The Detroit Lions will head to the nation's capital this weekend to take on the Washington Redskins, and Reggie Bush's knee injury will cost him a monster game in Week 3.
The team's official Twitter account reported on Friday that Bush returned to practice.
BREAKING: Reggie Bush returns to practice. (With video) #DETvsWAS READ: http://t.co/snDqnJMjDm pic.twitter.com/4oOkDFfDvA— Detroit Lions (@DetroitLionsNFL) September 20, 2013
It's an encouraging sign to see the playmaker back on the practice field, but that doesn't indicate whether or not he will play on Sunday. Even if he does play, the Lions are likely to be cautious with him.
Fantasy owners don't know what to do with the running back, but he would've been an obvious candidate to have a huge game this week.
In his first season with the Lions, Bush has gotten off to a fast start. The 28-year-old ran for 90 yards on 21 carries and caught four passes for 101 yards and a score in the opener. Last week he added 69 total yards on 13 touches.
With seven receptions for 145 yards on the season, Bush trails only Calvin Johnson for the most receiving yards on the team.
Bush has already suffered thumb, groin and knee injuries this season. He has played through the injuries, but his knee problem should handled carefully.
Detroit can afford to take it slow with Bush. Washington's defense has been the worst in the NFL, and the Lions have a capable backup.
Should Reggie Bush play against the Washington Redskins?
Washington has allowed 511.5 total yards and 201 rushing yards per game this season, both of which are nearly 30 yards more than the team directly above it. The Redskins have allowed three rushing touchdowns, which also is tied for the most in the league.
How bad is Washington's run defense? Green Bay had gone 44 regular-season games—dating back to 2010—since a back had run for more than 100 yards in a game. Eddie Lacy, Green Bay's starting running back, left the game with a concussion. James Starks came in and dominated.
Starks ran for 132 yards and a touchdown on only 20 carries, and he added 36 receiving yards.
Green Bay did something that no team had ever done before, according to Paul Imig of FOX Sports Wisconsin.
#Packers became first team in NFL history to have a QB throw for 450-plus yards and have a player rush for 125-plus yards in the same game.— Paul Imig (@Paulimig) September 15, 2013
Matthew Stafford will be looking to hit Johnson and Nate Burleson all day. Joique Bell is a capable replacement for Bush, so Detroit doesn't have to force Bush into the lineup. Bell has 164 total yards and two touchdowns this season.
Bell's presence gives the Lions a multi-purpose back who can hurt Washington. Detroit should be able to move the ball at will this weekend, and Stafford can spread the ball around.
Bush has been an explosive player this year, but the Lions need to use him wisely to keep him healthy. His versatility makes him dangerous when he is on the field, but his knee injury will limit his playing time and keep him from having a monster game in Week 3.

I don't altogether understand your question.
You've put your question in the heading which is why only part of it appears. YOu full question is:
Amniote vertebrates are generally classified into three orders: Reptilia, Ayes (birds), and Mammalia. Of the following, which group of three animals contains one member of each order?
Ostrich, American robin, Norway rat.
Beluga whale, black-footed ferret, box turtle.

A while back I posted an entry to my personal blog soon after I had watched the Scoble MSN Virtual Earth demo on "Channel 9" of Microsoft's Developer Network (MSDN). After watching this demo I came to the realization that Google Maps, as nice as it is, was in for a rude awakening when MSN's Virtual Earth hit the streets.
Was I correct? I'll let you be the judge:
But instead of just assuming I decided to boot into my install of Fedora Core 4 just to make sure MSN didn't have something funny going on behind the scenes.
The result?
See for yourself:
An enlarged view is available here.
For the record, this is an actual screen shot from an actual instance of Firefox running on an instance of Fedora Core 4. How can you know for sure? Well, if I could figure out how to take a full screenshot with toolbars and all, I could show you. Unfortunately, as much as I love the GNOME Desktop [1] I have way too much invested in my Windows dev tool experience to be able to use it as much as I would like. As such I haven't spent the time to figure out all of the details, such as how to take a screenshot of the entire screen as opposed just the active window (alt+PrtScrn works fine and as expected, but nothing else seems to be mapped as it is in Windows... if you happen to know and don't mind leaving a comment with a quick explanation, I'd appreciate it :) But don't take my word for it... Chances are good that if you doubt this to be the actual case, you yourself are running your very own Linux distro with your very own instance of Firefox 1.0.7 (unless you haven't upgraded yet, which if this is the case, you should;)
Ok, so we've established MSN Virtual Earth to be cross-browser/cross-platform - which is another way of saying "No. They haven't blocked out users who are not using Internet Explorer on Microsoft Windows." Definitely a step in the right direction. :)
Just to make sure, lets see how Google does using the same platform/browser combination as above:
Again, here's an enlarged view.
So far so good. Two products, two platforms, two browsers. (Google Maps/MSN Virtual Earth, Windows XP Pro/Fedora Core 4(Linux/GNOME), Internet Explorer 6.0/Firefox 1.0.7, respectively) [NOTE: While I haven't actually taken any screenshots of both of these products running inside of Internet Explorer on a WinXP Pro install, do I really need to? I promise, they both work in IE 6.0 on WinXP Pro (and I'm guessing 'WinXP Home', 'WinXP Media Edition', as well as 'Win2K3', 'Win2K', and any other version of Windows that IE 6.0 runs on - but I'm just guessing ;)]
Same shot, this time with the added explanation that this is a shot from above of my apartment complex in downtown Salt Lake City, UT, USA [NOTE: This is with the zoom cranked to as high as it would go.]:
Again, an enlarged view is available here.
Not too shabby. And in some ways, a little scary just how close and how clear of a shot this is. But I'll let the conspiracy theorists who believe that such closeness and clarity means something all together different than a *REALLY NICE CAMERA* used onboard a *REALLY NICE SATELLITE* (or potentially a non-orbital aircraft of some sort) deal with that angle... I'm not that kind of conspiracy theorist (I only dabble in such things from time to time, the "weekend warrior version who's missed a few seasons yet still thinks he can ride 'just like he used to!'" kind of conspiracy theorist if you will. NOTE: If you have no clue what I just said... Ummm... I don't know what to tell ya... ask a friend maybe?)
Alright, now lets take a look again at Google Maps offering (again, this is a shot from above of my apartment complex in downtown Salt Lake City, UT, USA with the zoom cranked to as high as it would go.]:
One more time, here's an enlarged view.
Just so you can delete this from the list of possibilities, no this is not an image of a petrie dish experiment gone bad. This is the same apartment complex taken from maximum zoom from within Google Maps.
I would go on, but I like Google too much as a company to want to take this any further than it needs to go... you've seen the images, I'll let you judge which one you believe to be of better quality.
I think I'm going to save the features bit of this piece for another post as I haven't had enough time yet to really get a feel for all the features made available from MSN Virtual Earth. This, of course, would include any and all access to MSN Virtual Earth exposed via an API, something I know exists, but am unsure what all is made available as I haven't played with it yet. Suffice it to say I plan to and will report back once I have.
Until then, enjoy!
[QUICK-UPDATE: To avoid confusion Google Maps and Google Earth are two separate projects. While it may seem that the proper comparison should be between Google Earth and MSN Virtual Earth, this is not the case. While Google Earth provides a much improved experience the codebase, formerly known as Keyhole which was purchased by Google, runs exclusively on Windows 2000 and Windows XP. As far as I know there is no webified version of Google Earth and as a result the product doesn't qualify for the cross-browser, cross-platform nature of this post.
My apologies for not clarifying this point ahead of time.
In regards to the follow-up piece: I am currently researching what has turned into a fairly lengthy list of extensions that have already been developed for MSNs' Virtual Earth using the available API and associated "run-time" (Dare has a nice teaser piece from a few days ago.) Of course Google Maps has similar capabilities with the added benefit of being first to market. As such, they too have an impressive list of extensions utilizing the API they have made available. All-in-all (and with my Mapping Hacks and Web Mapping Illustrated titles in hand) this should lend well to a nice follow-up piece showcasing the strenths and weaknesses of both, with the final result bringing a better understanding as to which product makes the most sense for your particular projects needs.
And we haven't even touched Yahoo! yet :)]
[UPDATE(2005.10.04 15:52 MST): As mentioned in my follow-up comment to 'rlgura' I have added two(2) images to the wiki I created in response to this post. You can access both of them via:
Hotchkiss, CO (via Google Maps)
Hotchkiss, CO (via MSN Virtual Earth)
If you take a look at these images you will note that just as 'rlgura' made note, the clarity (and overall quality) of the MSN Virtual Earth image compared to the Google Maps version of the same area is pretty significant.
I guess you could argue that Google Maps version is in color. But when your'e trying to explain to your Aunt Bertha "our house is just to the left of the baseball field in >> "this >> [link to Google Maps || MSN Virtual Earth] << image" << I doubt much Aunt Bertha cares if the Google Maps version is in color... she's not going to understand what you mean.
Now maybe you don't like Aunt Bertha all that much anyways and would prefer that she didn't stop by on her "venture to 'SEE THE WORLD!'". If this is the case, I would probably choose Google Maps color version over the MSN VE black-and-white offering.
[DISCLAIMER: Usage of this advice is made on and by your own free will. If, because of my 'advice', Aunt Bertha decides to exclude you from her will... I'm not taking responsibility! :D]
[UPDATE(2005.10.04 16:29 MST): As per the original comment from 'rlgura' I have added images of Cleveland, OH to the same wiki. The links are as follows:
View of Cleveland, OH from Google Maps centered at or about St. Claire Ave NE and E. 9th St

Cost of Quality Data Transfer
Many quality providers that I know sell transfer for around .10 per GB. From Rackspace to Linode to Amazon, they are all in that ballpark.
Obviously at some point, when your buying a semi or dedicated server, you would expect that cost to start dropping down.
One name that I have heard good reviews of is 100TB.com. It seems rather unbelievable that they would be able to sell their transfer at 1/50th of the cost of other major providers. It seems hard to believe that they can give all that transfer for so little cost.
Is it just once you get into that price range of over a couple hundred a month that you start seeing more significant breaks in transfer costs?
Are there any reputable, quality providers with a CDN, VPS, or even higher end shared that have a much lower price point on transfer?
I'm look for some more transfer for a project, and am not sure what direction I need to go; if going up to someone like 100tb is really my only choice, or if their are some other options that can get my bandwidth cost down lower without being at the dedicated server level.

cost of bandwidth on a per GB / actual usage basis is a drastically different model to that of included bandwidth transfer allowances with other services (dedicated servers etc).
For example, for every 100 servers sold at 100TB.com you could likely see actual usage of 250TB and so on. the higher the volume and the lower the usage spread over time, the less of an impact caused by peak usage on their own bandwidth commit.█ Perigee Global Corporation

You are going to see dramatic price improvements as you move from a per GB bandwidth service to a service with a monthly allotment of bandwidth.
Clearly 100TB.com doesn't expect all of their customers (or even a slim portion) to use up all of their alloted bandwidth. You can find all sorts of crazy deals on bandwidth, but it's important to read reviews and get a sense for how well they're managing their bandwidth load. I'd be curious to see what the MRTG graphs of their uplinks look like.██ AVAILHOSTING.COM - The Hosting Specialists. 99.9% Uptime Money Back Guarantee.

Punkt 07 - Kristiansand, Norway - Day One, August 29, 2007
Returning to the town of Kristiansand, Norway is more like a homecoming than a holiday (or work). That's because, unlike so many other festivals, Punkt is as much about community and relationship as it is music. It's hard to imagine a festival like Punkt taking place anywhere other than Kristiansand, situated at the southernmost tip of the country, and a strikingly beautiful place under any circumstances. Still, with the reputation of Punkt increasing every year, it is also becoming a brand of sorts, and will take place in London, England in 2008.
The coastline of Kristiansand is stunning, with modernistic homes and apartment buildings sharing space with sculptures, restaurants, shops and docks. There's a rich sense of culture, and a feeling of openness that's in direct contrast to most towns of a similar size in North America. Which makes it the ideal place for Punkt, now in its third yearthe brainchild of Jan Bang and Erik Honoré, two producer/sample/remix artists who are well-known for groundbreaking work in sonic landscaping with artists ranging from trumpeter Nils Petter Molvær to David Sylvian.
Punkt's fundamental premise is "live remix." Punkt's audience alternates between live performances in the 500-seat theatre at the town's Agder Theatre, and the 250-seat Alpha Room, where music just heard has been recorded and is presented as a remix immediately afterwards, with other musicians interacting with those remixes in real time. Technology is a key component of Punkt, but what makes it most remarkablewhether it's a first encounter between Bang and British pianist Joanna MacGregor, a collaboration with the Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra, trumpeter Arve Henriksen and Bang, or a performance by classical soprano group Trio Mediaevalis how organic, how integrated it all is. For anyone who doesn't believe that there's room for samplers, turntables and electronic processing in musicjazz or otherwiseone trip to Punkt is all that's necessary to become a true believer.
Is Punkt a jazz festival? Not really, although improvisation and the sound of surprise is fundamental. And there are artists associated with jazz, in the broadest of terms, who perform at the festival. But with classical musicians on the same bill as singers commonly associated with traditional British folk music, the only word that can be used to describe the music heard at this festival is, indeed, Punkt. Punkt, Norwegian for point, is all about breaking down barriers, rather than erecting new ones in an expansive musical continuum that stands in defiance of simplistic categorization.
As outstanding as Punkt 06 was, Punkt 07's line-up is even more diverse, more adventurous. Many of last year's main stage performers and Norwegian stalwarts are strictly involved in Alpha Room remixes this yearMolvær, guitarist Eivind Aarset, singer Sidsel Endresen, keyboardist/producer Bugge Wesseltoft and, of course, Bang and Honoré. There's a larger contingent of non-Norwegians involved with Punkt this year, including the German Kammerflimmer Kollektief, British guitarist/soundscapist Robin Guthrie, British singer June Tabor and American trumpeter/soundscapist Jon Hassellan artist who, in many ways, set the stage for Molvær and Henriksen's experiments in expanding the sonic potential of their instruments. Chapter Index Punkt Kunst
Punkt is also about growth and expansion into new areas of artistic expression. Punkt Kunst is a unique and innovative collaboration with the town's Sørlandet Art Museum. Thirteen international artistsall known to Punkt audiencesplus one winner of a web-based remix contesthave been commissioned to create sound sculptures inspired and in direct collaboration with a series of visual works at the museum.
Punkt Kunst opened the evening of August 29, 2007, one day prior to the main festival, which runs August 30 through September 1, providing a brief peak/listen to some of the works, which will be on display at Sørlandet throughout the festival run. With only an hour to look around prior to Jon Hassell's pre-festival performance of his experimental piece "Solid State," it became abundantly clear that much more time will be required to absorb Punkt Kunst.
Still, from a room where a collection of dolls are heard in chaotic conversation with each other to more soothing ambient landscapes, even a short look at the exhibition demonstrates, once again, how Punkt continues to reinvent what music is and can be, and how it's possible to integrate music naturally with other art forms to create something fresh and unprecedented.
Jon Hassell"Solid State"
While he is perhaps better-known for his reinvention of the aural possibilities of the trumpet, and for groundbreaking recordings including Fourth World Vol. 1: Possible Musics (EG, 1979), Fourth World Vol. 2: Dream Theory in Malaya (EG, 1980) and City: Works of Fiction (Opal, 1990), Jon Hassell actually began his musical career in the company of minimalist composers like La Monte Young and Terry Riley. One of his earliest compositions, "Solid State," has been performed less than a dozen times since its inception in 1969, and with Hassell, in collaboration with Jan Bang, Punkt audiences were privileged to experience the piece.
And an experience it was. Starting abruptly with a loud, dense drone of clustered notes originally created with Moog oscillators that, while consonant, possessed nothing in the way of melody or immediately inherent rhythm or change, Hassell and Bang each used voltage-controlled filters to continually work with the sound, creating interlacing pulses, shifts in sonics around the room and harmonic variations. Programmed filtering was also taking place, so as the sound moved around them and the audience, Bang and Hassell interacted with the program and with each other. Improvisation not in the conventional sense but improvisation nonetheless, and an experience that, while too invasive to be considered ambient, was hypnotic in its own way.
The 45-minute piece was accompanied by very gradual shifts in the lighting of the room, which was largely filled with black light. The audience sat in the center of the room on the floor (with pillows provided by Punkt that featured artistic designs from the festival), with speakers in each of the hall's four corners. Bang and Hassell worked almost invisibly underneath an odd sculpture of neon tubing, the only real sign of activity being Bang's characteristic physical movement to the rhythmic pulses that emerged through the manipulation of the filters. Ending nearly as abruptly as it began, with an almost silent coda recorded in Hassell's back yard in 1979 and the black light replaced by a soft white, Hassell then addressed the audience, providing considerable illumination about "Solid State." He described the music in visual terms, as a black page where form is created by subtracting from the full spectrum. The initial sonic blast was, in fact, a series of tones tuned in perfect fifths, so that no matter what was omitted, the resulting sound was always consonant. And as different pulses emerged, interacting with other pulses and then dissolving, the piece took on a greater arc that, while not something one might listen to outside the context of a performance like this, was ultimately involving and captivating.
With the dense layer of tones, Hassell quoted La Monte Young by describing the experience as "vertical listening" and "listening in the present tense," when there's nothing to anticipate, nor is there anything in the way of melody to move the piece along in a horizontal fashion. But by moving around the room or even moving one's head, it's possible to alter what one hearschoosing, in effect, what to hear. He also defined minimalism as one or more parameters that change while one or more others stay the same. It was a succinct but effective way to describe the works of artists including Riley, Young, Philip Glass and Steve Reich.
However, Hassell went on to explain how this kind of music is paradoxical for him, its cerebral qualities in contrast with the shape his career has taken since. The push and pull of north and south, head and heart (and body) are all factors that have driven his work, especially in his subsequent exploration of visceral rhythms with futuristic textures. While nothing like his Fourth World series, "Solid State" is, in fact, not completely out of context, despite its verging on a kind of intellectual conceit that Hassell has since rejected in pursuit of greater color and forward motion. For Punkt audiences, it was a rare opportunity to experience minimalism as it was often heard in New York City lofts in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Oh I got the horizontal asymptotes. it is -18 and 18. now for the other two problems...
Hey everyone.
Somehow I do not know how to do this? I keep getting the wrong answers. If someone can show me or tell me what steps to take that would be great!
also please try to do it using limits instead of derivatives. On the exams, the teacher will take off points if we use derivative methods.
The horizontal asymptotes of the curve
The first thing one would try is to just put x= 9/8. Of course, that doesn't work here (it never does for interesting problems) but it shows where the problem is- the denominator becomes 0 while the numerator does not. Now, what happens if x is very close to 9/8 but just slightly less? You can answer that by actually putting in such a number. 9/8= 1.125 so what happens if x= 1.120? In that case, the numerator is -22x= -24.26 and the denominator is 9- 8(1.120)= 9- 8.96= .04. -24.26/.04= -606.5. In other words, the fraction itself is a very large negative number- since the denominator is going to 0 and the numerator isn't, the limit will be "negative infinity". You could also do that by recognizing that . If x is less than 9/8, the quantity in the parentheses, is negative so is the product of two negative numbers and so is negative. Since the numerator, -22x, is also negative, the fraction is negative and the limit is negative infinity. For x greater than 9/8, is positive so that the denominator is negative and the fraction is the quotient of two negative numbers. The fraction is positive so the limit is positive infinity.
For multiply by the fraction then do thesame thing.and
The horizontal asymptotes of the curve
The horizontal asymptotes of the curve are, of course, the values of y as x goes to plus or minus infinity. I recommend that you divide both numerator and denominator by x. That way the numerator is the constant 18. What happens in the denominator?

Well, Thanksgiving is over. The table is cleared and everything�s gone except the leftovers. You know what that means, don�t you? I know what it means in my house. It means Christmas time is in full swing. Miranda loves Christmastime. For years, if it was up to her, we would have the Christmas tree up year round. As a matter of fact, that was one of the negotiation points we had to work out before we got married. We agreed that the tree and the decorations would not go up until after Thanksgiving. And by New Years Day they were gone. So I guess you know what we were doing after Thanksgiving dinner was finished. Nothing quite compares to stringing out Christmas decorations with an overstuffed belly full of Thanksgiving dinner. But when the tree and the decorations come out, that�s when the kids start to get excited. They get even more excited when the packages start appearing under the tree. We have a tradition where everybody tries to guess what their presents are. Sometimes that can get you in trouble. I remember one time when I was growing up that there was a package under the tree that I was just sure was this toy that I really wanted. I was sure of it. The box was just the right size. It was the right shape. It even weighed the same. I had hoped for that toy ever since I saw it in the catalogue. And now the only thing between me and it was some paper and a box. And then Christmas came. I tore into that box like a dog after raw meat. But it wasn�t what I thought it was. It wasn�t what I had been hoping for. As I remember it was something a whole lot better. It was something I hadn�t even asked for because I thought there was no way I would get it. In a way, I didn�t get what I had hoped for. But in another way, I got so much more than I hoped for. So many times that�s the way our relationship with Jesus is. We can lay out all the things we hope for in life and ask Jesus for them. There are a lot of false prophets out there today that will tell you that�s what Jesus does. They�ll tell you that Jesus is there to grant your wishes and give you all the things on your wish list. And many times when we hear things like that, that�s where we place our hope. Sadly, we place our hope in getting the things on our wish list. Now granted, the things on that wish list can be good things. You can be asking for your health. You can be asking for a good job. You can be asking for a new house. You can be asking for all kinds of good things. And you should pray and ask God about those things. But is that where your hope is? Is your hope in getting a better job? Is your hope in getting a new house or car? Is your hope even in getting better health? If those are the things your placing your hope in, you might be disappointed. You might not get what you�re asking for. But you know what? If your hope is in Jesus, you�ll get something a whole lot better. The hope that Jesus gives is greater than the greatest job. The

WEDNESDAY, Nov. 23 (HealthDay News) -- High school students are consuming far fewer fruits and vegetables than are recommended for optimal health, according to research published in the Nov. 25 issue of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Morbidity & Mortality Weekly Report.
Sonia A. Kim, Ph.D., of the CDC in Atlanta, and colleagues analyzed data from the 2010 National Youth Physical Activity and Nutrition Study to assess the status of fruit and vegetable consumption among high school students.
The researchers found that high school students consumed both fruits and vegetables a median of 1.2 times per day in 2010. More than a quarter of students consumed fruit less than once a day, and about a third of students consumed vegetables less than once a day.
"The infrequent fruit and vegetable consumption by high school students highlights the need for effective strategies to increase consumption. Policy and environmental approaches to provide greater access to and availability of fruits and vegetables are among the strategies that schools and communities might choose to achieve this goal," the authors write.

Josh Weisberg and I just finished a draft of a paper that my wife likes to call "Avenue Q Materialism" but Josh and I call "Type-Q Materialism" [link to draft].
Here's a chunk:
As Gibson (1982) correctly points out, despite Quine's brief flirtation with a "mitigated phenomenalism" (Gibson's phrase) in the late 1940's and early 1950's, Quine's ontology of 1953 ("On Mental Entities") and beyond left no room for non-physical sensory objects or qualities. Anyone familiar with the contemporary neo-dualist qualia-freak-fest might wonder why Quinean lessons were insufficiently transmitted to the current generation. Chalmers (1996a, 2003a) has been a prominent member of the neo-dualists, though he does not leave Quine unmentioned. Neo-dualist arguments proceed by inferring from an epistemic gap between the physical and the phenomenal to an ontological gap between the physical and the phenomenal. Chalmers sorts various materialist responses to these arguments as follows: Type-A materialism denies that there's any epistemic gap in the first place. Type-B materialism accepts that there is an epistemic gap, but denies that the epistemic gap entails any ontological gap. Type-C materialism is like type-B materialism except it thinks the epistemic gap in question is only temporary. Type-Q materialism (Q for "Quine"), according to Chalmers (2003a), rejects the kinds of distinctions needed to formulate both the neo-dualist arguments and the type-A , type-B, and type-C materialist responses to them. Such rejected distinctions include the conceptual vs. the empirical, the a priori vs. the a posteriori, and the contingent vs. the necessary. Chalmers (2003a, 123) charges Type-Q materialism with being incapable of avoiding the problems alleged to arise for the types from earlier in the alphabet. The aim of the current paper is to argue the contrary point that Quineans are inoculated against these so-called problems. We spell out how Quinean allegiance to holism and pragmatic criteria for ontic commitment protect Type-Q materialism from the complaints of the qualia-freaks.

Program offers inmate mothers time with childrencomment (0)
January 3, 2008
It's not quite light this December morning, and a ballerina wearing a puffy pink coat dances on the sidewalk in front of the Hardee's in Priceville.
Montravia Watkins, 8, skips and twirls, turning back to her grandmother and big brother to point out that the white van is coming.
Montravia climbs aboard and smiles shyly at twin sisters Latisha and Lateefah Cawthorn as she moves into the back seat. Her 14-year-old brother, Chris, follows her.
Montravia sits down and bounces a little, as happy as any little girl going to a Christmas party.
Only this party is in a prison.
The prison where her mama has lived for as long as Montravia can remember.
One Saturday a month, volunteers from six local churches take children on the 420-mile round-trip to the Julia Tutwiler Prison, Alabama's main facility for women near Montgomery. A nonprofit organization, Aid to Inmate Mothers (AIM), arranges for crafts and a meal for the children to share with their mothers. It's the only three hours they are allowed to see one another each month.
"This is a good thing," says Montravia's grandmother, Emma Jean Cohen, 62, as she settles into her seat with an old woman's soft groan. "They take us down, and we don't have to pay. You know how it is. We don't have that much."
Cohen pauses to snap her seat belt.
"We probably wouldn't get to go if we had to pay."
Cohen, a widow, works as a home health aide while Montravia and her brother are in school. She wonders how many years her daughter, Tracy Cohen, 31, will have to serve. She wonders how many years she herself has left.
Tracy Cohen was sentenced to 20 years when Montravia was 3 for shooting and wounding a woman who had fired a shot into her house. "She should have left it to the police," Emma Jean Cohen says. "But it do seem like a long time. Maybe she can get time off for good behavior."
In the van's back seat, Montravia, who says she likes math, tries to count on her fingers how many years her mother has left to serve. She runs out of fingers. Even on her second try.
Jan Mackenzie has been volunteering with the program through her church in Huntsville for about a year, and this is her third trip. A retired registered nurse, she thinks the ministry a perfect fit for her own lack of abilities, as she tells it.
"I consider myself reasonably lazy and not creative," Mackenzie says. "So when I see something I can do, I think I should do it."
Mackenzie looks at Latisha and Lateefah, who have fallen asleep with their heads together.
"There's just certain people that I think need some help."
Corrections officer Virginia Brown meets the van as it pulls in front of Tutwiler Prison. A brusque Santa, she carries presents in large black garbage bags for the children, issuing them with impersonal efficiency as the children step off.
Carol Potok, the executive director of AIM, urges the children to line up with their packages for a picture. She angles them so that the prison's high wire fence is not visible in the background. AIM volunteers print the photos on a portable printer so the inmates and children each have that souvenir of the visit.
"Smile," Potok urges the children. "I'm seeing some solemn faces."
The children and teenagers file in quietly in the shadow of the guard tower and go directly to a small chapel building. Even the babies, carried by their guardians, are silent.
Their mothers have been waiting inside for more than an hour. They come in early to move chairs and set up tables to get ready for the visit. Brown volunteers to work the visit shift every month because she thinks the program is important. Also it gives her the opportunity to watch the women with their children and do what she can to let them be mothers, at least for that morning.
"We make them work to see their kids," Brown says. "It's their responsibility to set it up."
Inside, children greet their moms with everything from big hugs from the little ones to diffident nods from the teens. They move to the toys and games brought in by AIM volunteers to find their favorites.
Brown says inmates know that misbehavior could result in their not being able to have that visit. "It keeps them out of trouble," Brown says. "They want that visit."
"I've not been in trouble once since I've been here because I want to go home," Tracy Cohen says as she sets out the pieces of a game to play with Montravia and Chris. "I don't really have anybody but my mom and my kids."
Cohen has earned a cosmetology certificate since she's been in. She works as a hairdresser in the prison. Her mother's hairdresser has agreed to give her a chair in her shop and supervise her when she gets out.
Nearby, Montravia notices that volunteers have laid out the makings for cookie decorating. Her mother leads the children to the table where they can spread frosting with spoons — even plastic knives are not allowed in prison — and decorate the cookies.
Near the cookie table, Latisha and Lateefah, 15, sit knee-to-knee with their mother, Georgia Cawthorn. They chatter happily, complaining about teachers and updating her about their high school ROTC unit.
And they let her know the man she was arrested with when she was caught selling marijuana has already been released, even though he had a prior record. She rolls her eyes and shakes her head. She has nothing to say to that.
It's not unusual for a woman to be sentenced to a longer term than a man is for the same crime, Potok says. AIM and other groups have been trying to change state sentencing laws to achieve greater gender parity.
"I think society has more of a sense of outrage if a woman commits a crime," Potok says.
Cawthorn reaches to smooth Lateefah's hair back to her scalp. They should have done a little more with their hair, she says, sounding like any mother of teenage daughters. She worries that Latisha has gotten too skinny. She worries that Lateefah has gained weight.
"They're real well-mannered, and they listen," Cawthorn says, smiling at the daughters she had when she was 13. "I've never had any trouble out of them."
"And you'll never have no trouble out of us," Latisha says, squeezing her mother's hand. (RNS)

Asia Pacific Baptist Federation
The Asia Pacific Baptist Federation (APBF) is a regional organization of the Baptist World Alliance, a worldwide fellowship of churches that subscribe to Baptist distinctives. The APBF was formed in the then British colony of Hong Kong in 1973 as the Asian Baptist Federation (ABF).[1] It adopted its current name in 2007 after a resolution was approved during the ABF Congress held in the city of Chiang Mai, Thailand from 2 May to 6 May 2007.[2]
Brief history in Asia and the Pacific[edit]
|Part of a series on
|Baptist portal
One of the earliest Protestant missionaries to Asia was an English Baptist named William Carey who was one of the founders of the Particular Baptist Society for Propagating the Gospel among the Heathen (today known as BMS World Mission) in 1792.[3][4] He started his work in the Dutch controlled Serampore north of Calcutta, India in 1793, initially focussing on Bible translation, preaching, teaching, and the founding of schools. One of the major schools established by this mission is Serampore College, founded in 1818.
Other pioneers include Joshua Marshman and William Ward who together with Carey became known as the Serampore Trio.[5] Of the three, Ward was instrumental in converting American Congregationalist missionary, Adoniram Judson, to Baptist beliefs and baptised both Judson and his wife, Ann Haseltine Judson, in Serampore.[6]
Judson later began Baptist missionary work in Burma on 13 July 1813 upon his arrival in Rangoon.[7] Today most countries in Asia have Baptist believers and churches.
The APBF represents almost 60 Baptist denominations (known as conventions or unions) from 20 different countries, encompassing almost 30,000 congregations with more than 5 million baptized believers.[2] The single largest member of the APBF is the Myanmar Baptist Convention which claims more than 1.1 million baptized believers.[2][8]

The Sea is my "forest." And it never fails to restore.
My husband and I live in Gold Country California where there is plenty of nature for walks and contemplation. We recently lost both our mothers and we miss them terribly.
Even when woods aren't handy, just walking outside re-energizes me and untangles the cobwebs in my brain, turning them into silken threads of prose.
An excellent idea, this. I have 75 acres of Upper Midwest forest less than a dozen steps from my studio door and I venture there frequently. And yet I really miss my 10 years in Manhattan and cannot wait for my next week of renewal there. From a creative standpoint, the bath is where one takes it.
Hi Elliot. Here in Wellington NZ we are blessed with many open spaces and bush walks very close to the city. I often go with my small dog and feel totally refreshed after only a few minutes in the bush. I feel the energy in the trees and bush being reflected into me. Thanks for sharing this idea with us.
Here we are, settling toward deepest winter.
Roses were red, violets blue,
the coming school bus yellow
as we began to tune the dampers
and violin keys of our stoves.
News of the world
feels like ONE from here: the treadle
of our neighbor horse's lip,
Manhattan's tongue in the bay,
the now-hidden ever-landing housefly,
the chipmunk's lockstep attention
at the bird feeder,
the flow of art and
Henry Braun, OWS (Occupy Wilderness Singer)
Being born in Indiana,I have always loved trees and felt drawn to them. They make my soul sigh and absorb life's sourness. Elliot, you should try walking among the redwoods in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California. I lived surrounded by them for several years and never felt so free.

Charlie Sheen Apologizes To Jon Cryer And Others, Could Be Giving Last Interviews
Is Charlie Sheen slowing down? The former Two and a Half Men star has been apologizing in his latest radio interviews - which could be his last, as well!
Sheen apologized to former co-star Jon Cryer, whom he called a "troll" in previous publications. "I'll apologize to Jon right now," he said in an interview with K-EARTH 101. "It's a little bit of a half-apology. An Apol."
On Dan Patrick's radio show, Charlie apologized to both John Stamos and Rob Lowe. He bashed the two actors after is was rumored that they could replace him on Two and a Half Men. Sheen said of Lowe, "He's a buddy of mine, he's a beautiful man, a brilliant actor, and I hope he does it and kicks its ass because I still get [paid]."
He also said on the radio show, "This could be my final interview," before amending it with "I won't do any interviews except you. How about that?"

Supermarkets are appealing to the green consumer with eco-friendly housewares products and storewide environmental themes
The green trend is no longer a trend, it's a movement, and housewares is the latest product category innovating to keep up. Manufacturers are working to reduce or remove harmful chemicals and increase the use of organic, renewable and recycled materials. Retailers are scooping up the resulting products for the eco-conscious consumer.

DALLAS (AP) - A state judge in Austin left intact Tuesday a $32 million jury verdict against Farmers Insurance Group that found the insurance company mishandled a Dripping Springs family's toxic mold claims.
A Travis County jury had found Farmers Insurance guilty of fraud and bad faith in June in the handling of the water and mold claim involving a 22-room Southern mansion in the Hill Country.
"This is a victory for homeowners," said Melinda Ballard, whose home was damaged. She accused Farmers Insurance of allowing mold to ravage the home because the company refused to properly fix a water leak.
"This was a verdict that penalized a major insurance company for fraudulently and knowingly deceiving their customers," she said in a story in today's editions of The Dallas Morning News.
The lawsuit was filed against Fire Insurance Exchange, a subsidiary of Farmers Insurance Group.
The decision will be appealed, said Bill Miller, a spokesman for Farmers Insurance.
"Farmers handled all aspects of this claim appropriately. Our job is to provide our customers with the resources to make the necessary repairs when they file a claim," Miller said.
Ballard and her husband, Ron Allison, said they had to leave their home in 1999 after black mold made the home uninhabitable.

- Conference date: 29 September–4 October 2009
- Location: Rhodes, Greece
Performance of a number of commonly used density functional methods in chemistry (B3LYP, Bhandh, BP86, PW91, VWN, LB94, PBe0, SAOP and X3LYP and the Hartree-Fock (HF) method) has been assessed using orbital momentum distributions of the 7σ orbital of nitrous oxide (NNO), which models electron behaviour in a chemically significant region. The density functional methods are combined with a number of Gaussian basis sets (Pople's 6-31G*, 6-311G**, DGauss TZVP and Dunning's aug-cc-pVTZ as well as even-tempered Slater basis sets, namely, et-DZPp, et-QZ3P, et-QZ+5P and et-pVQZ). Orbital momentum distributions of the 7σ orbital in the ground electronic state of NNO, which are obtained from a Fourier transform into momentum space from single point electronic calculations employing the above models, are compared with experimental measurement of the same orbital from electron momentum spectroscopy (EMS). The present study reveals information on performance of (a) the density functional methods, (b) Gaussian and Slater basis sets, (c) combinations of the density functional methods and basis sets, that is, the models, (d) orbital momentum distributions, rather than a group of specific molecular properties and (e) the entire region of chemical significance of the orbital. It is found that discrepancies of this orbital between the measured and the calculated occur in the small momentum region (i.e. large r region). In general, Slater basis sets achieve better overall performance than the Gaussian basis sets. Performance of the Gaussian basis sets varies noticeably when combining with different Vxc functionals, but Dunning's augcc-pVTZ basis set achieves the best performance for the momentum distributions of this orbital. The overall performance of the B3LYP and BP86 models is similar to newer models such as X3LYP and SAOP. The present study also demonstrates that the combinations of the density functional methods and the basis sets indeed make a difference in the quality of the calculated orbitals.

Comments: These shoes are awesome. I had a terrible case of shin splints. I tried every conceivable therapy including rest, NSAID's, high dose Prednisone, walking boot for a month, physical therapy, acupuncture, all to no avail. I spent the whole summer doing nothing and still had pain. I saw a review about these shoes and how they helped someone else so I figured what did I have to lose. Within 2 days I saw a tremendous improvement and now just over a week later I'm back doing my workouts all with no pain. I won't take these off. I wear them to work. It's unbelievable. I'm going to order a couple more pairs.
From: Alan, Columbus, OH
Comments: I have been running on Kayanos for over 15 years ..... I have gone through two pairs of the 18's ..... Good performance but for soem reason the quality of the material is not what it use to be... after just one month on both shoes the inside line at the heel disintegrated ..... never happened before.
From: Chris, Ridgefield Ct
Comments: I have the Kayano 18 and am very happy with them after about 1 month. (run about 30 mi per week, 59 years old, 150 lbs). Stable, lots of cushioning, supportive. I did not realize how bad my last shoes were until I tried these. I had to order a half size larger than past New Balance shoes.
From: John
Comments: Awesome shoe! I weigh about 275 and am new to regular running (obviously). I have been doing 2.5 miles almost every day for the last couple of weeks wearing some old garbage shoes. Bad idea. I had no clue that shoes mattered regarding gait and it left me with a brutal case of sore heels and what I learned was plantar fasciitis being the severely flat-footed overpronator that I am. Right out of the box, I did my longest and fastest run yet and my feet feel fine now the next day for the first time in a while. I'm an Asics fan, and this seems to be the best of 5 shoes they currently offer for someone with very flat feet (Kayano, 3030, 2170, Evolution and Foundation according to their website). I'm in love. I thought about trying the Brooks Beast if these didn't offer all the support I needed but so far so good, and they look much better to me. I measure at and have worn a 12 all my life, but ordered 12 and 12.5 in these and kept the 12.5. They feel a lot more comfortable in the toebox and actually moved with my foot through its range of motion, the 12 felt cramped in the toes and stiff. Order these a half size bigger than you measure and you'll be in foot heaven. Runningwarehouse.com had the best price on them too that I could find. Thanks so much!

We're crazy over Blizzard's upcoming RTS and action-RPG projects StrarCraft II and Diablo III--crazy enough to think that Blizzard would release them simultaneously. But, after reading Blizzard executive Rob Pardo's interview with Wired regarding the release of Diablo III, our idea was just...crazy.
When asked about Diablo III's release, Pardo replied first with, "when it's ready," but added, "We have a lot of development ahead of us before it will be something ... It will definitely be out after StarCraft II". The highly anticipated RTS sequel will be released as a trilogy.
StarCraft II and Diablo III will be available for the PC and Macintosh platforms.

Next LGM-Dairy policy sale is July 26
The next Livestock Gross Margin-Dairy (LGM-Dairy) sales period begins Friday afternoon, July 26, according to Alan Zepp, Risk Management Program coordinator with Pennsylvania's Center for Dairy Excellence. LGM-Dairy will be offered for sale by crop insurance agents, with producers eligible to purchase margin insurance for a 10-month period (September 2013 to June of 2014), or any combination of months during that period.
Reviewing market fundamentals and conditions in his monthly "Protecting Your Profits" conference call, Zepp said current default milk and feed prices indicate insurable margins for the 10-month period are above the actual average margins for the same 10-month period over the past five years.
The September 2013-June 2013 average of expected margins ($0.00 deductible policy) is $14.38/cwt., $2.22/cwt. above the five-year average actual margin of $12.16/cwt. The three-year average margin (2010-2012) for the September-June period was $13.72/cwt. Current futures market prices project all 10 months would have an indemnity payment.
The premium for a $0 deductible policy to insure a $14.38/cwt. margin is estimated at 51¢/cwt. (11¢/cwt. to insure a $13.38/cwt. margin for a $1 deductible policy). About 15%-20% of fiscal year 2013 USDA Risk Management Agency LGM-Dairy underwriting capacity remains for the next sales period.
Zepp noted uncertainty surrounding the 2013 Farm Bill leaves the future of the Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) program up in the air. MILC is currently is due to expire in September 2013. With that uncertainty, LGM-Dairy currently provides a very low-cost way to guarantee cash flow for the first half of 2014, he said.
"Protecting Your Profits" information and a recorded podcast are now posted at http://centerfordairyexcellence.org/protecting-your-profits/. The website also adjusts LGM-Dairy estimated margins weekly, based on updated futures prices. For further information, producers can contact Zepp at firstname.lastname@example.com or phone 717-346-0849.
Coming up in August, the next PYP conference call/webinar will be held Aug. 28, with the LGM-Dairy sales period set for Aug. 30.

IMPACT 2009 notes
By dkumar on May 30, 2009
It's been really busy since I came back from IMPACT 2009. It was a great event. Since then I have busy working on few stuffs for JavaOne and CommunityOne.
The opening ceremony was great and Billy Crystal was really hilarious.
As usual every company does some launches during these event and IBM followed the tradition by putting up "WebSphere Cloud Brust". It was quite confusing to lot of people including me but when I stopped by the Cloud Brust booth I got fair bit of idea about what it is and how it can provide the value add although I expected the booth demo to be live but is wasn't the case.
Lot of session has talked by processor advancement, memory placement, bus speed and what not..During these there were numerous references to Sun Ultra SPARC T2 line of processor which leads the multi-core revolution. You might have got different perspective of different speaker on this but if you have used it you know the power, processing and power efficiency included, of these systems. If you haven't tried your hand then do and know it for yourself.
I expected this to be on linux/xen combo but surprisingly it was based on VMWare hypervisor that was very interesting. Similar deployment toplogy can be achieved using no additional technology overhead with Solaris such zones/container or if you are ready to try your hands on OpenSolaris you can use xen. Remember OpenSolaris has tool to get your VMWare images working on OpenSolaris.
Here are few important pictures I took.

Identified as Prorocentrum gambierdiscus by original source; identified as Diplopsalis or Zygabikodinium by Dean Jacobson.
Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the dinoflagellate, Prorocentrum gambierdiscus. Prorocentrum species produce okadaic acid, which is associated with diarrheic shellfish poisoning (DSP). Dinoflagellates are unicellular protozoans. About 90% are found in marine environments as plankton. They are characterised by the presence of two flagella (not visible). One flagellum beats back and forth, while the other is flat and ribbon- like, and works as a rudder to steer and rotate the organism. (via)

I have large pores on my nose area (especially in the center not so much at the side) and it is very ugly.. It looks like a strawberry. So, when I google the problem, one of the medical procedures it says to minimize the appearance of large pores is laser treatment. So what kind of laser treatment is best to minimize the large pores. What is the procedure like. How long before I see results? Thank you.
Will Laser Treatments Minimize my Large Pores?
Doctor Answers 3
CO2 Laser Resurfacing, IPL for large pores
When you say strawberry, is your nose red as well? There are a couple of ways to approach this condition. First, let me say that the size of pores are often genetic, they can stretch though if they become clogged with sebum. The Lumenis FX CO2 Deep and Active is my fractional laser of choice and it performs very well in minimizing/refining the pores. There is downtime involved for the healing process; usually about a week. Intense Pulsed Light is known as well to minimize pores through a series of treatments with no downtime. If you have redness as well, this treatment will greatly diminish the redness. Both treatments will help improve texture.
Web reference: http://www.skinandhealth.com
Fractional Laser-Decrease Pore Size
Individual results vary based upon various factors; current pore size, patient skin type, type of laser (CO2, Erbium, IPL, ect.), and prior treatments. A consultation with a physician who personally performs the laser treatment will also be helpful. During your consultation, the physician should address your concerns and set reasonable expectations based upon their experience with the laser and its settings. Be sure to inquire about the number of treatments needed as well as the downtime (redness) following each treatment. Specifically ask if you will have a dressing applied following your treatment, if you can drive home and when you can return to work.
Laser for large pores
There are a million things on the market that say that they will minimize pore size, and they will not. They can clear them out making them appear smaller but the BEST treatment for minimizing pore size is a fractional laser. Our company has the top of the line Sciton laser with Pro fractional Laser capabilities. It works by ablation which is a fancy way of saying it removes the skin. Little micro columns of skin are ablated to the depth of the technicians choice based on your need and downtime. by removing these micro columns of skin your body begins to heal itself, in turn actually shrinking your pores. A good analogy would be aeration of your lawn, removing small plugs helps your lawn grow and flourish, this procedure is like aeration for your face.

hi im a 60 kg male who recently 6 weeks ago had liposuction on my tummy and breasts to treat man boobs. i also had abdominal etching. what i want to know is, that is it normal to still have "flabby" bits around my stomach. i must admit my stomach muscles havnt been worked out in a long time. my main goal was to get rid of fat areas that couldnt be exercised away and my surgeon recommended etching too. i just want to know if its normal to have little fat remaining....
Lipo and Etching?
Doctor Answers 4
Etching is best for athletic lean patients.
1. Begin with a board certified plastic surgeon and visit several offices
2. Seek a surgeon who does at least 100 of these procedures per year
3. Internet discussions do not replace the advice of your physician
Liposuction Recovery and Liposuction Etching
Thank you for your question about your liposuction and etching recovery.
- Abdominal etching is done with liposuction.
- It removes additional fat over the rectus muscles,
- The goal is to create the illusion of muscle definition.
- It will leave fat on either side of the etched areas.
- This may explain what you are seeing.
- At six weeks after surgery, you are still swollen. It should improve.
- Hope this helps! Best wishes!
6 weeks after liposuction for abdominal etching
Abdomnal etching can be done for some individuals seeking liposuction. As for flabby skin that may be related to your skin quality, but it is a bit early.

Liposuction and Etching
Etching involves creating an appearance in the fat to mimic the underlying musculature. Most commonly, the etching creates the illusion of muscle definition. It must be done precisely, but there is fat left behind. I am not sure if flabby bits should be left behind, but, at 6 weeks, you may well have some swelling masking your final results.

James Beaudreau: Java Street Bagatelles
Replete with rhythm, melody and harmony, the playing is conventional enough not to scare off those for whom "improvised guitar may sound alarm bells; but it also has enough pithy quirks to keep guitar and improv freaks coming back for more. By and large, it is the kind of music that you might put on as a soothing balm between bouts with other more complex musicsthe musical equivalent of a sorbet between courseslight, subtle, cleansing, enjoyable.
Only when Beaudreau switches to electric guitar for "The Robot Prince does the sound acquire a greater cutting edge and the mood darken a little; but that merely acts as an interlude in the overall mood of laid-backness, heightening it by contrast. It is very appropriate that many of the track titles on this limited edition release suggest some sort of rural idyll.
