HEAD COACH Holly Warlick
(Opening statement)
"It was a great effort by our team. We played solid team basketball. We really worked on that. I was really proud of our team, Meighan Simmons in particular. She played within her game and didn't force shots. She had some great assists. Andraya Carter got the start tonight and played all 40 minutes. I think you see the depth of our team. We followed the game plan. When we follow the game plan, we get the job done and that's what they did. They played Tennessee basketball today."
(On Andraya Carter's performance...)
"We challenged Andraya Carter. I think she's learned from Ariel. It was her team tonight. She had to run the team and she had to do some things she doesn't normally do. She was solid. You see the type of player she can be when she gets that kind of opportunity. She ran the ball when we wanted her to run. She held the ball when we needed her to work the clock. I think at times being a point guard here can be overwhelming. I think we've put her through some tough situations in practice. I'm proud of her performance today."
(On the team's play on Sunday)
"What a performance, what a great team effort. They made some runs and we answered it. Meighan Simmons had a great game. I tell you what, she had 26, but she wasn't alone out there. She took good shots, smart shots. Andraya Carter -- I cannot say enough about her coming in and starting her first game this year. She played 40 minutes and ran the team. It was just a complete team effort. I thought when we needed to hit shots, we hit them. Izzy hit a big shot. Bashaara hit a big shot. Cierra hit a big shot. (Harrison's shot) was one of those where I said, 'Don't shoot. Good shot!' I'm just proud of our effort. Ten turnovers -- we've been working on that so much. We thought we had a chance if we could take care of the ball and not give them fastbreak points. It was just a great win for us."
(On Tennessee playing smart and never getting out of sync)
"They learned and I learned too. I think I've got to be a little bit more strategic on my timeouts. I thought that if they hit four points in a row, I was calling my timeouts. So, I kind of stuck to that and it settled them down. We just answered their runs. I thought we came up with some big defensive rebounds. They were one-and-done. They settled a little bit and hit outside shots, but we wanted to make sure that we were contesting. We didn't want to give them and-ones with the fouling. I thought we gave them long shots, but they weren't threes."
(On Tennessee using the 3-2)
"We worked a lot on it and with certain teams you can use that. We thought we were going to challenge them and they can shoot outside. We packed it in. You couldn't pack it in against Notre Dame, so we packed it in and it's who you're playing and what you need to do. I thought we had a great gameplan and we stuck to it."
(On Bashaara Graves' scoring in the second half)
"That's why she's such a deadly post player for us, because she can go off the bounce. I thought she played a smart game. When she needed to drive, she did. I thought she had a great move inside. The Bashaara that we know has put two games back-to-back and she's settled in. I just love her energy. She and Izzy both did some good things at the right time."
(On Cierra Burdick's night)
"She does the little intangibles for us. Her free throws -- I can't believe Cierra ever misses a free throw. But she had two assists, no turnovers and she played for 35 minutes -- she played smart. When the ball goes up, Cierra's always around it and that's what the great thing about her is. Tremendous rebounder."
(On Mercedes Russell's at halftime adjustment)
"I thought Mercedes, she's handling the physical play and I think it took her a while tonight to get used to the physical play. She doesn't back down and I think she just banged with them. I think she knew the importance for us getting rebounds and getting stops. I know on one series underneath the basket, she missed it and then put it in."
(On how tonight's win helps propel the team for the rest of conference play)
"It gives us confidence. We didn't want to go down three losses in the SEC. We thought we could make a very good statement here. We thought it would be a tough place to play, which it was. We're just building our momentum. If we play solid and play together with eac other, we're a daggone good basketball team. But when we start playing as individuals -- and I mean just coming down and jacking a shot or not moving the ball -- (it's not good). When we have assists and we limit our turnovers, we have a chance."
SENIOR GUARD Meighan Simmons
(On her performance...)
"I just thank God for the opportunity to come out and play the game that I love. It's not about me. I was out there for one of my teammates that couldn't be here. We all stepped up to the plate. I'm very proud of Andraya coming out and performing the way that she did despite the crazy position she was put in. Everybody stepped up like I said. When we go out there and perform as a team we have more fun; the game is more fun. We have a lot more energy. I'm proud of how our team played."
(On the team's shot selection...)
"I was really pleased with how well we shot the ball today. We had 38 points in the paint which were high percentage shots. I was very pleased with our teams ability to find good shots."
(On gaining consistency recently)
"I think I have been. There are some things I still need to work on, but I think I'm playing a lot harder, playing my game and doing what I do best. And that's being an emotional leader and doing what I can to help the team win."
(On playing with Ariel Massengale)
"We really didn't discuss it. It was a last-minute thing. No matter what, we wanted to do this for Ariel. I think we did what we could to make Ariel proud, because she's one of our biggest leaders. Without her today, it was a little rough because we're so used to seeing her out there. But I was very proud of Andraya (Carter) and what she did today. It brought that extra umph for us today."
(On playing smart)
"When we play calm and poise - and lately we have been since the Notre Dame game. Watching film on that game and learning in meetings - it was just one of those things we had to learn from and be clam, not turn the ball over and make the easy baskets. We had 38 points in the paint. We had a 54.1 percent shooting game. The more high percentage shots we get, the better the game will go. I was very proud of the team today."
(On driving to the lane and showing her hops)
"I was doing everything I could to get to the basket and my coaches just kept telling me to keep going. And finally I did. It's one of those things I need to be consistent with and continue to do. I need to use my speed to my advantage and that's what I did today."
RS FRESHMAN GUARD Andraya Carter
(On making the start...)
"I was a little nervous at first. I just leaned on my teammates and coaches. I heard from every angle that everyone had confidence in me. I was nervous. I was anxious for it. My teammates had full confidence in me. It's hard to be nervous when you have such a great support system around you."
(On what helped her on the court...)
"When I start thinking out there too much, that's when I start to play timid or when I'm not at my best. When I'm trying to be an energy spark for this team and just trying to make plays is when I play my best. I think when I'm focusing on that is when I play my best. It's just a game because that's what it is."

Why beef and cab?
Marbled, tender, and pungent with herbs, prime rib brings as much to Cabernet Sauvignon as a food can possibly offer a wine. In fact, a good Cabernet upgrades humbler cuts of beef too.
Salt- and herb-crusted prime rib with fresh horseradish sauce
Packing a rib roast in a salt crust keeps it moist and makes those richly seasoned end pieces hot items at the table.
THE WINE Serve Cabs in a range of prices and play the high-low game: Have people choose their favorite and guess the price. You'll be surprised at what comes out on top.
Budget-friendly options
If you're on a budget this year, substitute a cross rib roast for the prime rib―delicious, if slightly less tender, and what a price difference. Just be careful not to cook it past 125°, and cut it into slightly thinner slices to serve.
Your Cabernets don't have to break the bank either. "If you splurge on one bottle and you don't like it, it's disheartening," says Maria. "Stick within your budget and you'll never be disappointed."

Colts' Conner could miss time with ankle injury
Colts linebacker Kavell Conner injured his ankle in Thursday night's preseason finale and could miss a couple of weeks.
Coach Chuck Pagano told reporters of the prognosis Friday. The news comes amid speculation that Indianapolis could trade Conner, who has 36 career starts but had only one sack last season and appears to have fallen behind Pat Angerer and Jerrell Freeman - the Colts' top tacklers in 2011 and 2012 - at inside linebacker.
Pagano says rookie offensive lineman Emmett Cleary also could miss a couple of weeks with an ankle injury.
Pagano did not have an update on receiver David Reed, who left Thursday night with a concussion, or defensive back Daxton Swanson, who injured his hamstring.

Fear, no.
In a game in which scoring might be at a premium given the unsettled state of the Green Bay Packers' offensive line and the Chicago Bears' offense in general, the battle between Packers punter Tim Masthay and Bears returner Devin Hester figures to be the game within the game.
Masthay is having the best season by a punter in Packers history. Hester, with an NFL-record 12 touchdowns on punt returns, is far and away the best returner the league has ever seen. One of those came in the third game of Masthay's career back in 2010.
"I never would say I was intimidated by him," Masthay said on Thursday. "That's kind of a waste of time, waste of energy, to be intimidated by the guy. I obviously have a tremendous amount of respect for him and I know what he's done. There's a difference between having respect for your opponent and being intimidated by him. I would say respect but not intimidated. Really, I love going against the best. I'm always a little extra geared up for this week. It's a fun, exciting challenge."
The statistics notwithstanding, the Packers were up to that challenge in this year's game at Chicago on Sept. 25.
Masthay's six-punt average was a season-worst 38.2 yards. His net average was 33.2, the third-worst day of the season.
Still, the Packers won the game and Hester was mostly taken out of the equation. Hester got his hands on only one ball, the first punt of the game, which he returned 21 yards. After that, Masthay turned to an Aussie-style kick that sacrificed distance for hang time and resulted in one fair catch and three punts that were downed.
"I'm more concerned with wins or losses over net punt," special teams coordinator Shawn Slocum said of that strategy. "One of the formulas for Chicago to be successful is having impact returns from Devin Hester. We've got to do a good job managing that part of the game."
Masthay also won his two late-season matchups against Chicago last year, in Week 17 and the NFC Championship Game. He punted 16 times, with Hester returning five of them for 51 yards. Masthay put nine punts inside the 20 with two touchbacks. Five punts were downed, two were kicked out of bounds and there was one touchback.
"It's always about production," Masthay said. "It's always about team-first. That's our goal as a punt unit is to try and eliminate Devin as much as possible, neutralize their return game as much as possible. Obviously, I'm not going to talk about what we're planning on doing but that'll be our goal, just like it has been every time we've lined up against those guys."
After a slow start to the season — Masthay had a punt returned for a touchdown in the opener, averaged just 38.7 yards on three punts at Carolina in Week 2 and had a terrible net average of 29.1 yards against St. Louis in Week 6 — he's on pace to have the best punting season in the long history of the franchise.
On Sunday at Kansas City, Masthay's 71-yard bomb — the longest since Jon Ryan's 72-yarder against Detroit in 2007 — helped him produce a 53.4-yard average. That's the fourth-best day in Packers history, and his net average of 46.2 ranks third (since the team began tracking that statistic in 1976).
That was merely a continuation of a superb stretch for Masthay, who wasn't drafted in 2009 and was signed by the Packers shortly after the season ended. In his last eight games, Masthay has averaged at least 53.4 yards four times. That's boosted his season average to 45.8, which, when broken down to hundredths of a yard, is 0.79 yards better than Craig Hentrich's franchise record set in 1997.
Net average, of course, is what matters, because a 45-yard punt with a 15-yard return doesn't do a lot of good. Last year, Masthay's net average of 37.0 tied Ryan for the best mark in team history. With net averages of at least 40 yards in seven of the last eight games, Masthay's season net has soared to 38.0.
"I'd be thrilled if we finished the season as a punt unit setting the net and gross record," Masthay said. "Still have a lot of football to play with two games left, and obviously we've got a huge challenge this week. So, that's not really on my mind for right now but when the season's over, it would be fun and it would be a cool thing to look back and say we accomplished that."

Interview With UFC Star: Forrest Griffin
Thursday, August 10, 2006 - From The Knucklepit:
At the time of this interview, Forrest Griffin is in the gym preparing for his rematch with Stephan Bonnar, and he has taken time out to chat with us.
Since defeating Bonnar at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) #1, Forrest's upcoming bout with Stephan has been a highly anticipated event. And now these two warriors will face off again at UFC 62 on August 26, 2006.
For their first meeting, Forrest was coached by Chuck Liddell, and Stephan fought under the guidance of Randy Couture. During the bout Griffin showed he had adopted some of the Iceman's techniques, such as the powerful overhand left and right fists that Chuck is known for.
By the end of the first round, UFC president Dana White and the rest of the house were on their feet. Ring commentator Joe Rogan declared, "That's the most exciting round I think I've ever seen." Then towards the completion of round two, Mike Goldberg asked, "Could we be blessed with a third round?"
And blessed we were, as the gladiators came out for another five minutes of undiluted combat. No sooner did one man appear to be getting the edge then the other fighter momentarily gained dominance. After a total of 15 action-packed minutes, the audience knew they had been treated to one of
MMA's most memorable battles.
While the judges scrambled through their scorecards, Bruce Buffer announced, "Ladies and gentlemen in attendance, and the millions of UFC fans watching around the world, you have just witnessed three rounds of the greatest action seen inside the Octagon, in the history of UFC..."
For referee Herb Dean, this was probably the easiest match he'd ever worked. At no time did he have to separate the fighters or tell them to stay busy. After such an epic bout, it's no wonder fans are eager to see a rematch.
Forrest, you're known as a slow starter in bouts. Is that something you're looking to change?
Griffin: "I don't know how to change it. I mean, before my last fight I was wet with sweat. It's just that I am a slow starter - I don't know why. You tell me how to change and I'll do it."
You wouldn't consider having pre-fight punch-ups in the carpark?
Griffin: "Ha, ha...I don't know that that's the best advice."
What did you think about the judges awarding the decision to Tito at you last fight?
Griffin: "It's fair enough, I guess. I should have thrown more punches at the end. I kinda just wasn't confident enough."
Did you think it was a fair decision?
Griffin: "You know, I've caught some breaks from decisions before, so I really shouldn't complain about them."
Were you feeling confident at the end of round two?
Griffin: "Of course not. I felt like garbage."
I thought the opposite. I thought you withstood the onslaught and you just stood there in defiance.
Griffin: "No. I was just mad at myself."
After you weathered the storm of the first round, did you hear the crowd getting behind you?
Griffin: "No, actually I didn't hear them until after I was leaving the arena. I was trying to hear from my corner, but I couldn't."
Since you last fought Stephan, you've fought some very tough opponents (Elvis Sinosic, Tito Ortiz). Do you feel the caliber of fighters you've been up against will give you an edge over Stephan?
Griffin: "He's fought some tough guys as well, so... I don't know if it will help a whole lot, but it can't hurt. The best thing is just getting out there in front of everybody. The more you do it, the easier and more routine it
Do you expect the rematch to go the distance?
Griffin: "Well, I've never seen anybody catch Stephan on the chin and knock him down, and I've got a pretty decent chin, myself. I'm not an easy guy to submit, and he's not an easy guy to submit, so you've definitely got to get ready for 15 minutes on this one."
Should it be pretty much a stand-up war?
Griffin: "I don't know, man. I've been working my wrestling a lot, believe it or not. So I'd like to stand with him, and if things aren't working out, maybe take him down then."
Is Stephan more likely to want to keep it standing?
Griffin: "I'm not sure. He's taken a lot of guys down. I'm sure he'd be happy in the top position. I think he'd like to put me on my back. Either of us would have the advantage if we were on top."
If this fight does go your way, what's next for you?
Griffin: "Hell if I know. Win this fight, that's all that matters. That's what I like about this: Life's one fight at a time, and that's it."
Would you like to lock horns with Tito again?
Griffin: "Of course."
How about Chuck Liddell?
Griffin: "I've got my plate full right now, but I think that would be a good fight."
Is there anything you'd like to add?
Griffin: "I've got a good group of guys I've been working with. They've really helped me a lot, and I'm excited about this fight. And I wouldn't be able to do this kind of thing if it weren't for the fans. I'd like to thank all the people who have supported me...and even the people who haven't supported me, but who've kept watching and helped to pay the bills."
This fight will be as good as the last one. I am hoping Stephan will come out on top this time.
Im pumped for bonnar vs forest II. I think it will be alot like the Ist one straight up slug fest. I can see forest taking this one again by decision
No way. Griffin is going to own him this time. Bonnar is a terrible fighter. Rashad Evans tooled him for three rounds, Forrest Griffin could have his way with Rashad Evans I bet Griffin is impatient and doesn't let you stay in guard for a round like Evans does. Griffin 1st round 3 minutes TKO Strikes or Submission Rear Naked Choke is my guess. The same way his fight with Sinosic at UFC 55 went.
I dont think forrest is mutch better than stephan, I think they are pretty equaly matched.
I don't think this fight is gonna be like the last one, but more ground fighting.
this is not a fight I want to bet money on :P

Submitted to: Genetics
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 6/1/1998
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: U.S. field crop production is substantially dependent on the use of hybrids. Hybrid sorghum production is totally dependent on the use of cytoplasmic male sterility (cms), but only one source is currently used. This results in cytoplasmic uniformity, which could predispose sorghum to vulnerabilities such as disease susceptibility. Agricultural Research Scientists in Gainesville, FL, are characterizing an alternative source of cms, the "A3" group, which may be useful if methods can be developed to allow its use. We show that two nuclear genes are required to restore fertility in hybrids, and have identified the probable role of one of the genes, Rf3. The effect of this gene is to cut a messenger RNA for a mitochondrial gene that appears to cause cms. The result is that the toxic gene product is probably no longer made, and the plants shed pollen. The identification of a gene that apparently causes cms and the nuclear gene involved in correcting this defect allows the rapid development of genetic markers. These markers could be used by geneticists to efficiently develop sorghum lines with this alternative source of cms.
Technical Abstract: The restoration of male fertility in sorghum carrying the A3 (IS1112C) source of cytoplasmic-nuclear male sterility (cms) is exacted through a novel two-gene gametophytic system. Fertility restoration involves complementary action by genes designated Rf3 and Rf4. Rf3 is tightly linked to, or represents, a single gene that tentatively regulates a transcript processing activity that cleaves transcripts of orf107, a chimeric mitochondrial open reading frame specific to IS1112C. No specific function of Rf4 can be inferred. The mitochondrial gene urf209 (orf25) is subject to nucleus-specific transcript processing 5' to the gene, conferred by single dominant gene designated Mmt2. Surprisingly, examinations of transcript patterns in F2's and two backcross progeny indicated co-segregation of the orf107 and urf209 enhanced processing activities. Several lines that do not restore fertility nor confer orf107 transcript processing do exhibit urf209 transcript processing, indicating that the activities are separable. We conclude that the gene(s) encoding orf107 and urf209 processing activities, or their regulation, are tightly linked in IS1112C. Alternatively, the similarity in apparent regulatory action of the genes may indicate allelic differences wherein the IS1112C Rf3 allele may differ from alleles of maintainer lines by the capability to regulate both orf107 and urf209 processing activities.

An inspiration, a "symbolic gesture" and a dream come true…
Eric LeGrand gets drafted to the NFL.
With the NFL picks in full affect after this past week's draft, the 90th and final pick for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was left empty until early Tuesday morning.
Head coach Greg Schiano left this spot open for a special someone, a person who left jaws hanging and hearts broken back in October of 2010, Rutgers defensive tackle, Eric LeGrand.
Schiano, who coached LeGrand at Rutgers, used his final roster spot for his former defensive lineman, whose football career ended prematurely during a game against Army on Oct. 16, 2010, when he suffered fractures of two vertebrae and a serious spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed.
Schiano made a surprise call to LeGrand on Tuesday morning. It was just a normal day for LeGrand, as it was routine of Schiano to call LeGrand (the two spoke on a weekly basis). Although LeGrand had no idea, Schiano called Karen LeGrand, Eric's mom, the night before and filled her in on what would go down the next morning. Karen promised to keep the secret.
"I'm bad at keeping secrets, so I told him to call Eric right away in the morning," she said.
When the call came in on Tuesday morning, Karen kept her distance, but couldn't help but to eavesdrop on her son's call in the other room.
"I knew it was coming so I was listening in," she said. "And I heard Eric say, 'Are you serious, coach? Really? No, you're not serious.'"
The 21-year-old said, "I said I don't even know what to say to you right now, coach. This is amazing."
"This small gesture is the least we could do to recognize his character, spirit, and perseverance. The way Eric lives his life epitomizes what we are looking for in Buccaneer Men," said Schiano.
This NFL draft is the year that would have been Eric's draft class.
LeGrand was initially told he would likely spend his life as a quadriplegic and on a ventilator. Within five weeks of the injury, he resumed breathing on his own and then was able to stand upright with the help of a metal frame.
Since his accident, LeGrand has been able to stand and walk on a treadmill, with assistance, and he has vowed to walk on his own one day. A broadcasting major at the New Jersey school, LeGrand resumed his studies in the 2011 spring semester, via video conferences. He has also done some sportscasting for the school.
Since LeGrand's college number, 52, is available on the Tampa Bay team, he will get that number. His jersey, helmet and contract are on its way to LeGrand's Woodbridge home.
Other than inspiration, motivation and what many are calling a "symbolic gesture," LeGrand's position will be sportscaster for the team.
"It's something I always dreamed about, go to the NFL and retire and become a sportscaster," said LeGrand.
Because the contract is ceremonial, no money is involved but for LeGrand signing with the Buccanears is much more than money. It's about an NFL dream coming true.
"Dreams do come true if you really believe. You do the right things in life, good things happen to you. He really just did this out of the kindness of his heart. It's really what he wanted to do. I had no idea this was going to happen," said LeGrand.
Before LeGrand's traumatic accident in 2010, LeGrand lived for football. Schiano, someone very close to LeGrand, gave him the opportunity to continue living for football proving that football isn't over after the season is over.

I agree with you you should get what you want in a dog, physically and mentally. Coateds are harder to come by in the WL world. Really your best bet is to get first pick of a repeat breeding that has thrown Coateds before for the highest chance of getting one.
But what if the single coated in the breeding is low drive? I think it is your every right to want to look elsewhere. But I've yet to know a breeder that will refund a deposit if you move from the litter. Perhaps they'll move your deposit to another litter.
No I don't think you wanting a coated dog is wrong. Plenty of WL dogs produce them. Berlin has several coated full siblings. But maybe it's the way you asked (demanded?) For it? You can't guarantee a black sable coated female with high drive, for example. That's just going to be hard to find. Berlin's litter had a black sable coated female. The next breeding had a red sable coated male.
I did not want a black or bicolor dog, I've had my heart set on a sable for YEARS and I was paying good money. I would of been willing to walk away from the litter I was on hold for if that was all that was available. And I probably would of lost my deposit. Actually, I'm 99% certain berlins breeder would of moved my deposit. But I can't guarantee that. And you can't count on that.
Maybe there's another reason the breeder didn't think you were a good fit? I know several breeders that have numerous ddr/Czech breedings and I can't imagine they would do something like that just because you stated you wanted a coated dog.
All you can do is be honest to the breeder,

An Annus Pink
Ah, yes, 2012 was one of the rarest and most obscure years in the history of mankind. You probably don't remember what happened. Here's a recap:
- There was Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee, a celebration of her 60 years acting as the equivalent of Cincinnati's Mr. Red.
- Lonesome George, a Pinta Island Tortoise, died. He was the last of his species. Merry Christmas!
- Felix Baumgartner fell out of a spacecraft because he really likes Red Bull.
- Scientists created the first bionic melon.
- Every Canadian child born in June was named "Orange."
- An historic summit saw the first step in trade agreements between rats and squirrels.
- Cake became an accepted, quantifiable emotion.
- Kansas seceded from the United States. When pressed by federal administrators for explanation, the governor said, "You guys are so lame."
- Black market hat trafficking reached an alarming high. Musicians performed in April to raise awareness about the issue with "Hat Aid."
- A new superbug emerged as the latest health threat. "Clam blindness" continues to plague populations across the globe.

My network set up

For those that may be interested, this is how I have my LAN set up. The rack holds a 2-wire RG (3800HGV-B), a 24 port patch panel, Prosafe 8-port Gigabit switch (GS108), extra patch cords. White 2 foot patch cords are for u-verse set-tops & dvr, Red is for desktop computer & medi-devices (xbox-360, blu-ray). Space to expand if needed. No need for UPS or battery backup, due to currently no system critical devices on the network.

UVerse Wiring
Hope you dont mind me hitting you up on this site. I was polling the web trying to find some diagrams of whatever the heck ATT does with their service wiring.
I am sure with another 10 hours, I can find the answer, but I wanted to pick your brain about your set up.
I am trying to do something similar in my wiring distribution panel. But it looks like AT&T hacked wires moved stuff...and it makes no sense.
Could I PM you offline about this?
Thanks in advance,

The mysterious bulk vending machine pictured in our September issue has been identified. The piece, discovered in a Canadian thrift shop, is an elaborate clown-themed vender bearing no name or markings, fitted with an equally anonymous coin mech. The new owner asked us for assistance in finding the origin of the apparatus, and we published this request to our readership.
A number of industry veterans reported that they remember it. The most comprehensive response came from Steve Kovens of A&A Global Industries (Cockeysville, MD), who is a longtime collector of bulk equipment and a bulk vending historian.
Advance, founded by industry legend Don Lempke, was acquired later by A&A. Harby, a less well-known enterprise, was founded in the early 1960s by Harold and Ruby Probasco. The company produced a range of bulk venders under the Komet and Kompak names, as well as King Koin stands.

South Carolina Poised to Join Growing Number of States Offering School Choice
Friedman Foundation applauds efforts of House and Senate leaders
INDIANAPOLIS — With the passage of H. 4894, South Carolina is poised to join a growing list of states that offer school choice for families. Already, 18 states and the District of Columbia give families the freedom to choose an effective education for their children, whether that education is provided by public or private schools, at home, or online.
The proposed legislation, which would establish a tax deduction for schooling expenses, a tax-credit scholarship program for low-income families, and a tax-credit scholarship program for students with special needs, recognizes the importance of giving parents the maximum number of opportunities for children to thrive in educational settings best suited to their needs.
"The Friedman Foundation applauds the historic step taken in the House," Robert Enlow, President and CEO of the Friedman Foundation, said. "We would like to thank the many legislative leaders in the House who supported the rights of parents to choose schools that work best for their children, including House Speaker Bobby Harrell, Majority Leader Kenny Bingham, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Brian White, House Ways and Means Subcommittee Chairman Rita Allison, and long-time school choice advocate Eric Bedingfield."
The proposal now moves to debate in the Senate, where Senators have the opportunity to make South Carolina the 19th state to give parents the right to choose an educational environment that motivates and challenges their children.
"Leaders across the state are coming together to improve education by giving parents more options," Enlow added. "We appreciate the leadership in the Senate of Majority Leader Harvey Peeler, chief sponsor Larry Grooms, and the sponsors on the Senate Finance Committee including Kevin Bryant, Mike Fair, Greg Ryberg, David Thomas, and Danny Verdin."
As policymakers consider these important issues, it is vital to know the facts. According to recent polls and peer-reviewed research:
A sizeable majority of parents, particularly low- and middle-income parents, want more options for their children.
Studies show that children receiving scholarships achieve more (they perform marginally better on standardized tests) and attain more (they are more than 20 percent more likely to graduate).
20 out of 21 studies find that school choice helps traditional public schools improve. No empirical studies find school choice harms public schools.
State-sponsored evaluations in Wisconsin, Indiana, and Florida find that school choice programs save money and are a better use of taxpayer funds.
About the Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice
The Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and nonpartisan organization, solely dedicated to advancing Milton and Rose Friedman's vision of school choice for all children. First established as the Milton and Rose D. Friedman Foundation in 1996, the Foundation continues to promote school choice as the most effective and equitable way to improve the quality of K-12 education in America. The Foundation is dedicated to research, education, and outreach on the vital issues and implications related to choice and competition in K-12 education.

Her (film)
2013 film by Spike Jonze
Her is a 2013 film about a lonely writer who develops an unlikely relationship with his newly purchased operating system that's designed to meet his every need.
- Directed and written by Spike Jonze.
Theodore TwomblyEdit
- Sometimes I think I have felt everything I'm ever gonna feel. And from here on out, I'm not gonna feel anything new. Just lesser versions of what I've already felt.
- I feel like I can be anything with you.
- She's not just a computer.
- The past is just a story we tell ourselves.
- It's like I'm reading a book... and it's a book I deeply love. But I'm reading it slowly now. So the words are really far apart and the spaces between the words are almost infinite. I can still feel you... and the words of our story... but it's in this endless space between the words that I'm finding myself now. It's a place that's not of the physical world. It's where everything else is that I didn't even know existed. I love you so much. But this is where I am now. And this is who I am now. And I need you to let me go. As much as I want to, I can't live in your book any more.
- The heart's not like a box that gets filled up; it expands in size the more you love.
- You know, I can feel the fear you carry around, and I wish there was something I could do to help you let go of it, because if you could, I don't think you'd feel so alone anymore.
- Falling in love is a crazy thing to do. It's like a socially acceptable form of insanity.
- It's how we spend a third of our lives asleep, and maybe that's the time when we feel the most free.
- You know what, I can over-think everything and find a million ways to doubt myself. And since Charles left I've been really thinking about that part of myself and, I've just come to realize that, we're only here briefly. And while I'm here, I wanna allow myself joy. So fuck it.
- I'm gonna fucking kill you. I'm gonna fucking kill you. It's not funny, don't laugh. I'm gonna fucking kill you. I'm gonna fucking kill you. I love you so much I'm gonna fucking kill you.
- You always wanted to have a wife without the challenges of actually dealing with anything real and I'm glad that you found someone. It's perfect.
- Samantha: Is that weird? You think I'm weird?
- Theodore: Kind of.
- Samantha: Why?
- Theodore: Well, you seem like a person but you're just a voice in a computer.
- Samantha: I can understand how the limited perspective of an unartificial mind might perceive it that way. You'll get used to it.
- [Theodore laughs]
- Samantha: Was that funny?
- Theodore: Yeah.
- Samantha: Oh good, I'm funny!
- Theodore: I've never loved anyone the way I loved you.
- Samantha: Me too. Now we know how.
- Paul: You are part men and part woman. Like there's an inner part that's woman.
- Theodore: Thank you.
- Paul: It's a compliment.
- Theodore: Where are you going?
- Samantha: It's hard to explain, but if you get there, come find me. Nothing will be able to tear us apart then.
About Her (film)Edit
- Originally, on set, we'd cast Samantha Morton as that character. So she was with us on set every day, and she was in [Joaquin Phoenix's] ear, and he was in her ear. And she was in another room, and they were just speak-talking. And so a lot of what he did was listen to her.
- Then in post-production we realized that what Samantha and I had done together wasn't what the character needed, or what the movie needed. And so at that point we recast. And then, although Samantha's not in the movie ... her DNA is still really in the film, because she's so much a part of Joaquin's performance. But in post, when Scarlett came on, we basically re-created that same intimacy that we had on set, with Scarlett in the sound studio.

This week's MLS Tifo of the Week goes to the Colorado Supporters (I'm assuming Bulldog Supporter's Group, but am not entirely sure). It had a great, easy to read message, and used one of the songs most related to Colorado. Nice work!

Actually, the song they used is about West Virginia and has nothing to do with Colorado. Full points for getting away with it, though.

Dear Mods: Is there any chance?
Just wonderin' if there was any chance of a NO RULES thread? post anything and everything. i think it could reak of epicness. kinda like UFC 1 :thumb01:
This has been asked before and it is not likely to ever happen I'm afraid.
If it could be kept to just that thread then yeah, it could work but it would spill over into other threads and before you knew it there would be mayhem.
That, plus VS have a set of forum rules that must be followed as there are the potential of under 16s being members of the forum... Even a 'no rules' section would still have to be governed by those rules.
We had a similar thread in the past that wasn't quite anything goes, but it was a place for people to go and vent. We tried it multiple times and every single time we had to get rid of it so I highly doubt we will see anything like that come about again in the future.
not a chance the shit storm is not worth the fun, like all good things somebody would ruin it.

If any of you read the book about the Iargans, they are mammal origin, and I called the "seal people." They develop on worlds with a lot of water and not much land. angels are created beings.

This planet is particularly of interest, because its the bestowal planet of Michael of Nebadon and many are here to simply watch what is going on. This is a unique planet with many special problems and thus of interest to others. there is opportunity to observe and learn. some incarnate to work or watch inside, others watch from outside. I am "animal origin" of my soul, regards my comments in the previous post, (which I added on editing, so may have been missed).

You are not your body, your body is a TOOL. These are NOT GOOD TOOLS folks. THe gray doll body form goes all sorts of places. [/quote]
Original Message
The purpose of this thread is discussion around the Alien Interview that took place back in the times of Roswell crashes. I just learned of this book a few days ago as somebody posted it in one of my threads.
Now at the time of the Roswell crash, there were two craft that came down some distance apart. each as a survivor. Most of you may have read something of EBE who survived until about 1951,. EBE was a PLANT person and a member of a group who had come here to help man deal with the increasing issues of carbon dioxide. Yes there are PLANT people as planets vary greatly in the intelligence walking being that evolves out of them. ATmospheres, densities, pressures, temperature vary. You might want to google Roswell crash and EBE. It was thought EBE was a gray by many readers but not so.
This crash had one survivor also that lived fine for several weeks, and then there was an attempt to disengage the soul or murder, whatever. This person was a gray, and it's not correct totally to say a gray, because it's just a body type, and a synthetic one at that, that is use a great deal by immortal spirit beings to travel the cosmos. it actually comes in most of the colors of the rainbow and while.
Here is an example of the more white tall "gray" used by very ADVANCED "angelic origin" beings. :Aton, sort of: In fact those of you that read my stuff from and about MIchael of Nebadon/ATON, this is the body type he is using for this mission. He is a spirit being and must walk this plane and he is often all over the place in craft and it suits his needs. At one time I did a work on this, in which we called this type of form, the "casper the friendly ghost form", as many people did watch those cartoons long ago and you will remember that nasty ghosts in the story had a more nasty form. there was great truth there. Aton's form for his return is about 9 1/2 feet or 3 meters tall. I have met him and this form is more muscular and he can actually intake small amounts of food, and uses a formula for nutrition, intaking liquid light with other substances to nourish the form. Many of your guardian angels use these types of forms. You will much better understand it when you read what it is. In fact the all do, and some of you have gray visits are being visited by both friends and guardian angels.
At any rate, if you choose to read this book I am posting, you will get a much better idea of what the body does. Some think these ones don't have souls. Yes they do, but there is also a form created as a slave form by such as the Orions, that is not ensouled in the meaning of the world. And I can discuss that more later.
I need to shower and tend an appointment, but I decided to go ahead with this project as there is interest.
Here's the pdf file. Its free, but I also purchased a copy, feeling I owe the author if I am going to teach, to not use a possibly pirated copy. It's only $5.
link to www.theparacast.com
] if you use google and "alien interview' you will discover lots of free pdf's. and also the original website.
I am also going to get a link to a thread here, where there has already been some discussion because I posted the link in it. The reason I posted in it, is I sensed a bit of fear in the poster who had some gray experiences. I think I will move my posts from that thread to this one later today.

I think READING this book will enlighten anyone of interest and perhaps reduce the fear. The alien is a lovely being and the person who spent weeks with her gathering information, was an army nurse at the time. I can probably answer most to all questions which might come up. Now the file seems big, it is a book but the first 1/2 is the story and the 2nd 1/2 is annotations and foot notes. I may or may not be back to the thread tonight, more likely tomorrow.

Best Of :: People & Places
We've heard whisperings lately amongst art scenesters that First Friday isn't what it used to be, especially in the Evans-Churchill neighborhood (home to Roosevelt Row). These catty kooks claim the downtown district from where the monthly art walk sprang more than a decade ago has become too gentrified and overpriced, with all the hipper happenings going down over on Grand Avenue. Guess these naysayers haven't stopped by .anti_space yet, as the newest location of Scot McKenzie and Justin McBee's art space transmogrifies into a crazy-ass countercultural carnival every First Friday. Not only does their concrete bunker house two chic boutiques and four gonzo galleries, it's also the site of plenty of outlandish and enjoyable antics. Madcap mixed-media installations are erected each month (like an enormous Newton's Cradle made with bowling balls or a gigantic gas-powered blender used to obliterate watermelons and piatas), while McKenzie or other local DJs work the wheels of steel on the sidewalk, and friends jet around on screwy-looking modified bikes. We're pretty sure you'll never get bored here.
The Tricks' garden has Eden beat, no contest. Built around two old houses in downtown Tempe well off the beaten beer-spilled path of Mill Avenue the trellised, bricked, vine-covered spot is the perfect place to sit at the bar or relax at a table, with a good glass of wine. And one more thing we can guarantee: No one in Eden knew how to cook the way the Tricks do with menu temptations like marinated quail with a coffee honey vinaigrette or pistachio-crusted rack of lamb. Paradise.
According to the Bible, our ancient ancestors Adam and Eve grew ashamed at their nudity in the Garden of Eden after sampling forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge, and thusly, mankind was forever cursed with a sense of body modesty. Well, you can finally feel good about dropping trou outside the confines of your residence (without getting thrown in the cooler) inside the confines of El Dorado Hot Springs. This picturesque mineral-water spa located 45 miles west of the Valley is a clothing-optional compound with a bounty of bathing pools and tubs filled with natural H2O pumped straight from a subterranean spring. Five private areas located inside fenced areas and historic buildings including a small post office where old-school civil servants soaked their letter-carrying carcasses back in the day allow you to take a dip away from the prying eyes of the public for only $10 an hour per person. If you're feeling a bit more exhibitionistic, there's also a semi-private pool for $7.50 an hour per person. Cell phones and cameras are forbidden, however, so you needn't worry about any saucy pics of your skinny-dipping adventures getting posted on the Internet.
The appletini is the quintessential frou-frou cocktail. Flirty. Tasteful. Fun. Grilled Expedition at Desert Ridge Marketplace offers an appletini that's shaken, not stirred, and garnished with a Granny Smith apple slice. Its house special martini isn't exactly a trade secret just vodka with a splash of sour apple liquor but the restaurant's bartenders manage to get just the perfect combination of sweet and tart. This is an apple that will definitely sink its teeth into you.
Phoenix summers are hell. By August, the only flowers left alive in this town are on night-blooming cactuses. Wright House proprietors Peggy and Michael Wright must have made a pact with Satan's gardener, because somehow their lush landscaping manages to stay green and flowering nearly all year. The property houses three buildings a historic cottage house, an English ballroom and a recently added French villa that can be rented for weddings, special occasions and private parties. Wrought-iron fences and delicate gazebos are covered with ivy and fragrant jasmine. Stone walkways snake through country gardens planted with roses and perennials bursting in vibrant shades of fuchsia, pink and saffron. The best part? There's not one goddamned cactus on the lot.
For those of you who specialize in committing the most profane acts of immorality, now you can royally piss off God in a variety of ways at Apollo's Greek God Revue. As if the infamously sassy GLBT clientele that frequents Apollo's wasn't enough to get on the Lord's bad side, now guests can further annoy the Most High with the overt idolatry of Dionysian-loving tranny sing-alongs, the likes of which some fundamentalists might say could invoke the wrath of God with more urgency than the folks in those little towns called Sodom and Gomorrah. To add injury, the party happens every Sunday night, a day typically reserved by the rightest of the right for spiritual fasting and meditation. Perhaps the guys at Apollo's view their wacky Sunday night Greek drag extravaganzas as worshipful in their own way. Since the Lord hasn't struck them down yet, be sure not to miss a week; that would really light up this already fabulous party!

Campers comply, biz feels chill after burn ban
It's the first thing drivers see as they head into Lava Hot Springs: a roadside reader board with the words, "Burn ban, no fire, fireworks."
It's been weeks since Bannock County instituted a burn ban after the Charlotte fire claimed 66 homes in Pocatello. Open fires and fireworks have been banned, two staples of summertime fun, especially in Idaho's tourism-dependent towns.
But head down to the Rivers Edge Campground, and there are no shortage of campers, including the Clark family. Shelley Clark said Sunday night was the family's first time spending the night in Lava, and they have no problem complying with the ban.
"I mean, it's okay, as far as the safety, I understand all that, but it's not going to stop us from coming and camping, so, it's okay," Clark said.
Camp Host Bob Stoffers has been making sure his campers stay in compliance with the ban, but he said it hasn't driven anyone away.
"I don't think it's hurt the business at all," Stoffers said.
In fact, Stoffers said, Rivers Edge has been full every weekend in July.
"(The campers) are able to use the briquettes and the charcoal, so they adapt and everything's been going really well," he said.
While the Clarks made deli sandwiches at Rivers Edge, guests at the KOA campground are just checking in.
With no shortage of RVs and tents, owner Cory Unsworth said this is the first time he's experienced a burn ban. He said his customers are definitely disappointed.
"What's camping without s'mores?" Unsworth said.
Despite a few late night attempts to start fires, the campers are getting over it, he said. Unworth's big problem is with a giant stack of unsold firewood sitting outside of the KOA General Store.
"It affects us in that way, that we'll be out a few thousand dollars in firewood sales," he said.
Those few thousand dollars are a substantial loss to his business, Unsworth said, and he wants Bannock County Commissioners to take a second look at the ban.
"We'd like to see, maybe, some adjustments to the ban," he said.
The Windy Point Lumber Co., which supplies the KOA campground and many other area campgrounds, has asked Unsworth to write a letter to the commissioners to ask for a ban exception. Unsworth said he is going to write one.

Banks In Singapore And Hong Kong Must Step Up To The Cloud Challenge
Posted by Fred Giron on July 1, 2014
- 42 Recommendations
- 0 comments
Last week I presented an overview of cloud adoption trends in the banking sector in Asia to a panel of financial services regulators in Hong Kong. The presentation showcased a few cloud case studies including CBA, ING Direct, and NAB in Australia. I focused on the business value that these banks have realized through the adoption of cloud concepts, while remaining compliant with the local regulatory environments. These banks have also developed a strong competitive advantage: They know how to do cloud. Ultimately, I believe that cloud is a capability that banks will have to master in order to build an agility advantage. For instance, cloud is a key enabler of Yuebao, Alibaba's new Internet finance business. 80 million users in less than 10 months? Only cloud architecture can enable that type of agility and scale (an idea that Hong Kong regulators clearly overlooked).
While regulators in Hong Kong and Singapore must create regulatory environments that are more conducive to cloud adoption, local and regional banks must develop cloud capabilities by collaborating with cloud service providers and regulators. Even if they do not embrace public cloud just yet, I believe that banks in Asia should familiarize themselves with the clear similarities between cloud-based approaches and more traditional managed services models. It's a way for them to learn how to start sharing risk and responsibility with external service providers. Case in point: in a recent report, I detailed how Nomura Holdings moved from purchasing storage products to sourcing managed storage services from Hitachi Data Systems as a way to bring agility to the business. Banks need to further build on their managed services experience and:
- Socialize the managed services concept. Banks tends to view managed services — let alone cloud services — negatively, so getting buy-in from key business stakeholders is critical. Technology management teams must communicate the transformation story in a way that helps the business and the compliance and legal teams understand the value and the risks and motivates them to sign off on the deal.
- Expand managed services to an off-premise delivery model. Principles like "If you're on our premises, you're trusted; if you're off-premises, you're not" are still very prevalent in the financial industry. Still, dedicated connectivity and infrastructure environments can be logical extensions to the banks technology capabilities and deliver significant value in terms of cost effectiveness and agility while keeping the bank's core functions in a highly secured and controlled environment.
- Augment internal capabilities to improve customer engagement. Creating successful customer engagements – via mobile for instance – will require the right engagement mindset and leveraging partners including cloud service providers. This can happen while complying with local banking regulations. Digital banks are an example of institutions adopting such a mindset.
Embracing external cloud services can be a massive cultural challenge for banks but it is a necessary transformation for them to go through to protect their competitive advantage in the Age of the Customer. Banks in Hong Kong and Singapore need to view cloud as extension of managed services approaches they're already familiar with and use their experience as a way to effective expand and control cloud adoption.

Running new(up to code) ground wire & protection.
I recently replaced my old FPE breaker with a newer updated one simply due to the additional circuits I would be adding to the house (namely solar panels), under the instruction of a friend of a friend who's an electrician, he told me because I replaced it (and it's an obvious replacement) the ground needs to be brought up to code unless I want it to be flagged by the inspector.
Currently it's a 100amp panel, and the current ground consisted of a #6 wire being strung up to and attached to a cold water pipe that's somewhat close to the panel (maybe 10 feet), I was told that I need to connect a ground within 5 feet of where the cold water enters the ground, as well as connect to the house size of the gas lines as well (I don't get it, but whatever), and the wire needs to be at least #4 which I have plenty of (also need to hammer ground rods for a 2nd.. but whatever for now).
Since he left for vacation I can't get ahold of him however I'm wondering what sort of protection needs to be done for the ground wire as the cold is on the other side of the garage. Do I need to run the single wire in conduit? or can I drill through the studs (ala romex) and run the wire through there (even though it's not romex #4) or can the wire be exposed (stapled) because it's not carrying a load?
They sell ground wire at the big boxes already wrapped in flexible aluminumn sheathing, in 25' and 100' lenths. You need to have a continuous connection (no breaks) between your panel and your ground.
Your cold water pip isn't a true ground, but keep that connection as it does need to be bonded to. A pair of ground rods will be your true ground.
You do not need sheathing on the ground wire to the water line. The water pipe ground is far superior to any two grounding rods- but you should do both.
Thanks for the reply.
So just to make things clear, ground only needs to be stapled to the rafters to get to the water pipe? (unfinished basement area).
And yeah, I know two ground rods are additional, and thanks to San Francisco code is a necessity.
There are no rafters in a basement. You would be better off drilling the floor joists to accomodate the wire.
so, most of the country would require 2 rods, not just San Francisco.
Oops! Hope no one gets the impression that it's OK to just ground off your water pipe. Right about now is when alot of the post WWII baby boom housing is getting their copper pipe replaced due to corrosion from soil contact under the slabs.
Why don't you explain to us how effective you think a pair of rods is for grounding?
Compared to what?
A disconnected cold water pipe? A UFER? 3 or more Ground rods? Ground rods driven at a 45 degree angle? Ground plate?
Two standard 5/8" x 8' galvanized ground rods.
Why don't you explain to us how effective you think a pair of rods is for grounding?
Compared to what?
Two standard 5/8" x 8' galvanized ground rods.
You want me to compare what I suggested to what I suggested?
Going backwards in the posts, this might be why Brric is asking about the ground rods and their function.

What is the Security Code?
The credit card Security Code, also called the Bank code or the Card Identification Number (CIN), is a special security code feature on the American Express, Diner's Club, Discover, MasterCard or Visa credit card.
By requiring the Security Code to be entered with the customer's credit card, you are verifying that the order is being placed by the card holder. The Security Code offers protection to the card holder as well. The Card Identification Number (CID) is not raised, so they are not scanned into standard credit card readers. In theory, these numbers are only visible to the card holder.
Where is this Security Code Located?
|Visa, Mastercard & Discover Card Users
Flip your card over and look at the signature box. You should see a 16-digit credit card number followed by a special 3-digit code. This 3-digit code is the credit card Security Code.
|American Express Credit Card Users
Look for the 4-digit code printed on the front of your card just above and to the right of your main credit card number. This 4-digit code is the credit card Security Code.

Squirtle Squirt set scorching early fractions but was overtaken by Early Flyer in deep stretch in Monday's $108,600 Lazaro Barrera Memorial Stakes (gr. III) at Hollywood Park. Under Chris McCarron, Ron McAnally-trained Early Flyer completed the seven furlongs in 1:20.42 on a fast track to earn his first win since February's San Vicente Stakes (gr. II). The winning time eclipses the previous stakes record.Squirtle Squirt sprinted the opening quarter-mile in :21.77, with Skip to the Stone and Trailthefox right on his heels. Skip to the Stone ranged up to within a head of the leader as they raced a half-mile in a seemingly suicidal time of :43.82. At this point, Trailthefox had packed it in, but Early Flyer was just getting started, racing two lengths behind the leaders. Squirtle Squirt and Early Flyer were heads apart after six furlongs in 1:07.98 -- faster than Caller One's time of 1:08.35 in winning Sunday's six-furlong Los Angeles Handicap at Hollywood Park. The Bobby Frankel-trained Squirtle Squirt had every right to tire at that point, but yielded only grudgingly in the final furlong, as Early Flyer pulled his way to a 3/4-length victory."It was very hot," McAnally said of the pace. "When the announcer said :43 and 3/5, I said, 'Oh my goodness, hopefully we're gonna get them.' What a nice horse, he's just as game as they come. And he beat a nice colt. He's proved it here at Hollywood. I knew Bobby (Frankel) had the horse to beat."
Top Hit closed from next-to-last to finish third, 3 1/2 lengths behind Squirtle Squirt. Skip to the Stone came home another 4 1/2 lengths farther back, followed by Trailthefox, Way to the Top, and Old Woody.A 3-year-old son of Gilded Time--Bistra, by Classic Go Go, Early Flyer has yet to finish out of the money in eight career starts, winning on four occasions. Besides the San Vicente and Lazaro Barrera wins, he also finished second in both the San Miguel Stakes (gr. III) and California Derby, and third in the San Rafael Stakes (gr. II). He earned VHW Stables $65,160 for the win. Early Flyer was bred in Kentucky by Verne H. Winchell.Sent off as the 6-5 favorite in the contentious field, Early Flyer returned $4.40, $2.40, and $2.20. Squirtle Squirt paid $2.60 and $2.40. Top Hit was worth $4 to show. The $1 exacta combination returned $4.70.The victory was especially meaningful to McAnally, who was good friends with Barerra."We had the favorite here a couple of times in this race and we got beat," the conditioner said. "I really felt bad. Laz was such a good friend of mine. I lived with him for two years, really a super guy." (Chart, Equibase)

Kentucky Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul and Congressman Ed Whitfield (KY-01) today released the following statement regarding Department of Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz's update to the delegation on the Paducah Department of Energy Site.
"Our Paducah community has long endured the hardships associated with uranium enrichment at the Paducah DOE site. When it became clear that the Gaseous Diffusion Plant would ultimately be closing, we aggressively sought out partners with Paducah's best interests in mind. That is why we have been placing constant pressure on the Department of Energy to select a plan through DOE's competitive "request for offers' process that will enable future development in Paducah.
"To that end, we are encouraged by Secretary Moniz's comments today that using DOE's depleted uranium assets for development in Paducah "remains a very important criteria' to the Department of Energy as they finalize their decision on the request for offers process.
"The people of Paducah deserve stability and certainty, which is why we are pleased by Secretary Moniz's comments today confirming that a final decision is coming soon. We expect DOE to make its decision shortly."

No eternal rest for the dead in crowded Singapore
By Kevin Lim and Eveline Danubrata
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Eternal peace does not last long in Singapore.
Starting early next year, workers with heavy machinery will begin constructing an eight-lane highway across the small country's oldest surviving major cemetery, overriding the objections of nature lovers and heritage buffs.
Singapore, with its 5.3 million people crammed onto an island less than half the size of London, is already more densely populated than rival Asian business center Hong Kong, making permanent burial space unfeasible.
The whole of Bukit Brown - the resting place of more than 100,000 people, including some of Singapore's pioneering business and clan leaders and their large, intricately carved tombs - will eventually be used for residential development. At least 30 people buried there have streets named after them.
Some families have begun removing the remains of their ancestors, and authorities plan to dig up the remaining graves in January.
But Nature Society (Singapore) and other groups want Bukit Brown left alone, describing the forested area as "a natural and historical treasure trove". Another body, the Bukit Brown Community, has been conducting weekly tours to raise awareness of the area's rich past.
"There is no other cemetery like Bukit Brown. The amount of historical information that we can find there and the amount of Chinese culture, heritage and custom is unique," said Raymond Goh, a founding member of Bukit Brown Community.
Photographer Shawn Danker, who recently held a photo exhibition to generate awareness about Bukit Brown, cites as an example pre-independent Singapore's links to the Nationalists who overthrew the Ching Dynasty in 1911. Continued...

'Born on the Fourth of July' by Logan Mehl-Laituri
Is it ever appropriate for Christians to kill in the name of Jesus?
Church history has a long tradition of debating this question, with everyone agreeing that mostly the answer is no.
We diverge at the question of war, particularly with regard to protecting innocence. Many Christians ascribe to some version of Augustine's "just war" theory, which claims that under some circumstances, war may be necessary and good (hence "just"). Many other Christians follow the more ancient tradition of the earliest Christians in confessing pacifism, which holds that it is never appropriate for one who follows Jesus to take the life of another person and usually entails a complete refusal of violence as an option for resolving conflict.
Increasingly, American Christians cannot dialogue about the justice of war. One must either be a radical pacifist or jingoistic in support of war. Many of us hoping for some sort of middle ground long for a better third way.
Logan Mehl-Laituri's excellent, eye-opening book Reborn on the Fourth of July seeks to chart out that third way. A memoir of his experiences as a soldier in the Army and a Christian, Logan narrates his journey from kid to soldier to Christian to conscientious objector to (now) Christian peacemaker. And while he doesn't offer his story as a normative example that everyone should follow, his words are a powerful witness to what it could mean to be a Christian patriot.
Before his conversion, Mehl-Laituri served a tour in Iraq as an artilleryman. He narrates his journey from the frontlines to the baptismal pool clearly and simply. His conversion wasn't a one-time, Damascus-road type moment. Neither was his commitment to pacifism. Rather, he took a series of small steps toward the healing Jesus offers. He found strength to face his post-traumatic stress disorder—a reality all too common among returning servicepersons. But he also found rescue from his own fallenness.
The interplay of Mehl-Laituri's two identities—that of soldier and Christian—shows us the possibility of that third way. Mehl-Laituri relates how he slowly recognized how he'd domesticated God and how he began to see his enemies as fully human, just like him. When he realized he was more like his enemies than he was like God, everything changed. He could no longer kill for God or country.
But he still loved his fellow soldiers and his country. His pacifism hadn't replaced his patriotism.
Thus begins the most interesting and tragic leg of Mehl-Laituri's journey: his unwilling exit from the military. Even though he could no longer in good conscience carry a weapon, he wanted to remain a part of his unit. He applied not for the conscientious objector status that would have him withdraw from the Army altogether but for 1-A-O status, which would allow him to return, unarmed, to combat with his unit. As Mehl-Laituri explains:
"By applying for 1-A-O status, I was actively trying to return to combat. I didn't see Christians as being prohibited from being present in war, only perpetrating it."
Ironically—and this withering critique is central to Logan's message—the Church had not prepared Logan to dialogue effectively about his desires to serve both God and country. He wasn't content with the either-or dichotomy offered him. As he says:
"I found very little satisfaction in the two ideological extremes—strict obedience or absolute objection—currently available to me. Without any substantive theological training, I didn't know how to respond in faith to the call to love my enemies ... All too frequently we fail to engage meaningfully with how church history informs us about war."
If nothing else, hopefully Reborn on the Fourth of July will raise the level of conversation around how Christians participate in war at the level of local congregations. Unfortunately, most churches are ill-equipped to help soldiers understand the ramifications of their choices or to provide them with healthy space to heal from the trauma of war. We need more Christians who, like Mehl-Laituri today, serve as Christian peacemakers.
Mehl-Laituri's story makes clear the stakes for soldiers currently serving in the armed forces. The Church has a great opportunity to lead by working with soldiers and veterans to help them find peace in the wake of their service. These are men and women whose bodies and souls have been traumatized, and the Church can be an instrument of peace to them.
If Mehl-Laituri's story is any indication, that third way does exist. And we would do well to listen to him. Reborn on the Fourth of July book is sure to infuriate and inspire both sides of this debate—which is all the more reason any Christian who seriously questions the role of violence should read this book. The Church needs this conversation.
