- MOD Corsham
Now known by the name MOD Corsham and formerly JSU Corsham (Joint Service Unit) and RAF Rudloe Manor. A large military site which sits directly above the MOD's underground tunnel complex. During the Second World War the underground site made up part of a massive ammunitions depot and the world's largest underground factory. Later these tunnels became a government's emergency relocation site and various communication bunkers were also set up here.

State Department to Increase Guards at High-Risk Posts
The State Department will hire more security guards and use more Marines to safeguard high-risk posts around the world in an effort to prevent assaults on U.S. diplomats following the deadly attack in Libya, a department official said.
Responding to a review panel's findings of "systemic failures" and "grossly inadequate" security for the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, the department plans to hire 150 more diplomatic security personnel, a 5 percent increase, Thomas Nides, deputy secretary of state for management and resources, told lawmakers today. The Pentagon has approved dispatching an additional 225 Marine Corps guards, he said.
"We will target them squarely at our high-threat posts," Nides said at a hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where he and another top department official said security deficiencies contributed to the attack in Benghazi. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns described as "unacceptable" the lapses that came before the deaths of U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three other Americans on Sept. 11.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had been scheduled to testify at the hearing. She canceled after fainting and suffering a concussion, the State Department said in a statement Dec. 15.
She has agreed to appear next month, Senator John Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat and the committee's chairman, said as the panel began its work today. Later, in a hearing held by the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, a Florida Republican, said Clinton also will testify before her panel in January.
Rethinking Reliance
The U.S. relies on host countries to provide the bulk of the security at embassies and consulates, as most nations do. Nides said the department has begun rethinking that practice.
"In today's evolving threat environment, we have to take a new and harder look at the capabilities and commitment of our hosts," he said. "We have to re-examine how we operate in places facing emerging threats, where national security forces are fragmented and political will may be weak."
The independent review board appointed by Clinton to examine the Libya attack found that U.S. reliance on a poorly skilled Libyan militia and unarmed locally contracted guards for security support "was misplaced," according to the unclassified version of the board's report.
Clinton's Pledge
The report outlined recommendations to bolster security at embassies worldwide, and the State Department this week released a letter Clinton sent to lawmakers pledging to implement "every one" of them.
Clinton wasn't aware that officials in Libya had requested additional security before the attack, Burns said at both the House and Senate hearings today. Such requests were handled at the level of assistant secretary, he said.
Kerry endorsed a call by the review board to spend about $2.3 billion annually for 10 years to upgrade security.
"There's no question in my mind we need more resources in significant ways," said Kerry, who is under consideration by President Barack Obama to be nominated as Clinton's successor.
Senator Bob Corker, a Tennessee Republican, questioned why congressional appropriators didn't receive a request to transfer funds to bolster diplomatic security in Libya even as cables from there cited increasing risks.
Department's Culture
He also questioned a pledge by Nides to ensure that all of the review board's recommendations are at least "under way" before Clinton's successor is in place early next year, and that all will be implemented as soon as possible. There have been 18 State Department review boards in the past, Corker said, and in no case has every recommendation taken hold.
"The culture in the State Department is one that needs to be transformed," he said.
A potential partisan split over added funding for diplomatic security surfaced in the House committee hearing.
Representative Howard Berman of California, the panel's top Democrat, said Congress bears much of the blame for insufficient diplomatic security because lawmakers have cut the State Department's security funding.
That has "created a culture at the State Department that is more preoccupied with saving money than with achieving its security goals," which may explain the department's rejection of requests for improved security in Benghazi, said Berman, who is leaving Congress after losing his re-election bid.
"Requests for more money are a familiar refrain," Ros- Lehtinen said. She said the State Department has spent funds on favored projects, such as global warming, instead of security.
"Budgetary constraints were not a factor in the department's failure to recognize the threats and adequately respond to the situation in Benghazi," Ros-Lehtinen said. "The problem was and is about misplaced priorities."

So we don't often have the opportunity to run floaters and full bodies at the same time where I hunt normally its either or, however after scouting today I found a spot on my land where the water is so low there were several clumps of grass birds were sitting on as well as feeding in the water.
Just curious if anyone had any tips in particular to mixing full bodies and floaters or any pictures of your mixed spreads? Right now i'm planning on doing my best to mimic how the birds were sitting on the small islands

I just added ECS Tuning 12.5 spacers to the rear of my F10. They are on sale for $84.96 with the extended lug nuts. I have never used spacers before and I am not an expert or even knowledgeable, but these things look great. I installed them and like the look. It brings the wheel out far enough to look correct. That said, I believe that this mod is only for those that set up a lawn chair and admire the car.... like me. I am guessing I will be one of the few that will be able to pick out the difference. The only suggestion for ECS is they should include black lug nuts instead of silver ones. I installed the silver ones and they stood out and not in a good way. It was not a major deal as I painted all ten of them with some black spray paint I had on hand.

Would you like to speak with an attorney about getting out of debt? Call our firm at 888.636.3759 to schedule your free consultation.
"As soon as you file a bankruptcy petition, an automatic stay goes into effect. Creditors can no longer contact you about pre-petition debt. Foreclosures stop. Wage garnishments stop.

Our law firm has been helping individuals and companies obtain debt relief for more than 70 years. With help from our firm, you can face your debt issues and start anew. Discuss with a knowledgeable bankruptcy lawyer the types of bankruptcy available to you:
- Chapter 7 bankruptcy: A trustee is appointed to determine whether a debtor has enough assets to sell and distributes any proceeds to creditors. When businesses file under Chapter 7, they generally go out of business.
- Chapter 11 bankruptcy: This is debt reorganization for businesses. The business can remain in control of its finances and under operation.
- Chapter 13 bankruptcy: Generally thought of as "wage earner bankruptcy," this chapter selection allows people who earn an income to reorganize debt payment into a three to five year repayment plan.
Bankruptcy Is Not the End of the World
While we may be able to recommend credit counseling and find ways to avoid filing a bankruptcy petition, we do believe bankruptcy is the best option for many. Let Johnston, Moore & Thompson help you put an end to creditor harassment, stop home foreclosure, keep your vehicle and refinance when possible with financial institutions.

So I'm up too late after eating too much dark chocolate before bedtime and can't sleep, which leads me to surf the internet, which leads me to this:
...particularly the last line
Accidental penis shooting accidents were also reported in Florida, Arizona and Washington in 2012, the Independent revealed.
Which lead me to Google "Accidental penis shooting accidents",
Which made me think that men who don't use holsters and shoot off their own penises probably don't deserve one anyway, as Darwin would prefer that they do not reproduce.
Don't shoot off your own penis - use a holster.
And don't eat too much dark chocolate before bedtime, then you don't have to read about "Accidental penis shooting accidents".
This has been your public service announcement for the evening.

The Stratford Festival's box office is open to the public, and tickets are being offered at up to 25 per cent off until January 31, with an opportunity to exchange dates with no added expense.

This season, the first under artistic director Antoni Cimolino, features 12 productions, from classical to contemporary, with Shakespeare as the centerpiece.

The playbill has been designed to explore a number of themes related to community, and especially to communities in conflict and the role of the outsider in those communities.

"The plays and musicals we're presenting in 2013 are extraordinary creations that explore the human condition in very different ways," says Cimolino. "Presented by an exceptional company of actors and directors, who are among the finest in the world, these productions will open up lively conversations that can be further pursued through our many Forum events."

Cimolino will direct The Merchant of Venice, with Brian Bedford as Shylock and Tom McCamus as Antonio, and Friedrich Schiller's Mary Stuart, featuring Seana McKenna and Lucy Peacock with Ben Carlson, Brian Dennehy and Geraint Wyn Davies.

Bedford will also serve as director of Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit with Ben Carlson, Michelle Giroux, Seana McKenna and Sara Topham.

Dennehy will play Pozzo in Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, with Stephen Ouimette as Estragon and Tom Rooney as Vladimir, under the direction of Jennifer Tarver.

And Peacock will take the lead in the world première of Judith Thompson's The Thrill, an inspiring love story about two people on opposing sides of the right-to-die movement.

Martha Henry returns to direct Carmen Grant, Stephen Ouimette, Tom Rooney and Geraint Wyn Davies in Measure for Measure. Henry will also play the Prof in Taking Shakespeare, a new play by John Murrell, directed by Diana Leblanc, which is an exploration of another 2013 production, Othello, which will be directed by Chris Abraham and feature Graham Abbey, Bethany Jillard and Dion Johnstone.

Rounding out the Shakespeare offerings is Romeo and Juliet, featuring Daniel Brière and Sara Topham and directed by Tim Carroll.

Des McAnuff returns with his production of Tommy, the blockbuster musical he created with The Who's Pete Townshend.

The main-stage musical, Fiddler on the Roof, is directed and choreographed by Donna Feore and features Kate Hennig and Scott Wentworth.

Also at the Festival Theatre is the family favourite The Three Musketeers, directed by Miles Potter and featuring Graham Abbey, Jonathan Goad, Luke Humphrey and Mike Shara.

To quote Julia Serano:
Traditional sexism functions to make femaleness and femininity appear subordinate to maleness and masculinity... [F]emale and feminine attributes are regularly assigned negative connotations and meanings in our society. An example of this is the way that being in touch with and expressing one's emotions is regularly derided in our society...Sometimes, the article hits on those points:
[T]raditional sexism also creates the impression that certain aspects of feminity exist for the pleasure or benefit of men ... After all, feminine self-presentation tends to highly correlate with a more general desire to surround oneself with beautiful or aesthetically pleasing objects and materials - whether in decorating one's home or adorning one's body. (Whipping Girl, 326-328)
As a card-carrying "feminine-ist," I am here to tell you that feeling sexy is what helps me to be my most powerful and successful self, and being powerful and successful also helps me feel damn sexy! As "feminine-ists," we definitely don't need to make the choice between feminine or powerful and successful. We should and must try to embrace both choices simultaneously.But then it shames women who aren't feminine:
I see too many women these days rushing around trying to do it all, but meanwhile they're not being it all! They're not being their fullest, best feminine selves. Instead, they're being tougher than they'd like to be as well as more exhausted, strident and irritable, thereby feeling unattractive inside and out. All while suffering from guilt over the stuff they did not manage to squeeze into their over-booked schedules.And tries to center the women's movement around men:
With the word "feminism," it might have been embarrassing for a man to say he was a supporter because it might sound like he was admitting to supporting of a group of controlling, bitchy women. But with new pro-sexiness, pro-sweetness, pro-balance words like "feminine-ist" and "feminine-ism," what's not for a man to love?So, to re-cap: feminine is "best". Feminism is about "controlling, bitchy women" who are not sexy, sweet, or balanced. Advocacy for women's rights is only significant when it reinforces norms and caters to men.
Let's see.... what are we missing? Can't forget some good old transmisogyny:
True story: My friend David got mugged at a bank machine by a beautiful, leggy, sexy woman.So, the writer devalues and dismisses and others folks on the trans feminine spectrum, and implicitly essentializes femininity as the sole domain of cis women. Oh, and some ungendering thrown in there for kicks. Awesome.
"Actually, it might have been a transvestite," David corrected himself.
"It's okay if you were mugged by a woman," I told him, smiling.
Now embarrassed, David said, "The more I think about it, the more I'm sure he was a transvestite."
I laughed but was also intrigued by why David would be so embarrassed to be mugged by a beautiful, leggy, sexy woman, but not a man.
"Feminism" has a great deal of baggage and issues in too many areas to mention, and femininity is devalued. But, let's not center it around traditional femininity in an effort to shore up oppositional sexism and cissexism. Thanks, though.

Daniel Craig to Take on James Bond Two More Times… At Least
Being that James Bond is one of those characters that will never go out of style, it came as no surprise to learn that we'd be getting another movie installment of the franchise in 2014. The real mystery, though, was Daniel Craig's involvement. At the time this news broke, it wasn't yet clear if our current 007 would be assuming the role again in the future, but now we can all rest assured that we'll definitely be seeing Craig all tuxed up and sipping a martini… or a Heineken.

TTP | Nevermore!
Edgar Allan Poe -
October 28th, 2011
Praised as much as maligned and misunderstood as much as analyzed, no writer may have done more for American literature than Edgar Allan Poe.
Sure he looked like Charlie Chaplin after a sketched out meth jag and buffed out his own his 13-year-old cousin, but he also was also a master of the short story and the progenitor of detective fiction.
Orphaned, discounted and disowned, Poe was proof that some of the most fascinating art comes from the most damaged souls.
[Join the conversation about ... Edgar Allen Poe.]
Amount of money The American Review paid Poe to publish his poem, "The Raven," in their February 1845 issue. The poem went on to gain wide acclaim and to be reprinted thousands of times in other periodicals and texts.
noun. the art of writing and solving codes.
Poe enjoyed the challenge, science and mystery of cryptography. He issued a challenge in Alexander's Weekly Messenger that he could solve any cipher submitted by its readers.
Poe attended the University of Virginia with barely a dollar to his name. He gambled, hoping to win extra money to stay in school, and ended up instead burning his furniture to keep him warm after the first term. He dropped out shortly thereafter.
Prime Poe
|The Tell-Tale Heart (1843)
|After dismembering and hiding his murder victim's body beneath the floorboards of his room, the narrator goes mad insisting he can hear the man's heart still beating.
|Annabel Lee (1849)
|Angels, jealous of Poe and a childhood sweetheart's love, kill her. The narrator lies down and reminisces at her grave by the sea.
|The Purloined Letter (1844)
|A detective story about an incriminating letter hidden in plain sight. A mental playground for French psychoanalyst and philosopher Lacan and Derrida.
|The Cask of Amontillado (1846)
|A nobleman entombs his drunken friend alive in the catacombs after being insulted. Fifty years later he still has not been caught and hopes his friend is resting in peace.
|A Dream Within A Dream (1849)
|In this brief poem the narrator ascertains that his inability to control certain aspects of his life must mean that he is living in a dream within a dream.
Poe died at the age of 40 under mysterious circumstances in Baltimore, MD on October 7, 1849. He was found mumbling and dazed wearing someone else's clothing.
In March of 2012, The Raven will be released. The film stars John Cusack as Edgar Allan Poe, and is a fictionalized account of the last days of the writer's life.

Publisher's Description▼▲
After many years of writing her own words in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to be more attentive to the Savior's voice and begin listening for what He was saying. So with pen in hand, she embarked on a journey that forever changed herand many others around the world.
In these powerful pages are the words and Scriptures Jesus lovingly laid on her heart. Words of reassurance, comfort, and hope. Words that have made her increasingly aware of His presence and allowed her to enjoy His peace.
Jesus is calling out to you in the same way. Maybe you share the authors need for a great sense of "God with you". Or perhaps Jesus seems distant without you knowing why. Or maybe you have wandered farther from Him that you ever imagined you would. Here is a years worth of daily readings from Youngs journals to bring you closer to Christ and move your time with Him from monologue to a dialogue.
Each day is written as if Jesus Himself were speaking to you. Because He is. Do you hear Him calling?

Run away from it! Please read ONLY the Holy Bible. While this book seems well intentioned, and many of the feel-good ideas sound pleasant and beneficial, it is NOT appropriate for Christians to channel anything, even an entity presenting itself to be the Jesus of the Bible. It is actually an unclean spirit/demon feeding ideas to the author. God warns us to stay away from anything like this (consulting with familiar spirits and practicing witchcraft/sorcery).
Any book other than the Bible that claims to be the inspired word of God is a wicked fraud, evil hoax, and lie-filled heresy. If you truly love and trust in the real Jesus who created everything and died for our sins, please don't even read a few words of this book or any similarly "inspired" book (such as "A Course in Miracles" or "Conversations with God").

Enjoy National Salsa Month In May [VIDEO]
Among other things, May is "National Salsa Month". In the Greg McShea household, we have our favorite brand: Newman's Own Salsa (Medium). Maybe you have a favorite brand or even make your own! Here's more on the subject.
According to gone-ta-pott.com:
"What is Salsa Sauce?
Salsa (sauce), any of various sauces of Spanish, Italian or Latin American origin, from the Spanish or Italian word for sauce. In Spanish or Italian, salsa can refer to any type of sauce, but in American English it usually refers to the spicy, often tomato or corn based hot sauces typical of Mexican cuisine, particularly those used as dips, whereas in British English it more typically refers to Salsa Cruda which is common in Spanish or Italian cuisine."

The Rockets have been delivering solid results this year, and the preseason has been good for them. They do things right on the court, passing well, setting up picks and driving to the basket. They played a game on Wednesday against the Nets to come through with an impressive and much-needed victory. Now both the Jets and the Nets sit at 3-2. The game they played had an ideal end for the Rockets, as they took the Nets with a score of 91-81 after four quarters. Basketball lines.
The Rockets started off with an early lead, giving overall a sturdy performance. They pressured the Nets all game long and looked sharp on the court. Yao Ming played only 19 minutes, but was effective. While the Asian superstar is recovering from foot surgery, he is looking good as things progress. He scored nine points to keep the energy high for the Houston Rockets. Basketball betting lines.
Houston coach Rick Adelman said that he wants to coax Ming back into things, after missing a season, and he is happy with the way he is doing so far. Kevin Martin scored 18 points, while Aaron Brooks added 17. The Rockets took the game by playing a steady strategy, outmaneuvering their opponents and keeping themselves together as a unit. Baseball odds.
Houston led 53-42 at the half. Even though the Nets pressed in the third, their defensive skills played out to keep the New Jersey team under control. As the preseason is well under way now, the teams are getting ready to really ramp it up for the regular season. With Ming looking closer and closer to a full recovery, the Houston Rockets will be a team to keep an eye on. Once they have the gentle giant back, everyone better watch out.

BWW EXCLUSIVE: Tony-Winning Set Designer Derek McLane Takes On the OSCARS
You know I don't have any one favorite set. I fall in love with pretty much every show that I do while I'm doing it and some sets stay with me more than others, like those sets I just mentioned are some of my favorites. But there are many others that I'm really fond of. And I suppose that kind of lift is always changing a little bit.
Who do you feel are some of the people who influenced or inspired you throughout your career?
Well there are a lot of directors I've worked with who have been really inspirational. They've pushed me to do great things and I really appreciated that. There are also some designers that I worked with a long,long time ago when I first started. I apprenticed with Robin Wagner and that was an amazing experiencing. I learned a huge amount from him about not only how to approach a show but also how to deal with a lot of the people involved in a production. So Robin Wagner was one of the first people I assisted when I came to New York and he's remained a friend since.
Is there a musical you would love to see come back to Broadway so you could have a shot at designing the set?
(laughing) That's a great question. I've always wanted to design 'Oklahoma.' That's a favorite of mine.
Is there one specific element that appears in all of your designs, sort of a trademark of your work?
Not always, because every production is different. You know I just designed 'The Heiress' which is really quite a realistic set and some of the things that I like to do in sort of abstract design I couldn't possibly have done in 'The Heiress'. I have a fascination with repeating objects. That certainly was a theme in '33 Variations' and it certainly was a theme in 'I Am My Own Wife' and it's also a theme in this Oscar design, in the proscenium, which I think is perhaps a signature of mine, with the repeating objects, in this case repeating Oscars. Each one of those will be beautifully lit so that as individual objects they'll be gorgeous, but also, as a pattern they'll be amazing.
Rendering of 2013 OSCAR Set
And that leads me to my next question - what role does lighting play when you are designing?
Oh it's huge, it's absolutely huge. I always collaborate very intensely with the lighting designer because something like that can only be brought to life in the way that you light it - and that's sort of the technique of taking an object that wouldn't otherwise look like anything and sort of turning it into something gorgeous.
In my apartment in New York, I have this wall of lamps that I created, it's kind of an installation which I feel very much exemplifies that idea. It's about 35 industrial lamps, they're made out of cast iron most of them, but I've got them all arranged each in its own cubby, and they're all arranged so that they're aiming in the same direction. And they're backed with antique mirror. What I like about it is that the objects themselves are industrial, but because they all emit this sort of beautiful glow of light, each one has a dim, clear incandescent bulb in it, they create a very romantic landscape on the wall, but out of objects that you wouldn't ordinarily associate with that.
It sounds like a work of art.
It is, I think so. I'm sort of fascinated by that. That tension between the objects that are plain but can be made, in the right arrangement, to be absolutely gorgeous.
Do the costumes go hand in hand with the design as well?
Absolutely. I mean it depends on the project. Some shows, the costumes are enormously important and some shows the costumes are more realistic, or less a part of the design. But usually on a highly designed world, the costumes are also highly designed and so that becomes a very, very important collaboration.
I read that you've been involved with Barry Manilow in his original musical 'Harmony.' Are there any updates as far as if and when it might come to Broadway?
You know I don't know the answer to that. I know there's talk about it but I'm not sure what the latest is. But I know it will be great because it's a beautiful piece and I hope people will get to see it. And I hope I will get to work on it.
Well best of luck and I'm really looking forward to Sunday's show.
Thank you - me too!

Submitted to: Journal of Geophysical Research
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 4/29/2009
Publication Date: 6/9/2009
Citation: Kuhnle, R.A., Wren, D.G. 2009. Size of Suspended Sediment over Dunes. Journal of Geophysical Research. 114, F02020, doi:10.1029/2008JF001200 Interpretive Summary: Accurate knowledge of the rate of sediment being moved by the flowing water in stream channels is important because the sediment may fill reservoirs and reduce their capacity, may fill channels and cause increased incidences of flooding, may degrade water quality and adversely affect aquatic organisms, and may cause instability of the channel banks which can lead to the destruction of valuable agricultural lands and critical components of our infrastructure. Physical, chemical, and biological sediment damage in North America has been estimated to exceed 16 billion dollars annually. The rates of sand transport in streams and rivers is poorly known because accurate predictions or measurements are difficult and expensive to make largely because of complex features such as dunes which commonly occur on stream bottoms. Dunes are triangular shaped ridges which form as flowing water moves the sand along the bottoms of streams and rivers. They have a strong influence on the rates and sizes of sediment the stream is able to move. This study focused on characterizing and predicting the size of the sediment grains in motion above the bottom of a model stream channel with dunes in the laboratory. Being able to predict the sizes of sediment in movement in streams is necessary to produce reliable rate calculations and to allow new technologies, such as acoustics, to measure sediment movement rates accurately. The results from this study will allow an improved understanding of the interactions between sediment and flowing water and lead to improved measurement and prediction technologies for the movement of sand-sized sediment in streams.
Technical Abstract: Samples of suspended sediment were collected at four elevations simultaneously over two-dimensional mobile dunes in two mixtures of 0.5 mm sand in a laboratory flume channel. A constant sampling position relative to the dunes was maintained by adjusting the translation rate of the sampling carriage to be the same as the migration rate of the dunes. The rate of change of concentration of the suspended sediment with distance from the bed for individual grain sizes was found to be related to the part of the dune over which the samples were collected. The suspended sediment concentration over the lowest third of the flow depth was nearly constant with depth over the trough of the bed forms, while over the brink point concentration varied rapidly with depth, with intermediate rates of change, similar to measurements over a flat bed, over the rest of the dune. The concentration of coarser grains was reasonably explained by assuming they were in intermittent suspension from the brink point of one dune to that of the next. Differences between the vertical changes in grain size were reduced when the sizes were plotted relative to the mean crest elevation of the dunes rather than the local bed elevation. The Rouse equation was found to yield accurate predictions of median grain sizes above the crest level using a reference sample, while median grain size was found to be nearly constant below the level of the crest.

Students will discover Leonardo da Vinci's inventive ideas as they invent a new machine for the 21st century.Objectives:
Born: 1452; Died: 1519
Leonardo Da Vinci was, as you are probably aware, a true master artist. In fact, many folks refer to him as the greatest artist ever produced by the Renaissance. The man who grew to a ripe old age of 67, is probably best known for his mysterious painting, "Mona Lisa" or "La Gioconda", a portrait of the wife of a Florentine official which was painted in Da Vinci's later years. As a painter, Da Vinci was astounding, having trained under the watchful eye of Verrocchio, a Florentine painter, goldsmith and sculptor. Da Vinci learned his craft and went on to use it not only for pleasure, but for payment. His reputation as a master earned him many commissions. He was the original creative thinker, a philosopher as much as an artist who after contemplating a move in his work, would stop, look and contemplate some more.
A painter, sculptor, scientist, inventor, architect, mathematician and philosopher, Leonardo Da Vinci influenced generations of humans.

Mar 25, 2011 – Internet marketing business, Internet Services Group of Florida (ISG), hosted an educational and celebratory event last month called "The ISG Way", presented by ISG Owner and Founder of the company, Charly Caldwell II. Caldwell presented to the entire staff, as well as representatives from some of ISG's web site design and web marketing clients.
"The ISG Way" event kicked off with a brief history of the company, including some entertaining photos of the staff from the beginning stages of their career with ISG. Each member of the ISG staff also gave a brief presentation about their role with ISG, as well as their personal and professional goals, passions, hobbies, and pursuits.
Caldwell then proceeded to review the core concepts of the company's success over the years, discussed strengths and weaknesses, and offered a glimpse of what was on the horizon for ISG.
"The ISG Way event was a way to thank the ISG team and ISG's extended family for their contributions to the success of ISG over the years," said Charly Caldwell II, Owner, ISG. "I thought this would also be a great way to provide an interactive venue for both the staff and clients. It allowed them to gain a deeper understanding of what each member of the team does, review our current strategies, receive feedback from clients, and discuss innovative ideas for the future."
Some highlights of the presentation included specific examples of online marketing successes, in which ISG clients saw exponential increases in web traffic. Caldwell reviewed various methods of testing and measuring the Internet marketing, allowing the staff of ISG to perfect techniques for continued success. Through these measurements, ISG clients were able to watch their web sites quickly rise to the top of Google and other search engines.

Luke 13:1-9 – Sentenced to Life
Sermon: "Sentenced to Life"
Texts: Isaiah 55:1-9 and Luke 13:1-9
For a commentary on Luke 13:1-9, see First Look.
We are now in our third Sunday of Lent and we've been focusing on the importance of repentance. This is usually the time of year in which I'll hear about a church hosting a viewing of Mel Gibson's movie, The Passion of the Christ, which I think left those of us who saw it with a new appreciation for the suffering that Jesus may have endured. You can't help but feel more penitent, more willing to make sacrifices in your own life, after seeing such a startling depiction of Jesus' own sacrifice. In addition to movies like The Passion of the Christ, you may hear of other churches offering sensory ways of engaging the Biblical texts. For instance, I recently stopped by a "Biblical Garden" at a local church and saw an actual vine known as the "crown of thorns". After touching the vine and imagining it being wound into the shape of a crown, I once again gained a new appreciation for Jesus' suffering.
Some of you may be familiar with "Biblical Gardens". They include plants mentioned in scripture, like Cedars, Lilies of the field, apples, small bushes with red leaves known as "burning bushes", and of course, vines of thorns. It is an interesting way to make the stories we read in scripture more real, more tangible. Perhaps if we can see and touch that vine of thorns, for instance, we can envision the crown that it was woven into, and realize how painful it would have been to wear it. It can make us more penitent, more reflective on our own relatively comfortable lives.
Now, completely by accident, and with no connection to Lent or repentance whatsoever (or so I thought), my wife and I have cultivated one biblical plant at our own home. Two years ago we took our first ever vacation to the Florida Keys, and as a living souvenir we brought back a Key Lime tree. Key Lime Pie is my favorite dessert, and we loved the idea of having Key Limes available at home. Of course, you will not find any Key Lime trees mentioned in scripture, but from time to time there is mention of a tree that will not bear fruit. We have this tree at our house right now.
In two years of growing, I have yet to see anything even remotely resembling a lime. It has some leaves here and there, and a few bare branches, but no fruit. When I read our scripture reading for this morning, and hear Jesus telling the parable of the fruitless tree, I cannot help thinking of our Key Lime tree that refuses to bear Key Limes. Rather than just admit that it's our fault for buying it and moving it to North Carolina, it's easier to claim that it is the first and only addition to our very own Biblical Garden. Our little fruitless tree, after all, is rather famous. Not only does it show up in this morning's scripture reading from the Gospel of Luke, but Matthew and Mark both include accounts of fruitless trees. In Matthew, Jesus curses a fruitless fig tree just before entering Jerusalem. In Mark, Jesus curses a barren fig tree immediately after entering Jerusalem. It is in Jerusalem, of course, that Jesus is arrested, tried, and crucified. Matthew and Mark both want to connect Jesus' judgment of the fruitless tree with the narration of his passion: his crucifixion and death. In both gospels, we see Jesus as a judge, pronouncing a harsh sentence upon a fruitless tree, immediately before he goes to die for all of humanity. Might there be some connection?
Very soon after The Passion of the Christ hit theatres, I was quoted in the local newspaper as saying that I would see the movie because there was really no way for me to avoid it. So my wife and I sat through the blood, and the gore, and the intense beatings, and came away from the movie with a greater general appreciation for the suffering that Jesus may have endured on his way to the cross. For the two hours that I sat in the theatre, I was also conscious of the way that Jews were portrayed, perhaps because I have heard criticism from some Jewish leaders that condemn the movie as "anti-Semitic". Personally, I did not think that the Jewish people as a whole were portrayed negatively in the film, but I can in a way sympathize with the concerns that some Jews have had. Those who criticized the movie as being anti-Semitic were obviously concerned about a backlash against Jews for being the ones that chose to put Jesus to death. They were worried that the Jews would be blamed for the death of Christ.
While many of us disagree with that reasoning, we perhaps can understand some of the criticism. After all, we do live in a culture of blame. Anytime something goes wrong, someone ends up being the scapegoat; someone ends up taking the blame. All of us, human beings in general, are very good at pointing the finger at someone else. We can find painfully obvious examples of this every day in our world. For instance, we have Republicans blaming Democrats for the ills of our society, and of course the Democrats are blaming the Republicans. We see criminals blaming their parents, or their families, or "society" for their own failures. Whenever something bad happens, it seems those involved are always very quick to pass the buck. We live in a culture of blame, and it seems like everyone is willing to point the finger at everyone else, when really we should be pointing it at ourselves. It's just a simple fact that we are all much better at recognizing the sins of others than we are at recognizing our own.
I happened to see an interview with Mel Gibson about his movie in the weeks after it was released. In it, the interviewer asked him, "Who killed Jesus?" I think she wanted to hear him answer, "The Jews did!" thereby stirring the pot of blame and controversy even more. Instead, Gibson's answer was… are you ready?
"We all did."
That's right. We all killed Jesus.
I think the reason that his answer is so memorable is that it steps outside the question of blame, and instead focuses on the sinfulness that each and every one of us owns in the eyes of God. "We all did…" No one is blameless.
That answer is also very similar to the one that Jesus gives to the people who question him in our scripture reading from Luke this morning. Some in the crowd around him tell Jesus about the bloody massacre of a group of Galileans at the hands of Pontius Pilate. To them, this is an example of a bad thing happening to good people. They want to know why. If they were really good people, why were they killed? Isn't it possible that their deaths were their punishment for their sins?
Jesus' reply steps outside the question of punishment and blame, and instead focuses on the sinfulness of us all. "Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were worse sinners? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish as they did." Jesus then mentions a tower that fell on a crowd of people, saying, "Those eighteen who were killed when the tower fell on them – do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others living in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish as they did."
Jesus sidesteps the question of why these people died. Perhaps there really are no answers to the question of why bad things happen to good people. Jesus' words are meant to tell us that God is not punishing sinfulness through tragic events. Instead of interpreting tragic events through our blame-colored glasses, perhaps we should learn to look at our own lives. "Unless we repent, we will perish just as they did." These words mean that none of us is blameless. No one of us really even deserves the life we have been given. We are all sinners. We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. This is not good news!
Jesus follows this horrifying declaration with a parable. Here's our beloved old fruitless tree, still barren and bare, obstinately refusing to do the very thing that it was created to do. It just takes up space and wastes good soil! The owner of the tree wants to cut it down! Who can blame him? Rip it out, roots and all, and use it for kindling! That tree deserves to die! That tree sounds a lot like us, doesn't it?
In our sinfulness, we are all fruitless trees. There are times when we refuse to bear the fruits of love and kindness. There are times that we obstinately refuse to glorify God in our words and deeds. We just take up space. We waste good soil. We deserve to be ripped out, roots and all, and thrown away. This is a harsh vision of the guilt that we all share as sinful human beings.
The famous reformer and church father John Calvin described the guilt of humanity in a dramatic courtroom setting. I often think about what it would be like if John Calvin had the opportunity to film this description, as it is incredibly dramatic. Calvin describes all of humanity coming into a large courtroom on a day of judgment. There isn't a smile on anyone's face. We might imagine ourselves there too, joining the somber procession to stand in front of the judge's bench. We all know that we have sinned. We can do nothing but plead guilty. We have wasted space, taken up good soil, for far too long. We have not borne the fruits of love. We have not served others with kindness. We have not glorified God in all that we do, and in fact, we have often acted like God does not exist at all. Like the fruitless tree, we haven't done too well with the life that we have been given, and so we expect the judge to sentence us to death. In that courtroom, we all stand together, heads hanging in shame as we look down at the floor. Anticipating the pronouncement of our sentence, we lift our heads to face the judge before us.
It is at that moment that the most amazing thing happens. As we look upon the face of the judge, we realize that we know him. We all recognize him. A new hope springs up from within us, mixed with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. The judge is… The Redeemer. The judge is Jesus Christ.
Rather than being sentenced to death, we are then sentenced to life. Jesus Christ, the Redeemer, is the voice that says, "Give them all one more year." We don't deserve a second chance, but that is exactly what we get. Instead of death, we are given a chance at life. We are all found guilty, but the grace and mercy of God's love for us calls us to be grateful. We have all been sentenced to life.
That's the amazing thing about God's love for us. Even as we are condemned and pronounced guilty for our sinfulness and disobedience, we are loved and given a second chance. This isn't to say that God is always warm and fuzzy, either. Just because God gives us a second chance doesn't mean that we can go around doing whatever we please without consequence. You haven't been let off the hook! On the contrary, you are on the hook. You have been hooked for life. Christ, the judge and the redeemer, has got you, and he will never let you go.
Thanks be to God.

Someone complimented me on my beautiful complexion tonight. I don't think I've ever gotten that compliment before.
I wanted to say "HAHAHA. You should see what my skin looks like when I take off my makeup."
But I didn't.

Detailed Description:
I. To evaluate the anti-tumor activity of SU11248 (sunitinib malate), a highly potent, selective tyrosine kinases inhibitor, in patients with persistent or recurrent clear cell ovarian carcinoma.
II. To examine the nature and degree of toxicity in this cohort of patients treated with this regimen.
I. To characterize the distribution of progression-free survival and overall survival for patients treated with SU11248 (sunitinib malate).
I. To determine the pre-cycle 1, pre-cycle 4 and off-treatment levels of pro-angiogenic proteins (e.g., angiogenin, soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule [VCAM]-I, basic fibroblast growth factor [bFGF], platelet-derived growth factor [PDGF], placental growth factor [PlGF], vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF], and hypoxia-inducible factor [HIF]1alpha).
II. To identify changes in serum and plasma angiogenesis markers at baseline (pre-cycle 1), during treatment (cycle 4), and at progression in association with primary and secondary clinical endpoints associated with clinical response or progression-free survival.
Patients receive sunitinib malate orally (PO) once daily (QD) for 4 weeks. Courses repeat every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
Patients must have recurrent or persistent clear cell ovarian cancer; primary tumors must be at least 50% clear cell histomorphology in order to be eligible or have a histologically documented recurrence with at least 50% clear cell histomorphology; in addition, the tumors should be negative for expression of Wilms tumor (WT)-1 antigen and estrogen receptor (ER) antigen by immunohistochemistry; appropriate tissue sections must be available for histologic evaluation for central pathology review by Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG); immunohistochemical stained slides for ER and WT-1 antigen must be available for review by GOG
- If the primary tumor had at least 50% clear cell histomorphology, a biopsy of the recurrent or persistent tumor is not required; however, immunohistochemical studies of the primary tumor for ER and WT-1 antigens should be performed and the slides submitted to the GOG for review; the percentage of clear cell histomorphology must be documented in the pathology report or in an addendum to the original report; if slides of the primary tumor are not available for review due to disposal of slides by the histology laboratory (typically 10 years after diagnosis), biopsy of recurrent or persistent disease is required
- If the primary tumor had less than 50% clear cell histomorphology (or if slides of the primary tumor are not available for review), a biopsy of the recurrent or persistent tumor is required to confirm at least 50% clear cell histomorphology and lack of immunoreactivity for ER and WT-1 antigens by immunohistochemistry; the percentage of involvement must be documented in the pathology report or in an addendum to the original report
- All patients must have measurable disease as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1; measurable disease is defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded); each lesion must be >= 10 mm when measured by computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or caliper measurement by clinical exam; or >= 20 mm when measured by chest x-ray; lymph nodes must be >= 15 mm in short axis when measured by CT or MRI
- Patients must have at least one "target lesion" to be used to assess response on this protocol as defined by RECIST 1.1; tumors within a previously irradiated field will be designated as "non-target" lesions unless progression is documented or a biopsy is obtained to confirm persistence at least 90 days following completion of radiation therapy; thus, a confirmed biopsy in an irradiated area at a date longer than 90 days post-completion of radiation can be considered a target lesion to assess progression and response
- Patients must have had one prior platinum-based chemotherapeutic regimen for management of primary disease containing carboplatin, cisplatin, or another organoplatinum compound; this initial treatment may have included intraperitoneal therapy, consolidation, or extended therapy administered after surgical or non-surgical assessment
Patients are allowed to receive, but are not required to receive, one additional cytotoxic regimen for management of recurrent or persistent disease according to the following definition:
- Cytotoxic regimens include any agent that targets the genetic and/or mitotic apparatus of dividing cells, resulting in dose-limiting toxicity to the bone marrow and/or gastrointestinal mucosa
- Patients who have received only one prior cytotoxic regimen (platinum-based regimen for management of primary disease) must have a platinum-free interval of less than 12 months, or have progressed during platinum-based therapy, or have persistent disease after a platinum-based therapy
- Patients may have received prior biologic therapy, but must not have had any prior therapy with agents which inhibit VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) or PDGF such as, bevacizumab, sorafenib, sunitinib, pazopanib, brivanib, aflibercept cediranib, BIBF 1120, imatinib, dasatinib
- Any other prior therapy directed at the malignant tumor, including immunologic agents (e.g. tamoxifen) must be discontinued at least three weeks prior to registration
- Patients must not be eligible for a higher priority (e.g.; Phase III), GOG protocol for the same population if one exists
- Patients must be recovered from effects of recent surgery (28 days must elapse between surgery and the start of treatment with sunitinib malate)
- Patents must have >= 4 weeks since prior chemotherapy or radiation (>= 6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C)
- Sunitinib metabolizes via liver enzyme, specifically the cytochrome P450 family 3, subfamily A, polypeptide 4 (CYP3A4) enzyme; therefore, potential drug interaction with the CYP3A4 enzyme can occur; eligible patients who are on the CYP3A4 inducer or inhibitor enzyme should stop 2 weeks prior to study entry if all other eligibility has been confirmed; the principal investigator will review the case and make all effort to switch such agent to other medication
- Patients should be free of active infection (with the exception of uncomplicated urinary tract infections [UTI]) requiring antibiotics
- Patients who have received one prior regimen must have a GOG performance status of 0, 1 or 2; patients who have received two prior regimens must have GOG performance status of 0 or 1
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1,500/mcl
- Platelets greater than or equal 100,000/mcl
- Creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 ULN
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) less than or equal to 2.5 times the ULN, unless subjects have liver metastasis, in which case both AST and ALT must be less than or equal to 5 times the ULN
- Patients who have met the pre-entry requirements
- Patients must have signed an approved informed consent and authorization permitting release of personal health information
Exclusion Criteria:
- Primary peritoneal or fallopian tube primaries are not eligible
- Patients with serious non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture
- Patients with active bleeding or pathologic conditions that carry high risk of bleeding, such as known bleeding disorder, coagulopathy, or tumor involving major vessels
- Patients with history or evidence upon physical examination of central nervous system (CNS) disease, including primary brain tumor, seizures not controlled with standard medical therapy, any brain metastases, or history of cerebrovascular accident (CVA, stroke), transient ischemic attack (TIA) or subarachnoid hemorrhage within 6months of the first date of treatment on this study
Patients with clinically significant cardiovascular disease; this includes:
- Poorly controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure of >= 140 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure of >= 90 mm Hg) are ineligible
- Myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 6 months prior to registration
- New York Heart Association (NYHA) grade II or greater congestive heart failure
- Cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication
- Grade II or greater peripheral vascular disease based on National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria (NCI CTC); e.g. ischemic rest pain, minor tissue loss, and ulceration or gangrene
- Patients with QTc prolongation (> 500 msec) are excluded
- Patients who require use of therapeutic doses of Coumadin-derivative anticoagulants such as warfarin are ineligible, although doses of up to 2 mg daily are permitted for prophylaxis of thrombosis; low molecular weight heparin is permitted provided patient's prothrombin time (PT) international normalized ratio (INR) is =< 1.5
- Patients with clinically significant peripheral artery disease, e.g., those with claudication, within 6 months
- Patients with a pre-existing thyroid abnormality who are unable to maintain thyroid function in the normal range with medication are ineligible; patients with a history of hypothyroidism are eligible provided they are currently euthyroid
- Patients whose circumstances do not permit completion of the study or the required follow-up
- Patients who are pregnant or nursing; to date, no fetal studies in animals or humans have been performed; the possibility of harm to a fetus is likely; this drug specifically inhibits VEGF, which is responsible for formation of new blood vessels during development, and antibodies can cross the placenta; therefore, it should not be administered to pregnant women; subjects will be apprised of the large potential risk to a developing fetus; it is not known whether the drug is excreted in human milk; because many drugs are excreted in human milk, this drug should not be administered to nursing women; women of childbearing potential must agree to use contraceptive measures during study therapy and for at least 3 months after completion of therapy; a negative serum pregnancy test within 72 hours of starting drug is required
- Patients who have a major surgical procedure, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to the first date of treatment on this study, or anticipation of need for major surgical procedure during the course of the study; patients with placement of vascular access device or core biopsy within 7 days prior to the first date of treatment on this study
- Patients with other invasive malignancies, with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer, who had (or have) any evidence of other cancer present within the last 5 years or whose previous cancer treatment contraindicates this protocol therapy
- Patients who have received prior therapy with this drug

From Mississauga, Ontario to Ann Arbor, Michigan to -- Sacramento, California.
Following a stellar sophomore campaign at Michigan that ultimately made him Big Ten Player of the Year in 2013-14, Nik Stauskas is officially a Sacramento King after being selected at No. 8 overall in the 2014 NBA Draft Thursday night.
"I think a lot of guys that come to Michigan are guys that are under recruited and we play with a chip on our shoulder," Stauskas said immediately after being selected. "I think me and Trey both felt like we had something to prove and I think Coach Beilein and the assistant coaches they've all done a great job and they give us a great system to play in and we've really succeeded in it."
With family and Michigan coach John Beilein in attendance at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, Stauskas becomes the third first round pick from the Wolverines program over the last two years.
Standing 6-foot-6.5, 207-pounds and shooting 44-percent from three-point land last season, Stauskas also bumped his scoring average up from 11 points per game to 17.5 points per game year one to year two.
Selected at No. 8 overall in the draft, Stauskas becomes the highest Wolverine selected since Jamal Crawford was taken in the same slot back in 2000. Utah Jazz point guard Trey Burke was selected at No. 9 overall in 2013.
Analysts weigh-in
Jalen Rose on Stauskas' time at Michigan, "When you play with Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr. you have to take a back seat somewhat," Rose said. "He improved his ball handling somewhat, got a lot stronger, able to finish at the hoop, is a knockdown three-point shooter and he's fearless. He's one of those guys that goes on that floor and thinks I'm the best player out there."
Jay Bilas breaking down Stauskas' game, "I'll tell you Nik Stauskas, I think is the best shooter in this draft," Bilas said. "But he is far more than a shooter. He's got a complete offensive game and he's got a swagger about him, he's cocky, he's confident, he's totally unafraid; you have to be a little cocky to wear that suit I would think.
"But he can really shoot it, deceptive speed, he's got really deep range but he's not just a catch and shoot guy. Myself included thought what's he going to do without Trey Burke? Well, here's what he's going to do, he can get his own shot, he can put the ball on the deck, he can drive it, and he can dunk on people. He can also pass, 3.5 assists a game, he's got a total offensive game.
"What does he need to work on? He needs to get stronger and I think he needs to work on his defense but offensively, he's big time."

Our nation's debt] has a big effect on jobs.
It hurts jobs now.
It threatens businesses with uncertainty today, and it for sure, positively, without hesitation, gives our kids a diminished future.
It is our moral obligation to save the American dream for our children and our grandchildren, and we need political leaders who will do that, and we don't have them right now, and we'll get them by electing Mitt Romney the next President of the United States.
