Shedding Some Light on Twilight
- Monday, July 12, 2010
I would warn Bella against a spiritual mismatch. I would also warn her against the mismatch in their ages (he's 110, she's 17… really???!!!), their education (he's gone to school for decades, she isn't even finished high school), their cultural upbringing (He drinks blood, she doesn't. She eats food, he doesn't.), and their values (He is a vampire, after all. Even though he's "nice," he still engages in vampire-ish and occultist practices—just like "nice" white witches are still involved in witchcraft, and nice cocaine addicts still have an addiction to cocaine.).
A severe mismatch does not lend itself well to a good, lasting marriage. This is particularly the case when the mismatch is one of spiritual darkness versus light.
6. Neediness and Obsession
Bella is needy. She's obsessed with Edward. He is all she thinks about. When Edward breaks up with her, she sinks into a deep depression. She feels she can't live without him. The movie implies that she becomes suicidal. She throws herself off a cliff and tries to drown in order to connect with Edward. She cares about Edward more than she cares about her relationship with God, and more than she cares about her life. She's entirely willing to forfeit her soul for her need of Edward.
Edward is also needy. He stalks Bella and watches her continually. He even sneaks into her room and watches her while she sleeps. He shows up in her head in visions and speaks to her. (In my opinion, it's downright creepy.)
I would warn Bella against neediness. I'd tell her that if she feels so desperate for Edward that she can't live without him, then learning to live without him is the very thing she most needs to do. I would warn her not to rely on men for her sense of self-worth, identity, or happiness. I would tell her that the only one she truly needs is Jesus. And in order to have a healthy marriage, she needs to work on cultivating inner strength and wholeness, based on a personal relationship with Christ. A needy relationship is bad news. Needy women go through a revolving door of relationships, from one "Edward" to the next. I would want Bella to know that there is no man on the face of this earth that will meet the deep desires of her heart. Only Jesus can do that.
7. Rationalization and Justification
Another sign of a bad relationship is when a woman feels the need to rationalize and justify it. Bella rationalized being in a relationship with a vampire. She reasoned that since he was such a nice vampire, and was trying really hard to behave, and restrained his desire to bite and kill her, that somehow his niceness and self-control and love made their relationship okay. She rationalized the lies, deceit, and compromise by thinking that it was all for the greater good. She self-importantly thought that she was helping him. She was the only one who truly understood him and the only one who could give him the love he needed. She was the only one who completely accepted him and saw the good in him. She rationalized things so that she could convince herself that her bad boy wasn't really all that bad.
But a vampire is a vampire. Bella cannot give a vampire a soul and make him human. No amount of rationalization on her part can justify their relationship or the risk she is exposing herself to. A good relationship doesn't require rationalization and justification. It is self-evident that it is good.
8. Failure to Seek & Heed Input
Bella doesn't confide in her parents about the nature of her relationship with Edward. Nor does she seek counsel from any other friends or family. When her father tries to give her some advice, she shrugs it off as inconsequential. She knows better. No one else understands.
If Bella were my daughter, I'd notice these danger signs, and I'd warn her loudly and clearly about falling for a counterfeit version of true romance. I'd worry. I'd pray. I'd ask the Lord to break it up. Because although Edward is cute and seems so nice, he's undeniably dangerous.

Balanced…on a pine cone

An interesting sticker caught the eye while walking past
Niños incómodos exigen a candidatos | Compártelo #NiñosIncómodos (by mexicodelfuturo)
It's been an adventure the last few days for me personally. This page has had over 2.2 million visitors, and today I've turned down media requests from Al Jazeera English, FOX, NBC's Today show and BBC World Service. Why? Because my opinion isn't what's relevant. What's relevant is that …
This has been on millions of people's minds recently. Few of them are trying to weigh the pros and cons of this marketing campaign and the organization.
My problem is not with the spreading knowledge about Kony and such.
More knowledge can = Better.
My problem also isn't just about how invisible children is spending 32% of their funds on direct services. People say they are an advocacy organization and not there to provide direct services. Sure that's fine I suppose.
My problem is with this spreading narrative of how people in Uganda need the help of "awakened" affluent American college kids to whom all of this was "invisible". My problem is with how the bottom line has become "Only you (i.e. Americans) can change the world and create history". Who's history? History of Uganda in which the supposed "helpless" and "powerless" Ugandans have no role to play in what so ever?
My problem is with how people think that they can go in (literally and symbolically) into a totally different culture, without any prior experience, knowledge and understanding, and help "liberate" a people of this heinous person (which he is) and believe that everything else will fall in place. What about poverty? Malaria? Corruption? Gender equality? Discrimination based on sexual orientation? How is that solved? More importantly WHO solves that? How many solutions can we force down the throats of other people? My problem is the possibility of how millions of people are thinking that they can affect this whole situation without even including those being affected into the equation. How many times more can we NOT include and support the people being affected and trying to solve their problems themselves? Step one in any successful social change/community development project is listening directly from the affected - their problems, needs and the solutions they need. NOT what WE think they need.
Your numbers are wrong.
I'm talking about the amount of money that Invisible Children spends on active aid, as opposed to advocacy. I understand that their mission is primarily advocacy – my question is whether this is what's best at this part of the conflict.
They're working on the…
You must have heard of the viral video created by Invisible Children (IC), a U.S. organization that has launched a one-year campaign (expires December 31, 2012) to eliminate Joseph Kony, the head of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a rebel group in Northern Uganda that has been embroiled in…
BLUE blue
Just this past month NASA released another study asserting the human activities - and not changes in solar activity - is the primary cause of climate change.
In this blog post I wanted to explore to the connection between religion, colonialism, post-colonialism, liberalism and the spreading of the dominant discourse about the environment as brought forth by Worster, White, Orr and Manes in different ways. At the same time I wanted to offer both a positive and negative critique of the common counter-perspective amongst authors in regards to Christianity and its role in the dismissal of indigenous religions and the subsequent development of the current environmental perceptions of people.
First of all, I think it is important to explore whether we should even frame sustainability in terms of, "Sustainability is a meaningful goal". To me, sustainability is an over-arching philosophy/framework to living life. And many a times the vastness of this term can seem vague to many. But that is not necessarily the case. In some ways it is just like the concept of human rights. A lot of people could (and do) say that those are vague. But it doesn't stop us from trying to make sure that people around the globe enjoy rights that secure their lives and lifestyles. In reality concepts like human rights and sustainability provide a fluid framework of ideas and thoughts that can be molded according to place, belief system, culture and time period.
From the beginning we really wanted to make a strong and impactful piece. In order to make that possible we went back to the theory we learned in class and also our experiences – using lessons from documentaries we found particularly successful.
In order to give the documentary more legitimacy, instead of having ourselves provide all the information we decided to have all the information come from first-hand sources either collected by us or fashioned out of videos online.
The entire process for this project has been ever-changing and ever-evolving from moment we started! The inspiration for this project came from our mutual interest in story-telling and after our experience at the Halloween Storytelling concert at Spurlock Museum. The first rendition of the thesis for our project revolved around storytelling and its history which got modified to storytelling in Urbana-Champaign, which in turn was modified to a spotlight cover of a famous storyteller in the community. After all these renditions somehow we transitioned into Spoken Word (guided by Jenny – "You know what I really like? Spoken Word") and its usage to tell stories. We did a short discussion on what we all like about Spoken Word. The three main points that came up were – Its ability to tell stories, its usage as a vehicle to talk and spread awareness about various personal and socio-political issues and its power to form a strikingly emotional connection/bond between the artist and the audience. Hence, we decided to focus on these three main points in our documentary.

Vista Ultimate OEM upgrade to Windows 7
I have a Vista Ultimate OEM currently installed on a PC, I am getting another Windows 7 retail soon.
Can I use just the Windows 7 upgrade as opposed to a clean install?

Yes you can upgrade but only to the Ultimate edition of Windows 7, so make sure thats the one you get.

I would defenatly recommend a clean install with documents backed up, it will be faster and free up some space. You can upgrade but as Richc said the upgrade may be problematic or it will pass on some issues. Opt for clean install, just back up all important files and format HDD.
|My System Specs
|19 Sep 2010
You will be able to upgrade perfectly fine.
If you do not feel like going through the hassle of performing a clean install (regardless if its preferred or not) you should have little to no problems with an upgrade. Bear in mind that there IS a chance that you may have some problems.
Its not 100% certain you will though so I suggest trying an upgrade first and if you 'have' to then do a clean install.

Hello Fiery, welcome to Seven Forums!
Here is one of the better options, you can have a Windows 7 clean install and the Vista too.
Have a thorough look at this tutorial at the link below to see a way to create a partition ahead of the current Vista partition, so it will be extremely easy to move your data from Vista to the new Windows 7 partition and when the time comes to remove Vista this method makes that so much easier.
Be sure to post back with any questions you may have and to keep us updated.

Vista Ultimate to Win 7 Pro
I just finished making the move from Vista Ultimate to Win 7 Pro. You have to do a clean install and you have to re-install all the programs and drivers and etc. When you try to register Win 7 Pro you get an error message telling you "This specified product key can only be used for upgrading, not for clean installation." Just call MicroSoft @ 1-800-642-7676 and they will walk you through the product registration. It is so simple, I wish I wrote it down, it took about 10 minutes from me calling. Now I have a dual boot system of Vista Ult. and Win 7 Pro.
I installed Win 7 on a new drive, you would have to create a partition for it as it was suggested above.

|19 Sep 2010
You have to do a clean install and you have to re-install all the programs and drivers and etc.
So for example you can upgrade from Windows Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Ultimate. While you cannot upgrade from Windows Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Home Premium.
Just thought I'd post this incase people misunderstand the upgrade process a bit.

To clarify, you can buy an Upgrade version if you have any retail copy of XP or Vista, or either came on that machine.
However, to do an in-place Upgrade you must have the same version of Vista.
Otherwise you need to do a Custom clean install: Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version

I make no claims to be anti-alcohol. But when I want to drop pounds fast, I cut it out. If I'm just watching my weight, it's all about knowing what to order. I probably enjoy the booze a little too much for my so-called healthy obsession, but I think that's also why you guys like me, right? Many have asked, so here are my favorite drink recipes that keep that calories in check.
Vodka Soda How did you know I was going to say that!?
The SarahFit Special - Vodka, soda water, splash of pineapple juice and a cherry
Spiked Ice Tea - Unsweetened ice tea, vodka, a fresh squeezed lemon and stevia
Sarah's Favorite Margarita - Clear Tequila, splash of triple sec, splash of fresh squeezed OJ, the juice of 1 whole lime
Bikini Ready Daiquiri - Bacardi, frozen mangoes or strawberries, fresh squeezed lime juice, add a little bit of water, blend together, top off with soda water.
UPDATE: I love wine! I will add soda water sometimes if it's a cheap bottle for taste and it lowers the calories. Also, I love Sangria. All I do is use a cheap bottle of red wine, cognac and fresh fruit chopped up like limes, lemons, oranges, grapes, apples and/or pineapple. Delicious!
This is a mimosa which is also not a bad idea, just go easy on the OJ!
Lastly, do I drink beer? Yes but I try to avoid it and if I can't, I'll only have two.
Got a good recipe of your own? Add it below and I just might feature it with proper credit of course, in an upcoming drink video :) Cheers!

The Detroit Red Wings secured their franchises future with a deal that only grabbed headlines because it is August. General Manager Ken Holland has been signed for a four year extension through the 2017-18 season.
Ken Holland became the Red Wings GM in 1997 and has accomplished more in that time frame than most GM's have in their careers. His first cup could be argued was with someone else's team in 1998. His second and third ones in 2002 and 2008 respectively though were all his. Let's not forget the fifteen consecutive playoff appearances under his administration.
The Red Wings have become masters of drafting the late and making the most of it fielding a competitive hockey team with a chance of winning the cup every year. If you listen to the pundits most of them are starting to leave the Red Wings for dead saying that they will continue to be a middling team with no chance of winning without a large transformation. After last season I think that players like Tomas Tatar, a second year player, with 19 goals and 17 assists would encourage some to hold their tongues. The genius of Holland is doubted even while his playoff bound rebuilding team (it's a bit of an oxymoron but it seems to be the only way to describe the Wings) groomed a potential number one defenseman in DeKeyser. And we would be remiss if we left out Gustav Nyquist, a player with MVP potential.
Some talk about how the mystique is starting to fall from the Red Wings. People talk about how free agents don't want to go there anymore and about how Babcock will get out of there as soon as his contract is up and go coach the superstar in Pittsburgh. Those people may be right but come playoff time next year I'm betting that the Red and White are there and that most teams will not want to face them.

text: Deals FusionOne raises $6M for mobile content backup services February 26, 2008 3:45 PM Dean Takahashi 0 San Jose-based FusionOne has raised $6 million in a Series A-1 preferred stock round for its mobile content backup services. The company was founded a decade ago to create applications and services for mobile device users. It started out with a synchronization technology platform. It allowed users to securely sync files such as e-mail, calendar, browser settings and music between their computers and mobile phones. In 2001, it added wireless support and has helped the industry create a standard for mobile synchronization. The next year it created the MightyPhone service for automatic mobile contact updating. Then in 2004, it launched its automatic backup service for mobile devices. Carriers such as Verizon use the service and have branded it with their own names, such as Verizon Backup Assistant. The company says that Backup Assistant is a top ten revenue generator for Verizon. I actually use the Backup Assistant and gladly pay $2 a month to Verizon for the service. If I lose my phone, I risk losing all of my contacts. But I can ask Verizon to tap the Backup Assistant and download those contacts back into any new replacement phone that I activate. That's piece of mind. For the carrier, it's an important service revenue that is necessary in an age when revenues from voice are inexorably headed downward. The round was funded by El Dorado Ventures, Nokia Ventures, and Vesbridge Partners.

Win The Flask on The Macallan Tumblr page. (Contest will close April 10, 2013, at 11:59:59 pm/EST.)

The 2013 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model was leaked earlier today with Kate Upton appearing topless in Antarctica for the "Polar Bare' themed shoot. It's her third consecutive appearance as the cover model joining an illustrious list of models who appeared on the cover multiple years in a row. The big surprise was scheduled to be revealed on The Late Show with David Letterman on Monday, February 11, but there will be no surprise anymore. The issue will be out on newsstands February 12, and we feel Alabama bombshell Katherine Webb should have been on the cover, but congrats to Kate Upton!
It's Super Bowl Sunday. The global sports and media world turn their attention to New Orleans, Louisiana for Super Bowl XVLII between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers. Apart from the coveted Vince Lombardi Trophy, every NFL owner, coach, athlete, trainer, and all team personnel have one goal in mind entering the season, win a Super Bowl Championship.
The game of football has seen a few changes through the course of NFL history, from the size and speed of its players, the equipment used, even the hefty modern day contracts. The size of the NFL Championship rings have also gotten bigger, heavier and loaded with more diamonds as time goes on. Minnesota-based jeweler Jostens continues its passion for All-Pro, championship jewelry as we take a look at the evolution of the Super Bowl ring. Have a great #SB47 party!

Just to point out in case you haven't read the thread - I'm not actually in favour of positive discrimination..
Unless of course it gets me a day on the edugeek stand...:)
I am trying to persuade our only IT teacher left on staff to come along to BETT with me this year. It will be odd to visit a geek show at Excel without the anime crowd running around though. :P
Haha! Expo and BETT at the same time, I wish! It has been on at the same time as UK Top Model though, talk about a clashing crowd! :O
I haven't been to MCM for about... 4 years.
I got fed up of it. I never had anyone to go with.
Well, would anyone like a trip with me to Upper Gower Street so i can stalk....i mean see if a certain BBC show is being filmed....

From Broken to Unbreakable
The statistics of sexual abuse in America are staggering; one out of three girls and one out of four boys reports being victimized at some point in their lives. When one considers that sexual abuse is one of the most underreported crimes, it is likely that those numbers are even higher. With recent atrocities like Jerry Sandusky and the Penn State...
Searching For Answers
As a resident of Colorado for most of my life, I have been a witness to some of the greatest tragedies our state and country has seen. After the Columbine shootings, I sat powerlessly as a colleague of mine desperately tried to reach his daughter who was a sophomore there. After hours of sitting in panicked suspense, he received the call he'd been...
The Day God Died
God died recently. It was a long, slow, painful death. There were times I was forced to turn away because I could no longer bear the agony of witnessing the death of the One who I had held so dearly for so long. God was who I turned to for answers. God was my rescue, my salvation, my way into heaven and ticket out of hell. God was Omnipotent,...
What's Your Why?
Nietzsche probably said it best when he declared that "he who has a why to live can bear almost any how". It helps to explain how Viktor Frankl could lose everything, including his family and life's work in a concentration camp to emerge and eventually become a highly influential psychiatrist. It helps us to understand how Nelson Mandela could...
It happens so quickly. One minute, your life is going along smooth and easy and the next, you are looking around at the wreckage of what used to be your life.

Love Recklessly
When I first read Greg Behrendt's book "He's Just Not That Into You," one of the statements he made that stuck out for me (and with me) was his claim that "you are not the exception."

Desperate Lives
The mass of men live lives of quiet desperation ~ Thoreau If you have eyes to see, you'll see it everywhere. If you listen carefully, you'll hear it.

Dear Reader, I come to you in the form of this article simply because I have found I have no other way to get through to you.

"You don't need this junk. You need a cat.": Another murder. Please no.TRIGGER WARNING: descriptions of abuse, bullying, violence, attempted rape, and multiple murders, justifications, and gut-wrenchingly awful social indifference.
I need to be writing my submission for the LHP right now. Now that I got myself off to a good start on a topic I can actually get into. Rather than trying to recombine old tumblr posts creatively.
But I have to say this.
I am devastated over the woman in Sunnyvale who murdered her autistic son.
I am further devastated over the usual responses. "It was lack of services." (She had turned down services.) "She must have been mentally ill, because you know how violent and scary They are when They aren't treated properly." "Every parent of a child with autism wants to kill their child now and then. Anyone who says otherwise is lying. It could have been any of us. Let's sympathize, not condemn." "People don't know how awful it is to have an autistic child. They can drive you to murder." "It's better to be dead than autistic. This was a mercy killing."
I know it all by heart. I helped with the research for the first place that tried to chronicle and memorialize as many murders of autistic people as possible. We got hate mail. From the families of those killed. Saying we just couldn't understand the murderers or we wouldn't sympathize with the autistic people. I'm dead serious.
Every time this happens it cuts me to the core.
Every time this happens I know we are not safe anywhere.
If my parents got an ethics transplant and decided to kill me. They could fly out here and do it. They could show the world how bad I look on paper. Autism societies would rally around them and collect money for their defense fund. They would be charged with manslaughter, if anything. Their sentences would be shorter than those of anyone otherwise similar to them who murdered a nonautistic, nondisabled person otherwise demographically similar to me. It's not that I expect justice out of a system as terrible as our "justice" system, but these disparities show something seriously wrong.
A woman's daughter comes home from her residential school for the holidays. The girl begins to repeat the words "The sun is rising". The mother, who has been thinking about murder for years, decides now is the time. She tries to get the girl to walk off a bridge but she refuses. She strangles the girl with a cord. She wishes the girl would die faster, saying "Let go, just let go."
She turns herself in to the police. The entire country's autism community comes to her aid while actual disabled people look on in horror. She claims that her daughter's repetitive speech caused her to "snap". She is finally convicted of manslaughter and given a few years in prison. Other parents of autistic children protest even this. As a result she gets out after five months. People have been jailed for longer for merely planning to murder their nondisabled kids.
True story. Typical of the people who get sentenced to anything at all. The way to get away with murder is to kill someone society doesn't care about, and be someone society sympathizes with. You can say you were driven to it by having to care for us, even if you were not at all responsible for caring for us ever. People will eat it up.
Also understand this if you understand nothing else: When people use murders for telling people we need better services for parents, this does two things once it gets into the media. It holds disabled people hostage. And it means the murder rate against us goes up. Lobby for better services on your own time — not using our dead bodies as justification.
It's a little over fifteen years ago that caregivers (not my family) tried to murder me. They knew I was having an anaphylactic reaction so they just made it clear they wouldn't treat it and nobody would know that it wasn't an accident. They carefully noted my swollen tongue and throat, and what that meant, and they insulted me thoroughly and walked out the door. If it weren't for someone from the outside seeing me collapsed on the floor struggling to breathe, I wouldn't be here.
That's typical of caregiver-induced murders in mental institutions. They often simply don't get help after it's clear someone's going to die. This is known because of times when they slip up and get caught. Other times they deliberately kill someone but blame it on seizures or heart disorders. Other times, during restraint, they disregard someone's complaints that they can't breathe — often their last words.
I know these things because I've made it my business to know them. But it never gets easier. Never.
i believe this this to be an extremely important post. please click through and read the whole thing.
My sister has Down's Syndrome and my mom was a lawyer for people with disabilities and their family members. I've heard a lot of stories like this, but they never get any less upsetting.

Jury resumes talks in California corruption case
Thursday - 3/21/2013, 3:23pm EDT
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A jury in the civic corruption trial of former elected officials in the blue-collar, California city of Bell resumed deliberations Thursday, with at least one member indicating in a note that an improper guilty verdict might have been reached earlier.
Superior Court Judge Kathleen Kennedy heard arguments from defense attorneys over the note and an earlier juror message, but said she would not revisit verdicts that had already been reached and ordered deliberations on undecided counts.
"The chips are going to fall where they fall," Kennedy said.
Jurors reached mixed verdicts on Wednesday of guilty and not guilty for a former mayor and four former Bell City Council members, and acquitted a sixth defendant of all charges.
Jurors were unable to decide on numerous other allegations of misappropriation of public funds and Kennedy told them to keep deliberating.
On Thursday, one juror, who asked to remain anonymous, sent a note to the judge that referenced a verdict involving one of the municipal boards that prosecutors contend the officials used to help boost their salaries.
"I have been debating in my own mind that due to the pressure and stress of the deliberation process the jury may have given an improper verdict on the Solid Waste Authority," the note said. "It is better to be certain beyond a reasonable doubt to give a verdict of guilty than send someone innocent to prosecution."
In a note sent Wednesday, a juror identified as No. 10 said she thought the jury was straying from the judge's instructions.
Defense attorneys argued Thursday that the notes might indicate there is misconduct in deliberations.
"There may be horse-trading to give up one verdict to get another," said defense lawyer Alex Kessel, who represents former Councilman George Mirabal.
Kennedy said pressure is placed on juries in all cases that involve deliberations.
"That is not tantamount to misconduct," she said.
Defense attorneys also questioned whether the jury instructions were prejudicial to their clients.
At one point, defense attorney Ron Kaye, who represents ex-Councilman George Cole, suggested that jurors hear more evidence about the case, drawing an angry rebuke from the judge.
"You are not going to reopen evidence," she said. "That is not provided. No!"
The case involving the 2

Martin Johnson Heade, Cattleya Orchid and Three Hummingbirds, 1871
Inspired perhaps by the works of Charles Darwin and Frederic Edwin Church, Heade planned to produce a deluxe book in the 1860s depicting Brazilian hummingbirds in tropical settings, and, to that end, created a series of 40 small pictures called The Gems of Brazil. The project was abandoned, but Heade retained his interest in hummingbirds and continued to paint them in combination with orchids and jungle backgrounds through the 1870s. -WikiPaintings

Tonight he'll lace up the skates for the St. Louis Blues, and will face off against a lot of friends and former teammates. The Buffalo Sabres are in town, and he played more than 100 games for that franchise. Don't expect him to hold back against the familiar faces though.
Ott on facing his former team: "There's a lot of good friends and close friends I'll have for life over there. But game on is game on."
— St. Louis Blues (@StLouisBlues) April 3, 2014
This could be a good opportunity for the veteran to get his legs under him. While he's primarily been used as a bottom-six guy, the Blues desperately need some scoring from their depth guys as the seasons comes to a close. The top line of Alexander Steen, David Backes and T.J. Oshie seems to be money every night, but head coach Ken Hitchcock has been forced to shuffle lines two through four in hopes of sparking the offense.
If the line juggling doesn't do it for Ott, maybe seeing his former team will start a small fire in his belly.

The Standalone App Makes Comedy Podcasts Widely Available to iPhone, iPad Users
The launch of Apple's standalone app for podcasts Tuesday will promote and simplify comedy podcast listening for iPhone and iPad users.
Earwolf, an iTunes featured provider and producer of 18 comedy podcasts, welcomes the ability to invade listeners' earholes through another medium.
"The ability to preview and stream our shows removes some of the hurdles that people had previously encountered when trying to sample our content," said Earwolf CEO Jeff Ullrich. "With four of the top 25 comedy podcasts in iTunes, we're excited that this app will allow fans to enjoy comedians like Randy and Jason Sklar, Paul Scheer, and Matt Besser on their morning commutes, at the gym, and anywhere they choose to listen."
By breaking out of iTunes Store proper, the app will make discovering and subscribing to comedy podcasts easier, as well as more accessible through features like the 'top stations' section.
"Thanks go out to Apple for making it easier than ever to find my podcast," said Scott Aukerman, Comedy Bang! Bang! host and Earwolf co-founder. "But enough about that - everyone please watch my TV show - Fridays at 10 p.m. on IFC."

Dr. Jay Neal, assistant professor of food safety in the Conrad N. Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management at the University of Houston (UH), received a $59,000 award from the American Hotel and Lodging Educational Foundation to research hotel room hygiene. Norovirus, a contagious illness that affects the gastrointestinal tract, affects approximately 19 to 21 million people per year. The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates norovirus is the most common disease caused by a foodborne pathogen. It can be contracted from infected individuals, contaminated food or water, or by utilizing communal objects and surfaces like those commonly found in hotels. As hotels and lodging represent a $137 billion industry in America, implementation of effective sanitation methods is of utmost importance. Neal, an expert in the areas of food microbiology and food safety, is working in collaboration with Dr. Sujata Sirsat, lecturer and research assistant professor of food safety at UH, to develop professional training procedures that could lead to increased cleanliness and sanitation within the hospitality industry.
What is the difference between cleaning and sanitizing?
Cleaning and sanitizing are two different things: cleaning means removing visible soil while sanitizing means reducing potentially harmful microorganisms to safe levels. Most hotel rooms are cleaned but may not be sanitized, which can increase the spread of disease such as norovirus. This could also contribute to the increased risk of H1N1, a subtype of the Influenza A virus, and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), which have significantly impacted the hospitality industry on a global scale.
What discoveries do you hope to make, and what is their significance?
Our goal is to develop a science-based approach to cleaning and sanitizing best practice methods for hotel housekeeping departments. We want to identify the "high-touch" areas in the hotel and, by focusing our cleaning and sanitizing efforts in those areas, reduce guests' risk of illness.
Global travel plays a significant role in the spread of pandemics. We would like to reduce this risk through strategic sanitizing of guests rooms. One of our research objectives is to analyze current housekeeping textbooks and training materials from the top 10 hotel chains. We plan on developing new curriculum materials for the American Hotel and Lodging Association that can be used in hospitality education and training nationwide.
How common is it for consumers to contract diseases or viruses from staying in a hotel?
It is not that common, but it does happen occasionally. Athlete's foot, the common cold, hepatitis, herpes, influenza, intestinal flu, Legionnaires disease, mononucleosis, salmonellosis, staphylococcus infections, streptococcus infections, trench mouth, and tuberculosis are some of the diseases that patrons can come in contact with while in a hotel.
What objects should consumers be cautious of in a hotel room?
There is not much that the consumer should be cautious of but they do need to wash their hands just like they would at home, especially after using the restroom. High-touch areas such as the remote control and light switches tend to have the highest bacterial counts, but I do not believe that these are higher than in your home. It's just not your own bacteria, which sometimes makes people uncomfortable.
How has your previous experience in the catering and restaurant industries shaped your research on food safety and the hospitality industry?
I hope there is a thread of similarity in all of my research and that is to help protect or reduce the public's risk of foodborne illness or other environment-related illnesses. That is the foundation for my research and the reason why I'm dedicated to this field of study. I saw a genuine need and a lack of training in the industry. There are many wonderful people working in the hospitality industry who want to do the right thing. They need to be not only trained, but also have managers that demonstrate proper food safety behaviors.
Neal began the current research study in 2010 as part of a University of Houston Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) award with former undergraduate student Katie Kirsh. Currently, Neal is working in collaboration with Dr. Barbara Almanza, director of graduate programs and professor in the College of Health and Human Services at Purdue University, and Dr. Sheryl Kline, chairperson and professor in the Department of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management at the University of Delaware.

Burrowing owl.
Yesterday I spent the day in Point Reyes, CA. I've been to Point Reyes a few times, but never really explored much of it. I spent the day hiking new trails, seeing new landscapes, and taking notes of areas I'd like to return to. The sun was setting, and I didn't take many photos throughout the day, so I decided to take a last drive around, to see if anything was out and about. I then spotted these handsome fellows, to the left and pulled the car over. There were at least ten more elk around, but these guys were in a nice little group so I took advantage of the light, and situation.

Came across this horrifying story today…
According to Globalpost.com, an Australian mother has been sentenced to four years in prison for raping her daughter. According to reports, the mother claims that she was teaching her eleven year old daughter "sex education."
Judge John Roberts claimed the woman had no reason psychologically to do this to her daughter as the 37 year old woman from Queensland's Sunshine Coast had a loving and healthy relationship with her own parents. She started seeing the father of her children when she was 14 and was pregnant with her first child by 16.
It was said that the woman became obsessed with "cyber-sex" before the incidents started taking place. There are also reports that the daughter in question was forced to watch videos online. The daughter was "deprived a loving a wholesome relationship with her mother," Roberts stated. "Your conduct toward your daughter involved a serious breach of trust." The woman had three separate videos accounting the times she raped the youngest of her four children.
The woman's main defense was that she was giving her daughter a form of sex education and received no carnal satisfaction from the events. The judge replied to this defense by saying, "You were obsessed with sex and your life was in chaos."
The mother has already served 243 days in custody. She is expected to serve another 122 days before release will be made. Once released, the woman is expected to serve three years on probation. Judge Roberts reports that while rape by mothers is uncommon, this shocking event will have punishment.
Serious breach of trust? That doesn't begin to cover it! There are videos of this woman raping her child. If that's not enough to lock her up and throw away the key, I don't know what would be. And this monster will be out of jail soon, serving probation. Fucking sickening.
TRIGGER WARNING: DISCUSSION RE RAPE OF A CHILD BY FAMILY MEMBER. I agree that this is horrible. The mother should...
I'm so happy when I meet another feminist who doesn't open by trying to argue that the ultra-light sentence this rapist...

D.A.R.E. officers complete training
By SUE
Twenty-six law officers, including one from Marshall County, completed D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) certification training at Byhalia Elementary School Thursday.
The 80-plus hour training course prepares officers to serve grades K-12 in schools, according to Sheri Hall, state D.A.R.E. training coordinator. Deputy Cathy Elliott, who serves as school resource officer at Potts Camp High School and Galena and Mary Reid schools, took the course this year. Elliott, along with deputies Shane Goode (H.W. Byers School) and Tamara Jeffries (Byhalia Middle and High School), provide law enforcement support in the county school district and at Marshall Academy. Lt. John Norman with Holly Springs Police Department serves as D.A.R.E. officer for the Holly Springs School District and Holy Family School.
The program teaches youngsters to resist drug use and violence, as well as teaching personal safety.
D.A.R.E. officers chose Byhalia Elementary and Middle School principal Kerry Reid and assistant principal Sonya Cross as educators of the year for 2006.
Local governments provide training and pay the salaries of their in-school officers. Goode, Jeffries and Elliott are paid out of the Marshall County Sheriff's Departmental budget.
Don Randolph, superintendent of the county schools, called his district a training ground for D.A.R.E. since this is the third year the D.A.R.E. association has come to Byhalia Elementary to complete in-school training required for certification.
"We're glad we're a training ground," Randolph told the 26 graduates and eight training officers. "We hope your people in your community support you like our sheriff does here."
Randolph referred to the D.A.R.E. program as "a divine walk in the community."
Law officers from as far away as Connecticut, Virginia, Missouri and Rhode Island enrolled in this class. Instruction took place in Tunica before officers came to Byhalia to finish their training in a classroom setting.
Deputy Elliott has served the last two years as school resource officer at Potts Camp, Galena and Mary Reid schools, starting out part-time.
She graduated from the Mississippi Police Academy at Moorhead in 2004 and was D.A.R.E. certified last week. Elliott received advanced school resource officer certification in 2005.
Elliott began working in law enforcement under Sheriff Ernest Cunningham in 1994-95 as a part-time deputy helping juvenile officer Patricia Selman, now interim Police Chief in Holly Springs.
"I moved back here in 1991 and there were not a lot of job opportunities in the area then," Elliott said. "Selman, a friend of mine, was juvenile officer at the time and she encouraged me. She said it was such a rewarding type of job. That is very true.
"Dealing with children, they respect me. It's just so rewarding when you can touch the life of a child in a positive manner. From talking with the teachers and principals, they say having a school resource officer in school helps keep down fights and students behave better.
"It's a wonderful job, a very rewarding job, and every now and then you can see you made a difference in the life of a child. That makes it worth getting up every morning and doing what we do.
"There are challenges as well, because you do have those children you have to arrest from time to time and have to cuff them and put them in the back seat of the patrol car. But that's part of the job."
Elliott grew up in Marshall County, graduated from Holly Springs High School, and in 1977 earned a bachelor's in public administration from Ole Miss.
Before moving back to Marshall County, Elliott worked in Memphis and Dallas as a commercial lines underwriter for several insurance companies.
She is the daughter of the late Magnolia and Lamon Elliott Jr. who lived a few miles outside Holly Springs on Old Highway 7 South.

There was no waving wheat in celebration of another Kansas Jayhawk victory Friday night at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, site of NCAA South Region semifinals. Instead, at least half of the crowd estimated at around 30,000 sat stunned as the Michigan Wolverines literally grabbed victory from the jaws of defeat with an improbable 87-85 victory over the Jayhawks, eliminating Kansas from the 2013 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship field.
This was a game Kansas should never have lost. Period…fini. This is not to say that No. 4-seeded Michigan should not or could not have beaten the top-seeded Jayhawks. Obviously, the Wolverines were more than capable of handling the other Big Blue, but with leads of 14 and 10 points at the under-seven minute and under three-minute marks, respectively. it appeared that only a total collapse on the part of the Jayhawks could have turned the tale for the young and refuse-to-die bunch from Michigan. And guess what? That is exactly what took place.
Kansas senior guard Elijah Johnson, who has been the object of criticism most of this season because of his erratic, error-prone play, drained a three-point shot with under seven minutes remaining in the game to give the Jayhawks what, at the time, looked like a reasonably safe lead heading down the stretch. Over the next six and a half minutes, though, the Jayhawk offense went into automatic pilot, or so it appeared.
Meanwhile, the guys in maize and blue refused to quit and continued working hard. With under a minute to go, the Wolverines had outscored the Jayhawks 19-8 and were within three points when Johnson was fouled and awarded a one-and-one bonus opportunity that could have sealed the win and shut off the Michigan's miracle comeback.
Woulda…shoulda. coulda. Johnson, who his coach had openly criticized in a halftime inverview for what Bill Self termed a couple of "bonehead plays," missed the front end of his one-and-one free throw attempt, thus giving Michigan and, particularly, Big Ten Player of the Year Trey Burke, the sliver of hope needed to equal the score, which Burke did with a 25-foot three-point shot that hit nothing but net and ended up changing the entire course of the game.
The Jayhawks still had four seconds left, more than enough time to set up a scoring play to win the game, but sophomore guard Naadir Tharpe's straight-on shot from about 21 feet clanked off the front rim. In overtime, the momentum shift stayed with Michigan as the Wolverines opened up a five-point lead at 87-82 with 52 second left on the game clock. Johnson hit a three-pointer to narrow the Michigan lead to a single possession. But after Kansas got a defensive stop on the ensuing Michigan possession, forcing the Wolverines into a shot-clock violation, the Jayhawks were unable to execute what would have been a game-winning three-point shot at the buzzer.
Kansas' final possession had a lot of fans shaking their head and wondering what the Jayhawks were thinking. Given what resulted in a free timeout with which to set up a controlled play because of the officials checking the monitor after the 35-second clock had expired on the Wolverines to see exactly how much time should be left on the clock, Self called for a play that had Johnson drive to the basket and, if the shot wasn't there, to kick it out to a three-point shooter to take the final shot.
Johnson made the penetration to the bucket, then turned and fired the ball into the backcourt to Tharp, who was out of position and forced to take an off-balance shot that missed. Game over. It appeared that Johnson could have attempted a lay in at the basket, and perhaps drawn a foul or even an added free throw had the ball somehow found itself into the basket. Either way, that would have been a higher percentage shot that kicking the ball out to the perimeter for a desperation three.
Self said after the game that he had asked his seniors during the team's final timeout in overtime what they wanted to do. There was no hesitation, he said, they wanted to go for the three points and the win and not just settle for a tie. Good or bad decision? That will be debated for weeks and months to come, but the brutal fact is that Kansas allowed itself to be placed in that untenable position at the end.
"Coach give me the ball to make a play," Johnson said. "And I don't know. I could have took the shot. But I passed it up."
In his post-game comments, Self said games usually come down to one or two possessions, This game, however, came down to five, he said, and none of them went Kansas' way.
The Jayhawks' game plan was largely geared around stopping Burke, cut off his driving lanes and force him to score from the perimeter. Kansas had a definite size advantage inside, and the Jayhawks wanted to pound the ball inside and exploit the Wolverine's four-guard defensive weakness in trying to matchup with the Jayhawk bigs in the paint. What Self and Company did not count on was Michigan freshman center Mitch McGary scoring 25 points with seven-foot Jeff Withey, one of the premier shot blockers in the country, defending him.
This was only the second time all season that Kansas lost after leading the game at halftime. It also was one of the few times all year that the Jayhawks' opponent won the rebound battle. The much smaller Wolverines held their own on the boards and ended up outrebounding Kansas 38 to 35 and, critically, 14 to seven on the offensive glass, resulting in easy put backs.
The underdog Wolverines gave Kansas, which ended the season with a record of a taste of its own medicine in pulling out the victory at the very end. Kansas won several games this season in which the Jayhawks had to come from behind late to preserve the victory. On this day, however, the tables were turned, and the Jayhawks were forced to experience what it feels like to give away a game in which they were in complete control for 90 percent of the game, only to lose at the very end.
Said Johnson, who unfortunately will wear the goat collar for this loss, even though it should be viewed as a collective team collapse and not the doing or undoing of a single player or play: Toward the end, we kind of played a little softer, like we didn't want to…I don't know, I don't want to say 'make a mistake.' I don't know. I guess we're trying to hold on the something, but we needed to keep playing."
Because they didn't keep playing, ironically, the Jayhawks' 2012-13 season and journey through the NCAA tourney is now over. The nine-time defending Big 12 champions can take small solace in the fact that Michigan didn't really win this NCAA South Region semifinal, the Jayhawks lost this game all on their own.
The bottom line, though, is that Michigan survives and advances, as the late coach Jim Valvano would say, and Kansas' stellar season has come to a crushing close.

Now, unless you're a theater geek, you have no idea where you've heard that little rhyme (Dr. Suess?), but you've definitely heard it. Most likely it was Audrey Hepburn's portrayal of Eliza Doolittle, the Cockney flower girl who gets a speech makeover from linguistics professor Henry Higgins in the movie version of "My Fair Lady," which is the musical based on George Bernard Shaw's play "Pygmalion." Bursting with familiar show tunes such as "I Could Have Danced All Night" and "Wouldn't It Be Loverly?," the musical is well-loved despite its misogynistic tone.

<FILM>Thursday, March 9'Demoralization of Richard Engelsbird' We've all heard how hard it is to get a film made. Even with a good script, a good cast and plenty of production money, most films never reach their intended audiences. Nineteen-year-old Louisville filmmaker Brian Cunningham is attempting to beat the long odds in part by starting early. When the U of L freshman finished his debut in 2003, he decided further editing would improve the end product. The result of two years of additional editing is on display at the Floyd Theater Thursday night. With a whimsical filming approach and an all-local cast highlighted by the character Safron, a violinist beset by an unwanted suitor, the film perhaps defies conventional description. The horror/comedy/thriller "The Demoralization of Richard Engelsbird" is, Cunningham warns, a "no-budget" film, the maiden voyage for his Unseen Films. Hey, no worries, some of us like that kind of stuff. —Paul KopaszFloyd Theater at U of L2100 S. Floyd St.www.unseenfilms.com$1; 7:30 p.m.
