Peyton Manning Wife
February 10, 2012 by staff
Peyton Manning Wife, Peyton Manning will finish his NFL career as one of the most prolific passers and field generals to ever play the game. He's a sure Hall of Famer if he never plays again. But Manning is at a crossroads in his career, and maybe in his life. Should he play football again? Should the Colts put him back on a field? Should the Colts wait to find out if he's healthy? Can everyone take the emotion out of this decision? Money may drive the March 8 decision but what drives the future of Peyton Manning?
Here are the four critical questions that have to be answered before we see No. 18 run out on a field again and put himself in harm's way.
Peyton Manning does not control the first decision that has to be made, Jim Irsay and the Colts do. When I wrote contracts for the Jets we used "triggers" or drop-dead dates to force an early decision on the future of a player. March 8 is an interesting date because it precedes free agency. The club will have to make a decision on Peyton before the start of the new year. Indianapolis may want Peyton to take their physical before the 8th, which I doubt he will do. What benefit would he gain from failing the Colts physical? The team would want to show its fan base that Manning simply isn't ready. At any rate I believe the Colts and Peyton will part ways.
The Colts could ask him to push back the date of the March 8 payment of $28 million and buy time to see if his nerve regeneration improves dramatically. That option is unrealistic considering Manning will want guarantees in that option or why keep himself off the free-agent market?
Manning could announce his retirement from football on March 7, thereby enshrining himself as a lifelong Colt. He wouldn't be the first high profile player to weigh all his options and realize "it's time." The club has already paid him legacy money with the 2011 contract without first requiring him to pass a physical, but they still might be interested in some form of reward for this whole thing to end in a dignified manner. The problem with the retirement ending is the Colts retain his rights as a reserved retired player and that would prevent Peyton from a change of heart down the road.
The most unlikely scenario is a trade. Manning's contract is too big for a realistic trade with his health issues but a team could ask for permission to ask Manning's agent Tom Condon if he would be willing to restructure. This is a longshot: I don't believe Manning's parting gesture to the Colts will be to get them draft compensation for his long and storied career.

The mid-range smartphone segment is always an exciting place to be in. Here we have phones that offer the perfect compromise between features, performance and value and every once in a while, we'll get a high-end phone that drops in to make way for new offerings in the upper segments. In India, this sweet spot for phones is typically in the 18K to 22K price range. Today we'll be looking at a new entrant from Huawei, and when I say new, I mean in the Indian market. Huawei launched the Honor U8860, back in December of 2011 and it only recently hit our streets. Let's see if it has what it takes to find a place in this crowded group.
Design and Build
The Honor U8860 is a perfectly presentable phone, something you won't be ashamed of flaunting among your friends. From the front, it's reminiscent of the iPhone 4 with an all black bezel and rounded edges. Up top, we have the earpiece and the front-facing VGA camera. Down at the bottom are the usual set of capacitive buttons. There's no mention of any anti-scratch glass or coating on the screen, but it does manage to hold up well with everyday use. Fingerprints are a big problem and since the brightness levels of the LCD aren't great, using it in direct sunlight is a real challenge. The Honor measures 11mm in depth and weighs around 140g, so it's not the slimmest, but it's far from bulky. The reason for this extra heft is the chunky battery in the phone.
Decent build and design
For connectivity, we have a microUSB port at the bottom, besides the microphone, while the volume rocker and power/sleep buttons take up their usual spots. Around the back, we have a textured rear panel with the Huawei logo and speaker grill. The memory card slot does not support hot-swap, though. The camera is an 8MP sensor and you also get an LED flash. In the box, you get a charger, data cable and a headset. Overall, the Honor doesn't really come across as a phone that costs 20K, as it feels more like a 15K and below phone. Having said that, the build quality is pretty good and we didn't find any creaking parts or weak spots – it feels rugged and durable.
The Huawei Honor U8860 comes with Gingerbread, along with their own skin. They say that it is possible to upgrade it to ICS, although nothing has happened yet, so don't hold your breath. The phone is quite popular on XDA forums, however, so I'm sure you'll find a nice custom ROM for it. The skin is a mash up between a bunch of other skins and has the look and feel of LG's UI, along with similar icons from Samsung's TouchWiz and topped off with a sprinkle of iOS. I like what they've done with the lock screen, which gives you quick access to phone features or to unlock the phone. The interface is pretty quick overall, thanks to the 1.4GHz Qualcomm MSM8255T SoC, along with the Adreno 205 GPU. This is the same chipset used in the Lumia 800 as well.
A mashup of different UIs
The pixel density of the screen is quite good and at 854 x 480 on a 4-inch LCD screen, images and text appear decently sharp and crisp. The black levels and colours are also rich and vibrant. The screen does not have the best sensitivity though, and many times it would not register light touches. Huawei have also included toggle switches in the drop down notification bar, which is handy. The icons have a very TouchWiz feel to them and are big and colourful. In the main menu, there's a little cog like button, which when pressed, causes all the icons to wiggle (like iOS) and you can delete an app directly from there. Also, holding the home button on the homescreen brings up the task manager.
The 8MP cam performs well
The interface is far from pretty or slick, but it's functional and we give Huawei props for making an effort. They've also added a 'Power Saver' mode to the otherwise stock Gingerbread settings. Have a look at the benchmark score against other phones below.
Fares well for a single-core chip
The U8860 does an excellent job with music playback. Huawei has installed two music players, one custom and the other is taken straight from ICS. The custom player gives you access to folder views amongst the standard offerings as well as equalizer presets for headphones, like SRS WOW HD. You can also view the lyrics of the song if it's present. The audio quality is really good with a good pair of IEMs, like the EP-630. The other player is the same stock ICS player and works just the same. The phone has a 4GB ROM, out of which 2.3GB is available to the user.
Good media performance
We really wished Huawei had beefed up the video player as well and added support for DivX and DivX HD out of the box. Moboplayer does come to rescue and manages to play everything from MKV to MOV, but upto 720p only. 1080p files don't play at all. Clearly dual-core is needed for decoding 1080p video content.
The Honor is a quad-band GSM and supports 3G bands up to 2100MHz. This gives it an HSDPA speed of 14.4Mbps and HSUPA speed of 5.7Mbps. Also present is Wi-Fi 'n', Bluetooth v2.1, and DLNA. There's no NFC present. The stock browser does a good job of rendering pages, although the issue with the screen's sensitivity can be a problem when zooming in and out. Apart from the host of default Google applications, like Google+, Maps, etc., Huawei have also bundled some of their own cloud-based features, like Message+, Cloud+ Drive, Cloud+ Gallery and HiSpace. Cloud+ Drive lets you backup apps and data in the cloud or you could back up all your contents to your SD card through AllBackup. They even pre-install Twitter and Facebook, so as far as functionality out-of-the-box is concerned, Huawei has you covered.
Good set of bundled apps
Misc. Features
Huawei has included a ton of miscellaneous apps for you as well. There's a file manager, task manager, Richpad, a cool weather clock, data traffic manager similar to ICS, DLNA app, DocumentsToGo and Security Guard to block unwanted calls. They also have Streams, which lets you manage and view all your social feeds on app.
The Honor U8860 comes with a standard 8MP shooter (no BSI sensor) and an LED flash which manages to capture good pictures with fair amount of detail. We also liked its indoor performance and macro shots. The interface is of stock Gingerbread and it also features an HDR mode, which didn't seem to work as well as we hoped. Video recording maxes out at 720p and apart from slight jerks and skips, the frame rate is pretty consistent. Check out the camera samples for yourself below.

Battery Life
Perhaps the best feature of the Huawei Honor U8860 is the battery, which is a very healthy 1930mAh. In our video drain test, with Wi-Fi 'On' and the brightness set to medium, we got nearly 7hrs and 40mins of battery life. We expected much more, but this is not a bad figure either. The phone lasted for about 7hrs in our loop test, which involved 1.5hrs of calls, 2hrs of audio streaming over Wi-Fi and audio and video playback.
A big battery
At a street price of Rs. 19,900, the Huawei Honor U8860 is playing with the big boys, like the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro, Xperia Sola, Galaxy S Plus and the HTC One V. Perhaps its closest competitor is the Galaxy S Plus due to the same screen size. This makes it very difficult to recommend the Honor, since it doesn't have enough to take any of them down. Like I said earlier, the U8860 would make a very good buy at Rs. 15,000, but not at this price. Plus, issues like the screen sensitivity and poor sunlight legibility make it all the more tough to recommend at its current price.

The Cabin: A Senior Narrative Book Jacket by Parker Jue (2017)
Click to read Artist Statement
A secluded cabin in the woods seems like the perfect getaway for most people. Right? Not for Samantha. Fairly new to the city and cautious, she has her doubts when her boyfriend Wyatt asks her to go out to the wilderness with him for a few days. Once they are there surrounded by nature, Samantha's worries begin to disappear. That is until she finds pieces from Wyatt's not-so-innocent past. Will this turn out to be exactly like Friday the Thirteenth or is Samantha just jumping to conclusions?
With this project, I was able to revisit Adobe InDesign. This year, I have been using mainly Photoshop and Illustrator, so it was nice to be able to design in a different program. Some things that I found challenging was coming up with a design to fit the genre of my book. I wanted to make it simplistic and almost eerie looking. It was difficult for me to decide on the title font and the design elements. I would change the book cover by adding more texture since it seemed too flat. Even though I wanted it to be minimalistic looking, I do think that I could have filled up more of the space that I left empty. Later in the year, I will use what I have learned in this project to help me design a consumer product. I want to improve my skills to make something that catches the attention of people and something that looks visually appealing. This project has allowed me to appreciate the work that goes into design products like book jackets, logos, or packages.

Like me, this website is a work in progress. Blogging for me is like a "lab" where I learn, create, experiment, try out new ideas and share my learning in real time. The ideas here are not always 100% polished, but since I'm always learning and growing, they are never "done" anyway. : ) I do my best to communicate clearly, and go back to edit and update often, but if you find something confusing or encounter a typo, let me know and I'll correct it when I can.
To help me focus and manage my own perfectionist tendencies, I purposefully apply the 80/20 rule before publishing. If I didn't, I wouldn't have a website or blog online at all.
Thanks for understanding!

Can a marquis ever be 'merely a mister'? Myles Trent, Marquis of Hayden and heir to the wealthy Duke of Braughton, is soon to find out. When illness curtails his Continental tour, Lord Hayden retreats to England's bucolic lake country. Finding unanticipated refuge in the home of Everett Whyte and his charming daughter, Anne, Hayden finds that his interests--as an aristocrat and as a mere gentleman--are decidedly at odds. Some local farmers are grumbling that in the aftermath of victory over Napoleon, not all are benefiting from the peace. Aware of the disputes and discontent, Hayden hides his identity while investigating.For herbalist and healer Anne Whyte, 'Mister' Myles is simply another patient--or so she tells herself. Yet she finds the importunities of local swain Perry Wenfield more annoying than usual. And her father's trips into the countryside have assumed a mysteriously troubling aspect. Might she trust Mr. Myles to help resolve her difficulties, or does he present one of his own?

VOLCANOES OF THE DEEP SEA is an adventure that plunges 12,000 feet into the ocean for an unprecedented experience of this vast and little-explored dimension of our planet. The film follows a team of scientists as they dive to research mysterious hydrothermal vents on the mid-ocean ridge. As the dive unfolds, the film and the scientists reveal for us the fantastic diversity of the deep: its strange communities of organisms, bioluminescent creatures and awesome giant predators. An astounding 97% of the Earth's biosphere is located here, in the dark regions of the ocean that we have truly just begun to penetrate and explore.
VOLCANOES OF THE DEEP SEA reveals the planet's marine depths as never before, putting audiences into the most alien and hostile environments on Earth and into contact with the planet's strangest creatures and phenomena. The film will also explore the implications that deep ocean discoveries may have for our understanding of the emergence of life and our search for its traces elsewhere in the Cosmos. Using the deep-sea diving vehicle known as Alvin, the filmmakers capture footage of some of these underwater ecosystems along with some helpful CGI reconstructions. Ed Harris delivers the narration.

It's hard to argue that China has played a constructive "builder" role in Iraq recent years, especially as its oil interests have expanded, just as it is difficult to counter China's claim that U.S. mistakes contributed to the rise of the Islamic State. Regardless, over time, oil and China's insatiable energy needs are almost certainly going to push Beijing to become a more active Middle Eastern stakeholder. It's time that China stops fighting that reality.

Relationship between depressive symptom severity and emergency department use among low-income, depressed homebound older adults aged 50 years and older
Mood disorders
Previous research found a high prevalence of depression, along with chronic illnesses and disabilities, among older ED patients. This study examined the relationship between depressive symptom severity and the number of ED visits among low-income homebound older adults who participated in a randomized controlled trial of telehealth problem-solving therapy (PST).
The number of and reasons for ED visits were collected from the study participants (n=121 at baseline) at all assessment points—baseline and 12- and 24-week follow-ups. Depressive symptoms were measured with the 24-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD). All multivariable analyses examining the relationships between ED visits and depressive symptoms were conducted using zero-inflated Poisson regression models.
Of the participants, 67.7% used the ED at least once and 61% of the visitors made at least one return visit during the approximately 12-month period. Body pain (not from fall injury and not including chest pain) was the most common reason. The ED visit frequency at baseline and at follow-up was significantly positively associated with the HAMD scores at the assessment points. The ED visit frequency at follow-up, controlling for the ED visits at baseline, was also significantly associated with the HAMD score change since baseline.
The ED visit rate was much higher than those reported in other studies. Better education on self-management of chronic conditions, depression screening by primary care physicians and ED, and depression treatment that includes symptom management and problem-solving skills may be important to reduce ED visits among medically ill, low-income homebound adults.
Trial registration
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00903019
Older adults in North America use emergency departments (EDs) at a higher rate than younger adults
Compared to their nondepressed peers, depressed older adults tend to use both ambulatory and inpatient healthcare services at a significantly higher rate even after adjusting for chronic medical illness, and their high rates of ED visits and return visits have been well documented
Despite the high volume of extant research on depressed older adults' ED visits, few studies examined the longitudinal relationship between depressive symptoms and the frequency of ED visits. The primary aim of the present study was to examine (1) whether depressive symptom severity was associated with the frequency of ED visits at two different points of time among low-income, depressed homebound older adults aged 50 years and older; and (2) whether changes in depressive symptom severity overtime was associated with the changes in the frequency of ED visits and return visits. The older adults' self-reported reasons for their ED visits were also presented. The study subjects were residents of central Texas in the United States who participated in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a short-term psychotherapy—telehealth-delivered or in-person problem-solving therapy (PST) compared to telephone support call—for low-income homebound older adults with moderately severe or severe depressive symptoms at baseline. The longitudinal data on the changes, or lack thereof, in the study subjects' depressive symptoms and ED visits during the study period offered a great opportunity to examine longitudinal relationship between depressive symptoms and the frequency of ED visits among these older adults who were largely underrepresented in previous research on older adults' ED use.
According to the 2011 United States census data, of 40 million non-institutionalized adults age 65 years and older, 23.5% (9.2 million) had ambulatory disability/activity limitation and about 10% were considered homebound
Employing Andersen's behavioral model of health services use
Setting and participants
Following the definition of "homebound" older adults in Medicare
The exclusion criteria were (1) high suicide risk; (2) dementia (assessed with the Mini-Cog
Of 186 referrals received during the 24-month recruitment and enrollment period, 124 met the inclusion criteria, and 121 who agreed to participate in the study were randomly assigned to three groups—telehealth-delivered PST; in-person PST and telephone support calls (attention control) with each intervention consisting of six weekly sessions. Of the 121 who began participation in the study, 14 (11.6%) dropped out during the intervention phase and 11 (9.1%) dropped out during the follow-up period. Fifteen participants did not complete their 12-week follow-up assessment and 25 did not complete their 24-week follow-up assessment. Attrition was due mostly to deteriorating health that resulted in hospitalization, nursing home placement, and death; however, the baseline demographic, family support, and clinical characteristics (including depressive symptom severity and number of chronic medical illnesses); intervention group assignment; and self-reported frequency of ED visits of the dropouts (
The protocol for this research was approved by the Institutional Review Board of the University of Texas at Austin, and the research was carried out in compliance with the United States National Institute of Health regulations, policy, and guidelines for human subject research (
ED visits
The number of and reasons for ED visits were collected from the participants at all assessment points—baseline and 12- and 24-week follow-ups. At baseline, they were asked to report ED visits during the preceding six months. At 12-week follow-up, they reported the ED visits since baseline, and at 24-week follow-up, they reported the ED visits since the 12-week follow-up. The sum of the ED visits reported at these two follow-up assessments was the frequency of ED visits between baseline and 24-week follow-up. One study
Predisposing factors
These were gender, age groups (50–59, 60–69, and 70+), and race/ethnicity (African American, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic White).
Enabling factors
These were Medicaid coverage (yes = 1, no = 0) and family support, which was measured by the 6-item family support scale of the Lubben Social Network Scale Expanded
Depressive symptoms as a need factor
Depressive symptoms were measured with the 24-item HAMD. It consists of the GRID-HAMD-21 structured interview guide
Other need factors
The number of diagnosed chronic medical conditions was reported by the participants with these questions at baseline: "Have you ever been diagnosed by a healthcare professional as having any of the following conditions?" and "Is [the condition] still a problem?" Included conditions were arthritis, hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, lung disease, cancer, and kidney disease. Only conditions that were still problems were counted. Pain frequency at baseline was measured with two questions: (1) Have you had chronic pain in any part of your body during the past six months? and (2) How would you rate the frequency of your pain on a 10-point scale, with 1 being very infrequently (like once a week or less often) and 10 being all the time? Those who reported having no pain were assigned a score of 0.
All analyses were performed using SAS v. 9.2 (SAS Corp., Cary, NC). Prior to assessing bivariate associations between the frequency of ED visits and participants' predisposing, enabling, and need characteristics, the probability distributions of the outcomes were assessed. Due to non-normal distributions, robust regression, which is robust to heteroscedastic error and outliers, was used for all group comparisons using SAS PROC ROBUSTREG. H1 and H2 were tested using zero-inflated Poisson regression models using SAS PROC GENMOD, with the frequency of ED visits at baseline and at 24-week follow-up, respectively, as the dependent variable, and with predisposing, enabling, and need factors (depression severity at baseline or 24-week follow-up and the number of medical conditions and pain frequency at baseline) evaluated as covariates. H3 was also tested using zero-inflated Poisson regression analysis, with the ED visits at 24-week follow-up as the dependent variable and the difference between the 24-week follow-up HAMD score and the baseline HAMD score as the predictor variable, controlling for the baseline HAMD score and other covariates. Prior to implementing the models, we assessed possible overdispersion of the count outcome data by testing whether the negative binomial dispersion parameter was significantly different from zero. Because it was not, we used a Poisson, rather than a negative binomial, distribution to model the count outcome variables.
Because there were a large number of variables relative to the sample size and all the variables could potentially be included in both the logistic and count portions of the model, a variable reduction strategy was employed. Guidelines provided by Hosmer and Lemeshow
Participant characteristics
ED visits, depressive symptoms, and reasons
Association between ED visits and depressive symptoms: multivariable analysis
Preliminary analyses of covariates in the logistic portion of the zero-inflated Poisson model for baseline ED visits indicated that Hispanic status, family support, and the number of medical conditions met the inclusion criteria based on the decision rules described above. The same analyses for the zero-inflated Poisson model for ED visits at 24-week follow-up indicated that Hispanic status, being in the 60–69 age group, and the number of medical conditions met the inclusion criteria based on the decision rules described above. Table
The ED visit frequency reported at follow-up was significantly positively associated with the follow-up HAMD score, female gender, 50–59 years of age, and pain frequency and it was marginally significantly associated with being in the 60–69 age group. The ED visit frequency at follow-up was also significantly associated with the HAMD score change since baseline, with lower level of reduction or higher level of increase in HAMD scores predicting higher ED visit frequency.
Depression is a serious problem among older adults who are homebound due to disability
This study found that 67.7% of the subjects (who provided data at both baseline and follow-up) used the ED at least once during the approximately 12-month study period and that 61% of the visitors made at least one return visit during the 12-month period. These are much higher visit and return visit rates than those reported in other studies
The study findings support H1 and H2 in that the ED visit frequency was significantly associated with higher depressive symptoms at both baseline and at 24-week follow-up. As noted
Contrary to the findings of some previous studies, this study did not find the number of medical conditions (and level of disability) to be a significant correlate of the ED visit. The discrepancy between the previous and the present study findings is likely due to the greater homogeneity of our subjects compared with those in the previous study samples with respect to their physical and functional health and their economic status. Although pain was the most frequently cited reason for making an ED visit, pain frequency was associated with making an ED visit only at follow-up, controlling for predisposing, enabling, and other need factors. Hispanics were more likely than participants of other ethnicities to use the ED at baseline but not at follow-up, which may indicate that their level of self-care knowledge and skills was lower than that of the other participants at baseline. For example, one study
The study had a few limitations. First, the self-reported ED visit data were not validated against the subjects' medical records. Even with possible underreports due to a recall or response bias in self-reports, however, the ED visit rate was much higher than those reported in other studies. Likewise, the reasons for ED use were not validated against the discharge diagnoses. Although self-reported reasons are important in exploring the users' perception of their need for an ED visit, discharge diagnoses would have helped us understand the true nature of their conditions that brought them to the ED. Second, we chose the 24-item HAMD cutoff score of 15 that was not validated. As described previously, in choosing the cutoff score, we used an empirical approach based on research data from (1) a study of home healthcare patients with major depression that found the mean baseline 24-item HAMD score to be about 15
Despite these limitations, the study has the following clinical implications: First, repeat ED users who tend to visit the ED for the same reason over time need to be provided with better education on self-management of their chronic conditions, taking into consideration their level of health literacy. Second, given the significant relationship between higher depressive symptoms and ED visit frequency, PCPs and EDs may use ED visits as a cue for depression screening. Third, instituting depression treatment that includes symptom management and problem-solving skills may be important to reduce ED visits among medically ill, homebound adults. Fourth, effective pain management is likely to reduce the need for ED visits among low-income homebound older adults. Clinicians need to educate these older adults about effective pain management strategies and the possible relationship between pain and depressive symptoms. Fifth, further research is needed to identify factors contributing to higher ED use by those who are under 70 years.

Bob Pulford is a very good pick - one of the true elite third liners of the draft. Probably not as good defensively as Gainey or Carboneau, but better offensively.
Check out this two-page article on Bob Pulford from the
Jan 15, 1966 Ottawa Sun
that is loaded with quotes from peers and opposing coaches praising him and his ability to "wreck havoc" on the other team. After reading that article, I understand why the veterans committee inducted him into the Hall of Fame in 1991.
Here's another article from
The April 14, 1964 Montreal Gazette
about the playoff series between the Wings and Maple Leafs. It mentions that the Wings have the best PP in the league, but the Leafs have the best PK, and their best PKer is Bob Pulford. It also mentions how Pulford won Game 1 in OT by beating Gordie Howe to a puck and staying a stride ahead of him.

That's it Henrik, take a seat. You haven't the ability to handle the rough stuff. You are
top-6 forward or bench
, or maybe if a team has two backchecking centers on the 2nd/3rd lines you could see some minutes on the back line of an all-time great squad.
As others have said, it's not certain yet how Mark plans on having his team turn out, but I think it would be foolish to draft Ted Kennedy and not given him a defensive role of some kind.

In the voting for Left D AS: Crawford receives 4 votes for 1st team and 3 for Alternate. The undrafted player who was awarded the 2nd AS Team spot received 2 votes for 1st team and 6 for Alternate. In a voting system that gives more weight to 1st team votes (like the modern system) Crawford would have beaten out the undrafted and been awarded the 2nd Team spot. Furthermore, this is backed up by a player's poll from the same year in which Crawford was voted 2nd Team AS.
EDIT: Crawford also appears to have gotten more votes than the 2nd Team Right D winner, so that year could be considered a 3rd place finish for him (before the era adjustment).
I thought you were probably trading up to get Crawford, since he was the best defensive D on my board and we tend to think alike. IMO, he's the best pre-1950 defenseman not in the Hall of Fame and definitely capable of being a #3 in this.
Sturm, I agree that Crawford came by his record in a weak era (for defensemen and overall) - and that's probably why nobody clamored for him to get into the Hall.

— George Moore, The Bending of the Bough
Exploring the concepts of race and identity is admittedly a foolhardy task. Attempting to examine these issues from a Christian perspective makes it not only foolish but presumptuous as well. But beginning a Christian evaluation of race and identity by extensively quoting the militant atheist Richard Dawkins shifts it from presumptuously foolish to downright absurd.
Absurd though it may be, I believe that Dawkins provides some valuable insights on the topic that can help illuminate the issue for Christians. My utter disdain for the British zoologist is no secret; I think he is ridiculously overrated as an intellectual. But his recent article on "Race and creation" for Prospect is insightful and, I believe, worth quoting in some detail:
We are all members of the same species, and no reputable biologist would say any different. But let me call your attention to an interesting, perhaps even slightly disturbing, fact. While we happily interbreed with each other, producing a continuous spectrum of inter-races, we are reluctant to give up our divisive racial language. Wouldn't you expect that if all intermediates are on constant display, the urge to classify people as one or the other of two extremes would wither away, smothered by the absurdity of the attempt, which is continually manifested everywhere we look? But this is not what happens, and perhaps that very fact is revealing.
People who are universally agreed by all Americans to be "black" may draw less than one eighth of their ancestry from Africa, and often have a light skin colour well within the normal range for people universally agreed to be "white."
Wouldn't a Martian, unschooled in our conventions but able to see skin shades, be more likely to split them three against one? But in our culture, almost everybody will immediately "see" Colin Powell as "black," even in this particular photograph which happens to show him with possibly lighter skin than both George W Bush and Donald Rumsfeld.
What is going on here? Various things. First, we are curiously eager to embrace racial classification, even when talking about individuals whose mixed parentage seems to make a nonsense of it, and even where it is irrelevant to anything that matters. Second, we tend not to describe people as of mixed race. Instead, we plump for one race or the other. Some American citizens are of pure African descent and some are of pure European descent (leaving aside the fact that, in the longer term, we are all of African descent). Maybe it is convenient for some purposes to call these people black and white respectively, and I am not proposing any principled objection to these names. But many people – probably more than most of us realise – have both black and white ancestors. If we are going to use colour terminology, many of us are presumably somewhere in between. Yet society insists on calling us one or the other.
Third, in the particular case of "African-Americans," there is something culturally equivalent to genetic dominance in our use of language. When Mendel crossed wrinkled peas with smooth peas, all the first generation progeny were smooth. Smooth is "dominant," wrinkled is "recessive." The first generation progeny all had one smooth allele and one wrinkled, yet the peas themselves were indistinguishable from peas with no wrinkled genes. When a white man marries a black woman, the progeny are intermediate in colour and in most other characteristics. This is unlike the situation with peas. But we all know what society will call such children: "black." Blackness is not a true genetic dominant like smoothness in peas. But social perception of blackness behaves like a dominant. It is a cultural or memetic dominant. The anthropologist Lionel Tiger attributes this to a racist "contamination metaphor" within white culture. And no doubt there is also a strong and understandable desire on the part of the descendants of slaves to identify with their African roots.
Fourth, there is high interobserver agreement in our racial categorisations. A man such as Colin Powell, of mixed race and intermediate physical characteristics, is not described as white by some observers and black by others. A small minority will describe him as mixed. All others will without fail describe Powell as black – and the same goes for anybody who shows the slightest trace of African ancestry, even if their percentage of European ancestors is overwhelming. Nobody describes Colin Powell as white.
Whatever we may think as observers of superficial appearances, the human species today is, to a geneticist, especially uniform. Taking such genetic variation as the human population does possess, we can measure the fraction that is associated with the regional groupings that we call races. And it turns out to be a small percentage of the total: between 6 and 15 per cent, depending on how you measure it – much smaller than in many other species where races have been distinguished. Geneticists conclude, therefore, that race is not a very important aspect of a person. There are other ways to say this. If all humans were wiped out except for one local race, the great majority of the genetic variation in the human species would be preserved. This is not obvious and may be surprising to some people. If racial statements were as informative as most Victorians used to think, for example, you would need to preserve a spread of all the different races in order to preserve most of the variation in the human species. Yet this is not the case.
As Dawkins' later points out, racial labels can tell us something informative about a person but the "information" that can be conveyed by racial characteristics is normally trivial and tells us nothing significant about their abilities or personality. This is not to say that genetic differences between the races do not exist. But the question the Christian must ask is what purpose these differences serve in God's creation.
Almost all physical differences between the races are the result of adaptation to environment. Non-circular nostrils, for example, help to warm the incoming air in cold Northern climates while dark skin is an effective sunscreen against ultra-violet rays in the Southern Hemisphere. Such traits would increase the likelihood of survival within geographic populations, causing the genetic characteristics to be passed on from one generation to another until entire groups would share similar physical features.
As populations became less static and inter-breeding outside of the geographic group became more frequent, these features become less dominant. While they still exist in many forms, they became less necessary to ensure our existence. Technological advances, for instance, can offset much of the role that biology played in our fight for survival.
While this shift from the biological to the cultural has been occurring for millennia, we are, as Dawkins points out, "curiously eager to embrace racial classification." In fact, we often attribute characteristics to race that belong in the realm of cultural differences. Recognizing when this occurs is particularly important because as we move from the biological to the cultural we are moving away from God's creation to that which is created by man.
In the next part of this series, we�ll explore in more detail why we should be more willing to let go of racial classification in favor of recognizing distinctions based on culture.

"KTVU, virtual channel 2 (digital channel 44), is the Fox-affiliated television station serving the San Francisco Bay Area. Licensed to Oakland, California, the station has been owned by Atlanta-based Cox Enterprises since 1964, making it the largest Fox affiliate by market size that is not owned and operated by the network. KTVU's studio facilities are located in Oakland at Jack London Square, and its transmitter is located at Sutro Tower in San Francisco."
KTVU began as an independent station on March 3rd, 1958. For a brief time in the early 1980s, KTVU was a nationwide superstation, seen mostly on parent Cox's cable systems. However, KTVU left the national scene and merely became a regional superstation, seen on cable systems in northern California, Nevada, Oregon and to a lesser extent Utah. On October 9th, 1986, KTVU became a charter affiliate of the newly-created Fox Television Network.

Flint Mom Calls Cops–Rats Out Son's Pot Stash Over A Piece Of Cake
You can't have your cake and get high too! That was the lesson a Flint boy learned the hard way.
You can't have your cake and get high too! That was the lesson a Flint boy learned the hard way.
The founder of the Alaska Cannabis Club revealed herself over the weekend when she quit her job as a reporter live on TV.
The moral of the story? Be sure to lock your phone before discussing drug deals!
Well, that must have been a surprise.
Police have been involved after employees at a Pennsylvania Salvation Army found a substantial quantity of pot in the pocket of a pair of pants that was donated.
How do you stop a thieving pothead from stealing a sign with the infamous number 420? Just ask the Colorado Department of Transportation.
More stellar parenting...
A cellphone video showing a 22-month-old boy smoking pot from a bong, while adults laugh in the background has a Washington mom in serious trouble.
The judge made a rather generous offer, but this defendant just had to push the envelope.
Michigan Voters in four cities, including Flint, will decide this November to legalize or de-penalize local marijuana offenses.
Here in Flint, officials recently approved a citizens initiative to amend the city marijuana code.
A new survey suggests that more teenagers today are smoking pot rather than cigarettes.
Robin Thicke is singing a sour note right about now. The R&B crooner was arrested in New York for marijuana possession. Yep, you read it correctly. We are just as shock as you are.

This Quiet Earth is a 1985 New Zealand movie, based on the same titled novel, written by Craig Harrison. It concerns the lives of a few people that have seemed to survive an event (called "The Effect" by the main character) that followed something called "Project Flashlight." Our main character, Zac Hobson (played by Bruno Lawrence) is a scientist who apparently wakes up to a completely empty world. Puzzled by a radio that picks up nothing, Zac drives into an equally desolate city where, it seems, everyone has vanished. Even crashed cars and plains have no traces of bodies in them. When he finally reaches the lab where he works, he discovers that "Project Flashlight" has been activated.
Borrowing from such stories as I Am Legend, Zac immediately goes on a looney binge, collecting every material thing he's ever wanted (including a stuffed Emu, apparently), takes up residence in a loverly house and indulges himself in all sorts of earthly pleasures. Then, predictably, he goes crazy and delivers a speech of confession to a large crowd of cardboards cut-outs (all big names; we have Bob Marley, Adolf Hitler, Pope John Paul II, Alfred Hitchcock) about how he had allowed his scientific brilliance to be mal-used by powerful people "in the common good." This rampage includes shooting up a church while proclaiming himself God and a lot of other assorted property destruction. During this sequence, he runs over a baby carriage and, upon finding it empty as everything else, he decides to put a shotgun in his mouth. However, a bigger explosion makes him decide to live instead, and in the next scene, he's leaping about in the surf somewhere, good as new... kinda.

South Shore vodka company wins international competition
April 8, 2013
When Matt Levitt, director of operations for Tahoe Blue Vodka, entered his product in the Ultimate Spirits Challenge this spring, it was David versus multiple Goliaths.
The South Shore liquor company, just 1 year old, was competing against behemoths like American Harvest Organic Spirit Vodka — a product from the same company that developed Grey Goose — in the prestigious New York tasting competition. Even becoming a finalist would be a feat.
"We sent it off thinking, 'If it's as good as everyone says it is, maybe it will come back with an award,'" Levitt said.
Tahoe Blue Vodka not only won an award, it took home top honors in the unflavored vodka contest at what Levitt calls the "most widely recognized" spirits competition in the U.S.
The New York City-based Ultimate Beverage Challenge picks journalists and buyers for the judging panels, according to the organization's website. The experts blind taste the products and then score each one on a 100-point scale. The category's highest scorer takes home the Chairman's Trophy — an award Tahoe Blue Vodka can now call its own.
"Winning a Chairman's Trophy is huge for a fledgling brand on many fronts. One, the Chairman's Trophy signifies that for this year's competition, that brand showed the best qualities under totally blind and therefore fair and unbiased conditions," Judging Chairman Paul Pacult wrote in an email.
Levitt and his business partners began developing Tahoe Blue Vodka in early 2011. He and his wife, Melody, were vacationing with another couple when they started talking about launching a brand that would embody what they loved about Tahoe.
Levitt Googled ways to start a private label liquor company and quickly realized that no comprehensive guide existed. So he continued using the Internet to find sources for items like corks, glass and, of course, vodka that he brought together to form the product.
The three-blend vodka is now distilled in Mountain View, Calif., and distributed to locations around California and Nevada. The Tahoe Blue brand speaks to the clarity and smoothness of the liquor, according to Levitt.
"You ever wake up with a product idea? This was one of the ideas that just came out of the blue," Levitt said. "Everything that we love about Tahoe, we wanted to relate through this brand … The business was never about making the product in South Lake. We're headquartered here, we pay taxes here, we donate money here."
While Tahoe Blue Vodka is Levitt's side job — he pays the bills by selling paint — he said he wants to keep expanding the company. He hopes to have Tahoe Blue Vodka on shelves throughout California and Nevada by next year and transition to running the company full-time.
"We're one year into it and it's selling really well. It's a lot of work, a lot of door knocking, and it's just a matter of spreading the word," Levitt said. "It is what they do in (the competitor's) case, while this is just kind of a hobby for us. That's what makes the award all the more remarkable."

LUMBERTON — A Lumberton councilman's towing company is operating at half-speed after fire destroyed one of its trucks on Saturday.
Councilman John "Big Wayne" Robinson, who operates Big Wayne's Towing and represents Precinct 2 on the City Council, suspects the fire was set intentionally. The Lumberton Police Department is investigating it as suspicious.
The tow truck that was destroyed was one of two that serves the business.
Robinson said he was on vacation in Florida when he awoke Saturday morning to 10 missed calls from Lumberton City Manager Wayne Horne and Police Chief Mike McNeill.
"I'm thinking something drastic happened in the city of Lumberton, like a murder," Robinson said. "I took a deep breath and called Chief McNeill."
The front seat and front end of the truck were burned, destroying a vehicle Robinson valued at $50,000. Additionally, about $3,000 in damage was done to two vehicles parked next to it that partially melted from the heat. The fire was reported at about 1:45 a.m. Saturday and occurred near Robinson's home, but did not damage the house. The Lumberton Fire Department responded, saving the nearby vehicles from additional damage.
"It affects my business 100 percent," Robinson said. " … Other than being a city councilman, that's how I feed my family and pay my bills."
Robinson said he believes the truck was set on fire by another towing company after a dispute in which he tried to help a resident recover a vehicle the company had towed from his property about two weeks before the fire. The keys were in the truck, he said, so the perpetrator could have stolen it.
"I feel that I was a victim because I chose to stand up for the people," he said.
Robinson declined to name the towing company and The Robesonian has elected not to publish details that may identify it.
Anyone with information about the fire can call Detective Charles Keenum at the Lumberton Police Department at 910-671-3845.
