He rose from humble beginnings to conquer the pop music charts, indulged in all the excesses that celebrity affords, walked away at the height of his fame to embrace religion, and then, years later, made a triumphant return to the mainstream music world. Ladies and gentlemen . . . the Mase story! Just kidding. The renowned Reverend Al Green has apparently gotten the okay from God and his congregation down at the Full Gospel Tabernacle (his church in Memphis, where he preaches and sings nearly every Sunday) to sing about earthly pleasures once again. Though Green has mostly recorded gospel music since the late '70s -- when he took the infamous hot grits episode and a near-calamitous fall from a Cincinnati stage as signs to join the ministry -- last year's I Can't Stop was a marvelous return to the secular scene. His voice is still magnificent, his tunes are still stirring; put simply, he's one of the greatest soul singers ever, and this is a show not to be missed.

The Women of New Orleans After Katrina
Shana Griffin is resident of New Orleans and organizer with INCITE: Women of Color Against Violence and Critical Resistance New Orleans. Shana grew up in the Iberville Housing Development and is completing a Masters Degree in Sociology at the University of New Orleans. She is currently working on the Womenís Health and Justice Initiative, which is a coordinating with several organizations to open a Womenís Health Clinic this September in the historic Treme district of New Orleans. For more information, email email@example.com.
There have been a lot analyses about race and class post-Katrina, how does your organizing philosophy differ and work to address womenís issues?
I, and the women I work with try to organize from an intersectionality approach that includes an analysis of gender, race, class, citizenship status, sexuality, and a critique of privilege. We try to organize from an unfragmented approach, meaning we donít expect people to walk through the door and drop 3/4ths of themselves and come in as a just woman or just a black person. We donít exist as just women, we do have a race and we do have a class and ethnic background. Itís important to look at things from an intersectionality – in the Gulf Coast there are reasons why things are unfolding the way theyíre unfolding.
On TV, immediately after Katrina and as things began to unfold in the city with the flood waters, most of the faces we saw were women ñ poor black women and their children and their families. If you took any urban area and gave it 24 hour notice to evacuate, it would be the same population, the same poor black women in the most vulnerable situations.
What do you see as unique challenges and issues women have been facing in the Gulf post-Katrina?
One of the biggest post-Katrina challenges is the complete absence of consideration or special provisions to meet the needs of women. So many studies related to disaster or times of war and conflict show that women are one of the most vulnerable populations. Violence against women increases as well as their responsibilities since they are generally the primary caregivers for the elderly and children. Thereís been an invisibility toward the needs of women of color in the Gulf Coast region.
To me, itís not enough to have a solid race and class analysis, because beyond those two, you also need a gender analysis. Because of the absence of the gender analysis of many agencies, organizations who identify as women of color organizations have to constantly fight to render ourselves visible and at the same time, we have to justify our existence in the work that weíre trying to do.
New Orleans pre-Katrina population was more than half women and today when you look at the statistics around housing, healthcare, even incarceration ñ women and especially black women are much more vulnerable. In 2003 in Louisiana 80% of new HIV cases were black women – in public housing, the vast majority of tenants were womenÖI can go on and on ñ those who are most directly impacted are women when it comes to the aftermath of natural and man-made disasters.
How do you feel the initiative and clinic will work to address some of those issues?
The purpose of the clinic is to improve low-income and uninsured women of colorís healthcare access and to promote an holistic and community-centered approach to primary to healthcare. At the same time we look at the oppression and violence that have impact on the health status of women and to improve those situations. Itís more than providing healthcare services itís also about challenging the conditions that limit our access and our opportunities, such as poverty, racism, gender-based violence, imperialism, and war. We see it as more than just a clinic ñ we want it to also be an organizing center that can meet immediate needs while also working for racial, gender, economic, and environmental justice.
We see our clinic as a great opportunity to talk to people and discuss why these services and this approach is needed. We have the power to reinvent ourselves and create institutions that are equitable.

Michelle Snyder oversaw technology experts who helped build healthcare.gov and is the second administration official to leave after problems with the website where Americans can buy health insurance.
The New York Times: Second Official to Leave After Health Site Trouble
The No. 2 official at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, who supervised the troubled rollout of President Obama's health care law, is retiring, administration officials said Monday. Michelle Snyder oversaw the technology experts who built the Healthcare.gov website. The official, Michelle Snyder, is the agency's chief operating officer. She is the second administration official to depart since problems at the website, healthcare.gov, frustrated millions of people trying to buy insurance and caused political embarrassment to President Obama (Pear, 12/30/13).
Reuters: Official Who Oversaw Building Of Obamacare Website Retires
Snyder, a career bureaucrat, was identified by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius at a hearing in October as the CMS official who decided to have the federal government fulfill the key role of system integrator for healthCare.gov. But Sebelius also told lawmakers: "Michelle Snyder is not responsible for the debacle. Hold me accountable for the debacle. I'm responsible." ... Snyder has not taken a public role in defending the administration's work on Healthcare.gov or its effort (Cornwell, 12/30/13).

text: See that girl on the right? That's my friend Alex. She is gorgeous, beautiful, Perfect, Flawless, and well just about everything. the first day l had met her I fell I fell in love. I remember the first words she said to me "I got you this pop-tart" She was so stunning. Everything about that day was soooo amazing. I can't even begin to explain. That same day i dyed her hair and she was wearing shorts she had to barrow so her clothes wouldn't get ruined. I remember she came in and sat down with scars going all the way up her legs. Words and scars of all different sizes were just covering her legs. She was so beautiful. I don't know how she could've gotten this way. I didn't want to embarrass her so I kept my mouth shut. Later that evening discovered I had more feelings towards her than I thought. I didn't think she even gave me a second look. I would always talk to my trusted friends about her and how I felt. One day I recieved a message from her. Just a simple "Hey". That made me feel like a million bucks. The more we started talking the more I found out about her. She constantly gets made fun of at school. People will trip her, throw food at her, she gets called "Emo" and everyone just expects her to self harm herself. What almost threw her off the edge was her best friends suicide. I can tell that still hurts her and not a day goes by that she doesn't think about it. Do you know what it's like to get bullied everyday? She does. She has been strong this whole time. I also remember this night very well in general. We were talking and she was telling me about how she wanted to just give up. That's when I told her that I liked her and she meant so much to me and she had no idea. She actually felt the same way towards me and I just couldn't believe any of this. A few days later she told me that I had saved her life. I was completely confused but she explain how she had some pills she was going to take and just end it all but I had stopped her. I just couldn't believe my luck. When I found out she liked me back we couldn't date which is what hurt probably the was most. She lived in Florida and I moved to Texas. We just couldn't take the distance. Over the time as we talked more and more we finally decided we could at least try. We did but the distance wasn't easy to overcome. We didn't last long at all and decided we could try again when we're closer. I promise i'll make that happen. After about a month she likes this other guy and I am fine with that. The guy used to like her but then he straight up told her she he didn't like her anymore. Lately she's been staying home from school because her anxiety is through the roof. But that guy may have just pushed her off the edge. I haven't been able to contact her myself but her best friend says his might be the time. She is pretty serious this time. She might kill herself guise. I know most of you probably won't bother to read through this but I just can't bare to have this happen to her. Please get this notes. As many as you can I want to show her people care. I know most of you want care or think this won't go with your blog bu does that matter? Suicide is serious. Please she just needs people to care. I don't want anything to happen to her you guise just don't understand. Please like reblog ANYHING. It all counts. Just know that you all could possibly save a life please. Just please. She desperately needs help. I am relying on you guise. Please.

Las unicas cadenas que te dan libertad son las de la bicicleta.
The only chains that give you freedom are the ones of a bicycle.
These days we are thinking of the freedom we had. This trip gave us an incredible freedom. And yes, you are right, we are extreme freedom-lovers. And now? Bam – welcome back to normal! After the first euphoria of being home, seeing everybody and celebrating, it is definitely hard to accept. Same flat, same hood, same people and the whole journey seems to encapsulate in a big bubble. Staying in rooms all day long, sitting in front of the computer, and realizing the adventure is over. Leaving is easier than coming back. It seems sad.
But it is not. It is great at the same time! Because we are still free, the journey freed our minds! And this will last. We will keep what we experienced forever. And it will definitely play an important role in how we will live and create our life from now on. Freedom is not always easy but worth it!
Thank you all - Gracias a todos!
We are back home. So suddenly. In our flat, surrounded by our personal belongings - so much stuff. A few days later: Christmas! Seeing the whole big family, old friends, being all together, celebrating… it is great to feel so homey at Christmas!
But already now we have moments when we hardly believe that we have been on the road for the last 16 months. This feeling comes much too fast! It hurts to realize that it is really over now. Full of melancholy and gratitude we think of the number of countries we cycled through, the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets we enjoyed, the huge dimensions that let us feel so little and powerful at the same time. How many people we met and how many adventures we lived through!!?? We realize it was a long time - the best time of our life! So, we directly find ourselves in front of the world map in my parents' house and think about new places to go…
We would like to thank you all for taking part in the Velosophics journey! Never before, we experienced so much support and help, so much engagement and cordiality. This is incredible, honestly!
We learned that 98 percent of all people are good ones. So we don't have to be afraid of anyhting and one is for sure: There is always a solution for every problem. This knowledge definitely has a huge impact on our attitudes and future decisions. Thank you Latin America, for teaching us this lesson!
Now we know that everything is possible, no matter how far or high it may seem. How often did we shout "Todo es possible en el mundo!" and "Wir schaffen das!"??? It is only a question of your own will and time you have to invest for yourself - for your dream. This is the best and the most important we ever did in our life: Having a big dream and fulfilling it!
Thank you all
for inviting us, offering places to sleep and food,
for trusting us, giving the feeling to be safe whenever and however we will come back home,
for motivating us on the streets with your thumbs up, greetings and wavings,
for your visits from home,
for writing and missing us,
for sponsoring us with equipment and bike parts before and during the trip,
for cycling with us and sharing amazing days and weeks on the road,
for donating and supporting our "Bikes for Africa" charity,
for teaching us Spanish,
for integrating us in your families,
for letting us sleep in your own beds!,
for your professional support building and working on the bikes,
for giving us a ride when we were stuck,
for showing us your cultures and personal worlds,
for publishing our project,
for not gun-pointing us!,
and finally for welcoming us back home!
With this in mind we wish you all a Merry Christmas, some beautiful days with your friends and families and a great start into the new year!
Coming Home!
The date, this special date, that felt so far away for the last 15 months, is coming closer and closer, and suddenly appears right in front of us: We have a flight on the 29th November from Buenos Aires to Frankfurt and will slowly cycle home to Düsseldorf in the first December week.
If there is no big snow storm, iced roads or broken parts on the last kilometers we will arrive
at the Hermannplatz in Flingern
on Saturday, 7th December
around 1 pm.
Would be great to see many of you there!
For days and weeks we are talking about home already. Too early, for sure! We should enjoy the last weeks of cycling and freedom, the sun and the mountains, meeting different people and seeing new things every day. But it is an unavoidable automatic process. Already now we are so much in Germany with our thoughts. A big part of that is anticipation for the reunion, but a lot is already organizing the first steps back into German life. We are checking job offers and talk about how our lives could look like, seeking for a new adventure – jobwise.
It will be epic seeing you all again! And it will be great to have our home back: an own bed, a big kitchen, not changing and packing the bags every day, no cooking on the dirty ground and washing clothes by hand… An automatic dish washer and a warm shower that is always available. And how will it feel like to wear jeans again?! Or even high heels?! I will cook big meals, make tons of cake and muffins and we will celebrate our dark German bread. We will ring and meet our friends when we want to… I will go running and not cycling! We will listen to our music out of Hardys beloved high-end speakers – no more crappy sounds! The list of things we are looking forward to is looong! From over here it all seems like luxury stuff for us but we already know that we are living the real luxury (in our sense) right now:
Having the time and mobility, the freedom and courage to do what we want to do and go where we want to go.

Blessed to be a Blessing - Answers for Each Day - June 18
Blessed to be a Blessing
Our capitalistic society is geared toward one purpose…people accumulating wealth. While there is nothing wrong with material abundance, many Christians today have lost sight of why God has blessed them with prosperity.
They believe it is for their own good and benefit, but God's perspective is quite different. For example, here is what the writer of Hebrews tells us in Hebrews 13:16,
But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Now the phrase "to share" means to share with others. One translation says, Share what you have. Another version translates this, Be generous. Another says, Contribute to the needy.
You see, God blesses us to make us a blessing! That ought to be the main motivation for desiring and praying for God's blessing in our lives. God told Abraham, "I'm going to bless you, and you will be a blessing." God says the fringe benefit is that, "I will give you richly all things to enjoy." But the main flow of God's purpose in blessing us is so we can help other people.
It is also the reason we should desire the inheritance that Christ has given to us, all of those Holy Spirit-conferred blessings, which we discussed on day 14. Why? Because we can't give what we don't have. You can't bless someone if you don't have anything to bless them with!
God is well pleased to see us walk in our inheritance as sons, but He is also well pleased to see us share what He has blessed us with.

Get married on Saturday, referee a Women's Professional Soccer league match seven days later (on May 10) and then hop on a plane for your honeymoon?
Not the usual sequence of events for newlyweds, but a W.P.S. referee will be doing exactly that.
Ted Unkel of Sarasota, Fla., received his first league refereeing assignment for the Chicago Red Stars-Sky Blue F.C. match on May 10 at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, Ill. The only problem was that he and his wife Christina Ibanez had planned to leave for their honeymoon from Florida to San Diego on May 9. After two months of planning, they had their flights, hotel and a rental car booked for the trip.
Both are soccer referees, so naturally, they rescheduled the trip so Unkel could work his first W.P.S. match.
"Our schedules are so tight as it is that it took a while to actually get the honeymoon finalized, so what was one more wrinkle," Unkel, 31, said about rearranging their plans.
When told about the conflict the bride-to-be laughed, he said. Ibanez, a soccer fan as well as a ref, supported the decision to postpone the honeymoon for a few days, or so she said.
"She loves the game of soccer, so she is more than willing to come to a match any chance she gets," Unkel said. "She may have laughed and cried at the same time when I told her, but was genuinely excited about the opportunity. Ever since I found out I'd be a part of W.P.S., I've been looking forward to taking the field –- and she knows that. Our life is going to be full of memories and this is going to be a special one."

The Curious Case of Napoleon's penis.
France's most famous emperor liked to get around, and its believed that he suffered from both syphilis and gonorrhea. So, after his death, the doctor performing his autopsy noticed it looked a little strange and decided to cut it off. Unfortunately this skilled practitioner failed to put it in some formaldehyde, and it was already, um, a bit shrivelled when he sold it illegally to a Corsican priest (Corsica was Napoleon's native province, so I guess the priest was just a really big fan).
After the priest's death, Napoleon's family jewels stayed within his family, until it finally found its way to America in the early 20th century. Then it was purchased, ironically, by an American Urologist (a penis doctor, FYI). The now inch and half artifact was then put on display, where it was compared to a wrinkled piece of beef jerky.
The penis' current owner was very protective of his prize, so took it off display because he thought people were making fun of it, and locked it in a trunk, allowing no one to see it. There it stayed for many years, while its owner was off collecting other morbid artifacts (like the leather seat cushions from the car Kennedy was shot in), until he died.
Just recently, his daughter discovered it in the trunk, resting on cotton in a little wooden box. Last thing I heard, she's not selling it, but has received offers for up to $100,000. And not to long ago, a lock of Napoleon's hair sold for $15,000.
I wonder if Napoleon knows his body parts have become hot commodities.
I read 'penis' and 'pants' and assumed it was the American version such an innocent mind

DEKALB | The statistics were staggering.
A total of 64 points scored against the top seeds on each side of the Class 7A bracket in the last two weeks.
Only 49 yards rushing and seven points allowed in the last three weeks.
An undefeated record Saturday from start to finish this season – the only blemish in a 13-1 record coming at Loyola Academy in a contest that lightning forced to finish on Sunday.
In the end, it was the feeling that was overwhelming to the players on top-ranked Mount Carmel after they finished their run to the 7A championship with a 30-0 shutout of Lake Zurich at Huskie Stadium. And the Bears were fortunate to have 0.
The feeling was coming for a while.
"Around the start of the playoffs," linebacker Sam Connelly was saying. "I saw our emotion, how we were playing. It reminded me a lot of last year's team."
Mount Carmel took advantage of three Lake Zurich turnovers to score touchdowns, plus forced a safety. That's 23 of the 30 points triggered, if not scored outright, by the defense.
Matt Domer scored the first of his two touchdowns on a 1-yard plunge two plays after Nick Johnson hit Lake Zurich punt returner Sean Lynch, forcing a fumble on the Bears 33 that Justin Peebles returned to the Lake Zurich 6. It was 7-0 3:04 into the game, and Domer's 2-yard run four plays after Bob Brophy recovered Bears quarterback Noah Allgood's fumble, it was 14-0. There was 1:16 left in the first quarter, but in reality, it was over.
"The turnovers set the tempo for the entire game," Caravan coach Frank Lenti said. "It was just like last week (at Edwardsville)."
There, Mount Carmel pounced early, with 21 points in the first quarter of a 34-7 rout. This wasn't identical, but close enough to procure a 12th state championship, and the 11th with Lenti at the helm. Both are state records.
"Our goal is to win the day and send the other team's fans home early," Lenti said.
That seemed to work. It was 21-0 at the half, Christian Searles hauling in a 21-yard pass from Marko Boricich midway through the second quarter. Steve Richardson's sack of Allgood in the Lake Zurich end zone with 3:22 left in the third quarter made it 23-0, and the Bears fans began to make for the parking lots. The final blow was a 3-yard toss from Boricich to Brendan Griffin with 8:16 to play.
That, and the shutdown defense that authored six shutouts this season, including two in the last three weeks, took care of things before about 14,000 fans, a number that dwindled considerably on the west side, where Lake Zurich's fans were stationed. The Caravan crowd never budged.
Domer finished with 176 yards in 35 carries, giving him 1,475 yards and 16 rushing touchdowns this season. Boricich's two touchdowns gave him 15 for the season on 55 completions. And Richardson, ticketed for Minnesota, collected three more tackles for loss, giving him a season total of 32, worth 104 yards.
Lenti, mindful of the players he's had in the past, wasn't about to call this his best defense, only one that would be in the team picture. But the common thread that ties the Caravan teams together from past to present, he wasn't bashful about mentioning.
"Toughness has to transcend the talent we have," Lenti said after career victory No. 339, which extended his state record.
"Every time we get a shutout, it's extra special," Connolly said. "Especially to end it."

I picked up the first two parts of Batman Beyond mini today— so good.
By Thomas Radcliffe
Needs more Old Man Bruce grumbling in his chair about kids these days back at Wayne Manor.
Had a lot of fun doing this, went pretty quickly. I would say and hour to draw and ink, and then 30 or so minutes to color up.
- Matt
This is sweet.
(via comicroyale)
The Batman Beyond Animated Series will be released as a complete set! How I loved all the Batman animated series shows. It will come out on November 23rd for about $100 and will be DVD only (which doesn't really matter because you can't tell the difference on most animated shows, especially old ones).
Warner Home Video has announced a 9-disc Batman Beyond: The Complete Series for November 23rd. Retail will be around $99.98. The Limited Edition set includes all 52 episodes, as well as creator commentaries, season retrospectives, a bonus 9th disc with 95 minutes of new special features (including a Secret Origin The Story of DC Comics Documentary and 3 new featurettes), and a booklet featuring art from the DC archives.
This is awesome news! :D

Silent Parade
The Silent Parade (or Silent Protest) was a march of between 8,000 and 10,000 African-Americans on July 28, 1917 in New York City. The purpose of the parade was to protest lynching and anti-black violence. The parade was precipitated by the East St. Louis Riots in May and July 1917, when between 40 and 250 blacks were killed by white mobs.
The Silent Parade was organized by W. E. B. Du Bois and the NAACP. They hoped to influence president Woodrow Wilson to carry through on his election promises to African-American voters to implement anti-lynching legislation, and promote black causes. Wilson did not do so, and repudiated his promises, and federal discrimination increased during Wilson's presidency.[1]
It was the first parade of its kind in New York, and the second instance of blacks publicly demonstrating for civil rights.[2]

- ^ Lewis, W. E. B. Du Bois: A Biography (2009), p 352.
The first was picketing against The Birth of a Nation.

Entity Framework Code First Migrations enable changes to your model to be propagated to your database through code. Prior to the introduction of migrations, changes to the model resulted in the database being recreated from scratch with attendant loss of data. During development, this may not cause too many problems, but once the database has been deployed into production, it's another story. Migrations solve the problem in that changes are applied to the database schema without loss of data.

Vestibular & Balance Rehabilitation
View a video
Accelerated Rehabilitation Centers' Vestibular & Balance Rehabilitation Program involves a comprehensive evaluation and individualized treatment approach for patients suffering from dizziness and imbalance. This type of rehabilitation focuses on problems originating from the vestibule of the inner ear. The vestibule, along with vision and sensation, are the three systems used to maintain balance. When problems occur in one or more of these systems, the result is dizziness or imbalance.
Using a team approach, our specially-trained therapists use a combination of physical and occupational therapy techniques to diagnose and treat vestibular and balance disorders. Clinical experience shows that vestibular rehabilitation has success rates as high as 90%.
The first step in our Vestibular & Balance Rehabilitation Program is determining the extent of the disorder. The Accelerated therapist performs a thorough evaluation, which includes:
- History of the onset of symptoms
- Identification of risk factors
- Balance, coordination and agility testing
- Gait and stance evaluation
- Occular examination
- Positional or maneuver-induced assessment
- Review of medical conditions, lifestyle, and individual needs
Based on the results of the evaluation, we develop a customized treatment program that is designed to return you to daily activities and independent function.
More specifically, the plan of care may include:
- Canalith repositioning maneuvers
- Habituation exercises
- Balance and gait training
- Compensation adaptations and strategies
- Exercises for gaze stability
- Environmental and home modifications to reduce fall risks
- Manual therapy to cervical spine and paravertebral musculature
- Recommendations for compensatory activity modifications

Without getting too technical, there are actually two types of bipolar disorder. The one we're most familiar with is the one where people are happy and then get depressed. Cowboys fans suffer from this one predominantly. We can see them change moods during the course of a game:
kmp77 said: So the team from the last few years shows up today. People still think Garrett is the answer? And why is this defense acting the same as the last few years? And where is Ware….people say he doesn't disappear.
Sufferers will even disavow the team during the context of one, single football game in the beginning of the season:
dallascbfan said: no for real, I ain't joking and this is not funny anymore. Every week they gotta find a way to f* it up
I'm sure this goes against the Institutional Review Board, if FanSided has such a thing, but if you really want an example of a Cowboys fan with bipolar disorder, read the post history of this original poster. It's worth the ten-day wait to have your account authenticated.


text: Posted Online: Dec. 27, 2012, 10:00 pm Parker-led Simeon slams Panthers at Pontiac Comment on this story By Marc Nesseler, email@example.com PONTIAC — One last Pontiac Holiday Tournament for the United Township Panthers. But not before one last domination by Chicago Simeon and now-Duke-bound Jabari Parker. UT coach Marc Polite confirmed after Simeon's 77-20 rout in the first round of the tournament on Thursday that the Panthers next year will be in the Pekin Holiday Tournament field instead. Not, though, before being Parker fodder for a second straight year — last year in the second round and this year on day one. It was Parker's first game since committing to the No. 1-ranked Duke Blue Devils, and he sure put on a show for the sold-out Pontiac gymnasium crowd. The 6-foot-8 senior made 7-of-9 field goals, 4-of-5 free throws and 2-of-4 3-pointers, to finish with 20 points and eight rebounds. Oh, and three monstrous two-handed slam dunks as the fans' appetizer. "I've seen him since he was a freshman," said Polite, "but what surprised me the most was how big he is. He was next to (UT assistant coach) David Robinson, who is 6-6, and he was towering over David. I said to David, 'Just how big IS he?'" What Parker also did is handle a pack of media postgame with aplomb. "We want to play every possession hard," Parker said when asked how the Wolverines handled the obvious mismatch with 2-10 UTHS going in. "We want to play every team as if it's at state. We try to challenge ourselves." More of a challenge will come as the Wolverines move down the Pontiac Tournament trail. This one was just a teaser. Simeon was up 5-0 just 50 seconds into the game and did so with a Parker slam dunk, a Jaylon Tate steal and a Parker assist to a Kendrick Nunn slam. Tate and Nunn (5-of-8 field-goal shooting for 13 points) both are University of Illinois-bound. That was just the start of the lopsided stat chart. UT shot 17 percent from the field, 8-for-48; Simeon was 54 percent, 28-of-52. Simeon went to the line 26 times, making 18; UT didn't shoot a single free throw. Simeon had four turnovers at halftime, UT 17. The Wolverines led 43-10 at the half. Even if only Simeon slam dunks counted, it would have been tied at 10 at halftime, with Parker getting three and Nunn a pair, all of them getting oohs and aahs as if they were runway model material. "It was a combination of a lot of things," Polite understatingly said of the teams' comparison. "We knew, before we got here, that it would come to a point where we would see the top of the top of the top in the tournament in the first two rounds. Last year, it was the second round with Simeon; this year it was the first round. "Still, I'm proud of my kids. They fought and they battled. They just couldn't make shots." Deveric Rogers led the Panthers with 13 points. Tops on the boards was Cody Vroman with a half-dozen. "We'll just refocus for our next game," which will be at 6 tonight in the consolation bracket. Lose that game and the Panthers will hit the end of the tournament run. Unlike most of the other tournaments around the state, that's the way it is at Pontiac. UT plans to fix that in 2013 as Pekin awaits.

Report shows where CFC pledges go
February 25th, 2014 | OPM | Posted by Sean Reilly
By all accounts, pledges to the 2013 Combined Federal Campaign are going to be down by tens of millions of dollars in comparison with the 2012 CFC. This is, of course, money that mostly goes to charities. But which charities benefit from federal employee giving (and could thus see a falloff in contributions)?
The Office of Personnel Management does not collect that information. Instead, the Workplace Giving Alliance, a Massachusetts-based coalition of CFC federations, decided to do the job on its own, compiling pledge information for the last three years from most local campaigns and then extrapolating to fill in the gaps.
In a report released a few months ago, here's what the group found: Among national and international charities, the biggest CFC beneficiary in the 2012 season was the American Red Cross, which received more than $7 million in pledges. Runner-up was St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, which got about $6.7 million, following by the Wounded Warrior Project, with about $5 million. In general, health, religious, veterans, education and animal-related charities did well; you can read the full report here.

That's not exactly where the money goes. Most of it goes to administration and advertising, to salaries, parties, dinners, ballgames for associates, and a large amount just simploy disappears into various financial accounting black holes that OPM Inspector Generall accountant/auditors are far too uneducated to understand. That's why charity administrators, particularly at Children's Charities openly mock them when they appear to conduct a "Mcfarland" audit. It's interesting to see the Red Cross listed as the largest recipient of CFC charity funds. If you will remember 9/11. the Red Cross was unable to account for the use of tens of millions of dollars of donor contributions. And in the CFC days of Oral Suer, United Giving Campaign Coordinator, so many millions disappeared into property, lavish homes, boats, and cars while OPM squeezed the last penny out of it's agency capos. OPM and it's IG are both incompetent and corrupt.

"Michelle Maguire is paying $950 a month to park her RV in a farmers' field two miles out of town – and that's considered reasonable. Camper parking spots, with no utilities, rent for up to $1,400. Still it's painful when she considers the farmer is making about $100,000 a year renting out parking spaces, and that she is paying as much to keep her family of four in a 44-ft trailer as she is to hang on to the family home in Montana. Milk is $6 a gallon, a shower at the local truck stop costs $10."
There's an oil boom in North Dakota right now equivalent to the California Gold Rush of 1849.

The Frost Blaze is a passive mob with an AI similar to a Zombie Pigman. It will not attack or purposefully come closer to the player. It is invisible except for a small tell-tale dot of bright concentrated light.
Although the Frost Blaze is passive, players are not advised to come within 8 blocks of it.
> If a player comes within 8 blocks of the Frost Blaze, the player has entered its Cold Zone (roughly within the cyan line above). The screen will grow slightly blue-tinged and the player will begin taking damage at a rate of one point per second (which is half a heart per second, similar to that taken when in contact with a cactus but without armor damage).
> If a player comes within 1 block of the Frost Blaze, they exit the Cold Zone and enter the concentrated Heat Zone (roughly within the red line above). The player will catch fire and take damage at four points per half second (two hearts per half second) which is the same as contact with lava. (However, stepping away from the 1 Heat Zone and back into the Cold Zone's range will extinguish the fire just as jumping into water does)
In addition to how it affects the player, all fires are put out if the Frost Blaze comes close enough that they fall into the Cold Zone (Torches remain unaffected)
If the Frost Blaze is hit by the player or a projectile fired by the player, it becomes visible (though somewhat transparent), and aggressive.
> Hitting a Frost Blaze only causes the one that took damage to become aggressive. Using an indirect method to harm them (such as dumping water which damages them at the same rate as normal blazes are damaged) does not cause them to become aggressive.
> The Heat Zone expands to encompass three blocks around the Frost Blaze, as is now marked by a slightly less bright ring of light, and the damage taken for entering that zone remains equal to that of Lava.
> The Cold Zone remains set at 8 blocks around the Frost Blaze, but the damage taken by entering it doubles (two points, or a full heart per second, equal to that of drowning).
> If the player is in the Cold Zone when the Frost Blaze is aggressive, the player will move at a speed similar to walking on soulsand. Player speed is unaffected by the Cold Zone when the Frost Blaze is passive.
> The Frost Blaze will fire white-colored fireballs that do 1 point more damage (one half a heart) more damage than a regular blaze's fireball regardless of difficulty setting. They will also pursue the player with the same AI as a regular blaze.
> The Frost Blaze cannot fire fireballs very frequently, it is limited to one fireball every three seconds. Most damage dealt by the Frost Blaze is through proximity, making the most efficient way to fight them archery or other projectiles.
> Unlike a regular blaze, a Frost Blaze does not show fire or smoke after becoming aggressive.
> The Frost Blaze is incredibly rare, and only occurs when a regular blaze takes explosion damage (ghast fireball, creeper, or tnt) or when a regular blaze passes through a nether portal and into the overworld.
> Frost Blazes are blue, somewhat transparent, and are larger than normal blazes.
It occurred to me at some point that cold doesn't really exist, in the same way that shadow does not really exist. Rather, both of those things are an absence. Cold is the absence of heat in the same way that shadow is the absence of light.
The Frost Blaze creates an extreme cold all around it, purely because it pulls all heat into itself, leaching it from the land (or the players) around it - which is also why coming close enough does extreme heat damage.
It's overpowered because it's the blaze version of the charged creeper, and because it comes from the nether. So… stronger than usual, and crazy strong (like the pigmen when they swarm on you) just because.
As for why they're invisible until aggressive? Good question. Not really sure… because it sounded cool to me? To tempt the player to hit it?

The Kansas City Chiefs will host the San Diego Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium on Halloween Night for Monday Night Football in what is being dubbed (by me) the "Monday Night Nightmare."
Hopefully the nightmare will belong to the Chargers. Here are my five keys to victory for Kansas City.
-Romeo, Oh Romeo
The sexiest defensive coordinator in the league needs to keep doing his thing this week. The Chiefs D appeared shell-shocked after losing Eric Berry but since then, save for one unfocused held against the juggernaut Colts, the KC D has been solid.
That is primarily thanks to Romeo Crennel and his knack for confusing QB's. What Crennel has been able to do with a group of safeties made up of Kendrick Lewis, Jon McGraw, Donald Washington and "Shabby" Sabby Piscitellie is nothing short of remarkable. Lewis is the best of the group but he is no Eric Berry. Crennel has found a way to maximize what each player does well and he's gotten them on the field in situations where they are most likely to succeed.
Crennel is greatly aided by the talent he still has on the corners in Brandon Flowers and Brandon Carr. Since he can trust them to be on an island more often than not, he's able to make up for shortcomings in other areas.
Crennel is a master at disguising his coverages to confuse and frustrate QBs. He did it to Peyton Manning for years and he has had success doing the same against Philip Rivers. The Chargers QB is struggling a bit this season. If Crennel has his way, those struggles will continue Sunday.
-Keep Airing It Out Early
The Chiefs have struggled to run the ball early all season long. The emergence of Jackie Battle has changed that a bit but KC's strength lies in the passing game. The threat of Dwayne Bowe, Steve Breaston and now Jon Baldwin should force defenses to back off if the Chiefs come out throwing. KC employed this strategy early against the Raiders and while they didn't have a stellar offensive day, they still set themselves up for success. Matt Cassel stayed on his feet all day and was able to lead a couple of touchdown drives when the Chiefs needed them.
-Pound Them Late
I still believe Todd Haley's preseason conditioning program was a mistake. I think a more balanced approach might have better served the Chiefs in those early games.
That being said, I am starting think that the emphasis on conditioning may be paying off a bit now. The Chiefs are not a power run blocking team. They're designed to be blocking for guys like Jamaal Charles and Dexter McCluster who can zip through a crease, not guys like Jackie Battle who need a big hole.
But late in games, I can't deny that the Chiefs look like they are out-muscling their opponents. Early in games, however, the running game seems less effective.
I think the Chiefs may have noticed this as well and I think that may be why we saw a lot of Dexter McCluster early in last week's game against the Raiders. As the game wore on, however, the Chiefs brought out their Battle-Axe to help grind away at the Raiders defense.
The Chargers have been a poor second half team all season. They've also struggled against the run. If the Chiefs can get a lead or keep things close, they should be able to grind away at the Chargers worn-out defense late in the game.
If this trend keeps up and the Chiefs keep smoking teams in the fourth quarter, Todd Haley is going to start looking more and more like a mad scientist.
And the unabomber.
-Stay Strong Up Front
Right now the biggest strength of the Chargers offense is the running game. Both Ryan Mathews and Mike Tolber (if he plays) present problems for any D. Both can run and both can catch the ball out of the backfield.
The last time these teams played, the KC front seven did a pretty good job of keeping the Chargers running game in check. The Chargers gained only 117 yards on 30 carries. If KC can do that again they will have a very good shot at winning this one.
-Get The Ball To Breaston
That is not a misprint.
Of course the game plan should always be to get the ball to Dwayne Bowe, but Breaston is sneaky goo with the ball in his hands. The Chargers are likely going to spend a lot of time focusing on Bowe. They're also planning on starting a rookie by the name of Gilchrist. Breaston figures to be lined up across from the young buck often Sunday and the Chiefs need to take advantage.
Breaston is so good at faking defenders out of their shoes to get himself open. There is a good chance he could terrorize the rookie if Cassel can get him the ball. The Chiefs need to attack this match up early and often. If they do, Breaston could have a monster Halloween.
Alright, Addicts, those are my five keys to victory. What are yours?

Romanticism and Postromanticism

moreClaudia Moscovici asserts in Romanticism and Postromanticism that the Romantic heritage, far from being important only in a historical sense, has philosophical relevance and value for contemporary art and culture. With an emphasis on artistic tradition as a continuing source of inspiration and innovation, she touches upon each main branch of philosophy: aesthetics, epistemology, and ethics. The book begins by describing some of the most interesting features of the Romantic movement that still fuel our culture. It then addresses the question: How did an artistic movement whose focus was emotive expression change into a quest for formal experimentation? And finally, Moscovici considers the aesthetic philosophy of postromanticism by thinking through how the Romantic emphasis upon beauty and passion can be combined with the modern and postmodern emphasis on originality and experimentation. less

You mis-read the legalese.
"It shall be unlawful for any person within the United States"
Define within the United States. The person, the server, the provider or all three. I don't believe it's misread it's
to the letter of the law. So again step by step...
"It shall be unlawful for any person within the United States, in connection with any telecommunications service or
VOIP service..."
1) Teleco/VoIP service is out of bounds here. 2) The User who initiated the command is logged from an address somewhere
over the rainbow (Tor+Privoxy). 3) "within the United States" which? The person, or the telco/VoIP provider? Does it
have to be both - person and provider. Sounds broad to me.
Can't be single sided here. So I decide to offer a service to say rape victims who want to remain anonymous, a victim
decides to use "Jane Smith" <2035551212>, she is calling from say the British Virgin Islands where she was raped by a
congressman. She doesn't want her identity known, but would like counseling over the phone. 1) She is in the British
Virgin Islands so technically she is not breaking the law. 2) Me being the provider, I didn't initiate the spoof, I
provided a service. Should I be held accountable for upholding the right to privacy? 3) Sure caller ID blocking could
have been used, it still could be traced.
Let's take the case of someone blowing the whistle on government corruption. History has shown their life will be
ruined. This is a great avenue worry free to make a report yet at the same time if I decided to set my caller ID as
that of the White House, I'm sure I can con a reporter to report something bogus. Dual edged sword. What will be next
outlawing telco service unless it passes through DCS100 along with a photo and fingerprint at Fort Meade.

ASIA/MYANMAR - New law on religious freedom? The Church disagrees
Yangon (Agenzia Fides) - The President of Myanmar, Thein Sein, has asked Parliament to review the draft of a new law on religious freedom: the measure - which should serve to protect the Muslim minority, victims of violence - limits interfaith marriages and conversions from one faith to another, prohibits polygamy and promotes birth control. Parliament and the various ministers will assess the draft and will discuss it in May.
As Fides learns, Thein Sein's proposal arises from a petition filed by the Buddhist monks movement and signed by more than 1.3 million people with the aim of "protecting the race and religion of the majority Buddhist nation". The promoter group is the well-known "Movement 969", violent and intolerant, which has been organizing concrete demonstrations of hatred and violence against Burmese Muslims for months, accused of being a threat to the country.
The bill has found political and religious dissent. Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of the "National League for Democracy", criticized the proposal, saying it discriminates against women and violates human rights and personal freedoms.
In a note sent to Fides, His Exc. Mgr. Charles Maung Bo, Archbishop of Yangon, disagreed with the proposal, asking the state "not to interfere with the individual right to choose one's own religion". The law, he says, "limits religious freedom in Myanmar at a time when citizens are gaining freedom in other areas. Conversion is a matter of conscience, that no one can coerce". The law, providing for restrictions on interfaith marriages, "would undermine the free decision of a woman to start a family". The Archbishop, recalling the prejudices and the hate campaign waged against Muslims Burmese, exhorts religious harmony. The constitution of Myanmar assigns a "special position" to Buddhism as the faith professed by the majority of the population, but also recognizes other religions such as Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and animism.

"For the most part, the lanes will be open Friday. You will be traveling freely through there".
Kimberly Larson of the Georgia Department of Transportation has the good news all Macon commuters have wanted to hear. She informed local commuters that the traffic on Interstate 75 will finally improve, "For the most part the lanes will be open tomorrow; you will be traveling freely through there."
Interstate 75, Macon's biggest traffic artery, has seen some of the area's worst congestion in the last several years due to the ongoing construction.It all began in June of 20-10. That's when the Georgia department of transportation set to widen the interstate for better safety. The plan included adding lanes to both directions of traffic and installing new signals to both Arkwright and riverside drive, to accommodate the exit 169 off and on ramps.
Kelvin Bryson is all too familiar; he works at the Mc Donald's parallel to the new ramp."The traffic in the morning be really congested and I have to take another route. Sometimes they have it cut off when their working on it and it messes me up so I have to take the interstate instead of driving down Arkwright."
Some wonder why install new traffic lights coinciding with construction. Jon Martin, who's lived in Macon for more than ten years, says "better now than never".
"You have to make a decision on the greater good. I certainly like being able to go in get the project done put in your lights and move forward.

I agree, that would be a terrible UI.
So the thing is that if Nping is compiled without OpenSSL
Remember that this is a rare situation, so we don't need to
over-optimise for it. The Nmap Windows, Mac, and Linux binaries we
distribute all include SSL, and I imagine that most Linux
distributions include SSL support in their Nmap package as well. And
users who compile from source will get SSL as long as they have SSL

is also a bit counter-intuitive.
nping --echo-client "unused_passphrase" echo.nmap.org --no-crypto
Well, they'd probably just run: nping --echo-client "" --no-crypto echo.nmap.org
Yes, the "" argument is a little annoying, but OK if we document it.
1. Make the passphrase an optional parameter and make users supply the
hostname before "--echo-client" or "--echo-server".
I agree with you that this is unacceptable.
2. Leave it as a mandatory parameter and just warn the user if
"--no-crypto" was not supplied and there is no OpenSSL.
Maybe we should give an error and quit rather than just warn. Users
might not notice the warning (especially if they run the server and/or
client with a script) and could end up way more exposed than they
expect. If both the client and server have no SSL, the program could
continue working but without the security they expected when they gave
a passphrase.
Also, right now the Nping man page suggests using --no-crypto for
public echo servers. We might suggest using the empty passphrase ("")
for this instead. That way the client users don't have to always
remember to pass --no-crypto. We don't really want to get them in
that habit anyway.

This is awesome, this kid ran up on stage while the Pope was giving a speech and wouldn't leave. Pope Francis let him hang out and even sit in his chair.
I'm a former Roman Catholic; I became a practicing Continuing Anglican on my own when I was 15 and seeking the balance between liturgical tradition and Biblical truth. I have to say, I think Pope Francis is the first Pope in a very long time to truly embody the spirit of Christ. He really lives up to his papal name in his humility and compassion. I hope he brings more Biblical truth into Roman Catholic Church doctrine, because I really look forward to the Christian body being united again. I think the Continuing Anglican Church in America, although a small group, has found a really lovely balance between early church tradition and Biblical teaching, and I I really believe that, under Pope Francis's guidance, the Roman Catholic Church can do the same.
