If you find this post of interest, you may want to click The skeptical wine lover, a compilation, with background, of instances of mythology and pseudoscience which I believe get in the way of our enjoyment of wine.
FIRST published on October 1 & 2, 2008 respectively, there are stories on the websites of the UK Telegraph and Mail about an exciting new product which promises to revolutionise wine. As the (remarkably similar) stories are still up online unamended, I presume both publications stand over them.
The story on both sites is almost comically wrong, a fantastic pantomime of snake oil and magic beans. It contains claims which not alone aren't true but which couldn't be true. Some of the quotes from the story's key sources suggest that neither the commentators nor the journalists fully understand some of the basic facts about wine. Or physics.
Both papers report that a British inventor and former Dragon's Den contestant, Casey Jones, is marketing a gadget which purports to use ultrasound to improve wine by recreating the effects of decades of ageing. Retailing at £350 (€450), the Ultrasonic Wine Ager goes even further, according to its inventor.
It's no less than "The miracle machine that turns cheap plonk into vintage wine — in just half an hour" as the headline in the latter paper put it.
It "works on any alcohol that tastes better aged, even a bottle of paintstripper whisky can taste like an eight-year-aged single malt," says Jones.
"This machine can take your run-of-the-mill £3.99 bottle of plonk and turn it into a finest bottle of vintage, tasting like it's hundreds.
This is all echoed on T3, the gadget website: "This wine ageing marvel will cost £350 saving you a whole lot more in the long run, so we will definitely raise a glass to that!"
All I can say to that is wow.
If you accept that pitch, and think it through (ideally after after a little lie-down to help you recover your composure) you will hail this machine as one of the greatest revolutions in food technology, right up there with two advances which helped shape the 20th century, refrigeration and containerised trasnport.
Going solely on the claims repeated above, it's clear the magic machine will significantly disrupt the global economy. Consumers who collectivley have been spending billions of euro on decent wines at around €10 or €15 will suddenly switch to the cheapest available at rock bottom prices and enjoy quaffing what now tastes as good as the luxury upmarket variants they'd never previously been able to afford. I confess I'd never previously heard of a "bottle of vintage" but Jones does appear to mean upmarket wine, costing "hundreds" [of pounds].
The price of wines and spirits will plummet, and they will become generic unbranded commodities shipped around the world in vast tankers. I haven't done the maths but even under Ireland's super-high excise regime, ought to translate to perhaps about €3 per bottle.
Astonishingly, there's more. A machine that makes something that tastes so nasty suddenly taste so nice is an astounding physics-defying breakthrough. But it also seems to have pulled off a triple medical miracle.
"The look and bouquet of the drink is improved and because of the chemical changes, the alcohol is easier to absorb by the kidneys and therefore, hangovers are virtually eliminated."
1 The kidneys?
Yes, the kidneys filter your blood, and all that's in it. But alcohol is not specifically acted on by the kidney, that function belonging to the liver. So the machine seems to have successfully wrought an unprecedented organ function reassignment unless (and I'm just raising a possibility here) the people promoting the gadget have conducted another body-part swap and are talking out their arses.
2 My rudimentary understanding of physics and chemistry suggests alcohol is alcohol. You can't like make it more slidey so it squirts faster into the bloodstream.
3 You'd also question in what sense easier absorbtion of alcohol might mitigate the symptoms of overindulgence. Faster absorbtion would blast alcohol more rapidly through your body. I'm no medical expert but if you'd overdone a bout with the sauce, wouldn't the faster absorbtion hasten the onset of hangover and make it more acute? Indeed I imagine fast-absorbtion alcohol could be dangerous. Say someone horses through too much alcohol today. Then next week they do it all again with the same volume of alcohol. But this time it's been magicked in the machine. And seeing as it's got go-faster stripes, and is absorbed faster, isn't it possible that our subject could rapidly take on an acutely dangerous or even fatal dose? Especially as the new version is So. Damn. Tasty.
Much of the rest of the article in both papers is effectively an extended testimonial from one André Jones (no relation, according to the Telegraph, although the Mail is silent on the matter) who apparently makes wine at Buzzard Valley Vineyard near Tamworth in Staffordshire.
"I was amazed, it had definitely aged," he's quoted as saying in both reports. "Obviously it can't change the grape variety used [phew, that's a relief for fuddy-duddies who insist in believing in physics] but it does mean a relatively poor variety can be made to taste a lot higher market."
So. This wonder is an invaluable tool in food and drink production too. Who needs magic beans when you can buy a lean, keen bean machine, and turn your tin of Bachelors into "higher market" beans with magickal properties?
The winemaker (a prizewinner at the Mercian Vineyards Association Wine Challenge) warms to his theme: "I suppose you could buy a good wine at two or three years old and age it so it tastes like a 20-year-old vintage."
This really is quite an intriguing insight into the philosophy of an artisan carefully crafting wholesome product at a small family-owned winery. But, unless he was misquoted, both articles suggest Mr Jones has an incomplete grasp of what he's talking about. To answer three oddities attributed to him:
(1) Rioja isn't a grape variety;
(2) The region of the same name isn't on the Mediterranean – it's about 400km inland and is not regarded as part of the Med in terms of ampelography, oenology or geography. Atlantic more like.
(3) To say that wine is at its best "five or so years after it's made" is akin to answering the age-old question on the length of a piece of string by declaring "oh, five or so inches long". The ageing assertion is bollocks. Some wines are best within a few months; others could do with a decade in bottle before opening. Most wines we drink are designed to be consumed within a year or two.
Naturally, I would like to put the machine to the test. They've sold out apparently but I registered my intentions on Mr Jones' site, http://www.inventors-showcase.com, and emailed him explaining I write about wine and would love a go on the first available machine. So far… tumbleweed. If and when I get to try it out you'll be first to know. In the meantime, here's what I believe I should expect.
If I opened two identical bottles and had one of them Tangoed by Mr Jones' invention, there's a good chance that's the one I'd prefer. However, if I insisted that the other non-magicked bottle was opened beforehand and allowed to 'breathe' first, I predict the zapped bottle would be no better and would quite possibly be worse. Because what Casey Jones describes (charmingly glossed in both papers as "colliding alcohol molecules inside the bottle") is certainly not ageing — but sounds to me like one type of fast-track oxygenation.
Wine begins to oxidise the moment we open the bottle (there may be micro-oxidation going on beforehand, especially with cork stoppers). The scents and flavours of your wine will alter minute by minute, ultimately (generally after a few days) ending up quite unpleasantly oxidised. But along the way it'll have come into its own, tasting far, far better than if we'd drunk it the moment it's opened. The optimum duration depends on many factors (including its age, and whether it's red or white, to take just two criteria). But really in general I prefer to give most whites a few hours, and most reds up to a day after which time its flavours and aromas really flower and shine in your glass.
While I'm generally happy just to open bottles in advance, there are fast-track ways to speed up oxygenation. The first and most traditional is to decant. You know the classic decanter shape? Basically a bottle but with an enormously wide bowl-shaped bottom? Yes, that. The ancient traditional shape is designed to present an extremely large surface area of the liquid to the air in the decanter, thereby speeding up oxidation. A generously-proportioned kitchen jug would do the job pretty well.
I believe the ultrasound yoke may — rather like a whiz in a blender or a few seconds in the microwave — speed up the uptake of O2. But I'm convinced it's an intrusive, expensive and unnecessary replacement for the simple expedient of letting the wine breathe for itself.
The final tally
Magick ultrasound wine machine – €450
Opening the bottle to let it breathe – €0

We are working with suppliers and customers to minimise our environmental impact across the value chain, from sourcing to production and from use to disposal of our products and equipment.
Our climate goal is to cap our 2020 impact across our value chain at 2010 levels, regardless of business growth. Although this requires action at every level of our business and supply chain, the two major drivers of progress towards our goal are improving our energy efficiency and increasing the use of renewable electricity.
Our supply chain currently accounts for a significant share of the greenhouse gas emissions in our value chain. We work closely with packaging material supplier partners to identify efficiencies, both in their operations and through their own supply chains.
By applying World Class Manufacturing principles, we can reduce energy, waste and water, while making our factories and offices more efficient. At the same time, we are looking to the future and exploring ways of continuing to manage our impact even after we have maximised our energy reductions. One way is by increasing our use of renewable electricity.
Forty percent of our total climate impact comes from equipment use by our customers. We support them to reduce their carbon footprint and costs through more efficient processing and packaging equipment and products, as well as services to reduce energy use, water consumption, waste and food loss.
We take a proactive and pioneering approach to make sure cartons are collected, sorted and recycled so that they keep delivering value.

Filed under: Courtney Cox, Diane Lane, Drew Barrymore, Elizabeth Hurley, Heather Locklear, Helen Mirren, Jami Gertz, Marisa Tomei, Megan Mullally, Monica Bellucci, Sandra Bullock, Topic of the Week | Tags: actresses, celebrity pics, Gossip, hot, Hot After 40, hot older woman, TOTW, we agree to disagree, women
Sparked by recent pictures of Marisa Tomei and Drew Barrymore, this week's "Topic of the Week" will focus on older women/MILF's who we may have thought were hot years ago and just realized they didn't really stop being hot. Especially for their age.
Phatty: Those screen caps of Marisa Tomei that we posted before were very excite. I like-a you! I don't really think I ever thought Ms. Tomei was THAT hot, but she's definitely ridiculous for being 43 years old. All around she impressed me and I actually felt sorry that Philip Seymour Hoffman's ass was sweating all over her. They must have paid her millions just for that scene. Another surprise is definitely Drew Barrymore. This one is a little different for me because I don't really think she's that attractive, but she still has a pretty nice body for being 33 years old. And does anyone remember Jennifer Tilly? I don't think I ever really forgot about her (who can forget that sex line operator voice), but she turns 50 this year and god bless her for still bringing the twins out. Granted she only makes appearances at poker tournaments, but I'd still think she was just as hot as many of the 30 years actresses/models/etc out there.
Jim: I'm going to blow your mind on this one, Panama Red. Sure I could go with some 30-40 year olds and call them "older", but since I'm 30 thats not really true. You saying that Drew Barrymore has a "pretty nice body for being 33 years old" makes me want to jump in front of a bus. And Im not even a woman. I think the MILF team begins and ends with Diane Lane. She is so unbelievably hot. Those scenes in "Irresistable" or "Inscrutable" or whatever that movie with Richard Gere was called were awesome, especially the one in the bathroom. But Lane is only 40 or so. You wanna talk about older women who still bring the fastball? Prepare to have your mind blown…….Helen Mirren. Yeah. Stew on that for a minute, sonny. I think she's like 60. If you can find a woman who played Queen Elizabeth attractive, then you are truly a lover of the older women.
Phatty: Just because you're 30 doesn't mean that I can't call people in their 30's and 40's "older." They are older. Older than me. Older than 90% of the girls that we post pictures of everyday. Older than the girls who don't wear panties to the club, or if they too don't wear panties, we at least don't hear about it.You would probably say "Thats because they're wiser" but I would come back with "Yes, OLDER and wiser". You're move, my friend. (And if there are crotch shots of Helen Mirren out there, this blog is definitely not going to link to that gallery. I'd rather punch a puppy right in the face than view pictures of Queen Elizabeth's "area.")
Jim: Oh, look who's too good to oogle a 63 year old lady who looks like THIS (NSFW). OK, maybe she doesnt look like this now, but she did at one point. And those boobs are still there. Well, just a bit south. But back to the original point of the post. Drew Barrymore is neither hot or older, at least to me. To be a 'hot older woman', you have to be at least 40. Another one for my list? Courteney Cox. 43 years old, and she might be hotter now than when 'Friends' started in 1994.
Phatty: To be totally honest, I included Drew Barrymore in this list because before I looked her up on IMDB, I thought she was like 48 years old. Thats probably because she's been in movies since she came out of the womb and also because I've never thought she was hot either. Except that these pictures are decent and getting some blog rotation so hey, shameless name dropping here is fine. Deal with it. As far as Courtney Cox, she definitely plays up her sexiness on "Dirt". Did you see the scene last season where she diddled herself? Definitely hotter than seeing both her and Rachel kiss in another episode, or appear on Friends together for year and years. But let's get back to your "Over 40 Hot Crowd". What about Monica Bellucci? She's not afraid to show the twins (and more) at 43 years old and I'm all for it.
Jim: Oh, she's definitely on the team. And yeah….she's been naked in just about every movie she's ever been in. So thats good. Ya know who else I love? Jami Gertz. A Chicagoan and 42 years old, Jami was awesome in the mid to late 80s and now is playing a mom on some sitcom. I think its called 'Still Standing', but its basically a rip-off of 'King of Queens', where Jami plays the hot chick strangely married to the big dumb moron. But Jami has a very strong soccer mom thing going on. And its really hot.
Phatty: Ohh definitely. Although she's kind of like Leah Remini, sometimes she's hot and sometimes she's not. Leah might be a nice addition, too, but I'm too lazy to see if she's over 40. She's had her definite up's and down's especially on the King of Queens, but thats mostly because she was pregnant. I also thought for a second about Megan Mullally (aka Karen Walker from "Will and Grace") but then I slapped myself and move on to Sandra Bullock. I don't care what anyone says – the scene they play almost every day on TBS for "Miss Congeniality" where she's walking out of the airline hangar, thats hot. The girl's 44 and I don't care if she worked out or starved herself to get into that dress, I applaud you, Ms. Bullock.
Jim: OH……fucking great call on Megan Mullally. I love her. And not in the way girls say it, like 'Oh, she's so funny on Will and Grace'…..no, I mean in it the way that you know how I mean it……like I would absolutely ruin her if given the opportunity. I would also request…..nay, demand….that she talk in the high-pitched Karen Walker voice during the act. (Wait, am I giving away the fact that I know way too much about Will and Grace? I mean, Im not worried about being seen as gay–its just a horrible, horrible show)……..Anyway, I also love Heather Locklear. My friend Neil and I have stupid conversations a lot, and I have always told him that if I were the general manager of the hot chick league, I would have a 'starting five' –currently Scarlett Johannson, Jessica Biel, Diora Baird, Rosario Dawson, and Anne Hathaway–with one older woman as the 'coach'. That coach used to be Locklear, but I think now it has to be Diane Lane. Especially since Heather looks a little cracky lately. Way too thin.
Phatty: I'm glad you verified my Megan Mullally claim. I was beginning to think I had lost my touch. I, too, would require the hit pitched voice and the chest bumping that made Karen Walker that much more attractive. I also agree about Locklear although she was on some CBS show not that long ago (the one with David Spade that isn't that funny) and she looked damn good. I almost forgot about Elizabeth Hurley, too. She's never had a really good movie, but she definitely needs to be on the list. Also, Ashley Judd and Kylie Minogue are worth mentioning as they both turn 40 this year, too. Kylie has an ass that won't quit and Ashley seems like the hot mom you'd look at in her khakis at the grocery store and try to determine if your boys would give you shit for banging her or actually be proud of you. I'd say I wouldn't give a shit.

Update on roadworks between Ashton and Montagu
A plan is in place to make up for lost time on a 36-month Department of Transport and Public Works contract to rehabilitate and upgrade various sections of the R60 and R62 between Ashton and Montagu through Cogmanskloof. Work on the R583 million contract is expected to be completed on schedule in the third quarter of 2018.
A number of unexpected factors have slowed down construction in Montagu. One of the major unforeseen tasks was that the asbestos cement water pump line in Long Street between Market Street and the Van Der Merwe Bridge had to be replaced. The existing pipe was too shallow and brittle for the construction of the road to continue.
The high water table in the western part of Long Street hindered construction and remedial action had to be taken. Although subsoil drains were installed and open drainage channels dug to drain saturated ground, the soil was still too wet for the lower road layers to be built. Additional subsoil drains have now been installed to drain excess water.
Larger stormwater pipes had to be installed, which required deeper and wider excavations. Deeper excavations needed additional support to prevent the sides from caving in. Wider excavations meant that there was less space in the half-width under construction to store material. Less storage space meant that pipe sections, stone and sand had to be stored in a separate stockpile, requiring machines to make many time-consuming trips to fetch materials.
The construction team understands the frustration and inconvenience that the road construction has had on the residents of Montagu. We remain committed to minimising disruption to businesses and private residents. The construction team will visit every property to speak to affected parties before construction commences in a section.

The Next Big Thing: Green Building
by Kimberly Carrillo, IF Development
Builders need to start focusing on what it takes to become a green builder.
Sure, it may seem like it is only a buzzword, but green building is becoming a highly sought after commodity in the home builder business. Are you looking to offer green building in the next year? 5 years? Ten years? If your answer is no to all three, then you may be missing out on a great opportunity to stay ahead of the curve in the real estate market.
"In response to growing awareness of the building environment's effect on the natural environment, architects and builders, activists and government agencies are increasingly championing an alternative method of design and construction," said Jeffrey Kaye of KCET-Los Angeles on the Online NewsHour. "A further encouragement for green building projects has come from cities, states and government agencies, which in recent years have enacted green building standards."
More and more people are making the push for everything to be built in an eco-friendly manner. Residential developers need to embrace this trend and move forward rather than waiting until they are required to meet green standards.
Where do you go from here?
Meet the people. Look into attending a green building conference that will answer some of your basic (and advanced) questions and also give you an opportunity to network with some of the most innovative names in the green building business.
Get educated. Price out classes and certifications that you will need to become a green builder.
Talk to the locals. See what local companies cater towards green building. Keep track of their contact information and ask for pricing on things that you know you will need in the future. Having a great directory full of contacts and pricing will make your life easier as you move forward.
Stay informed. Sign up for online newsletters about green building. A great resource is at www.buildinggreen.com. Not only do they have monthly issues, but they also have wonderful archives of past issues.
Meet the press. If you decide to start building energy-efficient homes and developments, write a press release immediately and let everyone know about it. Be sure to put it up on your website as well. Keep writing press releases every to keep your name out there in the news. This will increase your popularity to future home buyers and on the web.
And the winner is... Submit your finished projects for green building awards. You can't buy that kind of publicity!

Luxury real estate developments need to target upper-income clientele while establishing brand identity that emotionally connects hearts with homes. Our staff of been-there-done-that lead generators and award-winning designers works in tandem to achieve highest possible consumer penetration at the industry's most cost effective price per closed sale.

Doctor says it's amazing that 6-day-old baby in such good shape
The doctor who cared for a 6-day-old town of Beloit baby found outside Friday morning is stunned, not only that Kayden Powell survived, but that he seems completely unharmed.
Kayden was discharged from the University of Iowa Children's Hospital just seven hours after he was admitted. In an exclusive interview with WISN 12 News, his doctor said it's miraculous.
VIDEO: Doctor who cared for baby stunned at his good condition
"I would expect to have found a dead baby, to be honest with you," Dr. Jeffrey Segar said.
Kayden was rushed to the emergency room, with word already spreading of his discovery after hours in the bitter cold. Segar said he expected hypothermia, frostbite, or worse, but he found none of it.
The newborn didn't need to be rewarmed. He was fed upon arrival and he fed very vigorously.
"He was hungry," Segar said.
Segar said he finds Kayden's experience hard to believe.
"The medical plausibility of that child being outside for over 24 hours in Iowa weather, and coming to the hospital with a normal body temperature is truly amazing," Segar said.
"Even wrapped in a blanket inside a plastic tote?" WISN 12 News reporter Nick Bohr asked.
"Like I said, I don't know the details, and that's an awfully good blanket," Segar said.
Kayden's parents were escorted by the FBI while they were at the hospital. As they left, they asked for privacy.

Using .htaccess Files with Apache
Copyright © 2000 by Ken Coar. All rights reserved. Limited rights granted to Internet.Com.
One of the most common needs Webmasters have is to cause the Web server to handle all the documents in a particular directory, or tree of directories, in the same way -- such as requiring a password before granting access to any file in the directory, or allowing (or disallowing) directory listings. However, this need often extends to more than just the Webmaster; consider students on a departmental Web server at a university, or individual customers of an ISP, or clients of a Web-hosting company. This article describes how the Webmaster can extend permission to tailor Apache's behaviour to users, allowing them to have some control over how it handles their own sub-areas of its total Web-space.One of the most common needs Webmasters have is to cause the Web server to handle all the documents in a particular directory, or tree of directories, in the same way--such as requiring a password before granting access to any file in the directory, or allowing (or disallowing) directory listings.
This article shows how you can use per-directory configuration
files, called
.htaccess files, to customise
Apache behaviour -- or allow your users to do so for their own
Per-Directory Settings
Apache's configuration system addresses the need to group documents
by directory in a straightforward
manner. To apply controls to a particular directory tree, for
instance, you can use the
<Directory> container
directive in the server's configuration files:
<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs"> AllowOverride None Options None </Directory>
This has the advantage of keeping control in the Webmaster's hands;
there's no need to worry about any of the server's users being able
to change the settings, since the server configuration files are
generally not modifiable by anyone except the admin. Unfortunately,
it has the disadvantages of
requiring a restart of Apache any time the config file is changed,
and that it can become truly burdensome to add all the
<Directory> containers that might be needed
for all the users that have special requirements.
An alternative method for supplying the desired granularity of Apache configuration -- down to the directory level -- is to use special partial config files in each directory with special requirements.
So What's an
.htaccess File?
.htaccess file is simply a text file containing
Those directives apply to the documents in the directory where the
.htaccess file is located, and to all subdirectories
under it as well. Other
.htaccess files in subdirectories
may change or nullify the effects of those in parent directories; see
the section on merging for more information.
As text files, you can use whatever text editor you like to create or
make changes to
.htaccess files.
These files are called '
.htaccess files' because that's
what they're typically named. This naming scheme has its roots in
the NCSA Web server and the Unix file system; files whose names
begin with a dot are often considered to be 'hidden' and aren't
displayed in a normal directory listing. The NCSA developers
chose the name '
.htaccess' so that a control file
in a directory would have a fairly reasonable name ('ht' for
'hypertext') and not clutter up directory listings. Plus, there's
a long history of Unix utilities storing their preferences information
in such 'hidden' files.

"Unshaken," Liahona, Mar. 2014, 28–31
As we turned to the Lord in the aftermath of the earthquake, we were reminded of the importance of always remembering Him.
Friday, March 11, 2011, 2:46 p.m.; Kōriyama, Japan; Kōriyama chapel, second floor.
Fifteen missionaries in the middle of leadership training begin to practice teaching about Joseph Smith. As the message of hope and peace fills the room, the windows begin to rattle. The noise intensifies. What began as vibrations escalates to booming.
The building jerks side to side, and the movement increases in speed and magnitude until it becomes one continuous jolting motion. Standing and walking are nearly impossible. Some missionaries try to take cover under the tables—until the tables are thrown across the room. The building, the city, even the whole province reel in commotion as if the earth will burst open. One thought prevails in my mind: "Get the missionaries out of here!"
Our Miraculous Evacuation
As mission president of the Japan Sendai Mission, I had been teaching the missionaries and members for months to "turn to the Lord" (Mosiah 7:33). Now, as I turned to Him for divine guidance, inspiration came quickly: "Open the door—create an escape route." I knew that I must open the door before the ceiling collapsed, trapping us inside. So I rushed to the door and opened it. "Get out of here!" I shouted.
The missionaries staggered along the shifting, rocking, heaving floor toward the open door; then they headed down the stairwell and out of the church. Once outside, we felt safer, although we were not yet safe from the elements. The weather had turned bitter cold, and snow pelted our faces.
Across from the church, headstones in a Buddhist cemetery toppled over; the wall of the cemetery had turned to rubble. A large fissure zigzagged up all 12 stories of an apartment building behind the church. Large chunks of concrete facade had crumbled off the walls of an adjacent elementary school. Windows had blown out, and broken glass littered the ground. On the opposite side of the road, a blue tile roof lay in pieces. I gathered the 15 missionaries in the parking lot of the church, and we gave our Heavenly Father thanks for our protection and asked for His continued help.
Our Thanksgiving Prayers
Panic set in throughout the city. Afraid that they would go without food, people began buying everything in sight. Bread and milk sold out immediately, and within a few hours no bread could be found in the city. Lines miles long formed at the gas stations.
In contrast to the panic of the people on the streets, the missionaries were remarkably calm. We offered prayers of thanksgiving, and we felt a calm assurance that all would be well.
We could not leave the city—roads were damaged and freeways were closed, and no trains or buses were running. People who had waited hours in long lines to purchase gasoline were turned away. Government inspectors systematically entered each residence, condemning some and approving others for occupancy. So we stayed overnight at evacuation centers with numerous others who, like us, could not return to their homes.
Discipleship amid Distress
The next day, Saturday, we began as usual with scripture study and prayer. That day we especially needed our Heavenly Father's help. After scripture study, I organized the missionaries into groups. One group went to the church to help clean up and then worked with the branch president to repair members' homes. One group visited the city inspectors to find out whether the missionary apartments were safe to enter. Another group checked to see if trains and buses were running. Several others stood in lines to obtain water while others searched for food. One companionship received a special assignment: find bread for the sacrament on Sunday. I worked throughout the day trying to contact all the missionaries in the mission.
That day we felt our Heavenly Father's guidance in everything we did. The missionaries who stood in the line for water met two men with whom they shared the gospel. The missionaries shared their testimonies of God's love and brought the two men to our testimony meeting in the evening and to church the next day.
The sisters who sought food for us soon learned that God was guiding their footsteps. Unable to find anything in the stores, they found food in places they usually would not consider, such as down deserted alleys and in small, one-room shops. We had been given our "daily bread" (Matthew 6:11).
At the end of the day we reported back to our Heavenly Father. We had not lost our focus. We were still "disciple[s] of Jesus Christ," who were "called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life" (3 Nephi 5:13).
The Father's Strength, Power, and Peace
That evening we felt a greater need for the strength and power of our Heavenly Father. We needed His Spirit to be with us. So we had a testimony meeting at the chapel. The missionaries thanked the Lord for giving us our daily bread, and they recognized that we had been led, guided, directed, and protected. They knew that many others were not so fortunate and would not see another sunrise. We truly had been "troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we [had been] perplexed, but not in despair; … cast down, but not destroyed" (2 Corinthians 4:8–9).
All the missionaries testified of the peace they felt. They testified that God had protected them and calmed their souls. They had faced the possibility of death but did not fear. They did not have the water, food, or heat needed to sustain them long-term, yet they were nourished with living water; they were fed by the word of God; they were warmed by the Spirit. Within our little band of missionaries, not one feared. Each missionary felt God's strengthening power that night and felt closer to God than ever before.
As that day ended, we were grateful to be alive. We thanked the Lord for the help He had extended to us in very literal ways. We made assignments for our worship service the next day and left the chapel to join the dozens of other temporarily homeless people in the evacuation center.
The Sacrament Bread
But two elders were especially solemn. They had been asked to get the bread for the sacrament the next day and had not accomplished their assignment.
As we reached the evacuation center Saturday evening, the city employees welcomed us back. They apologized that they had given us little food (20 crackers) to eat the day before but then beamed as they handed us the next day's rations: a bottle of water and eight slices of bread.
My elders looked at me as if to say, "How could the Lord bless us any more?"
God, who knows the fall of a sparrow, had reached out again, as if preserving our lives had not been enough. Our Heavenly Father made sure that we would be able to "always remember" His Son (D&C 20:77). We were closer to our Savior than we had ever been in our lives.
The missionaries gave a special prayer that night. They dropped to their knees to thank our Heavenly Father for another miracle in a series of special miracles. They understood the priority that God has placed on our covenant to always remember Jesus Christ, and they were grateful for the mercy and kindness of a loving God who lets us partake of the sacrament each week.
These missionaries now testified, with greater conviction than ever before, that God wants us to always remember His Son, Jesus Christ.

Goodyear easily topped Wall Street expectations for the fourth quarter, but shares slid before the opening bell with Europe dragging down the tire maker's outlook for 2013.
Goodyear easily topped Wall Street expectations for the fourth quarter, but shares slid Tuesday with Europe dragging down the tire maker's outlook for 2013.
The Akron company cut its full-year outlook for 2013 segment operating income from $1.6 billion, to between $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion.
The company broke even for the quarter, compared with net income of $18 million, or 7 cents per share, during the same period last year.
Revenue was $5 billion, down from $5.7 billion last year as a sluggish European economy led to a 16 percent drop in sales for the region.
Excluding charges, Goodyear earned 39 cents per share. Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected fourth-quarter earnings of 20 cents per share, excluding charges, on $5.34 billion in revenue.
Shares of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. slipped more than 4 percent, or 66 cents, to $13.25 in early trading.
For the year, Goodyear earned $183 million, or 74 cents per share, on revenue of $21 billion, down from 2011 net income of $321 million, or $1.26 per share, on revenue of $22.8 million.
The company, in a move similar to its strategy in North America, said it will cut about 6 million tire units of high-cost capacity in Europe. The measure should result in about $75 million in annual profit improvement, Goodyear said.
Over the next three years, Goodyear's Europe-Middle East-Africa unit will look to shore up its long-term competitive position in the region by expanding in emerging markets, including eastern Europe.
In the October-December quarter, Goodyear sold 15 percent fewer tires in the region, with replacement tire shipments down 17 percent.
Chairman and CEO Richard Kramer made his case for a European turnaround in a conference call with analysts.
"The successful execution of our transformation in North America is proof positive that we know how to do this," Kramer said.
While there has been some recent stabilizing of the economy in Europe, "We believe there has yet to be a comprehensive and lasting solution to the euro crisis," Kramer said. "The resulting slow economic growth will continue to dampen consumer demand."
In its core North American market, segment operating income was up $95 million to $116 million, a fourth-quarter record, with an emphasis on high-end tires helping offset a 5 percent drop in the number of tires sold.
North American results were aided by lower raw material costs and savings from the shutdown of a high-cost Union City, Tenn., plant.
"We feel very positive about the progress made in our North American, Latin American and Asia Pacific businesses in 2012 and are confident in our ability to continue delivering improved profitability," Kramer said.

Minneapolis, MN (SportsNetwork.com) - Joakim Noah's triple-double led the Chicago Bulls to a 102-87 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves Wednesday at Target Center. Noah tallied 15 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists and D.J. Augustin added a game-high 21 points off the bench for the Bulls, who have won six straight. Kirk Hinrich scored 16 points, Mike Dunleavy notched 15 and Jimmy Butler added 14 points and seven assists. The triple-double was Noah's fourth of the season, tied with Indiana's Lance Stephenson for the most in the league. Kevin Love totaled 17 points and 10 rebounds and Ricky Rubio scored 15 points with six assists for the Timberwolves, who have lost two of three. Ronny Turiaf contributed 11 points and five boards off the bench. Chicago started the second half trailing 53-48, but a 9-2 burst gave them a two-point lead with 8:48 on the third-quarter clock. The teams traded the lead over the next three minutes before seven straight points from the Bulls gave them an 70-62 cushion. Minnesota netted the next six points but trailed 75-70 heading into the final 12 minutes. The Bulls used a 12-6 run to stretch their lead to 87-76 with 7:43 left to play. Just under a minute later, Chicago scored eight straight points to put the game away. They led 95-79 with under five minutes left on the clock and the teams combined for six baskets down the stretch. "I thought we did a pretty good job the first half. The second half, third quarter they just started making shots and we couldn't get one to go down and we looked like we ran out of gas in the second half," said Minnesota head coach Rick Adelman. Earlier, after exchanging scores through three-plus minutes into the second quarter Minnesota used a 10-2 run to take a 41-32 lead with just under five minutes left in the half. Chicago responded with consecutive 3-pointers from Augustin and Hinrich to pull within three. However, the T'Wolves led by five at the break. In the first quarter there was one tie and 13 lead changes, with neither team up by more than five points. Chicago carried a 26-25 edge into the second frame. Game Notes Chicago has won eight of nine against Minnesota and five straight at the Target Center ... The Bulls are 31-2 when scoring at least 96 points in a game ... Chicago moved to 18-1 on the road when leading entering the fourth quarter ... The T'Wolves fell to 3-20 when scoring less than 100 points in a game ... Minnesota is now 3-27 when trailing its opponent after three quarters.

February 21, 2012, Moscow—Five members of a Russian feminist punk collective Pussy Riot staged a performance in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. Dressed in brightly colored tights and balaclavas, they performed their punk prayer, asking the Virgin Mary to drive out Russian president Vladimir Putin from the church. After just forty seconds, they were chased out by security. Three members of the collective, Maria Alyokhina, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, known as Masha, Nadya, and Katya, were later arrested and charged with felony hooliganism motivated by religious hatred. As their trial unfolded, these young women became global feminist icons, garnering the attention and support of activists and artists around the world. The book contains new courtroom statements from October 10 appeal, and tributes by Bianca Jagger, Peaches & Simonne Jones, Tobi Vail, Barbara Browning, Vivien Goldman. These powerful, feminist punk women have been inspirations to people all over the world.

Matt Cain had two outs in the 5th inning and a 1-0 lead when the Dodgers rookie pitcher Stephen Fife roped a two-strike double for his first major league hit. Two hits later it was 2-1 LA, one of those "what the hell happened?" moments. Cain was throwing strikes, good pitches with movement on the corners, but the hitters were making good swings and getting good results. The same thing happened in the 6th, three hits from the first four batters making it a seemingly insurmountable 3-1 lead. Matty could be seen dropping the f-bomb, a rare display from our stoic, well-mannered Southern boy. He had good reason. He was doing what he always does, sticking to his game plan and hitting his spots but getting burned nonetheless. In retrospect, it is easy to see that perhaps he didn't have his A-1 stuff, only two strikeouts tells me the "swing-through" pitches weren't there, and his velocity never got over 91 mph when we normally see him top out at a bit more than that. Matty went seven and yielded nine hits and three runs, a start most guys would be happy with, not dominating but effective, giving the team a chance to win. But Cain's bar is a little higher than most these days, and it is a real-live pennant race as well. This is a different Dodger team than the one the Giants whitewashed last time through.
The Giants put six guys on base in the first two innings and clearly had the rookie reeling, but they could not get the knockout blow. Fortunately Don Mattingly went to the bullpen a few too many times later in the contest and the guys were able to string together a rally and take Cain off the hook. Brandon Belt had three hits including the big one in the 8th to drive in two and tie it up. Ron, be sure to keep up the pressure on Belt. We all know what happens when we publicly rip a guy--he delivers the goods and makes us look bad! Readers, let me know who you'd like to see lambasted next and I'll pass out the writing assignments. It was nice to see Angel Pagan get a big hit as well. Like I've said before, this lineup needs everyone to contribute to be effective. The teams had identical lines through eight: 3 runs, 9 hits, 0 errors. Jeremy Affeldt and Santiago Casilla combined to terrify us in the 9th before tallying another zero, and it looked for all the world like another extra inning affair. Sure enough, the Giants obliged with a quick 1-2-3 and it was on to the 10th.
I was thinking the Giants really really really need some guys who can jack one late in a close game, but I've been thinking that for some time and thinking doesn't make it real. LA sent up Kemp, Ethier, and the newly-acquired Hanley Ramirez in their half of the inning and sure enough "HanRam" got the big hit to win it. Both Sergio Romo and I thought--as did most of the park--that the 3-2 pitch to Ethier was strike three/inning over, but alas it was ball four and a harbinger of doom. Romo, you may remember, was the one who gave up the long fly ball that Pagan turned into that great double play, so it's not like he's fooling everyone these days. Still, that's a formidable stretch of power hitters in the 3-4-5 spots, with 41 homers between them so far, that's with Kemp missing half a season. It's on, my friends. Stock up on the Maalox, it's going to be two more months of nail-biting agony. Great game, really, other than the result.
p.s. Giants pick up Marco Scutaro (for Charlie Culberson) from Colorado. I wanted him in Spring Training. He's a good, versatile ballplayer. That's it for MannyB, I assume. Still could use a fresh arm in the 'pen and it would be great to have some power off the bench but I don't see that fix coming any time soon.

Classic Contest Ruined By Dodgers Winning

Giants do not seem up for this home series vs. the dodgers. I know they have to be upset that Pablo is hurt, but geesh these are the dodgers. The bums came off a brutal series in St. Louis in 100 degree weather, going extra innings, and using up all their bullpen. The bums cam in tired and spent, but right now they are game. They seem to have a second wind. Giants need to do the opposite of what they usually do. Being they lost the first two games of the series, it would be nice if they can salvage the third game against the dodgers ace, Clayton Kershaw.

Evaluation and Research Findings: How does the public make decisions about societal and ethical issues in science? -layering
March 2, 2013
How does the public make decisions about societal and ethical issues (SEI) in science? We've been researching past Nanotechnology Forums and the Would You Buy That? program to identify patterns in how the public responds to the facilitation approaches we have used in our SEI programming over the past six years. We will be highlighting results from this research over the next two months in our Featured Finding section.
Featured Finding
Both the forums and "Would You Buy That" facilitated by layering information, where participants made a decision based on initial information, then reflected on that decision using new information. In both cases, layering successfully led to further, richer conversation.

How Does Your Relationship Rate?
Find out if your love life is as hot as it could be.
Take the temperature of your relationship by completing the quiz above and then check your score below to find out ways to turn up the heat.
Tepid (10-12 points)
If you took this quiz, you were at least curious enough to think about your sex life to see where it falls on the passion curve. Since it is at or near the bottom of this quiz, you might want to work on some improvement. Start by talking with your partner about why you don't do most of the things on this list. If you both agree there could be some improvement without too much fuss, great! Choose something on the list that interests you, such as kissing more passionately and more often, and add it to your personal schedule. If, however, one of you is highly resistant or even angry at the suggestion, you might want to dig deeper and see if there is a serious problem or general alienation that you need to deal with. At the very least, talking about the issues or seeking a counselor to help you communicate should be a great help to your relationship.
Next: 13-15 points. »
Warm (13- 15 points)
You're trying, but you need to try a little harder. The important thing is that you want each other and show it — at least some of the time. What you need to do is build on what you've got. There are no constraints because of age or time together — although aging does present its challenges, and it is easy to let daily issues or larger problems get in the way of stoking the fire between you. Your challenge is to look down this list and add a few items. There is nothing here you can't do, and it seems you have the interest. Just giving each other more time to develop the affection and connection you have can keep your relationship sexy now — and even sexier in the future.
Next: 16-18 points. »
Tropical (16- 18 points)
Oh yeah, you are hot together. You are giving each other enough time and energy and you have a sensual and sexual bond. Probably the questions you answered "false" indicate that they don't fit with your lifestyle or morality, or you tried something but it fell by the wayside because it wasn't particularly interesting to both of you. Nonetheless, take a second look at the question or two you didn't think described your relationship and see if those items hold any interest for the two of you. You might want to bring back something you've forgotten about, but you used to do. No worries if there is nothing you want to add. You are in a compelling and hot relationship!
Next: 19-20 points »
The Hot, Hot Zone (19-20 points)
Bingo! You won the sex lottery, and your friends are envious. You obviously are all over each other, and your sexual connection is a huge strength in your relationship. You must also have a great relationship aside from the sexual connection, because it takes a strong emotional bond to continue to be as affectionate and erotic as you have demonstrated by your score. You are a model of what a sexual relationship can be. Keep it up.

Core Four to take part in first pitches
HOUSTON -- The Yankees' plans for their home opener on Monday will include a reunion of the "Core Four": Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte and Jorge Posada.
Prior to the 1:05 p.m. ET game against the Orioles, Pettitte and Rivera will throw the Opening Day ceremonial first pitches to Jeter and Posada.
Pettitte and Rivera will become the 13th and 14th former Yankees to receive the Opening Day honor; Posada threw out the ceremonial first pitch prior to the 2012 home opener.
Gates will open at 11 a.m.; festivities are slated to begin at approximately 12:30 p.m. with the introduction of both teams. The Yankees are asking fans to budget ample time when planning their trip to the Stadium and urging the use of public transportation.
Kelli O'Hara, a Tony nominee and the co-star of the Broadway musical "The Bridges of Madison County," will sing the national anthem. In addition, a large American flag will be unfurled by 75 West Point cadets.
During the seventh-inning stretch, James Moye of the Broadway hit "Bullets Over Broadway" will perform "God Bless America."

Microsoft has announced its Surface Pro tablet will launch on February 9 in the US and Canada, though those of us in the UK (and the rest of Europe) still have no idea when we'll be able to get our hands on one..
The software giant's second tablet will launch with Windows 8 Pro on 9 February in the US and Canada. The Surface Pro will come in 64GB and 128GB models starting at $899.
Microsoft said: "Work like never before on Surface Windows 8 Pro. Take the power and performance of a laptop and carry it around wherever you go. Perfect as your one device – in the office, on the road, or at home – it can run Windows 8 applications, as well as current Windows 7 desktop applications."
The bad news is that there's no word on when it will come to the UK or how much it will cost here. The Verge reports that "additional markets to follow in the coming weeks and months". It's frustrating news for anyone who held off buying the Surface RT.
The Surface Pro comes with an Intel Ivy Bridge processor, Full HD display and a stylus pen. As far as we're aware, the 128GB model will cost $999.
Microsoft also announced that the Surface RT will be available as a 64GB standalone version. Currently priced at £559 it only comes in this storage capacity with a Touch Cover keyboard.
There will also be three limited edition Touch Covers (below) with laser-etched designs consisting of 'year of the snake', 'skulls' and 'flowers'.
If you convert the US price of $899 into sterling it comes out at around £570 but it's highly unlikely that this will be the UK price considering the 64GB Surface RT costs £559. A price of between £699 to £799 would be more likely.

Pre-Physical Therapy
Interested in a career in physical therapy?
At the School of Science at IUPUI, students seeking professional careers in physical therapy are exposed to opportunities that no other school in the state of Indiana can offer.
Through comprehensive coursework, hands-on experience in the classroom and labs, one-on-one guidance from professors, and research, internship and leadership opportunities in the School, five surrounding hospitals, and the IU School of Medicine, graduates of the School of Science are well prepared for physical therapy school and beyond!
What will you learn?
Physical and occupational therapy schools do not usually require students to complete specific majors during their undergraduate years of schooling. However, there are specific prerequisites that should be completed in order to be admitted into a professional school and many benefits to selecting a biology, psychology, or physics major as you pursue success in the physical and occupational therapy fields, including:
- Pre-requisites for most professional programs often favor and lean heavily toward science majors.
- Often times, PT and OT schools look for students who have already completed an ample amount of job-shadowing in their respective fields. The School of Science at IUPUI provides students with the guidance, teaching and resources necessary to fulfill these requirements. By studying science at IUPUI, students have opportunities to work, learn and participate in research in the School of Science, IU Med School, and five leading hospitals surrounding IUPUI's campus.
Many science undergraduate degrees are marketable to future employers even if the student chooses not to pursue professional schooling.
What will you do?
Physical therapists are allied health professionals who are dedicated to the rehabilitation of individuals with mental, physical, emotional or developmental disabilities or handicaps. Physical Therapists plan, organize and administer therapeutic treatment to patients suffering from injuries or diseases.
Personal statements
Most graduate and professional programs require a personal statement as part of the application process. The personal statement is an appropriate place to share your career goals, strengths, experiences, personality, and academic successes and obstacles.

Ohio to issue temporary licenses to some immigrants
Program also provides federal work permits to qualified applicants
Ohio will start issuing temporary driver's licenses to young immigrants who have temporary legal presence under a federal program.
The Bureau of Motor Vehicles said Friday that deputy registrars were told to issue licenses to those who qualify through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA.
Ohio officials will take the extra security step of confirming those applicants' records with the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services database before granting them licenses.
The DACA program announced last year provides valid federal work permits for qualified applicants who came to the U.S. illegally as children.
Ohio and other states have grappled with how and whether to issue driver's licenses to those granted legal presence.
The BMV says Ohio is the 38th state to issue temporary licenses to DACA grantees.

The Central Connecticut men's basketball team won its second straight game and fifth in its last seven games, 73-70, on the road at Sacred Heart in the regular season finale for both squads on Saturday afternoon. The win pushes the Blue Devils to 11-18 overall and 7-9 in Northeast Conference play. The Blue Devils will be the #7 seed in next week's NEC Tournament, and will play at #2 Wagner on Wednesday night.
Sacred Heart ends the season 5-26 overall and 2-14 in NEC action. They had won on the road at Mount St. Mary's on Thursday night.
"I'm real proud of this team. We lost a couple players for at least 10 games, and we fought our way back," head coach Howie Dickenman said. "I guess we gutted it out when the games were on the line. Real proud that we came back. Look at some of the things we had to overcome, we finished strong in the final seven games. There was a time it looked like we might miss the playoffs, but we gutted it out. I'm just really proud of this team."
After leading by one at halftime, the Blue Devils fell behind by as many as four after halftime. Vinales led the offensive charge with five threes in the half. He finished with seven threes, one off his career-high, and had a team-high 24 points while adding five assists.
Freshmen Khalen Cumberlander and Matt Mobley combined for 12 points and nine rebounds and made three threes in the win. As a team the Blue Devils made 11-of-24 from three, including 7-of-10 from Vinales. Aside from his threes he had a pair of key assists in the final minutes to lead the team to the win.
Central struggled from the free-throw line, making just 20-of-30 on the day, but junior Malcolm McMillan drained two with 2.2 seconds to play to push the lead to three as the Blue Devils held on for the win.
Central led 29-28 at the half as neither team shot well in the first half of play. Central missed its first 11 shots from the field, but hit 8-of-15 to finish the half and led by one. Vinales had eight to lead the Blue Devils, including a pair of threes. Sacred Heart was just 12-of-32 from the field and made 3-of-12 from three.
Junior Faronte Drakeford had 11 points in just 16 minutes before fouling out. Sophomore Brandon Peel had six points and eight rebounds. Central held the rebounding advantage 39-38, and had seven players with at least three rebounds in the victory.
The Blue Devils are the #7 seed in next week's NEC Tournament, and will play on Wednesday night, March 5, at 7 p.m. at #2 seed Wagner. It marks the third straight season that the Blue Devils travel to Staten Island to face the Seahawks in the first round of the tournament.

By a ratio of nine to one over Romney

Tuesday, July 24, 2012
TSA employees overwhelmingly back President Barack Obama for a second term to a ratio of nine to one over Mitt Romney, indicating how the federal agency has become a politicized security force emblematic of Obama's big government agenda.
"If you find yourself wondering, "Do TSA employees have a preferred candidate in this year's presidential election?" the answer appears to be yes," writes Jim Geraghty.
Up to June 30, people who listed their employer as the Transportation Security Administration donated $4,379 dollars to the Obama 2012 presidential campaign whereas TSA workers donated just $498 to Mitt Romney.
The right to travel freely without undue harassment has been savaged by the Department of Homeland Security under the Obama administration to a degree never before witnessed in the United States.
Indeed, the TSA itself has become one of the primary targets of Americans infuriated with the rapacious growth of big government under Obama.
It's no surprise that TSA agents are firmly behind Obama given the fact that the federal agency has massively expanded under his administration.
Having conducted over 9000 unannounced checkpoints throughout the course of last year, independent of the TSA's role in airports, Congress gave the green light for a $24 million injection of extra funding in addition to the $110 million spent in fiscal year 2011 to cover 2012.
This money helped fund the expansion of the VIPR program which has TSA agents patrolling highways, train stations, bus terminals and other transport hubs.
As a whistleblower recently revealed to Infowars, more TSA workers are also being used in airports at locations besides security lanes.
"We're doing patrols in the parking lot with dogs, we're even going as far out to the train station because the train station is connected to the airport here and we have guys walking around the train station, walking around the rental cars, we're inspecting cars coming into the parking garage, I mean we've fully expanded – we're no longer just at the gate and just at the security checkpoint," said the whistleblower, a TSA supervisor.
