Objective: The study aim was to determine if a community-based psychiatric rehabilitation program with intensive case management was more effective than traditional outpatient services in reducing bospitalization of chronic schizophrenic patients. Methods: One hundred twelve schizophrenic patients enrolled in the intensive case management program were matched by age, number of previous hospitalizations, and days spent in the hospital with 112 schizophrenic patients who received medication services and minimal case management. The two groups were compared on the amount of services used and the number of hospitalizations and hospital days over a 24-month study period. Results: Patients in the intensive case management program bad been enrolled for a mean of 10.96 months, with a range from one to 24 months. They used significantly more mental health services during the study period compared with the patients in the controlgroup. However, no significant differences were found between the two groups in number of hospitalizations and hospital days. Both groups showed an increase in the number of hospitalizations over the study period. Conclusions: A community-based psychiatric rehabilitation program with intensive case management was no more effective than medication services and minimal case management in reducing hospitalization among chronic schizophrenic patients.

Rupert Sheldrake's TEDx talk: Detailing the issues
There's been a lot of heat today about Rupert Sheldrake's TEDx Talk. And in the spirit of radical openness, I'd like to bring the community into our process.
While TED does not vet speakers at independent TEDx events, a TEDx talk can be removed from the TEDx archive if the ideas contained in it are wrong to the point of being unscientific, and that includes misrepresenting the scientific process itself.
Sheldrake is on that line, to some commenters around Twitter and the web. His talk describes a vision of science made up of hard, unexamined constants. It's a philosophical talk that raises general questions about how we view science, and what role we expect it to play.
When my team and I debate whether to take action on a TEDx talk, we think deeply about the implications of our decision -- and aim to provide the TEDx host with as clear-cut and unbiased a view as possible.
You are invited, if you like, to weigh in today and tomorrow with your thoughts on this talk. We'll be gathering the commentary into a couple of categories for discussion:
1. Philosophy. Is the basis of his argument sound -- does science really operate the way Sheldrake suggests it does? Are his conclusions drawn from factual premises?
2. Factual error. (As an example, Sheldrake says that governments do not fund research into complementary medicine. Here are the US figures on NIH investment in complementary and alternative medicine 2009-2010: http://nccam.nih.gov/about/budget/institute-center.htm )
As a note: Please know that whether or not you have time or energy to contribute here, the talk is also under review by the TED team. We're not requiring your volunteer labor -- but we truly welcome your input. And we're grateful to those who've written about this talk in other forums, including but not limited to Jerry Coyne, PZ Myers, Kylie Sturgess and some thoughtful Redditors.

Mar 7 2013: Rupert Sheldrake questions the fundamentals of what is considered to be a scientific fact, which can be an assumption, based on previously achieved assumptions. What's wrong with this ? Science is the only explanatory system that has a mechanism inbuilt in it to prove that it was wrong . Otherwise science is a record of dead religions.
Rupert Sheldrake's vision of nature as alive, and a new understanding of the soul of the world fits ( in my understanding ) to the quantum description of the world, holographic principle, fractal geometry, the theory of chaos...and maybe many other things. His "Things are as they are because they were as they were " is a breakthrough, despite all his critics' claims to the contrary ! His theory of morphogenetic fields is scientific but belongs to the science that will and should be.
Maybe he will live as many of the greats do, spending their lives trying to explain the implications of their experiments and theories yet ridiculed by their colleagues in the field, but when science finally catches up he will be acknowledged as a great.
Filippo SalustriMar 7 2013: And yet there is (a) no evidence for his position, (b) very substantial evidence against his position, and (c) he presents no cogent argument as to *why* his ideas are better than the current body of knowledge. This makes his positions untenable.
His critics do not merely "claim to the contrary" - they argue rationally and present valid, reproducible evidence to the contrary. Indeed, it is Sheldrake himself who *only* claims to the contrary.
Mar 7 2013: Who is right/wrong is not the point. The different opinion should be heard. Ideas should compete fairly.
Maybe you know that the theory of evolution for the first 2/3 decades was called the Darwin/ Wallace theory of evolution. But soon the name of Russel Wallace was forgotten. What he pointed to and what was largely overlooked was the idea of ' field '
Here is the passage of Wallace's famous 1858 paper:
"The action of this principle is exactly like that of the centrifugal governor of the steam engine, which checks and corrects any irregularities almost before they become evident; and in like manner no unbalanced deficiency in the animal kingdom can ever reach any conspicuous magnitude, because it would make itself felt at the very first step, by rendering existence difficult and extinction almost sure soon to follow."
Here is the the connection between natural selection and R Sh's morphogenetic field. "Things are as they are because they were as they were " Now some scientists explore the connection between natural selection in Wallace's interpretation and systems theory.
Re : *why* his ideas are better than the current body of knowledge.
Because, having Rupert Sheldrake's ideas in mind it's possible to make sense of the Universe we inhabit.
Thanks for responding !
Mar 7 2013: This is not a question of "opinion" - it is a matter of evidence and critical thinking. Sheldrake fails on all counts.
Evolution has grown tremendously since Darwin and Wallace first worked on it. Talking about evolution in terms of Darwin & Wallace's version is rather like talking about medicine as if we'd not discovered germs.
Sheldrake's ideas "make sense"? No, that's the point. They don't make sense, of the universe or anything else.
Mar 7 2013: Nathan,
accepting a radical new belief system almost always requires the release or loosening of a previous belief system.
What you think you know is your coherent belief system, that doesn't allow you to believe in anything else.
I have no chance to succeed :)
Best to you !
Filippo Salustri , sorry for using your reply button.
Mar 7 2013: Where do facts come from? Science? Religion? Science is theory, which can never be indisputably. Oh wait no thats wrong science purest belief is that is can be disputable. Other wise we wouldn't be having this debate. Why is there more then one definition of what a fact is if it is indisputable?
Mar 7 2013: Filippo and Nathan ,
I would recommend you to listen to this talk
Enjoy !
Mar 7 2013: A fact is "A thing that is indisputably the case."
Alternatively, for a longer definition, see http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/fact or any other dictionary.
Mar 7 2013: Where do facts come from? Science? Religion?
From left cerebral hemisphere :) Which is mainly responsible for creating belief system, be it religious or scientific.
The right brain hemisphere is always challenging the status quo, but if beliefs are too strong , it may not succeed.
That is the core of the problem. A scientific fact/theory can be disputable and should, but it's not easy to part with the comfort of the illusion of understanding ! :)

[H]ave you not at least read or been briefed on the terrible costs of that ill-advised and seemingly endless American war in tiny Vietnam? [...] Do you know this recent history in which 58,000 young Americans died in the process of killing 2 million Vietnamese men, women and children? If you do not know about this terrible blunder in Vietnam, are you not ignoring the conclusion of one of our great philosophers: "Those who are ignorant of history are condemned to repeat it."I have a pet theory that Bush started our current war (or at least eagerly agreed with the plans laid out by his masters in Bushco) in no small part because of deep-seated shame over his conduct in the TANG during the Vietnam war. He's not merely a chickenshit rich kid who failed upward his whole life; he is an outright deserter from military service. Our current quagmire is really a product of one little man's desperate attempt to undo his past and regain his manhood. So, no, Bush doesn't no anything of the history and lessons of the Vietnam war. All he knows is that he's a struttin' "war president" who loves, and in turn is loved by, the enormous, rapacious US war machine. And that's how he sleeps at night.

Nestled in downtown Decatur, Marko's on 2nd is everything a small-town restaurant should be.
It resides in a beautifully rustic, 100-plus-year-old building with eye-catching quirks, and it is the kind of place where seemingly everyone knows one another.
One night, it was a pair of local farmers discussing their trade. On another, it was the athletic director from an area high school celebrating a birthday and making the rounds to talk with friends.
It is a family business, too. Decatur native Mark Graves is the head chef and owns and operates the restaurant with his parents, John and Cathee Graves, and his sister, Kimberlee Hurst. A tip in case his mom is behind the bar; I hear she makes a killer bloody mary. And Hurst, who handles pastry chef duties while also occasionally waiting tables, makes a killer pecan pie.
But don't assume Marko's is the typical run-of-the-mill, small-town diner.
Marko's is one of, if not the, finest eateries in northeast Indiana with one of, if not the, most talented chefs in the area.
Graves was classically trained at Johnson & Wales in Charleston, S.C., and earned his chops in New Orleans at the legendary Brennan's before returning to Charleston for stints at Magnolias, Cypress Grille and Blossom under renowned chef Donald Barickman.
And now he creates down-home Southern fare with just the right amount of whimsy to make it true haute cuisine.
A prime example was his Lowcountry shrimp and grits. Plump, sweet jumbo shrimp were nestled in a circle atop creamy, rich, perfectly executed Anson Mills grits. Slices of sweet Italian sausage sat inside the shrimp circle and it was covered with tasso ham gravy. The ham, a Cajun specialty, adds just the right spice to counteract the sweet shrimp and sausage, and the grits are simply heavenly.
It doesn't get more Southern than pulled pork, so of course the barbecued sliders were winners. With blue cheese slaw, yellow cheddar and an herb aioli joining the pork soaked with the spicy-sweet house chipotle barbecue sauce, these weren't just simple sliders.
But one shouldn't conclude Marko's only offers Southern fare. Graves does quite well when breaking from his chef roots.
His brilliant Spicy Tuna Tar Tar was Asian all the way. Its pristine diced tuna was dressed with a reduction of shitake mushrooms, soy and a little brown sugar that created a strong umami flavor with a sweet finish. Served over black sesame sticky rice, it had some heat from a little wasabi mustard and crunch from fried won ton wraps that were dusted with zesty Chinese five-spice.
His lobster salad was also in no way Southern. Chopped Maine lobster knuckles and an entire claw sat atop fresh arugula heavily dressed with smoky citrus buttermilk dressing that was creamy (buttermilk), tangy (citrus) and smoky. It was perfect with the peppery greens and sweet lobster.
The only bad thing about the lobster salad was that it was an off-menu weekly special that will never be available again. During the restaurant's seven-year run, Graves has never repeated a special. Blame it on the chef's ego or just chalk it up to him striving to keep things fresh, but it often makes a visit bittersweet.
I loved the applewood smoked bacon-wrapped mahi-mahi – probably the best piece of mahi I have ever had – but it was a special so I won't have it again. The bacon fat that rendered into that fish turned what is usually a firm and meaty fish into something moist and succulent.
Tilapia is always on the menu and it, too, impressed. It was pan-seared and is usually served with Parmesan risotto, sautéed spinach, demi-glace and herbed creamy crabmeat. But I followed the advice of Ike and Susan Mendez – Decatur residents and semi-regulars at Marko's who, of course, knew about everyone there – and asked for wasabi mashed potatoes instead.
The fish was perfectly prepared, the spinach was also nice, but the creamy, velvety mashed potatoes with that wasabi zip really shined.
I thought the demi-glace was forced into the dish, which really didn't need a sauce given the moisture coming from the spinach and the creamy crab, also a fine accompaniment.
For dessert, the molten chocolate cherry cake is a staple at Marko's and it is also made by Hurst. It is sinfully decadent with macerated cherries on top and that oozing melted chocolate center. But the dessert I liked almost as much was the raspberry tart.
A flaky delicious crust was filled with a bright pink whipped mixture that sort of reminded me of those bad marshmallow Jell-O salads an aunt would bring to the family reunion – but in a good way. The filling was surprisingly tart, but the addition of beautiful candied rose petals on top added just the right sugary sweetness and rounded out the dessert beautifully.
But it, too, was a special around Valentine's Day, so I'm unsure whether it will come back. But maybe Hurst isn't as strict about her specials as her brother is, so we can hope.
I hope I get a chance to eat at Marko's on 2nd again soon. It was the first five-star review I had ever written nearly seven years ago and it hasn't slipped a bit since.
It has only gotten better.

New Method of Attaching a Battery to the Hearing Instruments
Idea: Amit Vaze, US-Piscataway, New York; James Edward DeFinis, US-Piscataway, New York;
Lavlesh Lamba, US-Piscataway, New York; Ireneusz Rybark, US-Piscataway, New York
Current hearing aid devices have battery doors with small-scale hinges. A popular configuration contains an arc shaped battery door that opens lengthwise in a swinging action. The door itself retains the battery within the device. When opening the battery compartment, the initial pull on the battery door is a linear action on the part of the user. This action imposes an inadvertent sheering force on the fragile door hinge and additionally the insertion of a battery into the door may impose inadvertent torque on the door hinge in an axis parallel to the hinge.
An older method uses a cylindrical well within the hearing device. The battery is inserted into the well and the battery door swings down over the compartment. This configuration can eliminate the torque on the battery door hinge with the insertion of the battery, but does not eliminate the sheer forces imposed when opening the door. This configuration is not popular today because the cylindrical well, in which the battery is seated, requires more surface area on the device.
Hence, the conventional battery door of a hearing instrument is the weakest component in the assembly. Most of the hearing aid users are seniors with degraded eye sight and motor control. These factors can make it challenging to articulate the "swing-out" operation of the battery door. This may cause the user to inadvertently apply stresses and torque to the assembly causing it to fail. Because when the hinge mechanism fails on a hearing device, the product must be returned to the manufacturer for repairing or replacement. This involves at minimum hearing aid disassembly and door replacement. It can require a shell replacement that in case of ITE (In The Ear) hearing aids means faceplate replacement.
The novel concept of the following solution is a method that simplifies the retention of the battery within a hearing instrument with the use of a slot configuration that eliminates the need for the conventional "swing-out" battery door. The device's battery is inserted into the battery slot lengthwise. Once inserted, the battery is locked into place and makes contact with the contact plates. This concept discusses the use of five possible methods how the battery slot can be configured on the instrument to retain the battery and avoid the use of the conventional battery door. The images depict the concept on a BTE instrument but it is not limited to this instrument type (see Figures 1 to 5).
Figure 1 shows a battery slot with a sliding battery door. An arc shape in the battery door allows it to conform to the interior of the device as it is slid open to receive the battery. The hinge-less design slides lengthwise to cover or expose the battery slot and allows the insertion of the ba...
We thank you for your patience and apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.

Why is life so complicated?
First of all, I want to say thank you for even taking the time to read this! My name is Fonkou, I am 16, currently a high school junior! My question is, why is life so complicated? My dream in life is to be a talk show host, or a well known motivational speaker. But there is really no specific path that will lead me to that. If someone wants to be a doctor, they can just go to medical school, earn a degree and woohoo! That's not the case in the things I want to do. I am not good at math and science, I have no interest in them whatsoever. I want to major in communication when I get to college, but I have websites, my parents, friends telling me that a degree in communications will get me absolutely no where. I just feel like a total failure right now. I feel like I have nothing going on for me. I wish I loved chemistry and math. My father wants me to do something in the medical field, because of the job stability but I don't want to, cause I know I won't enjoy it, and I don't won't to spend my life doing something that I dread doing. To sum this up, I have an idea of who I want to be. I don't want a mansion, three cars, millions in my bank account, I wouldn't mind having those things though! But I know those are not the things that will fulfill me. When I close my eyes, I see a nice house, with my partner, beautiful kids. Me on my own talk show, or me giving a speech in front of hundreds of people, helping people as much as I can, and doing everything that I want will bring joy into my life. I feel like everyone else got a life's instruction manual and I somehow didn't get one. Any advice would truly help. I respect everyone in the Ted community, its filled with amazing, intelligent people. Thank you so much.

Mario Cipollini's infamous muscle skin suit worn during the Tour.
What is the effect of the outlandish clothing seen in various sports? When taken out of context much of it would look absurd, however there is some positive psychological effect that it has on the athletes.
Maybe by helping placing them in the right mindset, possibly the outfit looks fast?
Maybe at a certain point somehow increasing an athletes confidence is more beneficial than physically improving the performance of a garment or component.

Ford is being coy concerning energy levels, decreasing to offer specific numbers for any of the three. The 5.0-liter V-8 is expected to make at the very least 420 horsepower and 396 lb-ft of torque, but don't be shocked if Ford announces bigger numbers before the auto goes on sale.
A choice of manual or automatic transmission will certainly be supplied no matter engine variety. The six-speed Getrag handbook has actually a revamped affiliation, although we're even more excited that Ford has actually relocated the mug owners off the beaten track of the stick. The six-speed automated achieves paddle shifters, and Ford claims that now operates with decreased friction. Launch control is conventional on the Mustang GT.

Distributive Justice and Bargaining Solutions
AbstractSuppes-Sen Dominance is a commonly accepted criterion of impartiality in distributive justice. Mariotti (1999) characterized the Nash bargaining solution using Nash (1950).s Scale Invariance (SI) axiom and an axiom named Suppes-Sen Proofness (SSP) that embodies the Suppes-Sen principle. By adding a relative equity component to SSP, we first consider a stronger version of it, the Strong Suppes-Sen Proofness (SSSP) property. It turns out that the Egalitarian solution is the unique solution satisfying SSSP. We then consider two weaker versions of SSP, namely WSSP and alpha~WSSP. Yet, it is still possible to characterize the Nash solution by using WSSP and SI only. alpha~WSSP is much weaker than Weak Pareto Optimality (WPO) when alpha= 1. It turns out that it is possible to characterize the Nash solution by using Individual Rationality (IR), SI and alpha~WSSP for any alpha between [01).

"In this day and age of energy bars, protein powders and weight gain shakes, many athletes forget about "real" foods, such as peanut butter. Peanut butter, in my opinion, is one of the best sports foods around. It's tasty, inexpensive, satisfying, nourishing—and even good for our health.
But all too often, I hear athletes say "I don't keep peanut butter in my house. It's too fatty, too fattening." or "I ration peanut butter to once per week—on my Sunday morning bagel." They try to stay away from peanut butter. That's just nuts!
Yes, peanut butter is calorie-dense. But it can beneficially fit into your sports diet. The following information explains why I vote peanut butter (and all nuts and nut butters, for that matter) to be a super sports food for athletes who want to eat well and invest in their health."
I eat PB almost every day, especially when I'm going for a run. It's the first thing I do when I come home from work.
In the UK I use Morrison's Whole Nute Peanut Butter.. It's only £1.34 for a good sized jar and it tastes a lot better than Tesco, Sainsbury's and Waitrose. It's funny how a slight variation in the tiny amount of oils used makes so much of a difference.

Good Questions: Tubed Steel Chair Legs?
Dear AT,
Does anyone know where I might get the "legs" shown on this DWR chair? I have a very similar chair with wooden legs that I want to replace with tubed steel. It need not glide like the DWR chair does -- mainly I am looking for the shape and height. Thanks for your help!
Readers, any advice for Erin on replacing her chair's legs??
5 Comments
First thing that popped into my mind... EQ3 has similar legs on the section chairs of their Replay Collection.
If you take it to an upholsterer, they should be able to switch out your legs. I'm afraid that pieces like the tubes you are looking for (correct dimensions, function, stability) would only be available to the trade.
maybe ask dwr who the manufacturer is and contact them directly? i actually have the chair at home (in the taupe upholstery) and will try looking this evening...
If the manufacturer never made the chair with metal legs then your best option is to go custom. A local metal fabricator should be able to make legs to your exact specification fairly quickly. Call a couple local welding shops and see what they can do.
I bought a circa 1930's psychiatrist bench and re-upholstered it myself. I wanted to find more modern legs for it. I did online searches until i finally found Chrome legs available on ebay. I've found quite a few resources. Ferroushardware.com produces furniture hardware. you may wanna contact them and see if it's something they can make for you.

I'm just mental about fundamentals
If you watched so much as a single Cubs game in person or on TV last year, then you probably witnessed some bad baseball, even if the Cubs won. You probably saw Moises Alou get picked off at first, or caught in a run down. Or, maybe you saw one of the many bad throws from the pitcher to first base. Or perhaps someone failed to tag up when they should have. Or an outfielder threw to the wrong player or base.
The point is, Dusty had a credo last season, which was "let men be men." This meant that he had a team of good, solid, veteran players. They didn't need to relearn the basics during Spring Training, they already knew them. They didn't need some jackass coach telling them where to throw the ball, or how to run. As a consequence, the Cubs were the most fundamentally unsound team in all of baseball last year. I'm not just saying that. A lot of scouts said the same thing.
This year, the team went back to basics. At least, that's what they told us during Spring Training. They relearned how to run, throw, catch, and slide. Or so they claim.
Sure, Corey Patterson had a HELL of a game yesterday. He's a great defender, and aught to win a Gold Glove sometime in his career. But Aramis Ramirez has reverted. Every throw to first is an adventure, and Derrek Lee has already had to grab a handful of throws from out of the dirt. And, although I might be wrong, I'm pretty sure the Cubs lost at least two base runners in the Red series. Really, correct me if I'm mistaken (because I'm going from memory), but I believe Jeromy Burnitz was caught between bases two days ago, and didn't the same thing happen to someone yesterday, as well?
If this team is supposed to be fundamentally sound, they need to show it more than they have. Because so far, 2005 just looks like a big reprise of 2004, and I don't think anyone wants that. It might be just enough to drive a guy mental.
I don't know about Monday, but on Tuesday I was at the game. Burnitz led off the top of the ninth with a double, and then Corey Patterson came to bat. He hit a tapper back to the pitcher who turned around and got Burnitz in a run-down between second and third.
At the time, (probably because the Cubs were up 7-1) I didn't feel that Burnitz had done a bad job, I thought he had just been unfortunate. He had taken a large secondary lead, and the pitcher got the ball very quickly.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Hours after their plane crashed on a steep and snowy mountainside in Idaho, a California fireman, his wife and their adult daughter were airlifted to safety by National Guard rescuers.
The family was en route from California to Mountain Home, Idaho, when their Cessna 172 went down at about 9 p.m. MDT Saturday, leaving them with head and back injuries, officials said.
One of the three used a cellphone just after midnight to report that they had survived the crash.
A medical helicopter located the wreckage Sunday morning, but white-out conditions prevented the aircraft crew from carrying out an immediate rescue, said Col. Tim Marsano of the Idaho National Guard.
Rescuers on foot traveling through 6-foot snow drifts and on 60 degree slopes reached the crash site first. They wrapped the family members in blankets and built a fire until a military helicopter could lift them out with a hoist.
"It was inhospitable for a landing," Marsano said. "The use of the helicopter was indispensable for this type of rescue operation."
The three were flown one at a time to a landing area about a half-mile from War Eagle Mountain in southwest Idaho's Owyhee County.
The first person came out about noon and the last at about 2 p.m., and each was transferred to a medical helicopter and flown to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise where they were listed in stable condition.
It's unclear what caused the Cessna to go down. Photos taken by rescuers showed significant damage, including a broken front windshield.
Authorities identified them as Brian Brown of Wilton, Calif., his wife Jayann Brown, and their daughter. Her name was not immediately available.
Brian Brown is a captain at the Cosumnes Community Services District Fire Department in Elk Grove, Calif. He is also Deputy Chief of Operation and Training with the nearby volunteer Wilton Fire Protection District.
Wilton Fire Chief Tom Dark said the couple was flying with their youngest daughter to Mountain Home to visit their oldest daughter. He was relieved they were in stable condition.
"That was our first concern, how he and the family were doing," said Dark. "Knowing what a good pilot he is, something had to have happened."
Dark said it was probably an unusual experience for Brown, a firefighter for more than two decades, to be on the other end of a rescue.
"When the shoe is on the other foot it's kind of strange," he said.

Hi. My name is Rick Weiland and I approve this message because I think shutting down the government is a terrible idea and believe it or not, I'm the only Senate candidate who thinks that way.
Mike Rounds and the rest all say they would have voted with Senator Ted Cruz to shut us down. They apparently think it's some kind of game.
Well Western South Dakota doesn't think so and I don't either.
Ranchers who have lost their herds have no place to turn. School kids are shut out of Head Start. And every family in America risks loss of their savings when political stunts like this threaten government default.
That's why I pledged I will never vote to shut down our government because I don't get my way on some other issue.
Please join me in respectfully requesting that Mike Rounds, and every other candidate for Federal office, pledge never to play this game again.

Make them earn their paychecks so we can keep earning ours.

Stand in Solidarity for Iraqi Christians
Saturday 26-July-2014
The Iraqi Christian community in the United Kingdom and their churches are organising a solidarity stand for the victimised Iraqi Christians in London on Saturday 26-July-2014 with the support of many Eastern and Western Churches and various Christian organisations and charities in the United Kingdom.
The assembly will start at 11:30 near Parliament Square.
Then the demonstrators will move from the assembly point to stand in solidarity outside the Parliament building for a period of time followed by a march towards 10 Downing Street.
We look forward to your participation to illustrate your solidarity with the displaced and suffering Christians of Mosul and Iraq.
Please pass this on to as many people you know as possible.
The event will be covered by the media
We will update with additional email(s) if there are changes.
Many thanks.

Noted Convert in Egypt, Released in Appeal, Quickly Imprisoned Again Mohammed Hegazy, now called Bishoy Armia Boulous, faces 2009 charges.
By Our Middle East Correspondent
ISTANBUL, Turkey, July 23, 2014 (Morning Star News) –
A noted convert in Egypt released on bail this week for the appeal of his disputed conviction for "inciting sectarian violence" was quickly imprisoned again on equally controversial charges from 2009 of "defaming Islam," his attorney said.
Local security officials on Monday (July 21) turned Bishoy Armia Boulous, previously known as Mohammed Hegazy, over to the Ministry of Interior to face the blasphemy charges filed five years ago.
In 2009 two lawyers supported by a group of Islamists charged him with defaming Islam after he filed what became a very public lawsuit to force the Egyptian government's Ministry of Interior to change the religious affiliation listed on his state-mandated national identification card from Muslim to Christian.
Trojan Horse Report Finds 'Determined Effort' To Implement Radical Islam In School
A report into the so-called Trojan Horse plot to takeover schools in Birmingham has found a "determined effort" to implement radical Islam. The comments came from the newly appointed Education Secretary Nicky Morgan, who made a statement on the subject in the House of Commons today.
The review was ordered by the Morgan's predecessor Michael Gove, following reports that as many as twenty-five Birmingham schools had been the subject of takeovers. In each case, the governing bodies were infiltrated by radicals who then set about pushing out moderate teachers and implementing radical Islam.

Sudanese Authorities Demolish Another Church Building Advance notice came previous day -- during worship service.
By Our Sudan Correspondent
JUBA, South Sudan, June 30, 2014 (Morning Star News) –
Authorities in North Khartoum demolished another church building today, just a day after giving verbal notice during the congregation's worship service, sources said.
Bulldozers demolished the Sudanese Church of Christ in the Thiba Al Hamyida area of the city as church members watched, with security personnel threatening to arrest them if they tried to block their efforts, church members said.
There were about 70 security personnel armed with guns and tear gas, they said.
High-Profile Convert Jailed for 'Inciting Strife'
Pray that God will protect Mohammed,
as well as his wife and children.
Mohammed Hegazy, a well-known Christian campaigner for religious liberty, has been detained in Egypt for allegedly inciting "sectarian strife." Sources are concerned that the 31-year-old believer may be enduring torture in prison.
Mohammed (now widely known by his Christian name, Bishoy Armia Boulous), was arrested on the morning of December 4th at a café in Minya, Upper Egypt. Security forces claim he had been working for a Christian satellite TV channel and contributing to a "false image" that there is violence being perpetrated against Christians in Minya.

The 31-year-old Christian received the prison term and a fine of 500 Egyptian pounds (US$70) for what the judge called "disturbing the peace by broadcasting false information" after documenting political unrest in Egypt brought on by numerous Muslim extremist attacks on Christians, attorney Wagdy Halfa said.

Exploratorium Trains Polar Scientists To Tell Their Stories to the World
Live Webcasts & Dispatches Online: May 20, 2008
spent a week at the Exploratorium in San Francisco for a rigorous workshop on how to document and communicate their cutting-edge polar research for the public. When they return to the field this spring, the Arctic scientists will act as correspondents for the Exploratorium's Ice Stories website and live webcasts, beginning May 20, 2008. Although these researchers have no scripts, no professional film crews, and have never produced webcasts, they have learned to hold up a lens for the world to see their field studies, Arctic life, and even fellow company. The Exploratorium's media team, along with visiting experts from National Public Radio, PBS's NOVA and a science blogger, formerly with US News and the San Francisco Chronicle, trained the scientists in the fundamentals of new media production. Among the elements addressed were filming, video editing, narrative storytelling, blogging, and ethics in interviewing. The museum equipped them with high definition cameras, audio equipment and editing software -- all geared up and ready for the most extreme weather conditions. Dispatches from the newly minted correspondents will tap into the groundbreaking science and awesome beauty that so many will never know in person.
To see these completely original and rare Ice Stories go to www.exploratorium.edu/poles . You will see a glaciologist investigating how polar snow turns to ice, a paleontologist sampling algae lipids from the bottoms of Greenland lakes, and two archaeologists continuing their efforts to save an ancient Inupiat burial ground in Barrow, Alaska, before it erodes and is lost to the Atlantic Ocean. These researchers are driven to the most remote areas of the planet by their passion for science and exploration. From the far reaches of an Alaskan tundra fire to the icebreaker ships that conduct research around the poles, they will share their stories.
In addition to video dispatches, the Arctic correspondents will write back regularly through online Field Reports. Curious about what you're watching or about the research being conducted? Feel free to comment on their dispatches, and they will respond to viewer inquiries. Log on to www.exploratorium.edu/poles this Arctic summer and take part in celebrating the International Polar Year.

Pretty Little Things Bahrain is celebrating their four year anniversary this weekend. In case you're not familiar with the brand, PLT offers the latest accessory trends to Bahrain. When they first started, headbands were their prime accessory. They are now celebrating their anniversary by unveiling their latest headbands collection for the new season, the Floral Collection. As floral headbands have been making a comeback lately, made popular by the likes of Lana Del Ray, Pretty Little Things are jumping on the bandwagon of this beautiful trend. As soon as I saw these headbands, which by the way come in different flower sizes and colors, my heart leapt for the one I have on. Florals and pearls; you can't really go wrong with that. I paired it here with a flowy maxi dress welcoming warmer weather into our lives.

I don't usually mix bold prints together, so this look was a pretty daring one, for me at least. I love each of these prints individually. Love this floral print top with its lace trim, a combination of two things I appreciate. Of course I don't need to remind you of my love for all things leopard print. These pants are quite comfortable too. As the weather is starting to get hot, I prefer pants to jeans. There still is a cold breeze now and then, hence the confused choice of the cardigan on my shoulders. Some of you might hate this look and some might not, I guess it's just a matter of taste. My eldest brother, who hates prints, didn't like it. My mom, who is a fan of nature, replies, "It's a leopard walking in the jungle, what's not to like?" She gets it!

When I was in grade school, my mother put herself through nursing school. Her dream—once my sister and I were grown and fulfilling our own goals—was to become a healthcare traveler. At the time, while I wasn't sure I wanted to be a nurse, I remember thinking how neat it would be to visit new places and get paid for it.
Your recruiter is your best travel resource
Which setting do you think would be right for your next contract—a teaching institution, community medical center, rural hospital, Level I trauma center, or something else? In addition to charge responsibility, shifts, and hours, what are some of the other vital elements you must consider? At times, establishing which options are best for you may seem overwhelming, especially if you try to figure it out without the benefit of an expert.
The act of traveling sounds simple enough. But add a pet or two and it gets a little more complicated—and a bit more hairy.

Ray Allen commits to three-point shootout
Ray Allen has agreed to participate in this year's three-point shootout. (CSNNE)
Ray Allen has committed to participate in the Three-Point Shootout during NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles.
His teammate, Paul Pierce, is the defending champion. The league has yet to officially announce the contestants.
Earlier this week Pierce tweeted, "I think me and Ray Allen need to have a shootout in this years 3pt contest what y'all think come on NBA make it happen."
Although Pierce has not challenged Allen to the contest in person, Allen is more than ready.
"I'm up for any challenge. I'm always up for a challenge," he said, adding, "When would you think I'd ever back down to shooting?"
Allen said 'yes' while the Celtics were in Washington last month.
Since Pierce wants to be in the contest (and won last year, and is currently shooting 41.1% from beyond the arc this year), I assume he'll also participate. Watching two Celtics shoot trifectas should be quite enjoyable. But I doubt it'll be as enjoyable as this, which I've watched approximately 295,489 times in my life:
