What You Need to Know About Diet Soda and Weight Loss
Get the facts about fizzy drinks.
June 12, 2014 -- You probably heard about a new study published in the journal Obesity, which says diet drinks can help people lose more weight than drinking plain water. But you've probably also read time and time again that diet soda drinkers are more likely to be obese.
One report found that two-can-a-day diet drinkers had a 54 percent chance of becoming overweight or obese, compared to 32 percent for those who drank the same amount of regular soda. You may have also heard about research linking artificial sweeteners to increased sugar cravings.
So if this latest study has left you confused, that's understandable. Here's the gist of the study, my take on how to put the results in perspective, and why I believe you should keep reaching for water.
10 Reasons to Give Up Diet Soda
In a nutshell, two groups of men and women were introduced to the same diet and exercise program, with one exception. One group drank water, and the other downed diet soda. After 12 weeks, the diet soda drinkers lost 5.95 kg (about 13 pounds) compared to 4.09 kg (just under 9 pounds) for those who drank water. The study authors speculate that the water group may have lost less weight because they indulged their sweet cravings with foods that, unlike diet soda, contained calories—including yogurt, cookies, and ice cream.
The study's co-author, Dr. Jim Hill of the University of Colorado's Anschutz Health and Wellness Center, told CNN, "It makes sense that it would have been harder for the water group to adhere to the overall diet than the (artificially-sweetened beverage) group." In other words, you have to satisfy your sweet tooth somehow.
Despite the four extra pounds diet-soda drinkers lost in this study, I just can't recommend drinking diet OR regular soda. We've all heard about the dangers of excess sugar, and regular soda is the top source in the American diet.
And artificial sweeteners are well, artificial. As a proponent of clean eating, I believe that everything we consume should serve a natural purpose—either to fuel our activity, help our cells perform their vital functions, or provide the building blocks for healing, repair, and cell maintenance. Artificial sweeteners don't do any of this, and I have concerns regarding other studies about their potential unwanted effects, including a study out last year linking diet soda to depression, and one from 2011 about diet soda and stroke risk.
But this study does bring up an important point: many people may need to eat something sweet on a regular basis. In my private practice, I find that clients with sweet cravings can't completely nix treats—trying to do so often leads to overeating other savory foods, or breaking down and binging on "forbidden" sugary foods. But there are ways to incorporate goodies made with natural sweeteners into an overall healthy diet, while still minimizing your intake of added sugar—and getting your fix from foods that contain beneficial nutrients.
I'm talking about options like dark chocolate, baked goods made with whole grain or nut flours, ice cream made with plant based "milk" like coconut or almond, and desserts that incorporate antioxidant and nutrient-rich fruits, like cobbler. Yes, they contain calories, but you can prevent calorie overkill—and weight gain—by making room for occasional sweet treats within a nutritious meal.
For example, if you're really craving an oatmeal-dark-chocolate-chip cookie, ditch the bread on a sandwich and opt for a garden salad topped with lean protein instead. Or, if you're out to dinner and you want to split a dessert, forgo the bread basket and starchy side dish and order an entree of steamed or grilled veggies and lean protein. In my experience, this kind of give and take is not only doable socially and emotionally, it's also balanced and sustainable, which results in successful long-term weight management.
24 Food Swaps That Slash Calories
So if you're trying to lose weight, I say stick with good old H2O; and if you have a sweet tooth, manage it in savvy ways that involve enjoying real, natural foods. And remember that your weight is a side effect of your relationship with food. Finding balance and eating in ways that make you feel nourished, energized, and well are the real keys to a healthy body and a healthy weight.

EDITORIAL: IRAQ: Sadr City, Iraq
The Shite Slum in north Baghdad, home to 2 million urban poor, is the center of popular power for Radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, and a no go area for American troops. In May 2008 Sadr City was the center of intense fighting between American and Iraqi Army units and militants loyal to the cleric. Scores of homes were destroyed and many civilians lost their lives. But life does go on, and Sadr City has begun to rebuild and move on in relative peace. Currently, as part of a peace deal between the American Army and Iraq government with the militants, a separation wall has been built splitting the district between the North and South. The American Army Patrols a small patch of land on the south part of the wall, while the Iraqi Army patrols a small area in the North. Much of the city is still under control of the Militants.

Project Director: Todd Olinsky-Paul
Contact: Todd Olinsky-Paul, email@example.com
The Energy Storage Technology Advancement Partnership (ESTAP) is a federal-state funding and information sharing project, managed by CESA, that aims to accelerate the deployment of electrical energy storage technologies in the U.S.
The project's objective is to accelerate the pace of deployment of energy storage technologies in the United States through the creation of technical assistance and co-funding partnerships between states and the U.S. Department of Energy.
ESTAP conducts two key activities:
1) Disseminate information to stakeholders through:
- The ESTAP listserv (>2,000 members)
- Webinars, conferences, information updates, surveys
2) Facilitate public/private partnerships at the state level to support energy storage demonstration project development:
- Match bench-tested energy storage technologies with state hosts for demonstration project deployment
- DOE/Sandia provide funding for generic engineering, monitoring and assessment, as well as engineering consulting services
- Cost share from states, utilities, foundations, other stakeholders
The value proposition for participating states is to work closely with the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (DOE-OE) on near-term joint funding and technology deployment; to join a network of leading states supporting energy storage technology; and to achieve faster progress in electrical energy storage commercialization and economic development.
Electrical energy storage has the potential to provide significant support to the integration of renewable energy in the U.S. However, public funding and support are critical to accelerate progress and achieve cost reductions and widespread deployment for these technologies, including batteries, flywheels, thermal storage, site-anywhere compressed air, micro-pumped hydro, and others.
DOE-OE and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) are interested in accelerating the pace of deployment of distributed electrical energy storage technologies through a cooperative partnership with interested states. Clean Energy States Alliance has been asked to establish and facilitate these state-federal energy storage technology advancement partnerships, which are funded by DOE-OE through SNL.
How to Participate
Anyone can join the ESTAP listserv and receive periodic updates about this project by clicking the link above. Interested stakeholders, including state and municipal policymakers, public utility commissioners, utilities, manufacturers, universities, and others are encouraged to participate. Listserv members will receive informational emails and notices of upcoming webinars and other events. ESTAP webinars are offered at no charge.
States, municipalities, and other entities interested in partnering with CESA and DOE-OE to support energy storage deployment projects are invited to contact Todd Olinsky-Paul, ESTAP project director. States and municipalities are asked to use their best efforts to identify and secure state-based funding to help support energy storage projects proposed for deployment in their state. There is no required funding amount to participate, but some state support is necessary in order for DOE-OE/State partnership project deployments to succeed.
For more information on ESTAP, contact Project Director Todd Olinsky-Paul (email@example.com or 802.223.2554).

Nearing End of Phase 1
End of the month and end of the pre-spring game workouts. Ooops, leap year. So there's another day to February and two more days of workouts, Thursday and Friday. Wednesday is a game day, well, sort of, as Florida State University and the Phillies play at 1 o'clock in the afternoon at Bright House Field. Gates open at 10:30 a.m.
Bright sunshine greeted the players today at Carpenter Complex. Same routine, exercises, long-tossing, fundamentals, batting practice and more conditioning.
From my experience, spring training has three phases: can't wait to get here, can't wait to start playing games, can't wait to start the regular season. We're closing out phase one.
Streak Broken
Chris Wheeler, one of the Phillies TV broadcasters, will be behind the PA microphone on Wednesday. As an assistant in PR 40 years ago, the PA announcer at Jack Russell Stadium didn't show and I asked Wheels if he could do it. He didn't hesitate. It started a long streak, not the same as Cal Ripken Jr.'s streak, however.
When the Phillies had a TV game, Wheels would switch booths, PA to TV, on the press box level. That usually happened anywhere from three to six times a spring.
This spring every Bright House Field game will be on TV, either Comcast SportsNet, the Comcast Network or MyPhil. So Wheels will not be heard at the ballpark.
All road games will be on radio, WPHT and 94WIP.
Of course MLB.com TV is also a source for watching games and some games can also be heard on MLB.com. ESPN will also televise three games from Clearwater. Check out the spring training schedule on phillies.com for the dates.
Spring Training Memories
Ryan Howard
"Ten years ago in the minor league camp at Carpenter Complex. Wore a high number, something like 65 or 72. Let's see a roommate? Either Danny Gonzalez or Chris Roberson. Remember going through a physical exam and then right out gate, a mandatory two-mile run. If you didn't do it in 16 minutes or less, you had to attend the breakfast club. That meant you had to show up every morning at 6:30 and run two miles until you met the time limit. I never made the breakfast club, fortunately. Went from Clearwater to Lakewood."

Camp Eight:
About two miles from Hawkins Road, or 5 miles from the summit the CZ Trail enters a flat plain tucked into a broad bend in the flanking hills. It was at this location that the Clark & Wilson railroad and their logging interests erected Camp Eight to serve as residential area for their loggers. Probably built in 1928, the site became a burgeoning little town because it occupied an open flat area and it was located near a major fork in the railroad. As mentioned above, the Portland & Southwestern spur that climbed the nearby ridge linked it to the Clark & Wilson line that headed west to another major logging camp called Wilark, and eventually it's own log dump on the Columbia River. Originally, logging companies had housed loggers in railroad cars that were parked near the logging sites. These railroad logging camps were tightly controlled by the company, and workers could only "escape" their quarters from Saturday evening through Sunday—if they could afford the trip to "town." By the 1920s the companies began to build detached homes where the workers lived in a company owned community and commuted to their work sites on the trains that hauled out the wood. Amenities were scarce as this picture of the railroad-based school for the children of Camp Eight illustrates. By the end of 1931 loggers were earning about $4.00 per day! Grace Brandt Martin, the school mistress at the nearby Wilark Camp in 1931 described the typical accommodations,
"The weather-beaten shack that we are to occupy has never been painted on the outside, just like all the other houses I saw around the camp. In the small Kitchen there is a sink piped for cold water and the only, places for storing things are a few crudely built shelves. The bedroom is about the same size as the kitchen, so there is just enough room for a double bed, dresser, and my wardrobe trunk. No closet, naturally, but a makeshift place to hang clothes has been built in one corner."

- Simple BUT Catchy, Punchy!
- Communicates credibility and trustworthiness
- Needs to fit well into a website banner, so horizontal orientation ideal.
- Potential for tagline, but not sure what that is yet. Something like "why pay full price". Logo needs to work with OR without tagline.
- Image component of logo to communicate "get something at a discounted price". Or forexample, "Something you would normally pay $x for, you can get for halfthat price tomorrow, or (say) Sunday". Given the name includes the'time' component of the message to be delivered through the brand, wewould like the image component to be about the 'reduced price'."Quality Service, at a reduced price, at a given time".
- Too busy or cartoony

About the Department
Criminology and Criminal justice is an interdisciplinary field of study. It emphasizes the study of crime and social responses to criminal behavior. Criminal justice majors at the University of Illinois at Springfield study criminal justice institutions and practices, including programs designed to prevent crime, meet the needs of victims, and rehabilitate criminals. The criminal justice curriculum is appropriate for students who:
- have a general interest in studying the American system
of justice,
- want to pursue professional careers in criminal justice
or social service, or
- plan to continue study in graduate school.
The program draws on a variety of liberal arts and professional areas of expertise to study criminal justice and the problems of crime within a broad social context. Students take a core curriculum that familiarizes them with a range of perspectives, methods, and content areas within the criminal justice field. The program's flexible structure allows students to pursue individual interest to develop specializations, or to pursue formal minors in other programs.
The overall goals is to provide students with a strong liberal arts education that focuses on developing intellectual and problem-solving skills.

It is our immense pleasure to announce the beginning of a new PCL Code Sprint sponsored by NVidia: PCL-NVCS!
PCL Code Sprints are intended to rapidly advance the capabilities of the Point Cloud Library in a certain area/subject by offering stipends to talented student developers and pairing them with knowledgeable mentors for several months of accelerated software development. Projects will run for an initial period of 3 months, and all of the code produced will be BSD-licensed open source.
For this spring's PCL-NVidia Code Sprint, we have identified the following important areas for further development in PCL, and we are therefore searching for outstanding candidates (and mentors) to work on the following projects:
Human Body tracking: The high-level purpose of this project is to implement and analyze various techniques for extracting humans body poses in dense 3D data at high speed with CUDA. The applications are numerous, from gaming to gesture interfacing. The code sprint component will be a focused implementation that produces fast and reusable code. Some possible code sprint project specifications include:
- Given an estimate of the position of a person's head in an initial RGB-D frame, find and track the arms and head.
- Given a noisy estimate of upper body part labels in RGB-D, fit a cylinder-based upper body model to the depth data.
- Given an initial guess of a human skeleton pose and a RGB-D frame with noisy body part labels, try to refine the skeleton estimate. Then, given subsequent RGB-D frames and noisy part labels, continue to track the skeleton.
- Real-time visualization of large 3D point cloud data on mobile platforms: The purpose of this project is to couple data compression and streaming with 3D visualization for mobile platforms. Additional sensors available on mobile platforms such as IMUs will be integrated for the purpose of enhancing the visualization (i.e., keep track of the position of the tablet with respect to the virtual world and use physical gestures to zoom in, rotate, etc by moving the tablet and reading IMU data).
- Deformable object modeling: The purpose of this project is to create deformable models, such as human heads, or deformable toys using non-rigid registration on GPUs from dense 3D data. Applications include morphing and animation of non-rigid object models in real time. Computer graphics experience is a plus.
- Tegra3 optimizations for PCL and Kinect: This project will assemble a list of core components that form the basis of all modern 3D applications with PCL that need to be optimized for Tegra3/Android platforms using shaders, etc. Start with data acquisition (Kinect connected to a tablet), and go slowly towards Kinect Fusion on tablets. Knowledge of ARM optimizations is a plus.
The above projects will run for a period of 3 months divided into two terms. Each student developer will receive a stipend of $5000 per 3 months for their contributions, subject to satisfactory mid-term and final evaluations.
Potential candidates should submit the following information to firstname.lastname@example.com:
- a brief resume
- a list of existing PCL contributions (if any)
- a list of projects (emphasis on open source projects please) that they contributed to in the past
Advanced C++ programming skills are required for all projects. Please remember that this is a unique opportunity to work with some of the world's best 3D perception researchers!
Interested mentors should send a brief e-mail to the address mentioned above pointing out their time commitments and expertise in the field.

Chemotherapy uses drugs to destroy colorectal cancer cells. The drugs enter the bloodstream and travel through the body to the cancer cells. Chemotherapy may be used:
- Before surgery—to shrink the tumor and decrease the amount of tissue that needs to be removed
- After surgery—to kill any remaining cancer cells and decrease the risk of return
- In combination with radiation therapy to shrink tumor
- To help relieve symptoms of metastatic cancer and extend survival time
Chemotherapy Drugs and Delivery
There are a variety of chemotherapy drugs. The choice and combination of drugs will be based on your particular cancer and reaction to drugs. Chemotherapy drugs for colorectal cancer may include:
- 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) with or without leucovorin or oxaliplatin
- Capecitabine with or without oxaliplatin
- Oxaliplatin
- Irinotecan
- Trifluridine and tipiracil
Chemotherapy for colorectal cancer is usually given through an IV, but some forms can be given by mouth. It is delivered in cycles over a set period of time. A medical oncologist will determine how many cycles of chemotherapy are needed and what combination of drugs will work best.
Side Effects and Management
Though the drugs are targeted to cancer cells, they can affect healthy cells as well. The death of cancer cells and impact on healthy cells can cause a range of side effects. A medical oncologist will work to find the best drug combination and dosage to have the most impact on the cancer cells and minimal side effects on healthy tissue. Side effects or complications from chemotherapy may include:
- Increased frequency and urgency of bowel and bladder function
- Numbness, pain, or burning sensation in the the hands and feet—peripheral neuropathy
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Fatigue due to anemia
- Confusion, forgetfulness
A variety of treatments are available to help manage side effects including medication, lifestyle changes, and alternative treatments. In some cases, the chemotherapy regimen may be adjusted to reduce severe side effects. The earlier the side effects are addressed, the more likely they will be controlled with a minimum of discomfort.

In a factory-like basement crammed with shelves loaded with electronic parts and work benches covered in computers, tools and wires, University of Florida students are getting ready to pitch their mobile phone applications to a panel of area entrepreneurs.
In a factory-like basement crammed with shelves loaded with electronic parts and work benches covered in computers, tools and wires, University of Florida students are getting ready to pitch their mobile phone applications to a panel of area entrepreneurs.
They huddle in teams of three or four over their laptops and iPads, making whatever last-minute tweaks are needed before demonstrating their projects here in "Hackerspace" — the name given to a low-ceilinged, unfinished space with bare walls and exposed air ducts that once housed a nightclub. Some wonder where their missing teammates could be and whether they will show up in time.
This is a contest after all. There is real prize money at stake.
And there might be jobs.
"Oh, yeah, and by the way, I am hiring as many people as possible," says Augi Lye, chief executive officer of Trendy Entertainment, a local online gaming company and the sponsor of this year's Killer App Contest.
The event, now in its 12th year, is the brainchild of Sumi Helal, a UF professor of computer and information science and engineering who also is co-founder and director of the Gator Tech Smart House. Helal conceived of the Killer App contest as a way to give students real experience developing a prototype and the pressure of presenting it to a group of potential investors.
It's an important experience for students enrolled in highly sought-after computer degree programs who have an expectation of finding good-paying jobs after graduation but lack the experience or proven track record of developing products that employers want.
Not coincidentally, the entrepreneurs, innovators and investors behind the success of Gainesville's Startup Alley — the burst of new companies led by UF students and graduates in the downtown area — need a highly skilled, talented labor pool to fill key positions as their companies grow and expand. They are working with the Gainesville Area Chamber of Commerce on figuring out ways to keep those students in town rather than following the yellow brick road to the bright lights — big cities where Google, Yahoo and Microsoft are headquartered.
And UF is looking at how many succeed in getting jobs, because one day the state is going to tie funding to performance metrics that include the number of students with science, technology, engineering and math degrees who find work after graduation.
UF produced 413 graduates in computer engineering, electrical engineering, computer sciences and information technology in 2011-12, according to information submitted in an application to the Board of Governors for a performance-based funding grant. The percentage of those graduates who get jobs and certification in targeted tech industries will factor more and more into future funding.
The good news: UF graduates are in demand.
"We have a lot of opportunities for new employees," says Charles Engelke, chief technology officer of Infotech, which has been in Gainesville for 37 years and has 250 employees. He was at a computer science fair at the CSE Building on Monday scouting for recruits. "We're looking for people who want to own the result and not just be a part of the process."
Engelke says he's looking for graduates who can demonstrate critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as an aptitude to learn on their own.
The same criteria are expressed by Mike Fabiano, talent recruiter for Mobiquity, a company that just signed a deal to come to Gainesville and create 260 jobs locally.
"We're looking for students who have devoted time to developing software," Fabiano says. Mobiquity wants to see students who can demonstrate a fundamental understanding of the foundational theories of computing so they can solve new problems, create their own games and apps, and quickly learn new systems.
Those problem-solving skills are on display by the students demonstrating their prototypes at the Killer App competition.
Students from Helal's mobile platforms class split up into teams and create mobile applications as their final project. Sixty-three students split off into 20 teams this year, and only seven made the cut to present their projects in the competition.
"We put a lot of pressure on them, so the toughest made it," Helal says.
He says he pushes the students to create viable, commercial apps, "to not teach the normal classroom experience but to create an environment that simulates the commercial world."
It's important to give students practical experience so they can jump into the rapidly changing commercial world beyond the classroom.
"The hardest part is getting their feet wet," says Lye, who graduated from UF in 2006 with degrees in computer engineering and electrical engineering. "These kids are making their first foray into app development. I think it's great."
This is the first time many of these students have had to make a business presentation outside the classroom, and it shows. One group's presenter gets tongue-tied trying to explain what their app actually does. Another doesn't understand when a judge asks what makes their app "sticky" or "addictive." More than one group runs into technical problems, from a video that won't play to poor audio to a projection camera that won't show the app on a large screen, moving the judges to tell the contestants to just tell them what makes their app special.
Besides Lye, the judges are David Whitney, a former venture capitalist from Silicon Valley and current "entrepreneur in residence" at the UF College of Engineering, and Scott Peeples, the vice president of operations at PeerFit, a local company that created a fitness app and website.
Quincy Liu and Sowmya Hariharan have a travel app that incorporates personal journal entries and photos with travel and weather information available on other websites. When they run into technical problems, Whitney says, "Just tell us what's good about this. Just tell us your story."
Raj Wilhoit infects the judges with his zeal for the app he developed for an iPad version of the Chinese board-and-stone strategy game "Go." He explains how he overcame several problems at the back end to make it easy for anyone to use, to keep it simple. In the end, it is an app that replaces an actual board game. He comes in third and gets $100.
Jeremy Rojas, Richard Turner and Colin White make a presentation that avoids the technological pitfalls, staging a live presentation of their Custom Cards app. The pitch, a dealable deck of cards with which as many as eight people could play any number of games, goes over well enough to garner second place and a $150 check from Trendy Entertainment.
The app that received the most interest is called "App finder." Its team, led by Rohan Menghani, developed an app that mines social media to find out what apps friends are using and how they rate them. Lye says his big concern is whether it would violate any terms of use agreements.
But all judges find that to be the most interesting and give the team the first-place prize of $500.
Watching from a pair of folding seats near the back of the room are Ken and Linda McGurn, local real estate developers who donated the old Wise Guys nightclub to the local computer tech community as an after-hours hangout known as Hackerspace, in which budding innovators can develop their own ideas into viable prototypes.
"This is new, exciting stuff," Linda McGurn says.
Ken McGurn estimates that as many as 350 programmers, coders and designers are working within a four-block radius of Harry's Seafood Grille. They are scattered throughout the cobbled streets of downtown, at the Sun Center, Union Street Station, and the Power District — properties developed by McGurn.
To keep Hackerspace going, those who use the space cover the utilities out of membership dues, says Dan Evenson, a UF graduate who recently moved back to Gainesville to start his own company, Pathway Systems. He applied for space at the Innovation Hub and hired one of his employees from the Hackerspace community.
Most of these tech companies were started by UF graduates with an idea or invention and the gumption to go out and find someone to invest in them. One of these investors is Whitney, who, as managing director of Energent Ventures, has helped GrooveShark, Trendy Entertainment and Altavain.
Part of the tech growth has been fueled by the UF Innovation Hub, a $13.5 million three-story office building on Southwest Second Avenue about halfway between UF and downtown that serves as an "all-inclusive" business incubator.
The Hub houses the UF Office of Technology Licensing, has two floors of dry labs and wet labs for research, and patent attorneys, accountants and investment firms as permanent tenants.
Jane Muir, who runs the Innovation Hub and is associate director of the Office of Licensing Technology at UF, says another 200 tech jobs were created by companies that got their start at the incubator.
"In less than a year and a half since we opened our doors, we can account for 200 jobs of companies that got their starts here in the building," Muir says.
At the Innovation Hub, students work on projects they hope will spawn startup companies that will move out into their own space. The bathrooms have showers because tenants often spend the night working on their projects.
The Hub is designed to "create collisions" between students, creators, investors, patent attorneys and accountants who specialize in startups. Companies that get their start in an incubator have an 87 percent success rate, and 78 percent of those stay in the community, Muir says. Typically, 80 percent of startup companies outside of incubator support fail.
Feathr, a company founded by UF undergraduate engineering students Aidan Augustin and Neal Ormsbee in 2011, occupies a lab on the second floor. They spend their days cramped in a tight space with as many as five other employees.
Augustin says he quit attending classes about 18 months ago to focus on developing a mobile app to replace business cards, an idea that came out of a visit to the Stanford University campus. He and others from UF attended meetups and wanted to exchange contact information with the people they met in Silicon Valley, but nobody had conventional paper business cards, Augustin says.
"We wanted to stay in touch, but there was no straightforward way to do that."
They are due in early May to launch the next version of Feathr, an app that will enable event organizers to allow people to network with each other and with speakers at conferences, receive updates on schedules and rooms, share personal information and build profiles. The company just received a $150,000 investment from the Tampa Bay Chapter of TiE, The Indus Entrepreneurs, to market the app.
Entrepreneurs, though, are finding it difficult to fill positions. At a recent group forum of startup owners and officers sponsored by the Gainesville Area Chamber of Commerce, the biggest issue was finding qualified and experienced people to fill the jobs they need filled.
The consensus was that students are loaded with theory but not so much experience. Even finding a graduate who could show he or she had developed an app or Web page would go a long way, they say. Finding candidates with five years of experience is difficult, too.
Even applicants with master's degrees and two or three Web graphics in their portfolio are hard to find. "I don't need five years. Show me three things you've done," says Toby Sembower, CEO at Digital Brands.
Josh Greenberg, co-founder of the online music-sharing website Grooveshark, has come up with a Grooveshark University and internship program to cultivate employees. After a year of layoffs and downsizing, Greenberg says he is hiring again, but he also has had to go outside Gainesville to recruit people with the skills he needs.
"Gainesville has a serious need for high-end developers," Greenberg says. "Nobody is going to turn them away."
Lye plans to develop his own employees and new prototypes. He has launched the Hacker House, a pet project of his where eight of the brightest engineers will live in a renovated Victorian house in the Duck Pond area, with 12 weeks to come up with eight viable prototypes to show investors.
"It's something that is lacking in other incubators. They are nice spaces, and they have good ideas, but nothing to show for it. Hacker House's sole focus is creating prototypes. Once you have that, you can build a company around it, build a business plan and approach investors."
Some of Gainesville's new entrepreneurs say some of those in academia at UF don't get the startup culture in Gainesville. They are long on theory and short on practice, says Nick Kundra, chief executive officer of Partender, an inventory app for bars and nightclubs.
Persuading graduating students to stay in Gainesville rather than go after the lure of bigger bucks or more urban culture is going to be a challenge, they acknowledge. But what they can offer, they say, is the vibe that Gainesville has, the beauty of its natural surroundings, its affordability and all the things there are to do downtown for young programmers.
Matt Carroll, a UF graduate with bachelor's degrees in computer science and math and a master's degree in digital technology, started his own business, Studio 4 Development, after he got fed up with the interview process that larger companies put graduates through.
"I have an opportunity to do a lot of different things, creative ability you don't get at a large company," Carroll says.
Jessica Gates, chief operating officer of Tap Shield, a mobile blue light app for smart phones founded by former UF Student Body President Jordan Johnson, did her graduate work at UF.
"We have openings for full-time IOS and android developers," she says. "We are looking for students with actual projects. There are so many students who are passionate about mobile development — that's the people we're looking for."
One student dropped by to describe his mobile app for a Chinese board game, she says. That student was Wilhoit, who competed in the Killer App competition days earlier.
"He was so passionate," she says. "We're considering him for a summer internship. I love the passion he had for mobile development."
Wilhoit was on the fence about staying in Gainesville, where he has lived since he was 12. He graduated from Buchholz High School. He went to UF. He lives downtown. And he recently connected with the downtown Hackerspace community.
Some of the people he met through Hackerspace helped him out on his Go game app, he says.
"It's really cool," he says. "You just get together to create things."
That makes his decision to stay or go all the more painful. He'd like to stay in Gainesville because of the scene, but he also is weighing the option of going elsewhere for more money.
Money is a big incentive, he admits. Starting pay with a big company in a big city outside Florida is around $80,000, and at a bigger city in Florida around $60,000, he says. And while Gainesville companies might not have that kind of money to offer, they have other incentives — such as working on your own project and getting it to market.
"I have at least one offer in California," Wilhoit says. "Is it worth moving there?"

Joe Biden said before the election he'd accept Donald Trump's victory and reach out to the president-elect, but nearly a week after the election, the vice president hasn't said much about Trump's win. So the internet is doing it for him, instead.
A series of memes speculating what Biden and President Obama talk about as they prepare to hand over to the Trump administration have been making rounds on social media since Nov. 8.
Most of the memes show Biden setting up pranks for Trump and Obama trying to dissuade him. In one, Biden says he painted "Michelle Obama 2020" on a bedroom ceiling using glow in the dark paint and in another, he says he will not give up the wifi password. Biden and Obama have developed a close relationship over the course of eight years — their "bromance" often on display at joint White House events and during their travels.

Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
While on the campaign trail, Biden slammed Trump for his lewd comments about women and said he would take the Republican "behind the gym" if the two were still in high school. Trump responded at the time that "I'd love that." He went on to call Biden "Mr. Tough Guy."
After meeting with Vice President-elect Mike Pence last week, Biden tweeted, "I just met with @VP-elect Pence at the @WhiteHouse to offer our support for a smooth, seamless transition of power," but he never mentioned Trump in his post-election messages.
At least one meme shared since the Election Day has struck a more somber note, reflecting the mood of many Hillary Clinton supporters:

The founder of International God's Way Church, Daniel Obinim, claims has powers to heal.
"Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou shalt find it after many days and bring one-tenth of your income into the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house. Test me in this way," says the Lord of Armies. "See if I won't open the windows of heaven for you and flood you with blessings."
These are some of the Biblical quotations that have inspired and generated a chain of fake pastors, churches, prophets and bishops, deceiving the people continually around the world.
Has God's house becomes a den of thieves, criminals, cheats, adulterers, fornicators and lairs in Ghana? Ghana is known to be one of the most peaceful and God loving countries in West Africa, with a number of mosques and churches. But the sudden rapid increase of mushroom churches through out the nation, demands if the church truly cares about the poor, the afflicted and those with diverse problems or an institution of profit oriented business.
In my recent visit to Ghana, there is no place I freely passed, without seeing an advert or post boards of pastors, bishops and prophets, which reminded me of one of the prophesies of Jesus Christ: "Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many." Matthew 24:4-5, King James Version.
Among a multitude of pastors in Ghana, is one called 'Bishop' Daniel Obinim, who claims has powers to heal and heads a church known as 'International God's Way Church. Ghanaians are very intelligent people, yet I couldn't find the reason many people have lost their intelligence to follow someone called Daniel Obinim, even when he kowtowed so low to sleep with one of his associate pastor's wives, one that claims of healing an impotent man by holding his penis and stomping a pregnant's woman's belly, during church service, talks of her wife's vagina and involving in other deceitful acts.
What has happened to Ghana, this great nation? On the television, I couldn't believe my ears, Obinim tells the congregation that he has powers to visit people in their dreams, when the great redeemer or messiah, Jesus Christ, who the storm obeys his voice, didn't even visit any of his followers, whether dead or alive in their dreams.
It's a fact that some people are using God's name to steal, confuse, cheat and sleep with members of the church. Is Obinim one of them? Is Bishop and Prophet now titles everyone that claims serving God can confer on himself? The need to ask this question is necessary, because the prophets and bishops in Ghana are now too numerous to count, when the Bible gives reference to few people as major and minor prophets.
Jesus Christ suffered all kinds of persecution but never insulted or cursed anyone. He was oppressed and afflicted and like a lamb, he was led to the slaughter, without opening his mouth, yet Obinim who claims his powers were given to him by Jesus, on national television, insults and uses profane words on anyone that challenges his claims, including former head of state, John Jerry Rawlings. How can Ghanaians take such a person serious to generate such multitudes of followers? Something is wrong in Ghana.
In the time of the apostles, there was a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people. When the apostles were being mistreated, he stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while.
He said to them, "Men of Israel, take care what you propose to do with these men. For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a group of about four hundred men joined up with him. But he was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing. After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census and drew away some people after him; he too perished, and all those who followed him were scattered."
"Now there was a man named Simon, who formerly was practicing magic in the city and astonishing the people of Samaria, claiming to be someone great; and they all, from smallest to greatest, were giving attention to him, saying, "This man is what is called the Great Power of God." Unfortunately, he also perished.
Standing on Gamaliel's words, if Daniel Obinim claims that his powers were from God or Jesus, then he will surely survive, but if they are demonic, magic, occultism or voodoo, then Ghanaians will live to see the painful and disgraceful end of all fake pastors, for misusing God's name to exploit their ignorant followers.

text: A shipment of illegally imported corals intercepted by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has been donated to the National Aquarium. The corals are being used as educational tools in our newest exhibit, Blacktip Reef, as well as for the Aquarium's conservation outreach efforts, school science programs and fabrication templates. The shipment, containing 20 pieces of Seriatopora hystrix (commonly known as birdsnest coral) and 22 pieces of Pocillopora damicornis (sometimes referred to as cauliflower coral), was intercepted by CBP at the port of Tampa, Florida. The corals were cut from the reefs off the coast of the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific. Coral reefs are being threatened by human and environmental factors. Most species of coral are protected under the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species (CITES) and require foreign permits. This international agreement between governments ensures that international trade of wild animals does not threaten their survival. CITES consists of 178 country signatories that protect species like coral worldwide. As the nation's border agency, CBP works closely with the Fish and Wildlife Service to ensure that laws protecting endangered species are enforced at every US port of entry. Corals play a critical role in the ecosystem as they provide spawning, nursery, breeding and feeding habitats for marine species, protect against shoreline erosion and provide local benefits for fishing and tourism industries. These authentic coral pieces have become important tools for our educators, who able to bring coral reefs to life for thousands of visitors every day! We're able to show visitors the beauty of coral and the important role that corals play in our world!

June 30th vs. The Mariners
You know, you can look at this game and say that the Yankees batters did a poor job through the first five innings with runners on base, Joba Chamberlain hit his pitch limit too early, and Brian Bruney was Scott Proctor-like, once again.
But, at the end of the day, if you were at Yankee Stadium today, and sat through a 58 minute rain delay at the start of the game, and then saw all nine innings of this one, you'd be walking away from this event with a pretty big smile on your face – thanks to the win here. So, I'm going to leave it at that – it's a good game for the Yankees…thanks to that "W" you can hang on this puppy.
All told, the Yanks went 15-11 in the month of June – after going 17-11 in May and 12-10 in April. Again, things could be a lot worse. It will be interesting to see how July, August and September unfolds for this Yankees team.

| 10.1°C Belfast
Lady Gaga has taken some time out from her busy schedule to catch pop pal Britney Spears' Las Vegas show.
The Applause singer was in the audience to see the Piece Of Me extravaganza at the Planet Hollywood Resort And Casino, where Britney has a residency.
I Wanna Go singer Britney had previously hinted that a celebrity would be dropping by, and before she performed she tweeted a message to Gaga, saying: "Come hang before the show starts. Can't wait to see you :)."
Gaga did go to see Britney backstage before the event and later tweeted a snap of the pair posing together, captioned: "Me and Brit Brit #Applause4Britney @britneyspears we had so much fun at your show!"
During the concert Gaga was spotted in a VIP section of the crowd. She left before the end, and the stars waved and blew kisses to each other while Britney, 32, carried on singing.
Gaga, 27, also dropped off a handful of roses at the end of the stage.
She later posted another message online saying: " Britney's dad gave us homemade BBQ, it was one of the best things I've ever eatin' in my LIFE."

It seems all but certain that black holes lurk near the centers of distant galaxies, possibly even our own Milky Way. Since the early part of the 20th century, when astronomer Heber Curtis first trained his telescope on the object M87, scientists have observed distant objects in the sky with jets of material (Curtis called them "Straight Rays") being spewn out at velocities approaching the speed of light. But within the past few years, astronomers have discovered that powerful accelerators of material are also found close to home, in our own galactic neighborhood, as nearby black holes with jets.
Dr. B. Alan Harmon of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center will be presenting the results of multi-wavelength studies of these "Superluminal Sources" - so-named because relativity effects cause the jets of material to appear to be moving faster than the speed of light - in an invited presentation on Wednesday, June 11, at the 190th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
In order to make the jets like the one shown at the upper-right of the picture above, deep in the nucleus of a distant galaxy, something must accelerate particles to very high energies. The only way we know of to supply that energy is from the immense gravitational energy reservoir of a black hole. However, it can be difficult to see down into the center of a galaxy (the bright spot at the lower left of the above picture) to get the details of what is going on due to the surrounding stars and dust and the great distance these objects are away from Earth.
What astronomers needed was a way to observe such jets at close range. This opportunity came in 1994 with the discovery that two X-ray sources, which became very bright that year, were also accelerating matter in the form of jets. The most surprising aspect of these sources is that they were in our own Galaxy, practically in the neighborhood compared to distant galaxies. In addition, the jets, which can be seen in radio telescopes as a string of bright "blobs", actually appear to move on the sky in a few hours. Traveling at near the speed of light, these blobs carry huge amounts of energy away from the central object, which astronomers believe is a black hole several times more massive than the Sun.
These X-ray sources are known by the technical names GRS 1915+105 and GRO J1655-40, after the space-based Russian Granat and U.S. NASA Compton Gamma Ray Observatory that discovered them, respectively, and their location in the sky. These sources do not represent the powerful central engine in the nucleus of a distant galaxy, but in fact are a special breed of binary X-ray source which we knew little about until recently.
It seems that GRS 1915+105 and GRO J1655-40 may be scaled-down versions of the distant galactic nuclei (not a few million solar masses, but more like 3 or 10 times the mass of our Sun), which reside in a binary system, along with a low mass star from which matter is accreted onto the black hole. The material which is drawn off the star doesn't fall straight into the black hole, however, but instead forms in a frisbee-like shape surrounding the black hole, in an objects astronomers call an "accretion disk." One unusual thing about the jets is that they do not seem to be common to all black hole binaries. If they were commonplace, we probably would have known about them earlier. Another unusual thing is that, occasionally, whenever the X-ray source flares into a bright state, the jets are detected in the radio band of the electromagnetic spectrum, while at other times they are not seen.
The transient production of jets is puzzling, and is still not understood by scientists. What it means is the "Galactic Accelerator" can turn itself on and off. This would be very difficult to observe in an extragalactic source because of the restriction imposed by the speed at which light travels. Consequently, the distant extra-galactic jets are observed to change very slowly from one year to the next.
If a black hole binary can make jets occasionally, what are the conditions necessary for jets to be produced? The answer may be in the accretion disk and surrounding regions, which shine in X-rays during outburst. The trigger for jet production clearly seems to be connected to the appearance of X-rays and gamma rays, which tells us that material has been, or is flowing from the star into the accretion disk.
Observers have found that the X-ray and gamma ray radiation has special properties when jets are present that do not look quite the same as in other black hole systems. The patterns seen in observation suggest that accreting material may be feeding the jets. The ability to turn jets on and off could be related to how much material is accreted, and how much energy can be stored and for how long.
It remains for theorists to test models for the disk-jet system against the observations. These models have many features which are not directly observable, such as the size of the accretion disk and the strength of electromagnetic fields near the black hole. Once we have a good idea of these physical parameters, models can yield precise predictions. For example, even a modest magnetic field would be able to release the energy stored in the disk, and produce the collimated outflow we see as a jet.
We are fortunate, at least for a while, that GRO J1655-40 and GRS 1915+105 remain active and are being monitored daily from the ground and in space by a host of observatories. Observers around the world are also looking for new objects with jets, and in the very near future may clear the way for understanding of these unusual binary systems, and possibly even the central engines of active galaxies. Having such objects nearby in our "neighborhood" for a close look makes a big difference in helping us understand what powers these exotic jets.

It's amazing the number of things you never have to consider before becoming a parent – breastfeed or formula feed; cloth diapers or disposables; vaccinations; when to start solids; organic vs. conventional foods; public school, private school or homeschool; and, of course, if you are having a boy – whether or not to circumcise.
I hope to write about my feelings, opinions and choices regarding circumcision and my son, knowing full well that everyone who reads this blog will not agree with me. I think that anyone who has a son will have their list of reasons for why they decided for or against circumcision. I simply wish to share my reasons here (and some of the information I came across along the way) for deciding against it.
I hope that by including some links below to reputable sources, other parents who are trying to decide what is best for their son can make an informed decision – whether it be to circumcise or not.
I am not here to judge and it is my hope that any discussion that happens below in the comments remain civil and respectful, despite how strongly you may feel about this topic. I also ask that any "anonymous" posters please sign their posts with a name. Thank you.
The short and sweet answer as to why Jody and I are not having our son circumcised is that we can't find a single reason to indicate that it is a necessary procedure.
I believe that the body we are born with, in its entirety, is that way for a reason. I think that each different part has a unique purpose for existing. If we didn't need a certain part, I believe that over time we would evolve so that it no longer existed.
In doing my research on circumcision, I came across a lot of interesting information. Some of it has to do with the origins of circumcision in the United States, some about the actual procedure, some about the effects of circumcision and about the current rates of circumcision in the U.S. I read a lot more than I will blog about here, but these are some things I thought were worth mentioning.
"Circumcision started in America during the masturbation hysteria of the Victorian Era, when a few American doctors circumcised boys to punish them for masturbating. Victorian doctors knew very well that circumcision denudes, desensitizes, and disables the penis. Nevertheless, they were soon claiming that circumcision cured epilepsy, convulsions, paralysis, elephantiasis, tuberculosis, eczema, bed-wetting, hip-joint disease, fecal incontinence, rectal prolapse, wet dreams, hernia, headaches, nervousness, hysteria, poor eyesight, idiocy, mental retardation, and insanity. In fact, no procedure in the history of medicine has been claimed to cure and prevent more diseases than circumcision. As late as the 1970s, leading American medical textbooks still advocated routine circumcision as a way to prevent masturbation." — Paul M. Fleiss, MD The Case Against Circumcision
Uh, I'm not a guy and no expert, but I am pretty sure that circumcision does NOT prevent masturbation.
"Today the reasons given for circumcision have been updated to play on contemporary fears and anxieties; but one day they, too, will be considered irrational. Now that such current excuses as the claim that this procedure prevents cancer and sexually transmitted diseases have been thoroughly discredited, circumcisers will undoubtedly invent new ones. But if circumcisers were really motivated by purely medical considerations, the procedure would have died out long ago, along with leeching, skull-drilling, and castration. The fact that it has not suggests that the compulsion to circumcise came first, the "reasons," later." — Fleiss
The fact that new reasons to continue the circumcision practice are being invented is rather disturbing if you ask me.
One website I came across in my research shows step-by-step (graphic) pictures of an actual circumcision of a newborn boy. What Happens During Circumcision There is also a video there, but the pictures alone were more than enough for me. I don't think I could've stomached the video. I had never thought much about the actual procedure itself. I figured that the foreskin was clamped and removed without much effort and the baby was left to heal over the next week or whatever. I didn't think about the baby needing to be restrained, whether or not any type of anesthesia is used, the foreskin needing to be pried apart from the penis, the amount of bleeding involved, the raw exposed penis, etc. Not to mention the child crying in pain. 🙁 It was not easy to look at.
There's a laundry list of "things" that are lost forever when a circumcision takes place. While all of these things in the list are noteworthy, I thought I would mention a few here that stood out to me:
"When a baby boy's natural and intact penis is "circumcised," this is what is lost forever:
** An estimated 240 feet of microscopic nerves, including branches of the dorsal nerve.
** Several feet of blood vessels, including the frenular artery and branches of the dorsal artery. The loss of this dense vascularity interrupts normal blood flow to the shaft and glans of the penis, obviously damaging its natural function and possibly stunting its complete and healthy development.
** The immunological defense system of the soft mucosa, which may produce antibacterial and antiviral proteins such as lysozyme, also found in mothers milk, and plasma cells, which secrete immunoglobulin antibodies.
** The essential "gliding" mechanism. If unfolded and spread out flat, the average adult foreskin measures about 15 square inches, the size of a postcard. This abundance of specialized, self-lubricating mobile skin gives the natural penis its unique hallmark ability to smoothly "glide" in and out within itself—permitting natural non-abrasive masturbation and intercourse, without drying out the vagina or requiring artificial lubricants." — Gary L. Harryman – What is Lost to Circumcision
I know some parents may be concerned about whether or not an intact penis requires special care. Personally, having no experience with an uncircumcised penis in the past, I had no idea what the answer was before asking friends of mine who's sons were left intact. FYI:
"The natural penis requires no special care. A child's foreskin, like his eyelids, is self-cleansing. For the same reason it is inadvisable to lift the eyelids and wash the eyeballs, it is inadvisable to retract a child's foreskin and wash the glans. Immersion in plain water during the bath is all that is needed to keep the intact penis clean." — Fleiss
Also worth noting that the foreskin should never be forced to retract before it is ready.
"As noted, the foreskin and glans develop as one tissue. Separation will evolve over time. It should not be forced. When will separation occur? Each child is different. Separation may occur before birth; this is rare. It may take a few days, weeks, months, or even years. This is normal. Although many foreskins will retract by age 5, there is no need for concern even after a longer period. Some boys do not attain full retractability of the foreskin until adolescence." — Newborns: Care of the Uncircumcised Penis
Regarding the rate of circumcision in the world and U.S.:
"Circumcision is almost unheard of in Europe, South America, and non-Muslim Asia. In fact, only 10 to 15 percent of men throughout the world are circumcised, the vast majority of whom are Muslim. The neonatal circumcision rate in the western U.S. has now fallen to 34.2 percent." — Fleiss
"The nationwide circumcision rate had been fluctuating in the low 60 percent range for some years, but a decline in the percentage of boys circumcised started in 2002 and continued into 2003. From 2002 to 2003 declines occured in all four census regions. Non-circumcision has been the norm in the Western Region for more than a decade." — U.S. Circumcision Incidence
I think it's important to note that the circumcision rate is dropping in the United States because the old parental concern of not wanting a child to be teased because they look differently from the other boys will no longer be an issue if the ratio of circ'd boys to uncirc'd boys is approaching 50-50. I know in my own circle of friends, the ratio of circ'd boys to uncirc'd boys (babies and toddlers I mean) is probably more like 20 (circ'd) to 80 (uncirc'd) or even slightly higher in favor of the uncircumcised boys. Some parents I know (both in "real life" and on message boards) had their first son circumcised before they had done much research on the topic, and then, after learning more about the procedure, chose not to circumcise their second son.
(And now at the risk of sharing TMI…) Having never been with an uncircumcised man (yes, you can infer from that that Jody is circumcised), I was very interested to learn that not only is the pleasure of the male affected by circumcision, but also the pleasure of the female. (I mentioned a bit about this above as well.)
"One of the foreskin's functions is to facilitate smooth, gentle movement between the mucosal surfaces of the two partners during intercourse. The foreskin enables the penis to slip in and out of the vagina nonabrasively inside its own slick sheath of self-lubricating, movable skin. The female is thus stimulated by moving pressure rather than by friction only, as when the male's foreskin is missing." — Fleiss
Like I said above, I couldn't find a reason to convince me that circumcision is necessary for our son. I don't feel the need to provide a list of all of the reasons against it. They are easy enough to find online. By reading through some of the links I provided below, you can read more information for yourself if you so desire.
I feel it is worth noting that I tried to find some pro-circumcision websites to include in my list (to keep it balanced), but 99% of the information I found "out there" is anti-circumcision. The one site (a members-only list serv "where circumcision is discussed and always supported") I did find turned out to be centered around pornography associated with circumcision so I removed it from my list. The fact that it is a porn site is not apparent from anything posted on the public side of it.
In conclusion, I don't feel that it is my right to make the decision to remove a part of my son's anatomy without his consent. I believe that circumcision is a personal choice – one that should be made by the person who owns the penis. By leaving my son intact, he can always decide when he gets older that he wants to have a circumcision. If I were to circumcise him as a baby, he wouldn't have the option of taking that back. I feel it is his body, his penis, and his choice.

Singleton's Triple-A tear continues
OAKLAND -- The gaudy numbers first-base prospect Jonathan Singleton has been putting up at Triple-A Oklahoma City this season have certainly been noticed by Astros management. He entered Sunday hitting .343 with seven homers, 23 RBIs and a 1.205 OPS.
Singleton, who was named the Pacific Coast League Player of the Week for the first week of the season, hasn't let up. Since winning the award, he is 10-for-27 (.370) in six games with six extra-base hits, including three homers and eight RBIs. His 23 RBIs lead all of the Minors, while his seven homers also lead the PCL and are second overall in the Minors.
"The most important thing is we're excited he's performing the way he is at Triple-A," assistant general manager David Stearns said. "As [general manager] Jeff [Luhnow] has said before, he doesn't have the Triple-A experience a guy like George [Springer] had when we called him up, but he gained it and he'll continue to gain it.
"More than anything, we're just excited and pleased that he's taken to this challenge the way he has. When we sent him down at Spring Training, we told him he was going to let us know when he was ready to come up here by his performance, and so far he's doing an outstanding job. We'd like to give him more time to continue to work on the aspects of his game that we identified with him that needed some improvement. So far he's addressing them."
Singleton has already surpassed his home run total over 73 games with the RedHawks last season, season in which he missed the first 50 games following a second failed drug test. Singleton also leads the league with 14 extra-base hits and 52 total bases, and ranks second with a .776 slugging percentage and 18 runs scored.
"We're certainly not surprised he has gone down there and done this at Triple-A," Stearns said. "Up until last year, he had been a dominant Minor League player at every single level. The fact he's risen to the occasion there isn't surprising. It's exciting for us, and we're looking forward to that continuing."


text: Prolonged starvation, of which the danger and horrors are often mentioned in the OT; it was one of the four acts of God's judgement in Ezekiel (5: 16) and it is one of the curses which God will send on the nation for disobedience (Deut. 28: 48). The best‐known famine in the OT is that in Egypt when Joseph administered the diminishing food supplies (Gen. 41). In the NT there was a famine which hit Jerusalem during the reign of Claudius Caesar (Acts 11: 28), and Paul and Barnabas took aid to the Christians there. The Roman authorities never budgeted on a long‐term basis and famines could strike with terrible devastation. There were no contingency plans. It was no unlikely experience for the reader of Rev. 6: 5–8 to read of the third horseman announcing exorbitant prices for food in time of famine. Yet, claims Paul, even famine will not separate us from the love of Christ (Rom. 8: 35).

Mud and Water
Riding through rivers, streams, lakes, and wetlands is illegal, causes environmental damage, and hurts fish and wildlife. You will, however, encounter puddles or low-water crossings on trails. When you do, follow these guidelines.
- Determine the depth of the water before you cross.
- Keep your feet firmly on the footrests, which may become slippery.
- Drive through the water at a slow, steady speed so that you can spot and avoid submerged obstacles and slippery rocks.
- Stay alert for obstacles above the water.
- Do not drive into water that is deeper than the maximum depth specified in your owner's manual.
- Avoid spinning your wheels, which disrupts streambeds and erodes banks.
- Test your brakes once you're on dry land.
- If you have four-wheel drive, make certain that it's engaged in low gear.

BRUSSELS: Co-chair of The Climate Group's States and Regions Alliance, the Government of the Basque Country, hosted an extended Steering Group meeting in its capital Vitoria-Gasteiz, to plans activities towards and beyond the UN Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro this June.
On the morning of February 15, the experts conference entitled Building a Green Economy: Bringing Theory into Practice, was inaugurated by Pilar Unzalu, Regional Minister for the Environment of The Basque Country, Bernabé Unda, Regional Minister of Industry of the Basque Country and Luc Bas, Director of European Programs and International States and Regions, The Climate Group.
The international attendance included representatives of the Alliance's European members as well as delegates from Quebec, South Australia, KwaZulu-Natal and Rio State. Further participants, including from Ontario, Manitoba and Quintana Roo, joined via phone and video conference.
A main focus of the afternoon Steering Group meeting was the preparation of the activities of The Climate Group's States and Regions Alliance from June 17-19, 2012 around the UN Sustainable Development conference in Rio and in the context of The Climate Group's Clean Revolution Campaign.
The event also featured development of the Alliance's work plan for 2012, including the launch of a number of working groups, amongst others on electro-mobility, energy efficiency financing, marine technologies and involvement of SMEs in the green economy.
During the meeting, the governments of La Reunion and KwaZulu-Natal were welcomed as new members to the Alliance, and the Government of South Australia formally accepted the invitation to co-chair the Alliance alongside the Basque Country and Quebec. The Government of North Rhine Westphalia also officially joined the Steering Group.
The meeting was accompanied by a side program of best practice exchanges around renewable energy, electro-mobility, smart grids and eco-efficiency. Presentations by the Basque Energy Agency, the Basque Ecodesign Center and its partner companies Gamesa and Shuton were complemented by experiences from Brittany (marine energy development), KwaZulu-Natal (climate policy), North Rhine Westphalia (GHG monitoring) and South Australia (promoting climate action through sectoral agreements).
The following day, delegates had the opportunity to visit the Mutriku Wave Energy Plant, Iberdrola's control center and theelectric vehicles car sharing provider IBIL.
Luc Bas, Director of European Programs and International States and Regions, The Climate Group, said: "This was a fruitful meeting, both for the exchange amongst the regions, and for the planning of our work together. After the adoption of the Alliance's governance structure last November, this meeting has set the foundation for the launch of a whole range of new activities for our members, to bring together their knowledge and experiences to jointly move the Clean Revolution forward."

Dr. Drew and crew have found their newest patient.
Former "Party of Five" star Jeremy London, who last month told police a bizarre story of being kidnapped and forced to take drugs, will be the latest celebrity join the cast of Dr. Drew Pinsky's "Celebrity Rehab," a VH1 reality show where d-listers battle their demons in the limelight.
London, 37, will reportedly be paid $40,000 for his stint on the show. This is not his first time he's been to rehab: London was admitted to a clinic in September for an addiction to priscription drugs.
London's tale of being drivenb around Las Vegas and forced to ingest drugs drew widespread skepticism. Even his mother and twin brother questioned his account, and when the two stepped in to help, London unsuccessfully sought a retraining order again them.
After losing custody of their son Lyrik, London and his wife Melissa submitted to random drug testing. In March, London declared that he was sober and on the road to recovery.
The filming of "Celebrity Rebab" was postponed back in June after the series failed to find big enough stars. Lindsay Lohan reportedly turned down big bucks to appear on the series.
Reality TV veteran Tila Tequila and "The Hills" star Jason Wahler are slated to check into Pasadena Recovery Center, where the series is filmed, for the show's fourth season.
Past contestants of the show include, actor Daniel Baldwin, "Grease" star Jeff Conaway, former American Idol finalists Nikki McKibbin and Jessica Sierra, Dennis Rodman, Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler and Country singer Mindy McCready.
