Taz on leaving TNA
Josh Mathews paying off
While it is still pretty early on, it appears that the return on investment for Josh Mathews has been a rather good one for TNA. He is doing a tremendous job of being a one man commentating team after the departure of Taz. The company might have been in a bind had it just been Mike Tenay out there by himself. While he is one of the most knowledgeable guys to ever do the job, Tenay is a guy that works much better when there is a color commentator.

Shane Helms as a commentator
When Tommy Dreamer gave Shane Helms a chance to be a commentator for House of Hardcore, a new career opportunity was opened. Rumors are now floating around that TNA is considering Helms as a potential replacement for Taz, who recently parted ways with the company. Helms was recently added to the front office as an agent and producer, but a change could be made if management deems him to be the best option to join Josh Mathews.

Taz leaving TNA
To clear the air, Taz revealed some details about his departure from TNA. He stated that his contract was up later on this summer, and he already had plans of moving on to do something else. The former world heavyweight champion stated that his decision to ask for a release was purely related to business. It was not personal, and he refuses to bash the company. The New York native also mentioned that he has no issues with Josh Mathews, whom he praises.

Taz to House of Hardcore
While it is way too early for anything to be finalized, the speculation is that Taz is indeed a candidate to become one of the commentators for House of Hardcore now that Tommy Dreamer has managed to pull off an international television deal for his promotion. No word yet on if he has a non compete clause with TNA, but Dreamer works for the company, so he might be able to convince the front office to let the move happen.

Taz leaves TNA
Looks like Taz and TNA could not work things out after all. The longtime commentator has decided to walk away from the company that he has been working with since 2009. While there are rumors floating around that he was upset with the front office because of late payment, there are also talks that the two sides simply could not come to a financial agreement on a new contract. He is said to be leaving on good terms.

Taz and TNA issues
There is some backstage heat currently between Taz and TNA. Reports have stated that he purposely skipped a voice over session for a taped episode of Impact Wrestling. It is said that he absolutely refused to get on his flight from New York City to Nashville because he was upset that his pay check was late. Josh Mathews ended up working the episode alone. There are talks that Al Snow could be the replacement commentator if needed.

I am SO excited to announce you to today's guest blogger, Carly from Createlive. Carly has such a fun and cute blog filled with amazing posts. She is here to share a mouth watering recipe with all of us today! You are in for a real treat!…in more ways than one! :) Take it away Carly!….
I'm Carly from Createlive, where I blog daily and focus on DIY, decor, fitness, and last but certainly not least, finding delicious ways to put a healthy spin on food. Today's recipe is Nutella Cookie Dough Cupcakes.
Hmm. A couple things.
Thing number one… it's hard to ignore the Nutella trend going on. I'm seeing it on Pinterest almost daily. So, finally, I tried it. My reaction? Picture a 3 year old shoving food in their mouth. Yeah, that was me. I know, lovely visual, right? ;)
Thing number two.. cookie dough is delicious but I'm not a huge cookie dough person. After making Cookie Dough Dip using Chickpeas, I was determined to continue making this delicious treat… but I can't bring myself to make the exact same recipe over and over and over. Gotta reinvent. It's an addiction of some sort.So… how do I combine Cookie Dough Dip with Nutella? Put it in a cupcake? Hmmm… it does sound like a great idea… and, as it turns out, 'twas. Don't you love when that happens?
Ingredients…for the cake:
1 package Yellow Cake Mix
1 can La Croix (or Sparkling Water)
for the Homemade Cookie Dough:
1 can Chick Peas, drained
3 tablespoons Cashew butter (or Almond butter. Peanut butter also works but definitely adds a peanut-ey taste).
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup Chocolate Chips
for the icing:
1 tub Cool Whip
3 tablespoons Nutella
Preheat oven to 350.
In a mixing bowl, combine cake ingredients until well mixed. Pour 2/3 into paper-lined cupcake tin and bake for 18-22 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine all cookie dough ingredients — EXCEPT for chocolate chips — in a bowl and mix well. I used a magic bullet but wouldn't be surprised if a high powered blender is also effective. I've also tried using a hand-held blender and have to say that's probably my favorite method.
Once there are no longer any visible whole chick peas, add chocolate chips and stir.
Remove cupcakes from the oven and let cool. Then, using the back-end of a frosting tip (a knife or spoon will also work), remove a hole in the center that is less than an inch deep.
Fill hole with cookie dough. I used two spoons to do this but am thinking that it would also work in a ziplock bag with an end corner cut off. Leave a bit of cookie dough poking out the top as an obvious sign of what's inside.
To prepare frosting, combine cool whip and nutella and mix on medium for 1 minute. Scrape unmixed parts down into the bowl and then mix on high for 2 minutes or until all frosting has become a consistent color.
Pipe frosting around the cupcake. I chose not to cover the cookie dough, because I was making a few different types of cupcakes this day and wanted it to be easy to keep track of which was which.
**For best results, refrigerate cupcakes when they're not being consumed!**
Don't those look absolutely AMAZING?!
Thank you so much Carly for coming to visit today to share this incredible recipe!
If you haven't yet, be sure and check out Createlive and let her know Chef in Training sent you :)

"Bianchi Day Rider"
Day Rider.jpg
Id like to give my impressions of my Day Rider. When I started riding 3 months ago, I had an old and venerable Trek 820 mountain bike. I really liked it, but given that I was riding a lot of miles on paved paths and roads, I decided I needed something a little more fit for the type of riding I was doing. So, the 820 was given to my son and I decided to get a Trek FX 7.3. I enjoyed the heck out of the FX, but after my first metric century on it, I decided I needed a road bike.
About that time, I was in a bike shop and noticed the colour Celeste. It was a used 2006 Bianchi Eros. Ive always liked light green, and that was the colour that turned my eye. The fact that I spend a lot of time in Greece, and "Eros" is the Greek god of passion didn't hurt my attraction to the bike. I gave it a try and I thought the ride qualities of the steel frame were fantastic compared to the aluminum of the Trek FX. So I bought it for about ½ the price of a new bike.
My goal was to have a comfortable bike that I could ride all day and carry enough gear to get me through the day, without support, when needed. The bike is stock except for a shorter, higher stem, a kick stand and the Bontrager Interchange rack on the back. I went with the shorter higher stem because I thought it would create a more comfortable ride. I was wrong! Although the hoods are just right, I am a bit cramped at the top position. I can move the hoods, but I cant move the top position without changing the stem. Ive ordered a new stem that will stretch me out a bit, will probably be almost as high and, I think, will be more comfortable on the long rides.
The Eros has a Campagnolo Mirage group for the drive train and the brakes. I dont know where that group fits in the overall scheme of things, but I can tell you it beats the Shimano Deore thats on my Trek FX. Its very smooth, in comparison, and is very quiet and has operated flawlessly. I, especially, like the brakes as they are quiet, smooth and grip great. It came with a Mavic wheel set and Vittoria tires. The tires were a bit worn, so, after the first flat, I bought new tires. The bike is smooth down the road.
The Bianchi fits everything I need on a bike. Its quite a bit faster than the FX and I can ride it all day long. With the Bontrager rack and trunk bag, I can fit rain gear, a sweater, a multi tool, a flat tire kit and enough food to get me through the day if Im not near a restaurant. I love the bike.
My wife is both very athletic and very competitive. She was a super athlete in her younger days and cant stand not beating me at most things we do. She couldnt keep up with me when I was riding my Bianchi and she was on her mountain bike. She didnt want anything to do with a road bike, until she realized she couldnt keep up with me. Then, she started worrying about, just maybe, she was getting old and wouldnt be able to do the things she loves to do. Not to worry!! Last weekend, I switched bikes with her, dropped the seat on my Bianchi and took off down the bike path. I lost sight of her. All of a sudden, she was all smiles and she admitted her fears of becoming old. Shes now after a new bike, Ill have to get used to her beating me again. Aint it great!!
So, all in all, biking has made an amazing difference in my quality of life. Ive lost 27 lbs., I fit into clothes I havent worn in years and I feel very fit. My wife is getting into biking now, and I can see the both of us spending a lot of time together riding the paths and roads of Northern Michigan.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - A private attorney representing the Belmont County Commission filed court action Wednesday seeking enforcement of a 1999 court order requiring the owner of a proposed development near the Ohio Valley Plaza to improve an access road there.
Richland Township Road 678, also known as Newlin Road, connects U.S. 40 with the Ohio Valley Plaza area, and has been at the center of discussion in Belmont County as commissioners debate the $1.9 million funding of building a new connector road in its place.
The new road would begin near the All Fore One miniature golf course along U.S. 40, then extend west of the Ohio Valley Plaza behind Sam's Club and wind behind the Lowe's Home Improvement store. It would link up with a roadway being constructed behind the Ohio Valley Mall by the Cafaro Company, owners of the mall, and an ODOT project to extend the new highway to Mall Road.

Property owner Bob Stewart speaks about the Mall Road/U.S. 40 road connector project during Wednesday's Belmont County Commission meeting.
Commissioners Ginny Favede and Charles Probst have been reluctant to transfer the $1.9 million for the project since learning of a 1999 filing in Belmont County Common Pleas Court in which Lou Stein - owner of the property west of the Ohio Valley Plaza - had agreed to upgrade Newlin Road as part of an access agreement with the Stewart family - owners of property along U.S. 40. No work has been done to the road since the agreement was signed.
Commissioner Matt Coffland, meanwhile, has twice made motions to transfer the $1.9 million for the road project, and both motions died from a lack of a second.
Commissioners began their Wednesday meeting with a 40-minute executive session to discuss a "court action exemption." After this, Favede and Probst voted in favor of hiring the Columbus law firm of Isaac, Wiles, Burkholder and Teetor as outside counsel to represent the commission in matters pertaining to the 1999 court case. Coffland voted against the hiring.
Immediately after the vote, attorney Aaron Glasgow with firm left commission chambers to file the court action upstairs. His filing asks the Belmont County Common Pleas Court to enforce the provisions of the 1999 court agreement requiring Stein to pay for improvements to Newlin Road.
Retired Western Division Court Judge Harry White next addressed the commissioners. He represents Equity, a firm developing Stein's property, now called "St. Clair Commons."
He told commissioners Equity "is ready, willing and able to work with stakeholders to assure the expeditious construction" of the connector road. White said the road was never improved by Stein because interest in development there "did not materialize," and the work was never necessary.
Because "there is now active economic and real estate development in the area, an improved traffic system is essential for safety, seamless flow and convenience," he said. "Consequently, this is the right time for all interested public and private parties to work with ODOT to assure the timely construction of the road, bridge and the infrastructure necessary to support them."
Property owner Bob Stewart expressed concern that a large amount of his land will be taken to build the connector road, which must conform to federal specifications. He added he isn't opposed to development in the area, but he hopes a compromise can be reached.
"This isn't a township road - this is a very large highway development that could go through my side yard, and my front yard," Stewart said. "I realize there is an easement with the state there, but it's also going to take away two parcels off of my business property - my miniature golf course. None of that's being heard."

Facebook recently stated their stats show that on average, only 16% of a brand Page's fans see their posts. I'm not disputing that number but let's analyze what it really means, because honestly, it doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of your Facebook business Page.
First, that number is an average and since I'm sure the majority of the Pages that have been created aren't being run effectively, the numbers from those Pages are going to kill the overall average. Instead of focusing on what Facebook says, look at your own Insights and figure out your actual percentage. My average post Reach is about 30%. Some are way higher and some are lower, depending on lots of variables, like the content, the time of day they were posted, etc., but on average, about 30%.
Second: The 16% Facebook is talking about refers only to the percentage of people who have Liked your Page, but even if that does coincidentally happen to be the same as your Page's Reach it's probable that a lot more people are seeing your posts than you think.
When you look at your stats you'll notice that Facebook shows you how many people see your posts virally. Those are people who may not have Liked your Page but are seeing your posts in their newsfeeds because your posts were liked, commented on or shared by their friends. Additionally, your Page may have been added to some Interest Lists, in which case, anyone who subscribes to those lists will see your posts and can engage with them even though they haven't Liked your Page. It's also possible for people to see your posts in your Timeline without Liking your Page.
In my screenshot you can see that according to Facebook, 33% of the "people who like your page saw this post". Those are the people Facebook is referring to when they say your posts may only be seen by 16% of your fans. Obviously it's in their best interest to get everyone hysterical about that number so they'll start paying to promote their posts, but I'm suggesting that you take the time to analyze your actual situation and consider how many people are really seeing your posts before you start paying to have them seen. And no, I'm not saying there aren't good reasons to promote a post, just that you shouldn't think you have to.
Here are the actual numbers of people who saw the post in my screenshot:
My Fans – 1,438 or 33%
Viral (friends of fans) – 470
Total Unique People – 2,460
At this moment I have 4,359 fans and my story reached 2,460 people so, does it really matter to me that it wasn't 56% of my fans but the same number of both fans and non fans that saw my post? Not really. Especially since the more non fans who see my post the better chances I have of turning them into fans.

Security upgrades ongoing, but some argue more needs to be done.
The unusual activity began two weeks before the attack. Officials from the Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis, which had begun monitoring Internet nameserver behavior at the start of 2002, noticed varying levels of performance degradation in early October of that year. Little did they realize that on Oct. 21 they would witness a flood of ping messages on the Internet's 13 DNS root nameservers that would cause the most notorious denial-of-service attack on the Internet to this date.
"It was an attempt to make a massive problem," says KC Claffy, principal investigator at CAIDA . "They certainly made a blip on a graph."
Also: Do we need a Sarbanes-Oxley for the Internet?
But the Internet and its users got off easy. The barrage lasted only an hour, and no end users were affected.
The attack did, however, serve as a wake-up call, as network operators and others have taken steps to better secure the Internet since then. But some still question whether the Internet is susceptible to attack and needs more authoritative oversight.
"If somebody was to do a real concerted, knowledgeable attack, it wouldn't be very difficult to have a catastrophic impact on a huge component of commerce," says Larry Jarvis, vice president of network engineering at Fidelity Investments. "It would be huge to the U.S. economy and to a lot of companies that now view the Internet as the equivalent to a dedicated circuit to all these entities."
Clif Triplett, global technology information officer at General Motors, says he is worried mostly about router and host software bugs, as well as broadcast storms such as distributed DoS (DoS ) attacks bringing down the 'Net.
"I'm highly concerned about it," Triplett says. "If that network is a core piece of your business, I think you're at a risk."
These IT professionals are not alone. Two-thirds of the 1,300 "technology leaders, scholars and analysts" surveyed recently by the Pew Internet & American Life Project said they "expect a major attack on the Internet or the U.S. power grid within the next 10 years."
Experts warn that the 'Net is particularly vulnerable in these areas:
DNS root servers.
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP ) peering points.
Individual router and switch elements.
Host/endpoint operating systems.
The root of the problem
The 13 DNS root servers resolve Internet naming and addressing. If they were knocked out, Internet sites would become inaccessible.
The servers repel distributed DoS attacks every day, operators say. CAIDA research shows that up to 85% of the queries against the DNS servers are "bogus" or repeated from the same host.
The system has been bolstered since the 2002 attack, with root servers now consisting of 50 to 100 physically distributed, highly redundant boxes in 80 locations across 34 countries. In 2002, far fewer servers were located in 13 sites across four countries.
This level of distribution and redundancy makes a complete shutdown of the DNS system unlikely, says Paul Mockapetris, chairman and chief scientist of IP address management vendor Nominum and the inventor of DNS.
The physical servers use Anycast, a routing technique that heightens resiliency by multiplying the number of servers with the same IP address and balancing the load across an army of geographically dispersed systems.
"If I was going to try and arrange a DNS 9/11, it's a very bad target to try and attack because it's so distributed - you'd have to take [the servers] out everywhere," Mockapetris says. "If you took out one root server today, nobody would notice."
But the more distributed a system is, the more difficult it is to defend, notes Stephen Cobb, an independent security consultant who was recently quoted in a Network World column stating a belief that the 'Net can be brought down and kept down for 10 days or more. Cobb say the 'Net is up only because of the moral high ground of those who know how to bring it down.
"I just don't think technologically we can ever harden the Internet to where it's invulnerable to intelligent, determined people," he says. "The reason it hasn't gone down for days so far is that the people who know how to do it aren't so inclined."
However, the good guys are inclined to implement security best practices, like those outlined in an IETF informational document on root server operation called RFC 2870 , says Jose Nazario, security researcher and senior software engineer at Arbor Networks, which makes products carriers use to protect their networks from cyberattacks. Originally drafted in 2000, RFC 2870 has been extended over the past couple of years.
Even so, experts don't discount the possibility of another attack equal to or exceeding the scope of the October 2002 event. But they also are confident that the DNS root servers and Internet users will experience minimal disruption.
"There's no way to get them all with truck bombs; there's no way to get them all with a single attack; and there's no way to keep an attack going long enough that I could not usefully counteract it," says Paul Vixie, president of the Internet Systems Consortium, which also operates the DNS F root server. "It's better for me to simply not accept any traffic from [the attacker] even though I will be losing a certain number of Web hits. As soon as you rendered the attack worthless, then it's actually in the attacker's best interests to stop launching it because otherwise you will trace it back."
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN ) is responsible for top-level coordination and global policy-making for the DNS, and plays a central role in assuring the integrity and stability of the system.
"Taking out the whole Internet for 10 days - I'm a little skeptical," says Steve Bellovin, a computer science professor at Columbia University, former researcher at AT&T Labs and a member of ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory committee. "If you look at the kinds of attacks we've had thus far - worms and [distributed] DoS attacks - many of these things have had noticeable impact in the short run but they weren't too hard to counter."
Routing around catastrophe
Bellovin and others are not as confident about the routing infrastructure. Cisco, the leading provider of Internet routers, regularly issues bug alerts. And BGP, which distributes routing information between networks on the Internet, is susceptible to IP address spoofing.
"BGP peering has some security problems," says Sam Hartman, area director for the IETF's Security Area working group. "What's there now is hard to configure, and it's something that the community has identified as a real problem. You're not just depending on the security of the person you're directly connected to; you're also depending to some extent on the security of the people that are connected to them."
Work has been underway for a while on methods to authenticate BGP route advertisements. Secure BGP (S-BGP) has been incubating for more than eight years and its alternative, Secure Origin BGP (soBGP), is also a multiyear effort. Yet these proposals are not implemented because router vendors have not incorporated them into their products - they say BGP already has enough integral security features that can be exploited through proper implementation.
There also are concerns among service providers about router load and overhead and the effect on customer service-level agreements from weighty specifications such as S-BGP and soBGP .
"The workload gets significantly higher, and it's kind of a turnoff for the people who are not major core operators," Arbor's Nazario says.
Many ISPs implement TCP MD5 cryptographic hashing (RFC 2385) to authenticate BGP data. But it's not a mandate. Operators can choose not to turn on the techniques for various reasons, such as router performance degradation.
"But [MD5] is easy to deploy in a hurry if the link starts being attacked," says Scott Bradner, university technology security officer at Harvard University and a network design and security consultant. Bradner is also a Network World columnist .
IPSec also can be used as an alternative to MD5 to add some level of protection to the BGP transport connection, experts say. Operators can implement infrastructure access control lists, BGP/Generalized TTL Security Hack - which is designed to protect against CPU overload-based attacks - prefix filters and priority queuing for control plane traffic, they say.
There also is an informational IETF document - RFC 3882 - on configuring BGP to block DoS attacks.
Hardware needs hardening
Routers themselves also are patched quickly when software bugs are discovered, Bradner says, despite - and thanks to - the frequency at which they occur. Cisco has regularly reported distributed DoS vulnerabilities in its IOS software over the years. But the fact that the vendor has reported them and recommended patches in a timely manner has helped keep disruptive events to a minimum.
Still, that's little solace to GM's Triplett. He says more and more telecom operators run the latest versions of routing software not only to get new features but also to maintain release consistency to better alleviate bugs.
But the latest software is usually the buggiest - the Release 1.0 conundrum.
"This is kind of a Catch-22 situation," Triplett says. "All of a sudden, if they all get on the same release . . . you can almost start having an effect similar to what we saw on the power grid" in the Northeast two years ago, with the ripple effect electrical blackout.
For that reason, Triplett and other experts consider the 'Net's routing infrastructure - the BGP protocol and the routers themselves - to be its most vulnerable parts. Work continues to improve routing security through the IETF's Routing Protocol Security (RPSec ) working group, which has published new documents on generic threats and security requirements for routing protocols, and Open Shortest Path First vulnerabilities within the past six months.
RPSec plans to continue to evaluate and document current and proposed routing security mechanisms. Meanwhile, U.S. CERT under the Department of Homeland Security continues to post vulnerability alerts on Cisco and Juniper routers, in addition to other cyberthreats.
Software bugs also are a problem for Internet hosts and endpoints. Indeed, the majority of worms and other successful cyberattacks are made possible by vulnerabilities in a small number of common operating system services on Internet hosts, according to The SANS Institute , a security training and certification organization that annually publishes a Top 20 Internet security vulnerability list.
"If you want to hurt the network you attack the routers; but if you want to hurt the people using the network, then the operating systems right now are the main attack vector," says Alan Paller, director of research at SANS.
The spread of infamous worms such as Blaster, Slammer and Code Red can be traced directly to exploitation of unpatched vulnerabilities, according to SANS. Attackers scanning the Internet for vulnerable systems count on major corporations not fixing the problems.
But the problems are not theirs to fix, Paller says.
"Vendors have complete responsibility," he says, adding that product vendors and ISPs should work more closely to better secure host operating systems.
The operating system vulnerabilities have minimal effect on the security of the 'Net infrastructure, as Paller noted. However, they serve as the primary attack vehicle for those looking to disrupt specific sites.
With that, SANS publishes patches and workarounds for the Top 20 vulnerabilities. Also, Microsoft continues to work on Windows patch management tools, code to thwart worms and hackers, and acquisitions of anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-spam companies.
Microsoft also has offered to work more closely with governments around the world on detecting and mitigating IT security threats.
Meanwhile, open source developers and vendors continue to develop their own patch management tools.
Internet watchers say the network of networks remains vulnerable to attack but is in better shape than it was two-and-a-half years ago.
"There are a number of things that could have a multi-hour major impact, but I doubt very much that there is anything that would have even as much as a day's impact over any significant chunk of the 'Net," Harvard's Bradner says.
Those operating and securing the Internet insist it's no more vulnerable than any other business-critical infrastructure.
If the 'Net went down, "it would be another disaster, just like many of the natural disasters," IETF's Hartman says. "But business is about managing those risks."
Still, it's a risk that perhaps warrants more continual attention than any other.
"I just think we're putting a lot of eggs into a basket that doesn't have enough control around it," Fidelity's Jarvis says.

"Robert" and "Bob" refer to the same first name but are textually far apart. Traditional string similarity functions do not allow a flexible way to account for such synonyms, abbreviations and aliases. Recently, string transformations have been proposed as a mechanism to make matching robust to such variations. However, in many domains, identifying an appropriate set of transformations is challenging as the space of possible transformations is large. In this paper, we investigate the problem of leveraging examples of matching strings to learn string transformations. We formulate an optimization problem where we are required to learn a concise set of transformations that explain most of the differences. We propose a greedy approximation algorithm for this NP-hard problem. Our experiments over real-life data illustrate the benefits of our approach.

Pakistan: Bail delayed in Christian blasphemy case
ISLAMABAD (AP)-A judge hearing the case of a Pakistani Christian girl accused of blasphemy delayed her bail hearing on Thursday after a lawyer questioned a medical report putting the girl's age at 14, suggesting the government had tried to influence it.
The new challenge quashed the possibility that the controversy surrounding the case would be swiftly defused and the girl set free. The case has focused attention on Pakistan's strict blasphemy laws that can result in life in prison or even death.
Christians in her Islamabad neighborhood left the area en masse as soon as the accusations surfaced, fearing retribution from their Muslim neighbors as the case has inflamed religious tensions in this Muslim majority country.
Questions have been raised about her age, whether she is mentally impaired, what exactly she was burning and why. A medical report submitted Tuesday put her age at 14, which would have moved the case to the more lenient juvenile justice system. It said her mental state was even less than that of a 14-year-old, which raised questions about whether she had the capacity to understand her actions.
But a lawyer representing a man accusing the girl of burning the Quran challenged the validity of the report in a court hearing in Islamabad. The room was crowded with lawyers, members of the Christian community and journalists, all standing pressed against the judge's bench as he listened to the lawyers.
Rao Abdur Raheem said the report was ordered by a top city official and completed even before the judge himself ordered it to be carried out. Saying the process was "unduly favoring the accused," he asked the judge to reject it.
Speaking after the hearing, Raheem said supporters of the victim were trying to turn this case into an international issue along the lines of Asia Bibi. The case of Asia Bibi, a Christian woman sentenced to death in 2010 for insulting Islam, gathered massive international attention and criticism for Pakistan's tough anti-blasphemy laws.
The lawyer said the girl had confessed to burning part of a Quran and said he would seek the maximum punishment. He said no one should be allowed to hurt the sentiments of Muslims by desecrating their holy book or by insulting their religious personalities.
"If you burn me, I will forgive you, but if you burn our Quran, then I will fight a legal battle to seek maximum punishment for anyone doing this act," he said. "We will not accept any such thing," he said.
Under the Pakistani legal system, everyday citizens can bring a court case against someone simply by hiring a lawyer. A state prosecutor was also in the courtroom, as were two defense lawyers for the girl, but the proceeding was dominated by Abdur Raheem.
Critics of Pakistan's blasphemy laws say they can be used to settle vendettas or seek retribution. Many of Pakistan's minorities, including Christians, live in fear of being accused of blasphemy.
A defense lawyer for the girl, Tahir Naveed Chaudhry, said the report prepared by a seven-member medical board had not favored the girl, and the government had not tried to influence the doctors in any way.
"We will try our best to get her freed," he said.
The new bail hearing is scheduled for Saturday while the judge seeks clarification on how the report was conducted.

The week saw the release of writer Sajid-Farhad of films like Golmaal Returns, All The Best, Housefull 2, Ready, Golmaal 3, Singham, Bol Bachchan, Chennai Express, to name a few, making their debut into direction with the Akshay Kumar-starrer Entertainment. While they may have proved their mettle in writing comedy films, this was their first attempt at wielding the megaphone and they seemed to have succeeded in their attempt, says Akshay Rathi, Film Distributor and Exhibitionist. Clearly the week has been dominated by Entertainment which did a little over Rs 40 crores over the weekend. It is pretty good for an Akshay Kumar comedy film on a weekend and it has sustained well on Monday, the first day of the week. An Akshay Kumar comedy is normally associated with the mass audience but Entertainment seems to have changed trends.
While the masses came on Friday and Saturday, suddenly they began to disappear and huge chunks of children, women and families started pouring in on Sunday and Monday. It is unbelievable that even on a Monday, in a single screen at Raj Theatre in Raipur, the 3 pm show was houseful. Kids coming in groups or with parents translates into a better collection and thus helping sustain over the weekend. It is like an endorsements of sorts by the tiny toddlers. However, it was a pleasant surprise while being an additional boost to the film, courtesy children. Having said that, it could be more for the love for the dog maybe.
However, trade analyst Vinod Mirani, begs to differ. According to him, Entertainment, which opened to a rather tepid response, continued to remain so; the films word-ofmouth publicity reports were not very complimentary either so there was little hike over the Friday collections on Saturday.
However, the film has been able to manage a-not-so-encouraging Rs 30.9 crore. The film showed little improvement on Saturday but did better on Sunday, improving by about 25 per cent over its Friday figures.
While Koimoi.com registered Rs 11.16 crores for Entertainment on its opening day, the collection went up to Rs 36.69 crores during the weekend and trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, # Entertainment has decent weekend, but weekdays are crucial! # Entertainment Fri 11.16 cr, Sat 11.53 cr, Sun 14 cr. Total: Rs. 36.69 cr nett.

The Who could be set to bring their live show to the UK once again next year.
Pete Townshend has had a difficult year. The guitarist is a notoriously private individual, keeping his guard up through more than four decades of international fame. With the release of his autobiography, though, the songwriter decided to open up in a frank, accessible manner.
Currently tour with The Who, the guitarist has been dropping hints about a potential return to the UK. Despite a one off performance at the Olympics closing ceremony European dates have remained sadly absent on their live itinerary. Posting a new instalment of his tour diary, Pete Townshend has come a close as ever to revealing plans for a British tour in 2013.
The update reads as follows:
- - -
I have been spreading rumours that Rachel and I would be premiering our orchestral version of Quadrophenia at the Royal Albert Hall Teenage Cancer concert in March 2013. Now we have decided that because the Who tour extends into March and probably beyond into April in the UK that it would be too much for me personally. Rachel's score sounds wonderful, and will certainly be premiered some time in 2013 or 2014. More on this later.

During the summer of 2010, the International Association of Defense Counsel hosted Photographer Kat Silverglate to teach her course Purpose Driven Photography in Barcelona Spain. Students were broken into teams representing different photo assignments and then went out into the city to shoot shoot shoot. A few days later, they came back together for a round table lecture about their experience. Each team submitted photos which are now the chapters in this book. While this book is available for public view as a sample of the format for one of Kat's seminars, it is being offered for sale to IADC members and their guests only.

Di Matteo defends Terry, Lampard omissions
Chelsea needed Ashley Cole's first goal in over two years to seal an unconvincing win five minutes from time after a stubborn and disciplined Stoke side had frustrated their hosts at Stamford Bridge for long periods.
Both John Terry and Frank Lampard were introduced as second-half substitutes, but the narrow nature of the victory meant the Roberto Di Matteo's decision to relegate two of his senior stars to the bench was widely questioned.
"We were just utilising the squad," he told reporters.
"We have some good players, and we wanted to bring some fresh ones in.
"We've done it many times before and we'll continue to use the squad, because we play so many games. We don't want to get to November and be burned out.
"John Terry and Frank Lampard are fantastic. They are two big members of the team, two leaders and they lead by example.
"When they are not involved they support me and support the team, and it's a pleasure for me to have players like that.
"Whenever you play against Stoke, it's always so hard to break them down, because they defend with so many men and they're very well drilled.
"If you get an early goal it helps your game massively. If not, it's just hard work to try and find spaces."
Saturday's match also saw Chelsea field Eden Hazard, Juan Mata and Oscar in the same starting line-up for the first time and, while the trio's combinations occasionally hinted at promising things to come, Di Matteo admitted they need more time together on the training pitch to become truly effective.
"It's the first time we have tried them together," he continued.
"It certainly needs more work to be able to tactically integrate them perfectly into our system. They worked well, but it's a question of time and practice for them to get to know each other better."
Di Matteo also dismissed suggestions that Fernando Torres is unhappy, after the Spaniard followed up a petulant reaction to being substituted against QPR with another uninspired display.
"Fernando in a very good mood because he's in a team which is at the top of the league," he insisted.

I'm planning to move the crankset over to a Surly Troll or Ogre so I see even less chance of my using the 48t ring. I would like to replace it with the SLX bash guard but one sight had two reviewers saying it wouldn't even work on their SLX cranksets. The BCD is correct and from my research it sounds like I might need longer bolts. If so, what would these bolts be and where would I get them? I would like to buy a torque wrench and do this myself but will take it to the LBS if it's a complicated process.

Beginning Quotes (78 quotes)
A body of work such as Pasteur's is inconceivable in our time: no man would be given a chance to create a whole science. Nowadays a path is scarcely opened up when the crowd begins to pour in.
All geologic history is full of the beginning and the ends of speciesof their first and last days; but it exhibits no genealogies of development.
All human knowledge begins with intuitions, proceeds from thence to concepts, and ends with ideas.
All the sciences are, in some measure, linked with each other, and before the one is ended, the other begins.
And do you know what 'the world' is to me? Shall I,show it to you in my mirror? This world: a monster of energy, without beginning, without end; a firm, iron magnitude of force that does not grow bigger or smaller, that does not expend itself but only transforms itself; as a whole, of unalterable size, a household without expenses or losses, but likewise without increase or income; enclosed by 'nothingness' as by a boundary; not by something blurry or wasted, not something endlessly extended, but set in a definite space as a definite force, and not a space that might be 'empty' here or there, but rather as force throughout, as a play of forces and waves of forces, at the same time one and many, increasing here and at the same time decreasing there; a sea of forces flowing and rushing together, eternally changing, eternally flooding back, with tremendous years of recurrence, with an ebb and a flood of its forms; out of the simplest forms striving toward the most complex, out of the stillest, most rigid, coldest forms toward the hottest, most turbulent, most self-contradictory, and then again returning home to the simple out of this abundance, out of the play of contradictions back to the joy of concord, still affirming itself in this uniformity of its courses and its years, blessing itself as that which must return eternally, as a becoming that knows no satiety, no disgust, no weariness: this, my Dionysian world of the eternally self-creating, the eternally self-destroying, this mystery world of the twofold voluptuous delight, my 'beyond good and evil,' without goal, unless the joy of the circle itself is a goal; without will, unless a ring feels good will toward itself-do you want a name for this world? A solution for all its riddles? A light for you, too, you best-concealed, strongest, most intrepid, most midnightly men?—This world is the will to power—and nothing besides! And you yourselves are also this will to power—and nothing besides!
As evolutionary time is measured, we have only just turned up and have hardly had time to catch breath, still marveling at our thumbs, still learning to use the brand-new gift of language. Being so young, we can be excused all sorts of folly and can permit ourselves the hope that someday, as a species, we will begin to grow up.
At the end of the book [Zoonomia] he sums up his [Erasmus Darwin] views in the following sentences: The world has been evolved, not created: it has arisen little by little from a small beginning, and has increased through the activity of the elemental forces embodied in itself, and so has rather grown than come into being at an almighty word. What a sublime idea of the infinite might of the great Architect, the Cause of all causes, the Father of all fathers, the Ens Entium! For if we would compare the Infinite, it would surely require a greater Infinite to cause the causes of effects than to produce the effects themselves.
[This is a restatement, not a verbatim quote of the original words of Erasmus Darwin, who attributed the idea he summarized to David Hume.]
[This is a restatement, not a verbatim quote of the original words of Erasmus Darwin, who attributed the idea he summarized to David Hume.]
Both Religion and science require faith in God. For believers, God is in the beginning, and for physicists He is at the end of all considerations.
Bread has been made (indifferent) from potatoes;

Doubt is the beginning, not the end, of wisdom.
Ever so often in the history of human endeavour, there comes a breakthrough that takes humankind across a frontier into a new era. ... today's announcement is such a breakthrough, a breakthrough that opens the way for massive advancement in the treatment of cancer and hereditary diseases. And that is only the beginning.
Every phenomenon, however trifling it be, has a cause, and a mind infinitely powerful, and infinitely well-informed concerning the laws of nature could have foreseen it from the beginning of the ages. If a being with such a mind existed, we could play no game of chance with him; we should always lose.
Experience is never at fault; it is only your judgment that is in error in promising itself such results from experience as are not caused by our experiments. For having given a beginning, what follows from it must necessarily be a natural development of such a beginning, unless it has been subject to a contrary influence, while, if it is affected by any contrary influence, the result which ought to follow from the aforesaid beginning will be found to partake of this contrary influence in a greater or less degree in proportion as the said influence is more or less powerful than the aforesaid beginning.
Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom, in the pursuit of truth as in the endeavour after a worthy manner of life.
For what are the whales being killed? For a few hundred jobs and products that are not needed, since there are cheap substitutes. If this continues, it will be the end of living and the beginning of survival. The world is being totaled.
From his observations, he concluded that it [Tycho's supernova] was not some kind of comet or a fiery meteor, whether these be generated beneath the Moon or above the Moon, but that it is a star shining in the firmament itself - one that has never previously been seen before our time, in any age since the beginning of the world.
Here and elsewhere we shall not obtain the best insight into things until we actually see them growing from the beginning.
How strange it would be if the final theory were to be discovered in our lifetimes! The discovery of the final laws of nature will mark a discontinuity in human intellectual history, the sharpest that has occurred since the beginning of modern science in the seventeenth century. Can we now imagine what that would be like?
I am entitled to say, if I like, that awareness exists in all the individual creatures on the planetworms, sea urchins, gnats, whales, subhuman primates, superprimate humans, the lot. I can say this because we do not know what we are talking about: consciousness is so much a total mystery for our own species that we cannot begin to guess about its existence in others.
I dont dawdle. I'm a surgeon. I make an incision, do what needs to be done and sew up the wound. There is a beginning, a middle, and an end.
[On writing.]
[On writing.]
I had begun it, it will now be unnecessary for me to finish it.[At a late age, expressing his enthusiasm for mathematics had gone, as when informed of some other mathematician's current work.]
I need scarcely say that the beginning and maintenance of life on earth is absolutely and infinitely beyond the range of sound speculation in dynamical science.
I then began to study arithmetical questions without any great apparent result, and without suspecting that they could have the least connexion with my previous researches. Disgusted at my want of success, I went away to spend a few days at the seaside, and thought of entirely different things. One day, as I was walking on the cliff, the idea came to me, again with the same characteristics of conciseness, suddenness, and immediate certainty, that arithmetical transformations of indefinite ternary quadratic forms are identical with those of non-Euclidian geometry.
If physics leads us today to a world view which is essentially mystical, it returns, in a way, to its beginning, 2,500 years ago. ... This time, however, it is not only based on intuition, but also on experiments of great precision and sophistication, and on a rigorous and consistent mathematical formalism.
If there is an underlying oneness of all things, it does not matter where we begin, whether with stars, or laws of supply and demand, or frogs, or Napoleon Bonaparte. One measures a circle, beginning anywhere.
Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.
In my work I now have the comfortable feeling that I am so to speak on my own ground and territory and almost certainly not competing in an anxious race and that I shall not suddenly read in the literature that someone else had done it all long ago. It is really at this point that the pleasure of research begins, when one is, so to speak, alone with nature and no longer worries about human opinions, views and demands. To put it in a way that is more learned than clear: the philological aspect drops out and only the philosophical remains.
In science its main worth is temporary, as a stepping-stone to something beyond. Even the Principia, as Newton with characteristic modesty entitled his great work, is truly but the beginning of a natural philosophy, and no more an ultimate work, than Watts steam-engine, or Arkwright's spinning-machine.
In the beginning (if there was such a thing), God created Newtons laws of motion together with the necessary masses and forces. This is all; everything beyond this follows from the development of appropriate mathematical methods by means of deduction.
In the beginning there were only probabilities. The universe could only come into existence if someone observed it. It does not matter that the observers turned up several billion years later. The universe exists because we are aware of it.
In the beginning was the book of Nature. For eon after eon, the pages of the book turned with no human to read them. No eye wondered at the ignition of the sun, the coagulation of the earth, the birth of the moon, the solidification of a terrestrial continent, or the filling of the seas. Yet when the first primitive algae evolved to float on the waters of this ocean, a promise was borna hope that someday all the richness and variety of the phenomena of the universe would be read with appreciative eyes.
In these days of conflict between ancient and modern studies, there must surely be something to be said for a study which did not begin with Pythagoras, and will not end with Einstein, but is the oldest and the youngest of all.
It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.
It is a common observation that a science first begins to be exact when it is quantitatively treated. What are called the exact sciences are no others than the mathematical ones.
It is God who is the ultimate reason things, and the Knowledge of God is no less the beginning of science than his essence and will are the beginning of things.
It is very difficult to say nowadays where the suburbs of London come to an end and where the country begins. The railways, instead of enabling Londoners to live in the country have turned the countryside into a city.
It... [can] be easily shown:
1. That all present mountains did not exist from the beginning of things.
2. That there is no growing of mountains.
3. That the rocks or mountains have nothing in common with the bones of animals except a certain resemblance in hardness, since they agree in neither matter nor manner of production, nor in composition, nor in function, if one may be permitted to affirm aught about a subject otherwise so little known as are the functions of things.
4. That the extension of crests of mountains, or chains, as some prefer to call them, along the lines of certain definite zones of the earth, accords with neither reason nor experience.
5. That mountains can be overthrown, and fields carried over from one side of a high road across to the other; that peaks of mountains can be raised and lowered, that the earth can be opened and closed again, and that other things of this kind occur which those who in their reading of history wish to escape the name of credulous, consider myths.

Logic, logic, logic. Logic is the beginning of wisdom, Valeris, not the end.
Mathematics certainly would never have come into existence if mankind had known from the beginning that in all nature there is no perfectly straight line, no true circle, no standard of measurement.
Modern masters of science are much impressed with the need of beginning all inquiry with a fact. The ancient masters of religion were quite equally impressed with that necessity. They began with the fact of sina fact as practical as potatoes. Whether or not man could be washed in miraculous waters, there was no doubt at any rate that he wanted washing.
Modern theories did not arise from revolutionary ideas which have been, so to speak, introduced into the exact sciences from without. On the contrary they have forced their way into research which was attempting consistently to carry out the programme of classical physicsthey arise out of its very nature. It is for this reason that the beginnings of modern physics cannot be compared with the great upheavals of previous periods like the achievements of Copernicus. Copernicuss idea was much more an import from outside into the concepts of the science of his time, and therefore caused far more telling changes in science than the ideas of modern physics are creating to-day.
My interest in the sciences started with mathematics in the very beginning, and later with chemistry in early high school and the proverbial home chemistry set.
My present and most fixed opinion regarding the nature of alcoholic fermentation is this: The chemical act of fermentation is essentially a phenomenon correlative with a vital act, beginning and ending with the latter. I believe that there is never any alcoholic fermentation without their being simultaneously the organization, development, multiplication of the globules, or the pursued, continued life of globules which are already formed.
New ideas seem like frightening ghosts to people at the beginning; they run away from them for a long time, but they get tired of it in the end!
No creature is too bulky or formidable for man's destructive energiesnone too minute and insignificant for his keen detection and skill of capture. It was ordained from the beginning that we should be the masters and subduers of all inferior animals. Let us remember, however, that we ourselves, like the creatures we slay, subjugate, and modify, are the results of the same Almighty creative willtemporary sojourners here, and co-tenants with the worm and the whale of one small planet. In the exercise, therefore, of those superior powers that have been intrusted to us, let us ever bear in mind that our responsibilities are heightened in proportion.
Not all is doom and gloom. We are beginning to understand the natural world and are gaining a reverence for life - all life.
One of the grandest generalizations formulated by modern biological science is that of the continuity of life; the protoplasmic activity within each living body now on earth has continued without cessation from the remote beginnings of life on our planet, and from that period until the present no single organism has ever arisen save in the form of a bit of living protoplasm detached from a pre-existing portion; the eternal flame of life once kindled upon this earth has passed from organism to organism, and is still, going on existing and propagating, incarnated within the myriad animal and plant forms of everyday life.
See, thro' this air, this ocean, and this earth,
All matter quick, and bursting into birth.
Above, how high progressive life may go!
Around, how wide! how deep extend below!
Vast chain of being, which from God began,
Natures ethereal, human, angel, man,
Beast, bird, fish, insect! what no eye can see,
No glass can reach! from Infinite to thee,
From thee to Nothing—On superior pow'rs
Were we to press, inferior might on ours:
Or in the full creation leave a void,
Where, one step broken, the great scale's destroy'd:
From Nature's chain whatever link you strike,
Tenth or ten thousandth, breaks the chain alike.

Taking mathematics from the beginning of the world to the time when Newton lived, what he had done was much the better half.
The Author of nature has not given laws to the universe, which, like the institutions of men, carry in themselves the elements of their own destruction; he has not permitted in his works any symptom of infancy or of old age, or any sign by which we may estimate either their future or their past duration. He may put an end, as he no doubt gave a beginning, to the present system at some determinate period of time; but we may rest assured, that this great catastrophe will not be brought about by the laws now existing, and that it is not indicated by any thing which we perceive.
The engineer is concerned to travel from the abstract to the concrete. He begins with an idea and ends with an object. He journeys from theory to practice. The scientists job is the precise opposite. He explores nature with his telescopes or microscopes, or much more sophisticated techniques, and feeds into a computer what he finds or sees in an attempt to define mathematically its significance and relationships. He travels from the real to the symbolic, from the concrete to the abstract. The scientist and the engineer are the mirror image of each other.
The framing of hypotheses is, for the enquirer after truth, not the end, but the beginning of his work. Each of his systems is invented, not that he may admire it and follow it into all its consistent consequences, but that he may make it the occasion of a course of active experiment and observation. And if the results of this process contradict his fundamental assumptions, however ingenious, however symmetrical, however elegant his system may be, he rejects it without hesitation. He allows no natural yearning for the offspring of his own mind to draw him aside from the higher duty of loyalty to his sovereign, Truth, to her he not only gives his affections and his wishes, but strenuous labour and scrupulous minuteness of attention.
The greatest achievements in the science of this [twentieth] century are themselves the sources of more puzzlement than human beings have ever experienced. Indeed, it is likely that the twentieth century will be looked back at as the time when science provided the first close glimpse of the profundity of human ignorance. We have not reached solutions; we have only begun to discover how to ask questions.
The honor you have given us goes not to us as a crew, but to ... all Americans, who believed, who persevered with us. What Apollo has begun we hope will spread out in many directions, not just in space, but underneath the seas, and in the cities to tell us unforgettably what we will and must do. There are footprints on the moon. Those footprints belong to each and every one of you, to all mankind. They are there because of the blood, sweat, and tears of millions of people. Those footprints are the symbol of true human spirit.
The improvement of forest trees is the work of centuries. So much more the reason for beginning now.
The late Mr. David Hume, in his posthumous works, places the powers of generation much above those of our boasted reason; and adds, that reason can only make a machine, as a clock or a ship, but the power of generation makes the maker of the machine; ... he concludes, that the world itself might have been generated, rather than created ; that is, it might have been gradually produced from very small beginnings, increasing by the activity of its inherent principles, rather than by a sudden evolution of the whole by the Almighty fiat.—What a magnificent idea of the infinite power of THE GREAT ARCHITECT! THE CAUSE OF CAUSES! PARENT OF PARENTS! ENS ENTIUM!
For if we may compare infinities, it would seem to require a greater infinity of power to cause the causes of effects, than to cause the effects themselves.
For if we may compare infinities, it would seem to require a greater infinity of power to cause the causes of effects, than to cause the effects themselves.
The principles of Geology like those of geometry must begin at a point, through two or more of which the Geometrician draws a line and by thus proceeding from point to point, and from line to line, he constructs a map, and so proceeding from local to gen maps, and finally to a map of the world. Geometricians founded the science of Geography, on which is based that of Geology.
The self-fulfilling prophecy is, in the beginning, a false definition of the situation evoking a new behavior which makes the originally false conception come true. The specious validity of the self-fulfilling prophecy perpetuates a reign of error. For the prophet will cite the actual course of events as proof that he was right from the very beginning... Such are the perversities of social logic.
The starting point of Darwins theory of evolution is precisely the existence of those differences between individual members of a race or species which morphologists for the most part rightly neglect. The first condition necessary, in order that any process of Natural Selection may begin among a race, or species, is the existence of differences among its members; and the first step in an enquiry into the possible effect of a selective process upon any character of a race must be an estimate of the frequency with which individuals, exhibiting any given degree of abnormality with respect to that, character, occur. The unit, with which such an enquiry must deal, is not an individual but a race, or a statistically representative sample of a race; and the result must take the form of a numerical statement, showing the relative frequency with which the various kinds of individuals composing the race occur.
The theory of the earth is the science which describes and explains changes that the terrestrial globe has undergone from its beginning until today, and which allows the prediction of those it shall undergo in the future. The only way to understand these changes and their causes is to study the present-day state of the globe in order to gradually reconstruct its earlier stages, and to develop probable hypotheses on its future state. Therefore, the present state of the earth is the only solid base on which the theory can rely.
The usefulness of mathematics in furthering the sciences is commonly acknowledged: but outside the ranks of the experts there is little inquiry into its nature and purpose as a deliberate human activity. Doubtless this is due to the inevitable drawback that mathematical study is saturated with technicalities from beginning to end.
The validity of all the Inductive Methods depends on the assumption that every event, or the beginning of every phenomenon, must have some cause; some antecedent, upon the existence of which it is invariably and unconditionally consequent.
The year 1896 ... marked the beginning of what has been aptly termed the heroic age of Physical Science. Never before in the history of physics has there been witnessed such a period of intense activity when discoveries of fundamental importance have followed one another with such bewildering rapidity.
There are as many species as the infinite being created diverse forms in the beginning, which, following the laws of generation, produced many others, but always similar to them: therefore there are as many species as we have different structures before us today.
There can be no thought of finishing, for aiming at the stars, both literally and figuratively, is the work of generations, but no matter how much progress one makes there is always the thrill of just beginning.
This fundamental discovery that all bodies owe their origin to arrangements of single initial corpuscular type is the beacon that lights the history of the universe to our eyes. In its own way, matter obeyed from the beginning that great law of biology to which we shall have to recur time and time again, the law of complexification.
This is a huge step toward unraveling Genesis Chapter 1, Verse 1—what happened in the beginning. This is a Genesis machine. It'll help to recreate the most glorious event in the history of the universe.

Truly the gods have not from the beginning revealed all things to mortals, but by long seeking, mortals discover what is better.
We are at the beginning of a new era of immunochemistry, namely the production of antibody based molecules.
We have the satisfaction to find, that in nature there is wisdom, system and consistency. For having, in the natural history of this earth, seen a succession of worlds, we may from this conclude that, there is a system in nature; in like manner as, from seeing revolutions of the planets, it is concluded, that there is a system by which they are intended to continue those revolutions. But if the succession of worlds is established in the system of nature, it is vain to look for anything higher in the origin of the earth. The result, therefore, of our present enquiry is, that we find no vestige of a beginning,-no prospect of an end.
We may... have to relinquish the notion, explicit or implicit, that changes of paradigm carry scientists and those who learn from them closer and closer to the truth... The developmental process described in this essay has been a process of evolution from primitive beginningsa process whose successive stages are characterized by an increasingly detailed and refined understanding of nature. But nothing that has been or will be said makes it a process of evolution toward anything.
We were very privileged to leave on the Moon a plaque ... saying, For all Mankind. Perhaps in the third millennium a wayward stranger will read the plaque at Tranquility Base. Well let history mark that this was the age in which that became a fact. I was struck this morning in New York by a proudly waved but uncarefully scribbled sign. It said, Through you we touched the Moon. It was our privilege today to touch America. I suspect perhaps the most warm, genuine feeling that all of us could receive came through the cheers and shouts and, most of all, the smiles of our fellow Americans. We hope and think that those people shared our belief that this is the beginning of a new erathe beginning of an era when man understands the universe around him, and the beginning of the era when man understands himself.
When the ability to have movement across social class becomes virtually impossible, I think it is the beginning of the end of a country. And because education is so critical to success in this country, if we don't figure out a way to create greater mobility across social class, I do think it will be the beginning of the end.
Where the telescope ends, the microscope begins. Which of the two has the grander view?
[About any invention] (1) everything thats already in the world when youre born is just normal; (2) anything that gets invented between then and before you turn thirty is incredibly exciting and creative and with any luck you can make a career out of it; (3) anything that gets invented after youre thirty is against the natural order of things and the beginning of the end of civilisation as we know it until its been around for about ten years when it gradually turns out to be alright really.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth... Whatever our speculations may be in regard to a beginning, and when it was, it is written in the rocks that, like the animals and plants upon its surface, the earth itself grew.

NAP Crossfire & Nitron score very high in 5spots tests
In case anyone is not aware 5spot does broadhead testing. He test various things like sharpness, accuracy, durability, and penetration.
Well the new NAP Nitron and Crossfires passed the test with flying colors. I believe the Nitron scored the highest points of any head tested.
Full penetration of a 55 gallon drum both sides no damage to the head.
Now that's penetration and durability if you ask me. Should you be slightly off and hit a shoulderblade it should go right through.
I may have to re-think the good ole standby muzzys

About 2010 NYS Unemployment – New Yorkers Losing Jobs: NYS Dept of Labor – www.labor.ny.gov
About 2010 NYS Unemployment is that the the economy is actually poor in New York State according to the Dept. of Labor. Lots of folks are in financial strain more than the loss of jobs.
Unemployment rates have been increasing steadily across the state of New York and also the state has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country. Sitting at 10.2 % last month, the states unemployment rate actually dropped .2 percent from it's high of 10.4 percent in January.
A lot of individuals don't what they will do about the issue, since they want to perform but there's simply nowhere to work. Numerous are starting to think about re-location, but to where? It is bad all across the nation – not just in New York State. The overall US unemployment rate average is just over 9 %.

CHE Partners on why they value our work
Prenatal exposures to environmental chemicals have been associated with a wide range of diseases, both in the neonatal period and later in life. Animal and epidemiological studies are discovering links between endocrine disrupting chemicals and infertility. While research is uncovering the connections between exposures to environmental contaminants and reproductive health problems, health care providers are beginning to incorporate this information into clinical care.On November 18, 2011 the CHE Fertility Working Group hosted this informative discussion about strategies for incorporating environmental health information into clinical care. Katie Huffling, CNM reviewed the need for screening patients for environmental exposures, and presented a prenatal environmental screening tool she created for her clients. Sandy Worthington, WHNP-BC, CNM, discussed the Green Choices Project she developed at the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Dr. Kirtly Parker Jones presented information on counseling patients about environmental threats to fertility.
Featured speakers included:
Dr. Kirtly Parker JonesDr. Jones is Professor and Vice Chair for Educational Affairs at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology where she has had an academic appointment for the past 24 years. She has been a member of the National Medical Committee for Planned Parenthood and is past Chair of the Association of Reproductive Professionals. She teaches Ethics in Reproductive Medicine in the Honors Program at the University of Utah, as well as teaching reproductive medicine to medical students, residents and physicians. She has participated in a number of research projects and is the author or coauthor of numerous journal articles on gynecological topics and fertility. In addition, Dr. Jones maintains a clinical practice at the Utah Center for Reproductive Medicine.
Katie Huffling, RN, CNM, MS Ms. Huffling is a Certified Nurse-Midwife and the Program Coordinator for the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments at the University of Maryland School of Nursing. She has authored of a number of peer-reviewed articles on environmental health issues as they relate to pregnancy. She has also created an assessment tool that can be used by clinicians to assess for environmental exposures of pregnant women and prompts the clinician to provide anticipatory guidance. In addition, Ms. Huffling is involved in a project that integrates electronic media such as videos, podcasts, and smart phone applications into an online resource called EnviRN.
Sandy Worthington MSN, WHNP-BC, CNMMs. Worthington is a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, Certified Nurse-Midwife, and the Director of Medical Continuing Education and Special Projects in the Medical Division of the national office of Planned Parenthood. In her role as Director, she provided oversight for the Green Choices Project, an initiative to educate clients and staff on toxic chemicals in the environment that are adversely affecting reproductive health. The Green Choices Project includes materials designed to provide clients with strategies for reducing exposures to environmental toxicants.
The call was moderated by Karin Russ, National Coordinator for the Fertility and Reproductive Health Working Group.
