash).

Blue Sage Pottery and Art Gallery on Southwest Sixth Avenue is offering several new summer classes for adults and art camps for children beginning in July.
Blue Sage Pottery and Art Gallery is owned by husband and wife Kent Harris and Megan Easley. In addition to being a studio and gallery, Blue Sage Pottery is a professional pottery and art school. Evening and weekend classes, workshops, private lessons and "custom" classes are offered seasonally. Clay classes taught in the pottery studio traditionally include wheel-throwing, hand-building, glazing and finishing techniques, but Easley and Harris have added lots of new classes for the summer.
New painting workshops and children's art camps are being taught in the gallery space.
For the first time, open studio time on select nights is available to those enrolled in the clay classes.
"Our classes are unique because they are small, and students get individual attention from master artists," Easley said.
"We want students to be successful in their experiences making art. Personally, I like to demystify processes, so that my students learn a wide range of skills and ideas," she said. "Several of our students have actually gone on to develop careers in the arts, but most take classes for the enjoyment of it. It is a great time to relax with friends. We often have couples or family members take the pottery classes together, and our wide range of class times make fitting a class into your busy life easy."
Harris and Easley have MFAs and more than 10 years' experience teaching art. They have taught university, community, children's and teens' classes.
Easley is certified by the State of Texas to teach art from prekindergarten through 12th grade and is currently an art instructor at West Texas A&M University.
Harris has taught numerous workshops around the country, in addition to his local classes.
This summer, clay artist Breena Buettner will be teaching a new class, The Ancient Art of Coil-building. Buettner interned at Blue Sage when she was a student at Amarillo High School and the University of North Texas.
Register in June by calling 806-374-6568 or stopping by the gallery during regular business hours, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Preregistration is required for all classes and workshops.
To see the schedule, visit the gallery's new website at www.bluesage

The South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities (SCGSAH) welcomes students for the 2013/14 High School program. Students moved in August 10 and 11 and began orientation for the new year.
Dorchester District Two students include: Sam Bantly, Visual Arts – Ashley Ridge High School; Savannah Campo, Music-Voice – Summerville High; MacKenzie Fulmer, Visual Arts – Fort Dorchester High School; Caity Miret, Music - Flute – Ashley Ridge High School; and Wade Nix, Music - Voice – Ashley Ridge High School
This public residential high school serves students statewide and is located in downtown Greenville. The 2013/14 High School program offers rigorous academics and pre-professional training in one of five arts areas: Creative Writing, Dance, Drama, Music or Visual Arts. Summer Programs are offered in each of the art areas. Nearly 1000 students applied to SCGSAH Summer and High School programs this audition season.
"Education here takes on a different meaning, where academics are just as challenging as the art in which students study," says Dr. Bruce Halverson, President of SCGSAH. "Students have an opportunity to learn with the best faculty and take the next steps in their artistic and/or academic careers."
Academic instructors all have attained Masters and/or Doctorate degrees. Artistic faculty members are active in their disciplines led by a collection of distinguished Department Chairs: award-winning, published author Scott Gould, world-renowned dancer and choreographer Josée Garant, nationally accomplished actor/director Daniel Murray, experienced conductor/musician Dr. David Hamilton, and successful artist/sculptor Joe Thompson.
Students with a passion for art become better artists and students at SCGSAH. This public residential high school has the third highest SAT scores in South Carolina. They are ranked in the top 1% in academics for public schools, according to Newsweek. The 2013 graduating class accumulated approximately $26.5M in scholarship offers.
Middle and High school students interested in applying for the 2014/15 school year and 2014 Summer Programs can apply online: www.scgsah.org. Applications accepted through January 2014.

A GWAS of NHL is being conducted in order to understand the role that genetic variation plays in NHL risk and to identify new genes or genomic regions that may be important in NHL pathogenesis. National and international collaborations have been developed to facilitate accrual of blood or buccal cell DNA on a large set of NHL cases. Through the collaborative efforts of the InterLymph Consortium and the NCI Cohort Consortium that includes studies in the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia, we estimate that approximately 9,000 germline (blood or buccal cell) DNA samples of NHL cases and 3,000 comparable controls will be genotyped at the NCI's Cancer Genomics Research (CGR) Laboratory and subsequently available for GWAS analyses. A team of biostatisticians has been assembled to also create a common control set that will be derived from existing studies to increase sample size of controls. Follow-up will include genotyping and sequence analyses of genomic regions associated with NHL.
Note: Genotype data from this study will be made available in dbGaP once the initial publication is in press at a peer-reviewed journal.

Neither Cliff Lee nor teammate Shane Victorino would discuss their confrontation in the dugout during Friday night's win, but manager Charlie Manuel isn't concerned.
"They had a little heated words, that's all right," Manuel told The Philadelphia Inquirer. "Baseball is baseball. It's good sometimes. There's nothing wrong with that. It was no big deal."
The newspaper notes both Victorino and right fielder Hunter Pence misplayed fly balls in the fourth inning of Friday's win in St. Louis, leading to a run that gave the Cardinals a 3-2 lead. When the Phillies returned to the dugout, Lee and Victorino shouted at each other.
"It's going to stay between us. I'm not going to talk about it," Lee told The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Victorino waved off reporters when asked about the exchange.
Despite allowing just three earned runs over seven innings Friday, Lee had to settle for another no-decision. In seven starts this season, Lee is 0-2 with a 2.82 ERA.

The principal purpose of this contribution is to illustrate the potential of compressed sensing electron tomography for the characterisation of nanoparticulate materials that are vulnerable to electron beam damage. Not only is there growing interest in nanoparticles of organic materials in medical and allied contexts, there is also the need to investigate nanoparticles and nanoclusters of metals supported on biological macromolecular entities in the context of drug delivery. A qualitative account of the principles of electron tomography is outlined with illustrations from the field of heterogeneous catalysis, where electron beam damage is less of an issue, and an appendix deals with more quantitative aspects of how compressed sensing promises to expand the range of samples that have hitherto been accessible to investigation.

Haha, ahh school, so much fun.
We used to shout 'arse' (don't ask why it's arse) ridiculously loud whilst the teacher was talking and had his/her back turned. It was the funniest thing, we'd get as many people to get ready, then we'd signal, and everyone would shout it then just act as if nothing had happened. The teachers just didn't know what to do.

1943-1949 Joe DiMaggio Pro Model Bat used in the 1947 World Series
Starting Bid - $5,000.00, Sold For - $23,200.00
Offered is an exceptional Joe DiMaggio H&B pro model bat that, based upon both the H&B shipping records and the written testimony accompanying it, with great certainty can be specifically determined to have been used by DiMaggio in the 1947 World Series. Appropriately, this bat has been graded a perfect A10 by MEARS, with the company also providing a special extremely detailed report regarding the bat's World Series provenance. The bat, an H&B signature model D29L, dates from the 1943-49 manufacturing period and is an unimprovable Joe DiMaggio pro model bat from that era. Measuring 36 inches and weighing 33.9 ounces, the bat is not cracked and features deep and distinct manufacturer's stampings throughout. Nearly all of its original surface finish is retained and the grain remains tight and compact. Moderate use is displayed throughout, including ball marks and rack marks. Its physical appearance notwithstanding, it is the bat's unique provenance that further distinguishes it from all other Joe DiMaggio pro model bats from the era. H&B did not begin the practice of producing specially marked World Series bats for players until the 1950s; therefore all bats used in World Series play prior to that time are indistinguishable from those used during the regular season. Despite that inherent handicap, it is still possible, particularly in the case of the offered example, to validate a bat's use in the "fall classic." The history of this bat, combined with the empirical data found within the H&B shipping records, provides compelling evidence of its World Series use. The bat originates from the personal collection of Joseph Delle Fave, a New Jersey native, who in 1936, at the age of fourteen, lost both his arms in a bakery accident. Public sympathy at the time led to two benefit functions for Delle Fave, both of which were attended by a number of New York Yankee players. In a letter, dated January 7, 1992, Mr. Delle Fave's nephew, Joseph Cortese, details the circumstances of how his uncle obtained the bat and also provides the provenance for its World Series use. He writes in full: "To Whom It May Concern: Summarized below is the story of how the Joe DiMaggio game used bat, from the 1947 World Series came into the possession of my uncle Joseph Delle Fave. In 1936 while working in a bakery shop at the age of fourteen my uncle was involved in a tragic accident, which resulted in the loss of both arms. In October of the same year a benefit was held in West New York, New Jersey on behalf of my uncle Joey. In attendance was Lou Gehrig who presented him with an autographed ball (To Joe, With best regards Lou Gehrig) and a picture (Lou Gehrig and my uncle, Joseph Delle Fave) also autographed. Both of these are still in his personal possession. Up until the time of Lou Gehrig's illness my uncle received box seats to Yankee Stadium. Several years later, on Columbus Day, 1947, the town of Union City, New Jersey, sponsored a testimonial dinner on behalf of my uncle. Joe DiMaggio was scheduled to attend but at the last minute he had a change of plans. Joe DiMaggio gave the bat to Jackie Farrell, who was employed by the New York Yankees in a public relations capacity, to present the bat to my uncle at the dinner. Mr. Farrell indicated that the bat had been used during the 1947 World Series game in which Joe DiMaggio had hit a home run. In addition to the bat my uncle received a ball autographed by the 1947 Yankees." Research indicates that Jackie Farrell, a noted sportswriter for the Hudson Times Dispatch, was also employed by the Yankees for many years as Director of the Speakers Bureau. In his dual role of sportswriter and official team public liaison, Farrell certainly had access to the bat, and it seems highly unlikely that he would have fabricated such a story at the time, especially given the public nature of the testimonial dinner. For the record, DiMaggio hit home runs in Games 3 and 5 of the 1947 World Series, both of which were played in Brooklyn. While the written testimony presented here is persuasive, it is also corroborated by factory shipping records, none of which were available until recent years. All of the bat's barrel stampings are consistent with those produced by the company between the years 1943 and 1949; however, this particular bat can be much more narrowly dated to the three-year period 1947-1949 based upon the model number. 1947 was the first year in which DiMaggio ever ordered D29 bats and he continued to order them for the next two years. More specifically, D29L bats, with the "L" (referring to larger "Babe Ruth" style knobs), were first ordered by DiMaggio in late September of 1947. The first order was for four 36 inch, 35 ounce bats on 9/17 and the second order (also for 36 inch, 35 ounce bats) was shipped on 9/25. (The loss of one ounce by the offered bat is acceptable and a common occurrence due to the natural aging of the wood.) It is important to note that in the H&B shipping records for DiMaggio, there are only three instances where bats were specifically noted for World Series use. Those instances were on 9/23/36, 9/27/39 and 9/19/42. Not coincidentally, all of those dates were in late September, as are the dates for the D29L bats sent to DiMaggio in 1947. Thus, these are the facts we believe to be reasonably certain: 1) This particular bat was given to Della Fave on Columbus Day 1947 (October 12), six days after the completion of the 1947 World Series. 2) Based upon the model number and specifications of this bat, it is one of only six such bats sent to DiMaggio in 1947. 3) This bat was sent to DiMaggio in late September of that year, a time period that corresponds with other known, verifiable shipments of World Series bats. 4) When Farrell, a Yankees team representative, presented this bat to Delle Fave, he stated that it was used by DiMaggio in the 1947 World Series (specifically in a game in which DiMaggio hit a home run, which was either Game 3 or 5). While each of these significant facts alone is compelling evidence with regard to its World Series use, the combination of all four leads to only one reasonable conclusion: this bat was used by Joe DiMaggio in the 1947 World Series. The only real question it seems at this point is in what game (or games), as DiMaggio hit home runs in two of the six games. Very few DiMaggio bats from the 1943 to 1949 labeling period are known. That fact, combined with its unique World Series provenance, makes this one of the finest Joe DiMaggio pro model bats in existence and one that would serve as the cornerstone to any substantial Hall of Fame bat collection. This bat has been graded a perfect A10 by MEARS and is accompanied by a special four-page letter of authenticity from the company further expounding upon the evidence presented here regarding its use in the 1947 World Series. LOA from Dave Bushing & Troy Kinunen/MEARS. Reserve $5,000. Estimate $10,000/$20,000. SOLD FOR $23,200.00

Easy Ways To Get Real Estate Leads
As an investor you need Easy Ways To Get Real Estate Leads. Without them you will have a hard time obtaining or selling any real estate property. Having multiple ways of generating leads can make for a more satisfying investing experience for the newbie as well as the seasoned investor. Here are a few steps to getting quality Real Estate Leads.
Real estate leads are provided by a number of companies and have been around for years. Buying leads may sound foreign to you but the practice has been used by other industries for years like, Insurance Companies, Software Companies, Accounting Firms and Home Security Companies. So you too can consider this as an option.
People cannot contact you if they don't know you exist. This is where your visibility comes into play. Online visibility is a big part of this, which is why search engine optimization is such a hot topic among real estate investors. The more visible you are online, the more likely people will be able to find you.
You can also increase your visibility by publishing articles in your local newspaper, publishing articles and press releases online, being active in your community, conducting free seminars, and other aspects of PR. Visibility and awareness are the first steps to generating real estate leads, FREE real estate leads.
The investors who are most successful with real estate lead generation are those who understand the concept of "perceived value." When a person perceives something as being valuable, they naturally want that thing. In real estate terms, this perceived value comes from many elements.
An investor with unique knowledge of a certain niche or one who offers better properties or one who has a proven track record of client success or one who streamlines the process by networking with mortgage folks.
These are all ways a real estate investor can increase his or her perceived value, which is the value your audience perceives you to have.
You can also create an item with a high perceived value, and you can in turn use this perception of value to generate leads. Let's examine the concept of "free reports" as an example. Some invetors use this approach to real estate lead generation, but they botch the strategy because the report in question does not have a high enough perceived value — not by a long shot.
A report entitled "Top Ten Home-Buying Tips" does not have a strong perceived value and therefore will not generate many leads. Why? Because (A) it is generic, (B) it does not identify closely enough with the target audience, and (C) it's information that you can find anywhere. It is not exclusive "must read" information. It will not motivate the average reader.
So how do you increase the value of such a report? Easy. You make it a "must read" document. Instead of basic home buying tips, why not boost the value and put people under pressure to read the piece? Why not promote something like this: "Which City/Town Schools Are the Best? Exclusive Report Tells All".
This kind of document would have a much better chance of motivating people and generating leads. It would be easy to tie into real estate, too, so most of your leads would be qualified ones. But this is just something I came up with off the top of my head. You could create an even better "hot button" report with a little imagination and knowledge about your community.
To take this approach even further, you can add a visual element. Have a graphic designer create an eye-catching cover for your report, along with some thumbnail-sized versions to put on your website.
People don't trust strangers. We talked about that already. So if you cold call people as a stranger, you already face an uphill climb in terms of real estate lead generation. The key, then, is to inspire trust among your target audience. This will help you overcome the natural skepticism people have and make them more likely to contact you.
How do you generate trust? Testimonials help, especially when you use the former client's full name, photo, and neighborhood. A long track record helps too, as do awards, just be sure to tie these back to the success and satisfaction of your former clients.
You can also generate trust by sharing your expertise with people. Real estate blogging is a great example of this. I'm doing it now. If you publish a real estate blog over a long period of time, and people find that blog online (through search engines or otherwise), they will feel as if they already know you a little. If you publish quality content, people will realize that (A) you know your market, (B) you are active in that market, and (C) you obviously like to help people. Suddenly, you're not such a stranger.
Practice these steps and methods and I am sure you will find they work pretty well and I am sure you will find other Easy Ways To Generate Real Estate Leads.

Apples disappointing quarter, most profitable for a tech company in history
Apples disappointing quarter the most profitable quarter for a tech company in history
Thursday, February 7, 2013 · 10:47 am
Even after a quarter widely panned on Wall Street as flat or disappointing, Apple holds the top spot among the most profitable U.S. companies by a significant margin, Kevin Bostic reports for AppleInsider.
The $13.1 billion in profit Apple posted for the first quarter of 2013 is the most profitable quarter for a tech company in history, just edging out the record $13.06 billion set in the first quarter of 2012 also by Apple, Bostic reports. A comparison of Apples record quarter to those of the other most profitable companies in the United States shows Apple head and shoulders above its American peers.
Bostic reports, Apples $13.1 billion in profit is 31 percent more than the $10 billion of its closest competitor, oil giant ExxonMobil Apple earned more than twice the $6.4 billion of its nearest competitor, Redmond software giant Microsoft. Add in the $5.8 billion earned by IBM, and Apple still beats the total by nearly a billion dollars.

Bill O'Brien's Penn State football coaching staff has secured its first verbal commitment, according to several online reports.
Evan Schwan, the 6-foot-6, 235-pound first-team Class AAAA all-state defensive end and Big 33 selection from Central Dauphin High School, received a scholarship offer during an official visit on Saturday. Schwan, whose father played for Purdue, visited UConn last weekend and also had offers from Iowa, Rutgers, Temple and Kent State.
Schwan was relatively unknown heading into the 2011 season before making 72 tackles and 16.5 sacks in 16 games to lead the Rams on a Cinderella run to the PIAA title on which they defeated defending champion North Allegheny and perennial power North Penn from suburban Philadelphia. Schwan barely played as a junior because of a fractured vertebrae and a torn labrum.
"Just missing all reps last year in practice makes it so much tougher. But he went hard in the weight room during the offseason,'' Central Dauphin coach Glen McNamee told the Harrisburg Patriot-News recently. "And once he hit the field, he wasn't tentative at all. He went after it.''
Schwan is the eighth player to commit to the Nittany Lions since Bill O'Brien was named coach and brings the number of Penn State recruits for 2012 to 20. However, that number soon might decrease by one, as ESPN reported Friday that Philadelphia quarterback Skyler Mornhinweg has decided to attend Florida instead of Penn State.
No confirmation from Mornhinweg, the son of the Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator, has appeared yet. Mornhinweg did visit Florida in the last week and also might be visiting Virginia Tech according to some reports. He originally had given a verbal commitment to Stanford.
It looks like Jeannette four-star safety De'metrious Cox might be Lions' last chance to add to its recruiting class before Wednesday's national signing day. Georgia defensive back prospects Carnell Boyd and Jordan Moore had considered visiting this weekend with Schwan, but did not come to University Park.
Cox is expected to announce his decision early this week. He is looking at Michigan State and Ohio State and is visiting Wisconsin this weekend.
The Lions might look to try to pick up a late commitment from Rutgers in light of Greg Schiano's late decision to leave the Scarlet Knights and become coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Offensive linemen J.J. Denman and Chris Muller could be targets, as both were recruited heavily by Penn State's previous coaching staff - Denman even committed to the Lions before changing to Wisconsin and then Rutgers. However, early reports have both those players remaining with the Scarlet Knights.
New Jersey linebacker Quanzell Lambert might be asked to get a second look, too. The Lions initially passed on the 6-2, 245-pound prospect when commitments from Camren Williams and Nyeem Wartman filled their quota at the position. Williams, though, decommitted in light of the coaching changes at Penn State and will sign with Ohio State.
Penn State is believed to have as many as 23 scholarships available in this class.

Research Triangle Park Master Plan
Research Triangle, NC, USA
Project Description
Research Triangle Park is one of the pre-eminent technology parks in the United States. The Research Triangle Park Foundation, is looking for a 50 year vision to solidify the park's status as a centre of innovation and break-through scientific discoveries.
The goal of the team is not to forsake the heritage of the original park or to rebuild, but to improve upon the current assets and augment them through an additive process. To this end, three primary strategies have been identified: refurbishment and modernisation of existing facilities, the creation of multi-tenant clusters throughout the park to foster interaction and collaboration, and 2-3 targeted mixed-use urban hubs that would provide pedestrian-oriented, transit-tied centres able to provide housing and social amenities that serve and attract the workforce of the park.
The client needs not only an urban and architectural vision, but a financial business and capital investment plan and a phasing and implementation plan for how to achieve their vision over the next 50 years.
