My Review:
Against the Flow is an excellent theoretical resource that covers the entire book of Daniel. John C. Lennox did a wonderful job at researching and describing the background of Daniel and the city of Babylon to readers. The book contains over 400 pages of text and as well as discussion questions at the end of the book. It also included pictures of the city that really brought the message to life. I immensely liked how John C. Lennox connect the scriptures back into today's times where the readers could see how the world is still living like the city of Babylon. I would recommend this amazing book to anyone who enjoys historical books and would like to explore the dynamics of the book of Daniel in vast detail.
"I received a review copy of Against the Flow, from Litfuse for this review."
Against the Flow
by John C. Lennox
Christian Theology
A wide-ranging discussion of the place of Christianity in the public square
Daniel's story is one of extraordinary faith in God lived out at the pinnacle of executive power. It tells of four young men, born in the tiny state of Judah around 500 b.c., and captured by Nebuchadnezzar, emperor of Babylon. Daniel describes how they eventually rose to senior positions of administration.
Daniel and his friends did not simply maintain their private devotion to God; they maintained a high-profile witness in a pluralistic society antagonistic to their faith. Their story carries a powerful message for us today. Society tolerates the practice of Christianity in private and in church services, but increasingly it deprecates public witness. If Daniel and his compatriots were with us today they would be in the vanguard of public debate.
This is a lucid and erudite examination of the life of Daniel from a leading expert on faith and science. In his first biblical work, Dr. Lennox provides a unique perspective on both Western society and biblical exegesis that will make Against the Flow an instant classic encouraging Christians to speak out in our modern Babylon.
"I read everything John Lennox writes because of his amazing blend of rigorous scholarship with practical insights and applications for all of us. You cannot afford to miss this important book! Read it, then pass it on to a friend."
-Rick Warren, pastor and author of The Purpose Driven Life

Excessive Gas
Latest Innovations. Subspecialty Care. Strength in Patient Follow-Up
The digestive system has a certain amount of gas in it at all times, and some of that gas to be passed every day. The gas comes from air swallowed during eating or drinking, or as a result of the breakdown of foods by bacteria in the intestines. The body eliminates gas from the gastrointestinal tract through burping or passing the gas through the rectum.
Some conditions cause excessive amounts of gas, a circumstance that can be uncomfortable and embarrassing but does not pose a medical risk. Excessive gas can often be addressed through dietary changes or medical treatment.
Causes/risk factors
Eating or drinking too rapidly is a common cause of swallowed air. In addition, the normal bacteria that breakdown food, primarily in the large intestine or colon, are especially active in some people due to diet or other causes. Certain food, especially those with certain sugars can exacerbate this function.
Poor digestion of food in the small intestine that causes more undigested food to enter the colon is also a cause of additional gas. For a smaller number of people, obstructions of various types in the GI tract can cause bloating due to excessive gas trapped in the intestine. Intestinal hypersensitivities can also have this effect.
Signs & symptoms
Common symptoms of excessive gas include unusual amounts of:
- belching, which occurs when people swallow air but release it before it enters the stomach;
- flatulence, which occurs when gas passes from the colon and out through the rectum (a normal event one- to two-dozen times per day);
- abdominal bloating, which can be due to a number of digesting conditions;
- abdominal pain and discomfort, normally in the colon.
Your physician will want to rule out more serious disorders as a cause of the excessive gas. Conditions that can contribute to this problem include peptic ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and irritable bowel syndrome. In addition to taking a medical history and performing a physical examination, physicians may request the following steps or diagnostic procedures in order to diagnose excessive gas:
- dietary alterations;
- plain-film x-rays;
- ultrasound;
- gastric emptying study;
- colonoscopy;
- sigmoidoscopy;
- barium, upper-GI x-ray (upper GI series or barium swallow);
- digestion/absorption tests;
- or breath test (to detect the bacteria).
Steps to prevent excessive gas in the digestive tract depend on its cause. But commonly they can include:
- long-term changes in diet;
- medications, including those specifically designed to absorb excess gas, to promote muscle activity of the stomach or small intestine, or to reduce bacterial levels;
- changes in eating habits, sometimes including efforts to improve chewing and swallowing;
- or surgery to address obstructions (Surgeons in Aria's Division of General Surgery and Section on Colorectal Surgery are experts in providing surgery for the digestive track.)

PRINCESS ANNE, MD. - (Sept. 18, 2013) - James G. Lunnermon II is the University of Maryland Eastern Shore's new director of alumni affairs.
Jimmy, as he is better known, moves into his new post from the university's Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, where for the past six years he was director of campus life.
"I'm excited about reconnecting with all the alumni I had an opportunity to work with when they were students," Lunnermon said.
Kim Dumpson, UMES' executive vice president, oversaw the search to fill the alumni affairs office vacancy.
"Jimmy quickly emerged as the top candidate because of his extensive knowledge of campus life and his many connections to alumni across several generations," Dumpson said.
The name Lunnermon is well-known across campus as well as among alumni and the university's many friends and supporters.
His father is a retired UMES Physical Plant Director who a half-century ago partnered with the late William P. Hytche to launch the original Hawks' Nest, at the time an off-campus sandwich shop. Lunnermon's brother, Dominick, currently is employed by the university's physical plant.
The Somerset County native has been a fixture on the Princess Anne campus since his undergraduate days, when he was a leader of UMES' Phi Beta Sigma chapter.
A 1996 graduate of UMES' Hotel and Restaurant Management program, Lunnermon was hired immediately after earning his degree to manage auxiliary services. Between 2001 and 2003, he was director of special projects and activities.
From 2004 to 2006, he was director of student activities at Delaware State University in Dover before returning to UMES as assistant general manager at the Henson Center.
A year later, Lunnermon returned to student activities management at his alma mater, where he was the university's student government advisor, oversaw a myriad of student organizations, social activities and student leadership training. He's had offices in four different buildings over his career and is now in his second stint in J.T. Williams Hall, where his current office is on the first floor.
Lunnermon sees the director of UMES' alumni affairs office being the point person responsible for engaging all alumni, near and far, and finding ways to nurture their life-long relationship with their alma mater. "Hawk Pride - Catch It," is more than just a slogan, he said.
"We talk a lot to our students about the importance of 'giving back,' "he said. "We have so many wonderful examples of our alumni who embrace that philosophy. I want them to know that what they do to support us is appreciated, and is making a difference."
With more nearly 12,000 living alumni, Lunnermon is looking forward to getting acquainted with the many generations of UMES' loyal graduates
"One of my responsibilities is keeping everybody abreast of all the activities we have going on on campus," he said. "We want people to know about them and participate in them, if they can."
Dumpson is confident Lunnermon is up to the task.
"I believe that Jimmy's role in campus life will assist the division in engaging students and young

Meet the Author…
Hunter S. Jones is a lifelong writer. Hunter regularly contributes articles to fashion and rock and roll publications, both in print and online. However, you will often find her writing articles for newspapers and quarterly professional publications. Her interests are varied… travel, wines, history, the occult, and psychology. Her passions are rock and roll and history, especially the history of sex.
Hunter has a Master's Level Degree in Classic Studies. Because of this she has a reading range which varies from 'Beowulf' to 'Fifty Shades of Grey' to all points in between. Her favorite authors are Edgar Allan Poe, Anne Rice and Alison Weir. However, ask tomorrow and the list will change.
Hunter has wanted to write a book her entire life. A recent change in fortune has made this dream a reality. Her first book, 'Fables of the Reconstruction' is scheduled for publication in October 2012. You can find her online at http://www.thehuntersjones.blogspot.com or at http://www.facebook.com/Fablesofthe Reconstruction.com.
Hunter currently lives in Midtown Atlanta, Georgia with her current partner. They have no children or pets, just books, wine and a million dollar view.
Hi Hunter! Very excited to have you on the blog today, thanks for joining us! Let's start with an easy question – When did you first know you wanted to be a writer?
Some people play an instrument, some dance, some paint and I write. It's the way I express myselfand that is how it's always been.
Great answer. Can you tell us more about your latest book?
My latest release is called Fables of the Reconstruction. It's the story of a Belgian pimp, Pierre von Minzle, and the book is set in Victorian London, in the notorious Whitechapel District. Pierre has a 'magic' powder and practices Creole voodoo. The book explains the start of today's modern zombie story.
Can you share with us where the inspiration behind your writing comes from?
Something subconsciously triggers a thought, feeling or an emotion. Maybe a mood needs to be remembered and you have to record your recollection – it has to be written.
If you could make one of your characters real for a day, who would you choose and why?
My little monster, Pierre von Minzle is sexy, undead and wonderful. He's a zombie, but he manifests in different time dimensions so that he can survive. I would love to spend a day with him just to find out what mischief he's going to get into, or where he is going to go next.
Can you share with us a short story about something that has happened to you that would make a great book?
The story of the love of my life will make a beautiful romance novel someday. In the meantime, my life has been more like a series of short stories, both comedy and tragedy. String the stories together and they could make a book until the romance novel is written.
I want to read this romance – hurry up and write it! What has been the most rewarding part of your writing career & what has been the hardest?
The most rewarding part of writing is working with other artists – finding out what makes them create, how they think, hearing their stories. The hardest part of writing is getting my exact feelings into words.
What do you like to do when you aren't writing?
I'm very social – being around people is my favorite thing especially when having great conversations and listening to great music.
I got a mental image of you as a butterfly on the wall at a party – fluttering from one person to the next! Do you have any advice for budding writers looking to self-publish?
Do what you want to do and follow your dreams – writing is your art form. Get advice from people that have published a book, but do your own homework before taking anyone's advice.
"Writing is your art form"…bumper sticker that, really. So, what can we expect to see from you in the future and where can we find your work?
Thank you for asking Trish. I have a couple of anthologies in the works and will be able to tell you about them soon. I am developing a series of short stories-short, sexy vignettes-which is called Tales from a New Amsterdam. The first story will be available in December 2012. The stories will be available on Amazon.com.
You can find Fables of the Reconstruction on Amazon
Yay! Looking forward to your new releases! If you could shadow your favorite Author for a year (living or dead) who would you choose, and why?
Oh Trish. This is such a great question. So many writers had such exciting lives – Poe, Fitzgerald, Faulkner, Hemingway, Hunter S. Thompson…it would be amazing to spend time with them. On the other side, you have the more reclusive authors such as Anne Rice, Lovecraft, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Flannery O'Connor – it would be interesting to see into their lives for a while. However, if I had to choose to spend a year with an author, it would be Margaret Mitchell. I would love to spend one year with her as she recuperated from an ankle injury and created Gone With The Wind. Can you imagine the conversations? She didn't have much communication from the outside world during that phase in her life, so the time was spent writing. She was left mainly to create from her imagination – combining the pain she suffered, her own life experiences and stories from her family about the past; all which worked together to shape her great work. What an amazing artist.
Wow, fabulous answer!!!

Now, for a taste of Fables of the Reconstruction
Meet Pierre von Minzle and Mary Moore. They are the Adam and Lilith, definitely not Adam and Eve, of today's zombie apocalypse. Fables of the Reconstruction is a playful yet graphic sexual adventure consisting of what might have been, combined with what possibly might be happening now. It contains Pomba Gira mysticism, Creole voodoo and the seeds of the zombie apocalypse set in Victorian London's notorious Whitechapel District. Sex, magick , zombies. This ain't your daddy's shotgun zombie story. Mature content warning.

Texas Showdown
A group of citizens in El Paso managed to get a ballot initiative to repeal "domestic-partner benefits" offered by the city, but the city council reversed the outcome. A subsequent effort to recall the mayor and two city council members was overturned because signatures were gathered on church property.
EL PASO, Texas — A showdown over First Amendment rights of free speech and religion could make its way from this West Texas border city to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The case involves the constitutionality of a Texas election law and the extent of churches' legal involvement in politics.
It's the outgrowth of an earlier battle in state court in which El Paso Mayor John Cook brought charges against citizens trying to oust him and two other officials from office.
Cook's suit alleged that signatures for the recall election should be invalidated because petitioners may have gathered some of them on church property, a violation of a state law that carries third-degree felony charges.
The Alliance Defense Fund and two local pro-bono attorneys are aiding petitioners.
"We're defending the church's right to be fully engaged in the culture," said ADF senior legal counsel Joel Oster. "Christians and their institutions are not second-class citizens who are banned from the democratic process."
Oster filed suit Nov. 17 in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas on behalf of some petitioners — Jesus Chapel and its pastor, H. Warren Hoyt. This suit against the city of El Paso and state Attorney General Greg Abbott seeks to have the Texas statute that Cook based his charges on — one that bans corporate contributions to recall elections — be declared unconstitutional, as it censors free speech.
It alleges that the "mayor's actions" and interpretation of state election code violated Hoyt and his church's First Amendment rights of free speech, free exercise of religion, freedom of association, to petition government for redress of grievances and the 14th Amendment right of equal protection under the law.
Oster argues that the Texas law is unconstitutional because it violates the principle of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, a 2010 landmark Supreme Court decision that limits government censorship of political activity in elections.
In any case, a recall election will be held April 14, 2012, according to Gov. Rick Perry's office. Petitioners scored a victory in state court Nov. 28 when County Court at Law 3 Judge Javier Alvarez denied Cook's request for a preliminary injunction to stop the election.
The case is ongoing, with a trial date set for June. ADF attorneys, who represent the parties being sued by Cook, filed a counterclaim Oct. 7 against him that is still pending, according to Oster.
Civil-Rights Precedent
The controversy began in 2009, when the El Paso City Council approved a budget item giving health-insurance coverage to unmarried domestic partners of city employees. This benefited 119 people, according to Cook.
A group of lay Catholics and Protestants who opposed the expenditure formed a political committee, El Pasoans for Traditional Family Values.
"Unfortunately, people are just kind of rolling over on the domestic-partner-benefits issue and not contesting it," said Robert Strong, a Catholic member of the coalition from the Mission Valley section of El Paso. "We saw this as a stepping stone to the acceptance of 'gay marriage.'"
Their coalition, led by Pastor Tom Brown of the independent evangelical congregation Word of Life Church, gathered enough signatures to put on the ballot an ordinance that would use tax dollars only for benefits to employees, their legal spouses and dependent children.
Voters in this bilingual city of 700,000 approved the ordinance by 55% in November 2010. Although the constitutionality of the voters' ordinance was challenged, U.S. District Judge Frank Montalvo upheld it in May 2011.
But in June, the council voted 4-4 to rescind the statute; Mayor Cook broke the tie. So Brown and the coalition began a petition drive to oust the mayor and city Reps. Susie Byrd and Steve Ortega from office. (The two others who voted to overturn the ordinance did not seek re-election.)
Byrd acknowledged in a Nov. 23 phone interview that some voters supported the ordinance because they saw domestic-partner benefits as paving the way for same-sex "marriage." However, she said she voted to rescind it because "the intent of the petitioners was to harm gay and lesbian people in our community."
"When we got the ordinance on the ballot, it was a moral issue," said Strong. "The second time around it morphed into an issue of democracy. Citizens' votes were being disregarded, denied. We got about twice as many signatures on the recall petition."
Then court action began in September. Mayor Cook personally sued Pastor Brown, Word of Life Church, Tom Brown Ministries, Jesus Chapel West and the Traditional Family Values coalition. Brown called the lawsuit against him "frivolous" in a Nov. 10 phone interview.
Cook aimed to stop the recall effort by claiming that people illegally collected signatures in churches. And Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, a Washington, D.C., group, reportedly complained of Brown's activities to the Internal Revenue Service, according to an Oct. 2 El Paso Times article.
Local attorneys Theresa Caballero and Stewart Leeds offered their services after the mayor sued the churches. "We thought, How dare they criminalize these actions? The people have spoken," Caballero said. "Where would the civil-rights acts be if blacks in the '60s hadn't congregated in their churches?"
Finally came the recent Nov. 28 county court ruling that allows the recall election to proceed.
Cook notified the Eighth District Court of Appeals that he intends to contest the lower-court ruling, The El Paso Times reported Dec. 5.
Gail Besse writes from Boston.

A husband and wife from Wilmington came forward Oct. 5 to claim their $50 million Powerball jackpot from the Wednesday, Oct. 3 drawing, according to Delaware Lottery officials.
The couple opted to remain anonymous and selected the cash, single-payment value for the jackpot, which totaled $33.05 million before federal withholding taxes. Delaware Lottery officials validated the winning ticket Friday.
"I checked my numbers in the newspaper during a break at work, and when I realized I had won, I had the shakes," the man, who described himself as a laborer, told lottery officials Friday. "I was like, I'm done. I'm done for the day!"
His wife was similarly rattled when she heard about their good fortune.
"I said, 'Oh my God!'" she said. "And I immediately thought, 'What can we do for our family?'"
While having their winning ticket processed at Lottery headquarters in Dover Oct. 5, the couple recounted their tale, which began with a purchase of the ticket at Cutrona's Liquors in Wilmington.
"We sometimes use Quick Pick, but we chose our own numbers this time," said the husband, citing a specific game card that he and his wife have used for over a year.
"We chose numbers that mean something to us — and when they were selected on Wednesday, we couldn't believe that they were drawn in the sequence we picked!"
The winning numbers were 17, 23, 36, 55 and 59, with a Powerball of 10.
This is the eighth time a Powerball-jackpot-winning ticket was sold in Delaware and the fifth-largest Powerball jackpot won in Delaware.

I'm happy for them whoever they are
$33.05 million i couldnt even count that kind of money.
From laborer to multi-millionaire.
That's a nice story.
And no more laboring.
Who care about counting it, just start spending it before our economy collapses.
Stories of jackpot winners picking their own numbers seem to be more common lately in spite of most winning tickets being QP's.
I like the idea of them only having to talk to lottery officials and allowing them to release their story to the public without any personal information.

14-11-2018 #1
I am looking for a little guidance on feeds and speeds with a 2kw 3040 size gantry router (not chinese - this one has 20mm hiwin linear rails).
I want to take a light skim over a large area of ali plate. (no idea what grade it is).
So after googling about and looking at the feed and speed calculator on littlemachineshop's site, it appears that if I am using an HSS 12mm 4 flute endmill, the spindle speed should be very slow at 1600 rpm and the feed also slow at 275 mm/min.
Switching to a carbide endmill, a much higher spindle speed, 7200rpm and much much faster feed of 2800mm/min.
Does that sound right?
I have seen people using very fast spindle speeds and feeds (16k prm, 4000 mm/min) but not sure with a 12mm cutter?
Any general advise regarding this topic?
Obviously lube/cooling comes into play here, but initially I would like to run the machine dry or with a minimal mount of lube.
I am looking at taking a very shallow cut as I am just getting the plate flat, so no more than a 0.1 or 0.2mm cut.
Any advice welcome.

It's scary when it looks like it's smashing side on into a piece of brass stock. But in all honesty since I used the calculator I just back the feed off slightly. It's fine. Then I let it run at the feed rate... Still fine.
My cut depth is 0.5mm I cut at 1mm but scared the shit out of me.

Oh not with mills below 0.5mm I broke all those, my machine isn't quite gentle enough

Just found GWizard.
It's telling me, for a 12mm 4 flute endmill in cast ali, 4148rpm and 427 mm/min for HSS.
For Carbide 6222rpm and 525 mm/min.
That seems very consvative.
If I set the surface finish from 1% to 30% the feed rate doubles.
If the tool size drops to 4mm then the RPM goes up to 18666!

Prince Street bridge raisies concerns
June 24, 2009
The New Mexico Department of Transportation schedules a regular inspection for the Prince Street bridge over the railroad tracks once every two years.
In fact, the last one took place only last month with the overpass getting a status of "not deficient."
Some Clovis citizens aren't so sure, however.
Noting crumbling pieces of concrete in areas where north and south-bound ramps connect with the main deck, Clovis resident Chuck Glikas has concerns about the 20-year-old structure.
"Where the joints come together, you'll see it's popping concrete. There's pressure there," said Glikas, who works in construction himself, but added he had no particular experience with overpasses.
A motorist with a sharp eye, Glikas' attention has turned toward the barrier separating the road from the sidewalk on either end of the overpass. The most extensive damage is at the southern connection points.
"At one point, the joints were about three-quarters to an inch wide and they were filled with some kind of sealant," Glikas said. "Since about the first of the year, I've noticed that big pieces are popping (out) right at those joints, which tells me that they're touching each other.
"And if they're touching each other, that means that something's settling," he added. "Now, I know a bridge is made to give and move, but it shouldn't have chunks popping off where the joints are.
"What worries me is now that the Hull Street overpass is closed, you're getting truck traffic that it never got before. I've been on it when you've had trucks bumper-to-bumper with trains going underneath it — so you've got all that weight and vibration."
Prince Street, or State Highway 70, used to take cars and trucks under the railroad tracks until the overpass was built in 1989.
Tim Ashley, a former Curry County commissioner, is the owner of Clovis Concrete — the business that supplied concrete for the main deck over the tracks two decades ago.
On Wednesday, Ashley took a closer look at the structure and found it disconcerting.
"There's major disintegration there. The south ramp is where it's pretty blatantly obvious," Ashley said. "Where it's cracking, that definitely looks to me like structural settlement — and it's put pressure on that concrete.
"The question is whether that is a structural issue and that I can't answer," he added.
Frank Martinez, inspector with the District 2 office of the state Department of Transportation, conducted the May inspection of the bridge.
"It's structurally safe, yes. That's not a problem," said Martinez, who also added on Wednesday that he was willing to come to Clovis the next day to check it over again.
Martinez, in his report, did recommend

As a journalist writing about games, I'm used to getting a lot of weird stuff from public relations companies in the mail (and giving it away in charity drives). But the package that Ubisoft PR sent to the offices of Australia's Ninemsn was weird enough to cause an evacuation of the offices today.
According to reports, a courier dropped off a small black safe to a reporter at Ninemsn's central Syndey offices, along with a letter instructing the reporter to check his voicemail. Since the reporter did not actually have a voicemail to check, he simply typed in the PIN code taped to the top of the safe, causing it to start beeping. Fearing that the package might actually be a bomb, editors decided to evacuate the newsroom and call in the bomb squad.
The safe contained a copy of Watch Dogs, along with a baseball cap and beanie. It's not clear whether the safe was sent by Ubisoft or an external PR agency.
"We did check with other newsrooms to see if they had received a similar package as we thought it was a PR stunt, but no one else had," Ninemsn editor Hal Crawford told Australian media site Mumbrella. "We weren't panicked at any point, but given there was no note explaining what it was, we had to take sensible precautions."
This isn't the first time a gaming PR mailing has gone wrong. Back in 2009, EA sent critics a set of brass knuckles in violation of laws about sending weapons through the mail, before asking for the "novelty" back. Also in 2009, EA promoted the Dante's Inferno game by sending journalists a $200 check intended to test their resistance to "greed." At the time, I commented that the stunt crossed "the line between 'clever promotion' and 'blatant journalist bribery.'"

Crazy weather. It's 70 degrees this afternoon. I really, really miss The Twelve. Friday is payday, and repairs shall be done.
This is a weather telemetry tower thing. I'm a weather nerd. I believe the device shown below is a computerized rain gauge that simply senses how much precip passes between the sensors.
This is what happens when you walk next to a mirror-glass building with bright sun almost directly behind you. The taper of the shadow makes me look like the Michelin Man. Okay, maybe it's not only due to the shadow... :(
There were lots of folks out on bikes today. No surprise, as nice as it is. This is really February still?!
Oh, I tried Safari 4 Beta. It's still b0rk. It's okay, I have some geeky/security plugins for Firefox that I really like to keep around anyway.

I thought blogger did that so you could not take copyright material off the web.
Its just a flaw with Safari?

Hi, I've been following your blog for a while. I live in southeast Kansas and this weather has been crazy.
Also, my version of Safari 3 does that too. But it doesn't if you switch over to HTML editing mode.
Best wishes.

Yah, it's only Safari, and yes it works in HTML mode, but it's still annoying. Both Safari 3 and 4 do the same thing. Other than that, Safari 4 is really fast, but just not what I'm looking for.

Creative has evolved into a value audio brand that delivers a lot of bang for your buck, so it's no surprise that its $79 WP-350 on-ear Bluetooth headphones sound very good given the price.
On the other hand, on-ear headphones aren't for everyone due to the way they sit flush against your ear -- some may find them more comfortable than others. In the case of the WP-350s, I found them fairly comfortable and experienced no problems wearing them on a 30-minute commute every day to and from work.
Still, they're not quite as comfortable as competing on-ear wired headphones like the Bose OE2i or the Sennheiser HD 238i models, and my ears did get a little steamy on warmer days.
More importantly, I was able to achieve a fairly tight seal on my ears, and these headphones do a decent job of shutting out the outside world. I can't say I felt incredibly cool wearing them, but their design is attractive enough, with a subtle design punctuated with a glossy finish on the outer portion of the earcups.
Again, there's nothing terribly fancy about these headphones, but they seem well designed and should hold up fairly well to being carried around daily. No case is included, unfortunately, and while the cups do fold flat, the headband can't fold up like the band on the more expensive AKG K830BTs.
One thing I appreciate the most in travel is the large buttons, particularly the volume buttons that the designers conveniently placed on the inner lip of the right earcup, so they're easily found by touch. You shouldn't have to fumble around or remove the headphones to raise and lower volume or answer and end calls, and yes, there's a built-in microphone. Of course, if you're using a smartphone to stream audio, you'll most likely use the virtual buttons on the device rather than the hard buttons on the headphone to control audio playback.
As with most other Bluetooth headphones I've encountered, pairing your smartphone, tablet, or other Bluetooth-enabled device with these guys is easy enough, though you'll run into an occasional snafu from time to time. Also, expect to have some dropouts now and again; that's par for the course for Bluetooth, which has a range of about 30 feet.

All manuscripts submitted to Research & Reviews or Essays & Dialogues should be double-spaced, with 12-point font
and 1-inch margins. The cover page should be uploaded as a separate
document; it should include the title, the name and contact information
(i.e., address, telephone, and e-mail) of all authors, and any
acknowledgments. This page will not be part of the manuscript sent out
for blind review. The first page should include the title and an
abstract of 200 words or less. All manuscripts should reflect the
comments and specifications below.
AMLE seeks well-argued, well-written manuscripts that our
audience will want to read and remember. Toward that end, we recommend
the approach to writing presented in George D. Gopen and Judith A.
Swan's, "The Science of Scientific Writing" (American Scientist, 1990, 78: 550-558) and Joseph M. Williams', Style: Ten Lessons in Clarity and Grace, 6th ed. (2000, New York: Addison Wesley Longman, Inc.).
Following this approach, we strongly endorse the use of first person when it accurately describes agency. Thus if you did something, "I" would be appropriate; similarly, if your team did
something, "we" would be appropriate. And if you are the sole agent,
there is no need to disguise your contribution with a royal "we." So,
in situations where the first person accurately describes the agency,
"I" and "we" are not only appropriate, they are preferred. (Speaking of
pronouns, use the pronoun "he" only in reference to individuals known to
be men. Please do not use the generic "he," and refrain from using
"he/she" or its variations. Vary pronouns as appropriate.)
Headings make a manuscript's structure more visible, which helps the
reader understand its organization and flow. All headings should begin
flush against the left margin:
This Is a Second-Level Head
This Is a Third-Level Head
This Is a Fourth-Level Head. (Text should follow on the same line)
Please remember that a heading structure is really just a traditional
outline without the Roman numerals, capital letters, and so forth, so
within any section, if any headings at the next lower heading level are
used, at least two such headings must be used.
Tables and figures can enhance both the reader's understanding of
information and the efficiency of its presentation. But just as too
many overhead slides can ruin an oral presentation, too many figures and
tables can detract from the overall narrative. Thus we encourage the
judicious use of tables and figures and we discourage their overuse.
The proper construction of tables and figures is a detailed craft, so in
preparing them for your manuscript, please follow the detailed
instructions presented in the styles guides of the Academy of Management Journal and Academy of Management Review, both of which are published in the first issue each year.
Guidelines for submitting figures/images:
Color Reproduction: The Academy of Management encourages the use of color in the online version of the article. Authors have the option to produce the artwork in color in the online version and in black and white for the print edition. The default option is to produce all tables, figures, and photos in black and white in the print version and color (if required) in the online version.
If you have any style questions regarding color reproductions, please contact Stacey Victor (email@example.com).
As with AMJ and AMR, AMLE follows the referencing format and practices of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association,
5th ed. closely, although there are minor differences. So in the text,
cite the author, year of publication, and if appropriate, the page
numbers within parentheses. For example: (Gopen & Swan, 1990:
An important detail when citing a reference is whether to give the exact page numbers. We ask that authors always give
the exact page number(s) when they quote another source verbatim. This
is also good practice when citing a specific finding. Page numbers are
not always necessary, of course, and many times it will simply be a
matter for your own judgment. However, we ask that you put yourself in
the place of a reader who would like to check the cited finding or
idea. Would your citation allow the reader to easily locate the cited
material once the source was obtained? Or would the reader have to read
all of a 500-page book to track it down?
The reference list itself should be located at the end of the text before any
tables or figures that accompany the manuscript. References should be
listed in alphabetical order, and if more than one reference from the
same source is listed, list them in chronological order beginning with
the oldest source first. Many types of sources can be listed, of course, and we refer you to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association,
5th ed., for advice on almost any type of source you would like to
cite. However, we present models of the most common types of sources
A key distinction for articles is whether they are part of a
page-numbering sequence that runs through the entire volume or begins
anew with each issue of the periodical. An example of each type is
given below, with the form for the volume-length numbering illustrated
first, followed by the form for the numbered-by-issue method.

Recipe Preparation
Whisk flours, sugar, and salt in large bowl. Add butter. Using fingertips, rub in butter until coarse meal forms. Add 1/4 cup ice water, stirring until clumps form, adding more water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic; chill 1 hour. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled. Let rest 15 minutes at room temperature before rolling out.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Place sheet of parchment on work surface; sprinkle with flour. Roll out crust on parchment to 13-inch round. Using pot lid as guide, trim dough to 12-inch round. Slide crust on parchment onto rimless baking sheet. Chill dough.
Using electric mixer, beat egg white in medium bowl until foamy. With machine running, gradually add 1/4 cup sugar, beating until firm peaks form. Fold in almond meal. Set 1 Pluot, stem side up, on work surface. Working parallel to pit, cut 1/8-inch-thick rounds off both sides of Pluot. Repeat with remaining Pluots. (See how to cut the pluots.)
Spread meringue over crust. Arrange Pluot slices, slightly overlapping, in spiral pattern atop meringue, beginning at outer edge and working toward center, turning any end pieces cut side up. Finish with 1 Pluot slice in center. (See how to arrange the fruit.) Brush melted butter over Pluots; sprinkle tart with 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake tart 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 400°F and bake tart until edges are brown, about 20 minutes. Cool tart slightly on pan. Loosen with spatula. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Australia rattled off their 106-run target with 29 balls remaining in Dhaka to retain the trophy they won in 2012.
Captain Meg Lanning did much of the damage with 44 from 30 balls as England failed to gain revenge for that final loss two years ago.
England struggled to get going with the bat after being put in, Heather Knight's 29 the best any of their top order could muster.
Sarah Coyte impressed with the ball with three wickets for 16, including the key dismissals of Sarah Taylor (18) and Edwards (13) at the top of the order, as England were limited to 105 for eight.
Australia, who have now won the last three Women's World Twenty20s, always looked in control, Lanning's knock setting up the success and Ellyse Perry's unbeaten 31 seeing them home for the loss of four wickets.

Nexus Pearl Grey Porcelain Glazed Matt Wall and Floor Tiles 610x300mm
This tile is a porcelain material, which means it is stain and water resistant; perfect for a messy kitchen or bathroom with condensation. It is also durable and long lasting.
The Matt finish means gives a dull but attractive effect with no shine, which is good for rooms that attract lots of light. The fact they are glazed makes them slightly less slip-resistant than ordinary matt tiles, but this makes them good for cleaning.
The unique pearl grey colour of this tile gives it a slightly wooden appearance, with hints of stone and marble. You will struggle to find another tile like this. Try using it if you need to make the room feel more spacious, as lighter colours enable this.
As this is a wall & floor tile, you can create a seamless and modern effect by using the tile on both surfaces. Otherwise, using the tiles on one surface will still help achieve the contemporary look while tying in other colours and materials for greater personalisation.
This product is suitable for underfloor heating, so you need not worry about the temperature of tiles.
Please try our free samples if you are interested in this product.
Prepare the Surface Area
Any cracks or damaged areas should be repaired and the surface should be level. If a primer has been purchased then the primer should be applied and left to dry. Plan the Layout of the Tiles
Mark the centre of the surface area using snap chalk and plan where each tile will lay. This can be completed by dry laying each tile or simply marking where each tile will be installed. This will allow the edge pieces to be measured and cut accordingly.
Apply Adhesive
It is important to read manufacturer's instructions if the adhesive requires mixing. The adhesive should be applied with a trowel and only 1 meter squared should be applied at a time. A ¼" coat is usually recommended; however, this may vary depending on the tile. Use the notched side of the trowel at a 45-degree angle to remove any excess adhesive.
Lay the Tiles
If you are laying floor tiles then start in the centre of the room, or if you're laying wall tiles then start in a corner and work your way across. Place spacers in between tiles to ensure an even joint gap is created. Gently tap all tiles into place and wipe away any excess adhesive from the surface of the tiles using a damp sponge. Always check the lines are even using a spirit level. Leave to dry for 24 hours.
Apply Grout
Use a grout flout to push the grout into the joints at a 45-degree angle using diagonal swipes. Ensure any excess grout is removed from the surface of the tiles to avoid damaging the final appearance. The grout should take around 20 minutes to cure. Once the grout has cured, wipe down all tiles with a damp cloth. Once the tiles have been left for 72 hours then you are able to apply a coat of sealant over the tiles or grout.Always read the manufacturer's instructions on packaging as aspects of the installation method may change due to variation of products.
UK Delivery
Here at Tile Monkey we have two main delivery options. Our economy delivery will arrive to you within 2-3 standard working days, alternatively, we offer a next day delivery service for orders placed before 12pm for guaranteed delivery the day after purchase.

Dr. Michael Siegel, a hard-charging public health researcher at Boston University, argues that e-cigarettes could be the beginning of the end of smoking in America. He sees them as a disruptive innovation that could make cigarettes obsolete, like the computer did to the typewriter.
But his former teacher and mentor, Stanton A. Glantz, a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, is convinced that e-cigarettes may erase the hard-won progress achieved over the last half-century in reducing smoking. He predicts that the modern gadgetry will be a glittering gateway to the deadly, old-fashioned habit for children, and that adult smokers will stay hooked longer now that they can get a nicotine fix at their desks.
These experts represent the two camps now at war over the public health implications of e-cigarettes. The devices, intended to feed nicotine addiction without the toxic tar of conventional cigarettes, have divided a normally sedate public health community that had long been united in the fight against smoking and Big Tobacco.
The essence of their disagreement comes down to a simple question: Will e-cigarettes cause more or fewer people to smoke? The answer matters. Cigarette smoking is still the single largest cause of preventable death in the United States, killing about 480,000 people a year.
Dr. Siegel, whose graduate school manuscripts Dr. Glantz used to read, says e-cigarette pessimists are stuck on the idea that anything that looks like smoking is bad. "They are so blinded by this ideology that they are not able to see e-cigarettes objectively," he said. Dr. Glantz disagrees. "E-cigarettes seem like a good idea," he said, "but they aren't."
Science that might resolve questions about e-cigarettes is still developing, and many experts agree that the evidence so far is too skimpy to draw definitive conclusions about the long-term effects of the devices on the broader population.
"The popularity is outpacing the knowledge," said Dr. Michael B. Steinberg, associate professor of medicine at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School at Rutgers University. "We'll have a better idea in another year or two of how safe these products are, but the question is, will the horse be out of the barn by then?"
This high-stakes debate over what e-cigarettes mean for the nation's 42 million smokers comes at a crucial moment. Soon, the Food and Drug Administration is expected to issue regulations that would give the agency control over the devices, which have had explosive growth virtually free of any federal oversight. (Some cities, like Boston and New York, and states, like New Jersey and Utah, have already weighed in, enacting bans in public places.)
The new federal rules will have broad implications for public health. If they are too tough, experts say, they risk snuffing out small e-cigarette companies in favor of Big Tobacco, which has recently entered the e-cigarette business. If they are too lax, sloppy manufacturing could lead to devices that do not work properly or even harm people.
And many scientists say e-cigarettes will be truly effective in reducing the death toll from smoking only with the right kind of federal regulation — for example, rules that make ordinary cigarettes more expensive than e-cigarettes, or that reduce the amount of nicotine in ordinary cigarettes so smokers turn to e-cigarettes for their nicotine.
"E-cigarettes are not a miracle cure," said David B. Abrams, executive director of the Schroeder National Institute for Tobacco Research and Policy Studies at the Legacy Foundation, an antismoking research group. "They need a little help to eclipse cigarettes, which are still the most satisfying and deadly product ever made."
Smoking is already undergoing a rapid evolution. Nicotine, the powerful stimulant that makes traditional cigarettes addictive, is the crucial ingredient in e-cigarettes, whose current incarnation was developed by a Chinese pharmacist whose father died of lung cancer. With e-cigarettes, nicotine is inhaled through a liquid that is heated into vapor. New research suggests that e-cigarettes deliver nicotine faster than gum or lozenges, two therapies that have never quite taken off.
Sales of e-cigarettes more than doubled last year from 2012, to $1.7 billion, according to Bonnie Herzog, an analyst at Wells Fargo Securities. Ms. Herzog said that in the next decade, consumption of e-cigarettes could outstrip that of conventional cigarettes. The number of stores that sell them has quadrupled in just the last year, according to the Smoke Free Alternatives Trade Association, an e-cigarette industry trade group.
"E-cigarette users sure seem to be speaking with their pocketbooks," said Mitchell Zeller, director of the F.D.A.'s Center for Tobacco Products.
Public health experts like to say that people smoke for the nicotine but die from the tar. And the reason e-cigarettes have caused such a stir is that they take the deadly tar out of the equation while offering the nicotine fix and the sensation of smoking. For all that is unknown about the new devices — they have been on the American market for only seven years — most researchers agree that puffing on one is far less harmful than smoking a traditional cigarette.
But then their views diverge.
Pessimists like Dr. Glantz say that while e-cigarettes might be good in theory, they are bad in practice. The vast majority of people who smoke them now also smoke conventional cigarettes, he said, and there is little evidence that much switching is happening. E-cigarettes may even prolong the habit, he said, by offering a dose of nicotine at times when getting one from a traditional cigarette is inconvenient or illegal.
What is more, critics say, they make smoking look alluring again, with images on billboards and television ads for the first time in decades. Dr. Glantz says that only about half the people alive today have ever seen a broadcast ad for cigarettes. "I feel like I've gotten into a time machine and gone back to the 1980s," he said.
Researchers also worry that e-cigarettes could be a gateway to traditional cigarettes for young people. The devices are sold on the Internet. The liquids that make their vapor come in flavors like mango and watermelon. Celebrities smoke them: Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Leonardo DiCaprio puffed on them at the Golden Globe Awards.
A survey from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that in 2012, about 10 percent of high school students said they had tried an e-cigarette, up from 5 percent in 2011. But 7 percent of those who had tried e-cigarettes said they had never smoked a traditional cigarette, prompting concern that e-cigarettes were, in fact, becoming a gateway.
"I think the precautionary principle — better safe than sorry — rules here," said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the C.D.C.
E-cigarette skeptics have also raised concerns about nicotine addiction. But many researchers say that the nicotine by itself is not a serious health hazard. Nicotine-replacement therapies like lozenges and patches have been used for years. Some even argue that nicotine is a lot like caffeine: an addictive substance that stimulates the mind.
"Nicotine may have some adverse health effects, but they are relatively minor," said Dr. Neal L. Benowitz, a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, who has spent his career studying the pharmacology of nicotine.
Another ingredient, propylene glycol, the vapor that e-cigarettes emit — whose main alternative use is as fake smoke on concert and theater stages — is a lung irritant, and the effects of inhaling it over time are a concern, Dr. Benowitz said.
But Dr. Siegel and others contend that some public health experts, after a single-minded battle against smoking that has run for decades, are too inflexible about e-cigarettes. The strategy should be to reduce harm from conventional cigarettes, and e-cigarettes offer a way to do that, he said, much in the way that giving clean needles to intravenous drug users reduces their odds of getting infected with the virus that causes AIDS.
Solid evidence about e-cigarettes is limited. A clinical trial in New Zealand, which many researchers regard as the most reliable study to date, found that after six months about 7 percent of people given e-cigarettes had quit smoking, a slightly better rate than those with patches.
"The findings were intriguing but nothing to write home about yet," said Thomas J. Glynn, a researcher at the American Cancer Society.
In Britain, where the regulatory process is more developed than in the United States, researchers say that smoking trends are heading in the right direction.
"Motivation to quit is up, success of quit attempts are up, and prevalence is coming down faster than it has for the last six or seven years," said Robert West, director of tobacco studies at University College London. It is impossible to know whether e-cigarettes drove the changes, he said, but "we can certainly say they are not undermining quitting."
The scientific uncertainties have intensified the public health fight, with each side seizing on scraps of new data to bolster its position. One recent study in Germany on secondhand vapor from e-cigarettes prompted Dr. Glantz to write on his blog, "More evidence that e-cigs cause substantial air pollution." Dr. Siegel highlighted the same study, concluding that it showed "no evidence of a significant public health hazard."
That Big Tobacco is now selling e-cigarettes has contributed to skepticism among experts and advocates.
Cigarettes went into broad use in the 1920s — and by the 1940s, lung cancer rates had exploded. More Americans have died from smoking than in all the wars the United States has fought. Smoking rates have declined sharply since the 1960s, when about half of all men and a third of women smoked. But progress has slowed, with a smoking rate now of around 18 percent.
"Part of the furniture for us is that the tobacco industry is evil and everything they do has to be opposed," said John Britton, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Nottingham in England, and the director for the U.K. Center for Tobacco and Alcohol Studies. "But one doesn't want that to get in the way of public health."
Carefully devised federal regulations might channel the marketing might of major tobacco companies into e-cigarettes, cannibalizing sales of traditional cigarettes, Dr. Abrams of the Schroeder Institute said. "We need a jujitsu move to take their own weight and use it against them," he said.
Dr. Benowitz said he could see a situation under which the F.D.A. would gradually reduce the nicotine levels allowable in traditional cigarettes, pushing smokers to e-cigarettes.
"If we make it too hard for this experiment to continue, we've wasted an opportunity that could eventually save millions of lives," Dr. Siegel said.
Dr. Glantz disagreed.
"I frankly think the fault line will be gone in another year," he said. "The evidence will show their true colors."

Our gift to you
by Barry
Grocery bills are up — but do you think the grocer will look into your pantry and suggest ways to spend less on food? Gas prices are taking a big bite out of consumers' budgets. But could you call on the gas station owner to help you use less of their product?
These scenarios aren't likely. Yet for as long as they have existed, electric cooperatives have done their best to show their members how to use electricity efficiently. Never before has this offer of help been stressed more than in today's tough economic times.
Those who keep track of power use tell us these efforts have paid off. Missouri electric cooperative members are using less electricity. When this hapens, all members benefit because it is more expensive to generate electricity today than it was in the past and the kilowatt-hours saved can be used to meet growth in demand for electricity in rural Missouri.
And while the price per kilowatt-hour has increased at some locations because of the increased cost to generate electricity, members are reducing the impact by using electricity more efficiently in their homes and businesses.
These days it is far easier to practice energy efficiency than it was during the first energy crisis. There are alternatives and resources available to you besides putting on a sweater and doing without Christmas lights, like President Carter once asked us to do.
Last spring, electric cooperatives served by Associated Electric Cooperative launched a campaign called "Take Control & Save." Through this effort, more than a million energy-efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs were given away or sold at low cost.
Some co-ops offered rebates on energy efficient appliances, an especially enticing gift to those in need of an upgrade anyway since most new appliances are Energy-Star rated and use less energy.
They brought energy guru Doug Rye to Missouri so that members could benefit from his energy-saving ideas. And his radio show is being broadcast across Missouri thanks to co-op sponsorships.
Elsewhere, when a member complains of a high bill, electric cooperative employees work with them on ways to reduce their use and the monthly impact to the member. Sometimes this is as simple as caulking around windows, insulating electrical outlets or wrapping your water heater with an insulating blanket or replacing it with a more efficient model. Other times, lifestyle changes, such as getting teenagers to turn off lights, TVs or computers, are all it takes.
Electric cooperatives willingly do these things, even though they hurt the bottom line, because you are the cooperative. When you and your family suffer, the cooperative suffers too.
As this year ends, we reflect on what has been done to help members in need, and what else can be done to provide more assistance. We look forward to continuing the "Our Energy, Our Future" campaign, which focuses on ensuring electricity remains affordable and reliable.
If you haven't sent your e-mail asking the three questions, contact your local co-op and tell them you want to get involved. If you are computer savvy, go to www.ourenergy.coop and send your e-mail. Make sure your whole family does it, too, and also ask your friends and neighbors.
The 450,000 questions that have been asked so far from Missouri co-op members are having an impact in Washington, D.C. But we need more members to have their voices heard!
We look forward to working closely with Gov.-elect Jay Nixon in solving the state's energy challenges. And we'll do our best to help you make ends meet.
Think of that as a gift to you from the employees of your co-op who work hard every day to serve you.
Hart is executive vice president of the Association
of Missouri Electric Cooperatives.

Rusty Yates sees 'eerie' similarities between Andrea Yates, new Pittsburgh case
Rusty Yates sees "eerie" similarities between the tragedy that unfolded at his Clear lake home and a new case of Pittsburgh mother accused of killing her children.
The former husband of Andrea Yates, who killed her five children in 2001 by drowning them in a bathtub, spoke to this week to Headline News' Jane Valez-Mitchell regarding a similar case in Pennsylvania.
Pittsburgh-area Michelle Schlemmer is accused of holding her two young sons under bath water, killing a 3-year-old and leaving a 6-year-old fighting for his life in a hospital. The mother told officials that she had heard voices, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Schlemmer's 7-year-old son was not harmed.
Yates' seven-minute appearance detailed the Schlemmer case and looked at similarities between both cases. Yates commented that the use of presciption medications could have been a factor in this new tragedy.
"I really feel for their family. They are being thrust into the media spotlight," Yates said.
Andrea Yates, now 49, was initially convicted of capital murder in 2002 for the drowning deaths of Noah, 7, John, 5. Paul, 3, Luke 2, and Mary, 6 months, and sentenced to life in prison. An appeals court granted a new trial, after which she became a patient at Kerrville State Hospital.
In February, it was reported that Yates' doctors had recommended that she be granted permission to attend group outings with other patients at the state psychiatric hospital where she has been institutionalized since a 2006 retrial found her innocent by reason of insanity, according to her attorney George Parnham.
After much public outcry, Yates dropped the request for group outing passes.
To pass the time at the hospital, she makes greeting cards and sews aprons, which are sold anonymously at craft shows. Parnham said Yates sends the proceeds to the Yates Children Memorial Fund, which began in 2002 to improve the mental health outcomes of mothers of new babies in the region.
Rusty Yates divorced Andrea Yates in 2004 and he has since remarried and started a new family.

The new Sixers owners were introduced at the Palestra today, using the phrase "world class and cutting edge" to describe their approach.
And they wasted little time in putting their plan in motion, announcing a "50 percent or more" cut in single-game ticket prices for just under 9,000 seats at the Wells Fargo Center. The team will also announced a new marketing slogan and unveiled plans to solicit direct fan suggestions and comments via the Internet.
The ownership group includes four native Philadelphians and six graduates of Penn, including the majority owners Josh Harris and David Blitzer.
The new group took control of the team last night at 11:59 p.m., ending a lengthy process of negotiation and approval. The sides agreed to a deal believed to be worth $330 million for the team in July. The NBA Board of Governors approved the sale late last week, leading to today's announcement.
"I am going to be a great fan," Harris said. "I'm going to be excited when we win and upset when we lose. We are going to try to be rational about how we run the team. It's pretty simple. We want to be world class and cutting edge up and down the organization in everything we do. We want to reflect well on us, be positive in the community. On the court, off the court.
"In some ways, the fact that the deal took a little bit of time allowed us to get ahead. You'll be seeing over the coming days that we are going to try to improve how we work as a team and work in the Philadelphia community."
As founder of Apolo Global Management, Harris has made his fortune, estimated at $1.5 billion in distressed properties, although he winced at the notion that the Sixers would be described as distressed. He said the key for the business plan, and something he has had success with in other fields, is to separate one asset from what he termed a "broader package of assets." The Sixers will be a tenant at the Wells Fargo Center and have a broadcast agreement with Comcast SportsNet.
"When we have done that in the past, with other business, that singular focus and bringing everyone together breathes new life into a lot of situations," he said. "In many cases, the businesses we have owned clearly don't have as much as media attention as the Sixers do. That is something we are going to have to get used to. We are going into this with eyes wide open and willing to accept that. Another difference is the talent side of the business in terms of having the people that are very high profile that also are very well compensated and also make news being part of the situation. A lot of times we buy boring businesses that you have never heard of.
"Clearly, I am not doing this for Apollo, doing this for me personally. This reflects personally on me, I am going to live and breathe this, come down to the games, be involved in the city of Philadelphia. I come down to Penn periodically. This will give me a chance to reinvigorate my relationships."
Harris was asked how he could turn around a franchise that has largely lost money since its run to the NBA Finals in 2001.
"We're lucky enough to buy the third most winning franchise in basketball history," he said. "We are getting a storied franchise at a time where we were able to get what we think is an appropriate deal for the team. We think we are able to participate in breathing new life in to the team.
"The team has been less connected with its fans and as a result was not generating revenue and selling tickets as we think we can do. It wasn't realizing its potential. There are lots of things we can do by improving the financial situation of the team connecting with fans, making it a great experience. We have to win. We have a team and executives very capable of doing that … This is a really exciting business opportunity in addition to being exciting to be part of a storied team."
Harris said he will remain New York, but "you can expect to see my smiling face at many of the games. All of the owners will be down here with me, working on the team. They are doing it because they want to be involved in this. This is not just a financial investment. This is going to be my night job, if you will."
The new owners made four announcements:
* Ticket prices for individual game tickets on just under 9,000 seats at the Wells Fargo Center will be cut by 50 percent or more for every single game. "This is not a sale or promotion," Aron said. "These are our new ticket prices. Period. Full stop." He added, "Simply stated, price will not be an obstacle in preventing Philadelphia sports fans from enjoying NBA basketball in person. On game nights, come to our arena, guys and girls. Bring your friends; parents bring your kids. Our house is now your house." Aron said the team is not planning to cut prices for season ticketholders. "Our current season ticketholders already enjoy some significant price discounts off the price of their tickets," he said. "The current season ticketholders are doing extremely well." He said the intention of the price cuts is to marry ticket prices to demand.
* The team will take out full-page advertisements in the Daily News and Inquirer tomorrow that it is calling an open letter to Philadelphia sports fans. "In it we will state our philosophy about leading the Sixers, a manifesto of sorts," Aron said. He said the team would solicit fan suggestions and comments via www.newsixersowner.com. He said he would personally read all the suggestions. The 1,776 comments deemed to be the best would receive a free ticket to a Sixers game. "Being the new kids on the block, we intend to truly listen to our fans," Aron said.
* The team announced a new marketing slogan. "Philadelphia 76ers: Passionate, Intense, Proud." "These words have been swirling around the Sixers for decades. We think they perfectly encapsulate what Philadelphia sports fans and Sixers are all about. It truly defines our brand.
* Aron also talked about plans to improve the fan experience. He said the team will announce a "series of specific announcements of exactly how we will be enhancing and improving what our fans will enjoy when they enjoy Sixers games in person. We can't wait to rise to the challenge." We will not be selling the 76ers on the basis of price. We will work tirelessly every waking moment to offer Philaldelphians, exciting, winning basketball. We intend to literally transform the Sixers fan experience on game nights at the Wells Fargo Center."

COUNT DOWN: Summary of Action Week
COUNTDOWN to Court-Martial (Fort Meade, MD, Dec 14-15)
THE JURY IS IN: Look for a full summary from SOC later this evening.

- Forfeiture of pay
- Dismissal of from the Service
- Pending judicial review.
Terry Needs Your Help
This week, the American Patriot Foundation heard from a retired Navy SEAL, shocked by the stunning decision by a civilian court in which a terrorist suspect/detainee was convicted on only ONE count of 249 criminal charges: "Let me see if I understand this, Col. Lakin can get a more severe punishment that Ahmed Ghailani?"
Unlike Ghailani, LTC Lakin is being tried in a military court-- for defying military orders in order to seek the truth about whether Obama is legally, Constitutionally eligible to serve as Commander-in-Chief. LTC Lakin's sworn oath as a military officer requires him to uphold the U.S. Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
No one in his chains of command or in his Congressional delegation could tell him-- after more than a year of seeking assurance that his orders were lawful-- if Obama met the requirements of Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution of a "natural born citizen" and was entitled to command the U.S. Armed Forces. LTC Lakin's military orders to deploy to Afghanistan under Obama's announced surge, included a requirement that he present copies of his birth certificate (to which he dutifully complied).
We continue to be amazed at an administration that balks at producing such a simple, elementary document-- one that every US citizen possesses and is asked to show many times during his or her lifetime.
Thanks again to everyone who generously volunteered their time for Terry Lakin Action Week-- we are making headway- and want to encourage everyone to keep up the phone calls, letters and emails to elected officials on behalf of LTC Lakin. Your outreach is making a difference. Please keep spreading the word to others!
The House Government Reform and Oversight Committee (majority/minority contacts listed below) is the major investigatory body in the House of Representatives. We recommend lodging a protest at the denial of traditional due process rights to LTC Lakin, a criminal defendant. Since LTC Lakin is being denied access to evidence-- to documents-- which could prove his innocence- we urge Terry's supporters to make contact with the Committee Members and staff and urge the Committee to use its subpoena powers to force open the sealed records necessary to determine whether Barack Obama is a "natural born" citizen and therefore constitutionally eligible to hold the office of President.
At the very least, the administration has wasted a huge amount of the nation's time. At worst, Obama is in fact not eligible to be President. Would that be uncomfortable? Would it be inconvenient? Would it be problematic? Of course. But this nation has survived many traumatic events in its past and would survive this. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land- and it must be upheld.

Celiac Disease
Latest Innovations. Subspecialty Care. Strength in Patient Follow-Up
Celiac disease is a condition in which the small intestine suffers damage as a result of sensitivity to gluten, which is found in wheat, rye, barley, and oats. This hereditary disorder interferes with nutrient absorption in the digestive tract.
When persons with celiac disease eat foods containing gluten, their immune system responds by producing an inflammation on the surface of the small intestine. Tiny fingerlike protrusions, called villi, which line the small intestine and enable the absorption of nutrients from food into the bloodstream, are lost. Without these villi, malnutrition occurs, regardless of how much food a person consumes.
Celiac disease is the most common genetic disease in certain European countries. Recent studies have suggested that it is significantly under-diagnosed in the U.S.
The many potential complications from celiac disease are those associated with damage to the small intestine and nutrient malabsorption, including osteoporosis, cancer, nerve damage, seizures, infertility, short stature if the disease develops at an early age, as well as miscarriage and congenital malformation of babies born to mothers who have the disease.
Causes/risk factors
Celiac disease is a genetic disease that runs in families. A person can have the disease and not know until it is triggered by severe stress, pregnancy, surgery, physical injury, infection, or childbirth.
Signs & symptoms
Celiac disease affects people in different ways. Some people may develop symptoms as children, whereas others do not experience symptoms until adulthood. Some may have diarrhea and abdominal pains, while others have irritability or depression with the onset of the disease.
Common symptoms are these:
- chronic diarrhea;
- weight loss;
- recurring abdominal pain and bloating;
- gas;
- pale, foul-smelling stool;
- unexplained anemia;
- muscle cramps or weakness, or bone pain;
- pain in the joints;
- tingling numbness in the legs;
- delayed growth;
- fatigue;
- painful skin rash;
- missed menstrual periods (which is linked to excessive weight loss);
- and tooth discoloration or loss of enamel.
Sometimes individuals with celiac disease are asymptomatic, as the undamaged part of the small intestine is still able to absorb enough nutrients. However, these persons are still at risk for complications of the disease.
Because symptoms of celiac disease are similar to those of other digestive diseases such as Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, diverticulosis, and intestinal infections, it can be difficult to diagnose. In addition to taking a medical history and performing a physical examination, physicians may request the following diagnostic procedures in order to diagnose celiac disease:
- blood work (to measure the level of antibodies to gluten). Researchers have found that persons with celiac disease have higher than normal levels of certain antibodies in their blood. These antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to substances (such as gluten) that the body perceives as threatening.
- biopsy via upper endoscopy.
In addition to treatment of symptoms, treatment for celiac disease is also based on responding to and compensating for the underlying condition; that is, making dietary changes to avoid gluten and the immune reaction that it triggers. Working to achieve a gluten-free diet is the key to treatment, as there is no way to reverse the basis of the disease. Thus, for those with celiac disease, adhering to a gluten-free diet is a lifetime requirement, as eating any gluten will further damage the intestine.
For most individuals, eliminating gluten from their diet will stop symptoms, heal intestinal damage that has already occurred, and prevent further damage. Usually, a person will see an improvement in symptoms within days of starting the diet and, within three to six months, the small intestine is usually completely healed, with villi intact and working. For older persons, complete healing may take up to two years.
Persons on a gluten-free diet must avoid all foods containing wheat, rye, barley and (sometimes) oats. This includes foods containing spelt, triticale, and kamut and most grain, pasta, cereal, and processed foods. While this excludes many foods, persons with celiac disease can still enjoy a well-balanced diet, substituting foods made with potato, rice, soy, or bean flour. There are also a variety of gluten-free breads and pastas available at health food stores and through special food companies.
Scientists are still trying to determine whether persons with celiac disease can eat oats, as some people are able to without having a reaction. Until studies are more definitive, persons with celiac disease should follow their physician's or a dietitian's advice.
Plain meat, fish, rice, vegetables, and fruits do not contain gluten, so these can be eaten without worry. It is important for persons with celiac disease to be especially careful when dining out, or eating at school, work, or social functions. A gluten-free diet must be a lifetime commitment to keep celiac disease under control. Those with the condition should consult their physician, dietitian, or other healthcare professional to learn more about a gluten-free diet.
