In Milne, Étale cohomology, it is proved that $\mathrm{Br}(X) = H^2(X,\mathbf{G}_m)$ for $X$ regular of dimension $\leq 2$. Are there in the meantime further results for $X$ regular?
When $X$ is quasi-projective over an affine scheme (or more generally if $X$ has an ample [EDIT: invertible] sheaf), then its Brauer group is isomorphic to the torsion part of $H^2(X, {\mathbb G}_m)$. This is an unpublished result of Gabber, and J. de Jong wrote down a different proof.
Dear norondion: It appears to me from your comments to Qing Liu's answer that you are interested in when this cohomological Brauer group is actually $0$. If that is true, then these two related MO questions (and Emerton's answer to one of them) may be of interest:
Flat cohomology and Picard groups.
(Of course, the punctured spectrum of a regular local ring is a regular scheme. Also, you can probably get some statements for projective $X$ by looking at the local ring of the cone over $X$). My apology if this is not relevant.

General Discussion
Alport syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by progressive kidney disease and abnormalities of the ears and eyes. There are three genetic types. X-linked Alport syndrome (XLAS) is the most common; in these families affected males typically have more severe disease than affected females. In autosomal recessive Alport syndrome (ARAS) the severity of disease in affected males and females is similar. There is also an autosomal dominant form (ADAS) which affects males and females with equal severity. The hallmark of the disease is the appearance of blood in the urine (hematuria) early in life, with progressive decline in kidney function (kidney insufficiency) that ultimately results in kidney failure, especially in affected males. About 50% of untreated males with XLAS develop kidney failure by age 25, increasing to 90% by age 40 and nearly 100% by age 60. Females with XLAS usually do not develop kidney insufficiency until later in life. They may not develop kidney insufficiency or failure at all, but the risk increases as they grow older. Both males and females with ARAS develop kidney failure, often in the teen-age years or early adulthood. ADAS tends to be a slowly progressive disorder in which renal insufficiency does not develop until well into adulthood. Individuals with Alport syndrome can also develop progressive hearing loss of varying severity and abnormalities of the eyes that usually do not result in impaired vision. XLAS is caused by mutations in the COL4A5 gene. ARAS is caused by mutations in both copies of either the COL4A3 or the COL4A4 gene. ADAS caused by mutations in one copy of the COL4A3 or COL4A4 gene. Alport syndrome is treated symptomatically and certain medications can potentially delay the progression of kidney disease and the onset of kidney failure. Ultimately, in many cases, a kidney transplant is required.
The disease we now know as Alport syndrome was first described in the British medical literature in the early years of the 20th century. In 1927 Dr. Cecil Alport published a paper describing the association of kidney disease and deafness in affected individuals. Many additional cases were described in the literature and the disorder was named after Dr. Alport in 1961. Alport syndrome is often discussed with a related disorder known as thin basement membrane nephropathy (TBMN). Many cases of TBMN are caused by different mutations in the same genes that cause the autosomal recessive and dominant forms of Alport syndrome. TBMN is characterized by persistent microscopic blood in the urine (hematuria) in a similar pattern as seen in individuals with Alport syndrome. However, unlike Alport syndrome, TBMN is rarely associated with symptoms outside of the kidney (extrarenal abnormalities) and additional kidney findings such as protein in the urine (proteinuria), high blood pressure (hypertension), kidney insufficiency, and kidney failure rarely develop. It is extremely important to distinguish these disorders from one another because TBMN is much more common and a much milder disorder. The spectrum of disease that includes TBMN and Alport syndrome is sometimes referred to as collagen IV-related nephropathies. For more information on TBMN see the Related Disorders section of this report.

Moyes to Replace Ferguson With United
Manchester United named David Moyes (pictured above) as its new manager on Thursday, a day after Alex Ferguson announced his retirement.
Moyes, who has spent the last 11 seasons at Everton, had been widely tipped to be his successor, despite never winning a major trophy as a manager. Highly recommended by Ferguson to the United board, Moyes will join Manchester United on July 1 with a six-year contract.
"When we discussed the candidates that we felt had the right attributes we unanimously agreed on David Moyes," Ferguson said in a statement.

Confused by IEP, IDEA, and 504
Q: IEP, IDEA, and 504 - I'm confused! My son was identified with dyslexia in December 2000 and received special services for the remainder of the school year. Now I want to make sure he has all the help he needs in place. How do I know what and where he is covered? I want to know what I'm doing before I approach the school.
A: It is confusing! IDEA and Section 504 have a similar purpose -- to protect disabled persons from discrimination -- but they differ in many respects. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is the new version of an earlier law, The Education of All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 (Public Law 94-142). This law requires state education agencies to provide appropriate services for disabled children from birth to 21 years of age.
In order to be eligible for special education under IDEA, the child has to meet the criteria for eligibility in one of the eligibility categories in the law. These include: serious emotional disturbance, learning disabilities, retardation, traumatic brain injury, autism, vision and hearing impairments, physical disabilities, and other health impairments. If the child meets the criteria of one or more of these categories, requires special education or related services, and his or her disability adversely affects educational performance, the child may be eligible to receive services.
Although ADHD is not one of the categories for service, children can receive special education or related services under the category "other health impaired." If your child has been diagnosed with dyslexia, he would probably be given services under the "learning disabled" category. Once the child is classified, an Individual Education Plan (IEP) is generated that lists goals and objectives for that child as well as a way of tracking progress within the designated program. Parent input is critical during the IEP process.
Many children who do not meet the criteria for IDEA may receive accommodations under another law, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. That law requires public-school districts to provide a free, appropriate public education to every "qualified handicapped person" residing within their jurisdiction. If the child is found to have impairments that substantially limit a major life activity (in this case, learning) the education agency has to decide what related aids or services are required to provide equal access to the learning environment. The law states that the child's education must be provided in the regular classroom with supplementary aids and services if at all possible. The school or school district generates a Section 504 Accommodation Plan every year that outlines the child's needs and exactly what accommodations/modifications are requested.
An excellent, comprehensive resource you might want to look at is Lawrence M. Siegel's The Complete IEP Guide: How to Advocate for Your Special Ed Child. Siegel walks parents through the entire IEP process and provides excellent resources for more information about the legal safeguards for children with special needs.

7 Viral Videos You Didn't Know Were Staged (and How They Did It)
#1. Angry German Kid
A teenager sits down at his computer for a session of Unreal Tournament, but his mind is so ravaged by ADHD and a childhood of violent video games that he has been turned into some kind of snarling, rabid animal:
This is the kind of video that the old media loves to put front and center. TV news segments and commentators the world over have played this thing while rapt, middle-aged audiences watch all of their worst fears about the Grand Theft Auto generation play out in under four minutes.
Their attention made this one of the biggest viral hits of all time. Combine all the various versions, remixes and parodies and Angry German Kid is up in Soulja Boy territory, with views in the tens of millions. There are blockbuster movies that didn't command the audience this kid did with this one, terrifying tantrum.
Sample comments:
"Omg, he need a help!!"
"i hate mother fucking german kids. goddamn it i hope they all die."
"It's real. A German parent set up a hidden camera to show the doctors thier childs violent mood swings as well as explain why the computer keeps getting torn apart. Trying to blame video games I guess."
The Evidence:
The story repeated in that last comment, the one about the father that secretly set up the camera to capture his son's out-of-control behavior, is the one you most often see tacked onto the video (athough another variation is that he himself left it on, which is the one PC World went with in their coverage). Both of these stories appear to have been created purely to make the video scarier.
After all, it would be supremely uninteresting to find out, for instance, that the kid has made many videos, all of which feature him playing some goofy exaggerated character. Well, too bad, because that's the truth.
The kid (often referred to as "Leopold" but his name has generally been kept out of the press since he's a minor) made the video in the wake of Germany's own violent video games controversy, when lawmakers were campaigning to restrict their sale. Leopold did his impression of the politician's worst nightmare, slamming around the keyboard and laughing maniacally as he killed opponents.
Germany's Focus TV saw the clip, and got permission from the kid to use it on the air. Leopold and his father then watched as the TV show manufactured a backstory--the one about the father secretly recording his bloodthirsty, ADHD son--which then followed the clip as it swept across the web. Holy crap, maybe we owe Fox News an apology.
Once the clip reached English-speaking audiences, even more of the context was stripped away since all they got was incoherent, enraged babble. If you get a correctly subtitled version, on the other hand, and watch it all the way through, the joke becomes fairly obvious (See the bit with the lost Escape key and him telling his opponent to eat his "melted shit").
The person who uploaded that video has edited all this backstory into the "About" section, including links to this interview with the kid himself (translated clumsily by Google), telling a depressing tale of just how much abuse he's taken since he became a worldwide symbol for what out-of-control little monsters modern teenagers are.
Ask yourself this: if Leopold hadn't been faking and was, in fact, prone to fits of wild gamer rage, would you feel more comfortable leaving the future to him, or to people like the journalists who exploited him? If given the choice we think we'd have to turn to the journalists, look them in the eye and say, "Eat his shit, journalists. In fact, eat his melted shit."

Delightful warm welcome and stay, very comfortable bed and room, nice and peaceful. Thanks so much Angie. Sue.
I couldn't be happier with the room, service, and great friendliness that Angie showed in helping me with bus routes, sorting out some general details of my trip, and just general conversation. Extremely comfortable bed, by the way - slept very well. I would absolutely recommend a stay with Angie for anyone visiting Edinburgh. Also, it is a pretty easy trip to the city center by bus. Enid Eng
We had a really goof time! Angie is really helpful and friendly. Public transport is close to the house, so you can get into the city very quick. Facilities were really clean. All you can ask for.
Angie is an excellent host, friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately our English is so limited and Spanish null prevented us communicate what we wanted. The house is nice and very, very clean. the room is comfortable, great bed and very good internet connection. Homer, his cat, loved it.
Angie es una excelente anfitriona, simpática y acogedora. Lamentablemente nuestro inglés es tan limitado y su español nulo que nos impidió comunicarnos lo que deseábamos.
La casa es agradable y muy, muy limpia. la habitación es cómoda, la cama estupenda y la conexión a internet muy buena.
Homer, su gato, me encantó.
I had an amazing time with Angie - a great person and very relaxed host. I'd always come back because it felt like being at home. It is clean and there is just everything you need, the bed is super cosy, the house is nice and warm and you have an easy access to the city centre.
I will miss the funny evenings with her and the cute little Homer but it was for sure not the last time we met :)
Stayed with Angie in July. Comfortable house, great bed, easy access to town. Angie a lovely person, highly recommend Angie's place, especially for a single person.
I stayed with Angie for two nights. The room (and bed!) was very comfortable and clean. Angie was very helpful and welcoming. Good value. Thanks, Angie!
I had a very nice time and felt like home from the first moment. Angie is a very warm, friendly, and funny person, unfortunately we had not so much time with each other. But I hope the next time ;0). The House is beautifully decorated and the bed was a dream :0D. I can tell absolutely nothing bad, you feel welcome and comfortable!!! And Homer ( the Cat ) the little charmer. Stole my heart :0*. Miss it already, and say thank you for all. And hope to see again soon. Many many greetings
This is my first trip overseas where I got the experience to stay with local.
The host, Angie has been great n friendly.
I would recommend anybody who is going to Edinburgh to stay with Angie.

I accidentally punched these on the ceiling while moving stuff around. They're around half a centimeter in diameter, and the ceiling seems to be plaster.
How can I mask/cover these up the most subtly?
Half a centimeter? In that case, spackle, sand, and paint. They make color changing spackle (pink to white) so you know when it's dry. Apply with a flat edge (e.g. a putty knife). Don't oversand, just enough to knock any rough edges off. And since the paint has an orange peel look, use a small roller for the touch-up.
Can't tell if it's a straight orange-peel or a knockdown texture. Either way, BMitch's spackle-sand-paint procedure is the way to go, possibly with a little extra texturing to make it not immediately evident there's been a repair.

Affordable Care Act & the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
Affordable Care Act & the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) was developed to achieve better health outcomes in the United States by increasing the number of insured Americans, reducing care costs, and improving the overall American health care system. To achieve that, major changes are under way in both the health insurance marketplace (eg, reforms in insurance laws, expansion of Medicaid eligibility) and the health care delivery system (eg, through investigation of new ways to fund and deliver care). These changes will expand care options for everyone, including people living with HIV/AIDS who receive care from the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program.
See our ever-growing collection of ACA Tools on Enrollment, Assessing Health Plans, Contracting with Health Plans, Billing, Planning, and more.
The following ACA Learning Modules both explain ACA and present implementation ideas for Ryan White agencies and consumers, which were generated from grantee presentations on health care reform at the 2012 Ryan White Grantee Meeting, HRSA/HAB leadership, and HIV/AIDS and health reform leaders. Complementing the Learning Modules are technical assistance tools in the TARGET Center's Health Care Reform topic page as well as HRSA's Ryan White and the Affordable Care Act: What You Need to Know and ACA. Grantees and consumers are urged to share their implementation tools.
Learn about Reform
A basic understanding of ACA will help individuals and agencies understand what reform is all about--the importance of being insured, types of coverage options, and changes underway in health care delivery.
Participate in the Marketplace Process
Many decisions have been made about Marketplaces, like specific requirements for coverage and approval of health insurance plans. However, Marketplaces will be adjusted over time, presenting new opportunities for consumers and agencies to provide input.
Educate and Assist Your Clients
Under ACA, most individuals living with HIV/AIDS will be either eligible for Medicaid or able to purchase individual coverage in the Marketplace with access to tax credits/subsidies. Clients need to be educated (eg, about eligibility, costs, services, agencies they can go to for health care) so they can make wise decisions about their coverage. Staff (eg, benefits counselors, case managers, social workers, clinicians) need training and tools so that they can help educate clients.
Adjust Your Systems
Many health care providers will need to change their operations to adjust to the expanded third-party payer system and innovations in care delivery. Examples include enhanced third-party reimbursement systems, establishment of linkages with health insurance plans and provider networks in order to expand access to new payers, and restructuring of the agency and its services to improve care and reduce costs.
Key Websites
This page contains links to information about health care reform and ACA.
The TARGET Center's Health Care Reform topic page provides technical assistance tools and other resources for Ryan White agencies and consumers.

totemo means "very"
suki means "like"
daisuki means "like very much"
If I really like something can I use
totemo totemo daisuki desu?
Google says yes, to the tune of 1 million hits. A lot of the time it's used to describe how much you like something (とても大好きなお店). I presume that you were asking "Can you say totemo daisuki desu to someone". You can say that too (あなたがとても大好きです).
Totemo daikirai doesn't have as big a number of hits in Google.
Someone else will have to confirm this, but it sounds sort of childish. Maybe because the feeling is so strong.
Whether you can use it or not depends on the context.
I think that "totemo daisuki" is redundant and therefore it is better to use either "totemo suki" (without dai-) or "daisuki" (without totemo) when some formalness is required. However, in informal contexts, there is nothing wrong with using the redundant expression to emphasize how much you like it. Using an informal expression can sometimes even imply that you really mean it (to the extent that you do not care about avoiding redundant expressions).
The same applies to "totemo daikirai," too.

Wednesday, Microsoft announced that more than 40 providers had signed on to deliver TV programming to Xbox Live. One of those, AT&T, has been supplying content through its Uverse service for about a year, where it's been available to free subscribers. Now it will completely transition to Xbox Live Gold.
Therefore, AT&T is giving its Uverse for Xbox subscribers a $60 credit on their next bill so they can buy up a Gold subscription, reports Giant Bomb. The credit will be applied after Uverse transitions to Xbox Live Gold in November, which means subscribers are gonna pony up for a sub and then get paid back.
However, the notice doesn't discriminate between Uverse subscribers who already have a Gold subscription and those who don't. So maybe some will simply pocket the credit.

Oops, something didn't work.
Thanks, Juggs!
I am into tech Quizzing, and was gathering information for upcomming quiz on Windows Embedded CE .
If i am not wrong any fresh WinXP installation with default hardware (USB, NIC etc.)will have around 200 drivers in its system folder and out of them only half of them are frequently used! So i was curious about devices with small footprints.
BTW, Thank you once again and awesome video;)
I would look at the great presentation by Travis Horbla on Channel 9 on Porting BSPs -
Hello Sync --
Sorry for the delay in writting. It's been long since CE 6 was released but let me see if I can recall those good old days.
So, if the kernel driver services the user request on the caller's thread then it is a Synchronus call, otherwise it is an Asynchronous call. That's the simple way of finding out whether a call is Synchronus or not. An example of an Asynchronous call would be a client request on a user thread and then the driver servicing this user request on some other thread. Essentially the OS guarantees that the caller's process is mapped when the caller's thread is running and hence the kernel driver can be sure that it is accessing the correct buffer when doing so on the caller's thread.
Consequently, you have to marshal buffers if you are going to service user requests asynchronously.
Now let me answer the embedded pointer question.
Kernel drivers in CE 6.0 are fully trusted and have full access to kernel memory and kernel data structures. A malicious application can therefore pass an embedded pointer requesting the kernel driver to potentially modify kernel memory on its behalf. (It is analogous to the malicious application requesting the gun bearer - kernel driver in this case - to shot at a particular location). Kernel drivers therefore HAVE TO have to access check embedded pointers to prevent priviledge-attacks. The OS access checks first level pointers but has no knowledge of what the memory blobs contains and so it is the receipient's responsibility - the Kernel Driver's responsibility - to access check embedded pointers before using them. E
In CE 5.0, MapCallerPtr was used. In CE 6.0, you have to use CeOpenCallerBuffer and CeCloseCallerBuffer to access check pointers. Example:
struct MyStruct { UCHAR *pEmbedded; DWORD dwSize; };
Windows CE 5.0 and prior versions
// In XXX_IOControl...
MyStuct *p = ( MyStruct*) pInput;
g_pMappedEmbedded = MapCallerPtr(p->pEmbedded);
// Fail if g_pMappedEmbedded == NULL ...
Windows CE 6.0

Does having two Goblin Arsonist on the battlefield cause their ability to deal 2 damage when one dies?

No, it deals 1 damage
Whenever you see a card's own card name within the the rules text of a card, it isn't referring to all cards with that name. It is referring to itself. I believe at one point, the Oracle text replaced this self reference with ~this~ (or perhaps, the database allowed searching using "this"). You can think of the triggered ability in that way:
From the Comprehensive Rules:
If you were looking for abilities that would trigger multiple times, you need cards that trigger "Whenever a Goblin ...". These cards only care about the creature subtype in question. For example:
Two Shenanigans won't trigger off of themselves, because of the another, but both will trigger when another Goblin permanent is sent to the graveyard from the battlefield. (Note: Boggart Shenanigans will do 1 damage twice, which is not the same thing as to deal 2 damage once.)

"One of the last great person-to-person politicians," former Gov. Louie B. Nunn was laid to rest in his hometown of Park on Tuesday afternoon.
At a memorial service in his adopted hometown of Glasgow, family, friends, and political leaders from both sides of the aisle remembered the Governor as a passionate politician, caring towards his constituents, firm in his beliefs, and willing to fly in the face of conventional wisdom to do what he thought was right.
Hundreds of supporters and friends drove to Cosby Cemetery in Hart County to pay their final respects. Citizens along the funeral processions route were seen getting out of their cars to salute the South Central Kentucky native's final trip.
Nunn's political legacy continues with his son Steve, a Republican State Representative from Glasgow, and the political advice the former governor gave to candidates across the state.

Leon Hiebert was pastor of Andover Assembly of God (Generations Church A/G) from 1989 to 2009. He is a Viet Nam veteran who spent 10 years in the US Navy most of the time as a corpsman serving with the Marine Corps. A native of Belleville, Kan., Hiebert is semi retired and lives in Andover with his wife, Sharon. He is a school bus driver for USD 385, Andover, Kansas.
Scripture: Psalm 41:1 Blessed are those who have regard for the weak; the LORD delivers them in time of trouble.
2 The LORD protects and preserves them—they are counted among the blessed in the land—he does not give them over to the desire of their foes.
3 The LORD sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness. (NIV)
Observation: The weak are important to God and those who care for the weak are important to God. God considers those who help the weak as His helpers. Of course He protects and preserves them; they are doing His work. Of course He restores them to health so they can continue doing His work. (This would be like Dorcas in Acts 9:36-41 who was "always doing good and helping the poor.")
Application: I know that God is a gracious God and treats me FAR better than I could ever deserve. But still I want to live my life is such a way that God would want to restore my health. It would be to His benefit, and the benefit of others, to have me continue doing what I had been doing.
Prayer: Lord, help me to be like Dorcas. I want to please you in the way I live my daily life. May you smile and may others be blest. Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!

This question already has an answer here:
Archaeology has found many dinosaur fossils. Does the Bible have anything to say about the existence of dinosaurs?
This question already has an answer here:
Archaeology has found many dinosaur fossils. Does the Bible have anything to say about the existence of dinosaurs?
marked as duplicate by Caleb♦ Jun 19 '14 at 8:04
This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
Some commentators (such as the Institute for Creation Research) have suggested that Leviathan (otherwise a Hapax Legomenon) in Job 41 is a dinosaur. Not all agree, but it is at least "out there" as a theory.
Prior to the 1820s, dinosaurs were unknown to (modern) man[1], so it is not surprising the are not mentioned in the Bible. (Indeed, the term would have had no meaning).
If the case is that Leviathan is a dinsoaur, then we read:
Basically, they are big and strong, but God is bigger.
[1]: To be clear, most scientists believe that man was just a mouse during the age of the dinosaur, and even old earth Creationists suspect that the dinosaurs had died out in the "two days" before man. During the 1800s, I believe it was Paley who suggested that the dinosaurs must have died out shortly after the flood. A few die-hard Young Earthers (like the ICR) still advocate that, but for the most part "The Land of the Lost" is just that.
Historians believe that dinosaurs lived before humans. Therefore dinosaurs could be simply mentioned during the 2 days when God created the animals. Gen 1:20-25
God could consider dinosaurs simply animals, and there would be no reason for him to explicitly mention them.
Technically it is paleontology and not archaeology that is concerned with prehistoric fossils.
There is a (mostly) good book that deals with creation and evolution (among other things) in a complimentary way: http://www.amazon.com/Science-God-Convergence-Scientific-Biblical/dp/1439129584
There is also the Six Dawns essay which does essentially the same thing from an Orthodox perspective: http://www.scribd.com/doc/75080212/The-Six-Dawns-by-Dr-Alexander-Kalomiros
Essentially, the focus is on this particular verse:
We now know from paleontology that some sea creatures evolved into amphibians and reptiles, and some reptiles into dinosaurs, and ultimately some dinosaurs into birds. So the entire age of the dinosaurs is glossed over in this one verse. One could argue that since dinosaurs were extinct by the time this passage was written, their inclusion would have been confusing at best to the people of the time.
God's Word, although not directly mentioning dinosaurs, does not at all exclude the idea. Here is why: some scholars, historians, theologians, etc. agree that Adam lived approximately 6000 years ago. Most theologians teach that this is the same age of the universe and earth because Adam was created on the 6th day. But we have fossils of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals dating millions of years old, obviously contradicting the teaching of 6000 years.
This does not prove that science and God's Word are incompatible. If God is real, then the author of the natural realm is also the author of the Bible. They would have to mesh, fit somehow, as God is incapable of falsehood (Titus 1:2, Hebrews 6:18, Numbers 23:19). I believe that what I'm about to unfold for you will enlighten your understanding of some time periods in God's Word that, for centuries, have been unclear and grossly misunderstood, misinterpreted, and mistaught, altogether misrepresenting who God is and how beautiful and symmetrical and accurate his Word is.
Consider a section in II Peter 3.
This Scripture is speaking of the fall of Lucifer which totally incapacitated Earth and decimated all life forms. The word "perished" (apollumi) means "utterly and finally ruined"
This is something greater than Noah's flood. So from this verse we see a key phrase: "the world that then was" That is a world of an earlier time.
Here is a second set. The word "now" (nun) means "the actually present time;even now; at this instant."
Later in II Peter 3 we see another piece of the puzzle.
This is the third heaven and earth mentioned. We have "the world that then was," "the heavens and earth, which are now," and lastly "new heavens and a new earth." Three in number.
Three heavens and earths- not in space but in time. One after the other. The third will be in the future, as Revelation 21:1 points out.
The word "first" that occurs here is not necessarily refereeing to the "world that then was" from II Peter 3:6. the word "first" is the word protos which in some cases does mean first, but here the meaning is former, which based on what we saw in II Peter 3 would be referring to the prior set, the second heaven and earth.
Going back to Genesis.
In Genesis 1:28 where the Word is summarizing the formation and fabrication of man, Adam, God's call for them is to "REplenish the earth."
There must have been some form of life that existed and ceased to exist before Adam and Eve and the lifeforms mentions in Genesis 1:20-25,
b. because the scripture says Adam and Eve were to REplenish the earth, to plenish it again.
Is it logical for a God of light, perfection, order, love, and beauty to work on creating a heavens and earth and the end result is without form, void, and dark?
The creation of Genesis 1:1 was not haphazard, sloppy, formless, dark, crooked, void, empty, etc. It was a perfect, harmonious, light, and beautiful creation.
The Word "was" following the word "earth" in Genesis 1:2 should have really been translated "became."
If we read the transition from Genesis 1:1 to Genesis 1:2 with the added understanding that the word "was" is really the word "became" it fits with what we would expect God to create.
To further substantiate this point, consider the vision of the prophet Isaiah as recorded in:
Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
the word "in vain" from the phrase " he created it not in vain" is the Hebrew word tohu which is the same word as "without form" from Genesis 1:2. Clearly God created the heaven and earth not in vain, he created it with form, he did not create it in the state that it was in in Genesis 1:2, formlessness, it became that way.
So just to frame this out even clearer: Genesis 1:1 is literally on its own compared to the rest of the chapter. Genesis 1:1 is the first heaven and earth, while Genesis 1:2 and onward is the second heaven and earth. the second heaven and earth is obviously the same rock, the same elements, from the first heaven and earth, just refashioned. If this were not the case we would not have the fossils and prehistoric evidence that have been discovered over the face of the earth.
So Genesis 1:3-2:4 is just a reframing,reorganizing, replenishing of what once was from the original of Genesis 1:1.
Between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2 was eons of time. As far as we understand it was basically however much time is between the creation of matter, I know the scientific realm has approximate ages for this point, and the creation of Adam. So dinosaurs, cavemen, cave paintings, mammoths, all those things would have to fit within that expansive timezone unspoken of between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2. We know time went by between those two verses even though nothing is specified. We know there was a war in heaven, and Lucifer fell;
and his fall racked and ruined that life on earth. Then God turns the lights back on and rebuilds, re-initiates his creation, with one difference, and enemy of God in the world, Satan. Then the Story unfolds from Genesis 1 and 2 and mankind then needs a redeemer, and Christ was that for us.
After the return, and reign of Christ, the third heaven and earth begins, which is the true restoration of "the world that then was" Paradise will be restored, and this time, with no adversary, no death, no crying, no fear. That is our hope.

Security guards told a poor family visiting a Paris museum they had to leave because people were complaining about their smell, a charity official said.
The family was browsing a room with paintings by Van Gogh when guards told them they had to leave.
"I argued with the security man, telling him the family were all decent and properly dressed," said a worker with the charity Act for Dignity.
The director of the museum told French news sources he was saddened by the incident.
Claire Hedon, vice president of the charity, said she wrote to Aurelie Filippetti, the French culture minister, to complain about the incident.

I collect how people tag topics with categories in table like:
ID | topic_id | votes_Category_1 | votes_Category_2 |.......... | votes_Category_12
This table holds 1 row per topic and dynamically keeps count of votes on each category I dump this table every hour for history reasons. Lets say table contain 2 million rows. dumped every hour in history tables.
This solution is not flexible (that is minor because categories are pretty solid) if I want to add column Category_13, so I'm thinking about this one:
ID | topic_id | Category_id | vote_count
This solution will create 12 rows per topic, its better structured and more flexible but I'll have to dump every hour 24 million rows.
I need the best 10 topics in each category!
- case 1: order by votes_Category_x desc limit 10
- case 2: where category_id=x order by vote_count desc limit 10
Which one would be better JUST!!! from performance stand point:
- To have 2 million rows with 14 columns
- To have 24 million rows with 4 columns
Thank you

Darth Maul – Death Sentence (comic volume)
Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void (novel)
What better way to start the Summer than with some Star Wars Expanded Universe talk? Unfortunately our regular host Teresa was unable to join Aaron this episode, but we were happy to welcome Mark Hurliman (Star Wars Report and Star Wars Beyond the Films podcasts) as a guest host. Also joining us to share her expert opinions was Tricia Barr (writer for Star Wars Insider). Two amazing and very knowledgeable guests in one episode!
(Check out Tricia's appearance on Monday's episode of the podcast Beyond the Screens)
Aaron and the two guests first shared what Star Wars related things they have been up to lately. Mark talked about his excitement for reading Kenobi and Crucible and how he hates getting behind on Expanded Universe materials. Tricia shared how she has recently had an article featured on the cover of Star Wars Insider #142, a piece on Padme Amidala. Aaron talked about his recent trip to San Francisco and how he had the amazing privilege of visiting the Lucasfilm and ILM offices.

Seal pupping season begins in Pacific GroveUPDATED 6:54 PM PST Jan 27, 2014
Harbor seal mothers are about to give birth, and while their pups are cute, wildlife watchers should be quiet at nursery beaches.Video Transcript
WEATHER -- IT'S MAKING IT EASIER FOR MARINE WILDLIFE VOLUNTEERS TO OBSERVE AND DOCUMENT THE HARBOR SEALS NEAR HOPKIN'S MARINE STATION ON THE MONTEREY PENINSULA... WITH MORE ON HOW THE WEATHER IS FACTORING IN TO THAT- WE GO LIVE TO ACTION NEWS REPORTER JACQUELINE MAZUR IN MONTEREY.

Do you think that deals! needs a private message function?
It seems that you guys have formed a nice community here. A PM button would be nice. Maybe this will get the code slaves attention!
35 Answers answer
Absolutely, and thanks for your dogged efforts(pun intended). Where can we sign up? :)
Yes! That would make life so much easier! Currently, wooters have to go to the woot! community page, do a search for the person they have to pm, and then click the mail icon. It would make life so much simpler and the community much better if we could just click on a pm button!
YES! again!
If someone wants to opt out, let them.
EDIT: Oops.. sorry, thought this was a private message.
I second that motion. It would really come in handy for future BOC exchanges.
My ▲ Club can't take much more of me plugging it.
By all that is holy, yes.
It would make things so much easier.
As someone that may never use it, I think it would be great for the people that are so darn active on here. I say make the wootizens happy!
Yes, indubitably !
absolutely!! it would be an excellent addition :)
For the love of God, yes!
Definitely not.
We've been asking for years.
and again
and again
and again
and again
and again
I don't think Binary Boy's Daddy even reads these anymore
Of course it needs one. Having to go into the regular Woot forums to find someone when you need/want to PM them is a bit of a pain. It would make 100% total sense to add a private message function to deals.
@hirshy: I didn't even know we could do that! I've had times where I have wanted to contact another wooter directly but never knew how.
I can't say I would personally use it much, but it seems like there are some tight groups on this site. It would definitely be a good addition.
Yes please. It would make life easier in a variety of ways. And I promise to use it only for good and fun and other suitable things.
@theoneill555: I was going to comment 'this is a duplicate question times ten'. Thanks for linking. Still I upvoted the question.
This is so simple, if you do not want, do not use PM. Who would say no, oh wait I have two people:
My answer, I think is obvious but just in case it is not: Yes PM Please!
Absolutely YES. As mentioned, it's been asked for many times.
It would be nice if you received (or could receive based on user choice) an e-mail stating that you have a PM as well (similar to options that you currently have when you're tagged in a post).
Yes. Just wanted to add my 3 letters.
Oh please yes. But, I don't think it will happen.
@caffeine_dude: and I didn't even list them all :)
It would be nice.
I don't doubt it's on a list somewhere. A long list. Hang in there folks! :)
Add my "yes" to the pile.
@sgrman05: I agree about the emails! I know there have been shirts I have wanted to trade that have PMs sent and then takes weeks to see. I would prefer the auto email when you get a PM before getting the buttons over here. (BUT I DO WANT PMs HERE!)
As a web developer, the code already exists for the PMs it really would just take implementing the icons/buttons here. I would assume it wouldn't be extremely difficult. But as @inkycatz says, there is a list and who knows what is before it :(
Who thinks this in the works and they are just chumming the waters by asking?
It would be nice to be able to thank someone without having to take up forum space for it. When I post a question I feel like I should individually thank each person as they answer. If I could PM them the thanks then I could just post a comprehensive thanks at the end after the question had run its course.
@inkycatz: Ahh, the list! I'm sure pm on deals side is just after the FAQ!
Good to know that I'm not the only one bothered by the lack of a PM button!

You may remember Lloyd Newson's verbatim hit play 'Can We Talk About This?' which enjoyed a successful run at London's National Theatre and Sydney Opera House amongst others. The play focused on the reluctance of media and political figures to openly discuss the dangers of Islamism and Sharia law.
Featuring speeches and interviews with leading figures from across the political and cultural spectrum, including One Law for All's Maryam Namazie and Anne Marie Waters, the play explored issues of freedom of speech, censorship and violence, as well as the impact of significant events such as the 'Rushdie Affair', the murder of Dutch film-maker Theo Van Gogh, and the Mohammed cartoons.
'Can We Talk About This?' received rave reviews around the world and won several high profile awards, including 'Best Dance or Ballet' (Helpmann Awards, Australia 2012) and dance 'Production of the Year' (Germany, 2011/12).
Channel 4 decided not to commission the play due to the 'current climate' even though Lloyd Newson's last film, the Cost of Living, was commissioned for Channel 4 and won 17 international awards, including a Prix Italia and the coveted Rose D'or. Similarly the BBC, which had commissioned previous films from Newson, declined to film the play though they broadcast 'Jerry Springer – The Opera' (which featured Jesus Christ in a nappy). So much for the supposed 'bravery' of Channel 4 and the 'impartiality' of the BBC when it comes to Islam! [Read more…]

The Church and the March on Washington: "The shock of relevance"
The fiftieth anniversary of the August 28, 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom is an excellent excuse to look into the Commonweal archives. What did Commonweal contributors have to say about the march -- who went, what did they take away, and where did they hope it would lead?
The first to report was Francis E. Kearns, then an assistant professor at Georgetown, who published his account of the march (which he attended along with some other Georgetown folks) in the magazine's September 20, 1963 issue ("Marching for Justice"). For him, the march was a watershed event in the history of religious institutions' engagement with the struggle for civil rights:
Perhaps the most significant gain scored by the march, however, is that, more than any previous incident or demonstration in the field of racial justice, it led great numbers of religious institutions and church members to make an act of commitment. In the past few years it has been the church authorities who have made the proclamations and joined in the rallies, but on August 28th one could see large groups of marchers carrying the banners of Bronx Hebrew congregations or Washington churches. On the speakers platform one could see the familiar bishops, but what was new was the presence in the audience of Washington parish priests, Woodstock seminarians, and suburban Maryland parishioners.
What was significant too was the tone adopted in the speeches by religious spokesmen such as Dr. Eugene Carson Blake, of the Commission on Religion and Race of the National Council of Churches, Mathew Ahmann, of the National Catholic Conference for Interracial Justice, and Rabbi Joachim Prinz, of the American Jewish Congress. Here was not the grandiloquent self-congratulation often reserved for those occasions when the Church condescends to become involved in community affairs, but rather a frank admission of culpable indifference in the past and a promise of greater effort in the future.
Georgetown had a mixed record on racial justice, in Kearns's view, and had responded sluggishly to the civil rights movement. Still, he reported,
when called upon to support the march, the university community responded generously. The administration endorsed the participation of a Georgetown group and offered dormitory space and meals to out-of-town marchers. Moreover, though only thirty to forty marchers were expected from the campus, over 250 students, priests, and lay professors participated. One could sense that many other Catholics at the Lincoln Memorial were taking the first difficult steps toward a Christian stand on the race problem.
Kearns offers an encouraging account of episcopal leadership in D.C.:
The large scale participation of local Catholic groups in the march could be attributed largely to the influence of Archbishop Patrick O'Boyle of Washington, who pronounced the rally's invocation. As Chairman of the Washington Interreligious Committee on Race Relations, he had earlier appeared before a District Commissioners' hearing to call for strong regulations to end discrimination in housing; had called upon local churches to consider anti-discrimination clauses in church-related building contracts; had helped establish an apprentice training program for Negroes in the construction trades; and had encourged a program of exchange visits between Negro and white families.
Moreover, through pastoral letters, through instituting recitation of a special prayer for racial justice at all Sunday Masses, and through a variety of other methods, he had brought home to Washington Catholics their responsibilities in the civil rights movement. At the parish church I attend -- where sermons had in the past been concerned largely with the importance of the second collection, the dangers of Communism, or the deficiencies of Protestant theology, where the chief evidence of social interest had been a showing of the movie Operation Abolition -- the shock of relevance was overwhelming.
Kearns was uncertain how, and whether, the march would bear fruit, with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 still an uncertain prospect:
Now the march has already passed out of the headlines and one of the most important questions concerning its influence remains unanswered -- what effect will it have on the mass of voters in bringing about support in Congress for a strong civil rights bill? Despite the great dignity of the march, despite its reaffirmation of the American tradition of peaceful assembly and petition, despite its re-emphasis of the moral ideas informing the civil rights movement, the march may have had very little effect on the nation's thinking. There is considerable evidence that the position of those unwilling to see the passage of civil rights legislation has so hardened that no peaceful demonstration would have moved them. Thus Southern Democrat Strom Thurmond and Republican Representative Joel Broyhill contented themselves on the evening after the march by pointing out the loss of business revenue to downtown Washington. Similarly, David Lawrence's syndicated column termed the march "a day of public disgrace -- a step backward in the evolution of the American system of government."
Moreover, a new rumor, which even made some of the local radio news broadcasts, has it that all of the New York costume shops were out of rented clerical garb on the day of the march and many of those dressed as priests or ministers were Communist conspirators.
Thurmond is not the only recently-active congressman mentioned in Kearns's account, which concludes:
That the racial equality revolution is still primarily a religious revolution was manifested when Archbishop O'Boyle was backed by other civil rights leaders in his insistence that certain inflammatory remarks be removed from the prepared text of a speech by John Lewis, Chairman of the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee. Nevertheless, one wonders how long the religious ideals of the movement would be able to restrain violence should the nation fail to support effective civil rights legislation. During the past few months we have heard many cries of outrage, in the halls of Congress, in letters to the editor, in newspaper editorials, against what is termed the Supreme Court's weakening of "our religious heritage" through its school prayer decisions. It would indeed be more than ironic if the nation now failed to respond to the civil rights movement, the greatest religious crusade of the twentieth century.
Kearns had a chance to elaborate on that point when a Jesuit from Georgetown, the Rev. George H. Dunne, wrote to complain about the "oddly sour note" he detected in Kearns's account of the university's involvement in the March. ("Why the grudging remarks about Georgetown?") That letter was published in the November 1, 1963, issue, with Kearns's unchastened reply:
The chief charge Father Dunne brings against me is that I did not engage in lavish and unrestrained praise (with bells, trumpets, and banners) of the university's participation in the march. I plead guilty.
It seems to me that few religious institutions were entitled to such praise. Can we honestly say that the churches have exercised leadership in the struggle for racial justice? Did the churches really risk much in supporting this legally acceptable and internationally acclaimed rally? For Father Dunne and some few other heroic individuals who have devoted their lives to prodding Catholics into a Christian stand on the race issue, the march was a high point of achievement. For the rest of us it was a beginning -- a time, as was pointed out by various religious spokesmen at the rally, for the frank admission of past culpable indifference and for dedication to the future.
...The administration did endorse participation -- one week before the rally. Such endorsement did require courage and generosity and I want to applaud the administration here just as I did in my previous article. But what purpose would be served by exaggerating the role of Georgetown or other Catholic groups in the march? Has the stable, old rhetoric or piety and pretense with which we have comforted ourselves in the past ever helped us to be better Christians?
If I had used my article as a vehicle for congratulating churchmen while ignoring their racial sins and mine, I would have insulted the Negro's struggle for justice. Why should Christians be congratulated for starting to practice what they have so long preached? In participating in the racial struggle the white Christian does not make a gift of his aid to the Negro: he does that which it is necessary to do in order to go on regarding himself as a Christian.

One Catholic institution that has from its very beginning worked for justice for African Americans and American Indians is the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament. It was founded by Saint Katherine Drexel, an American heiress from Philadelphia who used her great fortune to help them. The sisters are still at it.
What a contrast with the bishops then and the bishops now! When Law and Mahoney later joined the backlash it became clear that these were bishops of fashion rather than principle. In seeking justice in housing for blacks there were serious problems for the White middle class as weasel real estate brokers destroyed white neighborhoods by stirring panic and fear which led to white flight. People sold homes at depressed prices and became extremely angry. The inattention to the middle class fed the backlash. Nevertheless this was a time when the church was truer to its calling and the message to free the captives was front and center as it should always be. Francis is making sure of that now.
Mollie, I am sure there must be something about Ted Hesburgh in the archives. He was one of the principal architects of the Civil Rights movement. No account is complete without Hesburgh in it.
This was a time when the gospel was paramount and there was no reference to the "magic" of the sacraments and the poor suffering justly for their sins. The words of the Magnificat were clear and false prophets were in the background unlike our present age. But there is hope as Dolan needed Francis to reconsider the opulence of the bishops that is prevalent.
Those old articles haven't held up too well, have they? Kearns seems to think Jews lagged behind "church authorities" in their committment to civil rights.
In the past few years it has been the church authorities who have made the proclamations and joined in the rallies, but on August 28th one could see large groups of marchers carrying the banners of Bronx Hebrew congregations or Washington churches.
For a brief introduction to actual history see, e.g.:
I guess my main problem with the anniversary of MLK's speech is the HIDEOUS statue erected in his memory and the crude paraphrase of what he actually said in one of his less-inspired moments.
Why a Chinese sculptor? Are there no African-American sculptors? His face looks like one of those generic Chinese ancestor portraits. And if he was such a great orator, why the weird decision to truncate and flatten his words? Was that the best quotation the boss of this project could come up with?
I hope you will permit me to offer as background (perhaps even as contrast) a few pages I wrote summarizing the question of race as it appeared in the suggestions submitted for the agenda of Vatican II in 1959-1960. The numbers beween parentheses refer to the pages of the official publication of these vota.
The question of race was much discussed among Catholics in the late 1950s. In September, 1955, the Catholic magazine Jubilee devoted a whole issue to the question, following it two years later with a study of Catholic attitudes towards racial integration which reported that the overwhelming majority of Catholic schools in the South were segregated and that in 1956 three-quarters of Southern Catholics supported segregation. That same year one of the Catholic pioneers in the efforts on behalf of blacks, John LaFarge, S.J., sought the help of a Jesuit superior in obtaining from Pius XII a confirmation of the efforts of Archbishop Rummel to desegregate the Catholic schools in New Orleans, efforts that LaFarge said were being impeded "by the impression that the Archbishop is isolated and disapproved by his own confreres."
It is unfortunate, however, as an experienced Catholic missionary bishop recently said to me, that the laity have to be those taking the initiative in promoting interracial justice in our country and in urging compliance with the supreme law of the land. We have as yet no clear statement either by the American bishops as a whole (i.e., the Administrative Council), treating the question as a national problem, which it really is; nor by the Bishops of the Southern States treating it as a regional question, so as to guide the faithful in a matter that directly concerns the consciences of Catholics everywhere;...a matter on which the Church's teaching is clear and unequivocal. The point at issue is not that of kindness and charity to the Negro--on that topic, in theory at least, there is no discussion. The point is that the Church's disapproval of a legalized, artificially constructed system (not a "natural solution," as some erroneously have said) that in se is contrary to basic human dignity, and in the present world, especially in the United States, is the source of grave injustices, with their corresponding toll in cultural and moral retardation.
Until and unless the Bishops speak on this matter with some show of unity, the consciences of American Catholics are left in confusion.
Of the twelve bishops (8.1%) who proposed that the issue of race be included in the conciliar agenda five were from states in the north, six were from southern states, and that of O'Boyle came from Washington, D.C., a city with a majority of black residents. Five of these bishops were content with simple references to the problem. Three Ordinaries from northern cities to which large numbers of southern blacks had moved addressed it. Meyer of Chicago (294) described race as an issue that is "very important in some regions" and asked if it were not related to "the question of the reunion of dissidents." Dearden of Detroit (312) argued that "since in our day errors both theoretical and practical exist about the relationship of the human races, it will be appropriate to make a statement on the unity of the human species and at the same time to reject the error of those who deny the rights of others on this ground." O'Boyle (464) spoke similarly: "In several regions of the United States a lamentable spirit of discrimination and sometimes of hatred exists towards citizens of African origin. If the Ecumenical Council were to state the essential equality of all men, because of their unity in Adam and in Christ, it would bring much honor to the faith and to the Church."
Among the bishops of southern dioceses, Marling of Jefferson City (346) asked for a precise statement on the troubling question of "true and false razismo." Cody (348) noted that the issue was being exploited by Communists "so that the people are being led to the error of thinking that the Church is contrary to the equality of men." By far the most eloquent statements came from Rummel of New Orleans (384-85) and his Auxiliary, Caillouet (509). Rummel pointed out how racism contradicts the doctrines of creation and redemption and asked the Council to bear witness again to their truth. This should include a rejection of all forms of segregation on the basis of race and any kind of efforts to deprive people of their legitimate aspirations. Caillouet was surely thinking of Rummel himself when he asked that the Council's teaching support brave Catholics who were struggling against this injustice. Rummel had encountered bitter opposition when he condemned school segregation in 1953 and again in 1956. In the summer of 1957, Catholic laymen opposed to racial integration had written to Pius XII to challenge Rummel's authority on the matter.
The issue of racism is an interesting test-case for an interpretation of the US Bishops' vota. It is tempting, for example, to conclude that the absence of this concern means that a bishop was not particularly interested in the question. In November 1958, however, the U.S. bishops, urged on by one of the last acts of Pius XII, had issued a statement on the race question; but of the twelve bishop members of the Administrative Board which drew up the statement, only three included it in their vota. Among bishops who did not mention race were some who had taken or were taking courageous public stands on the issue: Lucey, Spellman, Ritter, Waters, and Hallinan. Why did even these bishops not include the question in their proposals to Rome? Was it that they, and other bishops, did not think that this was a suitable topic for an ecumenical council? Did they think Catholic principles on the issue sufficiently clear already?
I have now posted my article on the US bishops' proposals on my blog, and there you can see the notes that accompany these paragraphs: http://jakomonchak.wordpress.com/2013/08/26/us-proposals-for-the-council...
Cody followed the great Edwin VIncent O'Hara as bishop of Kansas City. O'Hara integrated Loretto Academy in 1947. He ordered the other Catholic schools NOT to accept the girls whose racist parents pulled them out of Loretto.
John LaFarge. Wonderful. I remember reading about him in Treasure Chest in 1953.
(You consider Jefferson City a southern diocese? I think most people regard Missouri as a midwestern state.)
Archbishop Rummel arrived in New Orleans about 1936 and began speaking out against segregation immediately. Most white eople, Catholic and Protestant, were horrified, but over time and with the help of some priests like the Jesuits at Loyola University Fr. John Tuomy, s.j., and another Jesuit whose name I forget, as well as Fr. Vincent O'Connell, s.m., at the major seminary, plus a group of lay people called "The Catholic Committee of the South", hearts began to change.
Long before Abp. Rummel there had been some secular anti-segration voices at Tulane University as far back as the 20's when my mother was a student there. And, of course, many of the Jews also spoke out. Plus New Orleans had long had some well-educated mixed-race men who also, of course, spoke out. They even had some newspapers going back into the 19th century. So New Orleans was extremely fortunate to have some leadership. The small Southern towns rarely had any voices at all speaking out publicly for the black people.

On Oxygen for Life After Lung Cancer?
The University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing
Last Modified: May 8, 2013
If I have lung cancer, will I have to be on oxygen for the rest of my life?
Anil Vachani, MD, Pulmonologist at Penn Medicine, responds:
Most patients that are treated for lung cancer do not end up requiring supplemental oxygen. There are some patients with underlying lung disease, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or pulmonary fibrosis, who already have significant trouble with breathing with more strenuous movements such as walking up stairs. For these patients, any loss of lung function from cancer treatment, particularly with surgery or radiation therapy, may result in a further decline in breathing that may make a patient ultimately end up needing oxygen either continuously or during exertion. Some patients with very advanced disease may also require oxygen at some point in their disease course.
