In this second part we will discuss the mystery of how Jesus is God and man at the same time. In theological language hallowed by the Council of Chalcedon in 451, theologians express this truth in the familiar phrases of the union of two natures (of God and man) in one person (the Son, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity).
We all have a general idea of union, and we have some idea from our own self-awareness of what a person is. But this is only partially helpful here because in Christ it is a unique kind of union, and the modern meaning of person and personality is not what the Council of Chalcedon meant by the same words.
There are some theologians who complain about this theological process. Since many of the words used are Greek and the early doctrinal formulations were composed principally by those who used Greek, this process of seeking understanding has been pejoratively called Hellenization. The truth of the Gospels, some assert, has been forced into a Greek mold. However, they mistake what has happened.
Man ever seeks a reason. Even in matters of revelation such as we are dealing with here, he seeks to know the what or why in its ultimate sense. To do this he must use human language and human reasoning. What is Christ in His ultimate being? How is the clear teaching of the Gospels that He is God and man to be explained?
Through much confrontation with error, the Church gradually refined her way of explaining this, and by the light of the Holy Spirit defined these truths as clearly as was possible — but in human terms which still do not dissolve the mystery.
The problem today is to explain these same truths in language better fitted to a modern world where philosophy has gone in an opposite direction from faith and has evolved different thought patterns and language. To speak to this new world, as well as to those of the faith, is a part of our undertaking here. To accomplish this we will begin by examining the meaning of nature and will put in names only at the proper points.
Any observation of nature shows us that it is composed of innumerable varieties of natures: inanimate, such as atoms and their compounds, and animate or living. Among the living forms of nature we easily see that a tree is not a dog, and if we have any close experience with an intelligent dog we observe that he is not a human even in other ways besides his appearance. If we think about this almost infinite multitude of beings, we will note that the various natures occur only as individuals, even though sometimes never seen, as individual atoms of gold are not seen in a coin.
We never observe a nature as a general abstraction; it is always this individual man or this blade of grass — and yet each has a nature common to all its like. The very nature itself is an abstraction which our minds make either automatically and unconsciously or after much investigation. Only in our mind does a nature exist alone, that is, without individuation or distinguishing appearances or traits.
There is another way that a nature exists alone and that is in the mind of the Creator — leaving out of our consideration how the various species came about. In God's mind there somehow exists (in our necessarily poor way of explaining it) an idea of man: human nature. This nature somehow reflects God's own being in various ways, as better and higher than all the rest of earthly creation. In God's mind, however, it is a general concept without individual traits or identity. But there is more.
Besides this, God has always had the knowledge of each one of us individually, as for instance, Mary the mother of Jesus. This individuality adds a new actuality to the nature, that is, it is a step toward the final being. Mary is distinct from every other individual — just as each one of us is distinct, just as every atom of oxygen is distinct from every other atom. However, something more has been added to the nature of humans, even in the mind of God. This added perfection of individuality is called the hypostasis in the Greek, a term we will have to use with Christ. In the case of an intellectual being such as man, the being having this perfection of individuality is called the person, a term we shall now use also.
There are certain properties of the person which a bare nature does not have, such as the differences of face, hair, bone structure, etc. Although these are integral parts of a nature, the different individual characteristics (red or black hair) are mere consequences and variations of individuality. In human beings the various characteristics are secondary to what we mean by a person; if a woman dyes her hair, she is still the same person. Another property of the person, as distinguished from non-human earthly beings, is that it is a free being, made to exist in its own right, and capable of its own responsible actions.
One essential perfection is missing from each person as it exists in the mind of God and that is the final actuality which is existence. Even though God had an idea of Mary (and thus she may be said to have had a quasi-existence in the mind of God) she did not actually exist until the complimentary rudimentary parts of her physical being (her genes), produced by her father and mother, were biologically joined in the body of her mother and her immortal soul was then created and infused by God.
By understanding that Mary was only an idea in God's mind before her conception, we can see that existence is something distinct from what it means to be a person. For her person was completely contemplated in God's mind with all its individual characteristics, but it had to be brought into actual existence by another act on God's part. After that she is an actual person with a human nature, having an actual human existence. An actual person always requires an actual existence, and there is no human actual existence without an actual person.
If being a person as such were existence and nothing more, then the two natures of Christ would be joined only by the one existence of the Son of God. The result would be something like a centaur (the head, arms, and upper torso of a man with the body of a horse). There would be no basic unity, much like the two persons and two natures of Christ taught by the heretic, Nestorius.
The divine will, for instance, would have had to dominate the human will by its supreme power and make it of little consequence, just as the sun does with the stars during the day. Even on the supposition that this human nature would have the beatific vision and would reach out to the divine will with love and reverence, there would still be only a loose external union and not the personal identification of the Word made flesh.
There remains for us now to put all this together to explain the unity of the two natures of God and man in Jesus. As we will show, and as we have partially shown already, the Gospels give us clear evidence that He had both. Like our example above, His human nature was seen with all its human characteristics by the mind of God. But the mystery of the Incarnation, which we accept by faith in God's revelation, demands that this particular human nature not be a human person. Though fully human in His nature, Jesus was never to be a man in the same way as we are, that is as a human person.
Simultaneous with the operation of the Holy Spirit in Mary's body to miraculously change an ovum into a human male, the Son of God assumed this new human nature unto himself, uniting it to His own personhood which is that of the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. In His nature, Jesus is like us but because of this union in the person of the Son, He is not a human person even though He has all the powers capable of human operation as we have. The "I" of Jesus' own words is used at different times to show that He is God and that He is man.
Simultaneous also with this human nature being assumed by the Second Person, Jesus' human nature came into actual existence. But despite the fact that He will truly live and act as a human, He will not have a human existence, but rather the existence of the Son of God. Thus if (per impossibile) the Person (and existence) of the Word should separate from the human nature of Christ, the Creator would have to supply a new human personality and existence for this nature or it would disintegrate: the soul dropping back into nothingness and all the parts of the body reasserting their previous independent existence and eventually becoming chemical elements and compounds (See Summa Theologiae III, 16, 12 and 2 & 3).
This personhood of God requires in this union that the human nature of Jesus exist as God. For since His human nature cannot exist without being a person, His existence must be the divine person who assumed this nature. It is therefore correct to say, "this man (indicating Christ) is God — First Cause, Infinite Love, Wisdom and Goodness — because of the union in the divine person."
And so this human nature, with its beating heart and all the other functions of mind and body, has a divine existence. Therefore He is not two persons, divine and human, as Nestorius taught. In this error the divine would operate in or through a human person so that we could not say, for instance, that God suffered for us on the cross. Nor do we have an overpowering or blurring of the human nature by the divine nature. Both are integrally distinct, so much so that Jesus seemed outwardly to be only a man, as the Gospels faithfully record. Because this union is not a union of the two natures directly (that is the nature of God becoming the nature of man or vice versa) but in the person or hypostasis, it is called the Hypostatic Union.
Some of these names are outside common usage. But the use of "person" here is not too removed from what it generally means. To see this more closely we can briefly discuss one of the consequences of this one person with two natures. The greatest consequence for us is that all the actions of Jesus' human nature are actions of the divine person, that is, they are actions of God. The actions of any living being are actions of the person. If the tongue has uttered slander, we do not blame the physical organ; we blame the person. If a pickpocket has stolen a wallet and, subsequently, in an accident has lost the hand that did it, we would not let the man free. The person is responsible for the theft. Thus the actions of the human nature of Christ belong to His person which is that of the Son of God.
Thus the words spoken by Jesus are the words of God. This is also the reason that He merited infinitely, especially by His death, so as to offer infinite atonement to the Father for our sins. His human nature, including His human will, had the person of the Eternal Son as the responsible source of His actions. Actions belong to the person.
Although this sounds somewhat artificial and complicated, the two natures of Christ operated harmoniously, even as our two components of spirit and flesh ordinarily do. For instance our sense memory, imagination, and our spiritual intellect can combine their powers to compose a speech. While we are doing this, we do not stop to ask which of our faculties are being used at the moment. Nor do we make conscious commands for one to operate and the others to pause. Similarly Jesus thought, felt and spoke easily and freely, using whatever mixture of divine and human that was most appropriate at the moment. It only seems artificial to us when we analyze it, just as our own way of mentally operating becomes complicated and artificial only upon analysis.
The human will of Christ would be under the direct and constant influence of the divine will through the union in the person of the divine Son. In all creation (and we must remember that in his human nature Christ is a creature), but especially in man, there is what is called an obediential potentiality by which we have an aptitude to be led or influenced by God. God has used this in our nature to raise us to adoptive sonship by grace. By this same obediential potentiality to the will of God in the human nature of Christ, His human will gave itself freely to the action of the divine will which as Son of God He shares with the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Thus the seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit are operating in an eminent degree in His human mind and will. These Gifts are a transient influence or movement by God to enable us to act, not in the human mode but in the divine mode. For instance a man may think long and deeply over a problem and come to a wise decision (the human mode of action), or he may be moved by the Spirit to act in a definite manner. This is called the divine mode of acting, not because it eliminates all thought but because the deep intuitive assurance that comes with it shows that this action is indeed the will of God. Jesus could and did certainly think things out in the human manner (Jn 7:2ff.), but the motion of the Spirit was always prompt whenever He needed it, and it was stronger in Him with the very strength that came through the union of His human nature with the divine. He would always do the Father's will freely and out of love. (Part Three next month.)

The Right to Know (Hazard Communication) Policy
Purpose and Application
This policy document is written to ensure that employees and students are alerted and properly trained in the safe use of hazardous substances with which they may come in contact. We will accomplish this by compiling lists of hazardous substance, harmful physical agents and infectious agents, maintaining and using Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), ensuring proper container labeling, and by providing employee training.
This policy document applies to all College of Saint Benedict and Order of Saint Benedict (CSB|OSB employees and students who may work with hazardous substances.
Definitions and Scope
"Hazardous Substances" include a wide range of chemicals such as cleaning products, pesticides, and even toner for copiers, as well as many compounds used in instructional and research laboratories. Hazardous waste (medical, biological, radioactive, and other).
"Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs)" provide safety information about specific hazardous substances including the hazards and control measures.
Employees and students have a "right to know" about the hazardous substances they work with and how to handle them safely. All employees are responsible for following safety instructions on labels and MSDSs and complying with safety procedures.
Roles and Responsibilities
The Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) is responsible for:
- Assisting departments with general Right-To-Know information and training guidelines and
- Maintaining an up-to-date written Right-To-Know (hazard communication) program.
Each department is responsible for maintaining up-to-date inventories of hazardous substances and making MSDSs readily available. Each department purchasing or using hazardous chemicals is to assign a person responsible to coordinate the purchasing, inventory, dispensing, and forwarding of MSDSs as appropriate.
Copies of the MSDSs for all new procurements must be sent to the EHS. Departments shipping hazardous materials are to make sure that all containers shipped from CSB|OSB facilities are properly labeled and that the transporter is authorized and aware of the nature of shipment.
Supervisors are responsible for providing job-specific training to all their employees, including a discussion of how to safely handle hazardous substances in their work area. Supervisors are responsible for identifying any new hazardous substance before it is introduced into the workplace and informing employees in the work area about the dangers of such hazardous substances. EHS will assist supervisors in the identification and information.
All new employees who may work with hazardous substances will at minimum receive Right-To-Know training during new employee orientation. Individual departments will provide job-specific training on the safe use of hazardous substances in their work area. Additional training is provided whenever a new hazard is introduced into a work area. The training method must provide an opportunity for the employee to ask questions. The individual department may hold safety meetings to review the initial and/or additional training materials
Written Plan
Copies of the comprehensive written Right-To-Know (Hazard Communication) is primarily available on the EHS website. The plan may be obtained from EHS office.
Warning Labels
Hazardous substances must be labeled with the main hazard name, the hazard warning and measures to protect the user against exposure risks. All employees and students are expected to read labels and follow instructions and warnings. Detailed labeling requirements are specified in the Right-To-Know Plan.
Material Safety Data Sheets
The purpose of the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) is to describe the physical and chemical properties of hazardous substances as well as their health hazards, routes of exposure, precautions for safe handling and use, emergency and first aid procedures, and control measures. MSDSs must be available in the immediate work area. EHS will provide assistance in obtaining MSDSs.
Record Keeping
The Environmental Health and Safety will maintain copies of records of all employees who are provided with the Right-To-Know training. Each department must maintain a record of individual department training and forward a copy to EHS.
Hazardous Chemicals Lists
Each department is responsible for maintaining an up-to-date list of hazardous substances present. This list should be readily available to EHS.
The CSB|OSB will inform all contractors of known hazards contract employees may encounter while performing work at our facilities. Contractors similarly must disclose anticipated hazardous operations and observe our safety procedures. The College/Corporate project manager may contact EHS to develop job-specific safety information as appropriate.
Key References and Resources
The documents listed below may be obtained from the Environmental Health and Safety Office.

Why you can't bank on living longer if you're overweight
I've watched my weight creep up with growing angst as I near the threshold for becoming overweight, so I was tempted to rejoice after reading the new study finding that moderately overweight folks live the longest. "Yay. I'm not that fat after all,'' wrote one of my Facebook friends in her status update — as if describing my thoughts exactly.
But there's a potential danger in allowing the latest research to free us from the scale and abolish our "absurb fear of fat,'' as a New York Times op-ed writer declared, adding that "our current definition of 'normal weight' makes absolutely no sense.''
Since the writer, Paul Campos, is a law professor, I figured it was probably wise to read through the details of the study, which was published on Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association, and consult researchers in the obesity field to get their take on the new finding.
First off, the study — which analyzed mortality data from nearly 3 million participants who took part in previous obesity studies in the U.S. and other countries — didn't find a huge difference in death rates among those who were normal weight, overweight, or even obese.
People who were overweight or mildly obese — weighing between 146 and 203 pounds for a 5'4'' person — had a 5 to 6 percent lower risk of dying compared to those who were at a healthy weight, between 108 and 145 pounds. Those who were extremely obese had nearly a 30 percent greater risk of dying over the duration of the studies, which varied in length from five years to a few decades.
"What we found suggests that over a broad range of body mass index levels, there's not much variation in mortality,'' said study author Katherine Flegal, a senior scientist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "How much body weight affects health is a different issue, and we would tell individuals to consult their doctors about their own individual risks.''
For example, it's pretty well accepted among public health experts that our nation's increasing girth has contributed dramatically to a near tripling in US diabetes rates over the past 30 years — from 2.5 percent to nearly 7 percent of the population.
"It's important for doctors to keep doing what they're doing as far as using body mass index as an indicator for health along with blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar measurements,'' Harvard Medical School nutrition professor Dr. George Blackburn said. He added that the new study had flaws in its methodology.
For example, older folks in the lower end of the healthy weight spectrum may have been more likely to have been former smokers with health problems that kept them slim. While the new research took into account current smokers, who tend to be thinner, it didn't distinguish between those who never smoked and those who quit.
A 2010 National Cancer Institute study published in the New England Journal of Medicine performed a similar analysis of death rates among nearly 1.5 million people who participated in multiple studies — but only analyzed deaths in healthy participants who never smoked. Those researchers found a clear relationship between increasing body mass index and death rates with a 13 percent greater death risk in moderately overweight individuals, which rose to a nearly 90 percent greater risk in those who were obese.
One of the study co-authors, Dr. Walter Willet, chair of the nutrition department at the Harvard School of Public Health, called the latest finding a "pile of rubbish'' and said it was "absurd'' to think that gaining 60 to 90 pounds wouldn't have an impact on shortening our lifespan.
But other obesity researchers supported the latest findings. In an editorial that accompanied the study, researchers from the Pennington Biomedical Research Center pointed out that body mass index is an imperfect predictor of disease risk and must be considered in the context of other factors like a waist measurement — which indicates whether there's an excess of unhealthy abdominal fat — physical fitness, and heart disease risk factors like high blood pressure.
Determining how much weight gain over time is too much probably depends on a person's genes, diet, and level of exercise along with other lifestyle factors. But the evidence is clear from the vast body of research that getting to the extreme end of obesity will likely result in poor health and an earlier death. The challenge, as Willet pointed out, is to keep ourselves from reaching that point, which means taking action as the scale starts to creep upwards.
"If you put on 5 or 6 pounds, that's the time when you need to build in a little more activity and be a little more careful about what you eat,'' he said.

Lady Vols' Andraya Carter Undergoes Shoulder Surgery
Knoxville, Tenn. – Tennessee Lady Vol freshman basketball player Andraya (on-DRAY-uh) Carter underwent arthroscopic surgery Thursday morning to repair a labral tear in her right shoulder, according to UT associate director of sports medicine Jenny Moshak.
Doctors Greg Mathien and Russell Betcher performed the procedure to address instability in Carter's shoulder. The 5-foot-9 guard suffered an injury to that shoulder last year in high school and reinjured it this season at UT.
Carter's recovery is expected to take four to six months. Tennessee will apply for a hardship waiver after the season for Carter. She is expected to meet the requirements (playing in less than 30 percent of the team's scheduled contests in the first half of the season) and would still have four years of eligibility remaining if the waiver is granted.
The rookie from Flowery Branch, Ga., played in all seven of Tennessee's games thus far in 2012-13, starting the first five. She was averaging 5.3 points, 1.9 assists, 1.6 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 20.6 minutes per contest for the No. 13/12 Lady Vols.
Tennessee will travel to the Lone Star State on Saturday, where it will play at #18/20 Texas on Sunday at 2 p.m. Eastern (1 p.m. CT) and at #3/3 Baylor on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET (7 p.m. CT). Carter is not expected to make the trip.

Don't be surprised if the detailed, painstaking study reveals nothing.
Don't be shocked if Tom Coughlin's conversations with his players produce words but not answers, not even theories, certainly not any evidence to explain why.
Why a time-tested team with a Super Bowl pedigree, veteran leadership, relative health, firm coaching and a clear understanding of the opportunity at hand arrived for games in Atlanta and Baltimore but failed to show up. If the Giants, coming off a pinball wizard 52-27 rout of the Saints, armed with an 8-5 record and their playoff destiny in their hands, had left the Georgia Dome on the wrong end of a 23-17 loss to the Falcons it would have been damaging, but would have not prompted the "soul searching'' Coughlin said was needed.
If the following week, still in complete control of their postseason fate, the Giants battled long and hard with the Ravens, dropped a ball or missed a tackle late and lost 17-14 it would have severely, critically wounded any notion of a title defense. It would have signaled the 2012 Giants were not quite good enough. But it would not have triggered such disbelief.
Losing 34-0 and 33-14 in back-to-back weeks, Coughlin said, will "probably drive me insane'' because it represents a tear in the fabric of what he has crafted over these nine years.
Sure, the most agonizing losses for the Giants were 19-17 in Philadelphia and 17-16 in Washington, but there are easily-recognizable reasons why they came up short — tangible football failings. At another time, in another season, co-owner John Mara would have viewed the December double-dose tank job that got his team beat by a combined 67-14 and concluded that big changes were needed.
That's what he surmised as recently as 2009, when two losses by a combined 85-16 score to end an 8-8 season sparked a furious Mara to state "The status quo … is not acceptable,'' warning the break-even record "felt a lot more like 2-14 to me'' and even, in a sense, putting Coughlin and general manager Jerry Reese on notice, revealing "I'm not happy right now, and THEY know that.'' And this was after the coach and GM produced a remarkable Super Bowl victory only two seasons earlier.
In time, Mara will probably come to judge the embarrassing losses to the Falcons and Ravens as blips on the screen that cannot be identified.
"I don't think there's an answer right there,'' Eli Manning said. "I think it's just a matter of we didn't have our A-game. In those crucial situations, you've got to have it. You've got to be at your best, and you've got to want it, and we didn't have it.''
Manning and others who have proven themselves in the most pressure-filled situations came up small and empty. The demise represents a collective malaise that fell over the team, perhaps brought on by the onset of human nature. They had pulled themselves out of the fire before and figured they would avoid getting burned again. The hunger to prove everyone wrong never gnawed at their stomachs. The Giants weren't self-satisfied, but they weren't on edge, either.
As sure as Justin Tuck said, "Every time we don't win the Super Bowl is a disappointing year'' he got to the heart of the matter. "How would you want it?'' he asked. "We could be in the playoffs every year and not win the Super Bowl. I think I'll take two Super Bowls in five years over five playoff berths and no Super Bowls. I talked to people who've been to the playoffs and never won Super Bowls and they said they'd trade with me any day.''
It is now three times in four years on the outside looking into the playoffs for the Giants, but that one prized admission replaces a multitude of sins. Both Coughlin and Reese talked how winning 12 or 13 games a year would be great, but not very realistic, given the NFC East landscape. Instead of parades, ring ceremonies and a White House visit, the Giants this offseason will feel the pang of remorse, which is the time-tested antidote for the post-Super Bowl symptoms they displayed.
This roster needs to be tweaked, a few stalwarts eased out. The emphasis must be on defense (an impact linebacker, please), offensive line and another pass-rusher. The Super Bowl following the 2013 season will be played in the Giants' home stadium and there's no reason to believe at this time next year they won't be giving chase.

When working on projects, we often say, "Chaos will ensue" and we're happy when it does because it means we're making progress. It's also often said that "Inventions should cause disruption." Sometimes that disruption is good and sometimes it's bad. The kind of chaos and disruption Invisible Children's #Kony2012 campaign has caused is good. No matter what side of the debate you're on, you can't argue against awareness about child soldiers and child sex slaves. If we don't know, we can't do anything. But there's more to it than that, isn't there? The concern is, "Should I donate?"

A biceps tear – also called a biceps rupture – is a tear or break in the tendon that connects your biceps muscle in the upper arm to your shoulder or elbow.
Tendons are strong cords of tissue that connect muscles and bones. Over time, the much-used connections in the shoulder and elbow can begin to wear and eventually break.
Biceps ruptures are a common injury that we repair successfully with surgery. If you have a less serious biceps tear, you may only need nonsurgical treatments like ice, physical therapy or medication.
When your shoulder, arm or elbow hurts, you want to relieve the pain and get back to your usual activities as soon as possible. We have extensive experience in treating and repairing biceps injury, whether the cause is sports, an accident or regular wear and tear.
We offer:Injury evaluation when you need it: Convenient locations: Coordinated care:
A biceps tear or biceps rupture can happen suddenly or gradually. Biceps tears are most common among people between the ages of 40 and 60.
A biceps rupture is a complete tear of the tendon. In a biceps rupture, the biceps tendon breaks off from where it attaches the muscle to the top of the shoulder. A biceps rupture can happen because of an accident, like a sudden fall, or an activity, like lifting a weight.
A person who has another condition like a rotator cuff injury or shoulder impingement (when arm motion squeezes the shoulder tissue) is more likely to experience a biceps rupture.
Sometimes, another condition like a rotator cuff injury or tendonitis causes shoulder pain.Learn more about

With a biceps rupture, most people report feeling or hearing a "pop" at the shoulder or elbow when the tendon breaks.
People also notice:
During a physical exam, your doctor will check for pain, bruising and changes to your strength and range of motion.
If we suspect a biceps rupture, you may have additional tests including:X-ray: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI):

Your treatment for a biceps tear will depend on the type of injury and your lifestyle. Nonsurgical treatments work best for smaller tears or people who won't be bothered by having less arm strength. In other cases, surgery might be the right path.

As soon as the query contains at least minWordSizefor2Typos characters, the engine will allow up to two typos in matches.minWordSizefor2Typos
typoTolerance (default: true)
This setting can have 4 different values:
true : activate typo-tolerance
false : disable typo-tolerancefalse
min : keep only results with the lowest number of typos. For example, if the smallest number of typos found is 0, then no results with typos at all will be returned. If the smallest number of typos found is 2, then no results with more than 2 typos will be returned.
strict : same as min, but + 1, meaning, keep the 2 smallest number of typos.strict
Typos are counted per-word . In the case of multi-word queries, it's possible for each query word to have up to 2 typos, according to minWordSizefor1Typo and minWordSizefor2Typo .per-word minWordSizefor2Typo
When typoTolerance is set to strict, we force the Typo criterion to be first in the ranking formula.typoTolerance
When using a sort-by attribute, we recommend setting typo-tolerance to min to reduce the number of potentially irrelevant search results.sort-by
By default, Algolia does not consider singulars and plurals as matches. You can override this default behaviour by setting

Class of 2015
|Accomplishment Summary
|Terese Allen
|Playing for Georgia State from 1977-81, Allen has her No. 34 jersey hanging from the rafters of the Sports Arena after a career that saw her earn All-America honorable mention recognition and finish with a school record of 2,074 points. Allen was a pioneer of the program which did not start until the 1975-76 season. She also holds the school records for most points per game in a career (19.4) and points in a season (771). Allen played a key role on the 1980-81 squad that went 28-5 and advanced to national postseason play.
|Charles "Lefty" Driesell
|A NABC Hall of Famer, Driesell is one of the most successful coaches of all time. After successful coaching stops at Davidson, Maryland and James Madison, Driesell took the Georgia State program to levels it had never seen before starting in 1997. In just over five seasons, Driesell won 103 games, including a school-record 29-5 in the 2000-01 season that saw the Panthers shock No. 6-seed Wisconsin in the NCAA tournament. He won three-straight conference regular season titles (2000-02) and took the TAAC tournament title in 2001. He was the first coach to win 100 games at four different schools and was honored with the court being named after him in the GSU Sports Arena.
|Don Floyd
Floyd entered Georgia State in 1939 and was arguably the first "superstar" in program history. In 1940, the men's tennis team that he led became known as "The Terror of the Southern Courts" as the team rolled everyone and went undefeated with wins over Alabama and Clemson. Among Floyd's wins that year was a victory over Clemson's Hoby Holtzendorf, one of the top players in the country. His greatest individual accomplishment came with a win over Davis Cup champion Wilmer Allison in 1943. In an interview in 1998, Don summed up his life this way "The three greatest influences in my life have been: 1. My family, 2. Tennis, 3. Georgia State University."
|Rodney Hamilton
|Until just six months ago, Hamilton held the distinction of scoring the most points (1,515) in a career in Georgia State history. A two-time all-conference selection and two-time all-academic honoree, Hamilton is one of just three former Panthers to have his number hanging from the rafters of the Sports Arena. He still holds the record for most career assists (535) and steals (212) and is second in school history in free throw percentage (.838) and games played. Hamilton is a former Georgia State Male-Athlete of the Year and is currently an assistant coach at Tennessee State.
|Bob Heck
|The 'Founding Father' of Georgia State softball in 1984 (slow pitch) and 1985 (fast pitch) coached for 24 seasons before retiring with 700 victories. He guided Georgia State to six conference championships, highlighted by a NCAA Regional berth in 1994. He was named CAA Coach of the Year in 2006 when he led the Panthers to the conference's regular season title in just their first year in the league. He recorded multiple 40-plus win seasons and by 1994, built a program that was ranked in the top 25. During his tenure, more than 90 student-athletes earned first or second-team all-conference honors. He was inducted into the Georgia Dugout Club Softball Hall of Fame and has his name on the softball complex for his many contributions to the program.
|Bruce LaBudde
|A member of the Georgia State Family for nearly 50 years, LaBudde was the first-ever Georgia State qualifier into an NCAA Championship when he accomplished the feat and the first coach to lead the Panthers to a Sun Belt title. Along with helping to organize the first Peachtree Road Race in 1970, he won the Atlanta Marathon in 1964, 1966 and 1967 and qualified for the Olympic Trials in 1968. He was the third men's cross country/track & field coach in school history (1973-91) and the first women's coach from 1976-91.
|Sheryl Martin
|Along with having her No. 24 jersey hanging from the rafters of the GSU Sports Arena, Martin has her name throughout the record books at Georgia State. Along with scoring the sixth-most points in program history (1,435), she owns the second-best single-season marks of 605 points and a 23.3 points per game average. Over a three-game stretch, she scored a school record 45 points, then went for 39, before breaking her own record with 52 to average 45.3 points per game in that span. She made 602 career field goals, fifth all-time and finished with a 76.0 free throw percentage which ranks sixth in school history. She also pulled down 933 rebounds and finished with an 11.1 rebounds per game, fourth-best in school history.
|Kevin Morris
|A three-time all-conference selection and TAAC Newcomer of the Year, Morris won the Chevrolet Scholarship Player of the Game after leading the Panthers past No. 6-seed Wisconsin in the 2001 NCAA tournament. He finished his career with the 11th-most points scored in school history, 1,212, despite playing just three seasons. He knocked down 160 3-pointers, seventh-most in school history and stands third with 202 steals. He was a leader on the 2000-01 team that went 29-5, won the TAAC regular season and tournament titles and has had his No. 13 jersey retired in the GSU Sports Arena rafters.
|Sarah-Jane Mungo
|A two-time conference player of the year and three-time all-conference honoree who owns the school records for kills (2,281), attacks (4,663), attack percentage (3.70), kills per set (4.62), points (3,029), points per set (6.16), block solos (455) and blocks per set (1.5). Mungo also owns the single-season record for kills (680) and had seasons of 567 and 547 which rank No. 3 and No. 4. Along with having her jersey retired, she played in 492 games, the second-most in school history and 134 matches, sixth-most.
|Bill and Su Reeves
|A pair who have done everything in their power to help Georgia State athletics over the years. Among their many contributions are the building of the Reeves Fieldhouse at baseball in 2003. Bill graduated from Georgia State in 1959 with a degree in business before starting several business opportunities, while Su was given the title of honorary alum from the Alumni Association. He has served as chairman of the Georgia State University Athletic Association Board of Trustees and on the Georgia State University Foundation Board. Su has been a proud supporter both financially and on the sidelines of the Georgia State Spirit Squads. She can be seen at most sporting events scoring along from her seat, though most of the time standing and cheering for all Georgia State student-athletes.

What is the 'not up to date' link for? It's only on some games, others have 'report update' instead.
This is not useful at the moment
well, users can change the status of a game too "not up to date" to report that this game had a new release. BUT i never implemented the part for the admins... so even if the status is changed it doesnt show up anywhere.... should it be finished?
Well its confusing if a link acts as information and an option to reset the information. maybe there are some design possibilities to deal with that. But i have no idea.
To make it more clear, i switched from informational name to a name that shows what happens if you click the link. It now reads: "Reset update report".
the info was not so vital after all.

So much for the preliminaries.
Now it's on to the main event.
Tom Corbett vs. Tom Wolf.
Wolf used a boatload of his own money to launch an avalanche of TV advertising in the dead of one of the most miserable winters in memory, in the process vaulting his candidacy from last to first, and leaving his foes Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz and state Treasurer Rob McCord grasping at straws. This lone Wolf never looked back, and now he looks ahead to what should be a bruising battle vs. an incumbent governor.
But before you write off Tom Corbett and his flagging poll numbers, widely identified as one of the nation's most vulnerable governors, keep this in mind.
Interesting thing about Pennsylvania. We do not routinely dump governors after one term. We have elected incumbents for a second term forever. Then we switch parties and give the other party eight years. In addition, dating back to the 1930s, in mid-term elections the state has an almost allergic reaction to candidates who are the same party as the person who inhabits the White House.
Corbett no doubt is well aware of that. Look for him to link Wolf to Obama and try to make the president's woes Wolf's.
He also should be quite cognizant of something else. A lot of people in this state continue to point an accusing finger at him for the deplorable state of education funding.
Corbett, of course, bristles at such suggestions, insisting the problem stems from local districts wrongly using federal stimulus dollars for permanent projects. When the fed funding disappeared, they were left holding the bag, hoping that the state would step in to fill the gap. Corbett had other fish to fry, swimming in a sea of red ink. The result was a brutal round of cuts, in both staff and curriculum, and a renewed push for education funding reform in the state.
So great was the outcry, along with the decades-long drumbeat against rising property taxes, that we've placed the issue under the microscope in a year-long series of editorials we've dubbed "The Keystones: Education Funding and Property Taxes."
Now it seems fairly certain that both Corbett and Wolf — as well as voters — will thoroughly debate this crucial issue as one of the "keystones" of the fall campaign.
Corbett has admitted the education funding formula is broken, and a "true funding system" that is fair to all public schools in Pennsylvania is needed. He'll get no argument from Democrats on that. But he certainly will on how to fix it. Wolf, as did his colleagues, wants to levy a tax on natural gas drilling in the state's burgeoning Marcellus Shale region to shore up flagging education funding.
It's an idea the Corbett finds abhorrent, fearful that a new levy will drive off an economic boom. Instead he pushed for and got an "impact fee" that produces much less revenue.
The playing field has now been set.
There perhaps will never be a better opportunity to put in place — once and for all — a true, fair funding formula for public education in Pennsylvania.
No sense waiting until Labor Day and the traditional start of the campaign.
Let the debate begin.

Students enrolled in the Columbus School of Law's "In House Counsel" class were treated to a special guest lecture on March 21 when Mario Guevara, chief executive officer of the BIC Group, spent more than an hour giving them a tour of his company's corporate philosophy and answering questions about legal practice in a corporate setting.
Guevara was invited to speak before the students by instructor Steve Burkhart, BIC's general counsel and a 1989 alumnus of CUA Law, who is teaching the class for a second year.
BIC is one of the world's most successful companies, selling 45-million products such as pens, disposable shavers and lighters in 160 countries every day. Guevara has served as CEO since 2006.
"This is really unique, to have the chance to ask someone questions about so many business perspectives," said Burkhart by way of introduction.
In his remarks, Guevara urged the students to think carefully about the core values of a company that they may someday aim to join as general counsel.
BIC's operating principles, he said, have served it well since its founding in 1950 and continue to inspire loyalty among its 9,600 member workforce today. BIC's core values include ethics, responsibility, ingenuity, simplicity, and teamwork. The legal department, explained Guevara, plays a key role in the company's success instilling and fulfilling these goals.
The company believes in honoring its past, building simple and reliable products, and always being responsive to customer habits and preferences.
"These values are like the lighthouse that will guide you through the fog," said Guevara.
Since its establishment in the spring of 2012, the law school's In House Counsel course offering has proven popular with students and brought in a number of prominent in-house practitioners as guest speakers.
Prior to the class lecture, Guevara and Burkhart joined Columbus School of Law Dean Daniel Attridge for lunch.

Empire State Development's board of directors met and approved $40,142,296 in funding for projects that will create more than 1,430 new jobs and retain more than 2,350 jobs throughout the Empire State. This funding will leverage $674-plus million in additional investments to support business growth and lay the groundwork for future economic growth and job creation.
"From Buffalo to Utica, down through the Hudson Valley and out to the east end of Long Island, the state is supporting key economic development projects that are creating new jobs for New Yorkers and helping grow our regional and state economies," said Empire State Development President, CEO and Commissioner Kenneth Adams. "Under Gov. Cuomo's leadership, ESD continues to be busier than ever helping existing companies expand, and attracting new businesses to the state. The funds approved by the board today are supporting key industries like the rapidly growing film and post-production industries, advanced manufacturing, and nanotechnology; as well as helping to implement regional strategies for economic growth, including boosting tourism and supporting our small business assistance centers. As we near the end of this year, we expect a strong conclusion to 2013 and anticipate an even busier 2014 as more companies learn that there is no better place to do business than the Empire State."
The board approved the following Buffalo Regional Innovation Cluster grant:
Empire Visual Effects (Western New York Region - Erie County) - $2,500,000
Empire Visual was established in 2013 through a partnership between IBC Digital, a Buffalo production company specializing in commercials, animation and visual effects, and Sixteen19, a global production services company based in New York City specializing in digitally acquired productions. A privately owned company, Empire Visual has partnered with and is acting as a special adviser to Daemen College. Together, they are creating a world-class VFX hub to transform upstate and Western New York into a major film, animation and post-production destination for the media industry. In July, Cuomo pledged to invest $4.5 million of Buffalo Billion funds to establish the VFX hub and create Daemen College's training program and Empire Visual's VFX studios, filling the funding gap and enabling the project to go forward. Empire Visual was awarded a grant of up to $2,500,000 to be used as reimbursement for a portion of capital expenditures including furniture, fixtures, equipment, information technology infrastructure, and interior renovations. The project will create 150 new jobs in the post-production industry by Jan. 1, 2019. It is anticipated that many of Empire Visual's employees will be graduates of the Daemen College training program.
Daemen College (Western New York Region - Erie County) - $1,983,949
Daemen College in Buffalo, a private four-year college offering undergraduate and graduate degrees and certificates for programs, is establishing a new post-production visual effects hub in Western New York. The college will use a grant of up to $1,983,949 for a portion of hardware, software, screening room and furnishing expenditures as Daemen upgrades its facilities to accommodate a new training program.
Due to the demand for visual effects, the post-production portion of film budgets has been increasing dramatically over the last several years. In New York state alone, the motion picture and television industry is responsible for more than 91,000 direct jobs and $8.2 billion in wages annually for production and distribution-related jobs. Over the past 18 months, Cuomo has strengthened incentives to attract postproduction film and television activity to New York, specifically with the New York State Film Production Tax Credit Program, which increases the percentage of tax credits available for projects that did not film in New York, but will now qualify for credits for post-production work done in New York
Daemen has already completed a pilot training program, with three students graduating on Oct. 15. The current semester has 15 students, with graduation scheduled for January 2014. While Daemen does not have a job commitment associated with its project, its VFX hub partner, Empire Visual, will create 150 new jobs in the post-production industry by Jan. 1, 2019. By January 2014, Empire Visual expects to be operational and employ 25 people, of which 15-18 are expected to be graduates of the training program.
The board approved the following Downstate Revitalization Fund grant:
Walkway Over the Hudson (Mid-Hudson Region - Dutchess County) - $2,250,000
The board approved the following Economic Development Purposes Fund grant:
Welded Tube (Western New York Region - Erie County) - $3,000,000
Welded Tube was established in 2012 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Welded Tube of Canada Corp. to launch a U.S. operation. The parent corporation, founded in 1970 in Ontario, Canada, produces approximately 350,000 tons of tubular products annually, including American Petroleum Institute-certified oil country tubular goods from its Canadian facilities. In 2012, the parent company - which employees more than 600 people at its five North American manufacturing locations - decided that it needed to expand in order to stay competitive in their field and started scouting locations, including sites in Buffalo and Alabama and Ontario, Canada. ESD provided an incentive proposal to the a $3 million loan and $2 million in Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits, resulting in the decision to proceed with the construction of the $48 million facility in Erie County.
The project, which began in 2012, involved the acquisition of 45 acres of vacant industrial land on a portion of the former Bethlehem Steel site; construction of a 109,000-square-foot, single-story engineered steel building to house the production line; and acquisition and installation of new machinery and equipment necessary to establish a U.S. steel pipe manufacturing mill. The company is expected to produce 100,000-150,000 tons of steel pipe per shift, which will be shipped to the parent's Welland, Ontario, facility for finishing. The project was to create 25 new jobs by September, restoring manufacturing jobs to a highly distressed area. The company has already created 33 jobs and plans to create approximately 20 more jobs within the next year. Moreover, the project promotes "Smart Growth" by converting a former Brownfield site with existing infrastructure in the City of Lackawanna to a state-of-the art manufacturing facility.
The board approved the following Empire State Economic Development Fund grants:
PepsiCo Bottling Division (Mid-Hudson Region - Westchester County) - $4,000,000
Entrepreneurial Assistance Program - Statewide (Training and Technical Assistance Grants) - $1,558,347
Encouraging the formation and growth of small businesses is an important strategic goal in New York. There are currently 24 entrepreneurial assistance program centers located throughout state providing comprehensive assistance in enterprise development to owners and prospective owners of small businesses, with a particular interest in serving minority group members, women, dislocated workers and individuals with special needs. Effective EAP programs provide intensive, community-based training, technical assistance and other related services to small business owners or entrepreneurs, particularly minorities and women, to stimulate new business development and to strengthen businesses in the early stages of development. Such assistance is especially important in economically distressed areas where high levels of unemployment and declining infrastructure further limit the ability for these young businesses to develop.
The 2013-14 state budget included additional funding for EAP Centers, 21 of which are receiving approval for funding from the ESD board today. The centers will use allocated funds for expenses related to training and technical assistance; operating expenses including, but not limited to, salaries of EAP coordinators and additional support staff; promotional and marketing materials; travel; classroom materials; and supplies. EAP centers are required to provide reports relating to their specific achievements during the contract period. In addition, financial reports and documentation of expenditures will be required for disbursement of funds. ESD will verify that each center is in compliance with program regulations and guidelines and is following all existing contractual arrangements by reviewing, verifying and approving the required documentation, including financial reports and payment requests.
Since the collection of data began in 1990, the program has provided services to more than 27,608 clients who have started, retained or expanded more than 16,142 businesses, increased sales by $278.7 million, secured $137.6 million in financing and increased employment by 16,638 individuals (including the 5,307 jobs created for new business owners).

So after stalking the boards and feeling super informed about the process we finally got preamp proved with a direct VA lender. So it's zero down, our closing cost are covered and we found a home to put an offer on $499k listed. Ten the agent says we need wear nest deposit andd I though ok 1-3 k not too big of a deal but he wanted 10-15k! He said the seller wouldn't even consider it with $3000! I was shocked!
We told him that's all we could do and the worst the could say was No and asked him to call the selling agent to get a feel on their flexibility with this ( House has been on the market 40 days where they are typically lasting 10) The agent said they would consider it so we put a full price offer (originally we would have offered 489k) to make the offer stronger SO my question is 10-15k typical of an earnest deposit? I mean I get it if you have to put that money down for a down payment or closing but if you don't is that much necessary?
It depends on the market as to what is typical, but I wouldn't say that it is unusual in California. The seller is free to set whatever deposit requirement he wishes, and in a hot market, they tend to set them higher to weed out marginal buyers. They don't want to be locked into a maybe when they can sideline maybes and lock in a definite.
Ugh. I wish I woulda known maybe I wouldn't have paid so much to the cc's ... What do you think the chances are? The one thing tht looks good for us is that with the house our debt/ income is only 31%....

It's possible. With the listing being aged, you should have a motivated seller, but if he's jerking you around about the deposit, it doesn't bode well (IMO) for the negotiating process. What are the comps in the area going for?
My primary rule with regard to buying real estate has always been that you have to be prepared to walk away. Construct the maximum deal in your head that you are prepared to offer, and try to get below it. If the seller remains incalcitrant and won't at least hit your worst case deal, then walk away. If the house is in good condition, in a desirable area and priced correctly, it should have moved long before now. That it hasn't tells me that either 1) it has problems or 2) it has a problematic seller. In this case, I'm betting on #2.
The comps are really right on... The realtor originally suggested 489.
the house is empty and it's a standard sell, I don't think it was a flip because the last sell recorded was 08/2003 but it has been updated with new floors and carpet, with all that I would think they would be motivated. the reason the realtor said it might still be on the market is that it's a little ways from the freeway, maybe 5 miles not that big of a deal to us. Honestly, he kind of scared us into a full price offer because of our deposit But we are comfortable with the price, we won't pay more than that Though.
Homes are starting to go a little faster but There are a lot of homes out there right now that we would be happy in but I'm just worried that we will run into the sames problem on the earnest deposit amount being too insignificant.
That high deposit requirement strategy is the sort of thing that you employ when you expect to be flooded with offers in an overheated market, and you want to winnow out the weaker buyers. The accepted standard for earnest money requirements in a normal market tends to hover around 1%, give or take. This clown is demanding 3%, which is excessive IMO.
Given that the market isn't remotely overheated, it sounds to me like the guy either doesn't really want to sell the property (deep down), so he's sabotaging the deal or he's operating in la-la land and thinks he's sitting on Windsor Castle. I'm amazed that his realtor didn't flip out over him mandating that deposit in this market.
I wouldn't imagine that you'll run into other sellers in the area wanting that much down. It's a self-defeating strategy for someone who ostensibly wants to work a deal and get the thing sold.

We just got a response from the seller, they are now asking 520k! The house has been on the market 50 days, there was no open house over the weekend and they said they got multiple offers, total bs! We are NOT paying more than asking (499). I just can't believe it!
this would be a good situation to walk away if you didnt want to deal with it BUT if you did have the funds and settled on a quick close with 0 money down, seller paying closing cost, and if the accept a reasonable offer you will get the earnest money back at closing
Are they now asking $520k because you asked them to pay your closing costs and pre-paid expenses in the offer?
If so, then pay your own closing costs and reduce the price to what you are willing to pay. Some sellers absolutely do not want to pay the buyer's costs, especially when they see their own costs to close.

Begin your "HOLIDAZE!" at Gladys City Dec. 10 and 11
Lamar University's Spindletop-Gladys City Boomtown Museum will embrace the joy of the Christmas season with HOLIDAZE! at Gladys City – a Wildcatter Weekend special event – on Dec. 10 and 11. The museum buildings and grounds will be decorated and bustling with people preparing for the holiday season, much like the boomtown in the early 1900s would have been.
Activities from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. on both Saturday, Dec. 10, and Sunday, Dec. 11, are planned to entertain the whole family. Craft artisans will help children make Christmas boxes, bracelets and pine cone ornaments. Children also will have an opportunity to write and mail letters to Santa in the Gladys City Post Office.

For nearly 40 years, Aretha Franklin has been an icon of contemporary pop music, known around the world as the "Queen of Soul." With her extraordinary range and incendiary gospel-inspired phrasing, Franklin exploded onto the music scene in the late 1960s becoming the country's leading female vocalist and one of the first female performers to inject the rhythms and intensity of black gospel music into mainstream pop.
She was raised in Detroit, where her father was a Baptist minister. She sang in the church choir as a child. At 14 she became a soloist in her father's traveling gospel revue and made her first professional recording. The major musical influences during these years were Clara Ward, Mahalia Jackson, and James Cleveland.
She arrived in New York at age 18 and spent the first half of the 1960s appearing on a wide variety of stages, from seamy R&B clubs to concert halls, singing rhythm-and-blues and jazz to predominantly black audiences. It was in 1966, though, when she made her first recordings for Atlantic Records--"an explosive combination of economical songwriting, terse arrangements, and virtuoso, at times histrionic, vocal style" (The New Grove Dictionary of American Music)--that the legend was born. She went to Muscle Shoals, Alabama, to record a series of songs, beginning with "I Never Loved a Man (the Way I Loved You)," that became best-sellers. More hits followed quickly: "Respect," "Baby, I Love You," "A Natural Woman," "Chain of Fools," and "Dr. Feelgood." Gold record followed gold record. In addition, she made a triumphal tour of Europe, where she was hailed as the successor to Bessie Smith. She was honored with Grammy Awards and Billboard magazine named her top vocalist of 1967. That era has now become known as the "golden age of soul," and Aretha Franklin is its defining artist, giving voice to a black sense of identity at the time of the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. and the American civil rights movement. "With a spectacular instrument, capable of a cornet's full brassy tone and agility over several octaves, Franklin can translate pride and heartbreak into soaring, diving improvisations" (The Washington Post).
By the mid-'70s Aretha Franklin had six gold albums, 14 gold singles, and eight Grammy Awards. She explained the popularity of her recordings by saying, "I look for a good lyric, a good melody, something meaningful. When I go into the studio I put everything into it. Even the kitchen sink."
In 1980 she realized her long-standing ambition to make movies with a knockout performance in The Blues Brothers. Then in 1987 she became the first female performer to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She began the '90s with a Grammy Award for Lifetime Achievement.
Her greatest achievement, perhaps, has been the ability to break down boundaries, to appeal to this country's vast range of musical tastes. "Her voice is one of the glories of American music. Lithe and sultry, assertive and caressing, knowing and luxuriant, her singing melts down any divisions between gospel, soul, jazz, and rock" (The New York Times).

BEIRUT (AP) — Internet service was restored in Syria on Wednesday, after a countrywide outage cut off the country from the rest of the world for nearly 20 hours, state media said.
The state news agency SANA said a problem with a fiber optics cable was to blame for the second nationwide outage since a two-day blackout in November.
There had been speculation that the regime pulled the plug, possibly as a cover for military actions in the deadly conflict, now in its third year. But no large-scale military offensives were reported Wednesday, and there were no immediate allegations of sabotage by the opposition.
In the past, President Bashar Assad's government halted Internet service in selected areas during government offensives to disrupt communication among rebel fighters trying to oust him. The last nationwide outage coincided with a major military operation in areas around the capital and near Damascus International Airport.
The current outage began when Internet service abruptly stopped at about 9:45 p.m. Tuesday. It was restored sometime after 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Also on Wednesday, the international envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, welcomed a new Russian-U.S. initiative to negotiate an end the Syrian conflict, which so far has claimed the lives of more than 70,000 people, according to the United Nations. A decision to convene an international conference later this month to build on a transition plan for Syria is "the first hopeful news" concerning Syria "in a very long time," Brahimi said.
The goal of the plan, set out in Geneva last year, is to bring the Assad regime and representatives from the opposition together for talks on an interim government. Each side would be allowed to veto candidates it finds unacceptable. The proposal also calls for an open-ended cease-fire and the formation of a transitional government to run the country until new elections can be held and a new constitution drafted.
Brahimi has repeatedly expressed frustrations over the failure to find a political solution in Syria, and has lamented the divisions on the U.N. Security Council that have prevented any international action from being taken.
Iran, one of Assad's strongest allies, also said it is ready to help any attempt to end Syria's crisis.
Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi wrote in an opinion piece that it is up to the Syrian people to choose their political system and president, suggesting Tehran is not wedded to Assad's continued rule.
"Iran is ready to make successful any fair initiative that guarantees the interests of the Syrian people and restores stability to this country," he wrote in the Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar.
The main opposition group, the Syrian National Coalition, said Wednesday it welcomed efforts to reach a political solution, but reiterated that any transition must begin with the departure of Assad and officials in his regime.
Syrian officials have said that Assad will stay in his post until his seven-year term ends next year and he will run again. The Syrian opposition says it will not accept anything less than Assad's departure.
In fighting in Syria on Wednesday, government troops pushed into a strategic town along the highway leading to the Jordanian border.
The regime's advance into Khirbet Ghazaleh, a town south of Damascus along a key artery to the border, came after weeks of fighting and government attempts to secure the highway.
The push was part of a wider offensive against rebels in which Assad's troops have regained some areas around Damascus, in the central province of Homs near the Lebanese border and in the region of Aleppo to the north.
Meanwhile, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and another activist group, the Aleppo Media Center, said opposition fighters shot down a fighter jet that was bombing rebel positions in the battle for the Mannagh air base near the border with Turkey.
Rebels stormed the besieged air base on Sunday and the fighting was reported on Wednesday inside the sprawling facility, the activists said. Also on Sunday, the rebels downed a military helicopter in the eastern Deir el-Zour region, killing eight government troops who were aboard.
Assad's forces on Wednesday attacked a military post they had lost to the rebels earlier in the northern town of Khan al-Assal, the two activist groups said.
The Observatory reported heavy fighting in Qusair, a town near the Lebanese border under government siege.
Rami Abdul-Rahman, who heads the Observatory, said mediation is underway between people close to the regime and some regional "elements" to make the rebels withdraw from the town although many are still rejecting to leave.
Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu accused Syrian forces of "ethnic cleansing" in the coastal city of Banias, where activists said troops and pro-government Alawite gunmen killed at least 62 Sunni Muslims last week.
"It is ethnic cleansing. The aim is to frighten people and drive them away," said Davutoglu in an interview with Turkey's Hurriyet newspaper.
Although Sunnis are the majority among Syrians and mostly back the opposition, the Syrian coast is inhabited by Christians and members of Assad's Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.
Separately, in southern Syria, rebels continued to hold four U.N. peacekeepers who were abducted Tuesday near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. The abduction was the second such incident in the area in two months. It exposed the vulnerability of the U.N. peacekeeping mission during the Syrian civil war and sent a worrisome signal to Syria's neighbors — including Israel — about the ensuing lawlessness along their shared frontiers.
Associated Press writer Juergen Baetz in Berlin and Suzan Fraser in Ankara, Turkey, contributed to this report.

Since Sept. 1, many producers have watched and some ignored the fact that corn prices have dropped by over $2/bu. and soybeans approximately $3.50/bu. While some may think this is a short-term correction in a long-term bull market, I am not in that camp.
Six months from now it may well be that everyone will look back on what's transpired in recent months as an "event" changing market. What I am inferring is something that has occurred in the fundamentals and the structure of a market that has resulted in a substantial change in price direction. For example, let me give you an example of other event markets:
- The Russian grain heist in 1973 that catapulted grain prices higher.
- The collapse of Enron and WorldCom that resulted in a lack of confidence for investors, and hundreds of millions of dollars were pulled out of the stock market in 2002.
- The collapse of many banks as well as General Motors and Chrysler in 2008, which resulted in the largest exodus in history from the stock market and the biggest loss in personal net worth of the average American.
These were "events." They sometimes and frequently come as a surprise and not easily recognizable in the beginning. What are the events that are impacting the grain markets? Quite simply: the European collapse and the collapse of MF Global.
Europe accounts for 27% of the world's GDP, the U.S. 25% and China 10%. What happens there is important. This collapse became intertwined with the collapse of MF Global. In a nutshell, in order to enhance returns and segregated funds, MF Global invested money in European bonds because they paid higher rates than government securities. As Europe came down the price of those bonds also collapsed, which brought MF Global into bankruptcy. And that impacted thousands of U.S. farmers and grain elevators who cleared trades through MF Global.
The ultimate impact of this entire situation is a lack of confidence in the commodity markets and individual farmers and investors not wanting to be involved in the futures and options market. While some may say "it's about time," let's keep in mind that whether or not you directly use futures and options somewhere along the line, whoever buys your grain does. If the ability is no longer there to offset risk, then prices retreat to a much lower level where there is little risk.
In this type of a market you may have a neighbor who is what I would call a "line-item" economist who concentrates on only one fundamental such as subsoil moisture level, despite the fact that it may never rain again or that China may bail us out. But those line-item fundamentals are only a very small part in the big picture. And the big picture right now is Europe bringing the rest of the world down.
What It All Means
I started writing in early September that the grain markets were ready to enter the biggest bear market in history. It wasn't very popular and very few people wanted to believe it. It has now unfolded and the last chapter has not yet been written. There will be rallies in this market – but from where? As I stated before, this was not a year to store grain (a short crop) and that passing up $6.50 corn and $13 soybeans at harvesttime could prove to be very costly. It now appears it's going to be more costly than even I thought.

DES MOINES — Newt Gingrich has opened up a double-digit lead over Mitt Romney in three early states and significantly narrowed the gap in New Hampshire, the state that has been the firewall for the former Massachusetts governor's campaign, according to a set of new polls by CNN and Time magazine.
In Florida, a state where Romney's campaign has put early emphasis, Gingrich is leading Romney by a 2-to-1 margin, according to the poll by CNN/Time/ORC International. If the election were held today, 48 percent of likely Republican voters in Florida said they would support Gingrich, compared with 25 percent for Romney.

UC Davis Medical Center is a winner of the 2013 Enterprise HIMSS Davies Award of Excellence, which recognizes excellence in the use of health information technology.
Specifically, the Nicholas E. Davies Award recognizes the use of the electronic health record (EHR) to successfully improve health-care delivery processes and patient safety while achieving a demonstrated return on investment.
"We are very proud of the recognition of the Enterprise HIMSS Davies Award of Excellence," said Thomas S. Nesbitt, interim Vice Chancellor for Human Health Sciences and dean of the School of Medicine. "This award demonstrates the high level of partnership throughout UC Davis Health System and our commitment to effectively using modern information technology to provide the safest and highest quality care to our patients."
UC Davis earned the award in part for implementing a sophisticated, accredited EHR system used to improve quality of care and patient safety that extends well beyond the medical center. HIMSS, the nation's leading hospital information technology society, noted that UC Davis has exchanged 3.7 million patient records of different types with non-affiliated health providers in the community and region since 2008.
The medical center in Sacramento and affiliated UC Davis clinics serve a large, highly diverse, inland Northern California population that is spread out over 33 counties and approximately 65,000 square miles. In addition to the geographic challenges of helping patients at a distance, UC Davis clinicians have often encountered patients who have had recent clinical tests performed by other care providers who weren't able to easily share that information with UC Davis.
"UC Davis leadership made the modern EHR, telehealth and other associated health information exchange connections a top organizational priority years ago," said Michael Minear, chief information officer for the health system, who also helped the health system achieve Stage 7 of the HIMSS Analytics EMR Adoption Model in 2012 as well as "Most Wired" and "Most Connected" designations.
"We always are striving to improve our IT infrastructure and we continue to make investments and improvements," said Minear. "This strong support and institutional commitment, including clinician leadership, strong funding support from leadership, and updated procedures and policies, have been successful in supporting our technology goals," said Minear.
To be considered for the Davies award, UC Davis Health System submitted case studies in five different topic areas that highlight how UC Davis has fully integrated health information technologies to improve patient care and safety, and to advance research and cost control.
Summaries of the case studies are as follows:
- Health Information Exchange: Targeting National Patient Safety Goals, such as making sure important test results and patient medication information gets passed along to the right people at the right time, UC Davis deployed its EHR system to support the exchange of patient clinical data within the health system and beyond. It is now averaging more than 64,000 records of multiple types per month with non-affiliated care providers. Record sharing extends far beyond the Sacramento area to include distant parts of California and a number of other states.
- Clinical Value: The EHR system has emerged as one of the most transformative events in the history of the health system. It has become the new foundation for care delivery, providing sophisticated tools for reliable, transparent and safe clinical practices, especially for quality-of-care improvements such as reducing infection rates. The EHR system has enabled the medical center to establish real-time surveillance, 24/7, within the hospital to help recognize and measure trends and events quickly. Life-threatening complications from infections such as sepsis and ventilator-associated pneumonia were significantly reduced with the help of the EHR and other clinical software applications, which gave hospital personnel the tools to better monitor and sustain best practices in infection control.
- Telehealth: For the past 20 years, the UC Davis Center for Health and Technology Program in Sacramento has been providing health-care services to rural underserved communities throughout the state using telecommunications technologies. Its telehealth program is one of the largest in the country, having provided nearly 37,000 synchronous (real time) and asynchronous (digitally captured and stored information available for review at a later time) telemedicine consultations, through highly secure, medical-grade connections, in more than 50 different clinical specialties. The center also expanded its reach through an internationally recognized and accredited education program, by helping create the California Telehealth Network, and by advancing crucial telehealth policies at state and federal levels as well as being a catalyst for a number of significant eHealth initiatives.
- Privacy and Security: To achieve its goals of improving the effectiveness of communication among caregivers, as well as engaging patients and families in managing and making care decisions, the health system took a holistic approach to privacy and security of information and communications. It embraced a multi-faceted effort aimed at achieving a careful balance between safeguarding protected health information and avoiding overly restrictive access controls that could interfere with patient care. UC Davis created a number of innovative processes and software tools to manage access to clinical content. It also made significant investments in modern security technology that are uncommon for care providers. In addition, it paid particular attention to encrypting client computers and securing thumb drives, relevant emails and computer backup media.
- Return on Investment: The EHR and associated technologies have had a dramatic impact on UC Davis Health System by enabling it to realize significant returns on the clinical technology investment in the form of enhanced revenues and reduced costs. The organization invested an estimated $160 million in capital costs from 2002 to 2013, and it saved an estimated $63 million over the same time period. The case study indicates there also are many other "soft" savings gained and costs avoided due to the electronic health record system, such as achieving the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' "Meaningful Use" goal for EHR and thus avoiding costly institutional penalties for not attaining it. Clinical-care improvement has been the primary driver of UC Davis' commitment to EHR. But enhanced revenue and reduced costs for the health system are the additional benefits of EHR implementation.
"We've shown that once the core elements of an EHR system are deployed to support clinical care, an organization starts to think very differently about clinical content and processes," said Minear. "Our work and achievements, however, represent more than just technological successes. We embraced health information technologies because they truly complemented our long-standing commitment to quality care and patient safety."
Winning enterprise organizations, including academic medical centers, community hospitals, rural health hospitals and critical-access hospitals, must demonstrate the value of the EHR in supporting delivery of patient care and also document improved patient outcomes, identify the challenges faced, and describe the solutions implemented in a manner that can be replicated by other organizations. Winners of the HIMSS Enterprise Davies Award must have achieved Stage 6 or Stage 7 on the HIMSS Analytics EMR Adoption Model.
"It is our pleasure to announce that UC Davis Medical Center has received the Davies Enterprise Award. Their implementation of their EHR and other supporting health information technology solutions have allowed them to demonstrate significant clinical and financial value in the challenging environment of a teaching, patient care, and research facility," says Janis Curtis, chair, Davies Enterprise Committee, and Business Relationship Director at Duke University Health System. "UC Davis Medical Center is a pioneer in health information security and telehealth. Their efforts and achievements have truly advanced the health information technology industry and all of their case studies serve as valuable reference information for other organizations."
UC Davis Medical Center will be recognized at the 2014 Annual HIMSS Conference & Exhibition in Orlando, Fla., on Feb. 23-27, 2014. For more information on applying for the HIMSS Davies Awards of Excellence, visit the HIMSS Davies Award website. Applications are accepted throughout the year.

Well, as you will see from the sources I've proven that it is since and I don't hear that argument to much anymore. I wanted to make sure others didn't either. That's why I created this site – which I'm currently working on remodeling.

Victor Cruz said earlier in the week that his representatives have agreed on the "structure" of a new contract with the New York Giants. That comes down to the definition of the word "structure."
Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com reported Sunday the sides aren't close. There's still plenty of work to be done on a long-term contract for New York's electric slot receiver, according to La Canfora, but talks proceed with a sense of "optimism."
The Giants aren't about to let their leading receiver slip away in free agency. Cruz means too much to quarterback Eli Manning and the Giants' aggressive passing offense.
A deal might not happen right away, but the Giants historically sign core players without too much drama (as long as your name isn't Osi Umenyiora), and we expect Cruz to remain in New York well beyond 2012.
