Since the beginning of the 2003/04 season Georg Fritzsch is the general music director of the state capital Kiel in Germany. Before devoting himself to conducting Georg Fritzsch studied violin cello at the "Carl Maria von Weber" Academy of Music in Dresden. He was responsible during the years 1984 to 1988, where he gained a lot of experience for his further musical career, as a substitute and later as permanent assistant to the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden.
After the cello studies he became a solo cellist at the Gera Philharmonic Orchestra. In parallel Georg Fritzsch began his conducting studies in Dresden and Leipzig, which he completed in 1993. At this time, the decisive meeting with Heinz Rögner who influenced Georg Fritzsch as an outstanding conductor and teacher personality of his time and with whom he was bounded to an intense artistic friendship until his death.
In 1991 he received the scholarship from the Herbert von Karajan Foundation and only five years later he was appointed for General Music Director of the Philharmonic Orchestra Südwestfalen and Music Director of the Theater Hagen. He held this position until the 2002/03 season. From 2009 to 2011, he was appointed as Chief Conductor Tyrolean Symphony Orchestra Innsbruck as well the Tyrolean Landestheater Innsbruck.
In the last few years Georg Fritzsch was guest conducting in China, France, Spain, Poland, France, Great Britain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Austria, Czech Republic, Belgium, Korea, China, Taiwan, Italy, Israel, USA, South Africa, Estonia and Turkey. He conducted Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden, Dresden Philharmonic, German Symphony Orchestra Berlin, Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, Stuttgart State Philharmonic, Gürzenich Orchester Cologne, Düsseldorf Symphonic, Staatskapelle Weimar, Stuttgart Philharmonic and Staatsphilharmonie Nürnberg Hamburg as well as the Munich Symphoniker. He was further invited to the Radio Symphony Orchestra of Basel, the Royal Philharmonic of Flanders, the Beijing Symphony Orchestra, the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, the Taipei Symphony Orchestra and the National Symphony Orchestra Johannesburg. In Dublin he conducted Verdi's Don Carlos; at the State Opera in Hannover Don Giovanni; at the Aalto Theater Essen Elektra; at the Deutsche Oper am Rhein Der Fliegende Holländer, Salome and Don Carlos. In addition he conducted at the Woodstock Mozart Festival in the USA; in the Staatsoper Stuttgart Elektra, Der Rosenkavalier, Salome, Ariadne auf Naxos. Further guest engagements took him to Puccini's La Bohème and Madama Butterfly as well as Bizet's Carmen to the Semperoper in Dresden.
In the season 2015/16 Georg Fritzsch began in Kiel with Das Rheingold and Die Walküre Wagner's Ring der Nibelungen, whose production he will complete in the next season. In addition to conducting the above-mentioned Strauss operas in Stuttgart and Essen, he also performed concerts in Munich and Krakow as well as with the Munich Radio Orchestra at the Richard Strauss Festival in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. With Michael Volle and the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin he produced for ORFEO International a recording with arias from operas by Richard Wagner.
Following CD and radio productions Georg Fritzschs lie among others. With the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin at BMG, with the German Symphony Orchestra Berlin for Germany Radio, with the Philharmonic Orchestra Kiel at Querstand and Neos as well as with the Nordwestdeutsches Philharmonie Herford and the Philharmonia Hungarica for the WDR.
The repertoire of Georg Fritzsch includes numerous works of concert and opera literature from different period. He feels a special affinity for the great composers of German Classical and Romanticism; for Mozart, Beethoven, Reger, Schubert and Mendelssohn, Bruckner, Wagner, Mahler and Richard Strauss.
However, Georg Fritzsch also enjoys a high reputation in contemporary music. Thus, he conducted with great success various premieres by Matthus, Franke, Kirchner, Kunad et al. His commitment to Cristóbal Halffter, whose operas Lázaro and Schachnovelle, were premiered, is worth noting.
The stylistic variety of the conductor is also evident in its lively activity in the crossover area. Here he worked with artists such as, for example, Jon Lord, the NDR Big Band, the King's and the Swingle Singers, Klazz Brothers & Cuba Percussion, and rock musicians like KARAT, the Prince and Suzi Quatro.
In addition to his numerous commitments as a conductor, Georg Fritzsch attaches great importance to the promotion of young artistic talent. From 1999 to 2003, he held a professorship for conducting at the Tilburg Music Conservatory in the Netherlands. Since 2003, he has been conducting regular conducting courses for the Conductor's Forum of the German Music Council, including in the spring of 2017 in Munich. For the Musikhochschule Stuttgart he conducted a conducting course in the autumn of 2016 focusing on Richard Strauss.
For the academic year 2017/18 Georg Fritzsch takes a professorship for conducting at the University of Music and Theater in Munich.

Tiny Barbarian takes to Kickstarter for new chapter
Utterly charming retro platformer Tiny Barbarian is back, and Starquail Games wants your help to bring a new chapter of itsy bitsy pixel adventures to market.
Inspired by classic Caonan the Barbarian stories, Tiny Barbarian (he's 17 pixels tall) debuted on Xbox Live Arcade last year with an initial episode based on The Frost Giant's Daughter.
Starquail Games wants to produce a whole series of these delights for PC, an initiative I highly approve of, but since part-time development is a slow and painful process, the developer hopes to crowd-fund in order to knock them out a bit faster.
As well as a new story, the next chapter will have new moves, "smoother combos for easier juggles", bosses, "stuff to ride on", improved graphics and more. It's built on the AstroMan engine rather than Game Maker, which allows for multiple improvements fully outlined on the game's Kickstarter page.
In addition to the pitch video through the link, Starquail has produced a gameplay-only video which you can check out below. Starquail is asking for a modest $12,000, and the first new story is expected to launch on PC within a couple of months. Get more information on the official website.

Pearl Street prize: Don't waive city auction rules
June 19. 2013 8:40PM
How much is a city parking lot worth? Answer: Nobody knows. Which is why Manchester must not proceed with a promising new development on Pearl Street without putting its parking lot up for auction.
VMD Companies of Andover, Mass., has proposed converting the parking lot into a nine-story building: six floors of housing for college students atop three floors of a public parking garage. It sounds like exactly the sort of development the city needs in that part of downtown. The lot is just north of Bridge Street at the corner of Pearl and Elm.
The hitch is that the developer wants to buy the lot, not bid on it at auction. City rules require that public land be sold at auction. Aldermen can suspend those rules if doing so is in the best interests of the city. In this case, that would be the wrong move.
Though the lot is assessed at between $1.3 million and $1.5 million, assessments are not always accurate. The way to determine the price is to auction the lot. Price is a function of supply and demand. The city has the supply, but no one knows what the demand is. An auction would discover it. Aldermen need to insist upon it.
In Boston last week, an auction for two Back Bay parking spaces started at $42,000 and ended at $560,000, a sum no one expected. The Pearl Street lot is a prime piece of downtown real estate. Aldermen would sell taxpayers short if they did not put it up for bid.

Reformed Theological Seminary's Global Education was established to extend the mission of the seminary beyond the geographic limitations of the residential campuses, affording students all over the world the opportunity to pursue a fully-accredited, Biblical, theology degree. To that end, academic programs through Global Education are centered around our Master of Arts degree programs, where 100% of the courses for these online degrees may be completed via distance education.
We define the concept of distance education as a method of study primarily characterized by the separation of the teacher from the learner – and the learners, respectively, from each other – for much (or all) of an academic course. We bridge this separation via teaching tools including printed and electronic media, a mobile app and iTunes U, our online classroom, learner-centered course structure and delivery, and prompt, helpful student support.
With RTS Global, we provide academic and practical ministry training that is equivalent to the training offered at our other campuses. Our goal is to see that more people would be won to Christ and built up in the faith, resulting in healthy, growing churches and a perceptive application of the Bible to all facets of life.
Since the Bible is the Word of God, it is the basis for the total curriculum. Students are equipped with the necessary skills to lead in understanding and teaching the Scriptures, developing above all a burning desire to know and do the will of God as revealed in the Bible's Old and New Testaments.
Whether you're a prospective student, current student, alumnus, donor, or friend of RTS, we would love to hear from you.

#LoserKeepsBieber: High stakes for Canada-USA hockey game
The stakes are high for Friday's semifinal hockey game between Canada and the U.S. at the Sochi Olympics.
Not only is a spot in the gold-medal game on the line, but fans on the web appear willing to wager national ownership of pop star-turned-brat Justin Bieber.
The hashtag #LoserKeepsBieber was trending on Twitter Thursday, with puck-heads on both sides of the border willing to up the ante on the highly-anticipated matchup.
The idea picked up even more steam after a Chicago-based company that operates an electronic billboard created a sign that shows an image of the 19-year-old from Stratford, Ont., in between Canadian centre Jonathan Toews and U.S. winger Patrick Kane – both teammates on the NHL's Blackhawks – with the caption 'Loser Keeps Bieber'.

Daniel Benjamin and Steven Simon, both of whom served as staff members on President Clinton's National Security Council while al Qaeda emerged and our government did essentially nothing to stop it, have a piece in the Washington Post called, "Of Course Iraq Made It Worse." The title reflects the ipse dixit nature of column — the authors' certitude that the threat of terrorism has become worse due to our action in Iraq substitutes for evidence of that proposition.
Benjamin and Simon brush off the absence of "metrics" supporting the proposition that there are more live terrorists prepared to attack U.S. civilians than there would have been had we backed down in our confrontation with Saddam and allowed him to remain in power. Such evidence is impossible to produce, they say. Fair enough. But evidence about the number of times we and our friends have been attacked at home is readily available. And the fact is that terrorists have not successfully attacked our homeland since 9/11, and that successful attacks against any western homeland have been few and far between.
This evidence is not dispositive, of course — things could be getting worse even in the absence of frequent (or even any) attacks. But at some point don't Benjamin and Simon have to produce more than raw assertions and speculation in order to prove that, "of course," things are getting worse?
The best they can do in this regard is to note that terrorists are killing Americans in Iraq. That's true of course, as it's true in Afghanistan and in any other war. More soldiers die if you send them to war than if you don't. But better evidence than this is needed to establish that the Iraq war has made things worse, especially since by all accounts we're killing more terrorists in Iraq than they are killing our soldiers.
Benjamin and Simon end their piece with the odd claim that the administration's continued need to defend the Iraq war "is preventing the nation from crafting the necessary strategy to meet the terrorist challenge and make Americans safer." If by this the authors means that our focus on Iraq is preventing us from, say, improving port security, their argument is absurd. If they are using the Iraq war as an excuse for the inability of the administration's critics to propose new approaches, their argument is pathetic. If they are claiming that we can't deal the terrorists a major setback as long as we're in Iraq, they should read the NIE report upon which they rely. It argues, as bin Laden has, that defeating al Qaeda in Iraq would substantially assist in the war against global jihad.
Finally, Benjamin and Simon should consult the opening paragraph of their own piece. There, they note the importance to the war on terror of bringing about reform in the Muslim world and of reducing corruption and injustice. Our efforts in Iraq have brought about reform and have reduced injustice there. It seems to me that by attempting to undermine public support for these efforts, Benjamin, Simon and their ilk are the ones who are reducing our ability to meet the terrorist challenge and make America safer.

Recently, ESPN writer and television contributor Howard Bryant was arrested by police on Saturday in Massachusetts after an alleged domestic dispute with his wife. Bryant was charged with domestic assault and battery, assault and battery on a police officer, and resisting arrest. The initial reports claim that witnesses saw Bryant arguing with his wife and he subsequently choked her. Furthermore, Bryant then struggled with police, allegedly elbowing a policeman in the chest at the scene.
Bryant refutes the arrest, releasing a statement that he is innocent. From USA Today…
"I am so sad today. I am sad today because this attack on me by the Massachusetts State Police and the Buckland Police has made it necessary for me to defend untrue allegations and repair my reputation when one conversation with either Veronique or with me would have diffused the entire situation. Instead, the police chose aggression first over dialogue, threatened to taser me whenever I tried to speak, and all in front of my 6-year-old son. As a result, I have to defend a charge that I attacked both the woman I love and the police when nothing could be further from the truth."
Bryant's wife also released a similar statement proclaiming that nothing happened. Furthermore, Bryant's lawyer claims that race was a factor with the arrest. In that Mass Live interview, Bryant goes on to say that he lost his temper in a public way, but that the police reports are entirely false. So, on one side there are five witnesses and police reports of domestic violence versus Bryant and his wife's claims of his innocence on the other side. Clearly, judgment will have to be reserved in this case until all the facts are on the table. Nevertheless, Howard Bryant was one of the most respected voices in ESPN the Magazine and on ESPN.com. Seeing his name in this light is nothing but bad news for the leader, even if he's eventually proven innocent. His name joins Ron Franklin, Steve Phillips, Jay Mariotti, and others representing ESPN who have been in the news for the wrong reasons. Time will tell whether Bryant's ESPN career withstands these charges.

Marriage is a big step – one that many people go into without realizing there is much more to marriage than the big party of a wedding. That's why before taking the plunge there are a few essential questions you should consider asking your bride to be. Questions that will spark healthy, necessary and hopefully positive communication that will fuel a great life together!
Keep reading to learn about the questions you should ask to prompt important discussions with your intended. These can sometimes be tough discussions to have but we promise they are worth it:
Kids? You should ask your partner if she wants to have kids in the future. This can be a deal breaker, and while the decision doesn't have to be set in stone before the wedding, it should at least be discussed so you both understand each other and your individual feelings.
Religion? Another deal breaker can be religion. Often times people don't give much consideration to their partner's religion before their wedding. People tend to settle down after getting married, which can mean getting back to their religious roots. If you and your partner have different religious affiliations, make sure you discuss where you're going to have the wedding ceremony and how you're going to raise your children.
Parental Involvement? To what degree do you want your parents (and her parents) to be involved in your wedding? What about after the wedding? You and your bride to be should discuss your parents' involvement in your lives. This may seem trivial, but it has the potential to cause problems if you don't talk about it.
Career? Your careers are very big parts of yours and your fiancé's lives. This discussion should include topics such as willingness to relocate and whether or not one of you will stay home to raise your kids, if you choose to have children.
Finances? Most people dislike having conversations about money, but in this case, it's very important. Discuss your financial situations and how you plan on merging them once you're married.

During the 1990s1, the SIDS rate dropped by more than 50% across all populations in the United States. Today, although the SIDS rate remains relatively low and most caregivers report using the back sleep position, the infants in some communities remain at higher risk for SIDS and have higher SIDS rates than do infants in other communities.
The table below2 shows the breakdown of SIDS deaths for different ethnic groups in the United States.
Outreach for the Safe to Sleep® campaign uses a variety of approaches and strategies to craft effective messages about reducing the risk of SIDS and other sleep-related causes of infant death and to design effective strategies for getting these messages into communities around the United States.
To understand the lingering differences in SIDS rates, research on health education and SIDS outreach found that response to safe sleep messages differed among different communities and racial/ethnic groups
For example, the NICHD—in partnership with the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)—conducted the Chicago Infant Mortality Study to better understand why SIDS risk remained higher in African American infants. The study focused on 260 predominantly African American infants in Chicago who had died of SIDS between November 1993 and April 1996.
The study found that:
The findings provided a foundation for designing outreach to address some of the specific needs of African American communities within the context of SIDS and other sleep-related causes of infant death. Visit http://www.nichd.nih.gov/news/releases/pages/sidsrisk.aspx to learn more about this study.
To determine factors that might contribute to high rates of SIDS among American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN), the NICHD, the Indian Health Service (IHS), and the CDC funded the Aberdeen Area Infant Mortality Study in 2002. The study of Northern Plains Indian infants revealed that:
The findings suggested that the risk factors for SIDS among AI/AN communities may be slightly different from those of other communities and provided an evidence-based starting point for outreach programs. To learn more about this study, visit http://www.nichd.nih.gov/news/releases/pages/sids_riskfactors.aspx.
These and other studies, including the National Infant Sleep Position Study and the Collaborative Home Infant Monitoring Evaluation, helped the Safe to Sleep® campaign to refine its messages and outreach activities to maximize effectiveness.
To make an impact on SIDS and other sleep-related causes of infant death rates, the Safe to Sleep® campaign not only informs its outreach efforts with data and evidence, but also enhances its efforts by working with and within different communities. By relying on the expertise of community members, organizations, and governments, Safe to Sleep® is able to get effective, tailored safe sleep messages deep into communities in ways that would not be possible for the campaign working alone.
In 1999, the NICHD, First Candle (formerly SIDS Alliance), and the National Black Child Development Institute hosted a meeting with representatives from national African American organizations as a first step in capitalizing on the experience and knowledge of these organizations in reaching members of their communities. Representatives from various groups participated, including:
Participants proposed messaging and outreach strategies that had proven successful with their constituents, and the NICHD and other campaign sponsors incorporated these ideas into a broad outreach strategy for reaching African American communities. The campaign created a suite of materials tailored to African American communities, a collection of materials and training modules intended to help individuals educate people in their communities about SIDS risk reduction.
In 2001, then U.S. Surgeon General Dr. David Satcher debuted the Resource Kit at a meeting in Atlanta, GA, with members of AKA, Women in the NAACP (WIN), the NCBW, and other groups. This first national training workshop on SIDS risk reduction was followed by more than 40 regional train-the-trainer sessions.
In 2003, the AKA, WIN, and the NCBW hosted "Journey for Our Children" summits in Tuskegee, AL; Los Angeles, CA; and Detroit, MI. The summits featured training on how to use the Resource Kit and other Back to Sleep efforts related to SIDS risk reduction. These summits proved to be effective in mobilizing communities to take action in spreading safe sleep messages and in getting people excited about SIDS risk reduction activities. They also served as a primary impetus for many local outreach efforts conducted by summit participants.
To learn more about the summits, select a link below:
Since the summits, the Safe to Sleep® campaign has supported a variety of additional activities to help revise safe sleep messages appropriately and to spread them across African American communities. These activities include focused efforts in Arkansas, Alabama, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Mississippi, and Ohio.
In 2015, the NICHD and Kappa Alpha Psi® Fraternity, Inc., began collaborating on an outreach initiative to teach fathers, grandfathers, uncles, brothers, and other community members about the ways to reduce the risk of SIDS and other sleep-related causes of infant death.
In 2002, informed by the findings from the Aberdeen Study described earlier, the NICHD hosted a meeting with members of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities to discuss infant mortality and SIDS in the Northwest and Northern Plains regions of the United States. In addition to learning general information about SIDS, infant mortality statistics, and outreach methods that have been successful, participants discussed potential responses for their own areas of Indian Country with high SIDS rates.
At a follow-up meeting in Rapid City, SD, in 2003, participants identified community-driven strategies designed to increase awareness of SIDS risk reduction, as well as how to reach people with these messages while preserving cultural traditions. In addition, participants established the Healthy Native Babies Workgroup to advise the NICHD and its partners on the development of messages, materials, and outreach strategies specific for AI/AN audiences.
To further define the needs of these communities, the NICHD and members of the workgroup held a series of discussions in five IHS regions in the Northern Tier: Aberdeen, SD; Bemidji, MN; Billings, MT; Portland, OR; and Alaska. The results of these discussions helped the workgroup define safe sleep messages and identify strategies for disseminating information.
Partners in American Indian/Alaska Native outreach and the workgroup include:
The result of this unique collaboration is a suite of materials and outreach activities specifically tailored for AI/AN communities. The workgroup's activities continue, revising existing materials and messages and refining outreach strategies to ensure effective dissemination of this important information. Learn more about the Healthy Native Babies Project.
Safe to Sleep® Champions, an effort launched in 2012, enlisted spokespersons who helped share safe sleep messages in their local areas. The Champions served as the voice of the Safe to Sleep® campaign by speaking with local media and community members to raise awareness about the campaign and key messages about SIDS and other sleep-related causes of infant death.
In the pilot phase of this initiative, the NICHD recruited Champions from states with the highest rates of SIDS and other sleep-related infant deaths. The Institute selected and trained 36 Champions from 21 states to disseminate the key messages of the campaign through their local media. The Champions engaged both traditional and social media outlets. In total, they achieved 81 media placements, spreading the word about the Safe to Sleep® campaign and safe infant sleep practices to a potential audience of more than 4.8 million people.
During its second phase in 2013, the Safe to Sleep® Champions initiative engaged community leaders and stakeholders nationwide to conduct both media and community outreach. From 2012 to 2014, approximately 1,000 individuals, representing every state and two U.S. territories, volunteered to be Champions. This initiative helped to encourage health professionals and community stakeholders across the country to use consistent messaging to educate the public about safe infant sleep.
Safe to Sleep® Champions were diverse; they included:
Safe to Sleep® Champions were expected to:
Each Champion was tasked with completing at least two outreach activities to educate the media and/or their local communities about safe infant sleep. The Safe to Sleep® Champions Initiative concluded in 2014 and the campaign continues to work with local departments of health to train groups on safe infant sleep.
Guided by research and the expertise of leaders from different racial/ethnic communities, Safe to Sleep® offers materials tailored for specific audiences.

Israel Gaza conflict faced with determination, humor – yet terror is real
Israel is yet again being threatened and is on the brink of war. Tragically, there has already been substantial loss of life, including the murder of an innocent woman seven months pregnant. Israeli tanks and troops are amassing on the border with Gaza and it seems like a full-scale invasion of the coastal strip is inevitable.
It's a repeat of the war that took place in the winter of 2008. This time, however, I have a slightly different perspective. Although I used to live in Israel, visit there annually and am keenly tuned into what is going on there, I am not actually there. I live in the comfort of the United States where my life if not threatened by a rocket shot randomly and indiscriminately into areas populated by innocent civilians.
There was a time when we thought that this was something that only Palestinian terrorists did. Responsible governments would never specifically target civilians. The Arab Spring has taught us otherwise. This is the modus operandi of Arab governments throughout the region. They have no respect for human life — even for their own citizens. Now the Hamas Government in Gaza is visiting the same terror that has reigned on millions of Syrians for the past year, upon innocent citizens of Israel.
In many ways the Arab Spring has put the conflict with the Palestinians in sharp focus. Governments whose ethos centers around the concept that might makes right cannot be squared with those whose principle ideas are based on respect for human rights, dignity and life. How, can there be a basis for peace if fundamental human values are not shared?
In order to understand this conflict it is vital to understand this dynamic. It is a mistake to assume that all share our values. In some regions of the world honor is more important than human life. This is why honor killings are so common in the Middle East and in some parts of Asia. For many in the Middle East gaining or maintaining power, honor or prestige trumps the value of human life.

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Arrowhead Stadium has often been a house of horrors when the Broncos visit. In fact, the Kansas City Chiefs have won 15 of the past 22 meetings with the Broncos (7-3) in games played here.
A Kansas City victory Sunday would make national headlines, however. The Chiefs (1-9) have lost seven straight since winning at New Orleans in Week Three and media covering the team contend they have been competitive in only five of those seven losses.
Broncos win
The Denver defense held the Chiefs scoreless in the fourth quarter and Matt Prater finally hit a 34-yard field goal with :18 seconds remaining as the Broncos got out of Kansas City with a 17-9 victory.
Broncos back ahead
The Chiefs regained the lead in the third quarter, after their third field goal of the day, a Ryan Succop 49-yarder.
But Peyton Manning connected with Demaryius Thomas for a 30-yard TD pass that put the Broncos ahead 14-9 at the 4:46 mark.
Broncos take first lead
The Broncos were outplayed in the first half in Kansas City — and yet they took a 7-6 lead and a total yardage advantage into the third quarter.
Peyton Manning led an 11-play, 94-yard drive in 4:57 to end the first half, capped by a 7-yard TD pass to Jacob Tamme.
The Broncos outgained K.C. in yards 151-144 through two quarters.
Manning was 13-of-17 passing for 137 yards, with 1 TD and 1 INT. Brady Quinn was 9-for-11 for 88 yards.
Knowshon Moreno was the only Denver running back with a carry in the first half, in place of the injure Willis McGahee. He gained 26 yards on six carries.
Chiefs lead after first
Kansas City got two field goals from Ryan Succop — from 34 and 22 yards — to take an early 6-0 lead over the Broncos going to the second quarter.
Matt Prater missed a 47-yard field goal for the Broncos, when his knuckleball of a kick swerved wide right.
Peyton Manning and the Broncos' offense got just one first down in the first quarter. And the Chiefs had a 62-2 edge in rushing yards.
Broncos see a Chiefs team struggling
Kansas City has lacked consistent production at quarterback, which is just shy of a death sentence in the NFL. Former Broncos Brady Quinn will start for the Chiefs Sunday in place of former starter Matt Cassel.
The Chiefs' defense is ranked 6th in the AFC and 15 in the NFL. But it will be tested by a Broncos offense that has scored at least 30 points during its current five game winning streak.
Also, Broncos left tackle Ryan Clady has become a stone wall. He is the NFL's only offensive tackle who has started every game and not allowed a sack.
It will be interesting to see how the Broncos' running game fares without usual starter Willis McGahee for the first time. McGahee is out for six to eight weeks and Broncos coach John Fox said last week that he likely will be replaced by a committee of rookie Ronnie Hillman, Lance Ball and Knowshon Moreno.
Veteran cornerback Tracy Porter is among Denver's inactives for today's game. Porter has missed the past five games due to a recurrence of pre-seizure symptoms but practiced last week and was hopeful of playing Sunday. — Tom Kensler, The Denver Post
Other Broncos inactives:
QB Caleb Hanie
WR Andre Caldwell
OG Manny Ramirez
TE Julius Thomas
NT Sealver Siliga
The Broncos have only six inactives rather than seven because McGahee's spot on the roster has not been filled.
Kansas City inactives:
QB Ricky Stanzi
WR Steve Breaston
WR Devon Wylie
DB Tysyn Hartman
RB Cyrus Gray
OT Branden Albert
DL Jerrell Powe
Notable is the absence of Albert, the Chiefs' regular left tackle, who is injured. In addition, two other Kansas City offensive linemen — guard Jon Asamoah and center Ryan Lilja — were limited in practice during the week.
That may not bode well against a Broncos defense, led by linebacker Von Miller (13 sacks), that loves to pressure the quarterback.

This week on ABC's Castle, Rick's worst nightmare came true when a murder investigation evolved into the search for a Middle Eastern businessman's daughter, who, it turns out, was abducted with Alexis.
GONE, BABY, GONE | The episode opens with Rick and Martha missing Alexis, yet knowing they must let the Columbia freshman have "her own time in the world." Rick is continuing that thought, touting his (measured degree of) selflessness as a father, as he and Kate come upon their case — Hasim, a well-armed Saudi who'd been mowed down by a van after shooting at it. Discovering a trove of weapons and surveillance gear in Hasim's apartment, the team speculate that he was a spy, or he was stalking the college-aged girl, Sara, whose place he was bugging. Security cam footage shows that Sara was abducted by the van, and Hasim — secretly hired by Sara's extremely rich father to act as a bodyguard — tried to stop it.
Rick and Kate visit the last place Sara was seen, a hotel where she attended a speech on climate change. When Castle discovers that Alexis was also in attendance, he calls her to see if she knows anything — only to hear her cell phone ring from inside the hotel's lost-and-found box. "They took Alexis, too," he worries to Kate.
Rick and Kate review the facts as known with FBI Agent Harris, who suspects that Alexis was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, and that Sara's abduction may have been a politically driven act of revenge. Distraught to see how rough a crowd may be involved in this, Rick is pulled into a hug from Kate. "Gates will see…," he cautions. "I don't care," Kate defers. "We're going to find her, Castle. We will."
LOST GIRLS | As RySposito narrow down the getaway van's location to 20 blocks in Queens, Rick watches Alexis' website videos, where he realizes that she had revealed where she and Sara were going that night, to the speech. Rick phones Kate to track the IP addresses of whomever accessed that video. Kate starts to say something reassuring, but Rick stops her, barely getting the words out: "Don't… promise me you'll find her unless you can do it. Because I'll never forgive you, anymore than I'd ever forgive myself."
Rick meets up with the team in Greenpoint, where they've found the van — and a lot of blood. But it matches neither Alexis nor Sara. And it looks like the kidnappers switched cars. "What have you brought me into?" a highly concerned Rick asks Sara's father. His answer: "I wish I knew."
Somewhere, in a windowless room, Alexis and Sara come to, then take stock of their captivity. Alexis finds a bathroom, with clothes, meaning they're meant to be kept alive. They also deduce that they're in an old building, not in a cellar, and not in the city. After failing to "build a relationship" with the Arabic-speaking grunt who slides them food, Alexis grabs Sara's bobby pins and sets out to pick the lock.
'MY LIFE'S ABOUT TO CHANGE AGAIN' | Espo IDs the getaway driver, Stevens, who's obviously been shot and is probably holed up with his nurse sister. Beckett & Co. find him there, but he's not talking. "I'd like a minute with him," Rick says icily. In private, Castle explains, "The girl with the red hair… I'm her father. So it's just you… and me." After the desperate dad fails to get Stevens to volunteer info, we cut away and hear Stevens bellowing in anguish.
"Tell me what happened in there," Kate later asks Rick, as Harris' team storms the farmhouse address Harris gave up. "I 'appealed to his humanity,'" Rick responds. When Kate remarks that she didn't think he had that side to him, Rick specifies, "When it comes to people I love, I do." (Watching Beckett, I can't tell if she's chilled in general or more specifically startled to have uncovered this side of her lover, as Meredith's warning still bangs around in her bean.)
Rick reflects on when he first held Alexis as a baby and felt that "instant, inexplicable love" you only get with a child. "I knew my life had changed forever… and now it's about to change again."
THE FRENCH DISCONNECTION | When the farmhouse invasion only turns up the dead kidnapper, Harris comments that cracking this case "may be more complicated" than previously thought. Back at the precinct, Kate offers to Rick, "There are hopeful signs here" — to which he can only counter, "How? Our main suspect is dead, we have no idea who we're looking for… We're back to square one." Kate responds with a Castle-ism: "We've done it before with less to go on."
Meanwhile, Alexis has picked the lock, and she and Sara split up to search for exits. Alexis finds a cell phone in an office, but it won't dial 911. So she Skypes her relieved dad briefly, until she hears the guard frantically searching for them. She drops the phone, allowing the FBI team to trace the call to…
"This can't be right," the FBI tech observes, before reporting on the girls' location: "Paris, France" — as a bewildered Alexis bursts out a rooftop door to see the Eiffel Tower in the distance. What the frog?!
What did you think of Part 1 of the February sweeps two-parter? Did Nathan Fillion blow you away with his steely (confronting the driver) and/or anxious (awaiting the blood-type testing) performances? And does anyone else suspect that Alexis was actually the primary target here?

I started doing some testing with OpenSpeedShop, using Papi for hardware counters, and am finding inconsistencies between
the older dual core (275) and the newer quad core (2380) Opterons for our compute nodes in one of our clusters.
Going back to the Papi tests, I see that f.ex. for the ctests/flops, I get very different counts for the two.
The source for this test, states that the number of flops I should be seeing on Intel compatible architectures should be 2*(INDEX^3).
With INDEX=1000, I get Total flpins: 2000000000 on the quad core systems, but I get Total flpins: 6000000000 on the dual core systems.
I have tried playing with the environment variable PAPI_OPTERON_FP, to see it this will make a difference, no avail.
Any suggestions for how to make the two types of Opteron systems consistent?

SANFORD, Fla., May 22 (UPI) -- Attorneys defending a Florida man accused of killing unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin have released scores of new photos ahead of their client's trial.
Some of the photographs appear to support the claim of former Neighborhood Watch volunteer George Zimmerman that Martin's shooting in February 2012 was self-defense, the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel reported Wednesday.
Photos taken at the Sanford police station the night of the shooting show a cut across the bridge of Zimmerman's nose and several areas of redness on the back and sides of his head.
New paperwork filed by Zimmerman's attorneys said Martin brought marijuana with him to Sanford and used it at least once before he was killed.
Two weeks ago prosecutors filed paperwork asking Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson to ban defense attorneys and witnesses from telling jurors that autopsy blood samples taken from Trayvon tested positive for marijuana use.
Defense attorney Don West wrote that the information is relevant so jurors should know about it.
A hearing is scheduled May 28.

It's dynamite with a laser beam, guaranteed to blow your allowance! Personally, we're holding out for the white spandex catsuit collection, but until that day comes, we'll settle for these baubles commemorating Queen frontman Freddie Mercury. Press release highlights:
LOVE – Made in Heaven: The Freddie Mercury Collection from acclaimed jewelry designer Udi Behr was introduced today by Love and Pride, the online jewelry destination for people who believe in diversity, equality and tolerance.
"Freddie Mercury was a man of extremes," said Udi Behr, Chief Designer for Love and Pride. "As Freddie said, 'I have this hard, macho shell, which I project on stage, but there's a much softer side too, which melts like butter.' The buttered side of Freddie was all about love..."
Each piece in LOVE – Made in Heaven: The Freddie Mercury Collection is emblazoned with the word LOVE, with the letter "O" executed in a stunning, patented double trillion (triangle) with diamonds or semi-precious stones. All pieces feature the exclusive "Made in Heaven" signature – a tribute to one of Freddie's most memorable solo tracks which later became the title of Queen's posthumous album with Freddie, released in 1995. The collection is available exclusively at www.loveandpride.com, and will range in price from $200 to $20,000.

The info just posted by BBNews is for Rogers in Canada, with the flip phone Pearl initially being targeted toward students via a Back To School promo. Here are the details:
Retail Price: $599.99
3-Year Voice and Data Contract Price: $99.99
Special Promotional Price: $49.99 CDN
The special promotional price that Rogers is hoping to sell a lot of 8220s with requires the student sign up for the $45 Student Plan, $15 an up Email Plan, and $15 or $20 Value Pack.
The $45 Student Plan includes:
- 450 Weekday Minutes
- Unlimited Evenings and Weekends starting at 6pm
- MY5 Canada-Wide (Unlimited talk, SMS, and MMS to any five numbers in Canada)
- Unlimited Local Incoming Minutes
- $5 off Value Pack for duration of contract
Sum up the monthly commitment and i'd argue it's on the hefty side for most students, but I guess time will tell just how attractive this pricing is. It'll be interesting to see how T-Mobile gets the
Kickstart flip Pearl down to $50. Hopefully it'll be a bit better deal than this.

Small Space Solution: No Space Night Stands
This week's house call caught our eye because of its tiny nightstand. It's a shelf really, just large enough for a book or a clock or a glass of water (choose one). If you'd like to move one step up from the floor (no pun intended), here are some ideas that might work for you.
- Sarah's Bright & Tidy Live/Work Space: a shelf on a radiator makes use of an otherwise wasted space
- Scott's From Brooklyn To Beach Bungalow: The tiny shelf that got us thinking. Clean and minimal. Not for hoarders. With no space for a lamp, you'll need something attached to the wall or that clamps to the headboard.
- Look! A New Bedroom: An overhead shelf is a solution in a narrow space. Just hang it high enough that you won't bump your head when you sit up.
- Keegan's Balance of New and Old: If your bed is under a window, the window's ledge naturally doubles as a nightstand. Nice thing about this option? You can cultivate a little greenery.
- Elodie's Fun Feminine Studio: In a studio, a bookcase that acts as a divider can also hide the night's needs from day view.

The ferociousness of the Dust Bowl never seemed as real as it did in Ken Burns' two-part documentary that aired on PBS last week. Grownups who'd lived through those devastating days as children spoke of the dust stinging their bare skin and for one man, killing his beloved baby sister with "dust pneumonia."
The ferociousness of the Dust Bowl never seemed as real as it did in Ken Burns' two-part documentary that aired on PBS last week. Grownups who'd lived through those devastating days as children spoke of the dust stinging their bare skin and for one man, killing his beloved baby sister with "dust pneumonia."
For Lodi's Betsie Grimes, "It was like my life story."
When she was 6, Grimes and her family joined the migration to California, leaving parched, wind-blown Plainview, Texas for California and its promise of jobs and prosperity.
"I recognized the old cars," Grimes said after watching the second half of the documentary. "We left Texas destitute in one of those old cars, with everything we owned on it."
They'd endured their share of dust storms before heading west.
"I remember the sand storms," Grimes, 80, said. "We didn't know what to call it at the time. I remember stuffing rags around the windows and we'd go to the cellar as fast we could when we saw the clouds coming. I remember my dad and my uncle putting the mattress up against the cellar door to try to keep the dust out.
"The fun thing was when we'd come out of the cellar. The dirt was so thick on tables and beds, you'd write and make pictures in the sand."
The sand provided no amusement for her parents, Harold and Viola Smith, who'd eloped at 17 and 16, respectively. Harold Smith was a farm worker, but one farm after another failed, and he traveled to Oklahoma and back in search of work, but found nothing to sustain his growing family.
Not long after Grimes' baby sister, Wanda, was born in 1937, the family headed west. Her aunt and uncle joined them.
"You'd take jobs along the way to pay for gas to get you to the next stop," Grimes remembered.
Her memories are hazy, those of a child.
"I never remember being unhappy, because I had great parents," she said.
They were proud, hard-working people, lured to California by the false promise of jobs galore. Reaching the Golden State after brief stops in New Mexico and Arizona was memorable, even for a 6-year-old.
Their faith helped the family through the tough days they'd left behind and those that were to come. They, like other migrants who'd escaped the barren plains, were not wanted in California. The family camped out in a tent and found work where they could. Migrant camps were dirty and unsafe, Grimes said. Her mom preferred sleeping out under the stars.
Grimes' parents found their first work pulling carrots in the Imperial Valley and eventually made their way up the San Joaquin Valley picking every kind of fruit grown. She helped, too, from pulling carrots to climbing to the top of cherry trees at harvest time.
Money was always hard to come by, although Grimes doesn't remember going hungry.
One time, though, her mom was prepared to steal food from a local Safeway store. Instead, she ran into a woman she'd met at one of the family's many stops along the way, and that woman gave Grimes' mother some money as well as groceries from her own cupboard.
What little migrant families had, they shared with others.
Within a few years, after a long stretch camping under walnut trees in Linden, Grimes' family moved into a house on Woodbridge Road.
"My dad had gotten a job in the grape fields," she said. "We had money and some relatives came and lived with us. On Thanksgiving day we had a turkey. The war had just started and my mom said, 'We have so much, we have to share.' So my dad went uptown and brought back four servicemen. I never even got their names. My mom just said, 'You go find some servicemen,' and they came for the day. It was our Okie family, grandparents, aunts, uncles and four soldiers."
Grimes uses the word Okie with pride. She's never been ashamed of her heritage. She shouldn't be.
Those immigrants suffered heartbreaking losses of their homes and livelihoods and came here looking for work, only to be treated with disdain. Grimes attended 29 different schools, eight in 1940 alone according to the memoirs her mother wrote. The Smiths understood the importance of a good education.
That education didn't matter was just one misconception about the Dust Bowl migrants. They were considered dirty and ignorant. They were dirty. They had little access to baths and showers, or even clean water at times. Many had left school early to work in support of their families, but they were not stupid and they were not lazy. They lost all they had, but many, like Grimes' parents, were too proud to take a handout from the government. Instead, they sought work to support themselves.
"You get made fun of your whole life for being an Okie," Grimes said. "When you'd go to school, the kids were cruel. The teachers were cruel, too."
She and her family endured the taunts and made a life for themselves, settling in the Lodi area. Grimes and her sister graduated from Lodi High School, and Grimes went to secretarial school before attending Biola Bible College and becoming a nurse. It was a position she held for 45 years.
A child born in the Dust Bowl, who knew tough times and cruelty before she was 10 years old, much less a teenager, devoted herself to caring for others.
That's part of Harold and Viola Smith's legacy, but only a piece of it. The other is the life they made for themselves, in a state that didn't want them, devoid of bitterness.
"It was a great life. They were always glad they came to California," Grimes said. "They understood the prejudice. You understand that you don't belong. You're always an outsider. You never belong. If you had food on the table, though, it doesn't matter."

Posted on 07/18/2007 4:36:46 PM PDT by Doctor13
NEW BOOK available now from The American Council for Kosovo!
Hiding Genocide in Kosovo: A Crime against God and Humanity
by Iseult Henry
Old habits die hard: A yellow cross fixed by German NATO to the door of a Serbian house to show that Christians live there -- but not for long.
Finally, the truth is coming out about the Kosovo jihad and how it has been aided and abetted by NATO, the UN, and the EU. Thanks to Iseult Henry, maybe the shameful and ultimately suicidal support of the Kosovo jihadists by Western powers will finally be ended. -- Robert Spencer, director, Jihad Watch; author of the New York Times Bestsellers The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) and The Truth About Muhammad.
Our so-called adversary press, like the U.S. Government, has ignored the plight of Christians in Kosovo. Incredibly, the U.S. and the U.N. are destroying the sovereignty of Serbia in order to create a Muslim state in Europe. This book tells the story suppressed by our media that all Americans need to know. -- Cliff Kincaid, editor, Accuracy in Media.
When one spends nearly a decade writing in isolation about the countless and unending injustices against the Serbs, she forms a habit of second-guessing herself: Am I exaggerating? Am I biased? Could such unadulterated evil really be happening so one-sidedly? And how could the colossal hoax that brought us to it succeed so completely in this day and age? Surely Ive gotten it all wrong somehow, and the rest of the world is right. Now, thanks to this book by Iseult Henry, we know the truth: the reality is even more unspeakable. With this account of the atrocities visited upon the Christians of Kosovo by the free world-sponsored Muslims of the Balkans, Henry delivers the book that thousands of dead Serbs screaming in silence have been waiting for. Not exactly screaming in silence, for as the author describes, at night the bells at the monastery of St. Uros toll with no one pulling their ropes, and lights appear from no source, sending us a message that despite our best efforts to do so, there is no hiding from our crimes against God and humanity--even in the Balkans. -- Julia Gorin, independent commentator.

Hiding Genocide in Kosovo
At a time when the Western powers foremost among them the United States prepare what they hope will be an endgame for their predetermined solution to the Serbian question, now comes a searing ray of truth that cuts through the fog of lies in which Kosovo has been shrouded. The work of Iseult Henry, the pen name of a current member of the international mission in Kosovo, Hiding Genocide in Kosovo: A Crime against God and Humanity is not a typical book of the current events or international affairs genre. Nor is it a journalistic exposé. It is simply a book of stories, true stories of what has taken place in Kosovo since the end of the 1999 war: shooting, beheading, burning, bomb attack, maiming, rape, abduction, torture, desecration, theft, mutilation, and harassment. While Western policymakers (the U.S., EU, UN, NATO, OSCE, etc.) delude themselves that they are buying the goodwill of the Muslim world by the sacrifice of a small Christian community in Kosovo, the perpetrators know this is yet another step toward Islamic dominance of all Europe. This is a struggle for the soul and future not just for Kosovo, not just for Serbia, but for an entire continent.
-- from the Publisher's Foreword by Jim Jatras, Director of The American Council for Kosovo.
A Balkans ping.
The Islamic pigs accuse the west of planting Israel in the middle east. Now, I guess it's time for them to be allowed to plant a terror Islamic state in Europe.
The worthless UN actually looks on Kosovo muslims burning byzantine churches and does nothing to stop them.
I have read tha over 600 churches have been destroyed.
I wish I could find pictures. Useless UN blue hats just watch
The number of 600 destroyed churches is characteristic of another area of Muslim invasion - Northern Cyprus. Again, churches survived Ottomans but could not survive NATO Turkey.
I saw pics of the idiots actually watching as muslims burned and gutted an Orthdox Church.
Thanks for the info, and the insight.
clinton Legacy bump!
The Germans put yellow crosses on the doors of Serbs. Reminds me of the yellow stars of David the German Nazi made Jews wear before they were killed.
History repeating itself?
clintoon put us in that war...illegally.
"Useless UN blue hats just watch"
Not surprising. They did the same thing at Srebrenica. You remember Srebrenica don't you? The place where Serbian national TV showed footage of Orthodox priests blessing Serb special forces about to kill thousands of civilians.
Yeah, Serbs had it hard.
Nah, its more like Serbs lost any moral right to Kosovo. "Greater Serbia" is going to end up so small, isolated, poor and backwards it'll be a pimple on Europe's ass.
Heh. Karma.
Oh. You're concerned about the LEGALITY of US interventions overseas?
Gee, this could be fun.
"I saw pics of the idiots actually watching as muslims burned and gutted an Orthdox Church."
I know. It's horrible. And to think it's happening to Serbs. They've been such paragons of ethnic and religious toleration ....
Srebrenica hoax alert, been there done that, anything else you want to lie about?
Don't forget the latest accomplice in this jihad--George W. Bush.
After all their two main eye witnesses -Erdemovic and Nikolic - had both spent significant time in a loony bin and both lied under oath.
In addition, the ICTY's main evidence were ABIH intercepts which didn't bother with dates, times, signatures, etc. Name a single military that doesn't bother with trifles like dates, etc.
Finally the Helge Brunborg demographics expert had duplicated name after duplicated name on his wee "missing list"
And in addition, the ICTY's sequence of events of the column made no sense. At all.
God help me, but if someone said this:
"The first and foremost of such conclusions is surely the one on the incompatibility of Islam and non-Islamic systems. There can be no peace or coexistence between the "Islamic faith" and non- Islamic societies and political institutions. ... Islam clearly excludes the right and possibility of activity of any strange ideology on its own turf. Therefore, there is no question of any laicistic principles, and the state should be an expression and should support the moral concepts of the religion. ..." Alija Izatbegovic
and was doing this to my friends and family "up to 8,000" would have been just a start!
And for "a Consistent Libertarian", you should not want to have been involved in other people's battles to begin with.
