Let me start by saying that I am a big fan of medical essays, so I pretty much knew that I would enjoy this book before I started reading it. But I had not read Groopman before (other than a few of his essays in The New Yorker) so my mind was open to dislike it. Well, all the great reviews couldn't be wrong! And they weren't. It is a very good book. What is particularly interesting about this collection is Groopman's focus on the relationship between doctor and patient and how a doctor's perceptions can influence the quality of care a patient receives. For example, in one essay, Groopman writes about an athletic and attractive man who goes to the ER because he has pain and shortness of breath, but he is turned away without receiving the treatment he needs because the doctor treating him views him in such a positive light and is unable to see past the patient's robust facade. If you enjoy reading books by Oliver Sacks or Atul Gawande, you will want to read this book as well. Groopman writes in a similarly engaging style and, like the others, addresses fascinating medical issues. Additionally, this book will give you ideas on how to become a better patient and communicate in ways that help doctors move past their preconceived notions that they may have about you and your health.

Bradley belts a pair for Pawtucket
Red Sox No. 2 prospect has first multi-homer game at Triple-A
By Jake Seiner / MiLB.com | July 2, 2013 8:33 PM ET
Jackie Bradley Jr. has hit six Triple-A home runs this season and there's been a common denominator in each one.
"I think all six of my home runs have gone to the same spot," the Red Sox's No. 2 prospect said with a laugh. "All six of them."
That spot is just beyond the right-center field fence, and MLB.com's No. 29 overall prospect spoiled fans at McCoy Stadium with two more souvenirs Tuesday night in Pawtucket's 6-4 loss to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Bradley hit his first homer in the bottom of the third inning off RailRiders starter Chris Bootcheck. After falling behind, 2-0, the veteran right-hander worked the count back to 2-2 with consecutive inside cutters to the left-handed hitter.
Bootcheck threw the same pitch a third straight time, but Bradley was ready. He put a confident swing on the offering, dropping the barrel on the down-and-in pitch and sending it over the right-center field wall.
"He was painting the inside corner with that cutter," Bradley said. "I just took it and gave it to him. I just sat on that pitch and I got it again for a third time in a row, and I put a good swing on it."
Bradley faced Bootcheck once more in the fifth, and the former Major Leaguer mostly stayed away from the 23-year-old outfielder. He took a breaking pitch away for strike one, then watched a changeup sail over his head. The next pitch was a fastball that missed down and in, but Bradley swung over it on what may have been a hit-and-run call -- Jeremy Hazelbaker stole second on the play.
With Bradley again in a 2-1 count, Bootcheck declined to come back inside, instead attempting to spot a pitch on the outside corner. Bradley extended his hands and again dropped barrel to ball, driving a liner that pushed left fielder Corey Patterson to within feet of the warning track before he reeled it in.
Bradley's final at-bat came against sidearming right-hander Yoshinori Tateyama leading off the eighth. He took a fastball on the outside corner to fall behind, 0-1.
"It was late in the game and we were behind," Bradley said. "I wanted to see a pitch, try to get his pitch count up. You don't want to go up as the first guy up there and get out. I wanted to kind of work the count a little bit. He got a strike on me, and then it was fair game."
The next pitch was a hanging changeup. The difference in velocity got Bradley slightly off-balance, but he managed to stay back long enough to lift the ball toward right field. It carried over the fence and fell into the same section of seats as his first dinger.
"I actually wasn't looking for that," Bradley said. "He left the changeup up in the zone. I saw it up and I attacked it like it was a fastball and I got it in the air and happened to slip one out of there."
The University of South Carolina product has hit three of his six International League homers in his past eight games. He's batting .283 with a .943 OPS over his past 10 contests as he's snapped out of a slump that dropped his average in June to .256.
Bradley has had two stints in the big leagues this season. He began the year with a 12-game stay with Boston, then rejoined the Red Sox on May 29 for seven more games. He's hitting .154 with six walks in the Majors and impressed early with his plate discipline.
Returning to Triple-A is allowing Bradley to smooth the edges on his fairly polished game.
"The more you play the game, the more you learn," he said. "With the few games in the big leagues, I definitely got a lot out of it. I was able to bring it back down here to the Minor Leagues to use it to build and get better."

Panel Discussion on Cyberspace: Opening Remarks by Ambassador Wittig
(Opening remarks as delivered by Ambassador Wittig on the occassion of a panel discussion "Cyber Security -- Uncharted waters for the UN", held at the German House, June 6, 2013)
"Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to the German House, welcome to our panel discussion on cybersecurity which we organised in cooperation with the East-West-Institute.
Some of you might know the novel "Zero Day" -- a thriller by Mark Russinovich, in which the horror of cyberterrorism unfolds: Over the Atlantic, the controls of an airliner's controls stop reacting and the pilots barely avert disaster. In Japan, an oil tanker runs aground when its navigational system fails. And in America, a nuclear power plant nearly becomes the next Chernobyl. The protagonist, a former government analyst, begins his race against time in order to stop an international disaster.
This book is, of course, fiction -- but it is noteworthy that the author holds a senior position at Microsoft.Howard Schmidt, a former White House Cyber Security Coordinator, commented in his foreword to the novel: "While what Mark wrote is fiction, the risks that he writes about eerily mirror many situations that we see today."
Ladies and gentlemen,
News on cyber security have indeed become regular reading for us all. Hardly a day goes by without media coverage of cyberattacks, cyberespionage and cybersabotage. Rapidly advancing technological capabilities have given rise to mounting risks of escalation and miscalculation. Sophisticated threats both from state actors and non-state actors are increasingly perceived as a problem of international security. Cyber issues, in a nutshell, have become a major cross-cutting issue of Foreign Policy.
But what are these cyber issues after all? How do we get a better grip on this elusive notion of "cyber space"? Let me, for the sake of clarity we suggest to distinguish three major themes: first, internet freedom and human rights, second, economic development and third, security.
First, there is the theme of internet freedom and the potential of new technologies to foster human rights. We have all learned that the internet can be a powerful tool for freedom and human rights globally. But the internet can also be abused as we all know: Repressive regimes can use it as a tool for censorship, misinformation or detection of political opponents. We need to find answers to the crucial question of how we organize the web in order to keep it free and secure at the same time.
Second, there is the economic dimension: the internet as an engine and catalyst for economic development with enormous opportunities for our global economy. We have to ensure, however, that developing countries have an equal share in these tremendous new opportunities. We must address the digital divide and thus turn the internet into an engine for a truly global economic growth.
Third, there's cyber security. With an increasing number of states developing military cyber capabilities, the security of cyber space is a key goal - although not one that is easy to achieve. In the military arena of the past, politics of deterrence, classic non-proliferation strategies and export controls have prevented major destructive escalations. Cyberscenarios are different: Perpetrators in cyberspace very likely remain invisible to most of us, it is almost impossible to attribute an act of cyber aggression to an attacker in a legally indisputable way. Misperceptions and escalation can be the results.
Ladies and gentlemen,
The challenge for us therefore is to shape a secure cyber environment without limiting the immense potential the internet offers to foster freedom and economic opportunities. In this context, it seems a defensive approach seems far more promising to us than an offensive one: Providing better technical resilience and reducing our vulnerabilities by strong passive defence measures may well decrease the likelihood of successful attacks -- the higher the wall, the more likely an attacker will refrain from his attempt.
At the same time we need to pursue our efforts to promote trust and confidence. We need to define a framework for lawful state conduct in cyberspace. We should have clarity about the rules and norms that apply in cyberspace. If we want to avoid major escalations, we need to know what is ok, and what is not. Misperceptions are a risk. Therefore we need practical steps for more transparency and confidence. The stakes are too high, and too many lives at risk, for a mere laissez-faire approach. Games without rules are messy. We should move beyond them.
All three issues -- freedom and human rights, economic development and security -- affect each other. They have also been key areas of the work of the United Nations since the very beginning. However, cyber issues are rarely discussed within the UN -- they are mostly uncharted waters. Today we would therefore like to start a dialogue on the importance and relevance of cyber issues in the UN.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I'm excited about today's panelists: They are among the leading scholars and practitioners in the field.I am sure we'll gain new insights into the world of cyberspace, into its risks and opportunities, and that together we get a better understanding of these, so far, uncharted waters. And perhaps we'll also learn whether the UN should set out to map -- or even sail -- these waters.
I want to thank today's panelists -- and Colum Lynch, their moderator. Colum, we are now in your hands.
Thank you."

Trent Reznor confirms 2014 NIN Tour in North America
Listen to Nine Inch Nails on iHeartRadio
Nine Inch Nails will be hitting the road in the U.S. again next year.
Trent Reznor recently confirmed a 2014 North American trek in a Reddit AMA session, and also revealed that the outing will look very different compared to the recently-wrapped North American leg of their Tension 2013 tour. He says he'll be touring with a new lineup, and also plans to adjust the set list.
Reznor explained that changing things up keeps the show interesting for the musicians and the fans, and prevents long outings like this from feeling stale.
The next North American leg doesn't have a starting date yet, but it will most likely come sometime in late summer or fall. Nine Inch Nails already have 2014 tours booked in Australia, New Zealand, Latin America, and Europe between March and June.

Country Star Rodney Atkins Ties The Knot
(AP) – Rodney Atkins has married singer-songwriter Rose Falcon.
They were married on the beach on Captiva Island, Florida, before 20 guests on Sunday. Atkins' son, Elijah, was his best man. The officiant was Charles Hutchens, who founded the Holston United Methodist Home for Children, where Atkins lived as an infant until he was adopted.
When asked about a honeymoon, the couple say, "Our life is a honeymoon." They are back in Nashville with plans to continue their "Most Hits For The Money" tour.

Revolution. Global economy. Internet access. What story do you see?
This interactive visualization shows the evolution of languages of Tweets according to the language that the user selected in their Twitter profile. The height of the line reflects the percentage of total Tweets and the vertical order is based on rank vs. other languages.
Check it out. Hover over it. See how the languages you care about have changed since the beginning of Twitter.
As you'd expect, Twitter was predominantly English speaking in the early days, but that's changed as Twitter has grown its adoption globally. English is still the dominant language but with only 51% share in 2013 vs. 79% in 2007. Japanese, Spanish and Portuguese emerged the consistent number two, three and four languages. Beyond that, you can see that relative rankings change dramatically year over year.
In this data, you can see several different stories. The sharp rise in Arabic reflects the impact of the Arab Spring – a series of revolutionary events that made use of Twitter. A spike in Indonesian is indicative of a country with a fast growing online population. Turkish starts to see growth and we expect that growth will continue to spike after the Occupygezi movement. Or step back for a broader view of the timeline; the suggestion of a spread in the globalization of communication networks comes to mind. Each potential story could be a reason to drill down further, expose new ideas and explore the facts.
Adding your own perspective, what story do you see?

Desert Moon: Breaking Bad in the American SouthwestBy Andi Teran
There's a moment when thunderclouds smother the sunset and the chile ristras begin to sway, when bits of smoldering earth intertwine with invisible rain, and you're tangled in tumbleweed magic. Everything is burnt orange and cactus green, clay-tinged and warm. There's mystery disguised as menace, comfort in spite of storm, and the sky gives off a phantom light that makes the concrete seem cinematic. This is the desert Southwest, my homeland, also known as Breaking Bad country.
If you've made the television journey with Walter White—from tightey-whitey chemistry teacher to hairless drug kingpin—you're already familiar with the show's desert setting of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It acts as a silent character that, to me, is also its most important.

So I realize this question might be a little silly & I am acting slightly neurotic about this, but I was just wondering if any moms on here had an experience with a missed twin on an ultrasound. I realize this is very unlikely to happen - but just wondering if it has?
I am pregnant with #2 & i look huge already. I realize your belly pops quicker with your second, but I feel really uncomfortable already & NEVER was uncomfortable with my first. Before my belly ever popped I was thinking about twins, just a feeling. I had a vaginal ultrasound at 8 1/2 weeks and saw only 1 & another at 12 weeks when i told my doc (who did the first ultrasound & is a also a resident) that I was nervous about twins. She looked quickly & didn't see a second. So its very likely I'm just bigger this time & that is that, but - has anyone had an experience where you only saw one & found out later there were 2?

Closing of Blockbuster video is emotional at the Goose Creek store
WCBD-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Charleston, SC
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
At one time, it was the king of video rentals, but new technology has basically made Blockbuster Video stores obsolete. On Wednesday, the company announced the closing of 300 stores nationwide. The three stores in the lowcountry will soon be closing.
Victoria Morrell is the store manager at the Goose Creek Blockbuster. "They've been tearful and emotional. They worry about the people that do work here, and what they're gonna do afterwards."
She is describing the reaction of many longtime customers that Blockbuster is closing hundreds of stores, including those in Goose Creek, Summerville and Moncks corner. 2800 people will lose their jobs, including six at the Goose Creek store.
Sheila Peeples is a long-time customer. "Well, it's heartbreaking, because I look forward to coming in and renting movies every day. You know, they know you by name when you come in. It's a personal thing too."
Morrell started at the store in 1990, just a few months after it opened. "It's been my livelihood. My children grew up in Blockbuster. When I moved here, my daughter was 6 months old. And my son was two. They're in their 20's now, but they grew up here. They would walk here from school, and they would go home from here."
But she understands why they are closing. "We knew it was gonna happen. Just when, because of technology. It's just technology. It's not anything that any of the stores did, it's just technology. It took over."
However, she says the one thing technology may not do as well is where they shined, caring for their customers. "We're like a family. I think that's what I'm gonna miss the most. Because we are family."
Saturday is the last day for rentals. The store will be closed Sunday-Thursday of next week and will open next Friday to begin to liquidate the store. The store is expected to close for good around the middle of January.
50 stores across the country that have franchise agreements in place will remain open.

Cocaine, Drugs Could Be Prince Harry's Vegas Party Bombshell
Cocaine could be the mysterious "something gigantic" being teased about the possible Prince Harry photos or videos that have yet to come out. Rats, I was hoping the "something gigantic" would be Hot Ginge's royal scepter, not drugs. The New York Post reports an eyewitness reportedly saw guests in Prince Harry's Las Vegas hotel suite snorting cocaine and that other people at the party were tripping on hallucinogenic mushrooms and "high on weed." (No, not high on weed!) The source says the people in possession of the pictures/videos are skittish "they don't want to be implicated for any illegal activities." Which is a good concern to have. It should be noted that the Post claims Prince Harry was not seen using any drugs. Alas, even if "he didn't inhale," allegedly having having cocaine, shrooms, and the demon weed in his hotel room would look bad.
I'm still holding out that this is just an awful rumor and there are more naked pics on the way. [New York Post]

two night ago, i got a suddon pain and i have been getting im pretty sure contractions since, it was every 15 mintues then went down to 8 minutes last night but it hasnt gone any lower then 8 mintues, should i go to hospital?
12th May 2013 08:57 AM #2
Hi Amber - with a first baby it is very common to get irregular contractions to to happen over a number of days (sometimes up to a week). It is your body getting ready for when labour starts. With established labour the contractions usually last 60 seconds long and are around 3 to 5 minutes apart (this is just a very general guide). You can ring your midwife or the hospital if you are unsure of what is happening and they will guide you what to do.

The Intrepid Herbivores: Exclusive Q & A and May 23 Screening (following the VVC Meet & Greet)
Sadie and Joe, those Intrepid Herbivores, are talented, passionate Portland-based vegans capturing their love for travel and vegan food in a new series, which they're sharing with Vida Vegan Con attendees (and family & friends!) who are in town early Thursday night.About the screening: This unofficial-but-welcome addition to the Vida Vegan Con agenda will be shown Thursday, May 23, at 6pm, immediately following our Meet & Greet, a bit further south at People's Coop. There is no admission fee, and the event is all ages. Details and RSVP are on their facebook event. To get a better idea of what they're all about, we did a Q & A with Sadie, the host of the growing series (more to come on that!) to discuss filming, finding vegan food around the globe, inspirations, and of course, where she likes to dine in Portland, OR. She's also shared two clips, so read on…
Interviewing The Intrepid Herbivores
Sadie Bowman (host) and Joe Bourguignon (cinematographer par excellence).
How would you sum up this project, The Intrepid Herbivores, in one word?
How did this idea come about?
I love to travel and love to eat, and after some bad experiences I realized that I had a habit of going on a trip and simply ranging around, hoping I would just discover awesome regional cuisine that I could eat as I wandered about. I often fell flat on my face when this delicious food didn't materialize of its own accord, feeling hungry, cranky, and disappointed for missing out on the cultural experience that comes with eating like a local. I realized I had been overlooking the step of actually researching ideas of what to look for and ways to ask for what I needed…On the day I met Joe we actually started talking about traveling, and he mentioned an independent idea he had about a documentary film on a similar topic. Eventually, we decided to join forces.
Even better, it has become a confluence of everything I love most—food and travel, obviously, but I come from a comedy and performing arts background so I get to employ some of that, and I've had a long-time hobby of studying foreign languages (which typically pans out to learning bits and pieces of many while mastering none). We incorporate vocabulary tools into the show to empower the viewer to ask questions and communicate their needs through a language barrier.
Everything about this is super awesome fun for me.
What do you hope people take away from it?
I want people to be excited about international tourism, and I want people to see how rich and varied the world of plant-based cuisine is. A lot of travel shows right now focus on cheese, meat and bugs (or other foods with a "gross-out" factor), and I just want people to know that you CAN eat incredibly well without all that, and that it is not a sacrifice.
I hope that omnivores will be intrigued by all of the choices that are out there, and I hope vegans and vegetarians will feel empowered to explore the world without fear of compromising their ideals.
As vegans who have traveled the world a bit, do you pack any "vegan emergency rations/treats," and if so, what are they?
Oh, yes. Much as I try to make it easy for myself, I know better than to not bring snacks everywhere I go! My standard is as many Lara bars as I can fit in my luggage. They are great not only because they last forever, but are super easy to tuck into the pockets of every day pack, purse, camera bag, etc, that you might be out and about with. Finding a previously hidden energy bar in your fanny pack during a time of need can be absolute deliverance. Not that I wear fanny packs.
What have your travels taught you about flavors?
Many parts of the world have produce and ingredients in common, but every culture I've visited has their own way of presenting the same things in their own ways. For instance, two places I've been in the past two years are Thailand and Mexico. Both share some common staple flavors such as chili, lime, cilantro. But Thai food tastes nothing like Mexican food. The addition of salty soy sauce to those three standard ingredients takes your tastebuds to Asia, while adding something earthy like cumin or oregano gives you a taste of Mexico. I love encountering exciting new-to-me ways to experience familiar ingredients.
Where do you want to explore next?
We have plans for the first season of the show to do a loop around the Mediterranean–visiting Morocco, Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Turkey.
What have you learned about international veganism?
There is definitely a visible vegan movement in all of the places I've visited recently. A definite uptick in the presence of specifically vegan and vegetarian restaurants. I was in Italy about a year and a half ago and tracked down this awesome vegan cafe in Florence where I got to eat ravioli and tiramisu. There are a ton of vegan restaurants in Mexico City where everything is based on regional specialties, same in Chiang Mai and other parts of Thailand. These are businesses that recognize their potential as destination restaurants for a growing vegan community. While I'm sure they cater to a lot of tourists, I also dined in the company of locals while I was there. Clearly this is not a Portland-contained bubble of a phenomenon. 🙂
I did have an interesting conversation with a young woman in Thailand. She told me she is vegetarian because she knows that a lot of restaurants in Bangkok harvest stray dogs and cats from the streets, and she couldn't bear to take the chance of eating meat. Say what you might about this "speciesist" stance–that she isn't willing to eat a cat or dog but would eat a different kind of animal–but I was shocked to learn that this is a real practice and not just an ugly stereotype I had heard about Asian food. This was only one person's reason for eschewing meat in her own culture, but it was an interesting phenomenon to learn about.
Also I've come to realize that a lot of cultures have their own historical or spiritual traditions that aren't called "being vegan," but largely run alongside that guideline. For instance, in Thailand there is a sect of Buddhist monks who eat a "jay" diet; which is essentially vegan. In Mexico, there is a recent re-emergence of traditional pre-Hispanic indigenous cuisine, which is mostly plant-based. Finding these little categories can open up a lot of choices that you might not find by going around asking for "vegan food," but they just happen to be meat and dairy-free (or easily so adapted).
What tips you have for others wanting to create their own vegan shows?
1) Know that you are part of a rising tide. I am so excited by the emergence of veganism into mainstream media. Even two years ago, when we were getting ready to film the pilot, this felt like a very fringy, very niche genre we were trying to nestle into. Since then there have been more and more personalities popping into mainstream consciousness and it is clear that the culture at large is on its way to shifting its focus, or at least enlarging its focus, to a point that includes veganism as a prevalent, normal way of life instead of an extreme "lifestyle." So make a vegan show. America is ready for it, the world is ready for it.
2) The more shows the better.
3) Have fun. Don't be preachy.
4) Invest in whatever you can to assure good production quality.
What are you making for your next dinner party?
I've been really into the recipes in Terry Hope Romero's new book, Vegan Eats World. I had guests last night for whom I made refried beans and seasoned jackfruit from that book, along with my own hibiscus and onion tacos, and fried plantains with cinnamon and agave for dessert. Because my most recent excursion was to Mexico I am still riding on all the exciting things I learned to love on that trip.
What's your go-to Thai dish to create for others?
While my heart lies in a red-hot bowl of chilis and I always prefer a spicy dish, my go-to for friends is almost always coconut sticky rice. It is easy to make and I don't think I've met anyone who doesn't love it. Here in Portland I usually top it with sliced bananas instead of mangos, as it is easier to get fairly sourced organic bananas here than some other tropical fruits.
We have to ask: Where's your favorite Thai food in Portland?
Vege Thai on Hawthorne. Not only can you go in there and order anything you want and know it will be free of fish sauce and other undesirables, (with the exception of I think one or two noodle dishes which contain eggs), it is good food and the staff is great. Pete, the owner, is a Bangkok native and was actually our language and culture consultant when we were planning our expedition to Thailand. He was very keen to help us and gave us some invaluable assistance.
Your favorite vegan-friendly restaurant and cart?
Oh boy. I'm assuming this is limited to the scope of Portland city limits. 🙂 I love Los Gorditos (both their restaurants and their cart) for absolutely addictive Mexican fare. Nicholas on NE Broadway has a fantastic vegan mezza that will adequately stuff two people. I know you didn't ask for a million responses, but it's so hard to narrow down "favorites" in the Portland vegan food scene. I mean, seriously…are we talking about ethnic food? Raw food? Brunch? Indulgent desserts or baked goods? Bar food? I have favorites in all of these categories!

We have it!
Check out more of what he has to say on it here:To be honest, when I heard all the controversy over this I was surprised. As for Rashad and his abilities I can say this: Today the IBJJF has created the No-Gi Jiu Jitsu tournaments. If Rashad were to compete in these tournaments, he would compete at the Black Belt level, without question. He is a Black Belt in No-Gi JJ.

Surrey Sleep Research Centre
Founded by Professor Derk-Jan Dijk in 2003, the Surrey Sleep Research Centre (SSRC) is home to forward-thinking multidisciplinary approaches to sleep research and offers a wide range of state-of-the-art equipment to monitor, record and analyse sleep patterns and sleep disorders. Facilities include 12 individual bedrooms/sleep laboratories and a 12-bed ward with infrared CCTV monitoring.
Learn more about our pioneering sleep research facilities.
Research with real-world impact
Sleep disorders are prevalent, with approximately 10 to 20 per cent of the European and US population reporting frequent sleep disruption. Nevertheless, effective strategies to alleviate sleep complaints and treat sleep disorders are often not available. That's where Surrey research is making a difference.
Our groundbreaking sleep studies are published in high impact academic journals, and our academics frequently appear on television and feature in national and international newspapers.
Our sleep research covers fascinating areas including:
- The regulation of human sleep by circadian rhythmicity (our internal body clock)
- The effects of light on sleep, performance and circadian rhythms
- Ageing, sleep and cognition
- The causes, consequences and treatment of circadian rhythm disorders as experienced by shift workers, transmeridian air travellers, blind people and older people
- The effects of insufficient sleep on cognition, mood and metabolism
- The effects of mistimed sleep and insufficient sleep on patterns of gene expression
- The investigation of new medicines to help you sleep (hypnotics) or to stay awake (wake promoting compounds) as counter measures in insomnia, shift work and jet lag.

Jefferson's Sons
Grades 5-9
Third U.S. President Thomas Jefferson lived at the plantation Monticello and kept slaves to work in his fields, farm and home. One of his slaves was a woman named Sally Hemings, mother to four of Jefferson's children - Beverly, Harriet, Maddy, and Eston. Though slaves, the children and their mother were given special treatment by Jefferson because of his discreet relationship to them - but nevertheless, slaves they remained.
Master Jefferson promises freedom to all four of his slave children upon their twenty-first birthdays, but Beverly, the eldest, cannot imagine leaving his mother, sister, brothers - but especially his father. Light-skinned and longing for a father figure, Beverly struggles with the secrecy of Jefferson's nonpublic identity as his father, especially when Jefferson presents him and his brothers with a kit violin and lessons. He and his siblings imagine a life where his mother, siblings and father could live openly together as a real family; a life that did not involve waiting on Master Jefferson's real children, especially the snippy Miss Martha.
Based on true events at Monticello during the early 1800s, Jefferson's Sons is a slave tale of a different order, exploring slavery and racial issues from the fresh perspective of Jefferson's slave children. The novel is a welcome look into one aspect of post-revolutionary slave life in Virginia that explores the bonds of family and friendship.

Financial Aid
A quality college education adds great value to a person's life and career, but many people fear that a private college education is too expensive. Our goal at Concordia is to make the cost of higher education manageable for students and families. Each year, Concordia provides over $7 million in scholarships and grants in addition to federal and state aid, for which more than 90% of our students qualify.
The Financial Aid Office assists students from all backgrounds to help meet the cost of attendance and considers a variety of information before formulating a student's financial aid award. We help students explore financial aid options, check the status of awards and other aid, resolve issues, and make payment arrangements. Our goal is to inform students of the resources available to attain a valuable, enjoyable, and affordable education at Concordia College.
We look forward to working with you.

Go There: Arugam Bay, Sri Lanka
Regularfoots Rejoice!
Where: The villages of Arugam Bay sit on the southeast coast of Sri Lanka, the teardrop-shaped isle off the southeast tip of India in the northern Indian Ocean between the Maldives and the Nicobar Islands.
What: Sri Lanka, which means meaning "resplendent land" in Sanskrit, is a beautiful, diverse island, and amazingly so for its small size. The pretty coastline around Arugam Bay (aru-gam) is no exception, being the southeast's most traveler- and surfer-friendly zone. Although many of its original structures were leveled by the 2004 tsunami and the country's civil war hangover still lingers, things have slowly come back around, and Arugam's long, user-friendly right points are as good as ever.
When: Anytime between May and October, with July and August being the peak surf-tourist months. The southwest monsoon is Arugam's primary swell-maker along with clean, distant southern groundswells that originate in the Roaring Forties. This is also the season that the prevailing west and southwest winds are fairly offshore for part of the day.
Why: Because Sri Lanka is one of the last truly cheap places to go, because the aura is friendly and relaxed, because there is a lot to do if the surf sucks, because it's an exotic place, and, last but not least, because the surf is reliable, consistent, and fun. The only downside is the actual surf size—it rarely gets bigger than head high or so. Still, Arugam is dreamy for a longboarder, a fish rider, or anybody with a penchant for small, rippable rights. There are one or two lefts in the vicinity, also.
How: From many major cities in Europe and southeast Asia, you can book a flight with Sri Lankan Airlines to Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) near Colombo. From there, surfers generally will hire a local bus or taxi for the ten-hour drive east to Arugam, which is on the island's opposite coast. Stopping overnight in Kandy is a popular option to break up the journey and ease the jet lag. Once you are in Arugam, you can hire a local tuk-tuk to drive you to various surf spots. You can also rent a motorbike.
Places To Stay: There are several options around Arugam, from beachfront bungalows to tree houses, and most are about $30/night; cheaper if you don't want air-conditioning, more if you do (and you probably will because Arugam is one hot, muggy place). Stardust Hotel is popular, as are the Siam Hotel, Tri-Star, Ranga's Beach Hut, and Blue Ocean Guesthouse.
Places To Eat: The town's main street will present you with an abundance of epic Sri Lankan cuisine (you're in luck if you like spicy food), from the standard local rice-and-curry dishes to more globally oriented fare to satisfy both the Eastern and Western palates. The Gecko sells epic breakfasts all day, plus ice cream, sandwiches, and steaks. Also check the restaurant at the Hang Loose Guesthouse. The Stardust Beach Hotel is good, too.
Dudes And Babes: Since Arugam is pretty heavy on tourism, there are loads of people there during the surf season, everybody from massive Israeli surf posses to Danish backpackers and Australian honeymooners and Brits learning to surf. It's an eclectic mix, and with eclecticism, you have options. And it's perhaps possible to partner up with a local Sri Lankan if you're keen. But don't expect any Vegas-style nightlife.
Crowd Factor: In August at the main point at Arugam, you might as well be surfing at Malibu or Noosa. Hordes of surfers hang in Sri Lanka at that time, particularly Israelis, but there are crews from just about everywhere else, too. So you may want to skip August. Still, there are numerous spots in the area, so a few more minutes on a tuk-tuk could deposit you at an empty, sand-bottomed right point of your liking.
Stuff To Bring: A surf hat and a long-sleeved white rashguard are important because the Sri Lankan sun is positively scorching. Reef booties aren't really necessary as the reefs are friendly and most places are sandy. Regarding surfboards, bring whatever you'd normally ride in fun, user-friendly waves—we recommend a fish in addition to your normal shortboard. A longboard can never hurt, but they suck to travel with, and rentals are available in Arugam.
If The Surf Is Flat: There are heaps of things to do, but one of the most popular is wildlife viewing since Arugam is on the edge of Yala East National Park. On any given day you can see elephants, wild boar, water buffalos, crocodiles, and exotic birds. There are also some good snorkelling and diving areas. Bronzing on the beach with a cold Lion Lager is a good option, as well as just doing nothing at all.
More Information: For something in hard-copy form, Lonely Planet's Sri Lanka (11th edition) is great. Otherwise, there's a lot of information online. Try srilankatourism.org, go-lanka.com, arugam.info, and arugambay.com. Surf packages are available from companies like Atoll Travel (atolltravel.com) and Sri Lanka Surf Tours (srilankasurftour.com).—Mike Kew

If we're talking cuts taking place on June 1st or shortly thereafter, I would doubt that we'd see any cuts from the Eagles. June 1st cuts are generally overpriced veterans who are cut because of salary cap reasons. There aren't really any candidates on the Eagles.
The guys who have been mentioned are guys who are definitely battling for roster spots. Things change over the offseason once injuries start cropping up.
Grasmanis might make the squad if say Darwin Walker goes down with an ACL tear. Otherwise, he's probably on the short list out of town. There are a bunch of O-Lineman who are battling for just a couple spots. There are way too many mediocre running backs, so McCoo, Mahe, Tapeh, Perry, Parry are all a bit iffy.
Long offseason, though...

SIERK beat me to it but I'll leave the post up anyway:
Why would any of these be cut now? None of them have that high of a cap hit that would need to be spread out. I don't see anybody being cut until training camp unless they make a signing (to some extend I'm counting the drafted).
They've shown with Ephraim and Mitchell and even Wayne that they'll cut they now rather than hang on to them and stretch dead money into another year (June 1st allows dead money to be spread for this season and next season's cap).
While I agree that Grasmanis, Mahe and the rest have some work to ensure they make the roster they're here for a little longer to ensure the team has the depth they want going into camp as well as the season. [By the way, does anyone else think we might keep both Ritchie (if healthy) and Parry? Do you think Parry might be taught the role of a blocking TE? he has decent hands out of the back field just his speed would limit him but that's not a factor with LJ around]
--As a whole, I think alot of people will be frustrated with the June 1st cuts because the quality just isn't there anymore as team learn to work the cap.

Eh. If they are going to keep an extra guy as a blocking tight end, train Scott Young or Calvin Armstrong. Young was a college defensive lineman, so he might have a little more athleticism than your run-of-the-mill OG prospect. He might never catch a pass, but I think roster spots are going to be too rare to bother keeping Parry/Ritchie in addition to L.J., Whalen/Chad Lewis, Bartrum.
Speaking of the RB situation, hopefully they'll all stay healthy and it'll shake out as Westbrook, Buckhalter, Moats, Ritchie. And that's it. Well, I guess if Bruce Perry is healthy, he'll probably make the squad, but I'd still rather go with just 4 RBs and save the roster space for other positions.

come on dude, you cant just make a lineman a TE.
Thats at the same level as the people who said last year that because JR Reed could return kicks he should get a look at rb.
If anyone the Eagles should see if that 2nd year te Jason Peters is lingering around anywhere. He was like 318 but a legit TE in college at Arkansas (i think)

A blocking TE is very nearly an O-Lineman anyway. If you'd rather, think of it as a formation with an extra tackle.
My point was more that the depth at O-Line is good, but there are going to be guys who are cut that might turn out to be pretty good because there aren't enough roster spaces.
I'd rather see them keep an extra young O-Lineman rather than 2 fullbacks.

Sorry maybe I should have clarified -- I think if Whalen doesn't impress enough with his skills and/or LJ's back does look as promising as everyone says it should they might want to keep Parry rather than one of the young guys (who would go on the PS instead)....if we're looking for pure blocking though, you're right - we should keep another young o-line but Parry gives the dimension of catching and blocking and knowledge of the system. I wasn't trying to say it was ideal just that they might try to have him work (even just at training camp) as a hybrid type player that can cover for us at both FB and TE. Think of how many times over the past few years that CLEwis would move behind the line and then stay in to block or stay momentarily and then go out for a short catch.

CBS, NBC rejected United Church of Christ ad as "too controversial," despite networks' past airing of advocacy ads
Research ››› ››› JEREMY CLUCHEY
Despite their past willingness to air advocacy ads, CBS, UPN, and NBC have refused to run an advertisement for the United Church of Christ (UCC) that promoted inclusion of gays, racial minorities and people with disabilities because they consider it "too controversial" and "unacceptable for broadcast," according to a UCC press release. The ad depicts bouncers outside a church turning away gay, minority, and disabled parishioners, followed by the text: "Jesus didn't turn people away. Neither do we." Both CBS and NBC have aired advocacy advertising in the past -- including an ad put out by the George W. Bush administration and political infomercials by former presidential candidate H. Ross Perot.
According to UCC, CBS cited the current political controversy surrounding the issue of same-sex marriage -- noting in particular the Bush administration's endorsement of the Federal Marriage Amendment -- as justification for not airing the ad on CBS and UPN (both owned by Viacom). From the UCC press release:
"Because this commercial touches on the exclusion of gay couples and other minority groups by other individuals and organizations," reads an explanation from CBS, "and the fact the Executive Branch has recently proposed a Constitutional Amendment to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman, this spot is unacceptable for broadcast on the [CBS and UPN] networks."
It is not clear from the excerpt quoted by UCC what CBS could possibly think is the connection between the administration's endorsement of a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage and the promotion of inclusiveness by a church. But even if there were such a connection -- that is, even if the UCC's "position" could be reasonably deemed in opposition to that of the administration -- the question remains: How does CBS justify rejecting an ad that purportedly conflicts with the Bush administration's views, given CBS' apparent willingness to air advocacy ads that support administration policies? As Media Matters for America documented, in criticizing the network for refusing to run a progressive group's ad critical of the administration during the 2004 Super Bowl, Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL) noted with approval that CBS ran a "risky, edgy, controversial" but "important" ad sponsored by the Bush White House-operated Office of National Drug Control Policy during the previous year's Super Bowl broadcast.
A statement from NBC deemed the UCC spot "too controversial," according to the UCC press release. But NBC's approach to advocacy advertising has previously been described as "flexible," since the network "twice sold [former presidential candidate H. Ross] Perot 30-minute blocks, in March and April 1993, to attack [former president Bill] Clinton's economic plans. 'It's a matter of discretion, when we have the time available,' NBC general counsel Rick Cotton said." [Memphis Commercial Appeal, 7/22/94]
According to the UCC press release, the ad "has been accepted and will air on a number of networks, including ABC Family, AMC, BET, Discovery, Fox, Hallmark, History, Nick@Nite, TBS, TNT, Travel and TV Land, among others."

Box Score (PDF)
PHILADELPHIA - In a contest with a combined 54 fouls, Yale won the battle from the free throw line and ultimately walked away with a 68-59 win over the University of Pennsylvania's men's basketball team on Friday night at The Palestra. Henry Brooks was Penn's top scorer on the night with 12 points and Tony Hicks chipped in with 11 more, but each player fouled out before the night was over.
Things started brightly for Penn (4-17, 1-3 Ivy) as Brooks hit a hook shot and a jumper for a 4-0 lead while holding Yale scoreless for nearly the first three minutes of the game. The Bulldogs eventually got on track and reeled off nine straight - all from Armani Cotton - to take the 9-4 edge before Miles Cartwright could make a layup to end the run.
After a second foul was whistled on Hicks, Patrick Lucas-Perry came into the game and promptly nailed a pair of jumpers to allow Penn to retake the lead, 14-13. Things would swing back and forth for a few minutes until Dau Jok connected on three consecutive 3-pointers in less than three minutes of game action to stake the Quakers to a 25-20 advantage. The lead would grow to as many as six in the final moments of the half and Penn went into the locker room up three, 32-29.
Both teams tightened the screws defensively in the second half, but along with that defensive emphasis was a major uptick in the number of fouls called. After a two minute scoring drought for both teams, Hicks -held scoreless in the first half - drove in and scored to put Penn up, 36-33, at the 16-minute mark.
Yale rallied back to lead thanks to a pair of jumpers from Sam Martin and an unrelenting press, but Brooks scored his final bucket of the evening and Hicks came back the next time down the floor, spinning on a dime to beat the Bulldog defense to the rim to knot things up at 44-44 with 10 minutes to go. After an offensive foul moments later on Javier Duren, Yale used a timeout to slow the Quaker momentum.
Whatever message was delivered in that huddle certainly seemed to have the desired effect. Yale came out with a 10-0 run over four minutes, taking its largest lead of the contest with 6:38 to play. It would be nearly another minute off the clock before Hicks could end the drought.
Suddenly, it was Penn who could do no wrong. A missed three-pointer on the Yale end led to a run-out dunk from Hicks to slice the deficit to six, 54-48. Two made free throws from Lucas-Perry and a corner three from Hicks put a cap on the Quaker run, but the whistle blew as Hicks' three fell through the net. Though the basket counted, a loose-ball foul on Penn meant Yale would come out of the final media timeout shooting a pair at the line on the other end.
Matt Townsend connected on both freebies and scored the next time down the floor as well. Suddenly down five with the clock rolling under three minutes, Penn's guards began to attack the basket. On consecutive trips, the first shot hit glass and fell off the rim, but Greg Louis was there on each occasion to gather the rebound and score while being fouled. With a chance to eat into Yale's lead even more, both foul shots were strong off the back rim, leaving the Quakers in a two-point hole with a minute-and-a-half remaining.
The dagger came from Austin Morgan. Yale's leading scorer had been held to just six points up to that point, but he confidently stepped into a 3-pointer from the left wing and knocked it down with just over a minute left to put Yale up, 62-57. Hicks missed a shot on the next trip down the floor and the Bulldogs began a parade to the charity stripe from there, hitting their final six to ice the game.
Yale ended the night shooting 24-31 from the free throw line, including 15-21 in the second half alone. The Bulldogs had a 45-34 edge over Penn on the glass, including 21 offensive boards which led to a 19-7 advantage in second chance points.
Jok was Penn's third double-figure scorer on the night, ending with 10 points. Lucas-Perry ended with nine points and six boards while Louis added four points and eight rebounds.
Penn is back in action tomorrow night, hosting Brown (8-11, 2-3 Ivy) at The Palestra beginning at 7 p.m.
Notes: Penn hadas manyturnovers (17)as Yale (17), the fourth time in five games the Quakers matched or had fewer turnovers than its opponent ... Penn had six blocked shots, giving the Quakers 18 in the last three games ... Penn tied a season low with three steals ... Sophomore Henry Brooks led Penn with 12 points, his third double-figure scoring game this season ... Brooks led Penn in scoring in the game, becoming the eighth different player to lead the Quakers in scoring in a game this season ... Freshman Tony Hicks had 11 points, his second-straight double-figure scoring game and eighth this season (all of his points were scored after halftime)... Junior Dau Jok scored 10 points, his second double-figure scoring game at Penn ... Jok went 3-of-5 on three-pointers; he is 5-of-7 beyond the arc in Penn's last two games ... Junior Miles Cartwright went 4-of-4 from the foul line; he has hit 21 straight free throws over the last four games ... Sophomore Greg Louis led Penn with eight rebounds, his best total in a game since he grabbed 11 at Delaware on Dec. 21 ... Sophomore Patrick Lucas-Perry had nine points, giving him 38 in the last four games (9.5 ppg) ... Lucas-Perry also set a season/career high with six rebounds.

On Saturday, September 12th Valley Forward held its 29th Annual Environmental Excellence Awards Gala. With Fox 10 News' Troy Hayden as master of ceremonies for the event, there was never a dull moment.
Title sponsor SRP and Diane Brossart, president of Valley Forward, put together another spectacular celebration of sustainability. More than 150 nominations came in for this year's awards — more than any previous year — showing that despite difficult economic times, the public's commitment to sustainability has not wavered.
METRO Light Rail was the 2009 President's Award (Best of Show) recipient, further highlighting the achievements of the newest addition to the Valley's transportation system. METRO Light Rail was also honored with a first-place Crescordia Award in the Livable Communities, Multi-modal Transportation & Connectivity category.
Crescordia is a Greek term that means "to grow in harmony," and that's the overall message that came across during this year's awards. Each acceptance speech reiterated the importance of responsible economic growth, and keeping the environment in mind for a brighter future for our state.
Check out the full list of winners here.
It was a great experience to see all of the amazing projects, and the progress Arizona has made toward a more sustainable future. An added bonus was being able to mingle with a crowd of esteemed professionals, as well as community and business leaders.
Along with the award winners, Brossart announced AZ Big Media / Arizona Business Magazine's blog partnership with Valley Forward. She will be a guest blogger on the AZ Green Scene once a month, so check back soon as we'll have some great posts coming our way.

Ugh trying out the beta and my phone went blank and now sits here and vibrates.. i cant reset or anything!
update: disconnected the battery and it restarted with no issues
iPhone 4S - had no issues with IOS 6
IOS 7 - Beta 1
Charged battery three times today and every thing is off
Go to turn it on at times and see the Apple logo
The camera app once you take a pic and want to see it it hangs
At times it's pretty sluggish
It gets pretty warm when charging
I haven't had any issues on my 5 and the battery still lasted 8 hours at work with pretty heavy usage.
I'm thinking of coughing up the $99 to get a developers account so i can get my grubby paws on ios-7 to try out :-)
Do i need a Mac to be able to do this or can i use my windows 8 laptop. I thought all developers needed a Apple Mac to be able to run?
Sorry to as such a noob question lol
i just want contact pictures to be added to the messages and contacts app, as well as a quick reply option.
i'm guessing I need to contact apple for this request?
In my case yes, the battery drain much more than before, Kik app crash like eBay app and look like Airdrop is not working... some people with the same problem with Airdrop like me? My iMac can't see the iPhone and my iPhone can't see my iMac neither. Not complaining, just testing.
- restore to ios 6.1.3/.4 depending of your phone
-set up as new iphone
-update to ios 7 using the ipsw file that doesn require a dev account
The most important part is that u update and not restore updating wont try to activate your phone once this is done you can restore from backup to get ur files back...

Tip for Burglars: Get Away Before Opening the Tequila
(NEWSER) – A couple near Sacramento returned home to discover that their home had been burglarized and—cue the suspense music—that an intruder was still inside. But that's where the movie-like drama fizzles a bit: "He was passed out," Lori Hensley tells Fox40 Sacramento. "That's when we locked him in our house and called the police." The cops arrived, though the suspect refused to leave for hours until the SWAT team barged in. Alejandro Hurtado, 27, faces felony burglary charges, and this might help explain things: He "had several bottles of our tequila," says Hensley.

Why Students (and Obama) Should Quit Complaining About College Costs
It's back-to-college time, which means it's the season for bitching and moaning about rising college costs, lack of access to higher education, and the pressing need for even more taxpayer-funded subsidies to the leaders of tomorrow. In just the past few days, we've been subjected to breathless reports that "college tuition costs" have risen 500 percent since 1985 and a mini-campaign swing by President Obama touting more free money for students and a federally sanctioned knock-off of college guides already provided by The Princeton Review, U.S. News & World Report, Washington Monthly, Barron's, and countless other sources.
Enough already. The plain facts are that college is still well within reach of most Americans, the wage premium for a college sheepskin remains huge, and student loans are not a new form of indentured servitude. You wouldn't get any of that from grandstanding politicians always looking for a new way to rob Peter to buy Paul's vote, an educational establishment that's always on the hunt for new revenue sources, and a news media that alternates between the credulity and ignorance of, well, a first-semester freshman.
According to the latest figures from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), total tuition, fees, room, and board at four-year colleges for the 2011-12 academic year came to $23,066 on average. For state schools, the cost was substantially less (about $16,000 per year) and for private schools, it was substantially more (about $34,000 per year). In inflation-adjusted dollars (as opposed to the unadjusted figures favored by alarmists), that's about twice as much as costs were in 1985. As a recent New York Times headline put it, "College Costs: Rising, Yet Often Exaggerated."
Rising costs (and we'll get to reasons for that in a moment) haven't deterred people from going to college. About 68 percent of high school seniors enroll in two- or four-year higher education right after they graduate, a percentage that has stayed at or near historic highs for the past decade. (In 1985, by comparison, just 58 percent enrolled.) If college were being priced out of the reach of most Americans, that percentage would surely be cratering, especially in the depths of the Great Recession.
Coming up with $23,000 a year for a residential college is a lot of money, but the sticker price is routinely offset by various grants and other forms of aid (as in everything else, only suckers pay retail). There's also a good reason why so many people go on for more schooling. Depending on your assumptions, a college degree generally increases lifetime earnings between $280,000 and $1 million. According to NCES, full-time, annual median earnings for college grads between 25 and 34 are about $15,000 per year more than they are for high school grads.
As important, college grads at every stage of their careers are far less likely to be unemployed than non-grads. Recent grads are about 2 percentage points less likely to be unemployed than the typical worker, and older college grads are half as likely to be unemployed as those with a high-school diploma.

Matthew 13
10 And the disciples came,and said unto him,"Why speakest thouunto them in parables?"
11 He answeredand said unto them,"Because it is given unto youto know the mysteriesof the of heaven,but to them it is not given."
12 "For whosoever hath,to him shall be given,and he shall have more abundance:but whosoever hath not, from himshall be taken away even that he hath."
18 "Hear ye thereforethe parable of the sower."
19 "When anyone heareth the wordof the kingdom, and understandeth it not,when cometh the wicked one,and catcheth awaythat which was sown in his heart.This is he which receivedseed by the way side."
20 "But he that received the seedinto stony places,the same is he that heareth the word,and anon with joy receiveth it;"
21 "Yet hath he not root in himself,but dureth for a while:for when tribulation or persecutionariseth because of the word,by and by he is offended."
22 "He also that received seedamong the thorns is he thatheareth the word;and the care of this world,and the deceitfulness of riches,choke the word,and he becometh unfruitful."
23 "But he that received seedinto the good groundis he that heareth the word,and understandeth it;which also beareth fruit,and bringeth forth,some an hundred-fold,some sixty, some thirty."
Jesus is like a diamond. Every facet of him contributes to the brilliance of the whole. To the sorrowing he brings solace, to the seekers he brings knowledge, to the poor he brings the kingdom of God, to the rich he brings poverty of the spirit, to the strong, humility, to the weak, strength. He is many things, and he is different to each one who comes to him. He has many faces, many aspects, and it has to be so.
It is the same is with Buddha, it is the same is with all those who have awakened - because when they talk to you or relate to you they talk to you and they relate to you. They respond. They cannot give more than that which you can take: they cannot give you that for which you have not asked; they cannot give you that for which you are not ready. They can only give you that for which you have come.

What allows evil to persist, Aquinas believed, is the "lack of good" by other people.
I suspect his final opera omni in a critical German edition will equal in length that of Augustine, Aquinas, and Bonaventure.
He wanted to read everything Augustine and Aquinas had ever written about just war theory.
This professor at Aquinas College in Michigan has a rule: if your phone rings in class, you must answer it on speakerphone.
Sorry Augustine, Aquinas, Dante, and Erasmus you must have been just a bad dream.
In general, Aquinas maintained in different senses the real existence of universals ante rem, in re and post rem.
At all events, so he was interpreted by Averroes and later by Aquinas.
Was Sister Aquinas so carried away as to be forgetful that Sarella was not the only auditor?
The way of knowledge is less prominent with Bonaventura than with Aquinas.
This work, Contra Gentiles, may be taken as an elaborate exposition of the method of Aquinas.
