Nicolas Colsaerts
Competing in only his second European Tour event of 2014 after playing the early part of the season on the US PGA Tour, with a best of tied 19th in the Farmers Insurance Open. However, returned to something like his best last week with a tie for second in the Maybank Malaysian Open. Has a liking for China, having claimed his first European Tour title in this event in 2011 and came very close to a successful defence in 2012. Clearly a player who is happy with the Far East conditions. The course is quite generous off the tee with not very thick rough to speak of, which may suit his big hitting game.
Ross Fisher
Already a winner this year at the Tshwane Open at the beginning of March although has not played since his tie for 37th at the Trophée Hassan II. Has made six of his eight cuts this season. Looking to become the first multiple winner this season on The European Tour. Making his fifth appearance in the Volvo China Open. Does not have a great record in the event, but Genzon Golf Club is the first European Tour event to be staged there, so there will be no real advantage for anyone.
Pablo Larrazábal
Fresh from his eighth place in the Maybank Malaysian Open, the Spanish player will head to the Volvo China Open in form. Although yet to win the Volvo China Open, he has been remarkably consistent in the event in recent times. He finished tied fifth in 2013, tied 18th in 2012, tied tenth in 2011 and eighth in 2010, albeit none of these finishes on the 2014 course of Genzon Golf Club. He clearly has the game to compete well in Far East conditions. Bidding to become the first Spanish player to win the Volvo China Open.
Ian Poulter
Comes into the event having produced a solid performance in the Masters Tournament, finishing in a tie for 20th. A player very comfortable competing in Asia and China especially. His last European Tour victory was in China at the 2012 WGC – HSBC Champions. Since his debut in the Volvo China Open in 2012, when he finished in a share of 29th, he has played four European Tour events in China and has been placed, fourth, first, 15th and second. Currently leads The European Tour category in putts per round, averaging 27.5. So if the Englishman can hit plenty of his approach shots close he must have a big chance.
Henrik Stenson
Although yet to hit the heights of 2013, his recent form has been consistent; a tie for 16th in the WGC – Cadillac Championship and a share of 14th in the Masters Tournament. His first appearance in the Volvo China Open since 2010, where he finished tied eighth. Has tasted success in China before, partnering Robert Karlsson to victory in the 2008 World Cup. Should he win he would become the first Swede to win the Volvo China Open and if he needed any further incentive, the chance to go to Number One in the Official World Golf Ranking, subject to no late player withdraws.
Will these chosen five make your team for this week's instalment of the Fantasy Race to Dubai game? If you haven't yet signed up for the competition, which offers weekly, monthly and season-long prizes, head over to create your team now…

text: Hello. I'm really getting annoyed by these black bars (letterboxing the video), 1080p and 720p mainly. So i decided to do something with it. I've read some stuff i found, mainly another forum sources, which said that iTunes won't let me transfer higher res. than 1920x1080. Do any of you have a solution? I thought about dividing iPads 4 resolution by 2, so 1024x768. It keeps the 4:3 ratio needed to go fullscreen without letterbox. But I'm really scared of video quality in the end. I'd be grateful for any kind of help you can offer. (I'm from Czech, my English may not be very good.)

Spring 2012 Updates
3/8/2012 Planned Downtime on 3/11/2012. Blackboard will be down during our weekly scheduled maintenance window this coming Sunday from 7am-noon.
– Blackboard Support Team
2/3/12 – Quizzes freezing up in Blackboard
Problem: A student attempts to take an exam and the screen is frozen (unclickable).
Solution: We have narrowed this down to the use of an unsupported browser, Firefox 3.5. If the student users a supported browser this issue will resolve itself. Here is the link to all of the supported browsers in Bb 9.1 .
Blackboard outage this morning
When: Tuesday, February 2
ITCS would like to inform campus that Blackboard experienced an outage this morning that lasted from 10:02am till 10:35am. The service has been restored and is now working.
If you have any questions regarding this outage please contact the IT Help Desk, www.help.ecu.edu .
We have a planned downtime this coming Sunday during our regular maintenance window (2/5/12) from 8:00am – 8:15am.
If your students report problems opening a PDF file in your course, they may be using a Mac. They likely get a message that there is a missing plugin, although Mac computers have built-in PDF readers. (It is not a Blackboard issue, but rather how Mac and web browsers work with the PDF file.) The work-around: Ask students to Control+Click>Save Link As and save it to their computers. They should have no trouble opening it that way.
Course copies and collapses are processing at a near normal turn-around at this point. Remember, you can do your own course copies, but we need to do the collapses. See the Faculty Support blog page for instructions on doing your own course copies.
1/6/ 4:30pm
- Due to the high request numbers please expect a 24-36 hour turn around on all course copy and course collapse requests.
- The " Tegrity Classes" link you see in your course navigation will disappear this weekend.

India: Modi's "make or break" year
Held on Wednesday, March 2, 2016
With support from Allen & Overy
Madhur Jha (executive director and deputy CEO, senior global economist, Standard Chartered)
Dr. Anand Kumar (Union Bank of India)
David Cornell (chief investment officer, Ocean Dial)
Dr Pallavi Roy (SOAS)
Sanjeev Dhuna (partner, Allen & Overy)
At the end of January, PM Narendra Modi spelled out "his elaborate vision for a gung-ho India" as (The Economic Times) put it, focusing on economic reform and an end to "high-level corruption". Two weeks before that, the FT had called this a "make or break year for Modi's India development dream" – warning of a "mood of glum caution" on the ground that contradicts official forecasts of 7-8% growth, substantially outstripping China.
So, who's right? And what chance does the Modi/Jaitley team (which came in on a wave of Indophilia in mid-2014) have of delivering on a promise of sustained high growth and the emergence of India as a global tech giant?
We have looked at India before (in April 2013), but it is always worth another visit. We are, therefore, delighted to have been able to put together a distinguished panel to argue over the perennial mystery that is the Indian economy:
- Anand Kumar is executive director and deputy CEO at Union Bank of India in London, which he joined in mid-2013 from the Bank of Baroda. Prior to that, he spent eight years with ICICI in India and the UK.
- Madhur Jha is senior global economist at Standard Chartered, which she joined from HSBC in 2013. Her responsibilities include coordinating global economic forecasts and developing cross-border research.
- David Cornell is Chief Investment Officer at Ocean Dial, a London-based asset management company that is focused on India, running several equity funds. Prior to joining Ocean Dial (where he arranged an MBO in 2013), he was an Emerging Market fund manager with Henderson Global Investors.
- Pallavi Roy is Lecturer in International Economics at SOAS's South Asia Institute. Her research interests include the economic performance of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu states in India and Pakistan and the impact of liberalisation.
- Sanjeev Dhuna is a partner at A&O, where he is a core member of the Africa and India Groups, acting on a broad range of cross-border structured banking transactions.
India is potentially one of the brightest stars in the investment sky, but it has disappointed many times before. Is the present government going to break the mould?

The California State University Board of Trustees made the wise choice Tuesday to postpone voting on a creative fee structure plan aimed at pushing students to graduate more quickly. It's a good idea — in abstract. But the proposal before the board was not.
The timing was especially a problem, coming the same week as voters adopted Prop. 30, in part to avoid fee hikes at CSU.
CSU trustees are to be commended for listening to feedback from students — and reacting. In the past, the board has seemed impervious to the outcry of the student body.
However, they shouldn't drop the idea altogether. It is heartening that the CSU is looking at something more thoughtful than yet another across-the-board tuition hike that hurts all students. It's an intriguing idea to charge more money to CSU students who stick around too long or who repeat a class. But the original proposal needs retooling.
For example, CSU officials wanted to charge $372 per unit — the same amount paid by out-of-state students — to so-called "super seniors" who accumulate more than 160 units (most majors require 120 units to graduate). This ignores the fact that it's becoming increasingly difficult for students who are honestly trying to graduate within four years. Course offerings have been cut, and competition for the remaining courses, particularly core courses, is high.
Another proposed fee calls for charging $91 to students who repeat a class. This is unfair because students who earn at least a "C" grade are already barred from re-taking a class for the sake of a higher grade. So it would penalize students who earn a "D" or an "F" for a first offense, but may actually need the class to graduate. That seems awfully harsh, especially if the class is difficult or the student simply didn't have time to study due to job constraints or other problems during the semester.
A third fee calls for charging $182 per unit to students who actually want to speed through college and take more than 18 units per semester. This seems particularly counterproductive when the ostensible goal is to move students to graduation faster.
While the average student takes 12 units per semester, some prefer to load up on classes that might be offered only occasionally while others simply want to graduate early — something the CSU system should actually support. Perhaps the fee should only apply to students who sign up for extra courses, only to drop out when it's too late for anyone else to register.
Granted, there are students who take advantage of the system and linger on campus longer than they should. That is unlikely to change, no matter what the fee structure.
CSU officials are on the right track, thinking of innovative ways to raise more revenue (an estimated $30 million) and achieve certain educational goals. On Tuesday it was unclear if the trustees were dropping the idea completely. We hope not, and will be eagerly awaiting the revised proposal.

Dark-eyed Juncos (above) began appearing in the yard last Sunday. I typically see them a week or two earlier, but this is an unestablished yard, so it's not surprising that it took a little longer for them to find it. A few days ago, a small flock of at least 5 were probing the yard for seed. They were joined by a Song Sparrow. Songs Sparrows are year-round residents here, but usually breed in more rural areas. They often invade urban areas in search of food in the winter. At the end of that day, a larger member of the sparrow family, a Spotted Towhee, was seen scratching around under the sunflower feeder. Hopefully we'll see Golden-crowned and White-crowned Sparrows in the next month.
|A female Dark-eyed Junco feeds on millet and cracked corn.
|A Song Sparrow joins the flock of Juncos
Several other uncommon species have come through the yard. A week ago, a migrating Yellow Warbler and Hermit Thrush were seen foraging through our bushes. A Townsend's Warbler was observed in the neighbor's bushes last Sunday. Townsend's Warblers are often regular visitors to suet feeders from November through April. Their migration patterns are complicated due to multiple populations migrating through the same regions at different times. The individual that I saw last Sunday was most likely an early migrant from the north or east of here. This morning a small flock of Cedar Waxwings briefly congregated in our magnolia tree.
In other news, Bewick's Wrens have been very active as of late. Hopefully they stay around for the duration of the winter. Northern Flickers have been loudly conspicuous in the immediate area, but have not spent much time at the suet feeder. Chestnut-backed Chickadees have been observed on-and-off again recently as well.
Birds aren't the only newcomers to the area. The Western Gray Squirrel shown above is relatively uncommon in our Fox Squirrel-dominated neighborhood and has been hanging around for the past week.
That's it for now. I hope to have additional sparrow species and possibly a Purple Finch to report next time.

(AP Photo/Ted S. Warren) View 2 more images (Newser) – Things started peacefully during May Day protests in Seattle yesterday—but they didn't stay that way. Police arrested 18 people after rocks and pipes were hurled and "smoke devices" lit, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports. Eight officers and at least one passerby were injured in the fray, according to reports. The day began with a largely peaceful march for immigration reform; that event saw a minor conflict with figures in costume—Phoenix Jones types, the P-I suggests. It was later that the real trouble began. An anti-capitalist march was planned to begin in the early evening; shortly after, police cited "flares or smoke devices" being used. Groups threw metal bars at store windows, cops said, and eventually police used pepper spray to "clear the streets." Meanwhile, in Washington, DC, two protest groups feuded, with some throwing flag poles and bags of urine, CNN reports. One group called itself the White Student Union; the other, the May Day Workers. May 1 is International Workers' Day, prompting worldwide demonstrations. A smoke device is dropped in front of a row of Seattle Police officers. (AP Photo/Ted S.

Pulling PrincesBook - 2004
From Library Staff
LibraryK8 May 02, 2011
Hoping to become more popular at her English boarding school, fifteen-year-old Californian Calypso Kelly invents a fake boyfriend, until she realizes that her wit and skill at fencing may be enough to attract the attention of a real-life prince.

Okay, so here's the deal; before reading this book I accidentally read the second book in the series first, and I completely adored it! So of course, once I realized my simple mistake, I just had to read the first book too. I don't understand why, but I just did. And you know what? I didn't like it, and I didn't hate it. It was just alright, and that's a problem for me. But my main problem with the book is that all the drama in the book started near the end of it! Which is a real dissapointment for me. And also what bothered me was how shallow minded some of the characters were! But nonetheless I did enjoy reading the book, and can't wait to read the third one!
A nice light-hearted read, this novel is quite charming. I found Calypso to be a very easy character to root for, whether it be in her fencing competitions or her pursuit of Prince Freddie. This novel also made me realize how awesome it would be to go to an all girls English boarding school, especially if it was anything like it is in the novel.
I had to really pull myself out of the world I once knew as a teen, pull out the English/Canadian dictionary for this one. (Then I saw there was one included at the back of the book).
This was lighhearted and a fun read.
All I can say is that if Fencing was a sport where I went to High School and we could have Lop Earred rabbits, I may have pulled a prince myself!

Let's get right to today's email, which comes from Cody …
I'm working on a pilot right now and after reading your book (ok, only half so far), I was wondering about blending genres. Is it feasible to blend a procedural with an event drama? i.e. A cop show with three stories, two of them getting solved each episode, the other extending over the season/series.
Well, first of all, Cody — thank you so much for reading the book … I hope it helps and I see your pilot on TV soon!
Just to get everyone up to speed: in my book, Small Screen, Big Picture: A Writer's Guide to the TV Business, I break TV dramas into four categories, or genres. These "genres" are more inclusive than traditional genres like "romance" or "science fiction"; I base these genres not on the kinds of stories the show tells, but on how the series, as a whole, is architected. The four categories are:
Procedurals are shows that derive their stories from a specific procedure, such as NCIS, House, or Criminal Minds. Each episode begins with the introduction of a problem, which our main characters must solve using their unique procedure. CSI uses forensics, The Practice used lawyers and the legal system, etc. Procedurals traditionally tell standalone stories — stories that have a complete beginning, middle, and end in each hour.
Soaps are shows that derive story from the relationships of their characters, like 90210, All My Children, or Dynasty. As a result, stories are "serialized," often stretching over many episodes, weeks, months, or even years.
Character-driven dramas
These shows fall somewhere in between soaps and hard procedurals, or standalone shows; they ask viewers to invest in the ongoing lives of their characters and relationships, but they also have some semblance of "standalone-ness." Grey's Anatomy, for instance, delves deep into the soapy lives of Meredith, McDreamy, Little Grey, Christina, etc., but each episode also has its own standalone medical "mystery," or dilemma, for the characters to solve. (Each episode also begins and ends with Meredith's voiceover, which helps it stand alone as well.)
Event dramas
Event dramas tend to be highly serialized shows, like soaps, where everything is building from or towards one specific event. (Although to be fair, that term was probably originally coined just as a marketing term; still, it's how these shows work.) Everything on V, for example, happened because of one particular event: an alien invasion (as well as Threshold and Invasion — if anyone remembers those shows).
So in answer to your question, Cody …
Is it feasible to blend a procedural with an event drama? …
Many shows, like The Mentalist and The Good Wife, do this already — have an A-story and a B-story that begin and end in each episode, then another, larger story that spans an entire season (or more).
(However, I wouldn't qualify these shows as event dramas, or even procedural/event drama hybrids, because their focus is still the weekly procedural story. They're basically procedurals with some ongoing, serialized elements.)
The question you face, Cody, is determining the balance of standalone storylines versus serialized storylines, and how they fit together on an episode-to-episode basis.
Law & Order basically told one close-ended, standalone A-story each week; there were almost no serialized plots or elements.
CSI also tells one close-ended, standalone story each week … but it incorporates some continuous relationships and larger mysteries (Grissom's romance with Sara, his loss of hearing, etc.). These rarely dominate an episode — they usually play as B-stories, C-stories, or runners.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer — the greatest show in television history (scientifically proven, so don't argue it) — always kicked off each season introducing a "Big Bad," a super-villain who trickled along in B or C-storylines until the last few episodes, which culminated in the final Buffy/villain battle. So while most of Buffy's episodes were standalone with serialized elements, each season had a few episodes that were completely serialized. (Dexter works the same way.)
Other shows are "fauxcedurals" (a term created by In Plain Sight creator David Maples). These often have one main story, or mission, that stretches over an entire season … but each week, the characters accomplish a smaller, standalone mission. In the fourth season of Prison Break, for instance, Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows had to break into Scylla (which, I think, was some kind of top-secret super-computer — I can't quite remember) … but each week, they went on a "mini-mission" to obtain a special tool or code to help with their larger goal. So each standalone episode was a step in a much larger story.
Lastly — while shows like 24 and Lost are highly and intentionally serialized, their episodes do usually have some element of standalone-ness: a close-ended mission, a clear character arc, etc. I had friends who worked on both of these shows, and they often talked about how their networks pressured even them to give their episodic stories some sense of beginning-middle-end.
Your mission, Cody, is to determine how your own show works … and to be able to articulate this, both in a verbal pitch and in the design of your pilot script.
Also, one final thought: aside from their architecture, many shows are also a mix of more "typical" genres. The X-Files and Fringe are basic procedurals, but they're supernatural procedurals. 21 Jumpstreet mixed teen soaps with procedurals. No Ordinary Family was a superhero/adventure show mixed with a family drama. So if you can find a succinct and accurate way to describe your show as a blend of genres this way, that's often helpful as well.
Thanks again for the question, Cody … and if you, or anyone else, has more questions, please Tweet me @chadgervich, email me at email@example.com, or post your thoughts or questions in the Comments section below!
And one more thing — I hope to see you all at this weekend's Screenwriting Expo here in Los Angeles! If you've never been to the Expo, it's one of the world's biggest screenwriting conferences, full of seminars, workshops, demonstrations, and parties … and it's a great opportunity to rub elbows with producers, execs, and writers of all levels.

Quesnel Lake is a glacial lake and the source of the Quesnel River. With a depth up to 610 metres, it is the deepest lake in British Columbia and is thought to be the deepest fjord lake in the world. It has almost 600 km (360 miles) of shoreline distributed among the three arms - West, East and North Arms. In the heart of the Cariboo Mountains, it has stunning scenery including sandy beaches and ancient cedar rainforests up the North Arm and fjord-like rock walls and our own Niagara Falls up the East Arm. It lies just to the west of three provincial parks - Bowron Lake, Cariboo Mountains and Wells Gray.
The principal interest in Quesnel Lake is its fishery. It is a popular sport fishing destination, and is also home to about a quarter of BC's sockeye. Anthropogenic disturbance nearly wiped out the sockeye population in the early 1900's, but it has now rebounded to historic levels. The lake is a long, narrow fjord-type lake - carved by glaciers, not man-made - and is stunningly beautiful.
Cast for trophy wild rainbow trout in one of the world's most pristine & unique settings. From diverse stillwaters to Sockeye salmon creeks and rivers, the exceptionally beautiful and unique Quesnel Lake ecosystem offers Rainbow trout angling that is unparalleled anywhere in British Columbia. Measured in pounds and not inches, many expert flyfishers say that this is hard to match anywhere on earth!
There are two access points to Quesnel Lake.
1) To the town of Likely on the west arm of Quesnel Lake: turn east off Hwy 97 at 150 Mile House onto the Horsefly Rd. Continue to the major intersection of paved roads, then turn left (northeast) onto the Likely Road. Total distance from 150 Mile is 85 km (53 mi). From here you can access the northern portion of the lake. Ask for information and directions in Likely.
2) To the village of Horsefly and on to the southern shores at the junction of the three arms of Quesnel Lake: turn east off Hwy 97 at 150 Mile House on to the Horsefly Road. Stay on this road until you reach the village of Horsefly -- 59 km (37 mi). Once in Horsefly, turn right at Clarke's Store and cross the Horsefly River, as if going to Horsefly Lake. Follow the signs to Elysia Resort, which is at the end of the road (signs along 42 kms of well-maintained gravel road). More directions and more information can be obtained in Horsefly.
The river flows west out of Quesnel Lake, commencing at Likely. Rainbow and Bull Trout from one pound to 14 pounds are taken on spinning gear from July through October. There is an angling closure covering 50 meters on either side of Likely Bridge.
The hatchery produces approximately 2.3 million Chinook salmon fry every year to stock the rivers and streams in the surrounding area. Adult salmon can be viewed from August 1 to the end of September; from November to April the fry can be observed in their different stages of development. From April to August 1 there are no fish in the hatchery at all. The hatchery is open seven days a week.
Rainbows, Bull Trout, Lake Char, and Kokanee are found in Quesnel Lake. These fish can grow to enormous sizes. You should ask locals where to fish on this huge lake, or, even better, hire a guide. Summer winds can be a danger for small boats. The Quesnel River flows from the lake at Likely, and there are several smaller rivers and creeks (including the world famous Horsefly River) that flow into Quesnel Lake. In the late summer and fall, millions of Sockeye and Chinook salmon come up the Quesnel River and swim through the lake to get to rivers such as the Mitchell and the Horsefly to spawn.
This large and very beautiful lake offers some of the most spectacular and secluded beaches found on any lake in B.C. Along with fishing, there is beachcombing, swimming, water skiing, sailing, boating, kayaking, hiking and mountain climbing.

How long till pp cycle regulates?
Hi ladies! I'm still breastfeeding my 9 1/2 mo DS and I got my first pp AF 33 days ago. This month I'm still waiting on it. I'm 4 days late. I usually have an extremely predictable 28-29 day cycle and this is driving me absolutely nuts! I'm guessing I just ovulated late in the cycle (I can usually detect it by cm but this month it looked like I o'd twice, so.....).
Here's the catch: I normally wouldn't let it get to me too much (I like things predictable but I'd deal with that), but we are supposed to be tta. We've been using the barrier method and I've been leaving it up to my husband to make sure that part is taken care of since I did hormonal bc for 2 1/2 years before getting pregnant. I figured it was his turn, lol. The problem is, he's been pulling out a lot lately and I know this is much less effective and so does he. I would be ok with another little one but a little overwhelmed since we've had a crazy year and have just moved and are in the process of buying a house. So any way, long story short, I'm waiting on AF (or a bfp) but don't really know when to expect. I don't really get into testing everyday, so right now I'm just testing every few days. But this is driving me nuts! Any one have experiences to share? I could really use some encouragement. :/

AWK Can Do Lookup, with ease
Some time ago, I blogged about AWK can do lookup. In fact, you can handle that with ease if your AWK supports FNR. FNR is the input record number in the current input file. If the first filename to AWK contains the lookup mapping, you can get AWK to store the lookup if FNR==NR. FNR==NR is always true for the first file processed by AWK. For subsequent files, FNR will be reset to 1 and therefore FNR==NR condition will no longer be true.
FYI, Solaris
Below simple example demonstrates the power of FNR
file1.txt contains the lookup mapping and lookup will be applied to file2.txt and file3.txt
cat file1.txt1 First 2 Second 3 Third 4 Fourth 5 Fifth $ cat file2.txtswimming 1 table-tennis 3 cycling 2 running 1 tennis 3 $ cat file3.txtperl 4 python 3 tcl 2 shell-script 2 $ awk 'FNR==NR{map[$1]=$2;next}{print $1,map[$2]}' file1.txt file2.txt file3.txtswimming First table-tennis Third cycling Second running First tennis Third perl Fourth python Third tcl Second shell-script Second
FYI, Solaris
/usr/bin/awk does not support FNR and you have to use

UBC Pharmaceutical Sciences Student Journal (UBC PSSJ) is the first peer-reviewed, open-access, and student-run pharmacy journal in Canada. We are committed to promoting and disseminating student, faculty and practitioners' work in all areas of pharmacy scholarship, including lab-based, clinical, pharmacy practice, and pedagogical research.
UBC PSSJ was created in order to take advantage of the many exciting research projects within the faculty and to provide a pharmacy-focused forum for students, practitioners, and researchers to publish. The journal will also provide support programs such as workshops to empower students with the skills they need to transform their research into publications.
The Pharmacy Read List for May 25
Our Current IssueWith Volume 3 Issue 1 of the PSSJ, we expand our horizons and focus on pharmacy around the globe. With the theme of "International Pharmacist," we examine pharmacy practice in different countries and compare them to our own domestic practice. We also examine the implications and benefits of pharmacist's truly global reach, and how it impacts our practice at home. We would like to thank our members, faculty and staff who have been a tremendous support for this issue!
Promotional Video!Bringing Research Back! To help stir excitement, and a few laughs, we have our very own promotional video. In it students find there is no option to publish their Pharmaceutical genius, until the PSSJ brings research back! Watch it to find out about our less serious side while getting to see our team sing, dance, and act!

John 15:18-20 18"If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20Remember the word that I said to you: 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you…
We at Eagle Rising want to make sure that all of our readers understand that we wholeheartedly support our men and women in the military. We also hold in high esteem all those veterans who have served in years past to protect our liberties. It saddens us to have to report, week after week, that the military of our beloved nation continues to persecute our brothers and sisters in Christ who serve in their ranks. It falls to us, however, to make sure that all of you are made aware of the dangers faced by our soldiers every day, not from enemies without, but from the military they serve in itself.
Fox News is now reporting that during a briefing at Camp Shelby in Mississippi, the US Army representative explained to those present that the American Family Association (AFA), a Christian, pro-traditional marriage organization, was a hate group, listed alongside hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan, Neo-Nazis, the Nation of Islam, and the Black Panthers. During the briefing, a slide titled "American Family Association" was shown with a picture of Fred Phelps, Pastor of the Westboro Church, holding a sign that said "No special law for F***." However, the AFA is in no way affiliated with the Westboro Church or their beliefs.
When a chaplain in attendance questioned the inclusion of the AFA on the list of hate groups, "The instructor said AFA could be considered a hate group because they don't like gays," the soldier told me. "The slide was talking about how AFA refers to gays as sinners and heathens and derogatory terms." The soldiers were also told that activity or affiliation with any "hate group" could result in punishment from the military.
All of this means that our soldiers could be punished for supporting a group that believes that marriage should only be between a man and a woman. Even more condemnable, it means that anyone who believes that marriage is between a man and a woman could be labeled a "hate group" by the government of the United States. This opens a terrifying new can of worms for any Christian who believes in the view of marriage espoused in the Bible.
Things are getting more and more precarious for Christian soldiers every day, and soon they'll get more precarious for your average Christian citizen too.
Update: The Army has apologized and admitted that the AFA is not a hate group. The AFA is not buying the story though…

Tanzania bishop breaks ranks in gay Anglican row
14 Feb 2007 09
By George Obulutsa
DAR ES SALAAM, Feb 14 (Reuters) - In the Anglican Communion's bitter row over gay priests and marriage, which threatens to split the church's 77 million faithful, Tanzanian Bishop Mdimi Mhogolo seems an unlikely rebel.
In December, the conservative Anglican Church of Tanzania declared it would no longer accept funding from dioceses in the U.S. Episcopal Church that condone homosexual practices or bless same-sex unions.
However, Mhogolo says it is with a clear conscience that his diocese of Central Tanganyika continues to accept money from its liberal counterpart in New York.
With individual donations of $50 a year, hundreds of Americans provide shoes, clothes, food and exercise books so that AIDS orphans in the impoverished Tanzanian diocese may attend primary school. the rest

Like most keepers finding a really good tasting gluten free pancake mix doesn't come easy. You could easily spend upwards of $50 on gf pancake mixes before you find a winner.
Lucky for you today I'm going to share with you not only my favorite, but honest to goodness the best gluten free pancake mix, short of mixing your own flours, but seriously who has time for that? I don't!
- 1 cup Pamela's gluten free pancake mix
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tbs oil - I used melted butter
- Mix all ingredients
- Pour 1/4 cup of the batter on to medium hot griddle
- Flip once you see bubbles begin to form, about 2.5-3 minutes
Syrup Anyone?
I guess you'd imagine the syrup being elegantly poured over the blueberries and pancakes is something I got at a farmers market or maybe its the butter flavored syrup thats always on sale at the grocery store. Nope, it's what Michelle calls Coconut Caramel Sauce and it's outstanding poured over pancakes, waffles, muffins, and cakes.
Coconut Carmel Sauce
To make this contagious concoction simply bring butter (or coconut oil) and honey to a boil. Boil on medium high until it reaches a nice caramel color. Remove from the heat. Pour in the coconut milk. Whisk until smooth. Naturally the syrup will be a little runny but you can give it a bit more viscosity by simmering it on med heat until it reduces a little and gets thicker.
*1/2 butter (or cup coconut oil if preferred)
*1/2 cup honey
*1 cup coconut milk

I know you want to!

The original Torchlight was kind of like the first Diablo, but better. You had pets that sold your "vendor trash" for you, character classes that were more balanced, and dungeons that didn't kill you as soon as you stepped into them. Many fans came to love Torchlight as "Diablo I done right." Torchlight II is pretty much the same thing, but while Torchlight I remade and expanded upon the formula of Diablo I, Torchlight II remakes and expands upon Diablo II, right down to the storyline. The main characters of Torchlight I have unfortunately gone insane and have turned evil, and it's up to you to stop them.
Much like what Diablo II was to Diablo I, Torchlight II takes you out of a single static dungeon and tasks you with roaming the countryside on your quest. You will be sent to several locales, but in the fifteen-minute demo that we were allowed to play we mostly visited outdoor fields, mountains, and neighboring towns. Yes, there is more than one town in Torchlight II, which makes the world feel much bigger than it was before.
When you start up Torchlight II, you will be given a choice of four different character classes. The first three are basic variations on your standard RPG classes. There is the Berserker, a close-range physical character; the Outlander a long-ranged character; and the Embermage, the magic user of the bunch. Even though these characters have their own unique flavor (for example, the Outlander is a gunner rather than an archer) they essentially play like the basic archetypes that we have come to expect. The Berserker character gets abilities and skills that makes him do lots of damage while being hard to kill, the Outlander gets abilities that allow him to kite enemies from a safe distance, and the Embermage is incredibly fragile but rains down horrible death upon all the enemies in the vicinity.
The newest character class, however, is the Engineer, sort of a combination of summoner classes from other RPGs. The Engineer focuses on building machines to do its bidding. I didn't play the class directly, but I was told that things like turrets and robot minions will be part of the Engineer's artillery. Setting traps will also be one of the Engineer's most relied upon skills.
Each character also has a variety of customization options as well. Characters have several different outfits, colors, and faces to choose from as soon as you generate them. You can also choose from an expanded list of pets as well. Though we tried various different pets during our hands-on time with the game, we could not detect any noticeable difference between the cats, panthers, dogs, tiny dragons, and more. For now, it just appears that pet choice is a cosmetic decision.
Just like Torchlight I, Torchlight II is all about the constant gameplay. After the opening cinematic, you are thrown right into the game and given your first quest. There isn't even much of a tutorial to speak of. The game expects you to know how to play PC RPGs, and everyone at PAX seemed to get along just fine without the game holding any hands.
OK, it did actually hold our hands a little, considering how easy it was. When we started up a game, we chose to play on the second hardest difficulty, and enemies gave us no trouble at all. I'm not even that good at these dungeon crawler-type games, and I breezed through random enemies and bosses with the greatest of ease. In a way, this makes the game more accessible to newbies, but it also causes the game to lose some of its "old school charm."
Now, even though Torchlight I had a cartoony feel to it, Torchlight II looks a bit more realistic. Yes, the characters are still fantasy stereotypes drawn in a Warcraft-like lighthearted style, but the increased graphical fidelity just made me feel sort of detached from the characters. This is really just a personal choice here, but I enjoyed the old graphics more.
Perhaps the greatest innovation in Torchlight II is the ability for your pets to go to down and buy potions and scrolls for you. This goes even further to break up the "beat up enemies, use town portal, buy stuff, come back, do it all over again" formula that Diablo made so infamous. Instead, the only times you'll need to visit towns will be to turn in quests or to pick up some other quests. Basically, you only need to go to town then the story says you need to. This goes a long way toward giving each town in the game its own identity as something more than a hub that you visit whenever you need to sell some loot.
Torchlight II is looking like another great dungeon crawler that should satisfy old school PC RPG fans, and I can confidently say that after having played only the first fifteen minutes. I am very excited to play more as soon as I can.

Simple Fixes To Have You Getting to sleep Comfortably And Snore-Totally free
Lots of people unconsciously snore loudly within their sleep at night. Snoring is actually a seem made by vibrating areas of the respiration program. This vibration is caused by an blockage of the air passage while sleeping. People who hear heavy snoring may be easily frustrated by it, and those who do snore can be in danger of sleep apnea. Loud snoring needs to be halted quickly which post provides easy methods to quit it.
When you are finding that heavy snoring has been an issue for your needs, take a look at the scales and discover if you are presently heavy. In case you are having excess fat, then you need to look at eliminating it to be able to alleviate pressure which is getting place on your airways.
Smoking cigarettes triggers your tonsils to swell, which causes you to snore during the night. 1 good way to stop loud snoring is always to stop smoking now. Consider using a smoking cessation school, over-the-counter the nicotine patch or possibly a prescription drugs through your physician. You will not only improve your health which will help prevent carcinoma of the lung, but you will rest greater at nighttime.
Prevent the consumption of alcohol before you go to bed so that you can avoid loud snoring. Because liquor can chill out the neck muscle groups, they could vibrate as oxygen goes by and lead to snoring loudly to take place. Let a few hours to successfully pass following your last alcoholic refreshment before going to get to sleep to lessen or remove snoring loudly.
The usage of nasal pieces are an excellent decision to relieve snoring loudly. Creatively, nasal pieces are like Band-Helps. However, their work is quite different. These strips will hold your nose passages opening, letting far more oxygen to enter. You'll have the capacity to inhale and exhale easily using your nostrils and prevent snoring loudly via your jaws.
When the room you sleep at night in is simply too dried out, it will be a good idea to purchase a air humidifier. If the oxygen is too free of moisture, over-crowding may appear with your neck and nasal area, and can even cause them to swell. The congestion and swelling ensure it is more challenging to breathe and causes you to definitely snore. A humidifier can remove this issue.
Adhere to a normal bedtime, and employ great sleeping practices generally speaking to reduce the incidence of snoring. If you go to your bed overtired, rest erratic hours, or have other poor sleeping routines, you could possibly sleep at night extremely seriously which relaxes the muscle tissues in the back of your throat more than usual. This may bring about snoring.

Xi, Putin to 'harvest the fruits' of deepening ties
The two men, who held talks in Beijing, have increasingly stressed their shared outlook which mirrors the countries' converging trade, investment and geopolitical interests.
The two sides signed a series of agreements to step up their multi-billion-dollar natural resources collaboration.
"Together we have carefully taken care of the tree of Russian-Chinese relations," Xi told Putin at the Diaoyutai state guesthouse in Beijing.
"Now fall (autumn) has set in, it's harvest time, it's time to gather fruit," he said.
"No matter the changes on the global arena, we should stick to the chosen path to expand and strengthen our comprehensive mutually fruitful cooperation."
Russia and China have been brought together by mutual geopolitical concerns, among them wariness of the United States.
The two countries often vote as a pair on the UN Security Council, where both hold a veto, sometimes in opposition to Western powers on issues such as Syria.
Putin said Russian-Chinese cooperation was "very important for keeping the world within the framework of international law, to make it more stable, more predictable".
"Me and you have done a lot for this and I am sure we will continue to work in this manner in the future," he added.
Moscow faces harsh Western criticism and sanctions over its seizure of Crimea and the conflict in eastern Ukraine, which could see Europe reduce its consumption of Russian gas.
China also has tense relationships over territorial disputes with neighbours such as Japan, Vietnam and the Philippines.
Under Xi, Communist China has mounted crackdowns on dissidents and tightened limits on expression, while critics accuse Putin's Russia of rights abuses.
China is constantly on the lookout for resources to power its economic growth.
After a decade of negotiations, the countries signed a huge 30-year gas deal for the China-Russia East Route pipeline, said to be worth $400 billion, during a visit to China by Putin in May.
On Sunday they stepped up the engagement, signing a memorandum of understanding to develop a second route to supply China with Russian natural gas, dubbed the "western" route.
The agreement could lead to a deal which would see China potentially becoming the biggest consumer of gas from Russia, overtaking Europe.
Alexei Miller, head of gas giant Gazprom, told Russian state television: "Gas deliveries along the western route will be flowing from fields in West Siberia, the resource base that we use now for delivering gas to Europe. This project will help us diversify gas supply from our traditional gas producing regions."
Russia's Rosneft and China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), both of them petroleum giants, also signed an agreement Sunday for the Chinese firm to take a 10 percent stake in a huge Siberian energy project.
CNPC also signed deals on gas supplies and transport routes. Banking agreements were also inked.
The two countries have carried out joint military exercises on land and sea and Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters Sunday that "significant attention was dedicated to mutual transactions in all areas, including sensitive areas such as military and technical cooperation".
China's tightly-controlled yuan currency, which Beijing is looking to internationalise, also came up, with Peskov saying it was a "possible reserve currency in the region".
Putin is visiting China for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, which starts on Monday and will also be attended by US President Barack Obama, Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and other leaders.
The APEC region includes 40 percent of the world's population, nearly half its trade and more than half its GDP. -AFP

I had breakfast this morning with Steven Lydenberg, my boss when I worked at KLD and now the Chief Investment Officer for Domini Social Investments.
It's hard to overstate Steve's importance to social investing. He was arguably the first person to make a full career of social research on corporations. Over the years he played leadership roles in social research at the Council on Economic Priorities, Trillium, KLD, and now Domini. If you pick a moment in Steve's career and look at what he was doing, you usually see that: 1) he was one of only a few people doing it; 2) it was something everyone in SRI was doing a few years later. When Steven started work on the Domini Social Index there were no broad-based equity benchmarks for social investors. Today there are at least a dozen.
Dylan Thomas once said of Thomas Hardy's poems that people should "read all of it, the whole damn lot," and I feel the same way about Steve's writing on social research. It's all good. Go onto Amazon and pick up a used copy of his Rating America's Corporate Conscience. Read his chapter in the 1992 Social Investment Almanac. Take a look at Investing for Good, which he co-authored with Amy Domini and Peter Kinder.
But first read his new book, Corporations and the Public Interest: Guiding the Invisible Hand.
"I think Hawley and Williams are really onto something with their Universal Owner concept," Steve says as we eat. "We have to think about the broader impacts of corporate behavior. Adam Smith said poor countries have very profitable companies. He meant there's not enough competition to drive innovation. He called them 'monopolies at the expense of their countrymen.'
"There's been a secular shift in our society to corporations since at least the 1980s. The pendulum has been swinging away from government, and now governments feel maybe it's swung too far. Tony Blair has a Minister of Social Responsibility. France requires social disclosures on corporate financial statements. Uruguay has passed a constitutional amendment that forbids privatization of water. Even the Wall Street Journal editorial page says 'markets need adult supervision.'
"And that creates a dilemma - how do you do that? How do you direct corporations to the public interest? We need new vocabulary to do that, new data. And I think SRI can bring great value to universal investors. We can bring fresh perspectives to risk, intangible assets, and wealth creation.
"Social investors have a lot to say about risk, especially long-term risk, because we're used to looking at things the mainstream is resistant to examining. Asbestos, tobacco, global warming: social investors were talking about these things long before the mainstream took notice. We need to take that forward, look at risks, and try to quantify the true costs to society of these activities.
"Investment in all stakeholders creates an intangible asset, but the mainstream doesn't know how to value it. Look at the study Epstein and Schnietz did of the market impact of the WTO protests. There's value to a good corporate reputation, even if the market doesn't always reflect it.
"And social initiatives can create value. Jed Emerson's blended value concept is a really useful way to think about it.
"I think those are the things that will bring social investment more into the mainstream. The pieces are on the table, but they still have to be sorted out and assembled. That's the work we have ahead of us."

Hay fever: Paying the price for an allergy
For millions of people the sunshine and long days mean one thing - weeks of sneezing, coughing and itching while battling their way through hay fever season.
But not only is it an uncomfortable time, the bill to tackle the allergy can mount up too.
Jamie Tulloch, an accountant and hay fever sufferer who lives in London, says he uses tablets and eye drops every day when he gets the symptoms.
"If I don't, I sneeze and my eyes swell up," he says. "It also means I can spend up to £10 a week on medication sometimes."
So does that bill have to be so high for sufferers like Mr Tulloch?
He generally chooses branded hay fever medicines. His preferred pick this year has been Clarityn which costs £3.49 in Boots for a pack of seven tablets.
Clarityn contains Loratadine, an antihistamine which helps to ease inflammation in the nose and throat.
However, Loratadine is no longer under patent and several generic tablets, that contain the same dose, can also be found on the shelves of most chemists and supermarkets. For example, the Boots own-brand One-a-Day: Allergy Relief Pills also contains 10mg of Loratadine but costs less at £2.99.
"The active ingredient is the important thing," says Jayne Lawrence, chief scientist for the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.
"If the patient has the same active ingredient at the same dose, in the same type of formulation - for example a tablet - then the patient will not experience any difference between the branded and the generic formulations on a biological level."
Brands and packaging
A fifth of the British population suffer from hay fever, that is nearly 15 million people. So there is a huge customer base for drug companies and retailers to chase.
The large number of people who are affected for a relatively short period of time during the year means that the price differences between products that are essentially the same become more obvious. The same situation may occur with other drugs for other ailments.
Mr Tulloch says that the marketing material and packaging make him think he is taking a superior pill.
"I have always assumed that the branded products are better than the unbranded alternatives, maybe they work faster, or are more effective at stopping my sneezing and coughing when I am suffering from hay fever.
"I just want to make sure I do whatever I can to help myself and therefore spending an extra pound or two seems a price worth paying."
The placebo effect
In fact, with many hay fever medicines, the extra money does not buy a different product. The Boots-own "One-a-Day: Allergy Relief Pills" and the "Value Health: One-a-day allergy relief", which both contain 10mg of Loratadine, also have the same product licence number (PL:16028/0080).
That means they are actually identical. However, one costs £2.99 and the other costs 99p. When Boots was asked about these price differences, a spokesman said that the Value Health range had been discontinued and was only available in a selected number of stores. The more expensive Boots-own product will continue to be made.
Jayne Lawrence says other factors are involved when people buy the product.
"It is down to the placebo effect," she says. "People may have this belief that a branded version must be superior to the generic unbranded alternative. And once they believe this they can report different responses to the drugs. But in reality, if they both have the same active ingredient then both pills are acting in exactly the same way."
A spokesman for Boots said: "We are committed to offering great value and advice to our customers. We would always recommend that a customer speaks to the pharmacy team for advice on treating their hay fever symptoms so the right medicine can be recommended for their individual needs."
Costs and prescriptions
Sufferers may also be able to go to the GP for a prescription to manage their hay fever, and for those who do not pay for their prescriptions this could be the most cost-effective option.
However, for those who do pay for their prescriptions, then it probably is not the cheapest option. Today, a prescription for 30 hay fever tablets will cost £8.05 compared with £4 for 30 of the generic pills.
Strict regulations in the UK mean that all medicines must meet very high standards.
"If a packet says the medicine has 10mg of a drug in it then it will have 10mg of that drug in it," says Dr Helen Stokes-Lampard, a GP and treasurer of the Royal College of General Practitioners.
"People can be reassured that it is just as safe to take an unbranded products as it is to take a branded one.
"Find the antihistamine active ingredient that works for you - whether it's Loratadine or Cetirizine, or something else - and once you have found it, stick with it," she says.
"Just make sure you scan the shelves in your supermarket or chemist and find the cheapest one with that ingredient."

QuoteWhat if gasoline, diesel and jet fuel could be made without oil and made instead with sugar? An Emeryville-based company founded by U.C. Berkeley scientists is on its way to doing just that, with staggering environmental and economic implications.
This sugary solution could be what breaks America's addiction to oil. Science has long understood how ethanol is made by adding sugar to yeast. But now using the same basic biological processes, scientists can re-program the microbes to make something closer to gasoline. It's cutting-edge technology commonly known as "synthetic biology" and it will change the way we fuel any vehicle that now relies on oil -- at least that's the hope at Emeryville-based Amyris Biotechnologies. Jack Newman, PhD, Amyris Biotechnologies VP: "Why are we making ethanol if we're trying to make a fuel? We should be making something that looks a lot more like gasoline. We should be making something that looks a lot more like diesel. And if you wanted to design, you name it, a jet fuel? We can make that too."

Letting yourself experience strong emotions, and also realizing when you may need to avoid experiencing them at times in order to continue functioning.
Stepping forward and taking action to deal with your problems and meet the demands of daily living, and also stepping back to rest and reenergize yourself.

The AFP distributed a news relese about their "non-partisan" triumph yesterday. The news release doesn't mention the subsidized gasoline the AFP purchased for all comers in what appeared to be in-kind campaign donations to Republican candidates who made appearances at the gas giveaways.
They'll be calling a lot of shots in the Republican legislature. But not as many as they had planned. And it might be time to reconsider the influence of AFP and boss Teresa Oelke.
UPDATE: Michael Cook, a Democratic political analyst and writer for Talk Business, makes the case that the Koch crowing is a coverup for their pitiful showing in the Arkansas election.
By Cook's analysis, the Koch/AFP effort lost 20 (TWENTY!) Arkansas races it targeted with expenditures such as mass mailing, bus tour stops and the like. I think he's onto something important here. All that spending. All that effort. All that talk. And they wind up with a ONE-SEAT edge in the House? Cook, who notes that the partisan divide remains narrower here than in any Southern state, names names that AFP tried but failed to elect.
The AFP release follows:
Little Rock, Arkansas — Over the past two years, AFP Arkansas has focused the importance of policy and how policy impacts families' budgets, the cost of everyday life, job creation, and opportunities here in Arkansas.
"I know today lots of people will talk about party, but we believe the people of Arkansas spoke out for economic freedom," stated Teresa Oelke, Arkansas State Director.
Oelke continued, "Arkansans don't want to exchange one party's special interest for another party's special interest. We want a fair playing field where everyone plays by the same set of rules. A government that doesn't demand more taxes; but does better with the taxes that we send them now. These are the principles that will help the real economy thrive and create more opportunities for all Arkansans."
Over the last two years, the Arkansas Chapter's efforts to advance the cause of economic freedom:
