Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's interview on A9 TV dated 7 June 2012
"I do not think the Hour will ever come. But if I should be sent back to my Lord, I will definitely get something better in return.." (Surat al Kahf, 36)
What do they say? "The Day of Judgment will not come. It will come only millions of years from now. We come from eternity and we are going to eternity." The purpose here is to avoid the Day of Judgment, the portents of the Day of Judgment and the End Times. This mindset also existed in the time of the Companions of the Cave. This is how they avoided the End Times, how they covered it up and the Day of Judgment.
"I do not think the Hour will ever come. But if I should be sent back to my Lord, I will definitely get something better in return." You know there are such people who say, "If there is the Hereafter, He will place me in the best place." You may have heard it very frequently. That mindset of disbelievers has always been the same in every phase of the history.
His companion, with whom he was debating, said to him, 'Do you then disbelieve in Him who created you from dust, then from a drop of sperm, and then formed you as a man? (Surat al Kahf, 37)
What were they saying first while communicating the message of Islam at that time? First, Creation. How human beings were created. There is a clear response to the creed of happenstance, coincidence. So they also follow our method. They provide evidence regarding Creation.
He is, however, Allah, my Lord, and I will not associate anyone with my Lord. (Surat al-Kahf, 38)
In other words, he says that he will not make them as idols for himself. He says that he does everything to earn Allah's good pleasure. He does not want to appear fine to his school friends, his friends at the club. He does not make them his idols. He wants to live as a servant to Allah, insha'Allah.
Why, when you entered your garden, did you not say, "It is as Allah wills, there is no strength but in Allah"?
That means that when one enters a garden, even if there is a single grape, that place is simply a garden. So what would a Muslim say in this case? Masha'Allah. There is no god other than Allah. Masha'Allah. How nicely has our Lord created. This is obligatory. If a person has a house with a garden and if there is any grape or other fruit, then while entering that garden he needs to say, "Masha'Allah. There is no god other than Allah."
"Though you see me with less wealth and children than you possess." (Surat al-Kahf, 39)
In the End times, people boast by using their children and possessions. The fact is however, in time kids die, possessions disappear. On the Day of Judgment, everything will be reduced to nothing.2012-06-28 10:43:37

WINTER PAR, Fla. (March 24, 2012) - In their first conference series of the season, the Rollins baseball team split Saturday's double-dip with the No. 15 Lynn Fighting Knights taking game one 5-3 and falling 4-3 in game two.
In game one, Lynn kept the Tars (18-8, 1-2) scoreless through five innings before a three-run sixth tied the ball game.
Senior Sean Reilly got things started for the Tars as he reached on a walk. Reilly then advanced to second on bloop-single to right and then came around on a Brandon Curson RBI double. Brian Lattanzi then scored the following run on a groundout while Curson scored the tying run on a Boston Langley shot up the middle.
The Tars bullpen shutdown Lynn's offense as they allowed only two hits in the final five innings of play and struck out six batters.
Anthony Figliolia scored the go-ahead run for the Tars in the seventh as he led off the inning with a walk. A Hunter Mayfield sac bunt moved him over to second while a Kevin Mager RBI single drove him in. Rollins then added an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth as Mark Mazur scored on a failed pickoff attempt by Lynn's Joe Perrotta. Perrotta was also charged with the loss in 2.0 innings of work.
Right-hander Mike Howard (3-1) earned the win for the Tars pitching three innings in relief. He struck out a team-high four and allowed one walk and two hits. Mike Herrmann also picked up his second save of the season in 0.1 innings of work. Herrmann came into the game with two outs and bases loaded in the top of the ninth.
In the rubber match, Lynn (20-8, 4-2) took the early lead scoring a lone run in the opening frame, followed by two in the third and another lone run in the fifth.
In the bottom of the sixth, Rollins rallied for two runs to cut the deficit in half. Greg Smith and pinch-runner Brett Flutie crossed the plate on a Kevin Mager bases-clearing double. Mager finished game two going 2-for-3 with two RBI, a double and a stolen base.
Rollins was then able to keep Lynn scoreless in the final inning of play. In the home half of the inning, the 15th-ranked Fighting Knights were able to record two quick outs before closer Andre Colon issued his only walk of the day. A dropped ball by the first baseman kept Rollins alive and allowed Greg Smith to reach. In the following at-bat, Colon threw one in the dirt that put Curson and Smith in scoring position. Pinch-hitter Boston Langley then drew out his count to full and laced a ball in the left side gap to plate Curson but the laser arm of Lynn's Alex Bello gunned Smith out at home to end the ball game.
Pitching in the rubber match for the Tars was right-hander Anthony Figliolia. He was saddled with the loss, his first of the season. Figliolia (4-1) also allowed two walks, the first for him this season, walking the lead-off man.
Lynn starter Jason Whalen made quick work of his opponents in 5.2 innings of work as he recorded a game-high five strikeouts. Colon picked up the save, his third.
Rollins will be back in action on Friday, March 30 as the Tars host the Tampa Spartans. First pitch is set for 6 p.m. Fans can catch all the action live on the Tars Sports Network at RollinsSports.com.

Place 1 cup water, mirin, and shoyu in a bowl and mix. Bring 2 cups water to a boil, add the spinach and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Place in a colander, rinse under cold water to set the color and drain. Squeeze excess liquid from spinach with your hands. Place the spinach in a shallow casserole dish and pour the mirin and shoyu marinade over. Let marinate for 30 minutes, mixing occasionally to evenly marinate. Place marinated spinach on top of a sushi mat. Wrap the mat completely around the spinach, and squeeze to remove excess liquid. Remove the mat and slice the spinach in 1 inch long sections. Place the spinach on a serving platter with the cut surface facing up like sushi. Garnish with crumbled bonito flakes, if desired, and Eden Shake.

As shattered as Kristen Stewart (Bella Swan) reportedly is over her latest breakup with Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen), word has it KStew has given up trying to "win him back." No word on exactly what she was doing to win him back, besides reportedly drunk texting him, but whatever it is she was supposedly doing, she has supposedly stopped. Supposedly.
- A source tells Hollywood Life:
- "She pretty much knows that at this point there is nothing she can do to win him back."
Listen, if a guy comes back to you because you've been begging and pleading, then he did it out of guilt and that guilt won't last long. Guilt turns into resentment. However, if you leave him alone, and let him miss you on his own accord, and then he comes back to you, he's yours forever. So goes some saying.
The best way to "win back" a guy is to leave him alone. Get on with your life. Fuggedaboudit. So maybe this is KStew's plan. Pure genius!
Since the break, Kristen has reportedly been "just laying low, hanging out with her closest friends, and trying to stay out of the spotlight as much as possible," according to the latest source. Which is weird because last I heard, KStew was chain-smoking and drinking like a sailor and drunk texting Rob. Which is it, people?!
I have a feeling that despite Kristen giving up, this isn't the last we've heard of Robsten. Their contract says so. Joke!
Do you think they're done for good?

I was killing some time in Target the other day, and stopped to check out the new grills they had on display. Now, I don't expect top-of-the-line from Target, but they had a Sunbeam and another selling in the $500 range. These were fancy all stainless models with side burner and a rotisserie, but I noticed a couple things that made me wonder. First, their version of flavorizer bars has slots all along the top of each bar. That seems to defeat the purpose of the bars, which is to vaporize drippings and direct any that don't vaporize away from the flame to prevent flare-ups. With the slots, I think very little would vaporize, but it would drip through directly into the flame. Result, instant flare-up.
Second, the pan underneath the burners was very flat with only a depression around the center grease drain opening. This looks like an inefficient grease collection design that would allow residue to collect in the bottom, requiring frequent cleaning to prevent a fire.
I'll stick with my Weber Genesis with solid flavorizer bars and the area below the burner shaped like a large funnel to direct all the gr ease to the collection pan. I only clean the funnel-like area by scraping it with a putty knife every couple months.

Good sleep is a pillar to health. It's so important, in fact, that it's really an oversight on my part that after six months of A Challenge to Change, we haven't yet done a challenge on sleep!
Well, that all changes this week, because for this first installment of a three-part series on sleep medicine, I'm challenging you to sleep at least seven hours each night in a peaceful, calm environment.
Why seven hours? Well, to be honest, it's better to sleep eight or nine, but I can respect the fact that you're busy; so we can compromise at seven hours per night, which many Americans fall short in reaching. In fact, the National Sleep Foundation recommends that adults try for 7 or 8 hours of sleep every night for optimal health - lower blood pressure, increased calorie burning, less anxiety and stress, and improved focus and mental clarity.
The key to this challenge is going to be not just how much you sleep, which is pretty simple in and of itself, but how easily it is for you to get to sleep and make it a consistent part of your routine going forward.
Maybe the most important think you can do is to create a regular bedtime routine to prepare for sleep. Whatever it is that you do - brushing teeth, setting the alarm, laying out your clothes for the next day - do your best to abide by it pretty strictly, and set and keep a regular bedtime and wake-up time to get your body acclimated to sleep time as a consistent activity.
A second critical part of improving your sleep time and quality is to make a point to reserve the bedroom for bed activities - and not technology, pets, working, or talking on the phone. We've all got laptops, cell phones, tablet computers, and other mobile technological devices, and while they are great tools in everyday life, too much screen time (especially right before and/or in bed) can make it difficult to fall asleep consistently each night.
Make the bedroom your technology-free zone! Need an activity to help you sleep? Read a book - an old fashioned, hardcover or paper back one - instead of using the phone or laptop in bed.
Going along with the tech-free zone in your bedroom, keep your bedroom relatively dark, quiet, and at a comfortable temperature. The NSF recommends a cool (but not cold) temperature to help sleep, and though there are people who sleep better in warmer rooms, they have found that most maintain optimal sleep in a slightly cooler bedroom.
Now it's important to remember that health doesn't exist in a vacuum. Take stock of your eating habits, as well as your exercise schedule. We'll talk more about these two things over the next two weeks in the challenge, but really simply - the best you eat, and more consistently you get outside and exercise, the better off you'll be when it's time to go to sleep at night.
Sweet dreams - for now - and we'll cover more sleep medicine and information next week!

Forests of the Pacific Northwest
This is timber country in a BIG way. Mature forests of Fir, Hemlock, and Cedar provide an overarching boundary for many parts of the trail.
Rivers and Bridges
The trail runs along a coastal plain with the Olympic Mountain Range on the south and the Strait of Juan de Fuca on the north. Rainfall from moist winds off the Pacific Ocean falling in the mountains as snow feeds north flowing streams.
Dungeness Spit
One of the natural wonders of the Olympic Peninsula is a natural sand spit extending six miles into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It was created by tidal currents in the straits depositing soil washed down from the mountains.
News Flash!
Olympic Discovery Trail Pathway to the Pacific
The route of the Olympic Discovery Trail (ODT) traverses almost 130 miles of lowlands, bordered on the south by the Olympic Mountain Range and on the north by the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It starts in the Victorian seaport of Port Townsend and ends on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. The trail is a wide, paved pathway designed to multi user standards for bicyclists, hikers, and disabled users, with a 4 shoulder for equestrians where appropriate.
Construction started in the 90s. Completed sections now total 69 miles, with another 9 miles under construction (May 2015). Right of way agreements are in place for over 87 miles. This website shows the entire route, with temporary on-road routes, approximating the final route, shown connecting the completed portions. Planning information is provided for the resulting 126.2 mile trail.
The Olympic Peninsula is Washington States premier destination for non-motorized touring, filled with views of snow capped peaks, ocean vistas, fast flowing rivers and pristine lakes, and everywhere the majestic forests of the Pacific Northwest. The presently completed trail winds through fields and farms, parks and towns; over creeks, rivers and ravines on restored railroad trestles; and past beaches and national recreation areas.
The trail exhibits a wide diversity of fauna and flora -- an unmatched range of natural beauty. This website has been designed to support trip planning. In addition to the Map section with many downloadable PDF maps, note the Trip Planning Section which covers things like Suggested Itineraries, Bike Shops, Campground Locations, Equestrian Information, Disabled Information, Local Transportation, Trail Status, etc.
In many ways the ODT is a major highway for non-motorized travelers, spanning the entire peninsula. We have included a Side Trips Section, providing information and maps for towns along the trail and for natural attractions along the way that can be easily reached from ODT on side roads or trails.
We hope this website provides the information you need to utilize the trail with confidence. However if you have questions or need assistance with planning, please contact us, either with the contact button at the bottom of each page, or with the User Forum tab at the top of each page.
Railroad Trestles and Tunnels
Five original Railroad trestles have been converted for trail use. Three of them are over 400 feet long. The highest is 85 feet above the stream bed and was curved to increase stability.
Along the Waters Edge
Four miles of shoreline trail along the Strait of Juan de Fuca offer views of Canada across the straits and of Port Angeles Harbor. The trail continues another two miles through the city's downtown waterfront and..
To The Ocean Beaches
The western terminus of the trail route is the Pacific Ocean beachside resort town of LaPush, which is also headquarters for the Quileute Indian Tribe.

Yea or Nay? Rachel Zoe's Husband Wears More Eyeliner Than She Does
Rachel Zoe and her hubby, Rodger Berman, hit up the Corine Roitfeld for MAC party during Paris Fashion Week. Eyeliner on guys: Love it or hate it?
-Lucia Peters
Paris Fashion Week has been in full swing over the past few days; naturally, this means that in addition to all of the, y'know, fashion shows, there have also been a ridiculous amount of star-studded parties going on in the City of Light. Case in point: LE BAL, the Tuesday night shindig at the Hotel Salomon de Rothschild celebrating Carine Roitfeld's capsule makeup collection for MAC. According to the Hollywood Reporter, guests to the event included supermodel Karlie Kloss, fashion photographer Mario Testino, actress Zoe Cassavetes, designers like Vivienne Westwood and Alexander Wang—and stylist Rachel Zoe and her husband, Rodger Berman. Who, as you can see in the photo snapped at the party above, wears more eyeliner than Rachel.
As such, I would like to pose the following question: Where do you stand on guyliner, Bettys?
To be fair, the theme of the party was "Black Tie and Smokey Eye;" there's no reason why the "Smokey Eye" bit should be limited women, so in a way it's kind of refreshing to see Rodger going all out for it. But while I respect him for doing it, that doesn't necessarily mean I LIKE it.
I'm sort of on the fence about the whole eyeliner-on-guys thing when done right, it's kind of intriguing, but I think it only works when it's part of a complete look. Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong does this, and unattractive onstage tantrums aside, the eyeliner usually works with the whole punk aesthetic he's usually got going on. Or at least, I'm willing to roll with it:
Read As If! Alicia Silverstone's 10 Best 'Clueless' Outfits for Her 36th Birthday
When, however, the eyeliner was intended to appear natural but has accidentally been applied with too heavy a hand, it never works. Not even on Richard Armitage in the BBC's Robin Hood (and believe you me, I LOVE me some Richard Armitage):
I look at pictures like this, and all I can think is, "Oh! You're wearing eyeliner!" Which, for some reason, is not a problem with things like the Billie Joe pic above. I have no idea why, and maybe it's just me, but still.
But you know what? At the end of the day, if Rodger Berman wants to rock guyliner, then he should rock guyliner. Good for you for sticking to your guns, Rodger!
Anyway, for Carine Roitfeld's take on the smoky eye, which factors prominently in her collection for MAC, check out the video below:
Tell us: Where do you stand in the great guyliner debate?

AS she sets her sights on Rio 2016, Tilly Gray has decided she needs to get out a bit more.
The England swimmer, a former student at Commonweal School, is currently taking a fortnight's break from the sport after competing at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow but she'll soon be back in the pool as she kick-starts her Olympic cycle.
One of her strategies for keeping ahead of the game in the coming months is travelling around the continent, testing herself against new opponents and experiencing different racing atmospheres.
She told the Advertiser: "I've looked at the competitors I race and a lot of them have been going abroad a lot this year. We do a lot of competitions in GB and we're used to the same competitors all the time, just in a different pool and different environment and I think it's really important you challenge yourself with top end swimmers, world class swimmers – to throw you in the deep end.
"Then, when I go to major competitions, like the Commonwealths and Worlds, it's not going to be so different and I'm not going to be frozen. I'm going to gain so much more from that."
Gray's European adventure begins in Italy in November, where she'll be racing in a short course meeting, before she heads to Marseille in January for an event in which she medalled and pulled off a season's best last time around.
Then, in a little under a year from now, she'll be joining the Mare Nostrum Tour - a series of meets around the Mediterranean - turning out for an as-yet unconfirmed French club.
The tour involves swims in Monaco, Calais and Barcelona - a perk of the job.
"It's just going to be really great to go on these tours, get out of the country and get a better feel," said Gray. "I've been to just about every pool in this country at a certain level and after a while you want to challenge yourself and make it a bit more exciting. I wouldn't mind a bit of sun, so why not kill two birds with one stone?"
Gray has been able to plan her Euro-trip thanks to recent sponsorship from local furniture company Neptune, whose contributions have taken a financial weight of her mind following recent UK Sport funding cuts.
"I've recently secured a new sponsorship with a local company called Neptune. They're supporting me for the next couple of years and it's going to make a massive difference to my swimming career," she said.
"It's such a cut-throat sport, we've had a massive funding cut from UK Sport so we now have to go out and find our own means of funding. It's just going to allow me to do European competitions, go abroad and get the experience I want to achieve in swimming and help me live a little more comfortably.
"It would take the financial stress off my mind so I can solely focus on my swimming commitments, training and putting in the best performance. It's going to help me so much this season to put the blinkers on and get me to my end goal."
Any local businesses or individuals interested in sponsoring Gray should contact her via email: email@example.com.

The Religion Department seeks to provide:
- specialized courses for students majoring in the discipline, and
- general courses for students interested in religion, but who are pursuing other majors
The department offers courses in a variety of areas in the study of religion, clustered around the particular interests and expertise of the faculty. We have courses that fulfill the requirements for Cultural Diversity, Perspectives on the non-Western World, Writing Intensive, as well as Arts and Humanities. In addition, we offer a Jewish Studies minor. Successful religion majors come out of the program with three skills central to a sound liberal arts education:
- the ability to recognize and communicate to others the diversity of human cultural expressions
- the ability to interpret one's own and others' different cultural perspectives as systems - as coherent, integrated world views
- and the ability to articulate the significant connection between religion and ethical behavior - why we and others do what do.
It is not the goal of our program to convince students to "be religious," but rather to think critically and reflectively about the religious dimension of their own and other people's experience. A comparative approach is essential for critical reflection, so students will study not one but several religions, namely, Western Biblical traditions, Islam, East Asian and native traditions, and contemporary religious movements like eco-feminism. Recognizing in addition the importance of experiential learning for understanding "religion-in-action," we encourage students with interests in social activism and/or particular religious traditions to pursue them in service learning or other extra-curricular activities and will provide students with opportunities to reflect on the religious dimensions of such experiences.

COMMUNITY spirit has been set in full flow in the Stoops area of Burnley following the opening of a communal garden.
The Mayor and Mayoress of Burnley, Coun Andy Tatchell and his wife Lorna, cut the ribbon at the official opening of the Rome Avenue community garden.
Once an empty wasteland regularly used by flytippers, the area has now been completely seeded with grass and wildflowers.
Fruit-bearing hedges and trees have also been planted in the garden for the project.
It has been completed by Calico in partnership with Lancashire County Council and Newground CIC and supported with external funding from Lancashire Environment Fund and local councillors.
Alicia Foley, Calico's community involvement advisor, said: "The community garden will be a fantastic resource for the area.
It's great to see what was once derelict land become a vibrant community space for all residents to enjoy."

DETROIT - The international connection between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario began in 1929.
The Ambassador Bridge construction was completed that year and officially opened Nov. 11, 1929. Just a year later, the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel construction was completed and dedicated Nov. 1, 1930.
On Friday, Canadian and Michigan government leaders joined to announce an agreement between the two entities to build a new bridge between the countries.
Here is some history on the existing tunnel and bridge:
Detroit-Windsor Tunnel
According to its website, www.dwtunnel.com, the tunnel was finished a year ahead of schedule in 1929. The tunnel is jointly owned by Detroit and Windsor. It is operated by two separate agreements by the Detroit and Canada Tunnel Corporation.
Approximately 27,000 to 29,000 vehicles pass through the Tunnel on a daily basis. The Tunnel handles almost nine million vehicles per year, of which 95 percent are cars and 5 percent are trucks, according to dwtunnel.com.
One and 1/2 million cubic feet of fresh air is pumped into the tunnel each minute.
A $50 Million renovation program was launched in 1993, including a completely new road surface, new sidewall tiling, new lighting, complete video surveillance and restoration of the Tunnel's stone cover beneath the Detroit River, according to dwtunnel.com
Owned and operated by the Detroit International Bridge Company, along with the Canadian Transit Company, the Ambassador Bridge is the busiest international border crossing in North America.
Bridge construction began in 1927 and it was ready for use in 1929.

A NEW exhibition highlighting Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Rossetti's obsession with one of his models opens at the Lady Lever Gallery in Port Sunlight this week.
More than 30 paintings, drawings and photographs of Jane Morris, including a number which were used as studies for some of Rossetti's most famous works, feature in Rossetti's Obsession, which opens on Friday, June 20.
Bringing together rarely displayed works, the exhibition focuses on Rossetti's fixation with Morris and his depiction of her as the ultimate femme-fatale.
The exhibition has been created, in association with Bradford Museums and Galleries.
Sandra Penketh, director of art galleries for National Museums Liverpool, said: "More than 150 years since the founding of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, this radical, vibrant movement still excites audiences today.
"Jane Morris as a model, muse, wife, lover and artist in her own right was at the heart of this explosive group which challenged the art establishment of the time.
"Her striking features, tumbling long hair and haunting stare appear in so many of Rossetti's finest works that they have become indelibly associated with the movement.
"The Lady Lever Art Gallery has one of the best Pre-Raphaelite collections in the world so we're delighted to tell the story of the relationship between two of the movement's chief protagonists."
Born Jane Burden, Morris came to the attention of Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelites in 1857. In 1859 she married William Morris, but shortly after began a long affair with Rossetti.
Sharing a deep emotional attachment, Morris and Rossetti's relationship was the source of many of Rossetti's mid-to-late paintings, regarded by many as being among the best of his career.
The exhibition includes the studies Pandora (1878), La Donna della Finestra (1870) and La Donna della Fiamma (1870) from this period but it is the painting Proserpine (1882) which had the deepest resonance with the couple.
The exhibition also gives a small insight into Morris's life away from Rossetti's gaze.
A stunning tapestry (267 x 150cm), designed by her husband William Morris and produced by Morris and her daughter Jenny, reveal a skilled embroiderer and an important member of the Arts and Crafts Movement.
It is also a rare example of the collaboration between three members of the Morris family.
The exhibtion is on display until September 21.

THE clinical director of surgery at the trust which runs Basingstoke hospital today broke down while giving evidence at the inquest into the death of Elisha Langley.
Merv Rees, who examined 20-year-old Elisha before her death, was close to tears as he told the inquest how he and his colleague, Fenella Welsh, believed Elisha may have beeen suffering from abdominal problems, and said he was "astonished" when a CT scan revealed a brain abscess.
He said that "in hindsight and with speculation" that he believed the abscess must have been the result of a secondary infection, which built up under the skin, following an operation to remove a sebaceous cyst from her head.
He told the inquest that the wound had been closed so thoroughly after the operation "that the infection would be under tension" and the pus would have had to find "somewhere to go"- seeping through the skull and causing the abscess.
He added that there was no way of knowing what caused this secondary infection.
Coroner Keith Wiseman also heard from Mr Rees that the hospital, in Aldermaston Road, had taken extra measures to care for Elisha, of Worting Road, because of her learning difficulties, and had allowed the family to be with her from morning to night, ignoring usual visiting hours.
As previously reported in The Gazette, Elisha died on December 23, 2012. The operation to remove the cyst was carried out on November 19, 2012, and she had been readmitted to the hospital twice prior to her death, but the CT scan which ultimately diagnosed the abscess was not carried out until December 21.
Mr Rees said that the hospital has since made a number of changes to the way in which it deals with cases, including extra checks on any lumps of 5cm or more to "confirm that it does not need further reassurance from a CT scan".
The inquest also heard from Dr Kandiah Chandrakumaram, who carried out the operation on Elisha.
Dr Chandrakumaram said he was satisfied after the operation that it had gone well, despite noticing during the procedure a roughness and erosion of areas on the skull- a symptom which is very rare.
He said: "The defects that we saw were of no significance at all" and he explained that this would have been caused by the cyst being in existence for a long period of time.
He said of the rough areas that he "did not think it was serious" after coroner Keith Wiseman put to him a quote from an independent report into the case that said: "one would not expect pressure atrophy (the wasting of tissue as a result of pressure) of the skull from the cyst".
The report, read out by Mr Wiseman, continued: "If he had inferred this at the time it would have been cause for investigation and a scan."
The inquest continues.

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute has awarded the University of Colorado Boulder $1.5 million over five years to continue to transform science education by encouraging more real-world research experiences for undergraduates, ranging from cancer studies to screenings for new antibiotics.
The new award will allow CU-Boulder to strengthen hands-on, research-oriented teaching to students planning to major in science, technology, engineering or mathematics, popularly known as STEM, said Julie Graf, director of CU-Boulder's Biological Sciences Initiative. CU-Boulder is one of 37 research universities across the nation to be awarded a total of $60 million in the new round of funding announced today by HHMI, which is headquartered in Chevy Chase, Md.
Prior HHMI funding to CU-Boulder has helped engage more than 1,600 undergraduates in research projects spearheaded by roughly 230 faculty members from 15 departments. Graf said 92 percent of those students earned undergraduate STEM degrees. In addition, 82 percent of underrepresented minority students from that pool earned undergraduate STEM degrees, and 47 percent of the total number of CU-Boulder STEM students went on to earn doctoral degrees, said Graf.
"This new HHMI award will allow more opportunities for CU-Boulder undergraduates to conduct authentic, discovery-based scientific research, and particularly help in the retention of underrepresented minority students in STEM," said Graf. "With the support of this HHMI grant, we can provide more research opportunities for students and provide them earlier."
In introductory biology courses, for example, some CU-Boulder students will be conducting screenings for both anti-cancer drugs and novel antibiotics. Based on the work of CU-Boulder's faculty scientists, such student investigations will contribute to the existing body of scientific data, Graf said.
According to the Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA, nearly 40 percent of the 3 million American students entering college each year plan to study engineering or science. But about 60 percent of those do not complete STEM undergraduate degrees. Another concern among science educators is that about 80 percent of underrepresented racial and ethnic groups – which represent a growing portion of the talent pool – drop out of STEM majors after their initial college years, said Graf.
The new award from HHMI to CU-Boulder is bolstered by the university's strength in scientific research, global leadership in STEM education, success in engaging undergraduates in research and a long-term commitment to diversity, Graf said.
"By equipping undergraduates with research experiences and skills across disciplines, this HHMI grant will open doors to exciting STEM careers in Colorado and beyond and contribute to the state's leadership in the biomedical and biotechnology arenas."
CU-Boulder's Biological Sciences Initiative, or BSI, offers multiple programs for students and teachers, said Graf. With funding from HHMI, for example, BSI has offered paid research opportunities to undergraduates in the biological sciences as well as many free programs for K-12 teachers in Colorado.
Since 1989, HHMI has provided $11.5 million in grants to support CU-Boulder undergraduate research and K-12 outreach programs. CU-Boulder has matched HHMI support with its own financial resources and facilities, including funds to construct BSI's teaching facility and money to remodel a large classroom in the molecular, cellular and developmental biology department to make it more interactive, said Graf.
HHMI has awarded more than $935 million in grants to 274 public and private colleges and universities since 1988 to support science education in the United States. HHMI support has enabled more than 92,000 students nationwide to work in research labs. In addition, HHMI funding has been used to help roughly 109,000 K-12 teachers teach science more effectively.

About the Book
Beside the Waters is a study of the genealogy, beginning in late 1600 and early 1700, of two parallel lines of Dewell and Deuell families in Virginia, in the counties on the south side of the James River, and in the Peninsula on the north side. It begins with some Dewells in England and Virginia in the 1600's. Beside the Waters includes colonial, national, and state history blended with the tribulations and triumphs of the Dewells of Virginia. Again and again in the profiles of family members, that combination of probative facts, coincidence, and pure drive open mysteries to believable interpretations. Part of its support shows that "probably" is the right word in some conclusions. This honest word is as reassuring as the notes that support the narrative and the extensive appendix. The well placed and identified photographs and selected documents add genetic and cultural as well as legal heft to the accumulating story. Numerous other family details are included that were uncovered through interviews with living relatives.

Lender's actions must at all times be prudent, lawful and commercially reasonable, and consistent with the lenders practice on its non-SBA loans.
For all servicing/liquidation actions not requiring SBA's prior written consent, Lenders must document the justifications for their decisions and retain these and supporting documents in their file for future SBA review to determine if the actions taken by the Lender were prudent, commercially reasonable, and complied with all Loan Program Requirements.
Such documentation will be crucial to SBA's review of the lender's handling of a loan that the lender has submitted for guaranty purchase and to SBA's determination as to whether the lender's actions were prudent and commercial reasonable.
This same documentation and justification is also crucial to facilitate the comprehensive SBA review of liquidation wrap-up reports which Lenders must submit to SBA at the completion of liquidation.
Lenders may deduct reasonable and appropriate expenses from sale expenses prior to submission of SBA's share of liquidation proceeds. See SOP 50-51 Para 8-24.

i find this web site and i like to be able to see if some one could help copy the way this guy cook his steak
this the web site http://www.gardnersbarbecue.com/smoked_ribeye.html
Hickory Smoked Ribeye Beefsteaks
Forget everything that you know about fine beef. Then let your imagination go wild. Pick your wine and get ready for the best steak you've ever tasted. I offer only Ribeyes because I believe them to be without question the best cut of beef for open fire cooking and these ribeyes are especially well suited for smoking because I cut them 1.5 to 2 inches thick depending on the marbling. Most aficionados of fine beef prefer to enjoy their favorite cut rare. Hickory smoking however, adds a new dimension to beef and for that reason I offer my smoked ribeyes only in thick cuts and only medium rare. Any less and the beauty of fine smoking is lost. Perfect smoking of Ribeyes of this quality require extremely close attention and care. They must be handled gently and allowed to cook over low, even heat and heavy smoke. As with every selection, I spice these ribeyes and roll them in my unique blend of pepper. These ribeyes are also rubbed lightly with garlic. Then they are placed over the glowing hickory coals, slow smoked, and flipped as often as necessary to insure the perfectly even golden red hickory finish.
When medium rare has been achieved the steaks are removed from the smoker and allowed to cool before wrapping so as not to move beyond medium-rare. Then, they are double wrapped individually in heavy foil and quick-frozen.
I'll put it to you this way; these ribeye steaks will be the best tasting piece of beef that you will taste in your lifetime. One try, and nothing else will ever compare.
as you can see i could use a little help

why does the forecast say clean for WB for a wind out of the north on thursday? it's more east-facing than south. :confused:

why does the forecast say clean for WB for a wind out of the north on thursday? it's more east-facing than south. :confused:
Ill defer to the Wrightsville locals as soon as they chime in on this one, but in the interim, the slight westward wind component of the forecast is probably creating a call for glassy conditions (forecast is N winds 10-15kt in the morning shifting NNW for the afternoon). Check out http://www.cormp.org/, and particularly the WB stretch of coastline and subtle changes in shoreline orientations going north and south.
I'm not a WB local, but wrightsville faces about 120 degrees, which is ESE/SE facing. A light to moderate N wind doesn't put too much chop there, especially since the land to the N coves around preventing a Northerly fetch from creating N wind chop.
from my experiences, WB and CB/KB usually see the same size during any given swell, but depending on the wind, one may be cleaner than the other. it just confuses me when i see green for one and red for the other - there has never seemed to be that much of a disparity between the two places whenever i go. i would expect to see green and blue, but not one with semi-glass and the other with unsurfable chop.
I surf wb and the whole green, blue and red surface doesnt bother me i just use it for the hight. then i check the wblivesurf.com for the surface of the day and the height. Because sometimes it's different here then what swellinfo says. But that's my opinion though.
well either way, forecast looks good for tomorrow so i am going to ditch my job for the day. gotta be back for my night job though. sucks because it looks like the winds will be cooperating most in the afternoon/evening. hopefully the winds stay more out of the west than anything else... i haven't been in the water in about 10 days, i'm gettin anxious :eek:
Yeah i know i'll try to go in the morning if not i'll ditch lacrosse practice. And go surf since i'm trying out a board my freind wants to sell me so i wanna try it out on a good day.
i'll be hittin WB tomorrow in the morning after 9am class
hope to see some of you guys out there, holler at me i'll be on a 6'2" shaped by green room
i went out this afternoon andd it was still nice.

COMMUNITIES across North Yorkshire are today beginning the clean up after heavy flooding throughout the region.
Although heavy rains were replaced by light showers yesterday, overflowing sewerage systems in Old Malton meant many properties suffered damage.
Claire and Guy Richardson's home in the town's main street suffered, but they saved some possessions.
Claire, 38, said: "The flood defences have held which makes a huge difference. The water is at skirting board height. We have got our stuff upstairs and, living next door to the Royal Oak pub, we have taken some empty barrels and put our sofa on top of those."
Martin Dales, town councillor, said organisations tackling the floods had been "fantastic", but he hoped it would lead to a new look at protecting the town. He said the sewerage system was unfit for purpose, and urged the district council not to build more housing on fields.
He said: "I hope Yorkshire Water revisit what we hoped they were going to do, post the 2000 flood, and we will have some serious action."
Miles Simmons of The Wentworth Arms in Old Malton said the pub was still open, despite the floods, but many regulars could not get in. He said: "The lucky thing is that it's clean water that's coming in, and hopefully it'll recede soon. I was up all night mopping out the cellar making sure it didn't get above a certain level and get into the bar."
Gillian Cruddas, chief executive of Visit York, stressed that York was fully open for business. She said: "The city's St Nicholas Fayre begins this weekend and we are looking forward to welcoming thousands of visitors."
Performances at City Screen's basement venue are cancelled until Sunday, and the venue's lift is out of action.
A spokeswoman said the cinema and bar were open, but though visitors in wheelchairs would be unable to access the screens or the disabled facilities, she hoped the venue would be back up and running in full by Monday.
Helen Douglas, general manager of York Dungeon, said the lower floors were flooded again, six weeks after being pumped and dried out. Some repaired parts of the attraction were removed ahead of the flooding to prevent damage, but the drying out would have to be re-done.
She said they still hoped to open next spring. She said: "It will be dried out again which could take up to two weeks. The rebuild starts again as soon as it's safe for the contractors to get back in."
Staff at Fiesta Latino next door were working around the clock to save their £40,000 refurbishment, with seven pumps running to clear the lower floor.
Joe Ferraioli, one of the owners, said the restaurant should reopen by Friday. He said: "We're dead on our feet, but we've got to be here, we can't leave the property any longer than half an hour, otherwise the water rises."
In Selby district, flood warnings were issued for the River Derwent at Thorganby and Bubwith. The Cawood bridge, B1222 and B1223 were closed as a precaution, where Kelfield Ings had flooded, though not to September's level.
'Thanks for your help'
YORK council leaders have praised staff, residents, traders and 999 crews for their resilient response to the floods.
Council leader James Alexander said: "I'd like to personally thank all residents who have helped to make the important job that emergency services staff do across the city that little bit easier this past few days. This also includes many of our own front line staff who've been out 24/7 filling sandbags, building flood defences or ferrying residents across those parts of the city which are flooded. So, while a few roads remain temporarily closed, the city is very much operating as normal. York is open for business and ready for the festive season."
Kersten England, chief executive of City of York Council, said: "I'd like to thank everyone across the city, whether they are residents, emergency services, businesses or partners, for really pulling together this past few days in dealing with the floods. Many of our own front line staff have been working round-the-clock to help keep York open and residents safe – a big thank you goes out to them too.
"We're already turning our attention to the clean-up from the floods and ensuring our residents and businesses get the support they need."
Homes hit by landslide
Preparations are being made to demolish a row of cottages overlooking a North Yorkshire harbour after a landslide left them in danger of collapse.
Torrential rain has led to the gardens and patios behind Aelfleda Terrace, in Whitby, sliding down the steep slope below them and they are now 30ft lower than the 150-year-old terrace.
The landslip also saw a huge slab of rock and earth, about the size of a minibus, crash into another terrace of homes below.
Engineers are worried five homes on Aelfleda Terrace will collapse and plans are being drawn up to demolish the houses.
Work is expected to begin today although it is understood the steep, tight location will present demolition experts with a number of problems.
The terrace of fisherman's cottages overlook the seaside town from the east side of the River Esk and are only a few hundred metres from the historic Whitby Abbey.
One resident, Jude Knight, said: "I'm just devastated, I've lost everything, I've lost 26 years of my life, that's how long I've had this property. I feel very sad and I feel very angry."
The other threatened homes are thought to be holiday cottages.
A Scarborough Borough Council spokesman said: "Owners have been allowed back into their properties briefly to retrieve their personal belongings, but the whole area has now been cordoned off."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The mother of a 13-year-old charged with killing his 2-year-old half brother will remain in jail as she awaits sentencing on a manslaughter charge.
Biannela Susana, 26, pleaded guilty in March to negligent manslaughter in connection with her youngest son's death. Her oldest son, Cristian Fernandez, is accused of first-degree murder in the beating death of the boy.
Wednesday morning, a judge denied Susana's request to reduce her bond, which is currently $1 million.
At a hearing Wednesday morning, Susana's attorney argued that she is not a flight risk and asked that her bond be reduced from $1 million to $50,000. Judge James Daniel denied the motion, saying her current bond is appropriate.
"You can't expect to plead guilty to a crime of taking someone's life and say, 'I want to be free until my trial comes up.' Generally that doesn't happen," Channel 4 crime analyst Ken Jefferson said.
Susana's sentencing hearing is scheduled for October.
Fernandez is being held without bond pending his murder trial and a separate trial on charges of sexual battery involving another sibling.
Advocate Linda Dayson said Susana is very concerned about Fernandez's well-being.
"She's basically a strong person, she's doing her best to be strong about it, and I know inside they have different people that are spiritual that, you know, can comfort each other," Dayson said.
Dayson said Susana is distraught her 2-year-old son never had a proper funeral.
In the past, the state said it would allow Susana to attend a ceremony, escorted by police, at her own expense.
"She was wanting to get the reduction to see possibly that she would go ahead on and already be out versus being incarcerated and then being released with the police and everybody around while she goes to the services," Dayson said.

Great news!
The Raid is coming to theaters soon. Almost all of the music is instrumental–doing anything with vocals seemed to take away from the movie. I think it ended up being 50+ minutes of score.
But at the end of the film, I found room for two songs with vocals. I didn't want to do sing or rap. I decided to call on some friends.
They are:

Last year I shared my go-to recipe for pecan pie, the must-have dessert for my family's Thanksgiving table. For those looking to take pecan pie to the next level, I also have a recipe for you—one that I love more than any other. This recipe, for my most favorite pecan pie ever, tastes like a delicious, gooey, crunchy turtle. It's filled to the brim with nuts and caramel custard, then topped with chunks of dark chocolate and finished with a sprinkle of sea salt. I don't care if the salted caramel trend has jumped the shark, to me this is pecan pie perfection.
As with my recipe for classic pecan pie, there are some steps that you can take to ensure perfect execution when baking. Blind baking is extremely important, as it will ensure that your crust is fully cooked to a golden brown on the bottom (blind baking also makes it possible to transfer a fully baked pie from the pie plate to a platter for cutting and serving). Also, if you feel that the top of the pie is getting too dark in the oven, just cover it loosely with a circle of foil to prevent burning.
No matter how you feel about pecan pie, this is a game-changing recipe that will charm your guests and send them home happy.

Hi. i'm a soon to be mum and i'm kinda worried about breastfeeding. i may not be able to breastfeed my baby as i will be working after giving birth. any alternatives? Thanks!
Hi. i'm a soon to be mum and i'm kinda worried about breastfeeding. i may not be able to breastfeed my baby as i will be working after giving birth. any alternatives? Thanks!
Dear soontobemum,
Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Breastmilk is the best milk for your baby - this is why the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommend exclusive breastfeeding (i.e. only giving your baby breastmilk and no other food or drink) for the first 6 months of life. An alternative to feeding your baby at the breast is to pump (express) your breastmilk so that someone can feed it to your baby when you are away.
When will you be going back to work? How many hours a week will you be away from your baby?
Employers have a legal obligation to give a breastfeeding mum regular breaks during work and to provide them with a private and appropriate place to express. Your employer should also provide you with a fridge to store your milk in.
Who will be caring for your baby whilst you are at work? Having a family member/ childcare provider who is thoroughly supportive of your decision to breastfeed (and express) is important when you work whilst you are breastfeeding.
Here is an article with more detailed information about expressing breastmilk including tips for when/ what technique to use. If it good if you can mimic your baby's feeding technique. It is useful to note that no breastpump is as efficient as a baby at extracting milk from the breast. However, it is possible to exclusively pump (i.e. feed your baby on only expressed breastmilk for the first 6 months of life) there is some excellent information about exclusive pumping here. Exclusive pumping requires dedication and planning but is an excellent way for mum's to feed their babies wonderful breastmilk when/ if their baby cannot feed at the breast directly.
Does this help you?
You say your are worried about breastfeeding. I'm sorry to hear this. Has your midwife/ health care provider talked much to you about breastfeeding? Do you have any other specific concerns apart from going back to work? Whilst breastfeeding is the most natural, and best, way to feed your baby it can take time in the early days to get it established. It is normal to need lots of help from: midwives, breastfeeding support groups, peer support and lactation consultants. All these groups/ professionals should be happy to talk to you as a pregnant woman about breastfeeding and begin their support to you.
Please do ask any further questions here.
Warm wishes,

Hi LJ,
Thanks for your fast response.
if in case i can't breastfeed my baby, what would be the best alternative milk? Can you suggest anything available from the market?
Lots of thanks!
That's very early to be going back to work. I don't know what part of the world you are living in? Many countries operate a paid maternity leave scheme (typically ranging from 4-12 months of maternity leave) and this has been found to extremely beneficial to new families. In particular, having a period of maternity leave benefits the breastfeeding relationship between mum and baby.
Did you have any thoughts about expressing (pumping) breastmilk?
Even if you did work your employer should give you breaks and a suitable room to express your milk in with suitable storage.
You say lots of things are worrying you about having a baby - please let us know what they are so we can help to support you. Having a baby can be an emotional and daunting time but, with the right support and information, it can be an empowering and joyful time.
Baby milk action provides information on breastfeeding (which is best for baby) and formula feeding (they say 'when babies do not receive breastmilk, for whatever reason, they have a right to nutrition that is as safe as possible and will cause the least possible harm'). Here is the information from baby milk action on formula feeding.
Thinking of you,

Hobbit wars hot up following an article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, published online 23 Aug 2006, and reported in ScienceNOW 21 Aug 2006, news@nature and Geotimes 25 Aug 2006. Indonesian anthropologist Teuku Jacob of Gadjah Mada University and colleagues have studied the skull and leg bones of the Homo floresiensis (nicknamed the "Hobbit") and have challenged the claim that the bones are from another human species. They compared the skull with a group of living people, known as the Rampasasa pygmies, who live in the same region as the cave where the "H. floresiensis" bones were found. These pygmies are not only small in overall stature, but some have receding chins and unusual pre-molar teeth – two of the features that the scientists who found the Hobbit bones claim show they should be classified as new human species. They also compared the left and right sides of the skull and the left and right leg bones and found they are asymmetrical, which they claim is a sign of disease, not evidence of a new species.
Australian anthropologist Peter Brown, one of the team who first studied the bones dismissed the new claims as "complete nonsense" and said the asymmetry can be explained by the fact the bones had been squashed and buried for thousands of years. Only one skull has been found so far and researchers need to compare several specimens before deciding whether unusual features are disease or normal. Colin Groves, another Australian anthropologist, is also unimpressed. He points out that lack of chin can only be assessed by studying bones without soft tissue, but the new study has relied on photos of living Rampasasa pygmies. A receding chin is not the same as complete absence of a chin. Other scientists also dispute the new study on the basis of the brain size and shape, and over the dating of the bones.
Editorial Comment: There is nothing like "hominid" bones to provoke arguments between scientists. The original studies of all of the bones indicate that "hobbits" had an ape sized head with an ape sized brain, and ape shaped limb bones with ape-like proportions to overall body size. However, there is no academic kudos to be gained from finding yet another extinct ape. As long as anthropologists ignore the Creator's testimony that human beings are unique creations they will continue to make monkeys out of themselves by trying to make apes into people.

What early spring? As it turns out, famed forecaster Punxatawney Phil was wrong this year – very wrong.
During a month better known for grilling and shorts weather, a spring-time winter storm fueled by a powerful cold front is setting up to produce rare weather conditions across much of the western Corn Belt – snow.
The National Weather Service forecast up to two feet of snow in the Rockies with several inches of snow expected in a band that stretches from Texas to Wisconsin, according to NBC News.
Snow is only half of the equation. In parts of Texas, the front is expected to bring wild temperature swings. On Tuesday, the mercury in Amarillo reached a balmy 97 degrees. Less than 48 hours later, on Thursday morning, meteorologists anticipate a 67-degree drop.
"By tomorrow morning we have … Amarillo at 30 and probably snowing," Weather Channel meteorologist Kevin Roth said.
Read, "Heavy snow belts Rockies and Plains; Texas city to see 67-degree temperature drop."
Just how rare is this May snowstorm? Wunderground.com looked at other notable May snowstorms:
- Amarillo recorded than 7 inches of snow on May 6, 1917, and on May 2, 2005 the city saw nearly 5 inches of snow.
- Minneapolis, Minn., has seen just six snow days in May since 1975, the top being May 11, 1946 when 2.8 inches fell.
- Chicago has only had two one inch snow events in May since 1884.
- Omaha, Neb., has recorded four days with measurement snow in May since 1881.
- Des Moines, Iowa, had two separate snows in 1907 on May 4 and May 15. It also snowed on May 3, 1917.
- Kansas City, Mo., reported one measurement snow in May on May 3, 1907 when 1.7 inches fell on the city.

"It is very difficult to get a major snowstorm in the lower elevations of the U.S. in May," said Weather Channel meteorologist Nick Wiltgen. "Even on May 1 you're only seven weeks away from the summer solstice, and with that comes strong sun and long days adding heat to the atmosphere.

March 29 - April 1 Marcus Center
S MILWAUKEE BALLET prepares to present its "Spring Series" of contemporary one-acts, Artistic Director Michael Pink is announcing plans for next season. Both subjects are newsworthy, and the common theme is the versatility of the dancers.
Next season will open with a completely new ballet by Pink, his first since Peter Pan in 2010. A world premiere by the choreographer whose work also includes the moving Dracula and Esmeralda is an important event. Pink's source material this time is Puccini's popular opera La Bohème. Milwaukee Ballet Music Director Andrews Sill is arranging an orchestral version of the complete score.
The story will be transposed from 19th-century Paris to that city's existentialist 1950s, and will be told entirely through movement that will showcase the formidable artistry of the company's main dancers.
When performers are as charismatic as these, it's easy to take their classical chops for granted. Pink brings dancers into the company primarily on the strength of their classical technique; and indeed, they can make impossible feats appear as natural as smiling. So it's exciting that next season will end with the demanding classical ballet Swan Lake. It will be a traditional version, but Odette and Odile will be separately cast, the better to focus on the fairy tale with its interesting echoes of the realistic La Bohème. Next season starts and ends in love and heartbreak.
Pink's engaging all-ages version of The Nutcracker will return for the holidays. Winter will bring the next iteration of the "Genesis: International Choreographic Competition," featuring adventurous world premieres created with company dancers by emerging choreographers competing for the chance to make a second ballet with the company in 2014. Finally, the 2013 "Spring Series" of three outstanding works by guest choreographers will include Amy Seiwert's deeply serious exploration of the unfinished Mozart Requiem, and Darrell Grand Moultrie's showpiece, Simply Sammy, performed to recordings by Sammy Davis Jr. with a guest star tap dancer.
Really, these dancers can do anything, which brings us to the 2012 "Spring Series" running March 29-April 1 at the Marcus Center.
Matthew Neenan's The Last Glass (2010) is a beautifully constructed collage of overlapping vignettes with complex, recognizable characters in affecting relationships rarely seen in ballet, set to stirring music by the indie rock/world music band Beirut. Neenan was co-founder in 2005 of BalletX at the Wilma Theater in Philadelphia and has had 12 commissions from the Pennsylvania Ballet. Seen in rehearsal, this inflamed piece demands a high level of virtuosity in dancing and acting, and the cast is up to it. It's a knockout.
Alejandro Cerrudo's Extremely Close (2009) is lyrical and dangerous. When not dancing—couples in constantly shifting physical contact that emphasizes the individuality of each partner—the dancers blindly push, and are pushed by, large white screens that change the shape of the space. The floor is strewn with white feathers. Cerrudo began his career in his native Madrid, Spain, and worked in leading Dutch and German companies before joining Hubbard Street Dance Chicago in 2005. This appears to be an intimate, thoughtful, up-to-date dance about love and shared space, set against the cascading piano music of Philip Glass and Dennis O'Halloran.
Lila York's Celts (1996) is a rousing, crowd-pleasing display of athleticism and agility that shows off its big cast of dancers individually and as a tribe. Milwaukee Ballet performed it in 2003 as part of Pink's debut season. York was a dancer with the great Paul Taylor Dance Company from 1973-1985, then a collaborator with the dance-theater genius Martha Clarke, and she has long been a celebrated freelance choreographer. This is her signature work, a mainstream American dance that draws on the earthy ancient barefoot dramas of Martha Graham and the reinvented neoclassicism of George Balanchine, and combines it all with fast, muscular, high-jumping Irish folk dancing.
It's worth noting that this handsomely international company is the city's most genuinely multicultural performance ensemble. Each offers something unique and sometimes transcendent. Their artistry is the result of unflagging hard work that began in childhood. Few can do what
they do, much less this well—and they just keep getting better.
"Spring Series" runs March 29-April 1 at the Marcus Center, 929 N. Water St. For more information, call 414-902-2103 or visit www.milwaukeeballet.org.
John Schneider's affinity for the work of BalletX's Matthew Neenan could be nostalgic, since his former touring company Theatre X was hosted by the Wilma Theater (nee Wilma Project) in Philadelphia.

The results of a new report released yesterday in London by the highly-respected Royal College of Physicians provide resounding evidence for the need to regulate the sale of tobacco in Australia and to protect children from the harms of tobacco.
Quit Executive Director Todd Harper said today that one of the key recommendations of the report, Nicotine Addiction in Britain, was that nicotine should be recognised as a powerfully addictive drug, similar in its addictive nature to heroin or cocaine.
'This new report has widespread implications for regulation of the tobacco industry in Australia,' Mr Harper said.
'Research has clearly shown that nicotine is a dangerous and addictive drug and that the sale of cigarettes should be regulated to protect children from embarking on a dangerous addiction which will harm their health and result in the deaths of 1 in 2 long term users.'
'Introducing regulations on the sale of tobacco, such as licensing and tightening point-of-sale advertising in shops is one way that we can reduce the potential for children to be swayed by the powerful messages tobacco companies direct at them through this advertising.'
Mr Harper said 8 out of 10 new smokers are children, and research shows early uptake of smoking is linked with:
'Cigarettes are often positioned in shops next to lollies and chocolates and this practice must be stopped.'
'We also know that children under the age of 18 are easily able to buy cigarettes, and improved regulation and enforcement would be one way to reduce the prevalence of cigarette sales to children.'
Mr Harper said surveys conducted in Melbourne suburbs have shown that around 40% of retail outlets have been caught selling tobacco to children.
Mr Harper said the Royal College of Physician's report also found that Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) treatments were a highly effective treatment for adult smokers.
'It's important that NRT treatments are placed on the Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme, to ensure that their cost is not a barrier if people want to use these treatments to help them quit smoking.'
'This report clearly supports the importance of continuing to resource effective programs that help adults to successfully quit smoking.'
'The commitment to cessation campaigns such as the National Tobacco Campaign are an important investment in the health of the Australian community.'
'The National Tobacco Campaign has made a big impact on the public awareness of the dangers of smoking, and has had phenomenal results both here in Victoria and nationally in helping people quit.'
