Welcome to Revelations, a multicultural FFXI linkshell that currently focuses on the exciting endgame event "Einherjar" and may eventually expand to endgame events that will likely appear in the new expansion to be released this Thanksgiving. Please take the time to read this document completely and be certain that Revelations is right for you.
This linkshell will only be focusing Einherjar for the time being and is meant to provide a bridge for communicating with our entire alliance during Einherjar events. It will also serve as a social medium for anyone who wishes to remain in the shell during their everyday gaming. The only time members are expected to be actively equipping the linkshell are approximately one hour before a scheduled Einherjar event, and ten minutes afterwards.
Teamwork is Einherjar's greatest weakness. If you take the time to study the Einherjar battle strategy, and do your best to help your teammates, we'll always come out on top.
The rewards of Einherjar are largely unique. You will have the opportunity to obtain previous abjurations as well as ten new abjurations that complete two very unique sets of armor that are exclusive to this event. You can use your accumulated points called "Ampoules of Therion Ichor" to purchase unique rare and exclusive items, synthesis materials for your own Einherjar exclusive abjurations, or you can even purchase the materials for crafting and selling. These materials are extremely rare and require several successful Einherjar runs to obtain, so they will still carry a substantial value if you choose to do Einherjar solely for profit.
The Einherjar reward system can generally govern itself. There is no need nor will there be any internal, centralized banking system for the linkshell. The "points" awarded for each run are done so internally by the game itself and everything in Einherjar is linked to this point system except for the occasional "memoirs" scrolls that may drop from the Einherjar monsters or the nonexclusive abjurations that can be found in other endgame events and act as a supplemental reward to the Einherjar system. In other words, as long as you attend Einherjar events, you will get the things you came for. The system was cleverly designed this way by Square Enix to eliminate the flaws in previous endgame events that can deny people any compensation whatsoever for their hard work.
Most importantly, please have fun!

Hi, I'm Matt… and this is my Trike.
I am on a mission. A mission to see the world, to capture moments, and to have as many amazing experiences as I possibly can. At this very second I am somewhere between my Expatriate home of Ningbo, China and my eventual destination of Los Angeles, California. No flying if I can help it, and checking off 100 countries along the way, I am powering my way thru the world on a recumbent 3 wheeled cycle. I have 6 years from my start date of August 15th 2014, plenty of time to make friends, see all parts of the world, and produce videos about my travels to share with all of you.
If you want to see where I am, I could not have made it easier. I have a really cool map that plots out where I am, what I have seen, where I intend to go, and displays videos I have made in the specific places around the world. Just open the map and click on any point, and you will see stories, videos, pictures and information related to that place.
So join me… and Ja Yoe!
Oh, and for those of you who have no clue what JaYoe means… maybe this short video I made will help you to grasp the idea!
if you are in china, you cannot view these videos. Please CLICK HERE to see this video on YOUKU
The JaYoe Travelogue
The main function of the trip will be promoting travel and the joys of the world thru the lens of my video camera. I created a travelog called "the JaYoe Travelogue" to encompass the video I make along the way. The videos will focus on the people, the places, the cultures and even the drama I encounter on my journey. Below are some of the chapters of the JaYoe Travelogue series, but you can also see them on my Blog.

The 3-month-old baby who inspired a prayer campaign on Twitter has been released from the hospital less than two weeks after surgery to remove a benign brain tumor.
High school notebook: Broken Arrow coach's 3-month old daughter out of hospital, tumor benign
Tatum Dunn, the daughter of Broken Arrow assistant football coach and former Carl Albert player Steve Dunn, was released from Le Bonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis. She and her family were scheduled to return home on Monday, according to a Facebook post by the family.
Tatum Dunn had surgery to remove a brain tumor on Aug. 8. The tumor was desmoplastic infantile astrocytoma, according to the family's Facebook message. It was benign and believed to have been completely removed.
Over the last two weeks, the Twitter movement known by the hashtag #PrayForTatum swept the state and reached several other parts of the country.
Newcastle softball coach Mike Crossley picked up career win No. 800 Friday in the Racers' 4-0 win against Chandler, and he remained in awe Monday about the accomplishment.
"I didn't envision that many wins, but it's been a fun ride," he said. "I love it here at Newcastle, this is where I started and this is probably where I'll finish up."
Crossley, 52, was named the softball and baseball coach at Newcastle in 1988, even winning The Oklahoman's Little All-City Baseball Coach of the Year his first season.
But something has eluded Crossley each year — a state championship. The Racers have finished as state runner-up six times in softball while making the state tournament 21 of his 25 seasons.
"We just can't seem to get that elusive title, but it's been fun," Crossley said.
And Friday was certainly one of those fun days.
"The girls didn't know," he said. "The girls were excited because we won the game and then my wife came down and told the girls about it. So they were excited and the fans were excited.
"It was a great night. The girls are real proud they got to be a part of it."
Harrah basketball player Collin Jennings verbally committed to the University of Missouri-Kansas City, his father confirmed to The Oklahoman on Monday.

|The Game Story:
|Stockton 7, Catholic University 6
Matt Bell
The Stockton lacrosse team opened up a four-goal lead in the fourth quarter and held off Catholic University 7-6 for its first victory of the season. Matt Bell (Jackson/Jackson) led the Ospreys with two goals and one assist while Jonathan Kelly (Howell/Howell) and Steve Mazurek (Jackson/ Jackson) netted two goals apiece. Stockton goalie Pete Marcelliano (Morristown/West Morris Mendham) notched 15 saves for the win.
Bell scored two goals in the first half and Kelly added one to stake Stockton to a 3-1 lead at the break. In the third quarter, Catholic sandwiched two goals around a marker by Mazurek but the Ospreys still held a one-goal lead, 4-3, after three periods.
Mazurek, Kelly and Alec Chisholm (Jackson/Jackson) scored three consecutive Stockton goals to give the Ospreys a 7-3 lead midway through the fourth quarter. Catholic responded with three goals in a two-minute span to pull within 7-6, but the Stockton defense protected the lead and the Ospreys prevailed by one, 7-6.

The Environmental Scientists
A Team Effort
Rosanna Cappellato
Assistant Professor, Biology
Chair, Environmental Studies/Environmental Sciences
Program Committee
Environmental Studies and Environmental Sciences are new additions to the Rhodes curriculum. Can you discuss their evolution?
Students really fought for these programs. Lee Bryant '11 was the first student to major in Environmental Studies. This was before the program had been established, and she designed her own major, combining Environmental Studies and Theatre. Lee's experience told us two very important things: First, there's very strong interest in this area; second, the structure already existed within the college to offer an Environmental major.
We also have very dedicated professors. It's not only the classic science departments, but also those like History, International Studies, Anthropology, Religious Studies and English that are involved. All of these pieces within the college, professors and students with this common interest and commitment, made the creation of the program possible.
How do you see Environmental Studies and Environmental Sciences developing in the future?
I think the students are really interested, and so far the college has been very supportive. Moving forward, I would like to see more faculty join the Environmental Sciences part of the program. At the moment we're slightly stronger on the Environmental Studies side, and in the future I hope to further expand the Sciences and offer even greater variety in this area.
What kinds of opportunities are available to students who major in Environmental Studies or Environmental Sciences?
There are several professors—including Jennifer Sciubba in International Studies, Tait Keller in History and myself—who all do research with the students. There are also opportunities for credited internships in Memphis with organizations such as the Shelby Farms Park Conservancy, Nature Conservancy, Livable Memphis and Bridges USA. I believe this is one of the strengths of the program. By working with local institutions, we can rely on and create ties with the community around us.
What is the most satisfying aspect of teaching at Rhodes?
There's a very high quality of students here. They aren't in school just to get a degree. They are here because they are involved, both professionally and personally. There's interest, engagement and passion on their part. As a mentor you partner with students and establish a dialogue with them, and the students themselves contribute ideas as you work together. You see them growing and learning. The commitment and the seriousness of the students here make working at Rhodes as a professor very special.
A Liberal Arts Job
Cary Fowler '71
Executive Director, The Global Crop Diversity Trust
Rome, Italy
Please discuss your current work with the Global Crop Diversity Trust. What are your responsibilities as executive director?
The Trust is an international organization housed within the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome. We hope to ensure the permanent conservation of the biological foundation of agriculture, a goal I've always believed we would achieve by carrying out our work with vision and integrity. As executive director I have overall responsibility for all aspects of the organization.
I am not a laboratory scientist by any stretch of the imagination, but I am engaged in conceptualizing and designing a global system for conserving crop diversity, knitting together hundreds of seed banks around the world. This involves elements of Biology, Genetics, Ecology and these days, even Climate Science. And it requires that I have some understanding of institutions, as well as international and intellectual property law. All of these areas are essential to constructing a global system that is composed both of genes and of countries, institutions and people—and is functional and sustainable.
What attracted you to Rhodes?
I applied to two colleges and Rhodes was the better of the two! I also valued its size and that it was a liberal arts college. Finally, it was in my hometown and my father and aunt had both graduated from Rhodes, so in a sense I grew up with the college in my consciousness.
Did your major studies prepare you for your career?
I had a bridge major that combined Political Science and Psychology—my way of trying to major in Sociology in the absence of a Sociology Department. I certainly didn't have a career planned out when I left college, but Rhodes gave me what I needed to succeed professionally: exposure to many academic disciplines, critical analytical skills and the confidence to look beyond artificial disciplinary boundaries. Although my work is situated in the biological sciences, my job requires not just knowledge of agriculture, biology and genetics, but also an understanding of politics and institutions. In other words, it's a "liberal arts job."
Rhodes gives students the chance to build a foundation for their careers, as well as for the interests and values that help people lead fulfilling lives. I don't know of many important problems in the world today that can be addressed competently within a single academic discipline, and this is why I think exposure to and appreciation of multiple disciplines is so important in college. I left Rhodes with a high level of comfort in applying interdisciplinary approaches to my work. For me, this has made all the difference, and it largely explains my professional success.
Charting the Waters
Christopher Wilson '95
Research Scientist, Hydroscience & Engineering
The University of Iowa
Please discuss your research at the University of Iowa.
I am a research scientist in IIHR—Hydroscience & Engineering at the University of Iowa, one of the nation's oldest and premier environmental hydraulics research laboratories. I am part of a larger team working on many studies related to the movement of water, sediment and attached nutrients through watersheds. One of my current projects includes examining the temporal and spatial variability of sediment movement using stable and radioisotopic tracers through agricultural watersheds. We are looking at how erosion and deposition of soils and sediments vary in different places and at different times. By identifying where the sediment is coming from and when it is moving, we will better be able to target our remedial actions, thereby helping both the farmers and the communities downstream.
What led you to this line of work?
I graduated from Rhodes with a B.S. in Biology, focusing along the Ecology track, but I also minored in Earth Systems Science and English. It was at Rhodes where my love of water fully developed. Growing up in Cleveland, OH, we had the dubious distinction of having our river catch on fire. Our burning river was what led to Earth Day, and this—coupled with many a long weekend enjoying the Mississippi River at Rhodes—fueled my passion for water and started me on my career path.
Where do you see the field of Environmental Science moving?
These days the sciences are becoming more interdisciplinary, and projects tend to have a bigger scope. Additionally, studies must address the broader impacts of their research, including how to be transformative to multiple areas. Universities are finally catching up with this thought by developing clusters of faculty and researchers around specific topics rather than departments. For example, here at Iowa we have a cluster on water sustainability.
How has your experience at Rhodes contributed to your career?
With Environmental Studies, I feel it is very important to grasp the "big picture." Many of the driving forces behind environmental issues, like degrading soil and water quality, result from a series of interactions and feedbacks between different properties and processes. To help develop this big picture, scientists must have a breadth of knowledge.
A key characteristic of a liberal arts education is the range of the course load. Students are exposed to courses from both the sciences and humanities under the assumption that common links can be drawn between the different disciplines. Knowledge, regardless of the topic, can offer unique perspectives on addressing problems and identifying trends. My time at Rhodes, where I focused in Ecology, Earth Systems Science and English, rounded me as a researcher and a person. I can draw from these experiences to help address key questions in my teaching and research.
Thinking Outside the Box
Alix Matthews '14
Why did you choose to attend Rhodes?
Ever since I was a baby, I'd visited Memphis on the weekends with my mom. Once I became acquainted with the city, I fell in love with it. When I came to Rhodes for the first time, it was the variety of trees that initially caught my eye—which makes sense now that I know the college is a registered arboretum. I had also heard that the Rhodes science departments were superior, so that's what really sold me.
Can you describe a typical semester?
Environmental Sciences is an interdisciplinary major, so I'm able to take interesting classes in departments that I would not normally be involved in, like History, Art and English. I usually sign up for one or two science classes and the rest humanities, to keep things balanced. I also try to take a "random" course that is unrelated to anything else I'm studying, so I will always be learning something new.
What was your study abroad experience in Namibia like? Has it complemented your learning at Rhodes?
The Namibia Maymester has motivated me to study a greater variety of environmental issues. Environmental Science is more than "going green;" it's social, political, economic, natural and, in some cases, religious. The trip to Namibia opened my eyes to a whole new realm of the environment in which we as humans live. Many great problems lie in the clash between the environment and the economy, and it's difficult to find the middle ground where environmental sustainability meets economic sensibility. Eventually, this is where I want my studies to go–Environmental Economics.
Which of your faculty mentors have been most influential to you?
In Biology, Professor Michael Collins challenges me within the classroom and beyond it, and he encourages me to think outside the box, both in terms of course work and life choices. Dr. Cappellato has taught me what it means to be passionate. She pushes me to think critically about what I learn and to ask the tough questions.
Do you think your major is equipping you well for future pursuits?
Eventually, I would like to go to graduate school and get a doctorate in some "–ology" related to my interests in the natural sciences. I'm not sure which, because I feel there's still so much left for me to learn! Regardless, I know my major is preparing me well for whatever I choose to accomplish after graduation. Every day I'm reminded of how incredibly relative the things I'm learning in the classroom are to the world outside of Rhodes.

Celebrity sightings in Connecticut! Mohegan Sun's newest, and hippest eatery, Ballo Italian Restaurant & Social Club, hosted a few big names last night that were on hand to celebrate the casino's 15th anniversary.
Food Network star and owner of Bar Americain at the casino, Bobby Flay, stopped by Ballo to sample some of the menu. Chef Flay sipped on an aperol spritz cocktail and snacked on a sausage pizza. Later, he sampled the chicken parmagiana, linguine with clams, those delicious pork meatballs, and spaghetti pomodoro.
As if one celebrity wasn't enough, around 11 p.m., Susan Lucci and Regis Philbin, with eight guests in tow, had dinner in one of Ballo's private dining areas. Philbin enjoyed a cosmopolitan and Lucci a Perrier Jouet. For dinner they enjoyed an antipasto appetizer with fresh proscuitto de parma.
Ballo is sure to have many more celeb sightings, and who knows, you might be lucky enough to run into one of your favorite stars. If you're in Norwalk with nothing going on for the evening, it's time to get up and party! Make the mini roadtrip to celebrate at Mohegan Sun and be sure to have dinner at Ballo while you're there.

RallyCross was Travis Pastrana's only event at X Games 18, but after taking an early lead in his qualifying he was shunted into a concrete wall at the first corner by Andy Scott, a driver from Scotland. Without arguably his biggest rival on the grid for the finals, Sebastien Loeb, the eight-time World Rally Champion, cruised to an easy victory.
"It's great to have Seb here," said Ford's Ken Block, who earned silver Sunday and has seen Loeb's dominance in the WRC firsthand. "But I knew him coming here meant one thing: that he'd be near the top of the podium, which is the way it is."
Although Pastrana was unhurt, the impact wrecked his Dodge Dart. "What the hell was that, dude?" he shouted, while still at the wheel of his totalled car. "We've got the fastest car on the track, and the first turn of the first race? You've got to be kidding me!"
With no spare car available due to the competition rules, Pastrana had no choice but to sit out the final and miss out on racing Loeb after he had invited the rally legend to visit the U.S. for the first time.
"This is our big event, and to have someone take it from me is devastating," said Pastrana, "When you brake at the point where everyone has braked all day for the corner and someone decides to come in and not brake -- that's a devastating way to end what could've been a fantastic week for the team."
Loeb's other friendly rival, Marcus Grönholm, was also out; a heavy crash left the Finn concussed. And the way was clear for Loeb to dominate the X Games RallyCross final, which he did in his usual style: winning by a country mile.
In the final, Loeb took an immediate lead, drove six flawless laps and crossed the line in the custom-made Citroen DS3 XL a full 12 seconds clear of Block, with last year's winner Brian Deegan a further 0.42 seconds further back.
While delighted with the win, Loeb's thoughts were with Grönholm, his old sparring partner from WRC.
"We know it's a high level event and I'm really pleased to win," Loeb said, "but maybe my main rival, Marcus Grönholm, wasn't able to race. I'm just happy he's okay."

Australian teens hospitalised with burns after 'jump through fire' bike stunt goes wrong (+ video)
Pair were taking part in 55th anniversary show of Findon Skid Kids near Adelaide
Previous News
Next News
Two teenage boys in Australia have been treated in hospital for second-degree burns after a 'jump through fire' stunt they performed near Adelaide went wrong at the weekend.
Trent Forester and Shane Bentley, both aged 15, were taking part in the 55th birthday celebrations of Findon Skid Kids, which is part of Findon Cycle Speedway Club.
Neither had previously attempted the stunt, which saw them ride through a wall of cardboard that had been set on fire and was supposed to have been cut in such a way that it broke on impact.
The flames were stamped out with blankets by attendants, and the pair were treated by St John Ambulance paramedics at the scene before being taken to hospital.
Some reports say that a teenage girl who took part in the stunt also received burns, although she does not appeatr to have been taken to hospital.
"Heading into it was fine, I was feeling good," Shane told ABC News.
"I didn't think it was going to be that bad. It was just when I got through on the other side and I collected the cardboard was when it was getting hot.
"We went a little bit early, so the cardboard didn't burn properly and there's supposed to be a slit down the middle of the cardboard so it just opens, but that didn't happen so I just took the cardboard with me and that's what burned me," he added.
Neither Trent nor Shane plan to attempt the stunt again.
The teens were both wearing basic protective clothing, and Findon Skid Kids president Mick Harley said that the problem was that the stunt had not been set up correctly.
"We've been doing the fire jump for 55 years and every so often, somebody might get some burns," he told Adelaide Now.
"The cardboard is normally in two sheets joined at the middle so it breaks when they hit it. They used cardboard that was a full sheet so it wasn't cut.
"On this particular occasion they took the cardboard with them and that's how they got burnt.
"They are pretty well protected. It's just in this instance they took the fire with them and the heat has got to them.
"We will be doing it [the fire jump] again in the future," he insisted.
"What we will be doing in the future is making sure (the cardboard) has the split down the centre and making sure it's done correctly."
Sorry for the kids involved, but it does sem like a dat sort of stunt to pull. Anyone doing that here would probably have some awkward questions to answer about training and use of young riders. Just because they have been doing it for 55 years does not mean it is right, and the organiser is quoted as saying that burns have happened before. Surprise....!

Dave (Witness) at 0:43 is exactly the sort of authority you want reassuring the public. I'm sure he's come straight from retrieving another six pack from the cooler to give his PR statement. Most reassuring, especially since he didn't want to give his surname.
Oh well, hope the kids aren't hurt too bad. Too many more stunts like that and you remove yourself from the gene pool.

I love how casual the supervising "adult" is about the accident. He seems to feel that a child getting 2nd degree burns every now and then is a cost of doing business when you're jumping through fire hoops.
Even if the stunt is the great idea that he purports it to be, doesn't it seem that properly prepping the cardboard is of paramount importance, rather than merely an "oops, we forgot to cut the slits in the flaming cardboard and some children faced potentially life-altering injuries."
What an ass hat.

Findon Skid Kids have been doing this stunt for years, and it occasionally goes wrong, like this. I grew up in Adelaide and stories about Skid Kids getting burnt were an occasional occurrence of my childhood.
It's good to get children outside doing something active, rather than sitting on their couch playing video games. And when things go wrong, as they occasionally do, it's nice to see that the parents aren't immediately suing the organisers.

Rod Gangwish has negotiated terms of trade agreements and farm bills and was president of the National Corn Growers Association.
Yet an announcement in a University of Nebraska Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources press release left the Shelton farmer nearly speechless.
Gangwish is a 2004 Nebraska Hall of Agricultural Achievement honoree.
He has farmed corn, soybeans and alfalfa near Shelton for 30 years. He has attended annual meetings of the Hall of Achievement since being selected as a member in 2002. At the meetings, he mingled with farmers who he considered legends. He never thought he would be brought up in the same breath with those farmers.
But based on his years as a leader in the ag community and the Kearney Area Agricultural Alliance, the officials at the ag and natural resources institute felt Gangwish was a good fit.

County teams get work in at Anderson County Jamboree
Palmetto and T.L. Hanna both got the game experience they needed heading into their Week 0 matchups next week with a thrilling opener to the Anderson County Jamboree on Friday.
After having success with its trademark running game, the Mustangs forced a late fumble to preserve a 13-10 victory over the Yellow Jackets at Westside Stadium.
"We're a little banged up but other than that we played real well," Palmetto coach Jody LeCroy said. "We came off the ball offensively and made some stops defensively when we needed to."
First-year Hanna starting quarterback Dom Catalfomo rebounded from a shaky start to lead his team down the field in the final minutes.
The senior connected on a long pass to Landon Simcoe which would have landed the Jackets, who open with North Augusta next week, at Palmetto's five-yard line, but Simcoe couldn't hold onto the ball as he was fighting for extra yardage.
"I liked his command of the huddle. This is the first time it's ever been his team," Hanna coach Kenya Fouch said of Catalfomo. "The quarterback position is the hardest to play, but he stepped up and missed some throws early but he'll make them next time. But I was pleased with his command of the team, his progressions, what he was able to call at the line."
Kenngie Burts, who led the Mustangs in rushing last season, started the fireworks early at the jamboree with an 85-yard return of the opening kickoff. Zagarion Brown followed with a touchdown plunge.
Hanna answered with a 34-yard Jon-Michael Kubu field goal and a Tre Edwards over-the-shoulder touchdown grab.
Burts scored on a toss to put the Mustangs up for good with three minutes to play.
Palmetto quarterback Janike Mangle, a Belton-Honea Path transfer, left the game with what LeCroy called a deep thigh bruise, leaving the position battle with him and senior Corey Crews up in the air heading into next week's game with Dixie.
"We'll leave that unsaid," LeCroy said when asked who will start on Aug. 17.
B-HP 20, Crescent 6
Belton-Honea Path marched down the field on the opening drive and never looked back in a dominating performance against Crescent.
Backup quarterback Dylan Spence completed both of his passes during the 79-yard drive that was capped by a Will Boggs score.
The Bears held the Tigers new Veer option attack to 60 yards on 23 carries during the half.
Isiah Withers and Korey Thompson both ran in scores for B-HP with the latter following a Kijafa Martin punt block.
After a Spence fumble deep in Bear territory, Josh House found the endzone for Crescent off a 2-yard scamper.
Wren 14, Pendleton 7
Wren quarterback Jacob Clary went 7-for-12 for 130 yards and a touchdown and the Golden Hurricanes produced a goal-line stand in the final minute of a win over Pendleton.
Clary opened the exhibition with a 64-yard touchdown pass to Adrian Rogers.
Bulldogs running back Jalen Dixon scored on the first play of the second quarter before Wren answered with a five-play, 55-yard scoring drive.
Pendleton passed for an uncharacteristically-high 82 yards, including an Alex Haynes reception that brought the offense inside the 'Canes' 10. Colin Brady's pass fell incomplete on fourth down with 16 seconds left.
Westside 7, Powdersville 0
JoJo Campbell found the end zone with 3:44 left to lead Westside to a victory over first-year varsity program Powdersville.

Form of... pure love: 35
This is one of DS9's best imo. It's unusual in that a lot of DS9's finest hours go against the grain of Trek's main themes of embracing difference, cooperation between species, and a sort of optimistic vision of humanity's ability to overcome prejudice, and so on.
This episode, on the other hand, is 100% Trek in that regard, but it does it in a way that is very simple, understated, and ultimately more profound than Trek usually is when it tries to do this type of thing.
It also manages to do it via what is basically a love story, something Trek is historically bad at.
If I were Echevarria, I think I would be very proud of it.
It also has a lasting impact on the rest of the season because the emotional depth established here for Kira and Odo provides some of the strongest material in the final arc (much better than the Ezri/Worf/Bashir hijinks).

Total thymocytes from 4–6 weeks old mice were pre-labeled with CSFE, and then cultured with or without TSLP (100 ng/ml) for two days. Thymocytes were analyzed for CD4, CD8, CD25 and CFSE by FACS. Relative CFSE levels on CD25- and CD25+ SP thymocytes (CD4+ SP and CD8+ SP) were measured. No significant proliferation was detected in these thymocytes under the culture conditions. B. TSLP does not affect apoptosis of thymocytes. Total adult thymocytes were cultured with or without TSLP for 2 days.

Els to star in Qatar Masters
BY iseekgolf.com | European PGA Tour | 2005 Qatar Masters | General | 21 Jan 2005
South African star Ernie Els, the smooth-swinging world number three, will be the top attraction at this year's Qatar Masters at Doha Golf Club from March 10-13.
The "Big Easy" will make his maiden appearance in Qatar and his presence will complement an already strong field led by last year's winner Joakim Haeggman. Els, who has won the European Tour Order of Merit for the past two seasons, is an undisputed golfing superstar, having won over 50 tournaments around the world since turning professional in 1989.
His victories include 11 US PGA Tour Events, 16 European Tour Events, the US Open Championship twice (1994 and 1997) and the British Open in 2002.
Last year, Els won five tournaments, three on the US PGA Tour, one in Australia and a record sixth win in the HSBC World Match Play Championship at Wentworth in October. But it could so easily have been more, with second place finishes in both the US Masters and the British Open where Els lost in a play-off to American Todd Hamilton.
In confirming his entry to the 2005 Qatar Masters, Els said: "While I have never played previously in Qatar, I have heard very good things about the Doha Golf Club and I am really looking forward to playing there and meeting Qatar Golf Association president Hasan al-Nuaimi and everyone else who have done so much to develop this tournament."
Els will be the highest-ranked player in the world to have ever played in Qatar. He will fly in from Dubai after taking part in the Dubai Desert Classic, which precedes the Qatar Masters.
The Qatar Masters, which was a part of the European Tour, will be co-sanctioned for the first time by the Asian Tour and several of the region's top stars, including reigning Asian Tour number one Thongchai Jaidee, will be competing.
QGA chief al-Nuaimi was pleased to welcome Els, who finished runner-up in the recent Sony Open in Hawaii, to the event. "Ernie is one of the best players ever and his participation in the Qatar Masters is a positive sign for the tournament.
"He was keen to play in Doha and his participation will boost the event's standing," said al-Nuaimi.
The QGA's marketing chief Abdullah al-Kuwari said it would be wrong to label the Qatar Masters as just a sporting event.
"The tournament is also important from the point of view of tourism that will boost the economy of the country and make it one of the most attractive golfing destinations," said al-Kuwari.

How-To Get Fun Yet Sophisticated Nails for Fall
Last week I found myself standing at the Estee Lauder counter at our local Macy's. As I waited my turn I was drawn to the new nail colors they had displayed on the sales counter. I particularly loved the deep purple color but I couldn't imagine myself wearing such a deep rich, non-traditional color over my whole nails. Well imagine my surprise when Estee Lauder sent me an email yesterday with this great technique that uses those very same colors! I still don't know that I would ever wear green, to me it makes me think moldy, but I can imagine using the pretty neutral gold with the deep purple I love! They even supplied the video below!

So how do I keep my cilantro fresh and ready to use for my salsa recipes?

How to Skip a Car Payment the Smart Way
As the holiday season gets closer, money gets tighter for a lot of folks. It's not uncommon for people to get a little bit behind on their bills, and find themselves facing a January that's not too pleasant. (This is something to consider when you're looking at a new vehicle and plugging numbers into that car payment calculator, by the way.) Unfortunately, while you might be able to financially get back on track by March or April, the fact of the matter is that holiday season indiscretions can really hurt your credit score.
The good news is that you may be able to find a way to squeeze a little bit more money out of the holiday season by skipping a car payment. Understand, however, that you need to go about it the smart way, otherwise it will be just another late payment that's dragging down your credit score. Here are some ways to get started exploring this unique solution:
- Take advantage of an existing program from your lender. Many lenders, especially local credit unions, may offer a payment holiday during the month of December. If it's available to you and you need it, take advantage of it. Just realize you're going to be putting your loan out that much farther, of course.
- Talk to your bank about missing a payment. In some cases, banks have a policy in place that would forgive you a single payment if you ask. Usually these are available only if your accounts with that bank are in good standing. The bottom line with this one is that you'll never know if you don't ask.
- Take a seasonal job. OK, this won't let you skip a payment, but it will help you to make the payment. There are many retailers that need extra help during the holidays, and if you can work a couple of hours a night for a few weeks, you'll find that the car payment will be paid. You might even have a few bucks left over to put a little something extra in your stocking this year.

Blog posts mentioning Princess Diana

The BBC's 2006 inquest report, with many links to past Diana stories

Background from the Royal Family's official site
Princess Diana Biography
Lady Diana Frances Spencer was just 20 when she married Prince Charles, heir to the throne of Britain, on 29 July 1981. Her beauty and youthful charisma quickly earned Diana the nickname of "the people's princess." She and Charles had two sons, William (b. 1982) and Harry (b. 1984). However, the marriage was troubled almost from the start, and its breakdown was daily fodder for tabloids during the 1990s. Diana and Charles were divorced in 1996 and Diana devoted her life to her two sons and to worldwide charities. She and her boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, were killed in 1997 in a high-speed car crash while being followed by paparazzi in Paris, France. A French investigation showed that their driver, Henri Paul, was intoxicated. There followed years of allegations, led in part by Fayed's father Mohamed Al Fayed, that the pair had been victims of a conspiracy. A three-year British investigation concluded in 2006 that "there was no conspiracy to murder any occupants of that car. This was a tragic accident." Her grandson via William, Prince George of Cambridge, was born in 2013 and became third in line to the British throne.
Extra credit:
The British investigation also dismissed claims that Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed were engaged to be married, and that Diana was pregnant... Mohamed Al Fayed owns the department store Harrods... A memorial concert for Diana, arranged by her sons, was held on July 2007 in London's Wembley Stadium. The date would have been Diana's 46th birthday... According to the web site of the Royal family, "The Princess was the first Englishwoman to marry an heir to the throne for 300 years (when Lady Anne Hyde married the future James II from whom the Princess was descended)"... Diana's nicknames included Lady Di, the People's Princess, and the Queen of People's Hearts... At Diana's funeral Sir Elton John sang "Goodbye England's Rose," a reworking of the tune "Candle In the Wind" which he had written earlier about Marilyn Monroe.

So, to say I love my athletes is an understatement!
We form a huge bond: me, my runners, my CrossFitters…my team.
Because doing CrossFit and CrossFit Endurance WODs…well, they are humbling. It is, to me, the purest example of humanity. We are stripped bare of ego, expectation, and bravado. What we have left is grit, tenacity, and humbleness for our fellow teammates, for the workout, and for the sport of fitness itself.
One of my athletes, Patrick, just started taking my classes not too long ago and had run a 10K. I said, 'ok, what's next? A half marathon?' And the response was, 'What?! No way.' But, then the seed was planted. Four weeks later, he was running the Brooklyn Half Marathon .. which was this past Saturday.
Here are his thots and his rock star picture post race! To say that I am proud of him for doing something he thought was impossible is an understatement. He, like many of my athletes, are re-defining the possible. They are showing themselves what is possible. If they can do that each and every day..well, that is a winning formula for life!
So, meet Patrick. Be inspired, and watch what happens in your own life!
"After multiple fractures in my left leg from a skiing accident 2 years ago, my physical therapist suggested I train for something like a 5k as part of my recovery. My first race I clocked about 32 minutes. I kept running 5 & 10ks and was slowly but surely improving. It was when I joined CrossFitNYC that I really started to see big, fast improvements. After my 47min 10k four weeks ago, Heidi convinced me to enter the Brooklyn Half Marathon. I thought she was crazy, but I did it. I did three Endurance classes and one WOD each week for three weeks and only ran a 7 and 10 mile distance run before the Half. My personal goal was 2 hours. I did it in 1:52. CrossFitNYC's Koolaid is delicious and addictive!"

Berry Tramel: LeBron James is a better all-around player than Michael Jordan
On whether or not Penn State will take down the statue of Joe Paterno:
Penn State has two options.
1. Take down the statue in a complete admission that the university lost its mind over a man.
2. Leave it up as a shameful symbol of the past. I assume Penn State will go for option 1.
Heck, they could auction it off to some of the crazies. Help pay for the lawsuits.
On whether or not Wes Lunt will make it through the whole season as OSU's starting QB:
Health-wise? Probably. OSU's offense is set up so that the QB gets rid of the ball pretty quickly. Tech QBs almost always stayed healthy under Leach. Same at OSU. If you're talking about performance, I don't know. I mean, I've seen the kid play once in his life. Spring game. I like what I saw.

AARP finally begins to weigh in on the Social Security Disability Crisis
I've blogged many many pages about the problems that exist in the social security disability and SSI disability system. And that, of course, includes writing about disability backlogs, inadequate funding for the social security administration, and the very dire manpower situation that exists within SSA.
Regarding the manpower situation, I should say that I am in a unique position as compared to other individuals who write about the disability system. I am a former disability examiner, meaning that I used to work on disability claims (gathering medical evidence, reviewing evidence, and, in consultation with medical and psychological experts, rendering decisions on disability claims). My wife is also a former examiner. However, she is also a current field office claims rep. And that gives me a closer, and more personal, look into the world of social security offices and the staffing problems they have.
As such, I've written many times about A. how understaffed social security offices are, B. how overworked social security employees are, C. the number of individuals who are, and will be, eligible to retire, and D. how the social security administration is in the middle of a human resource meltdown, in addition to all of its other problems.
I've often thought that putting the social security disability (and SSI) jalopy on the road to improvement would not happen until the third rail itself was seen to be in danger. That third rail is social security retirement and it includes the processing and maintenance of social security retirement claims, which, at some point, cannot be totally unaffected by a withering SSA workforce.
Recently, AARP has begun to focus on the quagmire that is social security field operations as the following article demonstrates. Hopefully, this actually means something.
