Mary Ellen Sheehan Discusses "Cosmic Consciousness and Christian Commitment: Some Mutual Challenges"
Mary Ellen Sheehan, professor emerita of Theology, will discuss "Cosmic Consciousness and Christian Commitment: Some Mutual Challenges" as part of the Most Reverend Bishop John McCarthy Lecture Series. The lecture is at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 7, in Jones Auditorium at the Robert and Pearle Ragsdale Center. The event is free and open to the public.
Sheehan's lecture will explore the interplay of science and religion in the 21st Century. She will focus on some of the ways contemporary scientific cosmology and Christian theology challenge each other today. Her lecture will also look at how resources from Christian tradition can serve to heighten both the significance of scientific cosmology and the character of Christian commitment.
Sheehan is a member of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Sisters of Monroe, Mich. Since 1978, she has been a professor of theology in the Faculty of Theology of the University of St. Michael's College of the Toronto School of Theology.
Sheehan teaches courses on the Sacraments, Theology of Ministry, History of the Teaching Ministry of the Church, Theology and Spiritual Direction, Contemporary Theology and God Images, and Praxis and Theological Method.
She has lectured and offered workshops in the United States, Canada and Central America on the theology of ministry, spirituality and lay ministry, ecclesiology as communion, and the ministry of women in the church. She also offers retreats relating to spiritual growth and development to contemporary issues in the church and society.
St. Edward's created the lecture series to honor Bishop McCarthy, who led the Diocese of Austin from 1985 to 2001, and to underscore the university's commitment to its Catholic roots and Holy Cross Heritage.

I have read all the below the belt punches to the fallen Whitney, and have wondered where the empathy - or even curiosity - is. I wonder if one needs to be a bit older, or maybe a bit more experienced to grasp some understanding of what goes through someone's mind before the state of suicide is reached, even if the suicide is slightly accidental.
There is no rest for depressed people. No sleep, no enjoyment, no satisfaction. While I have never been suicidal, I have dragged through some pretty rough emotional times. A lot of us have. And I can certainly empathize with someone who reached Whitney's state. There was, in her mind, simply nothing else to do.:(

Graduate Courses at Penn
Law Students - Take a Graduate Course @ Penn for Law School Credit
Students can take graduate level courses that are relevant to their legal education in departments throughout the University for credit toward their law degrees.
Contacts and registration procedures for departments on campus;
Wharton MBA Resource Guide and faculty authorization form
- Guidelines:
- Courses must be relevant to your legal education and must be of sufficient academic rigor to meet the exacting standards of law school education at Penn.
- The course must be a graduate level course (normally 500 level or higher). The Law School does not grant credit for introductory language study, but will consider petitions for intermediate or advance language courses.
- The course must not be duplicative or significantly similar to a course offered at the Law School.
- Courses taken outside of the Law School will not count toward the calculation of graduation honors.
- The decision about granting credit for non-Law courses is made by the Dean of Students. Accordingly, all students must complete a Law Credit for Non-Law Course form to ensure the Law School will grant credit for your coursework outside of the Law School. The form should be submitted during add/drop. Failure to submit the form during the add/drop period and be approved for Law credit results in a tuition charge posted soon after add/drop concludes.
- JD candidates may receive credit for up to 12 semester hours of graduate level courses taken at the University during their combined 2L and 3L years.
- Students taking more than 12 semester hours will be charged a course overload fee of 10% of full-time tuition per CU (3 law school semester hours) and the additional credits will NOT count toward graduation.
- It is important to note that students will not be permitted to take more than two non-law courses in a given semester without the express permission of the Dean of Students.
- LLM candidates may receive credit for up to 1 CU (3 law school semester hours) of grad-level course work in another department of the University.
Application Process
Students interested in taking a course outside of the law School for credit must submit an Law Credit for Non-Law Course form. Students accepted into formal Joint Degree programs do not need to complete the application form when enrolling in non-Law courses required for their non-law degree; candidates for Certificate and Ad Hoc joint programs DO need to complete the approval form.
Approval Procedure
- The Dean of Students will review the application and either approve or deny the request to enroll in a course outside of the Law School.
- Should you be denied approval to receive Law School credit for this course, please direct your inquiries to Dean of Students, Gary Clinton.
Enrollment Procedure
- Please note that approval means only that the Law School will accept the course credits toward your law degree should you satisfactorily complete the course. It does not ensure that you will actually be enrolled in the course. Enrollment is determined by the University department controlling the course and is subject to availability.
- Once you receive your approval, you should complete the registration process with the other department. Each department has its own rules and procedures for you to follow to ensure successful enrollment. For example, to register for courses at Wharton, students go in person to 300 Huntsman Hall, at 3730 Walnut Street, on the date WH has assigned for open registration. You may wish to visit the department or call to speak with their Registrar to ensure that you are following their procedures correctly.
- The other University department will then either enroll you in the course or enter a "permit" [which you must claim by visiting Penn InTouch], reserving a seat for you in the course.
- If a permit has been entered, and you have access to Penn InTouch, you can visit the site to register. If add/drop is over and you no longer have access to Penn InTouch, please be in touch with the Law School Registrar's Office and request that we claim the permit. This will complete your enrollment in the course. If you do not take this last step, you will not be registered in the course.
Tuition Matters
There is a tuition charge made for each course, and in those cases where the student is receiving Law School credit, the Law School pays that charge. Students who take courses for which they are not receiving Law School credit (because the courses do not fit the criteria noted above) are responsible for the tuition for those courses.
Grading Policies for Courses Outside of the Law School
Students in courses taken outside of the Law School are guided by the rules, policies, procedures and grade scales of the other Department, except that disciplinary infractions are heard by the Law School's Committee on Student Conduct and Responsibility.
Certificates of Study
Penn Law has combined with departments throughout the University to offer certificates of study in a variety of areas. Students will study at the other department in combination with specific courses at the Law School and are granted a certificate of study with the conferring of the JD degree.
Students who wish to apply to a Certificate program must complete a Certificate Application form . We request that these forms be submitted to the Registrar's Office during the fall of your 2L year. Upon receipt of the form, students will be charged a $200 administrative fee by the Law School. This fee is set each year and is subject to change. You should confirm this charge at the time of your registration.
More information on Certificates of Study opportunities.
Joint & Dual Degrees
We encourage all joint program candidates to meet with the Registrar and Dean of Students to review their plan of study. We will work with you to ensure you are on track to meet your Law graduation requirements. If you will NOT be enrolled in the Law school for a term, please let the Registrar's Office know immediately! Joint degree students are required to complete a Joint Degree Confirmation form. Upon receipt of this form, students will be charged a $400 administrative fee by the Law School (exceptions apply for the JD/MBA and PhD programs).

text: The all around look reminded me of the dystopian hoods from many 80s movies/comic books, like the watchmen or the guys who invaded Wyatt's house at the end of Weird Science. A slightly culturally removed vision of an apocalyptic future. I think the lip pierce with bare ears was interesting in its minimalism.

I saw an update on the T:A Facebook page and saw some stuff I didn't recognize.
So, for those who are still playing -- what's new lately?
Mh, not that much. XP prices got cut in half.
Also there are several new maps in the works and turrets are finally getting shields. But that's not out yet in case I haven't missed a patch lately. Haven't played much. PS2 is taking most of my online multiplayer time.
the shields are designed to stop people from disc-sniping the assets. there are now public test servers where there are 3 new CTF maps, and 2 (I think? probably more) arena maps. They are implementing the shocklance from T2 into the game.
There's now a official community manager HiRezAPC who is corresponding actively with the community on reddit and such. r/tribes is the way to go for any new information and discussion anyways. There's actually a thread there called "So I haven't played in four or five months" with more info.
and the XP thing of course, which is great.
Thanks to you both for the info.
Thanks -- that's just the kind of thread I was looking for.Quote:

I haven't played much either. Will have to take a look once the patch comes out.
Btw, what ever happened to that Roxton guy from Behind the Blue Plate? He up and vanished about the time I got busy and started slacking off at playing Tribes... His guides were really helpful for when I was just getting into the game.
They just announced a GoTY version. Gets you all the unlockable stuff for a fixed price. Surely a nice addition for people just starting the game.
So the Patch is coming tomorrow with six new maps. I wonder if there's enough RPSers to get a match going?
I admit I'm not playing at all now, but will drop in to give the new content a shot sometime this week.
Yes! new content.
Basically: There is a new weapon, called the shocklance, which is a melee weapon which drains your energy, but is more effective then general melee.
Turrets and radar sensors no longer have upgradable health: Instead they have shields. As a result, they are much harder to destroy once the generator is up, and easy to destroy once it is down. Explosive ammunition as well as (sticky) grenades are very effecctive against shields (as wel as the "mechanic" repair tool), but spinfusors are pretty much useless. If you want to take down a turret, you will have to get up close.
Mortars now explode upon contact with a turret at any range.
There is three new maps on CTF, and three new on Arena.
I have played two new CTF maps. One of them is in a desert area. The other looks like it is a classic tribe map conversion, including low res trees :P. I haven't played the third yet.
I've played all three new CTF maps. Wouldn't like to say how "good" or not they are in play terms (though I like all three, which is more than I can say for the last few maps that have been introduced), but they are, if nothing else, beautiful. The Moon map in particular feels like playing inside concept art.
Hi guys! I played Tribes was during the beta, and up to a bit after the release. I pretty much stopped playing when they started to pump out all those new weapons so I'm far behind now... What I need to know? Is still Medium armor + Spinfusor the standard way go? I had a good Soldier class, not 100% on everything but almost, and I was starting to enjoy sniping too.. then I suddenly had no time to play, and then Planetside 2 got all my attention, but now I'm back, reinstalling the game as we speak.
I really hope to find a good number of new maps too :]
Used to play as SolarFox on RPShazbot servers
I'm not up to date, but they released a secondary slot Spinfusor (the Spare Spinfusor, does a little less damage than the original), so you can carry an AR+Fusor, which is my preferred Soldier loadout.
very interesting! I was quite fond of my pistol aim, but AR+Fusor seems amazing
really tempted in getting the Goty version now honestly.
I played for an hour or two this weekend, and was finding it fun again. Whether it's the new content or my time off causing that, I'm not sure. Haven't messed with the Shocklance at all yet, but I'm glad it's taking up a weapon slot. I am also glad to see the halved XP requirement for unlocks. Having excess XP to spend makes that part fun for me. I won't really run out unless I start getting Shocklances for all of my characters.
So, VIP accounts seem to no longer be a thing, though you retain the status. Am I still getting VIP XP?
The new maps are somewhat enjoyable. The moon one, blueshift(i think) is fun to go very fast on and they made it Blitz as well! Bella is back and pretty fun. Canyon Crusade is also somewhat enjoyable if you have good teams.
Shocklance is difficult to use except with INF, when it is a bit overpowered.
A new feature I enjoy is the halo of light around all grenades, not just proxies. Makes them a lot easier to avoid.
The new arena maps are pretty fun. One of them is a bit CODy, but would be fun to play with more than 5v5.
Maybe we can schedule a game for next weekend sometime. Post availabilities and I will find a good time and look into setting up a server again(or we just jump on a random server).
If the prices are still a bit sharp it may be wise to hop onto a public server.
My initial reactions despite not playing for ages:
The new maps seem nice, but the canyon one seems to be directly ripped out of 1998 technically (not a major issue, but the textures were distracting me slightly in my dumb way)
BELLA OMEGA ON THE BEACH! (in the desert) I can imagine this is causing some very aggressive arguments still.
I'm not fussed about unlocking anything else, and after sinking a load of cash into it I really don't want to spend any more on the last few bits and bobs I don't have. Its nice for new players, and its nice for people who bought maybe a spinfusor and the eagle pistol, but for someone who has sunk about $50ish into it, its not that great.
Was nice to be playing with Poppis, Aural and PaperRat again, even if I was just genhumping with the Brute.

According to AC Nielsen, in the six months 30 September 2009, Miller Brands grew its value share of UK premium lager to 6%, a growth of 16%, and is now looking for a new brand to expand on this success.
Peroni Nastro Azzurro delivered 35% year on year volume growth - the equivalent of an additional 23 million bottles. Pilsner Urquell has grown volumes by 26%. This contrasts with overall UK lager market volumes which declined 7% over the same period.
Nick Miller, MD of Miller Brands, says: "Our success is due in no small part to the integrity and desirability of our brands and we are determined that we won't sacrifice this for the sake of incremental volumes. We will continue to build and nurture differentiated brands that deliver a top quality drinking experience for our consumers and margin opportunities for our customers."
SABMiller has around 200 brands worldwide, brewed across six continents and Miller Brands is currently undertaking a detailed evaluation of the opportunity to expand its range of UK brands through the introduction of another SABMiller brand to the market.
Nick Miller continues "We are currently conducting detailed research with retailers and consumers to understand where there are needs that could be fulfilled by a brand from an SABMiller market elsewhere in the world. We haven't reached a decision yet on what that brand will be, but we have an incredibly exciting and extensive range to choose from."

Taylor Swift Goes Back to December at the AMAs, Earns Major Awardby Hilton Hater at .
It was a good night for Taylor Swift at the American Music Awards.
While the singer didn't dominate the evening like a certain shaggy-haired 16-year old, she was named the top Female Country Artist on the planet. Swift also performed her single "Back to December," mixing in a bit of One Republic's "Apologize" with the ballad.
Watch the following video of this critically acclaimed performance and then click on photos of Taylor on stage at the event:

yeah i agree that taylor was writing about taylor lautner in her mix of the two songs. and honestly i liked it! i dont agree about what happened between her annd taylor lautner and i also agree that she totally messed up. but honestly i give her alot of credit for at least trying to apologize to him publicly. Will the two of the go out again? i dont think so and i dont think she thinks that they will either. But, she still gets alot of credit from me for the whole apology.
no matter what people say about taylor swift, whether or not she can sing, she messed up with her choice of mixing that song with another song,the break up with that dude, and the list goes on and on with ya'll. it's stupid. u gotta give the girl credit, Back to December is probably THE BEST lyrically written song of the decade. HANDS DOWN. very deep lyrics. give credit where credit is due.
I give Taylor credit!! As she says her fans get her she is not the greatest vocalist(neither was Bob Dylan in the 70's) but she is real and doesn't lip sink or use all the other tech. that cover bad singers(Brittany, Keisha,Miley)and she has made history for herself. Like her or not many people do. She is certainly a good role model compared to most if what is out there today! Go
Taylor....We Love U
I think she mixed it's to late to apolgize in with her song Is because that's what talylor lautner sang in YouTube years before going out with her and nows she's saying she sorry an she regrets what she did and that's she's telling is song is about talyor launter. I think she sang this song very well and she wants talyor lautner back but it's to late and she really messed up this time!

I have to be honest and confess to a little writing jealousy today. Not much, just an Amazon book recommendation which made me think "this should be me" which of course is totally unlikely, because the writer in question is good, established and has likely worked harder then I ever worked so far.
Nevermind, whenever I see a paranormal romance with a touch of magic, I get a little twinge of envy. And regret.
What to go with this writing jealousy?
So what do I do with that? I often get down on myself and take a break from the writing – oh big mistake! What I should work on is do what I did today, turn that negative energy into fuel to get to my white page and work, work work!
90 minutes today, squeezed between the kids and the meals and the cleaning.
What I learned today:
When I work on my story, the writing jealousy goes away and is replaced by hope! The hope that maybe, if I persist, work hard, and stay positive, that could be a little bit me one day.
Something to work on…
Still writing,

If you looked in a mirror this morning, you may have seen a descendant of creatures from Mars. That is, if biochemist Steven Benner of the Westheimer Institute of Science and Technology in Gainesville, Florida, is right. "Life started on Mars and came to Earth on a rock," Benner declares. Today, at the European Association of Geochemistry's Goldschmidt Conference in Florence, Italy, Benner made what many in the origin-of-life debate call an interesting, but not convincing, new case for our martian heritage.
However and wherever life began, one thing is sure: Its first organic building blocks, called hydrocarbons, had a number of hurdles to clear before evolving into living cells. Fed with heat or light and left to themselves, hydrocarbons tend to turn into useless tarlike substances. And even when complex molecules like RNA (most biologists' best guess for the first genetic molecule) arise, water quickly breaks them down again.
Benner argues that those chemical hurdles would have been lower on early Mars than on young Earth. To begin with, early Earth was probably a water world, completely covered by oceans, but water covered only parts of Mars's surface. Moreover, he notes, rocks on Mars had a stronger oxidizing effect than rocks on Earth, so oxygen-bearing molecules would have formed more easily there. "This is established by observations today on both planets, as well as by models for how planets form," he says.
As a result, molybdates-molecules that contain molybdenum and oxygen-could have existed on Mars, but probably not on Earth. Like oxidized boron (which occurs in dry regions and would also have been rare on a water-covered early Earth), molybdates tend to prevent organic materials from turning into tar. Benner says laboratory experiments show that molybdates can convert certain organic molecules into ribose-an important component of DNA. "This is a fact," he says.
That would make it more likely that life originated on our planetary neighbor, Benner says. Martian microorganisms could have reached Earth on meteorites, flung away from the Red Planet's surface by cosmic impacts.
Benner's hypothesis "is a neat idea, but not yet proven," says biochemist William Bains of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. Some theories for the origin of life do not need molybdenum at all, Bains says, and scientists don't know for sure whether early Earth was completely covered in water while early Mars was not.
Astrobiologist Paul Davies of Arizona State University, Tempe, agrees that Benner's argument "greatly strengthens the case" for Mars as the first home of terrestrial life. But, he adds, "It comes down to probabilities. The case is suggestive but not overwhelming." Even if early life existed on Mars, he says, it would be hard to prove that those life forms planted the seeds of our own existence. "In fact, because the traffic of [meteoritic] material between Earth and Mars is so prolific, once life gets going on one it will be transferred to the other very quickly, making the place of origin almost impossible to discern."
Astrochemist Pascale Ehrenfreund of George Washington University in Washington, is a bit more optimistic about resolving the issue. Laboratory experiments under conditions that resemble early Mars might lead to realistic answers, she says. But she doesn't find Benner's "interesting idea" convincing.
Benner himself concedes that scientists may never know how and where life emerged. "We will likely need to be satisfied with answers to a more indirect question: How might life have emerged?" Finding martian life, either extant or extinct, could help by revealing information about ancient martian biochemistry. "This could lead to an 'Aha!' moment that opens new thinking relevant to the historical question."

BOISE -- Incoming coach Bryan Harsin has weighed in on the controversial dismissal of BSU quarterback Joe Southwick for allegedly urinating off a balcony.
Speaking to ESPN commentators over the phone during the Hawaii Bowl, Harsin affirmed interim Coach Bob Gregory's decision to send Southwick home just days before the bowl game.
Asked his reaction to the scandal -- including Southwick's claim that he was erroneously blamed -- Harsin said he had "full faith" in the BSU football coaching staff and administration.
"I back them completely," Harsin said, describing BSU's player culture as stark and no-nonsense, as it was cultivated under former Coach Chris Petersen.
"It's back to the game, and back to business," Harsin concluded.

ARCUS Student Award | 1st Annual Award
1st Annual ARCUS Award for Arctic Research Excellence
Submitted by:
J. A. (Tony) Beesley
J. A. Beesley
Towards an Explanation of the Annual Cycle of Low-Cloud Amount Over the Arctic Ocean
Department of Atmospheric Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA
The annual cycle of low cloud amount over the Arctic Ocean is examined using climatological data and a time-dependent atmospheric column model. Low stratiform clouds are a ubiquitous feature in the Arctic summer and are much less prevalent in the winter, with swift transitions in the spring and fall. They have a strong influence on the climate by interacting with long- and shortwave radiation and by modifying profiles of temperature and humidity in the lower troposphere. Three hypotheses for the annual cycle are formulated, compared with climatological data for consistency, and then tested using the model. The hypotheses identify three different factors that might produce the annual cycle in cloud amount over the Arctic Ocean: (1) water vapor advection into the Arctic, (2) evaporation at the surface of the ice pack, and (3) the temperature-dependent formation and precipitation of atmospheric ice. The hypotheses all appear to be consistent with available climatological data. A small but interesting exception is that the transition between the winter and summer cloudiness regimes occurs one month before the influx of atmospheric moisture increases from its wintertime level, which weakens the first hypothesis.
The model used in this study includes processes necessary to simulate low stratiform cloudiness observed at lower latitudes plus ice phase physical processes that may be important over the Arctic. The boundary conditions consist of incoming solar radiation at the top of the model; profiles of divergence, temperature advection, and moisture advection at the sides; and open water fraction and ice thickness at the bottom. The model simulates the summer and winter cloud regimes when forced with the boundary conditions corresponding to those seasons. In an experimental simulation of winter climate, a parameter representing the triple point temperature of water is reduced from 0 °C to -20 °C. The low cloud amount in this wintertime experiment is greater than 90%. Results from the full set of model experiments suggest that the main factor in determining the annual cycle of low cloud amount is the effectiveness of ice processes in eliminating liquid water clouds and preventing the water vapor mixing ratio in clear air from reaching saturation with respect to liquid. It is shown that, among general circulation models participating in the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project, those that represent atmospheric ice processes produce qualitatively more realistic simulations of the mean annual cycle of cloud amount over the Arctic Ocean than models without ice processes. It is predicted that the duration of the summertime cloudy season should be longer when the Arctic Ocean climate is warmer, and shorter when it is cooler.

Bulls keep hopes alive with victory
An aggressive 85-run partnership from Nathan Reardon and Lee Carseldine has keep the Bulls Big Bash title hopes alive with a 7 wicket win over the Redbacks at the Gabba.
Chasing 164 for victory, the Bulls started shakily, loosing openers Chris Simpson and Wade Townsend within six overs to see the home side precariously placed at 2-43.
Reardon was offered a life on two when debutant Kane Richardson fumbled a regulation catch in the deep and the 24-year-old made the visitors pay full price.
Reardon dazzled the crowd of 12, 376, punishing anything full, short or wide, he smashed five sixes in an explosive innings of 46 that came off just 23 balls.
Reardon eventually fell to Mark Cleary in the 16th over, ending Carseldine and Reardon's 26 minutes of carnage, but the damage was well and truly done, with the Bulls sitting pretty at 3-128.
The inform Carseldine, who crashed an unbeaten half-century last start against Victoria, soon brought up his 50 before finishing unbeaten on 67 off 47 balls in a man of the match effort.
Glen Batticciotto (10 not out) snuck the winning runs at the end of the 18th over, sealing back-to-back wins for Queensland.
Cleary (1-35) and Daniel Christian (1-28) were the only wicket takers for the Redbacks.
South Australia would have been frustrated they only posted a modest 7-163 after a blazing 64-run partnership from openers Michael Klinger and Dan Harris put the Redbacks on track for a sizeable total.
Klinger (42) and Harris (40) built the perfect platform early on, powering their side to 0-64 in the eighth over before the introduction of spin saw the end of Harris.
After making light work of the Bulls pacemen, Harris could not resist Simpson's second ball, picking out Craig Philipson in the deep to see his 28-ball knock come to an end.
It took something special to dismiss Klinger and Townsend was the man to deliver for the home side, holding onto a miraculous left-handed jumping catch on the boundary to see Klinger's chanceless innings come to an end.
Townsend looked to have misjudged the flight of the ball at first after Klinger smashed it back over the head of Simpson, but he was able to back pedal, shoot up and reel in the difficult chance.
Klinger's dismissal triggered a collapse of 3-12 as the Bulls grabbed the ascendancy, snaring quick wickets and reducing South Australia's run rate in the process.
The Bulls now join Western Australia and New South Wales on second spot on the ladder with four points, behind Victoria (six), although the Blues have a game in hand.

AUSTIN -- It is often said, still photographs can be more powerful than any video. A moment captured, frozen in time.
Eric Draper has devoted his life to telling stories through a lens spending more than 20 years as a news still photographer. While reporting for the Associated Press he traveled the world. But Eric's world would change in Austin, Texas.
"As an AP photog I spent nearly a year covering the Bush campaign in 2000. I was invited to their Christmas party in Austin, TX at the Governor's mansion and that's where I decided to take a page out of his political playbook," Draper told KVUE. "During his campaign, which is still in my head, he had a stump speech that said, 'I'm going to look you in the eye and ask you for the job. I want to be your president.' So that's what I did at the party; I asked him, I said, 'I want to be your personal photographer.' A week later it all happened very fast."
Overnight practically, Eric went from outsider to insider as the official White House photographer. He was privy to every aspect of the president's schedule.
"I would literally just show up outside the Oval Office. Then I would follow him around for the entire day," said Draper
Days that would become some of America's most difficult, like 9/11. From the school in Sarasota, Florida to the ruble of Ground Zero, Draper was there.
"Someone handed the president the bullhorn. He stood there with the firefighter and delivered the famous line: 'I can hear you. and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear from all of us.' And I knew after he said those words that this overwhelming feeling, like 'Wow, this is a historic moment.' It still gives me chills," Draper said
But Eric Draper was also able to witness the fun, playful moments -- from time with Barney to pranks in the White House and lighter moments with world leaders.
But of the more than one million photos, Draper's favorite came from the western White House in Crawford.
Draper described it this way. "It's more of a portrait. What I love about it its very iconic. You know, the cowboy hat, but then his expression that is President George W. Bush. A little twinkle in his eye. And this moment where he's on the ranch driving his own truck he kind of has a since of freedom. You know when you're president, you're watched so closely you don't have that much freedom. What you can't see in the picture is that Barney is sitting on his lap. The timing of it is interesting because it's a month before 9/11. So whenever I look at this picture, I kind of see a sense of innocence, before the world changed."
Draper hopes his book, printed by the University of Texas, will give people a different look at one Texan who became president.
After eight years Eric Draper became the longest-serving White House press photographer. He says for a photographer is was the ultimate job, giving the world a front row seat.

chic styles and excellent quality – i've been shopping at flora and henri since my son was born 3 years ago. i have been beyond pleased with everything i've purchased from them. my son lived in their essentials as an infant, and we still love these soft cotton pieces. the more tailored styles are super-chic. AND they just started carrying women's and housewares as well. finally!!!! now i can look as cool as my kid :). best part: much of their line is manufactured in madagascar and nepal and proceeds go to orphanages in these countries, so shopping there supports a good cause.
btw: the address listed above is incorrect. they have a new location in capitol hill.

seattle, wa 98122
Cute style, very disappointing quality. – Style is super cute. Quality does not live up to the outrageous prices. I received a light spring coat and leather slip on shoes as a gift for each of my two daughters. Coat was something like $80 and shoes were $60. The coat gets very mild use for special occassions and the seams are coming out and the fabric is fraying. This is happening on both coats, so it is consistent. The shoes were worn outside once. The smaller pair has a seam coming loose making a hole. The larger pair got ruined on the first wear as my daughter is 5 and ran around and scraped them all up. Simply not practical for that age. In addition, she complains that they are not comfortable. I am very disappointed with the quality. I would have preferred $140 for each of my daughters college savings accounts.
If you've got money to burn, this chic children's store is hot stuff. – In Short
This is the kind of store where you might see Dad reading a book to his toddler in French while Mom shops. Owner Jane Hedreen designs most of the tailored clothes for children 6 months to 8 years old, with attention to detail and quality. You won't find anything emblazoned with the latest kiddie icon, but you will find orderly racks of simple, sophisticated, children's clothing in spare, unadorned surroundings.
Top Shelf Clothing for Babies – One of the finest baby clothing boutiques in the region. Be prepared for sticker shock. However, their website offers some great deals on previous years merchandice.
Best clothes I have seen – Best baby and childrens clothing by far-very simple and clean. They use really nice fabrics too! Very European style.

Defeat Diabetes
150 153rd Ave,
Suite 300
Madeira Beach, FL 33708
AACE: Ralph A. DeFronzo, MD -- Diabetes Prevention Supports More Aggressive and Earlier InterventionPosted: Sunday, May 12, 2013
Dr. Ralph A DeFronzo from the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, made a case for treating patients with impaired glucose tolerance to prevent or delay conversion to type 2 diabetes.
Dr. DeFronzo, who is Director of the Diabetes Research Unit at UTHSC began his presentation with a current review of the exploding statistics on the number of Americans with impaired glucose tolerance and the costs associated with it -- particularly the costs in dollars and quality of life associated with microvascular complications.
He stated that the key to reducing the risk of patients with impaired glucose tolerance going on to meet the definition of type 2 diabetes is preserving beta cell function. And the key to preserving beta cell function is earlier intervention than what we do now.
To make his case for early intervention, Dr. DeFronzo reviewed extensive data from multiple studies – beginning with a look at lifestyle interventions.
"There's no doubt – when you look at diabetes prevention – if you can get people to lose weight and exercise on a regular basis, lifestyle intervention is great therapy," he stated. "The issue is not whether diet and exercise works. It works. The issue is can you get people to do it on a long-term basis. I think it's time to face reality. The reality is, it doesn't work long term."
However, Dr. DeFronzo went on to demonstrate how pharmaceutical treatment can preserve beta cell function and dramatically reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in patients with impaired glucose tolerance.
He reviewed several studies that looked at the use of TZD's in patients with impaired glucose tolerance.
"What you can see, in all of these studies -- whatever TZD you look at -- is although the initial drop in A1c may vary, whatever the initial drop, it's maintained," Dr. DeFronzo said. "You have durability of control over a long period of time…. If you know nothing else, and I told you that I gave you a drug that dropped your A1c and you asked why that happened, there's only one answer. We preserved beta cell function. If you don't stop beta cell failure, you will not stabilize A1c."
He said the literature on the TZD's consistently shows a 50 to 70 percent improvement in reducing the conversion rate of impaired glucose tolerance to type 2 diabetes.
However, given legal battles surrounding some of the TZD's, Dr. DeFronzo said their use is on the decline. Although he uses TZDs in his patients, he said he believes the use of incretin hormones will increase going forward.
"Although we have less data on the incretin hormones, in my opinion the data are so impressive that these drugs will eventually become the drugs of choice," he said.
In addition to augmenting insulin secretion in patients with elevated blood sugar, the GLP1 analogs help prevent type 2 diabetes by replenishing beta cell insulin stores and by preventing beta cell exhaustion, Dr. DeFronzo said.
As an example of the dramatic results seen with incretin therapies, Dr. DeFronzo shared results from a little-known study evaluating liraglutide's effect on beta cells in obese patients.
"Sixty-one percent of people lost more than 5 percent of their body weight," he said. "This would be sufficient to get the drug approved as weight-loss drug by the FDA. Nineteen percent lost more than 10 percent of their body weight. But look at this… ninety percent of the people with prediabetes returned to normal glucose tolerance. That's even better than what you'd see with a TZD. Looking at metabolic syndrome, there was a 60 percent decrease."
Given the ability of these therapies to prevent the progression to type 2 diabetes, Dr. DeFronzo said it was clear that earlier intervention makes sense financially and in terms of quality of life for patients.

Hi there,
i just installed OSX 10.7.1 with Atkos L 1 and it works fine until i tried to open Safari and got a connection error. There is a non-connected Firewire port, but i can't see ethernet ports in system prefs.
I'm a newbie at those stuff, so can you tell me if this is a problem caused by missing ethernet drivers and could i handle it by downloading them? Or am i not able to run the system with my hardware?

New year……new beginnings? And all that other said things that comes with it.
The first thing i've had to do is leave New Years Resolutions as a thing of the past as in reality nothing i'm ever trying to achieve convientantly starts on 1st january apart from fad diets following the festive feastings. And that right there is the problem, i've constantly approached New Year Resolutions like many of my failed diets as a 'fad' or 'quick fix' that never last long….At ALL. And i now realise the moment you set your self up to approach what should be a lifestyle goal as quickie its always bound for failure.
This time ive sat down and thought about my long term lifestyle, goals, choices which i've always had and then refined and listed how i intend to get closer to them throughout this year.
