Congenital adrenal hyperplasia refers to a group of inherited disorders of the adrenal gland.
Adrenogenital syndrome; 21-hydroxylase deficiency
People have 2 adrenal glands, one located on top of each of their kidneys. These glands make hormones, cortisol and aldosterone, that are essential for life. People with congenital adrenal hyperplasia lack an enzyme the adrenal gland needs to make the hormones.
At the same time, the body produces more androgen, a type of male sex hormone. This causes male characteristics to appear early (or inappropriately).
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia can affect both boys and girls. About 1 in 10,000 to 18,000 children are born with congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
Symptoms will vary, depending on the type of congenital adrenal hyperplasia someone has and their age when the disorder is diagnosed.
In children with the more severe form of the disorder, symptoms often develop within 2 or 3 weeks after birth.
Girls with the milder form will usually have normal female reproductive organs (ovaries, uterus, and fallopian tubes). They may also have the following changes:
Boys with the milder form often appear normal at birth. However, they may appear to enter puberty early. Symptoms may include:
Both boys and girls will be tall as children but much shorter than normal as adults.
Your child's doctor will order certain tests. Common blood tests include:
X-ray of the left hand and wrist may show that the child's bones appear to be those of someone older than their actual age.
Genetic tests can help diagnose or confirm the disorder, but the are rarely needed.
The goal of treatment is to return hormone levels to normal, or near normal. This is done by taking a form of cortisol, most often hydrocortisone, three times per day. People may need additional doses of medicine during times of stress, such as severe illness or surgery.
The health care provider will determine the genetic sex of the baby with abnormal genitalia by checking the chromosomes (karyotyping). Girls with male-looking genitals may have surgery during infancy to correct the abnormal appearance.
Steroids used to treat congenital adrenal hyperplasia do not usually cause side effects, such as obesity or weak bones, because the doses replace what the child cannot make. It is important for parents to report signs of infection and stress to your child's health care provider because the child may need more medication. Steroids cannot be stopped suddenly because doing so may lead to adrenal insufficiency.
People with this disorder must take medication their entire life. They usually have good health. However, they may be shorter than normal adults, even with treatment.
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia does not usually affect fertility.
Parents with a family history of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (of any type) or a child who has the condition should consider genetic counseling.
Prenatal diagnosis is available for some forms of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Diagnosis is made in the first trimester by chorionic villus sampling. Diagnosis in the second trimester is made by measuring hormones such as 17-hydroxyprogesterone in the amniotic fluid.
A newborn screening test is available for the most common form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. It can be done on heelstick blood (as part of the routine screenings done on newborns). This test is currently performed in most states.

Lets Melt The Wage Freeze
aotearoa / pacific islands | workplace struggles | news report Saturday November 28, 2009 14:02 by AWSM - Aotearoa Workers Solidarity Movement info at awsm dot org dot nz
On Friday November 27th, thousands of workers took part in rallies and marches in 27 cities and towns across the country, demanding that the Governments wage freeze for state sector employees was lifted. The protests focused on the struggles of hospital and school support staff, and employees at the Ministry of Justice, but many people from other sectors supported the demand and turned out to show their solidarity. Many of the attendees were on strike for the duration of the rallies.

Behind the spectacle of The Hobbit 11:52 Thu 30 Sep 0 comments
One of the most popular products exported from New Zealand has been the atmospheric Lord of the Rings films. They invoke images of a far off land called Middle Earth complete with massive mountains, panoramic landscapes, and furry wee Hobbits fighting the evil Dark Lord. The next film based in the same fantasy world, The Hobbit, is to be shot in NZ next year. NZ Actors Equity, the union for actors in NZ, has called upon international actors unions to black the film production. The International Federation of Actors have agreed, and so unions like the Canadian Actors Equity, US Actors Equity, the Screen Actors Guild, UK Actors Equity, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, the Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance (MEAA, Australia) and the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio have boycotted the film.

Who's Flexibility? Oct 08 0 comments
The General Election in New Zealand/Aotearoa took place at the end of September and so its all over and done with. More accurately, the ritual of deciding who will politically rule over us has ended. The election of our bosses in the workplace never happened. The end result in both cases is the same. We are faced with a ruling class that feels emboldened to attack workers when it senses opportunities to do so. The latest piece of ammunition the government is preparing to lob our way comes in the form of a bland sounding piece of legislation, the Employment Relations Amendment Bill. This law was delayed prior to the election, due to the resignation of the now ex-MP criminal John Banks, but will be enacted within the next 100 days. What is the bill about?

Pretty interesting debate between two Christians.
Pretty interesting debate between two Christians.
I'm not sure I'd classify Hovind as a Christian. At least a very good one. His logic is also very flawed. He basically refutes all of Ross's arguments by saying Ross doesn't know what he's talking about. Hovind doesn't understand some basic science principles.
I just looked at his wiki page and he's currently serving prison time for tax related charges.
"Turns out, far too much has been written about great men and not nearly enough about morons. Doesn't seem right."
I have actually met Ross and got a chance to visit with him for a while; he came to my university and debated my Evolutionary Biology professor. I loved the forum they used because it was more just the two of them sitting down and chatting with one another. I think there are far more formidable opponents out there than Hovind that he could have debated though…
Not a fan of this forum structure but Lisle is pretty solid…

Hugh Ross is a compromised Christian. All that means is he has strayed from the biblical creation as written in Genesis and attempted to blend it with evolutionary theory. Ken Ham would be a much better opponent for Mr. Ross.
Players come and go, but I will always be a Miami Dolphins Fan first and foremost.
http://csharp.com/starlight.htmlYoung earth creationists are a subset of evangelical Christians who believe that the earth is about 6000 years old based on a particular interpretation of Genesis. A part of that belief is that the universe is also that age, and this document discusses the light travel time from distant astronomical objects. I show through scientific, theological and epistemological arguments that a 6000 year old universe is in complete error with the objective evidence, and undermines both Christianity and science education.
Light travels at the velocity of 300,000 kilometers per second or 186,000 miles per second. Although this is very fast by everyday standards, it is glacially slow when considering the vast distances in the universe. The Achilles Heal of young earth creationism is a satisfactory explanation of why we can see light from distant stars, galaxies and quasars if the universe is only about 6000 years old. Denying the great age of the earth and the universe in spite of the overwhelming evidence, is exactly the same as both the Catholic and early Protestant churches denying heliocentricism. In both cases a misapplication of the dogma Sola Scriptura and Hebrews 11:1 is used. At least Martin Luther and the Pope had the excuses that modern science was only just starting, and the evidence for heliocentricism was not overwhelming at the time. Young earth creationists do not have such excuses today, and in fact a belief that the whole universe is only about 6000 years old, or 10,000 years old at the most, is largely a modern post-war revival in the USA strongly influenced by some writings of the Seventh Day Adventist Church in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Young earth creationists claim that the earth is only about 6000 years old, and most of them also claim that the universe is the same age, or perhaps four days younger. The issue being considered here is the light travel time and other evidence for the great age of the universe, rather than specifically the age of the earth, which follows from other arguments. For the record, the age of the earth and the universe are about 4.5 and 13.7 billion years respectively. These figures are so enormously different from the "biblical" age of 6000 years that any uncertainties either by scientists or creationists are irrelevant to the argument. Some creationists will even stretch the timescale out to 20,000 years, but this still falls so short of the scientific figures as not to alter the argument.
Most young earth creationists use arguments typically found in Answers in Genesis (http://www.answersingenesis.org) that the Bible is God's infallible word, Who was there at creation, against man's materialistic speculations who was not there. The Bible is thus absolutely true, and anything that contradicts it, regardless of the evidence, is wrong by definition. By implication it is thus a sin to question the Bible and use your own understanding. These are of course very similar to the arguments used by the church against Copernicus and Galileo.
In reality creationists misunderstand the Bible, whose eternal truths deals with meaning and purpose and not science, other than it was written within the context of the very limited science of the day, nor do they understand the operation of modern science, whose task is neither to prove nor disprove the Bible, but to understand the physical evidence. It is not the business of science to pass teleological opinions, though some scientists do, such as the atheistic evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins of Oxford University, but when they do, they are stepping outside science into philosophy.
Creationists give the impression that the argument about the age of the universe is Christianity, which is absolutely true by definition, against supposedly atheistic science, which is absolutely false by definition. They also misrepresent Christianity by implying that they are the only true and "good" Christians. However, when they make a claim about the age of the universe, that is a scientifically testable claim. Many scientists are Christians or Jews, and agree with the creationists that God created the universe. The issue is not who created the universe or why, but when and how.
Main Discussion
We can summarize as follows ten arguments made by creationists to explain the distant starlight problem:
1) Astronomers are completely wrong about the distances, and all apparently distant objects are within a bubble of 6000 light years or less centered on the solar system.
2) The distances are real, but light takes short cuts through space according to an article by Moon and Spencer published in 1953.
3) The velocity of light was much higher in the past, by factors of millions or more, and slowed down to the present value.
4) A variation of (3) is that somehow between leaving the distant star and arriving at the earth, the starlight speeded up, perhaps to an infinite velocity, then slowed down again on reaching the earth.
5) The distances are real and the light has traveled at a constant velocity, but the earth was at or close to the center of a white hole, which caused such an enormous distortion of space-time, that billions of years in the external universe elapsed during the creation week on the earth.
6) God created the light in transit from distant stars to give the universe the appearance of age.
7) All astronomers, except for a handful of creationist astronomers, are somehow deceived by Satan, or their brains are so completely polluted by sin that they cannot see the "truth".
8) A variation of (7) but all astronomers are engaged in a world wide conspiracy to cover up the "truth".
9) Astronomers are making some sort of assumptions, which are often a combination of several of the above arguments.
10) Epistemological nihilism – because we do not know everything about the universe, and we probably never well, what we do know is completely useless, so we know nothing at all.
What I find in dealing with creationists is that they make one or several of these claims, imply that I am not a proper Christian, if one at all, because I do not agree with them, then express disinterest when I bring up one or more counter arguments. Either they are interested or they are not. They cannot express interest, then become disinterest when confronted with refuting evidence. The above ten arguments are now discussed in detail.
Distances in the universe are truly enormous. Our Milky Way is about 100,000 light years in diameter, and we lie about 27,000 light years from the center. The nearest large external galaxy is M31 in Andromeda about 2.5 million light years away, yet it is right on our doorstep, as we can see galaxies and quasars (exceptionally luminous nuclei of galaxies) out to billions of light years away.
Currently we can only use direct trigonometric parallax out to a few thousand light years, but the technology is constantly improving. Although various indirect methods have to be used for larger distances, when several independent methods broadly agree, we can sure that we have approximately the correct distance. However, the determined distances to even the nearest galaxies are so enormous compared to the "biblical" 6000 light years, that even big errors of a factor of two, or even ten, do not alter the argument. Most creationists in fact agree that the distances are real, so this argument does not usually crop up.
In 1953 Moon and Spencer1 published an article claiming that the geometry of space was so warped that light from all distant astronomical objects reached the earth in about 15 years. This paper was speculative at the time, but has totally been refuted since then. There is absolutely no evidence that space is so curved that light somehow takes short cuts, and other predictions by the theory are totally contradicted by the evidence.
In the 1980s Barry Setterfield of http://www.setterfield.org came up with the idea that at the time of creation about 6000 years ago, the velocity of light was infinite or at least millions of times faster than it is now, then slowed down and conveniently stabilized at the current value at about the same time it could accurately be measured in the 1960s and 70s. His argument was that if the velocity of light was much higher in the past, it could get to us from distant objects millions or billions of light years away in less than 6000 years. Here a light year refers to the time it takes light to travel if it is traveling at the modern velocity.
There are a number of serious problems with this argument, the three most important are:
When we look at a distant star we see it as it was when the light left it, regardless of how long the light took to reach us. A number of stars and other objects behave as very accurate clocks, due to pulsation, rotation or orbital revolution. If the velocity of light was much higher in the past, then we would consistently find that such "clocks" would appear to be ticking much slower at greater distances than in our neighborhood, as one would get a slow motion effect. This is not the case, unless you go to distances of billions of light years, where is this is observed, but due to the expansion of the universe. In fact as the light with time left the "clocks" would be slowing down, we would consistently see such clocks speeding up. This is not observed.
The above argument uses only classical physics, but the velocity of light is not just some value that is independent of other physics, it affects practically all of physics. Einstein's famous E=mc2 formula states that the energy released in a nuclear reaction is proportional to the mass being converted to energy times the square of the velocity of light. No exceptions to this formula have been found, and it is so well established to be considered as absolutely true. If the velocity of light changed by even a tiny amount, the energy released in nuclear reactions would change by the square of that. Stars rely on nuclear reactions to generate energy and there is no evidence that the velocity of light has changed here.
The velocity of light is also involved in quantum physics, which has also been established to a very high level of confidence. If the velocity of light were to change, the spectral lines emitted or absorbed by atoms and molecules in the atmospheres of stars would change in a way that would be easy to calculate. This is not observed. Indeed, the lines of the hydrogen atom can be calculated from first principles, and depend on a few constants, including the velocity of light.
As stated earlier, this is really a variation of the previous item. Creationists wave their arms and say that perhaps light left the star in question as normal, speeded up enormously due to some unknown and unobserved process, then slowed down on reaching the earth. The obvious question is why does this only happen with light going to the earth, and not to other destinations in the universe? When we look at distant galaxies we also see nearby stars that happen to be in generally the same line of sight, and often superimposed on the background galaxy. If the light from the distant galaxy somehow speeded up on the way here, how is it that stars in the same direction appear to be shining normally based on the arguments in (3).
This is Russell Humphreys' argument from his book Starlight and Time2. In it he proposes a relativistic white hole cosmology currently favored by creationists, which also claims that the Milky Way is near the center of the universe and has an edge. He claims that the universe was created about 6000 years ago as a ball of water a few light years in diameter with the earth at or near the center. This turned into a white hole (the reverse of a black hole), and whilst processes in the rest of the universe took billions of years to unfold, because the earth is close to the event horizon, time stood nearly still here whilst the creation week took place. Indeed, because of strong gravitational forces this could be possible if there were such a thing as a white hole, some other serious errors were not present, and there was some evidence.
There are a number of serious problems with it as follows:
Whereas black holes are well established, there is no evidence whatsoever of white holes, moreover they contradict the second law of thermodynamics, which creationists love to quote.
I challenged in person and in public Russell Humphreys at a creationist conference in 2004, pointing out that if there was a huge gravitational field centered on the Solar System 6000 years ago that was strong enough to cause the effects he claims, the effects of this field would still be visible today in the motion of the stars around the center of our galaxy. We can measure the motions of nearby stars around the center of our galaxy, many moving in nearly circular orbits like our sun, and they are influenced by the general gravitational field of our galaxy, but there is zero evidence of any strong gravitational field 6000 years ago from the white hole in the vicinity of the earth. He was unable to answer my criticisms. This does not in itself mean that he is wrong and I am right, but it does mean he is unable to back up his theory in the light of empirical evidence.
Hugh Ross of Reasons to Believe Ministries has looked at the theory and found many serious errors in Humphreys' work, as documented in http://www.reasons.org/resources/apo...avelling.shtml. When the errors in relativity are corrected, the standard Big Bang model of the universe is in fact obtained.
However, in spite of these arguments, errors are still propagated in the creationist movement. See for example the extract from van Bebber and Taylor: New scientific theories exist which explain the size of the universe in agreement with the biblical timescale3. "One example is the young-earth relativistic cosmology formulated by physicist Dr. Russell Humphreys based on Einstein's general theory of relativity. We are told that this alternative to the 'Big Bang' has been well-received by scientists trained in relativity." The text in red is manifestly false.
The claim that God created the universe with an appearance of age with light already in transit to the earth from distant stars cannot technically be proved or disproved, so it is not scientific. However, it has some serious theological problems. Although God being omnipotent could conjure up a giant hoax to fool us all, including creating light from stars that appear to have exploded, but in fact never existed, and superimposed the signature of the absorption due to gas and dust on the starlight in the space between the distant stars and us to make it look as if the light really passed through the intervening space, when in fact the beams were created 6000 light years away. This is a god of deception, and contradicts Romans 1:20. If God is a god of truth, then the creation should reflect this in some way. Why would God lie?
In a number of cases we can see light from very distant quasars and galaxies affected by gravitational bending after passing an intervening galaxy, exactly as predicted by general relativity. This proves beyond all reasonable doubt that the light really passed the intervening galaxy, and the laws of physics, including the velocity of light, have not changed.
In agreement with this we have this extract from Jonathan Safarti: "What about Distant Starlight? Fallacious Distant Starlight Solution: 'Light Created in Transit' After presenting an alternative cosmology that provides a plausible solution to the 'distant starlight' problem, it is worth showing why another idea is unsound. Some older creationist works propose that God may have created the light in transit, and Ross harps on at this as if it is still mainstream creationist thinking (for example C&T:96-97). But AiG long ago pointed out the problems with this idea. It would entail that we would be seeing light from heavenly bodies that don't really exist; and even light that seems to indicate precise sequences of events predicable by the laws of physics, but which never actually happened. This, in effect, suggests that God is a deceiver."4 The text in red indicates emphasis.
However, Duane Gish writes this: "How, then, could the stars serve as signs and seasons on the earth if these stars were created on the fourth day of creation and man created on the sixth day? Would man have to wait many millions of years before he could see the stars? When God created the stars, He also could easily have created the stream of light between the stars and the earth."5 The text in red contradicts the text from Jonathan Safarti. Even though creationists claim they have the truth, they contradict each other as well as science.
The idea that somehow Satan is deceiving all astronomers, is similar to the argument in the 19th century when dinosaur fossils were first being dug up, namely that either Satan is deceiving all paleontologists by having planted the fossils, or God is somehow testing faith. Like the previous argument, this is a theological not a scientific argument, so cannot technically be proved or disproved.
However, the idea that all astronomers of many faiths, including Christians, and no faiths, are all deceived, except for a few creation astronomers who interpret the Bible in a particular way is totally preposterous. People have claimed that to me in person. Not only is that a personal insult, they have provided not a shred of evidence, except quoting the Bible.
Another popular idea which is equally preposterous, is that all astronomers around the world are engaged in some massive conspiracy to cover up the "truth" that the universe is only 6000 years old. No motivation is ever given as to why astronomers of different faiths, or none at all, living in different countries and cultures would conspire together, and again there is no evidence.
Unable to use a satisfactory argument, many creationists make vague claims that astronomers are making some sort of assumptions about what they observe. When pinned down to state what these assumptions are, they are unable to give any, other than vaguely stating parts of one or more of the arguments above. When challenged to provide their own alternative explanation, they either give none, or they say the Bible says so, or God did it, or they do not need to because they know the truth.
A final cop-out many creationists give when all other arguments fail is epistemological nihilism. Namely, because we do not know everything about the universe, what knowledge we do have is completely useless, and perhaps in 100 years in the future what we know now may be completely wrong. Indeed much of our knowledge may need major revisions in a 100 years, but that cannot be used as an argument against what we know now. Moreover, some areas of knowledge are so well established, such as the velocity of light, that they are unlikely to change.
It is true that we are seriously lacking in some areas of knowledge. Amongst the biggest unsolved problems are the nature of dark matter in the universe, and the nature of the mysterious vacuum energy causing the universe to expand at an accelerating rate. It is likely that these will eventually be solved, but they do not affect our knowledge of the velocity of light in any way that affects the arguments here. If epistemological nihilism were practiced in everyday life, most people would not drive a car, as most people do not know the details of the chemical reactions taking place in the car's cylinders. But such details are not necessary to know in order to drive to a store and buy the groceries.
Not only can we see light from very distant galaxies, right at the limits of our observations with the Hubble Space Telescope, we are looking so far back in time that we can see galaxies that were forming when the universe was very young, and look quite different from galaxies we see nearby. There is no doubt that the light really has traveled enormous distances over larges expanses of time.

The Alpha Centauri system probably consists of three stars. Alpha Centauri is part of a double, or triple, star system. The two main components are Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B. The third star, a red dwarf called Proxima Centauri, is thought to be about 4.22 light-years distant and is actually our sun's closest neighbor among the stars. Is it part of the Alpha Centauri system? The actual status of Proxima as a system member is unclear. It might simply be passing nearby but not part of the system, or it might be gravitationally bound. Still, we say – and others say – that Alpha Centauri is the closest star to our solar system, with the assumption that Proxima is a true part of the Alpha Centauri system.
If you looked through a small telescope at the Alpha Centauri system, you'd see the two main stars, but you wouldn't see Proxima Centauri. It's too faint and appears too far (4 diameters of the full moon) away to be easily recognized at part of the system.
Taken by itself, Alpha Centauri A is the fourth-brightest star seen from Earth, just slightly outshone by Arcturus. However, the combined light of Alpha Centauri A and B is slightly greater than Arcturus, so in that sense it is the third-brightest. These stars are an average of 4.3 light-years away.
Yellow Alpha Centauri A is the same stellar type as the Sun (G2), although a bit larger. It looks bright in our sky because of its nearness to Earth. Just a few degrees away, the star Hadar (a separate star sometimes called Beta Centauri, not to be confused with Alpha Centauri B) appears dimmer in our sky than Alpha Centauri. But in fact, Hadar is much farther away at 525 light-years.
So you see that Alpha Centauri is not a fabulously brilliant star, as stars go.
Alpha Centauri's surface temperature is a few degrees Kelvin less than our sun (that is, about 5770 k), but its greater diameter (about 25% more than the sun) and the overall larger surface area gives it a luminosity nearly 1.6 times that of our star.
The smaller member of the system – orangish Alpha Centauri B – is slightly smaller than our sun, with a spectral type of K2. With lower temperature (about 5,300 K) and only half the luminosity of the sun, B would shine as the 21st brightest star in all the heavens by itself.
These two brighter components of the system orbit a common center of gravity once every 80 years. The orbit is notably elliptical, with average distance between the two stars of about 11 A.U., with one A.U. being one Earth-sun distance.
Proxima is the closest star to Earth. Faint red Proxima Centauri – at only 3,100 K and 500 times less bright than our sun – is nearly a fifth of a light year from Alpha Centauri A and B. This great distance is what calls into question its status as part of a triple star system.
Proxima Centauri is a pipsqueak of a star. It's red dwarf star with only about an eighth of the mass of the sun. If Proxima replace the sun in our solar system, it would shine only as brightly as 45 full moons.
Proxima is a flare star subject to sudden changes in brightness. But its flares are really feeble. On a brighter star, they might not have been noticed.
Proxima's orbit around the two primary stars in the Alpha Centauri system is thought to take as long as half a billion years.
It's the closest star to our Earth and sun, about a trillion kilometers closer than the other two star in the Alpha Centauri system. Hence its name.
How to see Alpha Centauri. Unluckily for us in the Northern Hemisphere, Alpha Centauri is located very far to the south on the sky's dome. Most North Americans never see it. The cut-off latitude is about 29 degrees north, and anyone north of that is out of luck. In the U.S. the line passes near Houston and Orlando, but even from the Florida Keys, the star never rises more than a few degrees above the southern horizon. Things are a little better in Hawaii and Puerto Rico, where it can get 10 or 11 degrees high.
Northern Hemisphere dwellers might glimpse Alpha Centauri at roughly 1 a.m. (local Daylight savings time) in early May. That is when the star system would be highest above the southern horizon. By early July, the system reaches its highest point to the south at nightfall.
Meanwhile, in Australia and much of the southern hemisphere, Alpha Centauri is circumpolar, meaning that it never sets. Also called Rigel Kentaurus or Rigel Kent, this neighboring star is probably the most famous star that almost no one in the northern hemisphere has ever seen.
For northern observers, there really are no good pointer stars to Alpha Centauri. When the bright star Arcturus is high overhead, Alpha Centauri might low in your southern sky, assuming you are south of 29 degrees N. latitude.
Observers in the tropical and subtropical regions of the Northern Hemisphere can find Alpha Centauri by first identifying the distinctive Southern Cross. A short line drawn through the crossbar (Delta and Beta Crucis) eastward first comes to Hadar (Beta Centauri), then Alpha Centauri.
History and mythology of Alpha Centauri. The Alpha Centauri system appears to the eye as a single bright star, the brightest star in the southern constellation Centaurus the Centaur. Two alternative names for this star, Toliman and Bungula, are rarely used any more. The derivations are somewhat questionable, but Toliman may be from the Arabic for ostriches and Bungula apparently derives from Latin meaning hoof.
Thousands of years ago, a motion of Earth called precession – which causes the identity of the Pole Star to change over time – caused Alpha Centauri to appear higher in the sky as seen from the Northern Hemisphere than it does now. But it was still far to the south and often difficult to see.
Classical myth-makers didn't spend much time with this constellation, although it was thought to represent an uncharacteristically wise centaur that figured in the mythology of Heracles and Jason. The centaur was accidentally wounded by Heracles, and placed into the sky after death by Zeus.
Alpha Centauri itself marked the right front hoof of the Centaur, although little is known of its mythological significance, if any. Ancient Egyptians revered it, and may have built temples aligned to its rising point. In southern China it was part of a star group known as the South Gate.
Astronomers determined the distance to the Alpha Centauri system for the first time in 1839, only a few months after they made the first-ever distance determination to a star (61 Cygni).
Bottom line: The Alpha Centauri system is the closest star system to our sun. On our sky's dome, we see this multiple system as a single star – the third-brightest star visible from Earth. Charts, photos and info about this fascinating star system.
Alpha Centauri's position is RA: 14h 39m 41s, dec: -60° 50′ 07″

Near-perfect weather will greet the start of SEC baseball play this weekend, with Ole Miss and Mississippi State ranking among the nation's elite.
Ole Miss (18-1), ranked No. 6 nationally by Baseball America, visits No. 15 Arkansas (11-5) to open the first weekend of league play. No. 13 Mississippi State (17-2), ranked as high as No. 3 before two recent losses, is home against No. 7 LSU (15-1.)
First pitch for both is set for 6:30 p.m. today. According to Weather.com, there's a zero percent chance of rain in Starkville this weekend with highs in the mid 70s. In Fayetteville, Ark., it will be cooler – 65 on Saturday – and there's a 40 percent chance of rain Sunday.
The Rebels have won 11 in a row since a Feb. 26 loss to Memphis. They're third in the league in batting average (.310) and fifth in earned run average (2.21). Stuart Turner leads the SEC with a .492 average and 28 RBIs.
Mike Bianco is in his 13th season as Ole Miss coach and recently became the school's career victory leader.
Mississippi State leads the SEC in batting average (.324) and is second in ERA (1.84) but comes into the weekend having lost two of its last three.
John Cohen is in his fifth season in Starkville, heaving led the Bulldogs to a NCAA Super Regional appearance in 2011 and the SEC tourney title last season.
Other series: No. 2 Vanderbilt at Auburn, No. 5 South Carolina at Missouri, No. 10 Kentucky at Florida, Georgia at Texas A&M and Tennessee at Alabama.
The SEC is aiming for its fourth national title in five years. MSU made its last College World Series trip in 2007; Ole Miss made its last trip to Omaha in 1972.

Tupelo Police made an arrest Saturday night after a stabbing earlier in the day at the Crosstown Kroger parking lot, Tupelo Police Maj. Jackie Clayton said.
A woman was cut in the throat area by another female after an alleged altercation around noon Saturday. It appears this was not a random incident and the two individuals knew each other, but that and other parts of the case are still under investigation.
The victim was taken to North Mississippi Medical Center and her injuries are believed to be non-life-threatening.
After the incident the female suspect left the scene in a white cargo van with another individual. The female suspect was taken into custody late Saturday night.
Clayton said more information about the arrest and case would be released Monday.

The Way I See It!
I am an Ultra-Conservative, Alpha-Male, True Authentic Leader, Type "C" Personality, who is very active in my community; whether it is donating time, clothes or money for Project Concern or going to Common Council meetings and voicing my opinions. As a blogger, I intend to provide a different viewpoint "The way I see it!" on various world, national and local issues with a few helpful tips & tidbits sprinkled in.
A Reader's Thoughts on the Cudahy DPW
This was in my inbox,
I wanted to just say that once again I am impressed with the efficiency and ability of the DPW in doing the Fall Cleanup as well as the weekly leaf sweeping. Having lived in many other states, I can say that this is the one instance where the crew takes their jobs seriously. I won't pretend to understand what is going on with the internal workings of the office, from what I hear.
However, the people on the street seem to take care in what they are doing.
One thing I don't understand is in the newsletter it stated to not pile up leafs above the curb, but I've seen a DPW truck push piles together before the vacuum comes. Is there a disconnect in what the actual workers want and what the officials are writing? I'll be happy to pile up leaves in a pile if that's what they want.
Meanwhile, I wish the Cudahy dump was still available to drop items off with no additional charge, other than what we already pay in taxes for City services. The bi-annual pick-up of yard waste is helpful (obviously very few people know what a "curb line" is), but there are definitely times when I need to drop off other items . If they had days when they would pick up larger items like other cities that would work.
I wonder if the Cudahy transfer station is seeing a savings at all from the change to an additional fee service (again, which is above the taxes we already pay for City Services). Since the US is so enthralled with amnesty, how about a trash dumping amnesty day.

Setting up a 100g stocking questions!
So right now I have a 2 inch electric blue jack dempsey and a 2 inch oscar. I kind of want to breed the dempsey so I was planning on buying 5 2-3 inch normal colored jack dempseys to grow up together in the tank and then hopefully pair off with the electric blue. It is a 48x25x18 (not exact) tank with live plants. Water changes are preformed weekly. Temp = 26 C , Ammonia = 0, nitrates = 0, nitrites = 0, Ph = 6.5 (Was already cycled from discus tank). Will this stock work ?? Should I remove the oscar? Will the normal jd's kill the electric? I am new to the predator cichlids but have kept discus alive and healthy.
I could be wrong but I don't think 100g is room for an Oscar and a breeding pair of JDs. Even with just the Oscar and the JD I would say if would be hit-and-miss as it's only a 4-foot tank.
I think everything you want to have will be fine at first but once the normal JDs and oscar outgrow your electric he's going to be bullied. In my experience they are just so much more timid than normal JDs and slower growing though I never tried to breed them together I would personally ditch the oscar first off or if you want him and a mating pair section the tank off. Raising them together I would expect the normal JDs to pair up first and bully the others not to mention the oscar.
Have you considered raising the JDs until you can tell the sex then section off the electric and a mate? is your sole goal to breed your electric with a normal JD here? You certainly can't keep 4 extra JDs and an oscar in a 100g long term. I've kept both varients of JDs and I don't think your electric is going to be able to breed for a much longer time than normal JDs. Give this very informative article on breeding blues a read you may get no blue offspring at all. http://www.tfhmagazine.com/details/a...ck-dempsey.htm
My male jack dempsey was extremely aggressive after he reached about 5-6 inches or so later on I could only have 1 other large pike cichlid in the 75g with him because he would bully even large convicts to near death. I could only imagine if he formed a mating pair what would of happened.
One last note to diffuse aggression you could pick up some dither fish I prefer silver dollars but there are quite a few to pick from a lot of people like danios.
Last edited by FishGuy67; 04-17-2013 at 10:23 PM.Long time fish keeper most experience with CA/SA cichlids, natives like sunfish, and aggressive catfish.
Currently have a 29g planted with 14 candy cane tetras, 6 sterbai corys, 6 melini corys, a rescued Siamese fighting fish and 1 mustache wearing albino longfin pleco.

WELL... in my opinion, Resident Evil: Code Veronica X is probably the second best Resident Evil game there is (don't know about 3 or 5, haven't played them. Then again, nobody has played 5 yet. ;) )
Controls are the same as it was in 1, 2, and probably 3 as well... tank-like movement. I always hated this, but there isn't a whole lot I can do about it. Anyway, it's pretty much the same basics as the previous Resident Evils, except graphics are superior to its predecessors, it's longer, and doesn't have stupid dialogue that 1 and 2 had.
This game is pretty hard. Zombies can be faster, there are, of course, new enemies that nobody would have ever seen in the previous ones, and healing items don't seem to show up when you need them. The knife can actually be pretty useful in this game, depending on how you use it... it's perfect for knocking zombies back down the stairs or cutting zombies to bits while they are on the ground. Plus the knife is about all you need for the Cerberuses (if you don't believe me, just shoot one with the handgun and knife it while it's down or smack it when it jumps you.) There is a greater variation of zombies in this one instead of having three or four different appearances for them, there are now quite a bit. Puzzles are pretty much the same and aren't too hard to figure out. The music, in my opinion, is the best and is definitely superior to all of the other Resident Evil games.
The story is great. It has a habit of pulling surprises out of nowhere and then you're like "Well... I didn't expect that to happen..." Especially when you see Wesker once again, since he was thought to be dead in 1... but he's back and he is a nightmare to be reckoned with. His goal is to kill Chris Redfield and in the middle of the game when you do have to play with Chris, you will see Wesker quite a bit.
Words fail me while trying to describe it. This is an awesome game!

Have been offline here for almost ten years. Lot's of things changed - Advogato stayed alive. Amazing.
Have been offline here for almost ten years. Lot's of things changed - Advogato stayed alive. Amazing.
Still blogging on http://circle.ch/blog/. There are some updates I did, to have the blog and the wiki working interactively.
Well, just recently I rebuilt my homepage on circle.ch [1] and moved a blogging system called b2 onto it. I am quite happy with it.
[1] http://circle.ch
Having had a speech about PHP-GTK at the International PHP Conference in Frankfurt [1] last October, I have had less time to work with PHP-GTK past few month. Since Alan Knowles [2] is now working on a GUI frontent for handling PEAR packages, I got the kick again.
Having written a script [3] yeasterday, that upgrades PHP, PHP-GTK and specific PEAR packages I will try out the new PEAR GUI installer as soon as possible on Windows.
[1] http://php-conference.de/2001/session-
[2] http://docs.akbkhome.com/Frontend/
[3] http://circle.ch/php/#php4win32upgrade
I made myself more clever about diffs of files today. PHP will probably help me to handle the problems to solve. I am heading for an "agent" to get the difference of file- contents. Providing content on the Internet is one thing. But I think providing the links to these contents and giving information on updates is another. To me the latter is more interesting. So, I hope to tell more about this later on.
What a happy day! I just got access to advogato to share some of my thoughts with you. Already for a pretty while, I have been following advogato-articles and others personal diaries and always got some new ideas, on what is going on on this planet; technically, sophistically etc. etc. It is good to be here.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
If you're a C programmer with some spare time, take a look at the mod_virgule project page and help us with one of the tasks on the ToDo list!

Reviews for Beef & Vegetable Soup
"This is good soup. Not terribly exciting but good flavor and hearty. I added fresh corn and used my own homemade beef stock. Will make again for sure"
"The beer taste was too strong."
"I used an Orange Blossom Cream Ale because that was what we had in the fridge. I also added a cup of frozen peas and a cup of frozen corn. Coarsely chopped the onion, carrots and celery in the food processor and added oregano. It had a very sweet flavor to the broth. I also used ground turkey. This is a keeper. Serve with yeast rolls to soak up the broth and it's devine!"
"This recipe was very tasty and my husband is not allowed tomato or tomato products so this was great."
"I'd suggest looking for a different beef & vegetable soup recipe. There are so many out there... and I was disappointed with this one. I thought it would be great, and the beer seemed like a great ingredient. However, the broth was not satisfying, all four people in our family disliked this dish."

1. Mixing beer with cider.
It's called a snakebite, and it will get you dancing on tables in no time.
2. Taking four weeks' paid vacation
That's twice as many days off, which explains why the Brits are half as likely to have public meltdowns on the subway.
3. Incorporating Yorkshire pudding in our dinners.
They're little savory dough cups to fill with gravy and food before shoving into your mouth-hole. We've been eating dinner wrong this whole time.
4. Cursing on TV after 9 p.m.
Shoot, these mamajamas know what's up.
5. Eating biscuits (cookies) with coffee or tea.
Like custard creams, which are like the blonde cousin of the Oreo but twice as delicious.
6. Celebrating bank holidays
Even more days off!
7. Embracing "wet cakes," like trifle.
Cakes are great but that flour stuff really gets in the way of the gooey deliciousness.
8. Legally drinking at 18.
Old enough to go to war but not old enough to drink a beer? There's something wrong with that.
9. Watching Peep Show.
We've adopted so much British television already, the self-deprecating dry comedy Peep Show is an obvious next step.
10. The ability to buy alcohol at any hour of the night.
Twenty-four hour newsagent = twenty-four hour beers. In some parts of our great nation you can't get a beer after 9 p.m. Nine! P.M.!
11. Seeing boobs in the news.
Well, we could probably leave the page three girls to The Sun, but the U.S. could use a more relaxed attitude toward nudity in the media.
12. Lax open-container laws.
Imagine a world where you can chug a beer on the subway, sip a cider on the street, or knock back a bottle of merlot in the park. That magical kingdom exists, you guys. The United Kingdom.
13. Greggs
Pastries, sandwiches, bread, salads, soups, bread, pastas, desserts, bread, and bread. Sometimes they're open 24 hours.
14. Using a coin system that makes sense.
The only coin in U.S. currency inscribed with a numerical amount is the nickel, and it literally says the words "five cents." How unhelpful is that to the illiterate or tourists? Or illiterate tourists!
15. Castles
The Disney castles do not count.
16. Donkey rides on the beach.
Why the eff not?
17. Eating fries with curry sauce.
For those who require more of a kick than ketchup.
18. Cheese rolling
Which is where grown humans throw their bodies down a steep hill to capture a wheel of cheese. Whoever wins gets £1000 (but most importantly, free cheese).
19. Offering the full English breakfast as a menu option.
Because one meat at breakfast isn't enough of meats.
20. Speaking with dat accent.
Every human being* loves a British accent.
21. Throwing parades that don't suck.
Like the Caribbean Carnivals, which are more like a giant street party and less like people marching somberly down the road.
22. Signs that notify you when the next train is coming.
Or a more efficient rail system in general.
23. Accepting a range of ideologies.
There's good old Charles Darwin on the 10-pound note. That shit would never fly in America.
24. Shopping at markets.
We need more markets.
25. Writing the date in a way that makes logical sense.
We're blowing it, you guys.
26. Embracing the comedy of Monty Python.
This should be mandatory viewing for all U.S. citizens.
27. Free museums that are actually free.
Not suggested-donation-of-$29-and-I'll-give-you-a-look-if-you-decline-to-donate free. Actually free.
28. Offering affordable tuition fees (or FREE tuition, like in Scotland).
In buildings that look like this!

AMORY, MS — Itawamba Community College head baseball coach Rick Collier announced the signing of Tanner Poole and Destin Hahn of Amory High School on Wednesday.
"These guys are big signees for our program next season," said Collier. "Tanner is one of the top outfielders in the area and that's going to be a key spot we are looking to fill for next season and Destin is a good two-way player with the ability to be live arm on the mound and giving you a solid glove at third."
Poole, a pitcher and center fielder batted .306 with a .425 on-base percentage and 12 RBI, 21 runs, 7 doubles, and a home run while stealing 14 bases as a junior. On the mound, he had a 0.96 ERA with 70 strike outs for a 6-2 record with a save in 12 appearances.
"It feels great knowing I'll be an Indian next season," said Poole. "They have a great program and coaches. I look forward to doing what I can to help them keep winning."
Poole earned All-Division and Division MVP honors while being starters on the Panthers' 2010 North State Championship and 2011 North State Runner-Up teams.
Hahn, a pitcher and third baseman, batted .291 with a .431 on-base percentage and 9 RBI, 3 doubles and 1 triple in his first season with the Panthers after transferring from New Hope High School. On the mound, he had a 2.50 ERA with 67 strike outs for a 4-3 record in 9 appearances.
"It feels great because playing college baseball is something I've always dreamt about growing up and now to have this moment come true is unreal," Hahn commented. "ICC has always had great baseball teams and I've always wanted to be a part of their program."
Hahn earned All-Division honors and was named Defensive Player of the year.
"Both these guys are leaders on and off their field with our team," said Amory head coach Chad Williams, who was a member of 1993 State Championship team at ICC. "We are looking for big things out both guys this season and expect them to have outstanding careers at ICC."

Riverland Rock n Ride
25/01/2013 , 1:02 PM by Narelle Graham
You may have noticed a hive of activitiy on the riverfront at Berri on the Thursday the 24th of January. It was a free event called Rock n Ride where some big names in the entertainment industry stopped by to put on a concert as they travel from the Gold Coast to Adelaide. Rock and Ride aims to raise awareness of Headspace, the National Youth Mental Health Foundation. Among the performers was Phil Jamieson from Grinspoon who told ABC Open Producer Daniel Schmidt about putting mental health information in context for kids. If you'd like to find out more about headspace or you know someone who might benefit from the service headspace.org.au/riverland.

Borsch named interim dean of religious life
Posted January 4, 2007; 04:35 p.m.
Frederick Borsch, dean of religious life and the chapel at Princeton
University from 1981 to 1988, will return to that role on an interim
basis, effective Feb. 1.
Borsch, a member of Princeton's class of 1957, will serve while a search is conducted for a permanent successor to Thomas Breidenthal, who has resigned effective Jan. 31 to become bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio. Breidenthal had been dean since 2002.
"The role of the dean of religious life and the chapel is a central one at Princeton. As its website notes, the Office of Religious Life embodies the University's care and support for the many religious communities that flourish on our campus," said Janet Dickerson, vice president for campus life, who is leading the search. "The dean provides leadership for more than 20 denominational and nondenominational chaplaincies and student religious organizations, and is responsible for providing moral and spiritual leadership within the context of our secular University environment."
She said she hopes to conclude the search by the end of the spring semester.
Borsch, the retired bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles, currently is professor of New Testament and chair of Anglican studies at the Lutheran Theological Seminar at Philadelphia.
After receiving his bachelor's degree in English from Princeton, he earned a second bachelor's degree in theology from Oxford University. He studied at the General Theological Seminary of the Episcopal Church in New York City and earned a Ph.D. from the University of Birmingham in England.
Borsch taught at Seabury-Western Seminary in Evanston, Ill., and at the General Theological Seminary, then served as dean, president and professor of New Testament literature at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley, Calif. After his time as dean at Princeton, he was bishop in Los Angeles for 14 years. Following his retirement, he was interim dean of the Berkeley Divinity School at Yale University and associate dean of the Yale Divinity School for a year.
Borsch served as a Princeton trustee from 1998 to 2002 and his son Benjamin is a member of Princeton's class of 1984. He is the author or editor of 18 books and has contributed essays, articles and poetry to a number of journals and newspapers.

Second step...
Starting from the begining, my involvement with Debian started on Debconf4 in Porto Alegre, in which I helped joining the local team. During the organization even my major enemies on computing being two "guys" called Layout and Gimp (I'm quite bad in graphics), I helped with the t-shirts layout (I hope you're using to things other than sleep :-P), badges layout, banners (with that big empty space to write stuff on, which resulted in a wonderful memory from the event to spectra), renting machines to hacklab, etc..Also, some attendees started to come to Porto Alegre a bit early, and they staid on my mother's house: Joey Hess, Micah Anderson, Mako, Micah, Gleydson, Michelle, Enrico, Wojtek, and others. For some days my mother's house was a very funny hacklab. This made me see Debian as an operation system in which real people are working. After those days, Debconf was ready and started, and I had to concentrate helping on make FISL happen too, so I was unable to attend the conference. But at least, Debconf4 made me become interested in contributing to Debian.
First step was when I finally began packaging something to Debian one month ago, and now thanks to the translators and my packaging job, I have my Mozilla Firefox working in Brazilian Portuguese and the Sarge users too. I also have another package called gnome-doc-utils waiting to enter Sid. Now, I'm working to migrate an application (the best memory I have from the time in which I used RedHat) called Printer Configuration Tool, already ported to Debian in a very old version, but today it's a much better application to configure printers, since it works with any printer manager and the users don't need to care about it (most users don't know about printer daemon existance). It's being fun to hack on this, since RedHat/Fedora and Debian have some differences and porting this application could be a good way for me (a RedHat user in the past) learn more about Debian. I already had to work on three different packages and discovered a licensing problem with some RedHat python modules used by the application, but I'm progressing ;). I contacted some RedHat developers to take care about the licensing problem, and some DDs to talk about some suggestions to facilitate the porting work. In some days I'll be doing three more ITPs.
The second step is my first posts on Planet Debian. I need to confess I was a bit discouraged to do that, since it's a place where the Debian contributors and developers usually posts about their jobs, and there are not many female hackergotchis around here. But on other hand, maybe other female Debian contributors would see me here and encourage themselves to make Planet Debian less male-dominated than it is today.
Finally, the brazilian debian community is in party today, with the acceptance of stratus on the Debian Developers team. Congratulations stratus! You are our 13th DD, and I hope to see this number increasing more and more.

The Beirut Central District (BCD) is the name given to Beirut's historical and geographical core, the "vibrant financial, commercial, and administrative hub of the country." It is situated on the city's northern coast and includes many monuments and places of importance to the citizens of Beirut, including Martyrs' Square. Beirut Central District is sometimes called Solidere, after the company of the same name founded by Rafik Hariri that has undertaken reconstruction of the neighborhood after the Lebanese Civil War.

Me too! Also curious.
think you could throw together a top 32, thatd tie me over... I'm more curious how you rate the top 32 players, although, I am interested in your miami targets.
Absolutely. I tried to point that out all season. Not even 12 full games because he didn't start the first two. That's in 10 starts.
Cornelius Washington's 29 QB pressures over the past 2 seasons would probably be second on the list.
The underrated statistics would've made a great thread on it's own.
I think for most people, they see the number and gloss over it. They don't care how many tackles a DE gets or even understand how many tackles is normal. If the source I'm checking is correct, Carradine had more solo tackles than Werner had total tackles and almost twice as many total tackles as Werner. And before that sounds like a knock on Werner, Werner had more tackles than Mingo, Montgomery, or Lemonier and just two less than Jordan. The only other top DE's with over 60 are Okafor and Ansah.
I like Washington a lot. In the VIP mock, I drafted Carradine to the Bucs and 13 and then drafted Washington at 112; don't know he was there at 112, but **** happens.
That's a great idea for a thread, btw.
I am curious with the scout work you do, how it translates to a big board. I think slimm did a top 200 or so how his board stacked up. For me it's nice to see where people see what I see, and where I don't see what others see... and than I can go back and see what I'm missing. that's the reasoning behind my asking.

Analysts love Las Vegas Sands (LVS). Investors are not so sure.
The global gaming giant reported earnings today that were, on first glance, disappointing. Bloomberg reports:
Excluding items, profit of 65 cents a share missed analysts' projections of 68 cents, the average of 22 estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Net income soared to $529.8 million, or 64 cents a share, from $240.6 million, or 29 cents, the Las Vegas-based company said today in a statement…
…Second-quarter revenue increased 26 percent to $3.24 billion from $2.58 billion a year earlier, the company said. Analysts were forecasting $3.3 billion.
Analysts, however, were quick to write-off the miss. Here's RBC's John Kempf explaining how bad luck impacted the numbers:
Property EBITDA came in at $1.107B, which was slightly below our estimate of $1.169B. However, when adjusted for normalized hold, property EBITDA of $1.171B would have been right in line with our estimate. EPS was $0.65 compared with consensus of $0.68, while hold-adjusted EPS was $0.72. The Macau properties were essentially in line with our recently increased EBITDA estimates ($655.0MM vs. $651.3MM). However, the impact of low win percentages resulted in lower than expected results at Marina Bay Sands ($355.3MM vs. our estimate of $390.5MM) and Las Vegas ($63.0MM vs. $96.4MM).
Nomura's Harry Curtis, meanwhile, touts the company's plan to return cash to shareholders:
Given the strong cash flow generation (3.2bn in 2013e) and strong balance sheet (1.7x Net Debt to EBITDA), mgmt noted its plan to further return value to shareholders through increased dividends (and/or special dividend) and share repurchases (following the implementation of a share repurchase program).
JPMorgan's Joseph Greff and team even played down the impact of China's slowing economy:

$3 fee for Obamacare program cost this business $100 to file the form! This was because the form is so complex they had to pay their accountant to review it.This employer is offering something extra to their employees, and they pay a tax to do so, it would appear.This so-called "Patient-Centered Outcomes Trust Fund Fee" is imposed on health insurance plans and employer-funded Health Reimbursement Arrangements.If the Patient-Centered Outcomes Trust Fund is to exist at all, taxes on health insurers and big health plans might well be a good way to fund it. But a form that costs $100 to fill out so that the government can collect $3 in revenue is simply pointless by any standard. Furthermore, since few people seem to know about the rule (final guidance just came out) one imagines a great many small businesses are probably going to be in breach come July 31st.
There's both a Regulatory Flexibility Act and a Small Business Administration Office of Advocacyspecifically intended to prevent the government from imposing requirements this stupid. Right now, they seem to be asleep at the switch.

Dr. John Cox of the Hope College English faculty is one of three Shakespeare scholars interviewed in a National Public Radio program prepared in celebration of William Shakespeare's birthday.
Cox, who is the DuMez Professor of English at Hope and internationally recognized as a scholar of Shakespeare, is interviewed for about 10 minutes during the half-hour program "Shakespeare's Bible," which is geared toward a general audience. Broadcast times around the country will vary, but the program can be heard via the audio stream of WBGO radio in the New York area via www.wgbo.org on Wednesday, April 21, at 7:30 p.m. (Shakespeare's birthday is April 23).
Cox, who is a 1967 Hope graduate, has been a member of the Hope faculty since 1979. His primary scholarly interests are Renaissance drama and the works of William Shakespeare.
He is the author of the books "Seeming Knowledge: Shakespeare and Skeptical Faith" (Baylor University Press, 2007); "The Devil and the Sacred in Early English Drama, 1350-1642" (Cambridge University Press, 2000); and "Shakespeare and the Dramaturgy of Power" (Princeton University Press, 1989). He also co-edited two other books: the Third Arden Shakespeare Edition of "Henry VI, Part 3" (Thomson Learning, 2001) and "A New History of Early English Drama" (Columbia University Press, 1997). In addition, he has written many scholarly articles and book reviews on Renaissance drama and contemporary writers.
The high quality of his scholarship has been recognized in a variety of ways. "A New History of Early English Drama" was named Book of the Year by the Association for Theatre in Higher Education, and "The Devil and the Sacred in Early English Drama, 1350-1642" was a finalist for the David Bevington Prize. Among other external acknowledgements, he has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) for both 1985-86 and 2004-05; a Pew Charitable Trusts Fellowship for 1995-96; and an NEH Summer Stipend for 1993.

I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
What R2 is this? The only R2 shown in the panel was a new CW version and this isn't it. It also doesn't appear to be the upcoming one from the BaD2 line (look at the painted on wires on the feet, while the one shown at SDCC had the more modern sculpted wires, and the rockets on the legs).
And how about this Savage? Are they planning to rerelease the armored version? Again, the only Savage pictured in the original panel pics is the one in the battle pack which as we know, is not being packed with his lightsaber.
How about this Jango Fett? I assume this is a repack for the Movie Heroes or BaD2 but haven't we complained enough about the purple color? I'd buy this figure in blue, but won't look twice at another purple Jango.
The R2-D2 is the current Movie Heroes version, which I guess must be getting repacked. The Clone Wars version is based on the R7-A7 mold (with an all-new sculpt and removable parts), which I didn't realize at first.
Hopefully they're re-releasing armored Savage in The Clone Wars, and a blue/gray Jango repaint in Movie Heroes. If Jango comes out in MH, he'll probably have a big backpack or rocket launcher or something. But they didn't go over repacks in TCW or MH at all, so I'm not sure.
