Memorial of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, religious
Matthew 4:12-17, 23-25
When Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew to Galilee. He left Nazareth and went to live in Capernaum by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali, that what had been said through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled: "Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death light has arisen." From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." He went around all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness among the people. His fame spread to all of Syria, and they brought to him all who were sick with various diseases and racked with pain, those who were possessed, lunatics, and paralytics, and he cured them. And great crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.
Introductory Prayer: Lord I wish to encounter you in this prayer as if it were the first time you ever crossed my path. Let me break from all routine and distraction. May I find you in this encounter in such a way that I will be transformed by what I see and hear.
Petition: Lord grant me an experiential knowledge of your divinity and a deeper love for you because of it.
1. He Withdrew to Galilee
Christ chose to live as a pilgrim who had no home among the men of this world. He did not rely on the world for strength, consolation, or effectiveness in his mission. As the prophet Isaiah foretold of him, "like a root in arid ground he grew up before us." Every person who wishes to persevere in the path of salvation will have to choose between letting the stimuli of the world move you along or radically abandoning it for the hidden and divine sources of life the world cannot provide. Every day, whether consciously or not, a mold is cast — forged by grace and prayer or by worldly satisfactions and gains. Holy ideals and a noble mission may be in one's heart, but he who does not will the means to a supernatural life of grace, will not achieve that end. A Christian who fragments his spirit with the mundane, and is unwilling to separate himself from the world like Christ did, is truly a Christian at risk.
2. People Sitting in Darkness Have Seen a Great Light
Whenever the light dawns, the contrast to darkness is felt, whenever grace emerges in the midst of evil, it all the more abounds, and wherever holiness is truly authentic, a real apostle must usher forth. A lack of vocations to the priesthood or a lack of laypeople involved in the Church's works of evangelization can only happen because its proper cause – living the life of Christ – is lacking. Christ is the light of the world, the primary cause of all the Church's fruitfulness. Without his living presence in a person's life, neither is the sense of mission felt nor does a vocation come forth. Can I say I have a living relationship with Christ? Does this relationship manifest itself in my sense of mission?
3. Repent, the Kingdom of God Is at Hand
These words on the lips of John the Baptist spoke of an event to come. On the lips of Christ, they speak no longer of that imminent coming, but of the event itself consummated in the hearing of God's word. Dabar, the Hebrew verb that refers to God revealing himself, means more than a mere giving of divine information. When God speaks, power flows. His word makes effective what is revealed. The Light has come into the world and not merely to get men to know right from wrong and to admit faults. Rather, grace and power flow into weak yet open hearts, so that a whole new direction in life may be taken and a whole new foundation may be laid. In Christ, the Kingdom is not only on the way, but has arrived; the time of wait is over. The Kingdom is now – in our sacramental life, in our prayer, in the apostolate. Wherever Christ is preached with authenticity, divine word and power are united. May my heart receive this power with an attitude of promptness. Now is the time for Christ! Now is the time for an active conversion of life!
Dialogue with Christ: Lord you are infinite power and mercy among men. The divine touches earth with every move you make to heal and guide, to build and tear down, to inspire and make new. I confide in you this day to change my world for the better, and I promise to let you find no obstacle in me to your grace.
Resolution: I will exercise a greater confidence in God today in the face of any hardship or disappointment, and promptly respond to his graces.

Increasing energy demand is set to put pressure on
the world's water resources over the coming decades, according to a
number of new expert studies. Even if the world shifts away from
fossil fuels and toward cleaner power supplies, growing demand
could help put water supplies under severe strain by the middle of
the century.
From cooling down power plants and extracting,
transporting and processing fuels to growing crops used as
biofuels, energy production relies on water. Altogether, the sector
accounts for 15 per cent of water withdrawals around the world,
according to the
International Energy Agency (IEA). Only
agriculture is more water-hungry.
Yet demand is going up - just as growing populations
and climate change put the world water supplies under
even more pressure. Working out where
water supplies for energy will come from in future is one of the
"great challenges of our generation," the
World Resources Institute says.
Changing threats to water
Water resources are already stretched. Groundwater
extraction has
tripled in the last 50 years in
response to rising demand. Some underwater stores are now reaching
"critically low levels", according to the latest edition of the
UN World Water Development Report, released in March.
The pressure's likely to intensify. Agriculture
already accounts for 70 per cent of freshwater use around the
world, and it's going to need at least another fifth again by the
middle of the century, the UN says.
That's not all. According to the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)'s review of the future impacts of climate change, rising
temperatures are going to increase the struggle for freshwater
resources over the next few decades - exacerbating competition for
water "among agriculture, ecosystems,
settlements, industry and energy production" in already vulnerable
Water demand from the energy
Into this mix, we have to add the energy sector's
need for water. Some 580 billion cubic metres of freshwater are
withdrawn for generating energy every year - a scale of use the
IEA calls "tremendous".
The vast majority of this water use is for cooling
down fossil fuel power plants. Coal, natural gas and oil - which
together account for 80 per cent of global energy generation -
create vast quantities of waste heat when burnt. The water is
needed to carry the heat away and keep the power stations
Water also generates energy directly in hydroelectric
power stations, which provide about
15 per cent of the world's
Energy and water are "highly interconnected", the
UN says - people use energy for water
and water for energy. In wealthier countries, significant amounts
of energy is used to clean water supplies up and transport water to
The diagram below illustrates some of these
Source: United Nations world water report, March
Water use and water stress
World primary energy demand will increase by 36 per
cent between 2008 and 2035, the UN
The vast majority of this increase is likely to take
place in regions that are already under water stress. Poorer
countries outside the OECD are expected will account for 93 per
cent of the increase over the next thirty years, with China
accounting for 36 per cent of it, according to its report. These
regions are more likely to be already suffering from water
In a recent article, the
World Resources Institute (WRI) mapped
the world's top coal producing and consuming countries against
countries suffering from water limitations. As the table below
shows, more than half of them already face high or extremely high
levels of water stress:
Source: Identifying the global coal industry's water
risks, World Resources Institute, April 2014.
Regional disparities matter too. China alone accounts
for more than half of planet's coal consumption - and it has plans
to expand. As of July 2012, the Chinese government had another 363
coal-fired power plants planned - an almost 75 per cent increase on
its current levels, the WRI says. Half of these are in areas
already suffering from high or extremely high levels of water
New energy technologies
Plans to generate energy in new ways aren't
necessarily going to help matters. Extracting so-called
unconventional sources of energy like shale gas and
tight oil tends to use more water than
conventional sources, the
UN says, because water is injected at
high pressure into rock.
Attempts to reduce emissions could also increase the
energy sector's need for water. Carbon capture and storage plants -
which capture emissions from fossil fuels and store them
underground - use about 25 per cent more water than conventional
power plants, according to University of Sydney
research. That's because water is
needed both to cool the solvents used to capture emissions and in
the conventional power generation process.
Expanding the amount of power the world gets from
bioenergy - crops, plants or trees - will also increase water
demand. Crops need water in order to grow and to be converted into
fuel - making the whole process highly
water intensive.
More water consumption
In assessing water use, it's important to distinguish
between water withdrawal and water consumption. Withdrawal refers
to taking water from a source and then returning it later.
Meanwhile, consumption happens when water evaporates or is
incorporated into other products - so it doesn't return to its
At the moment, the energy sector tends to withdraw
water - to cool power stations, for example - and then return it
later. Only about 10 per cent of water used for energy generation
is actually consumed,
the IEA says.
But in future, this could change, as we use more
energy crops and shift toward more efficient power plants with
advanced cooling systems that consume water. Water withdrawals by
the energy sector could increase by about 20 per cent over the next
20 years, the IEA suggests - while water consumption could go up by
a more dramatic 85 per cent:
Source: International Energy Agency, March
The future
There is a bright side, however. Water requirements
from other renewable technologies like wind and solar power are
"negligible", the
IEA says. This makes them well-suited
to a water- and carbon-constrained world.
In future, limitations on water supply could well
affect where developers chose to locate new power stations - and
even affect the extent to which new technologies like bioenergy and
shale gas
can develop.
Governments need to invest "heavily" in research and
development into more water-efficient technologies, support the use
of reclaimed water for irrigation and develop regional water plans
that consider electricity needs, the
UN report says. In China, the
government is already
planning to limit coal expansion in
response to water availability.
The IEA expects the energy sector to become
increasingly water-vulnerable. But it suggests the impacts are
"manageable" with better technologies, more reliance on renewables,
and intelligent power station siting. In its vision of the future
world energy system, it assumes that water constraints can be
Politicians and energy company bosses involved in
shaping the world's future energy systems will probably have to
hope that this assumption is correct.

How Do I Know How Many Cells I Need?
Cellular shades come in single, double and triple cell thicknesses. The number of cells refers to the number of layers of cellular fabric that have been combined. Double cell refers to 2 layers of typically 3/8" material joined together while triple cell refers to 3 layers of material.
In general, the more layers of fabric, the greater the insulating ability of the shade to protect against the heat of summer or the cold of winter... reducing your heating and cooling costs.

Release date: May 26, 2004
Over half the Museum will feature the collection
SFMOMA announces access to the collection online
Koret Visitor Education Center now open full-time
Beginning July 1, 2004, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) will turn its entire fifth floor over to Between Art and Life: The Contemporary Painting and Sculpture Collection, a new presentation of the institution's significant collection of post-1960 contemporary art, while expanding its signature modern art (1900–1960) collection on the second floor. With this new exhibition, more than 50 percent of the Museum's exhibition space will be dedicated to its own collection. Following the lead of Picturing Modernity, the ongoing presentation of SFMOMA's world-class photography collection, and The Art of Design, which launched last year to feature the stellar architecture and design collection, this new exhibition will give the Museum an opportunity to reveal its remarkable holdings in painting and sculpture.
"The excitement of our new building inspired the institution to acquire extensively and impressively over the past decade," commented SFMOMA Director Neal Benezra. "Since then we've developed one of the nation's leading collections of modern and contemporary art, including several landmark works such as Robert Rauschenberg's Erased De Kooning Drawing, 1953; Les Valeurs personnelles (Personal Values), 1952, by René Magritte; Louise Bourgeois's The Nest, 1994; and Splitting: Four Corners, 1974, by Gordon Matta-Clark, among many others. This new presentation will emphasize the breadth and depth of our collection and will be updated continually with recent acquisitions and rotating pieces, so there will always be something new for visitors to discover."
Between Art and Life will highlight works from the past four decades. While individual works will rotate occasionally, the galleries will be completely reinstalled once a year—a strategy that accommodates the volume of contemporary works that have been acquired by SFMOMA over the past ten years. The inaugural installation will be organized around the overriding concept of the "gap"—or intersection—between art and life, as made famous by Robert Rauschenberg in 1961 when he said, "Painting relates to both art and life. Neither can be made. (I try to act in that gap between the two.)" Indeed, the work of Rauschenberg, which SFMOMA owns in unsurpassed depth, will form a bridge between the second- and fifth-floor presentations. Between Art and Life will open with the artist's 1998 work Port of Entry. The installation will also include important works such as Sans II, 1968, and Untitled or Not Yet, 1966, by Eva Hesse; Cold Mountain, 1989–91, by Brice Marden; and Jay DeFeo's Incision, 1958–61, as well as groupings of art works by Robert Gober, Sherrie Levine, Gordon Matta-Clark, Bruce Nauman, and Cindy Sherman.
The second-floor presentation, entitled Matisse and Beyond: The Painting and Sculpture Collection, will continue to showcase SFMOMA's modern art holdings beginning with Fauvism and Cubism—including Henri Matisse's seminal Femme au chapeau (Woman with the Hat), 1905, a cornerstone of the SFMOMA collection—and will now conclude with Pop art and Minimalism, movements that set the stage for today's landscape of art practices. The galleries will engender a broader, more inclusive, and more accurate telling of the history of twentieth-century art starting with important works such as Marcel Duchamp's Fountain, 1917/1964; Composition with Red, Yellow, and Blue, 1935–42, by Piet Mondrian; Jackson Pollock's Guardians of the Secret, 1943; and The Flower Carrier, 1935, by Diego Rivera, while also allowing artists such as Bruce Conner, Joseph Cornell, Ellsworth Kelly, Philip Guston, Robert Rauschenberg, Clyfford Still, and Yves Klein to be shown in depth for the first time at SFMOMA. The presentation will also highlight new acquisitions on an ongoing basis and will feature, also for the first time at SFMOMA, a gallery dedicated solely to works on paper.
At the end of the fifth-floor presentation, the New Work series of focused exhibitions will be reintroduced after a five-year hiatus. Three times each year, New Work will feature the brand-new, sometimes site-specific work of one or more artists working today. The initial presentation, also opening July 1, 2004, will feature two Los Angeles–based artists, Evan Holloway and Dave Muller. "We are thrilled to reintroduce the dynamic New Work program," states Benezra. "It forms an exciting, forward-looking coda to our story of art."
Collections Access Online
As yet another way to take a fresh look at the collection, SFMOMA invites the public to discover its rich holdings of modern and contemporary art in cyberspace with the launch of Collections Access Online, a new feature of SFMOMA's Web site (www.sfmoma.org) that will provide access to the collection as a searchable database. Extending the reach of SFMOMA as a vital public resource, Collections Access Online aims to serve a global audience of museum-goers, scholars, educators, and professionals with quick and direct access to its far-reaching collection.
An initial offering of five thousand objects will go live on the Web beginning July 1, 2004. Users will find images and descriptions of a broad selection of works from each subcollection—painting and sculpture, architecture and design, photography, and media arts. This introductory roll out represents roughly 20 percent of the Museum's holdings; over time the number of records and depth of content will grow to encompass some 25,000 objects currently housed in the collection.
"Our online visitors will now experience a more comprehensive view of SFMOMA," says Benezra. "Just as the move to our new building inspired unprecedented growth in acquisitions, Collections Access Online creates a new home on our web site for extended public and scholarly access to the collections database. Virtual access to the Museum's collection and its continually growing archive will be more informative and dynamic than ever."
The result of an interdepartmental collaboration funded by a 2001 NEH seed grant, Collections Access Online will allow visitors to quickly search the collection for a particular artist or object, or browse selections from each curatorial department, often finding links to related interactive features on www.sfmoma.org. Collections Access Online provides the Museum with a vehicle to share a greater portion of its holdings with the public.
Koret Visitor Education Center Open Full-Time
Thanks to a generous grant from Wells Fargo, the Museum's groundbreaking Koret Visitor Education Center will be open full-time during Museum hours beginning spring 2004. Situated adjacent to the second-floor collection galleries, the Koret Center is the only educational facility at an American art museum to offer drop-in public access as well as a full calendar of scheduled programs and activities. The Koret Center opened to the public in October 2002 with limited public hours.
One of the Koret Center's most innovative features is the Learning Lounge, a resource area for visitors of all ages. This multifunctional space offers comfortable seating and a place to peruse exhibition catalogues, themed art activity bins for children, interactive multimedia kiosks, video and DVD viewing stations, online information about SFMOMA's special exhibitions and collection, and access to trained education resource staff who can assist visitors with questions and requests.
Other Koret Center features include:
The Lecture Room with flexible seating and state-of-the-art multimedia display technology
The Teacher Resource Space with tools for planning Museum visits and classroom curricula
The Francis Goldsmith Studio for school tours and teen and family programs
Public Programs for adults, including a new screening program of videos related to art in the galleries
The Community Gallery for works created by participants in school, teen and family programs
Interactive kiosks with such multimedia programs as Artists Working/Artists Talking, a new anthology of interview clips and studio footage of 30 artists represented in the Museum's collection
Resource Desk with trained education professionals
Pick Up and Go guides to the permanent collection for adults and children, and themed art activity bins for children
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
151 Third Street
San Francisco, CA 94103
Founded in 1935 as the first West Coast museum devoted to modern and contemporary art, SFMOMA is currently undergoing a major expansion project that will significantly enhance gallery, education, and public spaces, enabling the museum to better showcase more of its expanded permanent collection. While the museum is temporarily closed for construction, through 2016, SFMOMA is "on the go" with an extensive array of off-site programming across the Bay Area, including collaborative and traveling museum exhibitions, major outdoor projects and commissioned installations, and new education initiatives.

September 16
Viscount Bolingbroke
On this date in 1678, Henry St. John, who later became Viscount Bolingbroke, was born near Battersea, England. Brought up by grandparents when his mother died soon after his birth, he was educated at Eton and Oxford. St. John became a prominent Tory in Parliament, where he was first elected in 1701. He served as Secretary of War from 1704-1708, and from 1710 -1714 was Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, negotiating the Treaty of Utrecht. He became a favorite counselor of Queen Anne, was named Viscount Bolingbroke in 1712 and entered the House of Lords. Bolingbroke was forced to flee to France after being impeached for high treason by King George I in 1715. The witty Deist, who criticized the bible, dismissed the idea of an anthropomorphic god, rejected prayer and miracles, doubted the existence of a soul or immortality, argued against divine morality, and wrote that Platonism had corrupted Christianity, met and impressed Voltaire. In 1725, Bolingbroke was permitted to return to England and claim his property but was never reseated to Parliament. His Tory-sympathizing circle of friends included Swift and Pope, and Voltaire visited him in England. "The Idea of a Patriot King" was Bolingbroke's most significant political contribution. His irreligious views, which influenced friends such as Voltaire, were only published posthumously, and created a sensation. D. 1751.

X Factor's Amelia Lily has been sharing some festive cheer this Christmas.
The singer took to the stage in Manchester as she performed at the Key 103 Cash For Kids Christmas lunch.
Dressed in a black leather dress with her pink hair on show, the 18-year-old looked like she was putting a lot of emotion into her charity gig.

As they say in TV speak, it's a wrap! All 13 episodes of our third season of QA TV have taped. Now the editing and captioning fairies will work their magic so that Series 300 will be ready to air nationwide starting December 26. I had wanted to give a daily report of the taping while I was away, but the Internet connection at my hotel conked after my first night's stay. (I felt a little gagged that I had no email for five straight nights.)
Below are just a handful of pictures at the latest taping. I feel so honored and fortunate that they as well as all of the artists made the trek to Cleveland, and want to thank all of our guests and designers, Kathie Stull, and all of the sponsors for making this show possible!
Above Hollis Chatelain poses with me just before we taped her "Imagine Hope" segment. For the past few years, Hollis has been tirelessly planning a massive traveling exhibit that promises to be eye opening. Hollis relayed to me that in order to make progress for one of her pieces that aired, she got up at 2:00 AM every day to free-motion quilt. That's dedication!
Above I'm mugging with the talented Lyric Kinard who we've all seen grace the pages of Quilting Arts. (And I promise you'll be seeing a lot more of her.)
A peek at one of her... shall we say...scrumptious projects is below.
The bubbly and humor-loving Laura Wasilowski taped two segments, one if which she pinch hit for Frieda Anderson who unfortunately was totally out with the flu the day she was supposed to hop on a plane. We sure missed Frieda but Laura did a fabulous job covering!
Lyric, Laura, and I in the green room.
The very talented Melanie Testa taped a couple of segments. I am a huge fan of Melanie's work and we have some big plans for her, too!
Artist Jane LaFazio who you may remember from my Long Beach post, also taped two segments. While waiting in the green room, Jane spent much of her time painting with watercolors in her sketchbook (checkout her blog link above). We were all mesmerized!
Above I'm with Melissa Averinos, a new Westminster Fibers designer who just came out with her first line of fabrics. She's a fellow Massachusetts gal, and as we speak she is busy getting her new boutique on Cape Cod called Yummy Goods ready to open to the public. I'm told it will feature fun stuff like this:
Below I'm with Anna Maria Horner who you might remember was a profiled artist in Issue #13 of Cloth Paper Scissors.
The Springsteen/Quilting Arts Connection (albeit tenuous)
Director Mike Murphy (a terrific director and the nicest guy) told me he caught my blog entry about going to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and thought I'd be interested in the following tidbit: When Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band temporarily reunited in 1995 and attended the opening of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, they recorded at the very same studio set as QA TV. I had to take a few deep breaths after he told me that...I couldn't believe we were taping in the same studio that the Boss had been in.
Speaking of music, stay tuned as I'll be posting the particulars to our next Quilting Arts reader challenge by the end of this week!
It's good to be home...

Easy on the Eyes: 5 Gray & Cream Kitchens (And the Perfect Off-White Paint Color)
Kitchen Inspiration
Gray and cream is such a soothing color combination in the kitchen. Do you love it, too? If so, I have five lovely kitchens to share with you, plus a tip from a friend on the perfect off-white paint color to get this subtle, sophisticated look.
A Gorgeous Green-Black Paint Color for the Kitchen: Avocado Peel by Martha Stewart
I'm always frustrated when I find a paint color on Pinterest or in a magazine that I love, but I've no idea what it is. You, too? I can try to match it myself with swatches and samples, but that's very tricky to get right. So, it's specifics for the win, people, which is why I'm happy to share that the beautiful deep green-black cabinet color you see above has an actual name: it's Avocado Peel from Martha Stewart!
Dramatic Touch: Painted Blue Striped Floors
Kitchen Inspiration
We've seen painted and stenciled kitchen floors before, but stripes? Sure, why not! In this client's kitchen, artist and Apartment Therapy Color Therapist Mark Chamberlain painted a gradient of blue stripes for a kitchen floor that is anything but ordinary.
Kitchen Colors: Dark Teal Walls
Kitchen Inspiration
I've always found dark teal to be a deeply rich, romantic color. (I recently painted my hallway this color, and I love it.) But it's not a color you often see in the kitchen; it's usually reserved for small bedrooms or libraries. And yet this photo makes a compelling case, in my view, that dark teal is a dramatic yet workable choice for a kitchen.
Always Classy: Warm Light Gray Cabinets
Kitchen Inspiration
Among the array of possible colors for kitchen cabinets — mint, forest green, pale blue, azure blue, black, and of course white, to name just a few — I find that a warm light gray is quickly becoming a favorite. It looks modern without looking trendy, and still gives that light, clean look but without going all white. (Which is a very nice change of pace indeed.)
An Emerald Green Dining Room Ceiling
Dining Room Inspiration
A painted wall may be nice, but it's not surprising. A painted ceiling? Now that's a little more unusual! Are you bold enough to paint your dining room ceiling a rich shade of emerald green?
Kitchen Colors: Mahogany, Gray, and the Perfect Shade of Rose
Kitchen Inspiration
Could this be the most perfect shade of rose ever? It's unexpected, yet just right for this moody kitchen. It's even better when you see how the kitchen looks from the rest of the apartment...
The Best Paint Finish for Kitchen Walls
I recently moved into a new apartment, and my head is spinning with everything I want to do to make the space my own. I'm especially focused on the kitchen, and plan on painting the room in the next couple of weeks. But while picking a color might seem like the main focus, choosing the right paint finish is equally important, especially when you're dealing with a high-traffic, high-grime place like the kitchen. If you're looking to paint your kitchen, the best paint finish choice is...
Look! A Huge World Map (and Purple Table) in the Dining Room
Dining Room Inspiration
This schoolhouse-inspired dining room is so fun, with its floor-to-ceiling world map, vintage chairs, and purple (!) dining table. If this inspires you to paint your own dining table (or other piece of furniture) consider this tip from Jenny Brandt, the table's owner...
A Punchy Touch: Paint the Ceiling Yellow!
Kitchen Inspiration
We've seen painted ceilings before , and it continues to be one of my favorite ways to detail a kitchen. The bright egg-yolk yellow in this photo provides a much-needed boost of color to the grey cement wall and the white shelves and dishes. It adds just the right amount of warmth to a setting that otherwise might feel a little too austere and industrial.

We Interrupt Doug Benson's Busy Schedule to Preview Comedy Central's 'Benson Interruption'
- Television comedies have had a long and interesting history of sudden interruptions: o. A crowd of 9/11 "truthers" crashed the set of HBO's 'Real Time with Bill Maher...
- Read more
The premise of this show is simple -- comics tell jokes while Doug Benson interrupts them. Benson sits on the stage and, when he feels the time is right, chimes in with his own thoughts during his friends' routines. The series is based on a stage show of the same name that Benson hosted for years in Los Angeles. Among the comics who have been interrupted by Benson are Nick Swardson, Paul Scheer and Michael Ian Black.

Research Summary
Viral Hepatitis-Mechanisms of Persistence, Models of Infection
Hepatocellular Carcinoma - Biomarkers
The major impediment to meaningful advances in the understanding of this important pathogen has been the lack of tractable tissue culture or small animal models. Our laboratory has successfully developed a cell-based model that recapitulates the early steps of the viral lifecycle. We are currently engaged in investigation seeking to determine the means by which this virus establishes persistence at such a high level. We are also seeking to characterize the host response to viral replication at the mRNA and protein level, so that a more complete picture of viral pathogenesis and carcinogenesis can be drawn. Using our system, we are also investigating the activity of putative antiviral compounds, and are using chemical libraries to screen compounds that by regulating HCV replication can identify cellular proteins involved in the HCV lifecycle. We have also generated transgenic mouse models expressing HCV viral proteins in an effort to determine whether the virus itself contributes directly to the malignant transformation that so frequently complicates HCV liver disease. We are also investigating, using proteomic approaches, possible biomarkers for early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with high risk conditions such as cirrhosis.

19303 Fremont Ave. N. Seattle, WA 98133 - Contact Us
Welcome to King's High School!
Each day, I am grateful for God's blessing upon our school that is alive in learning, flourishing academically, rich in its Christian focus and thriving in its activities. We invite you to our beautiful campus to experience our mission of "inspiring hearts and equipping minds" firsthand.
King's High is a place where:
- a vibrant student body engages daily with professional, Christian teachers, staff and coaches to find as Aristotle said, "that point at which our talents and passions intersect with the needs of the world."
- over 300 of our students participated in the fall mixer, Kaleidoscope. That kind of participation is unparalleled in school settings.
- parents gather weekly to pray for students, staff and families.
- we are nearly doubling our learning space with the opening of the King's STEM Center which will open in the fall of 2013.
- our robotics program won its third straight state robotics championship.
- our science department is working closely with the University of Washington's Department of Genome Sciences.
- our mock trial program, in only its third year, is building a regional reputation for excellence.
- our business and marketing program is nationally recognized for excellence in financial literacy and entrepreneurial education.
- Sports Illustrated named King's High School as the best high school athletics program in the state of Washington.
- one of our teachers, that focuses on STEM education, Mikel Thompson, was recently named the WFIS (Washington Federation of Independent Schools)Teacher of the Year.
- we enjoy an educational philosophy that emphasizes teaching students how to think not what to think.
On behalf of the faculty and staff of King's High School, we welcome you. We take our sphere of influence upon our students very seriously and we thank you for the opportunity to team with you in inspiring and equipping them.

Duplicate Content of Biblical Proportions
It is Sunday although I am not a very religious person, thus I was, horror of horrors, outside shovelling snow around. It was drifting, and if I hadn't done anything with it, it might have blocked the driveway for my wife Monday morning.
Does your mind wander when you are doing a physical job that doesn't require much other thought? Mine certainly does.
Duplicate Content of Biblical Proportions
I have been doing some research of "Top 10 Lists" for a new site. Whilst no list of the top 10 best selling books is exactly the same, there is one common feature. Every single top 10 list states that The Bible in all its variations has sold more than 6 billion copies.
That is close to the current world population, estimated by the CIA to be 6,525,170,264 (July 2006 est.)
Thus there are probably as many bibles in the world as people.
That is an awful lot of duplicate content.
Gideons is an interesting organisation, whose work is evangelism and distribution of the bible. You will see Gideons bibles in every hotel room, and I was given a Gideons bible whilst at school in addition to a larger bible I was issued for Religious Education lessons.
With the help of the Gideons organisation, whenever you need a bible, there is one close at hand.
Spread the Word
This is a fundamental concept in all religion, not just Christian. It is not enough to have the knowledge and faith, you are also meant to pass it onto other people. Lots of the time the knowledge will fall on deaf ears. If the knowledge is out there, and easy to find even without specifically looking for it, such as in a hotel room drawer, it has a benefit.
Worthwhile Duplicate Content
I am sure many of those 6 billion bibles are in dusty attics, unused drawers, or buried at the back on shelves, long forgotten. Every now and then one copy gets rediscovered, unearthed or brought out of hiding.
The Bible and Duplicate Content
A church is not the only place you can find a copy of the bible. I am sure many religious people read more of the bible while in church than the cumulative total of all other places, but that doesn't make it pointless to have multiple copies in your home, school, library and even hotel rooms. All those copies of the bible are seeds, and every now and then one of those seeds gets picked up and begins to germinate, wherever the seed is located.
Your Articles and Duplicate Content
I recently wrote a mammoth blog post on my philosophy with article marketing. Many marketing experts believe that article marketing no longer works, or you should be highly selective where you publish your content.
I mentioned a strategy, that as long as you link back to the original source for your content that people can follow, it makes sense to spread your article as widely as possible.
I don't discount special publishing deals that will bring your article to the forefront of thousands of people, but that opportunity is often reserved for established writers.
Articles Are Seeds of Knowledge
Spread your articles far and wide. Sometimes they will land in fertile soil, and germinate and grow almost immediately. Whilst I wouldn't dare liken EzineArticles to a church, it certainly is very fertile ground for your seeds to grow.
Some of your articles will almost certainly end up landing on less fertile ground, or buried deep in a website long forgotten. It is a seed that hasn't germinated yet, but one day it might be uncovered and grow into a tree bearing fruit.
Sometimes your article may end up on even more unsavoury territory, with a link to you not being provided, or even worse plagiarised. It will happen, such is the nature of people. If the purpose of your article was to help people more than market yourself, then it really doesn't matter if occasionally the link to you is broken. A person reading your article is still going to look for further knowledge on the subject, and eventually find their way to respected sources of information, such as yourself, just as someone picking up a Gideon's bible might eventually find their way to a church.
If you don't sow your seeds, they don't have a chance to grow

Buying Tips for Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles
Used or new, buying a vehicle is a big investment. Follow these important Certified Preâowned Vehicle Purchasing Tips as you begin your research.
Used or new, buying a vehicle is a big investment. Follow these important Certified Preâowned Vehicle Purchasing Tips as you begin your research.
All manufacturersâ certified preâowned vehicles must pass a certification inspection. If you are interested in a CPO vehicle, ask the dealer to give you a copy of the inspection list. The list will indicate exactly what has been inspected and should list any repair or maintenance work that was required to bring the vehicle up to certified standards.
Note the mileage and find out the remaining warranty for the vehicle. Depending on the program, you may receive no additional benefits beyond the new-car warranty, or you may receive up to 36 months/50,000 miles of additional certified warranty. Read the certified warranty information carefully to know what additional coverage (beyond any remaining new-car warranty) you will receive with the vehicle and if there is a deductible. Review our program overview to get an idea of what coverage exists based on typical mileage; this will vary based on the exact mileage on the vehicle youâre considering.

A near sell-out crowd, much like Charlotte the night before. Only scattered open seats from what I saw.
Dark Match: William Regal pinned David Flair with a running knee to the head
The Gymini (w/ Simon Dean) defeated Jason Jones & ? Moore when Moore was pinned; after the bout, the Gymini hit the Cross Trainer on Jones
Bobby Lashley pinned Brad Attitude with the Dominator
WWE Cruiserweight Champion Kid Kash & Jamie Noble defeated Paul London & Brian Kendrick when Kendrick submitted to Nobles dragon sleeper
- Good match with some nice high spots to the floor. Kash was very over as a heel.
Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Mark Henry (w/ Daivari)
- Rey started the show off with an in-ring promo in which he said he knew he was the underdog in this rematch and in the upcoming Royal Rumble. And while he admitted to being small in nature, he said he has a big heart. He dedicated his performance and win in the Royal Rumble to Eddie Guerrero. Rey wore Eddies shirt to the ring and there were a lot of Eddie chants during the promo. As far as the match, it was very fast paced with Rey dominating, using a hit-and-run offense which kept Henry off guard. Henry eventually caught Rey and hit the powerslam for the win. Daivari did guest commentary for the match. After the bout, two referees helped Rey from the ring.
Randy Orton, Booker T, and Sharmell were shown backstage in which Booker offered to pay Randy back his favor by interfering in his upcoming match with Chris Benoit. Orton declined the offer, saying he could beat Benoit on his own, but said he might cash in the favor at the Royal Rumble, especially if Booker and Orton are the last two in the ring. Orton walked off and Booker and Sharmell did not look pleased with that idea.
Footage from last weekends Smackdown tour of Mexico was shown, specifically of Chris Benoit, Rey Mysterio Jr., and El Hijo del Santo in the ring paying tribute to Eddie Guerrero.
Super Crazy & Psychosis vs. James & Chad Dick vs. Nunzio & Vito (Royal Rumble Qualifying Match)
- Crazy pinned Nunzio after a wheelbarrow-facebuster double team.
The Rob Van Dam Royal Rumble vignette was shown.
A Royal Rumble Flashback recapped Chris Benoits victory in 2004, a perfect lead-in to &
Chris Benoit vs. Randy Orton (No Holds Barred, Falls Count Anywhere)
- Great match, as is usual when these two are in the ring together. Started scientifically at first but eventually went to the floor with Orton using a trash can lid and dropping Benoit across the commentary table. The finish was fantastic. Benoit went for the diving headbutt but Orton blocked by raising the trash can lid. Orton got to his feet first and set Benoit up for the RKO but Benoit shoved him off into the ropes, quickly picked up the trash can lid, smashed it over Ortons head as he ran back off the ropes, and applied the Crossface. After several seconds of frantically stretching for the ropes, Orton tapped. Big pop for Benoits win.
Several Royal Rumble promos were shown throughout the taping, including Road Warrior Animal, Matt Hardy, and Bobby Lashley.
Finlay vs. Sho Funaki
- Finlay won the match with a Musclebuster but the referee reversed the decision when Finley assaulted his opponent after the bout. Finlay then grabbed the mic, said he came to fight and cut a promo on the fans before hitting a second Musclebuster and leaving ringside.

In the aftermath of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad's use of chemical weapons against Syrian opposition forces, the U.S. urgently needs to develop a strategy not only to counter Assad's use of chemical weapons but protect American interests in the Syrian crisis.
The Heritage Foundation has long been focused on developing such policies, as seen in the following writings.
Iran Warns of Retaliation over Syrian Crisis

If the Obama Administration follows through with its planned "shot across the bow" of Assad's Syrian regime, it should be prepared to deal with the unintended consequences of such action. Some of the most troubling repercussions could come from Iran, Assad's chief ally.

In pressing Congress to approve military action against Syria, both President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry have argued that the U.S. must strike for humanitarian reasons, if no other. But does the Syrian situation really support a moral argument for war?
5 Reasons Congress Should Press Obama on Syria
By Brett Schaefer

September 4, 2013
House and Senate hearings gave Members of Congress an opportunity to question the Obama Administration on Syria and its strategy—and question they should. Here are five reasons Congress should press the Administration for answers.
Obama Punts to Congress on Syria
By James Phillips
The Foundry
August 31, 2013
Having carelessly established a "red line" for intervening in the Syrian civil war without a clear strategy or appropriate course to protect U.S. interests, the President has now dumped the whole mess in the lap of Congress.
It is appropriate for the President to consult Congress, but he has a tall order in convincing many skeptical Members that he is doing the right thing.
Russian Missiles to Syria Endanger U.S. Foreign Policy Goals
By Ariel Cohen, PhD
Issue Brief No. 3950
May 29, 2013
Russia is planning to supply Syria game-changing weapons, which will shift the balance of power in the eastern Mediterranean in favor of President Bashar al-Assad's regime and may make any future operations against the Assad forces considerably more difficult.
The Russian advanced weapons systems would be able to target NATO ships as far as 300 kilometers off the coast of Syria and shoot down aircraft in a radius of up to 200 kilometers, including over Turkey, Israel, Iraq, Jordan, and the Mediterranean. This would interfere with any potential U.S.- or NATO-led military or humanitarian operations, including no-fly zones, safe zones, supply routes, or refugee assistance projects.
Syria Crisis: U.S. Leadership Needed to Coordinate Allies
By James Phillips
Issue Brief No. 3939
May 16, 2013
One negative implication of the Obama Administration's "lead from behind" efforts on the worsening Syria crisis is that U.S. allies have independently stepped forward to advance their own interests by backing various rival groups within the ad hoc Syrian opposition coalition. These external aid efforts, often pursued with little coordination, have bolstered Islamist extremist groups within Syria, exacerbated tensions between rival opposition groups, and undermined the unity of the rebel forces.
Syria's Chemical Weapons: U.S. Should Engage Syria's Opposition to Defuse Threat
By James Phillips
Issue Brief No. 3925
May 1, 2013
Washington cannot allow al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, or other hostile forces to cart off Assad's lethal chemical munitions for use outside Syria. That threat, more than Assad's limited use of chemical weapons inside the country, is the chief threat to vital U.S. national interests.
The Obama Administration needs to reach out to non-Islamist factions of Syria's splintered opposition in order to better address that threat, accelerate the fall of Assad, and contain the influence of al-Qaeda in post-Assad Syria.
Kerry Offers More Aid but Still Lacks Sound Strategy on Syria
By James Phillips
Issue Brief No. 3865
February 28, 2013
Kerry's challenge will be to chart a more effective course for salvaging a stable post-Assad Syria that does not threaten U.S. national interests and those of U.S. allies.
The Arab Spring Descends into Islamist Winter: Implications for U.S. Policy
By James Phillips
Backgrounder No. 2754
December 20, 2012
Proactive, thoughtful engagement centered on protecting U.S. interests and promoting peace and prosperity in the region is a more cost-effective alternative to the cycle of violence and repression that is likely to emerge from the Arab uprisings if met with American indifference. Syrian Uprising: U.S. Inaction Contributes to a Wider Regional Conflict
By Steven P. Bucci, PhD, Morgan Lorraine Roach, and James Phillips
Issue Brief No. 3769
November 5, 2012
American policy toward the Syrian uprising has been an unmitigated failure. President Obama's glacially slow and overly cautious policies that were intended to avoid turning the Syrian uprising into a wider regional affair have had exactly the opposite effect. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's call for new leadership in the anti-Assad resistance is likely to amount to an example of too little too late.
No-Fly Zone over Syria: Wrong Policy at the Wrong Time
By Luke Coffey and James Phillips
Issue Brief No. 3702
August 15, 2012
There has been speculation that the U.S. might support the idea of establishing a no-fly zone (NFZ) over Syria. Under the current conditions, an establishment of an NFZ would be a costly and risky action that would do little to stop the killing on the ground while entangling the U.S. in an intensifying civil war.
Counter-Proliferation Contingency Planning Is Needed for Syrian WMD
By Steven P. Bucci, PhD
Testimony before the Committee on Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade, U.S. House of Representatives
July 23, 2012
The situation is Syria could collapse into chaos at any moment with many dangerous consequences for the surrounding region. A major concern is that chemical and biological weapons, or possibly even radioactive material from Syria's nuclear program, could fall into the hands of terrorists. The U.S. needs to be planning for the worst-case scenario. Washington must closely monitor the evolving situation in Syria and make contingency plans.

The Battle for the Body Field
As we attempt to combine multi-device design requirements with complex, media-rich narratives, we've hit the wall. The chunky, fields-and-templates approach we've developed can't save us from the mismatch between our content and HTML's descriptive tools. The good news is we don't have to convert all our projects to XML to learn from the XML community's wisdom. By using custom elements and properties to represent content's meaning, transforming it into HTML on output, and ensuring that editing tools share the same vocabulary, we can publish structured content that supports the needs of today's editors and art directors while also making our content safe for future generations.

PNC Park | 12:35 | Gorzelanny vs. Ben Sheets | Box
Don't look now, but the Pirates are playing major-league baseball.
All along they've been playing in Major League Baseball, but the quality hasn't necessarily been there. They'd pitch but not hit, or hit but not pitch, or hit and pitch but not field. Over the first three months of the season, rarely did the Pirates put together a complete effort.
It looks as if we've turned a corner, though, as the Bucs took three straight from the division leader and have won seven of their last 10. I don't have dreams of October just yet, but I could get used to this winning. First .500, then the world.
Tom Gorzelanny threw seven strong innings, Adam LaRoche and Ryan Doumit hit home runs and Matt Capps earned his ninth save. Good pitching and timely hitting, it turns out, is the start of a recipe for success.
Much of the pre-game talk focused around the Pirates' lineup. I like it, and it worked. Try it again tomorrow, skipper.
This afternoon's start was delayed nearly two and a half hours due to a passing thunderstorm. Paid attendance was announced at just north of 15,000—not bad for a rainy businessman's special, but not exactly sparkling when you consider the caliber of the pitching matchup.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Pre-game Thoughts
The rain's coming down hard outside my window, so it's tough to say whether this one will get off as scheduled. Weather.com says that scattered thunderstorms are in the forecast, with the probability of precipitation set at 40 percent.
The lineups are posted at MLB.com. Nasty Nate's leading off, but the remainder of the order may come as a bit of a surprise. Freddy was shifted up to the second slot, followed by LaRoche, Nady, Doumit, Bay, Bautista, Wilson and Gorzelanny.
Jose is 5 for his last 29 and hasn't recorded a multi-hit game since July 17 against the White Sox. He batted lead-off in that one, and for part of the West Coast roadtrip following, but then he cooled off considerably prompting Tracy to bump him to second. Perhaps dropping him in the order even further will take some pressure off.
Batting seventh this year, Jose is putting up a .321/.367/.429 line. His OPS as a lead-off hitter is .906, boosted by an on-base percentage of .392. He seems to be more patient at the top of the lineup, which leads to more walks and more power—he tees off on mistakes rather than swinging earlier in the count.

As primary campaigns for the 15th State Senate District came to a close, campaign funds and mudslinging came to a head.
Although Councilmember Eric Ulrich outraised opponent Juan Reyes by hundreds of thousands of dollars, the Reyes camp spent $9,000 more to sway voters before polls open, according to 11-day Pre Primary disclosure reports released by the Board of Elections.
At the opening of the period, which began on August 13, Ulrich's war chest boasted $352,758 — well above the Reyes balance of $22,117. During this time, while raining $11,000, the Reyes camp spent more than $26,000; Ulrich for Senate, which raised $1,800, spent $17,218.
During the campaign, Ulrich received a plethora of endorsements, and with that, campaign donations. In the July periodic report filed by Ulrich for State Senate, the New York State Republican committee wired $250,000 into the campaign's account.
The latest report showed a high number of Friends of Juan Reyes' transactions went toward campaign mailing material.
A string of mailers sent by the campaign in the week leading up to the primary took potshots at the councilmember, sparking upset and allegations of insensitivity from Ulrich's campaign.
One particular mailer included a photo of Ulrich's head superimposed on the body of Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev — who led the USSR for nearly 20 years — adorned with several medals.
"Comrades! The glorious party leadership has already chosen Comrade Ulrich as your new senator," the mailer reads. "Do as you are told and obey them."
Ulrich spokesperson Jessica Proud noted the mailer could be offensive to the Eastern European demographic that lives in the reshaped 15th Senate District.
"This senate district is home to many Eastern Europeans who fled Soviet oppression for freedom here in the United States," she said. "For [Reyes] to use images of that horrible period is deplorable."
But if anyone were to understand the mailer, it would be the Eastern European demographic that left the former Soviet Union, said Gerry O'Brien, who runs the Reyes campaign. "They're the kind of people who understands this best — they get it," he said.
The same mailer, directed at different opponents, had been sent out in the past, Proud noted. She referred to one mailer against former state senate candidate Stephen B. Kaufman in a 2004 GOP primary in the Bronx, a Democratic assemblymember who was backed by the state Republican party.
The photo is nearly the same, although with Kaufman's head superimposed on Brezhnev's body, and uses the exact same wording — with the exception of "Comrade Kaufman."

There's been a lot of news from the stars of "The Hills" this week -- and now, show star Heidi Montag is speaking out about her infamous 10-procedure plastic surgery makeover.
"I would never do it again and I would never recommend it for anyone," Heidi says in a new interview with Access Hollywood Live.
Montag, who had a nose job, liposuction, breast and butt augmentation and a chin reduction (all in one day!), says the whole process was "definitely way over my head."
"I should have researched it more," Montag admits. "I wasn't told the repercussions and what would happen emotionally and physically and how much pain I would be in."
The 26-year-old says it was "very traumatic" and she hasn't had a single touch-up since -- not even Botox.
So, what now? "I just focus now on being healthy and alive and strong."
Fore more stars who've been open about their plastic surgery, check out the gallery above!

My ImmortalMy Immortal lyrics
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

Hank Williams Jr. As a female. lol
She also has clear expectations of her talent. "As an artist the key things you have to do is prove yourself in a live scene, prove yourself in a writing scene, and prove yourself doing covers," she reckons. "They're as important as each other."

In a live scene, Amy has already proven herself; many reviewers have commented on her nonchalant, confident stage presence, not to mention her considerable ability on the guitar.
A key trait about Amy is the implausible maturity evident in her lyrics and vocal style, at odds with someone barely out of their teens. It seems to have helped the 20-year-old survive in an ever-more cynical music industry:

Eugenia (Gina) Murillo
December 2007
As a small child, Eugenia (Gina) Murillo grew up in Long Island City in Queens, NY. She would go on daily walks to the pier and would see the United Nations from afar. She was fascinated and intrigued that people with significantly opposing views and from all around the world came together, to discuss important global issues. Little did she know at that time that those leisurely walks would have a lasting impression on making future decisions in life.
For the past 8 years Gina has been an extremely active member of the Rockland County Girl Scouts. She has participated in numerous activities that focused on leadership and community service and has completed both the Silver and Gold Awards. Her Silver Award was obtained by collecting 400 CDs and developing a CD Music Rolling Cart Pharmacy for patients at her local community hospital. For her Gold Award, she developed and implemented a Girls Youth Conference which she held twice due to popular demand. The girls were of Hispanic heritage from social-economic disadvantaged families. It focused on helping each individual girl develop a profile on their inspirations, dreams, cultural values, diversity issues, fears, and obstacles to success.
During the past two years Gina was nominated by the Aspira Organization to be a Hispanic fellowship representative at the New York City Youth Bridge Program. She also participated in a Student Exchange Program to Germany cleaning a river with disabled youth.
Due to her exposure to diversity, strong family values, personal and community service experiences she developed a great intrigue about the differences that make the world interesting and complex. Her current career goals are to be a public health advocate, public policy leader, diplomat, and/or educator. Her dedication to make a difference in the world and offer her time to reach out to her community makes her a CHCI Young Leader of Today.
