High Four
1st Downs
Maryland recorded 17 first downs in the wet and rainy homecoming game vs. Virginia. That is nearly double the amount that the Cavaliers posted-moving their chains just 9 times. This is an important aspect of the game. Maryland doesn't have a lot of bright spots, but moving the ball can be a sign of lots of potential. What they really need to do is capitalize on this and work on moving the ball in the redzone. If they can turn these first downs into six points, things may go up for the struggling Terps.
Total Yards
Maryland recorded 284 yards, 83 yards more than the victorious Virginia Cavaliers. With Chris Turner accumulating 158 yards in the air and the rest coming from the vast amount of running backs, the Terps didn't seem to have any trouble getting in position to score in the first three quarters of the game. The coaching staff should be proud that they the Terps hung around for as long as they did with just nailing field goals rather than touchdowns.
The freshmen running back only recorded six carries for the Terps, but his explosive attack and quick footwork landed him 22 yards on the ground. This is important for the Terps to have a strong runner that can play behind injured players or fumble-prone backs. What the coaching staff must have been most impressed with in Porzel's play is that he didn't turn the ball over once-something that Davein Meggett and the rest of the Terps seemed to have trouble accomplishing.
Controlling the Game
For the first three quarters, it seemed like Maryland was in good control of the game. Even though they were only converting on fieldgoals rather than touchdowns, it looked like this game would not be very competitive.
Low Five
Chris Turn-over
Quarterback Chris Turner seemed to have a difficulty distinguishing between Cavalier blue and white vs. Terrapin red and black. Turner may have had a decent day in the air, the yardage was overshadowed by the embarrassing two interceptions-one of which was returned for a touchdown. Turner needs to get his interception problem under control if he wants to make it through as the starter for the remainder of the season. This game featured Chris Turner's seventh and eighth interceptions.
4th Quarter
Maryland played great in the first three quarters of this game, holding the score to 9-6 until the end of the third quarter. Maryland seemed to forget to keep playing when the Cavs suddenly converted a touchdown. It was downhill from there. The Terps need to be consistent and play the whole game. Maryland obviously can't rely solely on their offense or defense since neither is outstanding; but instead, they need to have acceptable play on both ends of the ball if winning is their main prerogative.
Please Hold onto the Ball
The game may have had a steady rain pounding on the player's helmets, but regardless, is it too much to ask for these Terps to hold onto the ball? Fumbles plagued this game to such an extreme that it became a collective team effort to lose it seemed like. Just when Maryland would have a drive going, someone would lose the football, causing the drive and momentum to be stopped. For some reason, it seems that fumbles are a serious theme with Maryland ball-carriers. Da'Rel Scott accumulated 3 fumbles in the loss to Middle Tennessee State alone, which says that maybe this team needs to work on holding onto that precious piece of pigskin.
Special Teams
Freshman kicker Nick Ferarra missed two key fieldgoals in this game that might have put Maryland over the edge. With the exception of his 3 made fieldgoal attempts, it seems that the Terps had too much confidence in slick Nick. Ferarra cannot be blamed hardly at all however, simply because the team should have been going for touchdowns rather than hoping that their fresh kicker will make some difficult kicks in horrible conditions.
Maryland's defense looked atrocious in the second half of the loss to the Cavaliers of Virginia. Throughout the game, Virginia racked up 201 yards against the ailing Maryland defense. Failure seemed to really hit this defensive squad somewhere after the interception turned into six points for the Virginia defense. Momentum may have been smashed for the Terps, but it doesn't mean that giving up is a viable option. This defense needs to work on their tackling and run defense. Virginia is most successful with tough running, and they exploited Maryland's defense with their bread and butter.

How to connect (3) 2X's to 6x6 post with butt seam
I have been searching for hours to find a product that will allow me to connect (3) 2x12's to a 6x6 post where the 2x's meet in the center of the post. I am building a 48ft wide deck and I have 3 connections where 12ft. spans meet over a 6x6 post. I need a connector for this application. If anyone can copy a link to the product into this thread I would be most appreciative. :surrender:
Welcome to the forum!
The last one sited is approved by Deck Code for 2009, fig. 10; http://www.awc.org/Publications/DCA/DCA6/DCA6-09.pdf
Add some treated plywood fillers for the 1" shy without bending the hanger and longer nails. Cover the top with sticky window flashing for water proofing, top of posts also. Read fig.11, and the rest.
I see the first link and that one looks like it would work, is it code compliant The second link tapers in at the top doesn't looks like there would be enough naling surface area for my application. I know it is approved in the code book but the picture shows it supporting the middle of a beam I don't think that would be a wide enough connector where two beams come together. Any other product ideas? Thanks for your help.:thumbup:
I did one recently (sorry no pics)
I took 2x6's about 2'-3', routed the edges to make 'em look pretty, and fastened them to each side of my 6x6 to create a "cradle".
Not every connection has to be a Simpson Strong Tie.:wink:
Not every connection has to be a Simpson Strong Tie.:wink:
:) True.
You could try a 2x scab on each side, as in a crawl space with a beam enclosed by foundation walls on the ends, and if it doesn't pass inspection for "Alternate Methods", simple to change later if it gets red tagged.
4x4 post will work for 2-ply beams or 4x width solid wood, page 26; "Provisions for Alternative Methods and Materials allow for other post sizes and post-to-beam connections if approved by the building official. For example, in order to use a 4x4 post, it would require the use of a post cap connection as shown in Figure 10. There is not enough cross-sectional area in a 4x4 to permit the let-in notch detail as shown in Figure 8. Connector hardware for 4x4 post is generally limited to 2-ply nominal 2 inch beams or a 4 inch nominal beams. Certain post caps may be adjusted to fit a 3-ply 2 inch nominal member onto a 4x4 post, but it must be special ordered and manufactured manually. Contact a connector manufacturer to determine if there are solutions for connecting a single 3x nominal member onto a 4x4 post." http://www.awc.org/Publications/DCA/DCA6/DCA6-09.pdf
The metal connection would pass any jurisdiction under the IRC, thus meeting minimum Code. With a scab of wood on each side there is the added concern of trapped water that could lead to rot. I'd rather leave the sides open to drain and air-dry the water between/under the beam/post joint with a post cap. I always recommend building to at least minimum stated Code, but that's just me.
The very first picture in the document GBR posted a link too, shows a post to beam connection. They are stacked. You do not want to butt a trippled up 2x12 to the post and depend on any hardware to carry that weight. In my opinion, heavy timbers like you are using should be stacked and use metal flanges to hold them in place.
If the women don't find you handsome,
they should at least find you handy.

Blame Cheney First
The best strategy to bring the Bush-Cheney Administration to justice would be to impeach the more corrupt and less popular Vice President, Richard B. Cheney, first. This strategy may make it possible for Congress to obtain Bush's testimony without Cheney holding Bush's hand as he did in Bush's testimony to the 911 commission investigators.
The evidence of Cheney's involvement in crimes during his tenure as President of Halliburton (e.g. bribing Nigerian government officials and illegal business dealings with Libya and Iran) would make it possible to add perjury to Cheney's rap sheet and give Congress evidence of an impeachable crime – a la the Clinton impeachment.
There will be no need to attack Bush directly, he will become and instant lame duck when the charges against Cheney are publicized.
The website http://iran-conoco-affair.us contains information on how Cheney and his oil business cronies have worked to cover up their companies' illegal business dealings with Iran.

MIT's Robotic Micro-Apartment Transforms From A Single Room Into Many
Mechanization and gestures add new livability to a cramped space.
Ever wish you could be getting more out of the space that you have without resorting to a murphy bed? Kent Larson, the director of MIT Media Lab's "Changing Places" group, Oier Ariño and Hasier Larrea have led a group of architecture students in a design project that has resulted in an 200-square-foot transformable home that includes a bedroom that "transforms to a home gym," and a living room that can become "a dinner party space for 14 people, a suite for four guests, two separate office spaces plus a meeting space, or an a open loft space for a large party." The kitchen can also be used in a closed or open configuration, making it either a living space or one that's used solely for food preparation.
But people in cramped city apartments make do with their limited space all the time. What makes this group's plan any different? The answer is its powerful mechanical underpinnings in the form of the RoboWall. The RoboWall is a closet-sized mechanical box that can be installed in an apartment without any need for additional infrastructure or wiring. With a set of simple hand gestures, such as holding your hand flat at the trundle bed and making a 'pulling' motion to bring it outward, it can function as a bed, work space, dining room table (with seating for six), a cooking range, closet, and multipurpose storage space. The entire unit can also be shifted several feet to change the dimensions of the space around it. No need to worry about getting hit in the behind with a fold-up ironing board like in the old cartoons; the automation makes RoboWall safer than anything that has preceded it.
The design, if it hit the market and became affordable in itself, could have wide-reaching implications for a young generation that has had to learn to make do with practically nothing in terms of affordable housing — and may soon be able to make do with less. "This would work well in the 30 to 40 Innovation Cities where young people are priced out of the market," lead researcher Kent Larson explains. "At $1,000 per square foot in Boston, the extra cost of technology is trivial compared to space saved for a furnished apartment." Larson has assured many that his team's idea isn't just a pipe dream, he hopes to bring it to market soon, through either a startup or a commercial sponsor.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Northern Arizona University's golf team will begin its season today at the Golfweek Conference Challenge at the Red Sky Golf Club in Wolcott, Colo. The tournament will be three days in length playing one round each day, ending on Wednesday Sept. 25th.
The Lumberjacks will lean on 2013 second team All-Big Sky selection, Kaitlen Parsons and reigning Big Sky Freshman of the Year, Savana Bezdicek as major contributors.
The tournament will be a great opportunity for NAU golf to compete against some of the best in the country. Five of the 18 competing teams finished last season ranked in the top-50 of the nation. UC Davis finished 25th, Pepperdine finished 29th, SMU finished 36th, TCU finished 44th and San Jose State rounds out the group at 50th.
This year marks the fifth year the Golfweek Women's Conference Challenge has been contested, and the fourth year it's been played at Red Sky. Pepperdine is the only two-time winner in tournament history (2009, '12). Of the 18 teams in this week's field, eight teams have never played at Red Sky before (Florida International, Indiana, Arkansas-Little Rock, James Madison, Boston College, Morehead State, Illinois State, Northern Arizona).
Scoring updates will be posted on the NAU athletics website daily. Live scoring for this event can be found at GolfStat.com.

treating a tank that had mysterious sick fish
I have a low-tech tank that was doing well until I added some fish from my trusted LFS- yes, I quarantined them, but apparently not long enough.
Anyhow, I added a school of six microrasboras, and within one week of adding them, they died, and took all my ember tetras with them. it was apparently ich, as my housesitter said they all looked like they had salt on their fins. However, I was out of town and she had directions to feed and do lights only, as she isn't a fish person. There are galaxy rasboras, white cloud minnows and cherry shrimp left in the tank, all apparently healthy.
My question is this: since I didnt have photos of sick fish, and I dont have their tiny bodies, I dont really know what happened in there. I am wondering if and how to treat the tank, and is there a way to determine if the parasite or fungus is still present in the system without putting new fish in there to test?
Thanks, P.P.
Hmmm, thats quite a strange set of occurences. It could very well have been ich, though there are a small set of alternate diseases it could also be. The fact it has not affected your WCM & CPD is a stranger part of the dilemma. If it were my tank, I would let sleeping dogs lie and wait out a good couple of months and watch the tank carefully for any signs of a reoccurance. Ich can not live for very extended periods without a host, so they should eventually die off and the tank should once again be 'clear'. Trying to treat might comprimise and threaten your shrimp population as high temps and Ich treatment are not what I'd call 'shrimp safe'. After a month or two you should be fine.
Ok, thanks. It is really weird, I was sure those other rasbora would go down too, the WCM is the eternal fish, he is super old and has moved house three times so far.
I will wait a few months then,!proceed with regular maintenance only and see what happens.

This article is part of our guide to Teaching Science at Home.
Most parents have never heard of Arduino, but is an absolutely excellent option to bring science concepts into your home in a way that will captivate the whole family.
If your child is fascinated by robots, computers and how things work, Arduino is a brilliant way to feed their curiosity. And don't think they have to be high schoolers to take part–the kits we looked at are suitable for kids (and adults) of all ages.
What is Arduino?
Massimo Banzi, co-founder of Arduino, was kind enough to break down the basics for us in a special interview. Check out this great information and keep scrolling to find some awesome starter kits to get you going.
For parents who are not familiar with Arduino, can you explain what Arduino is and the benefits of bringing this technology to their kids?
Arduino is a small computer the size of a credit card. It's the same kind of computer that powers everyday objects like microwave ovens, washing machines… It's very simple to learn and program. It comes with great documentation and an amazing community. It's very easy to build fun and useful projects with it. People have build airplanes and helicopters with it. There is an Arduino reading sensor data in the large hadron collider. there are 3d printers that use it as their "brain". It has enabled hundreds of thousands of people to learn how to program and how to build amazing interactive objects without any background in electronics or computing.
Since Arduino can be confusing to the beginner–what is the best way to begin exploring it with children?
Recently we have launched a new Arduino board called Esplora. It's more children friendly as it is shaped like a game controller and comes with a bunch of sensors ready to use already mounted on the board. There are quite a lot of projects that can be done with it without wiring anything up just by using the on board sensors. Out of the box it's pre-configured to act as a controller for the free game Super Tux Cart, then it can be customised to control any software because the esplora can pretend to be a computer keyboard so, for example, when you tilt it on the left side it can simulate the pressure of a series of keys on the computer.
Anne Mahaffey, a mother and engineer from South Caronlina, recently ran a class for kids using the Esplora and the Scratch programming language from MIT. Kids learn to program by creating stories where characters on the screen are animated by the actions they do on their esplora boards.
Anne posted some background on the class here.
Can you point us to the best kid friendly resources online for grasping the fundamentals?
well what's better than a kid herself teaching Arduino ? 🙂 Super Awesome Sylvia publishes a few videos on how to learn electronics and Arduino. Make magazine is also a good resource to learn from. Geek Dad on Wired magazine is also a good starting point.
What youth initiatives involving Arduino are you most proud of? Are you working on/supporting any youth based programs for the near future?
A lot of schools are using Arduino to teach about programming and electronics because it's simple and well documented. We sponsor some classes and workshop preferably in underprivileged places in the world. We have evidence from different countries that the introduction of Arduino and making in general has motivated kids to stay in school and learn useful skills (you can read an interesting story here in the comments Ms Auletta Sauer tells the story of her high school in northern california)
We would love to hear about your favorite Arduino based projects of all time.
they are here
Like with any other subject, the basics can seem confusing at first but the right kit can help you and your child dive into this exciting world and begin developing skills in programming, engineering, mechanics, electronics and robotics.
We were able to take a look at three different options for getting started with kids that will make learning Arduino easy and accessible. Get the basics below and then head over to their respective websites to read more and grab your own Arduino kit.
This kit walks you through the basics of using the Arduino in a hands-on way. You'll learn through building several creative projects. The kit includes a selection of the most common and useful electronic components with a book of 15 projects. Starting the basics of electronics, to more complex projects, the kit will help you control the physical world with sensor and actuators.
The projects in the kit are:
- 01 GET TO KNOW YOUR TOOLS an introduction to the concepts you'll need to use this kit
- 02 SPACESHIP INTERFACE design to control panel for your startship
- 03 LOVE-O-METER measure how hot-blooded you are
- 04 COLOR MIXING LAMP produce any color with a lamp that uses light as an input
- 05 MOOD CUE clue people in to how you're doing
- 06 LIGHT THEREMIN create a musical instrument you play by waving your hands
- 07 KEYBOARD INSTRUMENT play music and make some noise with this keyboard
- 08 DIGITAL HOURGLASS a light-up hourglass that can stop you from working too much
- 09 MOTORIZED PINWHEEL a color wheel that will have your head spinning
- 10 ZOETROPE create a mechanical animation you can play forward or reverse
- 11 CRYSTAL BALL a mystical tour to answer all your tough question
- 12 KNOCK LOCK tap out the secret code to open the door
- 13 TOUCHY-FEEL LAMP a lamp that responds to your touch
- 14 TWEAK THE ARDUINO LOGO control your personal computer from your Arduino
- 15 HACKING BUTTONS create a master control for all your devices!
We were really shocked by how easy it was to get started with this kit. The book, online resources and included supplies meant completing projects was straight forward. Rather than buying a board and all of the needed components necessary, which can be down right confusing for a newbie, this kit will take you from complete novice to intermediate expert in 15 fun projects–many of which are specially targeted to kids (like the much loved starship interface!).
Find out more about the kit here.
The Esplora differs from all preceding Arduino boards in that it provides a number of built-in, ready-to-use set of onboard sensors for interaction. It's designed for people who want to get up and running with Arduino without having to learn about the electronics first.
The Esplora has the following on-board inputs and outputs:
- Analog joystick with central push-button two axis (X and Y) and a center pushbutton.
- 4 push-buttons laid out in a diamond pattern.
- Linear potentiometer slider near the bottom of the board.
- Microphone for getting the loudness (amplitude) of the surrounding environment.
- Light sensor for getting the brightness.
- Temperature sensor reads the ambient temperature
- Three-axis accelerometer measures the board's relation to gravity on three axes (X, Y, and Z)
- Buzzer can produce square-waves.
- RGB led bright LED with Red Green and Blue elements for color mixing.
- 2 TinkerKit Inputs to connect the TinkerKit sensor modules with the 3-pin connectors.
- 2 TinkerKit Outputs to connect the TinkerKit actuator modules with the 3-pin connectors.
- TFT display connector connector for an optional color LCD screen, SD card, or other devices that use the SPI protocol.
This board can be used right out of the box without any other components and is perfect for kids to tinker with–only a computer is required for programming the board.
Another great option for right out of the box fun is the Arno Kit from Olympia Circuits. Once again, the only thing you need to get started is your computer.
Learning the basics of electronics and programming is challenging. Learning them while juggling piles of tiny parts, jumper wires, and breadboards is even more difficult. With the Arno, we've gotten rid of the piles of parts. Everything you need to learn Arduino and complete interesting projects in already built in. The board comes fully assembled, ready to plug in with the included USB cable. You can focus on learning how the circuits work and learning the Arduino language. You can tackle the piles of parts once you're ready.
One of the best aspects of the Arno Kit is that is comes with the Learn Arduino with Arno book that makes understanding the whole process super simple and provides a ton of great experiments that can be done with the Arno and provided USB cable.
The book that accompanies the Arno board as part of the Arno Kit is much more than an instruction manual for connecting a board. We've grown to expect hardware without a good reference on how to use it. You can spend hours searching the internet for simple answers. This isn't a way to start your journey into Arduino. We know you'll have a great time with Arduino if you get over the learning "hump". This book gives intros into electronics and programming, then it explains how to program and understand over 40 sketches. You'll start with things like blinking and fading an LED. Then advance through more interesting ways to program outputs. There are sketches that take advantage of the USB capabilities of the Arno. And lots of sound, you'll have blast with the piezo as an output (and input).
Read more about the Arno Kit here.

When City of Heroes shut down, the community was left in limbo and disappointed with the way NCSoft handled it. What are your thoughts on that now? Its been quite a few months since this happened.
Cameron: City of Heroes was and still is their property so it was their legal right to do whatever they wanted with it. The reason we are doing what we are doing is because when they pulled it off the market there was a huge hole there. So were seeking to fill that space so the community that now wants to dwell in that now-empty niche will have place to go back to.
How do you think the community is taking it as far as wanting to see a new project is concerned? Do you think people are really sticking around and wanting to see the Phoenix Project happen?
Cameron: Generally speaking, yes. We are seeing a lot of people who have tried other things and keep coming back to see what were doing, saying they are really lookingforward to something that will fill that void in their lives.
Jim: You hit the nail on the head. You have to look at the whole thing that we are dealing with here; the stages of death, grief and acceptance. Weve moved pretty far through that process as a community. I think everyone has finally accepted it. However, there is the gap of what is still needed and everyones going to find a game they want to play to fill the meantime. Yes, we do have quite a community that keeps checking back, theres still enthusiasm and you know, I think were all pretty grateful for that.

Discussion in 'TiVo Roamio DVRs' started by Surrealone, Aug 27, 2013.
If I VPN my ipad to my home network would streaming work?
Since the tivo box would see a local network IP, it might work. Try it out.
yes that's what I was thinking too. I will have to spend some time this weekend and play around with that.
It's unlikely. There was a long discussion of getting the original stand-alone stream to stream video to an iPad outside the home. There were some half-baked workarounds developed, but nothing was reliable. The current method Tivo uses to allow various components to talk to each other on your home network is typically lost over a VPN connection, so the iPad can't see the Tivo devices in your home, even though it's VPN'ed "into" your network.
You can use VPN. What you need to do is allow the WINS packets and all other 'discovery-type' packets through the VPN. If you can setup both ends, it works. Bonjour is a must. And I used Win Server 2003 VPN server. This was quite a while ago, in Series 3 days when program sharing between Tivos just started being used
I don't think it is possible anymore. They've added way too many layers or security
I have a feeling it might be a port block if anything. I'm going to try shooting a few arrows at this and see what sticks

- Tapering (to more than 80-feet in length)
- Long panel factory manufacturing (up to 85 feet)
- On-site fabrication of factory-quality straight or curved panels is available
The Installer's Advantage
- Sleek, balanced, proportional look that complements any design
- No interlocking male/female seams to worry about gives installers better control over when and where panels are installed
- Install panels in either direction, or both directions, at any time
- Start from any point on the roof
- Run simultaneous crews to cut completion time in half
- Work around roof protrusions and other obstacles
- Mechanical seamer quickly and permanently seals the seam caps at a rate of 60 feet per minute, and runs in both directions
- Reduces waste since each piece of a cut panel can be used for the opposite sides of a detail condition
- If a panel needs to be removed or replaced, ONLY that panel needs to be removed or replaced – not every other panel between it and the roof's edge
- 20-year finish warranty for Kynar 500® fluorocarbon coatings
- Materials and workmanship warranty
- Watertight warranty for qualified applications

Engraving of this quality, with its incredibly crisp detail, is best appreciated with a magnifying glass, but the richness it adds to the document can be understood at a glance!
These are our own designs, created "exclusively" for our customers' needs. They are not "stick on" seals, but are engraved into the paper, exactly what you would find on a diploma for a prestigious school or university. All Exclusive seals are the same size; approx 1.75" x 1.75"
"What is involved in creating seals such as these?"
We've designed these "Exclusive" seals specifically for our customers. Small schools normally can't afford the expense of a set of dies to do this kind of work, which can cost over $500. The very cost of the dies is the reason that this process is used on diplomas: it makes them difficult to duplicate. The company we work with to do the engraving has won world-wide acclaim for their fine work. It is an art form and is done in the traditional method -- the engraving die is engraved by hand under magnification. It is not a modern "imitation" of engraving.
Once we completed the design work for these seals, a set of dies had to be made for each one. The dies, made of magnesium, are created using the artwork as a master so that the various steps of printing will line up perfectly. The foil die (used to lay down the area of foil onto the paper) has the image raised above the surface of the plate. The engraving die, on the other hand, has the image to be printed etched beneath the surface of the die, and has a mating "counter," which is a mirror image of the engraving die. The engraving die, with its extremely fine detail, is created by a craftsman who works with hand tools and a magnifying lens.
Once the dies are created, the process of actually creating the seals requires a number of steps -- from laying down the foil to burnishing the finished product -- and with each successive step, the registration must be absolutely exact. The presses used to do the actual engraving on your diploma are machines which exert tremendous pressure. Engraving ink (a very opaque, dense ink which contains metal) is squeegeed across the surface of the die so that it fills the tiny recesses. The mating plates come together with the paper between them so that the ink is pressed into the surface of the foil and paper. This is why an engraved seal is actually raised above the surface of the paper. If you examine the back of the diploma, you will see the impression made by the "counter" to the engraving die, which pushes up, into the paper from the bottom to provide the pressure needed to release the ink.

MALIBU, Calif. — The Pepperdine Waves used a pair of big innings to take a 12-2 victory against Long Beach State Tuesday afternoon at Eddy D. Field Stadium. With the offense giving him plenty of support, starter Matt Maurer didn't have to be perfect. That didn't stop Maurer from throwing six scoreless innings, allowing only […]

Emily: I just can't keep pretending that I want to be part of it anymore.

A Happy Helper
One day I was up in the tree fort in our backyard, when all of a sudden I noticed that our neighbors' cat, Kiska, had escaped from her home. I knew that the neighbors didn't want her to be outside because she could run away. I was able to catch Kiska. I felt happy that I had helped Kiska be safe so she could go back to her family. This experience helped me gain a testimony of faith in Jesus Christ because He said I should help others and think of their needs before my own and that I would feel happy if I did.
Book of Mormon Courage
Every morning I read the Book of Mormon with my family. I have learned about Ammon, Nephi, and Abinadi. All of them stood up for what they believed and didn't give up, even when it got hard.
One day, I was playing with two friends. One of my friends said there was no God. Then she said to my other friend, "What do you think?" My other friend said, "I don't want to be part of this."
I stood up like Abinadi and told her all about God. It made me happy to bear my testimony. I am grateful the scriptures gave me courage.
I Will Only Read Things that Are Pleasing to Heavenly Father*
While I was looking for something to read I found a book that I knew was really interesting, but I also knew that it had a bad part in it because my brother had accidentally read it before. I really wanted to read the book, but I had a feeling telling me not to. I knelt down and asked Heavenly Father to help me find a better book, and as soon as I looked up I saw a book that I really liked. I know Heavenly Father leads us to right choices and will always answer our prayers.
Cookie Kindness
On Easter weekend in 2004, when I lived in Utah, a very special person in my ward passed away. It was Sister Marjorie Hinckley, President Hinckley's wife. My mom was asked to make a dessert to take to the family dinner after the funeral. We decided to make my two favorite cookie recipes. I wanted to help my mom make the cookies, so we worked hard. While we were making them, I had a wonderful, warm, happy feeling inside. It was the Spirit letting me know that what I was doing was right. My mom and I talked about how Jesus taught that when we serve others, we are really serving God.
The next morning we put all the cookies on a platter to take to the dinner. I put on my white shirt and tie to deliver the cookies. I hope they helped make the Hinckley family feel better.
Hole Honesty
One day I was in our kitchen and my foot felt funny. I started rubbing it on the wall. After a while I started bouncing it, but I did it too hard and made a hole in the wall. Later that week as I was getting ready for bed, I heard my mom and dad talking about the hole and wondering how it got there. Before I went to bed, I told my mom that I made the hole. I was honest like Jesus is honest. It felt good to choose the right.

Analogies and the death of Bin Laden
That's the title of my latest column over at The Catholic Thing. Here's how it begins: N. T. Wright, former Anglican Bishop of Durham, is one of the foremost theologians and biblical scholars in the world. Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at the University of St. Andrews, his work on the doctrine of justification, controversial among Evangelical Protestants, is in many ways remarkably close to the Catholic view. For this reason, Professor Wright's work, much to his chagrin, has b … [Read more...]

Next week I will be at Princeton University participating in what promises to be an outstanding conference: Law, Liberty and Virtue (May 16-17, 2011). I will present a paper as part of the panel on Tuesday afternoon (May 17), "Revisiting Hadley Arkes's First Things on its 25th Anniversary." The other panel members include Hadley P.

(HT: Bill Glennen)From the LA Times: On summer nights in the mid-1960s, while black-and-white television crackled elsewhere in his Staten Island home with news of Southern violence and Vietnam, Bobby Lasnik would stretch out in his bedroom to let the righteous soundtrack of the civil rights movement waft into his impressionable teenage soul.Tuned in to WBAI-FM, coming across the water from Manhattan, he heard baleful laments about injustice that he would carry with him for a … [Read more...]
When conspiracy theories coalesce: the truther-birther-deather.
Consider the rare political conspiracy theorist known as the truther-birther. He not only believes the wrong guy, bin Laden, was killed, but that the wrong guy, President Obama, ordered the killing. And now we can add to this conspiracy theory stew the newly-minted, "deather," who doesn't believe bin Laden was really killed. Thus, you can in theory have someone who believes that the wrong guy issued an order to kill a guy that didn't die for a crime he did not commit. … [Read more...]
Al Mohler: Killing of bin Laden was just, but not an act of justice. Is this possible?
Albert Mohler, Jr., president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, makes this statement in a recent blog post on the killing of Osama Bin Laden: "The death of bin Laden was fully justified as an act of war, but not as an act of justice. The removal of a credible threat to human life — a clear and present danger to human safety — is fully justified, especially after such an individual has demonstrated not only the will, but the means to effect murder on a massive scale."I'm not sure what to … [Read more...]

That is the title of a 2006 article I published in the Journal of Medicine & Philosophy (31: 177-203).

Boonin's defense of abortion consists almost exclusively of so … [Read more...]

Recent events have provided you with a wonderful gift that only someone with your abilities and talents can take proper advantage. Now that birtherism is dead (thanks to you, of course), and trutherism is relegated to a few kooky academics, this is the moment of truth for the birth of deatherism, whose working slogan should be, "Where is the death certificate?" They say Osama Bin Laden is dead. But do we really … [Read more...]

That's the title of an article I published in 2006 in the Notre Dame Journal of Law, Ethics & Public Policy (vol. 20, pp. 455-471). Here's how it begins (notes omitted): Nominees to the federal bench, like all citizens, have beliefs. These beliefs include everything from what they were taught in law school to what they know about history or mathematics or what they may have learned in church or synagogue. And yet, it is the latter beliefs that are singled out for special scrutiny by the Un … [Read more...]

Uhoh I've drawn the Finns to the thread. I will try to tread lightly.

I remember that Finland was better in the final game (I don't remember the first) and I was cheering for them. Finland may have played better in that tournament too. Does not mean that they were the best team, or that they were better than Russia. The sample size was very, very small. Far to small to say that anything was proven. It does not mean that Finland was not the deserving winner.

Yep, you're right. Not only does the better team on paper not always win a series, but the better team does not always win a series either. Still, the huge disparity in talent between that Finnish team and a few other teams at that tournament would make them very, very unlikely to win if it was a similar format to the Stanley Cup playoffs (which would be a better indicator of what team is better). They seemed to come together as a team much better than the other teams last year, and that advantage would likely be gone over a larger sample size. You are right that it was an upset, and there is a reason for that. The Oilers could beat the Bruins in a single elimination tournament, or even a seven game series, but they still would not be a better team.
Also, am I right to assume that Russell will play tomorrow?

Check any online electronics store and you will surely get a wide variety of solar chargers promising to charge everything to a cellphone to a laptop. Portable solar chargers have seen a lot of development from solar chargers that didn't have any onboard battery or chargers that took a lot of hours, sometimes even days, to recharge their onboard batteries. Innovating once more for the sake of the environment, Powertraveller has come up with another solar charger – the Solarmonkey Adventurer.

Green Accessories for Smartphone and Tablets
Environment Conservation
People love listening to music on their mobile phone, smartphones as well as tablets. Generally to listen to music a bit louder the devices are connected to an amplifier or a stereo or some loud speakers. These all mobile accessories are generally not very eco friendly in nature. An innovative idea to make loud speakers out of clean and green eco friendly material is the iBamboo Speaker. This speaker dock is really cool as it does not use any extra electricity. The carved bamboo amplifies the volume of the music on the smartphones naturally.
Nowadays one hears a lot of talk about being environmentally friendly or going green to save the environment. It feels like a new fashion or a trend in the market. Sadly for the environment it is not just a trend. It is a very serious issue that we face today and our environment has suffered some serious damages due to human activities especially in the last century or so. More degradation of the environment due to our day to day activities may lead to catastrophic consequences.
Fashionable Eco Friendly Brands
Sustainable Living
Nowadays it is essential that all human beings contribute towards a more sustainable living. Sustainable living is a concept that means each and every organization, company and individual on this planet should make conscious efforts to reduce the use of resources and reduce causing harm to the environment that we live in, in any way that is possible for them
"Green" Colors: Environmentally Friendly Paints
These days one has to make decision regarding the type of color to be used for painting one's house. Some of the main paint brands present a low or zero volatile organic compounds (VOC). VOCs are the vapors arising from the products used in making paints which pollute both the indoor and outside environment during and after painting.
Most interesting human powered electricity generators
Human power can be put to great uses and it can even save on the electrical energy that you utilize for running several household appliances. Are you thinking how would it get possible? Well, there are various types of power generating devices that can be built to run on human muscle power and body energy. Some such devices include chargers, generators, and similar gadgets that supply the converted electrical energy from human power to run the appliances. There are a few of these interesting devices that have been developed for generating small amounts of electricity to be used in emergency situations. Check out what kind of devices have been developed to work on human power.
Green Energy Options introduces Chorus PV Monitoring Device
No matter hard we gainsay but lamping or observing the consumption of electricity in everyday use is something that most of us tend to overlook. Although there's a slew of energy tracking systems that help get an eyeful of which appliance consumes electricity at its largest, complete efficacy and precision are certain attributes that most of them would lack. Hence, to help users deal with that, Green Energy Options has just unveiled its latest Chorus PV monitoring device which will enable homeowners with PV panels to see both generation and consumption levels of electricity. Great, isn't it?
Air Drop Concept filters the air using living plants
Oh yes, we've seen quite a number of aesthetically designed planters that beautify the surroundings in nothing else but a greener way. But, we have not really seen anything that sanitizes the air while being firmly seated in an intriguing looking chassis. Well, the new Air Drop Concept by Jillian Tackaberry precisely represents such an amazing amalgamation of air filtration and pretty looks.
Street Seats for Design Museum Boston re-imagines the Public Bench
While most generally stay swamped with designing advanced yet eco-friendly gadgets, a team of ingenious designers has gone a mile extra in ensuring environmental sustainability – but in a truly unique way. Well, an intriguing collaboration between Rion Philbin and Stevie Meder has now conceptualized 'Street Seats' – a competition entry for Design Museum Boston.
Nasa-Inspired Filter can turn Coca Cola into Water
Ok, this might sound too good to be true – particularly to those who would love to reap the benefits of fresh water by drinking coca cola. Sounds so not usual, doesn't it? Well, to actually catch unawares, OKO has recently developed a highly unique yet advanced filtration system which grabs attention for amazingly turning coca cola into water. Like really?

Post subject: Post Coach Mock Offseason (Updated Combine)
Chip Kelly
Pat Shurmer
Billy Davis
Cuts/Not Resigned:
Demetress Bell
King Dunlap
Mike Patterson
Darryl Tapp
David Sims
Matt Reynolds
Julian Vandervelde
Matt Kopa
Evan Moore
Trent Edwards
Brandon Hughes
Michael Vick
Free Agency:
Glover Quin, S
Instantly upgrades our terrible secondary, as long as he stays healthy.
Keenan Lewis, CB
Not the best corner available, but solid starter in Pittsburgh and should be no different in Philly
Philip Wheeler, LB
Wheeler earned a contract this season with an outstanding performance but he will most likely test the free agency like the rest of the Raiders agents
Desmond Bryant, DT
There is a need for a NT or big body for the new defensive scheme, and he will produce.
Donald Thomas, G
Showed glimpses of ability when filling in for a very solid Patriots offensive line
Dennis Dixon, QB
He may help the offense transition more smoothly if Foles fails
NFL Draft
Eagles trade 4th overall and 2014 2nd round pick to Jets for 9th and 2014 1st round pick after the 49ers trade their 1st round pick and a conditional for Darelle Revis
Eagles trade 2nd to Tennessee for 2nd and 3rd
Eagles trade Trent cole and Tennessee's 3rd to Miami for 2nd
1st round, Pick 9:
Dion Jordan, DE/OLB
Chip Kelly takes his man out of Oregon and fills a need with a very versatile player, in the new scheme Jordan can be used at either end of the linebacking group as a down rusher or standing blitzer
2nd Round, pick 40:
Jesse Williams, NT
The Eagles realize that they can trade back and still get Williams so they deal the 35th pick to Tennessee so they can get Barrett Jones
2nd Round, Pick 42:
Tyler Eifert, TE
Eifert provides a desperate need as a Red Zone target with size and strength in the endzone, and the Eagles ship out Cole who fills an immediate need for the Miami Dolphins
3rd round:
Jonathan Cyprien, S
He is quickly shooting up the draft boards, and if he went to a school with more exposure could've been a 1st or 2nd round pick.
3rd round, Chicago pick:
David Quessenberry, OT,G,C
Quessenberry adds depth to the entire front line, and is a solid depth pick
4th round:
Tyrann Mathieu, CB
Mathieu is a high risk/reward pick for a secondary that needs a lot of help, and if he panes out, could become a star
5th round:
Cobi Hamilton, WR
Hamilton has great size and ability and adds some well needed depth to a struggling wide receiver core
6th round:
Xavier Nixon, OT
Adds depth to offensive line, solid starter at Florida
7th round:
Brad Wing, P
Starts punter competition with McBriar
7th round, compensatory:
Michael Mauti, LB
Mauti is returning from another injury and may need some time off, but when healthy he is a dominant ILB
Depth Chart:
(N)-New signing

I like it except for a few things.....
I wish there was a way to trade up into the first and get Jessie Williams without having to trade that far back in the first...picking a Moore or Warner with that #4 would be huge and still getting Williams late in the fist.
Also, its going to be sad to see Cole go, but with the 3-4, I guess you have to make sacrifices.
I also wouldnt mind the Eagles going after Brandon Albert or another big lineman in FA.
Overall though, I like that you have addressed the D!!!

Nice to see us a get a 2014 1st in a trade.
Like the draft. Not bad mock overall.
In the future, showing all of the cap figures (cuts, new contracts, FAs, draft picks) would be nice. Plus adding pictures is always a good touch.

The draft is a lot like one I've been working on, but not a fan of keeping Nnamdi or DRC. I also think Cyprien goes in the second but its not a major issue.

The only reason I kept nnamdi was because he can provide some tutelage for some of the younger guys coming in but if he really slips up he's an easy cut before the final roster. I know a lot of people want to see DRC gone after pretty much quitting on the team, but Davis did coach him in Arizona when he was a pro bowler, and there are few options that are comparable to talent in the free agency. I think Kelly can control his work ethic and is the sort of firey no nonsense coach that can keep him and the other younger players on a short leash similar to the egos at Oregon.
On the note of offensive lineman in free agency, most of the coveted free agents will sign for a big fee, like Levitre and others, and thats if they don't get tagged, which Brandon Albert probably will. Thomas was backup to both the guard positions in New England but if he didn't have two great guards in front of him, would have easily started, which he showed when he stepped in for injuries.
Cole has been a staple of this defense, but he has been slipping and it showed that he relied a lot on the production and pressure of the rest of the D-line to get to the quarterback rather than be the playmaker he was in the past, and think of Cole being traded for Eifert who will immediately help with scoring and will instantly become a focus for defensive secondaries, relieving pressure from our undersized, but speedy WRs and allowing the redzone offense to keep the defense on their feet when the main option was always McCoy, or an ill advised fade to WRs who don't have the size to out play the secondary in such close space

if this happened i would be very happy.. especially getting two first round picks in a what is expected to be a very strong class in 2014 if Foles doesnt work out next year you get to choose from Teddy Bridgewater, David Fales, Jadeveon Clowney, etc.
Still bleed green.. Just hoping for the best changes this offseason

I'd love if we got him, but Lewis is a RFA and I doubt Pittsburgh lets him go. Not a bad FA.
Draft is solid....But you're dreaming if you think Eifert is going to last til the 42nd pick. Dude is a first rounder...especially after his combine.
I don't really like Cobi Hamilton...I'd rather upgrade our WRs with someone like Wilson if we take a late rounder...

I like it.
Desmond Bryant wouldn't be a NT he would be a 5-Tech.
I would prefer if we waited with the 1-Tech NT instead of grabbing Jesse Williams.
But I like everything else about the mock.

I just wanna say I also loved this mock, but I also love how absolutely no one caught and/or cared that he re-signed Vick and left him off the depth chart haha I guess everyone still doesn't want Vick on the team. Anyways, great draft dude and I love your FA signings. Nnamdi/DRC won't be here, but even then I could live with Lewis/Mathieu/Boykin as the CBs we have, atleast for next year. I really think Mathieu is gonna be a nice surprise for a team ala Janoris Jenkins and become a legit starter.

Kristin Cavallari Announces Brand New Jewelry Line
Continuing to expand her merchandising horizons, Kristin Cavallari has announced her brand new line of jewelry.
The "Laguna Beach" starlet teamed up with Glam Boutique for a new range of necklaces, rings, and bracelets that target bargain shoppers with their $7.00-$100.00 price range.
In a recent interview, Kristin explained that her maiden voyage into the jewelry realm (launching February 2013) has been nothing but positive so far.
"It represents my style. I like layered stackable pieces. I was very involved in creating it. I wouldn't put my name on something unless I was," she gushed.

Els has won the event - which begins on Thursday - six times, but has a mixed record when playing Woods.
Els said: "Tiger is an unbelievable talent, but I think players should play their own game."
Woods, who has been paired with Shaun Micheel in the first round, is chasing his sixth straight tournament victory.
The South African was paired with Woods as the leading group for the third round of the Open at Hoylake.
Both came away with 71s - although Els ended up third to eventual winner Woods.
"When I played with him at the Open in the third round I tried to play my own game," added Els.
"He was hitting irons off every tee and I was playing the course the way I did it in the first two rounds, trying to play it aggressively and hit some drivers - basically try to play my own way."
Els begins his World Match Play quest against the big-hitting Argentine Angel Cabrera.
But the world number seven is already looking forward to bigger battles at Wentworth.
"If I play Woods this week I've got as good chance as ever to beat him because I have got a good record here," said Els.
"I've played some good golf around the course and I've beaten some really excellent players here in the past."
Els, who lost to Adam Scott in a play-off at the Singapore Open last week, was unable to defend his World Match Play title last year because of a knee injury.
But he insists now that the injury is much better than it was.
"I have been trying to get the knee where I don't have to think about it on the golf swing," he said.
"I still feel it every now and again but it is 400% better than it was, say, in March."
Thursday tee-times (all times BST):

A WREXHAM man who launched a hammer attack on his former partner has been jailed for 22 months.
Philip Vaughan Parry, 48, who had been living in a tent close to Wrexham Maelor Hospital, was due to go on trial at Caernarfon Crown Court last month but he changed his plea at the last minute.
He accepted assaulting 35-year-old Katie Jane Garcia on November 3 causing her actual bodily harm.
Miss Garcia received treatment in hospital for a broken nose and other injuries including swelling to the head after being attacked in the tent.
Parry had a substantial criminal record including for common assault and in the 1990s there were convictions for causing actual bodily harm.
His last conviction had been for burglary in January last year, when he received a 50-week prison term.
Sitting at Mold Crown Court yesterday, Judge Niclas Parry jailed him for 22 months and made him the subject of a restraining order not to approach Miss Garcia and not to attend the Maelor Hospital unless in an emergency.
The judge said it was a serious assault on a vulnerable victim, who suffered nasty facial injuries.
Parry had previous convictions for violence but the judge said he also took into account his own difficulties and vulnerabilities.

BLACKSBURG, VA. – Trailing 9-3 heading into the eighth, Campbell rallied for 11 unanswered runs, including five in the 10th inning to win in come from behind fashion at Virginia Tech Wednesday night.
Campbell improved to 28-14 on the season with its second win over an ACC opponent in two days, while Virginia Tech falls to 18-22-1 overall.
The Camels scored three in the eighth on Elijah Trail's bases-clearing triple to the gap in right-center, bringing CU within three at 9-6.
Campbell again loaded the bases in the ninth when Steven Leonard moved the Camels station to station, plating a run. John Reilly then scored on a Matt Nadolski groundout, and CU tied it up when Danny Pardo scored on a wild pitch, making it 9-9.
After a scoreless bottom of the ninth, Campbell opened the 10th with six hits wrapped around one out, the second being a RBI bunt single from Kyle Prats to put the Camels on top 10-9.
Two batters later, John Reilly singled again on a RBI bunt, bringing Prats around. Pardo followed with a RBI base hit and Steven Leonard tacked on two more with a single to center, making it 14-9 Camels on 11 unanswered runs.
Bobby Thorson held the Hokies in the bottom of the 10th to secure the win, striking out one.
James Darcy (1-0) picked up the relief win, pitching two scoreless innings with three strikeouts and a walk.
Aaron McGarity (0-3) took the loss for VT, allowing a run on two hits in an inning.
Campbell led 3-0 after the first. Danny Pardo led off the game with a base hit to left and Steven Leonard reached on a hit by pitch, Matt Nadolski tripled off the wall in center to score the pair and Matt Parrish added a third with a sacrifice fly to right.
The Hokies answered with a run in the third, with a Mark Zagunis sacrifice fly scoring Logan Bible, the first of five-straight innings with a run for Virginia Tech.
Bible and Saige Jenco knocked in runs in a 2-run seventh for the Hokies, capping off the VT scoring, who also scored three in the sixth.
Leonard, Nadolski and Trail each drove in three for the Camels in the win, with Leonard going 4-for-5 and Trail picking up two hits, a triple and a double.
Pardo went 3-for-5 with a RBI and scored three times. Reilly also scored three runs in the game, going 2-for-3 and adding a RBI. Will Albertson was 2-for-2, scoring twice.
Bible paced the Hokies with a 3-for-3 night, driving in and scoring three times with two walks. Jenco also drove in two, while Phil Sciretta scored two times.
Campbell starter Hector Cedano pitched three innings, allowing a pair of runs on four hits with three strikeouts and a walk.
Kit Scheetz, the VT starter, allowed three runs on seven hits with three strikeouts.
After a week break for exams, the Camels will return to Jim Perry Stadium, hosting North Carolina A&T on April 30 at 6 p.m. Campbell will welcome Gardner-Webb on Friday, May 2, beginning a three-game Big South series. Friday's opener will be broadcast live on ESPNU.

To be a missionary or a health care worker who tends to the poor has always required an admirable level of compassion, but now in West Africa it also requires remarkable courage.
An outbreak of the terrifying Ebola virus in several West African nations is putting those who care for its victims at great risk. Some, such as Liberia's top health official, Dr. Samuel Brisbane, have already paid with their lives.
Others have contracted the disease and are struggling to survive. Two are Americans affiliated with the Boone-based missionary group Samaritan's Purse.
One of them is Nancy Writebol of Charlotte. Writebol and her husband, David, had been working in Liberia and chose to stay on despite the Ebola threat.
Nancy Writebol, a hygienist, decontaminated those entering and leaving the Ebola care area at the hospital. She is now gravely ill and being treated in the Liberian capital of Monrovia. She is being kept in isolation, and her husband cannot directly comfort her.
Also infected is Dr. Kent Brantly, a 33-year-old medical director for the Ebola care center on the outskirts of Monrovia run by Samaritan's Purse. Brantly, of Fort Worth, Texas, is in serious condition but recognized his symptoms early and has a better chance of surviving. The highly contagious virus has killed nearly 700 people in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone since the outbreak surfaced earlier this year.
In a painful contrast to the compassion and courage showed by Writebol and Brantly, fear of Ebola has panicked some local residents who blame health workers for the spread of the disease. Health workers have been threatened and blocked from entering some villages where infected people are.
Despite the threats of disease, Writebol and Brantly stayed to help. May their good deeds be matched by the good fortune of recovery.

European leaders are now convinced that imposing harsher sanctions on entire sectors of the Russian economy is worth the price they'll pay (literally) on the homefront. And the White House yesterday announced the U.S. is also preparing sanctions targeting the broader Russian economy. President Obama says the sanctions with "bigger bite" will make a weak Russian economy even weaker.
We'd like to think it will all make a difference to Vladimir Putin, but that view seems optimistic in the extreme.
Sanctions imposed thus far have done little to deter Putin or his proxies battling in eastern Ukraine, even in the wake of global condemnation for the downing of a civilian passenger jet by Russian-backed separatists.
The U.S. upped the pressure this week by releasing images that point to the locations inside Russia from which artillery has been fired over the border into Ukraine. Russia responded to the release by labeling the satellite images "fakes." But really, what else can Putin's minions say?
The announcement of the sanctions yesterday was accompanied by new demands that Russia end its aggression in eastern Ukraine. But Secretary of State John Kerry himself said the Russians have indicated not "a shred of evidence that they really have a legitimate desire to end the violence and end the bloodshed." Leaving the rest of us with barely a shred of hope.

When Hamas decided to initiate rocket attacks on Israel, it invited the furious reprisal that began earlier this month. Three times since 2006, Israel has responded to aerial assaults on its citizens with fierce counter-attacks, and each time the fighting has come to an inconclusive end that allows its enemies to replenish their arsenals and start planning for the next round.
For that reason, Israel's Security Cabinet unanimously rejected a U.S. proposal for a ceasefire on Friday, though Israel agreed to a 12-hour pause for Saturday. The images from the funerals of Israeli troops are heart-rending. The scenes of horror and destruction in Gaza, gut-wrenching. No one could wish for the people of Gaza to endure prolonged misery.
But it was Hamas that wished for the fighting. First, by attacking Israel, and then by rejecting an Egyptian ceasefire proposal because it wanted its own narrow demands addressed first. That included lifting border restrictions and the release of dozens of former prisoners Israel rearrested in a crackdown on the West Bank after the abduction and killing of three Israeli teenagers.
Throughout the fighting, Hamas has used the civilian population of Gaza as hostages. That is one big reason the terrorist group has worn out its welcome there. It uses populated areas to fire deadly rockets into Israel. U.N. officials have also said they twice found Hamas using abandoned schools to conceal dozens of rockets.
The refusal to agree to a cease-fire more than one week ago, along with the discovery of an extensive network of tunnels leading into Israel, triggered the Israeli ground assault and the determination of its government to achieve a twofold aim: Destroy the tunnels and degrade Hamas' arsenal to render it ineffective.
Without that, Hamas would be exposed as dangerous and useless. Its control of Gaza has only worsened the lives and prospects of Palestinians who live there.
Israel must be allowed to crush the threat from Hamas, not just for a few months or a year (the last ceasefire took effect in November 2012), but for the foreseeable future. The right of self-defense is not negotiable.
While it is putting an end to Hamas, Israel must also do a better job of avoiding civilian casualties. As mentioned earlier, Hamas thrives amid reports of the deaths of women and children under Israeli attacks. It's an integral part of Hamas' strategy. Thus, Israel has both a moral necessity to avoid civilian casualties and an enormous self-interest in ensuring that mistakes resulting in more civilian killings don't happen.
Marginalizing Hamas and reducing its support among Palestinians is another strategic imperative.
The ultimate challenge for Israel is to help provide a better life for Palestinians in the West Bank, giving them a glimpse of a more-peaceful future -- including the return of Mr. Abbas' group to power in Gaza. That, of course, requires victory over Hamas and an end to its destructive power.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities should not be controversial: It requires equal access for the disabled and bans discrimination against them in all countries that sign on. There is no question that the Senate should ratify it. The only issue is why it has any opponents at all.
Modeled after the landmark Americans With Disabilities Act, the treaty has been ratified by 146 countries and the European Union, and has legions of supporters in the United States -- veterans groups of different generations, business and civic leaders. It also has bi-partisan roots: The George W. Bush administration participated in drafting it, and President Obama signed it. Although there are a number of Republicans who oppose it, Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) is an outspoken advocate, as is former Republican Sen. Majority Leader Bob Dole, who was disabled during his service in World War II. Now 91 and using a wheelchair, Dole recently made his second poignant trip to the Capitol to promote the treaty, urging former colleagues to vote for what he called "not a Republican or a Democrat treaty."
In late 2012, many did vote to ratify it -- 61 senators, in fact. But treaties need 67 votes, a two-thirds majority of the Senate. The treaty was opposed by 38 Republican senators, many of whom argued that it would undermine U.S. sovereignty and cede too much decision-making authority to the United Nations. Strong opposition also came from vocal advocates for home schooling who were alarmed by a passage in the treaty that they believe might override parents' ability to make decisions about their own disabled children. In fact, the treaty does nothing of the sort.
The bottom line is that the treaty does not trump or alter U.S. laws or those of individual states. And if there is any lingering doubt of that among skeptics, the treaty's backers in the Senate say they will add clarifying language as part of the ratification process to make sure there are no ambiguities. Senate ratification will bring U.S. influence and innovation to other countries that are in the process of expanding access and opportunity for the disabled. This treaty isn't about parents losing authority over their kids or the U.S. losing sovereignty over its citizens. It's about access for the disabled, and a world in which they can travel and thrive without facing discrimination. That's something we all should want. The Senate should finally ratify this treaty.

Argentina has earned its status as the world's most downwardly mobile nation, and now the Kirchner government seems ready to further damage its economy and the well-being of its citizens. Instead of negotiating a deal with its creditors after recent losses in U.S. courts, Argentina is dancing with another default and trashing America's legal system to boot.
Argentina has until Wednesday to make an interest payment to bondholders or it will officially default for the second time in 13 years. Argentina claims it is willing to pay bondholders who agreed to take less than 30 cents on the dollar in a debt restructuring after its 2001 default. But federal Judge Thomas Griesa has said Argentina can't pay those holders without also paying so-called holdout bondholders who refused to accept the 30 cents and have won a series of U.S. court cases against Argentina. Buenos Aires refuses to pay the holdouts.
Instead, President Cristina Kirchner's government has spent a month running an extraordinary public campaign vilifying the holdouts as well as Judge Griesa and U.S. courts. The hard-to-avoid conclusion is that Argentina is preparing the political ground for a default that it plans to blame on the evil gringos to the north.
"A lot of officials in the United States say its judicial branch is independent," declared Argentine cabinet chief Jorge Capitanich recently. "But it is not independent of the vulture funds because its decisions show clear partiality." The government has taken out full-page ads in American newspapers, including the Journal, attacking the creditors and Judge Griesa by name.
Argentine officials Axel Kicillof and Hector Timerman used a July 3 Organization of American States meeting to denounce the U.S. and call for removing debt restructuring from U.S. courts to some international body that they imagine would be more favorable to government deadbeats. "Default is not an Argentine problem, restructuring is not an Argentine problem, it is a world problem, it is a problem of global capitalism, of the system in which we live," declared Mr. Kicillof.
Argentina had the full run of American legal appeals all the way to the Supreme Court. And it even had the support of the Obama administration, believe it or not, against U.S. creditors. The administration feared the precedent for U.S. interests abroad if a foreign government was forced by U.S. courts to pay the holdout creditors.
Argentina's arguments for failing to negotiate are flimsy. It claims it can't afford $15 billion in potential new debt payments, but in private meetings with Judge Griesa's special master it has sometimes conceded that the real number is closer to $10 billion.
Argentina says even that amount is too burdensome because it would slash its foreign-exchange reserves. But the country recently settled some $16 billion in claims with Repsol and the Paris Club of creditors with little impact on reserves by issuing new bonds or stretching out payments.
The best outcome for all parties, and especially Argentina, is still for Buenos Aires to negotiate in good faith and avoid default. But if it refuses, Judge Griesa deserves support from everyone who cares about the integrity of U.S. financial markets for upholding the law and American property rights.

India reports Mars craft on course
NEW DELHI (AP) — India's Mars orbiter mission has ventured out of Earth's sphere of influence in an attempt to reach the red planet's orbit after a critical maneuver.
The Bangalore-based Indian Space Research Organization says the spacecraft fired its main engine for more than 20 minutes early Sunday, giving it the correct velocity to leave the earth's orbit.
The spacecraft is now on course to encounter Mars after a journey of about 10 months around the sun.
India launched its first spacecraft bound for Mars on Nov.5, a complex mission that it hopes will demonstrate and advance technologies for space travel.
