Scientists have identified the genomes of two distinct strains of a virus within an individual—an achievement that could be useful to forensic scientists trying to trace a person's travel history.
"It's possible that more people have their life history documented at the molecular level in the HSV-1 strains they carry."
The research—done with the virus that causes the common lip cold sore, herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1)—also opens the door to understanding how a patient's viruses influence the course of disease.
Most people harbor HSV-1, frequently as a strain acquired from their mothers shortly after birth and carried for the rest of their lives. Scientists made the discovery with the help of a volunteer from the United States. The research reveals that one strain of the HSV-1 virus harbored by this individual is of a European/North American variety and the other is an Asian variety—likely acquired during the volunteer's military service in the Korean War in the 1950s.
"It's possible that more people have their life history documented at the molecular level in the HSV-1 strains they carry," says Derek Gatherer, a lecturer in the Division of Biomedical and Life Sciences at Lancaster University in the United Kingdom and a member of the research team.
[How stress sets off a herpes cold sore]
Earlier research by the same team has demonstrated that the geographical origin of HSV-1 can be predicted, as well. Since Asian, African, and European/North American varieties of the virus exist, and the virus is often acquired early in life, the research implies that a personal strain of HSV-1 can reflect a person's origin. Another implication is that two individuals who have identical strains of HSV-1 are more likely to be related than those who have different strains.
"Using similar genetic fingerprinting of HSV-1 could help flesh out a person's life story, adding an extra layer of genetic information not provided by our genomes alone. Forensic virology could be on the way in the same way in which we use genetic fingerprinting of our human DNA to locate perpetrators at the scene of a crime and to help trace the relatives of unidentified bodies," Gatherer says.
"We're working on better ways to sequence viral genomes from ever-smaller amounts of starting material, to allow identification and comparison of samples from diverse sources," says Moriah L. Szpara, assistant professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at Penn State University.
"Deep sequencing of viruses like HSV-1 will provide a better view of the viral genetic diversity that individuals harbor, and will provide valuable information about how that influences the course of disease."
Moriah is also affiliated with Penn State's Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences. Coauthors of the study in the journal Virology are from Princeton University, the University of Pittsburgh, Georgia State University, and Emory University.
Startup funds from Penn State, along with funding from the National Institutes of Health, the Eye and Ear Institute of Pittsburgh, and Research to Prevent Blindness, Inc. supported the work.

Contact: Lindsay Nelson, Teleios Research, 843-819-0201GOOSE CREEK, S.C., June 15, 2017 /Christian Newswire/ -- Teleios Research conducted a survey by recruiting respondents from visitors to InstaPray, a Christian Instagram account. There were 884 participants surveyed about their Christian life and how church affected their wellbeing. The majority of participants: attended church at least 4+ times/month (80%); were female (73%); ages 18-30 (39%); reside in the USA (56%); college or post-graduate degree (30%); employed (37%) and evangelical (77%).How does church/church members help your wellbeing? The 3 most common responses are noted below:
The above list is encouraging in that the church is emphasizing spiritual growth, prayer and praise in young church attendees. However, the amazing finding is that Christian adolescents have the same desires for their church experience as the millennial generation. How does church leadership help your wellbeing? The 3 most common responses are noted below.
Dr. William Stewart, cofounder of Teleios, Inc, commented "The church functions not to meet its own institutional needs primarily, but to equip its members to impact the world for the gospel and to serve the local community for the common good. These results demonstrate the incredible unity, across the world and age groups, provided by the Bible and promoted by the Holy Spirit among young evangelicals."More data from this study can be found here teleiosresearch.com/index.php/church-wellbeing-survey. Teleios, a non-profit foundation, seeks to demonstrate the truth of Scripture and the Christian faith through the scientific method by providing evidence for the positive results of a biblically-based lifestyle teleiosresearch.com.

|Workshop & Meeting Facilitation
|An experienced and skilled facilitator assists in getting members to: express their fears and expectations, actively work to create a climate of safety and acceptance, provide encouragement and support as members explore highly personal material or as they try new behavior, involve as many members as possible in the group interaction by inviting and sometimes even challenging members to participate, work toward lessening the dependency on the leader, encourage open expression of conflict and controversy and help members overcome barriers to direct communication.Creative Interchange's aim is the same as yours; assist them in opening up clear communication among the members and help them reach their goals by encouraging them to increase their responsibility for the direction of their group.

|The realities of Wellness—the process of continuous striving towards one's level of optimal health—is at the core of Creative Interchange's Personal Development Workshops.Through realizing and appreciating the interrelatedness of the mind, body, and spirit, the participant is better positioned to make self-discoveries that are new and bold.
|Community Development Workshops
|The African proverb "it takes a village to raise a child" is laudable and is often repeated by many. Yet, it presupposes the village is a healthy one up to the task of raising children. Either the village has a basic knowledge about the world, the skills vital to navigating in that world coupled with an ability to adapt to change, or the village cannot compete in the new global human ecology. And if the village cannot compete, there is no longer a place for it or its population in the world. Creative Interchange's national and international involvements are presented in a way that participants in his Community Development Workshops depart wanting to begin work that will leave their communities more beautiful and beneficial then when they inherited them.

Diagnosis of Canine Distemper
Diagnosis can be difficult and is based on the dog's vaccination history, clinical symptoms, and laboratory tests.
Blood tests usually are not helpful in the diagnosis, although in some cases they may reveal lymphopenia (a deficiency of lymphocytes, a type of immune system cell) during early infection, followed by leukocytosis (an increase in the number of white blood cells circulating through the blood) during later infection.
Imaging studies (e.g., x-rays, CT scans) can diagnose pneumonia.
Inclusion bodies (unique cellular structures that indicate the presence of the virus) can be detected with microscopic examination of buffy coat cells (cells that make up the "buffy layer" of centrifuged blood) and conjunctival secretions (secretions from the conjunctiva, the inner lining of the eyelids). A negative result does not rule out the possibility that the dog has distemper.
An immunofluorescent assay can detect viral antigens (proteins that the immune system manufactures to fight the virus) in the buffy coat cells and conjunctival secretions when inclusion bodies are not visible. Immunofluorescence involves using special proteins labeled with a fluorescent chemical that bind to the antigens and make them visible. Again, a negative result does not rule out the possibility that the dog has distemper.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a technique that helps identify the virus's genetic material, is usually more sensitive than either microscopic examination for viral inclusions or immunofluorescence. It can be a difficult procedure and it is not always successful.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can be examined for CDV-specific antibodies and elevated levels of particular proteins and cells that indicate the presence of the virus.
Canine Distemper Differential Diagnosis
Many diseases can cause symptoms resembling canine distemper and should be ruled out during diagnosis. Respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough and labored breathing) could be caused by bacterial pneumonia. Intestinal symptoms (e.g., vomiting and diarrhea) could be caused by gastroenteritis (an inflammatory bowel disease). Seizures and other neurological symptoms could be caused by toxoplasmosis (a protozoan infection) or epilepsy.

I'm buying new skates. I've decided on everything but the size...LOL.
The Dance and Ring frames are the same except one has a toe stop. The Energy, Mistral, Mariner's Cup, and Variant M are nearly identical except for the metal used. The Mariner's Cup and Variant come with rubber cushions and the Variant doesn't have click action. But they have the same degree kingpin online the Dance. The Matrix is kinda an oddity. The front and back are different. Not sure if it is the kingpin or just the cushions and hangar. The Matrix definitely has a lower geometry.
I met with a Roll Line rep from Italy once. He was reluctant to write the angles down for me. I keep asking SkatesUS because I can never remember. All I can remember is that most of the frames have the same geometry while the dance/ring are more aggressive. The other ones are all a bit unusual. John Bircham, who I spoke with extensively, uses the evo...but either he or Lorenzo broke it while we were in Orlando.
I use ceramic bones for figures. The longevity and free roll are superior to the regular bones. So I use regular for general use/all purpose and ceramic for dance and figures.

I spoke with a female skater who answered the phone at Roll Line. She told me that the Dance plate has a 30 degree angle.
I remember a post somewhere on this forum awhile ago where someone measured the angles of many of the Roll Line plates.
Sir Aaron, do you feel a difference skating dance with the bones ceramics vs. the regular bones swiss?

As to the bearings, yes, I feel a difference. Not at first, but over time. The ceramics seem to hold up better over time. That is they give me longer free roll (which I'm defining as the roll I get after a single push) than the regular after a great deal of usage. I have 12 pairs of skates between my family and in general, the ceramics tend to last much, much longer. I've also noticed on the figure skates I coach (I only help with figures), the ceramics tend to give a much longer roll. The difference seems quite stark as soon as the switch is made. So much so that I don't recommend them to new skaters since I think it can give bad habits.
You can also pay Bones $100 to rebuild the Swiss bearings which I've done.

Hey BlondeWitch
I've listened to people talking about plates for years and have tried so many of them.
I sk8d on Snyder Supers for a while and then Imperials but since I was selling Atlas at the time (pro shop/sporting goods store) my (then) wife suggested I sk8 on Atlas. I tried them and while they were ok, I decided to go back to my old Snyder Imperials. I've sk8d on them for over 30 years. Also they are mounted WRONG. Well, wrong for anybody else, but they were right for me, bcuz I experimented with many things and settled on a mounting that is 1/4" off center. I'm sure neither you nor anybody else could sk8 on them bcuz they are so radically mounted.
Also, my sk8s started life as a size 12 Super. They had 4 broken hangers, which I removed and replaced with Imperial hangers with nylon pivot pin cups. I cut the back end off the plate to make them into a size 6. (Go ahead and call me strange)
I got many comments on my "old" sk8s and several years ago a fella came up to me as I came off the floor at regionals. He asked what sk8 I was on - Imperials.
He exclaimed "Oh, that's O-O-O-OLD OBSOLETE sixty's technology. You NEED to get something modern".
So I asked him, "If I get some of those new-fangled rollERline plates, will that make me sk8 better ?!?"
PRICELESS LOOK on his face, he said, "Forget I said anything about it. I can't beat you, anyhow !" He turned and walked away and didn't speak to me for the next couple years. I've won 3 national (dance) championships and lost count of how many silver and bronze medals at the nationals, all on those (OLD OBSOLETE 60's technology) Franken-Imperials.
The Imperial is the high performance sports car of dance sk8s. The rollERline has TRIED to copy the performance/feel of it. Yes, it comes close.
Just close....
Also, I had manufactured a set of light weight imperial plates - thin aluminum plate, titanium axles and king pins, aluminum lock nuts, no jump bar (it's steel), no toe stop, and while it functioned just like the heavy-weight Imperial, the reduced weight of it translated into just a bit more floor speed - the lighter the assembly, the faster you can move your foot to PUSH. I had this combination under the RISPORT boot, which was 3 or 4 ounces lighter than the Reidell I'd been using. The advantage of overall weight reduction helps. However, the wheels are HEAVY (someone needs to make a wheel with a BIG light-weight plastic hub and a very thin tire. The tire is the heavy component of the wheel), the bearings are heavy so use those small bearings [which, by the way, are not all that durable], and the leather boots are heavy, too. So the combination of the light Edea/Risport boot and rollERline plate is a reasonable improvement. However, the total weight of the assembly is only about 6 or 8 ounces lighter, total. Overall, not much, when you consider one sk8 weighs close to 4 Lbs. The wheels/bearings need to be lightened a LOT !
Well, last year at the nationals I broke down and got a set of those new-fangled rollER line dance plates (at the urging of my dance partner) and, while they are OK, I'd rather be on my (OLD OBSOLETE 60's technology) Imperials.
People talk about "LOW Center of Gravity". Look at how close the wheels are to the plate (and the nuts holding the plate on the screws) and think about how far you can tilt the plate before it hits the wheels. (I've had grooves from the screws in my wheels in some of the experiments I've done in the past. I KNOW how far one can press an edge and still clear the hardware)
The Imperial sits only about 1/10 inch higher than that rollERline plate. Not enough for the average sk8r to feel.
There are those who claim one plate doesn't give them the "stability/feel" of other plates. I suggest they haven't used them long enough to adjust to the cushion sets they have.
And the Atlas was THE biggest marketing scam ever perpetrated on the sk8ing community. Yes, it was faster to respond to an edge change, but with a simple change of the locking nut and cushions on the Snyder Super, it could have performed as well as the Atlas. I'm also amazed that Charlie Snyder never went to the NYLON PIVOT PIN CUP, as Atlas used.
You can put a Snyder truck on the Atlas and put an Atlas truck on a Snyder Super. Not many people realize that. They are the same design. The only difference is that the Super has a 15* king pin while the Atlas measured out to 17*. Yes, that would make it a bit more responsive. But then, on the figure circles, correcting your misteaks faster would also translate into MAKING misteaks FASTER, too. (pay me now, or pay me later, so to speak)
While I have a set of dance plates, I haven't measured the angle of the king pin.
Nor have I checked the overall dimensions of the truck to see if it's similar to the Super/Atlas.
Not that I really care, since I'm torn between it and the Imperial. I'd like to go back to my Imperial, just for sh8s and grins.
As Rick said, adjust your cushions and "get used to them" ! I sk8 on a set of soft urethane cushions adjusted so LOOSE that the trucks dangle/wobble. When I push on the sk8, I don't want it pushing back/resisting me. It should go WHERE I WANT !
Today's equipment is good enough that not many people can REALLY tell the difference between 'this sk8' and "that one". If they say they dislike one, ax them WHY. MAKE them describe WTF it is they don't like. Most of the time they will not be able to articulate EXACTLY why/what they dislike about a particular platform.
Wheels are a totally different subject - ROLL, TIGHT, WEAR, etc.
I've sk8d on Bones 101's and then 103's since they first came out. They are good, but when the floor is a bit slick, I use the 40 caliber Complicatedxxxx Oops, 40 hardness white Komplex Bolero. Not only do they roll well, they are TIGHT !
Yes, equipment means something, but it's not everything. YOU have to do the work.
I sk8 on a set of wheels for 3 and 4 years and do not round the edges off or put flats on them. That's bcuz I don't DRAG THEM TO SLOW DOWN ! Watch people and listen to them complain how they get FLAT spots on their (soft/bad/defective) wheels. You will see that they drag them to slow down. They will say that they DON't do that. Call them out every time you see them doing it. I've done that many times in the past. It pisses them off. I even had one 70-year old fart claim flats bcuz he pushed SO HARD and wanted me to replace his wheel bcuz it was bad. YEAH, Ri-i-i-ight.
What counts is that YOU learn how to do the FUNDAMENTAL BASICS and then stick to what is right, and feels good to you.
Then practice til you can do it right.
Some people practice so they can get it right.
Champions practice til they CAN'T DO IT WRONG !
Now go practice some more....
Not "5 minutes" and then BS, for half hour with someone who happens along.
PRACTICE for a half hour.
And then practice for ANOTHER HALF HOUR !
Wear yourself out !
NO BS ! You've paid a lotta $$$$ to sk8 on the floor. GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH ! BS at the cafe AFTER you remove your sk8s.
BTW, I always sk8 my dances with one big stop and I only/always use it to STOP. It never gets in my way. I make sure of that.
One other thing - your boot must FIT your foot ! But that's another completely different story which I could spend much time on and most people wouldn't be interested in WTF I know about boot fit. Even CUSTOM BOOTS don't fit your foot properly. I've had several and always had to make custom orthotics to finalize the fit. Can you say "EXCESS VOLUME" inside the boot ? MANY years of making and fitting MY custom orthotics to MY foot to allow the foot to control my boot/plate.
Cheers, and hope you sk8 well.

good post and to the point, get a well fitted boot and about any plate will do as long as it is adjusted for you and mounted for u, i mostly mounted skates 1/4 off the center front stitch and that worked well for everybody i did it for. some people like loose trucks and i seem them so tight for freestyle skaters u couldnt move them with your hand lol. the action can be quick and cause mistakes as you say.

I mounted my plates 1\4" off both front and rear to take full advantage of the weight distribution. It worked for me and I got some interesting comments on them.
For a halloween party I had to put on someone else's white figure sk8s as part of my costume. Hard cushions that were SO TIGHT that the sk8 would only sk8 a FLAT ! Her theory was that reduced subcurves. Well, yeah. Flawed theory, IMO. My cushions were so loose that, if I could do them, I'd have been able to sk8 loops yet I was able to sk8 a pure edge with no subcurves on the big circles. Tho I never took a placement at nationals, every time I went, I made finals in the adult events.

[SNIP] made the inside edges easier.
Rick, YOU GET IT ! (But, then you've been around long enough to know many of the tricks and advantages) Where's most of the weight ?
This has worked for me for quite a few years. Watch (too) many of the sk8rs and you see they do good OF but sk8 flats (or, at least flatter) when they go onto the other foot.
[SNIP] a lot of figure skaters tighten their cushions and loosen them for loops
No reason to tighten them for long figs if you have an exercize program for figs. But most people are simply too lazy to do something like that. It isn't that hard. Nor time consuming.
I can't begin to count the number of people who commented on how loose (they'd see) my trucks were but they also marveled at how pure an edge I sk8d on them, doing esquire figures, back when the sk8rs were staged at the rail before being judged. They'd see me flexing my trucks as I waited to compete.
[SNIP] always fun to make finals even if u dont place. u get to skate again
That's why I never wanted to sk8 GOLDEN. You pay the same entry fee but you ONLY GET TO SK8 TWO dances - I want my money's worth !
(entry for GOLDEN should be 2\3 of the other entries; after all, we're on FIXED INCOMES !) And, now they won't let me sk8 against people young enough to be my sons. They told me I have to sk8 GOLDEN, now.
I say they have their heads up
in the "wrong place".

today and a number of years back skaters have had different skates for figures and loops and even dance. most of them had 2 to 3 pairs. my son had only freestyle and used them for everything but he only competed in singles. he hasnt skated since 2006. but he used the same plate and cushions and wheels with toe stops in to mess around with figures and dance.
many times he only skated once at a meet or twice when he moved up with short and long programs. i know what u mean by getting your moneys worth for the meet and the travel and cost involved. have fun

Hi Rick,
I only skated on one pair of skates for all my competitions. 220 boot and Super Deluxe plates and I had my trucks tight. I could move them with my hand but not easily. I never adjusted them between events or practice. Nice thing about it was that I always knew how much pressure to apply and how much to lean at all times. Worked well for me.

User reviews
I enjoy eating here due to the grilling experience. I went to BarBQ Plaza with my friends a couple of times in the past and the set lunch was affordable, around RM10 per person. I like the fact that the set included both meat and vegetables as usually any food that comes in set do not have vegetables.
Of course, rice, drinks and sauce were included in the set. The sauce mixed with cili padi and garlic complemented the taste of the meat very well. I felt full with the set lunch but I think it is not enough for the average guy.
One of the main reasons why I love dining at this place is because of the hot pot concept that they are using. Why? Because a lot of animes I watch, especially Gintama, had the same concept of putting raw food into hot pots and eating them afterwards.
I was here with my family in 2011 and I was pretty much stuck on the meat most of the time. I had a thing for red meat that made me temporarily carnivorous. Don't worry, I don't eat people. They did serve pork but I didn't mind, as long as I don't eat it. You might want to bring people with big appetites or come with at least 5 people though. Overall, a pleasant and unique experience.
Optional Information:
The concept of eating in this restaurant resembles that of a mess hall. Where people congregate on a table and share food and meat by sharing the same fire. It promtoes a sense of "community based" eating where youwon't be eating your own food alone but also sharing it with everyone else.
I star toff by selecting certain sets such as the vegetable set and the meat set so we have a good variety of meat and vege to choose from. NExt we would ask everyone on the table what meat or vege they would like to have first and put them into the scalding hot golden cooking pan. We would then talk as we wait for the food to cook and it's a very enjoyable dining experience. Take it as a "private buffet" between you and your friends only.
Especially great when you have more than 6 people on the table because it gets really noisy at that time with people all talking over each other. Very fun.
Optional Information:
The taste of the food is good but not for all outlets. I had been visiting different outlets such as Bukit Tinggi Jusco Klang, IOI Mall, Sunway Pyramid and Times Square. Sometimes I felt so disappointed because I wonder why there isn't good Quality Control among all the outlets to serve customers with highest quality of food. Especially the one in Times Square, the vegetable looks not fresh at all, some had turn into dark color. The meat also taste weird, hence, I think it is not fresh.
The outlet in Sunway pyramid and Bukit Tinggi Jusco taste great and it is fresh to consume. The portion is little bit too small and the price is quite high too. RM39++ for a supreme set (mixture of pork slice, prawn and chicken slices). But overall I will still visit BBQ plaza whenever I think of Grilled steamboat dish.
Optional Information:
I have only been to Bar.B.Q Plaza once, during a birthday celebration for my friend last year.
In this place, customers are able to experience self-grilling unlike Korean BBQ restaurants such as DaoRae where the servant will do the grilling part for you instead. This is one thing I like about Bar.B.Q Plaza.
Now, I would like to explain the reasons why I will never visit this restaurant again. Firstly, the price is actually quite expensive which can cost more than RM20 per pax, and the main point is I don't feel full after eating which I think it is not worth the price paid. Also, there is a big contrast between the portions of the meats and vegetables – too much of vegetables and too little of meats.
Optional Information:
Went to several branches because my friends like it- as there are no other retail BBQ restaurants I know of, (except for more expensive Korean BBQ), BarBQ plaza is often my choice when I crave for grilled meats.
One thing I disliked though, is the heavy pork smell in the air when you enter the premise, unavoidable, and you'll get used to it once you start eating, but still unpleasant all the same.
But their garlic fried rice is awesome, tastes great in my opinion, (Sakae Sushi's tastes better with a more expensive price tag because salmon's included) and I usually have two bowls in one sitting. Their fish and pork are decent but not bad.
Optional Information:
I love dining in this place, whenever the branch is, with my friends. I enjoy slowly cooking the meat and vege while chatting and catching up with each other. Usually my friends and I will order the economy pork set as I do not eat beef and upgrade the rice to garlic fried rice which tastes way better than normal white rice when eaten together with the meat and their special sauce. Although it is recommended to add all three ingredients (lime, garlic and chillies) into the brown color sauce, I always only add lime into it and it still tasted great.
Also I seriously love their enoki mushroom wrapped in bacon and soft shell crab with oats. They are quite expensive but really worth it. Now I am hungry just thinking about it .....
Optional Information:
This is a great place to have gathering especially if you are BBQ lover. You will have a grill set on top of the gas stove. There is groove at side of the grill set where they will fill up with cabbage soup, so you can boil your meat if you don't like to grill it. The set is great for meat lover and usually I will go for at least two sets, one is mix meat and another set of lard. They also are giving unlimited cabbage which is good when you have so many grill foods. Good ambience where you can talk to you family while preparing the food. One last thing, try out the garlic rice! You will not regret.
Optional Information:
A few months after the grand opening of BarBQ Plaza in Melaka, I decided to give it a try.
I ordered a set for 2 with lamb and pork. Sure, it was fun grilling the food but the disappointment starts when you start to eat. The meat was sliced too thin and if I was blindfolded I couldn't tell what I was eating
As a result, me and my friend mixed the meats up because it all tasted the same. The secret peanut sauce is nothing special.
I don't know whether I was supposed to laugh or be pissed off.

VIDEO: LeBron James' top 10 plays from the playoffs
MJ says he'd beat LeBron 1-on-1 | Exum injury doesn't destroy Jazz | Time to make room for women coaches in NBA
No. 1: MJ says he'd beat LeBron 1-on-1, all-time Bulls would top all-time Lakers — When Michael Jordan speaks, we all listen. And he said plenty over the weekend at his annual Flight School, answering plenty of pertinent questions for the campers in attendance, including how he'd handle LeBron James in a game of 1-on-1 in his prime and responded to Shaq's challenge in regards to how the all-time great Bulls teams would fare against an all-time great team of Los Angeles Lakers. He poked Kobe Bryant, too, and even discussed Kwame Brown. Patrick Dorsey of ESPN.com has the details:
What did I think about when Shaq said that the all-time five of the greatest Lakers could beat the Bulls' five greatest players?
"I just felt like he was just talking. It's a debate. The thing is that we would never know. I think we would have killed them. He thinks they would have killed us. You guys decide. It's just a debate."
Favorite player to play pick-up games with?
"My best pick-up game I've ever played was the games and the practices with the [1992] Dream Team. … My team was myself, Scottie Pippen, Patrick Ewing, Larry Bird and Chris Mullin. We played against Magic Johnson, Clyde Drexler, Charles Barkley, David Robinson — that's five, right? — and we killed 'em.
Note: That's not five; the other player team's fifth had to be either Karl Malone, John Stockton or Christian Laettner. There's also a chance Jordan is misremembering a bit, and he's talking aboutthis scrimmage covered in-depth by Sports Illustrated, which featured a Jordan-Malone-Ewing-Pippen-Bird five against Magic, Barkley, Robinson, Mullin and Laettner (although a 40-36 final score in favor of Jordan's team hardly constitutes a "killing.")
If I had the chance to go one-on-one with Steph Curry or LeBron, which one would I choose to go one-on-one with?
"Right now, or when I was in my prime? Right now? Buddy, I couldn't beat — well, I'd go against [Stephen] Curry because I'm a little bit bigger than him. So I could kind of back him in. But LeBron is a little bit too big."
[Note: Take that, 34 percent of America.]
If I had a chance to add another member to team Jordan, who would I hire?
"I'm a big fan of [Mike] Trout, the baseball player. I absolutely love him. I wish I could hire him. But he's Nike, so I can't steal Nike's guys."
This is the ESPN question. I know it's going to be all over ESPN. [Note: He was right.]If I was in my prime, could I beat LeBron in a one-on-one game?
[Long pause in which the campers mutter/shout their opinions.]
No question!
[Huge applause.]
What did I see in Kwame Brown when I drafted him [No. 1 overall for the Washington Wizards in 2001]?
"I, along with everybody that was in that draft room, wanted Kwame Brown because of his athleticism, his size, his speed. He was still a young talent, 18-year-old, 19-year-old kid."
If you went back and you couldn't play basketball or baseball, what sport would you play?
"Great question. I went to college, I got my degree in cultural geography, and everybody wanted to know what is cultural geography? Well it's an introduction to meteorology. I always wanted to be the weather man. Don't laugh. But that's what I really wanted to do. So if I wasn't playing basketball or baseball, I was going to tell you what the weather was going to be like tomorrow."
[Note: Don't think meteorology is a sport? Tell that to Jim Cantore!]
What kind of advice would I give Kobe Bryant?
[Uncomfortable laughter in the crowd.]
"Actually, Kobe and I are good friends. I like Kobe, we talk a lot, I hope he comes back healthy. I think he's one of the great players of the game, I think he's done a lot for the game, and he has a true love for the game of basketball. I absolutely have high regard for Kobe Bryant.
"Even though he stole all my moves, but that's OK. I still love him like a brother."

A world of words, roles, and differences: Classroom Language
After Christmas I was back at uni again, doing another Classroom Language course. This training provided an opportunity for some undergraduate English literature and language students to do some of our training. They enjoyed it and some of them will go onto build from this in their professional lives; which is ultimately the aim of doing these sessions. Yet, 'behind the scenes', in the wings, there were a few tensions and conflict (the good kind you can learn from).
The classroom language course is quite a challenge for trainers and trainees alike. The language and pedagogical content mean that is a tasty sandwich for all to get their teeth into. I co-trained on this most recent course with a more qualified and more experienced Palestinian ELT trainer at a University, Palestine. The University is a long-standing partner and the trainer had observed some of the previous course I had led. For the bosses it seems a logical way to make this kind of course more sustainable, and at the same time keep the novelty (am I a novelty, or an experienced ELT professional?) of having a member of staff from outside of the faculty involved in the training.
The trainer and I scheduled 2 pre-meetings, but feeling confident that our professional culture would bridge our other differences, and time poor, settled for just one meeting. In this meeting we framed the upcoming course as a learning experience for both of us. In retrospect, there were a number of basic things absent from this conversation.
Although, we had had lunch on the earlier course, we didn't know each other, we didn't know too much about each other's classroom experiences as teachers or trainers, our educational backgrounds in any real detail, we didn't understand each others' perceptions about teaching and learning: we didn't share expectations about what this course would be like. This left a lot unspoken and meant our professional culture would bridge a 30 year age difference, among others.
My co-trainer and I hadn't had enough time to build our professional discourse. What I mean by this is that terms like, for example, the communicative approach to teaching (or training), which we both used, were practiced in different ways. So, weirdly we spoke the same language, but the meanings of the words were different. These false friends then became more problematic as we were attempting to co-train, bringing life to these terms.
It's important that I say that I am no chauvinist, or TEFL fascist, I am not saying that my way of understanding, or doing say, participant centred training, is the 'right way'. In fact, I believe that there are many ways of skinning a cat when TEFL, and training, but I do try to, practice what I preach. These approaches to teaching suit me, and mesh well with my background and educational experiences (both as a teacher and student).
Feedback was another term that proved an issue. For me feedback is feedback, explicitly different from error correction, or appraisal. When I asked for feedback, I received (polite) glowing praise, great I thought… My personal feeling about this kind of feedback is that it has little value though, it's nice to hear, (how does it help me to grow)? My feedback for him, reflected my respect for him as a professional and was questioning and critical of his practice as I am engaged with my own teaching in just this way.
I explained that my exploratory questions were, I thought, in the spirit of our learning, of (our) professional growth. Yet, it became clear, I was off target, had overstepped a boundary, or said something unexpected to a teacher and trainer who had been working for decades (possibly without much observation or appraisal). We smoothed things over before leaving, but we were both a bit off key.
The following day I felt I should apologise for my unsupportive comments, I framed this as a realisation that I needed to be more focused and forward looking in my feedback (something that I strongly adhere to in my teaching) and I made a document to focus the observing trainer. Despite this, at the end of the second day, the time short feedback session was a bit jaded (to be expected I guess).
My co-trainer was interested in the success, or failure of his performance. I was, honestly, offended by the proposition that my role was to judge him. Support him, okay, explore our practice together, fine, but judging him seemed unprofessional to me. This clash in expectations again was based on a contrasting understanding for our motivation for being there. Perhaps he felt I was there to judge him, to report on him (which I am doing now, but writing this blog wasn't my intention then).
The key thing that I think I learnt from all this, was that giving time before training creates opportunities for relationships to seed. The professor and I have grown closer through this experience, and certainly know each other better, but having more time really would have helped. After sessions time is also an important factor allowing for trainers to de-pressurise before doing peer-feedback.
By smoothing out our expectations, and clarifying our roles, this could have been a smoother experience for us both. At the same time it is a case my co-trainer and I have eventually, been able to learn from this experience. It serves as an example of how you can learn through experiences and how a shared professional culture helped us bridge bigger differences, yet within this community of English Language Teachers (and Trainers) there is also a broad understanding of teaching and learning.

His blameless character had made a great impression on his age, and he was commemorated in many popular ballads.
He was, however, blameless in morals and reverent in religion.
His simple and blameless life, his conscientious discharge of duty, and his devotion to the needs of the poor had won for him such a name that, despite the opposition of France, he was chosen to succeed Clement X.

The great council consisted of 3200 citizens of blameless reputation and over twenty-five years of age, a third of the number sitting for six months in turn in the hall of the Cinquecento expressly built for the purpose.
Gregory was famed for his learning and eloquence, his blameless life, and his great strength of character.
Volumes and almost libraries have been written on the Calas affair, and we can but refer here to the only less famous cases of Sirven (very similar to that of Calas, though no judicial murder was actually committed), Espinasse (who had been sentenced to the galleys for harbouring a Protestant minister), Lally (the son of the unjustly treated but not blameless Irish-French commander in India), D'Etalonde (the companion of La Barre), Montbailli and others.
Of a cold and worldly temperament, devoid of passion, blameless in his conduct as the father of a family, faithful as the servant of his papal patrons, severe in the administration of the provinces committed to his charge, and indisputably able in his conduct of affairs, he was at the same time, and in spite of these qualities, a man whose moral nature inspires a sentiment of liveliest repugnance.
She said her only consolation was the fact that the princess allowed her to share her sorrow, that all the old misunderstandings should sink into nothing but this great grief; that she felt herself blameless in regard to everyone, and that he, from above, saw her affection and gratitude.
He is justly remembered as the most blameless of the popular heroes of the War of Independence.
He was an earnest, devout Christian, and a man of blameless life.

"The concept is that the EPower ™ instrument will be sold in conjunction with Kanthal Super heaters as a solution that has the potential to become the industry standard."
Bo Jonsson - Eurotherm Sales Manager
Intelligent Control.
An innovative partnership with world renowned Kanthal Heaters.
Kanthal have successfully tested a feature of the EPower™ controller in a novel way, alongside their world leading brand of Molybdenum Disilicide (MoSi2) heaters, known as Kanthal Super.
Kanthal is a world recognised brand in heating technology and is part of Sandvik Materials Technology, an international producer of advanced stainless steel, special alloys, and metallic and ceramic resistance materials. As such, Kanthal has access to world class resources including research and development and advanced processing technologies.
The Kanthal brand supports a global presence in segments wherever electricity is converted into heat, with a long history of developing and manufacturing electric resistance heating material and heating elements that provide the heat in a range of domestic appliances and industrial furnaces.
A key feature of MoSi2 heaters is the relationship between impedance and heater temperature. Our feature that has been successfully tested supplies information about heater impedance.
Record Impedance provides the temperature of the heater and if you know that then this can prevent overheating and ultimately extends the lifetime of the heater. Also, the
EPower unit is controlled by a 2704 over Master Comms. This enables the EPower Controller to supply all the raw data for calculations so adding even greater value to
our solution.
There are further benefits with EPower technology across many applications:
EPower reports energy consumption over time, or used energy for a batch and this is crucial for three reasons:
1. Process Analysis – Most processes can be trimmed to consume less energy. EPower controllers report actual number of kWh or mWh used or saved; vital for precise analysis.
2. Monitoring quality – Energy is a key parameter in heat treatment processes not only in terms of cost. Knowledge of energy consumed means knowing exactly what has gone into the charge. EPower controllers can ensure the heat treatment process is running at optimum performance at all times.
3. Peak power limiting strategies using the Predictive Load Management option in EPower controllers. PLM leads to energy savings and possible cost savings.
To ensure best performance the EPower unit will:
- Protect heaters from over temperature.Heaters are rated for max temperature typically 1700°C to 1850°C. Over temperature reduces heater lifetime. In extremes it can lead to immediate breakdown.
- Achieve maximum and consistent power.More power reduces process time and time reduction generally means cost saving. Heater temperature control enables the use of minimum margins for power demand while still preventing overheating. This keeps the process time and costs down.
Our longstanding trust and expertise with this company has unlocked this cutting edge testing and future innovation. The system has now been commissioned and was a great success. A fantastic partnership between two technologies that is unique in the marketplace.
This will add value across the heat treatment industry.
- EPower solution to become the global industry standard
- New technology will add value across the whole industry
- Unrivalled power factor improvements
- This is cutting edge technology and re use of engineering which has simply not been done before.
- EPower controller installed in conjunction with Kanthal Super heaters.
- EPower feature being tested supplies information about heater impedance
- EPower unit controlled by a 2704 over Master Comms
- First to have this innovative technology
- Prevention of future overheating on all heaters by using EPower
- This will extend life of the heater so adding further value
- All raw data available in one technology means greater cost saving and simplicity for them and a greater offering to their end customer
A fusion of 40 years of technological development
- Simple thyristor load control matures to sophisticated EPower™ energy controller
- Reduces end user cost of energy with zero quality penalty
- Multi EPower systems provide reductions in CO2 emissions
Award Winning — Engineers' Choice Award and award for Innovation from The Franco British Business Awards sponsored by Barclays bank, leading French business newspaper Les Echos, UK Trade & Investment and VisitLondon.
More Efficient Energy Production
The EPower controller's ability to continually and accurately predict, monitor and adjust to demand means specifically in this case absolutely accurate supply of information about heater impedance.
Knowing this means the prevention of future overheating on all heaters with this solution installed.
That is a major advantage and will not only mean greater performance and less downtime but is creating more efficient energy production and distribution.
This solution could reduce energy costs by improving overall process efficiency and we hope to achieve a fully endorsed solution as the global industry standard because of the enormous and unrivalled benefits.
- Prevention of future overheating on all heaters with this solution installed
- Extends the life of the heater so adding further value
- All raw data available in one technology means greater cost saving and simplicity for them and a greater offering to their end customer

Originally published April 8 2011, on a previous blog. This is a post which I am very proud, and would love nothing more than for you to find the inspiration to make whatever change you've found challenging. You can accomplish anything.
Of the weakest hours on the strongest days
I am proud of myself, where as before I was not.
Yesterday marked the 3rd anniversary of me being myself without cigarettes. To some that is nothing, but to me that date – April 7th – marks the very day I had enough courage to just.be.myself.
I come from a long line of addictive personalities. Trust me when I say that I did not get skipped. Gambling, smoking, and drinking addictions are all in my blood. I have faced problems with all of them.
Being uncomfortable, unsure, or unsatisfied with yourself is a big let down. Sometimes it is natural as we grow into our own, but it doesn't make it any easier, does it?
It is feeling weak within that can make peer pressure that much easier to fall into. It is your need for acceptance that makes it okay. Getting it's 'release' makes a potential addiction your goto gal. And so it begins.
Unfortunately for us addictive personalities, quitting sure ain't easy peazy. Turns out it takes more will power to stop than it would have taken to not start in the first place.
Regardless of what brought you to start, look within yourself, to your younger self – and find that child who wished to grow up to be more. Don't be another person who lets yourself down.
Be the one to count on, to look up to. Let your life run it's course naturally, as God intended.
From the age of 15 to 25 I was a smoker, who lit up more than most. Present day, 2014, while approaching my 32nd birthday, I stand behind these words more than ever. You can do and become anything you desire, it's always a possibility, that depends on the actions you are willing to take. Go ahead. Move forward with your dreams today.
With an open heart,

straight ally: n. a heterosexual person who supports the civil rights, gender equality, and social movements of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) identified people.
Straight But Not Narrow is a campaign aimed at empowering straight allies (particularly straight guys) to be stronger advocates for their friends, family, and community members who are LGBTQ. So it's kinda like It Gets Better for awesome affirming straight folks.
Josh Hutcherson AKA Peeta Mellark of Hunger Games fame recently recorded his Straight But Not Narrow video.
After checking out SBNN on Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook it's time to take action.
-Be a straight ally by improving your attitude and actions towards the LGBT people in your life! PLFAG has a handy guide that might answer any questions you might have about being a straight ally.
-At CLP Main – Teen there is now a Gay Straight Alliance that meets bi-monthly. The next meeting is Wednesday, June 6th from 5:00-6:00 PM. There might be one at your school too. If not… START ONE!
-Check out Pittsburgh Pride – June 1st to 10th! The Pride March is Sunday, June 10th at Noon and is immediately followed by the completely free Pridefest on Liberty Ave in Downtown Pittsburgh. My favorite thing about Pridefest are the short films at the Harris Theatre!
-Lastly, don't overthink it. Being an ally can be as simple as watching your language. Like Wanda Sykes says, "Think Before You Speak."
-Michael (CLP Hazelwood)

Not Both
Text: Andrea Zanin, Montreal
Is it just me, or does war just plain not make any sense?
I'm not very aware when it comes to current political realities in countries all over the world – I know about conflicts that are happening in various places, but I'm not always sure as to the why and the how of them. And I was never a history buff, so the intricacies of the Battle of This or That in 1812 have disappeared from my mind as quickly as I handed the test back to the teacher in grade nine. I wanted to know how the people lived, not how they died.
My guess is that a lot of people are in the same boat as me. It's nice and safe here in Canada, armed conflict is at a comfortable distance, and we'd rather watch the Simpsons than CNN anyway.
But I am armed with common sense.
I remember a For Better or for Worse cartoon that reflected an experience I'm sure many of us have had. Little Mikey bops his sister on the head for some random childish reason, and so Dad turns Mikey over his knee and spanks him soundly, while yelling "Do not hit your sister!" Hmm… can we draw any parallels with current world events?…
Let's see… from what I do know, we have the US government, personified by George Dubya, doing everything it can to stop women from having abortions (especially those in other countries), but feels that it's just fine to have and make use of one of the biggest and most expensive military forces in the world. Most 'specially, to blow up the friends and families of those who blew up the WTC – an eye for an eye being, of course, the most effective approach to settling conflict and making sure there are no future September 11ths. That's right – the USA says it's definitely not cool to stop an unwanted pregnancy. It's really best to wait until you're born and all grown up, then it's all right for someone to kill you.
Pablo Picasso : le visage de la guerre
And here we have people in Ireland who have been fighting for generations based on religious differences – but isn't one of Christianity's Ten Commandments "thou shalt not kill"? There's a tenet along the same vein in most world religions, major or otherwise – and last time I checked, rabid Satanists weren't running most wars. Yet throughout history, religion has been one of the most common "reasons" for having a war. An oxymoron, no?
We can't talk about war without mentioning the Holocaust – the kind of thing that in real life was so nightmarish (and controversial) that on the one hand, some say it never happened, and on the other, Hollywood directors make blockbuster movies about it.
Of course, since the information our media presents to us is filtered through any number of individual opinions before it makes it to our TV screens and newspapers, similar horrific occurrences (though perhaps on different scales) have apparently happened in our world even in as recently as the past decade and we just have no clue. (Noam Chomsky has a lot to say about that, if you're interested.)
On the home front, last year in Quebec City and elsewhere, we had the RCMP arresting activists before they protested (didn't you know, activists forfeit their rights?), and cops shooting tear gas as "crowd control" from behind tall fences at fifty or sixty scattered protestors, when the real crowd (of many thousands) was busy marching peacefully with banners and street theatre performances blocks away… at least here I can speak from first-hand experience, and let me tell you, that was overkill at its worst. It's about the closest I've come to anything resembling war, but even just tear gas was enough to strengthen my belief that there's something seriously wrong with this kind of approach.
When we see it in the news, it's all about "other people" in other places. We were hit a little closer to home on September 11th, but even then, there are no soldiers marching in the streets in Canada, no gunshots keeping us awake at night.
The thing about war is that people die. There isn't much in life that is so final, so utterly black-and-white, than death. We could argue about what happens after death, but that's not very reassuring for someone who's got a gun to their head.
If what makes us human, or civilized, is our ability to reason, to think, then what is to be said of reasoning that ends in someone's death? And when that "someone" becomes hundreds and thousands of someones, what then?

How can it ever make sense for us, as a species, to deliberately exterminate one another? With all the intelligence and education in the world, how is it that people still see fit to solve problems in the most brutal way available to humankind? Is this a question of that mysterious catch-all, "human nature"? Or is that the easy way out of the question, instead of looking at ourselves and deciding to find a better way?
To quote Ursula K. LeGuin, a science fiction novelist and writer from the US: "If civilization has an opposite, it is war. Of those two things, you have either one, or the other. Not both."
I don't presume to understand the complexity of every situation in the world where war has become part of the problem. But I can't help believing that killing people is not the way to find a solution.

Have you ever thought about what college really is? There are many different environments on the college campus that can affect your university. It is important to know how your student population feels about their campus. The students have the most important needs while at the university. The structure of your buildings and the layout of campus can affect your environment as well. You want to have buildings that are structured to meet everyone's needs. Your academics are a big part of your environment as well. With your university you want your students to go classes that will help them succeed. As I am in my first year of grad school we are learning how your environment can affect your university.
As my cohort has been viewing other college environments, we have been trying to see how the student population fits into the campus. It is good to see the student's perspective of the university. The students are the one that the policies are directly affecting, so it is important to know how they feel about them. With viewing the university, we also try and see how much pride the student body has. While going to college you want each and every student to be proud of where they go to school. As the university is trying new and different things it is important for the college environment that they are having the backing of their students.
With the environment of your university the structure and layout will make a big difference. Having a good structure and a beautiful campus is able to bring in more students and will let you have better retention. You want to have a place where students feel like they can learn effectively. If a building looks nicer and is better maintained students will want to come to class. If your campus is the opposite and buildings are dirty and look like they are about to fall apart students are less likely to want to learn. You want to create an atmosphere where students are learning freely. So when you can create a space where learning is encouraged and tools are provided your environment will look better. Within your campus it is important to create an environment where students feel that they can freely express themselves and be accepted.
When you are creating a good environment for your students, you want to make sure that they have academic opportunities as well. It is important to make sure that students are getting the information that will best help them in classes. As students may not always do well in a class, it is good that they know where to go for help. When students are taking a class you want to make sure they are being challenged in what they know and succeeding in their rigorous course work. Having different majors and minors within your university you want to make sure they are staying up to date and providing students with the best education. As students feel that they are getting the best education possible they are more likely to come back to their college environment.
When thinking of your college, it is important to know how your environment is perceived. You want to create an environment where students are happy to learn and feel like they matter. Your college environment is a big predictor of how well you are going to do with retaining students.

Eggplant Fries:
1 eggplant, peeled and cut into matchsticks
1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 cup cornmeal
3/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 large eggs, beaten
Quick Tomato Sauce:
1/4 yellow onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves
1 (14-ounce) can of diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
To bake the fries:
1. Lay eggplant matchsticks, in a single layer, on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and let stand for 25 minutes. At the 25-minute mark, pat dry with paper towels.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, cornmeal, breadcrumbs, crushed red pepper, garlic powder and oregano. Crack two eggs in a small bowl and beat.
3. One by one, dip the eggplant sticks in the beaten eggs, and transfer to the bread crumb mixture, being sure to coat the eggplant thoroughly. Place the bread crumb covered eggplant on a baking sheet and bake for 20-23 minutes, flipping them at the 15 minute mark.
To fry:
1. In a cast iron skillet, add enough vegetable oil so it reaches about 3 inches up the sides. Heat oil to 350 degrees F. Gently transfer bread crumb coated eggplant to the hot oil and fry on each side for about a minute, or until golden brown. Using tongs, take them out of the oil and place on a bed of paper towels to drain.
For tomato sauce:
1. To make the tomato sauce, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a skillet. Throw in diced onion, and cook until translucent, about 7 minutes. Place garlic atop onions and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the can of diced tomato and stir. Add the crushed red pepper and oregano. Next, salt to taste. Bring tomato mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, until mixture is reduced. Carefully add to a blender and blend until sorta smooth, about 30 seconds. Serve with eggplant fries.
