Fifty Shades Of Grey Trailer has been released
. What do you think?
It will be one of the biggest bombs of this decade.ReplyCancel
Uh yeah this is gonna make a shit ton of moneyReplyCancel
Meh, I'm just so completely over & done with all of this and you know they are going to drag this out with multiple teasers & sneak peaks, since it won't be released for 8 month.ReplyCancel
I think it wont be anywhere near as sexy as anyone thinks. They dont want a rating which will restrict their audience.ReplyCancel
Dakota isn't pretty enough for this to work. Sorry sweetie.ReplyCancel
Meh. He doesn't do it for me. I'll rent it when it's in the Redbox next year.ReplyCancel
You got it Sass. It'd be awesome if Danny scored the sex scenes with music from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. Now that I'd I'd pay to see.ReplyCancel
Ugh love Danny, must force myself to listen to the trailerReplyCancel
The trailer looks like a commercial for some cheap aftershave. Jamie, who is actually rather hot, has been made to look quite dull. Sam Taylor Wood or Johnson, the director, just does not have it in her to make an edgy, sexy film. A 'B' movie director if she is lucky, She is definitely no Steve McQueen!ReplyCancel
Just saw it…The guy does absolutely nothing for me!!! "There's nothin' there man…it's not ugly….it's just void!"ReplyCancel
NC-17 or bust.
If they already have the trailer, then how come no nudes have leaked? That is always a part of the guerrilla PR. I have no clue what that one Kirsten Dunst movie was about, but I have the leaked pic of her tits memorized.
It looks like a shit show.ReplyCancel
@Violet. Not me! Epitome of cliche. But my friends dug it.ReplyCancel
I'd rather watch old man porn.ReplyCancel
Jamie is much hotter with scruff. His look in The Fall… swoon. And he's a killer.ReplyCancel
I was thinking the same thing. Buuuut in saying this the books where so bad I only got to 100 pages in to the first one. If I have to say something nice, I like the way the music did it's thing in the trailer. That is allReplyCancel
Refused to read the shit books, so I certainly won't be wasting money on this shit show.ReplyCancel
@Sincerely: GrandpasFuckTeens.comReplyCancel
Looks terrible.ReplyCancel
Word @sass. If anyone can polish a turd, it's Elfman. I can't believe this is all a product of Twilight fanfictionReplyCancel
I'm ashamed that I know this but Christian GREY is supposed to have blue eyes that look GREY. this guy's eye are black. Sorry but that's a pretty big part of the book so it's pretty distracting that is eyes are so dark in the movie. Yea this Jamie guy is no Christian. Should have been Matt Bomer. Most beautiful man alive lol.
And Anastasia is supposed to be not very pretty. So they did good there.
I read All the books in a short amount of time, very EASY read. Just sex. Neither one of them do Christian or Anastasia justice. I guess my imagination is a LOT better then whoever decided the cast…ReplyCancel
I would also pay to see that!ReplyCancel
I think it was not as bad as I thought it would be, as someone who has never read the books just hearing other people talk about it, trailer-wise, I just thought his dialogue would have been better rolling off the tongue of a young James Spader, you need the combo of charm and evil.
I did pick up that the girl was not supposed to be hot, that's part of the point I believe. She is having a sexual awakening blah blah blah.ReplyCancel
Agree KMS the music was quite good in the trailer.ReplyCancel
Can someone explain to me what's the big fuzz about the book? I just read the summary on Wikipedia and some friends on FB have been posting things about it. I mean, I get that it's an erotic book but there are tons of them! Why the big deal about one? (ok, or a trilogy?).ReplyCancel
Thanks Count!
Those are movies I'll be watching! Sincerely.
Xxxxcellent typo!! Well done.ReplyCancel
That guy does nothing for me.ReplyCancel
Not interested, not even a little bit. There's way better erotica out there than a mainstreamed Twilight fanfic. Though I will say I am mighty jealous of the author for parlaying a fanfic into beau coup bucks.ReplyCancel
I never read the books because the premise seemed almost laughable to me (or maybe I'm secretly a 12 year old boy, tittering at boobie jokes…), but I watched this trainwreck on Michael K's site this morning and it was cringeworthy. I don't…Jamie is dull and what's her face Johnson is…just bad? Too awkward? I don't know, I have no frame of reference for her character so I have no idea. But i am definitely in the "PASS" camp – I already had to sit through overweight bleach-blonde moms in muumuus salivating at the screen and catcalling Taylor Lautner in the theaters when I joined my Twilight OBSESSED friends a few years back. This shitshow is going to be unbearable in a hot dark theater.
Also, I'm glad Charlie Hunnam noped the hell out before it was too late – it would've made this more interesting to me, but he seems somehow too rugged, too gritty for this role. It might have ruined him for me. So I'm glad!!ReplyCancel
I guess I'm a middle aged ho-horn ball and I'll be the first in line. Dakota surprised me, I thought she was good as Ana. I'm not too thrilled with Christian, but we'll see. My SIL is already planning the opening night party.ReplyCancel
I won't be seeing it, but I have to admit I am much more impressed with Dakota here than I thought I would be. She surprisingly manages to convey the innocence needed.
Him, however, feh. Nice six-pack, but that doesn't replace charisma.ReplyCancel
Having read the trilogy (don't ask), and having seen Sam Taylor-Wood's (now Taylor-Johnson's) work–including Nowhere Boy–I think this stands a chance.
The trailer already gives off more heat than the book(s) ever did, the revamped Beyoncé number has a NIN "Closer" vibe to it, and Danny Elfman's scores are nothing to sneeze at.
Not expecting great things, won't see it in the cinema, but I predict a film that makes a decent profit.ReplyCancel
@Meghan: Right! It might be worth seeing in a theater just to hear all the boot stuck in mud sounds from the diddling going on.
Might be a good spot to go MILF Hunting.ReplyCancel
@Count: Get it, bro!ReplyCancel
@Count – considering I'm approaching middle age (is 31 close to middle age? I don't know!!), I applaud your dedication to older ladies. However, BEING an older lady, I will leave the MILF-hunting to the experts, since I only catch what I will eat, and I'm positive my efforts would be wasted. So hunt away, dear – DON'T report back with PMB, though – I read this while I eat lunch!!!ReplyCancel
I'm with Danielle on this: Matt Bomer has the looks, this guy doesn't. I was picturing drop dead gorgeous hunk, not squished face nobody. I read the books, I'm 50 something, but I won't watch the movie. By book 3 it was the same crap over and over.ReplyCancel
Melancholia. Only the first half was good. With her marrying Alexander Skarsgard. That should have been the movie. . It jumped the shark 2nd half. When Alex leaves the movie.. so does the plot..ReplyCancel
Funny you mentioned that.. I just Dvr that off tcm last night. . Weekend watching! !
This looks like really terrible writing and slick camera angles. Danny elfman is the star of this movie.. like one long rock music video.
Jamie is actually way hotter than he looks in this
I do like the Beyonce remix thoughReplyCancel
Haven't seen the trailer. Didn't read the book. Now that Charlie isn't in it, I'll probably wait to see it on Netflix or HBO.ReplyCancel
I don't see people in the Midwest and southern states going out to see this in public and risk sitting next to their kids soccer coach or bible study leader… I think this will be bigger on red box and on demand when they can do unrated version.ReplyCancel
Thanks for the well wishes, Reese.
Meghan: 31 aint middle age. I would put middle age as 35-55.
Which t-shirt y'all think I should where to a mid week/mid day showing of the flick.
I need to advertise properly and they aint gonna let me in the theater w/ black rope and a riding crop.ReplyCancel
Welcome aboard, Max!ReplyCancel
@Count You just kill me there, middle age starts at 35?! Get me a cane, I feel old.ReplyCancel
Can't wait for this lifetime hotmessReplyCancel
I've seen this movie before.
Its called Secretary!!
Never read the books, won't read them, never will see the movie. Don't care at all. If something is overhyped, that immediately makes me ignore it.ReplyCancel
How do you make a flick like this without getting an actress with some sex appeal??? He wouldn't waste his time on her.ReplyCancel
texas rose – yes, no appeal. I mean she's average looking, but there is nothing there. Just meh.ReplyCancel
Dakota looks way too old to play Anastasia, and Christian should have been Ian Somerholder.ReplyCancel
Anybody want to explain to me why Dakota goes to see that Grey guy dressed as Ruth Fisher? I thought these books were about her wearing kinky latex and leather and shit.ReplyCancel
If more sad housewives knew about pornhub.com, they wouldn't care less about 50 Shades.ReplyCancel
Some of the hilariously bad passages from these Twilight fanfic books have been posted online.
There is actually a reason why some people write internet fanfic and some people write books and screenplays.
The movie has some light B/d so the flyovers will flock to it. They think they're being daring.ReplyCancel
Add me to that list.ReplyCancel
I'll bet when adjusted for inflation, Deep Throat will have had the bigger box office, not to mention societal impact. Science also. Who knew prior to 1973 that some women had clits in their throats?
For those who have never seen the American Cinema Classic: ABSOLUTELY NSFW! Deep Throat in its entirety. Featuring Thora Birch's parents: Jack Birch and Carol Connors (but not bangin each other).ReplyCancel
I wish the lead character was older and more distinguished looking but he's not bad. Overall I really liked the trailer and I'm looking forward to seeing it.
I think it should be released on demand the same day as in the theater though because I could see how a lot of women will want to see it, but will be too embarrassed to see it in public.ReplyCancel
@ Max Power – 50 Shades of Gay – Ha! I like it! Welcome to the group!ReplyCancel
Jason you my boo.ReplyCancel
I think it will be a smash as well, unless people are just too embarrassed to go see it.ReplyCancel
First I did not read the books, a friend gave me the play by play. The trailer looks interesting, and if I had to bet money I think Charlie turning down this huge moneymaker will be a regret for him. Twilight made a boatload of money and I think this one will too. I think the Christian character is supposed to be dark in character and looks and Dakota seems to ok and this will launch her acting career.
Who said anything about a well thought out book, script, etc., it's all about the money.
The music is awesome!!ReplyCancel
@sis. charlie was only getting $100k for 50sog with no mention of back end profits..if it made it to a 2nd or 3rd film and only IF he would have gotten some sort of pay raise but keep it mind the HUGE BESTSELLERS the girl with the dragon tattoo was much hyped made by DAVID F-ING FINCHER and nod a commercial enough success to be greenlit for the 2nd film 4 years later..
also charlie wins because he got a crap ton of publicity out of this without having to have the pressure of filming the movie.

I-90 lane closures at Dresbach Bridge begin May 2
Construction date was delayed due to weather
There will be lane closures on both sides of the Dresbach Bridge on I-90 beginning Thursday, May 2, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
The construction project was delayed due to the weather from its original lane closure date from early April.
The $187.5 million project includes constructing a new I-90 bridge crossing over the Mississippi River and reconstructing the Highway 61/14 and I-90 interchange, according to transportation officials.
The Mississippi River Trail will also be closed to bicyclists between La Crescent and Dresbach during construction. Bicyclists should follow the Apple Blossom Scenic Byway until the new segments reopen in 2016.
The project is a cooperative effort between the Minnesota and Wisconsin Departments of Transportation and will continue through 2016.

Hot Trend: Afronauts
Daniel Kojo came to Haverford today. This matters because he has a painting series called "Afronauts." Black aliens? Ok, the connection to Pope.L's impending ET^2 performastravaganzathon is too uncanny not to mention it here. Why is this such a money metaphor right now? I like it, but I don't know if this Kojo guy makes it work for me beyond the cool sound of the word"Afronaut," which Slate tells us is a big deal in music now. I can't decide if this is a trendy fantasy that's about to get played out or if it will stick around.

For Immediate Release
June 14, 2006
CHICAGO – Illinois State Board of Education Chairman
Jesse Ruiz today joined Chicago Public Schools Chief
Executive Officer Arne Duncan, parents and educators
for a panel discussion at the DuSable High School on
Chicago's South Side, to highlight the Small Schools
concept, part of Governor Blagojevich's recently
unveiled plan to reform the state's schools.
"Small schools can provide a more focused and
personalized education for students, especially those
who can most benefit from such a learning environment.
In small schools, parents of students who may be struggling
can work more closely with teachers and administrators
to design a plan to help that student," said ISBE
Chairman Ruiz.
"The governor's funding plan includes support
for some very strong education initiatives, including
small schools and identity schools. These are ideas that
deserve a full and open discussion of how they benefit
students," said CPS CEO Duncan.
Last May, Gov. Rod Blagojevich unveiled a bold new education
plan aimed at reversing 25 years of chronic underfunding
in the state's public schools.
The Governor's plan will build on four consecutive
budgets that have invested record amounts in Illinois
schools, by implementing initiatives including: full
day kindergarten and universal preschool; funding new
school construction; creating "Small Schools" and "Identity
Schools"; helping school districts regularly replace
outdated textbooks; extending the school year for underachieving
schools; performance pay for teachers; increased takeovers
of failing districts; funding after school tutoring for
underachieving students; helping schools afford special
education teachers; increasing parent involvement; increasing
district consolidations; improving libraries; more and
better mentoring for principals and superintendents;
helping schools afford new technology; and reducing school
district administrative costs.
In the past four budgets, the governor has boosted education
funding to more than $3.8 billion, the largest increase
by an administration in Illinois history; raised high
school graduation standards, created universal preschool
and cut red tape.
The reform plan unveiled by the Governor builds on that
progress, focusing on five areas vital to improving schools
and helping kids learn, including:
A key aspect of the Governor plan will be developing
more "Small Schools". Small schools have
reported better attendance rates, stronger academic achievement,
lower dropout rates, greater participation in activities,
less vandalism and violence, and particularly strong
academic results for low-income students and minority
The National Center for Education Statistics reports
that violent acts and drug abuse are far less common
in small schools. Less than 8 percent of urban small
schools report incidents of serious violent crime (physical
attack or fight with a weapon) while 26.5 percent of
urban schools with an enrollment of 1,000 students or
more reported such crimes.
Research by the North Central Regional Education Laboratory
(NCREL) shows that the most effective small schools share
common features such as clear goals and standards to
help focus curriculum, learning, and instruction; a distinctive
educational approach; strong outreach to and involvement
with students' families; an orientation toward active
learning in the classroom and in the community; extensive
partnerships with community and business groups (which
might include co-location); regular monitoring of student
achievement using multiple measures to refine and improve
schools; and involvement of students and educators by
A national study by Bank Street College of Education,
found that small schools in Chicago Public Schools have
higher attendance, fewer dropouts, fewer course failures,
fewer violent incidents of discipline, along with higher
teacher, student, parent, and community member satisfaction
than large schools.
"Small Schools have proven to be another effective
opportunity for students to learn. I applaud the Chicago
Public Schools for continuing to seek strategies to ensure
student and teacher success in schools," said ISBE
member Vinni Hall.

Spring 2011 - 62270 - PA397C - Advanced Empirical Methods for Policy Analysis
Quantitative Methods for Management
| Matwiczak, Kenneth
|Unique Number:
|Day & Time:
|W 9:00 - 12:00 pm
|Waitlist Information:
|For LBJ Students: UT Waitlist Information
Course Overview
In addition to the Introduction to Empirical Methods course in the common core, MPAff students are required to take another three-hour course in quantitative analysis, selected from among a set of courses focusing on the application of quantitative theory and techniques to policy analysis. Topics offered vary from year to year but include econometrics, demographic techniques, systems analysis, simulation modeling, and quantitative indicator methods. As the second course in the two-course MPAff quantitative sequence, this course is intended to provide students with an in-depth understanding and hands-on experience with a specific quantitative method useful in policy analysis. This course is usually taken during the second semester of the first year.
Section Description
In an effort to broaden and expand the studentís ìtoolkitî of decision-making and management aids, this ìtopicalî course covers additional decision analysis and modeling methods not addressed in IQA. It is intended for students who are interested in quantitative methods applied to management and administration. Topics covered in this course include:
(1) Optimization:
- Linear Programming: Expanding on Sensitivity and Post-Optimality Analysis
- Integer Programming: Solving linear programs in which solutions are constrained to be integer values, such as problems involving personnel assignments, etc.
- Goal Programming: Optimization problems in which we would like to achieve multiple objectives. Problems of this nature might include maximizing profit, while minimizing the total project budget, and meeting all time deadlines.
- Network Analysis: The application of linear programming and other algorithms to the optimization of networks, as in transportation, communication, utilities, and project schedules.
(2) Decision Analysis:
- Utility Theory: How to incorporate/assign value and assess risk associated with qualitative decision criteria.
- Multi-Criteria Decision Models: Modeling and analyzing decisions based on several quantitative and/or qualitative criteria, such as contract bidder evaluation /selection, personnel selection, etc.
- Game Theory: Two-party, competing decision strategies.
(3) Queuing Theory: An introduction to the mathematics of waiting lines.
(4) Inventory Theory:How much stock to keep on hand? How much to order?
(5) Simulation: A means for gathering information about and studying complex processes or systems, that cannot be modeled mathematically or that have no analytical solution. Monte Carlo Methods can be used to generate stochastic inputs for processes and decisions involving uncertainty.
The course is an "applied" course in the use of the management tools described above, and in the analysis and interpretation of the results. You will make extensive use of computer spreadsheets throughout the course. There will be several homework problem sets assigned, as well as a semester project which will require an oral presentation at the end of the semester. A mid-term exam and a final exam are included in the course.

Category: Network-Tools/Bandwidth-ToolsBandwidth Controller Standard 1.14Author: Matt Johns
Operation System: Windows 2K/XP/2003License: TrialSize: 2.97 MBDate: 2007-03-10
Bandwidth Controller has many features to help you stay in charge of your network flow. Below is a list of ways in which it can help you control your traffic.
Each network adapter can be individually controlled. This is useful, for instance, if you wish to limit internet traffic without bothering with internal network traffic.
Data rates can be set anywhere between zero and one gigabyte per second giving precise control over the amount of bandwidth used.
Send and receive data rates can be set independently of each other.
Limit data rates by protocol. This allows you to filter certain types of network traffic. For example, you can limit the bandwidth of TCP traffic without affecting UDP or IPX.
No need for any software to be installed on client machines. They don't even need any extra configuration. Bandwidth Controller works at the driver level on the server machine so that the whole process is transparent to end users.
Detailed statistics show the amount of data used for each filter and the current bandwidth. A graphical bandwidth usage history gives a quick overview of the current bandwidth utilization.
Management of filters is centralized in an intuitive management interface. New filters can be configured with a few clicks of the mouse.
Limit traffic from specific IP addresses. Both source and destination addresses can be set.
Traffic can also be controlled for specific ports. This is useful for controlling certain applications while giving others full bandwidth.
For example, you can limit peer to peer file sharing software to 5 kilobytes per second without affecting HTTP or FTP flows.
Bandwidth Controller is one of the smartest solution for bandwidth management, due to the advanced features it offers beside the usual transfer rate limitations: custom settings for one or more IP classes, address groups or MAC addresses .
Its very simple interface makes Bandwidth Controller the best choice on
the market for both advanced and novice users who want to control and monitor their network traffic.

The way they geometrically throw light on the wall when illuminated makes me swoon.

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim's first gameplay trailer will blow you away.
Skyrim is built on a brand new engine called the Creative Engine. The engine promised to provide gamers with amazing graphics. This trailer proves Bethesda made good on their promises; combat, AI and even snowfall have been improved. I don't know what's more impressive, the detailed landscape or the dragon combat. The gameplay shows elements we've been promised: the Dragon Shout move (at the 1:00 mark), the ability to wield a weapon from one hand and cast a spell from the other and our hero Dovahkin, aka, Dragonborn.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will be released for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 on November 11.
NEWS: Bethesda Will Award Free Games For Life If You Give Birth To A Child On 11/11/11 And Name It "Dovahkin"

Throughout General's long history, the capacity to admit seminarians of academic excellence and gifts for ministry without regard to their financial resources has remained critical to our mission.
Thanks to generations of generous benefactors, a wide variety of scholarships are available. These are the stories of just a few of our inspiring seminarians and the crucial scholarships supporting their formation and leadership training.
Hershey Mallette comes to GTS from the Diocese of North Carolina with a degree in public history and a passion for engaging history to spiritual needs. She credits her decision to be formed and matriculated at General as a "true exercise of faith." Although other institutions promised full tuition, after visiting General she felt "God was calling [her] to grow in this community, as there is a clear commitment to both learning and living the Anglican Tradition. "
Learning she was the 2012 recipient of The William Cooper and Kate Avis Pike Scholarship, Hershey felt her faith affirmed with funding that "allowed [her] to follow God's call to the Close!" She states, "by their provision I have the leisure to study, volunteer, and explore all the opportunities New York City has to offer."
The Rev. Stephen Holton received his M.Div. from General in 1988 and after 19 years as Rector of St. Paul's on the Hill in Ossining, N.Y., has returned to "refresh and reinvigorate his ministry" with renewed theological discipline and scholarship. His STM project springs from a passion for bringing together different faiths around common worship and he believes the "history, theology, and liturgy of Anglicanism make the Episcopal Church the perfect place for Interfaith work, and General Seminary, the ideal foundation for that continued study."
Fr. Holton is a recipient of a scholarship established by Christ Church Cathedral, Indianapolis in honor of its former Dean, The Very Rev. Robert Giannini, a 1967 graduate and Chairman of our Board of Trustees from 2001-2006. "It is exciting," says Fr. Holton, "that a church can be responsible for re-inventing both a life and a ministry, and contribute to my future aspiration: gathering together a neighborhood for a program of common prayer, food, and ministry that will appeal not only to those of all faiths, but to many who have lost faith."
Kathleen 'Kat" Killian hails from the Diocese of Southeast Florida with a background as a modern dancer and life experience running her own studio in the practice of yoga and spirituality.
Kat also spent time in service as a lay chaplain to the homebound and in nursing homes. A call to the ministry grew quite naturally: "I saw that everyone who came for healing and yoga was seeking something deep," says Kat, "and this moved me along in my spiritual journey."
As a cradle Episcopalian, Kat came to General "for its history! I didn't want to go anywhere else; I want to be immersed in the foundation and heritage of the Anglican tradition that GTS offers, as well as the variety of perspectives that illuminate future possibilities for our Church."
Kat was thrilled and surprised when offered The Esther Morse Scholarship – "I felt called to be here, and then the money came, an unexpected but much needed support for my formation."
Betsy Ivey is a Candidate in the Diocese of Central Pennsylvania, with a life devoted to social services, an ecumenical background, and a M.Div. already under her belt. As a former member of the African Episcopal Church of St. Thomas she taught Sunday school and brought her B.A. in History to service in St. Thomas' Historical Society.
With aspirations for the priesthood and greater historical scholarship, Betsy came to General to pursue an STM that would strengthen her Anglicanism and increase her knowledge of the history of the Episcopal Church. As the recipient of a scholarship honoring the Rev. Willett Nicoll Hawkins, a graduate of 1896, Betsy is delighted to join a heritage of scholars "more interested in what a person does, than in who a person is." She looks forward to doing her diaconate in Harrisburg, PA, ministering in St. Paul's, a diverse urban church.
Matthew Welch is a junior M.Div. student from the Diocese of Washington where he worked for the U.S. Government for nine years. He served two years as a diplomat in Jerusalem, and the experience bound together the roots and history of his faith with the pressing need to live out the Gospel of Christ in a hurting world. Matt says, "If I was on the Mount of Olives watching someone's house be demolished by the local authorities, I never thought, 'I can't believe I'm on the Mount of Olives!' but rather 'How is the message of the man who descended this mount 2,000 years ago relevant to what I'm seeing here and now?'"
Matt chose GTS because he wanted to explore his faith and its application in ministry in an urban setting. "In New York City, there are a thousand opportunities on every street corner to see God at work." He is the recipient of the Martha Ferris Scholarship in honor of her husband, Fr. Eversly Smart Ferris, GTS Class of 1926. "There is absolutely no way I could honor God's call without this scholarship," he argues, adding "In this difficult economic climate, and at a time when most young people like me are 'spiritual but not religious', supporting new ministries, and particularly seminarians, is more critical than ever." He notes that he is particularly pleased to be receiving a scholarship named in honor of a woman, "because it underscores the vibrant contributions of all peoples in our church."
The Rev. Mary Julia Jett came to GTS from the Diocese of Montana, and will receive both her M.Div. and
STM with the Class of 2013. Jett is the current recipient of The Dr. Robert C. Dentan Scholarship, established by a member of the Class of 1970 in honor of the much admired former professor of Old Testament Literature and Learning. The scholarship is available to students excelling in Old Testament and Hebrew Studies, and provided Mary Julia with the opportunity to complete both degrees concurrently.
In her current post as an assisting priest at St. Mary the Virgin in Times Square, NYC, she enjoys exploring how people can relate to today's church through its history. Most importantly, she points out "A sound knowledge of the Old Testament leads to better knowledge of our New Testament traditions and greater respect for other traditions and faiths." She is committed to bringing academic excellence to pastoral and sacramental work, and has just been accepted into the Ph.D. program in Early Christianity at Union.
Leonard Scott Lipscomb hails from the Diocese of Virginia, finding his most genuine engagement with God through the Episcopal Church after a faith journey experiencing Lutheran, Presbyterian, and Quaker denominations. Seeking to continue his journey with [his] "feet planted firmly in both academic and liturgical worlds", Scott chose General for its ability to "keep the core traditions and legacies of Anglicanism alive while being part of modern society."
Scott's M.A. in Theological and Historical Studies is being supported by The Rev. Dr. Caleb R. Stetson Scholarship, established by the widow of the 1898 graduate who was rector of Trinity Wall Street from 1921-1932.
He looks to teach, write, and research, with the desire to "make theology authentic to tradition and accessible to the contemporary world," so he may serve to "build bridges between clergy and lay people."
As General looks forward to its upcoming bicentennial, we see a vigorous future firmly rooted in a robust heritage, with profound thanksgiving for the community that has partnered, and continues to partner, in the legacy of preeminent training for leaders for the Church.
No institution can fulfill their duty without a healthy scholarship fund, as well as the presence and growth of endowed scholarships established through legacy gifts. We are eternally grateful to those who came before us, and gave generously to support the continued availability of funds for superb candidates.
Establishing the permanence of faculty chairs and scholarship aid is the role of the endowment fund. Professionally managed, with income spent according to a Board of Trustees-approved rate, the endowment ensures that there will always be a General Seminary. As with the capital redevelopment fund, naming opportunities exist to recognize loved ones or other friends of GTS, and donors may wish to consider a multi-year payment period. Minimum contribution levels may apply for named funds for restricted use within the endowment.

- Stellar populations of globular clusters in the elliptical galaxy NGC 1407

- Abstract
- We present high-quality Keck spectroscopic data for a sample of 20 globular clusters (GCs) in the massive E0 galaxy NGC 1407. A subset of 20 line-strength indices of the Lick/IDS system has been measured for both the GC system and the central integrated starlight of the galaxy. Ages, metallicities, and [α/Fe] ratios have been derived using several different approaches. The majority of GCs in NGC 1407 studied are old, follow a tight metallicity sequence reaching values slightly above solar, and exhibit mean [α/Fe] ratios of ~0.3 dex. In addition, three GCs are formally derived to be young (~4 Gyr), but we argue that they are actually old GCs hosting blue horizontal branches. We report, for the first time, evidence for the existence of two chemically distinct subpopulations of metal-rich (MR) GCs. We find that some MR GCs exhibit significantly larger [Mg/Fe] and [C/Fe] ratios. Different star formation timescales are proposed to explain the correlation between Mg and C abundances. We also find striking CN overabundances over the entire GC metallicity range. It is interesting to note that the behavior of C and N in metal-poor GCs clearly deviates from that in MR GCs. In particular, for MR GCs, N increases dramatically while C essentially saturates. This may be interpreted as a consequence of the increasing importance of the CNO cycle with increasing metallicity.

News Detail
Biology Majors Present at Regional Meeting
Five Biology majors presented their research at a recent regional meeting of the American Society for Microbiology (ASM), which took place in Buffalo.
Students Michael Carroll and Bob Battaglia presented "Do Bacterial Symbionts Influence Gut Epithelial Cell Junction Integrity?" The pair was mentored by Dr. Edward Freeman, Associate Professor. Teddy Ruff's poster was entitled, "Analysis of the Presence of Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA in Athletic Facilities," and he was mentored by Dr. Kristin Picardo, Interim Department Chair and Associate Professor. And Jennifer Rath and Jillian Foster presented, "Prevalence of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Among a Population of Students at St. John Fisher College." They were mentored by Dr. Theresa Westbay, Associate Professor, along with Picardo.
According to Picardo, the Fisher students were the only undergraduates to present their work at the conference, and all other poster presenters were graduate students or postdoctoral fellows.
The scientific meeting is attended by experts in the field of microbiology, infectious disease, and immunology. The ASM is the oldest and largest single life science membership organization in the world. There are more than 39,000 society members from around the globe. The members represent 26 disciplines of microbiological specialization plus a division for microbiology educators.

If you travel, you may have already heard: Bedbugs have checked into hotels across the country. Stories like that don't make for a good night's sleep. While the occurrence of bedbugs is quite rare, they can spread easily, so it's a good idea to know what to do in case you encounter them. As you pack for your next trip, here are a few tips to keep you from bringing home a few unwanted souvenirs.
Unlike fleas and lice, which like to ride around on their food, bedbugs prefer to eat and run. They hide in little crevices and cracks, waiting for a warm-blooded mammal (i.e.: you) to pass by. When the lights go out, the feast begins. Once dinner is over, they scurry back to their hiding places before they come back on. Their habit of dining in the dark makes it difficult for bedbug-hunters (again, you) to find them. So you will need a strategy.
As you unlock the door to your hotel room, you may notice an odd odor. If you know your spices, the smell is something like coriander or cilantro. That's a hint that bedbugs might be in your room, but you will need more conclusive evidence. Start first with the mattress and box springs. Be sure to check all the seams and folds. Also look in the corners of drawers, along the baseboards, behind the headboard and bed frame. Don't forget to look behind that lovely picture of Venice at sunset on the wall. You will be looking not only for the bug itself but also for any black dots and cast-off skins. If you see any of these signs, it's time to find another hotel. Fast.
But, let's say the hotel smells fresh, the baseboards are clean, and you blissfully fall asleep. Bedbugs may have infested the room next door, and can go through the cracks between walls as they search for food (you). So when you wake up, be sure to check yourself over for any insect bites on your body that weren't there the night before.

Don't Blame Facebook For Your Problems
We've got endless examples:
- You're a retail investor. You chased the IPO because you have a Facebook page. Even though you have nobody to blame but yourself, you (and the media) blamed everybody except the person who hit 'BUY' for your losses. Back in May 2012, while predicting long-term success for Facebook stock, I said Do not buy the IPO . That's almost always sound advice. Take it.
- You're Mark Cuban, a wildly successful and otherwise brilliant man , yet you dog Facebook for structuring its advertising like TV and radio. Pay more as the size of the audience you reach increases. Novel idea.
- You're General Motors (GM) . Unlike Ford (F) , you have no clue how to properly use social media to market your company , yet you blame Facebook, exonerating your own ineptness in the process.
You really can't assign blame to Facebook for your problems, no matter what they are. But that's what we tend to do.
My wacko ex-boyfriend is stalking me; it's because of a loosey-goosey privacy policy. Somebody bullied my kid; finger social media. Somebody shared my 'private' holiday picture ; they have no "social etiquette."
In each of the above-mentioned scenarios, blaming Facebook is the easy answer. It allows us to ignore the larger, highly-complex bigger picture issues we need to address, re: IPOs, stalkers, bullying and privacy. Same goes for companies that complain about the "effectiveness" of Facebook advertising.
As Director of Social Media for TheStreet, it continues to become increasingly clear, if you can't make social advertising work, you're the one with the problem, not Facebook, Twitter or one of the other platforms.
Even though it's on a roll -- up 43% since I admonished Barrons for its lame $15 price target -- concerns over Facebook's ability to deliver for advertisers remains a key component of the bear case on the stock. This shouldn't be.
First, we have not compiled enough observations, particularly on mobile, to come to valid conclusions. Facebook has most of the meaningful data that could actually help determine how well its platform serves clients. Nobody else. There's no such thing as an "expert" on social media. It's too new. If somebody tries to tell you they're an "expert," call them a poser. Because that's what they are.
Second, even if data shows Facebook doesn't work, how do we know it's Facebook's fault? Advertising and marketing campaigns fall flat all of the time. It happens on television every day. It will happen to more than a few companies later this month at the Super Bowl. They'll blow millions on an ad that doesn't resonate. Should they blame the platform or have a look in the mirror? Wonder if they could have done better as a creative organization.

Believe me, when teams start to see Melo taking less shots, the team will find it even harder to score.
I wish he'd hit at least 7 of his 15 shots, but if he start to take less than that, no one is going to get good looks.
He is playing good defense under Woodson but his shooting still stunk. He is under 40% now. It's pretty reasonable to expect he will not get better this year. His injured hand needs time to be 100% heal. Why is he still the main focus of the offense? We should get Amare, Novak, Lin more shots instead. Melo's poor shooting will hurt the team in close games.
Believe me, when teams start to see Melo taking less shots, the team will find it even harder to score.
I wish he'd hit at least 7 of his 15 shots, but if he start to take less than that, no one is going to get good looks.
Since Woodson became coach, Melo has hustled defensively, made some terrific assists, and rebounded pretty well. His shot selection has generally been good. He is just not hitting his shots and, with respect to drives to the paint, he has been blocked too many times. His shot will come back, but I am concerned about his explosiveness.
The George Karl complaint about Melo was, to some extent, his inconsistency. But Melo has had very few, if any, really good games this year. I recall being truly impressed with one of his games against Boston in the playoffs last year. He was extraordinary. I have not seen such a game at all this year.
In general, I am impressed with the way he is playing under Woodson and am waiting for his shot to come back.
As for Lin, I am not liking his current game. The complaint against Melo had been the ineffetiveness of his ISO game But Lin effectively plays an ISO game, though he just keeps moving. He has become a ball stopper. Notice how his assists have diminished and he often takes more shots than anyone else.
I do not know why Woodson starts Fields. He has been terrible. His talents are more suited to the free for all D'Antoni system. His shooting has been less than mediocre -- even his foul shooting.
I love Shumpert's defense, but he just never seems to make a shot. He can drive and get close to the rim, but as Clyde noted last night, he does not know what to do with it at the finish.
Really? When Melo was out with that groin injury, everyone was getting good looks at the basket. He still take 15 shots a game and making 5-6 of them. Lin and whoever bring the ball up the court still look at him first. They give him the ball, he play his iso game. He will take a tough shot and make it 39% of the time or kick it out. By then the other team are all set, make it harder for the rest of the team to get a good look. It would be better if Lin look at Amare or Tyson first before Melo. Numbers don't lie....39% shooting is 39% no matter how you look at it. 39% is not acceptable for a superstar, if Melo is a rookie....then i understand.
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Melo is a volume shooter. He needs to have X number of shots per game to be effective. Without Melo the superstar, this team won't go far. Somehow Woody needs to figure out how to give Melo his allocation of iso's without hurting the flow on offense.
Since Woodson has taken over Melo has rarely held the ball longer than 2 seconds.
It's either catch and shoot, which isn't his game, an open three, which isn't his game either, or drives to the basket in transition.
The team got shots when Melo was out because of the unexepected emergence of Lin.
Now teams know what to expect.
I am pasting some of my post from another thread:
Knicks offesive set plays are terrible. Absolutely no more PnR's.
Melo 39% shooting doesnt truly reflect his shooting. His true shooting ability of late is prob around 25-30% if you take away the layups and dunks and blockshots. And if he is our go to guy, we will end up losing more games than we can win in the future. No one paid attention to his low percentage shooting during the winning streak because the rest of the team shot well. But his terrible shooting slump will get magnified ten fold if we lose. If his shooting slump continues and he is still our offensive focus, we will never make our playoff spot.
I have heard enough of excuses for Melo; injuries, volume shooter, shooting rhythm, MDA system not fit for his style, ISO in the wrong place of the court...blah blah blah. He is held accountable for his poor shooting.
Something gotta change! Either he gets off-court help, seeking hypnosis to get his focus back, acquire the service of motivational specialists, yoga lessons anything....i dont really care what it is but something gotta change! Albert Einstein, "Crazy is keep doing the same thing and expecting different results.
Why do we focus so much of Melo? Lately he has not lived up the expectation of Knicks fans as our $20-mil offensive player!
My thing is he was great in Denver when he was the focal point now that he isn't people expect him to be the same guy he was.......which is absurd if this is how we're gonna use Melo then expect these results
Also Lin doesn't pass Melo the ball, he looked him off like 5 times, Lin only give Melo the ball when he'll get credit for an "excellent set up by Jeremy Lin"-Mike Breen
All I am saying is: whatever is blocking his mental state or mental is out of sync with his physical state, or whatever is wrong with him, he needs to do something about it, and do it fast! Take advice from players who broke out of their slump for all we care, and if something doesnt work, try another, and keep on trying til he finds his rythm back.

Melo's 2011-12 stats when he plays in games where the Knicks win (17)
18 PPG / 0.415 / 15.2 FGAs / 5.3 rebounds / 4.3 assists / 30.5 minutes
in losses (21)
21.8 PPG / 0.389 / 19.5 FGAs / 6.4 rebounds / 3.4 assists / 35.8 minutes
interpret the stats however you like them, but I think the Knicks play better when Melo is looking to distribute the ball more and is active on defense
there's something wrong with him though because it's not just his jump shot that is off. he's been missing shots within 5 feet from the rim way too much as well.
The Knicks will not be as successful as they possibly can with Carmelo struggling, I still thinks he needs a few more touches and iso plays ran specifically for to get him going early.
And yes Lin is still not doing a great job of finding Melo, but his struggles aren't Lins fault his timing and rhythm are really off at an all time low right now. I think at some point when the team has a big lead or something that have to force feed him the ball and let him just go 1 on 5 for a few plays so he can get going or something.

I wonder how many Americans know the difference between budget and debt? I always have to keep it clear in my own mind when politicians are talking about these problems and when they are being reported.
Balancing the budget means that we shouldn't spend more than we take in. Cutting the budget means spending less than we have listed for spending. Deficit means an unbalanced budget.
The national debt is what we owe, what we've borrowed from ourselves and from others, what must be paid off. Cutting the budget indicates that we'll spend less, but it doesn't mean that we'll not have to borrow. Balancing the budget means that we'll not have to borrow.
A budget surplus means that we can apply the surplus to paying off some of the debt, paying back some of what we've borrowed. Unless we have a significant surplus, we can't make a significant payment.
The most important thing to do is to pay as much as we can on the debt. Without sufficient revenue, we can not balance the budget and we can not merely by cutting what we spend then produce a surplus. We more likely, as we've been doing produce a deficit.
Most of our revenue comes from taxes. If we reduce taxes, we reduce incoming revenue. The more we reduce revenue or cut taxes, the less chance we of have balancing a budget, let alone coming up with a surplus.
If we were to cut a budget to zero, with zero revenue, we'd have no money to operate with and no surplus. What we need is revenue. If politically it becomes impossible to attain revenue, that is, that we can not collect taxes, then we must get money from somewhere else.
I believe that we need taxes if we are to work toward balancing the budget and we also need to find another source of money if we aren't going to raise revenue to sufficiently produce an annal surplus.
We as a nation own the national parks and the money we collect from their use doesn't much pay for their upkeep. We also own all our national energy resources, except that we lease out ownership to all sorts of oil companies, for example.
If we were to tax oil companies at a rate of 75% annually we'd pay off our debt in about 16 years. Oil companies don't care about us as a nation. They believe it's Un-American to cut their subsidies. I believe that it's Un-American for us NOT to share significantly from our own resources.
Taxing oil, for example, would not negatively affect our economy.
I believe that the only way that we can solve our national fiscal problem in the next two decades is by significantly taxing the production and distribution of energy or completely taking-over this resource. And we must solve the problem of debt reduction as soon as possible.
Taxing would be better than take-over, so that operations remain private and politics could remain outside of the actual operations. I know that the cry will be "socialism." But does anyone know another way?
This is not a question of ideology but one of practicality and of survival.

Febrile (fever) seizures are terrifying for parents to witness; however they are usually not serious and do not cause brain damage. Approximately 2 to 5 percent of children have one febrile seizure between the ages of 6 months and 5 years old; of those, one-third will have a second seizure, and about one half of those will have a third.
According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, children rarely develop their first febrile seizure before the age of 6 months or after 3 years of age. The older a child is when the first febrile seizure occurs, the less likely that child is to have another.
The precise cause of febrile seizures is not known; however, they are associated with high fevers (over 102 degrees F) and they appear to be related to the rate of rise in temperature more than the actual temperature of the fever. In other words, a child who rapidly develops a fever of 103 degrees seems to be at greater risk of having a seizure than a child who slowly develops a fever of 104 degrees F. Febrile seizures also tend to run in families, causing doctors to believe they may be genetically related.
Many parents worry that if their child has a febrile seizure, he or she will develop epilepsy later in life. However, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, only 2 to 5 percent of children who have febrile seizures go on to develop epilepsy.
Most febrile seizures happen in the first few hours of a child's fever. During a seizure, his eyes may roll back in his head, his body may twitch or jerk, his limbs may stiffen, and he may drool and vomit. The seizure may last only a few seconds or up to several minutes. However, if the seizure lasts for more than 10 minutes or if your child starts choking, stops breathing, or turns blue, call 911 immediately.
If your baby is having a seizure, place him on a protected surface, such as the floor, away from any sharp objects. Lay him on his side or stomach to prevent choking if he does vomit. As hard as it may be to watch, don't try to hold or restrain your child during the seizure and never place anything in a seizing child's mouth as he could choke on it. After the seizure has subsided he may seem a bit sleepy, but many children return to normal activity immediately.
If your child has a seizure, he should be examined by a doctor to ensure the seizure was caused by the fever and not by another condition (such as meningitis or severe dehydration). You should seek immediate medical attention if he has a stiff neck, is extremely lethargic, or continues to vomit. Doctors will test on your child's blood and urine and may perform a spinal tap to determine the cause of the seizure. A child who has a febrile seizure usually doesn't need to be hospitalized; however, if the seizure is prolonged or is accompanied by a serious infection, or if the source of the infection cannot be determined, the doctor may recommend that the child be hospitalized for observation.
Oral anticonvulsant medications have been proven to reduce the risk of a recurrent febrile seizure when given during illness (Phenobarbital and valproate); however, the side effects of these medications may be significant and many pediatricians are hesitant to prescribe them.
Giving a fever reducer, such as Tylenol or Motrin, at the first sign of a fever is often recommended, but has not been proven to prevent a febrile seizure. The only real way to prevent febrile seizures is to avoid colds and the flu that can cause fever, which is no easy task with young children. However, the American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends infants older than 6 months receive a flu shot every autumn, which will help prevent illness.

The Lightning announced Thursday that they will buy out the remaining portion of the center's contract.
"Vinny has been a significant reason for many of our past successes, including the 2004 Stanley Cup, and his contributions to the community are immeasurable," Tampa general manager Steve Yzerman said in a statement. "The Lightning organization is indebted to Vinny; we thank him for all he has done here and we wish him well as he moves forward."
"After much internal deliberation, we believe this will prove to be a pivotal move for us as we strive to achieve our long term goal of competing at the highest level, year-in, year-out," Yzerman said. "The economics and structure of the CBA are necessitating this decision and we at the Lightning are excited at the newly created opportunities this presents to us."
He led the league in scoring with 52 in 2006-07.

A Tribute to Abbey Lincoln at the Kennedy Center
May 23, 2011. Posted by Becca Pulliam.Add new comment | Filed under: abbey lincoln, cassandra wilson, concerts, dee dee bridgewater, dianne reeves, Jazz Alive, JazzSet, Live Music, Terri Lyne Carrington
UPDATE: Read the review from The Washington Post here. Critic Mike Joyce tells you about THE BAND! And there's a good photo. BP
On Friday night at the Mary Lou Williams Festival in Washington, DC, four daughters of Abbey Lincoln (1930-2010) opened her songbook together, for the first time.
This was a dynamic concert, and generous too. More than five hundred people in the Terrace Theater concentrated on the artists onstage concentrating on words and music that came from Abbey Lincoln's own concentration. We felt the loss of her, and newly appreciated the gift she left us.

I can still count to four or more, and I can still recite my 69-times table almost endlessly
Ah, now I see the problem. It is very difficult to remain rigidly at attention to the task at hand when one doing math.

For goat in Webster's, the second meaning among three:
2: a licentious man: LECHER
Well, why do you think they call it a goatee?
But it could be worse, it could be a gnu.

Are you making reference to our former Vice President Ag-new? If so, dear W'ON, I thoroughly agree with you! But please, let's not clean up a perfectly good feelthy thread.

"I offer no sacrifice save to the One true God."
~ Maximus, martyr, saint, about A.D. 250, in answer to the demand of the civil authorities for sacrifice to the pagan gods; a test in common use as belief in a single Godhead was known to be definitive in the early Christian community; thus any Christian might be called on to seal with his blood his faith in the One God. (See: The Blessed Trinity)
