Rainbow Light's Company MissionExcellence in formulation and innovation, grounded in the power of nature, delivers optimal health benefits and fuels their high-impact contributions to fight malnutrition worldwide. Vigilant attention toward sustainability in packaging, ingredient, and business choices lessen their environmental footprint and contribute to the health of our planet.
For 30 years, they have delivered measurable, sustainable health benefits that create a difference you can feel while empowering you to make a difference in three important ways:
What is the Origin of the Rainbow Light Name?Rainbow Light began in 1981 by offering consumers a nutritious spirulina supplement and went on to become the first-ever food-based supplement brand. During nutritional content testing procedures in those early days, their researchers discovered that spirulina, when exposed to a light spectrophotometer, refracted all the colors of the rainbow.
In addition to their simple beauty, these rainbow colors revealed the full spectrum of nutritional constituents present in spirulina. Inspired by the power of nature revealed in this nourishing food base, their brand name was born! Since then, Rainbow Light has become a natural products leader and today, certified organic spirulina is still their primary food base. For 30 years, their targeted, food-based supplements have been delivering measurable health benefits and positive improvements in daily energy and vitality you can feel.
Eco•Guard Bottles
At Rainbow Light, they are committed to reducing their carbon footprint and keeping plastic bottles from ending up in our oceans, natural habitats and landfills. The new Eco-Guard bottles help to achieve these goals by reusing post-consumer plastic and encouraging customers to recycle their bottles. These efforts will keep over 8 million plastic bottles out of landfills each year.
Other Ingredients: Natural mineral or vegetable source cellulose, stearic acid (vegetable) modified cellulose, silica.
Coating: vegetable food glaze (hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose).

The new realities of retirement in the UAE
Many people in the UAE are in for a tough retirement because the financial demands of day-to-day living and certain life events are preventing them to save, a research suggests.
In its latest series of studies, The Future of Retirement: A new reality, HSBC looked into the obstacles that prevent consumers from saving for their later life.
It found that certain "life events" are affecting people's finances, with 43 per cent of the respondents in the UAE saying that buying a home or paying a mortgage has had a major impact on their ability to continue saving for their retirement.
More than a third (34 per cent) of those surveyed admitted that paying for children's education has significantly impacted their ability to save. Other major obstacles cited were becoming unemployed (23 per cent) and getting into debt or severe financial difficulty (22 per cent), among others.
Only 46 per cent of UAE residents are saving regularly and among the non-savers, 46 per cent said they are putting off retirement saving because all their money goes into living day-to-day.
The report, based on the survey of more than 15,000 people in 15 countries, including 1,000 respondents in the UAE, suggested that majority of the consumers are likely to have a tough financial time when they retire, with 54 of UAE residents saying they are not adequately prepared to have a comfortable retirement. About 17 per cent said they are not doing any preparations at all, while 36 per cent are not doing enough
The study also found that while people in the country expect to live for 15 years on average after they stop working, their retirement savings are likely to last for only nine years.
Simon Williams, group head of Wealth Management, HSBC, noted that setting aside enough money for retirement is a challenge that most people face around the world.
"Most people hope and aspire to a positive retirement filled with family and leisure pursuits. However, the majority of non-retired people admit that financially, they are not preparing adequately, or at all, for a comfortable retirement," Williams wrote.
The new HSBC report, the eighth in the series, explored people's retirement expectations, the obstacles that stop them from reaching their aspirations and how planning can help them ensure they have enough money for later life.
Although there is a huge proportion of UAE residents who are not adequately prepared for retirement, it doesn't mean most people don't realise the need to plan for their future. In fact, respondents understand that they need to start preparing early. They think that 37 is the latest age by which they should start mapping out their later years, if they want to retire comfortably.
UAE residents (20 per cent) are hopeful that the state pension will somehow provide them a source of income when they retire, but they are less reliant on it than the respondents in most other countries surveyed.
They expect the state pension to represent only 11 per cent of their retirement income, with the majority likely to dip into their cash savings and deposits, as well as other investments and personal pensions.

Nov 27th, 2012
The new development of high-power green laser diodes
Nichia Corporation has succeeded the development of high-power pure green laser diode which has optical output power higher than 1W with 525nm lasing wavelength, first time in the world*1,which will be applied for display application such as Laser TV.
The new developed high-power pure green laser diode was achieved by the optimization of epi-structures based on c-plane GaN substrates*2.
As a result, we have achieved 10 times greater optical output power*3 and 1.5 times higher Wall-Pulg-Efficiency*3 compared with the current lower power green laser diodes based on GaN.
The high-power pure green laser diode development complete the fundamental three colors semiconductor laser light source with 1W range output power for each color.
This three color laser light source will open the application of laser TV as well as laser projectors with the much lower power consumption and the higher color gamut.

While how true this is may be debatable (don't here, its off topic), I think it extends to history also. All history is local. Read more »

First Shot: Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days
The Kane & Lynch series always seemed to fascinate me. It seemed to be a game prime for success, with a gritty cinematic presentation and a dual comic book and movie series in development. Released back in 2007, Kane & Lynch: Dead Men was a big name title for Eidos Interactive that met with, well, what one could call "bad press" after the firing of a Gamespot editor for writing a negative review. Despite the potential for franchising the Kane & Lynch series, I never actually knew anybody who loved the game. I remember seeing consistent price drops for Dead Men whenever I'd be at a Gamestop and wondering how a game with such a perversely violent aesthetic could do so poorly. After popping in the disc for Dog Days, I asked myself whether developer iO Interactive spent the time righting the wrongs of the series before.
You start the game as Lynch, the schizophrenic murderer now heavily medicated and living a stable life with a girlfriend in Shanghai, as he meets with his former partner Kane for a heist told to him by a crime boss he works for. Soon enough, you find yourself in deep shit as the heist goes wrong and you're pinned down on all corners from mobsters, police, and the like. Players must now rely on the work with their partner in order to power through the horde (and holy hell, is it quite a horde) of gun-toting baddies that go after our titular duo. I decided to play the first few missions through co-op expecting the experience to be more reliable than an untrustworthy co-op A.I., but amazingly my partner and I had a difficult time doing simple tasks. Taking cover was a consistent problem as our enemies would furiously barrage us with bullets destroying whatever object we were hiding behind and aiming proved to be nearly non-existent; no matter what gun we used, the aiming reticule would barely manage to stay on target. The first mission took us about an hour to complete, and after deaths and flung controllers, I'm pretty sure we're in for a bumpy ride.
Be sure to check back in to Crispy Gamer soon when we have a full review of Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days.
I think what ruined Kane & Lynch was that the main characters were in no way whatsoever likable in any way shape or form. Most games that put players in the role of some sort of anti-hero or villian, design the main characters to be likable in some way.
What Kane & Lynch gave us was a mediocre FPS with no likable characters, a crappy AI, and lame controls.
Not to mention the terrible press they got when Gamespot fired Jeff Gerstmann after they gave the game a bad review on the site. The official word is that his firing was unrelated to the bad review they gave one of the company's advertisers. But if you believe that, you either have way more faith in mankind than I do, or you have no idea how mainstream gaming journalism works these days (Except for here, and I'll quit and hire the russian hackers needed to take this site down if we ever do something like that.)
So how did Kane & Lynch 2 come out? It's a Square Enix game. It was probably greenlighted before the first game hit the shelves.

I'm curious as to the cost of Red Wine as an over the counter suppliment versus what it would cost to take prescription drugs for heart disease. There must be an average cost per ounce of Red Wine for 10 oz / day compared to the daily dose of pills. I prefer the wine, but if I have to use it to wash down a pill, then so be it.

I'd rather give my hard-earned cash to Fetzer, not Pfizer. The side effects of a good zin or pinot noir are far more pleasurable, and you can't share those FDA-approved (gulp) pills with friends. Salute...

Beltramo's has a terrific red that's amazingly cheap -- only a few bucks more than Two Buck UpChuck. It's a Montepulciano d'Abruzzo called Quattro Mani, and some months ago the SFChron listed it as the best of all the wines included on its "best 50 wines -- $10 or less." And at $7, it was one of the cheapest of the 50. My hat's off to Fetzer, but my budget forces me to find cheaper means for keeping my heart healthy (and warm).

We could call it Romnesia: the ability of the very rich to forget the context in which they made their money. To forget their education, inheritance, family networks, contacts and introductions. To forget the workers whose labour enriched them. To forget the infrastructure and security, the educated workforce, the contracts, subsidies and bail-outs the government provided.

The moon can appear to be different colors due to the scattering of light by the atmosphere. When the moon is near the horizon, the moonlight has to pass through much more atmosphere than when the moon is directly overhead, since it is passing through at an angle. By the time the moonlight reaches your eyes, most of the shorter waves (green, blue, violet) of visible light have been scattered away by air molecules. You only see the longer wavelength colors of yellow, orange, or red.
Sometimes the moon appears different colors even when it's directly overhead. This occurs when there's a lot of dust, smoke, or pollution in the atmosphere. The size of those particles will determine the type of color you will see. Sometimes the moon will look red, orange...even blue.
The moon often appears dark red in our area when we have SW winds, which can put a lot more dirt particles in the air, producing a red color.

Live show review: Cloud Control and Body Parts at Barboza
{All photos by Amber Zbitnoff.}
The building at the corner of 10th & Pike was overwhelmed with good music on Tuesday night. Upstairs, Neumo's was celebrating their 10th anniversary (and 20th anniversary of Moe.) with My Goodness and The Thermals. Those two northwest bands are well known for putting on a good show. But the real show was downstairs, where Australia's Cloud Control played a stellar set to a packed room.
But before Cloud Control took the stage, Los Angeles band Body Parts warmed up the crowd. The band is fairly new to the scene, with only an EP released in 2012 and the band's debut full-length Fire Dream released late last year on Father/Daughter records. Bouncy, computer-driven rock pop is the best way to define the band's sound. Think !!! (Chk Chk Chk) meets the Talking Heads, with vocals provided by lead singer/songwriter Ryder Bach, whose voice sounds vaguely like a higher-pitched George Michael.
While the band had four people on stage, with Bach on guitar and vocals and songwriting partner Alina Cutrono on backup vocals and a second guitar, I was a bit disappointed to hear that most of the band's sound was provided by the Mac laptop sitting next to the keyboards. In fact, the keyboardist / percussionist played only one song on the keys, choosing to strike the bongos next to him with drumsticks for the bulk of the set. This is not to say that the music didn't sound good — it sounded fantastic, and the lively underground crowd was happily moving to the dance beats being generated onstage.
Body Parts shows plenty of potential. As their steeped-in-80s-electronica album starts to take hold — which it will undoubtedly do, given the revival we're mired in currently — you can expect bigger and better things from them. They played a short, opening-band set of only 35 minutes, leaving us primed and ready for the headliners.
If you're not familiar with Cloud Control, then you're missing out. There's a small but vocal insurgence of Australia-based bands that have slowly been working their way into the ears of those of us that have been paying attention. Bands like Valentine, Jagwar Ma, and Cloud Control have been making amazing music for the past few years, and they're finally starting to get their due.
Cloud Control's sound is very dancey, but rooted in rock & roll. The four-piece are in the middle of a short US tour that has them heading down the West coast this week before flying off to Europe for a slew of dates. The band is led by Alister Wright, a tall and gangly man with a lazy mass of ringlets on his head and a voice that has only a subtle hint of Australian slang. The rest of the band sings backup vocals and harmonies, in addition to the various instruments they play: Heidi Lenffer on keyboards (and sometimes lead vocals), Jeremy Kelshaw on bass, and Ulrich Lenffer on drums.
It's always nice when a band moves around on stage. Too often nowadays it seems that bands are too affected to care to do anything more than step from side to side or slowly bob their heads while performing, completely disconnected from the music they're creating. But not Cloud Control. More than once, Wright jumped and scissored his legs. Heidi would sashay in place, moving lithely to the beat. And Kelshaw provided a bit of confusion towards the end of their set when he stood his bass guitar box up on its long side and moved a mic near it. He then used it as an additional drum, slapping sticks along it's metal edge during "Gold Canary," from the band's 2010 debut Bliss Release.
And the bass-guitar-box-as-drum wasn't the only interesting turn for that song. Midway through the song, the band broke into a cover of Butthole Surfer's "Pepper," covering the entire second verse and chorus from that song. As the verse went on, you could hear the crowd slowly realize what was happening, and then start singing along, yelling by the time the chorus came along. That's one way to liven up a crowd, although we were really doing just fine without the additional incentive to lose our minds.
The band plays with a lot of reverb, a lot of fuzz, and plenty of excitement. I firmly believe they're too big for the small stage, and next time they come through town they'll be at least upstairs on the stage at Neumos proper, if not on one of the larger stages around town. You best start listening up now, or you'll miss out.

Show Preview: Damien Jurado at the Neptune
I wonder what it must be like to finally hit your stride after working in an industry for nearly 20 years. Damien Jurado has been a fixture of the Seattle indie rock scene since the mid-90s. Thanks to his 11-album career, released on seminal labels Sub Pop and Secretly Canadian, Jurado has always had a small but dedicated following. The "small" part of that started to change with the release of his critically-acclaimed 2012 album Maraqopa, where he made waves nationally.
Working with the same stellar team (including producer Richard Swift), Jurado has, unbelievably, created a new album that's even better. Titled Brothers and Sisters of the Eternal Son, this new release sounds like an extension of the music created on Maraqopa, but even more engaging, more engrossing.
The new album comes out January 21, and Jurado is performing music from it at his album release show at the Neptune Theatre tomorrow night, Friday, January 17. You would be well advised to catch this show, as it appears that Jurado is finally making a move to the big time. This may be the last opportunity to get up close and personal with him.
Live show review (with photos!): Benjamin Verdoes' CD release party at the Tractor
Review by Lindsey Bluher; photos by Amber Zbitnoff.
January is a weird month. There's all this anticipation built around the idea of a new chapter and change in the air. It seems as if Seattle Musicians have been taken by this notion, and with that, audiences accustomed to a particular sound from a particular band are getting a tad shaken up by new incarnates from familiar names. The first of such is the release, out this past Tuesday, from Benjamin Verdoes of Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band and Iska Dhaaf.
Many may had caught wind of The Evil Eye prior to release, but it was until recently with Stereogum's premiere of "Evil Eye" that fans of Verdoes snatched up a first listen. The song introduces a different version of the man behind Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band, there's an obvious sense of vulnerability in the lyrics – a trend which continued on the rest of the record.
Joined by album contributors Matt Badger, Sam Miller, Benjamin Verdoes rounded out the trio with Johnny Worman, and they took to the task of introducing Seattle to this new project under the Tractor's white lights. If Verdoes was nervous about revealing these new songs to the world, it wasn't obvious – there was a sense of ease in his voice as he sang "Evil Eye" to a crowd anxious to hear what was next from this Seattle talent.
The term 'revealing' is what comes to mind upon hearing The Evil Eye, and live the sense of seeing into the musician's past and present is unavoidable. In "Two Shadows" we seem to come face to face with a relationship's death rattle, and when Verdoes is standing 5 feet away, it's almost hard to look at him as he details such demise. That melancholy is a familiar sadness to many others, and that's perhaps makes performances like this so entrancing.
Just as on the record, "Two Shadows" was followed by "Under the Layers." While recorded as a duet, Verdoes performed the song all on his own. Coming after such an all together sad song, "Under the Layers" feels like that breathe of fresh air that comes after the initial sadness of something falls apart. There was a sense of comfort in the percussion and keys, which made Verdoes' voice seem warmer and relaxed.
The Tuesday night performance gave even more heat to an already exciting record. Verdoes' may be known as Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band, but to me, after Tuesday's introduction to the live performance of The Evil Eye, that shouldn't be what he's primarily associated with. I am already hopeful to see what unfolds for Benjamin Verdoes and his talented contributors, Matt Badger and Sam Miller.
An announcement…
This post is to let you know that content on ARS will be slow-going for the time being (two show reviews are coming this week), and it will eventually stop altogether, sooner rather than later. I'm going to put Another Rainy Saturday on hiatus, and probably be shut down for the foreseeable future.
Creating Another Rainy Saturday in 2010 is, unquestionably, the thing I've done in my life that I am most proud of. Working on it has been a labour of love for the past three and a half years, but my evolving interests and life as it is no longer coincide with running a daily music blog. It has been a joy getting to put out this site and to work with such an amazing group of people and to make so many great friends and to hear so much great music.
I will say, though, that I am not going away for good. Instead, I am very excited to announce I will become the new editor for the SunBreak. It is a fantastic website that has a great, dedicated readership and has a broader scope than ARS and has a brilliant group of writers. It was an opportunity I didn't want to let pass. I'm hoping to relaunch the site with a new look very soon. Please "like" the SunBreak on Facebook or follow them on Twitter for more information. You can, of course, continue to e-mail me at email@example.com or at my new e-mail address, firstname.lastname@example.com.
For now:
Film review: Pig Death Machine
Pig Death Machine is the first film in more than a decade from the cult filmmaker Jon Moritsugu and his wife/co-writer/star Amy Davis. It's an absurd, gonzo comedy that is lowbrow and low-budget ($5,400 for post production was raised via Kickstarter). Watching it will make you wonder where all of the money went.
It's at times very funny, if uneven, and often uncomfortable to watch. There are also moments of brilliance.
The plot, as it is, surrounds tainted meat in Santa Fe that Davis' ditzy Cocojoy character eats at a restaurant, transforming her into a super-genius. Lipton (Hannah Levbarg) is a goth, botany nerd who works at the same restaurant Cocojoy ate at, and she eats the same meat, giving her the power to hear her plants' cries for food and water. There's a hilarious scene that should give one pause before walking across a lawn.
What I most liked about Pig Death Machine were the vibrancy of the bright colors, adding a different element to go along with the essence of the film. It's a black comedy that doesn't look like one on its surface. The other thing I loved was the punk rock soundtrack, which included bands like Deerhoof. It's almost jarring how good some of the underground punk is in the film, whose uneasiness may have you reaching for Shazam, unsuccessfully, as an excuse to look away, but only for a moment.
{Pig Death Machine plays at the Northwest Film Forum Friday, January 10-Thursday, January 16. Tickets and more info can be found here.}

Farmers who have left weeds unattended in a field know that what happens next is akin to leaving two rabbits alone in a hutch. The problem is, the devastating consequences for a field are anything but cute and fuzzy.
"The ground turns purple" with weeds, says Larry Steckel, University of Tennessee Extension weed scientist. "You can actually see it driving by."
Weed seeds are remarkably resilient and a bane for farmers. Traditionally, research indicates that species such as pigweed and waterhemp can remain viable beneath the soil surface for four or five years, explains Kevin Bradley, University of Missouri Extension weed scientist. Weeds such as morningglory are viable for decades.
Those weed seeds not only live a long time, but they are also prolific. One waterhemp plant can produce 250,000 seeds on average, while Palmer pigweed routinely produces 500,000.
Use all available tools. A good plan is essential for managing weed seeds. Bob Kochendofer, who farms 1,100 acres of corn and soybeans near Jonesville, Mich., uses a pull-type Hardi sprayer with 90' booms to spray for chickweeds and other weeds in the fall. He then disks all of his soybean ground and pulls a packer over it at the same time in the spring. In the fall, he chops cornstalks to keep weed seeds in line.
"I figure you tear it up, and what weeds are stronger, you've got them tilled under again," Kochendofer says. He uses a post-emergence herbicide in the spring once the soybeans are up.
"There's not one tool that's going to cure all my problems," says Ryan Britt, who farms 5,000 acres of corn, soybeans, wheat, pasture, hay and cattle with his family near Salisbury, Mo. With no-till, he manages weeds using herbicides, including residuals, with unique modes of action.
Experts say farmers should sandbag weed seedbanks using tillage, natural predators, herbicide schedules with overlapping residuals, cover crops and even hand-weeding. As resistant weeds expand their footprint, a single approach is hazardous.
Deep tillage works by pushing weed seeds away from their comfort zone. Pigweeds germinate less than a ½" below the soil surface, while giant ragweed and cocklebur germinate between 2" and 3" deep, explains Aaron Hager, University of Illinois Extension weed scientist.
Machinery can bury seed between 10" and 12" into the soil profile, limiting their access to conditions that make germination easy, Bradley adds. Fields where deep tillage has been used are no-tilled the following year to avoid churning seeds back up.
At the same time, growers should realize that deep tillage might only delay the weed-seed problem, says Adam Davis, ecologist, USDA–Agricultural Research Service Global Change and Photosynthesis Research Unit. His research shows that seeds kept within 2" of the soil surface disappear more quickly than first thought. Common lambsquarters and velvetleaf—once believed to have half-lives of 15 years—can decline by 50% in approximately two years. The same is true for waterhemp.
"You could actually master [fields] in seven years, tops," Davis says.
Find the trouble spots. Rather than using machinery to bury the problem, Davis says, existing equipment can remove weed seeds for good. Weed patches can be mapped at harvest so combines don't cut through them. Afterward, they can be burned down or chopped with an aftermarket combine product that damages weed seeds, reducing their viability. Birds, worms and microbes can remove up to 95% of shed weed seeds, so farmers should wait at least four weeks after harvest before deep-tilling.
To complement machinery, farmers in southern Illinois and southern Iowa apply overlapping residual herbicides. A burndown with two or three active ingredients can be applied before corn or soybean planting, followed by a second application after emergence, Bradley says. About five or six chemicals are labeled for that use pattern.

PHILADELPHIA -- The 76ers found the fresh start at home they wanted.
Jrue Holiday scored 30 points, Thaddeus Young had 18 points and 12 rebounds and the Philadelphia 76ers snapped a five-game losing streak with a 107-100 win over the Houston Rockets on Saturday night.
Jason Richardson scored 16 points for the Sixers, who finally return home for a lengthy stint as they try to play their way back into the Eastern Conference playoff race. The Sixers opened a stretch of 12 home games in the next 13 and hope they can start to offset a miserable 2-6 road trip that stretched over the new year. They played 12 of 15 on the road dating back to Dec. 14.
"No excuses, you've got to play all 82," coach Doug Collins said. "But when they're bunched like that, it's tough. Over the holidays. We spent Christmas on the road. We spent New Year's on the road. That's not easy. People forget they do have families and they have to give that up."
The road woes are one reason the Sixers are only 6-16 after a nice 10-6 start to the season. But it's turned into crunch time quickly for the Sixers as they as try and get back to .500 in the next month before the hopeful return of injured centre Andrew Bynum.
James Harden led the Rockets with 29 points and Chandler Parsons had 23. Jeremy Lin missed 11 of 13 shots for seven points en route to Houston's third straight loss.
"Every team goes through some adversity and we're going through some a little bit right now," coach Kevin McHale said. "We didn't win. We've got to find a way to win."
Led by 24 points from Holiday, the energetic Sixers built a 14-point lead in the third quarter, and found an offensive touch they've missed for most of the season. The Sixers entered 27th in the NBA in scoring (92.2 points) and regularly failed to even reach 90 points over the last six weeks.
Spencer Hawes hit a jumper early in the fourth to make it 91-82 -- the first time in six games the Sixers had scored more than 89 points. The Sixers didn't break 89 in either of their two games before a 103-99 win over the Lakers on Jan. 1.
The cushion almost wasn't enough once Harden tried to take over. Collins called Harden a legitimate MVP candidate and the Houston guard showed why in the fourth. He scored six straight points, including the play of the game, going between his legs in transition and drawing a foul on a bucket over three defenders. Harden's three-point play pulled Houston to 96-93.
For once, the stumbling Sixers didn't break in the waning minutes. Evan Turner, who scored 12 points, fed a long pass to Young for a big dunk on the break and a seven-point lead.
The Rockets missed eight straight shots from the field to lose control of their comeback. Harden fumbled the ball with a minute a left and Young was there to pick it up and fire to Holiday, who took one look over his shoulder and put in the easy layup for a 104-94 lead.
Holiday sank two free throws to hit the 30-point mark, falling three points shy of matching his career high set in November against Phoenix. He made 11 of 22 shots, sank all seven attempts from the free-throw line and had nine assists (with six turnovers).
"We needed it," Holiday said. "Going into this home stretch, getting the first one is huge. Home court is big. It's crucial. On the road, we didn't do what we wanted to do. We've got to come here and try and win at home."
Houston's cold stretch was uncharacteristic of a team that was second in the NBA in scoring (105.60 points) behind Oklahoma City. The Rockets only shot 30 per cent from 3-point range (8 of 32) and had no answer to stop Holiday en route to their third straight loss.
"Teams are getting out to some good leads on us and we try and fight back," Harden said. "We get it back to a two- or three-point game and then run out of energy."
Collins has noted this team's missing energy to open second halves over the last month. Against Houston, they started slow, trailing by 11 before ending the quarter on a 20-6 run. Turner scored 12 points in the second quarter to help the Sixers take a 58-50 lead into halftime.
The Sixers held on to avoid a season-high losing streak and win for only the fourth time in 17 games.
NOTES: The Sixers are 15-0 with a lead at the start of the fourth quarter. ... The Sixers play Tuesday at Milwaukee for their only road game until Feb. 13. ... Holiday's great game could have been two points better. He had a jumper at the buzzer to end the third waved off after a review. ... Parsons and Harden combined to miss 13 of 16 3-point attempts.

The Buena Colts are back in the post-season conversation.
1st-year head coach Ryan Scherling led the young squad to an 8-2 record and the team's first post-season berth since 1993.
The Colts are the only Division I team from Southern Arizona to qualify for the playoffs. Buena is a 12-seed and will travel to the face Mesa Red Mountain Friday night.
The Colts are led by an explosive offense and opportunistic defense.
With just one senior on the offensive side of the ball, Buena managed to roll up 4,060 total yards while averaging 43 points per game. They can beat you through the air or on the ground.
That ground attack is led by Dominique Drake, a transfer senior, from DeMatha High School in Baltimore, MD. Drake averaged almost 11 yards per carry this season while scoring 29 touchdowns and gaining 2,020 yards.
The Colts are a little more seasoned on defense where they have six starters with experience. Senior linebacker Thomas Romack intercepted four passes this season, three of which he returned for touchdowns.
Buena's only two losses were to the top-seed in Division I, Phoenix Mountain Pointe, 58-7 in Week 4 and Cienega in Week 2.
Yes it's been 19 years since the Colts had the pleasure of entertaining a Week 11, well it's been longer than that since they've won a playoff game. Ten years longer.
You have to go back to 1983 to find the last time Buena succeeded in the post-season, beating Cactus that year 35-28.
If the Colts can win their first playoff game in 29 years they will travel back the winner of Phoenix Brophy Prep and Chandler

Today I've seen some videos about Slick and Play! Framework 2.1 and I got excited, so I thought, let's code an app with Slick. What did I realize? It wasn't that simple. Play! isn't yet thought to work with Slick very well.

Last weekend we had our annual parents meeting to let our students' parents know what we'll be teaching in our "guy/girl series" coming up later this month. The main agenda for this meeting is to give the parents a brief idea as to what we'll be teaching in that series (funny how they're not as curious about what we teach the rest of the year!) — but even more so, it's my chance to BEG parents to TALK to their kids about stuff related to the opposite gender, dating, and yes, even sex. Because you & I both know that it matters SO much for parents to have these kind of conversations with their kids!
I love having the opportunity to call parents to the challenge of having these potentially-awkward conversations with their students. I have had lots of parents contact me after this meeting to tell me how glad they were for the encouragement to talk to their kids…and over the years I've heard MANY humorous stories of how these conversations went!
There's a book I've been reading called "Forbidden Fruit: Sex & Religion in the Lives of American Teenagers." In the research that this author has conducted, he's found that the more important religion is to parents, the more difficult it is for those same parents to talk to their kids about sex!
I'm not sure whether those parents are just more conservative, or scared, or if they figure that conversations they've had with their kids about "making good choices in general" will suffice. But I really believe that most middle school parents really need ENCOURAGEMENT about how important it is to talk to their kids about this topic!
Love to hear any thoughts on what you do in connection with parents for the guy/girls series in your ministry!

There seems to be a fairly common temptation among junior high youth workers: To teach topics that don't apply at levels too deep for the vast majority of the junior highers in their audience.
The reason this happens, I tend to think, is fairly obvious and quite understandable. After you have taught junior highers for a few years, it is easy to become bored with teaching the same "junior high friendly" lessons over and over and over again.
Seriously, how often can we teach things like "basics of the faith" or "friendship 101″ or "God made you special!"?
The answer: over and over and over again. While you are growing in your faith, getting older, moving into different life stages….your audience isn't. You are stuck in a strange time warp of perpetual 13 year olds. Every year…year after year…your audience is a bunch of early adolescence in dire need of some of the most basic truths of Gods word.
I'm sure there are some exceptions, but I have found that the most effective junior high ministries are the ones that understand the role of age-appropriate lessons.
Sorta like shampoo….not sexy, but effective. Apply, lather, rinse and repeat.

About a weekago, Jonathan McKee asked me to read amanuscript of his upcoming book, "Candid Confessions of an Imperfect Parent". I did so partly because I like Jonathan and think he writes some pretty helpful stuff, and partly because I'm the parent of two teenagers; an imperfect one at that!
I have to say, I absolutely loved the book! It is one of those books that I will buy several copies of so I always have one ready to pass out to a parent in our ministry.
I don't know the release date, but my hunch is it won't be available until late Spring so it isn't really "coming soon", but it will be worth the wait.

For a whole lot of my junior high ministry career, there was a whole lot about junior high behavior that really bothered me. I was bothered partly because the behavior was bothersome, and partly because I felt the pressure (mostly self induced) that if I was a good youth worker, I would be able to change the behavior of my students. If you work with young teens, you certainly know the behavior I'm talking about: The gossip, the teasing, the selfishness, the insecurity, and so on.
Years later, I'm still bothered by the behavior…but not as much. Not because I know longer recognize the consequences of the way they treat each other, but because I have a better understanding of the motive behind it. Let me explain.
The junior high years are tough (remember yours?), and most young teens find themselves, consciously or subconsciously, in survival mode. They gossip because they think that helps them survive, they tease because it's better to be the teaser than to be the teased. They are selfish because in order to survive middle school, they can't afford to look out for anybody but themselves.
Again, this probably isn't a conscious decision (for most, they are simply survival instincts),but when you remember the physical, social, emotional and intellectual changes our students are experiencing at this age; it makes sense that behaviors like this manifest. Shoot…behaviors like this manifest in adults who should know better!
I wonder, if instead of teaching "against" these behaviors we might find more success in focusing our efforts toward helping our students understand themselves a little better, and develop biblical "survival skills". Perhaps. But today, I'm reminded that behaviors like this are a part of the human condition. Mine, yours and the junior highers we lead.

- This weekend, for the first time ever, I am teaching on the End Times…sorta. It is the last part of our "Beginning and End" series and I am giving a very broad overview of what "the end" holds for us. Here are my main points:
1) Jesus will come back someday
2) The world as we know it will come to an end someday
3) But the end is really just a new beginning
When and How will this all happen? In God's time and in God's way!
- Today is my 45th birthday. For some reason, I have always had a tough time with the "5′s" (25, 35 and now…45) because it forces me to realize that technically I now have to "round up" instead of rounding down. Ouch.
- I am toying with the idea of changing our purpose statement to be a more accurate description of why our ministry exists and our current Purpose-driven paradigm. I actually like what I have landed on so far and should be ready to reveal it sometime soon.
- My tweet earlier today: "JH Ministry Tip: treat parents like students by going to them instead of expecting them to come to you.", has resulted in a few emails asking me, "Okay…but how?" To be honest…I'm not sure! This tweet was the result of our poorly attended parent meeting which has got me wondering if we need to change our strategy and become more relationally proactive with parents. Not sure what that looks like, exactly. If you have had success please share your insights in the comments!
I was reading an article called Bullying & Blessings by Shawn Michael Shoup on the Youth Specialties web site and this statement stood out to me, "it is our privilege and calling to bless where others have cursed." In Cameron Lee's book "Unexpected Blessing" there is a lot of that kind of thought about blessing others & receiving blessings back. I had a very hard time taking away only two keys thoughts (which is something I make myself to on a book review) from the book because there is so many. But I did narrow it down two these two thoughts that I think would motivate me to read it again.
In chapter six, "Mercy versus the rationalizations of self-interest" Cameron says a very convicting statement that I think summarizes one of the key ideas for the book, "if we are to purse purity of heart, we must honestly admit that we hunger for so many other things besides God." In my life as a middle school guy I often think how much nicer it would be to have the next best thing – to minister to the kids of course – that I lose focus of just that — ministering to the kids. In the first chapter Cameron hits on this hard by saying, "Our gratitude for what we already have becomes dulled by the knowledge of what we could have." I need to constantly praise my heavenly Father for how well He takes care of me and take my focus off of the stuff I have.
Unexpected blessings come when one decides to put oneself aside and focus on God. Cameron quotes a wonderful thought from Frederick Buechner, "compassionate love begins to change from a moral exercise, from a matter of gritting our teeth and doing our good deed for the day, into a joyous, spontaneous, self-forgetting response to the most real aspect of all reality." Some times when I don't feel close to God I still choice to worship him and spend time in his Word. The thoughts from Cameron Lee in his book really helped me realize the importance of not stopping.
I believe God has so much more for everyone but we get so caught up in ourselves & our stuff that we miss the blessings God has for us. "Blessed are those who heed everything the Beatitudes teach and are persecuted for it, not because it is somehow blessed in itself to suffer persecution but simply because the Beatitudes point the way to the kind of life that God blesses." This is a great read for anyone in middles school ministry and I would recommend it.

If you're like me, you spend a fair bit of time thinking about how we'll help students engage with the Bible when they're "at' our ministry…
But lately I've also been thinking a lot about what I'm hoping they'll do with the Bible the rest of the week.
This school year, we've been passing out a simple card each week when we teach. It has scripture for the week on, and a couple of places where students sometimes "fill in" a word or 2 about the lesson. (or doodle… or play tic-tac-toe…or create origami of flamingoes & hummingbirds & dinosaurs)
But every week, I encourage students to Read More in their own Bible about the topic we covered. (or any topic, for that matter!) Of course, we want to catalyze a habit of reading Scripture for themselves — and middle school is a great time for that habit to start.
So I'm wondering … in the world of middle schoolers…what's my HOPE for how often they'll read the Bible for themselves?! Of course I know that there's no "right answer" to this question. In a perfect world, I'd love to see every middle schooler open Scripture for themselves every day, and learn from God's Words. But honestly, if I could get most of our kids to read the Bible once a week, I'd probably do a back flip.
Is anybody out there wiling to comment — How often do you HOPE your students are reading the Bible on their own??

Culture in Ramsar COP10
During the Tenth meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties of the Convention on Wetlands, held in Changwon on 28 October to 4 November 2008, the South Korean Authorities made great efforts to promote the cultural values of the country and of its wetlands. This was effectively achieved through exhibitions and performances that presented a broad variety of Korean traditional and contemporary arts.
Of particular significance was the inauguration by the Mayor of the city and the Ramsar Secretary General of the Changwon Ramsar Culture Centre at the Junam wetland, devoted to the cultural aspects of wetlands in Korea and internationally.
On 3 November, Wetlands International - Japan brought together in a workshop experts from the region who presented case studies of culture in Asian wetlands from Japan, Malaysia, Nepal and South Korea.
The next day, the Ramsar Culture Working Group organised a meeting on 'Culture and wetlands: Progress and Guidance'. During the meeting, Ramsar Award winner Sansanee Choowaew presented the work done in this field in Asia, while Thymio Papayannis did the same for the Mediterranean, with reference to the recent publication Action for culture in Mediterranean wetlands. Dave Pritchard, also a Ramsar award winner, introduced the CD-ROM publication 'Culture and wetlands: A Ramsar guidance document', produced by the Ramsar Culture Working Group, after a broad consultation. Finally Professor Koichi Sasagawa referred to the conclusions of the Asian workshop. This was followed by a substantive discussion.
Among the interesting contributions was the clarification made by Ecuador's Sergio Lasso on the difference between the cultural aspects of wetlands and their cultural values, which concern only those aspects that are compatible with the wise use of wetlands.
According to a decision of the Standing Committee, the Ramsar Culture Working Group – with renewed membership – will continue during 2009-2012 to facilitate the incorporation of cultural values in the work of the Convention.
-- Thymio Papayannis

commented on GTA 5 releases, a wild Jack Thompson appears: 'Gamers addiction has made them retarded'
Lance, while your attempts to engage Mr. Thompson in a meaningful dialogue are admirable, I'm sure you're quickly learning that it's like arguing with a brick wall. He's admitted here himself he has no desire to do such a thing; something I and other longtime readers at GamePolitics know only too well. The man is a fanatic, cut from the same cloth as the mom from "Carrie" and Fred Phelps (another disbarred attorney-cum-religious nut who lost his license over unethical practices). And like Phelps, his whole modus operandi is to say outrageous things in hopes of provoking people into taking a shot at him, thus validating his own extremist views. The best thing to do with Thompson is to simply ignore him. Don't read his emails. At all. Delete them as soon as you get them. Be glad at least you don't have a fax machine. He's destoryed entire forests with the paper he's wasted on them. Let him fade away into obscurity and be the footnote in the culture wars that he deserves to be. As much as wants to think that he is still relevant despite having lost his license, he's now just the old man shouting from the porch to tell those damn kids to get off his lawn. Just leave him be.

Jack Thompson said:You are right. I am not going to debate you. Been there done that on about 200 national shows, and I believe, according to independent sources, I...You may have "won" those debates, Jack (and that's highly disputable), but in the long-run, we "won" the culture war against your kind. Go ahead and insult us and tell us how we're "spiritually dead" all you want. You're irrelevant now. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of video games in Brown Vs. EMA. That must really stick in your craw I'll bet.

Nothing to see here. He's been on this guy's radio show before. Kind of sad and pathetic that some no-name personality in Tulsa is the only person who will have him (if for no other reason that he's just as staunchly right-wing), when before he was on every major news outlet. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Must really bother him that he can't command even half the media attention he used to, and the he has to contend himself with harassing a website. Once he got discredited and disbarred, the major media outlets didn't even want to touch him. Nowadays the only people who'll listen to him are like-minded right-wing nutjobs like himself.

We got the little house with the back yard and we fenced it in as soon as we could manage it. So we had about a half acre in the back where the girls and their puppies could run around and play. It was not long before they wanted a little play house back there. Of course they wanted a fairy tale castle, but I figured that they would settle for a little storage building if I added some plantation shutters and that sort of thing to make it look nice. That is the idea I have. Of course I was thinking that I could probably find some retired carpenter or an out of work home builder to do it for me, but after I looked around for a little while I found this building which was for sale.

Washington, D.C. November 4, 2011 –
From Hurricane Irene to wildfires in Texas, communities across the country braced for a multitude of extreme weather events this year that displaced countless residents and injured or even killed others as a result. These and other natural disasters underscore the importance of being prepared.
Setting your clocks back on Sunday, Nov. 6, for the end of daylight saving time, provides an extra hour to prepare you and your family for unexpected emergencies by replenishing emergency stockpiles with essential supplies such as canned goods, batteries and bottled water.
In the event a disaster or emergency strikes your community, there may be limited or no access to food, water and electricity for several days. The best way to ensure the safety of you and your family and your community is to check and replenish your stockpile with essential medical and food supplies so that you will be prepared for any unexpected event you may face.
"Though we can't predict when or where disaster will strike, there are simple proactive steps each of us can take now to mitigate the impact and keep ourselves, our families and our communities safe," said Alan Baker, MA, interim executive director of APHA. "If you don't have an emergency stockpile at home or work, today is the perfect opportunity to create one. If you already have a stockpile, it's important to replenish it."
APHA has created a list of important tips to help prepare your stockpile:
APHA's reminder to check you emergency supplies is part of "Get Ready: Set Your Clocks, Check Your Stocks," the Association's biannual campaign to raise awareness of the importance of having a stocked emergency preparedness kit complete with food, first aid supplies as well as food for your pets. APHA also encourages you to support your local food bank by dropping off canned food.
More in-depth information and resources, including free fact sheets on what to include in your emergency stockpile, budget stockpiling and flu stockpiles and more, are available here.
Founded in 1872, the APHA is the oldest and most diverse organization of public health professionals in the world. The association aims to protect all Americans and their communities from preventable, serious health threats and strives to assure community-based health promotion and disease prevention activities and preventive health services are universally accessible in the United States. APHA represents a broad array of health providers, educators, environmentalists, policy-makers and health officials at all levels working both within and outside governmental organizations and educational institutions.
