2017 Summer Reading For Kids: Diverse Stories For Young People
Creative industries like film and television are represent different viewpoints and upbringings. Now, children's literature is getting into the game.
The man at the center of D.C.'s 2010 shadow campaign scandal was formally charged this morning in federal court. This afternoon, Jeffrey Thompson is expected to plead guilty to two felony counts of conspiracy in connection with fundraising for Mayor Vincent Gray's 2010 campaign and those of several other elected officials. We get the latest update from WAMU 88.5's Patrick Madden and Politics Hour Analyst Tom Sherwood.
MR. KOJO NNAMDIFrom WAMU 88.5 at American University in Washington, welcome to "The Kojo Nnamdi Show," connecting your neighborhood with the world. Later in the broadcast, exploring the link between post-traumatic stress disorder and inner-city neighborhoods. But first, breaking news in a legal case that's shaking the earth of local D.C. politics. Federal prosecutors, this morning, charging a prominent D.C. businessman with felonies connected to a campaign finance scandal that tainted the city's 2010 mayoral election.
MR. KOJO NNAMDIA criminal information filed Monday indicates that Jeffrey Thompson, a contractor and prolific fundraiser for D.C. campaigns, will soon be pleading guilty in a long running investigation into the election that put current Mayor, Vincent Gray, in office. It's long been rumored that Thompson financed an illegal $653,000 shadow campaign to support Gray's candidacy.
MR. KOJO NNAMDINow, prosecutors are formally moving against Thompson, just days before early voting is set to begin in Gray's ongoing race for re-election. The mayoral primary, of course, for the Democrats, being on April 1st. Joining us now by phone is WAMU 88.5 reporter Patrick Madden. Patrick, thank you so much for joining us.
MR. PATRICK MADDENGood afternoon, Kojo.
NNAMDIPatrick, rumors have been swirling for the past several days that prosecutors were getting close to this plea agreement from Thompson. What are the charges they're moving against him with, according to the criminal information that was filed this morning?
MADDENWell, the criminal information lists two conspiracy counts. One at the federal level, another at the district level. Now, these conspiracy counts both point to this massive campaign finance scheme that was executed at both the federal level, so, the federal candidates, including a presidential campaign, as well as two local races here in D.C.
MADDENAnd what's interesting is we've been talking about Gray, the 2010 campaign, and when the other shoe was gonna drop, but what's interesting, what's really new in these court documents, is how many campaigns were funded by these shadow efforts. A total of 15 Council and Mayoral candidates, over the years, have received funds through this scheme.
NNAMDIIn fact, several pairs of shoes have, in fact, dropped. But most attention is focused on the Gray campaign of 2010. And I noticed that in the information, there's an allegation, a charge, of $668,000 that went toward that campaign. And, of course, the big question, I guess, is what can you learn from this criminal information? Or what can people expect to learn in the days ahead about what Mayor Gray may have known about all of this?
MADDENRight. So, we should get a much more detailed statement of facts regarding all of this later today, or in the coming days. Thompson is gonna be in court at 1:30 this afternoon, where it's, in all likelihood, he's going to sign a plea deal. That's what these criminal informations (sic) usually indicate -- a plea deal. So, right now, all we have is just that figure. The $668,000 in unreported corporate contributions and the shadow effort. You know, whether Mayor Gray is implicated, you know, the details that it goes into, we don't know that yet, but hopefully, after today's court appearance, we'll have some more information.
NNAMDIAlso joining us now, by phone, is Tom Sherwood. He is our Resident Analyst. He's a reporter for NBC 4 and a Columnist for the current newspapers. Tom, any indications at all, from this criminal information, that there's a possibility, probability, likelihood prosecutors will also accuse Vincent Gray of something?
MR. TOM SHERWOODIf you read the document that was released, and that Patrick was just referring to, it says that the $668,800 was given to the Gray campaign in 2010. It doesn't say Gray in the document. It says, in cooperation with the candidate and the principal campaign committee, so we will have to wait for those additional documents that Patrick mentioned. But I think it's important to note that this overall document says there were like 15 different campaigns. That made two campaigns for Mayor and then a variety of Council candidates who received money.
MR. TOM SHERWOODI just spoke to the Mayor's office and I said in 2006, there's something like $228,000 that went to a campaign, and (unintelligible) tell me that that's the Adrian Fenty campaign. I don't know if it's Adrian Fenty or Linda Cropp, who were the (unintelligible) candidates that year. But I got the impression that if what the Mayor said, it's gonna be the Fenty campaign. So, some of the Mayor's people are telling me, see, this is -- the Mayor didn't know anything about this. Fifteen different candidates have had money like this given to them. So, it bolsters the Mayor's view that he didn't have any knowledge. Now the Mayor's...
NNAMDIIf, in fact, what we do is draw the inference that going back to that $228,000 in the 2006 campaign (unintelligible) all of the others, if we draw the inference that none of those people knew anything illegal was being contributed to their campaign, but is that a fair inference to draw?
SHERWOODWell, I don't think that's a good inference, cause if you read the document, and I don't have it directly in front of me now, but it simply says, in cooperation with the candidates and the principal campaign committee, suggesting that it's not just the committee run amuck, but the candidate must have known something about it.
NNAMDITom, explain exactly what's gonna be happening at 1:30 this afternoon. Patrick mentioned, Patrick Madden mentioned that there's going to be the formal plea this afternoon.
SHERWOODYes. The criminal information was filed -- that's what we've all been talking about, the 10 page document that details the conspiracy in 2006 to spend all this money. And Jeffrey Thompson will appear in court with his attorneys at 1:30. There will be a detailed discussion with the judge about what he's pleading to, then after that, Ronald Machen, the US Attorney is planning, I think, the first press conference is at 5:30. So, that gives you an idea of how long the court case could last. If it goes in the court at 1:30, not for another four hours do we hear from the US Attorney.
SHERWOODRon Machen, who had said in the past that the 2010 campaign deceived the voters of the District of Columbia. And so we're very anxious to see what additional documents come out after the court case and what US Attorney Ron Machen tells us about the probability, if any, of Vincent Gray.
NNAMDIPatrick, Tom, we've been anxious for three years now. People have been watching this case closely for more than three years. We are now three weeks away, almost to the day, to the April 1st Democratic Primary. So, this comes at a very critical time for all of the candidates involved in this race. Why now? Any indications, Tom?
SHERWOODWell, I'm -- oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were asking Patrick. Well, first of all, voting starts next Monday. We're now three weeks away from the election.
NNAMDIThat's true.
SHERWOODPeople will be voting on Monday. Ron Machen has said on "The Politics Hour," and he has said in public, and he has said in private, Tom, I'm aware of the political campaign calendar, but I don't make my judgments based on it. So, they are aware, because the Attorney General Eric Holder has put out a letter of how prosecutors should be careful not to interfere with political campaigns in the pursuit of criminal wrongdoings. But nothing in that letter suggests that they should hold back and not pull a trigger when and if they have all the information.
SHERWOODAnd that's why Ron Machen has said, I'm sensitive to political campaigns, but I'm doing a criminal investigation. I will act when and if, and only if, I get the information. So, I don't think -- I'm sure there will be many people who will say, oh, this is timed to undermine the Mayor, et cetera, et cetera. I think Machen's experience, what I've seen from him, you've got the information, you pull the trigger. That's what he did today.
NNAMDIBut Patrick Madden, everyone who is watching and listening at 1:30 this afternoon, and at 5:30 this afternoon, will obviously be trying to infer that this is going to have an impact on the political race. And looking very closely and listening very closely to what's said.
MADDENRight, exactly. I mean, I think a couple of things. One, we'll listen to what the other candidates in the race are gonna say. I mean, are they gonna jump on this and state that the Mayor should do something because of this? I think it's also important to note, when you're talking about the timing of this is that the lawyer for Jeffrey Thompson, Brendan Sullivan, is well known as someone who will, sort of, you know, these cases will get delayed. And so, and I think when you look back at what's happened, there's been disagreements between the prosecutors and the Mayor's office over some documents that they wanted relating to a Medicaid settlement.
MADDENSo, I do think while the, you know, prosecutors want to be careful about the timeline of, Tom mentioned the, you know, they're supposed to be careful of the political calendar, this has also been dragging on for, you know, three years now. So, I think that's also playing into this.
SHERWOODIf I could add to that, you know, when people have complained to me about why this has taken so long, why, if you've got something, put up or shut up. All those types of things. You know, last November, Ron Machen told us that there's (unintelligible) . And then I tell people who support Mayor Gray that -- I say, listen, Mayor Gray and Jeffrey Thompson haven't refused to talk to the prosecutor, so when you ask the prosecutor to hurry up, the two principals had not talked.
SHERWOODWell now, one of the two principals in the shadow campaign about Mayor Gray, Jeffrey Thompson, apparently, has talked. So, we are now on the cusp of finding out whether or not the Mayor will be tied more directly to Jeffrey Thompson's shadow campaign.
SHERWOODThe court -- in court, people have already pled guilty to the shadow campaign and indicated that Thompson financed it. What we don't know is, did Mayor -- we know he benefited from it. We don't know if he knew about it or if he purposely chose not to know about it, which also would be a crime.
NNAMDIAnd we'll find out more, hopefully, during the course of the afternoon. Tom Sherwood is our Resident Analyst. He's a reporter for NBC 4 and a Columnist for the Current Newspapers. Patrick Madden is a reporter for WAMU 88.5. Tom, Patrick, thank you so much for joining us.
SHERWOODAll right. Thank you.
MADDENThanks, Kojo.
NNAMDIAnd there seems to be a lot more there than we even thought of, because it was a 10 page charging document. Federal prosecutors say that Thompson, once a well connected D.C. businessman, who held the city's lucrative healthcare contract, used dozens of conduits, including two of his firms and their employees, to make illegal campaign contributions to numerous candidates for elected office. And the practice stretched from 2006 to 2012. So, there's clearly a lot more there. We're gonna be taking a short break. When we come back, we'll be exploring the link between post-traumatic stress disorder and inner-city neighborhoods. I'm Kojo Nnamdi.

Maca, also known as Lepidium Meyenii, is an annual plant that is cultivated in the Peruvian central highlands.The edible root which resembles a radish is a staple food for the local population. Maca has been highly revered for over 2,000 years in Peru. According to legend, the Incan warriors ate Maca for strength and endurance before going to battle.The Spanish Conquistadors called it the "sex herb of the Incas."
Today it is known as Peruvian Ginseng; Modern studies suggest that Maca may promote libido, sexual potency and energy.Women in South America have also used Maca for thousands of years to help maintain their stamina,prevent fatigue and reduce the effects of stress on their body.
Peruvian women begin using Maca at age 3, and remain strong fertile and productive & have immense stamina well into their later life.
Maca may increase a woman's libido, and should be taken daily for best results.The nutritional value of dried Maca root is high, similar to cereal grains such as rice and wheat.It contains 60% carbohydrates, 10% protein, 8.5% fiber, and 2.2% lipids. Maca's reported beneficial effects for sexual function could be due to its high concentration of proteins and vital nutrients. Much of Maca's protein content is in the form of amino acids,which are required for many functions in the body, including sexual and fertility functions.
They also are required in the manufacturing of substances, that transmit signals in the nervous system, and play a major role in the process of sexual arousal and physical performance during sex.The main amino acids that these substances require include phenylalanine and tyrosine and histidine – all three of which are found in significant amounts in Maca. Maca also contains another amino acid; arginine;which may play a role in supporting male fertility and activity. Forever Multi-Maca combines legendary Peruvian Maca with other powerful herbs and select ingredients, to create one of the finest supplements of its kind!
INGREDIENTS in Forever Multi-Maca: Microcrystalline Cellulose, Calcium Citrate, Strearic Acid, Croscarmellose Sodium, Guar Gum, Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide, Dextrin, Dextrose, Lecithin, Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose and Sodium Citrate. CONTAINS SOY.

Combining p-Values: a Definitive Process
D.A.S. Fraser, A.K.M.E. Saleh, and K. Ji (2010). Combining p-Values: a Definitive Process. Journal of Statistical Research, Vol. 44, No. 1, pp. 15-29.
In the Bayes approach the model-data summary is arguably the observed likelihood function; in the frequentist approach it is arguably a -value function assessing a least squares or maximum-likelihood departure; and in the higher-order likelihood approach it is the observed likelihood together with a canonical reparameterization. For likelihood the obvious method of combining is to add log-likelihoods from independent sources: this is in the nature of likelihood itself and is also an implicit Bayes imperative as only likelihood is used in the Bayesian argument. For the familiar frequentist approach the combining of -values is often adhoc: we discuss first a Fisher proposal and then offer a likelihood based alternative. For the higher order likelihood approach the combining begins with the standard summary, which is likelihood plus a canonical reparameterization: we develop the appropriate higher order combining procedure. For the -value summary, Fisher (1973) proposed a quick and easy method for combining -values from independent investigations: multiply them together and use chi-square tables. The proposal received criticism that it did not address power and other conventional criteria, but Fisher had assumed quite clearly that such related information was unavailable. We use first order likelihood theory to derive a simple modification: the -values are converted to likelihood values and the likelihood values to observed likelihood functions and these in turn to a new composite -value. Higher order likelihood offers further refinement: use the standard summary involving the log-likelihood and the canonical reparameterization ; the combining from independent investigations then amounts to adding the observed log-likelihoods and weighting and adding the reparameterizations . We develop this information combining procedure: add log-likelihoods and suitably weight and add canonical parameters. Some examples follow.

Little details are shared by the three-piece regarding their upcoming self-titled album and how it shaped up.
The Gabe Dixon Band, fronted by Gabe Dixon who played keyboards and sang backing vocals on nearly every track of Paul McCartney's 2001 "Driving Rain" album, have marked their territory of being musicians in the same league as Elton John. The three-piece act have recently finished their recording of a self-titled album that is due August 26.
To AceShowbiz, the rock band shared not only the recording process in which they confessed of writing a huge amount of material, they also spit out little details regarding the story of the band and future collaboration wish.
ASB: First of all, what is the history of the band?
Gabe: The Gabe Dixon Band formed as a tribe when we were students at the University of Miami in Florida. We soon adopted a nomadic lifestyle which took us first to New York City and subsequently to the great plains, and beyond. Our present home is Nashville, TN.
ASB: It was understood that you embarked from a heavily-influenced by jazz music. Does that mean you eliminate this music element completely?
Gabe: Jazz will never disappear from our sound completely. It seeps into everything we do. The music we are making now is more song-focused, so you may not hear jazz there all the time, but we maintain an improvisational spirit.
ASB: Many music acts are racing to be untypical and be different in sound in order to stand out. Do you think you fall into this category?
Gabe: I think we are different enough already. If we tried to be different it would probably just sound like we were trying.
ASB: Your hometown paper put your band in the league of Jackson Browne and Elton John. What was your reaction hearing such thing?
Gabe: Those two guys are living legends, and Gabe is a fan of both of them. You can put his name in the same sentence as theirs any time.
ASB: Who would you cite as the biggest music influence for the band?
Gabe: Impossible to answer. We each bring a plethora of music to the groups sound. You would have to ask us one at a time. Leading up to this record, I know we were all listening to Early '70s music.
ASB: The self-titled upcoming record, how was the recording process going? Heard that Dan Wilson managed to get a hand on the record.
Gabe: Yes, Dan and Gabe co-wrote a couple of the songs on the record. We are all fans of Dan Wilson and his song-writing. The recording process was strenuous, but we had the time and resources we needed to make the record we wanted to.
ASB: Could this major release be any different from the releases that you have spawned, "More Than It Would Seem", "On a Rolling Ball" and "Live at World Cafe"?
Gabe: This album has more cohesion. Instead of just recording whatever material was on hand, Gabe wrote about 750,000 songs, which we whittled down to the ten you see on the album.
ASB: Why did it take 3 years to release the LP?
Gabe: Gabe had to write 750,000 songs.
ASB: Do you have a tour in line to support the album?
Gabe: We have a bunch of dates booked and we continue to add more.
ASB: Since you guys are known to be spectacular live player, which tracks from the new album you think could be your favorites to play live?
Gabe: We have fun playing "Till You're Gone" because it's such a high energy song.
ASB: Any collaboration that you wish to do one day?
Gabe: Either Bonnie Raitt or KT Tunstall would be great to collaborate with.
ASB: Please share a personal message to your fans at AceShowbiz.
Gabe: We hope everyone loves the new album!

The Indian Navy, which maintains the airstrip, has announced that the airport will be closed for all civil and military flying between 7 am and 4 pm from Apr 5-8. Navy's public relation officer Commander Prashant Mathur said the flights are being rescheduled and necessary measures are taken to avoid inconvenience to the passengers.
The Airport Authority of India (AAI) spokesman said that every day 25-35 flights will have to be rescheduled owing to the suspension of the airstrip during the day time. The AAI has not received any intimation of cancellations from the domestic or international flights. The chartered flights, the spokesman said, were not scheduled to be operating during these closure days.
Goa airport has maximum traffic early in the morning following which the airstrip is opened for military operations. The civil flights arrive back in the afternoon from 1 pm onwards. "The slot between 1 pm to 4 pm will be affected due to closure," AAI spokesman said.
Indian navy has said that high density traffic especially of the wide bodied aircrafts during tourist season and military operations requires preventive periodic maintenance of the runway. "The planned repairs would go a long way forward towards safe and efficient operations especially during monsoons," the naval spokesman said.

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. One year ago today, the Red Sox were on the verge of completing a nine-player trade with the Dodgers that stunned all of baseball. Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford, and Adrian Gonzalez — three All-Star players with enormous contracts — cleared waivers and were sent to Los Angeles in return for a package of prospects. The new owners of the Dodgers were so eager to prove their credibility that they absorbed $264 million in payroll obligations. The last-place Red Sox, a sullen bunch of underachievers, suddenly had a bright future. General manager Ben Cherington called it an opportunity to build the franchise's next great team. In Gonzalez, the Dodgers had a Mexican-American star they could build a marketing campaign around. That Crawford was still recovering from elbow surgery and wouldn't be able to play until the following season and Beckett was on the decline didn't matter. "I always say I'm not surprised by anything that happens in baseball," said Shane Victorino, then a Dodger and now one of the Red Sox. "But that was surprising." Globe: A year later, effects of Red Sox-Dodgers trade still felt So a year ago today, the biggest money-moving deal was agreed upon (all through waivers, mind you) and two franchises were changed drastically. Obviously more so the Red Sox, but the Dodgers are one of the top teams in the NL as well. This deal is honestly the biggest gift the Red Sox franchise could have asked for last year. There needs to be a plaque made somehwere in Fenway to honor this deal. Imagine where we would be today if this trade didn't happen? I can almost guarantee Adrian Gonzalez would have been in an uproar about the late Sunday night game, followed by the long travel to San Francisco. Would Carl Crawford be hitting above .260? Would he be healthy even? How many times would Josh Beckett be put on the DL at this point? Would John Lackey still be fat and happy hanging with Beckett? Speaking of Beckett, it's really such a shame he's on the shelf for the rest of the season. I would have looked forward to watching that turd get shelled by some of his former team mates. Rest of the links: Globe: David Ortiz chides Ryan Dempster for hitting A-Rod | Herald: A year after mega-trade, Ben Cherington has no second thoughts | Herald: Dodgers make splash | WEEI.com: Almost one year after leaving Boston, Josh Beckett reflects on life with Red Sox, Dodgers | ProJo: Victorino has dropped switch-hitting without missing a beat | ProJo: Storylines abound for Red Sox-Dodgers series

text: Luminous Bodies is a two-week residency to create artworks that shed new light on the human body. Its goal is to reinvent and re-present the body in most inclusive and diverse ways. Visual and textual references, guest artist talks, gallery tours, and studio visits by members of the local art community, help uncover how our bodies are culturally and aesthetically constructed, displayed and controlled. Critiques of residents' work in progress occur on a regular basis. Residents create artworks that reinvent the body through media of their choice, such as photography, video, installation, drawing, painting, performance art, new media etc. The essence of Luminous Bodies is about bringing to light heterogeneous bodies. Indigenous, people of colour, people with disabilities, and diverse gender identifications are encouraged to apply. Apply here. See residency details here.

Location: Sustainable Biofuels and Co-products Research
Project Number: 8072-41000-094-03-R
Project Type: Reimbursable Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Sep 1, 2012
End Date: May 31, 2015
Objective 1: Design, optimize, and implement LMAA (Low Moisture Anhydrous Ammonia) pretreatment, which lead to improved digestibility for subsequent bioconversion (ISU) Objective 2: Develop fermentation process for conversion of fermentable sugars (C5 and C6 obtained from pretreated corn stover) to butanol (ERRC) Objective 3: Design and fabricate in-field LMAA pretreatment reactor for continuous operation (ISU and ERRC) Objective 4: Characterize and evaluate the effects of the LMAA pretreatment on biomass quality during long period of storage. e.g., for retention of carbohydrate and inhibition of growth of fungi or other microorganisms (ISU)
Objective 1: Freshly harvested corn stover will be used, which will be directly contacted with anhydrous ammonia in a designed reactor under very low pressure, termed as ammoniation step. After the ammoniation step, biomass will be subjected to the second step of treatment, which is called pretreatment step. We will explore wide range of reaction conditions to find an optimal and suitable condition for in-field pretreatment system, i.e. different reaction temperatures (40-150°C) and reaction times (1-168 h). Pretreated biomass will be directly saccharified and fermented with no additional washing step. Objective 2: A two-stage fermentation process will be developed and optimized. In the first stage, the pretreated corn stover will be hydrolyzed with commercial enzymes (cellulases, xylanases) to generate a stream rich in glucose and xylose, which in turn will be fermented by Clostridium tyrobutyricum to produce butyric acid. A fed-batch process will be developed for maximizing the final butyric acid concentration. Both separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) configurations will be considered. In the second stage, butyric acid will be converted to butanol by selected butanol-producing organisms such as Clostridium acetobutylicum and Clostridium beijerinckii. Immobilized-cell reactor will be used to increase cell density, which in turn will increase butanol productivity (g/l-h), and to restrict cell growth, which in turn will increase butanol yield (g/g sugar consumed). The gas produced during butanol fermentation, which is mostly CO2, will be generated at sufficient rates to fluidize the biocatalyst pellets, thus providing mixing in the reactor. The use of a two-stage process will allow each stage to be optimized separately. Objective 3: Our team has the required technical skills and hands-on experience for design and fabrication of continuous pretreatment reactor. The PI had worked at ERRC on ammoniation of corn kernel for improvement of fractionation in 2005-2006 and a team at ERRC had designed and built a pilot scale corn ammoniator. Our initial reactor design will be based on our previous model, but it will be significantly modified and redesigned for this project. Objective 4: Characterization of pretreated biomass will be carried out to evaluate the effects of the LMAA pretreatment on biomass quality during long periods of storage. Extensive chemical composition analyses will be conducted over the long term storage from 1 week to 10 months. Desirable outcome of this task will be higher carbohydrate retention with no significant degradaion of fermentable sugars and zero or low growth of fungi or other microorganisms.

Celts rally, fall to Raptors
Sullinger, who had 25 points and 20 rebounds the last time the teams met, was quiet for three quarters Wednesday night. But he exploded for 19 points in a 6:46 span of the finale to finish with 26 points and eight rebounds. He did not score over the final 3:41.Toronto guards DeMar DeRozen and Kyle Lowry kept their team from surrendering all of the 15-point lead the Raptors had at the end of the third quarter. The Celtics got as close as three down, closing to 93-90 with 1:49 left. But Lowry hit a tough 3-pointer to give the Raptors a six-point lead with 1:38 remaining and when forward Terrence Ross followed with another, the fans scrambled for the exits.The Raptors went 11-for-23 from behind the arc and 16-for-18 from the foul line.
Ross, who was 5-for-9 on threes, finished with 24 points. Lowry went 4-for-8 from 3-point land, posting 23 points, nine rebounds and four assists. DeRozen had 20 points and seven rebounds. Center Jonas Valanciunas chipped in with 15 points and 14 rebounds.Guard Avery Bradley had 16 points and guard Chris Johnson 13 for the Celtics (23-48).
Boston point guard Rajon Rondo left the game after getting hit near the eye in the third quarter. He returned in the fourth quarter with nine stitches on the upper bridge of his nose. Rondo finished with 15 assists and nine points, but did not score after returning.The Celtics jumped to a quick 5-0 lead and led 13-7 before getting outscored 24-9 over the rest of the quarter as the Raptors built a nine-point lead after one. The lead grew to 11 on the first play of the second quarter, but Boston went on a 13-0 run that took just 1:37 to take the lead.The Celtics led 41-40 with five minutes left in the half, but the Raptors again finished strong, this time going on a 15-5 run over the final 4:42 to lead by nine at the half.
Lowry hit back-to-back 3-pointers to start the third quarter and the lead was 15. The third quarter produced the third big finish for Toronto, which used a late 9-2 spurt to lead by 15 after three.Notes: Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo, who still is not playing on back-to-back nights and reportedly will not for the rest of the season after coming back from knee surgery, will serve as a color commentator during the first quarter of Monday's game at Chicago. "It should be good insight," said Boston coach Brad Stevens. "He knows he can't give too much insight. We'll go over all the rules on Monday in pretty good detail." ... After the back-end of the current home-and home, the Celtics do the same with the Bulls, Sunday night in Boston. ... Toronto forward Patrick Patterson, out since suffering an elbow injury three weeks ago, was cleared for practice contact. "There's no timetable for game. If we can get him up and going as soon as possible that's the key," Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. ... The Celtics held a pre-game moment of silence honoring two firefighters killed Wednesday in a blaze not far from TD Garden.

Soldier Killed in Afghanistan Buried in Panhandle
Published April 2nd, 2012
MARIANNA, Fla. (AP) - A soldier killed in Afghanistan has been laid to rest in the Florida Panhandle.
A funeral was held Saturday in Marianna for Spc. Daquane D. Rivers. Pentagon officials say Rivers died March 14 in a non-combat-related incident in Afghanistan's Paktika province.
In a ceremony at the Marianna High School auditorium, a minister read a statement from Rivers' mother. Barbara Ann Rivers said her son was a charming and courteous leader. Other relatives told The News Herald that they remembered Rivers for his ability to always make someone laugh.
Rivers was assigned to 2nd Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment, 172nd Infantry Brigade, Grafenwoehr, Germany.

so if dude is moving up in the wirld and getting spins then hes a sellout?Originally posted by Kao.Ali+Jun 23 2006, 02:01 AM-->

I'm still wondering whats wrong with listening to Aesop Rock or MF Doom.
aesop used to be dope back when he made sence, he foudn out that the less sence he made the more mainstream kids like him so he sold his soul to def jux and then nevst thing u know he droped blockhead as his producers (BIG MISTAKE) and starts making videos for MTV (who he used to diss)
as for MF, his shits gettin over played, hes still a classic producer and a genious but his stuff is evereywhere, and personally im tired of hearing it on everything every fucking dj set i hear a track, turn on the radio i hear him its startin to become over played
thats why i have a problem with them twos but i cant speak for no one else
personally yeah i dont like aesops new shit at all from labor days on, but i dont understand the mentality of hating on an artist just beacuse they are becoming popular. granted, most things that are popular are garbage, but i think its good when a guy gets reconition for what he does, as long quality doesnt change
On another tip has anyone heard Pepple under the stair new album? I heard it was pretty good [/b][/quote]
no but WORKING FOR THE COMPANY U USED TO DISS THE SHIT OUT OF TALKIN ABOUT HOW U WOULD NEVER SELL OUT AND BE ON MTV
and then being on mtv DOES make u a sell out, learn you shit before u try to proove me wrong in a hiphop related subject speciall on a emcee that used to be on of my fav emcees..

NEXON - To Develop New RPG Using Source Engine
Looks like a new RPG is in the works using the popular Source engine. Here's all the details:
Valve announces that Nexon has licensed the Source engine to power an upcoming fantasy-themed third-person RPG that has not yet been officially announced:
March 16, 2007 - NEXON, a world leader in online game development, today announces a licensing agreement to use Source, Valve's leading game engine, to power a new title in production for the PC. The upcoming Source-based game, which will to be formally announced at a later date, will be a fantasy based, third-person action title.
"We evaluated all the engine technologies available for licensing and Source was our best choice," said Dong-gun Kim, the producer of NEXON. "With support for integrated network-physics, high-end visuals, and constant adoption of new features, Source is both the most flexible as well as the most robust technology set available today."
"It's an honor to have one of the leading publishing and development studios in the world working with Source," said Gabe Newell, president and co-founder of Valve. "We look forward to working closely with NEXON to supply them with the tools and technology needed to create a working base for creating top-notch games that will be recognized as world-class online offerings."

The vertical lines above my top lip make me look like a heavy smoker, I've never smoked, so it's just bad luck I guess... very happy with restylane in nose to mouth lines so thought I'd try these above the top lip.i had restylane touch injected in the vertical lines above my top lip. I'm pleased with the smoothing of the lines (24 hrs ago), but the area still feels numb, a bit hard and slightly swollen, very little bruising though, just a tiny dot on one side. How long does top lip swelling take to go down? I didn't have it actually into my lips or lip line.

The Power of Agreement
Gregory Winfield
8/10/2012 / Christian Living
Gen 11:6 - The Lord said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. NIV
The above scripture references the Tower of Babel story in Genesis 11:1-9. In the story the people, all speaking one language, decided to make a name for themselves by building a city with a tower that reached the heavens. God, seeing that the people were in agreement, intervened and confused their language so that they couldn't understand one another and scattered them all over the earth.
That's the power of agreement. When the people are one, nothing shall be impossible unto them. This principle is true with sports teams, in corporate America, in churches, or in marriage. Notice it never said how many people were involved in the Tower of Babel incident, which leads me to believe that as few as two people can come together and unleash the mighty power of agreement.
The game plan of our enemy is to divide and conquer. Have you ever noticed that when you are living in sin (practicing sin as a way of life), your first inclination is to separate yourself from the church, from your family, and from your friends? Long established fellowships begin to break down and you begin to think that no one understands you and your unique situation. Think about this rationally for one moment. Out of all the billions upon billions of people that have ever been born, do you really think that no one has ever gone through what you're going through?
Your problem may be rare, but it's not unique. And yet, the message that the enemy will whisper in your ear is that no one will understand your predicament. DON'T FALL FOR IT! He's trying to divide and separate you from others. And when he's able to get you separated off by yourself, he can keep you defeated. Our power comes from remaining connected to others who will pray for us and get into agreement with us that God can bring us through whatever situation we find ourselves in. Again, I say there's power in agreement.
Another detrimental factor to agreement is confusion. The bible says that God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. (1 Corinthians 14:33) KJV. Confusion is discord. It's the absence of harmony. Jesus said in Matthew 18:19, "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven." NIV.
Obviously the more people involved, the more challenging it will be to get everyone to agree. One of the most powerful and amazing opportunities to experience the power of agreement is simply the believer acting in agreement with God. God has given us His will (the bible), so we know with all certainty what He thinks. All we have to do is agree with it, believe it and act on it.
The person that you started out in prayer with may lose hope and stop praying. Your spouse may change his or her opinion on what you started out in agreement on. Circumstances today may be totally different than they were yesterday. But Praise God that you can get into agreement with God and trust wholeheartedly that His Word will never change.
Greg's love of writing and the unique way God illustrates the truth of His Word through everyday life situations has given birth to the FaithsMessenger Blog (
. Our goal is to share biblical principles, stories and analogies in a clear, concise, and understandable way.

20 Amp Breaker tripping with GFCI
I had origianlly posted on here a week or two ago looking for help with a 20 Amp breaker that was tripping sporadically and for no apparent reason. I thought it was my computer and peripherals but they are now on a different circuit via an extension cord and the original breaker is still tripping.
I totally removed ALL loads from the suspect circuit but the breaker still trips...
Here are some facts...
It does NOT trip immediately when reset. Sometimes it takes over a day to trip.
I checked all receptacles on the circuit and none of them had loose connections or other signs of a loose connection (arcing, burns, etc.)
There is a GFCI Receptacle in one half bath that also has other receptacles downstream of it inside and outside of the house. Tonight I tripped the GFCI by pushing the TEST button and reset the 20 Amp breaker back in the panel. The only other potential loads on this circuit are 2 interior ceiling lights and an exterior ceiling light out on the porch. The breaker lasted about an hour and tripped again.
Question... Does the fact that the GFCI was manually tripped mean there is no problem "downstream" of the GFCI Receptacle? I hope so because some of the receptacles it serves are not in a place where they can easily be rewired.
I also put a new breaker in the panel and it still trips so I have ruled out a faulty breaker.
I also swapped the new breaker to another position in the panel so I have ruled out a bus connection problem.
Has all of my testing isolated my problem down to the circuit's HOME RUN wire OR to one of the three ceiling/porch lights or switches to them?
One other thing that really bothers me is that this circuit is over 5 years old and NEVER had a problem before. Coupled with the sporadic nature of the breaker trips, I am totally puzzled. No new work or loads have been added to this circuit...
Any other suggestions are welcome.
You need to check connections on EVERYTHING to do with the circuit. If everything still checks out, then we will go from there. You have a slow fault somewhere....
A "slow fault"? Never heard that term before... what is it and what do I need to do to determine if that is the actual problem? Can it take 5 years to show up?
Have I isolated any problem "upstream of the GFCI when I manually tripped the GFCI Receptacle?
I appreciate ALL help... this is driving me nuts...
You have isolated the problem to "upstream" of the GFCI by tripping it. Now try doing the same by disconnecting the other known devices (lights) on the circuit. Also, try to confirm that nothing else is on this circuit (pumps, heaters, wall wart transformers).
Is it possible to trace the wire route of this circuit from the panel? I have seen instances where a siding nail penetrated the insulation, but would only trip the breaker when the sun heated the nail enough to move it. A PITA to find!
Maybe I've missed this detail - have you replaced the breaker? Could that cause these symptoms? Seems like it might be worth the $5 bucks to try it before going through what sounds like a painfully long trouble-shoot.
After all that I personally would toss the GFCI and put in new one. If the problem still remains then you have a really tuff one
Is this a standard 20 A breaker, or a 20A GFI breaker? Two GFI's in line with each other cause nuisance tripping much of the time. If not a GFI breaker, then the boys are right, check the wiring.
Thanks to all who have posted...
I do believe I found the problem... (fingers crossed tightly)
Appears to have been a loose connection in one of the switches for a ceiling light...
Tightened it up and have not had a trip for over 24 hours now...
Wish me luck that this was it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am about to go look at a 10 bolt "posi" from a 69 Gran Sport to put under my LeMans...Anyone know where I can look up the Buick casting/part/serial numbers so I know what I am looking at?? Are the numbers/codes the same or similar for Buick/Olds/Pont? I figure if there is a guy with the answers in his head out there somewhere...He will be here, on these forums, sooner or later! =)
"The Green Monster"
the only thing I could find on Buick rear ends is at the following;http://www.buickperformance.com/axles.htm
bs.phillips:I am about to go look at a 10 bolt "posi" from a 69 Gran Sport to put under my LeMans...Anyone know where I can look up the Buick casting/part/serial numbers so I know what I am looking at?? Are the numbers/codes the same or similar for Buick/Olds/Pont? I figure if there is a guy with the answers in his head out there somewhere...He will be here, on these forums, sooner or later! =)The GM Corporation 10 bolt 8.5 inch with square bottom.,. This is the preferred rear end.The 7.5 inch with "claws" and less preferred.(Edited, pic added}
When The Flag Drops.,. The Bull ***t Stops.,. P. Engineer, Engine Builder
Well, I bought it. Paid more than I wanted to, but less than I woulda iffin I had built my 8.2 or another 8.5. I believe this is an 8.5. Maybe I can ya'll can figure it out. I did score a '70 rear bumper that needs to be rechromed, but it has no dents...for 100 bucks...sweet!!!I can't seem to post the pics i took...But the numbers are 123/5 and 67890. The latter being a date code. Both numbers are on the left side rear of the cast iron "pumpkin." It is neither of the above pics. It has the "notches" on both sides of the 10 bolt cover. I will post a pic iffin I ever figure it out.
"The Green Monster"
bs,if it has the "notches" then it's most likely an 8.2 corporate rear end which is the least preferred..
Does it look like this?
yep...but dirtier!
"The Green Monster"
That's the Pontiac/Olds/Buick cover for the 10 bolt 8.2 corporate rear end.. really the weakest rear end GM made.
Which one is this guys
"We build Excitement"
Man, TQ'd thats one of them dang stamped housing, "hog head" rearends from like 55-65, right? Is that yours?
9" Ford. When I bought that 27 Chevy the man had a used Currie posi lying on the floor that he was going to put in the 27, well we made the deal cause I pointed at the 9" and told him I'd give him such and such for the whole shebang and the deal happened. Ended up about 1200. and another 1100. to have GM mounts welded in. With Wilwood disc and somewhere between a 3.50 and 3.90 gear I'm a happy camper and still cheaper than buying a Currie off the showroom floor. The cool thing about it is it's 1" forward from the stock mount (you can't tell) but it's like an Altred car from the 70s, better traction ? no wheelhop. Anyhoo sold the 27 and had the 9" left over.-T
"We build Excitement"
LOL- I get them and 9"ers confused - no ring of bolts on the backside. Sounds like you wheeled a decent deal on your setup, man. Thumbs up!
yep. it's the 8.2 allright. i pulled the cover and it seems to be the bolt in axles...not the "c" clip ones. The rear is outta '69 gran sport. seems that Buick beefed up the 8.2 in '68-'69 for the GS 350 & 400 those years. from what I am readin on the Buick sites...seems the 8.2s with the bolt in axles have 8.5 internals. I have not pulled it apart far enough yet to count the axle shaft splines...had surgery on my right hand yesterday so i am limping...sort of...I tell ya'll one thing...Iffin' you wanna torture a gearhead? Give him a new part then immediately hobble his dominant hand!!! My girlfriend is making me stay at her place 'cuz she doesn't want me to do anything stupid. In her words "...if I let you stay here (my house) you'll just take pain pills 'til you can't feel anything and do it (tear down and/or install the new rearend) anyway." "...I'll have to be taking you somewhere, so it might as well be my house (as opposed to the hospital...again)!"
"The Green Monster"
BTW, IDJ...I am Soooo glad u got to keep the GP. Sorry 'bout the Olds though... I was seriously considering calling and talking to u about the GP...I was gonna make u an offer to buy the thing, swap out the 455 and rear for my 400...then offer it back to you at a DEEEEP discount, or make it my daily driver. But, once again life got in the way and I had to get my hand cut up...I work for the Gub'ment but my health insurance isn't THAT good. Co-pays & deductibles ate up any extra cash for the Green Monster!!!
"The Green Monster"
Thanks! I reckon I'm glad things worked out like they did- I got rid of the primered rides and kept the shiny Pontiacs! The 455 was found by pure blessed fate, and I was about to build a huge mistake of a 400. Still trying to unload the scraps from that. You ever try to get rid of a 500557 block? I don't think I could even find someone to haul it off if I offered them ten bucks, and its even clean! Sucks on the hand getting cut. Musta been serious. Maybe you can use HER right hand instead! B-O-P trans and axle guts sure can deviate from the "norm". I worked with a cat who was an Olds service tech since '73, and he told me about some of those things where certain cars got better internals. I do miss the days of scouring boneyards for sought after factory upgrade goodies. Glad the axle purchase wasn't a total bust.

Chapter 27
|1Of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; from whom shall I be frightened?
|אלְדָוִד | יְהֹוָה | אוֹרִי וְיִשְׁעִי מִמִּי אִירָא יְהֹוָה מָעוֹז חַיַּי מִמִּי אֶפְחָד:
|2When evildoers draw near to me to devour my flesh, my adversaries and my enemies against me-they stumbled and fell.
|בבִּקְרֹב עָלַי | מְרֵעִים לֶאֱכֹל אֶת בְּשָׂרִי צָרַי וְאֹיְבַי לִי הֵמָּה כָּשְׁלוּ וְנָפָלוּ:
|3If a camp encamps against me, my heart shall not fear; if a war should rise up against me, in this I trust.
|גאִם תַּחֲנֶה עָלַי | מַחֲנֶה לֹא יִירָא לִבִּי אִם תָּקוּם עָלַי מִלְחָמָה בְּזֹאת אֲנִי בוֹטֵחַ:
|in this I trust: In what is stated above: "The Lord is the stronghold of my life."
|4One [thing] I ask of the Lord, that I seek-that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to see the pleasantness of the Lord and to visit His Temple every morning.
|דאַחַת | שָׁאַלְתִּי מֵאֵת יְהֹוָה אוֹתָהּ אֲבַקֵּשׁ שִׁבְתִּי בְּבֵית יְהֹוָה כָּל יְמֵי חַיַּי לַחֲזוֹת בְּנֹעַם יְהֹוָה וּלְבַקֵּר בְּהֵיכָלוֹ:
|and to visit His Temple every morning: To appear there every morning. Dunash (Teshuvoth Dunash, p. 53) explained in this manner. Menachem (Machbereth Menachem, p. 47) however associated it with (Lev. 27:33), "He shall not inquire (יבקר) ," but Dunash interpreted it as an expression of "morning" (בקר).
|5That He will hide me in His tabernacle on the day of calamity; He will conceal me in the secrecy of His tent; He will lift me up on a rock.
|הכִּי יִצְפְּנֵנִי | בְּסֻכּוֹ (כתיב בְּסֻכֹּה) בְּיוֹם רָעָה יַסְתִּירֵנִי בְּסֵתֶר אָהֳלוֹ בְּצוּר יְרוֹמְמֵנִי:
|That He will hide me in His tabernacle: I am confident that He will hide me in His Temple, and we learned in Seder Olam (ch. 18) that this verse was stated concerning Joash the son of Ahaziah, who was hidden by his sister, Jehosheba, in the attic of the Holy of Holies, as the matter is stated (in II Kings 11:3): "And he was hiding with her in the house of the Lord for six years."
|He will lift me up on a rock: He stood my feet on a rock.
|6And now, my head will be raised over my enemies around me, and I will sacrifice in His tent sacrifices with joyous song; I will sing and chant praise to the Lord.
|ווְעַתָּה יָרוּם רֹאשִׁי עַל אֹיְבַי סְבִיבוֹתַי וְאֶזְבְּחָה בְאָהֳלוֹ זִבְחֵי תְרוּעָה אָשִׁירָה וַאֲזַמְּרָה לַיהֹוָה:
|sacrifices with joyous song: Sacrifices over which a song is recited.
|7Hearken, O Lord, to my voice [which] I call out, and be gracious to me and answer me.
|זשְׁמַע יְהֹוָה קוֹלִי אֶקְרָא וְחָנֵּנִי וַעֲנֵנִי:
|8On Your behalf, my heart says, "Seek My presence." Your presence, O Lord, I will seek.
|חלְךָ | אָמַר לִבִּי בַּקְּשׁוּ פָנָי אֶת פָּנֶיךָ יְהֹוָה אֲבַקֵּשׁ:
|On Your behalf, my heart says, "Seek My presence.": On Your behalf, as Your agent, my heart says to me, "All of you Israelites, seek My presence." And I obey it."Your presence, O Lord, I will seek." [The word] לך is like (Job 33:6): "Behold I am like your mouth to God (לא-ל) ," [that is,] in His stead; (ibid. 13:8), "Will you contend for God (לא-ל) ?" [that is,] in His stead. Here, too, "On Your behalf, my heart says," in Your stead, my heart comes to me to say this.
|9Do not hide Your presence from me; do not turn Your servant away with anger. You were my help; do not forsake me and do not abandon me, O God of my salvation.
|טאַל תַּסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ | מִמֶּנִּי אַל תַּט בְּאַף עַבְדֶּךָ עֶזְרָתִי הָיִיתָ אַל תִּטְּשֵׁנִי וְאַל תַּעַזְבֵנִי אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעִי:
|do not turn… away: Heb. תט, do not bend over, as (above 18: 10): "And He bent (ויט) the heavens."
|10For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord gathers me in.
|יכִּי אָבִי וְאִמִּי עֲזָבוּנִי וַיהֹוָה יַאַסְפֵנִי:
|For my father and my mother have forsaken me: At the time of coitus, they intended their own pleasure. As soon as their pleasure is over, this one turns his face this way and that one turns her face the other way.
|but the Lord gathers me in: The Holy One, blessed be He, guards the droplet and forms the fetus.
|11Instruct me, O Lord, in Your way, and lead me in the straight path because of those who lie in wait for me.
|יאהוֹרֵנִי יְהֹוָה דַּרְכֶּךָ וּנְחֵנִי בְּאֹרַח מִישׁוֹר לְמַעַן שׁוֹרְרָי:
|12Do not deliver me to the desires of my adversaries, for false witnesses and speakers of evil have risen against me.
|יבאַל תִּתְּנֵנִי בְּנֶפֶשׁ צָרָי כִּי קָמוּ בִי עֵדֵי שֶׁקֶר וִיפֵחַ חָמָס:
|to the desires of my adversaries: To the desire of my enemies, to have their desire fulfilled through me.
|and speakers of evil: Heb. ויפח חמס, speakers of evil. Another explanation: An expression of a trap (פח).
|13Had I not believed in seeing the good of the Lord in the land of the living!
|יגלוּלֵא הֶאֱמַנְתִּי לִרְאוֹת בְּטוּב יְהֹוָה בְּאֶרֶץ חַיִּים:
|Had I not believed in seeing, etc.: If I had not believed in the Holy One, blessed be He, those false witnesses would have already risen against me and destroyed me. [The word] לולא is punctuated for the homily which our Sages expounded (Ber. 4a): I know that You give reward to the righteous in the world to come, but I do not know whether I have a share with them or not.
|14Hope for the Lord, be strong and He will give your heart courage, and hope for the Lord.
|ידקַוֵּה אֶל יְהֹוָה חֲזַק וְיַאֲמֵץ לִבֶּךָ וְקַוֵּה אֶל יְהֹוָה:
|Hope for the Lord: and if your prayer is not accepted, reinforce your hope.

"Elegant design and details (colors, font) are perfect for our grandbaby's annoucement party - Red Egg & Ginger Chinese tradition. Heavy card stock too. I made an event date error and they are correcting it at no additional cost to me. Lucky I ordered early which allowed time for the fix. Only comment was that I wished they had a "red" envelope option which would have completed the theme for the party invites."
"This card was a one of a kind invite. We used it for our son's first birthday party. Our family loves it and many will keep it as a keepsake, which is what we intended. Great quality paper and very cute and unique!"
"I absolutely loved the designed but expected better quality pictures. I can't tell if it is an error on my end or a flaw in the printing of the invitations."
"Everyone loved receiving the invite to see how our little guy grew from birth up to one year. I used a metallic marker to label the month below each picture too for added fun! I thought the quality of the card and printing was great. I was very pleased with the finished product and how fast I received the cards."
"I loved my daughter's invitations! Excellent quality and overall service as well as quick shipping to Greece. Thank you so much for making this birthday memorable!"

I recall last year how so many felt the excitement caused by Egyptians flocking into the streets of Tahrir Square in order to protest against the corrupt government of Hosni Mubarark. It was wonderful seeing thousands of men and women shouting for freedom. But, something happened along the road to democracy, it got highjacked by Muslim fanatics who simply wanted to replace one dictatorship with their own dictatorship. It was Muslim fanatics who wanted to end oppression of Egyptians in order to foster oppression of female Egyptians.
Since March, 2011, there has been a significant increase in women being sexually assaulted as they participate in anti-government demonstrations. According to Mozn Hassen the military and police have gone wild groping women and even assaulting them since the sight of a female desiring freedom shocks their conservative sensibilities. No male these days will ever be prosecuted for having a good feel. Why is it that all too often Muslim males want freedom for themselves but not for their wives, sisters or wives?

Seattle: The Triple Door
You might hear Robert Cray while munching on salt-and-pepper squid one night and then discover a folk singer-songwriter the next.
This 1926 theater was saved from boarded-up neglect and turned into an intimate place to hear musicians who are not just run-of-the-mill mainstream.
