One year ago today, the Eagles announced the hiring of Chip Kelly, in what might have been the last really good thing to happen in the Philadelphia sports world.
Let's take a quick look back over what has transpired in the 364 days since Kelly took over for Andy Reid and turned a flailing 4-12 mess into a division-winning playoff team.
Andrew Bynum, the big acquisition for the Sixers, never played for the team that gave up Andre Iguodala and some of its future to acquire him.
Bynum, who has since signed with and then been traded by Cleveland and recently waived to save cap space by Chicago, will go down as one of the monumental miscalculations of all time.
When the deal was made, it looked good — an All-Star center from the Western Conference coming to the East, where he would be a dominant figure.
It never happened.
The Sixers were 16-23 the day the Eagles hired Kelly, finished the season 33-47, head coach Doug Collins retired, and a long search netted former San Antonio Spurs assistant Brett Brown.
A year later, the Sixers are in complete rebuilding mode and hoping the stars align for them and they can add some stars to the roster. They were 12-25 before last night's game against Charlotte, which actually is better than expected, but still was the third-worst record in the league.
The hope is that last year's draft class of Michael Carter-Williams and Nerlens Noel, and this year's draft class, with potentially two lottery picks, form the nucleus for a strong future.
Across the big building with the ever-changing name from the Sixers are the Flyers. How has their year gone, since Kelly came to town?
Because of last year's lockout, the NHL season didn't begin until three days after Kelly was hired, and the Flyers started 0-3 on the way to an abbreviated 23-22-3 season.
If Kelly, a native New Englander, wanted to see playoff hockey, he would have had to go back home. The Flyers finished 10th in the East and missed the playoffs, which is kind of hard to do, for the first time since 2007.
A year later, the Flyers once again started the season 0-3, and this time fired head coach Peter Laviolette and replaced him with assistant coach Craig Berube.
After Tuesday night's win over Buffalo, the Flyers are 24-19-4 (24-16-4 under Berube) and just past the midway part of the season are right on the edge of the playoffs.
They currently are tied for fifth, but are just two points ahead of 11th. Yes, it's that bunched in the Eastern Conference. Another season of missing the playoffs would be a disaster.
Then there are the Phillies.
Five seasons have come and gone since that parade after the 2008 World Series, and the baseball team has gotten worse every year.
They lost in the World Series in 2009, lost in the NLCS in 2010, lost in the NLDS in 2011, went .500 and missed the playoffs in 2012 and went 73-89 in 2013 with Kelly in town. Last year's finish, 23 games behind first-place Atlanta in the NL East, was their worst since the 65-win team of 2000.
Last year, when Kelly was hired, the Phils were retooling with additions of Delmon Young and Michael Young to the lineup and Mike Adams to the bullpen.
They were counting on healthy years from Ryan Howard and Roy Halladay (maybe they should have hired a sports science coordinator), which didn't happen, and the bottom fell out and might not come back for some time.
A year later, the Phils head to spring training with the same old — actually older — roster, no major offseason acquisitions to speak of, unless you think Marlon Byrd is a major acquisition, and low expectations. Another fourth-place finish in the East wouldn't surprise anyone.
Meanwhile, Kelly has the Eagles poised, with another good draft and a free agent addition here or there, to repeat as NFC East champions next year and maybe go farther in the playoffs.
Happy Anniversary, Chip. It's been a heck of a year.

A pedestrian suffered a head injury in Worcester after he was the victim of a hit-and-run incident on New Year's Eve, Worcester police said.
Police responded at about 7 p.m. Tuesday to a report of a pedestrian struck near 123 Summer St. A witness said the man was hit by a small white foreign vehicle traveling south on Summer Street, according to police.
The witness told police that the victim was forced onto the hood of the vehicle when he was hit. After he fell off, the car continued to drive southbound on Summer Street.
The victim is in good condition at a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries, police said.


text: I got really bad heartburn from this too! I wasn't using the Bulletproof Coffee brand, just Trader Joe's or one of the local roasters, but it hurt way too much. I never get heartburn otherwise, so can attribute it to the coffee. Although I'm not sure what the issue is. I just stick to my coffee with heavy cream now.

The alicorn entry of the Oxford English Dictionary shows this in its etymology section:
< Italian alicorno unicorn (14th cent.), medicinal substance made from the horn of a unicorn (16th cent.), ultimately showing a variant or alteration of classical Latin ūnicornis unicorn n. (compare discussion of Romance forms at unicorn n.). Compare post-classical Latin alicornus (1551 or earlier).
The same dictionary shows these as the word's two main meanings:
1. A (mythical) animal supposedly resembling a bull with wavy horns, sometimes used as a heraldic device.
2. A horn regarded as or alleged to be obtained from the unicorn. Also: the substance of this. Cf. unicorn's horn n.
In recent times, the word alicorn began to be used to refer to the winged unicorn itself, and apparently it was reanalyzed as a compound word derived from the Latin words ala, "wing," and cornu, "horn." According to the usual procedures for creating nominal compounds in Latin, the Latin compound adjective *alicornis may be formed from these two words, and it may have the meaning "having wings and a horn." It is analogous to the Latin compound adjective unicornis, "having a single horn," from unus, "one" or "single," and cornu. This unicornis is used substantively to refer to the mythical unicorn. The substantive use of *alicornis should refer to the winged unicorn: if an unicornis (unicorn) is a horse having a single horn, then an *alicornis (alicorn) is a horse with wings and a horn.
In the compound *alicornis, the word ala appears as the combining form ali- (as in the compound words alifer, "bearing wings," and alipes, "with wings on the feet"), and the cornu is given the Latin adjectival termination -is (which replaces the final u of cornu). The English versions of unicornis and *alicornis, unicorn and alicorn, disregard that adjectival termination.

Steve, I've had similar experiences with the technicians at Ten-Tec, and--in fairness--at other places too. I used to be a service technician at Heathkit for many years, so I know what it's like. But, the key thing for a tech is to say "I don't know" when you don't, and then study the schematics, etc (as you did) to find out what is correct. I suspect the technicians you spoke with didn't have that acumen, or were too busy, or not technical enough. I had occasion to chat with TT's techs once about my 961 power supply, and they really didn't have a clue about how the circuit worked. I understood the nuance of the circuit I was asking about, but they most certainly did not. However, in fairness, they gave me the typical voltages to look for on certain pads. That kind of information will likely serve 95% of the hams calling in. If you can deal with TT's low cost boards and sometimes strange way of mounting components, the saving grace is that you can typically service the equipment yourself. When people ask me about TT---and I own an Argo 515 and an Omni-V, and have owned other TT rigs too---I always say that the equipment is excellent, and add that, to me, it's akin to very fine, nicely constructed high-performance homemade gear. Don't shoot the techs at TT. They didn't design the equipment. You're obviously capable of checking out your own rig and seeing how things work. Look at TT as a terrific resource, factor in what its techs tell you with your own experience and knowledge, and know the company will gladly supply you with spare parts if it can. I think that's an unbeatable combo--and it underscores the old premise that hams should be able to fix their own rigs!

New lounge brings taste of Vietnam, live music to East Valley Road
A new entertainment venue that specializes in Vietnamese coffee, food and music is drawing a diverse audience.
Royce Coffee and Lounge opened its doors this fall on East Valley Road. So far, the spacious and jewel-toned lounge has received more business than the restaurant, but owner Tracy Huynh hopes guest will discover the food soon too.
"We're famous for breakfast in Vietnam, so we'll introduce (that) to people here," said Huynh back before the venue opened.
Royce hasn't started breakfast service yet, but it is open for lunch and dinner and serves their famous Vietnamese coffee at all hours.
Huynh describes Vietnamese coffee as bolder in flavor and more aromatic. It's traditionally made with condensed milk. She sells a ton of it at her other restaurant location, Saigon Boat Cafe, on Alki, she said.
"In Vietnam culture, before you go to work, you get a cup of coffee and have a light meal, in the morning too," Huynh said.
A typical breakfast in Vietnam includes fare Americans would usually regard for lunch or dinner. It includes pho, rice, pork chops and bahn mi or sandwiches.
For now, Huynh is trying to increase business during the lunch and dinner hour by offering happy hour specials from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The live entertainment is bring in customers on the weekends. Royce features DJs, spinning electronic, Top 40 and rhythm and blues music on Friday nights. Saturday and Sunday the club portion hosts live Vietnamese and Asian performers. New Year's Eve a famous singer, Huyvu Quynh Vy, from Vietnam, was expected to play at the club, Huynh said.
"I think Renton doesn't have a big lounge, big club, fine dining," she said.
Huynh likes the location, which is situated in a line of hotel, retail and entertainment businesses.
Royce Coffee and Lounge is open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday and 10 a.m. to 2 a.m., Wednesday through Sunday. Its located at 3650 E. Valley Rd, Renton.

Oh, no! OBAMA IS COMING TO TAKE YOUR GUNS!
throw in a flat tax.
I would go for a single payer Canadian-style health system myself.
We already have many sensible gun laws, in some states and places. We also have some excessively strict gun laws, in some states and places. We also have some excessively lax gun laws, in some states and places. Unfortunately, this is where our odd balance of federal and state and local authority does not serve us well.
Regulating weapons in one place while leaving things wide open in another, transportation being what it is, is like the old joke about restaurants: "Having a 'no smoking' SECTION in a restaurant is like having a 'no pissing' section in a swimming pool.
On the other hand, rules that make sense in an urban community of five million riddled with gang violence and drugs, appear absurd in a rural community of five thousand where there hasn't been a murder in a decade, and vice versa.
Guns are banned in DC. More laws would not have changed a thing. The only people who had weapons are the security guards, with ARs and pistols.
I was going to suggest painting with the blood of the politicians, litle by little until they become dimwitted, dull and lifeless, but it's too late for that.
So what you're saying is. . . . do nothing at all? Looking for a suggestion here.
What is sad here is the death of democracy. A small group of officials and organizations can completely thwart the will of the majority (and a reasonable will) to the detriment of all.
I have no problem with hunting, target or sport shooting. Or even having a gun for defense, if you can prove the necessity. But guns are just too lethal too quickly to allow such unfettered access all the time any time.
Ah! Another shiny object in front of a Progressive! Intellect a meter wide and a nanometer deep.
Guns are not banned in D.C., that ban was overturned. And you can buy them 20 miles away in Virginia, as the killer did.
So, Omnius, your gratiutious ad hominen attacks aside, what exactly does "…sensible gun control… consist of? Exactly how many guns can a "moron" own? Who will be deciding that number?
Dear rwnj's: nobody's trying to take your stupid guns. Wake up! Do you really, really believe that you guys could muster together some kind of armed rebellion that could compete with the armed forces of the U. S.? There is actually a huge difference between requiring meaningful background checks for gun purchases and confiscating your precious weapons. I know you won't agree, but it had to be said. You may now proceed to your predictable rants.
I particularly like Tom's little comment in the corner… "Apparently, we'll have to dig a little deeper." I suspect that Progressives like Tom are figuring about 6 feet deep should do it.
Since you spammed this post to several threads and I don't wish to do the same, see my reply to the copy on http://www.gocomics.com/danwasserman/2013/09/17

An environmentally-sensitive hotel at a ski area. Cool.
What's LEED? Here's what they say about themselves:
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System is a voluntary, consensus-based national rating system for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings. LEED addresses all building types and emphasizes state-of-the-art strategies in five areas: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials and resources selection, and indoor environmental quality.
And, what makes Hotel Terra LEED-worthy? According to Terra Resort Group PR-maven Samantha Denny, all materials used in the building's construction must be sustainable and non-toxic. More than 90 percent of the space has natural light. Everything is zone heated.
The list goes on - right down to the mattresses. Seems many commercial mattresses contain a bevy of toxic and not-so-environmentally-friendly chemicals and materials.
Who knew?
Samantha told a "Princess and The Pea" story about company principal Rob DesLauriers bringing in a selection of mattresses and sleep testing them before deciding what kind to order.
Hey - Rob DesLauriers is a former Warren Miller films extreme skier who, along with the Egan brothers, formed the X-Team. I've skied with this guy. If he wants to be picky about his mattresses, it's okay with me.
The eco-orientation extends to using local suppliers, minimizing water and electricity use, and even to using recycled materials in the furnishings and decor. The strap-back style chairs in the Terra Cafe are made of recycled automobile seat belts. Buckle up for breakfast? (They make a mean breakfast burrito, by the way.)
"We're serious about this," Rick Walls, Terra VP of Finance, told me. "Some hotels 'green-wash' but we even employ a Vice President of Certifiability. We call her our Queen of Green."
Green-wash. Is that a great term or what?
How many times have you been in a hotel where a little sign in the bathroom tells you to hang up your towel so it can be re-used to save the Earth only to have housekeeping take it away to launder after just one use? That's green-washing.
Ashley Morgan is Terra's VP of Green and "we don't do anything without getting her approval first," Walls said.
The place is also high-tech. Hi-def, Internet-connected TVs in every room; hi-speed wireless Internet; touch-screen phones.
And, the artwork is by local artists.
All good. But is it comfortable? I only sampled a one-night stay, but I'd say the joint passed with flying colors. Samantha put me in junior suite: plush, but not overly so, and very airy; understated upscale modern is an apt description, I guess. My only complaint: the counter lighting in the full kitchen. I couldn't see what I was doing when trying to program the automatic coffee maker.
That should be the my biggest problem in life.
Frankly, I'd like to see more budget lodging slopeside everywhere, but if we're gonna go luxe, this is the way to do it.

Danny, e6 is a better place for your bishop than b7.
nah yu were better ...dint give much thinkin ... in pawn end game ...yu would have seen it if yu had given anather three or four min s ..analysis..really enjoyed it
@blake1674 i am no chess master or chess brainiac but in fact i am really bad but isnt anastaisias mate a sacrifise of the queen?and how can a white rook move to e8? do you mean e1? im confused now...
I thought Kxe5 in the beginning was a bad move....Can't white put his rook on e8 and set up the anastasia mate that someone on this site showed us? Please explain because I am confused.
Great video!
In my oppinion losses are more instructive than wins, but few people are humble enough to show their own losses to other people. And I really enjoyed hearing you think. Very instructive! Thank you!
@everyone -- Your wish is my command ... Stay tuned for next weekend's featured video for a description of every main line opening in chess, as well as the basic pawn structures and plans therein... It was quite the tricky task, but I think I hit all the important points. Get excited !!!
PS It doesn't mean this is it, or that there won't be more "opening videos" by different authors down the road. You can find videos on specific openings by searching our library (which we are adding more opening videos to all the time). Likely, there will eventually be a at least one video or two on every opening. This coming video is more of what you requested here: A description/intro into all "main line" tournament openings and pawn structures... I am pumped and hope you like it!
Great video! Also, it would be very nice if, like you said, could make a video about the basic positions in the five or six main openings a club player might face such as the Giuco Piano, Ruy Lopez, French Defense etc.
I wish people would quit saying "by definition" when they mean "necessarily".
Neat video, I enjoyed this one very much. And yes Mr. Rensch, I would definitely be interested in a video on the 5 or 6 openings you mentioned that everyone should know and be familiar with. Thanks!
Great vid! And yes, a video on openings for the club players would be amazing!
Absolutely love the live sessions. So instructive. The video idea about the opening repertoire is good, too.
So doesn't Kg8 work instead of Bc8
whoa awesome demonstration.
Good video ok I would like to ask you, as you said in the beginning of the video, to make a video with the first eight to ten moves of the five to six most popular chess openings. That would be interesting!
Hello to all,
I'm new to chess.com and really enjoy all the videos. I'm learning a lot but still have a long way to go. One of my biggest weaknesses in my game right now is lack knowledge about the theory behind the main line chess opens in general and it would be vary beneficial to my game if there were a video series about the different theory's behind the main line openings that I would see in tournament play. I hope to one day be a tournament player so if I could learn more about what I'm going to see when I start would be vary be helpful in growing knowledge of the game.
Like I said earlier I'm new to the game so I don't know how theory works in chess but I did study music in college. I had to take music theory in as part of my course requirements. Now I don't know much about chess but I'm thinking chess works in a very similar way. If you can understand the theory behind the game then the rest is just applying that knowledge to you games to see the best results. Understanding theory and applying it are to different things but knowledge is power, so the more you know the more you can apply. One spends a life time learning how apply the knowledge but without the knowledge one cannot move forward. So a video series not just about openings but chess theory in general might be helpful for those how don't know even the correct or best way of thinking about or approaching the game form a broader spectrum might be helpful. Not for me but for those how have similar ambitions. Which the everything you about chess series did a very good job of doing just that but maybe something on the intermediate to advanced level.
But these are only theories about the theory chess, of which I know very little.
Like the idea of the openings everyone must know video :-)
Enjoyed this video - thanks
When you played Bc8 couldn't you play Kg8 as after Rd7 Rf7 e6 black has Rxe6! winning a pawn
by IM Daniel Rensch
The transition from a worse middlegame to an equal ending was seemingly all IM Daniel Rensch needed to feel confident that he was outplaying his opponent... but how wrong he was! Though Bishops are generally superior to Knights in endgames of this nature, the particulars of the pawn structure change the situation drastically. For Ruy Lopez players, this game should take on even more value. Enjoy!

IM Daniel Rensch

Vienna is the capital of Austria and is also one of the country's nine states. Located in the very east of Austria, Vienna is close to Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. Its beautiful city center was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and it is considered one of the top cities in the world for the quality of life.
Next, we share some interesting attractions and things to do. You will also find some interesting tendencies for these exciting destinations as well as great lodging options.
This largest Austrian city is a place of wonderful culture, arts and entertainment. In Vienna travelers will find everything they dream of, from fascinating museums to charming districts, lush parks and the finest Vienna hotels. Read on to find out about Vienna's most visited attractions, and one of many Vienna vacation rentals.
Those who love history will love Vienna. Imagine wandering along narrow, medieval alleyways or walking across imperial squares or visiting the stunning Imperial Palace, wich astounding architecture will amaze you. But the streets and buildings are not all, Vienna has over 100 museums!, so those interested in history will be very busy just trying to decide where to go.
Vienna has far more than one hundred museums, so it is a little difficult to decide where to go. The very first recommendation is to visit the Kunsthistorisches Museum, which is centrally positioned just beside the Ring Road. The building is amazing and the large and extensive collections and exhibits are just spectacular, even if you are not an art lover.
Viennese parks and gardens are some of the most breathtaking places to visit in this amazing city. The list is so big that it is undoubtedly a difficult task to choose where to go first. But one of the most visited parks is Stadtpark, situated in the Third District. There are lots of broad walkways with statues of famous personalities of Vienna, lots of benches, fountains and ponds.
It will take just a short trip out of the city to visit Schonbrunn Palace, by train is the best way, but you will know quickly that is worth a visit. The palace is really enormous, full of historical places to visit and an amazing architecture. The interior of this stunning palace is a gem, and so is the pretty surrounding park.
Vienna's Zoo, Haus de Meeres, is a marvelous zoo offering a multitude of native and exotic animals. Tourists can enjoy the rainforest glasshouse, tiny apes, aquariums and terrariums with reptiles and snakes. Roof top terrace with scenic views of Vienna is also available.
In the current busy world, information availability plays a definite role in consumer's decisions. The idea behind providing statistics on popular spots is to allow travelers to make informed decisions as far as when to travel and what lodging type to choose. If individuals are correctly informed, they will have the opportunity to better plan their trip taking into account such variables as time, budget, and lodging alternatives, therefore getting the most out of their vacation.
To give an example, below there is one excellent deal to observe
Vienna vacation apartment: Our fully furnished apartments in Vienna are either offered as a studio apartment with one large room or as 1-bedroom apartments with 2 separate rooms. All vacation rentals offer free high speed internet access. Some rental apartments are air-conditioned other holiday apartments offer balconies. All holiday flats have fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, washer, drier and many other facilities. For more information and photos, please visit property ID#7063 at rentalo.com.

Attendance: Kelly Goold, SeaP&R, Barbara Hainley, Joan Weaver, Joani Kiehn, Anne Chafee, Peggy, Heidi Nelson, Alyssa Smith, Laura Rollins
Highlights: Work party 10/13, Trellis Grant and Fundraising info, Community Garden Planning, Update from Kelly Goold
Work Party planned for October 13.
· Alyssa has contacted Jesse, lead gardener at North Parks Maintenance, to schedule a pre work party walk through. Goal is to outline tasks for parks staff vs tasks for volunteers.
· Tools will be requested one week before.
· Work party will start at 930 (with food) and continue until 1pm or so
· Alyssa will ask for donations from Ballard Market for the food
· Tasks at the work party: weeding, removing dead branches from trees, planting donated plants and moving crowded plants.
Community Garden Planning
· Contractor will be adding bedding soil to the garden beds; volunteers will add plants after this is done.
· Email will be sent out to our list asking for donations of dividable plants from neighbors gardens. Master gardeners will compile and review plant submissions for appropriateness/maintenance ease and then contact people if the plant is okay.
· Plant donations should be dug up the day of the work party and delivered to the park.
· Each donation should be about 1 hr of volunteer time to allow for digging and delivery, and should be reflected in the sign in sheet.
Update from Kelly Goold at Seattle Parks and Rec
· Lights: incorrect parts were shipped previously and the correct parts are enroute. They will be installed in about two weeks when the contractor arrives to finish the punch list.
· SDOT: they are requiring sidewalk rebuilding to be done. Parks/neighbors think its better to wait until we receive funding for the rain garden, because it will just be dug up again.
· Budget: not much left because of SDOT's new requirements
· Kelly will get Alyssa a materials list and line item schedule for the trellis grant.
· Kelly recommends we request $17,000 to make sure we are covered.
· He said the highest reasonable bid we should take is $27,200
· Laura Rollins, Meg McNulty and Alyssa Smith will work on the Dept of Neighborhoods Grant.
· Soliciting donations of material from Limback
· Offers for fundraisers from Chucks Hop Shop and Noble Fir
· Our $6,000 or so in the bank will act as a base for the fundraising
· Volunteer labor will be matched at $20/hr

The blacksnake was commonly used when working with teams of horses. The whip could be slung over the hame of a horse or carried around the neck in working a team of mules. With the heavy load it can be thrown directly from the neck. The blacksnake is heavily shot loaded well down the thong. The blacksnake moves slowly at first but the unloaded end snaps out quickly. The 8 ft. length is measured from the butt to the end of the braiding. 12 plait kangaroo leather overlay. Color is Natural Tan. Hand crafted here at David Morgan. A whip maintenance kit is supplied with this whip, consisting of a spare fall, 5 crackers and a 6 oz. tub of Pecard Leather Dressing, with directions for fall and cracker replacement.
Do you live outside the US? Due to strict US export regulations, we are only able to ship kangaroo leather products outside the US by adhering to the US Fish and Wildlife Service export inspection procedures.

If Protestants came late to missionary work, at least in part because of the Calvinist doctrine of predestination that made evangelization seem unnecessary, they more than made up for their tardiness in the late 19th and 20th centuries, and those they influenced have helped change the face of global Christianity. At the beginning of the last century, more than four-fifths of the world's Christians lived in Europe or North America. Today, about two-thirds of them live outside those areas. This book, by Mark Noll of Notre Dame and Carolyn Nystrom, a freelance writer from Chicago, tells the stories of 17 men and women from Africa, India, Korea and China who played significant roles in planting Christianity in those countries. The authors acknowledge that their survey is fragmentary and preliminary. It is largely limited to those formed by the evangelical movement, though they include the stories of several others not easily categorized and of one Roman Catholic, Ignatius Kung Pin-Mei, bishop of Shanghai, who spent 30 years in prison, more than one-third of his life, for refusing to join the government-sponsored Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association. In 1979 Pope John Paul II named him a cardinal in pectore, though Pin-Mei did not learn of this until 10 years later.
The legacies of some were mixed. John Chilembwe, born in Malawi, studied for more than two years at Lynchburg, Va., where his contact with American racism radicalized his own views on race and justice. On his return to Africa, he worked to protect African rights and led an uprising against British colonial powers in Malawi in 1915. John Sung, a Chinese evangelist with a doctorate in chemistry from the United States, preached in a histrionic style like that of Billy Sunday; at one point he spent six months in a psychiatric hospital. Y. T. Wu (Wu Yaozong), a Chinese follower of the social gospel, moved from pacifism after Japan's brutal occupation of much of China to an embrace of Mao Zedong's Communism. The leading role he played in the growth of the "Three-Self Movement" was at the cost of other Christian communities that remained unregistered or belonged to larger ecclesial communions, even if it helped Protestant Christianity survive the dark days of Mao's regime.
The stories of many in the book continue to inspire. Albert Luthuli, a Zulu chief born in 1898 in Bulawayo in what is now Zimbabwe, was a lay preacher inspired by the doctrine of creation in the imago Dei, the image of God. A leader in the African National Congress, he fought for justice all his life and received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1960. Janani Luwum, from northern Uganda, was a member of the Acholi tribe. As Anglican archbishop of Kampala, he worked regularly with Catholic leaders. After the diverting of an Air France flight to Entebbe airport and the dramatic rescue of its Israeli hostages, he became increasingly active in criticizing Idi Amin's government, even though he continued to try to work with its representatives. He was murdered on Feb. 16, 1977, possibly by Amin himself.
Pandita Ramabai was a Hindu woman, born in 1858; after her conversion she devoted herself to the education of women and the securing of their rights. V. S. Azariah, born into a Christian family in the southeast of India, was an evangelist who contributed to the growth of the Y.M.C.A. in India and later became the first Indian bishop in the Anglican Church and its second non-Briton. Shi Meiyu, also known as Mary Stone, was born in Jiujiang to a family converted by Methodist missionaries; she studied at the University of Michigan. Returning to China as a medical doctor, she founded a hospital and later a nursing school at Jiujiang, which combined medical training with evangelism. Today her school is part of Jiujiang University, a four-campus institution with over 30,000 students.
A number of those whose stories are told have helped shape both church life and Christian theology in their countries. Some recognized the importance of developing a truly inculturated theology. Byang Kato, a Nigerian, early on saw the importance of developing a theology by and for Africans. Today there are evangelical theological schools and journals in Nigeria and elsewhere in Africa that reflect his influence. Others sought to establish indigenous Christian communities free of denominational entanglements. In India, Sundar Singh, a mystic born of a Sikh family in northwest India, sought to integrate Indian models of spirituality into his understanding of Christian faith. In his words, "Indians need the Water of Life, but not the European cup." The "Three-Self Movement," churches that were "self-governing, self-supporting, and self-propagating," was not an invention of the Chinese Communist Party but grew out of the idea of indigenous local churches encouraged by missionaries like the Americans Rufus Anderson (1796-1880) and John Nevius (1829-93) and the British missionary Roland Allen (1868-1947). In China, missionaries like John Sung and W. T. Wu favored house churches, which are now growing rapidly in China.
Because of the evangelical focus of the book, Catholic missionary work is mentioned only in passing, but it was significant. Beginning in the 16th and 17th centuries, Jesuit, Franciscan and other Catholic missionaries in China and Japan created Christian communities that endured to modern times. In 1952, when Western missionaries had to leave China, there were one million Protestants and three million Catholics. These Christians paid a high price for their faith. An estimated 8,000 mostly lay Korean Catholics were killed in the mid-19th century. During the Boxer Rebellion (1900-1), some 4,000 Protestants and 30,000 Catholics died in China. But the remarkable stories of these African and Asian men and women, ordained and lay, professionally trained or charismatic, whose zeal and commitment planted the faith so widely is inspirational for Catholics as well as evangelicals at a time when the Catholic Church is becoming more conscious of its evangelical mission.

All north american models of the Wii are the same region and all that good stuff.
Hopefully you got a good deal though. I know the Wii is selling like crazy here in Canada. I was going to buy one on Ebay, but I figured a short 3 hour wait (which is definately short compared to some people) was better then shelling out 450 bucks.

The Problem: I have an opening repertoire. It has holes. One example I know about: I play into the Nimzo-Indian as white.
But change the move order, and I find myself in the Queen's Indian, which I don't know a whole lot about.
(I play 2.Nf3 because I don't play c4 against the Dutch.)
Other examples are more simple: I don't know much about the ...Ne4 variation in the Budapest.
I haven't yet faced these OTB, but these holes are like mines - when it happens you explode and potentially lose a game right in the opening.
Here's one last one, which is a "well-known" opening trap I fell into recently.
What are some possible solutions I can think of? Well, there is a lot of data in my games to work with. Let's say for example that this last position occurred in one of my blitz games (here, or really anywhere). Even if my opponent didn't know about, or didn't see, ...e5, in principle some software should exist to point out to me that I made an opening blunder. This brings up the possibility of two distinct types of holes. The first is where you have an incompletely-filled opening tree. (Such as not knowing much about 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e5 3.dxe5 Ne4). The second is where you play an actual opening blunder. The first could be detected by how early you go out of book in your games, and the second could be detected by engine analysis.
The good news is that you only have to analyze the first 10 moves, maximum. At my level I don't need an opening tree as deep as Kramnik. The bad news is that there are a TON of games. Obviously turn-based games are not applicable here, since I use a DB for the most part. Also, since this is a knowledge question, not an analysis question, it is very likely that blitz games are the best source data, due to the high number of them.
Does anybody know any ways I can do this? Is there any software which does this? Does ChessBase do it?
I don't own GM Repertoire 2.
What is ChessDB tree?
Analyzing blitz games by hand for thousands of blitz games is something I'd like to avoid.
ChessDB is a derivative of Scid (http://scid.sf.net). They both have a Tree window that is very similar to chess.com's Opening Explorer.
In Training mode, you see the percentages, but you don't see the moves. You can play a move for your side, and the computer will reply with some move from the tree. Then you can continue down the line until you play a move that wasn't played before in the database you're looking at.
Ooooooh! I love giving advice to National Masters!
Duct tape
Not sure what you are asking. If I notice a line I need I just open my opening reportoire and add the line. Just do this consistently and you will minimize the gaps. If you think you can do it on the fly, don't save it.
The Budapest is easy to avoid if you play 1.d4 2.Nf3 and then 3.c4? That or you just learn it. If there's some KID ish line Im not sure about I go d5. That way black cannot prey on d4 and it probably is solid enough anyway.
The queens indian is just part of the game I guess, if you insist on Nf3. It's solid and not very tactical, and the ideas are clear.
Hope that helps.
The move-order 1.d4 e6 2.Nf3 Nf6 is a bit puzzling : why would anybody use it as black ?
A French fan can safely play it, and white might be move ordered into playing something other than what he'd play against 1...Nf6 2...e6?
The move-order 1.d4 e6 2.Nf3 Nf6 is a bit puzzling : why would anybody use it as black ?
1. d4 e6 gives the Dutch player the opportunity to get into it without having to face some anti-Dutch replies from White. 2.Nf3 Nf6 may be the Dutch player bailing out because he doesn't want to play the Dutch without c4 from White.
OK, let me explain my thoughts : imagine you're the white player, and you usually go 1.d4 and 2.Nf3 (a legitimate move-order to avoid various ...e5-based defences for black).
Obviously, you should be prepared for both 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 and 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 d5. You could also meet the 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 e6 move-order, which makes sense for black if he has the QID or Bogo in his repertoire. But then again, you probably have something against it : 3.c4, 3.Bf4, 3.Bg5...
But why would black play 1.d4 e6 to reach this exact same position ? Ok, he avoids the Trompovsky, but he allows a French defence... Looks like a strange trade-off. Unless of course you love so much the French defence, you want to increase your chances to play it ?!
Looks like a big price to pay for the Dutch player (he needs a whole set of defences against various white's 3rd moves), but I'm no expert in the Dutch, so maybe these systems without c4 are really frightening
Yeah, I can see that even someone from France thinks 1...e6 against 1.d4 is a concession ;) I would happily play 2.e4 there. In fact, I like playing AGAINST the French so much that I actually do play the 1.e4 move-order to reach that position!
Don't get me wrong : 1.d4 e6 makes perfect sense for a Dutch player who wants to avoid all the 2nd move deviations after 1.d4 f5 : it's 1.d4 e6 2.Nf3 Nf6 which I don't quite buy (why not 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 e6 ?)
I'm looking in the database to see if some strong player use this move-order as Black.
edit : ok, it happens. Anti-tromp play I guess...
wow.. so good to learn from the experts about the move orders and transpositions.. continue discussing guys, this really helps us..
@ozzie : I don't know if that's exactly what you're looking for, but Chess Position Trainer has a function which automatically detects new moves in a .pgn file compared to a given repertoire (if the name of the player is always spelled the same way...) : you enter the basic repertoire, maybe 7-10 moves long to start with, and then you run a process which locates the 'novelty' in every game.
I'm not sure : if white is a 1.d4 and 2.c4 player, it makes no difference (except in the example Ozzie gave us - he doesn't play c4 against the Dutch). And if he is a system player (Colle, London, Torre...), then his 2nd move is probably 2.Nf3 anyway, and you give him the extra option to play a French defence.
I can only see Tromp players tromped by this move-order

The true believers behind El Sistema, a focused and sustained music education program for schoolchildren, call music the foundation for everything from overcoming poverty to acquiring self-discipline, teamwork and leadership skills. Not only can it provide creative and spiritual uplift, they say, it can help unlock a child's limitless potential and ability to learn and achieve excellence.
That's a tall order for any educational initiative. But "The System" has been striving to accomplish those goals since its founding in Venezuela in 1975. Today it involves some 300,000 elementary schoolchildren in that country, and has spread to more than two dozen other countries.
This fall, the program will roll out in two New York schools outside New York City. One of them is the Cathedral Academy at Pompei, on Syracuse's North Side. It's an exciting prospect for a number of reasons: because of the diverse student body that will be exposed to the program; the distinguished musicians who are participating; and the potential of the initiative to make a positive difference in children's lives.
Cathedral Academy has welcomed children of recent immigrants from around the world. The student body is a tapestry of colors, languages and socioeconomic backgrounds. Principal Patty Schmidt calls her school "a learning lab for global education."
How appropriate, then, that this multinational music initiative should make its debut there. The Young Musicians Project, as it is called, is sponsored by the nonprofit, after-school arts organization Imagine Syracuse, whose director, Jessie Keating, predicts the program will "put Syracuse on the musical map."
This summer, students in grades three through six will have the chance to familiarize themselves with one or more of some 60 instruments donated by the Music & Arts shop in Clay. Next month, a two-day workshop is scheduled for the program's core team and other adult participants, including former members of the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra.
Starting in the fall, students will receive an intense musical experience at school, five days a week — first, a 45-minute group instrumental or singing lesson, followed by 45 minutes of music enrichment.
The program is funded by grants, with support thus far from the Central New York Community Foundation and the Dorothy and Marshall M. Reisman foundations.
A documentary about El Sistema titled "Tocar y Luchar" ("To Play and to Fight") is scheduled for a free public screening at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the school, 923 N. McBride St. That same day at 7 p.m., Regal Cinemas at ShoppingTown Mall and Carousel Center are due to present "Dudamel: Let the Children Play." The inspirational movie, filmed in seven countries, features acclaimed conductor Gustavo Dudamel of the Los Angeles Philharmonic — himself a "graduate" of El Sistema in Venezuela and music director of its Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra.
And if you hear joyful noises coming from Cathedral Academy on schoolday afternoons beginning this fall, let the sounds from heaven flow soothingly into your soul.

Traffic on Interstate 81 north was reopened to commuters in time for the Monday morning commute after work began to reset bridge beams over the roadway north of Harrisburg.
The northbound lanes of the interstate were reported open as of about 5 a.m. Monday in the area of Exit 67 for North Cameron Street, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Workers closed the roadway Sunday night in order to set new beams on the bridge that carries eastbound Route 22 over the interstate, according to PennDot.
It was not immediately clear Monday morning if the closure would be reinstated again Monday night or if the work to reset the beams was complete.
Commuters should also be aware of road work that will close about five miles of the Pennsylvania Turnpike between Fairview Township and Lower Swatara Township later Monday night, according to PennDot's traffic alert website.
Construction will begin at 11 p.m. Monday and last until about 5 a.m. Tuesday and will close the turnpike between the Harrisburg West Exit 242 for I-83 in Fairview and Harrisburg East Exit 247 to I-283/Route 283 in Lower Swatara, according to PennDot.
Monday night's closure to the turnpike will not directly affect westbound traffic, but commuters should be prepared for delays.

Student Account Adjustment Appeal Request
Policy Statement:
Baltimore City Community College permits adjustment to a student's account in the form of a refund, based on the College's Withdrawal and refund Policy for Credit Courses. Additionally, a student's account may be adjusted due to extraordinary circumstances causing exceptions to the College's Withdrawal and Refund policy. An appeal request for exceptions due to extraordinary circumstances should be submitted immediately. No request will be considered more than one year beyond the semester in question. Forms may be obtained from the Student Accounting Office, Liberty Campus Main Building Room 027.
The college will refund a student's account in accordance with the established Withdrawal and Refund Policy for credit courses. Additionally, the following appeal process is recommended for implementation related to refunds or waivers due to extraordinary circumstances. The student will complete the "Student Accounting Adjustment Appeal Request Form" at the Student Accounting Office which requires the student to fully document the situation.
Outline and document new Student Appeal Process:
Student goes to Student Account, and completes the
Student Appeal form
(download to fill out): only for the last year. Any appeals older than 1 year will be handled on a case by case basis.
Students submit appeal form, and any documentation they have to a Student Accounting Clerk. The Student Accounting clerk prints the 315 screen for the semester or semesters in question, and the student's entire account.
The Student Accounting clerk submits the documentation to the Bursar.
The Bursar requests any documentation needed from Financial Aid, Records and Registration or the Admissions Office.
The Bursar reviews all documentation, and the Policy and Procedures (and other regulations applicable) and determines if there was a college error.
If the Bursar determines there was a college error, and the student is registered for classes (or needs to be reinstated into classes). The Bursar will forward the withdrawal form/reinstatement form to Records and Registration along with the documentation, and the necessary signatures.
Records and Registration will withdraw/reinstate the student.
Once Records and Registration has withdrawn/reinstated the student, the Bursar will have a Student Accounting Clerk adjust the student's account if applicable. The Student Accounting Clerk will also prepare a CCU adjustment if applicable.
The Bursar will send a letter to the student letting the student know the appeal was approved, and the adjustment was posted to their account. The documentation will also be included with letter.
If the Bursar determines the college did not make an error a letter will be sent to the student notifying them that their appeal was denied. The documentation will also be included with the letter.

ALBERTVILLE, AL. -- One person is dead after a chase with Albertville police.
Maj. Jamie Smith, assistant police chief in Albertville, said officers were called to a home around 9:30 p.m. Monday to respond of a domestic disturbance report.
When the officers arrived, a vehicle was attempting to leave the scene.
When the officers attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver refused to stop and a police pursuit ensued.
The pursuit came to an end on Walnut Street with shots being fired by police, leaving the fleeing driver dead.
The incident is under investigation by the Alabama Bureau of Investigation.
The officers involved were treated and released at a local hospital.
The name of the victim has not been released.

We demonstrate the possibility of using radio-frequency modulation spectroscopic techniques for interrogation of fiber Bragg-grating (FBG) structures. Sidebands at 2 GHz are superimposed onto the output spectrum of a 1560-nm DFB diode laser. The power reflected by an FBG is demodulated at multiples of the sideband frequency. The sideband-to-carrier beat signal is shown to be extremely sensitive to Bragg wavelength shifts due to mechanical stress. Using this method, both static and dynamic strain measurements can be performed, with a noise-equivalent sensitivity of the order of 150 nε/√Hz, in the quasi-static domain (2 Hz), and 1.6 nε/√Hz at higher frequencies (1 kHz). The measured frequency response is presently limited at 20 kHz only by the test device bandwidth. A long-term reproducibility in strain measurements within 100 nε is estimated from laser frequency drift referred to molecular absorption lines.

About $21-$30 per entree
Making dinner from a cocktail and a sampling of appetizers at a handful of restaurants as you wander the Pearl District makes for a fine evening plan. Add Kin to that agenda. This low-key Asian fusion spot's starters stand out more than its entrees do. Don't miss the pork-belly filled steamed buns, rich little mouthfuls that get the party off to a festive start. Best of all the smaller plates is the Chinese long bean with shrimp, chili, sesame, garlic, scallion, soy and sticky rice. It delivers enough spice to dampen your upper lip and keep your mouth happy long after the beans are gone.
Not to miss: Roasted true cod and grilled shrimp, squash, Chinese broccoli, tomato and herbs all bathing in a broth of coconut milk and yellow curry, $22, defines comfort, fusion style.
Bargains: Tartare of tuna with fresh pickles and won ton crisps isn't quite a smokin' deal at $12, but it's a light, fresh, flavor-packed starter, especially alongside a glass of crisp Patricia Green sauvignon blanc.

The following is speculation, so check a schematic before proceeding, but I'm pretty sure this is correct: If you want, you could unsolder the two yellow wires from the top end of the PTT switch, reconnect them, and insulate the connection from everything else. This would mean that the audio would be live at all times, and the mic would work with VOX. Disadvantages: If you drop the mic or play with it in your hand, you might trigger the VOX. And if you do digital modes via the audio input jack on the back, you'll have to disconnect the mic to avoid room noise mixing with your mark/space tones. --Peter (KD7MW) who plans to wire up his ICOM desk mic to his Omni 6, but has been too lazy to do it so far. . . :-) Peter A.

The opening day of the three day MotoGP test at Jerez, Spain was almost a washout with 2.5 cm of rain falling on the 4.423 km circuit throughout the day. The four Honda RC213V riders present for the test achieved little in either development terms or lap times.
The fastest of the four was Repsol Honda rider Dani Pedrosa who was second fastest man on the day his best time of 1m 48.474s was over 11 seconds slower than the circuit lap record he set in the 2010 grand prix at the circuit and 1.051s behind fastest man of today Jorge Lorenzo, Yamaha.
Pedrosa testing a range of wet weather set up options for the RC213V and was satisfied with the data gained and after just 30 laps and with two hours remaining called a halt to the opening session of the three day test.
Marc Marquez, Pedrosa's Repsol Honda team mate was third fastest a mere 0.050s further adrift of the best time of the day. The wet conditions worked to the benefit of MotoGP Rookie Marquez who has just four wet weather laps at the slippery Sepang circuit on the RC213V as a guideline. Reigning Moto2 World Champion Marquez has much to learn about racing in the senior grand prix category, particularly controlling the massive power output of the 1000cc Honda RC213V factory machine. He worked on experimenting with traction control on a wet surface and the effect of tyre degradation in wet track conditions.
LCR Honda rider Stefan Bradl ended the opening day in ninth place and relatively pleased with his days work having made progress on wet weather chassis settings. The young German ran a long simulation test but it lasted just 14 laps before a crash terminated the run. Stefan touched a lethally slippery white line triggering a long slide that ended with a crash in a gravel trap.
Alvaro Bautista, GO & FUN Honda Gresini, was 13th on his RC213V was disappointed at the end of the day spent trying to improve feeling from the RCV in wet conditions but tyre degradation was rapid and he was frustrated with the results.
Australian Bryan Staring, riding the Fun&Go Honda Gresini CRT machine was in 21st place but enjoyed a positive day. Staring is in the uneviable position of developing a new machine while testing at a track he has little experience of. On day one he improved his braking and general overall feeling with the new machine but needs dry track time to make really telling progress.

NEW YORK -- After three years and 37 consecutive starts Rutgers guard Kaleb Johnson hasn't decided if today's Pinstripe Bowl will be his last game as a collegian.
That's a decision the NFL Draft-eligible junior said he will make in the next week or so.
"I'm going to sit down with my mom and anybody I can talk to, with coach (Kyle) Flood, too, and to weigh my options and see what's out there for me," Johnson said following the Scarlet Knights' 29-16 loss to Notre Dame.
Asked to put a percentage on his decision to return, Johnson said "50-50 is safe to say."
Departing fourth-year junior wide receiver Brandon Coleman, meanwhile, said it really wasn't a big deal that he tied Tim Brown's career school record of 20 touchdown catches with one against the Irish.
Coleman, who declared his intentions to apply for the NFL Draft earlier in the week, said no one even acknowledged it on the sideline.
He stated two weeks ago the sophomore Leonte Carroo, who had nine touchdown catches this season "can have the record." Carroo, though, missed the final three games after suffering an apparent head injury from a hit against UCF that appeared to be a targeting penalty that went uncalled.
Coleman did say that this would be "an important off-season for Rutgers" before the school heads to the Big Ten next fall, adding that there were plenty of lessons to be learned from the disappointing 6-7 showing.

ALBANY, N.Y. — Robert Nunn can't talk about Jason Pierre-Paul's athletic ability without forming a smile — one he didn't even seem to realize the other day until it was brought to his attention.
At which point his lips curled up even more while thinking of the player with some of the best attributes he's ever seen.
"No question. Everything he showed when we watched him at South Florida, you see that show up a lot," the Giants' defensive line coach said of the team's No. 1 pick. "Outstanding talent."
And outstanding energy. Maybe too much, in fact.
Since arriving in the spring, the player whose long build, excellent instincts and supreme physical gifts trumped his lack of experience in the Giants' eyes has been relying upon his talents.
Two days into training camp, Pierre-Paul's energetic ways have continued. The former South Florida star who has only one year of major college football experience admits his mantra right now is "just go, just go to the play. If I make a mistake, I just run fast to the play."
Pierre-Paul's teammates and coaches admire the effort, which Monday included his nearly lifting an offensive lineman's jersey over his head during one pass rush. And no one seems to be wishing for the common opposite: great talent, even greater laziness.
It's just that they're trying to get Pierre-Paul to harness his energy and enthusiasm.
"He's spastic right now," fellow defensive end Justin Tuck said. "But that's because he's raw. He's just going out there trying to be fast, trying to show off his athletic ability, which there's nothing wrong with that.
"But when we get in the pads, when we get in an organized group with a lot of guys, you can get yourself hurt and get other people hurt. So we just try to teach him how to practice."
These are minor details for now. Tuck realizes getting Pierre-Paul to settle down is "the least of our worries when it comes to him."
But there's a danger to practicing and playing so recklessly — a mental risk of developing bad habits, according to Tuck, and also of freelancing instead of focusing on his responsibilities within the defense. These are the issues Nunn is hoping to avoid after seeing spurts of impressive performances from Pierre-Paul during the final two weeks of the offseason program.
"Sometimes he's got to concentrate his effort ... on what we're trying to get done as a group," Nunn said, adding: "You can't just go out there and be out of control. Be under control with that kind of effort because he does have a big motor."
Pierre-Paul says he's advanced mentally, citing an adjustment to his three-point stance as evidence he can accept instruction.
Having played in an "under" defense (defensive end inside the tight end) at South Florida, he always put his right hand on the ground. But in new Giants coordinator Perry Fewell's scheme, Pierre-Paul said there will be plenty of "over" fronts (defensive end shaded outside tight end). So when the ends line up on the left side, the coaches prefer their left hand to be in the dirt to help maintain outside leverage.
"I had to change it quick," Pierre-Paul said. "But I got it down pat."
Adjustments like that for a raw player are the reason Pierre-Paul wanted to be signed and in camp on time. Such commitment, combined with great effort, has the Giants hopeful he can contribute this season.
"The talent is there," Tuck said. "It all depends on how great he wants to be."

The Oscars 2014 fashion was all about light, white and pastels as the best dressed went for elegant and even a little daring.
As for the worst dressed on Sunday night's Academy Awards show, well, there really wasn't a theme or trend. It was just all bad.
Overall, there were more good looks than bad ones, but nothing that really jumped out such as Angelina Jolie's right leg.
Now, let's get to some of the Best and Worst dressed.
Lupita Nyong'o: Hollywood has a new fashion darling, and once again she pulled it off on the biggest awards show on the season, wearing a powder blue Prada dress that was flowing and exquisite.
Naomi Watts: She looked stunning in a white, floor-length and sequined Calvin Klein dress.
Kate Hudson: Don't let the plunging neckline fool you, this Versace gown has great detail. Hudson never looked better.
Cate Blanchett: The glittery, beige Giorgio Armani gown just grew on me as the night progressed.
Jennifer Lawrence: The red Dior Couture gown fit perfectly; plus, we loved Lawrence's high-cropped hairdo.
Anna Kendrick: It was too messy; it almost made her appear disheveled.
Bette Midler: It's so hard for anyone to pull off a red floral dress on such a high-fashion night.
Jada Pinkett Smith: Wearing a pink Versace dress with a mid-thigh slit, Mrs. Smith looked great. But I have a hard time seeing her in pink.
Chrissy Teigen: Maybe we're so used to seeing her in a bikini on Sports Illustrated, but her strapless Monique Lhuillier gown seemed to be splashed in pink.

Does moderate drinking help prevent Alzheimer's disease? A recent review of research regarding alcohol consumption and dementia indicates that drinking moderate amounts of alcohol, especially wine, may lower the risk of dementia. The review of 143 studies demonstrated that individuals who drank moderately were in fact 23% less likely to develop dementia, including Alzheimer's disease and other forms of cognitive impairment; wine may be slightly more beneficial than beer. On the other hand, heavy drinking, which constitutes more than three to five drinks per day, was found to be associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment and dementia. Although there are several reports of the beneficial effects of alcohol, Sam Gandy, M.D., Ph.D, associate director of the ADRC, cautions against individuals using alcohol as an approach to prevent cognitive decline, as there have been no clinical trials examining the relationship between moderate alcohol consumption and cognitive health.
Doctors Debate Effectiveness of Alzheimer's "Milkshake". Axona is a controversial new alternative treatment for Alzheimer's disease. Axona is considered to be "medical food," not a drug, that supplies the brain with fats and ketones, which are to be used as fuel. Although some people are hopeful about alternative treatments, such as Axona, many researchers, including Sam Gandy, M.D., Ph.D, are less optimistic about these products. "It's fairly outrageous that little can be done to impede the exploitative marketing of unproven and unlikely substances to vulnerable Alzheimer's patients and their desperate caregivers," says Dr. Gandy. A major concern among critics is the lack of data showing that the "medical food" is beneficial.

Wow! Sounds great!
This was so easy and delicious I thought others here might enjoy it as well. Original recipe is at the link:
Following is my slightly modified and primalized version: (the vegetable oil has been substituted with coconut oil, and I skipped the sugar and snow peas entirely).
1 Tbsp. coconut oil
1 tsp. green curry paste
1 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger
One (400 mL) can coconut milk
1 cup fish (or chicken) stock
2 Tbsp. fish sauce (Anchovy paste works in a pinch)
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
1 lb. cod, cut into 2-inch chunks
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
salt and ground pepper
2 Tbsp. chopped coriander
1. Heat oil on med-high; stir in curry paste and ginger. Sauté 1 minute; pour in coconut milk and bring to boil. Stir and boil until reduced by half, about 5 to 7 min. Add stock, fish sauce, lime juice.
2. Reduce heat to simmer and add cod. Poach for 3 to 4 min. or until cod is just cooked. Place cod in 4 soup bowls and keep warm.
3. Bring liquid to boil and boil for 2 min. Add carrots and basil and cook another 1 min. Add salt, pepper and more lime if needed. Pour sauce on cod and garnish with coriander.
Serves 4.
Wow! Sounds great!
Yum thank you for sharing! this is sitting in my oven, I was looking for something primal friendly to do with cod. The sauce is amazing, I threw in some bok choi since I had it, nice to add some green stuff in there! I served it with some sweet sliced radishes in a sesame mustard sauce.

SAGINAW, MI — The Michigan Democratic Party's executive committee has joined the list of those asking a Buena Vista Township official to resign for her use of racial slur to describe another official during a recorded phone call.
The five-person executive committee of the MDP, in a unanimous vote Wednesday, May 1, formally requested the resignation of Buena Vista Township Clerk Gloria Platko for her racially insensitive and offensive statements regarding the township supervisor. Her comments have no place in our party or otherwise, a press release said.
MDP joins a list of others, including the Saginaw branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Saginaw councilman Norman Braddock, five members of the Buena Vista Township board and several township residents.
During the April 22, Buena Vista Board of Trustees meeting, Interim Township Manager Dexter Mitchell played a recording of a telephone conversation in which Platko can be heard, close to the six-minute mark, using the N-word to describe Township Supervisor Dwayne Parker.
After playing the audio recording, Mitchell called for the resignation of Platko.
Platko refused to step down and later tried to justify her comments saying, "They're trying to make it sound like a racial thing. It's not a race thing," Platko said. "This was a private phone call that he recorded. This was directed toward one person. This was not directed toward a race or a group of people."
Platko later apologized with a letter sent to MLive. Veiw Platko's apology here.
Platko was absent from a special meeting April 30, which included public comment, as well as a vote on a resolution calling for Platko to resign from her position as township clerk.
While some residents at the meeting condemned Platko's use of the N-word, other residents came forward to support their township clerk.
A woman, identifying herself as a Buena Vista Township resident of over 55 years, by the name of Marjorie Williams, said she believes the issue is about more than the word used by Platko.
"I don't believe Gloria is a racist," Williams said, calling the use of the N-word by Platko "unfortunate.
"She will never be able to live this down," Williams said of Platko.
Platko, who was elected in November 2012, has said in past interviews that she apologizes for use of the slur but does not intend to step down.
But, for township residents considering a recall effort, a petition to place the issue on a ballot could not be submitted for another eight months, thanks to a recent change to Michigan law.

Benlawers built in 1970 by Upper Clyde Shipbuilders Scotstoun yard No.514 Can anyone tell me about the main engine. I know from the Clydebuilt database that it was a 9 cylinder 2SCSA Sulzer diesel engine developing 26,100bhp. What I would like to know is the bore and stroke dimensions and who manufactured the engine, was it manufactured, tested and installed by Barclay Curle's North British Engine Works or was it imported from elsewhere. From the bhp rating I think the bore must have been larger than 900mm.
Do any Benlawers ex-engineers out there know?
Thanks, Joe)
