Last rites
March 19, 2014 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — While winter seeks to hold on tenaciously, even forcing postponements of sports awards nights at Sullivan West and Tri-Valley, the lengthening days and the sounds of athletes already engaged in spring sports practice (albeit indoors) augur the last rites of the year's longest season. With the conclusion of the state Final Four boys and girls basketball championships in Troy and Glens Falls respectively, one can for all intents and purposes declare winter over. For the Eldred Lady Yellow Jackets (8-11) that closure came with a 63-31 loss to Section V's Romulus, which went on to win the state title with a 47-40 win over Section II's Fort Edward. For Eldred, a team whose last trip to the Final Four in 1988 resulted in a state crown behind the stellar play of Tammi Reiss, the journey was exciting and hopefully a harbinger of things to come, as the young Lady Yellow Jackets hope to marshal the lessons learned from playing such a dominant team toward gearing themselves up for title runs over the next couple of years.

Knicks hold off Bucks in season opener
New York wins sixth straight against Milwaukee
Carmelo Anthony had 19 points and 10 rebounds, making a pair of baskets in a finishing run after New York had blown a 25-point lead, and the Knicks beat the Milwaukee Bucks 90-83 on Wednesday night in the season opener for both teams.
Seemingly coasting to a second straight opening-night blowout, the Knicks instead were behind with under 3 minutes remaining before Tyson Chandler's follow dunk and two straight baskets by Anthony put them back ahead by five.
Chandler added another basket in the Knicks' 10-2 run to close out their sixth straight victory over the Bucks.
Raymond Felton added 18 points and Iman Shumpert had 16 for the Knicks, who shot 51 percent but committed 22 turnovers.
Gary Neal scored 16 points and fellow newcomer Caron Butler had 14 for the Bucks, who opened on the road for the 29th consecutive year.

According to Ben Brogan and James Forsyth, Tory MPs are sniping at Michael Gove.
Forsyth puts it in the context of the succession to Cameron - as if Osborne had the ghost of a chance of being an effective and popular leader. (He has as much chance of that as Theresa May - that is, none. Any Tory who disagrees should get out more.) Gove, it is said, would support Osborne, even though that would be (in his word) bonkeroony. So Boris's acolytes are sniping at him.
Brogan has it that Gove has done all he can do at Education and needs a fresh challenge. This too is bonkers.
At a recent performance by the clever Fascinating Aida, one of the songs to get the most enthusiastic applause was a long and witless diatribe attacking education reform and even Ofsted. Its theme was that teachers were doing fine, thank you, and government should get off their backs. The audience loved it.
Remember a Question Time last year when a school student said some of his teachers had been more interested in their pay cheques than their subjects? The audience gasp could not have been louder if he had uttered an awful swear word. The panel were dumbstruck.
So Gove's job at education is not done. The structure of the changes may be clear. But seemingly the public remains to be convinced that change is necessary. And you can't do that without attacking the recent record of the teaching profession.
Gove has been reluctant to do this, and no one has been licensed to take on this task of persuasion. The case is clear. But without anyone putting that case clearly and repeatedly, why would the country embrace change (apart from those who have seen it in their own neighbourhoods)?
This critical task remains to be tackled. Until it is tackled, and tackled successfully, Gove's work is not done and his reforms will be at risk under a government beholden to the NUT.

Mill Valley Historical Society First Wednesdays
Wednesday, February 6, 2013 - 7:30 pm (Free) Creekside Room, Mill Valley Public Library375 Throckmorton Avenue, Mill Valley On Wednesday, February 6th, join guest speaker Bob Flasher as he looks back on the colorful time of Mill Valley and Muir Woods ...the 60s and 70s and the life of those wild flower children of our hippie culture.
The title of Bob's talk is "Beat Poets, Drugs, and Zen at Druid Heights." What is Druid Heights? Where is Druid Heights? Come and discover the answer to these questions and more. Bob will explore the dynamic countercultural period in our county's history by appreciating the creativity arising from Druid Heights, an isolated "unintentional community"--the home of redwood hot tubs, Zen Buddhism in the west, inspiration for beat poetry, incredibly wild behavior, and anti-discrimination lawsuits.
Bob Flasher is the former Community Programs Manager at Redwood Creek Restoration for the Golden Gate National Park Conservancy.
The talk begins at 7:30 sharp in the Creekside Room of the Mill Valley Public Library.

Good afternoon.
This message brings the good news that GSA payments are expected to be released this month. We also begin to look ahead to the next school year with an announcement of the agenda for the September Superintendents' Regional Conference.
Note: Last week an item explained the change in deadlines for teachers seeking national certification. The direct link for the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) is http://www.isbe.net/profprep/nbpts.htm.
June Meeting of the State Board of Education
The regular monthly meeting of the State Board will be
July GSA Payments Accelerated and Vouchered
Due to the Governor's advancing both July GSA payments into June, the Illinois State Board of Education has been able to accelerate the final two FY03 General State Aid payments (23rd and 24th payments). Moreover, due to the Governor's signing the FY03 supplemental appropriation this week, all districts will receive the full amount of their FY03 GSA entitlement. The State Comptroller is expected to release these final two payments on or before June 30.
Superintendents' Regional Conferences – September 2003
The State Superintendents' Conference this year will be
offered at six regional meetings. We worked together with IASA to work out a
choice of dates and locations that would provide both convenience and
cost-savings. These regional meetings will replace the traditional multiday
conference in
Dates and Locations:
September 3
September 4 Matteson
September 9
September 15
September 22
September 23
District superintendents, regional superintendents, association leaders, and others will receive a mailing in July with specific registration and conference site information.
The proposed agenda for these meetings is appended to this message. We selected the topics for their high degree of relevancy to the current challenges facing school districts and their leaders throughout the state.
New Superintendents' Meeting
The annual New Superintendents' Meeting, cosponsored by
the IASA and ISBE, will be held at the State Board office in

Proposed Conference Agenda for Superintendents' Regional Conferences
September 2003
Breakout Session I (see descriptions below)
Breakout Session II (see descriptions below)
Five breakout sessions: participants may attend 2 of the 5:
Accountability: Keeping Our Heads While Those About Us Are Losing Theirs
Learn the facts and fallacies about the newly adopted legislation for testing and accountability that aligns Illinois law with No Child Left Behind; walk through how adequate yearly progress (AYP) is determined and how to project progress for your schools; view the new e-Report Cards and the Illinois Interactive Report Card Web site; review the new "assessment frameworks" that will guide test development for the next five years.
Offered in breakout sessions I & II
School Improvement: Using What We Know to Improve Performance
Focus on four components of school improvement, highlighting strategies that really work: data analysis that drives targeted improvement plans; classroom curriculum, instruction and assessment aligned with the Learning Standards; teacher and administrator enhancement; and support services for students, families and communities.
Offered in breakout sessions I & II
Finance and Funding: Gearing Up for the Real Reform We Need
Understand the new state financial profiles—what they are and are not; preview proposed legislation to assist districts in significant financial difficulty; review the status of the state education budget; discuss "life after EFAB," potential funding recommendations and next steps; review options for legislative and public support strategies.
Offered in breakout sessions I & II
P-Card: Adding Efficiency and Accountability to the Purchasing Process
With the Procurement Card, school leaders are able to increase the efficiency of the purchasing process while improving on accountability. This session will explain in detail the new P-Card program, provided through the sponsorship of the IASA/IASB/IASBO, which has a proven record of streamlining the P.O. process, saving time and money while improving control over expenditures.
Offered in Breakout Session I
Financial Projections: Looking Five Years Out
A critical part of local school management is making timely and accurate financial projections. The ISDLAF+ sponsored by the IASA/IASB/IASBO has a relationship with PMA for fund management and advisement. A new PMA service allows for such projections. This session will provide you with a close look at the system.
Offered in breakout session II
Introductions and Keynote Address by Dr. Robert E. Schiller, State Superintendent of Education
Open Q&A Session with the State Superintendent and Cabinet-Level ISBE Staff.

Danica @ SHR - 2013
[+] Enlarge
HHP Images
Danica Patrick, seen at Daytona earlier this year, plans to drive in NASCAR's Nationwide series full-time in 2012, according to sources.
Although her contracts are still being finalized, Patrick -- who has raced in both the IndyCar Series and the Nationwide series this season and last season -- will drive the No. 7 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet for the entire 2012 Nationwide Series schedule for JR Motorsports, sources said.
She also plans to enter select Sprint Cup races next season in cars prepared by Stewart-Haas Racing, with the intent to move to Sprint Cup full-time in a multiyear deal with Stewart-Haas in 2013, sources said.
Patrick is expected to make the announcement in Phoenix, where GoDaddy.com is headquartered, in a news conference currently being arranged, according to sources.
JR Motorsports representatives said Wednesday they have "nothing new to report."
"Tony Stewart has always said he'd love to have her, but we're a long ways from being at that point," Stewart-Haas spokesman Mike Arning said Wednesday. "From a Stewart-Haas Racing standpoint, things aren't there yet."
It is unknown at this time how this may affect Patrick's ability to compete in the 2012 Indianapolis 500, sources said.
Patrick has raced full-time in the IndyCar Series since 2005. She became the first woman to win a major open-wheel racing event when she went to Victory Lane in Motegi, Japan, in 2008.
Her success in IndyCar has made her a national celebrity and one of the most recognizable sports figures in America.

Just wanted to share something awesome my DH said to me the other night. I was feeding DS (3.5 months) on the couch and DH was sitting in the nearby chair just relaxing. He looked at us and said, "isn't it amazing that you're actually keeping him alive SOLELY with the milk your body is producing? And not just keeping him alive...look at these pudgy thighs!!"
I had to admit, it's a pretty heady thought to realize your baby is alive and thriving just off your own body!

- How To Treat Lump Jaw Disease In Cattle
- Bony Lump Jaw
There are two kinds of lump jaw; each is caused by two different types of bacteria and require different treatment. Here are tips to prevent and treat the cattle disease.
More About:
Bacteria are often present in the mouth of cattle. As a result, anything puncturing the mouth tissue can open the way for infection, which can lead to "lump jaw."
According to Salmon, ID, veterinarian Robert Cope, there are two kinds of lump jaw. Each is caused by two different types of bacteria and require different treatment.
The most common are soft tissue infections that are relatively easy to treat. Sometimes, these abscesses break and drain on their own. Usually, however, they must be lanced, drained and disinfected before they'll heal properly.
Another type of lump jaw is caused by infection in the bone, and it's difficult to halt, Cope says. Usually, it results in having to sell or butcher the animal.
Bony lump jaw tends to occur in two- to three-year-old cattle, says Pete South, a retired veterinarian and professor at University of Idaho.
A Common Beginning
Both forms of lump jaw actually begin in the same manner, says Cope. A break in the tissue surface allows bacteria to enter - which can happen if a cow eats or chews on a sharp stick or even a pointed blade of stiff grass. A sharp seed may poke into the side of the mouth. Ulcers caused by BVD virus can open the way for bacteria, which can then enter from feed or soil.
Ingesting dirt can also play a part, introducing certain bacteria that can begin an infection if there's a break in the tissues.
The soft tissue variety
The most common form of lump jaw is caused by Actinobacillus bacteria. It occurs in the soft tissues, forming an abscess, often along the lower jaw.
"Actinobacillus is a gram-negative bacteria routinely present in soil," says Cope. "Once the bacteria enter the mouth tissues they immediately begin to grow and stimulate an inflammatory response from the cow, resulting in formation of an abscess."
Treating with an injectable antibiotic generally isn't useful, Cope says. The abscess is a pocket of infection surrounded by a relatively thick wall of connective tissue. This wall prevents the infection from spreading through the body, but also keeps antibiotics in the blood stream from reaching the infective organism.

The best treatment is to lance the abscess and flush it out with strong (7%) iodine, he says. One or two treatments will usually suffice to cure the problem. He recommends waiting until the infection comes to a head with a soft spot in the lump. If you lance it too early, it will not yet have formed a drainable pus pocket.
The lump may be either hard or soft, but moves if pressed firmly with your hand, he says. It's not attached to the bone. Inserting a needle (16 ga. or larger) into the lump is another diagnostic check. If it's an abscess, pus will come out the needle or be present in the needle when you remove it.
If pus is present, lance the abscess at its lowest point (with scalpel or sharp knife) to allow drainage. After squeezing out the pus, flush the abscess with tincture of iodine (7% solution) to remove the rest.
This type of abscess usually heals quickly once it's opened and drained, unless the drain hole seals over before all infection is out. Then, it must be opened and flushed again.

I have posted recently that DD (8.5mos) has really cut back on her daytime nursing. M-F she gets 3 bottles plus breakfast and lunch at DCP. Evenings and weekends I will nurse on demand. For the past few weeks she's only been interested in the bedtime and middle of the night (or 2) nursing sessions. Sometimes I can get in a good a.m. session when she wakes up in the morning if it is still quiet and dark and she hasn't fully waken. But, if she's really awake, forget it. And all the daytime sessions on the weekend are a huge struggle. Thing is, I know she'd take a bottle if it was offered to her, so I know it is not an issue of having too many solids or teething. She simply doesn't want the boob. Yesterday, for example, I had to work a special event at my job and was gone for about 7 hrs. DH gave her a bottle while I was gone. When I got home she had woken from a nap and DH had a bottle warmed and ready to go. She made a huge fuss when she watched DH take the bottle to the sink (he hadn't given it to her yet, but she could see it on the table) and when I tried to nurse her she refused. And yet it had been like 3 or 4 hrs since lunch and I knew she had to be hungry/thirsty. I'm at a loss for what to do. I've tried different positions, different rooms. Nothing seems to work. If she's on my lap she would rather sit up and slap her hands on the chair arms. If we lie down on the bed she'd rather just crawl around. I hate feeling rejected like this and I hate being worried about whether she's getting enough fluids. The weekdays are so much easier because I know she'll take the bottles at DCP. The weekends are just sooooo difficult. If she were a year old (or closing in on it) I wouldn't worry so much, but we've still got 3 months to go and I really want to maintain a good nursing relationship. I would prefer to nurse on weekends and not pump since I'm already pumping 3x's a day during the week and it would break my heart to pump at home while watching her take a bottle. I'm grateful that the bedtime and nighttime sessions go so well. I just wish we could get back to a few good daytime sessions.
Thanks for reading my vent. I'd welcome any advice.

In my ongoing personal effort to not just blow by the Day of Prayer and Fasting for the millions affected by the global food crisis and get on with life, I have committed to doing a few things that maybe some of you would like to try too!
- First of all, I have been trying to remember to pray at each meal for those who are hungry. I thank God for what He has provided for me, and then I acknowledge that there are many who will not eat a meal today, or will not eat enough to fill them. I ask God to tenderly care for them in whatever way He chooses to do that –- even if that means leading me to do something for one or more of them (like specifically my sponsored children –- perhaps sending them a monetary family gift to help with their expenses).
- Secondly, I have been trying to get rid of phrases from my vocabulary that are just not true. For example, I came home from work yesterday, and I was hungry. I had eaten a bagel with peanut butter for lunch, but it truly didn't stick with me, and by 6:30 PM I was ready for dinner. I even had a headache. I walked into the house and started to say to my husband, "I'm starving!" This is a typical thing that I say every time I am really hungry. But it's just not true –- obviously, not even close to being true. And it shows my disrespect or lack of appreciation of what it means to starve, truly starve.
- Another phrase I am trying to get rid of is "There is nothing to eat in this house!" I think we all say that when we don't like or don't feel like eating what is in our refrigerators, cupboards, and canisters. Other than when I have moved into a new place and haven't yet unpacked the moving boxes, I don't think I have even had a moment in any house I have lived in where there is truly nothing at all to eat. When I look in the cupboards and feel tempted to complain, I am trying to instead utter a quick word of thanksgiving for what God has graciously provided for me.
- Finally, I am trying to gather together with others on a regular basis to pray for those who are hungry, and to help keep the awareness of this issue in front of my neighbors and friends. It is easy for all of us to get on with our lives and forget this silent tsunami. I want to help keep it in the forefront of people's minds and hearts so they can be open to acting as God leads them.
On the Day of Fasting and Prayer for the Global Food Crisis, I ended my day with a gathering at my house after work. I had announced an open invitation the previous Sunday at my church, inviting anyone who wanted to come. I emailed friends, co-workers, and neighbors about it. Thirteen people showed up.
We prayed from 6:00 to 7:00 PM, and then we broke our 24-hour fast with a simple meal of rice and beans, water and unsweetened iced tea. No dessert, no fancy beverages. No veggies or meat in the rice. We had seasoned salt and a can of Creole seasoning though, and most of us used a lot of that!
The evening was a powerful time of prayer and a wonderful time of community. It had the feel of doing something important, something meaningful. Even though it was really very, very simple.
One lady brought her two sons, ages 5 and 7. She had prepared them for the day through a great learning experience that I am sure they will long remember. She took them to Denver the previous day for a typical summer, American kid fun day out. They ate lunch at a fast food restaurant, they got ice cream, they went to the museum, they played in a park. But there was a catch. They kept a log of what they ate and how much they spent.
The next morning, the day of prayer, they watched an online movie produced by the Washington Post (Becky wrote about this and linked to the video two weeks ago) about two families in Mauritania and what they had to do to provide food for their families given the current increase in prices. In the movie, the mother made rice pudding for her family — rice, with sugar and some oil and water. That was what they had to eat. That was all.
So, my friend Lisa made rice pudding with her boys according to the recipe used by the lady in Mauritania. They each ate a half cup of it for breakfast, a half cup for lunch and then came to my house for rice and beans for dinner. Afterward, Lisa took time to talk through with her boys about how they felt. She helped them consider the differences in the quantity and variety of foods they ate on Tuesday in Denver when they ate like "normal Americans" and then on Wednesday as they ate like a lot of the rest of the world. They discussed the amount spent and how much less the large amount they spent on Tuesday was for their family's income versus how much the small amount spent on Wednesday would have been for the family in Mauritania.
Perhaps you will want to try this or something similar with your children or your niece or next door neighbor's child (assuming their parents approve!) Children can be taught at an early age to be compassionate and caring for those in need. Lessons like this one can set a firm foundation upon which a life of reaching out and being sensitive and responsive to the needs of others can be built.
As soon as I finish this post, I am going to send out an e-mail to my friends, neighbors and church family to report on our day of prayer gathering and to ask folks to do it again next week.
- I hope others come.
- I hope we get repeat participants.
- I hope we get too big to fit in my house and have to spill out onto my deck!
- I hope some more little kids come so their parents can help form their little hearts to love like Jesus loves!
Stay posted and I'll let you know how it goes. Or better yet, try your own event and let us know how yours went!


text: DS is 27 months- still nurses in the AM, after work, before bed and through the night. I'd like to cut down on the night time nursing but nursing to sleep is our reliable standby. He doesn't ALWAYS nurse to sleep ...maybe 60% of the time... but I don't want to confuse him. I'm familiar with the Jay Gordon method and will try it (probably after some allergy testing we have scheduled in a few weeks). In the meantime, I want to hear from some mommies who don't nurse all night but still nurse to sleep. Is it possible?

- Abstract
- The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) is designed to measure redshifts for approximately 250 000 galaxies. This paper describes the survey design, the spectroscopic observations, the redshift measurements and the survey data base. The 2dFGRS uses the 2dF multifibre spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope, which is capable of observing 400 objects simultaneously over a 2° diameter field. The source catalogue for the survey is a revised and extended version of the APM galaxy catalogue, and the targets are galaxies with extinction-corrected magnitudes brighter than bJ = 19.45. The main survey regions are two declination strips, one in the southern Galactic hemisphere spanning 8O° × 15° around the SGP, and the other in the northern Galactic hemisphere spanning 75° × 10° along the celestial equator; in addition, there are 99 fields spread over the southern Galactic cap. The survey covers 2000 deg2 and has a median depth of z- = 0.11. Adaptive tiling is used to give a highly uniform sampling rate of 93 per cent over the whole survey region. Redshifts are measured from spectra covering 3600-8000 Å at a two-pixel resolution of 9.0 Å and a median S/N of 13 pixel-1. All redshift identifications are visually checked and assigned a quality parameter Q in the range 1-5; Q ≥ 3 redshifts are 98.4 per cent reliable and have an rms uncertainty of 85 km s-1. The overall redshift completeness for Q ≥ 3 redshifts is 91.8 per cent, but this varies with magnitude from 99 per cent for the brightest galaxies to 90 per cent for objects at the survey limit.

Sony has announced the PlayStation Network has begun restoration today. The PSN will be restored in a series of phases with phase one restoring access to the PSN, online gaming for the PS3 and PSP, access to Netflix, Hulu, MLB.com and PlayStation Home. The remaining features, such as the ability to make purchases from the PSN Store will return soon. Below is a video of Sony's Executive Deputy President, Kazuo Hirai, making the official announcement.
NEWS: G4's Coverage Of The PSN Outage
Keep reading for details about changes Sony has made as well the changes gamers must make.
Sony Online Entertainment have been working on making the following security updates to ensure the safety of their users' data. These updates took time and Sony did not want to relaunch the PSN, or their other online services, until they had been properly implemented and tested.
- Made enhancements to overall data security
- Updating and adding advanced security technologies
- Additional software monitoring
- Performing new penetration and vulnerability testing
- Increased levels of encryption
Gamers will have to make security changes as well. A PS3 system software update will prompt players to change their password. This is mandatory. You can only change your password from the PS3 console you made the account from. If you no longer have the PS3 you will be able to change it through emails, although it is not clear what the validation process entails. This software update is active now.
NEWS: Amazon Server Involved In Sony PSN Network Outage
According the PSBlog it will take a while for the update to become active across the county, and the world. Sony has posted a map showing which states have had access restored. They estimate it will take several hours for the entire country to be updated. Sony encourages users to download the software update in the mean time. We all know how long those take. I'm sorry, it was too soon for that.
Now go, download the update and be merry! Hopefully the massive amount of gamers rushing to their PS3s right now (myself included) won't cause any hiccups in the restoration process.

Interesting Pointers About Buying Used Motorcycles
November 15, 2014 By Marin
There are all kinds of amazing used motorcycles for you to explore and utilize these days. These include some rather strong vehicles that feature a mix of high-performance vehicles and ones that focus on hybrid engines among many others. Many of these different motorcycles can be found on the used market right now.
It should technically be rather easy for you to find some used motorcycles in some spots. However, you must be careful when buying any of these vehicles. There are a few special pointers that are worth exploring when you are trying to get a quality used vehicle for your requirements.
Is Certification Needed?
Sometimes it is best for you to look for something that is certified to ensure that you've got something that is going to be guaranteed to work. However, you should not be all that afraid if your bike is not certified. In many cases a motorcycle on the market might be only a few years old and was not used all that often by its original owner. In this instance, certification may not actually be necessary.
In addition, if a bike is certified then it means that an insurance company may endorse the bike. This will force you into paying a brand new charge that could add and unnecessary charge to your bike.
Look At the Service Department
The service department at the place you are buying a used bike from can say quite a bit about whatever you are interested in. You need to think carefully about the service department to see if it is one that will provide you with more services for taking care of the many requirements that you have if you're going to really have more fun while you are on the road.
Watch For the Program
Many used bike dealers will offer a variety of fine used vehicle programs that will provide you with some interesting solutions that could help you out quite a bit. However, you might want to think about the bike itself and no so much about the program that you could enter into. Focus more on the motorcycle and if it fits in well with your needs at large before you choose an option that can fit in with your demands
Check the Overall Value
You should look at the professional valuation totals for motorcycles of interest to you and compare those values with the totals that you are being charged. The Kelley Blue Book program has motorcycle values just like what it has for traditional cars, thus providing you with access to more details on your bike's values as needed. This could really give you a little more out of anything that you are interested in.
Remember, you need to be certain that you know what you're going to get out of a used motorcycle. Be careful when finding a quality model so you will get something that you know will be rather easy to utilize and work with as necessary so there will not be any problems over whatever it is you want to use while you are trying to head out onto the road.

Justin Brierley and Primer Christian Radio is hosting an apologetics conference this year in partnership with Hugh Ross and Ken Samples with Reasons to Believe. The theme of the conference is 'Giving a Skeptical World Reasons to Believe.' For all my UK brothers and skeptic friends, I hope that you're able to make it to the conference. For those of us across the pond it's very likely that we won't be able to make it. There are DVD's that are made afterwards, which are available for purchase. This is excellent material to help equip you to understand and respond to questions about the faith. A few of the speakers include Hugh Ross, Ken Samples, Michael Green, John Lennox, Krish Kandiah, Bonnie Yule-Kuehne, and more. What's very important is that you absorb this material yourself. I remember hearing Dan Wallace say that the road to hell is lined with the bones of apostate apologists. This knowledge will be edifying for the saints. Use it. Know it. Share it. Please pray for the speakers and for minds to be opened, that fruit will blossom, and that people may be saved as a result of this knowledge.
Unbelievable? The Conference 2102 Giving a Skeptical World Reasons to Believe
Saturday 26 May beginning at 9.30 AM

- Abstract
- X-ray structural studies revealed two conformations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ectodomain (ECD): a compact, tethered conformation in the absence of EGF and an untethered or extended conformation in the presence of EGF. An EGFR-ECD derivative with a monomeric red fluorescent protein (mRFP) at the N-terminus and an enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) at the C-terminus (dual-tag-EGFR-ECD) was created and characterized. The dual-tag-EGFR-ECD construct was shown to have high affinity (nanomolar range) for both EGF and EGFR monoclonal antibody (mAb528). The dual-tag-EGFR-ECD was further characterized by fluorescence-detected analytical ultracentrifugation, lifetime FRET, and fluorescence anisotropy. We found no evidence of a tethered unliganded conformation, nor did we observe a large shape change upon ligand binding as predicted by the crystal models. Increases in steady-state anisotropy upon binding of EGF to the dual-tag-EGFR-ECD were observed and interpreted as changes in the protein flexibility and dynamics. We conclude the fluorescent protein tags perturb the EGFR-ECD structure, making it extended with a 50-fold higher affinity for EGF relative to that of the nontagged EGFR-ECD.

Congregation Beth Tikvah
There are many reasons why Congregation Beth Tikvah is so special. Jewish traditions are celebrated in a family-like atmosphere in our progressive Conservative synagogue. 200 families in our community means most are on a first name basis with one another. Simchas (special events in congregants' lives) are given individual importance, but shared with the Congregation Beth Tikvah family. For example, each child becomes a Bar/Bat Mitzvah (an adult in the eyes of the Jewish community) on his/her own special day amidst the loving support of the congregation.
We are committed to making our tradition accessible to all who participate in our growing community. Accommodations are made for both young and old alike. Affiliated with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, Congregation Beth Tikvah is fully committed to the total equality of men and women in all areas of Judaism. Worth mentioning is our Interfaith Family and Friends Group whose purpose is to make those of interfaith marriage feel welcome here. All types of individuals and families wishing to participate in Conservative Judaism are warmly received at Congregation Beth Tikvah. The choice about which synagogue to join is not an easy one, but it is immediately apparent how warm and approachable the congregants, staff, and clergy are at Congregation Beth Tikvah.
In a world where everything is always changing, there is continuity at CBT. We've had the same rabbi and cantor for decades. Our current president and former presidents have been active members for just as long.
For a small synagogue, we have one eye on a variety of activities for our members and another on involvement in the greater Jewish community.

Thief steals Minnesota car while owner lets it warm up
Authorities in Todd County say a thief stole a car while the owner was letting it warm up.
A St. Cloud Times report says the vehicle was found about 20 minutes later. It had been involved in a single-vehicle rollover, and the driver wasn't around.
Deputies say the vehicle's owner told police he started his car Saturday afternoon and was letting it get warm. He says someone stole the car while it was idling.
A short time later the sheriff's office received a call reporting a one-vehicle rollover accident. The caller said there was no one at the scene of the crash. Deputies say the car was the stolen vehicle.
The sheriff's office is looking for suspects.

The 7 Day Challenge with the Paul McKenna's book Change Your Life In 7 Days has been really interesting. I've done the first few days and also been doing the subconscious reprogramming CD that comes with the book.
Part of the program is to sit and figure out exactly what it is you want to achieve. All my life I've meditated and somewhere along the line I've combined Creative Visualization with Guided Meditations to create what I refer to as Visualized Meditations.
I've written a lot on the subject, but for some reason never felt comfortable actually stepping out in public with it. Especially in consideration of posting on my orble blogs about my ebooks or Angel readings or anything like that.
I don't know if it's the subconscious reprogramming CD, the book, the fact I'm watching a lot of inspirational videos etc, but over the last couple of days I've had an overwhelming urge to "fiddle" with my website.
Over the weekend I was talking to a friend of mine about my ebook 5 Minute Meditations: Meditations for Busy People and how I'd shown it to another friend who seemed to really love it. Kirsty told me that the cover on it sucked lol, which is true. I might be a writer but I'm not a photographer. I didn't want to ask anyone for help because it seemed like such a lot of work and I couldn't afford to pay, but while we were on the phone she made me a new cover for both 5 Minute Meditations and a book I wrote years ago about Saving Money and Clearing Credit Card Debt.
When I got the new covers, I got totally inspired to completely revamp the website. I wanted to show whoever is interested in having a look my new and improved website
I would love your feedback on the site and I only the beautiful cover designed by Kirstina Stranger.
I guess this is really a shameless self promotion but I guess that's ok.

Integrative Medicine: "Patient-Centered Care" is the new Medical Paternalism
Integrative Pitchmen
Several of us have written about how contemporary quacks have artfully pitched their wares to a higherbrow market than their predecessors were accustomed to, back in the day. Through clever packaging,* quacks today can reasonably hope to become professors at prestigious medical schools, to control and receive substantial grant money from the NIH, to preside over reviews for the Cochrane Collaboration, to be featured as guests and even as hosts on mainstream television networks and on PBS, to issue opinions in the name of the National Academy of Sciences, to be patronized by powerful politicians, and even to be chosen by U.S. presidents to chair influential government commissions.
The most successful pitch so far, and the one that the fattest quack-cats of all have apparently decided to bet the farm on, is "integrative medicine" (IM). Good call: the term avoids any direct mention of the only thing that distinguishes it from plain medicine. Its proponents, unsurprisingly, have increasingly come to understand that when they are asked to explain what IM is, it is prudent to leave some things to the imagination. They're more likely to get a warm reception if they lead people to believe that IM has to do with reaching goals that almost everyone agrees are worthy: compassionate, affordable health care for all, for example.
In that vein, the two most consistent IM pitches in recent years—seen repeatedly in statements found in links from this post—are that IM is "preventive medicine" and that it involves "patient-centered care." I demolished the "preventive" claim a couple of years ago, as did Drs. Lipson, Gorski, and probably others. Today I'll explain why the "patient-centered care" claim is worse than fatuous.

By Freedom Newspapers
Each year, Americans celebrate the independence of our nation on July 4, remembering the conflicts and patriots who died to preserve our ideals.
This week, we will again remember those men and women and gather with family under the sheltering umbrella of the United States of America.
But let us remember more.
Let us remember what inspired the Declaration of Independence and united our forefathers as a single nation to stand against the British Empire.
On that first Independence Day, our fledgling nation had no war or sacrificing soldiers to remember and honor. Instead, they were looking ahead, willing to commit to a fight to secure freedom not from a foreign power but from domestic tyranny.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness," wrote Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence that was signed by the Continental Congress in 1776.
Those words continue to ignite passion among Americans today. Over the following centuries, we have made gains to ensure "all men are created equal," and we call upon that truth as we continue to discover injustices in our system.
The great message and hope of the founders' cry for freedom was later explained by President Abraham Lincoln as "a government of the people, by the people, for the people."
Fifty years after the passage of the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson wrote in a letter that the nation's document is "the signal of arousing men to burst the chains …to assume the blessings and security of self-government" and to restore "the free right to the unbounded exercise of reason and freedom of opinion."
But to be a nation of people able to assume the blessings and securities of self-government, we must have free access to information often controlled by our government and its bureaucracies.
To be uninformed is to be robbed of our right to self-government and democracy.
Jefferson knew the freedoms exalted by the Declaration of Independence were not created by ink on paper, but by citizens who stood to break the chains and demand freedom and a responsive government.
We must continue to exercise our rights of reason and opinion today, demanding responsive and open government locally and nationally, or apathy will devour those freedoms that we celebrate and soldiers have died to protect.

Energy Efficient Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Be kind to your pocketbook, lower bills
- Reduce energy needs
- Thermal picks maintain inside temps
- Absorb outside heat & cold
- Block UV rays, protect furnishings
Add energy efficiency to your home by choosing the right window coverings. An insulating window shade will quickly pay for itself by lowering your heating and cooling bills. Cellular shades are the best insulator with year-round efficiency, and shutters are also a great choice. Roman shades and custom drapery with thermal lining also provide good insulation. Remember that shades must be closed to provide insulation, so choose a fabric opacity that fits your lighting needs. Solar screen shades provide view-through and summertime efficiency but should be paired with another treatment for nighttime privacy and winter insulation.

"Perfect Color!"
By Duluthian2 from Minneapolis, MN
Always pleased that the colors swatches I receive and choose are EXACTLY what I get in a final product! There are no worries once you find the right one! I had to order quite a few samples (at least 3 dozen) to make sure I got the look and style I wanted.) In the end, I ended up with the perfect window treatment!View this product

Many people are confused when they receive vastly different auto insurance quotes from different companies.
Why should there be such a large discrepancy? How do auto insurance providers determine a rate quote?
There are several factors that can be used, and they vary from provider to provider.
Credit rating
Your credit rating does not just impact how easily you can obtain a car loan. It is also used to determine your auto insurance rate.
According to Insurance.com, many insurance providers will run a credit check based on specific parameters, such as how often you've been late paying bills.
Auto insurance companies use your credit rating because it tells them how likely you are to pay your premiums on time. A lot of late payments indicate an unstable financial situation, which means they are going to charge you more because you constitute more of a risk.
Steve Pape, an insurance agent for Midwest Insurance Group outside of Milwaukee, explained that some companies use credit scores for determining discount rates, while others use it to determine which rating tier a driver falls into.
"In determining rates, your score is used in conjunction with your claims history, driving record and other factors," he said.
Driving habits
There are several ways that your auto insurance rate can depend on your driving habits.
State Farm lists where you drive, how often you drive, how far you drive and your driving record as factors when issuing a quote.
For example, if you drive 30 miles to work every day, your auto insurance rate will likely be higher than someone who works right around the corner from his house. That's because the longer you are in your car, the higher the likelihood that you will be in an accident.
Similarly, if you live in a high-crime area where car theft is more common, you will be considered more of a risk.
Your vehicle
The next factor that is often used to determine your auto insurance rate is the type of vehicle you drive.
More expensive cars yield higher premiums in most cases, while a cheaper car will be less expensive to replace should it be stolen or totaled. It is important to consider potential insurance costs when buying a new car.
You might also qualify for discounts on your auto insurance rate if your car is equipped with certain safety features such as air bags and rear-mounted cameras. You can discuss those discounts with your insurance provider to see how much of a discount they can offer.
Type of coverage
According to FreeAdvice.com, there are five basic types of auto insurance coverage: bodily injury liability, property damage liability, uninsured (or underinsured) motorist, collision and comprehensive.
Most states require that drivers carry a minimum of liability insurance; other types are optional.
The more auto insurance you purchase, the higher your rate will be. However, paying a higher monthly premium means that your out-of-pocket costs should something happen will be considerably smaller. It all depends on what you are willing to gamble with your car and safety.
Personal data
Your auto insurance provider will also take into consideration your personal data.
Your age and gender, for example, are considerable factors. Older drivers are considered better risks because they have more experience and therefore enjoy lower quotes. And since male drivers are statistically more likely to get into an accident, they often pay higher premiums than female drivers.

Advanced Micro Devices hopes that Microsoft Corp.'s next-generation Windows 8 operating system will work with multi-core central processing units (CPUs) more efficiently than Windows 7. As a result, the company's FX-series chips with up to eight cores will show higher performance than today. A big question is how AMD FX will show itself in comparison with Intel's chips.
According to a slide that AMD recently spread, the new chips show up to 10% performance advantage in Windows 8 compared to existing performance in Windows 7. The performance boost is observable in non-demanding video games and can be less noticeable in other applications as well as game titles that heavily rely on performance of central processing units. The chip giant attributes the advantage to the new scheduler of the next-gen operating system, which more efficiently manages microprocessors with numerous cores.
Based on independent tests by X-bit labs, the FX chips fail to become an enthusiasts' choice as the top-of-the-range eight-core FX-8150 model can barely beat Intel's mainstream quad-core Core i5-2500 processor that even lacks the company's well-known Hyper-Threading technology.
While AMD demonstrates the advantages of its own eight-core microprocessor in the Windows 8 environment, but does not indicate whether other CPUs also benefit from the next-gen OS. It is widely believed that Microsoft's operating system due next year needs less compute resources than existing OS and will therefore work better on all systems.

As long as Melo or Shump are not traded anybody else leaving is fine with me.
That's absolutely right. If we really want to improve some assets have to be put on the table. I can see Chandler and a few other pieces (draft picks, cash or one or two more players) in a sign in trade with Atlanta for Josh Smith. He'd be a good edition if you think Amare's finished.
Personally, I think we should sit tight now that we've resigned JR. Start Amare, give him 30 mins per game and run the pick and roll. This would be the best case scenario for us. No need to hinder the team defensively by shipping out Chandler. But if Amare can't come back strong then he has no trade value and the only option will be to trade Chandler or Shumpert.
As long as Melo or Shump are not traded anybody else leaving is fine with me.
I'd love Aaron Brooks and Brand or Kmart
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
just read that these players are available Barnes will stay in Clipps
list of Knicks possible players
Elton Brand, Will Bynum, Aaron Brooks, Earl Watson, Devin Harris, Sebastian Telfair, Francisco Garcia, Carlos Delfino Dahntay Jones
Delfino, Brand and Brooks sounds good.....too bad i can't see a way to get them (maybe 1 of them)
I would love Delfino on this team. Maybe Pablo can convince him to come for the 1.75 mil a year. Highly unlikely but we should at least try.
It's out of left field, but I would really like the Knicks to take a Flier on either Shaun Livingston or Greg Oden. With Stats knee issues, I know some would poo poo on this suggestion, but I believe, especially in the case of Oden, its low risk high reward. If this man's knee can stay healthy, I think he will clearly bring the shot blocking presence needed. Livingston is a more than capable backup point. He doesn't shoot the 3 well, but he is great at pick and roll and penetrating to the hoop. These moves haven't been talked about and probably won't happen, but I think they would be moves that will give the Knicks, in my opinion, a better team than they had last year
MAn alive!! If Pablo can convince Delfino to come thru and we get hometown discounts on Brand and Telfair or sign Brooks or Watson I'm happy as hell.
Melo/Delfino/cj leslie
Barnburner/Amare/Shawn williams
Chandler/Brand/Jerome Jordan or Earl Baron
Improvement over last season!! I'm not a fan of the small ball line up. What ever we gain with Melo at the 4 I think we lose with Shump at the 3 with the 2 headed pt gaurd. Too small in the back court and after all Melo was Melo before he started playin the 4 position. Bargs is a finesses stretch 4 so he wont get in Melo's way on the block.
Without making any big trades and no money to spare It's about all you could ask.
Maybe Grunny will surprise us with another D Leaguer/foriegner will to play on the cheap (this years Cope)
Did someone said Telfair? Mini-Starbury...Do we really need to go there?
I think grunny already found that player in one C.J. Leslie I've watch his videos and the dude has potential and he can ball! Definitely can contribute.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
Yeah, i def would not trade Leslie. I too think he's gonna be a good one. BTW we can mark off Garcia now. He signed with the Rockets
I personally like Shaun Livingston, Corey Brewer, Ivan Johnson, Will Bynum, Speights, Blair, Hickson
I doubt we can afford most of those guys.
Some other names might be cheaper scoop...
Pachulia, Pargo, Telfair, Jermaine Oneal?, Mullens, Kaman, Foye, Ebanks, Dalembert, Beaubois, Ayon, Barnes
Watch out for A.j Matthews hes signed to our summer league team.
Also i love Cj Leslie i remember watching him in college. We got a steal with him. Reminds me of tall Lance Stephenson with a post game!

Denial of Peter, c. 1663
Karel DujardinDutch, 1622-1678
Oil on canvas
47 x 41 in. (119.4 x 104.1 cm)
Norton Simon Art Foundation

On view
In the early morning hours following Christ's arrest, Peter waited outside the house of the high priest Caiaphas, where Jesus stood trial. Three times Peter was identified as Jesus' companion, and three times the apostle denied it. Here Dujardin focuses sharply on Peter and the maid who recognizes him, suggesting that this is the second denial, as described in Matthew 26:71–72: "and again [Peter] denied it with an oath." The apostle's testimony is emphasized by the placement of his hand over his heart. The moment's high tension is conveyed by the maid's accusatory look and gesture, Peter's defensive response and the off-center placement of both figures. Dujardin's use of strong chiaroscuro and a close-up presentation of unidealized figures suggests his familiarity with the Caravaggesque tendencies in Dutch Baroque art. Finely painted details, such as the maid's white sleeve, and the smooth facture throughout, however, demonstrate Dujardin's affiliation with Dutch classicism. Though he was primarily known as an accomplished landscape painter, the artist also painted a range of subjects drawn from history and the Bible, as well as portraits of Amsterdam's elites. He enjoyed considerable success during his career.

It's a pity the table isn't easy to read, but I get the jist of it.
Statistically he's done ok, but the main issues I've had are when he lets a defender beat him off the dribble or ends up being the player closest to a wide-open jump shooter and just stands there.
I saw Chandler on more than a few occasions run from the other side of the key to the 3pt corner to try and alter a shot. STAT just stands and watches.
Not good enough for the playoffs.

Earlier in April the council of the European Union formally adopted a decision to lift countervailing duties on imports of dynamic random access (DRAM) memory chips from South Korea manufactured by Hynix Semiconductor. Hynix management greeted the council's action with praise and a degree of vindication.
In 2003 the council determined that the government of South Korea had illegally subsidized Hynix by allegedly directing banks to engage in a non-commercial financial restructuring of the company. The council's decision was overturned by the World Trade Organization in 2005 and Hynix continued to press its case within the European court and before the European Commission.
With no justification for continued imposition, the Council agreed to lift the countervailing duties, retroactively effective from December 31st 2007. The council's action should provide Hynix with greater flexibility and stability in meeting customer needs.
"We commend the Council for taking the right course of action in this matter. For five years Hynix and the government of South Korea have fought the imposition of these duties before the European Commission and at the World Trade Organization and we are happy that we have finally secured their just termination," said Min Goo Choi, a senior vice president at the company.

"Iran, Netanyahu and the Holocaust"
Op-Ed, Veterans Today

Would a nuclear Iran cause another Holocaust?
If we are to believe Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu and his supporters, then yes.
In his recent speech to AIPAC, Netanyahu once again referred to the Holocaust in order to make a case for war against Iran.
'Some commentators would have you believe that stopping Iran from getting the bomb is more dangerous than letting Iran have the bomb,' he said to a cheering crowd.
'They say that a military confrontation with Iran would undermine the efforts already underway and that it would provoke an even more vindictive response by Iran.'
This argument reminds Netanyahu of the correspondence between the World Jewish Congress and the US War Department in 1944 when the Americans argued that bombing Ausschwitz would 'provoke even more vindictive action by the Germans.'...

The pressing need to respond to the disaster of 9/11 shaped NIJ's research, development and evaluation agenda. Learn more about the impact of 9/11 terrorist attacks on research.
The search for a universal, precise definition of terrorism has been challenging for researchers and practitioners alike. Different definitions exist across the federal, international and research communities.
Title 22 of the U.S. Code, Section 2656f(d) defines terrorism as "premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience." [1]
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) defines terrorism as "the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives."
Both definitions of terrorism share a common theme: the use of force intended to influence or instigate a course of action that furthers a political or social goal. In most cases, NIJ researchers adopt the FBI definition, which stresses methods over motivations and is generally accepted by law enforcement communities.
