Fracture of the overlaying porcelain on a porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) prosthesis can be a challenging problem. Ideally, replacing the PFM prosthesis is the best treatment, but this may not be financially within the patient's means.1 This becomes more costly with long-span prostheses. Repair of the damaged prosthesis may be the next best treatment and allows further function of the prosthesis until a more permanent solution can be rendered.
|Figure 1. The patient presented with a fracture of the cervical porcelain on a multiunit PFM removable prosthesis.
(All photos provided by Dr. Allen L. Schneider.)
|Figure 2. Removable portion of the PFM prosthesis has been removed intraorally, showing the fixed metal copings on the abutment teeth used to retain the removable portion.
Loss of a portion of the porcelain from the prosthesis creates an aesthetic issue that may be corrected at chairside using adhesive materials.2 Surface damage to the PFM may be broken into 2 categories, depending on which type of material is exposed. The first category is porcelain chipping. This is identified by a piece of missing porcelain with no exposure of the underlying metal substructure. The second category is porcelain debonding, where the porcelain fracture has exposed an area of metal substructure (Figures 1 and 2). The category of damage determines how the surface to be repaired is treated to increase retention of the overlaying material.3
This type of repair requires bonding to the remaining porcelain and is more difficult to achieve if the area comes into occlusal contact. Small chips at the cervical area are easier to repair and less likely to debond due to lower loading forces being placed on this area during mastication. When the chip involves the incisal edge, preparation extending onto the lingual surface will provide more bulk for the repair in the area where mastication forces work to debond it. These can prove challenging, as incisal chips may have occurred due to the occlusal scheme and excursive contacts.
Repairs when the damage is confined within porcelain are initiated by roughening with a coarse diamond to create some mechanical retention.4 A silane agent has been recommended to activate the porcelain surface and increase bondability between the porcelain and adhesive.
|Figure 3. Exposed metal has been roughened with a diamond in a high-speed handpiece to increase mechanical retention.
|Figure 4. Further mechanical retention is achieved by sandblasting the exposed metal and surrounding porcelain margins.
These types of repairs require bonding to 2 different surfaces—metal and porcelain. As with porcelain chipping, repair is initiated by roughening both the metal and porcelain surfaces. A coarse diamond is moved over both the porcelain and metal to receive the repair (Figure 3). A carbide bur may be used to create small, retentive dimples in the metal. If necessary, penetration of the metal to the underlying tooth structure may be done to increase retention. Application of aluminum oxide in an air-abrasion micro-etcher will create micro retention to augment the macro retention placed by the diamonds and carbides (Figure 4).
|Figure 5. Metal Primer II is applied to the exposed metal to increase bond strength of the resin used to repair the missing porcelain.
Exposed metal is treated with Metal Primer II (GC America), applying 2 coats and allowing each coat to dry for a few seconds (Figure 5). Metal Primer II contains a special monomer (MEPS thiophosphoric methacrylate), which promotes bonding by penetrating the metal alloy and co-polymerizing with the overlying resin to produce both a mechanical and chemical resin-to-metal bond. The improved tensile bond strength from alkane thiol molecule absorption significantly enhances the normal mechanical bond of the overlying resin. This primer can be used with either nonprecious or precious alloys, eliminating the need to tin plate exposed metal prior to bonding.
|Figure 6. Ceramic Primer is applied to the porcelain margins surrounding the exposed metal to increase resin bond strength.
Next, Ceramic Primer (GC America) is mixed (a drop from bottles A and B mixed together prior to application) and applied to the porcelain margins to receive bonding (Figure 6). This is allowed to dry for several seconds prior to the next step in the repair process. The Ceramic Primer activates the porcelain surface, silanating the porcelain and depositing methyl-methacrylate, which will increase bond strength to the ceramic surface. Contact of Ceramic Primer with metal will not hamper the bond to the pretreated metal surface.
|Figure 7. A thin layer of flowable composite resin is applied over the exposed metal and porcelain margins, then cured.
A flowable composite resin (Unifil Flow, GC America) is flowed in a thin layer over the treated metal/ceramic surfaces and cured with a hand-held curing light (Figure 7). Use of a flowable resin allows locking into the mechanical retention previously created and will permit some masking of the metal's gray color. Use of a white opaque shade rather than a tooth color may be more beneficial to masking. Because the layer of flowable is very thin, the brightness of the white opaque flowable will not be difficult to neutralize with the overlying composite.
|Figure 8. A microhybrid composite resin is incrementally placed to cover the exposed metal and porcelain margins.
|Figure 9. Composite instruments are used to achieve a normal
Next, a microhybrid composite (Gradia Direct, GC America) in a shade to match the adjacent porcelain is applied and sculpted to full contour of the desired final result (Figures 8 and 9). Because the layer of microhybrid will be less than 2 mm in thickness, it can be placed in bulk; incremental layering is not necessary. Thorough curing with a hand-held curing light is performed.
|Figure 10. Following final shaping with rotary instruments, flowable resin is applied to the repaired surface.
|Figure 11. Completed repair of the fractured removable prosthesis.
|Figure 12. Repaired prosthesis intraorally.
Finishing is accomplished using diamonds and finishing carbides in a high-speed handpiece. A final coat of flowable composite is applied over the repair to provide a smooth, aesthetic surface (Figures 10 to 12). Occlusion should be checked, specifically contact with the incisal edge during both centric and lateral excursions. All occlusal contacts should be removed from the repair material and kept on sound crown surface.
Damage to PFM prostheses may be multicausal.5 Porcelain chipping may be the result of contact with a harder substance loaded at an angle to the porcelain surface (shearing forces), causing micro cracks to spread, and leading to visible loss of porcelain. Porcelain debonding also may result from shearing loads. Another possible cause of chipping and debonding in fixed bridges is torque placed on the prosthesis under function. Since porcelain is a stiff material, these torquing forces twist the cast framework microscopically, leading to failure either within the porcelain (through micro cracks) or at the porcelain-to-metal interface (due to their dissimilar properties). A repair made from composite resin, which has more flexural strength than porcelain, may tolerate these micro torsional strains and remain in function.
Occlusion plays a part in how successful the repair will be and how long it will last. Centric contacts should be kept off the repair material or its junction with the porcelain or metal when possible. Care should be taken to adjust lateral excursion contacts so that shear load can be minimized on the resin repair and a decrease in "pop-off" can be achieved.

Jennifer Love Hewitt: Makeup-Free in Toluca Lake
Taking care of her to-do list, Jennifer Love Hewitt was spotted out and about in Toluca Lake, California yesterday (June 7).
The "Ghost Whisperer" gal opted for a makeup-free complexion along with a "What About Love" t-shirt and baggy sweatpants.
J Love stopped by a newsstand near her house to pick up the latest issue of VOGUE magazine and flashed a smile to the nearby shutterbugs.
Hewitt recently confessed having a crush on Adam Levine via her Twitter page, but the Maroon 5 frontman didn't seem too impressed.
Levine called Jennifer "aggressive," prompting her to follow up with the tweet- "The moment when you make a comment about something or someone and the world makes you feel like a total fool.#keepcrushesquiet"

wall furnace emits slight warmth at middle/top grilles of front vent while off
Home had a new gas wall furnace installed recently (and connected to a furnace vent pipe that goes up the attic to the roof). It tested to be working, and I noticed that the furnace while off still emits slight very faint warmth at middle to top grille area of the front of the furnace. The bottom of the front and the side grilles don't emit such warmth.
You only notice this warmth by placing your hands over the grilles of the furnace casing at the middle/top in front. Otherwise, you won't really notice.
Is this normal or does it indicate potential problem? I haven't really worked with a wall furnace before.
A new wall furnace with a standing pilot???
Doesn't the front cover come off for you to take a look?
A picture would help!

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Ordered a part on May 19,2014. Recieved it fairly timely. By the time I received part, I decided to not open pool. After discussion with fellow pool owners and a few weeks of research; about whether to drain pool for summer or keep it going, I changed my mind and decided for the life of the pool, pump, and pool liner, that it was better to keep the pool running even for just a few hours a day, than to drain it.
I proceeded to open the package that the part came in and noticed that a key piece was broken. I left an e-mail, because their website says " we answer all e-mails.", 4 days or so later, after no response, I called and the gentleman on the phone, he was rude and told me he couldn't do anything for me cause of the length of time after purchase; when I let him know that I was unhappy about spending $40+ the first time shopping with his company, and getting broken equiptment. I also told him that I did not want to make a complaint to about the company over something this minor , when he told me not to threaten him, I then told him it wasn't a threat. I also told him that it had only sat on my dining room table since recieving it. He told me that he would talk to his supervisors and return my call.
A couple of days later, my call was finally returned, I was told to e-mail pictures of the part and the best he could do was contact the manufacturer and let them decide if they would replace it. He would not mention the manufacturer. I sent numerous pictures from my Iphone, and here I am weeks later and still no response whatsoever. I !would not recommend this company to anyone! I could have chalked this up to my mistake in taking too long to decide, but that was no excuse for the rudeness and lack of communication, especially when they say they answer all emails, when they do not.
After somemore research, of all places that had pool parts, Amazon had the same part for less than half of the cost, including shipping. I got the part immediately(within a couple of days) and after a total of roughly $62 , I got my $20 dollar part.
Unfortunately I feel like I have donated $42 to a company that really stinks!
Paypal dispute/resolution would not even look at my transaction because of the length of time from original transaction. Which in small part is due to waiting on responses from the original company, which they advertise on the website that they do, when they drag their feet.(I think that is being kind.)

In amongst all the huffing and chuffing, the hurrahing and nay-saying, and plain old stimp-stamp-stomping in respect of John Key's State of the Nation (that is, the state of New Zealand) speech today, no-one quite seems to have picked up on the one significant attitude change in amongst all the dog-whistling.
Recall that back in 2005, Don Brash, the thankfully former leader of the National party, had this helpful suggestion to make about teenage mothers.
Ultimately, reducing the number of those on the DPB must be about finding ways of strengthening families, about educating people about the responsibilities of parenthood, about taking a tougher line on the financial responsibilities of non-custodial parents (while improving access for those non-custodial parents), and about acknowledging adoption as an acceptable option, particularly for teenage girls.
However nicely put, the subtext, and it wasn't so very sub a text in any case, was that teenagers should be "encouraged" to give up their babies for adoption.
Katherine Rich, a woman whose integrity I admire,* was the National party spokesperson on welfare at the time that Brash made this speech. She simply could not stomach this return to the 1950s, so Brash fired her, and replaced her with Judith Collins. Brash was, unsurprisingly, taken to task for his views on the suitability of adoption. It was a bizarre call to make in any case – it was as if he had never, ever read any of the psychological and sociological literature on the effect of adoption, both on the birth mothers, and the babies, especially when the adoption was forced, either literally, physically forced on the birth mother, or forced through economic and social circumstances.
Believe me – I know that there are many, many people who long to be able to adopt a baby. I have been there myself. But that's no excuse whatsoever for putting pressure on teenagers to give up their babies. Nevertheless, Brash saw that as a viable option.
Here's what Key has to say about teenage mothers:
A pregnant teen or teen parent might not be able to access a place in a teen parent unit, but could stand to gain a lot from a specialised parenting course.
Teenage parents will be specifically catered for. Programmes incorporating childcare, parenting advice, and tailored education will be developed to meet their particular needs.
The expectation is that teenagers will be given the training and resources to be able to support themselves and their babies, not have their babies taken away. That's a huge about face, and a huge rejection of the sort of policies that Don Brash stood for.
Of course, these sorts of programmes will be massively expensive. A training programme for a teenage mother is no good if she can't get childcare. To implement this sort of policy, Key will need to make a substantial commitment to funding childcare as well as funding the courses that the teenage mums are taking. And that's not going to sit well alongside his commitment to funding tax cuts out of expenditure cuts. Nevertheless, this is a massive shift in attitude on the part of the National party. Will there be any more?
* Rich supported the repealing of section 59, and continued to do so, even when the entire National caucus, bar her, was set to vote in favour of retaining it. That takes courage.

Thank you for clicking on this link! Becoming a member of our congregation is a wonderful way to join this vibrant and growing community. As a member you also have a vote in the congregational decisions at our annual meeting and at special congregational meeting.
The actual act of becoming a member consists of signing the membership book in the presence of a minister or a member of our board. Signing the book allows you to make an explicit commitment to participate as a member of our religious community, uphold UUCC's mission, and share your talents, your resources and your energy with others in a life-long spiritual quest founded in Unitarian Universalist religious values.
While you consider becoming a member, we hope you will become a pledging Friend. A pledging Friend enjoys the worship, fellowship and other events at UUCC and makes an annual financial pledge to support UUCC.
We invite you to participate in any or all of the "Stepping Stones to Membership" listed below to learn more about UUCC and help you decide if membership is right for you.
To discuss membership in the congregation or for any questions about UUCC, please contact Rev. Kären Rasmussen.
Stepping Stones to Membership
Welcome Nook
Twice a month, the Ministers and the Lifelong Engagement Team invite you to stop by after worship to say hello. This very informal gathering takes place at the front of the Sanctuary right after worship. The Sundays vary, but we hope you will join us when it's announced. Use this opportunity to ask questions about Unitarian Universalism, UUCC or the staff. This is great first step for visitors who are just getting to know Unitarian Universalism and the congregation.
Get Connected Class
This one hour class is open for those exploring Unitarian Universalism and the UU Congregation of Columbia. We will offer an overview of the history and basic tenets of UUism and a discussion of activities and programs at UUCC. The class also offers an opportunity to meet others who are exploring the choice of UUCC as their spiritual home. We meet monthly, so please keep your eyes open for which Sunday and where it will be held. For any questions, please contact the Lifelong Engagement (Membership) Team at email@example.com.
1-Hour Membership Session with Paige
Do you feel like you are ready to deepen your relationship with UUCC and are considering taking the formal step of becoming a member? Have you attended the "Get Connected" class or any portions of the class in the past year or two? Or maybe you have been a Friend of the church for a while and are considering taking the final step to membership? At this session Paige will talk about the privileges and responsibilities of being a member of UUCC. After your talk, the membership book will be available to sign if you are ready. These one-hour sessions are held four to five times a year after the second worship service. Children are welcome.
If you have attended the Get Connected class but missed the last 1-Hour membership session with Paige, you are welcome to sign the membership book and receive your pledge form on Sundays either before or after worship services with Paige or Kären.
New Member Recognition Ceremony
Once or twice a year, we invite our new members to take part in our New Member Recognition Ceremony. Held during a regular worship service, this brief ceremony is an opportunity for all UUCC members to publicly welcome those who signed the membership book in the months leading up to the ceremony. A light reception is also offered following the worship service so that new members can meet each other. While this is not a required step to membership, we offer this as a thank you and welcome for all recent new members.

Fred started his Ambit Business back in 2010 while working a full time job (about 18 years) as a Construction Estimator for a large General Contracting Firm in Northern New York and works his Ambit business about 2 to 3 hours a day after being invited to "just take a look" by his son Josh, .
Fred loves spending time with his own family and also with his church family. He has been married for 28 years and is blessed with 4 beautiful children, 2 boys and 2 girls ages 27, 24, 22, and 19. He loves playing sports and enjoys deer hunting.
What is your "Why" that keeps you focused and motivated the most?
To be honest the money is great but the reason why I love doing Ambit is simply because I just love helping people and being the blessing that God has called me to be to everyone I meet. I've never met so many wonderful and beautiful people in the past two years which wouldn't have been possible without Ambit.
What did your family/friends think when you shared your decision to join Ambit & what do they think now?
Skeptical at first as some were willing to help and do me a favor by being a customer, others were not. Over time and seeing the growth and success that Ambit has become in our lives many of our friends and family have joined the Ambit opportunity as customers and consultants.
What challenges have you faced in growing your business & how did you overcome them?
I think the biggest challenge was in the first 2 months of overcoming the discouragements of people saying no especially close friends and family. Then realizing the fact that I was and still am truly helping families with the Ambit opportunity then why should I be discouraged over doing something good. This to me was one of those turning points and even though it's still difficult to hear those no's with God's help I've been able to press on through the no's in finding those willing to accept what Ambit has to offer.
What are some of your biggest and proudest accomplishments you've achieved because of Ambit?
I love the story of my son Joshua, who was the one who introduced me to Ambit back in 2010. After 2 months in Ambit we both made it to Regional Consultant and both had about a 100 customers on our team. Joshua is a Police Officer with the City of Syracuse and also in the Air Force National Guard. After we promoted to RC, Joshua received orders to Afghanistan for a 6 month tour. He was excited about serving his country but was discouraged over the fact that his Ambit business would now be on hold for 6 months. I looked at Josh and said, "This business doesn't work that way. You sign up and get things started (which you've done) and this business will literally grow with or without you." He looked at me and said , "Yeah right sure Dad." About 6 months later, thank God, we got him back on Christmas Eve 2010. While in Afghanistan and not able to grow his business it literally grew without him because he added over a 1000 customers and also got promoted to Senior Consultant while serving his county thousands of miles away!
How has this changed your outlook for the future?
I need to continue to persevere through any discouragements that may come and realize the fact that I'm in the inviting and sorting business. I'm just asking people to "take a look" at a business opportunity. Whether they say no or yes is their decision and I shouldn't take it personally.

Good 3.9 /5 from 112 reviews
Amazing hotel in the best area of Vienna. Located just a 10 minute walk to Westbahnhof, one of the main transit stations so it makes it easy to get anywhere in the city. The beds were very comfortable, the room was large and it was cleaned every day. Definitely great value for your money! Will stay again
Stayed 3 nights there, the hostel is really closed to Wien Westbahnhof Railway Station at about 5 to 10 minutes walk which is really convenient for our next train ride to Munich. The building is shared with a kindergarten that really made my day when seeing kids coming to classes during the day. Booked a twin room which is really spacious and comes with two comfortable beds, a basin with tap, a large table for our trip planning and ample shelves to put our stuffs. However, the toilets and bathrooms are a little far from our room which may be a little eerie when going there at night as we suspect the hostel was formally a hospital based on the building's layout and all the rooms comes with basin and tap. Nevertheless, we felt that our stay there is really great as the reception staff is very friendly and room rates are at a great price.
Poor location.The hotel is far from city center.
I was looking for a place near the station for my morning train. This Hotel/hostel fits the bill in value for money and cleanliness. It was tricky to find at first but in the end the check in process was quick. Rooms were small, perfect for me. Free wifi is a plus. I couldn't stay for breakfast but it was provided. The bed...it was unbelievably comfortable! it was like memory foam, and the pillow had the right kind of support. I had probably the best night of sleep here while backpacking. If I need to travel out of the station, I would choose this hotel again!
A clean, modern hostel located in a quiet side street but less than 5 min from major transport links (train/underground/airport bus) and shopping/eating options. My single looked over the courtyard shared with the next door kindergarten, and came with sink, towels, dressing gown and a comfy bed. Rooms are reached through a door off the main stairwell, while toilets and showers are shared and located on the landing. Front desk staff are friendly, helpful and willing to store valuables/luggage safely while you explore. Wi-fi is free and available 24 hours, while breakfast is €8 and available from 7-10am (depending on your usual breakfast, this is the upper end of prices on the main street as well). It's about 40 min. walk or 10 min. on the U3 underground into town (Stephansplatz). The chief problem was noise. All floors are bare wood which looks lovely but creates an echo chamber no matter how quietly people try to enter their rooms. Leaving the window open kept the temperature at a comfortable level, but sirens and honking horns were abundant. Still, for the price, location and friendliness I would definitely stay again.

Understanding and Confronting Islamofascism

BeschreibungThis paper's thesis is: Understanding that the Global Salafi-Islam Jihad (GSIJ) ideology is not a distortion or perversion of Islam, rather a historically accurate and doctrinally legitimate interpretation within mainstream Islam, provides the knowledge to effectively proceed in the "War on Terror", or more aptly, the "War on Islamofascism" by using the Information Instrument of Power (IOP) to address terminology, "cultural progression", and support to "moderate" Islam. The paper used the Problem/Solution methodology. The problem included determining: whether Islamofascism is historically accurate and doctrinally legitimate within Islam; its position within mainstream Islam; and how to apply the Information IOP to combat Islamofascism based on a correct understanding of it. The research revealed Islamofascism is a historically accurate and doctrinally legitimate interpretation of Islam that garners mainstream Islamic support and overlaps "moderate" Islam on numerous key Islamic concepts. The solution provided, given the aforementioned understanding, supports US policy to use the Information IOP as the primary way to combat Islamofascism, emphasizing terminology, "cultural progression", and support to "moderate" Islam within the information arena. Terminology includes use of "Islamofascism" rather than current terms in use, "cultural progression" includes accepting the Islamofascist historical accuracy and doctrinal legitimacy to co-opt its foundation, and support to "moderate" Islam considers the challenge of determining "moderate" Islam and subsequently supporting it through various educational programs.

Editor's note: This is the first of a month's worth of weekly Nourish recipes that feature whole grains.
I was happily surprised to discover that kasha, commonly known as buckwheat groats, pairs well with something besides bow-tie pasta. My grandmother used to make kasha varnishkes, a traditional dish that combines the kasha, pasta, mushrooms and caramelized onions.
For me the mixture is a little heavy, so I decided to take what I liked best about Nana's creation -- the onions and kasha -- and pair them with potatoes instead. I added a good dose of vinegar and chopped parsley. Now I'm hooked on the result.
Use the freshest potatoes you can find. "New crop" potatoes are now available from Florida; as the summer progresses, locally grown potatoes will show up at farmers markets. Such potatoes have a better taste and texture than those that have been stored for long periods.
Make Ahead: The salad can be made a day in advance. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Servings: 8
Yield: Makes 5 1/2 cups
- 1 1/2 pounds new or locally grown potatoes
- 3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped (3/4 cup)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt, plus more as needed
- 1/2 cup coarse kasha (buckwheat groats)
- 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
- 1 cup water
- 4 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- Freshly ground black pepper
Place the potatoes in a medium pot; cover with cold water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the end of a metal skewer glides easily through each potato. Depending on the size of the potato, this will take 15 to 20 minutes. The potatoes should be tender throughout but not overcooked, so watch them closely.
Meanwhile, heat 1/2 tablespoon of the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and 1/8 teaspoon of salt; cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and just beginning to brown.
Combine the kasha and egg white in a mixing bowl, stirring to ensure that all the kernels are coated.
Add the kasha to the saucepan with the onion; cook for 2 or 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the grains are separate and appear dry. Pour in the water; increase the heat as needed and bring to a boil. Cover, and reduce the heat to medium or medium-low, so the liquid in the saucepan is barely bubbling. Cook for 8 to 11 minutes or until all of the water is absorbed. Transfer to a large bowl.
When the potatoes are done, drain and set aside until they are cool enough to handle. Peel each one and cut into 3/4-inch chunks. Add the potatoes to the kasha.
Whisk together 3 tablespoons of the parsley, the vinegar and the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil in a liquid measuring cup to form an emulsified dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour it over the potatoes and kasha, gently tossing to incorporate.
Transfer to a serving bowl; sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of parsley on top. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Bring to room temperature before serving.

The real CJ Bruton has resurfaced over the past month and it has been enough to convince both player and club to go around for another Breakers season in 2012/13.
The 36-year-old guard was a pale imitation of his former self towards the end of 2011 as form and fitness deserted him. He even went scoreless in three of four games in November, and sent up the sort of numbers that prompted many to suggest his career was coming to an inglorious close.
But he's had more bounce in him than a Cedric Jackson crossover dribble lately and last week against Perth nailed four out of five three-pointers in only 10 minutes of action. He might have collected a much bigger haul had he not got into foul trouble.
Bruton's contribution to the Breakers, however, can't be measured in just numbers.
He's a big presence at the club, and was at the forefront of the players' decision this week to suspend teammate BJ Anthony for 10 days for turning up hungover. That's a major reason why the Breakers want him back again next season to join the likes of Tom Abercrombie, Mika Vukona and Alex Pledger who are all on the verge of signing new three-year deals.
"I hope he comes back next season because he's certainly got his mojo back," coach Andrej Lemanis said. "Both parties want it to happen, so let's see.
"The guy has won four championships and there's no secret to why. Not only is he a good player but he understands how teams work. A testament to that is the fact he has played with at least three league MVPs but has never won an MVP himself. He's happy to get the best out of his teammates and let them take the limelight. That sort of experience and ability to help a team can't be easily replaced so, while he can still walk, I'm still happy to have him as a Breaker."
He will run out against the Hawks in Wollongong on Saturday night, when the Breakers go for their sixth-straight win. They are unbeaten in 2012 after a mini-slump over the Christmas period, and will be heavily favoured to beat a Wollongong side second-last on the table.
If they needed reminding about the dangers of complacency, however, they need look no further than their 81-63 defeat to Wollongong at the North Shore Events Centre in November. It has been their only defeat at home this season and, with only one win between them and Perth at the top of the table, they need to keep winning to make sure the earn home-court advantage for the playoffs.
Bruton hit 10 points in that defeat to the Hawks - it came between his doughnuts - but a lot has changed since then.
"It's coming along," he says of his game. "I have had my moments but I definitely feel a lot better. All the work I am putting in is starting to pay off. It's all about seeing light at the end of the tunnel.
"A while ago I was very frustrated. I wasn't being productive. I knew that. Now I feel like I'm getting in the groove and I want to keep pushing this team forward.
"My whole goal when I came here was to make this team successful and put the Breakers on the map. We've done that but I don't know if I'm ready to leave yet. I know I'm not ready to leave the game yet. My drive is still there, my competitiveness is still there, it's just my body."
A proper off-season would help - he played in Puerto Rico last year - and so would winning another championship.
That's entirely possible with Bruton firing.

Following its unveiling at this year's Mobile World Congress, the Samsung Galaxy S5 has been dominating news headlines. In addition to articles digging into its upgrades—such as a larger screen and improved camera, according to Verizon Wireless—there are rumors hitting the web about accessories that are in the works for the phone in addition to an alternate version that will surely please those of you who like your cellular devices on the smaller side.
As noted by the International Business Times, Samsung itself hasn't actually announced anything that's about to be listed. However, more often than not these days, news leaks of this nature are to be expected and, in some cases, anticipated by those in the know. That's particularly true when it comes to the mini version of the Galaxy S5, which is expected to be released in June.
While the normal version boasts a bigger screen at 5.1 inches, it's expected that the mini will feature one that's nearly an inch smaller. At least, that would make sense given the difference between the S4 and its mini counterpart, which are at 5 inches and 4.3 inches, respectively, in screen size. In a way, this variety in size allows Samsung to compete even more directly with Apple and its iPhone 5s, which has a 4-inch screen. However, did you know that the iPhone 6 may up the ante to 4.5 inches? That's the word according to Gotta Be Mobile.
In other Galaxy S5 news, though, UK site Mobile Fun has found images of accessories expected to complement the smartphone. From the looks of it, there will be a new flip wallet cover available in five different colors—white, blue black, blue topaz, rose gold, and glam pink. Those same colors hold true for similar cover design, except this one features a small viewing screen. For those who want that same viewing screen and the added bonus of wireless charging, it looks like those will be available, too. The downside? They're only coming in white and black—at least, that's judging by these leaked images.
Expect plenty of more information, especially that of the official variety, regarding the mini and accessories to hit the web soon. The Galaxy S5 will be available for purchase from retailers and carriers on April 11. If you haven't read up on the smartphone just yet, you can get the full breakdown at GSM Arena.

According to Commissioner Roger Goodell, the plan to add a wildcard team to each conference is under "serious consideration" by the NFL and owners. Goodell has continued to push for expanding the playoff format, and while it's not a foregone conclusion, with recent comments by owners such as Jerry Jones in favor of such a measure, it seems likely expanded playoffs will be adopted by the NFL. If the measure were to pass, the earliest we would see a 14 team format would be 2015, according to Goodell.
Fantasy Analysis:
Don't expect a decision before this year's Super Bowl. Any addition to the playoff structure would require a vote of the NFL owners and they won't meet again until March. But with the increased revenue expected from additional games, it's hard to imagine the owners not adopting this format.
According to SI.com's Chris Burke, "such a change would lead to three games per conference on wild-card weekend, presumably with the No. 1 overall seeds receiving byes. From there, No. 2 would host No. 7, No. 3 would host No. 6, and No. 4 would host No. 5; the divisional round then would pare down to four teams per conference, as it does now."
It's certainly not unprecedented to have a large playoff pool in American sports. Both the NHL and NBA already have playoff structures that include over 50 percent of the total league teams (16 of 30 in both leagues). So, even with the addition of two teams (from 12 to 14 of 32), the NFL will not be the easiest playoffs to reach.

Robert George Syme
January 22, 1925 ~ October 3, 2013
Robert George Syme, a longtime Prineville resident, passed away on Oct. 3, 2013, at Ochoco Care Center in Prineville after a long illness. He was 88. He was born in Ontario, Ore. to William and Esther Syme on Jan. 22, 1925.
Robert loved people and was known everywhere he went as a very kind loveable man who loved to stop and visit with you whether he knew you or not. Although he only went to school through eighth grade you would never know as his work background was quite extensive. He started out farming/ranching in Idaho at the young age of 16 where he contracted his services to various farms cutting hay, herding sheep, construction, farming and finally telephone work. He helped build the Oxbow and Brownlee dams as well as different construction projects in Northern California and Eastern Oregon. He began working for a locally owned telephone company in Condon, Ore. in 1964 then got a job with General Telephone Company. in Tigard, Ore. and retired from GTE in 1989. He was married to Leona Syme for over 50 yrs. and raised three children.
He loved to hunt and fish and even had the opportunity to go on a fishing trip on the Arctic Circle. One of his biggest hobbies was tracing the Syme family genealogy and he had collected a detailed accounting of the Syme family back to Scotland where his father immigrated to America from. His greatest love, other than his immediate family, were his grandkids and great-grandkids whom he loved spending time with.
Robert is survived by his brother, Clark Syme, and two sisters, Lucille Turnipseed and Ann Ball as well as his son, Larry (Debra) Syme of Prineville, six grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his daughters, Judy and Marsha, and his wife, Leona.
His surviving family would like everyone to know that we sorrow not as family without hope as we know we will see him again and we are separated from him but for a short time. For him it will be but a twinkling of an eye, for us it will be until God takes us home to join him. We celebrate his life and his death knowing we will one day be reunited with him as well as the rest of our family that have gone on before us.
His memorial will be held at First Baptist Church (Fourth and Fairview), Prineville on Saturday, Oct. 12, 2013 at 11 a.m.
Arrangements are in the care of Prineville Funeral Home.

Hot Ink — Detective Comics #861, Batman and Robin #7, Kick-Ass #8, Robocop #1
MEETING COWL TO COWL – Detective Comics 861/Batman and Robin 7
Bat crossovers aplenty this week, as Batman makes a guest appearance in Batwoman's "Detective Comics" and she returns the favor in "Batman and Robin." I could take this opportunity to make a reasoned analysis of the flaws and merits of each book. I could point out that these are two talented creative teams working on characters that I enjoy reading and argue that, as a result, we're all winners.
Or, unwilling to continue with my life until all things I encounter are properly ordered based on a subjective determination of quality, I could demand that one book be declared the superior of the two, and arbitrarily force unforgiving competition until a victor emerges. Because that last option allows me to throw around all sorts of artificially exaggerated bile and present the review in a dumbed down "these guys versus those guys" narrative, let Bat-Off commence!
First category, artwork. I'm getting this one out of the way right off the top because this is not a competition to determine whether Cameron Stewart's art for "Batman & Robin" or Jock's in "Detective Comics" achieves higher marks. Rather it is a contest to see which disappoints me the least. Sort of like championship bull-riding, the most these guys can hope for is to make as good a show as possible before failing and then running away before they're crushed by a raging, unpredictable beast. In bull-riding that would be a bull, but here it's the fan base.Cameron Stewart takes over for Philip Tan in the role of being not Frank Quitely, and like Tan my only complaint here is that Stewart's also fails to be Frank Quitely. Quitely and Morrison started the series and I still have a small preference for his work over the two artists who followed, both of whom have otherwise done a fine job. Then there's Jock, who has the unenviable task of being comic fandom's rebound artist after we all fell in love with J.H. Williams III's artwork on the first two Batwoman arcs of "Detective Comics."
Jock's art is good. But seeing this series without Williams for the first time is painful, and there's no way of getting around that. His artwork made the difference between Detective being one of the best comics on the shelves and being just another good book. There are a few double splash pages here that are similar to those seen in past issues, but the reaction they evoke is akin to walking down the street and noticing a stranger who resembles the person you recently ended a relationship with. I'll get used to not having Williams' artwork, but I'm not there yet. Advantage "Batman & Robin".
Next up, how well does each book handle their guest star? In "Detective," Batman's working a case similar to Batwoman's, he in search of a kidnap victim, she in search of a lunatic kidnapping girls and cutting off body parts as part of some horrific master plan. You get all your classic Batman scenes, from dropping down and silently taking out low-level goons to a rooftop talk with Gordon to the traditional beating up guys in bars for information.
On that last subject, it really does make one wonder how bars manage to keep any sort of steady customer base in Gotham unless they've got some sort of "criminals underlings drink free after 11″ policy or a regular henchmen trivia night. The one point that did bother me a little is the timing. The events happening to Batman seem to be happening at an earlier date, but it's never clearly explained in this issue. The only indication is that Gordon is referred to as "Captain" rather than "Commissioner" in an early scene, but other than that and the vague sense that this isn't Dick Grayson, the two stories could be simultaneous for all the reader knows.
But Batwoman's role in "Batman & Robin" is less impressive. She literally pops up from a box with no set up towards the end of the episode. She's confused, we're confused (not the least because of a lettering error that swapped her and Batman's word balloons when she first appears), everyone's confused. And then she immediately gets shoved into the stock role of comic book character who is worried about the repercussions of raising the dead. Advantage: "Detective Comics."
Up next, villains. "Detective Comics" sees Batwoman dealing with the aforementioned kidnapper and mutilator who the police have taken to calling "Cutter." Cutter wears a suit with knives on it. Normally when that statement is made in a comic book, you'd picture some guy in spandex with combat knives strapped onto useful locations like across the torso or on the leg or arm. Cutter, however, is wearing a business suit and tie that has had several knives, some surgical, some culinary, some military, sewn onto the jacket. His appearance most resembles some kind of well-dressed, non-robotic Mega Man boss. And if you really needed convincing that he's crazy, all the knives are attached point up, meaning one careless arm move or head turn and the pointy stabby bits are going to be right up against his face.
"Batman and Robin" sees Batman, on a trip to London, attempting to attract information from the "Pearly King of Crime", a very English criminal in a very English prison with very English teeth. He's written by Grant Morrison. He plays dominoes. Advantage: "Batman & Robin."
And last, the stories themselves. Both are kicking off a new arc. "Detective Comics" starts the first of three issues of "Cutter," and it's a stage setter. It puts the characters into places, introduces us to the eponymous bad guy and also to his next intended victim, Kate's cousin Bette. After getting thoroughly introduced to Kate over the last two issues I found myself missing her here, as Batman earned roughly equal page attention. But I did like the return of GCPD Captain Maggie Sawyer, who Kate danced with a few issues back, as a possible Gordon-esque police contact for Batwoman.
"Batman and Robin" began an arc entitled "Blackest Knight", in which Dick went to London and enlisted the help of Knight and Squire, the U.K.'s own dynamic duo who Morrison's used in prior issues, to find the location of a Lazarus Pit. Given that I already mentioned Batwoman tried to talk them out of bringing someone back to life, you don't need me to tell you the next issue is named Batman Vs. Batman to give you an idea of what they're trying to pull off. Advantage: "Batman & Robin", as Morrison telling a Batman story in England is too much fun to resist.
So, I guess that means "Batman & Robin" wins? I hope it enjoys lifting the imaginary trophy and taking a victory lap around the hypothetical stadium. To be honest, both of the books were fun but neither was excellent. I'm interested to see where Morrison's going to be taking the story next issue, as I suspect it's not as straightforward as DC's been trying to make us think. And Detective really couldn't help but have a down issue, with this being the first one without J.H. Williams. I have faith that in time I'll get used to having different artists draw the character, but I'm not there yet.
SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE . . . WHY EXACTLY? – Kick-Ass 8
I'm beginning to develop a bad habit of not liking how Mark Millar ends series. But to be fair, Millar's got a bad habit of ending series badly. In this case, though, I don't think it's fair for me to say that Kick-Ass has a poor ending. I've never thought much of the series to begin with, and the eighth and final issue is about the same as the rest.
When I first heard about "Kick-Ass", I had the same reaction I've had to a lot of Millar's titles. It's a simple concept, taking a teenager who's grown up reading comic books, having him decide to actually fight crime as a superhero, and then showing the often brutal results of that decision. I know Millar's sometimes made fun of because of a viewpoint that his ideas are obvious. But they're also ideas that have potential, concepts that, in the right hands, could turn out to be remarkable stories. Sadly those hands rarely turn out to be Mark Millar's. It always seems at the beginning like Millar has something to say. But then what he has to say usually turns out to be things like, "Hey, check out this guy getting shot in the head" or "Watch this guy totally wail on another guy with or stick" or even "This little girl just shot a guy so the bullet went up through his crotch and out the top of his head, how cool is that?" Any possibility of there being something thoughtful or clever to the story is out the door and pages get splattered with so much gore that it makes you wonder how much of the colorist's budget went to red in comparison to all other colors.
What makes "Kick-Ass" stand out for me is the amount of hype the book's gotten, with an eagerly anticipated film adaptation coming to theaters in a few months. I've kept reading the issues, hoping against hope that there would be some turning point where it all clicked for me and I started to appreciate the book and look forward to the film. But now the final issue has come and gone and I'm left wondering why, out of all the comics that get made, this one somehow got fast-tracked into a motion picture deal that's got all of Hollywood abuzz. I guess it does provide a straightforward blueprint for an action movie adaptation. And with all the pandering to comic book audiences and a supposedly relatable protagonist, I can understand why there are expectations that costumed fans will flock to midnight premieres, their pockets full of sweet, filthy money.
But as far as creator owned properties go, I could probably run off a long list of books I'd rather see on the screen than this. And as for Dave "Kick-Ass" Lizewski, the latest in a line of Millar protagonists we, the audience, are supposed to be able to identify with? I find this guy being the one we're expected to want to see ourselves as insulting, to be honest. Like Millar, he seems to be in it for the thrill of the violence more than anything else. Not the most insulting Millar's even been to his audience, but then the guy did once end a book by actually having his main character launch into a diatribe which specifically was meant to insult the audience. So I guess I was wrong, Millar did leave me with one thought provoking question: Did I really like some of his earlier stuff enough to make me keep buying his books?
ONE HALF OF LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL ROBOT DIVISION – Robocop 1
In the future, Detroit is an economic wasteland, where life is hard and jobs are scarce, and those who remain try to remember a better time.
No, wait, starting over.
In the future, Detroit is still an economic wasteland, where life is hard and jobs are scarce, and those who remain try to remember a better time. Like when people wanted to make movies set in Detroit, rather than settling for a comic adaptation. That being said, I liked the first issue of Dynamite's new "Robocop" series. It captured the two essential elements of the films. It tells the story of a man stuck in an existence between humanity and machine, struggling to find where he fits in a world that's often uncomfortable or simply frightened of him. And then despite the serious tone to the overall story, moments of darkly comic satire are continuously injected that both reinforce the underlying message and lighten the mood.
"Robocop" #1 returns readers to the world of Alex Murphy, a murdered police officer brought back to life as a cyborg. Robocop's a proud part of the Detroit Police Department, but the Department itself has fallen on hard times. Crime is high and resources are low. And so Detroit's solution is to privatize its law enforcement and turn it over to Omni Consumer Products, or OCP, a mega-corporation which is just as evil as that title makes it sound. OCP's unhappy with the efficiency of the police department, and so has now decided to replace its weak, fleshy officers with squads of giant, mechanized law enforcement robots. They'll capture the criminals, bureaucrats will process them, and the regular cops are no longer needed. Law enforcement officers aren't normally the type to spend time worrying about robots coming along and taking their jobs. After all, Robocop's the only robot on the force, and he really only took the job he'd held pre-brutal murder. So when the surprise layoffs do happen, they're entirely unprepared and none too pleased. Robocop, meanwhile, is offered a choice between staying on or turning in all his law enforcement equip and leaving. And in this case that's a little more than slamming badge and gun down and walking away, as they're also asking for all the cybernetic parts of his body that let him do things like slam things down on desks, walk, and continue to live a hollow shell of his former existence.
I have to admit to this one being a genuine pleasant surprise. It set up an interesting dilemma in the first issue, and much of the humor was well done. The corporate controlled news segments set the tone of a dark, foul-mouthed unpleasant future while managing to have a laugh about it at the same time. The commercial for an OCP produced food recycler that works exactly the way you're afraid it would is done in a way just subtle enough to make it believable as a real advertisement. A remarkable job by writer Rob Williams and artist Fabiano Neves of capturing the tone of the original films while still finding space to weave in their own interpretations of the character and setting.

Third place secured for 'frustrated' Arsenal
Arsenal 4 Fulham 0
Three first-half goals ensured Arsenal would secure the third and final automatic Champions League place long before Tottenham collapsed at Turf Moor, but an awareness of the impending coronation at Stamford Bridge meant joy was very much confined.
The murky skies were an appropriate backdrop. Arsenal fans are increasingly consumed by doubts as to whether their team will ever move beyond potential to achievement. Fulham, meanwhile, have had their euphoria at reaching Wednesday's Europa League final clouded by the return of volcanic ash. Another 17-hour bus journey to Hamburg looms, the club having travelled overland to the venue in the semi-final round.
Fulham are scheduled to travel tomorrow morning but an attempt is being made to get off the ground today if the forecast is for problems tomorrow. However, Roy Hodgson pointed out it was not "just a case of one person on a package holiday, it is a major operation involving 40 people and the aviation authorities". Hodgson appealed to Uefa not to "show their usual intransigence" but to postpone the game if the skies are closed. The one consolation is that Fulham's opponents, Atletico Madrid, could have even greater difficulties.
Hodgson also has injury concerns. Damien Duff, Brede Hangeland and Aaron Hughes should all be fit but Bobby Zamora is still unable to train and John Pantsil limped off with a sore groin yesterday.
Arsenal would love to be worrying about a final. Another season has ended without silverware, the fifth in succession. Arsène Wenger insisted his team had exceeded pre-season expectations but admitted he was still "frustrated" because "a month ago we were in touch with the championship and didn't win it". The Arsenal manager said: "We had a good attitude and showed strong character, we have improved in that area, but we conceded too many goals and there were too many injuries; we did not have the players available in the last six weeks to fight for the championship and Champions League.
"We were just a fraction short. We want to improve in quality but it is not necessarily a big number of players needed. I believe what Arsenal fans want from me is to bring in good players, last summer no one knew [Thomas] Vermaelen, now he is a big player."
The Belgian was one of five first-team players absent yesterday but Arsenal were still strong enough to swat aside a Fulham team chosen with Wednesday in mind. If Hodgson's selection was understandable, Spurs could have done without Fulham gifting Arsenal a brace of first-half goals. After 20 minutes, in which Mark Schwarzer's only real exertion was tipping over a dangerously flighted Robin van Persie free-kick, the Australian went to receive a back-pass from Chris Baird. A heavy first touch alerted Andrei Arshavin who seized upon the ball, rounded the goalkeeper twice, then drove in.
A dozen minutes later Theo Walcott crossed from the right, Emmanuel Eboué flicked on and Baird, under pressure from Van Persie and trying to clear with his right foot when he should have used his left, put into his own net. In between Arsenal had managed a goal without help. Bacary Sagna released Walcott who squared to Van Persie. Though Schwarzer turned the Dutchman's shot on to the bar Van Persie coolly dispatched the rebound.
Humiliation loomed for Fulham but they tightened up thereafter, conceding only once further, though Arsenal could have had several more. Seven minutes before the break Van Persie sent Walcott clear but the Englishman pulled his shot wide. Soon after the interval Schwarzer made a sharp double save from Van Persie. Midway though the second period Eboué rounded Baird in the box and was brought down. Referee Mike Jones, who had booked Clint Dempsey for diving minutes earlier, cautioned Eboué for the same offence. It was an error, but given Eboué's penchant for falsely going to ground it was perhaps just desserts.
Finally Carlos Vela, who must be one of those players vulnerable to be shown the door this summer, ran on to Samir Nasri's pass and chipped Schwarzer. It was reminiscent of Lionel Messi's third goal against Manuel Almunia in the Nou Camp a few weeks ago, but Vela has yet to show he can finish like that when the pressure is on.
The same applies to several team-mates, including Lukas Fabianski, the goalkeeper who received ironic cheers when he caught crosses. "There is a massive talent there," said Wenger. The same applies to the rest of the team, but when will it be realised?
Arsenal (4-1-2-3): Fabianski; Sagna, Campbell, Silvestre (Djourou, 61), Clichy; Diaby; Eboue, Nasri; Walcott (Lansbury, 77), Van Persie, Arshavin (Vela, 77). Substitutes not used: Mannone (gk), Gibbs, Merida, Eastmond.
Fulham (4-4-2): Schwarzer; Baird, Pantsil (Kelly, 58), Smalling, Shorey; Riise (Elm, h/t), Dikgacoi, Greening, Dempsey (Stoor, 66); Nevland, Okaka. Substitutes not used: Zuberbuhler (gk), Gera, Murphy, Davies.
Referee: M Jones (Chester).
Booked: Arsenal Eboué, Fabianski; Fulham Dempsey, Kelly.
Man of the match: Van Persie

Steamboat Springs On Sunday night, Katie Ross was a freshly graduated aspiring singer and songwriter about to embark on the next stage of her life.
On Monday morning, she woke up in an overwhelming world of Internet fame.
A song that she and fellow student Nissa Parker had recorded several days earlier was viewed more than 100,000 times that night on YouTube and has garnered almost a quarter million more views since then.
The song, "Sailing Ships," which Ross wrote specifically to perform for Steamboat Springs High School's graduation ceremony June 2, was posted on social news sharing website Reddit, Huffington Post Teen and KVDR Denver throughout the week, garnering hundreds of thousands of viewers for the piano/cello duo's song.
"I guess it's just really overwhelming," Ross said Friday. "I don't know how to put words to it. It feels like two different worlds. And I've been recognized in Safeway, so that's the link between the Internet world and Steamboat."
After a standing ovation at the graduation ceremony and a whirlwind of Facebook shares, Ross said her phone has been ringing off the hook.
"At first, I thought (someone) took my video and made a parody of it that was getting all these hits," she said.
But the heartfelt song and its wistful cello riffs had many commenters begging for more music from the young duo.
"It feels really good," Ross said. "It's just kind of confirmation that a lot of people who have always told me nice things were not crazy, I guess."
Despite the graduation performance being taped, it was the low-quality practice video she and Parker made on a whim that garnered the viral status. Ross' lyrics use the imagery of a ship sailing away to articulate the bittersweet virtues of graduating from high school. Ross plays piano in the piece, and the pair wrote the cello part together.
"I've played with Nissa so many times, and she just brings a song to life," Ross said.
Ross, who also goes by Kate Brady, has been writing songs since her pre-teens and singing as long as she can remember.
For the past two years, she has played and recorded with Jam Sesh, an after-school jam and youth group program. She's also a member of On the Fritz, a reggae rock band comprising a few former Steamboat students that made the Denver Battle of the Bands finals this spring.
Ross said when Parker returns from a trip next week, the pair plans to record "Sailing Ships" to sell on iTunes.
She also plans to record with On the Fritz before she begins college in the fall at the University of Colorado Boulder, where she will be studying music.
While she's gotten several calls and emails about future possibilities, Ross said she doesn't plan to change course too much.
"This is just a phase, I think," she said about the worldwide attention to the song. "We'll see what happens with it. I've always planned to continue playing, but it really will just open doors for whatever I want to do."

Religion and Science: A Beautiful Friendship? HTML version
In the epigraph at the beginning of this book, Rabbi Abraham Heschel draws attention to dignity in an
even larger sense. As we try to fathom our place in the cosmos, most of us, at one time or another,
experience a sense of awe. Heschel interprets awe as an "intuition of the dignity of all things, a realization
that things not only are what they are but also stand, however remotely, for something supreme. "
The intuition of the dignity of all things is tantamount to recognizing that everything has an integral place
in the whole, everything belongs and has an indispensable role. There is a perfection to things, not
necessarily as they are at the moment, but rather at the next level up—as an inseparable part of the
process of becoming. Everything is integra l to the process, including our judgments and opinions,
positive or negative, about what's happening. Heschel's observation recognizes this property of the
universe and identifies awe as an appropriate response to the world's intricate integrity.
Again, it's now wide ly acknowledged that religion's record at upholding dignity is spotty. Religious
leaders of every faith have at times sanctioned indignity toward others, persecuting them as infidels,
heathens, and heretics.
Science makes as many mistakes as religion, probably more, but it rectifies them relative ly quickly. As a
result there are few who doubt its value. In contrast, the proposition that "The world would be better off
without religion" has many takers (18).
Religious mode ls such as monothe ism, the golden rule, and universal dignity are pillars of human
civilization. Like science models, their strength is due to the truth they embody, and not dependent upon
the zeal of "true believers." A prerequisite to realizing religion's vision of "peace on Earth, goodwill
toward men" is a new relationship to the idea of belief itself.
The public…demands certainties… But there are no certainties.
– H. L. Mencken
When we hear the word fundamentalist, images of fanatical proselytizers, religious extremists, and
suic ide bombers leap to mind. But I shall use the word more broadly to refer to any true be lievers and
even to that part of ourselves that might be closed-minded about one thing or another. By generalizing in
this way, we include those who reflexive ly dismiss anything contrary to their own views, whether
religious, scientific, artistic, or ideological. Such closed-mindedness is the antithesis of the modeling
Though the popular stereotype is that all fundamentalists are intolerant zealots, there are people who call
themselves fundamentalists who hold that their beliefs are for themselves only, and who make no effort to
convert anyone else. It may be that the fixity of the ir beliefs handicaps them—by keeping them ignorant
of advances in scientific, politica l, or religious thought—but they're hardly a lone in that regard.
Fundamenta lism of the imperious sort comes in a variety of disguises: mora l righteousness, technological
arrogance, intellectual condescension, and artistic snobbery, to name a few. Such domineering forms of
fundamentalism tend to be magisteria l, overbearing, strident, e litist, and supercilious.
In a world without absolutes, fundamenta lists' claims to represent higher authority would not be given
special credence. In such a setting, inerrancy is out, fallibility is in. Questioning the current consensus is
not only permitted, it's encouraged. The one thing that tolerance does not extend to is aggressive

She has a passion for Twilight's Rob Pattinson, admires movie legend Audrey Hepburn, loves shopping for vintage clothes, likes Lily Allen and adores riding her horse.
At 13, Tiger Lily Hutchence Geldof is a refreshingly regular teenager – and that's guaranteed to put a smile on the face of her famously grumpy adoptive dad, Live Aid hero Bob Geldof.
His own children, grown-up daughters Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches and Pixie, have been dubbed 'the Boomtown Brats' for their bad behaviour and headline-grabbing ways. But Tiger, the orphaned child of INXS frontman Michael Hutchence and Bob's ex-wife Paula Yates, shows no sign of following in her half-sisters' stiletto-clad footsteps.
'She's not an extrovert or exhibitionist like Peaches and Pixie,' a close family friend reveals. 'She would have to be the least of Bob's worries with regard to how his other kids have fared.
'He and Tiger share a really close relationship. In fact, it was Tiger who asked Bob to adopt her. It ended up taking a couple of years, because he wanted to make sure it's what she really wanted.'
A tragic beginning
Tiger was only 16 months old when her sexy, charismatic father Michael was found hanging in a Sydney hotel room at the age of 37.
Her distraught mother Paula, having lost a bitter battle with Bob for custody of her three other girls, died from a heroin overdose just 34 months later. It was September 17, 2000 – Pixie's 10th birthday.
Tiger, aged four, was alone when she discovered her 41-year-old mother's body and somehow managed to call for help.
By rights, she ought to be traumatised. But according to a friend of Bob's, Tiger is extremely well adjusted – despite long-running problems between the Geldof and Hutchence clans.
'She's smart and charming, and has real joie de vivre,' the friend says. 'Of course she has a bunch of girlfriends she hangs out with, but she's focussed on her future career rather than socialising. She loves her half-sisters, but I don't think she'll turn out like them.'
Finding her feet
Sometime-model Pixie, 19, is often sighted falling in and out of London nightclubs, while Peaches, 20, already has a quickie marriage behind her. Even 26-year-old Fifi, a full-time PR-girl and considered the most down-to-earth of the trio, was recently warned by police for possession of cannabis.
But Tiger avoids the limelight, except when it comes to her passion – drama. With composer Andrew Lloyd Webber's wife as her godmother, she lends a helping hand behind the scenes in the theatres of London's West End.
'She's quite shy in some ways, but she excels in drama at school, even being offered a scholarship on the strength of her acting,' our source explains.
'Tiger has recently done work experience on a couple of West End productions, including the musical La Cage Aux Folles, where she assisted with the lighting. Her next assignment is on Petrushka, so she's really keen. Tiger has been warned there's no money
in theatre, but she just laughs. There's definitely some form of show business in her blood, but I don't know if it's music. She may take a backstage role, as she gets butterflies when she performs.'
Former Boomtown Rats singer Bob and his partner, French actress Jeanne Marine, are giving Tiger all the time she needs to fine-tune her future career.
For now, she's busy studying at a Catholic school in Clapham in south-east London, where she is an A-grade student – except for maths. And her life is low-key at home in the neighbouring suburb of Battersea, where she lives with her nanny in a self-contained area downstairs from Bob and Jeanne.
Big sister Fifi recently moved back in after splitting up with her boyfriend of seven years, much to Tiger's excitement.
'She thinks Peaches is a bit crazy, but she's very fond of Fifi and Pixie,' the family friend says. 'Tiger also has a really good relationship with Bob and Jeanne.'
Together, they spend a great deal of their time travelling. Globetrotting Bob, a 58-year-old multi-millionaire, has a country house in Kent as well as another residence in France.
Just a regular girl
But the man who refused to give his elder daughters pocket money when they were younger – Peaches once famously compared her father to 'an Irish potato famine miser' – is nothing if not frugal.
Tiger is encouraged to walk everywhere, or catch the bus and train if it's a longer trip. And it's not at all uncommon to find her rummaging through the vintage fashion bargains at one of London's famous street markets, such as Portobello Road.
'She hardly ever gets recognised,' the family friend says. 'That's all the more amazing when you look at her. With her long dark hair and big brown eyes, she's virtually a Michael Hutchence clone.'

I arrived in Montgomery and we headed to the lake. Brandon's grandparents have a little house on Lake Martin. I got there and was thrown into the family -- but with that Southern hospitality it's quite tolerable. We went tubing, swimming, and relaxed to the utmost! Even with my lack of sleep, I was so happy to be there.
Sunday was more lake-life... Janell and Hyung-gun showed up, too!
On Monday, we all took our time cleaning and getting out. On our way back to Brandon's, his friend Alicia called and invivted us to go to the baseball game that night. Even though we were tired we trooped on! Watching the Montgomery Biscuits was alright, plus there were fireworks afterwards!

As the NDP declared 'Canada's lost decade,' Conservative leader Stephen Harper warned changing course in rough economic times would lead to a 'permanent recession'
Saying that we're not in recession is the same thing as saying that what we're seeing now is about as good as we're likely to see for many years.
While Canada weathered the economic crisis of 2008 quite well, the message you are expected to believe involves Harper and the late Jim Flaherty carefully steering the great ship Canada through rough waters. In reality, their actions played a small part in a much larger story.
Canadians really are all in this together. So can the schadenfreude.
Past elections suggest that the present economic downturn will not be sufficient reason for voters to completely reject Harper and the Conservatives.
The bulk of economic reporting faithfully adheres to Easterbrook's Law: 'All economic news is bad'
In April, the number of persons under 25 in the workforce declined by 484,000. Unsurprisingly, almost one in three (31%) persons 18 to 34 are living with their parents, including 25% who have jobs.
The failure of most of the Western economies to bounce back from the 2008-2010 recession shows that we are in uncharted economic waters
The Harper government pulls a Scarlett O'Hara on the country's financial situation: "Net debt? I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow."
Flaherty seems to finally realize that in the 21st-century, world economies are interconnected, and he seems ready at last to accept the possibility that Canada could be facing a second recession.

Bulldogs continue workouts in Athens
Things are about to get serious for the Georgia Bulldogs.
After building up to clash and crash over four consecutive practices UGA will don full pads this afternoon at the Woodruff Practice Fields.
It will mark the fifth of nine consecutive work days for Mark Richt's crew ahead of the season opener against Clemson on Aug. 30.
"The guys did a very good job today," Richt said Monday night. "I saw guys pushing hard and fighting hard. I also saw plenty of energy and guys being good teammates by lifting each other up. It was an outstanding day."
It's been mostly smooth sailing in the early going of fall drills, although JUCO transfer and starting cornerback hopeful Shattle Fenteng was sent to the training room on Monday with an undisclosed injury.
Otherwise it's been the standard bumps and bruises associated with the first few days of practice, which started out in cooler temperatures but quickly heated up.
"Some people were talking about the heat but it's not hot to me," sophomore strong safety J.J. Green said. "I'm out there learning the plays and my position. (Defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt) is figuring everybody out. If we don't know something, he's going to teach us. He's got a lot of energy, and he's teaching us to be great."
Green, who played all 13 games in 2013 as a running back, was switched to defense during the spring. He was a star on both sides of the ball while prepping at Camden County High in Georgia.
"I miss defensive back a lot, and I'm working on getting better with my footwork," Green said.
Following today's practice in full armor Georgia will have its first two-a-day session on Wednesday.

In the current brutal war of words between the active and passive 3D camps, one of the strongest arguments put forward by passive supporters is that active shutter glasses are much more cumbersome, heavy, fiddly (because you have to recharge them) and expensive than passive ones.
Inevitably Samsung is mighty keen to try and quash this criticism of its beloved active 3D technology. So it's become the first brand to produce a pair of 'designer' active shutter 3D glasses, the SSG-3700CRs, created in conjunction with Austrian design company Silhouette.
What's more, as if paranoid that these goggles alone might not be 'sexy' enough, Samsung has also designed a rather stylish wireless recharging post to keep its groovy new glasses company.
This all sounds gorgeously gadgety to us. So we've wasted absolutely no time getting our hands on a pair of the glasses and the charging post to see if they're as hot in the flesh as they sound on paper.
Starting with the glasses, they genuinely are a revelation in terms of weight and bulk. At just 28g they feel little if any heavier than typical passive glasses thanks to the remarkably slender head band and minimal lens frame. Even better, they still feel balanced, thanks to the careful addition of little weights at the rear end of each side of the head band.
These chunky terminations have a further practical value too, in that one of them carries both a manual power over-ride button (the glasses normally switch on and off automatically) and a USB input for people who don't want to cough up for the wireless recharging post.
Since writing this review, it's come to my attention that the wireless charger will also charge Samsung's upcoming new 'Smart Remote' accessory when that launches in the latter half of the year. Just thought you'd like to know!
What does that price include exactly? the charger and one pair of glasses?
I auume these are only compatible with Samsung 3D tv's? No dice with a Sony TV?
Hello John, do these work with Samsung's first gen 3D tvs? I'm not really fussed about the look of them but my curiosoty was peaked by your comment about them not darkening the picture as much. Is it a truely noticable improvement?
@Barry Ward - Hi Barry. That price includes the charger and one pair of glasses.
Hello John: I'm now the proud and happy owner of the samsung active glasses and wireless charger combo - and also the samsung "smart remote"; however I can't find any reference in either the wireless charger or smart remote instruction manuals to the facility you mentioned in the addition to your review that the wireless charger will also charge the smart remote. Can you help?

I recall clearly that when we were considering joining the Community Supported Agriculture Cooperative (CSA), a former CSA devotee told me, "we loved the CSA, except for what to do with all that kohlrabi!"
Kohlrabi. Never had tasted it until we joined the CSA and truth be told, while I like the taste of it, I wonder why so many CSAs include it in their crop share. I don't mind eating the kohlrabi, but when I sign up each winter for the CSA, it is not as if I sign up dreaming of the fresh kohlrabi to come in June and July.
I have to wonder: is kohlrabi really on any "favorite foods" of summer list?
Perhaps kohlrabi is cheap to grow? Or immune to all those pests and bugs and other gardening woes that can plague other crops? Or maybe kohlrabi is beneficial to the soil and therefore one of those crops you want to grow to improve your overall soil quality? Whatever the reason, kohlrabi remains on our (and many others!) CSA crop list, and so, each summer, I try to find new ways to enjoy it.
So far, our favorite ways to eat kohlrabi have been braised kohlrabi and serving it in coleslaw. But last night I tried a new way, having it take the place of red cabbage (kohlrabi is closely related to cabbage and broccoli, and has a flavor reminiscent of both) in one of our family's favorite summer salads, made this time with Trader Joe's turkey bacon instead of traditional smoked turkey:
I couldn't believe it, but both the boys gobbled up the salad, including the kohlrabi. I was floored, floored! I was also reminded of the advice I got from a mentor mom years and years ago, to never give up when trying to get your kids to eat healthy. It might take dozens and dozens of tries, but the more you keep trying, the more likely you are that your kids might try something new and unexpected. Like kohlrabi.
