Genesis 1:1
by Pastor Glem Melo
- Creation foreshadows the new creation.
- Christ is the new creation.
- All true Christian believers are new creations in Him.
- The successful accomplishment of God's work of creation guarantees the successful accomplishment and consummation of His work of new creation in Christ.
1. God our Creator and New Creator is infinite in bigness, greatness, and power.
a. God is Elohim in Hebrew. It is plural.
The plural Elohim reveals our Creator and New Creator's infinite immensity and power.
b. Jesus is Elohim. (John 1:1)
Christ, the New Creation and our New Creator, is infinite in bigness, greatness, and power.
c. Creation was "very good," perfect, and complete because, and only because, of the infinite bigness, greatness, and power of our Creator and New Creator.
d. The infinite bigness, greatness, and power of our Creator and New Creator guarantees the perfect accomplishment and consummation of the new creation in Christ.
- In our Triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—we have everything that we need.
- Live, pray, and serve the Lord with unwavering faith and confidence. Because of our Creator and New Creator's infinite immensity and power, Christ's work of new creation in you, in your family, in the church, and in the world is guaranteed to be successfully accomplished and consummated.
2. Both creation and new creation are out of nothingness.
a. "Beginning" = the start of all things, including time and space
b. "In the beginning" = creation was out of nothing
c. Both creation and new creation are monergistic, i.e. the work of God alone.
d. In the same way that creation was out of nothing, God's work of new creation is also out of nothing.
e. God the Son became nothing in His incarnation, life, crucifixion, death, and burial for us.
f. In God the Son who became nothing for our salvation and re-creation, the new creation has begun.
g. God saved and re-created us out of nothing, i.e. monergistically, by grace alone, without our help and works.
g. The consummation of God's work of new creation in Christ on His second coming, will also be out of nothing, i.e. monergistic, by grace alone, without our help or works.
- Confess your nothingness before the Lord.
- Thank, praise, and worship Christ for becoming nothing in His incarnation, life, death, and burial in order to become both the New Creation and our New Creator through His resurrection, intercession, and kingdom rule.
- Live, pray, and serve the Lord with unwavering faith and confidence. Despite of our nothingness and that of our families, church, and society, because of Christ's life, death, and resurrection, God's work of salvation and new creation shall surely be accomplished and consummated.

yellow-legged frogs have disappeared from thousands of sites despite the
fact that the habitat at these sites is essentially unaltered from its

threat to amphibians worldwide, it is likely to have played a minor role
in the decline of the mountain yellow-legged frog. Scientists interested
in understanding the causes underlying the decline of the mountain yellow-legged

Not surprisingly, not a whole lot happened on Saturday, particularly in baseball.
Yes, there were a few open windows for other spring sports, but the weather that made conditions horrible last week became worse and will make it, ahem, challenging again this week.
In baseball, a total of eight results were reported, none bigger than in Class 5A, where Chatfield's Chargers turned in the first eye-opener of the districts. The Chargers, seeded 28th in the field of 32, first beat host and No. 5 Fruita Monument 3-2, then held off 21st-seeded Smoky Hill, which turned in its own surprise, beating defending state champion Rocky Mountain 6-3. In the final, the Chargers beat the Buffaloes 12-1 in six innings.

Earlier today, we ran an interview between Andrey Osadchenko and Igor Larionov on this site. Larionov is the agent for two of 2012's top draft prospects – Nail Yakupov and Alex Galchenyuk – and among other things he made the interesting suggestion that the Leafs might attempt to land both players (who are also teammates in Sarnia).
Is it possible?
Asked what the Oilers had told him about drafting Yakupov with the first overall pick, Larionov offered (in part) the following:
Tambellini told me: 'We like him. We want him. But we're going to make a decision the day before the draft'. I also know the Habs want to get one of my guys – either Nail or Alex [Galchenyuk]. So do the Leafs. It is possible that the Leafs are going to trade their draft pick and get both of them. There is a possibility like that. Nail and Alex went to New Jersey for Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals. After this they met Leafs GM Brian Burke. Then Nail met with the Habs.
(emphasis added)
It's the same scenario that Robin Brownlee spit-balled a few days ago, except that instead of the Oilers making a move to land both players, it would be the Leafs.
Shades of 1999
While normally this sort of talk has a fantastic quality to it, every once in a while a general manager pulls this kind of deal off. Brian Burke did it at the 1999 NHL Entry Draft, where the Canucks emerged as the big winners of the first round, drafting twin brothers Henrik and Daniel Sedin.
How did they do it? The Canucks already owned the third overall selection, and they needed to land another pick inside the top three. They managed to get the fourth overall pick from Chicago in exchange for defenseman Bryan McCabe and the Blackhawks choice of Vancouver's first round pick in either 2000 or 2001 (Chicago opted for the 11th overall pick in 2000). Then they dealt that fourth overall pick to Tampa Bay along with a pair of third round picks in exchange for the first overall selection.
With Atlanta eying Patrik Stefan – while now considered a bust, at the time Stefan boasted size and physical maturity; he was a point-per-game player in the IHL (roughly equivalent to the AHL today) in his draft year – the Canucks traded down from first to second overall, collecting a third round pick the following year in the process.
Chicago got a good defenseman and a first round pick. Atlanta got Patrik Stefan. Vancouver walked away with two-thirds of an elite first line.
What Would It Take?
The Leafs are in an interesting position because they have strength in areas where the Oilers are weak. It seems unlikely that top defenseman Dion Phaneuf would be on the table, but the Leafs have a quartet of other (relatively) young defenders that might intrigue the Oilers:
- 21-year old Jake Gardiner
- 22-year old Luke Schenn
- 24-year old Cody Franson
- 25-year old Carl Gunnarsson
Looking back to what the Leafs did in 1999, would the Oilers consider one of Schenn or Gardiner, Franson, and their choice of the Leaf's first round pick in either 2013 or 2014 in exchange for the first overall selection this year? Schenn was a fifth overall pick a few years ago, plus he has a WHL heritage and the Oilers do love both of those things.
The Leafs pick next year could be a high one as well. Since 2008, the Leafs have by virtue of their regular season finish had the opportunity to draft seventh (they moved up to 5th overall and took Schenn), seventh (Nazem Kadri), second (Boston got the pick in the Phil Kessel deal and drafted Tyler Seguin), ninth (another pick lost in the Kessel deal; Boston drafted Dougie Hamilton) and then fifth overall next year. Based on recent history, next year's first round pick will be a considerable asset.
There's also the possibility that the Leafs could trade up to eighth overall and use that pick to barter with Edmonton. There has been speculation recently that the Carolina Hurricanes are willing to deal that pick for immediate help up front (h/t Lowetide). The Leafs have some options that might be appealing to Carolina, and could add a highly regarded prospect like Joe Colborne or Nazem Kadri in a package with an established forward.
If the Leafs managed to land the eighth overall pick, Edmonton might be intrigued by the possibility of trading down and landing a player like Griffin Reinhart.
Will it happen?
I very much doubt it. Burke often talks about moving up on draft day (as opposed to the Oilers, who let it be known that they would be interested in moving up, don't move up, and then trade for the player five years later after whoever drafted him is willing to move on) but the reality is that deals like that are hard to pull off. People are loss-averse by nature and the prospect of moving a top pick can be nerve-wracking.
Still, sometimes strange things happen. I'd be surprised if Burke didn't at least sound out Tambellini about that first overall pick.

On Thursday 1 July and Friday 2 July 2004 the Department of Chemical Engineering held Open Days for sixth formers and pre-sixth form. This was an opportunity find out what Chemical Engineering is, to discover what Chemical Engineers do, to see the teaching and research facilities, to meet some of the staff and to get details on the course at Cambridge University.
The days were very well attended, with over a hundred potential students visiting the department, accompanied by parents, friends, siblings and teachers. There were tours of the department on the hour every hour, led by current postgraduate students. The group in the photograph was led by Dan Cooney. He was also an undergraduate here so could give a description of the course and what it's like to be a student here, based on very recent experience. The group was shown the lecture rooms, the library, the tea room (which is very important for the social life of the department) and various research laboratories. When they reached the Teaching Laboratory, they had the opportunity to try their hands at some of the experiments they might have to do as undergraduates. This was supervised by Technician John Watson.
The Open Day was organised by Teaching Fellow, Mike Goodson

Want to accumulate Long Term Gains???... Then read on..
Niranjan Kumar Boora wrote :
I am considering to accumulate long term gains, I have started SIP in mutual funds. My question is did I selected the proper portfolio.
I happened to read your blog today.
I started investing in mutual fund through SIP route Rs2000pm for 1 year starting Nov 2008 in the following funds.
Can you please analyze my portfolio.
1. HSBC Equity Fund - Growth (You suggested to few people to buy Fidelity Equity, what to do?)
2. IDFC Premier Equity Fund - Growth
3. DWS Tax Saving Fund - Growth
Apart from these, I have investments in the following funds (planning to switch from these to some HSBC Equity or some other fund you suggest, should I do?)
4. Sundaram CAPEX Fund - Growth (20K)
5. SBI Multicap Fund - Growth (10K)
6 UTI Mahila Unit Scheme - Growth (20K)
7. SBI Infrastructure Fund (20K)
SRIKANTH SHANKAR MATRUBAI advised :
Dear Niranjan,
Your existing SIP are going into very Good Funds and I do not see the need for change in funds. Yes, I have been recommending Fidelity Equity, but HSBC Equity too has been performing well and should continue to do so. So, in conclusion, your existing sips need not be tinkered with.
However, your lumpsum investments do need a overhaul.
Sundaram CAPEX Fund - Growth (20K) - Switch to the more promising and better performing Sundaram Select Focus Fund
SBI Multicap Fund - Growth (10K) - Better redeem and invest in a Good Large Cap Fund like the HDFC Top 200 Fund
UTI Mahila Unit Scheme - Growth (20K) - continue
SBI Infrastructure Fund (20K) - Switch to SBI Bluechip fund.
If possible reduce the existing sip from 2000 to 1000 in each of the existing sips or increase the sip investments by another 3000 and invest in the following funds to give your fund a Balanced Look.
DSPBR Top 100 Fund
Fidelity Equity Fund
HDFC Prudence Fund

20 months ago, I told two of my sisters that I wanted to host a family reunion. Six siblings are spread out over several states, and we hadn't all been together since our mother's funeral in January 2013. Since I live in Albuquerque, I suggested we plan it to coincide with the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, which is the first full week of October.
I created a closed Facebook page, and invited my siblings, nieces, and nephews to join. I emailed those who don't use Facebook to invite them as well.
Replies trickled in, and all five of my siblings, a niece and their respective spouses/significant other agreed to rendezvous in October 2015 for the event. Nieces and nephews with children did not attend; guess they couldn't take them out of school. (Whatever happened to kids going on "educational" vacations and then going back to school to write a report? The Balloon Fiesta is educational as well as entertaining!) For the 13 in attendance, our gathering was a huge success.
My family came by Planes, Trains and Automobiles (a nod here to the classic Steve Martin/John Candy film). I hosted five sleeping overnight at our house. The others were at two hotels that were only a brief five-minute drive from our house.
Reminiscing about our childhood and our mother in particular (people brought photos and other memorabilia, including a great memory book my Mom had completed years ago), eating great New Mexican food, enjoying the novelty of the mass ascension of balloons at dawn, trying wines from vineyards of New Mexico, made all of the days together memorable and fun. We used Skype to talk to one of my nieces and her family, fit in some trips to the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center and to view fine art on Canyon Road in Santa Fe. We took the usual group photos to commemorate the occasion, and agreed we shouldn't wait so long to all get together again!
Here are a couple of things I learned that you might find helpful to consider as you plan your reunion.
20 months was too soon to start inviting people. We didn't get the dates set until about 10 months prior to the event. Knowing it was coming up did help those traveling, who had other relatives along the way, coordinate visits with them as well, so advance notice is still important.
I would have taken more annual leave from work prior to the reunion. I had a long three-day weekend after my last two sisters left, but I needed more time for grocery shopping and meal preparation prior to the reunion. It turned out okay, just would have freed me up for more time visiting if I had the food better put together prior to the first arrivals.
I was glad I had acted on my idea and took the chance that everyone's schedules could be worked out to attend. Don't hesitate to suggest it to your family for your own reunion!

Fahd ibn Abdul Aziz 2005 Deaths
Fahd ibn Abdul AzizAge: 84
pro-Western king of Saudi Arabia whose reign was marked by the modernization of the staunchly conservative Islamic country. He courted the U.S., broadened women's rights, and expanded the economy. These acts, however, were accompanied by his support for Wahhabism, the country's influential religious establishment that has supported anti-Americanism and Islamic militancy. After a series of strokes in 1995, King Fahd passed authority to Crown Prince Abdullah, who assumed the throne upon Fahd's death.Died: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Aug. 1, 2005

It's hard to imagine a franchise more destined for success than Disney's Tsum Tsums.
Seriously, the mixture of ideas that shape the Tsum Tsum universe is a combination so addicting it's almost diabolical. Take a uniform design similar to Funko Pops, mix them with adorable plush toys, tie them together with a mobile app that combines elements of puzzle games like Bejeweled and collection games like Pokemon, and wrap it all up with universally loved Disney characters like Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh.
There you have it: Tsum Tsums in a nutshell, which means it's no surprise that people all over the world have become completely obsessed with Disney's mobile game and toyline combo. Even the Star Wars and Marvel universes are getting in on the Tsum Tsum action, proving that Disney utilizes every intellectual property it can to appeal to as many fans as possible.
You may be asking yourself where in the world Tsum Tsums came from, or perhaps you'd like to know more about how they draw from the different franchises listed above. Fret not, dear readers, for those curiosities are answered below.
Tsum Tsum – translated as "stack stack" in Japanese – began as a mobile game that took Japan by storm in 2013. The objective of the title is simple: Tsum Tsum versions of Disney characters will appear on the screen stacked on top of each other, and the player drags their finger across lines of three or more identical characters to rack up the highest score possible under a strict time limit.
It's not unlike popular mobile puzzle games such as Bejeweled and Candy Crush Saga, but the shift in focus from methodical gameplay to twitch reflexes widens the game's audience to those who may not normally like puzzle solving. What's more, the Tsum Tsum game allows players to collect and level up individual Tsum Tsums that bestow useful powers during matches, clearly cut from the collection cloth that Pokemon popularized in the 90s. These may be common game mechanics in many mobile titles, but the Tsum Tsum game was both a unique collection of ideas and a cut above similar titles due to its simplistic gameplay and lovable Disney characters.
To the surprise of absolutely no one, Tsum Tsum dominated the charts in Japan for both iOS and Android downloads. Tying in with the game's success were the Tsum Tsum plush toys, featuring similar designs to their in-game counterparts. With round shapes and teeny-tiny legs, Tsum Tsum toys are as stackable as their name implies, which naturally drives collectors to want more of them.
Even promotional Tsum Tsum images will often depict the toys in an enticing pyramid shape. Whether a Tsum Tsum is based on Donald Duck or Dumbo the Elephant, each toy utilizes the same general template, complete with beady eyes not unlike the also widely successful Funko Pop figures. Tsum Tsums are produced in both small, medium, and large sizes, meaning toys can either be big enough to be huggable or small enough to fit in a pocket.
Having sold 1.6 million Tsum Tsum plush toys in Japan over 9 months, Disney brought both the app and the toys to the United States in 2014. Jimmy Pitaro, president of Disney Interactive, describes Tsum Tsum as "one of the first times that Disney has introduced a distinctly Japanese product to a global audience," which is immediately evident in the name "Tsum Tsum" being retained for its international release. Tsum Tsums have also been released in South Korea, and the roster of Tsum-ified characters grows every month.
With Disney throwing everything it has into growing the Tsum Tsum brand by pushing animated shorts and other promotions, collectors would do well to keep an eye on these stackable plush toys that are still going strong after almost three years. Just make sure to contain yourself if you feel your obsession growing, even if the temptation for more of those lovable faces is just so irresistible.
Gemr is a social platform for collectors and enthusiasts. Users can buy, sell, organize, or just show off whatever it is they're passionate about. From Funko Pops to fine art, or antiques to anime, we have unique communities waiting for you to share your stuff. Sign up now for free, and download our iOS and Android mobile apps!

Focus: Connections, design, serendipity, and a long, long tail
The best: Dan Gillmor's blog. This site appears to be Gillmor's personal space, not associated with the Center for Citizen Media. It answered a big question for me this morning, and sent me on some serendipitous rabbit trails.
The tale starts with a "404 Not Found" message at the Center for Citizen Media. I searched Google for Gillmor to see whether he had suddenly disappeared from the Internet, found his blog, and got my answer that the Center's site was down. That in itself is a good lesson for bloggers who are hosted somewhere else: Have a findable backup place where you can tell your readers what's going on. They'll love you for it.
Gillmor's personal site's serendipity then sent me to some interesting places, past and present:
Doc Searls weblog: This early web visionary is alive and well and sharing through a Harvard blog. He's a fellow with the Berkman Center and has focused on business and the web for years.
His site led me to the Cluetrain Manifesto, a place I had not been in years. This manifesto, circa 1999, speaks louder than ever at a time when many people are ringing their hands about the state of business and the Internet, especially the media business.
Then on to Harvard blogs, a place where many smart people are writing.
Then on to Reflections from Beijing, a place that has not forgotten about Burma. The region's woes might have fallen off the radar of big media quickly, but the issue of communication access there and in China remains a high priority for some big brains, young and old.
The best worst (warning: turn down your sound before you click): The World's Worst Website.
It speaks for itself.

Our Bodies, Our Choices, Our Changes, Our Challenges:
Reproductive Rights in 2012
". . . women understand that real lives are too complex, too filled with choices and changes and challenges, to be reduced to snap judgments and blanket statements . . ." — Joanna Weiss
This May 13th through the 19th marks the Department of Health and Human Services' thirteenth annual National Women's Health Week – the theme this year being, "It's Your Time." Celebrated across America both on an individual basis (such as on May 14th, when women can pledge to participate in National Women's Checkup Day and make an appointment to visit their health care professional for a well-woman screening) and at public, community institutions such as schools, religious centers, and hospitals (after all, as Melville reminds us, "We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men.").
Front and center this year is the impact of the Obama administration's Affordable Care Act. In the First Lady's interview in honor of National Women's Health Week with Women's Health Magazine, she emphasized how the reduction in routine check-up costs and the end to discriminatory insurance practices such as higher flat charges on women due to their more extensive preventative screening needs (mammograms, PAP smears, etc.) would hopefully inspire us women to "take control of our lives and our health." Likewise, the White House blog reminds visitors that 20.4 million women with private health insurance will have access those preventative health services at no additional cost as a result of the Affordable Care Act – including the young women covered on their parents' insurance until age 26.
Now, no one is going to take issue with a week that celebrates the well-being of half the population – especially in a political climate bound and determined to villainize women who dare protect their right to affordable and accessible health services. And reminding women to take time to care for themselves is admirable. But some of the avenues by which this goal is being accomplished?
This October's Breast Cancer Month brought us the "Your Man Reminder" app from the Canadian organization "Rethink Breast Cancer." Thought process behind this one? Well, since apparently "studies have shown that women are more likely to watch a video if it features a hot guy," half-naked men fondling themselves to demonstrate the "TLC" method should hone women's attention on their breast health like a high-powered laser – wunderbar!
And then women have our dear friend 'Julia.' We're not quite sure when our Julia lost her virginity (that time we took her out for margaritas to get her to spill the deets just didn't work and we're now banned from the East Side T.G.I. Friday's), but at twenty-seven, after four years "working full-time as a web designer," Julia has health insurance that covers her birth control and preventative care "thanks to Obamacare." And at 31, when Julia decides to have a child (even though we suspect that her boyfriend Craig has been bull-shitting her for the past four years and that there's no such thing as a T.G.I. Friday's 'career track'),"she benefits from maternal checkups, prenatal care, and free screenings under health care reform."
Yes, these memes are addressing women's health needs and reproductive rights, and we've already addressed why that's such a good and necessary thing. Why then, do these types of campaigns make me feel like I'm five years old again, I've fallen off my bike, and Mommy and Daddy are bandaging my boo-boo?
In her piece for the Boston Globe, Joanna Weiss beautifully encapsulates why women should feel uncomfortable with such simplistic representations of their bodily needs:
Women are perfectly capable of projecting policy implications onto their own lives . . . Most women understand that real lives are too complex, too filled with choices and changes and challenges, to be reduced to snap judgments and blanket statements about where we ought to stand. We vote our own priorities, and our own pocketbooks. In that way, we're just like men.
Leah Berkenwald's coverage of the "Your Man Reminder," although it mostly considers the critique of reverse objectification, likewise questions the app's broad brush approach:
Maybe we should ask for an expansion of the app for lesbians that includes some hot, actively participating women teaching TLC. An app like this could also easily be altered to help remind gay and straight men, who are also at risk for breast cancer, about the importance of doing self-breast exams too.
The idea that women need a shiny, pink, sexy what-not for them to realize that they matter and that their bodies deserve care is offensive. Period. The idea that HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius can put out a statement for the week "celebrating the women in our lives" and think that these women will just forget that she played politics with their lives when she overruled the FDA ruling that determined minors should be able to buy Plan B without a prescription is offensive.
Women remember. Women know that a vagina and a complex, complicated life are not mutually exclusive. And women have the right to be angry and a little scared in a culture where political and apolitical actors alike don't seem to understand these basic truths.

Do consider that I am a middle-aged man with an artificial hip and can barely touch my toes. I can also kick at my own head-level with little effort. The reason is not flexibility in the hips, but the fact that I like to do standing abdominal crunches. This, plus the flexibility in my lower back allows me to get into position with truly mediocre hip flexibility. The point is that there are far too many joints and other anatomical structures involved in something like a high kick to be reduced to simple flexibility. On top of this, excessive flexibility can lead to a higher incidence of injury. I see karateka all the time trying to hold their legs up in static positions and a bevy of other completely useless drills. Oriental stretching methods are just not that good. Like yoga, it is that you do it for years rather than a clear-cut understanding of various anatomical issues. Of course, the fact that yoga is a lot of fun for some means they are much more apt to do that than something else.
Below I have a pretty good general body stretching routine. You get pretty much everything. These are compound stretches, meaning that you are doing several things at once — just like everything else in taiso. A good stretch should take you, by the clock, 3 – 4 minutes. This is not too much to invest. The stretches themselves naturally fall into subsets of 3 stretches. When you are stretching, hold each position for about 10 seconds then go onto the next position. The subsets are chosen for each of getting into related positions rather than anatomical function. The best time to do stretching like this is right after a good workout, when your muscles are at their warmest. The positions are aimed at the average person. Feel free to vary them and play with them. The point is to stretch rather than maintain form. Everybody is different.

AT Art Projects
March 21, 2017
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
For the past month, AT 2D Art students have been hard at work on their project, The Figure in Art, where they studied the human figure, looking specifically at joints. After selecting one part of the human body to focus on, the students drew inspiration from photos or sculptures to design their own 2D pieces. In addition to the original piece, the students also designed a second piece, which was a more conceptual interpretation of their original focus.
"I have been studying the human figure for a long time," said AT 2D art teacher Janna Johnsen. "The first piece is more traditional, and the second piece is more conceptual and expressive." In this second piece, the students used their creative licenses to depict what their first piece reminded them of. "The first part was trying to get a deeper understanding of the realism," said Mary Cecil '17. "I was able to learn more about anatomy and movement."
Here, we will have pictures of select pieces and a small description of what they are. Pictures will be taken by photographers.
Mollie Kerr '17 – "Beauty is Pain."
Kerr's project focuses on the relationship between societal standards of beauty and the toll they can take on people. Kerr's first piece shows the collarbone and shoulder area. Her second, more conceptual piece, creatively depicts the struggles of beauty. To show how painful beauty could be,"I used a lot of bandages, medical tape, syringes, and gauze [for the second piece], " said Kerr. For the collarbone, she took pictures of herself, which were used for reference when drawing the piece. "I wanted to do something different that was not an elbow or a knee." The process of creating her final product was lengthy. "I really enjoyed it. It took a month and a half; I came in during my free periods and after school [to complete it]." Despite the hours of work, Kerr found the project to be interesting and engaging overall.
Mary Cecil '17 – "Under my Umbrella"
For her main piece, Cecil used pencil to create a realistic black and white depiction of a hand. The drawing focuses on the distinction between light and dark. "I was doing an experiment with light when I drew the first one, and I had a light source underneath my hand as I was drawing it," said Cecil. Her conceptual piece features an umbrella drawn in black and white charcoal. Cecil wanted to incorporate the aspect of light into her second drawing as well. She originally envisioned the light shining through the bottom of the umbrella in the rain. "I thought it would be better to use white charcoal on black paper to really emphasize the contrast of the light." At various angles, the dark side of the umbrella drawn in black charcoal can either be viewed on the black paper or blend in, leaving only the white charcoal — the light hitting the object — in view.
Jenna Marcus '17 – "Snakes on a Plane"
Marcus' piece features the joints and vertebrates of the spine. Using a life-sized skeleton as a reference, Marcus drew inspiration from "the unrealistic way in which it is was oriented" which is why the bones in her piece appear twisted. The twisted spinal cord reminded her of snakes and their scales. "I researched snakeskin patterns and the way in which they are used in fashion to accentuate certain parts of the body." Working on this project for a while, Marcus did encounter certain difficulties. "The hardest part was probably figuring out how to orient the shapes within the snakeskin pattern to look like the human back. I had to decide whether I was going to use the shapes to show it or colors and shading. I ended up actually doing both."
Ellie McDonald '17 – "A Shoulder To Cry On"
McDonald chose to focus on a shoulder because she had never studied this joint before and thought it was a very prominent part of the body. After taking a photo of a friend's back, she got hard at work with her black and white charcoal piece. "[I] played around with the lighting and photo editing. I wanted to see a lot of contrast." This is evident in the shadows and highlights on the bumps and indents of the shoulder. The meaning of the piece did not occur to McDonald until after she started her piece. "I ended up thinking the piece was about a woman somewhere private, and she was being watched," she said.

Oral Surgery
Correct Damaged Teeth, Bone, And Gums With Oral Surgery
Getting back to what we can offer people here because of being able to do extensive surgery here makes the simple surgeries really simple. In our practice, because of the large university here and the age of the people, we take out a lot of impacted wisdom teeth. We do it every week and with our cone beam X-ray machine, we can see exactly where those nerves are and those structures that you want to stay away from. Removing teeth without a certain amount of expertise — you can make it heal much easier and faster if you have that expertise. That's the biggest thing with surgeries is basically fighting the infection and fighting the post operative pain. If you can control those two things, then you usually have a successful surgery.
Because we are a family dental office at Appalachian Dental Care, we have a wide array of dental treatments available. Normally, we can discuss different dental treatment options. But there are times when your teeth, bone, or gums are so damaged that the best option is oral surgery procedure.
Do Wisdom Teeth Always Have To Be Removed?
Because wisdom teeth (also called third molars) come in well after your other adult teeth are in place, they usually cause dental problems. Sometimes, third molars try to come in underneath part of your other molars. Other times, the wisdom teeth are impacted, meaning they never fully broke through the gums. This puts you at a higher risk for gum disease and tooth decay at that spot. While it's technically possible for wisdom teeth to come in just fine, they usually have to be removed.
Why Would Other Teeth Need To Be Removed?
Extracting a tooth is always the last resort at our Boone, NC dental office, but sometimes it's the last, best thing to do. If a tooth is so infected that root canal therapy cannot help, or if a tooth has been so damaged that even a dental crown won't help, leaving it there will only cause you a lot of unnecessary pain.
What Is A Ridge Augmentation?
When many teeth have been removed or lost, the gums and even jawbone can look a little odd. This makes sense, since there used to be whole teeth right there. A ridge augmentation is a surgical procedure that can rebuild the original shape of the bone ridge where all teeth are found. Dr. Airey makes sure each removed tooth's socket is strong and the ridge is shaped well by grafting bone tissue to the areas as needed.
Why Would I Need A Bone Graft?
Dental implants are a great way to replace lost teeth, but implants require a good amount of healthy bone tissue in your jaw or they won't stay put for too long. Dr. Airey can surgically add extra bone material to a spot with insufficient bone so it's strong enough to take the dental implants.
What If My Sinuses Are In The Way Of Dental Implants?
Some people cannot get dental implants in their upper jaw because their sinuses are naturally too low. For these people, we can perform a sinus lift. Dr. Airey creates an opening in the upper jawbone and gently moves the sinus up, then fills in the space with healthy bone material.
Why Would I Need A Gum Graft?
For some patients, gum disease can cause the gums to pull away from the teeth, exposing more of the teeth than is healthy. Plus, it makes your teeth look too big. To fix this, we can perform a gum graft. Dr. Airey will surgically graft healthy gum tissue to the spots where the gumline has receded. Not only does this cover the teeth, but it also makes them look normal again.

Change Musharraf's Kashmir policy, hardliners tell Zardari
September 08, 2008 14:11 IST
Pakistan will be in 'great trouble' if President-elect Asif Ali Zardari does not change the policies of his predecessor Pervez Musharraf [Images], which have 'derailed the Kashmir issue', the founder of the outlawed Lashker-e-Taiba has said.
From playboy to Pakistan President
Militant ideologue Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, who now heads the Jamat-ud-Dawah, called on the people of Pakistan to gather at the Line of Control [Images] to show solidarity with the residents of Jammu and Kashmir [Images].
The policies of Musharraf derailed the Kashmir issue, which was also devalued before the international community, Saeed told a 'Kashmir solidarity' rally he led in the southern port city of Karachi on Sunday.
Strike hits life in Kashmir Valley
Pakistan will be in great trouble if President-elect Zardari and his government did not change the policies of Musharraf, Saeed told hundreds of men who attended the rally, held near the mausoleum of Pakistan's founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
Saeed recalled Pakistan People's Party founder Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's commitment to the Kashmir issue and said Zardari should send a message to the United States that the Pakistan Army [Images] is only for the defence of the country.
EC consults Left, BJP about J&K polls
Representatives of several religious groups and political parties also addressed the rally. Hardline Kashmiri separatist Ali Shah Geelani addressed the gathering on phone from Jammu and Kashmir.
A growing number of terrorist leaders have re-emerged in Pakistan after Musharraf's resignation in August to drum up support for their activities in Jammu and Kashmir.

May 16, 2012
I am writing to provide comment on section 106 (i.e., "Confidentiality") of the JOBS Act of 2012. This section provides a non-public firm designated as an "emerging growth company" the option to file its S-1 statement confidentially with the SEC. My suggestion is any amendments made with the SEC over the course of the non-public process are revealed publicly after the first public disclosure.
The major motivation for section 106 is to allow non-public firms to begin the registration process without revealing potentially valuable information to competitors. Under the assumption that many S-1's require several amendments and multiple weeks, filing privately allows any potential issues to be resolved while limiting advance information disclosure. Eliminating premature disclosures should reduce the cost of raising capital, thus encouraging access to capital in general and the public capital market in particular. After the first public filings, the law appears to still give investors are ample time post-public filing to study the firm's financials. However, the history of the filings is an important part of this information set.
As of now, both investors and researchers can investigate the full time series of S-1 amendments. For example, Facebook has had a long series of amendments, many of which do not appear to be driven by SEC requests:
These changes to S-1 filings through amendments can be revealing for both investors and researchers, but this value is present even if the amendments are received after the first public disclosure. Eventual disclosure will protect investors and limit adverse selection, thus enhancing capital formation. The absence of public disclosure of these filings will needlessly reduce the information contained in the public filings. Including the provision that previously non-public amendments will be made public also ensures that the issuer would have a stronger incentive to get the information right immediately. Thus, the SEC can help ensure that confidential filings have the same quality as those previously made public by requiring this ex-post revelation requirement.
Last, academic researchers interested in the going public decision, information disclosure and regulation benefit from observing the full history of amendments. Regardless of the decision on this proposed change, researchers will likely have a smaller set of withdrawn IPO filings after the JOBS act implementation. Insofar as public disclosures of amendments can limit this cost, it would facilitate research in areas of economics, finance and accounting.
One would have to argue that the amendment process itself involves truly confidential information that will not be revealed in the public filing. So while the SEC may want to make it easier for firms to file confidential S-1s, they should not abandon their responsibility to provide full information to investors. Therefore, I argue that the series of non-public S-1 amendments be made public at the time the first pubic S-1 is filed.
