Report: Auburn QB Nick Marshall cited for marijuana possession
Nick Marshall, who led Auburn to the 2014 BCS National Championship game and is considered a Heisman trophy candidate this season, was cited for marijuana possession Friday in Reynolds, Ga., according to a report by WSFA TV.
Marshall, a rising senior for the Tigers, was pulled over at 12:48 p.m. ET, Police Chief Lonnie Holder told WSFA. According to the station, Holder said Marshall was pulled over for a window tinting violation. The odor of marijuana was present, the station reported, and less than an ounce of residue was found.
Marshall was not arrested.
Auburn coach Gus Malzahn released a statement Friday night that read, "I'm aware of the situation that happened earlier today with Nick. I'm very disappointed and I will address it with him accordingly."
Holder could not be reached for comment by USA TODAY Sports.
Reynolds is located between Auburn, Ala., and Marshall's hometown of Pineview, Ga.
Marshall is a returning starter for a team that came within a field goal of winning the national title in coach Gus Malzahn's first season. He is expected to be one of the best quarterbacks in the Southeastern Conference this season.
Marshall is scheduled to represent Auburn on Monday in Hoover, Ala., as part of the SEC Media Days.

I consider myself a bit of an early adopter. If it's shiny and new and runs on batteries, I'm probably interested in it, if not salivating over it. I'm also a neat freak. And, one of those weird people who loves all things Sur La Table – from stand mixers to slotted spoons, mandolins to mixing bowls. Which is how I found myself fantasizing about household gadgets I'd love to own, as I stood there scraping dried spaghetti sauce off a plate at my sink this evening.
Some of these exist. Some of them don't. Some of them sort of do, but the reviews are so terrible I don't think they're worth investing in just yet (I'm looking at you, Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner). But either way, here's what I was wishing for while I washed dishes tonight. . .
-A portable dishwasher that would fit in my small apartment kitchen and cost me less than a month's rent.
-A shower cleaning roomba that actually worked.
-A carpet cleaning roomba that actually worked (and cost me less than a month's rent).
-An automated recording of my mother, built into the TV, to nag me to get off the couch and go read a book…particular when I'm stuck in one of those awful 16 & Pregnant loops on a lazy Saturday afternoon.
-A spider killing device that allows me to stay at least 5 feet away from any arachnids while also never having to actually deal with their little dead bodies.
-A warning meter for when any of the following are running out (preferably with a magical refill-o-getter so I don't have to go to the store): laundry detergent, toothpaste, deodorant, dish soap, skinny cow ice cream cones (yeah, I'm addicted). Actually, scratch that. Really, it's the skinny cow cones I'm worried about running out of. The rest of it can wait.
-An extension cord that adjusts to fit the length I actually need at any given point, instead of turning into a space sucking snake of excess cordage or a tug of war fight to get it as far as I need it.
-A clapper for my heater and air conditioning.
-A clapper for everything else (yeah, I've always wanted one of those).
-One of those awesome omelet-making Japanese cook robots (what can I say, their jaunty chef's hats just tug at my heart strings).
-A recycling bin that carries itself to the dumpster.
-A smell tracker that could figure out where funky smells were coming from (come on, I can't be the only one with the occasional funky smells emanating from god knows where in my kitchen) and preferably eradicate them on sight. . .or smell.
-Something that can predict when the really scary commercials (yeah, I hate the Saw clown guy) are about to come on the TV and automatically change the channel to something happy. Preferably House Hunters on HGTV, which is my new go-to happy place in TV-Land.
-A device that could make House Hunters magically appear on my TV 24 hours a day.
-A device that pops out new hangers when I need them…why am I always running out?
-A magic door in the back of my closet that leads to the mythical land of…more closet space.
What about you? What gadgets would you wish for from the home improvement genie?

Marjorie McAllister kept her mother's Coddington School eighth-grade graduation photo from 1910 in a special box for years. Someday, she thought, she'd have to find the right place for it.
What to do with old family photos or everyday household items you treasure and think others also might value in the future?
Marjorie McAllister kept her mother's eighth-grade graduation photo from 1910 in a special box for years. Someday, she thought, she'd have to find the right place for it. She didn't want it tossed out when she was gone and she had no family members interested in it.
Last year after her sister, Barbara Collins, 87, died, McAllister, 81, felt it was time to decide. I got this email:
"When I was reading the article in the Saturday Patriot Ledger about the ''Coddington rehab,'' I immediately thought about the fact that my mother, Jessie Ethel McEwan McAllister, graduated from the Coddington School on June 16, 1910, at age 15.
"I have the picture of the graduating class seated in front of the school and her graduation certificate. On the back of the picture are the names of all the grammar schools in Quincy and the names of the graduates from each school. Of course, the back is well-worn because of age – but many of the names are very clear.
"My mom was born in 1895 and married in Houghs Neck in 1915. We lived in Houghs Neck all our lives. The photograph has been been in my 'keepsake box,' and I think at this point in my life I have no reason to keep it."
McAllister also has questions she hopes someone could help answer. She was the youngest in the family and never asked questions about where her parents went to school. Her mother and older sister died of Alzheimer's disease; her sister who just died had dementia. By the time she was curious enough to start asking questions, "I never had anyone to ask."
I took the 1910 photograph and graduation certificate to Edward Fitzgerald, executive director of the Quincy Historical Society.
"This is wonderful!" he said, leaning forward and looking closely at the rows of faces. "The hardest thing to go back and document is what ordinary life was like. We are most eager for people to generate things that illustrate the actual life people lived.
"This diploma and photo really help fill out the picture. What the kids look like is important to know."
In the Ledger archives, I found a 1908 photo of the graduating class from Coddington. Fitzgerald noted that the principal looked like he had aged in two years.
Who knows, maybe someone will come to the historical society looking to learn more about their great-grandmother who went to the Coddington and maybe McAllister's photo will hold some clues.
Some names on the back have been scraped off by use or are faded, but many are still there. There are no names on the 1908 photograph.
Fitzgerald laughed as he told a story. A few years ago, a woman brought the historical society her father's orange cap from the late 1940s and 1950s, when he was a driver for the former Eastern Massachusetts Street Railway Co. Fitzgerald grew up in Quincy during that time and it brought back a flood of memories.
"I'm looking for an opportunity to put it into an exhibit, because it is really a neat thing," he said.

Later today, a government's representative is going to make the following important announcements:
Western governments have "the moral imperative to intervene – sometimes militarily – to help spread democracy throughout the world."
The same speaker says that "fostering democracy in the Middle East 'is the best long-term defence against global terrorism and conflict.'"
He feels that keeping democracy alive is hard work and must be actively fostered: "After the end of the cold war it was tempting to believe in the 'end of history' – the inevitable process of liberal democracy and capitalist economics. Now with the economic success of China, we can no longer take the forward march of democracy for granted."
Who is the speaker? John Bolton? George Bush? Nope, wrong, wrong, wrong. It's the British foreign secretary, David Miliband, a representative of the Labour government. Some of his other pronouncements are even more rational and surprising:
Miliband's broad-ranging speech reflects his deep concern that a combination of factors, including widespread distaste for the American neo-conservative movement, disillusionment at the practical failures in Iraq, and a feeling that some underdeveloped countries, such as Kenya, are simply too tribal for democracy, is storing up a powerful isolationist mood in Britain.
The foreign secretary, who has just returned from Afghanistan and Bangladesh, believes there is an urgent need to restate the case for the universal value of democracy.
He will argue that interventions in other countries must be more subtle, better planned, and if possible undertaken with the agreement of multilateral institutions. But "we must resist the argument of the left and the right to retreat into a world of realpolitik".
Miliband believes that in the 1990s "something strange happened.
"The neo-conservative movement seemed more certain about spreading democracy around the world. The left seemed conflicted between the desirability of the goal and its qualms about the use of military means.
"In fact, the goal of spreading democracy should be a great progressive project; the means need to combine both soft and hard power. We should not let the debate about the how of foreign policy obscure the clarity about the what."
This is not what one expects to hear from a Briton, nor from a member of the Labour party and, especially, a member of the Labour government. I wonder if he represents official government policy, if he is running ideas up a flag pole to see if any one salutes, or if he is that bizarre thing, a principled moralist in a politically-correct, Leftist government.
UPDATE: Welcome, American Thinker readers! Ironically, because I'm getting so many lovely hits here, today is the first day I've switched to a new server, so you can feel free to look around here or check out my new site, which not only has the old stuff, but also will move forward into the future with all my new material.

One of the victims disfigured by a gang of thieves during a string of violent home invasions in Sydney had already handed over his valuables before he was attacked with an axe.
The gang of young men broke into six different homes in Auburn, in the city's west, between September 18 and November 22 last year, attacking some victims in their beds and using needless violence each time, police say.
All the attacks happened about 3am (AEDT) at unit blocks or boarding houses within two minutes' walk of Auburn train station.
Detective Sergeant Karl Leis said the thugs were "hell-bent on causing maximum pain and injury".
Two of the victims joined police on Monday in a plea for anyone with information to come forward.
A 26-year-old man had his forehead smashed with the back of an axe, requiring a large section of skull to be removed.
He only answered a knock at his door because he thought a family member had come to inform him of the birth of a relative's child.
Four men burst into his home and demanded cash.
"After they took everything ... I don't know why they still hit my husband," the victim's wife told reporters in Auburn on Monday.
Another victim was asleep when three offenders entered his home and struck him over the head repeatedly with a machete.
He suffered a skull fracture, two long wounds on the top of his head and another across his temple and forehead.
"When I actually opened my eyes the knife (machete) is already in front of me," the man, in his 30s, said through a Mandarin interpreter.
The two men, both labourers, haven't been able to work since the attacks, are afraid to go out in public and asked not to be identified.
Victims were injured in each of the six attacks, including a woman who was strangled briefly while a screwdriver was held to her throat.
None of the victims knew each other or the offenders.
Two offenders were caught on CCTV just after they left the scene of one robbery.
Sgt Leis said the offenders were in their teens and early 20s and stole only mobile phones, laptops and cash.
"They have chosen to go out of their way to inflict horrific injuries. It's very graphic and very confronting," he said.
The thieves used a firearm in one of the attacks and may be linked to a number of armed robberies of local businesses, including a Hungry Jack's restaurant and a supermarket.
Some of the group are believed to be of Pacific Islander appearance and others of eastern European appearance.
The gang members wore hooded jumpers during a number of the offences.
Police are now appealing to the public for help in tracking down the offenders.
Anyone with information is urged to contact CrimeStoppers on 1800 333 000.

My soul is built for comfort not for speed.
So it's no surprise I'm a rustic stew and roasted veggie gal at heart. I'm not entirely sorry to see the summer come to an end. The 100ºF days. The kitchen so hot you hesitate to ignite a single burner- never mind turn on the oven. Enough, already! Knowing the fall equinox is just around the corner is fine with me. I welcome the cooler evenings, the gentler sun.
Fall is eye candy gorgeous here in northern New Mexico- the perfect balance of honeyed sunlight and clear-as-a-bell cobalt skies, the quaking aspens and golden cottonwoods. The aroma of roasting green chiles. It's intoxicating.
And it's enough to brighten any comfort-food-loving mama's spirits. We get to turn our ovens back on again- and roast and bake to our heart's content.
Ironically- you remember irony, don't you?- the best protein for me now (once a vegetarian goddess) is animal sourced. At first I was resistant to include meat in my diet, clinging stubbornly to my life-long belief that the vegetable kingdom- along with some happy dancing-in-the-barnyard hens and generous brown-eyed moo cows and goats- could sustain me well. I was tickled pink to live for years on end (three decades) as an ovo-lacto vegetarian sometimes vegan.
But after my celiac diagnosis, and additional digestive revelations- not to mention, broken hip- it appears my karma has a wicked sense of humor.
Veganism? Dream on.
It just ain't gonna work. For the sake of my health and bones, I must officially join the ranks of the flexitarians. At least I'm not alone. The peace loving Dalai Lama himself discovered he failed to thrive on a strict vegetarian diet as well. So he eats animal protein every other day. He likes to say- with his signature twinkle- he is vegetarian for half the year. I decided if he could live with that, Bubela, who am I to argue?
And so I made a meatloaf (a Maple-Apricot Glazed Meatloaf, in fact). And with the leftovers, I made- you guessed it! Meatloaf pie.
Vegans and vegetarians- don't be blue- try my totally veggie Shepherd's Pie recipe- it's just as good.
Good Karma Meatloaf Pie Recipe
What to do with leftover turkey meatloaf or hamburgers? Make a pie, Darling. Sometimes I put together a single pie in my favorite clay casserole dish. But last night I divided up the filling and made two individual pies with a mashed gold potato crust.
Leftover meatloaf- enough for two servings
1/2 cup roasted corn kernels- or baby peas
6-8 little grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup cooked carrot pieces
A splash of broth mixed with a touch of ketchup, to moisten
About two cups of cooked potatoes- or non-mayo potato salad (I used mashed gold potatoes with dill)
Sea Salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
Dill or parsley for the top
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Use a fork to break apart the leftover meatloaf. Add the corn, tomatoes and carrots; mix to combine. Add enough broth and ketchup to moisten the mixture. Season to taste. Add a touch more ketchup or gluten-free Worcestershire sauce- especially if it is dry. Mix and spoon into a casserole dish or individual gratin dishes.
Top with cooked potatoes, mashed potatoes, or even vinegar potato salad. Sprinkle with dill, sea salt and pepper.
Bake until heated through and bubbling- about 30 to 35 minutes or so (depending upon how cold the leftovers were when you assembled your pie).
Serve with a crisp green salad.
Serves two.
Karina's Notes:
If you like a spicy meatloaf pie use your favorite salsa to moisten the filling and add some chopped jalapenos.

IN CASE YOU missed it - and chances of that are pretty good - I promised to produce answers today to the Winter Day Quiz, presented in this space Monday as a public service to snowbound readers of The Sun.
Some of you might have found the quiz through Baltimoresun.com. (A member of the Royal Navy did but e-mailed disappointment that the questions were not "global" enough.)
But I have a feeling most of you missed the whole thing, home delivery of the paper being so daunting the day after the storm of the century. So, instead of just providing the answers, I'll repeat part of the questions, thereby taking up twice as much space as I would by printing answers only and completing this column in record time so I can get back to shoveling snow.
1. Unscramble these letters to get to a Pulaski Highway delicacy: T F B E I P E. The answer could have been Stewart's "steam burger," but there's no "p" in "steam burger." So the answer is "pit beef." I had a pretty good pit beef sandwich on Pulaski Highway in Rosedale about two months ago. It was up to its usual standard, and the guy in the shack threw in some "burnt ends."
2. His wife, Sharon, is the author of Safe at Home: Mike Hargrove.

L'Wren Scott, designer and Jagger's girlfriend, found dead
Fashion designer L'Wren Scott and longtime girlfriend of Mick Jagger has been found dead of an apparent suicide, reports the AP, ABC News and the New York Daily News .
Scott's body was found hanging from a scarf on a doorknob by her assistant at the designer's New York residence around 10 a.m. Monday, reports the Daily News. The AP reports an official as saying no note was found and there was no sign of foul play. The medical examiner's office will determine the cause of death. Scott was believed to be 49 but had not disclosed her precise age, according to the AP.
Fran Curtis, a spokesperson for Jagger, tells USA TODAY that the singer is "completely shocked and devastated by the news." Scott had been in a relationship with the Rolling Stones frontman for more than a decade. Jagger is currently on tour with his band and recently arrived in Australia.
Scott, who began her career as a model, was an established designer who launched her eponymous label in 2006. Scott's designs were worn by A-listers including Nicole Kidman, Sarah Jessica Parker, Angelina Jolie, Penelope Cruz, Amy Adams, Madonna and Michelle Obama. In 2012, Jagger visited the White House where he was delighted to see the first lady wearing his girlfriend's designs. "It was so great to see the first lady wearing L'Wren Scott clothes when we were at the White House the other day," he proudly pointed out during an interview at the time with USA TODAY. "So that was really good. And I didn't see much of Fashion Week because I only came up for the last day. I'm not really that much of a Fashion Week groupie, but I went to L'Wren's show and that was great."
In December, a special limited edition collection of L'Wren Scott designs for Banana Republic made her style more attainable for the masses and quickly sold out. The company has tweeted that they are "stunned and saddened to learn of the loss of L'Wren Scott. Our hearts and prayers go out to her friends and family."
Other retailers and notables throughout the fashion world, as well as celebrities, took to Twitter to express their condolences.
Marc Jacobs: "Rest in peace, L'Wren Scott. You'll forever be missed."
Cushnie et Ochs: "RIP L'wren Scott, so sad to lose a beautiful strong female designer."
Bette Midler: "Just got news of the beautiful L'wren Scott's death perhaps by her own hand. I am devastated. A rare, wonderful, talented soul. Goodbye."
Olivia Munn: "Shocked and saddened by the passing of @lwrenscott ... she was an amazing soul, talented artist and an unbelievably giving friend. RIP."
Bo Derek: "RIP L'Wren Scott and thank you for making me feel beautiful. @lwrenscott #L'WrenScott"
Jaimie Alexander: "This is extremely sad news. RIP L'Wren Scott. You were most certainly one of a kind."
Nina Garcia: "Saddened over the loss of the very talented, generous and always gracious L'Wren Scott. You will be missed"
Neiman Marcus: "It is with great sadness that we've learned about the tragic loss of designer L'Wren Scott. #RIP"
Gilt.com: "Deeply saddened to hear about the passing of L'Wren Scott—a brilliant fashion mind and a beautiful woman. Our thoughts are with Mick."

One of my favorite quotes goes like this: "Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear."
Ambrose Redmon wrote that.
Fear is an impulse, or like the tattoo on my arm states, "Fear is the mind killer." Frank Herbert wrote that.
What does fear have to do with anything? Well, it has a lot to do with how I became a writer.
It happened on a cold, winter night, much like the one I'm seeing right now out my window. Me and my mother were taking the tram home after having visited our grandfather. And it just came to me. Not kidding, it did. An idea for a story.
About a brilliant scientist on a very cold, remote planet (maybe I was thinking about Pluto, which was still a planet back then.) who discovers a way to travel faster than the speed of light. He's name was Fertz, an obvious analogy to Hertz. Then something was going on with good robots and bad robots. That I remember. And I even gave my story a title. "The Future."
It was supposed to be this long series, and there was a military base on the Moon, and it played an important role in the stories.
Anyway, the same night, I began writing. I was mesmerized by what my mind had come up with. I couldn't believe that no one had written the story that I had just thought of.
Of course, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, but maybe that's one of two requirements for doing anything in life: you're either brave enough to do it or so stupid that you don't have a clue about what you're getting yourself into.
So I wrote. And I wrote. And so on.
I thought I was great. I really did. I never even stopped to ask myself what I was supposed to do with all the stuff that I wrote. I just knew that things were going to work out.
I guess that's how people think when they feel they have a calling, a sort of higher purpose in life.
A few months later I posted one of my short stories on a forum. No one liked it. Not even one bit. Someone said I was either a retard or 14 years old (I was both.)
And I was angry. At first because they couldn't see how brilliant I was. And then because I thought that I would never become who I wanted to be.
That's when I started reading. The first book I read was Dune by Frank Herbert. After I finished it, I just wanted to write something as good as it. I just wanted to make someone feel the same way that novel made me feel.
And I kept writing. It didn't matter that no one read my stories.
Some stories I never finished. Others, never even got the chance to be written. I just imagined them, played around with the idea, the characters for a while, and then I'd sit down and write about something else. Something much more interesting.
By writing all those stories, by reading all the books I could get my hands on, I learned how to write. That's all it takes: you read and you write, and if you do it long enough, you'll become a writer.
But there's one more thing I learned by writing all those stories that no one ever read (sometimes I was afraid to read them as well, simply because I knew that I would realize they weren't as great as I had thought them to be): I wrote just for the sake of writing. And I had lots of fun.
Writing this or that story, not worrying about deadlines or whether or not people were going to like what I wrote.
I'm a writer because I write, because being a writer is what defines me, defines who I am and who I was and who I will be. And trust me, I wrote for all the reasons you can imagine. I wrote because I had to get those words out of my head, I wrote for fun, I wrote because I wanted to impress people, because I wanted to make them cry or laugh. I wrote because I wanted to leave something behind, because I wanted a really long Wikipedia article about me. I wrote for fame and glory, I wrote for money. I wrote because I was heartbroken, I wrote because I knew no one was going to write my stories for me. I wrote because I was starving. I wrote because I was alone.
I wrote for the entire world, and I wrote for just one person.
I wrote because I knew my stories would never come true, and I wrote because I hoped they would.
And the odd thing is that all those years I never hesitated, I never doubted the fact that I would, someday, become a writer.
And, yes, I did give up writing. For a few days, for a few weeks, even for a few years. And, yes, I felt as if now it's not the time… now I'm not good enough. But I never doubted the fact that one day I would become the writer I always wanted to be.
In November 2010 I found out about NaNoWriMo. I had never written in English before, so I thought I should give it a shot. I wrote a really bad novel, but I had a lot of fun.
In January 2011 I self-published this novel I had written during NaNoWriMo. Most of you know this part, how I failed at selling copies, at receiving reviews, at properly promoting my book.
Soon I lost interest. And that was the closest I ever got to actually giving up on my dream of becoming a writer. For a few months I didn't write. I just kept thinking about how lamentably I had failed, about that two star review I got on Goodreads, about all the mistakes and all the naive writing and the unrealistic characters and situations.
Then one night I had an idea. Much like the way it happened when I wrote my first story… it just came to me. Out of a sudden, I knew how to fix things. And I began re-writing this novel.
I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do with it. I honestly didn't know if it was worth the trouble of self-publishing again. And going down the traditional route… that seemed to be out of reach for someone living so far away from all the agents and the publishing houses…
In September 2011 I found about Wattpad, an online community where a lot of aspiring writers upload their stories. And I tried my luck, wanting to know if someone would like my story. And to my surprise, they did like it. Very, very much.
That's all I needed. Not a million dollar advance, not Warner Bros. optioning the movie rights. Just a bunch of teenagers telling me that they really liked my writing.
So I wrote. And wrote. Pretty much like I never wrote before.
And you know what I learned in all my years of writing?
All that matters are the words you write. Nothing else. When you do your thing, it doesn't matter (and it shouldn't) what others are going to think about it. When you write, you should stop worrying about whether or not people are going to like your story, whether or not someone's going to read it, whether or not they'll care. You should stop worrying whether or not you have something to say or you just want to say something, because you do have something to say. And it's not about saying something that no one else ever thought of saying, but about saying it in your voice. And that's something we all have.
Writing is all about finding the courage to write. And courage is all about realizing that some things are more important than fear.

A Remembrance of William Niskanen
I first met Bill when I went to the Council of Economic Advisers in mid‐1982. Bill had come to the CEA in the spring of 1981 as one of the early appointees of the incoming Reagan administration. He had known the president and worked with him when he was governor of California.
Bill and I quickly became good friends. Whenever we were both in Washington, we would usually start the day with 20 minutes of chewing over what was going on in the economy and in public policy. Part of the bond that developed between us was a consequence of the unrelenting infighting within the administration. The infighting sometimes involved the CEA but Bill and I, most of the time, were able to stand clear and remain in neutral territory.
Of course, Bill understood how bureaucracies work, or failed to work, from both his research and his experience at Rand, Ford, OMB and, yes, at UCLA and Berkeley. His insights were a staple of our conversations both at the CEA and later. Very few scholars have such first‐hand experience in these various sectors of the economy. That fact often shows in the work of academics who have policy ideas that are simply untenable in the context of how organizations and the political system actually work.
A wonderful sense of humor lubricated Bill's interactions with others. Well, most of the time anyway. During the administration's work that culminated in the Tax Reform Act of 1986, Bill cracked along the way that the Treasury proposal was one that Walter Mondale would be proud of. I had left the CEA and returned to Brown University by that time, but Bill's crack so angered Treasury Secretary Don Regan (who was not renowned for a sense of humor) that Regan vetoed Bill's path to become chairman of the CEA. He served as acting chairman for a short time and then joined Cato.
Bill was the most widely read person I have known. That, plus the breadth of his personal experience, made him a delightful conversationalist on almost any topic in almost any group.
Although it was a big loss to the Reagan administration for Bill to depart, it was a huge gain for Cato and for the nation for him to join Cato. His leadership there, working closely with Ed Crane, built Cato to what it is today — the premier libertarian think tank in the world. Bill's scholarly work will influence future generations; so also, in equal or greater measure, will the Cato Institute that he helped to build.

Cloudy wine (mostly) doesn't sell. Neither does (most) wine spoiled by spoilage microbes that produce off-aromas. And so, while it is entirely possible to remove floating particles that make wine cloudy and (most) microorganisms via careful winemaking without sterile filtration, most winemakers appreciate the extra insurance it gives. Filters are essentially membranes punctuated by lots of little pores: all good stuff should flow through the pores; bad stuff you want to keep out of the bottle should be too big to pass. To reliably remove yeast and bacteria, filters need to have really tiny pores, and the question always is: are those filters excluding stuff other than the microbes, good-tasting stuff that I want the wine to keep? We're talking .45 μm pores here, an order of magnitude smaller than the diameter of a red blood cell; anything bigger risks allowing bitsy bacteria through.
Pro-filtration folks say that all molecules important to wine quality are much to small to get caught in even these super-stringent filters. Filtration-shy folks say that wine tastes different post-filtration; no matter what molecular measurements say should happen, something is happening. For an excellent discussion of the arguments on both sides, see Tim Patterson's excellent review in Wines and Vines (updated here, but this one is still behind a pay wall). Bottom line: scientific evidence suggests that while some important molecules could get stuck to the surface of the filter, all the important stuff can pass through safely; dissenters can still taste a difference, and maybe that has something to do with big conglomerates of molecules.
So it stands for conventional filtration. But what about cross-flow filtration, they shiny new-ish solution to some of the conventional process's major hassles? Conventional filtration points a stream of flowing wine directly at the filter membrane and waits for it to percolate. Enough push needs to be behind that wine stream to keep things moving, but too much push and the force of the flowing wine will rip right through the filter. And the wine must be almost entirely free of particles in the first place, else biggish stuff will cover the surface of the filter, block the holes, and slow down flow. Either way, the filter membrane will need to be replaced, and they're expensive. Cross-flow filtration instead points the wine stream across the surface of the membrane. Liquid still flows through but with less direct pressure on the membrane, and the constant stream sweeps pores clean of junk, too.
So cross-flow is better than traditional filtration for a few technical reasons. Is it also better for wine quality?
A study addressing that question has just been published (as a provisional draft; it's not yet appeared in the print journal) with work done by a team from UC Davis. A few published articles have shown chemical analyses of cross flow-filtered wines, but this study is unique and helpful in two ways: 1. The emphasis was on whether a trained tasting panel could detect flavor differences in filtered wine; and 2. Wines were tested not just immediately after being filtered, but from bottle samples taken at intervals out to eight months post-filtration. Kitchen-sink white and red blends were included.
Though the group's experiments aimed at looking for sensory differences following filtration, their results uncovered something else. The flavor of the unfiltered red wine changed more over time — more earth, less fruit beginning at two months and continuing to the eight-month end point — while the flavor of the filtered red remained more or less constant; in other words, the filtered wine was more stable. The obvious explanation is that the unfiltered wine suffered from some kind of microbial growth after bottling, even though the idea of a UC Davis-crafted experimental wine having microbial spoilage issues does seem strange.
More to the original point: even though chemical analyses showed that filtration decreased phenolics in the wine — filtered reds had lower pigmentation and up to 26% lower tannin levels — the tasting panel didn't pick up corresponding differences in astringency. That's surprising. The only explanation offered in the paper is that the magnitude of the change mustn't have been big enough to be detectable.
In the end, then, this study probably does more to fuel the filtration debate than to help resolve it. Pro-filtration folk can point to filtration's apparent lack of sensory impact, and to the likely spoilage of the unfiltered wine. Filtration-caution folk can point to the color and tannin changes and say that, even if those changes didn't affect flavor in this wine, similar changes might indeed be important in other wines. So instead, we have one more example of what may indeed be Rule No. 1 in winemaking: there are no easy answers.

The word angel means "messenger" and this word expresses the nature of angelic service to the human race. Angels are organized into several orders, or Angelic Choirs. The most influential of these classifications was that put forward by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite in the Fourth or Fifth century, in his book The Celestial Hierarchy.
In this work, the author drew on passages from the New Testament, specifically Ephesians 6:12 and Colossians 1:16, to construct a schema of three Hierarchies, Spheres or Triads of angels, with each Hierarchy containing three Orders or Choirs. In descending order of power, these were:
- First Hierarchy:
- Second Hierarchy:

by Mary Davis, Regional President, Special Olympics Europe Eurasia; Dec 5, 2013
Earlier this week, the nation not only celebrated Giving Tuesday, but International Day of Persons with Disabilities. For over 20 years, the International Day of Persons with Disabilities has been promoted by the United Nations as an international observance that promotes understanding of disability issues and mobilizes support for persons with disabilities. As the world's largest organization dedicated to improving the lives of children and adults with intellectual disabilities through sport, health and education, it is a timely opportunity for us to reinforce our message of acceptance, dignity and respect for all people with disabilities.
A Vehicle for Ending Stigma
In Special Olympics we promote sport as a vehicle for ending discrimination and stigma of people with intellectual disabilities -- of which there are more than 200 million people in the world. The vast majority face a life of prejudice and discrimination, loneliness and limitation. Our number one challenge in Special Olympics is to end that.
For our mission to succeed, we have to be able to do two things: First, to reach out to people with intellectual disabilities and their families and welcome them onto the field of sport. Secondly, we must be able to communicate the message of their abilities as a way of overturning stigma and prejudice. If we don't do both, we're not successful.
A Massive Social Problem
People say sport is good for health; for confidence; for teamwork -- this is all so true. But we have a slightly sharper edge. We are confronting a massive social problem. It's not just about teamwork and confidence. That's nice and it's good. But this is about the World's oldest prejudice -- against people who have a greater challenge learning and participating.
Access to and participation in sport and physical education provide an opportunity to experience social inclusion for people otherwise marginalized by social, cultural or religious barriers caused by disability or other forms of discrimination. Through sport, our athletes experience equality, freedom and a dignifying means for empowerment. Sport, we believe, is a unique life-changing vehicle for people with intellectual disabilities because we're dealing with people who are marginalized and discriminated against and who have so many challenges with traditional educational environments and traditional pathways to full inclusion. Sport becomes an alternative that is almost unique in their lives.
Special Olympics
Special Olympics bring together more than 4.2 million athletes with intellectual disabilities across 175 countries. We provide year round training and competition opportunities for children and adults with intellectual disabilities in 33 different sports every single day. We don't just support athletes but their families too.
In the area of public health, Special Olympics is the world's largest public health organization working to address the persistent disparities in access to quality health care services for people with intellectual disabilities through our Healthy Athlete Program. Last year alone, more than 13,100 volunteer healthcare professionals gave of their time and expertise to conduct 116,000 health screenings worldwide for our athletes in 100 countries. In many cases these screenings provide an opportunity for athletes to see a doctor for the very first time. In some cases the lives of our athletes have been saved through the detection and treatment of medical ailments the athletes and their families didn't even know they had.
Breaking Barriers
In Special Olympics we believe by bringing together those with and without intellectual disabilities to compete and participate on the same playing field, divisions and barriers are broken down and prejudices and discrimination eliminated far quicker. We say to live unified, we must play unified and that is what the Special Olympics Unified Sports program is about.
As we mark International Day of Persons with Disabilities this week, we must not lose sight of the core tenants of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. They represent the most fundamental rights of all persons regardless of ability level: the right to health care services; the right to education; the right to an environment safe from exploitation and abuse; the right to sports activities; and most importantly the right to be included as an equal member of society.
Inspiring People Worldwide
Sport is a powerful vehicle and Special Olympics athletes show their strengths and abilities through participation. Each athlete has a different story, but each story has much in common. From the athletics track to the football field; from the bowling alley to the basketball court, our athletes show their courage and the results of all their training and hard work. Special Olympics is thriving proof of the commonality of the human spirit; that color, creed, ability and background are irrelevant in the pursuit of a shared goal.
Special Olympics inspires people across the world to think beyond the normal bounds of possibility. People with intellectual disabilities are empowered to achieve their dreams and family members see loved ones grow in self-confidence and self-worth. With each athlete's experience, there comes a lasting legacy of attitudes changed and an ability to welcome and accept that which is different.
The Power of Sport
All of us at Special Olympics ask you to remember that people with an intellectual disability are talented rounded people. Yes, they need specific supports, but they have the same expectations, hopes and abilities as everyone else -- the desire to contribute, participate, form relationships and friendships and compete on the sports field. The power of Sport is the vehicle that changes the lives of our athletes over and over again.

Obamacare Is Unconstitutional
The very day President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, Virginia's attorney general filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging the constitutionality of the health care overhaul. Virginia's complaint alleges, in relevant part, that the PPACA's requirement that every individual purchase health insurance or pay a fine — the "individual mandate" — is unconstitutional because Congress lacks the power to enact it.
The U.S. Government filed a motion to dismiss, claiming that Virginia lacked standing to bring this suit but also that the Commerce Clause, the Necessary and Proper Clause, and Congress' taxing power all justify the individual mandate. Virginia responded, in relevant part, that the Commerce Clause does not grant Congress unbridled authority to regulate inactivity and force every man, woman, and child to enter the marketplace or face a civil penalty.
Cato, joined by the Competitive Enterprise Institute and Georgetown law professor (and Cato senior fellow) Randy Barnett, filed a "memorandum" — not called a "brief" because this is district (trial‐level) court — supporting Virginia's position and explaining that neither of the Government's fallback positions legitimizes the individual mandate. We point out that the Necessary and Proper Clause is not an independent source of congressional power, but enables Congress to exercise its enumerated powers. Similarly, the taxing power does not authorize the individual mandate because the non‐compliance penalty is a civil fine — and it would be unconstitutional even if it were a tax because it is neither apportioned (if a direct tax) nor uniform (if an excise tax). Moreover, Congress cannot use the taxing power as a backdoor means of regulating an activity unless such regulation is authorized elsewhere in the Constitution.
You can read our memorandum here. The Government now has an opportunity to reply to the arguments raised by Virginia and those supporting its position (including us), and then the court will entertain oral arguments on the motion to dismiss. We can expect a ruling this fall.

David Oliver and Ryan Wilson (left) celebrate after winning the gold and silver medals, respectively, in the 110 metre hurdles at the World Athletics Championships in Moscow. Hurdles super-hotness David Oliver, who won bronze at the 2008 Beijing Games, is now the World and American champion in 110M hurdles.
The United States narrowly missed out on a clean sweep of the medals "after the defending champion, Jason Richardson, stumbled after hitting the final hurdle," notes The Guardian. Oliver won "in exactly 13 seconds, the fastest time of the year. Ryan Wilson took silver in 13.13 and Sergey Shubenkov of Russia edged Richardson for bronze."

It would be very easy to post a very long list of reasons why I hate going to church, but the main reason is that "going to Church" is a sad excuse for "being the Church" and those who follow Christ are called to be the Church, not to attend one.
In other words, "going to Church" involves having a meeting about Jesus. Whereas "being the Church" involves meeting with Jesus and allowing Him to do the speaking, the teaching, the leading and the directing.
Going to Church is about assigning people specific functions, and often involves compensating them financially to do so, while the majority of people sit and observe them.
Learn to hear His voice. He wants to speak to you. He wants you to experience the kind of life you could only dream about. That life is found only through knowing Jesus.

PLEASE NOTE: We understand the emotional burden that 9.11.01 caused in the US. We would like to apologize in advance if this scenario offends anyone whether is a Muslim, and American, or any religion, race or gender. This game is only intended for recreational purposes only. Being on the Taliban or the American side will not and does not reflect anything upon anyone.
09/01/01 marked one of the most tragic events in the history of the U.S. no military on earth was as feared as the American armed forces. With precision bombs, nukes, artillery, an armada of tanks and a naval fleet to which no other country could compare. No one could have expected such a devious, well planned assault on American soil as the attacks of 911. This attack was not made by China, Russia, or any other super power in the world. The credit was given to one man responsible for not only the attack, but for the entire movement of radical Islam as well. Only one man clever enough to break through the multiple defenses of the U.S.: Osama Bin Laden!
Finally the world has heard his call. As the world cries out against him, thousands mark this event as a victory and join his ranks. He has pierced the heart of America. And now they threaten to fight him on his turf... Let them come... they will fight a losing battle every step of the way. His life was not important, his mission is... To ruin the American way of life. Will he succeed?
Soon after the first tower was falling, a small group of soldiers were quickly preparing for their nations call. This highly equipped group trained in the most difficult of conditions and hardened for the most intense missions, they lived only for war. Specialized from the ground up they are their nations pride, they are Seal Team Six!
Sent by the president himself they had but one clear mission... Find and eliminate Osama Bin Laden!

Game play:
Throughout the 10 years of war. Seal team six both gained and lost ground against Bin Laden's freedom fighters. This will closely be reflected throughout this game as there will be 3 permanent standing flag poles. On those poles will be two flags. One will represent seal team six; the other will represent the Taliban. At every hour on the hour a ref will record whose flag is higher on the pole (giving points to that team).
Special Rules:
There will be a large tape line throughout the playing area. This will be to identify Afghanistan from Pakistan. Seal team six will not be allowed to pass through this border, unless specific mission cards or rewards permit. Freedom fighters will be able to travel through and along this border at any time during the game. More details will be available during briefing.
Seal team six will have marked and easily identified "medics". These medics will have the ability to respawn a player by simply touching them. If on seal team six you are hit you have two options. To return to your general's camp and respawn, or find your closest medic. If you are a freedom fighter with Osama, you have only one option return to your general and receive divine healing and new direction.
Throughout the day, missions will be given to each team's commander. The mission cards will spell out what the objectives are, how long you have to complete them, and how many points they are worth. It is your commander's responsibility to communicate and assign these missions to the rest of the team. Refs will be monitoring these missions to record when they are completed. Such missions may also include "special" rewards such as suicide bombers, drones, spies, air assaults, and explosives.
The earlier you register, the better chance you have of picking your team!!!

|Extract Superclass Dialog
|Properly Formatted Code
I hope one of these features will help make your development more efficient!
|Extract Superclass Dialog
|Properly Formatted Code
1. To all who read this: If you are going to add localization to your app and you face converting 100s of strings in your code into constants, have a look at my program "Arbed" which automates this significantly. See: http://www.tempel.org/RB/Localization
2. "dim i as integer" is actually not the "correct" case, but "dim i as Integer" is, usually: "dim" and "as" are keywords - capitalize them as you like. "Integer" is not a keyword, though, it's simply a pre-defined type. And most users write their types ("MyClass") in upper case, so Integer should be as well. ;)
I've used Arbed to localize an app; it worked great.
Capitalized keywords are the only way to go!
Is there any reason a keyboard shortcut for "standardize" is not present? One would think it would be there since day one.
"Standardize all code on Save" is an option I wouldn't mind having :)
"Standardize format" is the lamest thing ever. Even old, old Access 2000 did this automatically.
There is a Feedback case to improve Standardize Format:
(comment ate the link)
Feedback case for Standardize Format:
Maybe it's time I roll out the syntax beautifier feature in Arbed, which not only could standardize keyword case but also add/remove spaces around () and such things.
Many IDEs have a "reformat code", "beautify", or similar feature. You can ask for all code or select a range of the code.
My previous post I copied/pasted some examples, but Blogger acrambled the post and I deleted. :)
When talking about Standardize Format, you may want to have a look to my Code Formatting folder in Feedback. There are multiple cases around the topic, also the request for Standarizing whitespace is present, but maybe it should be moved to it's own case...

RICHMOND, Va. – The turn of the calendar means a new year, but it also means a new start for the VCU Track and Field Program. The Rams are about to embark on the 2013 season in a new conference, but with the same determined effort to compete.
VCU continues its season on Saturday with the Father Diamond Invitational in Fairfax, Va. at George Mason University after the holiday break.
"I think every coach in America worries when their athletes are out on their own," Head Coach Jon Riley said. "We have to get [the athletes] back in decent shape and it is kind of like starting over."
This season, however VCU will have a little added motivation. With the move to the Atlantic 10 conference the track and field program will face new opportunities and challenges. The biggest of those opportunities will be the Atlantic 10 Indoor Track & Field Championship, an event the Colonial Athletic Association did not offer.
"We have a goal and something to train for," said Riley. "It makes coming back early over the Christmas break a little easier to train and accomplish our goal in mid-February."
The Rams goal in their new conference is very simple. Win.
"My expectation is to win both men and women," said Riley. "We want our athletes to compete to the best of their ability and to accomplish what we can, but ultimately I want to win."
However, there will be some new challenges ahead of VCU in their new conference. With talented teams on both the men's and women's side it is tough tell what to expect from this season's A-10 competition.
"It is always tough to know how other teams recruited before getting out there, but once the season starts up we will see how things fall into place," said Riley.
Individually, sophomore Brandon Ruffin (pictured, left) returns after a standout rookie campaign in the throws. Ruffin placed in the top 10 in school history in the indoor shot put last season, and had an outstanding spring and fall. Sophomore George Moore, who runs the 400m and 500m races, also had a strong fall and could have a breakout indoor season.
On the women's side sophomore Kiara Porter is poised for another breakout season after qualifying for the World Junior Nationals last season. Porter and junior Niaimani Aduma (pictured, right) performed very well this fall for the Rams.
"We are trying to keep the momentum from the great fall we had," Riley said "The tough part is coming off of the Christmas break with people in shape."
Adding to those four athletes is a lot of young talent on the men's and women's side. Combined the two teams feature 47 athletes that are underclassmen (freshmen and sophomores).
"I am looking to have a very big year out of our young athletes, and seeing what they bring to the table once they get out there for the first time." Riley said.
There is not much time off between the indoor and outdoor seasons for the Rams, but with the new challenge of an indoor championship it sets up quite nicely for the Rams to ride all momentum into the outdoor campaign.
"Once we get through the indoor season it will set us up for a great outdoor season," said Riley. "We have good trainers and massage therapist and we need all of that because I beat them up the entire year and try to get them to recover the championship. This indoor championship with a goal set in mind will set us up perfect for outdoor. Everything is brand new and I think the athletes will be excited for the challenge."

Welcome to St. Paul Antiochian Orthodox Church
St. Paul Antiochian Orthodox Church is part of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, under the care of His Eminence, the Most Reverend Metropolitan JOSEPH.
Orthodox History
The history of the Orthodox Church actually begins in the Acts of the Holy Apostles, with the Descent of the Holy Spirit: When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance (Acts 2:1-4). As the text further tells us, on that same day, after St. Peter had preached to the gathered people, those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls (Acts 2:41), thus constituting the first Christian community at Jerusalem.
