I cannot believe that it has been a month since I have been able to post anything! Christmas came and went, as did the new year! I cannot wait to see what this year has in store for my family. Me and Kyle have four more months until the wedding and I cannot believe how fast time has flown. It seems like there is no way that five months has already passed since we got engaged. My oldest sister Missy is pregnant and due at the beginning of August, and my middle sister is moving back to Florida after Missy has the baby. So a lot of new things are happening this year and I cannot wait to see what the Lord has in store for everyone.
Now onto this delicious baguette. I wish it was not so, but i love bread. Especially a french baguette. I was trying to decide what to make for the blog but was having a hard time because I did not want to make dessert, since all of us are trying to steer clear of that before the wedding. So I decided to make a french baguette, which I have been wanting to do for some time now, for a dinner we were having with my sister's father-in-law. For some reason I have been under the notion that a french baguette is one of those things you have to master before you present it, but oh was I wrong. This has to be the simplest recipe as well as the easiest, because you make the dough the night before. There are only four ingredients in this dough so it is not complicated at all.
Classic French Baguette
Makes two loaves
Adapted from Artisan Bread in Five minutes a Day
Boule Dough
3 cups lukewarm water
1 1/2 Tbsp. granulated yeast (1 1/2 packets)
1 1/2 Tbsp. kosher salt or any other course salt
6 1/2 cups all purpose flour
-In a medium size bowl add the flour and set aside.
-Add the yeast and salt to the warm water in at least a 5-qt capacity bowl. (Most kitchen aids are of this size) You do not need to get them dissolved by mixing them.
-Add all of the flour at once and mix them using the dough hook, until the mixture is uniform. This should only take a few minutes, so be sure not to over mix. The dough should be wet and loose.
-Cover with plastic wrap or a clean cloth, and let is sit at room temperature for about 2 hours. Leave the dough overnight in the refrigerator (you can also refrigerate it for up to 14 days in a lidded, not airtight container. If you plan on using it after the 14 days, you can freeze it)
Baguette Directions
Boule dough
1 Tbsp of whole wheat flour (or all purpose flour)
all purpose flour for dusting
-Place a baking stone in the middle rack of your oven. Heat the oven to 450 degrees.
-Using the all purpose flour, shape the dough into two, 2-inch diameter cylinder by rolling it back and forth with your hands.
-Place the loaves on a pizza peel covered with the Tablespoon of whole wheat flour. Allow to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
-After the dough rests, glaze the top of the loaves with water using a pastry brush. Make slits on top of the loaves using a serrated bread knife. I made about 5 on each of mine. Then transfer the loaves directly onto the hot baking stone in the oven.
Pour 1 cup of hot tap water into a regular pie pan, and place it in the oven as well. Quickly close the oven door.
-Bake about 20 minutes at 450 degrees and then turn it down to 375 degrees and bake for another 8-10 minutes until browned on top and feels sturdy in the middle.

The emergence of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) in patients at a rural hospital in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa gained international attention in 2005. By that point, physicians had become accustomed to encountering cases of multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB). When first-line antibiotics failed, they knew they could turn to more toxic and less effective second-line choices. But the outbreak in KwaZulu-Natal led to the "recognition that untreatable TB was out there," explained William R. Bishai, MD, PhD, codirector of the Johns Hopkins Center for Tuberculosis Research in Baltimore.

William R. Bishai, MD, PhD, is leading a new institution in South Africa where basic researchers will conduct research that addresses epidemic levels of tuberculosis and HIV coinfections in the surrounding area.
The KwaZulu-Natal Research Institute for Tuberculosis and HIV, opened in October, was created by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the University of KwaZulu-Natal to bring basic scientists together to study drug-resistant tuberculosis and HIV coinfections.

This is the first abstract Ben Nicholson painted and is one of only a few such works made by British artists in this period. Younger, avant-garde artists tended to concentrate on still life and landscape in the twenties using them as vehicles for formal experiment. Only three early abstract paintings by Nicholson are known and all of them display evidence of a sophiscated understanding of Cubism and its insistence on shallow space and overlapping planes. This painting was very advanced in the context of British art in this period, where the notion of abstraction was essentially equated with the distortion of natural appearance.

- Background to clinical data publication policy
The European Medicines Agency has developed its policy on the publication of clinical data for human medicines, taking account of the views and concerns of a broad range of stakeholders and European bodies. The policy complements other policies and mechanisms to ensure transparency.
The Agency is committed to continuously extending its approach to transparency. A key goal in this process is the publication of clinical-trial data for medicines once the decision-making process on an application for a European Union (EU)-wide marketing authorisation is complete.
The Agency embarked on this process because it believes that the release of data is about establishing trust and confidence in the system, because it will allow the public to better understand the Agency's decision-making.
Early development of the policy
The process began with a workshop on clinical-trial data and transparency on 22 November 2012 to discuss the practical and policy issues that needed to be addressed before the Agency can begin to release these complex data sets.
Following the event, the Agency issued a call for nominations to join advisory groups to inform it on five topics. The groups met between January and April 2013, with meetings taking place via teleconference.
- Clinical-trial-advisory-group memberships
- Clinical-trial-advisory-group memberships per affiliation category
The final advice from each group, as well as comments from the participants, is available under documents from advisory groups on clinical-trial data.
Public consultation
In June 2013, the Agency released the draft policy on publication and access to clinical-trial data for a three-month public consultation:
More than 150 individuals and organisations submitted over 1,000 comments. For more information see the overview of the outcome of the public consultation and overviews of comments:
- Outcome of public consultation on "Policy 0070 on publication and access to clinical-trial data": Summary of comments received during the public consultation and next steps
- Publication and access to clinical-trial data: list of stakeholders and stakeholder numbers
- Overview of comments from stakeholder 01 to stakeholder 88
- Overview of comments from stakeholder 89 to stakeholder 108
- Overview of comments from stakeholder 109 to stakeholder 126
- Overview of comments from stakeholder 127 to stakeholder 156
- Overview of comments from stakeholder 157 to stakeholder 169
The Agency reviewed and analysed the comments based on a set of key principles agreed by the Agency's Management Board on 12 December 2013. These included:
- a stepwise approach for implementation with, as a first step, preparation for the publication of clinical study reports redacted as appropriate;
- development of a methodology for de-identification of patients;
- definition of a standard format for the submission of data.
The principles also included the introduction of preliminary steps prior to data access designed to address the risk of possible unfair commercial use of data, while ensuring proactive and non-selective access ('use control' not 'access control').
Targeted stakeholder consultation
The policy was discussed at the March 2014 Management Board meeting and three meetings or teleconferences were held in May 2014 with patient and consumer organisations and healthcare professional organisations, pharmaceutical industry associations, including small and medium sized enterprises, and representatives from academia, research bodies, and medical journals.
Stakeholders were consulted on the principles set for possible redaction of the clinical study reports to be published, and the technical measures to make the data available under the policy, including the terms of use:
- Finalisation of the EMA policy on publication of and access to clinical trial data – Targeted consultation with key stakeholders in May 2014: Summary report
The Management Board meeting on 12 June 2014 agreed that the policy would be finalised with a view to its adoption by the Board through written procedure by mid-July 2014. Subsequently the Management Board postponed the final discussion and adoption of the policy to the Management Board meeting on 2 October 2014.
Reactive release of documents
Since 2010 the Agency has been releasing clinical-trial reports on request, under its access-to-documents policy.
The access to documents policy enables third parties to request the release of documents held by the Agency, including documents submitted as part of marketing-authorisation applications. For more information, see Access to documents.
Summary results of clinical trials
The Agency is also involved in making summaries of the results of clinical trials publicly available through the EU Clinical Trials Register.
In October 2013, the Agency upgraded the EudraCT database to enable sponsors to enter result-related information from clinical trials, in line with guidance from the European Commission. As of 21 July 2014, with the launch of a final iteration of EudraCT, it is mandatory for sponsors to post results on a systematic basis, and the summary results will be made publicly available.

Although it is a core CSS concept, many students are confused about the cascade of the cascading style sheets and how it works. In this movie we will explore the cascade and how we can take advantage of it to control our styles. Essentially the cascade states that the last style applied will win in the event of any conflict. So when a browser is interpreting your styles it looks at your external style sheets first then it renders those. It then looks for any embedded styles, styles that are going to exist in the Style tag in the Head of the document. That also applies to any styles that you have applied to your document using the Import rule. It's actually contained in the Style tag, so it would also override any external styles. Now lastly inline styles, the styles that you can apply directly to the tags themselves are applied and then they will override any external or embedded that they conflict with. This practice is discouraged against the accepted web standards of separating your structure from your presentation. So we really do it only in sort of a last ditch effort in order to get something to render. So back in Dreamweaver we are going to take a look at how we can take advantage of the cascade to really control specific elements on the page. The cascade also allows us to write modular styles. So we may have something that we want to occur globally throughout our entire site. So we will put that in an external style. But maybe there is something on just one specific page that we want to change. Well, that's perfect for an embedded style because we know it will override our external style sheets without affecting the rest of our site. So we are back in the rendering.htm file that we were working in the previous movie and if it's not visible, make sure your CSS styles is visible and I am just going to click over and switch to All mode so that I can see exactly what's going on in my file. Well, we are going to write a new CSS Rule and we do that by going down to the CSS Styles panel and there is the new CSS Rule icon at the very bottom of it, it looks like a little page with a plus symbol, I am going to click on that. That brings up our New CSS Rule dialog box. Now we are going to write an embedded style and since we are just going to do a very simple paragraph, from the Selector type I am going to choose Tag and I am going to write element selector and I will just type in p although it certainly could have also grabbed it from the pulldown menu. That gives me a list of available tags. Now at the very bottom of this you will notice that it expects me to define this in the external style sheet. Well, since I want to take advantage of the cascade and override paragraphs just in this file and not for my entire site, I will choose this document only. I am going to go ahead and click OK. That brings up our CSS Rule Definition dialog box. Well, I want to go ahead and change just a few things here. I am going to make my Size 1.2 ems, not pixels, because 1.2 pixels would be really small. And for Color I am just going to grab my color-picker and choose kind of a bright red. Now I am expecting this to restyle all my paragraphs because this is an embedded style and my external style sheet is right now currently defining what my paragraph should look like.
So by the rule of the cascade I should override all my paragraphs. So I am going to click OK and see what happens. Well, they all got bigger, but only the paragraphs outside of the sidebar changed color. Now that tells us that there is more things than just the cascade that goes into rendering our style sheets. And we will explore those concepts in a couple of the later movies. Now I wanted to do one more rule here to understand the cascade. Currently you can see in our CSS Styles dialog box under All that we now have a Style tag and if I expand that I can see that I have the one paragraph rule inside that. Well, I am going to go ahead and create another rule and I am actually going to create another paragraph rule. That may seem kind of silly, but it's not uncommon to have multiple definitions of the same element and you are adding and taking away styling to it. So remember we are doing a Tag Selector and we are going to do it in this document only. So I will go ahead and click OK. Now for Size this time I am going to size it at 0.9 ems, so that's a smaller size, and this time I am going to add a property that we didn't had before. I am going to add Line height. So for Line height I am going to do 1.6 ems and make sure that you are not doing pixels, make sure you are doing ems, and that's all we are going to do in this rule. So we are resizing it and giving it a new line height. And once again I want to click OK. I can see that my document changes. Now we have got a lot of different rules now affecting our particular paragraphs. If I click inside the paragraph outside of the sidebar and I switch my CSS Styles View back to Current, now I can really take advantage of being able to see the cascade. You can see that the bottom rule is the one that's being applied last and then as I go back up my styles I can see all the different rules that are applying rendering to my paragraph. And when I click on my bottom one I can see that it's got the font-size and the line -height from that particular rule. When I click on the paragraph above it however notice that it's picking up color, but it's not picking up font-size and font-size has a strike through. When I hover over that I actually get a tool tip and Dreamweaver tells me why that property is not being rendered. So if you are expecting to see it at that size Dreamweaver would give you an idea as to why it's not being rendered and that's because of course the other paragraph rule is overriding it. So we get a nice overview of exactly what the cascade is doing when it renders out that final style. And if I clicked in one of the paragraphs in the sidebar I see that I have a whole another set of rules affecting it. So really understanding the cascade and understanding the order that the styles are going to be applied in is really a good point for beginning to understand how your style will be rendered within the browser. In our next movie we'll focus on another rendering concept, inheritance.

In the first days of January, cell phone footage of Saddam Hussein's final moments leaked out and tore a blistering path across the Web.
The Iraqi dictator's death by hanging happened at the very end of 2006. Yet the gruesome footage of the event so rattled the Web that searches for the deposed leader dwarfed all other news queries in 2007.
The ongoing conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan also propelled buzz throughout the year. But it was Iran that snatched the No. 2 slot in the list of top news searches. The nation's budding nuclear program, its controversial and outspoken president, and the growing talk of a military confrontation between Iran and the U.S. drove an astonishing number of searchers to the Web.
Back in the U.S., President Bush may be a lame duck but, as he reminded the Washington press corps recently, he is still relevant. The exponential growth of the bloggerati and surprise events like Karl Rove's departure helped to keep buzz on the commander in chief spiking throughout 2007.
As for the hopefuls eyeing the head chair in the Oval Office, all the presidential candidates have embraced the Web. But the two Democratic front-runners succeeded in fanning the fires of Search most intensely. In 2006, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton kicked up a whopping number of queries. They did it again in '07. Clinton is currently surging ahead in the polls, but if past buzz is any judge (and we think it is), she and Obama will remain neck and neck in their buzz tally.
Why no Republican contenders in the top 10 news searches for the year? We leave that to political analysts to answer. The GOP candidates certainly know how to spark buzz, and we've seen hefty spikes on Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, and, most notably, Ron Paul over the past 365 days. But their numbers don't come close to Obama's or Clinton's. Regardless, searches for a candidate by no means translate into votes. Just ask Howard Dean about that.
In politics everything can change in a heartbeat—and likely will. When it comes to buzz, there's just one thing we can count on: The looming U.S. presidential election will ensure that one politician's name emerges among the top searches for 2008. Whose name it will be remains one of the most pressing—and spellbinding—questions of the months to come.

It's my understanding that the new wording will be to close the loophole that allows AR-15s with pistol grips that need a tool to remove the magazine.
Since the BSR-15 will not have a pistol grip, which is an 'evil' feature here in California, it may have a detatchable magazine that holds up to 10 rounds.
The BSR-15, Mini-14, Mini-30, and SU-16 series rifles which do not have 'evil' features will all be unaffected by the 'rewording' of the law.
Pistol-gripped AR-15s with the kit that requires use of a tool to remove the magazine and SKS rifles (with bayonets, which is an 'evil' feature) will be affected.
For more info on what constitutes an assault weapon or 'evil' feature in California check the following link.
(flame-retardant disclaimer)
Please don't take my comments here to mean I support the proposed re-wording of the law. I am fundamentally opposed to firearms regulation and completely support the second amendment to the constitution as it was written.

Pistol-gripped AR-15s with the kit that requires use of a tool to remove the magazine and SKS rifles (with bayonets, which is an 'evil' feature) will be affected.
In the current laws, California does not consider a bayonet or a bayonet lug an evil feature, while the federal AWB did. Does the proposed law change the list of characteristics that define an assault weapon to add a bayonet or bayonet lug?

I think it looks cooler than a regular AR. They should have a photo of one with a traditional upper. With a gas piston upper you would really have something. I think that something would be called an SU16.
November 12, 2006, 02:53 AM
Huh, how did they bend the buffer system down into that stock? Or did they do a workaround?
I think that something would be called an SU16.
If this does indeed take standard AR uppers, then the modularity of this far surpasses that of the SU-16. There are many, many, many different AR uppers on the market. Whereas I believe the SU has a half-dozen variants, and some bolt-on accessories.
Nothing against the SU, but this AR would be a huge step in the right direction for CA. Tragic that it's even necessary in the first place, but you can't keep a good man down.
November 12, 2006, 04:12 PM
Is this real or a joke?
I thought it was joke myself when I first saw it.
how did they bend the buffer system down into that stock?
This is what caused me to question whether it was real or not. I read somewhere that it uses a modified FAL gas system(?) or some such.
November 12, 2006, 04:34 PM
The silly thing still has a forward assist.

November 12, 2006, 06:17 PM
Well it can't be very modular if it changes the gas system since the gas system is in the upper, not the lower. Something similar that could take a normal AR upper would be a huge seller in California I bet.
November 12, 2006, 09:53 PM
They use standard ar uppers. Here is a thread about the prototypes the guy built. http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=30568 Mark
November 12, 2006, 09:57 PM
Huh, how did they bend the buffer system down into that stock? Or did they do a workaround?
They use a recoil spring inside the buttstock similar to a FAL or Benelli. That requires a modified bolt carrier, but the rest of the upper is pure AR-15.
Yes, it would be a big seller in CA. I know I'd buy a couple or five.

Guys here is another pic on the BSR-15
Check out our website BlackStarArms.com and look under forum if you have questions or want product updates.
We are a small company trying to start in CA. The inventor is an avid 3 gunner and was sick and tired of losing the carbine portion to those guys with grandfathered ARs, so he decided to make an AR that CA compliant yet more importantly offers the modularity and accuracy like the AR.
This is his baby. No formal testing has yet been done, but he has won a couple of his 3 gun shoots since using the BSR-15.
We are in the process of finding manufactors to produce the receivers and will be offering whole guns. No word on pricing yet, as we're still trying to crunch numbers.
Oh...a BSR-10 (.308) is in the works, but is about a year or two down the line.
Lastly, not all of us like plastic on our guns...Not putting down the SU-16, it's a good gun, but it can't change uppers by popping two pins out. And I'm definitly biased, but this just looks better and more EVIL.:evil: :evil:
November 13, 2006, 05:16 PM
I agree. I love the looks of the BSR's. Very Evil :evil:
I'll buy one definitely.
November 14, 2006, 02:27 AM
Yeehaw....this'll get the gun-grabbers hopping mad.
November 14, 2006, 02:38 AM
I know where my tax return is going!:evil:
Keep on it!!!:D
November 14, 2006, 03:55 AM
As is well known to the directors of the VPC and the Brady Center, a comb stock is far less dangerous to public order than a pistol grip. Not only will Blackstar shooters be able to legally enjoy all the functionality of an AR-15 rifle, but they will be able to sleep better at night knowing their use of a dolphin-friendly traditional comb stock must result in far less injury, death and carnage than would be caused by a pistol grip stock. And fewer dead kittens
I got to tell you that alone makes me want to buy there rifle. Just to support them
November 14, 2006, 04:02 AM
I feel bad for you Californians. You can't have anything unless it's been butchered. If I had to move there, I would just report my M4 stolen and then take it with me.:evil: Shove it, Feinstein.

Stephen Klemish, 66, a semiretired carpenter, awoke at 4 a.m., his usual time, in his house in the little town of Is-lip, Long Island. October 25th was just another Saturday in a procession of perfectly ordinary days. He fixed a light breakfast for himself and his late wife's friend Carolina Williams, 77, a disabled woman whom he cares for in his home.
After his usual roll and coffee, he drove to nearby Sayville to help his friend Jeff Schaum construct a cathedral ceiling. Around 11:30 they were interrupted by a call. Someone, a relative maybe, from the old country—Czechoslovakia—had shown up unexpectedly at Klemish's front door.
Klemish picked up the phone and heard a voice that, for almost four decades, had spoken to him only in dreams. It was Zdenka Hromadkova, 61, his first love, his true love, the love whom he thought he'd lost forever. Quite suddenly, Stephen Klemish was jolted out of his clockwork routine by a romantic myth from his past.
"I recognized her voice right away," he says. "I could know her in the dark."
The 10-mile drive home was a blur. "I could have gotten 50 tickets the way I went down that highway." He burst into his house and there was Zdenka, the same young girl he had left behind at the Prague airport 37 years ago.
"We met in the kitchen," he says, his voice breaking, "and when I got her in my hands, I just froze. For five minutes I held her. I couldn't even breathe. I couldn't let her loose. It was just like I was back in the past."
Their history is fraught with chance encounters and what can only be regarded as a kind of indestructable constancy. Stephen's family had moved to New York from Czechoslovakia in 1921, when he was an infant. They returned to their homeland in 1939 for what was to have been a vacation, but they were caught up in World War II. The Nazis confiscated their passports.
Stephen and Zdenka first met in 1947 at a firemen's ball in Zhor, a small town in Moravia near the farm on which he was working. Zdenka was a grade school teacher, and he was bewitched. "She was a knockout," he says—dark, lovely, educated, "my type of girl." He asked her to dance and it was, they agree, love at first sight. "She fell into my eyes," he recalls, "and I fell into hers."
After several months of dating they decided to marry and move to America. But Stephen's father, Romuald, who had returned to Long Island, wrote warning that Stephen might have a hard time getting admitted to the United States if he married a Czech citizen. First come to America, become a U.S. citizen, then send for Zdenka, advised Romuald. And so Stephen and Zdenka agreed that they must separate. They lived together for three years while Stephen waited for his U.S. visa. In May 1949, Zdenka said goodbye to her fiancé at the airport in Prague. "She was crying," says Stephen. "I can see it like it's today."
In Islip, Stephen took a construction job and began building the comfortable ranch house in which he still lives. "I wrote Zdenka that I'm building it for us," he says. "If we got married, we were young rabbits, you know, so we would have had a couple of children, and we'd need a place to put them."
But soon after he left Czechoslovakia, a harsh Communist regime took power and hounded Zdenka about her relationship with Stephen. She was driven out of her teaching job, forced to sweep streets and mix mortar. Her applications for a passport were regularly rejected. She wrote Stephen often, sending pictures and drawings, and he wrote her. One day, 11 years after Stephen flew away, she married someone else. "I was married on the 14th of May, the same date Stephen flew out of Prague," she says in her native Czech. "I did that so I would always remember the date he left."
"It was a paper marriage," explains Stephen. Zdenka's husband was a college professor 18 years her senior. She married him to improve her status with the authorities so that she could teach again. Stephen married in 1973. Neither he nor Zdenka had children, and neither wrote the other about their marriages. "We didn't want to hurt each other," Stephen explains.
In 1978, Stephen's wife died. Zdenka's husband died in 1982. It had been a long time since the Czech government had worried about Zdenka's loyalty, and so this fall she was permitted to join a tour of the United States and Canada. Armed with a tiny, frayed Czech-English dictionary (one that Stephen had left with her 37 years earlier) and an old picture of the Islip home Stephen built for the children they never had, she broke away from her tour group, telling the leaders that she was going to visit a friend.
She had not heard from Stephen in several years and did not know if he was alive or dead. Somehow, she made her way by train and cab to Klemish's house at 29 Manitton Court. When Carolina Williams came to the door, Zdenka was unable to explain who she was. She pointed to Stephen's picture on the wall, repeating his name again and again, and finally Carolina, who had heard the saga of Stephen's lost love, caught on.
There was a further tantalizing delay before the lovers could be reunited for good. She returned to the tour group and retrieved her clothing. He consulted his lawyer about immigration law. Twelve days later, on Thursday, Nov. 6, she slipped away from the tour for the last time and took a $110 cab ride back to Islip. On Friday morning, Stephen and Zdenka were married by a Suffolk County judge.
Zdenka, or Jean as she is now called, left three grown stepchildren and a house behind in Czechoslovakia, but none of that seems to bother her. "I didn't feel sorry for leaving anything," she says. "My favorite place is right here."
"God meant us to be together," agrees Stephen. "Our love is forever."
After 37 Years of Separation, Czech Mates Stephen and Zdenka Are Married at Last

In poll, doctors favor fewer mammograms
It's been three years since the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force launched the mammography wars with its controversial recommendation that most women get fewer of the breast cancer screening exams -- one every other year between the ages of 50 and 74. Younger women could get tested if they wanted to.
The recommendations were made after researchers tested 20 screening strategies using six different models of how breast cancer grows and spreads. Task force members emphasized that routine mammograms catch three kinds of cancers: those that are too aggressive to be cured, those that could become deadly but are caught early enough to be treated, and those that would never cause any harm.
Last week, the New England Journal of Medicine published the results of an online poll of doctors.
Fully 44 percent of those surveyed backed screening starting at age 50, while 39 percent sided with the American Cancer Society's call for more frequent screenings and 17 percent were ready to do away with screening mammograms.

She's accomplished plenty with her hands. But how good is Hope Solo on her feet?
Maksim Chmerkovskiy, for one, would like to find out, and he's pleading with Team USA's soccer goalkeeper to be his next partner on ABC's Dancing with the Stars.
"Hope Solo!" Chmerkovskiy, 31, exclaimed to PEOPLE at Wednesday's 2011 ESPY Awards in Los Angeles when asked to name his dream partner for next season. "Let's do it! I want somebody hot, I want somebody exciting, somebody passionate, and I'll do the rest."
Solo, 29, has led the Americans into the World Cup final against Japan. And Chmerkovskiy is hooked. "I'm watching every second of it," he says of the tournament, which is being held in Germany.
And where do the Ukranian-born dancer's allegiances lie? "Let's set the record straight. I've been a U.S. citizen for 15 years," he says. "That's my team, and it always has been!"
As the U.S. gears up for Sunday's final, Chmerkovskiy has some advice that could apply both to the pitch and the dance floor. "You better win the whole thing, just please," he says. "Knock it out, don't start slow and then have to catch up like we always seem to do. Just kill it in the first half, be done with it, and then cruise control over the rest of the game."
And his personal message for Solo? "I'm waiting," he says. "And please don't hurt your legs."

Ok fella's. I have always been looking at peoples picks on covers, but never do I actually use there picks. I try to see who I can get good information from. Some people actually give good information. So having said that i am going to give you guys a few picks. I am not saying i am giving good picks but i am not giving bad picks either. I actually put some reaseach into these picks, so ride with me a little or just look at my picks. unfourtantly i wish i could bet every game but i cant. I am 22 years old with no job and a gambling and weed problem. But hey im still alive and well. here is my picks
Pick 1. NATIONALS -140. Zimmerman vs Hudson. (Braves) Obviously both these guys have been fantastic this year. I dont want to start giving stats on these guys but if you are a bettor im sure you know these 2 guys. Atl has been hot and alot of people ride with them. They are on a 2 game losing streak yet they are underdogs. -140 for nats i would say might be a little high. but obviosuly its nats they are feeling. And i think they take this one. Zimmerman pitches well every game where hudson has his ups and downs. Nats bats are the hottest bats in baseball and they have rocked hudson already this season. 12 innings 8.53 era hudson has agaisnt nats. I will take nats bats nd pitcher.
Pick 2. METS RL -115. Dickey vs White (Rockies). Now this should be a obvious game with both the pitching and batting. clearly mets have the rockies. but god do mets honesltly suck. For this line to be set at -230 it means the mets are going to win. Mets should never be this high and with dickey doing bad his prvious games i am sure he bounces back against these triple AAA rockies, Plus white sucks. I like mets.
Pick 3. Dbacks -155 Saunders vs Buehrle (Marlins). I always liked dbacks bats and marlins cannot hit at all. they got abused last series by the horrible rockies. Buehrle is a ok pitcher, he has his ups and downs, but last game buehrle pitches agaisnt dbacks he got hit going 5 innings with 7 era. Saunders on the other hand shut dwn marlins this season goin 9 innings wit 0 era. Ill take saunders and there bats.
I mean i might not give the best information, but i dont got time here to sit and type. These are games i just have good feelings on. I would post other games but thats all to much. I do like to talk to people about games and alwayws want to hear other peoples opinions. so lets talk. Here me out
Last time i was on was in december and i did good going 4-0. Mayb lucky but i have been betting ever since. I am 20 and probably becoming a degenerate. Plus i smoke alot of weed. Brooklyn!!. But i am not a stupid kiddd when it comes to my money. Test mhy picks.
This is my first forum i am posting. Of course i do not win every bet i place . But i will promise you that i do win more bets then i lose. Follow me for a week or 2 and u will not be dissapointed. I am usually good with teasers. but i wil not post them considering a lot of people dont do teasers. Talk to me people
7;05 raptors VS PACERS -7 Pacers -7. Pacers -3 1st Half
Pacers have been a close to good team and are a great offense when they are on. Pacers are 4-5 at home and raptors are 2-7 on the road and raptors are not a good enough team to keep up with the pacers offense.I like pacers for half -4 and game -7.
8;05 Heat -5 VS BUCKS Heat -5
I see this game possibly being a trap with this line so small (-5). The line is probably small because vegas thinks jennings is going to abuse the heat tongiht. They say heat have been losing agaisnt fast and good point guards. I think Heat put a end to this talk and kill the bucks tonight. Heat defense steps it up and bucks defense is not good enough for the heat. HEAT -5 is the pick
10;30 kings VS CLIPPERS -4 Clippers -4
Both kings and clippers are horrible teams. But i have seen clippers play good agaisnt a few good teams and they have the potential. Gordon has been killing it and who is going to stop griffen down low. its going to be a missmatch. I like clippers -4 big

Man charged with lying about crashMarch 01,2013Police: man lied
about crash
A Chittenden man charged with lying about being the driver in a crash on Adams Road in Pittsford pleaded innocent to the felony offense this week.
Andrew N. Rasulo III pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to a charge of false swearing, which carries a potential 15-year jail sentence.
Vermont State Police arrested Rasulo late last month following a crash on Jan. 6 that involved his 2001 Nissan Maxima. A passing motorist found the car at the crash scene at 3:32 a.m. No one was in the vehicle, but police say they found Rasulos cell phone in the wreck, according to court records.
Rasulo reported the car stolen later in the day and also filed a claim with his insurance company. Police say using evidence obtained from the phone, they suspected that Rasulo was driving the car at the time of the crash.
When confronted with evidence, Rasulo allegedly told police he struck a patch of black ice, lost control and crashed. He told police he was in shock and scared after the crash and left the area.
Asked later why he lied about his vehicle being stolen, Rasulo told police Because I thought my insurance company would pay for it.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER After sitting on the Vermont Supreme Court for nearly 30 years, Justice John Dooley...

In Greek mythology, Helios is the God of the Sun. He is described as riding his fiery chariot across the sky. We see this heavenly event as the Sun traversing its path from east to west. Therefore, it is no wonder the word Helios has become synonymous with our own fiery star at the center of our universe.
In keeping with a mythic theme, Azza has named their latest case the Helios. The Azza Helios 910 case is a fiery chariot in its own right. The Azza Helios stands apart from other cases by the extra large ventilation fan that resembles a chariot wheel embedded in its side, or it could be the blue LED inside the fan that causes it to resemble a bright sun as the Helios 910 chariot carries your computer data across cyberspace.
You would think the word Helios would be a misnomer, since it is associated with heat. The last thing any computer user wants is too much heat inside the case. On the contrary, today's cases are primarily designed with cooling and ventilation in mind. So why would Azza call their latest case Helios? Although the word Helios might bring to mind images of flames and heat, the Azza Helios can show that there are other ways in which something can be "hot".

It is the most popular sport in the world, so it only makes sense that soccer would be infected with the universal virus that exists and thrives everywhere.
Intolerance based on race, religion, sexual orientation, secular origin and other factors was the world's game long before humans decided to kick a ball into a net.
So I'm not sure what more FIFA, the governing body of soccer, can do to eliminate the acts of hate that routinely occur in matches throughout the world.
FIFA already has taken a strict stance against discrimination - not with merely colorful slogans saying "End Racism."

Google Nexus 4 finally available in LG's home country
0. phoneArena 31 May 2013, 07:26 posted on
The Google Nexus 4, which was sold out on a number of occasions, was certainly one of the most demanded Android handsets of 2012; despite the lack of LTE connectivity, it took months from the time that the phone originally went on sale last November, for LG to finally build up enough inventory to meet demand...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. mafiaprinc3 (Posts: 530; Member since: 07 May 2012)
they need to make another great nexus same $300 and $350 price tag with 16/32 GB or 32 and 64 GB with LTE and usb on the go support since we can't add micro sd card
2. red_fox (unregistered)
It's kinda of late but better then never, I am glad that I bought mine, Pure stock android FTW
3. Trex95 (Posts: 900; Member since: 03 Mar 2013)
The best Android device iv'e ever had. But i hope LG make the next Nexus 5 with 1080p IPS, better camera and the most important things bigger storage at least 32 GB LTE and 16:9 aspect screen ratio.

With the playoffs over a month old and the Rangers still alive and kicking, I assume most of you have some pretty kick ass playoff beards going.
So what I'd love for everyone to do is send me a pic of your facial hair so that I can post them on the blog. I think it would be a great sign of unity between Rangers fans as we cheer our Blueshirts, hopefully, onto the Stanley Cup Finals.
You can either e-mail your pics to firstname.lastname@example.com or tweet them to me at @TheNYRBlog.
I did this two years ago and it was lots of fun, so I encourage everyone to participate.

Fall is looking a lot like winter across Northern California.
The first major storm of the season on Monday brought snow to the Sierra Nevada and rain across the rest of the region.
Highway 20 was closed east of Nevada City after five big-rigs jackknifed in about 6 inches of snow.

Imagine you have arrived at Dagoretti corner matatu stage when suddenly, swoosh!, a thug swipes your phone out of your hand! Luckily, he didn't get your wallet and you still have some cash so you board the next matatu bound for the nearest police station to report the theft. "Here's my 20 bob," you try to hand the conductor your coin but he shakes his head vigorously. "Hapana, hatuchukui cash, bebapay tu (no, we don't take cash, only a bebapay card)." You don't have a bebapay card, but you do have a new Visa card. So you hand that to the conductor who shakes his head again. "Hapana, sisi hatuna machine ya Visa. Bebapay tu! (We don't have a machine for Visa, you can only use bebapay.)"
Have you heard of the National Transport & Safety Authority Act Legal Notice 23 of 2014?It created regulations due to be implemented by all public service vehicles (PSVs) including matatus, buses, and taxis. The regulations instruct operators of PSVs that they must operate a cashless fare system as from the 1st of July 2014. The Regulations were subsequently revoked and replaced by those created by Legal Notice 23 of 2014 but these still contain the rule on operating cashless payment systems. Essentially, this means that it shall be illegal to operate PSVs after that date without a cashless system. Operators or drivers of PSVs in default risk being subjected to a fine of Kshs. 50,000, imprisonment for one year, or both. In addition, the Authority has wide powers to cancel operator and drivers licences for violations of this and other regulations passed by that legal notice.
We are curious about the current cashless systems available to PSVs and their viability if the regulations are to be implemented as they are. As iHub, we see the proposed cashless system as presenting great potential opportunities, especially around increased transparency in the transport sector. But we also see potential risks at hurriedly implementing a system without studying the broader impacts of such swift changes to the transport sector. Therefore, we hope to facilitate a growing dialogue around the latest legal notice to affect Kenyan technology users.
So we have this legal notice. What options for cashless payments exist anyway?
Current cashless payment options include the following:
mPesa (Safaricom)
Most commonly implemented via the M-Pesa Safaricom service in phones, the transaction is sent to Paybill with the business number and amount to be credited to the respective recipient's account. Matatu owners pay Safaricom 1% commission on total transactions paid through m-pesa. The product works offline, and transactions can be accessed anytime electronically. Disadvantages include that Safaricom's control of SIM cards locks out other mobile service users (e.g. what do you do if you only have an Airtel line?); there is a minimal transaction fee incurred, and payment charges may be high for small transactions. (Source)
bebapay (Equity Bank + Google)
Bebapay is a free top-up card gotten from Equity Banks, BebaPay agents and Tellers. Topping up and making payments are free services, unless using mobile money providers. However, an initial deposit of Ksh.250 is required to use the card, and the card/account can hold up to Ksh.10,000 credit. The product works offline – tap and go, and balance check, notifications of top-up or usage received by SMS. Transactions/real time sales can be monitored/tracked electronically by SMS or online by matatu owners, and this aids in decision-making, e.g. on which route to invest buses.
BebaPay service is integrated in phones (NFC-enabled), independent of telecoms; however, unavailability or loss of phone would mean no BebaPay transaction. To curb that, NTSA is looking at having a fixed POS (points-of-sale) in buses where passengers can tap. Also, loss of card would mean contacting Equity and its agents to block your account, which takes up to 24 hrs to register in the system. (Source 1; Source 2; Source 3).
With Visa, one taps their Visa card on a mobile phone or gadget to make payment, instead of swiping the plastic card. This requires a shift from magnetic card strips to chip-based versions for high security to curb fraud. May incur transaction charges. (Source).
A registered PesaPal businessman/matatu owner first creates an entry point for payments, i.e. website with integrated PesaPal, an invoice issued from the owner's PesaPal account, or listing on PesaPal's bill payments. A buyer pays using mobile money, credit card or PesaPal wallet. For offline transactions, a unique PesaPal reference is required. Payment is received in a trust account which is transferred to the recipient's account upon a withdrawal request. Receipt of transaction notifications and summary, and payment status via SMS or online. This option is more online-focused, think e-commerce. (Source).
Money is loaded into Mobikash account at an agent outlet, or linked bank account from the mobile phone, and sent from Mobikash mobile account by selecting source and destination account and sending to the selected number. Similar to m-pesa, however, in this case, money can be sent to and from any mobile phone subscriber and linked bank accounts. Bills can be paid directly from Mobikash or any of the linked bank accounts, without the intervention of an agent. Mostly mobile phone accessed, even bank accounts, and transactions can be managed on the phone. (Source).
MY 1963 card has been rolled out recently by the Matatu Owners Association in conjunction with the Matatu Welfare Association. The MY 1963 pre-paid card is developed and operated by Fabre space Limited on a point of sale [POS] terminal installed in My 1963 compliant buses and matatus.AbiriaCard (KCB + Mastercard + KBS) Abiria card has been rolled out by Kenya Commercial Bank, MasterCard and Kenya Bus Services.The card uses near field technology (NFC), where commuters pay fare by tapping onto a receiver gadget owned by the bus company.Commuters have to pre-load their fare in order to pay forpublic passenger transport (buses, taxis, ferries, trains, road toll and parking). To acquire an Abiria card, you must go tosales or reloading stations and present your identification to register and receive a card. You must pay a refundable deposit of Kshs. 50.According to the Abiria card website, sales/reloading stations are currently at: o Kencom Bus stop o Ambassador Hotel bus stop o General Post Office (GPO) o Community o Kenyatta National Hospital o Central Bus Station o Kibera o Utawalla o Kawangware Abiria Card is powered by TapToPay Ltd (a subsidiary of Advanced Card Systems (ACS) based in Hong Kong).Pilot Routes that currently support Abiria Card are: o City Centre – Community – Ngong Road – Kibera and Back o City Centre – Community - Kenyatta National Hospital and Back o City Centre – Mombasa Road – Utawalla and Back o City Centre – Yaya - Kawangware and Back
Cashless vs Cash
Proponents believe that cashless is a more organized structure of payment. Generally, fare is standard, does not fluctuate upon seasons and peak hours, e.g. rains or traffic. Since no loose cash is involved, there is no risk of unpaid loose change either.Since most cashless forms are electronically friendly, transactions can be monitored. For matatu owners, this enables tracking of sales and aids in decision-making. Also, when it comes to taxes, matatu owners have had to pay taxes beforehand to the Government, but with Cashless, revenue earned is represented through statements/bank accounts, and they can remit taxes to KRA accordingly.
On the other hand, matatu operators - drivers and conductors, are reluctant to accept cashless on the grounds that they will not have loose cash on hand for emergencies such as immediate vehicle repairs, refunding transferring passengers to other matatus, cartels on some routes who need their cuts, bribing police, etc. Also, using a cashless system denies them the extra cash at the end of the day, a share of the day's proceeds. Overall, passengers may have to pay/end up paying more due to transaction charges incurred in some cashless forms. There will also be costs involved in setting up the initial tech infrastructure and such costs may end up being passed down to the public transport users.
There are several pending questions which we are still hoping to answer in the coming days with input from various stakeholders such as NTSA and private implementing companies. For example, once public transport vehicles all move to cashless systems, do the matatu associations choose which system they will use or do all of them choose the same one? Will the cashless systems be nationwide or only in Nairobi?
All of the options stated above still have areas of further improvement with none of the options yet proving to be a clear front-runner in cashless public service vehicle payments. Issues that should be discussed especially center on accessibility and inclusivity for all public transport users, data protection and security, and technology infrastructure.What do you think are additional possible pitfalls and potential opportunities of a cashless PSV payment system? We look forward to reading your thoughts in the comments section below. Update: 1) This post was edited to clarify that Legal Notice No, 219 of 2013 was revoked by Legal Notice 23 of 2014. 2) Abiria card was added to the list of possible options.

WASHINGTON - More than seven million college students could be spared higher loan rates under a deal reached Tuesday by Senate leaders.
The agreement would freeze the interest rate for a year, preventing it from doubling from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent on July 1, making college more affordable for students even as tuition costs are rising.
Although leaders in both parties said they favored the rate freeze, they argued about how to cover its $6 billion cost.
While they bickered, President Obama traveled the country to rally college students to press for congressional action.

The word "guild" has a sort of medieval connotation. It might bring to mind visions of castles, cavalries, kings or knights. Dig further into the imagination and perhaps visualize the hearty laughs of burly, beer-drinking men, clinking their goblets and steins full of mead or wine at an old-fashioned dirt-floor tavern.
A guild meeting of the 21st century paints a slightly different picture - but the beverages remain the same and the tavern might be a bit more tidy (thankfully no dirt floors).
Williamsport has its very own guild dedicated to all things beer. The Billtown Brewers Guild, formerly the West Branch Brewers, consists of a group of men who have one passion in common: the delicious taste of a nice cold beer. But not just any beer - these gentlemen are not Bud or Miller Lite fans. They like "the fancy stuff" - craft beer.

LYNDSEY HEWITT/Sun-Gazette
Shown are members and prospective members of the Billtown Brewers Guild, a group dedicated to all things beer, at a meet and greet session at Riepstine's Pub, 913 Arch St., last month. Although the group has only male members at the moment, women are welcome too. The only requirement to join is to at least have tried brewing before attending a meeting.
"There were about six of us that started it. We had a couple names but wanted a name that kind of fit with the region," founding member Jim Pietraski said. They changed the name from West Branch to Billtown after they realized a nanobrewery in Milton has a similar name.
These beer-lovers gather on a chilly Thursday evening at Riepstine's Pub, 913 Arch St., for a meet and greet, stein mugs in hand, filled to the brim with one of the tasty craftbrews from the menu.
The evening occasion calls for new or interested guild members to meet up with current members and to talk beer. But not only to talk about beer, but also about making it. They join a rising national trend of crafting their own brews by hand at home.
Fact Box
Billtown Brewers Guild next meet and greet is at 6:30 p.m. March 6, at Riepstine's Pub, 913 Arch St.
Pennsylvania is particularly booming with homebrewers.
Gary Glass, director of the American Homebrewers Association, of which the Billtown Brewers are a member, discussed Pa. homebrewing statistics.
"As it turns out, Pennsylvania has the fourth highest membership of of any state in the nation, following Colorado (where AHA is based), California and Texas," Glass said, adding that, based on state-by-state AHA membership, there are around 58,000 homebrewers in Pennsylvania.
Beer-lovers even come from out of town to make the Thursday-night BBG meeting.
"We gotta guy coming from Lock Haven tonight ... Jim-something, he's new," said another founding member, Chris Kuriga.
He explained that a lot of what the guild does is generally held at their own homes, so they like to hold meet and greets to get to know the prospective members beforehand.
"We have families ... kids running around; do we want to bring someone to the house without meeting them first? It's kind of an excuse to meet somebody at a neutral location and have a beer, see what they're up to and then go OK, next meeting is at Bob's house, here's what we're gonna talk about," Kuriga said.
The guild has about 20 to 30 people registered on an email distribution list, but "about a dozen or so of the active ones come to the majority of the events and participate," Pietraski said.
Bob Gudgel, a veteran homebrewer since 1997, is one of those active members. Grudgel was part of a different brewers club in Selinsgrove, where he would drive 15 miles for meetings. But it was too out of the way, considering the nature of the club, so he eventually found the BBG. He likes to brew wheat beers and stouts, and enjoys drinking India pale ales.
Tim Miller, of Montgomery, was meeting the other members for the first time. He said he wants to learn more about the chemistry so he doesn't blow himself up.
Learning the chemistry of the brewing process is part of the reason the group comes together, Kuriga said, so folks who want to brew can get started without failing too miserably at first, or continue brewing out of buckets.
The group holds several types of events to engage members.
Billtown Brewers Guild has even become active in the community; they donated 25 gallons of beer for a fundraiser at the Thomas T. Taber museum over the summer - and Pietraski helps teach a homebrewing class at Pennsylvania College of Technology.
But generally a BBG event, Gudgel said, means getting to try different beers at one of the members' homes.
They hold "brewdays" (when they're actually making the beer) and also try craft beers from breweries that they've traveled to.
"We had one (an event) a week ago where we tried India pale ales - we had a whole variety and got to try a bit of each of them, and rate which ones we thought were more tasty and lass tasty," Gudgel said.
In addition to tasting and trading craft brews and sometimes commercial beers, they also hold "homebrew critiques."
"People bring in their own beers and have the club taste them and kind of pin point what's good about them and what's bad about them," Pietraski said.
This is so members can improve their recipes.
"We can compare - did you get the style the right way?; what do I need to change? That's the point can we, personally, make a better beer?," Kuriga said.
Some members stick to one type of beer that they drink or brew - like one member who Kuriga said "will brew nothing but IPAs," but others are adventurous and challenge themselves to try even more complicated recipes.
"You might try something at the bar and be like, can I make that? Here (Riepstine's Pub) they had a coffee stout - a vanilla latte stout - and the three of us tried to make something similar to it, just to see if we could," Kuriga said.
Additionally, members seem to have different passions that drive what they choose to brew - like Kuriga, who finds pride in concocting a brew that his wife enjoys.
Whatever the reason to brew, Kuriga and Pietraski both agreed that there's more to beer than just drinking it.
Like guilds of the distant past, there's adventure and companionship to be had.

|Bill Bright
Bill Bright, 1981
|October 19, 1921
|July 19, 2003(aged 81)
|Known for
|Campus Crusade for Christ
William R. "Bill" Bright (October 19, 1921 – July 19, 2003) was an American evangelist. In 1951 at the University of California, Los Angeles he founded Campus Crusade for Christ as a ministry for university students.[1] In 1952 he wrote The Four Spiritual Laws. In 1979 he produced the Jesus Film.
In 1996 Bill Bright was awarded the $1.1 million Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion, and donated the money to promote the spiritual benefits of fasting and prayer.[2] In 2001 he stepped down as leader of the organization and Rev. Steve Douglass became president.[1] He died in 2003.
Early life[edit]
Born in Coweta, Oklahoma, Bright described himself as being a "happy pagan" in his youth. He graduated from Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma with an Economics degree. As a student at Northeastern State University, he was initiated into the Zeta Chapter of Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity, and has subsequently been granted honorable alumni status to Alpha Gamma Omega Christ-Centered Fraternity. While in his early 20s he moved to Los Angeles, California and founded a company called Bright's California Confections.
Early ministry[edit]
In 1944, while attending the First Presbyterian Church, Hollywood, Bright became an Evangelical Christian. He immediately began intensive Biblical studies which led him to graduate studies at Princeton and Fuller Theological Seminaries (although he never completed a degree at either). It was while he was a student at Fuller that he felt what he regarded as the call of God to help fulfill Christ's Great Commission (Matthew 28:19) by sharing his faith, beginning with students at UCLA. This gave birth to the Campus Crusade for Christ movement.
During the decades to follow, Bill Bright and his wife, Vonette Bright, remained faithful to this work, and the ministry expanded greatly. In 2011 Campus Crusade for Christ had 25,000 missionaries in 191 countries.[3]
The Four Spiritual Laws[edit]
In 1952, he wrote The Four Spiritual Laws, an evangelistic Christian tract. In the booklet he outlines his view of the essentials of the Christian faith concerning salvation. It is summarized as four spiritual laws or principles that govern what he sees as human beings' relationship with God. The tract is available from Campus Crusade for Christ, over one hundred million copies have been distributed in all of the major languages of the world.[4][5] The booklet ends with a prayer of repentance.
The booklet summarizes four spiritual laws or principles:[6]
- 1. God loves people and offers a divine plan for their lives.
- 2. Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life.
- 3. Jesus Christ is God's only provision for man's sin. Through Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life.
- 4. We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives.
Bright held five honorary doctorate degrees: a Doctor of Laws from the Jeonbuk National University of Korea, a Doctor of Divinity from John Brown University, a Doctor of Letters from Houghton Seminary, a Doctor of Divinity from the Los Angeles Bible College and Seminary, and a Doctor of Laws from Pepperdine University.[citation needed]
In 1983, he chaired the National Committee for the National Year of the Bible. He was named the 1996 recipient of the $1.1 million Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion. He donated the prize money to causes promoting the spiritual benefits of fasting and prayer.
He wrote more than 100 books and booklets, and thousands of articles and pamphlets that have been distributed in most major languages by the millions. He was a signer of the document Evangelicals and Catholics Together.[citation needed]
Bright was a co-founder of the Alliance Defense Fund which funds high-profile litigation cases on behalf of Christians' First Amendment rights. He was also a co-signatory[7] of the Land letter of 2002 which outlined a just war rationale for the 2003 invasion of Iraq, providing a theological underpinning for the invasion being planned by President George W. Bush.
He produced the Jesus Film in 1979, which was released by Warner Bros. in the United States. It was not a financial success, losing approximately $2 million. While praising its "meticulous attention to authenticity", critics panned Jesus for being "painfully monotonous". The Los Angeles Times called it a "...dull Sunday-School treatment of the life of Christ
In 1988 he led the protest against the Martin Scorsese film The Last Temptation of Christ.[8] He called the film "blasphemous".[8] He offered to buy the film's negative from Universal in order to destroy it.[9]
Bright died in 2003. He was survived by his wife Vonette, sons Zachary and Brad, and four grandchildren. His wife died in 2015.[10]
The Rev. Billy Graham released a statement on Bright's death: "He has carried a burden on his heart as few men that I've ever known - a burden for the evangelization of the world. He is a man whose sincerity and integrity and devotion to our Lord have been an inspiration and a blessing to me ever since the early days of my ministry."[11]

Bill Magnarelli picked up the backing Monday of the United Auto Workers Central New York Community Action Program Council - Region 9 in his campaign for Onondaga County executive.
"Throughout his career, Bill has supported the issues that are most important to the UAW -- good paying jobs for our community," said Doug Havens, president of UAW Local 624. "Also, Bill has developed a strong reputation for being a public servant. His constituents' needs are No. 1 on his agenda.
"Traditionally, the UAW has chosen to endorse candidates after the primary election. This year we are endorsing the candidate for county executive we believe will best represent the hard-working men and women of Onondaga County as its chief executive -- Bill Magnarelli," Havens said.
The UAW, representing more than 4,000 local active and retired autoworkers, became the third major union to back the Democratic assemblyman, joining the Civil Service Employees Association Local 834, representing county employees, and 1199 SEIU, representing healthcare workers.
Magnarelli is running against County Legislator Ed Ryan in a primary Sept. 18 for the Democratic designation for county executive. Legislature Chairman Dale Sweetland and former Syracuse councilor Joanie Mahoney are dueling for the Republican designation.

Smith, BT, Harvey, MG, Faircloth, BC, Glenn, TC, and RT Brumfield. 2013. Target Capture and Massively Parallel Sequencing of Ultraconserved Elements for Comparative Studies at Shallow Evolutionary Timescales. Systematic Biology. In press.
This is the first paper out using ultraconserved elements (UCE's) to look at intraspecific genetic variation at shallow evolutionary timescales. UCE's are short (usually 50-200bp) stretches of DNA that have been conserved across disparate groups. About 5,000 have been identified so far in amniotes, and they've been a productive target for resolving phylogenies at deep evolutionary timescales. Within each locus genetic variability increases with distance from the center of the locus, which suggests that they might also be useful for resolving genetic variation at shallow evolutionary timescales. Here the authors sequenced UCE's from 5 species of neotropical bird in order to assess how intraspecific divergence times across barriers to dispersal differ between canopy and understory species. The empirical results are limited by relatively light sampling across geographic ranges (2 individuals per species from each of 4 areas) and the limited number of species assessed, but the real point of the paper, as the title suggests, is as a proof-of-concept for using UCE's in population genetic analysis. The authors report that inferred divergence times were consistent with and had narrower credibility intervals than analysis using cytB data from the sample individuals, which is great. Species tree topology and estimated effective population sizes were also consistent with cytB. To compensate for missing data across species/locations the authors cut down the dataset to varying levels of consistency, but where analysis of both full and reduced datasets was possible there was no significant difference in the result. In some cases, as with *BEAST, analysis of the full dataset would have taken months or years of computing time, which is a little worrying for anyone hoping to analyze a UCE dataset with larger sample sizes and/or greater geographic scope.
We thought generally that the paper was a nice illustration of the utility of UCE's in population genetic analysis, but as always the group came up with some critiques. In general it would have been nice to see a more relevant empirical hypothesis tested with this data – the goal of assessing patterns of relative divergence time across geographic barriers between canopy and understory birds seems unfeasible with just five species, and sampling was light by pop-gen standards even within those species. In terms of figure design, the use of cloudograms to illustrate the species tree estimation was cool, but didn't seem to get any particular point across. Some participants also objected to the use of "highly multilocus", instead of just "multilocus". Overall, this paper showed that UCE's are a good target for multilocus population genetic studies and did a good job exploring the ability of some current computational approaches (*BEAST, GPho-CS) to deal with these huge datasets.

Northwood's Dunleavy MVP of all-city defensive team
Northwood linebacker Joe Dunleavy had a record-setting year for the Timberwolves, capping a tremendous three-year varsity career at the school.
Dunleavy, the all-city defensive MVP, was named co-defensive player of the year in the PCL along with Corona del Mar's Alex Moore and earned All-CIF Southern Division honors.
The 5-foot-11, 190-pound Dunleavy wound up shattering the school record for tackles in a season with 142 solo tackles and 35 assisted tackles. The total number of tackles ranks him sixth in the state, according to Coach Rick Curtis.
"Joe was one of our team captains and was our defensive quarterback while leading our team in tackles by playing sideline to sideline from his middle linebacker position," said Curtis.
"Joe was a true warrior in his three years on the varsity level; he was a player who played through numerous injuries while leading our defensive unit each week."
Dunleavy and his teammates struggled at the beginning of the season, losing their first four games.
But Northwood came on strong in Pacific Coast League play to finish 3-2 and capture the Dennis Toohey Fence Post trophy. The Timberwolves advanced into the quarterfinal round of the CIF Southern Division playoffs, losing to Laguna Beach, 28-21.
"Making it to the quarterfinals, (winning) the Fence Post (stood out)," Dunleavy said. "Our team played good the whole season.
"We had to get a huge victory over Woodbridge to get it (the Fence Post) which was pretty key. We came to play and we just did it."
The Northwood players were able to listen to the advice of the coaches to finish up the season well.
"Everyone just bought into the system and started believing again and everyone just got it going," Dunleavy said.
Dunleavy played three years of varsity football at Northwood.
"I've played my whole life," he said. "I love playing with my friends and being out there with the guys."
Each year, he's been able to make strides to become a better football player.
"I feel more confident in what I'm doing out there," he said.

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) came under attack Thursday from an influential investor for its practice of stockpiling cash. Its hoard totaled $137 billion at the end of last year, and it keeps growing.
Corporations normally don't hoard cash the way Apple does. They keep enough around for immediate needs, and either invest the rest in their operations or dole it out to shareholders in the form of dividends or stock buybacks. If they need more cash for, say, an acquisition, they borrow it.
Apple has never explained why it is storing away so much money -- other than to say the company is preserving its options.
The money belongs to shareholders, so Apple is limited in what it can legally do with it. Leaving legality aside, here are some things Apple could do with $137 billion:
1. Give every American a check for $437.
2. Buy 213 million iPhones at the average wholesale price, enough for every American who lives east of the Mississippi River, plus Texas.
3. Based on market value at Thursday's close, Apple could acquire Facebook (NASDAQ: FB ) , Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN ) , LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD ) , Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX ) , Pandora (NYSE: P ) , Blackberry (NASDAQ: BBRY ) , Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO ) , Yelp (NYSE: YELP ) , Zillow (NASDAQ: ZG ) , and Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA ) -- and have more than $2 billion left to spare.
4. Create a stack of dollar bills 9,300 miles high, 38 times higher than the orbit of the International Space Station.
5. Buy 100,000 luxury Manhattan apartments, enough to house the population of Omaha.
6. Foot the bill for U.S. federal spending on education for two years.
7. Give every Apple employee a bonus of $1.7 million.
8. Double U.S. foreign economic aid to the developing world for three and half years.
9. Provide shareholders with a one-time dividend of $145 per share. (The stock closed Thursday at $456.95)
