Alternative insulin preparations are needed when NPH insulin is ineffective in diabetic dogs. This study evaluated the efficacy of recombinant human protamine zinc insulin (rhPZI) for treating diabetic dogs.
rhPZI is effective for treating diabetic dogs.
Six newly diagnosed and 11 insulin-treated diabetic dogs.
Prospective clinical trial. Dogs were treated with rhPZI for 60 days. Control of glycemia was assessed on days 7, 14, 30, and 60 by evaluation of history, physical examination, body weight, serum fructosamine concentration, and blood glucose concentrations measured before and 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 hours after rhPZI administration. Adjustments in dosage of rhPZI were made as needed to control glycemia.
rhPZI administration resulted in a significant decrease in 10-hour mean blood glucose (MBG10h; 299 ± 115 versus 457 ± 38 mg/dL, X ± SD, P = .0003) and serum fructosamine (478 ± 83 versus 557 ± 104 μmol/L, P = .006) concentration at day 60, compared with day 1, respectively. By day 60, polyuria and polydipsia had improved in 14, body weight was stable or increased in 16, MBG10h had decreased in 16, and serum fructosamine concentration had decreased in 11 of 17 dogs, compared with day 1. Hypoglycemia (<80 mg/dL) was the only consistent adverse event.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance
rhPZI is effective in diabetic dogs and can be considered as an alternative treatment in diabetic dogs that are poorly controlled using other insulin preparations.

Ke$ha Says She Was Forced Into Recording Die Young: Truth Or BS?
By Mack Rawden 3 years ago
After being bombarded by negative tweets related to the lyrics of Die Young, Ke$ha took to her Twitter yesterday to bash the hell out of her own song and claim she was forced into recording the track. If shes to be believed, she never wanted to record those words and has felt really bad about the message the song conveys since the moment it was released.
Unfortunately, theres now a little bit of evidence that calls into question her entire story. According to TMZ, the pop star appeared on a radio show just a few weeks ago and told New Yorkers listening to 95.5 WPLJ that she personally wrote and rewrote and rewrote that song ten times.
Clearly, at some point, Ke$ha was lying. Either she doesnt really have a say over the material she records and just wanted to make herself look good to the radio station, or she has complete say and spewed some bullshit yesterday in an attempt to get people to stop yelling at her in the wake of the tragic Connecticut school shooting.
This is the point in the article where Id normally refer you to the tweets in question, but theyve all since been deleted. So, the question is, was she really forced into recording Die Young or was it her idea from the beginning? Let us know your thoughts by voting in the poll below
Did Kesha Want To Record Die Young?

i noticed some seats have a suspension? under them? do these work? or do they suck?
Seatpost Suspension is what i guess its called
I have it on my commuter hybrid. It's nothing compared to the real thing, but it helps even out the bumps and such of urban and suburban riding. It's purely a comfort thing.
I've heard good things about these.
Riding 19 Years of Specialized Sirrus Tradition.
Live in Houston? Come to http://bicyclecommutehouston.blogspot.com/
1988 Specialized Sirrus, 1989 Alpine Monitor Pass MTB, 2007 Specialized Sirrus 700C hybrid, 2007 Schwinn Town & Country trike, 1970 "Resto-Improved" Raleigh 20, 1970 "WIP" Raleigh 20, and 1980 "WIP" Schwinn Town & Country trike
Suspension seatposts alter leg extension that many riders dislike.
Bikes use brakes to stop.
If your bike has breaks, don't ride it.
I tired. Didn't like the changing saddle height, I found it annoying.
I tend to be on the saddle practically all the time, even going up hills. I position my saddle so that when I put my weight on it I have a normal or slightly longer than normal leg extension at the bottom of a stroke. As a result the saddle stays at a pretty constant height except when I'm going over a significant bump.
On the other hand, I could see the saddle height changing a lot more and getting annoying if your style has you out of the saddle a lot more.
I have a Cane Creek Thudbuster on my hardtail MTB, and I wouldn't ride without it. It keeps the saddle-to-BB distance fairly constant by arching back-and-down in response to bumps, rather than pogoing up-and-down as most of the other suspension seat posts do. I don't even notice it moving at this stage, except in that I don't get kicked around anymore by root and rocks on the trails I ride. Good for the lower back, too!
The downside to it is greater weight than a standard post, but the advantages it brings in comfort, and improved riding technique (being able to sit more on technical climbs/descents, etc.) is more than worth it.

My wife has one on her bike and loves it. She rides < 50 miles per year.
I don't want one on my bike. I ride much > 50 miles per year.
How long was I in the army? Five foot seven.

My Trek Hybrid from a few years back came stock with a cheap suspension seatpost. Its great if you like the feeling of being ejected out of the saddle after a sizeable bump. You're better off pulling out of the saddle momentarily for the big stuff...
Just a simple change to quality wheels with the spokes arranged in a cross pattern will still give you a stiff wheel laterrally (Side to side)- but the give in the wheel vertically will give you a far more comfortable ride.
And a lot of road tandem stoker use the LT Thudbuster just to take the sting out of the potholes that the pilot forgets to warn them about. As I ride offroad and the hits are bigger- I use the HT version.

I love my Thud Buster, pricey but that's often the case for something well designed & well made.
tag, may look into those thudbuster seat posts
I've been looking at the Thudbuster for awhile now; in the interim, I'll have to settle for the pogo stick for my SS project.

A Critical Review of the Book by Itzhak Shapira, The Return of the Kosher Pig - Book Review by Rob Vanhoff
In this review of Itzhak Shapira's book, The Return of the Kosher Pig, Vanhoff looks at both the message of the book and the methods and data by which the author seeks to establish this message. Putting both to the test of honest scholarship and factual history, Vanhoff finds both the message of the book and the way Shapira seeks to establish that message as not only unsubstantiated, but clearly contrary to the clear teaching of the Bible. This book review will reward the reader not only with good insights into how rabbinic materials can be entirely misused, but also will equip the reader to ask the important questions in order to critique and guard oneself from this kind of teaching. 11 pages, in pdf format.
The Pitfall in Using Strong's Numbers - by Tim Hegg
This is a short study about using Strong's Numbers in an attempt to understand the biblical author's meaning. Hegg shows both the shortcomings of such a method, as well as the basic error in thinking that words independent of their context actually carry a specific meaning. The point is that words only gain the author's intended meaning when they are read and interpreted within the context in which they occur. And a list of "word meanings" only offer a semantic range of meanings, not necessarily the meaning desired by the author in a given context. However, the "Dictonaries" offered by Strong in his Exhaustive Concordance actually are not dictionaries at all, but rather the alphabetic listing of the English words used by the KJV translators as they translated a given Hebrew or Greek word in the King James Version of the Bible. 4 pages
What Does "Passover" Mean? A Short Study - by Tim Hegg
When the Exodus text states that Adonai "passed over" the homes of the Israelites during the final plague of the exodus, what exactly does that mean? This short study shows that the verb means "to hover over" in the sense of "protect." 3 pages
Some Thoughts on the Calendar Used by Yeshua & His Disciples - by Tim Hegg
(posted 3/7/16) This short study seeks to discover, both from the biblical text itself as well as from other historical documents, how the beginning of the month of Nisan was determined in the time of Yeshua, that is, the month in which Pesach (Passover) occurs. In addition, this study asks the question of whether the Gospel accounts give evidence that Yeshua and His disciples followed the majority calendar established by the Jewish leaders of His time. The conclusion is that all of the extant data, including the inspired Gospels, given clear evidence that He and His followers did, in fact, follow the majority calendar.
Sola Scriptura: Should the Messianic Movement Reject this Theology? - by Caleb Hegg
(posted 2/28/16) This essay is a response to the article "Sola Scriptura" by Jacob Fronczak, published in the Messiah Journal #111 by First Fruits of Zion (FFOZ). The essay gives the proper definition of Sola Scriptura showing how Fronczak misrepresents this doctrine, and goes to unravel Fronczak's attempts to put rabbinic Oral Torah on par with the inspired Scriptures.
Properly Defining Sola Scriptura - by Tim Hegg
(posted 2/28/16) Jacob Franczak's article entitled "The Five Solas: Sola Scriptura" (Messiah Jouranal #111, FFOZ) proposes to do away with these pillars of the Protestant Reformation beginning with the first of the five, "Sola Scriptura," Latin for "The Scriptures Alone." Unfortunately, Fanczak apparently has never studied the reformers' own definition of this doctrine, and so he creates his own "straw-man" version and sets out to knock this fabricated scarecrow down. In this short article (2 1/2 pages) Hegg gives the historic definition fo "Sola Scriptura" and shows where Frnaczak has missed the mark.
Hell & the Eternal Punishment of the Wicked - by Tim Hegg
(posted 2/22/16) This is an excursus from my Commentary on the Gospel of Matthew showing that the biblical view of hell is that it is a place of eternal punishment for the wicked. This excursus is in pdf format, 5.5 x 8.5 page size, and consists of 26 pages.

This is a short article (3 pages) which seeks to answer the following questions:
A summary of the points made in the article is given as the conclusion.
|To Read or Not to Read: Translating the Qere/Ketiv in Modern English Translations of the Old Testament - by Tim Hegg
(Presented at the 2015 Annual Meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society)
This is a paper dealing with the technical issues of the Masoretic text and the scribal notes in which certain words written in the text (ketiv) are noted by the scribes to be read differently, the word to be read (qere) being written in the margin. After looking at 18 instances in which the Hebrew word לא ("not" or "no") is written in the text but the scribes instruct the reader to read לוֹ ("belonging to him"), Hegg collates 10 English translations to discover whether they follow what is written in the text or what the scribes have substituted in the margin. (29 pages in pdf format)

|Women & Tzitzit: An Inquiry - by Tim Hegg
|A short essay surveying rabbinic literature on the halachah of women wearing tzitzit, and also looking at the meaning of benei Israel, "children of Israel" as to whether this "title" includes both genders. Conclusion of the essay is that the commandment given in Num 15:37ff applies equally to male and female. (4 pages in pdf format)
|The Lunar Sabbath Teaching – Lunar or Looney? - by Rob Vanhoff
|Some within the Messianic movement are teaching that the Shabbat is to be reckoned, not by a seven-day-cycle but by the phases of the moon. Rob Vanhoff, Instructor at TorahResource Institute, weighs in on this bizzare, fringe movement and gives a straightforward, down-to-earth critique of it. (3 pages in pdf format)
|Seven Steps to the "Aleph-Tav" Bible: Why You Should Avoid This Approach to "Interpreting" Scripture – by Rob Vanhoff
|Maybe you've heard of the teaching that tries to connect the Hebrew particle Aleph-Tav (sign of the direct object) with the Alpha and Omega as symbolic of Yeshua (Rev 1:8; 21:6; 22:13). Now someone has even published the "Aleph-Tav Bible" in which they proport to note every use of the aleph-tav as having special meaning, pointing to Yeshua! If you would like a no nonsense explanation of why this teaching is contrary to fact, read Vanhoff's short essay.
|On Decoding the "Paleo" Script Pictures – by Rob Vanhoff
|Have you heard the teachings about the shape of the Hebrew letters giving "deeper, original" meaning to the words in the Hebrew Bible? Have you wondered about "Paleo Hebrew" and how the shape of the letters in some of the oldest forms of semitic writing might give insight into something one could otherwise miss when reading the Bible? Well, if you're wondering about this, you need to read this short essay by Rob Vanhoff, Instructor at TorahResource Institute. Or are you already convinced that the "original or deeper meaning" of the Hebrew words in the Bible can only be known when one considers the "meaning" of the letters that make up the words? Then you really need to read this short essay! (4 pages in pdf format)

|Thoughts on the Ten Words – A Teaching Outline on the Ten Commandments – by Tim Hegg
|This 18 page file comprises the teaching handouts I used some years ago while teaching through the Ten Words (Ten Commandments). They contain thoughts on each of the Ten Words, including suggestions regarding both the positive ways in which the commandments may be guarded and kept as well as the negative aspects, i.e., how the commandments may be broken or disobeyed.
|Should John 6:4 Be Considered a Spurious Insertion into John's Gospel? – by Tim Hegg
A Response to Michael Rood's Fantastic Claim
|In his current teaching regarding the chronology of the Gospels, Michael Rood claims that John 6:4 was added much later after the Gospel of John was written, and that it is therefore a forgery and should be disregarded as not original. He then offers what he considers to be substanial evidence to support his claim: that the earliest Greek manuscripts do not include verse 4 of John 6, and that the Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament with critical apparatus (27th Edition) gives clear evidence of this. This 3 page article investigates Rood's claims and shows them to be utterly false and without supporting evidence, including that of the Nestle-Aland critical text. The paper ends with an exhortation for people not to follow his imaginative teachings.
|Blessings & Curses: Some Background from the Ancient Near Eastern Covenants – by Tim Hegg
|A short essay (5 pages) overviewing the manner in which Deuteronomy (Devarim) is structured after the common Suzerain-Vassal treaties of the Ancient Near East, showing how the historical background of the covenant blessings and curses can help us understand Paul's point in Galatians 3:10–14, that Yeshua "redeemed us from the curse of the Torah."
|1Peter 3:19–20 / Did Yeshua Descend to Hell in the Time between His Death and Resurrection? – by Tim Hegg
|A short paper outlining the two most common interpretations of 1Peter 3:19–20, namely, that (1) Yeshua descended to Hades/Hell between the time of His death and resurrection, and (2) that in these verses Peter is talking about Yeshua preaching to the people in Noah's day through the Spirit Who endowed Noah with power to speak the truth, as well as in His pre-incarnate appearances, as in the Mala'ach Adonai (Angel of the Lord). 3 pages in pdf format.
|Trembling at the Word – by Tim Hegg
From the very beginning of time, the word of God has been under attack. Satan challenged Chavah (Eve) with "Has God said?" This short essay (7 pages) considers what Isaiah means when he writes the very words of God (Isaiah 66:2), "But to this one I will look, to him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word." More and more, even among those who class themselves as evangelical Christians, the word of God—the Bible—is being set aside to accommodate societal and personal likes and dislikes. This article challenges us all to consider the eternal value of God's word and to tremble with joy at having words directly from God's heart to guide, convict, nurture, and strengthen us as we walk in the footsteps of our Messiah, Yeshua.
You Shall Not Boil a Kid in its Mother's Milk: The Interpretive History of a Curious Commandment – by Tim Hegg
This paper deals with the three Torah texts which prohibit boiling a kid in its mother's milk, the textual issues that are involved in these three texts, and the rabbinic literature which deals with the separation of meat and milk. 30 pages. (Read at the 2013 ETS Annual Meeting in Baltimore, MD)
What Version of the Mishnah did Paul Read? – by Tim Hegg
Investigating the Emergence of the Oral Torah as Authoritative Halachah
When was the Mishnah first published in a written format? Don't know the answer? Maybe this paper would interest you! This paper investigates the historical background of the emerging oral Torah, showing the clear distinction that was made in the early rabbinic period between oral and written Torah, and why it is wrong to think that the Mishnah necessarily describes Jewish practice in the pre-destruction era. 24 pages
What English Translation of the Apostolic Scriptures Should I Use? – by Tim Hegg

This is the final lecture (#10) in the Theology Proper series. The subject of this lecture is "The Personhood of the Holy Spirit." The audio lecture is in mp3 format and is 45 minutes in length.
So Great a Salvation – by Tim Hegg
A short essay on the holiness of God, derived from the context of Ex 15:11, and how getting a glimpse of His holiness enables us to see how great our salvation is, that which was purchased for us by Yeshua HaMashiach. 12 pages
The Number 666 in Revelation 13:18 – by Tim Hegg
Several pages describing the variants in the Greek manuscripts, pertaining to the number 666 in Rev 13:18. Some manuscripts have 616. The name of Nero Caesar in Hebrew most likely is what John is encrypting in the number. If taken from Greek, the number is 666. If taken from Latin, the number is 616. Thus, this explanation, that the number represents Nero, is the best explanation for the extant variants in the Greek manuscripts. 2 pages
What is the background of the Eucharist, commonly known as "The Lord's Table?" This paper offers an historical inquiry and suggests that the "Lord's Table" was the product of the emerging Christian Church as she left her Hebrew roots. It shows how 1Corinthians 11 refers to the Passover celebration rather than the later Eucharist of the Christian Church. 15 pages
The standard teaching of the Christian Church is that the Torah is no longer applicable for believers in Yeshua. Acts 15 is often the text used to substantiate this claim. But is this what the Jerusalem Council actually decided? This paper gives an historical perspective to help in its proper interpretation. 17 pages
Those of us in Torah communities often hear from friends and family: "the Old Testament" feasts and festivals are not for us! Why are you celebrating those holidays?" This short paper addresses this question from a biblical perspective. 2 pages
Can We Speak of "Law" in the New Testament in Monolithic Terms?
This paper, delivered at the NW Regional ETS Meeting in 1996, explores the possibility that "Law" (nomos in the Greek) may include Oral Torah within the scope of its meaning when used in the Apostolic Scriptures (NT). Examples of adherance to the Oral Torah both by Yeshua and His disciples are included. 20 pages
The Chronology of the Crucifixion: A Comparison of the Gospel Accounts
This is a study of the chronological problems that are presented by the Synoptic Gospels when compared to the Gospel of John. In considering Matthew 12:40 and its parallel in Luke 11:29–30, which contain the statement of Yeshua regarding the "sign of Jonah," I have come to the conclusion that the "sign of Jonah" is not the length of time he was in the belly of the fish but rather Jonah's preaching which resulted in the repentance of the Ninevites. Likewise, the "sign of Jonah" is not given to indicate that Yeshua would be in the grave for 72 hours, but that like Jonah who was thought to be dead but returns to preach his prophet's message, so Yeshua would actually die yet return on the third day to proclaim the message of the Kingdom. But in contrast to the Jonah's proclamation to the Ninevites, Yeshua's own people would not repent when confronted by Him even though He showed Himself alive after His crucifixion.
Counting the Omer: An Inquiry into the Divergent Methods of the 1st Century Judaisms
The controversies of the 1st Century as to how to count the omer (and specifically what is meant by "the day after the Sabbath" in Leviticus 23:11) are well known. But how are we to assess the various views? This paper gives a brief description of the different views, and some suggestions for how they should be evaluated. 14 pages
This paper looks at Mark 7:19 and Acts 10 (Peter's Vision) from an historical, grammaticaliInterpretation and seeks to show that these texts should not be read as indicating an abolishing of the Torah food laws. 13 pages
Those who argue that the Sabbath is no longer relevant for believers in Yeshua often point to the fact that Yeshua Himself broke the Sabbath, proving it was no longer considered necessary. But did He break the Sabbath? A look at the Scriptures tells a different story.
The symbolism of the hem of the garment in the Ancient Israelite culture plays significantly into the narrative of 1Samuel. This paper explores the use of the "hem" as a structural element in the unfolding story of David's rise to kingship. 12 pages
Torah Communities are finding that homeschooling is a common denominator for families who are serious about building Torah values into the lives of their children. It is something every family should consider. 7 pages
Nothing destroys a community faster than gossip. What does the Almighty think about "evil speech" (Lashon hara)? This short paper gives a brief inquiry into the biblical injuctions against gossip. 2 pages
As followers of Yeshua come to live by Torah, they are often accused of "legalism" by their Christian friends. But what is legalsim? Is following God's Torah legalism? 2 pages
The explanatory phrase, found in Mark 7:19, often translated in our modern English Bibles as, "And thus He declared all foods clean," has been a source of much debate. This short essay outlines the grammatical issues and shows that the the modern translations are weak at best, and that the normal sense of the Greek fits the context perfectly. 5 pages
Matthew 5:17-20 gives to us the clear teaching of Yeshua Himself regarding the Torah. This paper is a line-by-line study of the text.
The Priestly Blessing or Aaronic Benediction: An Exposition of Numbers 6:22-27 including adiscussion of the Tetragrammaton. 9 pages
It is traditional to read Qohelet at the Festival of Sukkot, but why? The wisdom of the Sages is seen in creating this tradition when the real message of Qohelet is understood. For Qohelet leads us to the true source of joy while living here upon the earth. This paper looks at the "traps" Qohelet warns us about that would rob us of true joy. 10 pages
The Sabbath is an important part of Torah communities. But we are constantly having to defend its value. One text that is regularly brought up is Romans 14. Did Paul really indicate in this text that the Sabbath was no longer valid? This short paper explores the text to seek its intended meaning and application. 2 pages
Separating the Most Holy from the Holy: The Veil in the Tabernacle and 1st & 2nd Temples
When the Gospels speak of the "veil" being torn at the death of Yeshua, what exactly is meant? This paper explores the veil that separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place and challenges the traditional view of the tearing of the veil. 12 pages. A separate file contains graphics and illustrations. 4 pages
Should I Remove My Kippah? A Jewish Perspective on 1Corinthians 11:2-16
Have you heard the argument that men who wear a kippa (yarmulke) are going contrary to Apostolic halachah? Here is an article that investigates the meaning of this often misunderstood text. 12 pages
A popular belief in the Christian Church is that one is far more spiritual now than were the pious believers who lived before the coming of Yeshua. Such an opinion is usually based upon a "old covenant" vs. "new covenant" scenario, or upon the work of the Spirit. But is this what the Scriptures teach? 9 pages
What exactly did Yeshua tell His disciples to do in the so-called "Great Commission" (Matthew 28:19-20)? And what did He mean by telling His disciples to "baptize" the converts from among the Gentiles? A study of the text from its historical background. 8 pages
Understanding the form of the literature in which the sacred text is written is vitally important to interpreting it correctly. This paper shows the close affinities between the Royal Grant Treaties of the Ancient Near East and the covenant God made with Abraham. This then allows a clearer understanding of the Abrahamic covenant and its import for us. 13 pages
The Dividing Wall in Ephesians 2:14: What is It? Who Made It? How was It Broken Down?
Many people interpret Ephesians 2:14 as teaching that the Torah was done away with so that Jew and non-Jew could be "one new man" in Yeshua. Is this what Paul was teaching? This paper looks at the context, the grammar, and the words of the text in order to properly interpret the passage . 16 pages
Is the Torah Only for the Unrighteous? An Investigation into 1Timothy 1:3–11
This short article looks at the context of 1Timothy 1:9–10, which at first reading seems to say that the Torah "was made" only for the unrighteous. A closer look at the context and the words Paul uses in this text tell a different story, however. 7 pages
In the traditional Pesach (Passover) seder, four cups are drunk, one for each of the phrases in Exodus 6:6-7. This paper explores the meaning of the each cup and its significance for our redemption in Yeshua our Messiah. 7 pages
This paper explores the role of women in the Torah community from the perspective of the Apostolic Scriptures, giving particular attention to the passages that have been traditionally interpreted negatively toward women. 43 pages
There are those who claim that pronouncing the Sacred Name is not only good but necessary for proper worship. This paper exposes the premises of this position and calls for a biblical understanding of the Name and its use. 6 pages
Yeshua is called "Rabbi" in the Gospels. Is this anachronistic? Was the word used to identify teachers in the early 1st Century CE? And what of the prohibition in Matthew 23 about calling anyone a "Rabbi"? An inquiry into these questions. 17 pages
In the 1st Century CE, circumcision was understood as a sign of being Jewish. But what was the original intent in giving this sign to Abraham? This paper looks at the biblical text, seeking answers to that question. 18 pages
A study of preliminary questions for those evaluating the "tongues movement." Were tongues ecstatic utterance? Should everyone speak in tongues? How do we know that what is called "tongues" today is the same as the 1st Century phenomenon? 30 pages
Traditions: Some Thoughts on the Place of Tradition in Torah Communities
This paper addresses the issue of "tradition" in the Torah community of Yeshua. Sometimes Yeshua spoke against the traditions, yet at other times He followed the traditions. Here are some seeds for further dialog and thought. 6 pages
This paper gives a critique of the Two House Movement (also called the Ephraimite Movement or Messianic Israel movement), showing biblical and historical reasons why it is based upon a misunderstanding of Scripture. 11 pages
We often hear people say that Yeshua "fulfilled" the Torah by which they mean "He fulfilled it so we don't have to do it." Is this what Yeshua meant when He said that He had come to "fulfill" the Torah and the Prophets? This paper explores the meaning of the word "fulfill" in this text, comparing it with other uses of the word throughout the Scriptures. 18 pages
In Torah Communities there is a great desire to recover what we have lost and jettison the things that "essentially differ" from what God desires. Christmas has such deep cultural roots in the Christian Church that it is difficult to objectively evaluate its origins and assess its true value. This paper looks historically at the holiday, showing how many pagan symbols and practices are actually at its core. 12 pages
Thoughts on our faith in Yeshua, and the Scriptures that are foundational for that faith. 8 pages
Thoughts on the Meaning of the Hebrew Word "Kafar", To Atone
Does "atonement" just "cover" the sin but not remove it? What is the meaning of the Hebrew word most often translated "to atone" or "atonement?" 2 pages
Do the Seven, Go to Heaven? An Investigation into the History of the Noachide Laws
This is a paper delivered at the 2006 annual meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society, investigating the Noachide Laws as presented in the rabbinic literature. The paper shows that the Noachide Laws were never envisioned by the early rabbis as a means for Gentiles to obtain a place in the world to come. 19 pages
"In the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit: Matt 28:19 – A Later Addition to Matthew's Gospel?"
Some have suggested that the ending verses of Matthew's Gospel were added by the later Christian Church, especially since 28:19 appears to contain a "trinitarian formula." This paper investigates the text-critical issues and shows that all extant data points to this verse as being originally part of Matthew's Gospel. 9 pages
Apostolic Judaism & Historic Christianity: The Core Differences
This paper contrasts the Hebraic worldview of the early followers of Yeshua and the Western worldview that enveloped the emerging Christian Church. 10 pages
The mystery of Yeshua's divine nature is clearly taught as a reality in the Scriptures. This short article emphasizes a number of texts that point clearly to the eternal, divine nature of our Messiah, Yeshua. Though this doctrine is increasingly under attack in our times, we must affirm its truth based upon the clear teaching of Scripture. 4 pages
Some have suggested that Yeshua is a lesser reality of YHVH and by so doing, to give an "explanation" to the dual natures (divine and human) of the Messiah. This paper shows the falacies in such thinking. 7 pages
What does the Torah have to say about pre-marital sex? This short paper demonstrates the high standards which God expects of His people in matters relating to marriage and the sexual relations that are to be reserved for marriage. 4 pages
They Pierced My Hands and My Feet: Psalm 22:16 in the Hebrew Psalter
Is there evidence that the original Hebrew text of Ps 22:16 spoke of hands and feet being pierced, or was this something that the Christians added later? The text from Nachal Chever is consulted and a photograph offered to show that the Hebrew did originally conform to what the Lxx translators wrote. 2 pages
Against the backdrop of mankind's depravity, this short study notes the utter necessity of God's work in sanctifying sinners. The significance of this divine work is considered in light of how the Gospel is presented. 4 pages
What do the Apostolic Scriptures say about the Virgin Birth (conception) of Yeshua? Is this a foundational doctrine of our faith? What about those who say that the whole idea of a "virgin conception" is derived from pagan myths? And if the Virgin Birth is so important, why doesn't Paul even mention it? This short study looks into the biblical texts themselves to give clear and concise answers to these questions and more. 12 pages
A short study showing the basis upon which God forgives sin is the satisfaction of His justice in terms of the "wages of sin." The payment for sin could only be made by the spotless Lamb of God, Yeshua our Messiah. 8 pages
The current Torah Movement has come about because people have sought to recover a biblical understanding of the Torah and its application to our lives as believers in Yeshua. This paper suggests that if we hope to establish generational Torah Communities, we must have a similar reformation and reclamation in the area of ecclesiology, or the biblical doctrine of the "assembly" as a community in which God's work is manifested. The first step to such a reclamation is the establishment of biblical leadership within our communities. 18 pages (this is the complete study, parts 1–3).
"All Things to All Men" – Paul and the Torah in 1Corinthians 9:19–23
This is a study of 1Cor 9:19–23 which shows that when Paul said he became "all things to all men," he did not mean that he gave up Torah observance in order to win the Gentiles, but acted as though he were entirely Torah observant when with the Jews. When we study this text in the larger context, we see that Paul was not a "theological chameleon" as many have portrayed him to be. 12 pages
The Public Reading of Scripture in the 1st Century Synagogue
This paper seeks to understand that various customs surrounding the public reading of the Scriptures in the 1st Century Synagogue. Did the early Synagogue utilize the three year cycle of readings (triennial) or was the one year cycle (annual) already in place in the pre-destruction era? What about the haftarah (prophetic) readings? Were these already determined and set in the early Synagogue? These and other questions are addressed. 16 pages
Did the Author of Hebrews Change "Covenant" to "Last Will & Testament"
A study of Hebrews 9:15–17, investigating the use of "covenant" (Greek: diatheke) in the context and message of the Epistle. 8 pages

It is Often Said: 2000 Years of Christianity Cannot be Wrong!
Have you been told, or thought yourself, "how could 2000 years of Christianity, which has taught that the Torah was abolished by Yeshua and His Apostles, be wrong?" It seems as though God has surely blessed the Christian Church by sustaining it over such a long period of time. If Christian theology regarding the Torah is actually wrong, why has God allowed the Church to have such power and longevity? In this article, Tim Hegg looks at the fallacy of this argument and gives some straightforward answers to this line of argument. 6 pages
Many believers in Yeshua, if asked why the death and resurrection of Yeshua is absolutely necessary for their salvation, can give a good, biblically based answer. But if the question is asked, "Why is Yeshua's intercession for us necessary?", many have only vague or incomplete answers. This article offers an brief overview of the biblical statements regarding the intercessory work of Yeshua, and how this work is foundational to God's purpose in salvation of sinners. 8 pages

Many have speculated that classifying web pages can improve a search engine's ranking of results. Intuitively results should be more relevant when they match the class of a query. We present a simple framework for classification-enhanced ranking that uses clicks in combination with the classification of web pages to derive a class distribution for the query. We then go on to define a variety of features that capture the match between the class distributions of a web page and a query, the ambiguity of a query, and the coverage of a retrieved result relative to a query's set of classes. Experimental results demonstrate that a ranker learned with these features significantly improves ranking over a competitive baseline. Furthermore, our methodology is agnostic with respect to the classification space and can be used to derive query classes for a variety of different taxonomies.

Matilda had never urinated or defecated in the house. But Ellie found her dog curled up under the dining room table, looking quite sheepish, and the dog's bed full of urine. Ellie did her best to comfort 9-year-old Matilda.
Matilda seems to be dealing with urinary tract incontinence. This means she is not able to hold her urine overnight.
This is a fairly common problem in older dogs, with females showing a higher incidence.
The underlying cause of urinary incontinence can involve a decrease in tone to one of the two urethral sphincter muscles. Each is under a different type of nervous system control — one voluntary, the other involuntary. Controlling the urge to go involves the voluntary urethral sphincter. The involuntary sphincter works unconsciously, during periods of sleep, for example. When there is decreased tone to the involuntary sphincter, pressure from increased volume within the bladder can overwhelm the weakened tone and allow urine to leak out.
The key to addressing such cases as Matilda's is to determine if her urinary incontinence is primary. In other words, is it due to a primary decrease in involuntary urethral sphincter tone or is it secondary to another issue?
Dogs that develop urinary tract infections caused by bacteria can, as a result, appear to leak urine. This is a secondary incontinence issue. Then there are other causes in which the involuntary urethral sphincter tone is adequate, but the pressure inside the bladder is increased. This increased pressure within the bladder then overcomes the sphincter tone and urine leaks out. This occurs most commonly as a result of increased urine volume, which in turn occurs from increased fluid intake.
Increased fluid intake can be physiologically normal if, for example, your dog has had a very strenuous day and needs to replace fluids lost during exercise. There are also diseases that cause a significant increase in fluid intake and, thus, urine volume.
Obviously, the key in Matilda's case is whether she has primary or secondary urinary incontinence. Physical examination with blood and urine testing should help provide an answer. If she does have primary urinary tract incontinence, there are medications to increase involuntary urethral sphincter tone and curb the leaking.

NHS Student Research Fund Recipients
The College of Natural and Health Sciences (NHS) launched in spring 2006 a new UNC Foundation account entitled the NHS Student Research Fund, which is intended to support research and research-related travel by NHS students. The fund has been supported through generous donations by faculty, staff, and friends of the College, as well as proceeds generated by the NHS Student Research Celebration. This new Foundation account is still in the building stages; however, the College designated some funds in order to allow a funding competition in the current academic year.

Public Lectures on Slavery, were delivered in the Methodist Meeting House,
in this town, on the evening of the 1st inst. and yesterday afternoon, by Angelina
E. Grimke. We were not able to be present at the latter. At the former, there
was a great crowd, the house being literally packed full, in every place,
where a person could sit or stand, and more went away who could not get in, than
there were in the house. The lecture lasted about two hours, during which,
the undivided attention of the audience was given, and all appear to have been
well satisfied with the lecture.
Angelina Grimke (1805-1879) and her sister Sarah (1792-1873) were the first women in the United States to publicly argue for the abolition of slavery. Cultured and well educated, Angelina had moved from her father's large plantation in South Carolina to join her sister in Philadelphia in 1829. The sisters were touring the northeast in 1837, which is when Angelina spoke in Greenfield, Massachusetts, to a packed house at the Methodist Church. In 1838, Angelina became the first woman to address a legislative body when she spoke to the Massachusetts State Legislature on women's rights and abolition.
The Gazette & Mercury was the newspaper in Greenfield, Massachusetts, from June 27, 1837 to July 13, 1841, when it changed its name to the Gazette & Courier.

Hi everyone - I am a middle aged male living alone [I like it that way]. I had stopped dreaming, or at least stopped remembering them, for about 10 years after I did a "controlled dreaming" thing because I wanted to stop the disturbing dreams I had been having [10 years ago].
What I did was tell myself before going to sleep that, when dreaming, I would stop running and turn and face my attackers. Well, it worked wonderfully!! Just a few times and the chasing stopped, as did all dreams... until about 6 months ago.
6 mos ago, I began dreaming of myself sleeping in my bed, but I was having trouble falling asleep because it felt like something was laying in bed behind me, allways behind me. I could FEEL it squirming around there!
The thing is, I am dreaming of myself dreaming, and when I wake up I am not sure which dream I woke up from, and if I am still dreaming. The "ghosty thing behind me" seems to be when I wake up for real, and I can still feel it there.
One time, when I rolled onto "the thing behind me", I heard a loud squealing sound, so "other worldly" I cannot describe it - "be be be be be be be". Several times I have sat up in bed when I hear breathing, it moves around the end of my bed, up the side, and crawls into bed and goes silent. I think I am awake, I am sure I am awake!!
I either have that dream [something behind me, that seems like a ghost], or lately, these "channelled dreams" where I dream someone else's dreams - places I have never been to, like Atlanta Georgia or LA, and with people I have never met [my dark girlfriend who comes to my trailer], etc etc. Totally vivid stuff, so clear, it seems I am there. I remember every detail the next day.
It keeps happening. I have gotten help to clear ghosts from my room and apartment, I have taken every bit of advise I got because this has gotten serious. I am at my wits end, I cannot take much more. These dreams allways wake me up, and I HAVE to get out of bed, I am so disturbed... I am not getting more than about two hours of sleep a night, and usually none during the day. I am so exhausted
One type of dream or the other, it really feels like someone or something is doing this to me.
Any suggestions? Any help at all? - sorry if this is a bit much for an introduction...

Military Law
Have Military Law Questions? Ask a Military Lawyer.
Yes please give me feed back on my question.
I wanted to know if I should pursue Military Retirement after I have been honorably discharged involuntarily. I have a medical illness that was aggrevated by military service. The illness is service connected.
The reason I am pursing this question is because If I am granted a Medical Retirement, sometimes called a Chapter 61....then I would rate CRSC.....please google it.
I wanted to put in for Combat Related Special Compensation.
The only way I would rate it is by having been medically retired.
I was let off active duty and I was granted 100% service connected disability and social security.
In my VA files it states service member is retired.
Why am I not retired from the military when in fact my disability rating was at 100%? Anytime your disability rating is over 30% you rate a medical retirement. Please look and assist me.
Yes, please assist. Please do not have me waiting long. I am leaving the country in a few days....I will be back in Sept.
Mr. Cave,
That's the very thing. My courts-martial was reversed. My charges were set aside. No re-trial occurred. I am 100% disabled veteran. I wanted to pursue retirement. Can you help? I would be happy to retain you. Please call me and we can discuss this matter further. XXX-XXX-XXXX.
That's the thing. I have filed a petition to the Board of Corrections for Naval Records. They sent me a letter back asking me for more information. I received a letter while on appellate leave informing me that I was being discharged honorably and the courts martial was being set aside and the charges were dismissed. The Commanding Officer said in the letter that all rights property and privileges shall be restored.
I lost my personal property in an off base storage unit. My things were auctioned off because of my inability to pay my bill. The unit stopped my pay because I was under investigation for larceny. They said that I was stealing BAH when in fact I was rightfully receiving it. I was new to the unit and did not stay on base.
Am I entitled to a retirement knowing that my disability was rated at 100% using the VA schedule of rating? The law states that anyone leaving active duty and has a disability rating of 30% or greater shall be retired.
My ultimate goal is to began receiving CRSC.
What am I to do?

A beautiful seaside promenade along the Caspian Sea, containing an amusement park, yacht club and historical monuments, and offering boat tours in the Bay of Baku
Standing on the southeast corner of Baku's Old City is the iconic Maiden's Tower – a unique structure shaped like a giant key. Its strong, tall walls, built in the 12th century, have survived the Mongol invasion and endless wars between the Ottoman, Persian and Russian empires.
The old Inner City's other major attraction is the Palace of the Shirvanshahs, built by the Shirvan Kings in the 15th century. This huge complex contains not only the main palace but the Divankhana (low courts), a minaret-topped masjid, a mausoleum and a bath house.
Two main streets dominate the old Inner City: Boyuk Gala (Major Castle) and Kichik Gala (Minor Castle). Running off these are countless narrow alleyways where it is easy to wander for hours.
Some of Baku's best attractions are outside the center. One interesting day trip is to Ateshgah (Temple of Fire), located in Surakhany, 12.5 miles northeast of Baku. It was built by Zoroastrian fire worshippers in the 17th century on the ruins of an ancient temple. As well as being a sacred destination for pilgrims from Iran and India, it symbolizes fire – a fitting monument for a city rich in oil and gas.
For a demonstration of the power of Baku's gas reserves, visit Yanar Dag (Fire Mountain). Around 17 miles northwest of Baku, this is where natural gas flares up from the earth, reaching up to 10 feet in height. At night, the fiery gas can illuminate to 330 feet away.
History buffs should travel 40 miles south of Baku to Gobustan National Park, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. This mountainous area is famous for its petroglyphs and rock engravings dating back tens of thousands of years.
A variety of remarkable museums, including the Azerbaijan State Museum of Art, the Azerbaijan State Museum of History, and the National Carpet Museum.
Beach parties are for those who love blazing nights. Right on the shores of the Caspian sea are several hip clubs, including Club Sea Breeze. More exclusive venues for drinking and dancing include Hezz, Eleven, Pasifico and Chinar. Most of these venues stay open until the early hours.
If you want something quieter but just as stylish, try the Jazz Center, ART Garden, Beluga Restaurant and Bar or Chio Chio San. Here you'll find live music, attentive service and elegant interiors in which to while away the evening.
Expats and tourists tend to crowd into The Shakespeare, Brewery Pub, Finnegans Irish Pub and Adams. They're great places not just to enjoy a pint of beer, but to make new friends and connections. Many of these venues are open throughout the night and are clustered around Fountains Square.
Baku nightlife is not all about late-night drinking and dancing. For tea and coffee lovers, it's worth visiting Kitchenette, Segafredo, Chocolate and Café Caramel. For a more genuine Azeri taste pop into a local "chaykhana" (teahouse) where you will be offered a choice of dozens of kinds of tea blended with herbs and spices. The tea is often served with sweet treats, fruit preserves and sugar. There are teahouses under many buildings in Baku city center.

Don Kesinger's favorite adjective is "slick." As in, "This hereself-cleaning, self-extinguishing ashtray is the slickest thing you ever saw."Or "It was a slick little device that turned a bicycle's hand brake into aparking brake."
Don Kesinger is a 70-year-old inventor who's spent his life coming up withslick little contraptions. He's earned 22 patents, four more are pending, andproduct royalties have supported him for 20 years. He has invented corn pickers,bike suspension seat posts, smokeless ashtrays, shock-absorbing crutches, andseveral tools specific to the cable industry, including his baby, a round cable-crimperthat generates $2 million in annual sales.
His first invention was the wagon he built when he was six. His latest is anice cream scoop that glides effortlessly through hard-packed mocha almond fudge."But I ain't gonna show you how it works," he says, "because the patent'snot yet filed."
Clearly, this isn't a man used to probing the psychology of creativity. He is Paul the Pragmatist. Carl the Concrete Thinker.
I met with Don on a sunny January morning, hoping to discover how someone canbecome more inventive. I'd imagined him working inside a Back to the Futurekind of laboratory with bubbling beakers, coiled yellow electrical wire, and asuffocating atmosphere of disarray.
But Don's hotbed of invention, as he calls it, is a spotless garage in asmall townhouse in a new development south of Denver. He lives on a street thatis excessively bright because the sidewalks are new and the trees are too smallto provide any shade. It's a youthful neighborhood without any ruts orhistory, which in essence makes it the perfect place for Don to invent. It'sas if the tidy gutters of his subdivision are metaphors for the useful but asyet unused devices he creates.
So how does he do it? How does he get up morning after morning and design,make, market, and capitalize on devices that he alone envisions? Whatpsychological tricks can he teach others who hope to become more creative? Thisis what I'm here to find out.
I ring the doorbell and Don opens the door wearing a red flannel shirt, bluejeans, and worn brown leather work boots. He doesn't waste time onpleasantries. He doesn't comment on the weather or ask if I had troublefinding the place. Instead, he tells me to remove my coat, set it on "thatchair," and follow him downstairs.
"This is my shop," he says, opening the door to a garage with shinyconcrete floors. He points to a hulking piece of metal in the corner. "That'sa lathe," he says. "There's a milling machine. And there's a grinder,sander, and saw." He must realize that I'm a girly girl who knows as muchabout machinery as I do federal accounting guidelines. "Now let's go to myoffice," he orders. We've been together four minutes, and I've alreadylost control of the interview.
We sit down in a small, orderly office next to the living room, and for thenext hour and a half, I do my best to unravel the mysteries of continuouscreativity. I ask Don how he comes up with new ideas. "I always have 'em,"he says, his eyebrows raised in a doesn't everybody? look of surprise.
I ask if neatness is important, searching for a clean-environment, clear-mindsort of analogy. "I dunno," he says. "It's just how I work."
I ask how he has the faith and confidence to spend time on ideas that have nopredictable future. He answers by detailing the importance of such things asconfidential-disclosure agreements and patent applications.
Clearly, this isn't a man used to probing the psychology of creativity. Heis Paul the Pragmatist. Carl the Concrete Thinker.
I should have known: Don Kesinger is a mechanical engineer by training. Hisapproach, unlike mine, is to solve problems, not waste time thinking abouthow they got to be problems in the first place.
Although Don isn't partial to talking about himself, he does show me photosof his inventions. He pulls out CAD drawings and opens his inventor'snotebook. He describes his involvement with a successful line of cable toolsmounted on a nearby display board. And gradually, by listening for the messagesembedded in his words, I get a sense of how someone can be more creative on anongoing basis.
It wasn't what I'd expected.
I'd expected some insight into the mysteries of lightning-bolt ideas. I'dhoped for some tips on how to open my mind to the golden rays of inspiration.What I get instead is Don Kesinger's highly logical and straightforward recipefor outside-the-box thinking. A recipe I'd call: "There Ain't No Box."
You see, Don doesn't believe there is any great mystery to what he does."It starts with wanting to be creative," he says. "Then, once you have thedesire, you get to work." And Don's work process is the same with everyinvention.
First, he identifies a problem that needs solving.
Second, he generates solutions, and if those solutions don't work, he comesup with more.
Third, he doesn't have any expectations about how long the process willtake. It took him five minutes to come up with the design for his patentedshock-absorbing crutches. He's been working on the ice cream scoop for 15years.
Finally, he knows that his creations may not pay off overnight, and he'swilling to wait. Remember the wagon he built when he was six years old? Well, itwas too heavy for him to lift at that age. "But I knew I'd grow up and beable to pull it."
It strikes me that Don's approach to creativity is a lot like the approachI used to solve high school algebra problems. Which is to say, it involves a lotof diligence and hard work and probably more than a few cuss words. This issomething I'll try to remember the next time the creative juices stop flowing.Instead of putting down my pen and opening a crisp new bag of Pepperidge FarmChocolate Chunk cookies, I'll keep at it. And if hard work and diligence don'tpay the creative dividends I'm looking for, I can always clean my office.

The latest issue of Game Informer features a cover story on the upcoming multiplatform title, "Grand Theft Auto V." Among the new information are a few details about the gameplay aspects of the open-world action-adventure video game. Rockstar Games talked a little bit about the driving, shooting and melee combat improvements they have made in the sequel compared to Grand Theft Auto IV. You can check out some screens from the latest Grand Theft Auto game in the slideshow at the top of this article and the details below (via the NeoGAF forum):
The cars hold to the ground a bit better. We thought they were big and boatlike in GTA IV, and we feel like it has really leaped forward because we're able to run a little more physics on them. It feels more like a racing game. There are not a lot of high-level racing games out there at the moment, and that itch is going to be scratched by this game in a way maybe it hasn't been in previous GTAs.
We feel like we've evolved it on from where we had it in any previous game a long way. And not just in terms of how it works, but also in terms of the core mechanics of how you get to the play the game.
Melee Combat:
It's better than we've had in the past. How far we can push it. We will see depending on resources we allocate to it. It's never going to be as big a deal as shooting with the way that we make the game, but we do want it feel really fun and strong.

Complete Ferentz Transcript | Ferentz News Conference Highlights
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- After three weeks, the University of Iowa football team is further down the road, but there are miles to go before it sleeps.
Head coach Kirk Ferentz met with media Tuesday in the Hayden Fry Football Complex, and although pleased with two consecutive victories, he mentioned that the Hawkeyes are four points from an undefeated season, and there is room for improvement.
"The thing I'm most excited about is we can still play a lot better," Ferentz said. "We're going to have to, we understand that. We're not a team that can waste a day."
The Hawkeyes (2-1 overall) are coming off victories against Missouri State (28-14) and on the road at Iowa State (27-21) in games that were closer on the scoreboard than on the playing field. Against Missouri State, the Hawkeyes ran the ball 58 times for 296 yards and controlled 36:37 of the 60-minute game clock. Last week in its first road test, Iowa had 60 rushing attempts for 218 yards with 38:03 time of possession.
In a throwback to the Hayden Fry "scratch where it itches" days, Ferentz said "anything that works, we're going to keep doing it."
That could mean another heavy dose of Mark Weisman, Damon Bullock, Jordan Canzeri and LeShun Daniels, Jr., on Saturday when the Hawkeyes host Western Michigan with an 11:01 a.m. (CT) start inside Kinnick Stadium.
"Historically, if you can't run the ball at any level, at some point it's going to catch up to you," Ferentz said. "It helps if you can run, and if you can't stop the run, it's going to be a tough game and a tough season."
It is a "Four's Company" situation in the Hawkeye offensive backfield. Weisman has 425 yards on 85 attempts, followed by Bullock (40 carries, 166 yards), Daniels (6-30) and Canzeri (8-29). Throw in the mobility of quarterback Jake Rudock (19 attempts, 63 yards, four touchdowns) and Iowa is averaging 293.3 rushing yards per game -- 142 yards per game more than its opponents.
"Historically, if you can't run the ball at any level, at some point it's going to catch up to you. It helps if you can run, and if you can't stop the run, it's going to be a tough game and a tough season."
Kirk Ferentz
UI head football coach
"They have earned our confidence," Ferentz said. "Back in the spring I felt good about both guys and they're doing a nice job. It gives us a nice one-two punch, and we know we can count on them."
There is good news in the Hawkeye defensive backfield as well: cornerbacks Jordan Lomax and Maurice Fleming are expected to be at full speed.
The to-do list for Ferentz this week is getting the Hawkeyes to "practice cleaner."
"It's not that they weren't trying, we just have to practice a little bit cleaner," Ferentz said. "Then, hopefully our execution will show up a little better on Saturdays."
Complicating the "cleanliness" of practice recently was a string of unseasonably hot days, coupled with a downpour Sept. 11.
"Last week it felt like we were in Phoenix on Tuesday," Ferentz said. "Wednesday was more like the Midwest or the Gulf, it was kind of humid. Then all of a sudden, we had a shower, so we got to do a wet ball drill finally, which was good, because it was a distraction."
The next on-field distraction comes in the form of a Western Michigan program that is 2-0 all-time against the Hawkeyes. Iowa is 13-4 against Mid-American Conference teams since 1999, but the Hawkeyes have lost the last two meetings: 32-31 against Central Michigan on Sept. 22, 2012, and 30-27 against Northern Illinois to open the 2013 season Aug. 31.
"They play really good football, I've been saying that for a while," Ferentz said. "There are a lot of really good players in the MAC. I'll go back to when I got here. If you compared their quarterbacks from 1999 to 2005, I think you would find they had better pro guys than (the Big Ten Conference) did. That is my observation without doing a study on it."

Do you understand and agree to these provisions as well as JustAnswer.com's disclaimer? Sincerely, Dimitry Alexander Kaplun, Esq.
Thank You, XXXXX XXXXX better now and will act on that tomorrow. if i chose to release myself from the lease and remove my name from the LLC, all liabilities, do i also have the right to half of the monies in our Profit Account as it sits the day i decide to remove myself from the company?
i see, so that i am clear and then i am going to accept your answer and end my endless questions.
i have a trust account (the account we remit to our clients for their profit "portion" from the debt our firm collected on a contingency basis), so as long as i dont touch that account and leave him the monies to properly pay the clients i am okay.
in other words, the profit account is the account money is transferred to after all expensed paid, so by me taking my half of the balance from that account, i dont feel i am leaving him in a situation that is causing harm to his day to day business activites. am i correct in that assumption? thanks again, your insight and experience is going to make me able to sleep tonight.
we do use that account to pay wages, rent and utilities, we have paid everything for the month of September 2010, so let's say that after those are all accounted for and i decide to walk away in the month of September, all wages, rent etc are paid, i should be able legally to access half of the remaining balance in our account?
i am fearful that he is going to go the bank and do something and leave me hanging, can i take my half now, stay on the company (meaning i am acknowledging full liability) and then work out an amicable seperation for a certain dollar figure later?

Volume 1, Issue 13
Have you ever wanted to create your own video games or design your own interactive stories?
Download Scratch for free online or watch an intro video.
Scratch (http://scratch.mit.edu) is a programming language that you can use to create your own interactive media - stories, games, animations, and simulations. To create programs in Scratch, you simply snap together programming-instruction blocks, just as you would snap together puzzle pieces or LEGO bricks.
Since Scratch's release in May 2007, hundreds of thousands of young people have created millions of projects with Scratch, all around the world, in a variety of settings, including at home, schools, libraries, and museums. Most people who create with Scratch are between the ages of 8 and 16, but people of all ages use it to create interactive media for fun (like creating an interactive greeting card for a friend), work (like quickly prototyping ideas), and study (like as an introduction to computer science for both majors and non-majors at colleges and universities across the country).
Explore more than 2.5 million projects in the Scratch online community.
But Scratch is about more than just creating.
It's about sharing!
In addition to the authoring environment, Scratch is an online community where people can share their projects and exchange feedback with others. Each day, members upload more than 2,500 new Scratch projects to the website - on average, two new projects every minute - with more than 2.5 million projects available.
The collection of projects uploaded is incredibly diverse, and includes interactive newsletters, science simulations, virtual tours, animated dance contests, interactive tutorials, and many others, all programmed with the Scratch environment and its graphical programming blocks. You can also download any project to see how it was made!
Who thinks of this stuff?
Scratch is developed by a team of researchers at the MIT Media Lab in a group called Lifelong Kindergarten, which is led by Professor Mitch Resnick. To create an environment like Scratch, it takes considerable time and effort, as well as different types of expertise. Each team member has a different educational background - including electrical engineering, education, psychology, art, and design - but a common element is computer science. Scratch Team members love to design, build, create, make, play, and help others have creative experiences with computers!

Online Content Strategy: Open Up the Conversation
When many companies think about their online content strategy, they revert to talking about themselves—and that's no way to carry on a good conversation.
"They revert back to talking about product, because its what they know," says Ardath Albee, CEO of Marketing Interactions. "Instead, they need to find out what is interesting to their customers and talk about that."
If B2B prospects and customers are looking at your social presence or website, they know who you are, so you don't have to keep reminding them. "The payoff can take a while, but you have to be patient," says Albee, an advisory board member for B2B LeadsCon, set for Aug. 14-15 in New York.
Part of the problem is that marketers often feel more driven by volume than quantity. "Sales gets hyped up and wants more leads so marketers feel they need to fill the funnel, but you need to look at how prospects are moving through the pipeline," she notes. "Marketing and sales need to come into alignment about what they are working on and where they are heading."
Companies with long sales cycles such as IT firms marketing high-ticket systems can benefit from the touches that online content can create. One client of Albee's recently got a call from a vice president they had been trying unsuccessfully to connect with for some time, asking for an appointment. What spurred the call? An article written by a company executive on an industry website.
Still, some marketers don't have the patience to see it through and wait for results. "It's not their fault, they have pressure from above to get the ROI," she says.
Blogging is a great way for B2B marketers to build a presence online, but it can be difficult to get started. "A lot of marketers don't write, or don't have enough confidence in their expertise to write," says Albee. "It's a different skill set, and some folks adapt to it sooner than others."
For their part, companies need to build blogging into their lead nurturing program, and allow employees to post themselves and build an audience. "Immediacy is taken away by a corporate structure that dictates everything has to go through IT," she notes, adding that online content works best when it is written peer-to-peer, in a way that is interesting and engaging.
Also keep in mind that online content should be reused in different ways, to get the most reach. Consider embedding webinar slide decks into blog posts, or offering whitepapers and ebooks in different email promotions.
"You need to pay amore attention to cross-channel efforts, but remember that you can't use the same message everywhere, she says. "Different channels work in different ways."

I imagine either editor Julius Schwartz or Len Wein (the guy who wrote the first installment) came up with the basic "12 Labors" concept. Once that was established, all you'd have to do is decide who the JLA guest-star would be for each issue, and let the writer run with it from there. It's possible that Schwartz deliberately set things up this way so he could "audition" various writers to see who he wanted to take over permanently.

Isadar: Solo Piano, Volume 2
2010 / Mainya Music
44 minutes
Isadar: Solo Piano, Volume 2 is the second installment in a series of four (so far) DVDs of Isadar's live performance and music videos from his six (so far) solo piano recordings. Each DVD has an assortment of pieces from each album, except In Search For the Meaning of Christmas, which has its own DVD. The live performances are filmed from a variety of angles, making it easy and interesting to watch Isadar's hands as he plays. There are also quite a few montages that show several different views at once. This is not only educational for those who want to play Isadar's music themselves, but it also keeps the visuals exciting and dynamic.
The two music videos on this DVD are from Isadar's 2003 release, The Purple Heart, which is an incredible hour-long improvisation honoring those who lost their lives in the 9/11 tragedy. Isadar presents the album as a series of thirteen tracks that flow together on the album, but each has a beginning and end for purposes of making videos and allowing the tracks to be played one at a time. The first video is "New York City Skyline," which features ever-moving film footage of the skyline at night. The second is "Ice," with gorgeous footage of snow and ice in New York City (I assume) as well as of Isadar out walking in the bitter cold. I was familiar with all of the pieces on this DVD, except for "Letting Go," which is from Isadar's upcoming solo piano CD called Red. It's a great piece, so this "sneak peek" into the new album shows great promise!
All but one of the tracks on this disc are original. From Near the Edge of Light (1990): "Holding Back," "In a Corner," and "Maneuvers." From Active Imagination (1999): "Active Imagination," Liz Story's "Wedding Rain," and "Love Chaconne." From The Journey (2000): "The Journey," and "Horseman's Thrill Ride." From Purple Heart (2003): "New York City Skyline" and "Ice." From Red : "Letting Go."
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video, and highly recommend it. It is currently available only from http://www.isadar.com.

The bride wore white, the bridesmaids wore white, the groom wore… white, and so did the groomsmen… it was a beach-themed wedding after all! Soaked in splendid sunshine, and photographed in all its colourful South of France glory by Ben Stirling, with a crowd of smiling guests and surprise fireworks at the end organised by the bride's father – it truly was a foreign affair to remember!
The Couple: Jessica, a journalist originally from France, and Hap, who is in financial sales.
Wedding Date: 18th June 2011
Wedding Ceremony: Holy Trinity Anglican Church of Nice, France | Reception: Plage Keller Restaurant, Cap d'Antibes, France
Wedding Photographer: Ben Stirling, Stirling Photography
We met… At the Lansdowne Pub in Primrose Hill, London.
My first impressions of Hap… I thought he was handsome, intelligent and funny.
My first impressions of Jessica… Beautiful, great smile and daring! She came up to me and gave me her number. I called her an hour later and she didn't pick up!
Our proposal... Hap proposed in the rose gardens of Regent's Park where we often walk through on weekends. We had spent the day riding our bikes and Hap suggested we make a stop in the park, which I didn't think twice about because it was on the way home. Little did I know!
My dress… My gown was light and elegant- a perfect beach wedding dress.
Our wedding theme… We had a beach wedding theme and the colours were (mostly) white.
Our ceremony… It was romantic and quick!
Confetti.co.uk helped me for my wedding because… I used it to buy a lot of organizational things including the table name holders, and also for gifts for my bridesmaids.
We chose our venue because… I am originally from France and I grew up visiting there every summer.
My favourite part of the wedding… Dancing with my husband, the caipirinha bar and the surprise fireworks organized by my father!
Our first dance song… Ray LaMontagne- You Are The Best Thing.
My advice for other brides-to-be… Relax 'cause things will go wrong regardless. Don't yell at your mum too much Enjoy your day and have fun! Don't fret over the small stuff – get a good band or DJ because everyone loves to dance at weddings.
Ben Stirling is a professional wedding photographer who covers the UK and South of France, capturing the natural ambiance of your day with that extra ceativity either by himself or with his wife and partner Sarah.

I need the code for the remote 20.
I am trying to find out how to program my RCA surround sound and dvd player in one to work with the 20.1 IR remote. I have tried all the codes in the book and none have worked. I have tried using the up arrow method on dvd and it hasn't worked. I want to know if this would be considered an aux device and what would I enter if it was or... I don't know any more. I would just love to get it to work with the 20.1 IR to control everything. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys
Thanks for all the help last fall. Our landowner (GMU 8) has First season open (we went third season in 2013) and we are thinking of giving it a try. This place has resident elk in my opinion. I don't think there were migrating elk but I suppose its possible. I say that because I didn't see any migrating. They just seemed to be herded up and moving with the wind.
Anyway, I'm wondering what you sage men think of Colorado's first season. Better, worse, just different and if so, how?

Rated 1 out of 5Â by mandrake7317 Nothing good to say This machine has enough design flaws to sink any product line and service requires huge amounts of money January 11, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5Â by obone Dryer drawback I have one of these machines for about 4 years now. About every other month I have to go in and remove the condenser and clean the lint out of it to keep the dryer working. I have gotten good at it and it takes about 1 hour. The unit does not have a lint screen and it is just poor design. Imagine a regular dryer without a lint screen. Well this system just doesn't have a way to handle lint and eventually the dryer airflow is not enough and the system throws a code 13. I only keep the machine because it fits my space and every other part of the machine has held up to daily use. December 29, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by lacretia86 not even a month an problems Washer works well.. however dryer isn't even there. Its keeps saying err 13. I lifted the machine an put it up higher. Emptyed the filter which was nothing but water.. now I have a flood. After googling I think I might have found something that works. A cup of vinegar in the laundry detergent slogan running a regular cycle.. seemed to loosen the lint an make it drain properly. Tomorrow I'm going to cut the drain pipe for my house so it will drain out better an look for a clog in the hose. Haven't even made a payment yet. 1200 later an problems December 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Jgalvan36 Great for my situation Bought my first home but no washer dryer hookups so the sellers included this in the sale to meet in the middle. Has my doubts after reading several reviews but after properly hooking up to separate hot and cold connections and using for the first time i am very impressed. If you use it correct and do not overload the drum it works great yes the dryer takes longer but still it's freaking awesom that's it's both! So far I love it and it will get me by until I can afford a normal setup. November 26, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5Â by youraverageuser Good product but a few issues I purchased this machine about a year and a half ago. had a few issues with it not drying to well but that was because I overfilled it. It handles washing very good but drying it takes about 2 hours. The machine can wash and dry 2 large towels, washing and drying 3 large towels you would have to hang dry them. I have had issues with the door lock not locking and have had to wiggle the door to get the switch to work to have the machine lock but other than that no other issues. In my words it is a decent machine for the price. November 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by chuckie Great product I have read all the recommendations. I have conclude that some people just don't get it. I love the way it operates. the time cycle ,washing and drying is OK as I am not going any where. We can do housework watch TV and anything else. Great product so far. July 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by BobBarker Great Machine It works really well to clean small loads. The drying is process is what you can expect from a ventless machine. Items come out a slightly damp still but air dry fairly quickly. March 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Brooklyn2014 high quality machine, very long dry cycle This washer/dryer combination machine works great- especially the washer. It's perfect for my apartment since the dryer is ventless and the voltage works with my standard electric outlets. The washing machine is excellent, the dryer takes 3-4 hours and I still need to let the clothes hang dry for a few hours afterward. Despite the slow dry cycle, I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

Don't worry! Obama's "got this"
at least that's what he'd like us to think.
Meanwhile, if it's up to him and the Ds to save the EPA, I'd say it's toast.
A blog (from "web blog") is a discussion or informational site consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed newest first. All Corrente posts are front-paged; there is no up-rate or down-rate process. Corrente posts are almost entirely community moderated. We encourage a clash of ideas, and do not encourage a clash of persons.
If you are the author of this post, see the Edit tab ad Help (and Advanced Help) for detailed documentation.
In light of the pending EPA budget cuts, the citizens of the United States now face the real possibility of what would amount to a "stop-work order" on the 40 year old, extremely beneficial (benefits that outweigh costs at a 40:1 ratio) Clean Air Act.
Senator James Inhofe has spearheaded a movement that would essentially eliminate the EPA's flagship regulation; one that has effectively protected the public health for decades. The Clean Air Act has drastically reduced harmful pollution; specifically greenhouse gases. This nefarious proposal will prolong America's addiction to oil and other ancient energy technologies. Any forward movement towards a cleaner, progressive energy economy will vanish overnight.
Inhofe's proposed Energy Tax Prevention Act of 2011 would force the EPA to watch idly as the big oil and coal companies ravage the environment. Accountability will be a thing of the past for polluters. As a house floor battle over the GOP-led bill unfolds this Wednesday, the fate of The Clean Air Act will soon be determined.
The House Rules Committee on Tuesday evening released the ground rules for the debate that is to take place regarding the issue. Interestingly enough, the House lawmakers will be forced to vote on record about whether they believe humans are causing climate change. In fact, a proposal from Rep Henry Waxman will undergo a vote that would add a section to the Energy Tax Prevention Act, stating:
"Congress accepts the scientific findings of the Environmental Protection Agency that climate changes is occurring, is caused largely by human activities, and poses significant risks for public health and welfare."
How is that for some accountability? With an overwhelming scientific consensus that global warming is occurring due to human actions – mostly in part due to the burning of coal and oil – it seems like the proponents of this bill are willingly thumbing their nose at the environment. They want to cripple The Clean Air act so that greenhouse gas regulation is a thing of the past.
Furthermore, the EPA has stated that 160,000 cases of premature death, 130,000 heart attacks, 1.7 million asthma attacks, and 13 million lost work days have been prevented due to initiatives such as The Clean Air Act. It was these very same regulations that have contributed to the extremely low number of mesothelioma related deaths, dropping the annual rate down to under 3000 per year. This statistic alone is a remarkable feat, considering the mesothelioma life expectancy is shorter than 14 months at most.
But still, the bill's backers continue to focus on what they believe will be job losses and other economic hardships that will result from EPA regulations. Rather than keeping an eye on the future, GOP lawmakers are seeking a quick fix. When has that ever been a good idea?
at least that's what he'd like us to think.
