A 22-year-old Massachusetts protester is so far the only person arrested during convention week and charged with actually carrying a bottle filled with feces to use as a weapon.
Zachary Patrick Grey, a University of Massachusetts student from Marion, Mass., was arrested at 1:40 p.m. Monday after a foot chase, according to a Denver County Court complaint. He dropped the bottle while running, but police said he was preparing to throw it.
The threat of the use of bodily waste in protests has been rumored by police and protesters alike for weeks leading up to the event. Grey said he was holding a bottle of coffee with soy milk in it, not feces, and wasn't even protesting when he was arrested.

Subtitled: Why Women Are Embracing the New Domesticity.
Here's what really gets me–we finally get to a point in history where most men acknowledge that women can have a voice in both their own lives and in the future of our country. And what happens? Women decide to take over the job of telling each other "yer doin' it wrong." Homeward Bound is yet another polemic against women who dare to decide that the corporate world is not for them. Leaving aside everything else in this book, what is the point of continually demonizing breastfeeding? Matchar is so reductionist on the topic that she actually says that since working women are going to quit breastfeeding after three weeks, the huge corporations that own formula manufacturers should get prime product placement in their hospital rooms. It's like saying that since it's really hard to cook for yourself when you're working all the time, that you might as well remove people's kitchens and replace them with giant freezers to store convenience foods.
What is the point of trying anything you'd like to try when it's only going to be a giant failure and make other people miserable watching? Or worse–what's the point of succeeding at something difficult when it's only going to make people like Emily Matchar argue that success is an even bigger problem than failure because then other people might try it too!!! And that's basically how the book goes. She presents what seem to me to be inspirational stories of people who are carving out lives outside of the mainstream, focusing on making things by hand and recovering lost domestic arts. And then she says that these are pointless endeavors because nobody succeeds (except the ones who succeed) and if you do it's at the expense of the poor people who need hipsters to decide what's best for the whole world.
It reminds me of a homeschooling debate I read on an infamous message board for moms, a spinoff of Mothering.com where members castigate anyone who takes the (s)Mothering woo too seriously. A debate on homeschooling kicked off when a member said that she would only respect a homeschooling family if they were also involved in their local public school system. When a homeschooler said that her family pays their taxes as required by law, the response was they were not doing enough, that they should be voting in school board elections and volunteering at fundraisers for the PTA. And then someone else suggested that her time would be better spent–for the good of the world–if she would put her kids in school and then use her homeschooling time to volunteer 20 hours/week at the school. Best of both worlds, she was told–be involved in your kids' education while helping the poor wretches whose parents are just using school as daycare while they work. Being a stay-at-home mom, she's got the time and the energy to be the surrogate mom to a whole classroom. The homeschooling mom shut it down by saying that she doesn't spend 20 hours/week homeschooling and she isn't looking for an unpaid internship.
What is the point of calling another woman's life choices into question? Matchar and Rosin and others like them think they know what's best for all of the rest of us, and when other women decide to rewrite the rules because we have a vision of a better world, we're called traitors and stupid and Nazis. Breastfeeding Nazis, of course, because there's nothing more like genocide than wanting to do things like lower infant mortality rates throughout the world or protect women against breast cancer. Ugh.

Is the Eucharist Really the Body of Christ?
Scripture is so rich and has much to say about the Eucharist. Following is nothing that you may not have already discovered for yourself, but perhaps it might shed some new light and help fill in some of the "puzzle pieces". Consider the words of Jesus in John 6:25-69:
25And when they found Him across the sea they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?" 26 Jesus answered them and said, "Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled. 27 Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father, God, has set his seal." 28 So they said to Him, "What can we do to accomplish the works of God?" 29 Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent." 30 So they said to Him, "What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you? What can you do? 31 Our ancestors ate manna in the desert, as it is written: 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'" 32 So Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." 34 So they said to Him, "Sir, give us this bread always." 35 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst. 36 But I told you that although you have seen (me), you do not believe. 37 Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and I will not reject anyone who comes to me, 38 because I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me. 39 And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything of what he gave me, but that I should raise it (on) the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him (on) the last day." 41 The Jews murmured about Him because He said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven," 42 and they said, "Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph? Do we not know his father and mother? Then how can He say, 'I have come down from heaven'?" 43 Jesus answered and said to them, "Stop murmuring among yourselves. 44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him, and I will raise him on the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets: 'They shall all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me. 46 Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father. 47 Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; 50 this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world." 52 The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us (his) flesh to eat?" 53 Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you do not have life within you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. 57 Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever." 59 These things He said while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum. 60 Then many of his disciples who were listening said, "This saying is hard; who can accept it?" 61 Since Jesus knew that His disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them, "Does this shock you? 62 What if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where He was before? 63 It is the spirit that gives life, while the flesh is of no avail. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe." Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believe and the one who would betray him. 65 And He said, "For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father." 66 As a result of this, many (of) His disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him. 67 Jesus then said to the Twelve, "Do you also want to leave?" 68 Simon Peter answered Him, "Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God."
These words of Christ are hard to believe (in fact, so hard to believe, that many of his disciples left him). Jesus says, "I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh" (John 6:51). The Jews disputed this. Jesus did not back down. Rather than clarifying what He meant (because it was clear), Jesus reiterated four times, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you" (John 6:53), "He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day" (John 6:54), "For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed" (John 6:55), "He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him" (John 6:56). Is it worth the risk to discount what Jesus himself said five times!? Isn't it worth significant prayer and investigation?
It might be suggested that Jesus only figuratively meant what He said. But this can't be. For the Jews, to say figuratively "to eat the flesh and drink the blood" meant to inflict serious injury upon someone, especially by slander or false accusation. Refer to Micah 3:1-4. To interpret the phrase figuratively would mean Jesus was promising everlasting life to those who slander and hate Him. In Mark, when Jesus says, "Take, this is my body" (Mark 14:22), the Hebrew verb "is" could mean either "is really" or "is figuratively". But John clears this up when he writes "He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood…" (John 6:54) by using a verb for "to eat" that is rather crude but quite realistic – not symbolic – meaning "to chew, munch, or gnaw". Jesus literally meant what He said. And note when Jesus said, "This is my body…" (Luke 22:19). He did not say "here is my body" or "this is the symbol of my body", but "this is my body" – this bread is my body.
In order to explain the proliferation of denominations, some have suggested that rather than one visible Church, God teaches in many visible forms through an "invisible" Church. If God actually teaches through many forms, then for fifteen hundred years, He taught all Christians that the Eucharist was His actual body and blood and thereafter He taught a portion of the Christians that it was only a symbol.
Jesus goes on to say in John, "It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh is of no avail; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life" (John 6:63). Jesus is not taking back what He just said – He is not a liar – but rather pointing out that they are judging on a natural level. Jesus has said, "You judge according to the flesh, I judge no one. Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for it is not I alone that judge, but I and He who sent me" (John 8:15-16). Natural human judgment, unaided by God's grace, is unreliable. But God's judgment is always true. Jesus is not speaking of dead flesh, but flesh with the spirit in it, the living body of Christ, the Eucharist. But only through the Spirit, and the drawing of the Father, can we come to understand this. And of course flesh is of avail. If it were not, then Jesus became man for no reason, died for no reason, and rose from the dead for no reason. His flesh profits us more than anyone else's in the world. If it did not profit us anything, then "your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished" (1 Cor. 15:17-18).
Nevertheless, Christ's teaching was too hard for many of his disciples – they rejected His literal statements. "After this many of the disciples drew back and no longer went with him" (John 6:66). Note that Jesus did not stop them. He didn't say, "Come back, that's not what I meant, I was only speaking symbolically". He meant what He said! Jesus didn't even give a symbolic interpretation to His apostles, or indicate that they misunderstood him. Instead, He asked them, "Will you also go away?" (John 6:67). Even though they did not fully understand, Peter, speaking for the twelve, said, "Lord, to whom shall we go?" (John 6:68). It was only later, after the Holy Spirit came upon them, and through faith, that they understood: "But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you" (John 14:26). "When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth" (John 16:13).
The earliest Christians surely believed that the Eucharist was the body of Christ. There are no writings from the early centuries that indicate a symbolic interpretation of Jesus rather than a literal one. Even the Romans charged Christians as cannibals. Consider what Paul says. "Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself" (1 Cor 11:27-29). "To answer for the body and blood" of someone meant to be guilty of a crime as serious as murder. What Paul says only makes sense if the bread and wine became the real body and blood of Christ.
Jesus loves us so much, that He became flesh so that He could die for us. On the day before Jesus died, He instructed Peter and John, "Go and prepare our Passover supper for us" (Luke 22:8). Jesus said to them, "I have greatly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer" (Luke 22:15). And Jesus did suffer and die for us, He is our new Passover lamb, He is "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29). "Christ, our paschal lamb, has been sacrificed" (1 Cor 5:7). But unlike the sacrifice of the Passover lamb, which had to be repeated annually, "Christ was offered up once to take away the sins of many" (Heb 9:28). His sacrifice occurred once for all and cannot be repeated. "We know that Christ, once raised from the dead, will never die again; death has no more power over him" (Rom 6:9). The Eucharist is not a re-killing or re-sacrifice to the Father, but a sharing in the one eternal sacrifice that occurred once for all time.
As you might remember, in the first Passover in Egypt, it wasn't enough to just sacrifice the lamb; it had to be eaten. "That same night they shall eat its roasted flesh with unleavened bread and bitter herbs" (Exodus 12:8). If they had not eaten the sacrifice, they would have found their first-born dead in the morning. Just as it was required to eat the Passover lamb to seal the covenant with God, Jesus commands that we eat His body and drink His blood to seal the new covenant: "Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said 'Take, eat; this is my body'" (Matt 26:26). And just as ancient covenants had to be sealed with blood to signify a new kinship relationship, so did the new covenant. "And He took a cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, saying, 'Drink of it, all of you; for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins'" (Matt 26:27-28). In John 6:60, many disciples could not bear to hear the idea of drinking His blood. Jesus said, "Does it shake your faith?" (John 6:61). Of course it did, for Jewish law said "You shall not eat the blood of any creature, for the life of every creature is its blood; whoever eats it shall be cut off" (Lev 17:14). To partake of an animal's blood was to share in its life. By drinking His blood, we are accepting in our own lives the new covenant. In the new covenant, Jesus "earnestly desired" (Luke 22:15) that we "become partakers of the divine nature" (2 Pet 1:4). Jesus desires us to share in His divine sonship in the most intimate and physical way – by eating His body and drinking His blood. By sharing in His body and blood, we truly become children of God. This is why early Christians called each other brethren, for they say themselves as children of God.
Not only are we to partake of His body, but we are to continue doing so. Jesus said, "This is my body, which is being given for you; do this in remembrance of me" (Luke 22:19). Paul said, "For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when He was betrayed took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it, and said, 'This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.' In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.' For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes" (1 Cor 11:23-26). It is important to note the Hebrew meaning of "remembrance". Remembrance of an event was not simply to remember a distant event, but to participate in the original event by re-presenting it. Jews saw time as vertical rather than horizontal. Remembrance of an event was not merely to recall what "happened", but to re-present what "happens". Remembrance of Passover was not merely a reminder of that distant event, but was also a present event that they themselves participated in, generation after generation. For Moses said "Remember this day on which you came out of Egypt, that place of slavery…On this day you shall explain to your son, 'This is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt'" (Exodus 13:3,8). What the Lord did for me, not them. When Jesus says to "do this in remembrance of me", it is not to just remember the Passover sacrifice of the Last Supper, but to participate in His own Passover sacrifice on Calvary. Paul says, "I speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?" (1 Cor 10:15-16).
Paul also says, "Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of one bread" (1 Cor 10:17). If "one bread" does not refer to the body of Christ then it would indeed need to be a very large piece of bread for all of us to partake. But it is not merely bread, but rather the glorified body of Christ, of which Jesus multiplies daily at the Eucharist. Christ is our High Priest, the "Lamb that had been slain" (Rev 5:6).
Recall what happened on the road to Emmaus after Christ's resurrection: "When He was at table with them, He took the bread and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them. And their eyes were opened and they recognized him; and He vanished out of their sight" (Luke 24:30-31). Jesus loves us so much, that He desires to share himself with us in the most intimate way. He invites us to receive His body, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me" (Rev 3:20). "Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb" (Rev 19:9). "Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God!" (Luke 14:15). Please don't settle for a potluck when Jesus is inviting you to a banquet.
Given everything said above, you might still consider it too implausible that bread could become Jesus. Indeed, it is very implausible—especially if one takes for granted that God became man. It is important to remember that although the Jews expected a Messiah, they didn't expect Him to be God. A Jew would ask, "How could a man be God?" Jews wanted to kill Jesus for even implying such a thing (Matt 26:65). How could a man, who is finite, be God, who is infinite? Nevertheless, God became man. One could just as easily ask, "How could bread—a wafer no less—become God?" Bread is finite, yet God is infinite. But when comparing the finite to the infinite, both bread and man are just as insignificant and just as far from the infinite. Yet God became man. Is it any less plausible that He could not also come under the form of bread?
Jesus loves us so incredibly much, that He wants to be physically and intimately present to us every day. It should be no more difficult to believe that the Eucharist is the body, blood, soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, than it is to believe that God became man. They are both just as implausible. We should not minimize God's infinite love for us just because we cannot understand it with our finite brains.

During our transformation journey, we have used core teams to be the "guiding coalition" for change initiatives and I know many organizations do the same thing. As we began the expansion of Agility to other areas of the company (and to improve our existing Agile framework), we again selected a small group of people to guide the way.
This group of 9 amazing people spanning multiple departments has been a pleasure to work with. While there was some initial but necessary team storming, everyone became committed to the group and gelled to become cohesive, collaborative, and productive.
Real change requires a catalyst – and this team is becoming just that.
As I thought about what has made this group unique and special, the individual qualities making up the team members came to mind:
They are multipliers. These are people who amplify the skills and capabilities of others. Multipliers allow ideas to flow naturally and use input from everyone to generate more ideas. You know you are in the presence of a multiplier when you rarely hear the word "but" and you leave sessions making more progress than you thought possible.
They are lifters. These are people who elevate the spirit and energy of a group. Lifters bring a natural charisma necessary to propel the team through the inevitable rough patches. You know you are in the presence of a lifter when you find its almost impossible to be in a bad mood when you are around them.
They are connectors. These are people who find great joy in bringing people together. Connectors are the "networkers" of the group. They know everybody in the organization and will go out of their way to make sure all the right people are included. You know you are in the presence of a connector when they start inviting other people to take part in creating solutions.
They are thinkers. These are people who, on the surface, may seem quiet and reserved but are in fact, observing and processing everything. Thinkers are often the conscience of the group and will be able to sense thing others can't. They will let the group go off on crazy tangents for a little while but will bring them back to the expected goals after careful thought as they can sense the current direction would not align with the vision. You know you are in the presence of a thinker when they share something two or three steps ahead of everyone else.
It's nearly impossible to find someone with all of these qualities but they should have at least one and ideally, you would include a nice balance of all 4 qualities on the team.

Choosing To Apply: Deciding if the Job is Right for You
Applying for a job in archaeology shouldn't be too different then applying for any other job. You'll find job postings in the typical spots most archaeologists look: Shovelbums, Archaeologyfieldwork.com, USAJobs, your local network, professional organizations like the SAA, SHA, and RPA, and the bar. If you're like most job seekers, you'll throw a bunch of applications at anything that sounds mildly interesting, shipping off the same resume and perhaps the same cover letter if you send one at all, to each job, hoping one of the many will write you back.
But if you want your application to stand out, you need to put energy into each application. And to do that, you should put some energy into answering these questions:
- Why do you want this job?
- What makes you a good fit for this job?
- What makes you a good fit for this place?
Addressing these questions should do three things: first, it will help you decide if the job is a good fit for you. Second, your message in your materials will be consistent and cohesive from your letter to your interview (learn more about cover letters and resumes here). Third, each application will be tailor made for each position, because while some answers might be the same, each job and organization is different. This will all increase your chances of getting noticed.
Why do you want this job?
There are lots of reasons to want a job in archaeology. There are the obvious practical answer: we all need food and shelter. Good materials, however, will include additional reasons that you want a job. Is this filling a gap in your experience? Will it give you a new skill set? Perhaps you want more management experience, or want to break into a new region? Perhaps the sites they are excavating meet an interest or specialty of yours. Maybe you need more Phase III opportunities, or maybe it is an institution that you have always wanted to work for. There are countless reasons, and they are all valid and should inform the materials you are presenting. So challenge yourself to think beyond, "because I need a job."
What Makes You A Good Fit for This Job?
Take note: this question is not "Are you qualified for this job?" That's the wrong question. How do you fit into the job is the right question to ask. Remember, a job description is the idealized candidate. It describes the responsibilities of the job, and then what the employer hopes will land on her desk. In some cases, these qualifications will exclude you. For example, lacking a field school or bachelor's degree might make getting a job in archaeology much more difficult. But for the most part, things like "2–5 years experience" doesn't mean I'm tossing out every application with less than 2 years experience, particularly if you're bringing other things to the table that I want.
So, what makes you a good fit? Make a list. First, go through the job description and list out all the different qualifications and job responsibilities. If you're into analog, put them on notecards, or just type them in a word document. Then, pull out your up-to-date resume, and see what lines up. Write them down. In some cases, you'll find areas where you don't have the qualification. This doesn't mean you are unqualified, it just means that you need to think a bit about how to fill that space with something that is useful. For example, I didn't have much archaeological management experience heading into my current position, but I did manage retail stores. That's valid experience. Think creatively about what parts of your experience may indicate that you will succeed at parts of the job that you may not have direct experience doing, and write those down. Voila, you have answered question 2.
Extra credit: Do a bit of research on the type of job that is listed. Look at what other people you know do in those jobs, ask them what their job is like, get an idea as to what the trends are in the field, and add those things to your list. You may discover that you have additional qualifications that the employer doesn't even know they want. Perhaps the tech job doesn't list GIS, but you have that skill set and you can see how it would be applicable to the role. This could make up for a gap in your experience elsewhere. My current employer didn't know he wanted a social media expert until I told him he did in my cover letter.
If you know anyone who works in the department you're applying to, you should contact them. Get it straight from them what they're looking for in the job. There is nothing worse than not finding out a colleague you know is applying for a job in your department until you read their materials. Put yourself in the best position to succeed. Use your network.
What Makes You a Good Fit for This Place?
This last one will take some research. Understanding why you fit the job is only part of the battle. You also need to demonstrate why you fit the institution and the department you're applying to work for. This is particularly important for mission-driven institutions like museums, schools and universities, non-profits, and even government organizations. But even CRM firms have specific foci, do specific types of work, and do it for specific reasons.
Start with their website, but don't hesitate to dig deeper. Who would you report to? Who does your prospective supervisor report to? What is the organization or departmental mission? Look at reports from their most recent excavations to figure out their methods, the types of sites they work on, and so on. Do they do public programs? How are they funded? How large are their crews? What's their organizational structure? Know these places inside and out.
Then, dig through your professional network. I love using LinkedIn to see who I am connected to at a potential job or institution, or who knows someone at the job I am applying to, or who used to work there. This is where LinkedIn really shows its value. Write those people a note and talk with them. What do they know about the institution? Do they treat their workers fairly? Get the low down on the place. Follow places on Instagram or Twitter to get an idea as to their culture, the type of places they are to work, and see what type of work they do, equipment they use, etc. You never know what you might notice or find out. With this information in hand, you should be able to get an idea as to whether or not this is a place you want to work.
By answering these three questions, you should have a good idea of whether or not you should apply for this job. If you're on the fence, I would encourage you to go for it, particularly if its a lack of qualifications that is holding you back. Again, its much easier for a manager to make up lack of experience then it is to make up for a lack of fit. Most importantly, by doing all this research, you'll be well prepared for the next part of your application process: putting together your resume and cover letter. You'll also be well prepared for an interview. And trust me, it makes a difference when someone applies for a job and they have clearly done their homework. In the next post, I'll give you some ideas about how to make this clear in your cover letter and resume, which is your first step through the door towards a new job!

New evidence on modeling the Phillips Curve and time-varying volatility
This study re-examines the expectations augmented Phillips Curve allowing for time-varying volatility investigated by Ewing and Seyfried (2003) over a longer time period. Though there is evidence of time-varying variance associated with inflation, the inclusion of the conditional volatility in the mean equation of the GARCH-in-Mean specification of the Phillips Curve did not indicate a significant connection between higher levels of inflation attributable to volatility as found by Ewing and Seyfried (2003).

It is 2009. It is time for some review.

I have to inshAllah streamline a few things, and then earn a set amount of money to travel to a few places within the year 2010. It sounds exciting. InshAllah, I will make it sound more exciting. Just give me a few days.

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for company stocks using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.Today30 Days Ago90 Days Ago180 Days

SEOUL, South Korea – Western militaries continue to develop weapons systems that were once the stuff of movies. Just last week, the South Korean firearms company S&T Motiv unveiled its version of the U.S.-Israeli system called the Corner Shot.
Here's the story from Jane's 360:
South Korean firearms developer S&T Motiv, formerly Daewoo Precision Industries, unveiled the second generation prototype of its Korea Special-Purpose Weapon (KSPW) system at the DX Korea 2016 land warfare exposition, which was held in the KINTEX exhibition centre near Seoul from 7 to 10 September.
Modelled after the Israeli-designed, US manufactured Corner Shot system, the KSPW was first announced in 2010 as a joint effort between the company and the state defence research organisation Agency for Defense Development (ADD) with the aim of advancing a comparable indigenous weapon for the country's special forces, which are reportedly also operators of the Corner Shot.
The KSPW is typically outfitted with the S&T Motiv 9 mm calibre K5 automatic pistol, which is remotely triggered via a solenoid, although it can be adapted for use on other popular 9 mm pistols. The company's 2.87 kg K1A 5.56×45 mm calibre short assault rifle (although it classifies the weapon as a sub-machine gun) can be fitted if greater firepower is required, and is capable of a single, three-round burst, or fully automatic fire at a rate of up to 900 rds/min.
The gun carriage module – which is also equipped with a camera and tactical flashlight – can be offset to the left or right by 60° to observe or engage targets located around an obstacle via an adjustable 800×480 pixel resolution LCD monitor without exposing the operator to hostile fire. Unlike the Israeli design, the ADD has stated that the KSPW features an active pixel sensor and a laser target designator that enables rapid target acquisition and aiming.
S&T Motiv's assistant manager for public relations Shawn An told IHS Jane's that development of the latest KSPW design was completed in 2015 and the KSPW is production ready, although an order from the government has yet to materialise due to funding shortfalls.

Rumours began to circulate on Wednesday night when the Manchester United midfielder was spotted with United colleague Mark Wilson at Deepdale during Mark Cartwright's testimonial match against Boro.
However, North End chief executive Tony Scholes insisted that Greening's presence at the match was down to nothing more than his friendships with Richard Cresswell and David Healy.
"We aren't the only club interested in Jonathan Greening, so we mustn't read anything into his presence here last night," he declared.
"It's not the first time he has been to games here. Both he and Mark Wilson are friendly with different members of our squad.
"They wanted to come to the game and we were happy to welcome them here. But that's really as far as it goes."
It is understood that Preston have already tabled a written bid of £2.4 million for Greening and that they are waiting to hear from United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
Scholes added: "At the moment we are just keeping our fingers crossed that he is impressed enough to want to come."
Boro are also understood to have held negotiations with United over the possibility of signing both Greening and Wilson, while Ipswich were another club keen on landing the former.
That interest looks to have petered out, however, with Town boss George Burley revealing: "I made a bid for a Premiership player but it wasn't accepted. The club wanted to sell the player along with another as a package, rather than individually.
"We matched what they were asking for, but they decided not to accept, as another club has made an offer for both players."

Bear Creek rises in section 27 of Herrin Township and flows north into Lake Creek. The bear killed on its banks, about five miles northwest of Marion, fell a victim to the expert marksmanship of Luke Ralls (1802-1848). He came to Illinois in 1822, married Milberry Hunter, and made their home on Bear Creek where he was fanner, cooper, and shoemaker.
Mrs. Ralls was a daughter of Manuel Hunter (1787-1874) who moved into Lake Creek Township in 1826. He was a soldier with General Jackson in 1815, and had a cousin who claimed General Packenham as his target when the flower of the British army charged the cotton bale breastworks at New Orleans. Manuel Hunter and his son George W. Hunter fought the Indians in Illinois with Captain Armstead Holman's company in 1832.
George W. and A. Luke Ralls inherited the farm on Bear creek. Their cousin, Dempsey A. Hunter, was pastor of the Christian church at Herrin in its early days.

Julien Vasseur grew up in the French countryside of Alsace and was always surrounded by farm animals, vegetable gardens, and rustic family cooking as a child. After attending one of France's best culinary schools, he spent 7 years working his way up the top kitchens in Switzerland. Being a young motivated chef, he went onto travel around the world discovering new and exciting cuisines from Asia, The Americas and finally settling in Australia. He has worked as head chef in many restaurants and private chef for elite families in Los Angeles and Sydney.
In 2013, he helped start up Williams-Sonoma's first flagship cooking school in Sydney. He has since realised his passion for teaching cooking after having taught hundreds of classes to people of all ages. With the influence of his grandfather's gourmandise roots and forefathers who were market traders for a living, he is now starting his own culinary adventure from the ground up – The Pop Up Cooking School.

July isn't only the month that hosts the Fourth of July, it is also known for being the National Hot Dog Month. Actually, a record of over 7 Billion hot dogs are consumed between Memorial Day and Labor Day each year according to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council. That means over 818 hot dogs are consumed every single second and that's not just from the contestants of the National Hot Dog Competition. We just really love hot dogs!
Hot dogs are typically wrapped in their classic buns, but there are some of us (and chances are you know someone) that are Gluten Free and can't have the general supermarket buns; not including the other many great summer goodies. The great thing is, there is a company that is entirely Gluten Free! All of their products from pizza, granola to cookies are free of gluten and oh so insanely good and one of those products are hot dog buns!
We can't leave our Gluten Free families, friends and neighbors out of the July hot dog madness! These Classic Hot Dog Buns are thick, soft and actually I thought they were better than regular hot dog buns. They're not just smooshed pieces of bread filled with air, they're actually full delicious buns of bread that kind of reminded me of a smaller version of hoagie. They'd actually hold up better for those saucy Chicago Style hot dogs or if you like to put chili on your dogs, even if you aren't gluten free, these buns are going to hold it without turning into a puddle of mush!
If you are like the rest of us though, you generally BBQ hot dogs alongside hamburgers in the summer. Don't worry, they also have Hamburger Buns! They have Classic Hamburger Buns and even Whole Grain Hamburger Buns!
These are the same thick softness like the hot dog buns. They're actually more like a bakery or gourmet style hamburger bun so they're also great for sandwiches; especially if you like a lot of sauces!
I have to say though, when we received the box of Udi's Gluten Free Foods to try, everyone hoarded around the sweets that were sent. The Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin, Snickerdoodle Cookies and the Dark Chocolate Brownie Bites were treated with some fascination. I wasn't really sure what they would taste like, but I had the biggest surprise when biting into one of the cookies. They tasted more homemade and were insanely delicious; mouth melting heavenly goodness. They were better than anything I'd ever bought at a store. It was so hard holding myself back from just sneaking off with the little container of cookies.
I was, am and will continue to be pleasantly surprised by Udi's. It's really wonderful because I have family members that are gluten free and now it's not so bad when inviting them over for dinner, especially when you have dessert and all the little kids get to have treats and there is always one of them who can't have any. It kind of makes it special to have something to share with them! I know my nephew would be extremely appreciative to know that he wouldn't be left out.
So for this July, our National Hot Dog Month, make sure you don't leave anyone out. Udi's is the leader in Gluten Free Bread and Bakery Products and has such a wonderful expanse of products for gluten free families. You can find Udi's at most Supermarkets, so it shouldn't be hard to pick up while out shopping for your BBQ and Potluck parties!
And before you go picking up all those Udi's goodies, make sure you read up on Hot Dog Etiquette; apparently eating Ketchup on your Hot Dog after the age of 18 is just unacceptable. Ha!
Connect: You can connect with Udi's Gluten Free Foods on their Facebook Page and/or @UdisGlutenFree on Twitter. You can also Pin your favorite Udi's goodies on Pinterest!
Purchase: You can purchase Udi's Gluten Free Foods at most Supermarkets, check out their Location Finder for a market near you!

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli, speaking in an interview with Sky Sports, said that he is remaining with his head down despite all the recent praise from idols after a fantastic season so far with his club.
Alli says it's an honour to receive praise from Ferguson
Alli has been incredible so far for his club this season scoring seven goals and is only going to get better. The English midfielder's stunning form has lead to praise from former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson comparing Alli to a young Paul Gascoigne.
In response to the praise from Ferguson Alli said "for one of the greatest managers ever to compliment you" it's incredible to hear and it's a "huge honour". Alli though said that he doesn't want to "get carried away with things like that" as he just wants to continue his good form on the field and "keep working hard".
Alli says that the season so far has "been crazy, absolutely crazy for me" as he is part of something special at Spurs this season and he says he was always "quite confident" in his ability. The Englishman though being modest said "I didn't expect it to go well so quickly" as his rise has been really remarkable.
Alli says this season has been a dream come true
The English midfielder continued to say that this season has been "a dream come true" as things are going brilliantly for the whole Spurs team and he says it's a dream "I'm still waiting to be woken up". A dream that Alli shows no signs of waking up from as he looks to cement his place in the England squad for the Euro's this summer.
Alli made his debut back in November for his country and scored wonderful long range effort against France at Wembley. Alli has also started two of the last three games and looks a good bet for the Euros, but for now, until then he is concentrating on ending the season well with his club.
Alli hoping to be a part of the England squad at the Euros
Alli said "I've still got a lot to learn" and for now, he will not "get to carried away with myself" as that's the way to go about it as it will make him a better player. Alli continued to say that "it's important you stay professional" as that's what will take you far in your career as he looks to have a long one.
The Euros are just around the corner and Alli says he would "love to go [to Euro 16]" as it would just top of his great season and it "would be a dream come true". The youngster though says that he doesn't think his "place is concrete" as there are a lot of players trying to get into the team.

Eco-labelling: Policy Considerations
This paper argues that eco-labeling could lead to an adverse effect on the environment. In every society there are some consumers who are concerned about environmental problems and others who are not. Labeling may stimulate concern for the environment and increase the demand for environment-friendly products. However, it is precisely this consequence of labeling that can lead to perverse results. In certain plausible cases, the differentiation of products due to labeling may lead to increased sales of products made by both environment-friendly and environment-unfriendly methods. An empirical test is suggested to establish when labeling can be usefully introduced. Copyright 1994 by WWZ and Helbing & Lichtenhahn Verlag AG

After ending the first period in a 0-0 stalemate, Dance picked up an early escape in the second and closed with a quick takedown-near fall combination to go ahead 7-0. NDSU would score on an escape with two seconds left in the final period but couldn't top Dance, who picked up a 7-1 victory and three team points.
Hokies went ahead 6-0 when Kevin Norstrem picked up his first dual victory of the year, a 13-7 decision. Norstrem took an early lead behind two first period takedowns, adding a reversal in the second period. Norstrem put his opponent away in the final period, surging ahead behind three takedowns.
