Introducing Our New Space Show: Dark Universe main content.
by AMNH on
Observe the night sky at the historic Mount Wilson Observatory, soar across the Milky Way Galaxy, and parachute through Jupiter's atmosphere in Dark Universe, the new Hayden Planetarium Space Show opening at the American Museum of Natural History on Saturday, November 2.
"In the last decade we have for the first time precisely measured the astonishing history of the universe from the Big Bang to now," says Curator Mordecai-Mark Mac Low. Dark Universe celebrates the scientific breakthroughs that have paved the way to our increased understanding of the universe, revealing that it is dominated by two mysterious phenomena: dark matter and dark energy.
To bring this story to the Hayden Planetarium Dome, the Space Show relies on stunning visualizations based on authentic data from NASA and European Space Agency missions, ground-based telescopes, supercomputer simulations, and research conducted at institutions around the globe, including the Museum.
The Hayden Planetarium Space Theater is on the third floor of the Rose Center for Earth and Space, pictured.
Behind these visualizations is a team led by Mac Low, who studies the formation of planets, stars, and galaxies, and oversees the presentation and interpretation of science in the Space Show. He works closely with visualization experts, including Space Show director Carter Emmart, to bring the latest science in this field to the Hayden Planetarium Space Theater dome.
In this way, says Emmart, Space Shows are a 21st-century example of a long-standing Museum tradition: artists collaborating with scientists to bring scientifically accurate depictions of the natural world to the public. "We put a lot of effort in previous generations into making the habitat dioramas—they're early data visualizations, because they're showing accurately the animal and the place it inhabits," says Emmart. "The modern planetarium is an immersive diorama. We're taking our best knowledge, and we're actually putting you in these places in the universe."
Over the next few months we'll be sharing what goes into the making of a Space Show at the Museum. Check back for a glimpse behind the scenes, hear from the curator and the production team, and more.

Man who confessed to fatal DUI in YouTube video pleads guilty
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Confronted at a hospital by police who said he'd just killed a man, drunk driver Matthew Cordle was angry and in denial.
"He became very irate, and began yelling, he didn't kill anyone, he didn't do it, and he wasn't going to give them any blood sample," Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien said Wednesday.
Sober and in recovery, Cordle had a change of heart. He decided to plead guilty as quickly as possible, and made an online video confessing to the crime. He didn't waver from the position he took in the Sept. 3 video, and on Wednesday he made good on his pledge and pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicular homicide.
"I drank so much I was blacked out," Cordle told Franklin County Judge David Fais near the end of a 38-minute hearing.
"So I would say this was a binge drinking situation, correct, Mr. Cordle?" Fais asked.
"Yes, your honor," Cordle said.
His guilty plea came just over a week after he was indicted, light speed compared to most court cases which can drag on for weeks or months.
Sentencing was set for Oct. 10. Cordle, 22, faces two to 8 1/2 years in prison, a $15,000 fine and loss of driving privileges for life. He also pleaded guilty to operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol. His blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit of 0.08.
In a 3 1/2-minute video posted two weeks ago, Cordle admitted he killed a man from another Columbus suburb and said he "made a mistake" when he decided to drive that night. "My name is Matthew Cordle, and on June 22, 2013, I hit and killed Vincent Canzani," he says somberly. "This video will act as my confession."
Cordle told Fais he'd been at a series of bars near downtown Columbus and was on his way home but remembered little else.
"I have no recollection," he said, when asked if any of his friends had tried to stop him from driving. He also couldn't remember how long he'd been drinking or if he'd had anything to eat. His attorneys said he may have suffered a brain injury from a cracked skull in the accident.
Two other cars narrowly avoided involvement in the crash that night, including two women in a car who suffered minor injuries as they swerved to avoid Cordle, O'Brien said.
Cordle did not ask to be released before sentencing and the judge revoked his $255,000 bond.
Cordle received permission to give a media interview from jail Thursday with a news organization his attorneys wouldn't identify.
O'Brien said he believed Cordle's remorse in the video was genuine, but he said any further interviews would be self-serving. He also disputed Cordle's assertion in the confessional video that he could have fought the case against him, which O'Brien called "a slam dunk."
"It's nonsense to think that you can beat that case, and any lawyer that told him that was trying to get a large fee on some kind of promise," O'Brien said.
O'Brien is seeking the maximum sentence. Cordle's attorneys say they will ask for a sentence that's fair. They defended Cordle's upcoming interview, saying he wants to get his anti-drunk driving message out.
"He'll be the first person to tell you anytime you sit down and talk with Matt that this is not about him, it is about the Canzani family," defense attorney George Breitmayer said. "He's just trying to make something good come out of a terrible, terrible situation."
Canzani's daughter told a TV station last week that the attention the case has gotten is forcing her to relive what happened. Angela Canzani told WCMH-TV in Columbus that people seem to forget a person died.
The YouTube version of Cordle's video has been viewed more than two million times. It begins with Cordle's face blurred as he describes how he has struggled with depression and was simply trying to have a good time with friends going "from bar to bar" the night of the accident. He then describes how he ended up driving into oncoming traffic on Interstate 670. Cordle's face becomes clear as he reveals his name and confesses to killing Canzani.
He ends the video by pleading with viewers not to drink and drive.

Thomas dominates, No. 8 Terps beat Terriers 110-53
A two-week break couldn't slow down Alyssa Thomas and the
Maryland Terrapins.
Thomas scored 18 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and added 10
assists for her second triple-double in three games and fourth of
her career as Maryland posted its highest point total since 2006
and largest margin of victory this season with a 110-53 win over
Wofford on Saturday in the Terrapin Classic semifinals.
"Often times, you see teams come out in this game and they're
sluggish and really struggle to find their rhythm," said Maryland
coach Brenda Frese of her squad, which had last beaten Delaware
State on Dec. 14. "And I thought we were really, really
Shatori Walker-Kimbrough tied a career high with 17 points and
hit a career-high four 3-pointers in the Terps' ninth straight
victory, the last three of which have come by an average of 54
And Tierney Pfirman and Brene Moseley each added 14 points, a
career high for the former and a season high for the latter.
"The triple-double, my teammates, they make it so easy," said
Thomas. "They knock down open shots."
Maryland will play the winner of Saturday's other semifinal
between Howard and College of Charleston before beginning ACC play
next weekend at No. 10 North Carolina.
Jordan Frazier scored 19 points for Wofford (2-9), which has now
lost the first five games of a seven-game stretch away from
She was the only player with more than five points for the
Terriers, who have lost 17 straight road contests dating back to
last December.
"I think our realistic goal was to just play hard," Frazier
said. "We came in expecting – not to lose – but that it was going
to be a tough game. And I think we just wanted to execute our stuff
and play good defense. We didn't always do that, as you can see,
but that's what we wanted."
Most defenses would've struggled to shut down a Maryland offense
that shot 50 percent (9 of 18) from 3-point range and 62 percent
(41 of 66) from the floor. The Terps also out-rebounded the
Terriers 46-25.
Walker-Kimbrough, a freshman, bested her 3-point career mark by
halftime to help Maryland effectively ensure victory by the
Her first 3 came in an early 10-0 run that pushed the lead to
18-5. She hit two more in a 9-1 spurt that stretched it to 35-17,
and her last, off a kickout feed from Moseley, made it 56-28 to cap
a 12-0 half-ending run.
"My teammates found me and the shots went in,"
Walker-Kimbrough explained.
It was more of the same after halftime, with Thomas hitting an
inside basket and assisting on a pair of transition layups as the
Terps stretched the lead beyond 40 at 70-30.
The Terps later pushed it to 50 when Sequoia Austin's 3-pointer
made it 85-35, and Thomas got her key 10th assist inside the final
two minutes with a feed to Pfirman, prompting a late substitution
and a reality check for Wofford's worn-down defense.
"All of her points were discrete," Frazier said of Thomas.
"When she came out of the game and I saw how many points she
scored, I was like, `I don't remember any of that.' She's pretty
Maryland guard Lexie Brown missed Saturday's game to attend to
family issues, but is expected to return to the team for Sunday's

I finally got a copy of the new album by Det Vackra Livet. It has actually only been out for a couple of weeks now but I have been dying to hear this album! I fell hard for the Mary Onettes a couple of years ago when they released their second album Islands in 2009. Things sure seem to happen in cycles. The last Mary Onettes album came out about the same time as the first Cold Cave album and another Morrissey compilation and now all 3 have releases this month again! Maybe Morrissey just releases too many albums...but I don't think there really could ever be enough. Some might say that the debut self titled Mary Onettes album from 2007 is even better than Islands, and I go back and forth on which I like better but they are both essential albums that you should own. The band is from Sweden, which is reason enough to fall in love with the Mary Onettes! I am telling you, I just love Sweden. They mix an 80s sort of Ultravox and Pet Shop Boys sound with maybe some Sigur Ros and the twee sounds of Belle & Sebastian.
The two brothers from The Mary Onettes have just released a new album in their native tongue -- Philip and Henrik Ekstrom are now known as Det Vackra Livet for this new project. It has all of the elements that I love from The Mary Onettes, just without the English. This is beautiful stuff. I have been really loving this new album which was released on the same excellent label that released The Mary Onettes albums, Labrador... which of course has my name right in the middle of it, so of course I was going to love this label! They have put out some of my favorites over the last decade from artists like The Acid House Kings, who also just released a fantastic new album, as well as my favorites Radio Dept. and The Legends. And Pelle Carlberg! And Club 8 and The Sound of Arrows! This label can seriously do no wrong. They have been so consistently awesome that I really don't even understand how they do it. But I thank them for it. Please do yourself a favor and check out this new album from Det Vackra Livet. You will not regret it.

How to Use Bike Lanes
Sharrow (Shared Lane)
Sharrow (Shared Lane)
Sharrows are used to guide bicyclist on streets that do not have bike lanes. Sharrows recommend where it is generally safest for the bicyclist to ride, positioned toward the middle of a lane. This position reminds bicyclist to ride far enough away from the parked vehicles to avoid being struck by suddenly opened car doors. Sharrows also guide bicyclist toward the center of the lane to discourage unsafe passing within the same lane.
Sharrows serve to alert motorist that bicyclists may be using the full travel lane. To pass a bicyclist who is using the full lane or a lane with sharrows, a motorist should wait for a safe opportunity to move entirely into an adjacent lane.
Additionally, "Bicycles May Use Full Lane" signs remind all of us that people have the right to use the full travel lane, using a bicycle or a vehicle.

Lobi Traore [Lobi Traore]
Lobi Traore [Lobi Traore]
Perhaps nowhere in African music is the link with American blues more raw and cogent than in the music of Mali's Lobi Traore Band; though Lobi himself — the so-called 'Bambara bluesman' — is ambivalent. 'When I was young, before I even knew I would become a musician, I listened to a lot of blues - John Lee Hooker and all that,' he says. 'Maybe I was inspired by it. Maybe the blues was inspired by Africa. Maybe it's just a coincidence. But, listen - the music I play comes from me and from my place.' Lobi Traore was born in 1961 in Bakaridianna, Mali, on the left bank of the River Niger fifteen miles from Segou. Both his parents were singers, and members of the komo — the most important of three secret castes in Bambara society, charged with the custodianship of divine knowledge. Lobi followed in their footsteps and in adolescence undertook a series of initiation rites that included walking through fire, living in a forest inhabited with wild animals, and going days without food and water. When his initiation was complete, he entered the komo and undertook never to betray its mysteries. At the same time he pursued his training as a musician, moving to Segou in 1977 to sing with a traditional Bambara folk group. Before long he had moved on again — to the Malian capital Bamako, 150 miles to the south-west, where he got his first guitar and joined the Djata Band, one of the first Malian orchestras to tour France. Soon afterwards Lobi began his solo career, playing at weddings and in bars such as the now-closed Bozo, once the most jumping nightspot in Bamako, where he established a popular residency. He also travelled to Abidjan for a three month club engagement — and ended up staying seven years. Back in Mali, he recorded his debut album Bambara Blues in 1991, followed in 1994 by Segou, which was produced by Ali Farka Toure. He also toured extensively in Europe, recording his album Duga there at the end of the decade. By now, Lobi was not only a notable musician but one of Bamako's most flamboyant characters. He wasn't playing formal concerts for foreigners at cultural centres, but entertaining beer drinkers in the city's funkiest bars. He also cut a dashing figure, as Banning Eyre describes in his book In Griot Time : 'Lobi stood barely five feet, but he made up for his diminutive stature with an outrageous wardrobe. Rarely seen without his brown French beret, Lobi could fill out his look in radically different modes. Sometimes he played the proud Bambara hunter in patterned brown and black mud-cloth robes. Other times he dressed in biker's leather or a lumberjack's plaid shirt and blue jeans. His kinkiest outfit including a matching vest-and-trousers combination made from a furry, bright green material.' The album was recorded outdoors, in a yard with a broken-down bar and disused concrete dancefloor, at the end of a dirt road on the outskirts of Bamako. The venue had once been an open-air club called the Ma Kele Kele, where Lobi often performed, but had long since been closed down by the police. (Now getting shut down takes some doing in Bamako, where once it's dark, pretty much anything goes. But the Ma Kele Kele had managed it scandalously, after a couple having sex in the branches of a mango tree had fallen onto a dancer below.) Lobi's young band arrived with a drum kit strapped to the roof of a battered old car and over the next week — a day was lost when a huge thunderstorm knocked the electricity out — both band and engineers powered up with a single skinned cable running across the red mud from the bar, as turkeys and geese pecked at the microphones. As you can hear, what the sessions disdained in terms of sophistication, they make up for in pure, spontaneous energy. There were no overdubs, no second takes. Just Lobi and his band conjuring their feral Malian magic under African skies. The Bambara blues at its stone funkiest: 'hallucinogenic... very far-out' (The Beat).

A man who served 13 years in prison before his homicide conviction was overturned sued the city of Milwaukee and itspolice department Thursday, the same day authorities filed new charges against a man whose DNA they say was found on the victim.
Chaunte D. Ott, who was convicted in 1995 in the death of a 16-year-old runaway, claims in his federal lawsuit that officers coerced two people to give false testimony and failed to intervene when DNA testsafter his conviction showed he did not commit the crime.
"I'm still kind of stunned they had audacity to proclaim I'm guilty of that crime," Ott, 35, told The Associated Press. "But my attitude is, I've never been bitter. I feel like I just have to live each day."
Authorities have now linked the DNA to Walter E. Ellis, 49, ofMilwaukee. Police and prosecutors said his DNA matched samples taken from the runaway, Jessica Payne, and at least eight suspected prostitutes killed from 1986 to 2007.
Ellis, already facing two counts of first-degree intentional homicide, was charged Thursday with three more counts of first-degree intentional homicide and two counts of first-degree murder — the equivalent charge that was state law when the deaths occurred,Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm said.
Each charge carries a maximum penalty of life in prison.
Ellis' attorney, Alejandro Lockwood, did not return a message Thursday seeking comment.
Ellis has not been charged in Payne's slaying or in the death of one of the suspected prostitutes. While the other eight women were strangled, Payne was found partially nude with her throat slit.
A DNA profile from semen on Payne's body did not match Ott, the lawsuit said.
Chisholm said Thursday the investigation into Payne's death was continuing, but declined to speculate on whether charges would be filed in her killing.
Dawn Payne, Jessica's stepmother, said she didn't want to comment on the latest developments.
Chisholm wouldn't comment on the lawsuit filed by Ott. Prosecutors have reserved the right to refile charges against him.
Ott, who said he didn't know Ellis, has maintained his innocence. The Oak Creek man said he could have agreed to a 10-year sentence in exchange for a guilty plea, but he refused.
"I never regretted that decision," Ott said. "I knew the truth was going to come out sooner or later."
He was convicted in 1995. The Wisconsin Innocence Project took up his case in 2002, and tests concluded the DNA in the case didn't match his. Ott was freed in January after a state appeals court ruled that he deserved a new trial.
His lawsuit does not specify the damages sought. Ott's attorney, Jon Loevy, noted that in similar cases people have been awarded $1 million or more for each year of wrongful incarceration. The suit names as defendants the city, two former police chiefs and at least eight present and former detectives.
Milwaukee police spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz said the department felt it had probable cause when it arrested Ott, and noted that a jury had found him guilty.
"We recognize that DNA technology evolved long after the trial was over that was sophisticated enough to prove that Ott did not have sex with the victim," she said in a statement. She declined to comment further.
The city attorney did not immediately return a telephone message.
Ott's sister, Pachion Carlson, said he missed out on the first 12 years of his nephew's life. She said their mother is very sick and Carlson had hoped he would be released in time for them to be together again.
"Our family has gone through a lot of pain," she said.
Loevy said two men were improperly pressured into implicating Ott. Both men recanted their statements, theInnocence Project said. Loevy also said the DNA profile taken from Payne's body matched profiles generated from at least two more homicides carried out while Ott was behind bars, but authorities didn't tell Ott.
Ott, who is pursuing an associate's degree at Milwaukee Area Technical College, hopes to become a counselor for at-risk teens. He said the lawsuit is about bringing justice to people mistreated by the system.
"There are other guys languishing in prison trying to get their voices heard," he said. "I feel like this is a chance for me to have a voice and tell people about the situation they're in."

Bake the Book: Cold Sweat (Chile, Ginger, and Lemongrass Ice Cream)
Get the Recipe
When the heat is this high, turn it down with a cold burn. The Ice Creamists' takes the spice of chili, the bite of ginger, and the zest of lemongrass and blends it up with sweetened cream.
Tips: For instructions on how to make this ice cream without an ice cream maker, see the "Tweaks" section of the Gin & Tonic Sorbetto post.
Tweaks: The suggestion to serve this in a cone isn't random—the spiciness of the ice cream begs for a contrast in texture. If you don't have cones at the ready, crumbled cookie or cone pieces will do well. A simple chocolate cookie works.

blinkweb needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 32 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
Please see the "project brief" below, as I've listed some very detailed specs for you, to hopefully help you come up with a fantastic looking design! :-)
Hello, we need a homepage created. The domain name is BradCallen.com
The purpose of the website will be to give away 3 different books.
- The SEO Mindset
- The Super Affiliate Mindset
- The Adwords Mindset
We need this headline to be prominent on the top of the site:
"Get Any Of My Best Selling, Internet Marketing Courses For Free!"
Leave a sample space for each of the 3 books. I'm going to have an image designed for each book. Ideally, I would like each book to be roughly 209 pixels in width. So, just insert a sample image for now that is roughly that size. It can be smaller if you need, but the idea is to make sure that the books are extremely visible and users know what they are. If they're too small, users won't really know what they are and it won't have the same effect.
The books should span from left to right across the website. They should not be stacked, 1 on top of the other. There should be a small description of each book below the corresponding book.
Below the description of each book should be a button that says "Learn More!"
To the right hand of the site, from top to bottom, should be a section where there are comments from internet marketing gurus.
Each comment should include a small photo of the person's face, their comment, and also their website domain name.
At the bottom of the site, should be a section where users can post comments in a "What Others Think" section of the site.
This part will act like a blog, in that users will be able to post comments. Don't worry about the functionality, as our coders will program this. Just focus on designing it in a way that will look nice.
There should be a section on the site that says something like "Why you should learn from me". When users click it, it will take them to another page where I list a bunch of reason why they should listen to what I teach. Don't worry about designing that page. Just focus on where on the page, and how to display this section on the homepage.
Look & Feel:
1. Glassy/Shiny look
2. Blues and light colors always look nice
3. Need a nice looking logo image to display my domain name in the header. My main "brand" are products that end in the word "Elite", so maybe use that wording somehow.
Thank you. Looking forward to what you can come up with!
- Look glassy/shiny
- Blueish color scheme, but don't just use all blue everywhere
- Nice looking header image with nice logo that matches design
- techie looking site
- dull, not glassy
- all gray and boring colors
- neon colors and too insanely bright and amateurish color scheme

The Irish rugby media and public are currently seeking an answer to the question of whether they have ever, at any point in the past, spoken about the fact that Brian O'Driscoll was dropped last summer during the British and Irish Lions tour to Australia in 2013.
"Not sure if I ever mentioned this fact before, but O'Driscoll was dropped last summer," said Michael Earls of the Leinster Supporter's Club. "Warren Gatland, who is coaching Wales now, was the man who dropped him. Did I ever say that?"
Similarly, Elaine Connors of Munster has also publically appealed for an answer to the vexing question. "Did I, or any of my fellow patriots, ever voice our opinion on the non-selection of a certain Irish player last year?" pondered Elaine to anyone who would listen.
Ireland's top journalists and pundits are also debating whether to mention the non-selection of Brian O'Driscoll in any of their media output this week ahead of the Six Nations clash with Wales or whether to ignore the issue for fear of realising too late it was a topic they had addressed previously.
"That would be awfully embarrassing," said one Irish Times journalist (off the record).
As reported previously on The East Terrace, the Irish rugby community is furious that players like Brian O'Driscoll and Paul O'Connell were finally part of a successful Lions tour after a succession of miserable failures dating back to 2001.
Many in Irish rugby are also annoyed that after coming fifth in last year's Six Nations (and bottom from all the unions which make up the British and Irish Lions) they only supplied almost a third of the starting lineups for the opening two tests.
"Gatland clearly hates the Irish," said Earls. "If the likes of Bowe and Healy hadn't been injured before the first test against OZ we would have only had about six players in the starting lineup. We came fifth in the Six Nations. We should have had more. I tell you, as a grown man who can vote and have children, Gatland is holding a grudge against us after his time in Ireland and paid us back by dropping one Irish player for the third test test and at the same time bringing in Sean O'Brien. Is it not clear he hates us? Woe is us and a plague upon all things Kiwi."
Despite the time that has lapsed since the Lions series victory, actual real human beings like Rob Henderson (on the BBC's Scrum V (aka as Mob V) on 2nd Feb) are still suggesting that Gatland should have selected a specialist centre on the bench for the third test and then brought that specialist centre on for a farewell, sentimental ten minutes of rugby.
The Irish rugby community has asked the world's media and fans to help them find a voice and air their righteous grievance with the world. The East Terrace is proud to support that cause.
"Please use #didweevermentionBODwasdropped on social media to help spread the word," added Earls. "Never forgive, never forget and never, whatever you do, apply logic and reason."

nicholas spangler has not received any gifts yet
Hey Nick,
Sorry, I didn't see your Monday message and just now saw your one for Thursday. I'd love to hit, but unfortunately I'm actually hitting that night already. I am going to start trying to email your hotmail address -- hopefully you'll get those better, and I get yours more timely too -- I hope, since Outlook took it over who the hell knows...but anyways...
Farther out then two days, I can schedule around much easier, just so you know. NTC forces me to schedule 2 days in advance for reservations, so anything beyond that I can usually plan better around. NTC is quicker than McCarren, and pristine, but since McCarren resurfaced (have you played since it has been resurfaced), it's not bad. It's grittier and plays slower though, and oh yeah, nothing blocking between the courts. During the day is kinda fun on weekends when it's nice.
I do play at NTC more than McCarren anyways, nearly every night because I like indoors better. Weekend is booked for me because of visitors, but next week after the Tuesday league play is good, say Wed or Thurs, Friday or really any day if I get a notice more than 2 days in advance. If we work out, I wouldn't mind working you in once or twice a week at night -- Ideally maybe a Tues., Wed. and/or Fri. night.
See you Friday,

About Dr. Michael Youssef
Even before he was born, it was evident that God had a vision for
Michael Amerhom Youssef
. His mother was in poor health at the time she became pregnant with Michael, and because her life would be jeopardized by the birth, the doctor recommended terminating the pregnancy. An abortion procedure was scheduled. But God intervened, and sent the family pastor to reassure them the night before the procedure was to take place that God was involved in this pregnancy, not to be afraid, and that this child would be "born to serve the Lord." Michael's parents accepted the pastor's message as a message from God and obeyed. His mother gave birth, and lived to see him surrender his life to the Lord in 1964 at age sixteen.
Believing that God was calling him out of Egypt, Michael sought an exit visa at a time when no university student was permitted to hold a passport or leave the country. God intervened again, and miraculously provided approval of his application. He immigrated to Australia, where he studied at Moore Theological College in Sydney, was ordained as a minister, and met and married his wife, Elizabeth.
The Youssef's came to America in 1977, and in 1978 Michael received a master's degree in theology at Fuller Theological Seminary in California. He later earned a doctorate in social anthropology from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. Michael served for nearly ten years with the Haggai Institute, traveling around the world more than 32 times, teaching courses in evangelism and church leadership to church leaders. He rose to the position of Managing Director at the age of 31. The family settled in Atlanta, and in 1984, Michael became a United States citizen, fulfilling a dream he had held for many years.
He founded The Church of The Apostles in 1987 with fewer than 40 adults with the mission to "Equip the Saints and Seek the Lost." The church has since grown to a congregation of over 3000. This church on a hill was the launching pad for
Leading the Way
's international ministry. While heard by millions at home and abroad, behind every message preached over the airwaves is a pastor's heart, longing to feed and care for people. Clearly God has uniquely equipped Dr. Youssef to speak to a worldwide audience. The path he has walked has given him a thorough cross-cultural understanding and a firm grasp of Scripture. He preaches, teaches and exhorts with a straightforward and uncompromising delivery, based on the authority of the inspired, infallible Word of God. His unique, firsthand understanding of the Holy Land, its history and culture, brings the Bible to life for listeners.
Leading The Way
claims Dr. Youssef as the ministry's number one volunteer. He receives no compensation for his time, nor does he receive royalties from the sale of any of the resource materials he produces and authors.
God called Dr. Youssef, even before birth, and is using
Leading The Way
to reach millions of lost souls, equip the saints, and build up His church worldwide.

Brussels, 10 June 2009
European Commission outlines its vision for the area of freedom, security and justice in the next five years
The European Commission today adopted two communications analysing the EU's work on justice and internal affairs in recent years and setting out its priorities for the future. Ordinary citizens should be at the heart of the future Stockholm Programme, to be debated by the European Parliament and adopted by the European Council before the end of the year, which will provide a framework for EU action on the questions of citizenship, justice, security, asylum and immigration for the next five years.
"In future, EU action must aim above all at delivering the best possible service to the citizen in an area of freedom, security and justice more tangible for the citizens", according to Commission President, José Manuel Barroso. "We want to promote citizens' rights, make their daily lives easier and provide protection, and this calls for effective and responsible European action in these areas. In this context, I consider immigration policy particularly important. This is the vision the Commission is presenting to the Council and Parliament for debate, with a view to the adoption of the new Stockholm Programme by the European Council in December 2009".
Vice-President Jacques Barrot, Commissioner in charge of the Justice, Freedom and Security portfolio, stated: "Freedom, security and justice are core values which constitute key components of the European model of society. We have made substantial progress in creating an area of freedom, security and justice in recent years. The priority now must be to put the citizen at the heart of this project in order to demonstrate the added value of the European Union in areas that have such a bearing on people's daily lives."
It is ten years since the European Union set itself the target of creating an area of freedom, justice and security. With the Tampere 1 and Hague 2 programmes giving the necessary political impetus, significant progress has been made.
The priorities identified by the Commission take account of recent developments in the area of freedom, security and justice. The progress achieved and the lessons learnt over the past five years are analysed in detail in the communication evaluating the Hague programme. The experience we have gained should help us to meet the major challenges facing the European Union.
Some examples of the challenges we face:
People want to live in a European Union that is prosperous and peaceful, where their rights are respected and their security protected. They want to be able to travel freely, and to move temporarily or permanently to another European country in order to study, to work, to found a family, to set up a business or to retire. They want easy access to justice, the possibility of enforcing judicial decisions issued by other Member States and protection from a variety of threats (organised crime, terrorism). This can only be achieved by better, more efficient cooperation between the police forces and judicial systems of the Member States.
The European Union must also mobilise to help people and businesses cope better with the short-term problems of the economic crisis and, in the longer term, to meet the challenges of a globalised society and an ageing European population. It must establish a flexible migration policy enabling it to respond to its employment needs and make use of the opportunities provided by foreign labour. It must also uphold its humanitarian tradition by offering its protection generously to those who need it.
What are the policy priorities?
The future programme should be devised around four major priorities, yielding specific proposals to make the benefits of a European area of freedom, security and justice more effective and more tangible for ordinary citizens:
Promoting citizens' rights — a Europe of rights: the area of freedom, security and justice must above all be a single area in which fundamental rights are protected, and in which respect for the human person and human dignity, and for the other rights enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights, is a core value. The citizen's privacy must be preserved beyond national borders, especially by protecting personal data; allowance must be made for the special needs of vulnerable people; and citizens must be able to exercise their specific rights to the full, such as the right to vote and the right to consular protection.
Making life easier — a Europe of justice: the achievement of a European area of justice must be consolidated. Priority should be given to mechanisms that facilitate people's access to the courts, so that they can enforce their rights throughout the Union. Where contracts and commerce are concerned, this should give those involved in economic life the tools they need to take full advantage of the opportunities offered by the single market. Cooperation between legal professionals should also be improved, and resources should be mobilised to put an end to barriers to the recognition of legal acts in other Member States.
Protecting citizens — a Europe that protects: a domestic security strategy should be developed in order further to improve security in the Union and thus to protect the life and safety of European citizens. The strategy should be aimed at strengthening cooperation in police matters and law enforcement and making entry to Europe more secure. Tougher, more coordinated action is needed particularly to combat organised crime and terrorism.
Promoting a more integrated society for the citizen — a Europe of solidarity: a major priority in the next few years will be consolidating and putting into practice a policy on immigration and asylum that guarantees solidarity between Member States and partnership with non-Union countries. The policy should offer legal immigrants a clear and uniform status. A closer match should be developed between immigration and the needs of the European labour market, along with targeted integration and education policies.
The practical use of the tools available to combat illegal immigration should be improved. The Union should also move towards a common asylum system and insist on burden-sharing and solidarity between Member States in this area.
Examples of the measures proposed (10 specific innovations):
Introduce a comprehensive scheme to ensure better data protection in the European Union;

A lightweight leader.
Crafted from forged and shot-peened aluminum, Easton's EA70 stem offers superior strength for mountain use, but it's still svelte enough for road duty. To achieve this, Easton aligns the aluminum grain structure so less material is needed without a sacrifice to performance.
The EA70 uses a four-bolt clamp with Top-Lock, which is essentially a tongue and groove interface that virtually eliminates bending forces on the top two bolts, improving durability and strength without adding weight. In use, the top two bolts are torqued first in order to draw the Top-Lock connection tight. Then the lower two bolts are torqued to spec, ensuring a snug, distortion free junction with the handlebar.
The stem body and faceplate also feature extra material on either side of the clamp section. This, along with the narrowed bolt centers, work to distribute stresses along a greater section of the handlebar. Easton works hard in their testing lab to make sure that the EA70 will be not only compatible, but safe to use with your lightweight handlebars.
The Easton EA70 Stem has a 31.8mm clamp diameter and is designed for 1-1/8" steerers only. It has a ±6° and ±20° rise and is available in 90, 100, 110, 120, and 130mm lengths.

Solid no nonsense stem.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Does the job and nice simple graphics to blend in any setup.
Great Stem, Great Price
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Does what a stem should without breaking the bank. Picked up another for a new bike build.
This stem does not have the tongue and groove interface as pictured in the included instructions. Should I disregard the included instructions (torque the top bolts first) and install like a normal 4-bolt stem (torque all bolts equally) ?
This stem doesn't appear to have the tongue and groove interface that's described both here and in the included instructions. What gives?
I bought one of these. Great price. Mine does not have tongue and groove either. But for the money I sure like the part.. That's probably why they are on sale. Buy one. It's good.
Does exactly what supposed to!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Great stem for a great price!
A Stealth and Solid, Versatile Stem
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Running the EA70 Stem with the EA70 Flat/Wide bars on my single-speed 29er. I dig it. It looks great with the stealthy grey graphics and it holds my handlebars on my bike so I can't complain. It's light, and a great value as well. It will probably last forever...literally.

Nearly 20% of Texans in favor of Secceeding from Union
Friday, April 17, 2009
Thirty-one percent (31%) of Texas voters say that their state has the right to secede from the United States and form an independent country.
However, the latest Rasmussen Reports poll in the state finds that if the matter was put to a vote, it wouldnt even be close. Three-fourths (75%) of Lone Star State voters would opt to remain in the United States. Only 18% would vote to secede, and seven percent (7%) are not sure what they'd choose.
Texas Governor Rick Perry, in response to a reporters question about secession at a protest "tea party," said Wednesday, "We've got a great union. There's absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that? But Texas is a very unique place, and we're a pretty independent lot to boot." The comment was widely reported in the media.
(Want a free daily e-mail update? Sign up now. If it's in the news, it's in our polls.) Rasmussen Reports updates also available on Twitter.
The underlying views of Texans about government are generally similar to those in the rest of the nation. By a 73% to 11% margin, Texans trust the collective judgment of the American people more than the judgment of political leaders.
By a 62% to 21% margin, voters in Perrys state believe that big business and big government typically work together against the interests of consumers and investors. And, by a 63% to 24% margin, Texans view the federal government itself as a special interest group.
Overall, seven percent (7%) of Texas voters have views that align with Americas Political Class or lean in that direction. Fifty-two percent (52%) of Texans hold views that can be considered populist or Mainstream. Nationally, those figures are seven percent (7%) for the Political Class and 55% for the Mainstream view.
When leaners are included, 15% of Texans can be counted as somewhat supportive of the Political Class while 73% hold the opposite perspective.
Texas voters who view the federal government as a special interest group are evenly divided as to whether or not their state has the right to secede. However, two-thirds (64%) of those who view the federal government as a special interest group would still vote to stay in the union rather than secede.
Nationally, the divide between the Mainstream and the Political Class is clear on an issue like immigration. While 66% of voters nationwide say it is Very Important for the government to improve its enforcement of the borders and reduce illegal immigration, just 32% of Americas Political Class agrees.
The secession question was prompted by "tea parties" nationwide on April 15 to express frustration about the high level of new federal government spending. But President Obama has maintained solid approval ratings over the past month in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.
In recent weeks, short-term expectations for the economy have improved dramatically, but longer-term expectations have moved in the opposite direction. Sixty percent (60%) of Americans now say it will take three years or longer for housing prices to recover. Confidence in the U.S. banking system is up slightly since February, though.
The Rasmussen Consumer and Investor Indexes, which measure confidence on a daily basis, ended a four-day skid on Friday.
In Texas, Perry finds himself in a challenging environment for reelection as he seeks an unprecedented third consecutive term as governor. Another Republican, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, will be running against him. Hutchison is viewed favorably by 67% of voters statewide, Perry by 55%.
Twenty-five percent (25%) have a Very Favorable opinion of Hutchison while only five percent (5%) of Texas voters have a Very Unfavorable opinion of her. For Perry, the numbers are 19% Very Favorable and 19% Very Unfavorable.
Among Republicans, Hutchison earns positive reviews from 83%, Perry from 78%.

Went up to the massive Walmart store that has a garden section and thy had palms on clearance at $5.50 each including a Mexican Fan Palm, so I brought it.September 2011.
Seems to be struggling on, not to over crowded.
Its a bit swamped but im hopeful that it will emerge from the weeds. The base doesnt look too good really as its too moist and all the trunk has rotted and fallen away. The new shoots seem ok but the wide base is not holding its own. Hopefully I can cut away all the surrounding weeds and it will dry out over winter when theres less rain.
This is still alive, but the stem is really soft and almost soggy. I hope it dries out a bit.
Looks a bit bored, but its still alive and is sending up a new shoot so I guess all is well.
Apparently they are cold hardy and drought resistant as well as being fast growing, what more could I ask for.

Dear Dr. Don,

What's the best time to file for Social Security retirement benefits? I'm 62, single and currently working as an insurance broker. I'm thinking of collecting Social Security now, so I can slow down and enter retirement gradually. I earn about $40,000, and I also have rental income and two small mortgage payments to make for the next 30 years. I don't need my Social Security income now, but I can't see why I should wait.
-- Joanna Juncture
Dear Joanna, If you don't need the money now, then my recommendation is for you to wait until at least your full retirement age, 66, to file for benefits. It may be good to wait even longer, perhaps to age 70, since you'll receive a higher payment in the form of delayed retirement credits.
Too many people have the mindset that they want to maximize the amount of money they get from Social Security. And since life is uncertain, they file as soon as they're eligible. That's a misplaced concern. Government studies show that retirees, on average, receive the same amount of money in Social Security benefits no matter when they file for benefits.
So, if you're in good health and you don't need the money, you should wait.
By waiting, you earn a higher monthly benefit. And that higher benefit, like all Social Security retirement benefits, is indexed for inflation. So waiting helps ensure you have more money in your later years.
And remember: The option to file is always there. You don't need to file now as a precautionary measure.
Also, please note that if you file early while you're still earning income, you may further reduce your benefit. You should check with your accountant if you're uncertain how your residual income is treated in the benefits calculation. You'll also owe income taxes on your Social Security benefits along with your other income.

It is always a nice when Panoramio users meet to have a photo safari. This is what happened last Saturday in Switzerland and this is how Buelipix has explained it to us with his own words:
What happens if 14 cameras meet somewhere and bring along their owners?
Without doubt this is a Panoramiomeeting. This one happened on September the 18th in St.Margrethen in Switzerland.
After welcoming everyone (most participants knew each other from former meetings), we started driving with a skeptical look on the sky (the weather was not the best) and lots of good mood, to a parking lot just outside the city. after parking we had a short walk to the entrance of the fortress we were visiting, where we have been warmly welcomed by the management.
We were Panoramio users from Switzerland, Austria and Germany (with reinforcement from the Netherlands).
We used to shoot each other here with rifles and shells in the triborder region Switzerland-Germany-Austria just 70 years ago! Today, we fortunately are friends, no longer in war and our weapons are Canons, Nikons, Olympus & CO.
In an interesting and humorous kind, a contemporary witness described us the background for the building of the plant! Due to the political development in Europe, Switzerland started from the middle of the 30's to built military buildings in the interior of mountains.The fortress "Heldsberg" was supposed to help to repel a possible attack from the north-east.
On the two-hour tour to the accommodations over ladders to the gun positions and by close emergency exits there were cheerful moments despite the serious background again and again.
We will be dismissed four hours after immersing into the mountain with much impressions and full belly.
Winding roads lead us through Appenzellerland!
Due to the weather we could do only one photostop!
Then by cablecar we went up to the Ebenalp. It was very cloudy, so no weather for postcard pictures, despite fog makes the whole thing somehow more interesting. Anyone can take good shots with nice weather!
After a short descent through the "bear cave" and at the "Wildkirchli" we needed a small break - so we decided to have a small break at the restaurant "Äscher".
after getting some energy we walked back to the mountain… where some of us decided to go to the summit - to the bring the Panoramiomeeting to the highest level!
Although the weather was not ideal: it was a great meeting with an interesting tour, good conversation and humor! We will meet again for sure ;)
P.S. Around midnight no more clouds were in the sky, but that is another history! Exactly the same as the culinary benefits, which unite Pasta within three times in 24 hours …

Deputy fatally shot, 2 others found dead in Arkansas
Lt. Kevin C. Mainhart, age 46, was shot on Thursday morning
Lt. Kevin C. Mainhart, age 46, was shot on Thursday morning
Lt. Kevin C. Mainhart, age 46, was shot on Thursday morning
Lt. Kevin C. Mainhart, age 46, was killed in Yell County Thursday morning, and the bodies of two other people were found at a nearby home, according to Bill Sadler with Arkansas State Police.
The suspect was holed up inside a home as of 2 p.m., Sadler said. Sadler did not give the location of the building and did not confirm or deny reports of hostages.
Lt. Mainhart had served in the Yell County Sheriff's Office for five years. He had previously served with the West Memphis Police Dept. for more than 20 years.
The two people found dead have not been positively identified.
Tap or click here to see the press conference from Arkansas State Police.
The deputy was sent to a disturbance call on Gum Springs Road Road when he made a traffic stop on a vehicle on nearby Slo-Fork Road at 7:18 a.m., according to Sadler. The stopped vehicle may have matched the description of a vehicle involved in that disturbance call, Sadler said.
During that traffic stop, the deputy was "fatally wounded," Sadler said.
Law enforcement went to the scene of the disturbance call. There, they found the bodies of two people who have not been identified, Sadler said.
The public should stay out of the Dardanelle and Chickalah area, state police have warned. This is in northeastern Yell County, about 8 miles southwest of Russellville.
The Arkansas State Police's Criminal Investigation Division and its Highway Patrol are both working with local authorities in the case, Trooper First Class Liz Chapman with Arkansas State Police told 40/29 News.
