The Del Vikings were originally formed in 1957 and were known known for such charting hits as: Come Go With Me, Whispering Bells, Cool Shake and Come Along With Me among others. The group was notable for being one of the first integrated groups to be successful in the 1950s.
Norman was not only a talented performer, but he knew how to entertain an audience. He had a great sense of humor and he had the ability to take his audience back in time.
What the fans said:
I went to your concert at Silver Springs, Florida. I thought you were fabulous! Seeing you reminded me of the olden days, when I was a teenager and loved you so much. I wanted to write and tell you how great you still sound. Mr. Wright, your voice is just as beautiful as it was when I was a teenager!
I have had the great pleasure of seeing Norman Wright and the Del Vikings over the past couple of years. They are more than an oldies group. They are legends. There is no bigger fan than I am. When you hear their music, it takes us back to a time when we all had less worries, much more love and compassion. I had the great pleasure of meeting Norman Wright after the concert. He took the time to talk to me; a complete gentleman. Keep singing Norman. The pleasure you bring to me and people like me will never end.
You were my favorite group at the Moondog Coronation Ball. It was especially pleasing to see the old fashioned sense of style displayed by the young members of the group. I guess dad brought them along well. Thanks for the great show! - CelebrityAccess Staff Writers

Anarchy and Dualism, Revisited
Geoffrey Allan Plauche over at Libertas revisits the subject of "Anarchy and Dualism" (which we'd discussed briefly here and here), mostly in response to a post by Billy Beck over at Two--Four.
Geoffrey discusses the fallacy of dualism, which I highlight in my own book Total Freedom: Toward a Dialectical Libertarianism. What is of interest to me is that even though I have viewed anarchists as creating a dualism between market and state, they themselves view the state as the source of social dualisms and conflict. One might say that they are motivated by a desire to resolve the very dualisms in social life that even nonanarchists decry. (I have argued that the anarchist resolution is not dialectical, but that's a separate issue.)
In any event, check out the relevant links above for some interesting discussion.
Comments welcome.

Vice President Biden wasn't passive, to be sure, in the debate tonight. Nevertheless, he was so aggressive, so rude and so overbearing that it is hard to see how he won over any undecided voters. By contrast, many voters who had never seen or heard Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) for any extended time learned why he has earned the respect of his colleagues and was selected as Mitt Romney's running mate.
Just before the debate, Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter made waves by saying that the only reason Libya was an issue was because the Republican ticket had made a fuss. That was the subject of an extended argument and the start of one of many heated exchanges.
Sitting side by side at the debate table, Ryan and Biden began with the Benghazi debacle. Biden looked stern, saying he'd get to the bottom of it and find the perpetrators. He then went off topic as soon as possible, migrating to Iran, Iraq and just about anything else. Ryan went back in and laid into Ambassador Susan Rice and President Obama (who went to the U.N. to talk about the anti-Muslim video). Ryan then scored big by telling Biden he was the one who failed to get a status of forces agreement. Biden rebutted, calling Ryan a liar ("malarkey"). He got grilled by moderator Martha Raddatz as to what he knew and when he knew it; Biden deflected, saying that he was given wrong information by the intelligence community. It was a crash course for the American people in the Benghazi debacle, not a subject that is in any way helpful to the administration.
As they moved on to Iran, Biden's habit of smirking and laughing and being dismissive came across as disrespectful, even nasty. Ryan largely ignored the jabs. Ryan patiently laid out the facts on everything from the failure of the sanctions to Obama's decision to go on a TV show rather than meet with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu at the United Nations. Biden sneered back, repeating that Romney-Ryan wanted to start a war. Repeatedly laughing at his opponent, Biden forfeited his likability and whatever stature he held. Ryan pounded away at the Obama administration's acts of weakness on everything from showing daylight between Israel and the United States to watering down sanctions. Ryan more than held his own; if nothing else, Biden's demeanor lost him support, I strongly suspect. The split screen replays will be deadly.
On the economy Biden jumped around, touting his Scranton roots and insisting that the economy was improving. Again, Ryan came back methodically, telling Biden that unemployment is higher in Wisconsin than it was when Biden entered office. He explained that we are adding fewer jobs today than a month or a year ago. He then had the moment of the night in responding to an attack on Romney's 47 percent comments, saying that Biden knew all too well that "words sometimes don't come out of your mouth the right way." Delivered with a sweet smile, it got a huge laugh.
Biden accused Romney-Ryan of not caring or having plans. He oddly blamed two wars (both of which he voted to support) for the recession. Ryan methodically came back to remind the audience that Obama had a Democratic majority in the House and Senate for two years. Biden would interrupt, roll his eyes and laugh. Ryan came back calmly, pinning the cronyism and "the green jobs" scandals on the Obama administration.
As they moved to entitlements, Ryan made his case on Obama's failure to fix entitlement programs and then proceeded to lay out his Medicare premium support plan.When Biden attacked on Medicare and then tried to interrupt, Ryan said the administration "got caught with their hand in the cookie jar" grabbing from Medicare to pay for Obamacare. At one point, he turned to Biden to tell him that he knew Biden was under pressure to make up lost ground but that the viewers would be better served if he didn't interrupt. Ryan made a sober case for gradually increasing the retirement age for Social Security. When Biden spat out accusations, Ryan quoted Obama from 2008: "This is what politicians do when they don't have a record to run on."
As they moved on to, taxes Biden made his pitch to raise taxes on the rich. Again Ryan came back to object to raising taxes on small businesses and to explain the Romney tax plan, citing six studies that said it could be done without sacrificing progressivity.
The longer the debate, the more obnoxious Biden became. Ryan more than held his own on national security, both on sequestration and on the premature withdrawal from Afghanistan. At times Biden and Raddatz went at it, with Raddatz struggling to interject. He jabbed his finger at her, bizarrely arguing with the moderator. She challenged both on defense, quizzing Ryan on defense cuts and telling that Biden not all military commanders wanted the extreme defense cuts. Raddatz slipped in some tough questions, asking Biden if the Taliban might be taking advantage of the hard and fast timeline. She again ribbed Biden for saying that some military officials had concern about the quickened pullout of the troops. Rather than debating Ryan, Biden began arguing with Raddatz again, raising his voice and getting heated.
On Syria, Biden insisted that we are acting hand in hand to get rid of Bashar al-Assad. Ryan calmly detailed the misjudgment made by the Obama team (calling Assad a "reformer") in delaying action, allowing Assad to continue to slaughter his people and giving Russia a veto at the U.N.
As the pace slowed toward the end, both candidates became more heartfelt. Biden argued that his Catholic belief was separate from his pro-choice view. Ryan made a moving statement about seeing his daughter's ultrasound, saying that the GOP ticket believed in three exceptions to abortion.
In the closing rounds, Ryan spoke calmly, chiding the president for divisiveness and broken promises. Biden nearly comically told us he never said anything he didn't mean. Ryan gave a classic closing statement, actually asking viewers for their votes. Biden whined about getting shortened on time. Raddatz must have been exhausted. Any audience members hanging on certainly were.
It was the most bizarre performance in any debate in my memory. Biden was so obnoxious, so over-the-top, that it is hard to see how independent voters, especially women, would find him tolerable, let alone effective. Arguing with the female moderate, jabbing his finger and constantly interrupting both Raddatz and Ryan, he came across like a bully.
Raddatz at times was unable to stand up to Biden's bullying, but she hung in there, never losing her poise. She returned some of his jabs. She was a more active moderate, to be sure, than Jim Lehrer. But the debate was certainly lively, and she was exquisitely fair.
Losers: Biden; the aide who forgot to tell him there was a split screen; incivility.
Winners: Ryan; civility.

Understand your Child's Emotional Needs
Posted on Oct 10 2011 at 03:54:50 PM in Medicine
The key factor in preventing children from developing depression and become dependent on antidepressant medications is for parents to know their child's emotional needs as stated in Jennifer Gibson's blog at the brain blogger website. There is an alarming increase in number of depressed children as stated in a longitudinal study by Washington University School of Medicine.
Gibson added the key is for parents to have an open communication with their children, not only are the parents but as well as the teachers and caregivers because this can help in the child's emotional development.
The Childfirstworld.com website states that if parents want their kids to grow up big and strong not only physically but as well as emotionally is to fully nurture the children's inner lives.
For the children to grow as mature and well-adjusted adults, they need to adequately fulfill their essential emotional needs.
When parents give constant attention to their children and develop bonding moment with their children, their kids will feel valuable.
It also mention about parental understanding which creates deep feeling of trust between parent and child that enables them to confide with their parents about problems they are facing, rather than try to hide them due to fear of punishment.
When the children are growing up, the parents should provide a balanced environment of clearly and enforced limits that are fair, non-oppressive and occasionally negotiable.
A new research indicates that parents who are expressive with their love among their children could stimulate the growth of neuronal connections within the brain , in those areas associated with positive emotions, giving kids the best possible chance to live a lifetime filled with inner joy.
To ensure their proper development, there is a need for the children to have their emotions validated and supported when expressed in appropriate ways. Children feel belongingness to a society when the children have a healthy relationship with their parents or caregivers.
There will be no room for depression to develop among children when parents, caregivers and teachers will properly address their emotional needs which can prevent them from taking antidepressant medication such as Zoloft that has several side effects that can push you of filing a Zoloft Lawsuit.

Therefore, it is desirable to have independent control over both the biochemical and mechanical cues presented to the cell to analyze their relative and combined effects on stem cell function. Accordingly, we have developed synthetic hydrogels, novel three-dimensional filamentous matrices, and biointerfaces to assess the effects of adhesion ligand presentation, material moduli, and matrix architecture on stem cell function and fate determination. Employing these soft materials we have demonstrated that the mechanical, structural, and biochemical properties of a stem cell microenvironment can be tuned to regulate the self-renewal, differentiation, and morphological features of different stem cells including human embryonic, neural, cardiac progenitor, and mesenchymal stem cells. These bioinspired materials provide a foundation for systematic development of microenvironments that may ultimately impact regenerative therapies. Various examples from our work will be discussed during this presentation.

Gunjan shows them around d basket ball court n d sports room
n execuses herself n leaves the place
Samrat n benji break
for lunch ina roadside dhaba, samrat all the while thinking about that
chashmish, how she had avoided his eyes n everything abt him as if he didn't exist,
all this was new for him, girls ven when he was at his sarcastic best tried to
only please him n never turned themselves away. He shakes his head n tries to
shrug off this feeling…..he does'nt want to think or feel…it was an accidental
meeting n that's all n it was not as if
he was going to meet her again, he was here for a purpose n mayank's wedding n
he better focus on it
Its almost 4 so both of them decide that rather than going
to d guest house they will meet the basket ball team n get d ice breaking
session over n then head back to guest house
Samrat n Benji enter the basket ball court n already see
that d girls r wearing navy blue track suit n short sleeved white t-shirt n r
standing in a circle talking n Professor triptahi is entering d court smiling at them n
clears his voice "Girls I would like you to meet your new coach for d next 3
weeks who's here on a spcl request to train u girls". Some girls shyly n others
openly weigh both Sammy n benji n some r still standing at d back n one person
for sure is not luking up as she is shocked to receive this piece of info n not
ready to digest d same n just then much to her dislike Prof tripathi calls for
her "Samrat, Benjamin, I would like to introduce our girls teams captain" n luks
around trying to spot her while d girl tries her level best to hide behind "Ms
Gunjan Bhushan…Gunjan come forward" (something strikes a chord in benji's head)
Having no choice she goes forward, notices that samrat n
benji had just noticed her gauging from their surprised expression as they dint
expect her to be here just like she didn't expect them to here n also she was
sans her spects wearing her contact lenses which she was otherwise not
comfortable using.
Samrat tries to hide his quick grin n wonders whats with this
girl, third time in a way she was arousing funny feelings inside him, he better
luk out or he was gonna be eaten alive by her luking at d anger she was trying
to control…..uff she was like a lady dragon ready to spit out flames n burn d
world….correction burn him coz luking at d sweet shy smile she was giving benji it
luked like only he deserved the honor
Prof continues "Gujan is our star player n she plays point
gaurd position n also scores wonderful baskets….She is not only a star player
cum captain, she is an all rounder, topper in studies, a very lovely singer, n
above all a gifted wonderful human being who is loved by one n all
Some woozy feeling erupts inside samrat's heart on hearing
about chashmish, he is still recovering from d shock of intensity of her naked eyes which
pierced sumthing in him when she had luked at him briefly n now those same eyes
were evading evry1s eyes as she was getting uncomfortable at all d praise…wats
it about this girl that keeps getting onto him at d best of d times….god he was
going to have to be extra harsh n careful around this beautiful witch…beautiful
witch…did he just say that…..god he
needed to drown himself extra hard in his fake persona now more than ever
Samrat: "Thanks sir, if u don't mind ab toh main decide
karunga ki kaun star player hai aur kaun banega….if u don't mind me saying so"
Prof a lil shocked nods n says before leaving," all d best n
feel free to contact me if u need anything"
Now all d girls look at samrat who in turn is sizing them up
from their expressions
Samrat: Ok Chash n stops ...ok Captain can u pls introduce ur
Gunjan: (for no reason a lil shyly introduces all d players
with their positions)
Samrat: Right girls … a pleasure to meet you all , am from
excel college n hope that we have some good training sessions in d next 3 weeks
n I will do my job most diligently
Gunjan wondering (how can he switch his charm n sarcasm on n
off like button, not sure if he was as good a coach as a talker but she was
sure he had passed with flying colors from d school of charm looking at d
drooling expressions in her team members eyes….god girls can be so duh at times…..melting
at one word or smile…god save them for d next 3 weeks
Benji: Ok girls …am benji, samrat's assistant n I will be
assisting samrat…cmon lets do a quick 10 & 10 (Run around the court ten
times one direction and then ten times in the other direction) n all girls
start running when gunjan is about to join them, samrat stops her "Chashmish ek min,
can I have a word with u"
Gunjan (nods her head)
Samrat unable to control himself "Waise chashme ke bina
tumhe basket dikh jaata yah pole se takrana tumhara roz ka kissa hai"
Gunjan "Agar tumhari bakwas bandh ho gayi toh practice shuru
Karen n just so ur stupid brain understands mai game khelte waqt contact
pehenti hoon" n starts leaving
Samrat (snatches her arms to stop her n both r instantly
seized by an electric charge beyond their understanding but he quickly recovers his hand n
says "Who mujhe saare team members ka details,weaknes, strength aur positon ek paper me kal likhe de sakti taakhi mai apni
training strategies plan kar sakun"
Gunjan nods "Aur kuch"
Samrat "No thanks, kal theek 8 baje milte hain"
Gunjan (awkwardly n shyly ) " am really sorry 8 baje
possible nahi hai, yah toh subah 7 baje yah phir dopahar 1 aje mai aur meri
team practice karte hain"
Samrat "kyun subah 8 baje kisi ke saath date hai kya (luking
at her surprised expression recovers quickly)…..really sorry chashmish mai
tumse pooch nahi raha hun tumhe bata rah hun, agle 3 hafte ke liye basket ball
training kab hoga, kaise hoga yeh mai decide karunga…samjhi
Gunjan : Ji nahi….tum is baat ko samaj lo koi b city ka romeo jo apne ko star
player samajtha hai yeh decide nahi karega ki mai kab kya karungi….aur haan tume is baat se
problem hai toh theek hai, mujhe koi training nahi chahiye, u r free to train
other girls, mai kal se nahi aaoongi aur mai tripathi sir ko inform kar dungi,
Bye,n yeah I wudnt say even in my dreams
it was nice meeting u" n rushes out of d court
Samrat is stunned n shocked not sure either by her departure or by her refusal to
comply with his demand n is still reeling in it when benji joins him n asks "kya
hua….gunjan kahan gayi" n samrat quickly informs him abt her kidish n arrogant
attitude. Benji not surpised informs him "yaar kya kiya tune….tune poocha
bhi who kyun subah nahi aa sakti….woh har subah 8 se lek 12 baje tak idhar ek
NGO school me gareeb bachon ko free me padathi hai…...team members ne bataya abhi....isliye who evening coll
attend karti hai aur poore staff ne bhi kabhi iskeliye object nahi kiya kyunki who
itna acha kaam free me kar rahi hai without ne expectation
Another woozing feeling swirls in samrat's heart….he's thinkg…god
im in a total mess ….for d first time in his 21 years he regrets why cant he be
normal like others,,,,why cant he be nice to others….y does he always have to
fight life daily…d tiredness n d stress of d constant battles of his mind wear
him n more than anything an unknown pain for an unknown girl is staggeringly
taking 3/4th of his brain's space….he is totally annoyed worrying is
tis a start of something thats gonna shake his world….no he cant allow this….he doesn't
have ne space for these woozy feelings in his brain or his heart be it for
chashmish or anybody…now y did have to think of chashmish at every instance….it
was getting like an addiction n he hated addiction or aadat kyunki use pata tha
ki aadat insaan ko majbbor bana deti hai aur majboori use aur kamzor banati hai
aur phir who vulnerable ho jaata hai kise b shikari ke liye….no he cant' allow this….he
hates this….he hates girls….he hates chashmish…..yes that's right he hates
chashmish…..all he has to do is just keep reminding himself of d same
Benji is stunned beyong belief when h'e watching d various
emotions running across Samrat's face from disappointment to hurt to helplessness
to yearning to anger n finally to hatred…He shakes samrat wondering wat had
caused all those emotions 4 d 1st time to take form in plain sight for ne1 to see in d whole
time he had known samrat…..
Samrat comes out of his delusion, happy at his decision n
understanding n decided to stick to it n tells benji "cmon lets go n find out
our brainy dulhe raja kya kar rahe hain"
At nupur's house, zoro shoron se taiyyari chal rahi hai…aaj
mehendi thi aur mayank aur saare dost thodi hi der pehele hi pahuche the.... thabhi diya
aur gunjan ready hoke neeche aate hain
Nupur is wearing a sky blue lehenga with beautiful small
flowers in silver embroidery adorning d same n a contrasting peach colored
blouse with short sleeves n a dupatta with heavy silver embroidery work in sk
blue color.n Dia is wearing a bright red lehenga with gold zardosi work n strapless red blouse in same pattern
Gunjan is looking absolutely pretty in a baby pink lehenga n
choli with thick zardosi work n heavy work on d borders layered with mirrors n miniscule
silver balls. Much after nupur's insistence she shuns her glasses in favor of
contact lens n with her hair styled with simple clips n beads n a lat falling on her face
on either side, she was luking gorgeous
Samrat is smirking in a corner listening to dia explaining to the
girls from village about how she n benji met and fell in love n what it was
like to be in love n how love makes life n a person beautiful inside n out….She
was jus explaining when a girl asks "didi how do u know when u luk at a guy haan
yeh hi mera jeevan saathi hai"
Nupur n dia share an smile of sweet understanding n both say
in unison "jab who tumhari life me aayega toh jab bhi tum use miloge tumhare kaan
me music bajega, aisa lagega ki uski aankhon me zindagi bhar ke liye kho
jaaon, raat dal jaaye magar uski baaten
khatam na ho, zindagi me koi toofan tabahi macha jaye magar uski pyari hanseen idhar se udhar
na ho, duniya poori doob jaaye magar uske aakhon me kabhi nami na ho, dil ka
har sapna tot jaaye magar uske arman kabhi adhure na rahe, poori duniya root
jaye magar uske berukhi ka kabhi shikar na banun, aur sabse khaas baat subah ki
roshni dikhen na dikhen magar in nigahon ko har roz us pyar bahre chehre ka
deedar zaroor ho "
Dodo "Bas girls aur kitna pakaoge" Mayank n benji both share
an impish smile adoring d look of open love on their loved ones faces n samrat
with his usual smirk was getting tired of their talk n moving away n when he
catches a glipse of a girl in pink lehenga, he's just able to see her side face
n trying to see who she is n is mesmerized by her beautiful smile even from d
side angle seing that it was a genuine smile from her heart n just then a she
turns her head n signaling a hi to someone she has still not noticed him while
he is shocked to see who it is…..
Chashmish...phir se ...yahan pe....kaise...oh god...yeh kay ho raha hai….d same simple chashmish….luking
gorgeous n her eyes reflecting d beauty of her smile n d openness of her heart
at n for whomever she was smiling n is
prieced by a stab of jeaslousy that its
not him….he thinks Shit whats wrong with me …mujhe yeh kya ho raha…..mai
chashmish ko hate karta hun….i hate her….then y do I want her to smile at me….i
dislike her then y do I keep unknowingly luking for her in d back of my
mind everytime she goes away….god I met her just this morning….kya karun mai….yeh
kaisa daura pad rah hai muje…..no I cant let this happen….i hate her….i hate
her……I hate her n he luks up once again into her still smiling eyes n
beautifully smiling lips twitching every now n then n another piercing pain n
to top it all his ears r buzzing with d song being played in d background
"Tere naina …..hans diye….. bas gaye ….mere dil me…. tere
Yeh Pyaar Ki Hain Baatein….Kuchh Ankahi Mulakaatein ……Aise
Hi Milte Hain….Mil Ke Machalte Hain Do Dil Jawaan"
He is irritated at d control that seems to be slipping from
him n uanble to do anything about d same n shuts his ears with both hands
forcefully for a minute to bring some control into his mind n slow down his
heartbeat n d moment passes n he removes his hand n d music loudly buzzing
starts again to continue
"Mere Paas Tu Jo Aaye …To Khuda Mujhe Mil Jaaye….Hothon Ko
Hothon Se Milne De Silne De ..Door Na Ja"
Samrat "That's it ,am getting out of here n now" n heads
towards d exit
My poor samrat …..such a confused soul...caught up in such a beutiful love hte tangled relationship...….its as if gunjan has
stolen n conquered both his mind n heart against his wish n his ability to think has taken leave
so much so that he didn't even realise he was standing just in front of a speaker hence d added vibrating buzzing
loud music effect… Hope all ur dear ppl like this chapter n Pls let me know ur
comments n i will PM u when am done with the next chapter

I've recently purchased a used 2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R and on my first ride noticed a problem with the traction control.
The bike was delivered by the dealer on Saturday 25 February and my first ride on Sunday 26 February lasted approximately 30 miles before problems started, ending my ride after a total of approximately 40 miles.
The bike had a new rear tyre fitted so I set the power mode to L and the traction control to 3. After approximately 30 miles of riding, whilst holding the throttle steady at approximately 4000 rpm the bike began surging. I pulled over and set the power mode to M and traction control to 2 and continued to ride home. The bike would rev up to 4000 rpm but if I opened the throttle the revs would die, and if I shut the throttle the revs would shoot up to 6000 rpm. I rode the bike lurching for a few miles before it cut out and wouldn't restart.
After a few minutes I managed to get it started but every time I tried to rev it the engine died and the traction control lights 1,2 and 3 would flash along with an amber light on the right hand side of the dashboard.
Any ideas?

AMERICA has introduced disinfectant footbaths for airline passengers from Britain as a precaution against foot and mouth disease.
With one state alone, California, estimating that an outbreak of the disease could cost its farmers $13.5 billion (£9 billion), the United States Department of Agriculture has stepped up measures at air and sea ports. Officials in Oregon are so concerned about the outbreak in Britain that they have sent one of their four field vets to study how British authorities cope with the catastrophe.
The disinfectant footbaths have been introduced for passengers arriving at airports such as John F Kennedy in New York and will be used on anyone who tells an agricultural inspector that they have been on a farm. Inspectors at Orlando said they had removed and washed the shoes of several Britons who had arrived with mud on their footwear.
In San Francisco, people coming on non-stop flights from Britain have had shoes inside their luggage cleaned as well. America has banned the import of EU meats and livestock and at Washington's Dulles International Airport meat-sniffing beagles have joined the drug-detection dogs that mingle with passengers in the baggage reclaim area.
America has not had an outbreak of foot and mouth since 1929. Some elderly farmers still remember stories of the outbreak of 1914, when an estimated 200,000 head of cattle, pigs and sheep were destroyed.

Divorce, Pastor Adam Kohlstrom
February 2, 2014 · Deuteronomy 24:1-4
The Gospel According to Moses · Divorce
Genesis 1:27; 2:18; 2:24. What does the creation account say of God's design and intention for male/female relationships? What are some of the ways that we humans twist God's good design?
Deuteronomy 24:1-4. Whose power is limited by this teaching and thus who is being protected? How would this teaching protect a woman from neglect or abuse? What do these laws reveal to us about God's concern?
Deuteronomy 24:1-4. How would the teaching of these similar passages in Exodus 21:10-11 and Deuteronomy 21:10-14 protect a slave-wife or captive woman whom an Israelite warrior had married from abuse or neglect by a man who refused to fulfill his marital responsibilities to her?
The laws in this section (Deuteronomy 22:13-30; 24:1-4), all apply the seventh commandment: "you shall not commit adultery" (Exodus 20:14; Deuteronomy 5:18). The basic Biblical rule regarding sexual relations is, "No sex outside of one man and one woman in marriage." What are some practical ways this rule might be beneficial for people? Why do you think such reasons are unconvincing in today's society?
Deuteronomy 24:1-4. How does Jesus explain and apply Moses' instructions regarding divorce in Matthew 19:1-9 and Matthew 5:31-32 (cf. Mark 10:2-12; Luke 16:18)? What is the difference between "commanding" and "allowing" divorce? Why is this distinction so important?
In 1 Corinthians 7:10-11, Paul reiterates Jesus' command (Mark 10:9-12; Matt. 5:32; 19:6,9; Luke 16:18), but what application does he offer Christians married to non-Christians (1 Corinthians 7:12-16)? Who does Paul say a Christian might marry in 1 Corinthians 7:39? Why is this condition so important (cf. 2 Corinthians 6:14-16; 1 Kings 11:1, 4)?

[1]More than 2,000 comic stores around the country will be celebrating Free Comic Book Day this Saturday by passing out 4 million samples of popular comics.
On Free Comic Book Day — started by Joe Field more than ten years ago — more than 2,000 comic stores around the world will give away samples of popular comics, [2]
Stores use Free Comic Book Day — started by Joe Field more than 10 years ago — as a way of presenting different comics to both established and new comic buyers. It also drives extra foot traffic to stores so they can showcase other items such as trade paperbacks, games and collectibles.
In addition, it allows the stores to present the original creations that have inspired hit TV shows like The Walking Dead and movies such as the upcoming Superman movie Man of Steel and Iron Man 3.
"That really is the crux of Free Comic Book Day, inviting people into these shops that are really social hubs for people who like anything that's going on in popular culture," Field told the Associated Press[3].
Comic books, almost uniquely for printed materials, are still growing in sales. According to analysts, sales of single issues grew more than $60 million last year to $474.6 million.

- Year Completed:
- 2010
- Construction Difficulty:

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
This was such a simple costume -- construction wise at least. The skirt, underskirt and pannier were all purchased from FanPlusFriend, and the shoes are the same ones that I wear for Miwako. The blouse was made by me, except the collar, and sleeve endings which I tore off of a lolita blouse that didn't quite fit, and sewed onto one I made myself. :] So, a fairly simple costume for the most part.
- Personal Thoughts:
- I LOVE HACHI!!! I've always wanted to cosplay her, and am so thrilled I finally got the chance. It also gave me an excuse to drag DarkVyse88 around as Takumi. The only reason this costume was difficult was because of all the trial and error I went through with it -- mostly the wig. The shirt though, as I said ended up being made by me, and honestly it had been something I wanted to avoid doing. The wig is the most expensive wig I've ever made, including my Sheryl Nome one, mostly because I didn't know how to use Sharpie's to dye properly when I started out, and then I couldn't get the color I wanted!! So, over $200 later, I was finally able to get the color right, days before the convention. >( Not doing that ever again.

.....And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
Hello, we are ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead. This is our eighth album, it was recorded this summer in Hanover, Germany. The music was partly inspired by the apathy to real world events that has plagued the independent music scene now for over a decade. It was also inspired by artists such as the Cure, KARP, Ros Sereysothea, Human League, Hildegard von Bingen, and a few others. We feel that because the lyrics can say more about the album than we could, we would simply share them with you.
We would like to dedicate our efforts to Pussy Riot, and any and all artists who have attempted to exercise their creativity under the oppression of government, as well as the endemic oppression of an indifference to passion present in our mainstream culture.

A Time-Series Pattern Based Noise Generation Strategy for Privacy Protection in Cloud Computing
Cloud computing promises an open environment where customers can deploy IT services in a pay-as-you-go fashion while saving huge capital investment in their own IT infrastructure. Due to the openness, various malicious service providers may exist. Such service providers may record service information in a service process from a customer and then collectively deduce the customer's private information. Therefore, from the perspective of cloud computing security, there is a need to take special actions to protect privacy at client sides. Noise obfuscation is an effective approach in this regard by utilising noise data.

International cooperation project
Co-PI: DI Dr. Dubravka Jembrih-Simbürger (INTK)
At the beginning of the last century, industrial development has caused appearance of many new materials, especially synthetic polymers and synthetic organic pigments, which started to be extensively used by artists in self-made paints or commercially available paint tubes. Due to the mostly very small differences in their chemical structure, identification of synthetic organic pigments in modern and contemporary artworks using conventional analytical methods applied in the field of cultural heritage is still a big challenge and in many cases not possible.
Furthermore, behaviour of different synthetic materials in contact with each other, as well as their degradation under the influence of different environmental conditions is not well understood. It is important to study them by using different chemical and physical characterization methods. To get better insight into the behaviour of those materials and their degradation during longer time periods, artificial aging using (UV)-light and corrosion gases will be applied in this project. Samples prepared and treated by artificial aging will be studied by conventional techniques at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and accelerator based analytical techniques at the Ruđer Bošković Institute in Zagreb. Among techniques already in use for the analysis of such ion excitation (MeV SIMS) will be applied. Since MeV SIMS is a completely new ion beam analysis technique, used presently in only several ion beam laboratories in the world, this project will support the first systematic study of MeV SIMS for analysis of modern paints.
Potential of MeV SIMS for identification and imaging of molecules, especially of synthetic organic pigments, acrylics and alkyds used as binders with submicron lateral resolution will be explored. MeV SIMS imaging will be done in combination with other nuclear analytical techniques and in particular Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) and Rutherford Backscattering (RBS). Those techniques give complementary information (elemental composition) about the samples being investigated. In order to evaluate the application of MeV SIMS method in the field of modern and contemporary artworks, complementary measurements will be employed such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy - Attenuated Total Reflection (FTIR-ATR), Raman and UV/Vis Spectroscopy, Kelvin Probe, and Pyrolysis-Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.

OpinionJournal @ the GOP Convention
Thursday night
11:40 Dorothy Rabinowitz: This speech suggests that Romney's capacity to deliver an important speech that opens him up to the American people is limited. He had some cringe-making moments there with the stories about the kids, the moms and dads, the women he hired, and a lot of strain in his tone…there's that little sob in the throat that he uses for emphasis.
11:33 Feith: Romney's speech had its strong parts: family, Bain, foreign policy, the quip about Obama having promised to turn back the tides, etc. But it's interesting that the campaign seemed to choose not to go with one prevailing theme. Not Romney as turnaround agent. Not America being on a path to Greece. Paul Ryan's speech had a clearer theme, about willingness to make tough choices while protecting the weak.
11:29 Gigot: At least rhetorically, this was the least distinguished acceptance speech I can recall. Very few memorable lines. Substantively, the campaign must believe that Romney had to inoculate himself from all the Obama attacks on his character, which would explain the long personal discussion. But I think what people wanted to hear is how Romney is going to improve the economy and their lives. He offered far too little on that. I expect that Obama will pivot next week and go directly at Romney's tax plan. Romney barely mentioned his plan, beyond saying he wouldn't raise taxes on the middle class. He's left himself open. If Romney wins, it will be despite this speech not because of it.
11:18 Freeman: Successful evening for GOP in terms of showing Romney as a good man and a force for good in his business career, a man who understands the central problem of slow growth and joblessness afflicting us. And Clint, Marco and Mitt effectively made the case against Obama. But voters could have used a lot more discussion of how Romney's policies will turn around the U.S. economy.
11:12 Henninger: So we have an election between a total political animal and the opposite of that. Get out the photo-finish cameras for November.
11:11 Taranto: Romney is very effective at puncturing Obama's grandiosity. If he does it half as well in person, the debates will be a blast.
11:06 Freeman: Great line from Romney: Obama promised to heal the oceans. My promise is to help you and your family. But he has spent very little time talking about how he's going to create jobs.
11:05 Freeman: Good to hear that he will cut taxes and regulations on small business. Let's hear more about this.
11:02 Strassel: In all my time watching Romney on the primary trail, or since, I've never seen him look so at ease discussing Bain, the companies he has started, and the "genius of the free-enterprise system." This is exactly what he needs to do to take down the Obama class-warfare argument.
11:00 Riley: Mitt's pandering to female voters is becoming tiresome—"I had a woman lieutenant governor." He's allowed the Obama campaign to define him as anti-woman, and the Akin debacle hasn't helped. But this is getting ridiculous. Move on.
10:57 Freeman: Just a few minutes before 11, he finally arrived at the key points. Devastating line about the happiest moment for Obama voters was the day they elected him. Downhill since. Also good defense of Bain and all the people it has enriched.
10:55 Taranto: "I wish President Obama had succeeded, because I want America to succeed." Romney has a gift for condescension.
10:54 Gigot: This extended biographical riff strikes me as a misfire. The convention has already made this case. The election isn't about Romney. Romney should be telling Americans how he will make their lives better.
10:51 Riley: So far, I prefer Paul Ryan's speech . . .
10:49 Strassel: With Romney's speech, you are seeing the primary strategy by which the GOP hopes to touch independents. The Romney team knows those swing voters aren't always as swayed by direct attacks on Obama, and claims he is a leftist ideologue. But they are open to the argument that Obama is a decent person, who simply isn't up to the job, who hasn't delivered on what he promised. This was the entire thrust of beginning of Romney's speech, and a key portion of Rubio's, as well.
10:45 Freeman: Nice loving embrace of American exceptionalism.
10:42 David Feith: Big question: Will networks stay on Romney speech when he goes a few minutes past 11 o'clock? Eastwood's less-than-scripted speech, followed by Rubio's scripted but lengthy one, probably guarantee that the 'mainstream media' will face the question.
10:33 Gigot: Rubio is excellent but he went on too long. Mitt now only has 27 minutes before 11pm.
10:32 Freeman: Rubio botched a line by suggesting Americans will choose more government over more freedom but otherwise an outstanding speech.
10:29 Strassel: The one-two combo of Ryan (last night) and Rubio (tonight) is powerful. Two young, charismatic men--one of them a Hispanic-American--calling on the country to confront serious issues, and inviting Americans of all persuasions into the effort. Compare this to GOP conventions of the past--even recent ones. This is the new, high-energy generation of the GOP, and it is no longer your father's party.
10:26 Freeman: Rubio does a nice job speaking to those suffering since the financial crisis about the new beginnings that the American system makes possible—if we allow the freedom that has always been at its core.
10:24 Strassel: One last note on the Eastwood speech: Who says nice, clean-cut Republican delegates don't appreciate off-color humor?
10:20 Freeman: Rubio sums up the Obama agenda: "These are ideas that people come to America to get away from."
10:19 Mary Anastasia O'Grady: Dirty Harry brings down the house.
10:17 Strassel: Clint Eastwood could just stand on the stage, and stare at the sky, and people would go crazy. Nothing he is saying is profoundly deep or policy oriented, but his ability to say a few choice phrases in his Eastwood way and his gravelly voice --"we own this country"--has the crowd nuts.
10:15 Gigot: Better make that 10 Clooneys for every Clint.
10:13 Freeman: "When somebody does not do the job, we gotta let him go," says Clint. That might run a few times in TV ads in swing states.
10:10 Riley: I don't think these attempts to humanize Mitt with video camera footage of him playing with the kids are half as effective as the steady stream of testimonies we heard over the past hour about his record as a governor, a businessman and a savior of the Olympics.
10:08 Henninger: Forget the rock groups. The Man With No Name is endorsing Mitt. This is the top.
10:04 Daniel Henninger: So the table has been set for Romney and his speech. They have done a terrific job of putting across that Mitt Romney is a genuine good and giving person and friend. It now falls to him to take his audience and the electorate past his humanity and private-sector accomplishments. The U.S. presidency is the world's most public, political job. Romney's speech now has to give evidence that he can step up to this level. It has better be about more than loving America. We all do. Being president, especially now, is about more than that. Paul Ryan gave a tough, political speech. Mitt's better be, too.
10:00 Freeman: Fun home movies from the Romney household but still waiting for the message tonight on how exactly he's going to restart the American jobs engine.
9:54 Gigot: One of the news items today was that Paul Ryan's speech drew millions of few viewers than Sarah Palin's four years ago. Sean Hannity was just interviewing Sarah Palin on Fox, and my immediate instinct was to turn on mute. My guess is that Ryan will be more of a long distance runner.
9:50 Strassel: Beautiful voice, but here is to betting that neither Romney nor Ryan have BeBe Winans on the iPod. Not very exciting PX90 workout music.
9:45 Freeman: OK, now I understand why they wanted Parra to speak. Compelling. But Americans still want to know what Romney is going to do for them. He needs to deliver in his speech.
9:43 James Taranto: "I'm a 5-foot-4 Mexican-American from California." OK, now identity politics has finally gone too far.
9:38 Freeman: Will never forget when Eruzione and the boys pulled off the miracle on ice at Lake Placid in 1980, but the GOP has skated into a kind of issue-free zone tonight. Is this the best use of scarce prime time to persuade voters?
9:34 Gigot: Who's worth more politically—George Clooney or Clint Eastwood? I'd trade three Clooneys for one Clint. Any takers?
9:33 Gigot: Does Ryan have Taylor Hicks on his iPod? I'm betting no, though Mitt might.
9:32 Strassel: Jane Edmonds, a black woman and a self-described "liberal Democrat" gets on stage to praise Romney as a "real deal" and "inclusive"--based on her time in his cabinet when he was governor of Massachusetts She is now talking about his successful record elevating women who worked in his state government. So much for Mitt's "war on women."
9:29 Freeman: Is Romney's inclusion of a Doobie Brothers tune an effective counter to Ryan's references to AC/DC and Zeppelin last night? Skynyrd would have been a more powerful response.
9:25 Freeman: Former Mass. Secretary of Workforce Jane Edmonds explains how Romney brought more women into top posts in state government. Will this help close the gender gap, or do most female voters want to hear about creating more jobs in the private workforce?
9:22 Freeman: Enough with these politicians. Let's get back to the job creators.
9:20 Freeman: Former Mass. Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey testified to Romney's work ethic and commitment to public service, but her remarks lacked any emotional power.
9:15 Kimberley Strassel: The Romney campaign is making its first big effort to push back on the attacks on Bain Capital, and that is a heartening sight. The Bob White and Tom Stemberg speeches were effective, as was the video tale of Steel Dynamics. Let's hope the campaign also goes beyond showing CEOs, and featuring live or in testimonial some of the workers at these places--showing the connection between job creators and the average American.
9:13 Paul Gigot: Those testimonials about Romney in the last hour were impressive and moving. I cover politics for a living and I didn't know those stories. Can you imagine if they had been about, say, Bill Clinton? They would have been in books, media profiles and probably a TV movie five years ago. Romney's modesty has probably hurt him.
9:10 Freeman: Ray Fernandez, a former employee of a Bain-backed firm, reports that the experience allowed him to start his own business. The campaign can't tell enough of these stories. Swing voters have soured on Obama but have also been watching those Bain attack ads,
9:08 James Freeman: Effective telling of the Steel Dynamics story via video.
9:05 Jason Riley: If Romney hasn't put Staples CEO Tom Stemberg in a political ad yet, they ought too. He's doing a very good job. Voters need to hear about how private equity works, and everybody's heard of Staples.
Welcome to the final night of our instant analysis of the Republican national convention, edited by James Freeman.
Wednesday night
11:09 Henninger: Ryan hit a 450-foot shot into the upper deck. Gives Mitt the lead, and now he has to hold it.
11:06 Strassel: Ryan talks about Romney's business accomplishments, but again, somewhat fleetingly. He says it is good to run a successful business, which is true, but he presents this in a passing few sentences. The Romney campaign's challenge is to take on the Obama attack on Bain, and in the process address the class-warfare argument. This attack isn't going away, and the reluctance to address it remains the Romney campaign's biggest liability.
11:02 Rabinowitz: Paul Ryan's gift – it's a rare one—is his capacity to communicate emotional force on issues that don't normally lend themselves to such things. "We have to stop spending money we don't have" isn't the kind of statement normally apt to rouse fervor in people's hearts (other than a sliver of the body politic.) But Ryan's capacity to deliver the heartfelt logic that makes such statements strike home is remarkable. The prospect of those vice presidential debates ahead becomes more enthralling by the minute.
11:00 Finley: Ryan's line about a "government-planned life" reminds me of Julia, the character the Obama campaign created last spring to show how women are dependent on government at every stage in their lives.
10:58 Taranto: To judge by the applause just now, lots of delegates have adult kids living at home.
10:54 Freeman: Ryan paints a picture of our current problems: 20-somethings still living in their childhood bedrooms staring at fading Obama posters and wondering when their real lives will begin.
10:53 Daniel Henninger: Sooo, all that media and pundit criticism today of Chris Christie and the Republicans for not taking it to Obama by name. Never mind.
10:51 Freeman: Ryan correctly notes that Bush helped Obama create the spending disaster. They both built that.
10:48 Strassel: Paul Ryan marks the shift in this convention from the broad theme about the GOP as a energetic and inclusive party, to the specifics of tough policy issues. His speech so far has touched on debt, unemployment, the wasted stimulus, the problems of ObamaCare, and the housing crisis. These include subjects that Ryan has spent more than a decade explaining, and that the Romney-Ryan ticket is going to have to convince Americans to win this election.
10:44 Taranto: Paul Ryan's defending Medicare will irritate ideologues on both sides, but those on the right should take comfort that it points to the impossibility of expanding the entitlement state limitlessly.
10:39 O'Grady: Ryan: the Joe Friday of the recession: Just the facts m'am. Relentlessly.
10:32 Freeman: Ryan has good comic delivery in saying that Obama has mentioned a time or two the problems created before he became president. And then gets right to the point about issue #1: unemployment and the lackluster economy.
10:31 Strassel: Conventions can make stars out of people who are unknown to the public. This was Susana Martinez's evening: Her speech, an optimistic tale that spoke to women, Hispanics, and average Americans, puts her on the national stage. It was also a great warm-up for Paul Ryan.
10:28 Riley: Gov. Martinez's realization as a married adult that she held Republican beliefs reminds me of Reagan's quip that "Hispanics are Republicans. They just don't know it yet."
10:27 Finley: Martinez has spunk and an inspiring narrative. This could be the Obama 2004 speech of the convention.
10:24 Kimberley Strassel: Susana Martinez, a woman who know her way around gun terminology, and can joke about it too. Where can you go wrong?
10:20 Freeman: So if I got that right, Martinez was working for her family-owned small business when she carried a handgun to defend a place of worship--along with her father the Marine vet. The GOP base is falling in love.
10:18 Gigot: Susana Martinez is the pistol-packing Kim Strassel of New Mexico.
10:17 O'Grady: Condi should get out of the foreign policy biz and go domestic. She hits the nail with her K-12 education Jeremiad.
10:15 Dorothy Rabinowitz: Condoleezza has emerged a superbly authoritative speaker—the perfect public voice, the masterful delivery, the voice of moral authority that can command respect. She's the class act here.
10:14 Feith: Rice: "That is the question of the moment: 'Where does America stand?' . . . The U.S. has since the end of World War II had an answer. We stand for free peoples and free markets. We are willing to support and defend them. We will sustain a balance of power that favors freedom." Sounds like the philosophy of the WSJ editorial page: "We speak for free markets and free people, the principles, if you will, marked in the watershed year of 1776 by Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence and Adam Smith's 'Wealth of Nations.'"
10:12 Finley: Rice makes the argument that trade and economics are not zero-sum games as Democrats suggest. Republicans need to do a better job of explaining how all workers benefit from free trade and markets.
10:09 Freeman: Condi is the foreign-policy guru but she makes the case on economic growth and vitality, immigration, and education reform as well as anyone.
10:08 Riley: Portman tells us that China is manipulating its currency to the detriment of the U.S., while Condi is preaching free trade. The cognitive dissonance of Team Romney.
10:06 Gigot: Condoleezza Rice is an unusual choice for this prominent speech, because she's not been a candidate in her own right and her expertise is foreign policy. Her choice speaks to the desire of the campaign to rebrand the GOP as a party that is more inclusive and not as partisan as Obama claims. She's also a witness to Romney's ability to be commander in chief.
9:59 Feith: They sent Condi Rice up before the networks began their broadcasts at 10. What explains that? So networks will pick up in her sixth minute?
9:58 Riley: Huckabee provided quite a contrast to Santorum in addressing religious voters and the issues they care about. Happy warrior versus sourpuss.
9:56 Gigot: Huckabee has great stage presence and pacing. You can tell he was once a preacher. If Romney loses, he'll have a shot in 2016.
9:55 Taranto: I'm hanging out with Missouri delegation during Huckabee's speech. Asked a man from St. Louis what he thinks of the Todd Akin situation. "I have an opinion, but I'm not revealing it," he says. Same question to a lady from Kansas City: "I'll just say I was a Brunner supporter," she says. Should Akin drop out? "He should do what's best for the party."
Huckabee is a good speaker, by the way.
9:50 Freeman: Like Pawlenty, took Huckabee a while to warm up but then landed a few good punches on Obama, pointing out that this country rewards people for producing, not promising.
9:48 Gigot: Huckabee gets off good line about Mitt not being perfect but we've lived four years with the man whom the press corps thought was perfect and that hasn't turned out too well.
9:44 Freeman: Why does every speaker have to recite his own biography?
9:43 David Feith: Why is it that, when the television cameras pan to show the convention crowd, the arena looks empty? It doesn't seem to be because of empty seats or missing delegates, but because of enormous blue walls, rafters, dividers and the like. For the viewers at home it suggests an emptier, weaker, less excited environment.
9:42 Riley: Tim Pawlenty is better than that speech.
9:41 O'Grady: Fortuno, a Reagan Republican elected in one of the most notorious welfare states in the U.S. That's a cry for help, more proof that all Americans will vote for freedom if it is offered.
9:39 James Taranto: Gov. Pawlenty was passed up for the vice presidency by two successive Republican nominees. Watching his lackluster speech from the floor, I don't think either John McCain or Mitt Romney has much to regret.
9:37 Mary Anastasia O'Grady: Pawlenty: actually the worst thing about a tatoo is how hard it is to remove. That makes it a lot like Obama in the White House.
9:35 Finley: Pawlenty shows off his attack dog skills. But why couldn't he let the dog out during the primary?
9:32 Freeman: Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty missed on several attempts at humor but he scores by pretending to console Obama and pointing out that lots of people "fail at their first jobs."
9:30 Allysia Finley: Fortuno's speech in itself wasn't particularly brilliant or inspiring, but there was an authenticity in his voice and eyes that reflected a sincere belief in America's greatness.
9:21 Gigot: Lord, forgive me for saying this, but Dick Morris had a good idea. He wondered why the convention hasn't addressed the Bain issue head on, for example, by showing a film explaining all the jobs that Bain companies created and talking with employees who've benefitted from that success. Even after Romney's good op-ed with us last week, the campaign hasn't done enough to debunk Obama's Bain attacks.
9:18 Freeman: Puerto Rico's Fortuno is among the new breed of GOP reform governors and importantly, he couples tax-cutting for economic growth along with spending cuts.
9:13 Jason Riley: Re: Portman's speech: Finally, someone at this convention forthrightly making the case that Romney's success in the private sector is an attribute, not a liability, for a presidential candidate. Can't wait for Romney himself to start making the case as effectively as his supporters do. The electorate is not looking to punish someone who is financially successful, but they might be hesitant to vote for someone who seems uncomfortable discussing his success.
9:11 Paul Gigot: One embarrassment is seeing Rob Portman and Paul Ryan denouncing China as a currency manipulator. This is the Romney position, but I strongly doubt that either Ryan or Portman really believe it. Like Joe Lieberman in 2000 with Al Gore, sometimes you have to take one for the team. But this is still an unfortunate bit of demagoguery that Romney and Ryan will find it impossible to do anything serious about, unless they want to harm the economy.
9:08 Freeman: Portman is a solid guy with a solid message, but not hitting it out of the park tonight.
9:04 James Freeman: Ohio Sen. Rob Portman muddling through a speech. Seems to be a lot of extraneous chatter in the arena.
8:58 p.m. ET Thanks to all for visiting the second night of our running commentary edited by James Freeman and featuring contributions from the Journal's editorial board.
Tuesday Night
11:12 Finley: Chris Christie's speech reminds me of how disappointed many conservatives were a year ago when he decided not to run for president----and even more so when he threw his weight behind Mitt Romney. It didn't seem to make sense that such a candid conservative would endorse the moderate in the primary. In hindsight, however, both were wise decisions and reflect well on Christie's political judgement.
11:07 Levy: Christie is the GOP enforcer. "Real leaders don't read polls, real leaders change polls" was a very good line. People should get out their lighters after that like at a Springsteen concert.
11:05 Kissel: Chris Christie's speech, like Ann Romney's, was so effective that MSNBC is reduced to criticizing Mitt Romney's body language.
11:02 Moore: "Shared sacrifice". Ughh.
11:01 Finley: Good point about real leaders changing polls. Who would have thought two years ago that Christie would now be boasting a nearly 60% approval rating and that his pension reforms would be so popular?
11:00 Gigot: Fascinating to see Christie leave Obama more or less unscathed, at least directly, and instead criticize him indirectly for lack of leadership. He's focusing on the independents who don't want the partisan rhetoric but want problems solved. "This era of absentee leadership in the Oval Office." And: "I have faith in us." And: "Real leaders don't follow polls. Real leaders change polls." Very effective speech that helps Romney and will help Christie's reputation.
10:57 Freeman: Christie's call for a "second American century" is delivered with a defiant tone and will resonate. Like many American parents he has no intention of having his kids live in a country with the world's second largest economy. He's not accepting the "new normal" of Obama-era mediocrity.
10:56 Feith: Christie hasn't yet mentioned the name "Barack Obama"--and, according to the text circulating online, he won't do so once in his 2,600 words.
10:54 Strassel: Chris Christie appeals to American exceptionalism, a follow-on to his speech at the Reagan library a year ago. He ties this in to New Jersey's willingness to tackle the hardest problems, exhorting the country to do the same at a federal level. This is an inclusive speech, making a distinction between special interests ("teachers unions") and the mass of average Americans ("teachers"). Good distinction.
10:52 Riley: Christie is giving an excellent speech that frames Obama's failures as an inability to make hard choices and say no—essentially, an unwillingness to treat voters like adults. I've heard Ryan speak in such terms as well. I think it's much more effective (and truthful) than Romney's "Obama is a good man who's in over his head" stump speech line.
10:49 Freeman: Christie says Democrats "believe in teachers unions. We believe in teachers." This is the message that worked in NJ.
10:47 Finley: Christie has done in New Jersey what many Republicans hope Mitt Romney will do for the country: stop its decline and initiate a turnaround. New Jersey isn't out of the woods, but Christie has pulled the state back from its fiscal cliff.
10:45 Feith: Good that Christie is getting to numbers and specifics. The point about politicians chasing popularity and being unwilling to say 'no' (to things like unaffordable perks for public-employee unions) is unlikely to resonate with voters as just an abstraction about leadership, toughness etc. What has made Christie's YouTube videos such a sensation are the specifics he's always able to marshal.
10:42 Rabinowitz: As ever selfless, the governor, stressing the important value of toughness, is reminding us that he's the quintessence of all we need. His mother's son.
10:40 Gigot: Interesting biographical start to Christie, using his own story to get into the theme of leadership and tough talk.
10:36 Gigot: Ann Romney's lack of speaking polish somehow makes her advocacy more compelling and credible. The part of the speech claiming solidarity with all women was a bit too poll-tested for my ears, but her testimonial to her husband and his character and their life story was very effective. And why can't Mitt make that argument for Bain Capital?
10:35 Henninger: Ann Romney: Amazing political speech that didn't sound political. Remarkable.
10:32 Freeman: Ann Romney's guarantee: "He will not fail." She didn't fail either. A strong performance.
10:30 Finley: Ann Romney tells a feel-good love story. Mitt's selflessness and sacrifice in his marriage helps soften his image. Her speech may be targeted at mothers, but it also has a certain appeal for young women who are looking for such chivalry and compassion.
10:29 Levy: Ann Romney is putting it all out there for women. "Mothers hold the country together....You are the best of America...there would be no America without you. We salute you and sing your praises." Etc. Should remind the audience of Dem strategist Hillary Rosen's cringe-worthy comment this spring that Ann Romney (mother of 5) had 'never worked a day in her life.'
10:26 Strassel: Ann Romney is smartly tapping into American women's' intense interest in the economy, by referencing their daily concerns: succeeding in the work place, coming home to juggle a family, finding the money to fill the gas tank, and pay for the groceries. This is the Republican's best opening into the women's vote.
10:25 Freeman: Finally someone is aggressively defending Romney's business success. "He built it!"
10:24 Freeman: Ann Romney reports they are still in love and says with conviction that nobody will work harder than her husband to help the country.
10:14 Freeman: Ann Romney sure got their attention when she said she wanted to talk about love. She's talking so far about motherly love but everyone's wondering what she's going to say about her high-school sweetheart.
10:13 Taranto: Ann Romney is now live on ABC, CBS and NBC. Cancelling Monday's proceedings was not wholly disadvantageous for the Republicans.
10:10 Finley: It's amazing how the Boeing flap has catapulted Nikki Haley into the national spotlight and helped consolidate her support in South Carolina, which had fractured during the contentious 2010 gubernatorial primary. It speaks to Obama's power to rally and unify Republicans.
10:09 Riley: The governors, including to Haley, seem to be focusing on Romney's record as governor and his role in saving the Utah Olympics, but they're not talking about his record at Bain. This is a mistake that I'm guessing the Democratic speakers will not make next week.
10:07 Gigot: Good time to pull the plug on Governor Haley. Get on with the main events.
10:05 Rabinowitz: Of the speakers thus far Artur Davis has been the most persuasive and penetrating—not least in that line where he evoked the Left's descriptions of America as a place of the oppressed and hopeless and he asked—"Is this the America you recognize?" One of those lines that gets to the heart of things.
10:04 Riley: MSNBC didn't show the Artur Davis speech. Can someone explain that? Melissa Harris-Perry must be furious.
10:02 Taranto: Support for voter ID a remarkably strong applause line for Nikki Haley. I wonder if speakers at the DNC will get equally intense cheers for opposition to it, or if they'll express opposition so straightforwardly.
10:00 Henninger: So, the screen says Chris Christie goes on at 10:40. If we're lucky. The party's one genuine rock star. The one Republican other than the nominees the country most wants to tune in to see. And viewers all over America as 10 p.m. arrives are losing altitude. This is like the U.S. Tennis Open pushing a Roger Federer match past 11 p.m. while prime time fills with qualifiers and players most viewers barely know. The archaic scheduling incompetence that guarantees a diminished Christie audience is almost endearing.
9:58 Riley: Funny line from Artur Davis about speaking at the wrong convention last time. The crowd seems to be enjoying the levity. He's staying away from race and got in a good line about health-care reform. On the latter issue, at least, nothing has changed for him. Which is one reason Davis isn't Charlie Crist. Davis was the only member of the Congressional Black Caucus to oppose Obamacare.
9:57 Gigot: Artur Davis gives the best speech by far so far, deflating Obama's 2008 rhetoric against the reality of hard times. He's very effectively speaking to those people who voted for Obama but are disappointing. He's going to be running statewide in Alabama again, and as a Republican.
9:56 Taranto: Clever of Davis to tie Occupy Wall Street to "You didn't build that" and ask, "Is that what you teach your children about work?"
9:55 Levy: Artur Davis speech is very good, nice light touch, and refreshing after Santorum's mega-church style delivery. "America is a land of second chances--for the 6 million of us who got it wrong in 2008. "You thought it was the glare, we thought it was a halo" and so on. He has the crowd going too, it looks like. "We don't need (the Democratic party) to give us lectures about suffering."
9:54 Taranto: Artur Davis's rhetorical device is a bit of a head-scratcher: "Who knew," he repeatedly asks, that various Obama promises were empty or dangerous? Most of the people in the hall presumably would say they knew.
9:51 Freeman: Davis asks who knew Mr. Obama's answer to the question of whether we would force Americans to buy insurance they can't afford would be: 'Yes we can!"
9:50 Feith: From Artur Davis's announcement in May that he was leaving the Democratic Party: "I have regularly criticized an agenda that would punish businesses and job creators with more taxes just as they are trying to thrive again. I have taken issue with an administration that has lapsed into a bloc by bloc appeal to group grievances when the country is already too fractured: frankly, the symbolism of Barack Obama winning has not given us the substance of a united country. . . . Faith institutions should not be compelled to violate their teachings because faith is a freedom, too. . . . The law can't continue to favor one race over another in offering hard-earned slots in colleges: America has changed, and we are now diverse enough that we don't need to accommodate a racial spoils system. . . . I still think the way we have gone about mending the flaws in our healthcare system is the wrong way—it goes further than we need and costs more than we can bear. Taken together, these are hardly the enthusiasms of a Democrat circa 2012, and they wouldn't be defensible in a Democratic primary."
9:48 Gigot: After Santorum's speech, CNN engages in the usual fretting over abortion, the GOP and the women's vote. Kelly Ayotte does an effective job of parrying and turning the issue back to the economy. The media will never understand that opposition to abortion is a better vote getter for Republicans, at least for those who are one-issue voters, than the pro-choice position is for Democrats. In any case, this year it's way down the list of voter concerns.
9:46 Taranto: In response to calls from Ted Cruz, audience chants, "Yes, we can." Uh-oh, that didn't work out so well last time.
9:45 Freeman: Cruz says "Thank God" a government bureaucrat never got his hands on Mr. Cruz's immigrant father and discouraged him from learning English.
9:44 Riley: Ted Cruz added a line in Spanish about his immigrant dad. Wonder if he knows the GOP platform calls for English as the official language.
9:38 Rabinowitz: "We built it" signs wave all over the convention hall. The GOP narrative blasts a steady stream of advertisement featuring clips from that extraordinarily deadly speech in which the president of the United States asserts, with a discernable smirk of superiority, "you didn't build it." He was talking about Americans who own businesses, about their belief—strange to him, the president makes clear—that they actually built that business. Those clips also carry that not-soon-to-be-forgotten little sneer about how he, the president, is always amused by people who think they succeeded because they think they're smarter than others. Then comes the president's point announced in a triumphal tone—" You didn't build it''. It's tone of a prosecutor who has zeroed in with particular cleverness, to the truth about some lying defendant.
All of the videos capture the tone, the words, in all their incendiary effect. A farmer who has enlarged his farm by years of hard work from forty acres to three hundred. A factory owner. A stream of other small business owners are up on the screen, quietly retorting, "We built it." All against the backdrop of the president making that speech, with that line of his ringing out again and again, "you didn't build that."
Whatever else comes in this Convention, we have already seen a display of the most extraordinary emotional power. It took adroit political instincts to run with this theme as the GOP show's managers have—to have understood it's potency and power to enrage so well. It would be a hopeful sign if the Romney team puts those instincts to work the rest of the campaign.
9:34 Gigot: The GOP needs to have someone on stage speak to its pro-life voters, and Santorum is the one who's doing it. He does it an appealing and dignified way, and the story of his daughter adds credibility.
9:32 Taranto: Santorum's speech has a manic-depressive quality to it—he moves with remarkable speed from bitter denunciation to patriotic uplift.
9:30 Henninger: Rick Santorum is covering the same subjects that elevated him from the back of the pack in the primaries—personal freedom, healthy families, and honest American work. Interestingly, now out of the race, he's less intense, more relaxed and more effective. He's helping the GOP message tonight. They needed somebody to say these things.
9:27 Gigot: Santorum on stage reminds us what might have happened had he won Wisconsin. Romney's victory there all but closed the deal for him, and that's also where he got to know Paul Ryan. Now Ryan has been elevated to national status with Santorum.
9:23 Freeman: Rick Santorum gets off a good line about his immigrant grandfather and the opportunities available in the U.S. when he came here in the 1920s. "There were no government benefits for immigrants except one: Freedom."
9:15 Freeman: Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval introduces entrepreneur who seems upset he doesn't get as many orders from government as during the Bush years. Not sure he's the classic entrepreneur GOP wants to highlight.
9:09 Taranto: Scott Walker is a good speaker but not a great one. That he was featured in prime time is testimony to how important his bold approach to governance has been to today's Republican Party.
9:05 Welcome to all just checking into our convention night running commentary, edited by James Freeman. This should be fun. Tonight's lineup of swing-state Republican governors is a good message for Mitt Romney, if he can link himself to their success. Scott Walker in Wisconsin, John Kasich in Ohio and Bob McDonnell in Virginia make a compelling contrast with Obama's economic record.
9:00 Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker received a rock-star welcome.
8:58 Effective series of videos with entrepreneurs rebutting Mr. Obama's most infamous speech
8:57 p.m. ET "We Built It" night at the GOP convention is focused on reviving business creation and job growth. VA Gov. Bob McDonnell says he favors "big dreams" of entrepreneurs over the schemes of big government.
Mr. McDonell says GOP will celebrate job creators -- and he's introduced Virginia entrepreneur Bev Gray. She describes going years without a paycheck before business success.

McKayla Maroney in the mixed zone after Olympic podium training
Reigning World Vault Champion McKayla Maroney of Team USA was injured in training upon arrival to London and has been extremely limited in training since then. Her status was qustionable until today when Maroney showed up to Olympic podium training looking completely unfazed, just as she did after her concussion before the Olympic Trials.
Maroney only practiced vault in today's training. Orignally the plan was to use her on floor as well. Maroney looks more than ready to claim Olympic Gold on the vault. She threw a few effortless Amanar vaults, and looked strong in her upgraded second vault, a Mustafina.
Maroney confirmed that it was a toe injury which occured while training her beam dismount her first day in London. The MRI revealed it was an old break. It still causes some pain but she says it will not hold her back here in London.
Click here to watch the video interview with McKayla Maroney talking about her injury, and more!

text: DC Nation was a group of shows and shorts based on DC Comics that aired on Cartoon Network on Saturday morning. It premiered on March 3, 2012, and is produced by Warner Bros. Animation. Some of the shows in DC Nation include Green Lantern: The Animated Series and Young Justice (with Beware the Batman in 2013).[1] On June 8, 2012, Cartoon Network announced that it would revive the Teen Titans animated series as Teen Titans Go!, based on the New Teen Titans shorts, in 2013; episodes began airing in April of that year
