Dear Kristen, We do not know one another and have never met, but I just read your book and it was awesome! This is not something I would normally write…but I HAD too. I checked out your book from the local library and knew I had to buy it, even before I knew the proceeds go to Mercy House.
Reading this book was an experience for me. I wasn't just being entertained. I was connecting with something and having an actual experience. It is difficult to describe. I needed these stories and I loved it!
I have been trying to know God better and I can feel he speaks to me, (not in a literal voice), but I am apparently not a good listener. He is telling me to come find Him, and bring my children. I am lost only because I am not following the signs.
I thought I had just stumbled upon your book but I know now I was led to it. The versus and the prayers really spoke to me and I was compelled to tell you, and genuinely thank you. So, thank you and your family for this wonderful gift you all helped to make and share!
If you know a mom who needs Him or needs a little encouragement, I'd like you to leave her first name in the comment section.
I'm going to randomly draw 5 names and giveaway FIVE copies of my book, Don't Make Me Come Up There! for winners to pass along to a friend.
Maybe she's just waiting on a sign.
And your the one that's supposed to deliver it.
P.S. if you feel like you're the mom in this email, please feel free to leave your own name!

Because this is a well discussed and completely agreed upon topic that I have had with several real dogmen (RIP and stay young)...
The title of Game is proven and obtained in one way and in one way only.
THE history lesson: Let's take the dog from history that destroyed in the ring (always won). This dog was NOT game he was talented. A dog that never lost in the ring was never shown, let alone proven, to be game. Thus, all the XWs in a pedigree mean absolutely ZIP in the realm of "gameness". A game dog was one that never realized they had lost even though they did so in dramatic fashion. Also "game" has nothing to do with overt uncontrolled aggression and there was never seen to be a correlation. That is one of the saddest things that resolved from so many of the publications the community seems to cherish is that we were inadvertently led to conclude that one equaled the other. Every wanna be dog man thinks the more aggressive a dog is the more "game" they are. That makes this old modern dogman puke.
Back to the point, the historical "game bred" dog was one DIRECTLY sired or whelped off of a dog that was proven and then later had the honored unofficial title of "game" bestowed upon them. Game was an unofficial title of honor bestowed on only a very very few dogs in history. This title was sparingly and grudgingly bestowed by other dog men in honor of a dog. It was NOT an honor bestowed upon a kennel or a person OR a line of dogs. Nor was it a claim that could be made by the owner of the dog let alone the owner of the BYB kennel who buys a dog with XW within the pedigree. Call em whatever you want but performance lines or other similar terminology is more appropriate.
Most of the BYB criminal wanna be kennels cannot even honestly claim that their bred-by dogs fit within the more correct terminology of being performance bred or working lines (e.g. hog dogs) because they do nothing to prove their breeding stock are capable of excelling at performance or working events. Their claim to fame is typically based upon secretive back yard rolls they call "game testing" that do no more to show a dog has true grit than walking them down the street.
That being said there are no TRULY and due honored game dogs left on the planet and consequently there are only a very very few "game bred" dogs still alive.
You say you know of modern day game dogs or game bred dogs? I say you are pretending or at the very most know of criminals and wanna bes who have no clue what the real term meant and probably assigned the term to their own animals which is the utmost in ignorance!
Then you come back saying that hog hunting proves a dog game? That is the penultimate in a silly statement and fully exhibits your lack of true knowledge of the breed. I showed that to a hog hunting buddy of mine running Carver dogs and he practically barfed. For your future reference, a good hog dog is just that, a good hog dog or maybe even a proven catch dog. You can claim it is a way to prove game just like others claim that weight pull proves game. Neither is correct within the true historical framework. Both prove drive, skill and heart and maybe grit in the case of hog hunting. A good hog dog is a good hog dog and in some of those circles that is an honor enough in itself. As eluded to catching under hard duress (very few wild boars can take it that far) does prove grit but the title of game was never utilized as part of catch sports. However, through bull baiting the term did originate as a noun ie "that dog has game". This meant the dog had grit, determination, tenacity and drive. This term evolved later to become a title of sorts as described above.
Using the word "game" in any form these days is the same as using the phrases "rare blue" or "pure bred merle APBT". It is false advertising.

Extended Exolift to cover the entire lower front panel of the male suit, combined with Aerodome2 panels from the lower back to the calf of the 3.8 wetsuit provide the most buoyancy available across any of our suits. Male and female specific buoyancy panels enable more customized swimming support with balanced buoyancy.
New to the 3.8 wetsuit, the CLS uses a less flexible material on the core panels to stabilize the body. The suit feels stiff but once in the water it gives the feeling of swimming on a surfboard - greatly improving your body position and so also your speed.
The use of 1.5mm 40cell neoprene on the shoulders of the 3.8 as well as the underarms makes this version of the 3.8 the most flexible ever made - providing unrivalled stretch where it's most important.
The Yamamoto Corporation is the world's main supplier of high performance neoprene. Its seal represents quality, technology and innovation.
The Core Lateral Stabilizer (CLS) system is a revolutionary new feature that provides body alignment assistance. The effect of 5mm Exo-Cell side panels alongside the 4mm Exo-Lift front panel is that of a floation device - stabilizing the core by preventing lateral movement without restricting rolling. The result is an effortlessly streamlined body position, allowing less fatigue and so a faster time in the water.
Yamamoto's 40cell neoprene is the penultimate for flexibility, suppleness, fit and comfort. Second only to 44cell by the narrowest of margins and located in key high stretch areas on the Predator, Alpha and 3.8 suits, these panels contribute to providing a wetsuit swimming experience of the highest level.
Acting as a coating over closed-cell neoprene, Super Composite Skin (SCS) has become the benchmark for coating the smoothskin neoprene used in triathlon wetsuits, to reduce friction and increase speed through the water. The micro-cell structure of the SCS coating repels water when in contact with air and reduces surface resistance when in contact with water. Less friction = more speed!
HydroLite panels make transition that extra bit faster using the super fast SCS (Nano ICE in the Predator) which combined with a special lining which absorbs less water to improve buoyancy while also being extremely sleek -making the suit fast to remove in transition saving you precious seconds.
It's what's on the inside that counts and Orca's unique InfinitySkin lining plays an integral part in the unbelievable flexibility of our top end wetsuits. Constructed from a high stretch nylon, InfinitySkin is strategically placed where ultimate stretch is required and allows the wetsuit to move dynamically through your swim stroke.
Beneath the dimpled surface of Orca's Aerodome 39-cell neoprene are hundreds of air cavities, which provide 30% more buoyancy than normal 5mm neoprene. Aerodome panels are strategically placed around the heaviest parts of the body, lifting you into the optimum swimming position. Aerodome 2 is an upgrade that uses a new lining to increase flexibility and comfort.
Based on common errors in swim technique Orca has identified patterns that have been repeated by triathletes over the years. According to these behaviour patterns they've have identified three types of triathlon swimmers; Natural, Progressive and Total
The Progressive Swimmer solution provides extra buoyancy for a more stable position in the water, which considerably improves performance. While flexibility is important, if a swimmer's technique is less than perfect and the stroke is not polished, buoyancy becomes the determining factor in order to improve times.
The Progressive Swimmer range includes the 3.8 and S6 models where Orca has incorporated its Aerodome air pocket technology. Along with this the 3.8 also includes stabilisation panels that prevent inefficient twisting and snaking.
Flexibility 80%
Buoyancy 100%
Hydrodynamic 85%

Goodenow, a reliever for the Vanderbilt Commodores, made the move to Lipscomb this season in order to get a chance to start. Heading into tonight's game at Jacksonville at 5:30 at John Sessions Stadium he is 0-4 with a 5.29 average.
He has made five starts. In 34 innings he has given up 34 hits and struck out 40. He has walked eight.
"Richie is a smart and mature player," Bisons' pitching coach Tyler Shrout said. "He absolutely loves the challenge. He wants to be the guy on Friday night."
In his last two outings against Kennesaw State and Ole Miss he has allowed five runs in one inning. That is not a trend that Shrout expects will continue.
"He has had two games where he couldn't get out of an inning," Shrout said. "He has pitched better than what the end result has been. It has not been great, but he has to fight through it when he gives up a couple of hits or a couple of runs in an inning.
"He has to forget what happened in the past. He can't control what happened with the last couple of batters whether it was a walk, an error or a couple of hits. He just has to keep moving forward one pitch at a time. "
Both Shrout and head coach Jeff Forehand are surprised that Goodenow is still looking for his first win.
"Hitters are not batting well against him," Shrout said. "But we aren't scoring any runs for him.
"Hopefully, we can get a couple of runs early for him because we have never done that. He has always been pitching with a small margin of error."
Shrout thinks that Goodenow's last two outings will be a strong motivation when he faces Jacksonville.
"I know right now he wants to make up for what happened in the last two appearances," Shrout said. "I know that has been on his mind.
"He has had success as a reliever. But he really wants to have success as a starter and I think he is absolutely capable of doing it."
At the plate Goodenow has excelled. He is leading the team in hitting. He leads the Bisons in batting with a .384 average, slugging percentage (.548), on base percentage (.439) and runs batted in (13). He is tied with M.L. Williams for the team lead in hits with 28. He is tied with Williams and Tennyson Dodd for the doubles lead with six.
"Richie can think like a hitter when he is deciding what pitch to throw," Shrout said. "I think that is something that is important to him."
The Bisons, 7-14, 0-3 in the A-Sun, will continue the series with Jacksonville Saturday and Sunday. Games on both days will begin at noon.
Jacksonville is 13-8, 4-2 in the conference. They hold a 16-5 advantage in the series overall with the Bisons. Only Friday's game will be available on A-Sun TV.

Let a gaussian circle $C_R$ be any circle defined by the equation:
$$x^2+y^2 = R, (x,y) \in \mathbb{R}^2$$, where $R$ is the norm of a gaussian integer ($R=a^2+b^2, (a,b) \in \mathbb{Z}^2$). IF $R$ contains $n$ prime factors, it is not hard to show that $C_R$ contains $2^{n+2}$ integer points organized in $2^n$ classes of 4 elements. For example, with $R=65=5\times 13$ we have the only 4 integer points classes: $(\pm4,\pm7), (\pm8, \pm1), (\pm7,\pm4)$ and $(\pm1, \pm8)$.
We define the "non-abelian" addition law $\times$ on $C_R$ as follows:
$$(x_0, y_0) \times (x_1, y_1) = \frac{1}{R}\left(x_0\left(x_1^2-y_1^2\right)-2y_0x_1y_1, 2x_0x_1y_1+y_0 \left(x_1^2-y_1^2\right)\right),$$
the set of all rational points on $C_R$ forms a semigroup $G_R$, and if $P$ is an integer point on $C_R$ the set generated by repeated addition is dense on $C_R$.
Suppose now that $R$ factorization is unknown. Is it possible to find any non-trivial rational point on $C_R$?
I suspect the answer is no, otherwise we could easily factor large Gaussian integers. On the other hand, since rational points are dense on $C_R$, we have an infinity to choose from ...

This election is very simple. We cannot grow our way out of this mess, and we cannot tax our way out of it. We must spend less. We must live within our means.
GOP gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer and the Republicans are the only ones talking about real cuts in spending. Minnesotans have a clear choice to get Minnesota back on track.
• • •
Why do middle-class families pay 40 percent more of their incomes in state and local taxes than the richest Minnesotans do?
This isn't "progressive" Minnesota, or even "flat-tax" Minnesota -- it's "regressive" Minnesota.
Over a 16-year period from 1990 to 2006, according to the Minnesota Department of Revenue, middle-income families' taxes went up from 11.45 percent to 12.3 percent of their incomes, while the richest families' taxes went down from 11.2 percent to 8.9 percent!
For the past 20 years, our tax system has been going in the wrong direction for the bottom 90 percent of Minnesota families.
Why hasn't this "tax the middle class" system been corrected? The only candidate for governor who has even tried to address this inequity is Mark Dayton. The other two candidates' proposals would continue to make our tax system even more regressive. It is time for a change that will be fair to the middle class.
• • •
New York Times columnist and Minnesota native Thomas Friedman recently wrote a piece titled "Third party rising," in which he said there is a revolution brewing in the radical center. Our two-party system, Friedman said, "lacks ... creativity and any sense of courage or high-aspiration in confronting our problems."
I'm backing Tom Horner. Not because he's the compromise choice, but because he's the best choice. Period. No apologies. I speak for a lot of loyal Republicans and Democrats whose party chose to endorse the wrong candidate; someone they simply can't support. We are a state full of moderate, reasonable people. Let's not go quietly into the night and get out shouted by the minorities on the left or right. This year, good citizenship trumps party loyalty.
Don't let the hard-liners tell you how you are wasting your vote. Look at any poll. Way more than half of us are moderates and independents. Horner needs less than half to win.
This is a call to arms for centrists. Let's get off the porch and tell our neighbors what we are thinking. Do your homework. Stand your ground. That's what Horner is doing. Take a look at his thoughtful plans on jobs, health care and education. Sensible stuff.
There are more of us. We don't have the big money from our national party. We don't have phone banks. But, we do have common sense on our side. There's no reason we should be outshouted or outvoted. Let's take back our state.
• • •
Emmer as the compromise candidate? While the title may seem nonsensical, an examination of recent budget-balancing tools combined with a pragmatic election forecast may prove the title accurate.
Gov. Tim Pawlenty and DFL legislative leaders were collectively given a free pass in balancing the previous deficit by using federal aid, the school accounting shift and unallotments. The federal money is gone; we can't keep shifting payments to the schools, and unallotments are not permissible after the ruling by the Minnesota Supreme Court. Therefore, the projected $6 billion deficit is real, and the choices are limited to increasing revenue (taxes) or decreasing expenses (reforming government).
While many were enamored by Horner and his position in the middle, if one assumes lightning will not strike twice, Horner will not be governor. Mark Dayton and Emmer will each attract their respective bases. The Republicans will make gains in the state House and Senate, but the Democrats will still have control.
The next governor and a DFL Legislature will each create a biannual budget. If Dayton wins, billions in new taxes are coming. If Emmer wins, there will be a very heated battle in St. Paul. No party wants to shut down the state government for two years. In the end, Emmer and the Legislature will be forced to compromise for the betterment of the people. Thus Emmer is the compromise candidate.
• • •
Every Minnesotan has been asked to sacrifice in these last few years of recession and budget deficits. Everyone, that is, except the wealthiest.
Small-time landlords like me have to pay a $322 filing fee in housing court (about one-third more than two years ago). Public college and university students have seen tuition and fees soar. Low-income moms struggling toward self-sufficiency can't get help with child care costs, so they have to quit work. If you want to start a new line of work, whether as a cosmetologist, psychologist or private detective, the fees for a professional license have skyrocketed. Thousands of Minnesotans are unemployed, but the workforce center counselors who help them have been laid off, too.
Apparently all that's just fine with Tom Emmer; he'd continue along the same path. Rather than reset the tax rate on the wealthiest to what it was under Gov. Arne Carlson -- hardly a soaking -- he'd keep tightening the screws on low-income and middle-class Minnesotans.
Let's not give him the chance. Vote for Dayton.
• • •
Minnesota citizens are challenged to select the person who can best lead our state forward from a long period of political contentiousness that has produced little other than deepening problems.
It may seem strange that in such times the person most capable to lead is the one who is the least political, and Horner is that person.
We are presented with a choice of three major candidates, each of whom is qualified in various ways: Two of them represent the extremes of the political left and right in our state. The choice of either candidate would result in the continuation of the political contentiousness of the last dozen years as legislative caucuses, Republican and Democratic, seek to discredit whichever governor might be selected from the opposite party.
Minnesota needs a governor who is skilled not in political rhetoric or gamesmanship but who possesses the skills to bring opposing sides together in cooperative action. Horner will find constructive solutions to the problems that confront our state. Governing from either the right or left extreme is bound to produce nothing but continuing inaction.
In 1979, I was given the unique opportunity to serve as speaker of the equally divided Minnesota House of Representatives; such a division had never occurred before and has not since. Organization and functioning of the 67 Democrats and 67 Republicans was impossible under the traditional methods of political power.
Out of necessity, and challenged by the legislative concerns of the times, raw politics was minimized, and a system of balance, cooperation and mutual respect produced workable solutions to the problems that confronted us.
Horner is not just one person who can govern cooperatively from the center; he is the only one in the race who can.
When you consider his lifetime of communication skills and political experience, he clearly is the person we need to lead with legislators in solving the problems that years of political angst have produced.
• • •
When the family is right, then the budget and the economy will be right.
Emmer is the only prolife and profamily candidate for governor. He is my choice by far.
• • •
Dayton possesses the right blend of business sense, experience in job creation and dedication to our Minnesota values to succeed as a strong Minnesota governor.
Others may balance the budget, but Mark will do it in a way that champions the needs of children and seniors and supports the aspirations of families and working adults.
Throughout this campaign, Mark has demonstrated level-headedness, foresight, sound planning, fairness, respect for others and compassion.
Dayton is the complete package; don't settle for less.
• • •
Times are tough, and Minnesota needs creative, steady and collaborative leadership to move us forward.
I had the opportunity to closely work with Tom Horner and his business partner for 13 years. It was an incredible, valuable personal and professional experience.
He is a thoughtful, critical thinker who fosters an environment of openness and collaboration in all that he leads, whether for clients, his countless community volunteer activities or his employees. His passion is contagious, and his ethics are impeccable.
I offer another perspective as a former mayor -- Horner and his running mate Jim Mulder are brilliant public policy leaders who will champion a new era of much-needed reform and collaboration between local government and the state.
As a friend, mentor and former employer, I admire Horner and his vision for a new Minnesota. He's got my vote and deserves yours.
• • •
I'm sure I'm not alone looking forward to next Tuesday's election, the end of political campaign advertising, and being able to enjoy TV again.
The most offensive ad of all is now suddenly reappearing in the final days linking Tom Emmer to the tragic death of a woman's teenage son. I am deeply offended by this unfair implication.
• • •
Did you know Mark Dayton traveled unannounced to Wadena in late June to spend a day working with tornado relief workers?
No press coverage. No advance announcement. Just an extraordinary guy with a big heart.
The kind of guy I want for my governor.

kungfuters needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 285 designs submitted by 85 freelance designers.
Conch Tees
We are a small company that has had some decent success selling original, funny t-shirts on the web. We try to set ourselves apart by only printing ideas that haven't been done before. (We're not one of those cookie-cutter t-shirt shops that sells the same stuff as everyone else.) We focus our advertising efforts on social media, as it has been an essential tool in growing without a huge advertising budget. You won't find our banners all over the Internet like some other shops, but you will find people talking about us where it matters. We try to keep our designs PG13 or friendlier. Now, we want to up our game by using better quality shirts, finding better (and more) independent artists, hiring beautiful models, etc. We want to become a serious brand that sells funny shirts. This includes branching out into brick-and-mortar retail stores.
We mainly target high school to college age kids and even mid-20 to 30-somethings. Generally, these people still have a sense of humor and aren't tired of living. They like to express themselves by wearings clothes that match their personality. They aren't afraid to be bold. They aren't afraid to take chances. They're invincible, so they have the ability to wear their guts on their chests. We also take unique social opportunities to target certain cliques within these age ranges. We like to help young people make social statements in an original and humorous way.
You can find our current logo at http://www.conchtees.com. As you can see, it's pretty blah. We don't want something that looks like clip-art anymore. We want a brand, a real brand. We want something you'd see in stores and instantly know who made it. It has to be professional, unique, sharp, exciting, evocative, etc. While we make our transition to a designer shop, we want to use the phrase "designer series." (I'm not saying to use this phrase in the logo; I'm merely trying to give you an idea of how we're envisioning our new look.) The image will need to be recognizable without the text. If you use a conch shell, it had better be a unique conch shell. Keep in mind, also, that this logo will go on our website, our clothing, our clothing tags, in catalogs, on signs, etc. It needs to be versatile. Think "J. Crew of Funny T-Shirts." Be creative. We have no preconceived notions of what this SHOULD look like...we can only convey the attitude we're looking for.
Final file will need to be delivered in Adobe Illustrator or compatible.

Guet Group
Systems and Synthetic Biology of Genetic Networks
The Guet Group's scientific curiosity is centered around understanding systems of interacting genes and proteins that constitute themselves into genetic networks in bacteria. These bio-molecular networks are involved in a constant process of decision making and computation that takes place over various time scales: from seconds to the division time of an organism and beyond. By studying existing networks or by constructing networks de novo in living cells using synthetic biology approaches, he aims to uncover universal rules that govern biological genetic networks.
The group uses Escherichia coli as our favorite model system and is generally interested in microbial genetic systems given their relative simplicity and powerful experimental genetic tools available. An emphasis is placed on understanding the molecular biology and physiology of the single cell, since often population level measurements mask the behavior of the individual cell. To this end they use and develop in vivo techniques that are minimally invasive in order to quantitatively characterize the temporal dynamics of gene expression.

Current Projects
- Information processing at complex promoters
Promoters perform very basic information processing: physiological information from diverse cellular sources is integrated at the promoter level in order to produce a mostly binary response: gene activation or gene repression. Natural promoters have been shaped by evolutionary processes and reveal only a subset of all possible information processing capabilities. By building synthetic promoters we aim to understand the constraints imposed by the molecular hardware on the information processing potential of bacterial promoters.
- Systems biology of the Mar Regulon
The multiple antibiotic resistance or mar operon, as the name suggests, is an important genetic locus responsible for multiple antibiotic resistance in gram negative bacteria. Several genes that are components of the wider mar regulon integrate a variety of intra and extracellular signals. We are interested in a systems level description of the mar regulon at the level of the single cell, in order to gain a deeper understanding of how resistance towards a variety of different chemicals emerges in natural settings.

Urban Community Economics (UCE)
We are starting a consulting company to provide economic, market, and fiscal information to communities and builders/developers. Examples of the kind of work we do are real estate market studies that examine what kinds of housing, retail or office development are feasible. Financing plans for the infrastructure needed for new development, and economic impact studies of the effects of development on the economy of communities and the budgets of municipalities. Our key expertise is the economics of land use and of transit.
We want to focus on the area of our practice we enjoy the most, the transit oriented urban projects in cities across the country and overseas. We want to help those projects come to fruition by helping to ensure they are financially and fiscally feasible. To assist in that effort we want to create a strong brand identity and we believe that a logo is key to that effort.
The target audience for our company will be developers, builders, municipalities, and other professional firms (especially planners and architects). The particular part of that audience we want to appeal to is those who focus on transit-oriented development and what's called "TND" (traditional neighborhood development) or "new urbanist". We think what will appeal to that audience is something that doesn't look TOO modern and has a bit of a retro feel to it (as suggested by the TND term). But we think conveying who we are is more important than tailoring the logo to a particular audience.
We are looking for a logo that tells a bit about what we do and who we are. What we do is economic and financial consulting and who were are is people committed to sustainable communities. Sustainable in our profession means communities with a full range of household incomes, transit options, and services. To that end the logo should convey the notion of promoting density and transit, perhaps.
We think the logo should be simple and pretty graphic (not a lot of text, and not necessarily our name or acronym). The logo will be featured on our webpage, on our business cards, and on our stationery. To that end one version or several versions of the logo would be fine.
Here's are examples of logos we like: http://www.strategiceconomics.com
And here are ones we're not too fond of: http://www.epsys.com/
This one's not too bad: http://www.keysermarston.com
We have another idea now that we've gotten some entries. Mondrian in his painting Broadway Boogie Woogie depicted a sense of urbanism as he saw it in new york. Is it possible to incorporate that with the sense in some of the ideas of measurement, such as the horizontal and vertical arrows or lines? That would put Mondrian's grid on a graph or axes. Might work, we'd be interested to see it.

Senegal will participate in the Men's Olympic Football Tournament for the first time in their history after beating Oman 2-0 in their play-off at the City of Coventry Stadium.
Ibrahima Balde's opening goal after 90 seconds set Senegal on their way but the victory was not sealed until the closing minutes, when substitute Abdoulaye Sane converted to ensure his team's place among the 16 teams entering the draw at Wembley on Tuesday.
Oman earned a place in the play-off by topping a round-robin tournament in the final stage of Asian qualifying, while Senegal's second chance to reach the competition came after the West African side finished fourth at last year's CAF U-23 Championship.
And it was the latter who took the first step towards London after securing a second-minute lead. Productive build-up play on the right-hand side earned the Senegalese a free-kick which was delivered to the back post, where Balde rose highest to head his team in front after just 90 seconds.
The Osasuna forward, operating on the left of an attacking Senegal line-up, almost turned provider minutes later but his low cross from edge of the penalty box was drilled wide by Sadio Mane. Oman were struggling to impose themselves in the final third, with their only sight of goal a shot dragged well wide by captain Hussain Al Hadhri on the quarter-hour mark.
With central midfielders Stephane Badji and Ibrahima Seck providing a solid platform for Senegal to push forward, Balde and Moussa Konate made ground down either flank to give strong striker Kalidou Yero several opportunities. Sadio Mane and Konate also tested Oman goalkeeper Omer Al Abri after half an hour, as the Africans searched for a second goal.
Oman offered a reminder of their threat on 40 minutes when a long-range effort from wide-man Mohamed Al Maashari had Senegal keeper Ousmane Mane worried but the 21-year-old's looping strike eventually dropped onto the roof of the net. Balde almost doubled his and Senegal's tally but his shot from six yards was beaten away by Al Abri in the last action of the opening period.
Sub seals London berth
Senegal began the second half in similar fashion, with Yero drawing another smart save from Al Abri after Oman twice failed to clear their area satisfactorily. As the action became slightly scrappy but more stretched, the Asian side began to pose more problems on the counter-attack.
Al Maashari was released by a ball over the top on the hour mark and made the most of the room he was afforded but Al Hadhri narrowly missed his cross from the left. A minute later, Senegal tried to repeat the trick of their first goal but defender Kara Mbodji's header was not as accurate as Balde's and it drifted harmlessly over.
Oman coach Paul Le Guen decided to refresh his forward line, bringing on Hamood Al Sadi and Badar Bamasila for Abdul Al Maqbali and Ali Al Nahar respectively. The changes helped put Oman on the front foot and they came close twice in quick succession.
First, Waleed Al Saadi got behind the opposition defence but his shot from almost level with the goalline was too straight and was deflected behind. From the resulting corner, defender Mohammed Al Balushi produced a carbon copy attempt but suffered the same outcome.
Senegal held strong defensively, however, and they assured their place at the July/August tournament with three minutes left to play. Substitute Sane was played in down the right wing and his precise, placed finish had enough power to beat Al Abri, despite the goalkeeper's fingertip touch.
The result means Senegal join Gabon, Morocco and Egypt as CAF representatives in London, while Oman will have to try again for a maiden Games appearance at the Rio de Janeiro edition in 2016.

ITHACA, N.Y., July 31 (UPI) -- Stem cells can replace dead heart tissue after a heart attack very early in life, but they lose that ability in adults, U.S. and German researchers say.
Senior author Michael Kotlikoff, dean of Cornell's College of Veterinary Medicine, and colleagues at the University of Bonn said the study involving mice found undifferentiated precursor cells grow new heart cells in a 2-day-old mouse, but not in adult mice.
Kotlikoff said the finding settles a decades-old controversy about whether stem cells can play a role in the recovery of the adult mammalian heart following infarction -- in which heart tissue dies due to artery blockage.
"While the existence of these cells in adults is controversial, if one did have fully capable stem cells in adults, why are there no new heart cells after an infarct? Whether this is due to a lack of stem cells or to something special about the infarct that inhibits stem cells from forming new heart cells is the question we addressed, taking advantage of the fact that the newborn mouse has these cells," Kotlikoff said in a statement.
The study, scheduled to be published in the August issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that 2-day-old mice grew new heart cells and almost completely recovered from infarction, proving that the injury did not inhibit stem cells from growing new heart cells.

Talk of further declines for gold intensified Monday as analysts pointed out that moving price averages hit a so-called "death cross" last week.
The 50-day moving average for gold has now crossed below the slower-moving 200-day average, creating a "death cross," said Fawad Razaqzada, technical analyst at Forex.com, in a note Monday.
"This bearish technical development last occurred in mid-February of last year when the metal was trading at around $1,600," he said. "Although it did not immediately lead to a selloff then, as gold had already fallen sharply in advance to the crossover, prices started to move lower once again a couple of months down the line."
The market saw the 50-day moving average cross the 200-day moving average on Friday, according to Ole Hansen, commodities strategist at Saxo Bank.
"For the death cross to have any significance, the slope of the two moving averages both have to point lower, and this was the case on Friday's cross," he said. "From a purely technical perspective, this could indicate that deeper losses lie ahead." August gold futures traded at $1,245.20 an ounce on Comex Monday afternoon, down about 80 cents for the session.
Gold prices may have even reached a price ceiling already. Read about Monday\'s Comex gold trading.
In a note dated Monday, analysts at Citi Research pointed out that while gold rallied in February, supported by the restocking needs of the jewelers after Christmas and Chinese New Year, that caused gold to approach $1,400 an ounce.
Exchange-traded fund holders saw an "opportunity to offload into the jewelry demand," they said, and "that set a 'ceiling' of $1,400 an ounce, the apparent level at which ETF holders are willing to return as sellers."
"The threat is that those ETF holders may be lowering their ceiling constantly such that any jewelry-driven rise above $1350/oz may now trigger the same ETF sales," they said. "The year is therefore turning out to be a tussle between jewelry-trade buying and ETF selling."
Gold holdings in the world's largest gold-backed ETF, the SPDR Gold Trust , stood at 785.28 metric tons as of May 30, up from 776.89 metric tons on May 23, but they ended the month of February at 803.7.

I'm glad we got the exposure but I was a little disappointed in the lack of content. The only thing that struck me as noteworthy was this:
Is he referring to us? Or just anyone who considers themselves members of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster? What does he want to manage and organize?Bobby Henderson wrote:I'm not sure I want Pastafarianism to grow larger than it is now. At some point an organization grows so large that it becomes impossible to manage it without paid employees. Once money is in the picture, a lot of credibility is lost. Right now, no one can say FSM is about money. No one pays anything to be part of the community. We're at that point now, where we need better management and organization, and that's very hard to do without resources.
This interview just raised more questions than it answered, for me.

|Rum Run
|Become the Ultimate Merchant of the Seas! Are you a strategy game fan looking for an adventure? Rum Run is just for you! There is a free trial available for Rum Run with the full game running $.99. You can find Rum Run here at the Windows Phone Store.
The Windows Phone game Rum Run is now available in at the Windows Phone Store. We took an early look at the game a few weeks ago and found it to be a challenging time management/strategy game set on the high seas.
You play the role of a ship captain who is tasked to deliver food to a starving village. You buy/sell rum and food at various ports to finance the operation while dodging storms and pirate raids. You need to feed 100% of the village before they run out of the food. If they run out, the game's over.
Rum Run currently has five maps to conquer with more on the way and ship upgrades to help you tackle the trade industry better. Rum Run is a fun game to pass the time with and while it may not be action packed, it is plenty challenging. We did learn one tip that might be helpful. There is a way to battle the pirate ships that try to steal your rum.
There is an achievement in the fifth map called Behind Enemy Lines. You earn it by sailing one of your ships in to the volcano on the map. Once earned, your ship gets canons, capable of sinking the nastiest of pirates. Your canon feature remains in place if you go back to the previous maps, giving Rum Run a nice re-play value.

After almost two years of inaction, representatives from the Blue Bell-based development firm Hansen Properties said they have changed their plans for development of the historic Laverock Hill Mansion to include the construction of 155 market-rate townhomes, as opposed to 216 age-restricted units in the form of six four-story buildings.
A zoning change is required in both townships before the latest plans could be approved, and developers could apply for the change this summer.
The revised plans offered two alternatives: one calls for the construction of 44 townhomes in Cheltenham and 112 in Springfield; the other, for 35 homes in Cheltenham and 121 in Springfield. Both plans call for the historic gardens, designed by the renowned landscape architect Elizabeth Biddle Shipman, to be razed to make room for parking and for the mansion to be converted into professional office space.
The manor house would remain residential, with the cut-off line between professional and residential space being the mansion and the former portion of the greenhouse.
Hansen representatives appeared before the Springfield Township Planning Commission May 15 and the Cheltenham Township Public Works Committee June 13 and provided informal presentations of two alternate versions of earlier plans proposed for the property, the boundaries of which straddle both townships.
In between the presentations, developers changed their plans for the cottage cluster at the north end of the property, composed by the two gateway houses, garage and stables, to be residential as opposed to the professional use proposed earlier.
"The Planning Commission in Springfield Township was not enthusiastic about the sketch plan that was presented," said Bob Gutowski, Planning Commission chair, in a telephone interview June 2.
While developers have now conducted a traffic study, Gutowski noted that Springfield commissioners had voiced concerns about density, traffic, storm water management plans, sketches that are out of character with the existing neighborhood, and the loss of historic homes required to be demolished for said development.
"What [developers] are saying is, 'We know it's zoned for single-family housing, but we wanna zone it differently,'" Gutowksi said.
The 42-plus acres former Sims Estate, designed by renowned architect Charles A. Platt during World War I, at 1777 Willow Grove Ave., was included on the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia's 2010 Endangered Properties list. The portion situated in Springfield Township is zoned AA, which allows for construction of detached single-family homes. In Cheltenham, the site exists in an age-overlay district that allows for development of 55-plus housing. Senior housing dominated the plans the last time developers met with township commissioners.
Still at issue among the revised sketch plans are the modes of egress and ingress to the development. Earlier plans depicted three driveways that dumped motorists onto Willow Grove Avenue. Revised plans included two driveways and a widening of Willow Grove Avenue that also means the construction of left-turn lanes.
There is also the matter of the steep slopes that exist throughout the property. Developers maintain those slopes can be developed according to the numbers provided, but neighbors and commissioners disagree.
"It's not appropriate for the density proposed by the developers," said Mary Holland, a Springfield commissioner speaking as a citizen, about the location of the development in a telephone interview July 2. "[The plan] is really not responsive to site topography."
"It's a whole different ball game," said Scott Laughlin, chair of the Laverock Hill Neighbors Association (LHNA), a group of neighbors who reside in both townships dedicated to preserving the mansion and gardens, in an interview last week. "Up until this point in time we've been working as a community under the assumption this was going to be senior housing. Now, they want market-rate housing."
Laughlin said his group estimates that the property is only big enough to accommodate construction of 35 (versus 110-plus) homes in Springfield and 15 in Cheltenham. The proposed sketch plans represent a density three times that what is acceptable, he said.
"The use of the [mansion] as professional office space is not a preferred form of use," Laughlin said .
According to Laughlin, developers moved ahead with new plans at this time because talks about selling the property to Arcadia University petered out when a viable deal failed to be reached. He said developers told him that their vision of senior housing changed because they recognized there is no market for that type of housing at present.
Representatives for the developers could not be reached.
Representatives from Cheltenham Township could not be reached for comments, but the minutes from the June 15 commissioners' meeting illuminate similar concerns.
According to the minutes, Andrew Sharkey, Cheltenham Ward 1 Commissioner (the ward in which development could occur) asked developers if Springfield commissioners had stated if they approved rezoning. Ross Weiss, an attorney representing Hansen, said Springfield had not, and was waiting for Cheltenham's response.
Questions from Cheltenham Township officials centered on the same issues as those of Springfield commissioners, namely, traffic, storm water management, density and the elevation of the row units.
The recent informal presentations are the latest chapter in the process of pre-development, which came to a halt almost two years ago. At that time, lawyers for the developers had removed a time extension granted by commissioners to allow for additional talks between developers and neighbors as well as for additional design and planning. Despite suggestions expressed during those talks, developers filed their initial plans, but formal presentations and votes never occurred.
Those plans called for the aforementioned six four-story buildings with a total of 216 age-restricted units (27 in each building) and a 388-space parking lot on 10 acres of the Cheltenham Township side of the estate. It was then that unhappy residents formed the LHNA to voice opposition and mobilize efforts to save the mansion and architectural character of the neighborhood.
According to Gutowski, members of the township boards consider a number of elements when making decisions about development, and he listed a few:
"Is this development as presented in keeping with the character of the neighborhood? How would it impact the lifestyle of the community in the area? How does this plan make sense? Is it a good plan in terms of quality of life for the neighborhood?"
According to Gutowksi, a high-density project of this nature coupled with the lack of close public transportation is an equation that fails to present a desired outcome. While he said developers had responded to some community concerns, he listed the absence of landscape plans as another setback.
In addition to concerns from commissioners in both townships, neighbors at the Cheltenham presentation expressed various concerns, among them traffic, the character of the community, flooding and the steep slopes at various sites across the property, according to the minutes of the meeting.

NEW YORK (AP) — Jurors appeared uncomfortable Monday as prosecutors showed a video of a screaming woman made to appear as if she were being cooked alive over an open flame and other disturbing images from websites devoted to torturing and eating women — evidence prosecutors say proves a New York City police officer was involved in a cannibalism plot.
Officer Gilberto Valle frequently visited websites showing women in various stages of forced duress, including one that offered images of women who did not survive, FBI computer forensics examiner Stephen Flatly testified at Valle's kidnapping conspiracy trial.
"Some are dead. … A couple of them appeared to have been strangled," he said.
As Flatly described the images that were displayed on video monitors in federal court in Manhattan, some jurors put their hands over their mouths. One shook her head. Another wiped his brow.
One cannibalism website allegedly visited by Valle promised customers they would "only receive the highest quality human beef." The jury also heard how the officer allegedly looked up "how to tie up a girl," "human meat recipes," "how to chloroform a girl," "I want to sell a girl slave," "how to cook a girl," "death fetish" and "huge cooking tray" among other topics the defense says were part of a fetish fantasy that never posed a real threat.
The FBI analysis of Valle's laptop yielded an apparently staged video of a naked screaming woman hanging over an open flame that lashed close to her skin. Flatly did not say where the video might have originated. There also were several photos of women with bright red apples stuffed in their mouths.
Two images of naked women roasting on a giant spit were discovered in a computer file of several dozen photographs that Valle kept on a former college friend who prosecutors have identified as a target of the alleged plot to kidnap, torture and eat women. The face of one woman prosecutors say he targeted was cut out and pasted onto a cartoon of a woman being boiled in a pot.
Prosecutors also had wanted to present up to 34 exhibits of even more ghastly images found on Valle's computer depicting women being tortured, dead bodies and body parts. The photos included a picture of a dead body with the feet cut off — an image Valle's wife testified she saw when she went to one of his favorite sites and discovered why he stayed up late online.
But U.S. District Judge Paul Gardephe ruled they were not admissible because they were automatically stored in cache files on Valle's computer. "What we don't have is proof that he ever saw the images here," he said at the start of the second week of the trial.
But the judge permitted the screenshots of Valle's Internet searches about cannibalism. Also admitted was evidence the officer looked up articles written about the rape and murder of a young woman and others about a 15-year-old girl who was kidnapped and murdered in California.
The browsing history also showed that an article titled "Cannibalism can be addictive, expert says" and Facebook pages of alleged targets were viewed.
Valle, 28, has been held without bail since his October arrest. Throughout the trial, which began last week, his lawyers have attacked government evidence as nothing more than the reflection of a man engaging in extreme sexual fantasies with like-minded people around the world. The government has conceded that Valle never met the purported Internet co-conspirators and that no women were harmed.
Jurors have heard testimony from Valle's estranged wife and from former classmates and other women who said they knew Valle on a casual basis and never considered him dangerous. Their testimony was followed by evidence that all of them were the subjects of emails and chats describing how they could be snatched away and eaten.
The government was to conclude its case on Monday. The defense was expected to begin its case by playing the videotaped deposition of the Russian operator of a fetish website that Valle frequented.

Last May, Senate Intelligence Committee rookie Martin Heinrich was just settling into his new Senate office, five floors above the committee's fiercely guarded headquarters, and finally wrapping his head around some of the intelligence matters he'd recently been tasked to oversee when Edward Snowden happened.
Suddenly, the world was filled with news of National Security Agency surveillance programs whose scope Heinrich had only begun to grasp.
"All of that came to a head very quickly," said Heinrich, who'd attended his first intelligence briefing just six months before Snowden's leak of documents exposed the NSA's massive collection of Americans' cellphone and Internet data. "I started to realize that the program was much more expansive than my assumption when I was in the House."
It was uncharted territory for New Mexico's junior Democratic senator, who isn't given to bombastic statements or quick opinions. Instead, he speaks quietly with the measured precision of a former mechanical engineer. Many of his committee colleagues arrive at briefings flanked by staff; he often makes the trip alone. While reporters flock to the panel's better-known names, Heinrich tends to make it through the doors with no one demanding to know what he thinks.
But behind the low-flying demeanor, the panel newcomer has emerged as a leading voice in calls for reining in the NSA programs. It's a role that has him breaking ranks with Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who heads the committee, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat who first suggested Heinrich should become an Intelligence Committee member.
It's been a carefully traveled road for Heinrich, who took months to craft a solid position on the issue.
"I wanted to make sure that I had all the relevant information, that I wasn't jumping the gun or working off of partial information," he said of his journey from a member of the House of Representatives who voted to extend the law that allows the NSA programs to an opponent today. "I took my time and really made sure that things were as they appeared."
Elected to the Senate in 2012 after two terms in the House, Heinrich was coming off tenures on the House Armed Services Committee and the Committee on Natural Resources. He was angling for similar assignments in the Senate.
Then came the call from Reid. Heinrich could get a spot on the Senate's Energy and Natural Resources Committee, but Armed Services was out. Instead, Reid thought Heinrich would be well suited to the intelligence panel.
With no background outside of surface briefings in the House, the former city councilman from Albuquerque found the new assignment intimidating, he recalled.
"When you get dropped into that committee, you get dropped into what's going on this week in all of the conflict spots around the world. So you're hearing about what may have happened in Afghanistan or Pakistan or Syria or wherever this week," he said. "You don't necessarily have the big long-term context that you need to be really effective on the committee."
To get his bearings, Heinrich scheduled weekly briefings on his own time – "sort of Intel 101," he said – in which he met with committee staff to ground himself in the intelligence landscape.
Heinrich said he'd just learned about the NSA's surveillance programs when The Guardian newspaper first published documents revealing the agency's massive collection of business records on Americans' cellphone use. That first story described a court order that required cellphone providers to, on a daily basis, give the NSA details of every American cellphone account – what numbers had been called and how long calls had lasted, among other information.
While fellow committee members had years of intelligence experience to fall back on, Heinrich was still getting his bearings when Snowden's revelations threw the community into a spiral. Committee heavy-hitters such as Feinstein and longtime NSA critic Ron Wyden, D-Ore., quickly picked sides in the debate: Feinstein planted firmly in defense of the NSA, Wyden amplifying previous criticisms.
Stuck between two of the panel's most reputable voices, Heinrich walked a careful middle ground.
He finally laid his cards on the table in late October, when the committee was asked to vote on a Feinstein-sponsored bill that critics have called a cosmetic attempt to fend off greater overhauls. Four committee members – three of them from Feinstein's own party, including Heinrich – refused to endorse the legislation. Instead, they signed their names to a competing, and far more stringent, proposal by Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.
"I realized that if we don't push this issue a little further, we're going to continue to have this kind of overreach," Heinrich said. The move aligned him with more veteran NSA critics on the panel, Mark Udall, D-Colo., and Wyden, who said Heinrich's voice added a fresh take to their effort.
"As a Westerner, we're a long way from Washington, D.C.," Wyden said of Heinrich. "He doesn't just automatically defer to a lot of these agencies and personnel. He asks hard questions. That's a huge plus."
There was little in Heinrich's House voting record that would have telegraphed his transformation into one of the NSA's fiercest critics. Across his four years as a congressman, he voted to extend USA Patriot Act provisions that allow for the NSA's dragnet collection of Americans' data, a vote he says he wouldn't have cast had he known the extent to which the provisions were being used.
The discrepancies in his own positions highlight a problem with congressional oversight of intelligence, Heinrich said.
"You'll hear some people say, 'Well, Congress had been briefed, and this information was available to everyone.' That's not a particularly intellectually honest perspective, in my view," he said.
While the smaller size of the Senate makes it easier for members to fully understand classified matters, most House members are left to rely on that chamber's intelligence panel to make the calls, Heinrich said.
"I absolutely did not know the scope of what was going on under Section 215," Heinrich said of his time in the House, referring to the Patriot Act provision that authorizes the NSA program.
He said he'd voted to extend the provisions after conversations with House Intelligence Committee members whom he trusted. Those talks, it turned out, didn't paint a clear picture.
"They couldn't tell me details. They can't say things that are classified to somebody in an open session or sitting on the floor of the House," he said. "Getting to that info for the average (House) member who was not on the Intelligence Committee, the odds of them getting an accurate picture of what was going on were very low."
It's a disconnect Heinrich would like to focus on in the coming months, as the committee continues to adjust to the post-Snowden intelligence landscape.
The coming year isn't expected to be any easier for the intelligence community or its congressional overseers. Along with the NSA debate, which the committee remains divided over, the intelligence panel is bracing for a battle over the release of its massive report on the CIA's interrogation program, a reportedly scathing look at the agency's enhanced interrogation practices. Questions continue to arise on Syria and possible draw-downs of troops in Afghanistan.
It's been a whirlwind initiation year for the former intelligence rookie. But Heinrich said he'd found he was cut out for it.
"I really enjoy the productivity of the relationships, and you can't always see that from the outside. . . . (That) certainly is true in the intel committee," he said. "It's proven to be a really intellectually challenging and enjoyable place to be."

I just start to learn Lisp. And my question is
When I enter (princ "Hello"), why there are two lines of Hello printed out, one without quote, one with double quote. Same happened to print or write-line. But when I type (format t "Hello"), only one line Hello came out with Nil.
Can anyone explain why it works this way? Thanks!

You can use the desktop package to save the state of Emacs sessions, i.e. which files are open, where point is in them and so on. This is cool, but it saves the information in the current directory, which can be inconvenient. What would be better is if you could save the session by name, like "task-a" or "project-b".
I originally wrote some elisp to do this in answer to a StackOverflow question, but found it so useful myself that I expanded it to do more. The code is below, but here are the commands:
- my-desktop-save -- Save the current session by name
- my-desktop-save-and-clear -- Same as above, but clear out all the buffers so you start with a "clean" session
- my-desktop-read -- Load a session by name
- my-desktop-change -- Save the current session and load a different one
- my-desktop-name -- Echo the current session name
The Code
(require 'desktop) (defvar my-desktop-session-dir (concat (getenv "HOME") "/.emacs.d/desktop-sessions/") "*Directory to save desktop sessions in") (defvar my-desktop-session-name-hist nil "Desktop session name history") (defun my-desktop-save (&optional name) "Save desktop by name." (interactive) (unless name (setq name (my-desktop-get-session-name "Save session" t))) (when name (make-directory (concat my-desktop-session-dir name) t) (desktop-save (concat my-desktop-session-dir name) t))) (defun my-desktop-save-and-clear () "Save and clear desktop." (interactive) (call-interactively 'my-desktop-save) (desktop-clear) (setq desktop-dirname nil)) (defun my-desktop-read (&optional name) "Read desktop by name." (interactive) (unless name (setq name (my-desktop-get-session-name "Load session"))) (when name (desktop-clear) (desktop-read (concat my-desktop-session-dir name)))) (defun my-desktop-change (&optional name) "Change desktops by name." (interactive) (let ((name (my-desktop-get-current-name))) (when name (my-desktop-save name)) (call-interactively 'my-desktop-read))) (defun my-desktop-name () "Return the current desktop name." (interactive) (let ((name (my-desktop-get-current-name))) (if name (message (concat "Desktop name: " name)) (message "No named desktop loaded")))) (defun my-desktop-get-current-name () "Get the current desktop name." (when desktop-dirname (let ((dirname (substring desktop-dirname 0 -1))) (when (string= (file-name-directory dirname) my-desktop-session-dir) (file-name-nondirectory dirname))))) (defun my-desktop-get-session-name (prompt &optional use-default) "Get a session name." (let* ((default (and use-default (my-desktop-get-current-name))) (full-prompt (concat prompt (if default (concat " (default " default "): ") ": ")))) (completing-read full-prompt (and (file-exists-p my-desktop-session-dir) (directory-files my-desktop-session-dir)) nil nil nil my-desktop-session-name-hist default))) (defun my-desktop-kill-emacs-hook () "Save desktop before killing emacs."

(Reuters) - A South Dakota grand jury has indicted a Sioux Falls man on murder and manslaughter charges in the death of the 2-year-old son of Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, a county prosecutor said on Monday.
Joseph R. Patterson, 27, was indicted Friday on second-degree murder and two possible first-degree manslaughter charges in the death of Peterson's son, Tom Wollman, the state's attorney for Lincoln County, South Dakota, said in a statement.
Patterson would face a mandatory life sentence if convicted on the second-degree murder charge in the death of Tyrese Ruffin and a possible life sentence if convicted on first-degree manslaughter, according to prosecutors.
Police said they were called to a Sioux Falls apartment on October 9 because a child was unresponsive. They said at the time that Patterson had been watching his girlfriend's son, and they believed the child's injuries were consistent with abuse.
Ruffin died two days later, police said.
Patterson also faces charges of aggravated battery of an infant and abuse or cruelty to a minor, according to the indictment returned by a Lincoln County grand jury.
Peterson, the reigning National Football League most valuable player, told reporters he had learned about the child only two months ago and had been preparing to provide financial assistance to his son and the child's mother.
Peterson met the boy for the first time at a Sioux Falls hospital before his death and attended his funeral last week.
Prosecutors had charged Patterson initially with aggravated battery and aggravated assault in what police described as a severe child abuse case. Patterson, who has been held in a county jail on a $750,000 bond, remained in custody on Monday.
Wollman said Patterson would be arraigned on the new charges in the near future. No new court date had been set by midday on Monday.

The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) on Tuesday named Mahmoud Ezzat as its new leader after the Egyptian government arrested its former leader Mohamed Badie earlier on the same day.
Experts are suggesting that hardline MBs who managed to go underground to evade an arrest, would seek ways to avenge Badie's arrest.
Ezzat has strong relations with the international Muslim Brotherhood and with the Hamas movement, Tharwat Kharabawy, a dissident former MB leader, told Xinhua.
Ezzat is a hawk, Kharabawy said, "the real guide of the group" and the one "managing the group from behind the curtains."
The appointment means that the MBs are in no mood for peaceful negotiations with General al-Sisi and the new regime in Cairo.
Ezzat, former MB secretary general, has been a member of the guidance bureau and a deputy of Badie. In 1965 he was arrested and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
He was chosen as a member of the guidance bureau in 1981, and was arrested again in 2008.
According to the Egyptian authorities, Badie has been transferred to Mazraah prison in the Torah prisons' complex, where former President Hosni Mubarak and his two sons are currently residing.
Badie is going to stand trial on Aug. 25, together with his two deputies, Khairat al-Shater and Rashad al-Bayoumi.
The new Egyptian rulers appear determined to crush the MB. In an interview with the CNN, presidential political advisor Moustafa Hegazi said that putting Badie in jail is a step toward restoring law and order.
He said "Egypt is waging a fierce war against terrorism and criminal acts."
Hegazi suggested that the cruelest incident in all of Egypt's history was the execution of 25 off-duty security servicemen on Monday in the northern Sinai Peninsula.
European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said on Tuesday that she had offered to return to Cairo.
"I told the Egyptian prime minister at the weekend that I would be more than willing to go back to Egypt if they wish me to come back," said Ashton, who has been to Egypt twice since the regime change by the military.

Caribbean and Southern Literatures
John Wharton Lowe
Transnationalism and Global Studies have exploded old notions of artificial cultural boundaries, opening to view the myriad cross currents between the U.S. South and the Caribbean. Thus, the literature produced by the wider region of the circumCaribbean can be considered to reflect this interplay and as an alternative history to chronicles bounded by nationalism. While the age of contact and contest, the Haitian Revolution, and the U.S.–Mexican War were early focal points for interchange, the mutual influences of cultures have been dynamic, ongoing, and intricately connected to immigration, diaspora, racial conflict and mixing, and the creation of new forms of cultural expression. Nowhere is this dynamic more evident than in the literature of the circumCaribbean, especially in the new forms it has taken over the past fifty years.
Jack Kerouac and Translingual Literature
Hassan Melehy
Known primarily as the author of On the Road (1957), the novel most closely associated with the Beat Generation, Jack Kerouac (1922–1969) also wrote extensively about his French-Canadian heritage. A native of the large francophone community of Lowell, Massachusetts, he faced the dilemma of writing in a foreign language, English, while one of his motives to write was to memorialize a community assimilating to U.S. society and speaking French less and less. The recent publication of his two short novels in French from the early 1950s, La nuit est ma femme (The Night Is My Woman) and Sur le chemin (Old Bull in the Bowery), provides evidence that the preoccupation with travel informing On the Road is deeply tied to his sense of cultural and linguistic exile. Hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Quebec to New England in the 19th and early 20th centuries practiced survivance, cultural survival, especially through maintaining fluency in French and adhering to Catholicism while living among a Protestant majority. These customs of the Quebecois diaspora had begun in Canada: following the 1763 annexation of Lower Canada to Britain at the end of the French and Indian War, francophones resisted immense pressure to assimilate, both official and unofficial. Narratives of displacement from France and subsequently Quebec persisted in folklore and literature on both sides of the border through the 20th century.
In early 1951, Kerouac drafted La nuit est ma femme, telling the story of Michel Bretagne, a French Canadian from New England who wanders around the eastern United States with a sense of homelessness. Narrating in a French that reproduces the southern New England dialect, Michel laments that neither of the languages he speaks really belongs to him. The text develops the theme of cultural and linguistic mixing and its discovery through travel. Shortly after completing La nuit est ma femme, Kerouac brought this theme to On the Road, famously composing the novel on a roll of paper in three weeks in April 1951. Contrary to legend, he did extensive rewriting before his landmark work was published: Sur le chemin, which he drafted in late 1952, offers an "on the road" story about Franco-Americans and was by his own account a key part of the rewriting process. During this time, he elaborated his theory of "spontaneous prose," writing quickly and in an improvisational manner as a way of conveying geographic, cultural, and linguistic movement. In the wake of On the Road's depictions of the expanses of the United States, including its geographic place in North America, Kerouac turned to Franco-American New England. His next book, Dr. Sax (1959), takes place in Lowell and features lengthy passages in French; the novel's central concerns are his community's relationship to a legacy of displacement and the conflict between clinging to the past and creating something new. If there is a principal thrust in Kerouac's writing, it is to challenge American literature to recognize its transnational and translingual character.

One trick - don't just press the Reload Page button when you get the "Error 500" display, because it WILL, indeed, just reload the error page. I made that mistake myself.
Yeah, I figured.
Why would it not surprise me if some damn fundie decided to put "dem atheeeusts" in their place?
Thanks for the explanation. I think it is a compliment they want to take us down. Maybe our message is getting across. Wish we could take them all down. Wonder if the Pope has awakened. I understand Mother Teresa had serious doubts in her last years.
I don't think I'd WANT the Ratman on my side. Though I wouldn't mind it if he confessed his crimes.
"Awakened"? That's and interesting thought, Lillie, but I don't give the pope that much credit. He has too much hatred and bigotry to be non-religious. He has some serious de-converting to do before we can recommend that he meet with "The Clergy Project."."
I know Ning wasn't down, because I belong to another organisation that also uses Ning for its fora.
So if the answer is that Atheist Nexus was attacked somehow, it was only this Ning site and not Ning itself.

USA Women Poised for Cup Semis
It wasn't pretty, but it worked. The USA Women 7s team is off to the Houston 7s Cup semifinals, thanks to a 15-7 victory over Russia.
The game was marked by some nerves and the little mistakes that often result, but the USA once again rallied from a deficit for the win.
The opening looked promising for the Eagles, as Vix Folayan cleared the ball down the touchline and smothered the Russian receiver. Unfortunately, the USA wing didn't roll away, and Russia quickly mounted a return attack.
Both sides threatened each other's line, with Ekaterina Kazakova relieving pressure with a 50-plus meter break, then the USA getting into Russia's 22 meter with breaks from Nathalie Marchino and Vanesha McGee. Handling errors squashed the Eagles' chances at the first score, and it was an errant pass into touch that set up Russia's first try.
After the lineout, speedster Baizat Khamidova got around Kelly Griffin on the wing and linked up with teammates to keep the ball alive and into the USA's end. The Eagles were penalized for coming in from the side, and Kazakova inched Russia closer to the line. After a few phases, Khamidova enjoyed an overload but stepped back inside for the easy try. Nadezda Yarmotskaya slotted the conversion for the 7-0 lead.
Messy ball and missed passes continued to hamper the USA's attacking opportunities, and a bit of luck on the sideline enable Kimber Rozier to move the ball to Lauren Doyle alone on the wing. She had the pace to outrun two pursuers to the corner, 7-5. The USA had one more good scoring opportunity before the break, but the USA had try eyes and didn't realize an overload out wide.
Early in the second half, it looked like the USA had missed another scoring opportunity, after a blocked kick put the ball in McGee's hand. The poor pass out to Folayan allowed Russia's defense to adjust and force a scrum. But the USA answered nicely, as Katie Dowty pressured Russia's scrumhalf and forced a turnover. The ball worked out to Marchino, who had the overload but slid in between defenders for the try, 10-7.
Russia marched down the field during the next series and would have scored in the corner hadn't the finishing pass been ruled forward. Instead, Marchino tacked on some cushion on the next possession, hitting a half gap and outrunning a deflated Russian defense, 15-7.
The USA advances to the Cup semifinals against Australia, which defeated South Africa 17-12 in sudden death overtime.
Tries: Marchino 2, Doyle
Russia 7
Tries: Khamidova
Cons: Yarmotskaya

Katy Perry Performs 'Roar' on 'X Factor U.K.' [VIDEO]
Katy Perry was a tigress on the U.K. edition of ' X Factor,' performing on the show dressed like one.
The singer was surrounded by faceless dancers who were playing the part of rat racers, donning suits and carrying briefcases while their faces were obscured by white fabric. It was creepy cool.
Perry, also wearing an orange striped dress, resembling a tiger's coat, and a headband with ears, was back to her old tricks when it came to stage costumes. She remained largely static, standing while grooving in the center of the stage, surrounded by her dancing crew.
It ended with sparks and colors. She was tigress and we heard her roar. Hey, whatever big cat works, right?

text: Lucas: Farm Bill Should Provide Choices for Farmers December 6, 2012 03:27 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Meghan Vick Pro Farmer News Editor Email Twitter True to form, House Ag Committee Chairman Frank Lucas (R-Okla.), at the 2012 Farm Journal Forum hosted in partnership with Informa Economics, delivered a frank and dynamic address that revolved, not surprisingly, around the fiscal cliff and the related farm bill process. Lucas pointed out that when the "powers that be," namely President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), determine the farm bill must get done, it will get done. But, consistent with recent talk, Lucas did indicate that budget reconciliation will likely take the form of a mechanism similar to that of the failed supercommittee process of 2011, where all standing committees will be assigned specific dates by which they must take definitive action to deliver definitive cuts. He emphasized that roughly three weeks before year-end does not allow enough time to address the major budget issues and that reforms are needed. He expressed confidence that the ag committees would be able to step up and offer mandated savings, but again said a transition period will likely be needed considering the "magnitude of the changes we're talking about." He jokingly noted he likes the people at USDA and it is simply not possible for them to implement major changes and programs ahead of year-end when producers would be left without a safety net. That possibility is simply unacceptable, according to Lucas. Notably, Lucas noted that ag leaders had made "great progress" in recent days regarding the commodity title and said there is no reason we can't be ready to "pony up" and offer farm bill savings.

So, here's the color version of my happy little shoveller. The snow we had when I posted the sketch is long gone, but I'm sure there will be more to keep this little guy happy.
And here's the whole piece. The big snowy spaces provide room for type. The text, of course is top secret! It's wonderful though. Worth a wait! Working around type sometimes makes for compositions that are a bit odd looking, but snow, sky, light colored walls, etc. can help. Part of the challenge!
Today's Digital Baby Step is small indeed, but if you don't know it, maybe you'll like it as much as I do. You may know that when working in Photoshop, if you press the F key, you can change the look of your desktop. It's what you see around/behind the image while working on it. If you haven't tried this before, go for it! Just remember, if you don't like the different backgrounds (grays and black) the F key will bring you right back where you started. I've known about the F key for quite awhile, but I just learned something new.
When you have the black background, if you then press the tab key, you'll see your image and only your image on a black screen. It eliminates the tools and palettes from the screen. I like doing this at the end of the day, or when I'm going to be away from the computer for awhile. It's a good way to have a fresh clear look at your work when you come back. Here's an example of the work on the black "clean screen" when this work was in progress. Nice and clean and focused on the work and the work alone. When you want to get your tools and palettes back, just press tab again and you are good to go.

Unless you've graduated with honors from Soap Opera University, your head's probably still spinning from the whole Petraeus affair. I know mine is.
So the head of the CIA, David Petraeus, had an affair with his biographer Paula Broadwell. And she had a hissy fit over some other woman named Jill Kelley who she thought was having an affair with Petraeus. Oh, and a different general was infatuated with Kelley. This is not including the FBI agent who was investigating the case who sent Kelley topless photos of himself ... Seriously. You just can't make up stuff like this!
Now, sex scandals are nothing new in politics. They've probably been going on since George Washington's first day in office. It's bad enough this guy betrayed his wife, but for the life of me I can't understand the excuse many guys are throwing around, mainly that most men are just defenseless against beautiful women.
Sorry, but that's the biggest crock I've ever heard. Yes, you can certainly blame the mistress in this one, but come on, folks, it takes two to tango. Or in this case, two to do the horizontal mambo.
Despite the tough exterior, most men are weak, I'll give you that. Heck, many are pretty much just insensitive pigs. But none of that is an excuse for turning your back on your wife and spending time reading between the lines with an attractive, much younger woman writing a book about you.
This Petraeus guy is the head of the CIA, for crying out loud. Isn't he supposed to be made of sterner stuff? How can we trust him with any of our country's most valuable secrets if he can't even keep his flagpole from entering enemy territory?
At this rate, every rival of the United States is just laughing it up. They can simply toss all their guns and bombs. Forget the nukes. All they need is an army of super hot models to send in and seduce all the generals, spies, and soldiers. The U.S. wouldn't last two hours!
I guess we can give Petraeus some credit; he didn't keep denying the affair and embarrass himself even further. At least not to us publicly.
But get over it, guys who are excusing his behavior. He messed up. Big time. Like super-duper big time. Admit it was all his fault, he was weak, and there are zero excuses for what he did to his family and country.
Do you think men are just too weak to help themselves when it comes to attractive women?
