Matthew 5:31-32
From Series: "Matthew"
On the heels of our vision series, Unexplainable - which was all about what it actually looks like to follow Jesus - we believe it's important for us to begin to dive deep into the life of Jesus. We want to step into his world, listen into his conversations, walk in his footsteps, and get covered in his dust. And, what we'll discover is that the book of Matthew depicts the good news of the new Genesis that has been brought about through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the anointed King of the world. I believe this will be a transformative journey that will help our community step into the new identity we have in Jesus, and make us effective partners in bringing his good news to the world.

Front Range borders edge of above-average monsoon for the next month
The cool pass of rain the Front Range experienced Monday keeps hope alive that a wet monsoon season will help quench the thirst of the state's parched mountains and plains. Western Colorado is sitting pretty, with above-average rain expected for the next month, according to the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center.
The same is true in the 6-to-10-day outlook. While high hopes are good, they don't water the lawn. The Front Range is riding the edge of the boundary. A shift east would be a gift to Colorado's dusty plains this summer. A shift west would be a bust in the chops for many parts of the drought-weary Front Range.
Perhaps not so over scars left by Colorado's worst wildfire season in a decade. Since the dry spell broke — well, cracked, maybe — on July 6, mud has slid on fire-blighted areas left by the High Park fire in Larimer County, the Waldo Canyon fire in El Paso County and the Fourmile Canyon fire in Boulder County. There's just no way everybody wins with Colorado's weather.
The state already has been declared a crop disaster area, and all of Colorado is in either a Severe, extreme or exceptional drought.
We have a long way to go to get back to normal. Denver International Airport east of the city averages 1.96 inches in July. So far, the airport has received only 0.41 of an inch, and we are beyond the halfway point on the month.

The work of the Modernists and Post-Modernists is not for everybody. Literature from this period can be dense, esoteric, and difficult for the casual reader to access. However, if you don't mind playing the occasional mind game while you read a book, you might try a work from one of the greats like T.S. Elliot or Jennifer Egan. By reading these works and studying the scholarship around them, you can develop a new understanding of and appreciation for he use of the English language in art.
The representational nature of language in art is one of the big concerns of Modern and Post-Modern writers. In order to function, art must represent something – or must it? The act of representation has such a profoundly disruptive effect on a thing or concept that, in the eyes of many modernists, the thing represented is rendered completely pointless. Rather, it is the representational act that should stand at the center of the artistic work, and the artist should feel free to call the audience's attention to the fact that representation is happening.
This emphasis on 'the person behind the curtain' is conveyed to the audience through a variety of techniques. Some writers use elaborate, inaccessible language to make the reader work for any meaning found in the text. Others use a kaleidoscopic timeline to force the audience to recreate the process of making a narrative out of real events. In almost all cases, the reader is challenged to find meaning rather than handed meaning on a silver platter.
Of course, if you want to be a commercial writer, you're typically better off indulging your readers' laziness than you are challenging them to a battle of wits. This doesn't mean that the modernists don't have some interesting philosophical ideas to offer the writer. We are, after all, in the business of representation, and learning a little about the ramifications of that act behooves us all.

major macro economic indicators
|2018 (e)
|2019 (f)
|GDP growth (%)
|Inflation (yearly average, %)
|Budget balance (% GDP)*
|Current account balance (% GDP)
|Public debt (% GDP)
(e): Estimate. (f): Forecast. *Fiscal year 2019 from the 1st July 2018 to the 30th June 2019.
- Natural resources: fertile land, oil fields, hydroelectric potential
- Diversification efforts, particularly in the agri-food sector
- International support for infrastructure projects
- Debt mainly on concessional terms
- Poverty and inequality
- Inadequate infrastructure
- Insecurity in border areas (Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan)
- Slow progress in governance (particularly control of corruption)
Consumption and public investment support growth
Growth should tick upwards in 2019, continuing the rebound driven by private consumption and public investment. The implementation of infrastructure projects under the second National Development Plan will lend support to this momentum. Target areas for public investment will include transport sectors, as the government bids to improve road and rail networks, and the energy sector, amid efforts to expand the electricity distribution network. With the Karuma and Isimba hydroelectric power plants coming onstream, electricity generation should be boosted, supporting the development of industry, as well as ICT services. However, the latter could suffer from a new tax on social media use. The prospects for oil production (which is scheduled to begin in 2021) and the start of construction of the pipeline linking the country to Tanzania should provide support to private investment. The private sector could also target opportunities in the mining and agricultural sectors, which are expected to continue to expand. Pulled down by imports of capital goods, the contribution of the trade balance to growth will remain negative, despite the expected increase in production of coffee and gold, the two main export products. Conversely, private consumption is expected to continue to support growth, benefiting in particular from the pick-up in credit growth and from the fact that inflation is close to the central bank's target (5%), despite the key interest rate hike introduced in late 2018 to temper inflationary pressures. After dipping below 2% in the first half of 2018, inflation is expected to continue on the upward path begun since then, fuelled by brisk domestic demand, rising fuel prices and shilling depreciation.
Greater vulnerability to external shocks
The budget deficit is expected to continue to widen in 2018/19, in line with the increase in expenditure. Most of this increase will result from capital spending. However, as in previous years, these expenses are expected to be inferior to the declared objectives. Current expenditure is also expected to continue to go up, reflecting the increased wage bill, education, and health expenditure, as well as interest payments. At the same time, low domestic resource mobilisation will remain an obstacle to revenue growth. Grants and loans will therefore remain necessary to finance the budget deficit, and debt will continue to accumulate. A domestic debt build-up is already causing debt service to increase. While the large share of concessional debt supports the sustainability of the external debt trajectory, a shock could compromise it.
Imports of capital goods and petroleum products are expected to continue to weigh on the trade and current account deficits. The balance of services, particularly those related to project implementation, will also remain in deficit. The income balance will continue to be affected by profits repatriation from investors. The only positive contribution to the current account balance is the transfer balance, which will be mainly driven by expatriate remittances. A combination of FDI and external borrowing will finance the current account deficit. With the US tightening monetary policy, the widening current account deficit is putting pressure on foreign exchange reserves (sufficient to cover about 4.5 months of imports) and the Ugandan shilling. However strong growth prospects should protect the shilling against a major sell-off.
Yoweri Museveni hopes to rule beyond 2021
In power since 1986, President Yoweri Museveni was re-elected following the 2016 general elections, which also gave his party, the National Resistance Movement, an absolute majority. After removing the age limit of 75 years by means of a constitutional amendment upheld by the Constitutional Court in July 2018, the President – who was born in 1944 – will be able to run for a sixth term in the next election in 2021. This amendment, despite being a source of dissatisfaction, should allow Mr Museveni to keep his grip on power. Regularly accused of maintaining its hold by silencing dissenting voices, the President's administration was criticised in the summer of 2018 following the arrests and alleged torture of several prominent opposition figures, including Robert "Bobi Wine" Kyagulanyi, a singer turned politician. After his arrest, Mr Kyagulanyi gained domestic importance and drew the international community's attention to the government's increasingly strong-handed responses to dissent. The lack of political freedom, coupled with dissatisfaction over corruption and slow progress in raising living standards are fuelling social unrest.
The country also faces an unstable political and security situation on its borders (South Sudan, Democratic Republic of the Congo). As the supplier of most of the troops to the AU Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), the country is also a potential target of Islamist terrorism, as demonstrated by the attack in Kampala in 2010, where more than 70 people died. Red tape remains an obstacle for companies and a persistent weakness in the business environment.

RICHMOND, Va. – Less than 24 hours after posting their fourth straight victory, the VCU men's basketball program continued its success, this time it was in the local Richmond community.
Players, coaches and members of the Rams' support staff spent Sunday afternoon spreading some holiday cheer with 25 children from the local Boys & Girls Club as the Second Annual "Shop with the Rams" went down as a big hit.
"During the year, our guys are so focused on school and basketball, so this allows them to step back and really appreciate what we have," Head Coach Shaka Smart said. "A lot of these kids really look up to our guys, so it's great to be able to spend some time with them, especially during the holiday season."
After getting a tour of the Verizon Wireless Arena at the Stuart C. Siegel Center, the children boarded transportation provided by James Limousine and headed to a nearby Target to get into some shopping and good times with the VCU basketball program.
"It's really something we look forward to and really enjoy spending time with these kids," sophomore Rob Brandenberg said. "The whole Richmond community has been an unbelievable support system for our program and we hope this is just a small way we are able to repay them."
Each child was given a $100 gift card and was escorted by players, coaches and staff members throughout the store to find all their holiday needs. After the shopping was completed, the kids dug into a nice meal and spent some time with the players and coaches.
The day was completed when freshmen Briante Weber and Reco McCarter were taken down in a dance contest with two kids from the Boys & Girls Club.

Good ol' Scotty. Kind of the black sheep of the Paterno family. Once referred to as a "morbidly porcine man-child." Also a bit of a wingnut, it seems. I called up JoePa's son today to ask him—not his dad—about some information I'd gotten from a source close to the Paternos. I left Scott a polite message. A few minutes later, he called back. He was angry, gibbering, roaring. He machine-gunned words at me:
I tried to ask what he was saying. But he hung up. About a minute later, he called back. I thought maybe the winner of a six-way Republican primary in Pennsylvania's 17th congressional district had come to his senses. He had not:
I asked him to wait. He hung up again. It took a while to decipher his babble. But I have done so. Wick Sollers is Joe Paterno's new high-octane attorney in D.C.. Dan McGinn is Paterno's new spinmeister. The SEF is the Sustainable Energy Fund, where Scott is some kind of vice chairman and where I'd left Scott a message earlier today. I don't think I bothered them. I'm pretty sure I bothered Scott.

Harrisonburg was the center of the CAA football world as conference heavyweights James Madison and Towson engaged in a sumo wrestling match for three quarters and concluded with 10 minutes of offense.
Quarterback Justin Thorpe's two-minute drill was the difference as JMU bounced the Tigers 13-10 in front of 25,000 at Bridgeforth Stadium.
Towson dice roller Rob Ambrose, who went for it on 4th-and-1 from his own 17 on the go-ahead scoring drive earlier in the fourth quarter, told reporters afterward: "I don't want to slight the previous team we just played, but given the choice between the two, I don't want to play the Dukes again – at least until later."
A bit of gamesmanship and conference respect, to be sure, since Towson had lost at LSU the week before. Given a choice, no one would prefer to play LSU over James Madison.
Told of Ambrose's remark, JMU coach Mickey Matthews responded that he'd like to be paid what Les Miles makes.
Elsewhere around the league, Maine stuffed Delaware in Newark, completing the Blue Hens' two-week face-plant against the norther tier. Richmond took advantage of Villanova's generosity for a road win.
New Hampshire predictably dismantled the Fighting Currys in Atlanta, a game punctuated by a $10,000 cash voucher drop for students at halftime on the floor of the Georgia Dome. Georgia State got the idea for the promotion from football recruiting weekends at Auburn.
Injury-plagued William and Mary was forced to play a pretzel vendor at quarterback and still held off Penn at Franklin Field. The Rhode Island Conference Wafflers again were offensively challenged in a loss to state rival Brown.
In an era of spread offenses and pitching it around, JMU and Towson engaged in some old school, smashmouth, defensive football. Towson had the ball for 11 more minutes and ran 16 more plays, which were offset in part by three turnovers.
Much like a NASCAR Sprint Cup race, most of the drama came in the final 10 minutes. Towson QB Grant Enders led a 92-yard drive, that included the 4th-and-1 from his own 17, that took up nearly 7 1/2 minutes for the go-ahead touchdown. Thorpe then counterpunched, engineering a 79-yard drive and running the last nine yards for the winning TD.
Dean Marlowe's second interception clinched the win in the final seconds. Towson totaled 317 yards, JMU just 256. The two teams combined for just 402 yards of offense in the first 50 minutes, before the back-to-back TD drives.
William and Mary found some offensive traction and made just enough plays in the second half to hold off Penn 34-28. Quarterback Brent Caprio, the Game One starter and the latest call-up on the Tribe QB carousel, was 18-for-28 for 228 yards and two touchdowns, with zero picks.
Tre McBride continued his emergence, with seven catches for 128 yards and a TD. The Tribe defense was better in the first half than the second. Linebacker Jabrel Mines forced and recovered a fumble that led to a short-field TD drive in the first half, then stuffed Penn QB Billy Ragone on 4th-and-goal at the 2 to snuff out a second-half drive.
Cornerback B.W. Webb knocked down a pass in the end zone on the game's final play to preserve the Tribe's second win. W&M has scored 69 points in its last two games, after totaling 58 in its first four.
Richmond was aided by four Villanova turnovers in a 28-17 win on the Main Line. One of 'Nova QB John Robertson's three interceptions was in the red zone late in the first half with the score tied. A second came deep in his own territory in the fourth quarter, leading to a 9-yard Spiders' TD drive and a 28-17 lead.
Spiders' QB John Laub accounted for 312 yards passing and running, and two touchdowns.
Maine bounced Delaware 26-3 as defensive end Michael Cole and the Black Bears' defense treated Hens' QB Trent Hurley like a chew toy, sacking him nine times. Cole registered five sacks, and Maine QB Marcus Wasilewski was 12-for-18 for 176 yards and three scores.
Delaware netted only 47 yards rushing, a misleading stat given that the Hens had 111 yards in losses, due to sacks and assorted botchery. The bigger issue is nagging injuries to top backs Andrew Pierce and David Hayes.
Going back to last week's loss to New Hampshire, in its past seven quarters, Delaware was outscored by UNH and Maine 60-10.
UNH compiled 624 yards and built a 38-7 lead on the way to a 44-21 win against the Currys. Nico Steriti and Jimmy Owens combined for 246 yards rushing, and QB Andy Valais threw for 252 yards and four touchdowns.
Brown topped winless Rhode Island 17-7 at Kingston in front of 3,300 hearty souls who weren't interested in peak fall foliage. Rhody is dead last in FCS in scoring (7.6 ppg) and total offense (208.6 ypg).
Be thankful that the Rams do not face Old Dominion this season. Speaking of which, the Monarchs, the nation's No. 1 scoring and total offense outfit, were held without a point or a yard by the schedule makers. The Monarchs still committed eight penalties for 70 yards.
Bobby Wilder sent video of empty Foreman Field, littered with penalty flags, to CAA officials supervisor Jim Maconaghy, FBI director Robert Mueller, Justice Department head Eric Holder and late-night radio talk show host Art Bell. Wilder still said he doesn't believe there is a conspiracy to get his team.

John McAfee at Def Con: Don't Use Smartphones
LAS VEGAS – John McAfee, a pioneer of antivirus software, made a surprise appearance at a hacker conference here to warn that smartphone apps spy on consumers.
He also mentioned death threats from people in Belize, smoking marijuana while listening to a Bible recording, the age of consent and the popular computer program that, until recently, bore his name.
Such is life through the eyes of McAfee, best known recently for misadventures abroad, including escaping from Belize after his neighbor was found dead. Belize officials called him a person of interest in the 2012 incident. He fled to Guatemala, then faked a heart attack to win deportation to the U.S.

Acquiring, retaining, and motivating talented employees is not the sole job of human resources (HR) departments; rather, it's imperative credit union leaders are involved, too, Randy Kohout told an America's Credit Union Conference Discovery breakout session audience today.
Despite a volatile economy and high unemployment, a Towers Watson 2011 survey found the majority of companies struggle to attract critical-skill employees. At the same time, organizations are squeezing merit increases and expecting longer hours, which have led to 57% of female and 59% of male employees being dissatisfied, with one-third planning to seek other opportunities as the economy improves.
"The good news is that there are tools credit union leaders can use to engage current employees and create an environment that's attractive to potential employees," said Kohout, CUNA Mutual Group's vice president, organizational capability.
To start, credit unions need to understand there's value in integrating their engagement, retention, and acquisition processes, he said. And doing so makes it easier to attract the right talent, retain top performers, and have a better chance of being known as a high-performing credit union.
"The trouble is, many credit unions not only have separate engagement, retention, and acquisition processes, but they treat all generations of employees the same, which is not wise." Kohout said.
Employee demographics are not in credit unions' favor either, he emphasized. Demand soon will exceed supply. More baby boomers are reaching retirement age and younger generations are smaller in size. Plus, immigration won't plug this demographic hole, with many skilled immigrants returning to their country of origin after earning a degree or experience in the U.S.
Kohout outlined the three generations of employees: Gen Y (under age 30), Gen X (ages 30-46), and baby boomers (ages 47-66). Each generation is somewhat unique in what it expects from the employment deal, he said. "You need to be prepared to accommodate different needs.
"As credit union leaders," he added, "we need to rethink the key skills we need to run our credit unions, and differentiate our value proposition based on generational considerations. We need to arm ourselves with being in the business of talent."
Credit unions must look at their talent from three perspectives: engagement and productivity of talent already in the organization, attraction or recruiting of new talent from the market, and the retention of the organization's most talented employees, he said.
From the Towers Watson 2011 survey, we learned what engages employees might also help to retain them, and investing in career development can positively impact attraction, retention, and engagement, Kohout added.
While market-based pay is a plus for attracting employees, he continued, retaining and engaging employees requires more than base pay, and includes bonus or performance pay and other rewards. Also, a company's image includes not only its financial performance but also how it's viewed by its customers, employees, and the community. These varying factors make it necessary for credit unions to develop an integrated approach to managing talent.
"The trouble is, most credit unions view it as HR's job to make these changes," said Kohout. "This mindset must change. As leaders in the credit union business, you must get involved."
Leaders must get involved in their credit unions' talent management process, he explained, by speaking with new hires about why they joined the credit union, conducting an engagement survey to help identify areas of focus, and taking time to talk with key employees on a regular basis to encourage retention.
"The best thing you can do for your credit union is to understand the true talent needs, and then adapt your current talent management processes to fit those needs," said Kohout. "This will take time. Don't expect perfection. Be willing to learn and continually improve."
Kohout reminded attendees that while employees are often the largest expense, they're also a huge asset—particularly in customer-focused businesses, such as credit unions.

text: Once upon a time, a site called The Black Table had a regular feature entitled Waxing Off, in which women gathered in an online roundtable to discuss issues of the day, and also to make fun of Will Leitch's shoes. And so we got to thinking: With so many great female sports bloggers out there, why not import the idea here? It's just crazy enough to work. So behold: The latest edition of Deadspin's Waxing Off. We found seven terrific female writers who were willing to pen short pieces on this week's topic: Road Beef. Alfonso Soriano has his Keri Wieson, and Jose Reyes has his Bentley Matthews. Allegedly. In the old days they called them mistresses, or groupies, or Me So Horny girls. Today, they're known as road beef. What motivates these enterprising ladies, who know that the athletes of their desires are married, with children and various pets? Let's see what our ladies have to say. By the way, if you'd like to be part of the Waxing Off writing staff, email myself at firstname.lastname@example.com, or Mr. Daulerio at firstname.lastname@example.com Gervin: Last year, around this time, I was having a beer in a sports bar when a guy approached me. "You a Sox fan?" he asked. "Um, yeah," I replied. I was wearing a baseball cap with a red "B" on it and had my eyes glued to the screen televising the Sox/Indians game. Not much of a stretch. "I met David Ortiz once." He sat down on the bar stool next to me. "Really?" I love David Ortiz. "I love David Ortiz!" "Yeah, I was at the Pink Pony a few months ago, and Big Papi was at the table right next to me. We totally ended up hanging out. I felt bad for his wife though, because he was totally getting it on with one of the strippers." (An aside to all you male readers — as you do never get a second chance to make a first impression, it's best not to mention hanging out in a strip club five seconds after starting to hit on someone. Unless she's a stripper.) I questioned his veracity, but he assured me his tale was true — Big Papi was a big male slut. And despite the lack of evidence, I've just never quite felt the same about Ortiz. Is it surprising that professional athletes, with tons of money to spend and many a night on the road, go to strip clubs, sleep with prostitutes or have mistresses in multiple cities? No. Nor is it surprising that there are so many young women willing to help them. Tangential fame and real money can act like a drug. (Come to think of it, drugs are probably in the picture too.) Still, I don't get it. Stripping and even prostitution make sense, 'cause you're being paid, but to be a mistress when you never even see the guy? Do you really want to end up like Mindy McCready? But in a world where even John Smoltz leaves his wife after 16 years of marriage, I guess there is no hope. Cross professional athletes off my list of potential mates. Cari Gervin is a freelance writer in the South. She blogs about her misadventures in life, love and sports fandom at unwelcomereturn.blogspot.com. ——— The Head Chick In Charge: Being the side piece can be an exercise of pragmatism. Sometimes it can just mean you're a ho. But, truly, men are oftentimes only good for their Chris Cooley parts. That picture was symbolic. You see, that playbook was likely filled with things I don't care about. Complicated things. Which formation do you run to try to get your man to marry you? What's the best defense against cheating? But that thing between his legs? You don't need the Wonderlic to figure that out. And then you just get it however you can. Sometimes, being the side piece is the simplest play you can call. Sex. Then maybe some socializing. Then, definitely, you go your separate ways. See you next road trip. Groupies do have a reputation for having fun. Who wants to be Karen Hill, when you can be Janice Rossi? Karen is the ball and chain. She has to hide your guns and flush your coke. Too much responsibility. Ugh. The groupie gets to be your trophy. You don't call the girlfriend when it's time to wipe your kids' snotty noses and visit your bitchy mother. You call the side piece when it's time to got to Vegas! Which scenario sounds more fun? Yeah, call me when it's time to pop champagne. True, true, Janice got her ass beat in the end. Its not painless messing with somebody else's man — physically or emotionally. It will likely end badly. It will definitely end. All you can hope for is a little bit of fun. Don't knock it. You would do it if you could. If Erin Andrews would tolerate you as her piece of dick in Gainesville, you would wait by the phone. When she called — if she called — you'd do what ever she wanted. She'd make you brush her hair. Then she'd kiss you on your forehead and leave you alone in that $89/night room at the Hampton Inn to carry on with her life. You wouldn't feel quite right, but you would be there for her again next season. You'd settle for being road beef too. The Head Chick in Charge blogs at www.leavethemanalone.com ————- The Steez: If you don't understand "road beef" then you have obviously never seen "Showgirls." I'm not saying girls who sleep with married athletes on road trips are like former prostitutes/drug addicts who move to Vegas to strip in order pursue their dreams of becoming a *real* dancer by sleeping their way to the top or pushing obstacles down the stairs. But if they were, could you blame them? I see this girl (because I've certainly never thrown myself at professional and/or college athlete) as a girl who spends her day working a boring jobs out of a cubicle in an office based in a strip mall (But hey! Free parking!). In a typical hour, she spends 10 minutes in the bathroom, 10 minutes in the break room, 10 minutes outside on a smoke break, 10 minutes checking personal email, 10 minutes reading Deadspin (yeah right), and 10 minutes of actual working. She gets five dollar footlongs for lunch. As the day winds down, she calls her girlfriends because, "sister, I need a drank!" They go to a new upscale martini bar off of exit 143 because the Chilis at exit 120 will be "full of skanks tonight." Realizing she's only got her work clothes to wear, so she makes a quick stop at Town City Mall for a $24 three-piece outfit from Forever 21. She arrives at the bar, orders a cosmo and a chef salad, and lets the memories of the day melt away. After four hours and 12 cosmos, in walks professional sports hero, looking all fine and dapper. She thinks she's innocently flirting, but really she's innocently rubbing up on him. He may have said he was married, but all she heard was "my wife's a bitch, let's get out of here." They go back to the hotel, do a little horizontal tango. He said it was just a one-night thing but she heard, "baby you mean so much to me." She drives herself home and thinks, "Finally! My way out!" And when he doesn't call (because he didn't take her number), the cycle repeats itself. It's sad. I feel bad for her. Or she's just a whore. The Steezinator is a Texas Longhorn fan living in Washington D.C. who knows that no matter what time it is, OU STILL SUCKS. ————- Meghan: When I first got this topic I was baffled. Why would a woman sleep with an attractive, in shape, rich, famous man even though he's married? Really? Really? Contrary to popular belief, women don't approach every sexual encounter with the question, "Do I want a serious relationship or do I want to marry this guy?" Sometimes we just want to have fun and let a hot guy say nice things to us. I'm not condoning getting it on with a married man. But as long as you don't break girl code, I won't hold it against you. Girl code is all about girl friends. You don't swoop in and steal a guy your friend's interested in without permission. You don't hook up with your girlfriend's boyfriend or exes. And if you know your friend's boyfriend's cheating, you tell her. You stand by your girlfriends especially when they are wrong. Sure, if you see a girl crying in the bathroom at a bar it's good form to say "It'll be okay, he's not worth crying over." But other than that, it's not about solidarity with women, it's about your friends. So when a non-friend's taken guy hits on you he's fair game. If he's willing to cheat, he's probably going to do it. If not with you, then with someone else. Sure, it's a bitchy thing to do, but he's sleazy, so whatever. Taken guys have made moves on me before. My responses ranged from politely declined, insulted, hung up on, or tried to reason with them. When I've appealed to their relationship their responses tend to be "I don't care" or "but, really I'm interested in you." Yes, sleazy. Sure, sometimes these women are looking for a meal ticket, and sometimes they're hooking up to increase their celebrity. And sometimes the canoodling's about feeling special and having something hard to get. Sometimes the fornicating's just for bragging rights. Shocker, women brag to their friends. Sometimes, it's about fulfilling a fantasy or wanting to feel close to something you love; baseball, football, music, whatever. And sometimes it's just about sex. Meghan does not condone cheating. And when not hanging out with a friend who thinks that Pacman Jones should use the pick-up line "Want to be Ms. Pacman tonight?" she blogs about sports at http://girlsdontknowsport.blogspot.com ————- Ace: My dad is going to kill me for this, but… Hell yes I'd sleep with Chase Utley if he gave me the chance. I'd document that shit, put it on Facebook and make my profile as public as possible. And while everybody else would be discussing how a nice little Catholic girl could be capable of such blasphemy, I'd be in box seats watching the Phils beat the Red Sox in Game 7 of the World Series. Yes, I know marriage is sacred. Someday I'll probably even make an attempt at it. When you really love a team though, it becomes difficult to resist the urge to jump the second baseman. That being said, these road beef girls are of a different breed entirely. They're not baseball fans. They're fans of sleeping with people's hot husbands. The motivation is simple: attention. They could just as easily bang some married guy in a bar, but it's more badass to ruin the marriage of an athlete. By sleeping with a married man, you have the attention of not only the man, but also possibly his wife. More bang for your buck, pun definitely intended. And let's not forget the one major perk to being the other woman… you can get whatever the hell you want, that is, everything but a wedding ring. Gifts, dinners, and of course, baseball tickets. (Though I'm still not convinced any of these women are interested in the latter.) So the moral? It's only okay if you doing it for the love of the game. Otherwise, you're a whore. Call me, Chase. Ace is a journalism student in Boston with a severe inferiority complex that she suspects only an Eagles Superbowl could cure. ————- Denise Karl: You're asking WHY a woman would fool around with a professional athlete knowing that athlete is married or dating or socially un-available for one reason or another. That's a silly question with a few simple answers. First off, the pro athlete is generally in far better shape than any husband/boyfriend/significant other/friend with benefits. Every scar is a history lesson, every broken bone bump a lasting memory. So don't think for a minute that she's looking at him with visions of white picket fences in her eyes. She looks at him from across the room thinking "You're hot, you're famous, and there are a million women who want you. If you pick me tonight, that makes me better than them." Yep, same as men — bragging rights. And she will brag. "You'll never guess who I was with last night!!" And the show & tell portion of the evening begins, in every graphic detail. We are women. We pay attention to LITTLE details. It's only after the inevitable angry text message exchanges start that a girl will wonder how much money she can make off those "private" photos in her phone that she's already showed off to all her friends like a trophy. If she's not interested in the money (and they're usually not because if they were they'd be 'professionals' themselves), then sure, let's just post them on MySpace for the world (and I mean WORLD) to see. Never piss off a woman with a Blackberry and a MySpace page. You ask why do some women seem to go from one athlete to another until they run through a lineup and have to start on another sport. Most of the time, it's not their fault. While the women may be talking about details, men don't seem to verbalize well. Instead, they fork over phone numbers and just say "Here. Check her out." A woman would never hand over a phone number to a friend. That would just increase the competition. Women like to share gossip, not men. Pro players like to share everything. I guess it's that "team" mentality of theirs. Dee Karl, NY Islanders 7th Woman, www.7thwoman.blogspot.com. ————- Lisa Horne: Groupies. Never understood that mentality, never will. Some chicks are just losers, and like the second-helpings. Do they get a thrill at taking another woman's man? Probably. Insecurity at keeping a man is why they probably do it. If the married man ends up just a one-night stand, she can excuse it by saying, "he's married." Maybe I'm just a little old school. I like greeting my man at the door with a cold beer, a long soulful kiss, and a home-cooked meal sitting on the stove; not one of those bags of ready-meals you throw in the crock pot. Hell no. It's fresh-cut meat form the butcher, slowly simmering in a pot of potatoes and onions, and fresh bread (OK...breadmaker made, but still damn fresh and it took four hours to make!) After he gets comfortable (boxer shorts and old faded jersey), I inform him what football, basketball and baseball (dammit Angels!) games are on, what channel they are on, and pre-program the hi-def wide screen so the games automatically come up. My sweet, hot, hard-working hubby, doesn't have to lift a finger. He has done enough for one day. I never say "no" to him- heck, I like getting my bell rung too. And he wakes up with a smile on his face every morning. Groupies? Ha! If these women married to athletes would take care of their man the way he deserves, they wouldn't be looking for an easy lay-up. My husband gets an easy lay-up by me, and only me; special ordered and custom-fitted, like a Burger King Whopper. Yeah, have it your way, baby. It's my way, too.

Researchers tout cheaper technique to 65nm
Keywords:lithography 3D multiphoton? cheaper 65nm node?
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and spin-off company Focal Point Microsystems, now claim to have devised a cheaper, easier way to pattern at the 65nm node. Called 3D multiphoton lithography, the technique still lacks the throughput needed by chipmakers today. But within a few years, the researchers hope their process can be scaled down to lower nodes faster and more cheaply than the exponentially increasing cost of scaling down traditional lithography techniques.
"With our technique, we can use polymers to define features on silicon in a manner similar to traditional approaches, but our method provides a much lower-cost way of making such nanoscale patterns," said Georgia Tech professor Joseph Perry.
The key ingredient to 3D multiphoton lithography, according to Perry, who is also a co-founder and vice president at Focal Point Microsystems, is a process called two-photon absorption. By coating wafers with a special polymer called DAPB (di-n-butylaminobiphenyl), a laser can solidify very fine features, since the polymer only becomes insoluble at the precise focal point of the laser.
"The laser cross-links the polymer, which is a process of making bonds between polymer chains that leads to the formation of a highly interconnected network of polymer," said Perry. "This process renders the cross-linked material insoluble."
After etching off the remaining polymer, nanoscale 3D structures remain on the surface, acting as a mask for patterning wafers. Besides fabricating specialized silicon chips, Focal Point Microsystems also plans to use the technique for applications like microstructuring optical surfaces.
While the technique is promising, it won't replace silicon chip fabrication techniques anytime soon, primarily because it is too slow. Focal Point Microsystems is working to speed up the process, which is a throughput issue rather than a material problem, the company claims.
"We already have efficient materials that should allow for fabrication at high speeds," said Perry. "Our biggest technical hurdle now is instrumentation: We need faster instruments to increase the throughput of the fabrication process."

Instead of using expensive electron beams or extreme ultraviolet lithographic equipment, a simple 520nm laser beam is used to directly write on wafers coated with the DAPB. Since two-photon absorption drops off rapidly with distance from the laser's focal point, only molecules precisely centered on the focal point receive enough light to become insoluble. The trick is that the laser's focal point is much smaller than its wavelength, enabling 65nm features to be patterned with the relatively cheap laser.
DAPB is about ten times more efficient at two-photon absorption than commercial UV photoactive materials, enabling the researchers to fabricate the 65nm, 3D patterns.
The technique currently takes about 10 minutes to create a 20-by-20?m pattern with 30 layers at 65nm resolution. Only test patterns have been fabricated so far, but the researchers plan to fabricate a compact microspectrometer for telecommunications or sensor applications. They will eventually attempt to fabricate 45nm features.
The research was funded by the Office of Naval Research, APEX Consortium and the National Science Foundation.
Two-photon absorption is also being investigated by Japanese researchers. Previous published results there have only achieved 100nm features.

Animal Facts
Scientific Name
Gymnothorax mordax
Animal Type
small reef fish, octopuses, shrimps, crabs, lobsters, and sea urchins
to 5 feet (1.5 m) in length
conger eels, garden eels; Class: Actinopterygii; Order: Anguilliformes; Family: Muraenidae
Point Conception to southern Baja
Natural History
California moray eels are long slim snakelike fish. They sport bodies light to dark brown or green color. Unlike most fishes moray eels have no pelvic fins, pectoral fins, or gill covers. Most fish breathe by closing and opening their gill covers to force water over their gills. Without gill covers moray eels must constantly open and close their mouths to breathe, so they appear to be gasping for breath.
Moray eels, during the day, sit in crevices with only their heads protruding. At night they prowl across the reef looking for octopuses and small fishes. These unusual fish don't have scales. A yellowish mucus covering the eel's skin protects it from being abraded by the rough surfaces.
Moray eels do not seem to be threatened but since they are shallow water fish, pollution and habitat degradation can affect them.
Cool Facts
After California moray eels spawn, the eggs hatch into larvae that may drift in the currents for up to 12 months before settling to the bottom and taking the adult form. Juveniles live in tidal pools and adults live in deeper water. Moray eels live for about 30 years.
It is thought that the California morays off southern California do not reproduce—possibly because the water is too cold. Eels living here hatch off Baja California and drift north as larvae.
Fishes that live in open environments can quickly open their mouths wide when prey approaches, creating a negative pressure that helps suck the prey in. This doesn't work for moray eels. They live in small spaces where they can't open their mouths wide enough to create negative pressure. Instead, they have an extra set of jaws in their throat. When the front jaws bites into prey, the back jaws spring forward and drag the prey into the eel's throat.
Eels have sharp teeth covered with bacteria. A bite can be painful or might become infected. Even though eels don't bite unless disturbed or frightened, it's best not put ones hands in crevices in eel territory.

Mo hardware: Selig to honor Rivera before Game 2
Retired saves king set to receive Commissioner's Historic Achievement Award
BOSTON -- Mariano Rivera, who was known as much for his exemplary citizenship as the fact that he retired at the end of this season as baseball's all-time saves leader, will be honored Thursday night before Game 2 of the World Series (7:30 p.m. ET on FOX, 8:07 first pitch) when he's presented with the Commissioner's Historic Achievement Award.
This is the first time that the award, which was created to recognize contributions of historical significance in Major League Baseball, has been given out since Ken Griffey Jr. received it in 2011.
Rivera spent his entire career in a Yankees uniform. During his final season, he received an extraordinary outpouring of support from teammates and opponents alike.

New layout: GridVariants.SplitGrid
A new xmonad layout has been committed to the xmonad-contrib repository, courtesy Norbert Zeh. Here's how he describes it:
After using GridVariants.TallGrid for a while, I got fed up with the fact that the meaning of columns and rows get exchanged when TallGrid is rotated using Mirror (as well as with other small nuisances).
The attached patch contains a new layout, GridVariants.SplitGrid, which allows the orientation of the split between the master and the slave grid to be specified as a parameter, thus doing away with the need to use Mirror or Reflect with this layout.
What SplitGrid and TallGrid do should be achievable using the standard Grid layout plus a layout combinator. However, the automatic assignment of clients to the master/slave grids would require more plumbing in xmonad.hs, which is why I opted for writing this as a separate layout.

It's a beautiful world, you only have to look at photos like this to see it.
Now some will argue that there is no way this could have all happened by chance; it's a setup. The creationists - a lot of them under the banner of religion. They are all however believers in a designer; be it God, or gods, or aliens that seeded life on our planet a long time ago.
Then there are the evolutionists. It all happened by chance, through natural selection, survival of the fittest. Order from chaos. Now it seems, looking at the world around me, that chaos and disorder go hand in hand with entropy: everything would rather - given the chance - reduce to the simplest form or the lowest state.
So if we are to believe the evolutionists, then we are to believe that through some unguided, random, long-term process, these very basic atoms we consist of have arranged themselves into quite an amazingly complex variety of things indeed.
Perhaps then the universe itself is their designer; the fundamental laws of physics have created everything from a master plan - an unseen blueprint. Dunno. It sure is a beautiful world though.

text: The French painter Claude Lorrain (born Claude Gellée and often referred to simply as Claude) became the leading landscape painter in Italy during his lifetime. He began his career in Rome, where he trained under Agostino Tassi, who contributed to his interest in perspective. Known for his poetic use of light, Claude painted elegantly composed landscapes in the glow of dawn or early evening, layering semi-transparent oil paint onto his canvas. One of his favourite compositions, which he pioneered, was the idealized harbour scene, flanked by palaces and classical ruins and with luminous light effects reflected on the water's surface. In 1635 he began the Book of Truth, documenting sales and patrons so as to safeguard against the forgery of his work; containing 200 etchings of Claude's paintings, the book became an important work of art in its own right.
