WILSON, NC — The Barton College women's volleyball team cruised to a 3-0 Conference Carolinas victory on Tuesday night over visiting Coker College.
Barton won 25-8, 25-20 and 25-17.
The Lady Bulldogs used effective blocking (eight total) and aggressive serving to beat the Cobras. Senior Chancey Sebranek had a hand in six blocks and laced 10 kills from the middle hitter position. Senior Meagan Parrott notched 11 kills with just two errors. Defensively for the Lady Bulldogs, senior libero Cassie Blackmon dug up eight balls.
Cynallhia Indriago paced the Coker attack with eight kills and 16 digs.
Coker will head to USC-Aiken for a tournament starting Friday. The Cobras will take on UC-Pembroke and Augusta State on Friday afternoon starting at 1:00 p.m.

"It's all going to be OK," Community's new showrunner David Guarascio assured fans at the Comic-Con panel moderated by Michael Schneider of TV Guide Magazine on Friday.
Guarscio had joined the NBC comedy along with Moses Port for the series' upcoming fourth season, filling the shoes of fired showrunner Dan Harmon. Fans were in an uproar over his departure, afraid that no one else would be able to reproduce the unique, irreverent, pop-culture-referencing wackiness that is a hallmark of the series.
"A couple months ago we were just like you, huge fans of the show," Guarascio said. "And now we're here helping [to keep] it going — the weird wonderful gem that it is, and that's not going to change. Like no other show, [fan interaction] really influences what appears on screen... we talk about what you [the fans] would like on a regular basis. So, thank you."
The show doesn't start production on Season 4 until mid-August, but the new head honchos were able to tease a little of what's to come, including the study group entering their senior year. "It's a very emotional time for people," said Guarascio. "We'll explore some new relationships, one of them might be Dean Pelton and Jeff." He also danced around the question of how the show would continue after graduation: "I think there's a way to be true to the show and have the characters develop organically to have the show keep going even if they're not all in the same place."
Community creator Dan Harmon on his firing: "Maybe I am just a jerk"
The gang will also go off campus to visit an "Inspector Spacetime" convention — an announcement that caused the Comic-Con crowd to go wild — and the "twisted world" of Pierce's mansion.
And although Joel McHale, who plays the narcissistic Jeff Winger, didn't have any solid information about the upcoming season, he offered up his own fictitious casting announcement. "Eddie Murphy, everybody, will be playing my father. Very exciting. Pluto Nash himself."
The fourth season of Community will premiere on Friday, Oct. 19 at 8:30/7:30c on NBC.

Dry spell slows crop development
Dry spell slows crop development
DES MOINES, Iowa —
The condition of the corn crop in Iowa and nationally has declined slightly as a late summer dry hot spell settles in over Iowa and other Midwest states renewing fears of a crop damaging drought.
The Department of Agriculture says in Monday's weekly report that corn is about two weeks behind schedule in Iowa as 21 percent is now rated poor or very poor up from 18 percent the previous week and 44 percent is good or excellent, down from 48 percent previously. The remaining portion is fair.
Nationally a larger portion of the crop similarly slipped into poor or very poor category.
Iowa soybeans are now 20 percent poor or very poor, up from 18 percent the week before. A similar decline is reported nationally.

The Painted Cube Problem
Lesson 1 of 9
Objective: SWBAT analyze patterns in data tables to determine whether the tables show linear or quadratic relationships and describe these same types of patterns in the context of a real-world problem.
Big Idea: Students discover examples of various polynomials functions in the context of a hands-on problem and make generalizations about how different relationships show up in data tables.
The two problems in this warm-up are designed to prepare students for the day's lesson and to get them thinking about the big idea of this unit: the relationship between the behavior of a polynomial function and the function rule.
The first problem is about data tables. Students may or may not remember previous work on linear and quadratic data tables. The Resource Poster will remind them if they have forgotten. It is worth discussing again why a constant difference creates a linear function and why increasing differences create non-linear functions.
The key idea about these polynomial data tables is that we can examine the differences between consecutive outputs, and the differences between those differences, and the differences between those differences and so on. The number of levels of differences that it takes us to get a sequence of constant differences tells us the degree of the polynomial. This can be proved to be true using calculus (the Power Rule). If you think about the differences as working kind of like derivatives, if you keep finding higher order derivatives of any polynomial function, eventually the degree will be 0, because the Power Rule reduces the degree each time you differentiate. Obviously students will not understand this now, but it is an interesting idea to plant in their minds for later on.
The scaffold for students who need extra support is the Poster to remind students of their previous knowledge about linear and quadratic patterns in data tables. The extension is for students to find equations for as many of the data tables as they can. Additionally, the 2nd and 3rd pages of the warm-up ask students to go beyond the basic expectations.
Resources (2)
Resources (2)
The amount of instruction you provide at the end of this lesson really depends on how much progress students make towards solving the problem today. If students complete the data tables for the Painted Cube problem, they will be able to do more analysis of the tables and you can take time at the end of the lesson to discuss how to determine the rules for these data tables. Many of my students had only barely begun to figure out how to complete one row of the table at a time, which is fine for the first day.
I plan to give students some time to think about the exit ticket questions and write their initial thoughts. After they have done this, we will discuss the connection between the first warm-up problem and the Painted Cube problem and give students a little bit more time to predict what type of equation will show up in each column of the data table. This is just a prediction for now, so ask students to justify their thinking but it doesn't matter if they have the correct predictions at this time.

Elopement: Hinda + MattJune 3, 2013
How cute is this couple? After backpacking for 6 months, they decided to hop over to NYC to get married and pulled together an adorable elopement in 3 days!
From Hinda:
Having been engaged for 3 years and having no idea nor desire to organize a wedding from over in the UK we really weren't sure if or when it was going to happen. After deciding to move back to Australia we packed our bags for one last hurrah- 6 months with nothing but us, our backpacks and an LP for Africa and South America. Towards the end of this trip, while on a bus in Colombia (one of many tediously long uncomfortable bus rides) we got chatting about the whole wedding thing and Matt suggested NYC- a place we'd visited a couple of times and absolutely loved. So there it was… a text to Matt's sister to meet us and bring my rings, no one else was to know. Our motto was 'Keep it Simple'.
We arrived in freezing NY after spending our days surfing in Panama it was a bit of a shock- the big city and 3 days to get a marriage license, book a restaurant and find outfits- the dirty warn out back packing clothes weren't going to suffice. We awoke on Monday 25th March to snow fall and a miserable grey day….but it didn't matter; we had a ball. With ticket C714 in hand we tied the knot at City Hall! Followed by a really fun photo session with Dustin and the incredible tasting menu at The Modern, MoMA.
Our parents were slightly shocked to get our email whilst at work saying surprise we got married!! All's forgiven now 🙂

text: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a major public health problem that disrupts families and leads to significant disability. There is no treatment aimed at the neurobiological bases of ASD. Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) provides an ideal model for autism research, given the very high rates of autism spectrum disorders associated with TSC and its increasingly well-characterized genetic and molecular basis. Breakthrough findings are emerging from studies of both animal models and children with TSC, of which 25-60% have ASD. The undisputed identification of two genes that cause TSC has led to the development of mouse models for TSC, which allows researchers to study the particular deleterious effects of the genetic mutations on brain functioning. There is promising evidence that these genes may cause defects in brain wiring and the connections among brain cells, and that these wiring abnormalities can be prevented or reversed by a class of drugs: the mTOR inhibitors. This Phase II randomized, placebo-controlled trial study will evaluate the efficacy of RAD001, an mTOR inhibitor, in 6-21 year old individuals with TSC, to test the hypothesis that mTOR inhibition may improve aspects of neurocognition in children and young adults with TSC. It will use a broad battery of neurocognitive tests to evaluate the study participants before, during and after treatment. While this trial is limited to individuals with TSC, the mTOR pathway has been implicated in other ASD-associated diseases such as Fragile X and patients with PTEN mutations. Therefore, it is hoped that findings from this study, although limited to individuals with TSC, may have implications for other subpopulations of individuals with ASD in the future.

Eliot Lipp Remixed
Eliot Lipp has been producing tracks and hitting the road for over eight years now. While he's certainly become a fixture of the electronic scene, Lipp has also found himself on the lineups of some of the biggest jam-oriented festivals out there, from Rothbury to Wakarusa. His forays into that world have helped make him one of a few producers that have found some crossover appeal amongst jam audiences. We caught up with Lipp in New York City as he was preparing to open for one of the kings of the jam/electronic crossover—STS9—to sit down for a conversation about collaborations, festivals, self-releasing music, the prospect of touring with a live band and more.
So how did this four-show run with STS9 come about?
Well, I've known the guys in Sound Tribe for years. I toured with them a long, long time ago back in like '05 and '06, '07. So, we've just been buddies, we kept in touch and we hang out every now and then so when they were coming to the Northeast they just hit me up to see if I wanted to jump on. It was pretty natural because we've done it before. It's actually been a couple of years since we've toured together but it's a good fit, you know. I think the music goes well together.
So when did you first get to know these guys? When did you meet up with them?
Back in '05 probably. Some friends of mine in Chicago, we had mutual friends in Chicago, this group Telefon Tel Aviv, and our friend John Hughes and the record label that I was on, Hefty. They were all buddies with Sound Tribe so we ended up on a bill together at a show in Chicago and we just clicked. We liked each other's music and we started hanging out.
Were you a fan of jambands growing up?
Not at all. I never even knew about most of these bands until I started touring myself and playing festivals and stuff and then I started to hear about jambands like the Biscuits and Umphrey's and all these other bands. I never knew about them at all until I started doing shows and touring.
There are jamband oriented groups out there, groups like the Disco Biscuits and STS9 who perform electronic music with live instrumentation. Have you ever thought about bringing in some sort of live instrumentation into your performances?
Yeah, definitely. I've got a show coming up in Philly with a guitar player that I've done some shows with before, Nick Bockrath, he's got a group called Nico's Gun. But we did a couple shows last summer together too. We played Camp Bisco, I had a full band at Camp Bisco with a drummer and keyboardist and everything. So yeah that's something I definitely… I love playing with a band, you know. But it's so different from doing the solo thing. I really like to be able to do both.
You signed with Pretty Lights Music for your last album. How's that been going for you since you signed with them?
Good. I like that record label. I like that they give everything away for free and I think Pretty Lights fans seem to be pretty open to my music so it's been a good way to… a platform sort of to release my music on.
Tell me about your collaboration with Wick-It the Instigator. How did that come about?
Well we have… I actually met him at a show in Georgia years ago. We did this festival together and it was crazy, the weather was crazy, there was this huge thunderstorm and it was pouring down rain and he was playing this epic set and it was pretty awesome. And that was when we first met. And then we're doing a few shows together coming up so we talked about just in order to promote the shows to make a collaboration together, and we bounced that project back and forth maybe four or five times before it was done and then we mixed it and got it mastered and just threw it up there on the internet. That's kind of a way I like to put out music these days. Just soon as I finish a song to post it. It takes away all the bullshit, you know?

The Port of Greater Baton Rouge has approved a lease with a company that will build a $30 million wood pellet transfer operation at the port's Port Allen facility.
Baton Rouge Transit, a subsidiary of the United Kingdom-based multinational Drax Group, will build a facility consisting of three domes with a capacity of 40,000 short tons each and rail and truck unloading conveyors on 10 acres of port property.
The wood pellets, which will be manufactured in plants in Morehouse Parish and in Mississippi, will come into the port facility to be shipped out to be used as fuel in Europe.
The lease, which has three five-year options, takes effect in January, and the facility should be operational in early 2014, Port Director Jay Hardman said.
The lease terms include base rent of $6,500 per acre and additional revenue based on the amount of pellets that run through the facility.
Initial revenue for the port from the deal is projected to be $672,000 in 2014 and about $1.6 million in 2015. In that year, for example, $1.1 million would come from throughput. The operation is projected to bring $274,500 in dockage (30 Panamax vessels) and $90,000 in rail revenue (9,000 rail cars).
The port had to part ways with another planned wood pellet operation, Point Bio Energy, earlier this year after that company's efforts to line up financing and other contracts took longer than the port expected. Point Bio ended up leasing some property near the port.
In other business, the port commission voted to sever its newly established lease with the sand drying operation GNS Frac, which never got off the ground due to low natural gas prices and the loss of its major financial backer.
The $10 million facility would have prepared sand to barge out for use by oil and gas companies drilling in domestic markets.

College of Arts & Humanities
Dr. Chuck Neufeld said there might be a surprise or two when Lander University's two major choral ensembles stage a concert titled "Serious Nonsense," on Tuesday, April 10, at 8 p.m., in Lander's Josephine B. Abney Cultural Center Auditorium.
Neufeld is an associate professor of music and director of Lander's choral activities. He has put together what he described as "a fun program" to be performed by The University Singers and The Old Main Singers under his direction with the piano accompaniment of Amy Blackwood, Lander's staff accompanist.
Neufeld said, in choosing selections for the program, he was looking at a wide range of choral music that uses words or sounds that mean nothing. "All music uses some sort of nonsense or silly words or sounds." He pointed out scat singing in jazz where a vocalist improvises using nonsense syllables to mimic the sounds of musical instruments.
But he explained that most of the selections he chose represent serious music. For example, The University Singers will perform "Totus Tuus" written by Henryk Mikolaj Górecki to celebrate the third pilgrimage of Pope John Paul II to his native Poland. It was first performed June 14, 1987, at a High Mass celebrated by the Pope in Victory Square, Warsaw.
Other music in the program will include the overture to "The Barber of Seville," by Rossini; gospel selections by Moses Hogan and Byron Smith; the Hoagy Carmichael classic "Georgia on My Mind," and more.
Neufeld said the concert is in tune with his habit of selecting a unique theme when putting together a choral presentation.
The University Singers is the larger of the two groups, with 40 members, while The Old Main Singers has 25 members. Students in both groups represent a mix of Lander music majors and nonmusic majors.
The concert is free and open to the public but donations to Lander's scholarship fund will be accepted.

A River Runs Through It
Chronicling the Currents of the North Atlantic
In the northwestern Atlantic Ocean, along the edge of the U.S.
continental shelf, some of the most important currents in the world are
flowing. You can't always see them from the deck of a ship and you
don't really notice the flow, except for the occasional mat of Sargassum drifting by.
But WHOI Senior Scientist John Toole can see the rivers of water flowing through the ocean. What Toole and his colleagues observe from these vast and deep currents may confirm or change what we know about how the oceans influence global climate.
Their vision is made keen by an instrument Toole has been developing in his mind, his laboratory, and at sea for more than a decade: the moored vertical profiler. The profiler crawls up and down a steel cable anchored to the seafloor and held vertically by floats. It rises to just below the surface and slides back down to the depths (see illustration to the right). Sensors on the profiler continuously measure the temperature, salt content (salinity), and velocity of water, and then store the data in computer memory.
Ocean scientists have traditionally collected water profiles from research ships, lowering and raising instruments and sampling bottles from the deck. But ocean expeditions to any one spot in the sea are typically rare and short, preventing scientists from gathering anything more than snapshots of what is happening at a few fleeting moments in the ocean. With the advent of the autonomous moored profiler, Toole and other physical oceanographers can repeatedly sample conditions in the same vertical slice of the ocean day after day, for months to years at a time.
Collaborating with European investigators and colleagues in the WHOI
Department of Physical Oceanography, Toole has launched a program to
use moored profilers and other instruments to gather data on the
circulation system of the northwestern Atlantic. They have named the
project "Station W" in memory of Valentine Worthington, a pioneering
WHOI physical oceanographer and a student of the deepwater currents of
the North Atlantic.
The Station W program began in October 2001 with the placement of a mooring in 3000 meters (9800 feet) of water, 320 kilometers (200 miles) southeast of Cape Cod at 69â°W longitude. It was the first element of an array of five moorings that will stretch 150 km (93 miles) toward Bermuda. The line of moorings will span the continental slope north of the Gulf Stream, the powerful surface current that brings warm, salty waters all the way to Greenland and Northern Europe. It will straddle the other great current system of the western Atlantic, the Deep Western Boundary Current (DWBC), which acts as a pipeline transporting cold Arctic and North Atlantic waters southward These currents are crucial to the circulation of the Atlantic Ocean, which plays a key role in regulating global climate.
"It is difficult to imagine many sites of greater oceanographic and climatic significance," said Robert Dickson, head of Deep Sea Physical Oceanography at the Centre for Environment, Fisheries, and Aquaculture Science in the United Kingdom.
As Goes the Gulf Stream, So Goes the Climate
In 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Jules Verne wrote: "We then went with the current of the sea's greatest river, which has its own banks, fish, and temperature. I mean the Gulf Streamâ...we must pray that this steadiness continues becauseâ...if its speed and direction were to change, the climates of Europe would undergo disturbances whose consequences are incalculable."
Verne and scientists of the day didn't have much data, but they were aware of just how much the Gulf Stream meant to nations bordering the North Atlantic. What they guessed then, we can prove now. The Gulf Stream brings warm, salty water from the tropics to the high-latitude North Atlantic. As that water moves north, it gives up heat and some moisture to the atmosphere, making climates in Europe much warmer and moister than one would expect for a landmass at such high latitude.
The process leaves behind cool, salty water that is denser than surface waters. In the seas that ring the northern Atlanticthe Labrador, Irminger, and Greenland seasthis dense water sinks to the depths and flows southward. These conduits of cold, deep waters converge into the Deep Western Boundary Current, which flows adjacent to and sometimes beneath the Gulf Stream. This sinking and southward flow draws more warm water north to replace it, and contributes to a worldwide circulation pattern known as the Global Thermohaline Circulation, or the "Great Ocean Conveyor."
As the world debates global warming and what to do about it, oceanographers are looking for telltale signs that Earth is already changing. Most projections of climate change anticipate a weakening of the circulation in the North Atlantic. Essentially, as greenhouse gases warm the atmosphere, they will cap the Arctic and subarctic seas with additional fresh water from melting ice and increased precipitation. Dickson and others theorize that a blanket of fresh water on top of the high-latitude ocean could slow the sinking of dense, salty waters, thereby slowing the ocean conveyor and altering climate patterns.
"The North Atlantic ocean circulation is a critical component influencing the climate of the Northern Hemisphere," Toole said. "But the ocean's precise role in climate variability remains unclear partially because of the lack of long-term records."
Station W will provide a day-by-day, season-by-season chronicle of the characteristics and intensity of currents flowing through the northwestern Atlantic. Integrating Station W data with that of other ocean observing programs will enable oceanographers to infer changes in the strength of the Gulf Stream and in the intensity and structure of the Boundary Current. It also will advance understanding of how changes in the waters of the Arctic are communicated to lower latitudes. The hope, Toole said, is that these two current systems could provide critical information for analyzing how the ocean ultimately adjusts to climate change.
With signals of global warming emerging from many scientific studies, oceanographers are looking closely to see if the cold, salty waters in the DWBC are growing fresher or warmer. "The supposition is that changes in the Arctic will be transferred south in the ocean circulation," said Dickson, who has been collaborating with Toole and WHOI Research Specialist Ruth Curry. "Station W sits at the first point at which a wide range of upstream influences come together." "If there is a change in the ocean conveyor," Curry said, "we would see it here."
Dickson and Curry have seen some intriguing and ominous signs of such a change. In 40 years of data gathering, scientists have observed a decrease in the salinity of the waters in the sub-polar North Atlantic. "The freshening of the whole water column in this great storage basin has been one of the largest changes in the modern instrumented oceanographic record," Dickson said, "and its influence has been tracked south almost as far as the Equator."
With programs such as Station W, physical oceanographers from Europe and North America are starting to build a network of floating and moored observatories that can document variations in the circulation of the Atlantic from the Arctic Circle to the Equator.
British scientists are leading an eight-year, $36-million effort known as the RAPID Climate Change Programme, which will deploy arrays of deep moorings northeast of the Station W line and along another line stretching from Florida to North Africa at 26â°N latitude. A joint European and U.S. program called the Arctic and Subarctic Ocean Flux (ASOF) Study will measure currents and water properties in the seas that connect the North Atlantic with the Arctic Ocean. The Research Council of Norway is set to fund a ten-year study of the processes that drive and transform Arctic waters. And the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans will make measurements of flow through the main passageways of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.
For their own part, Toole and colleagues were recently awarded $3.7 million from the U.S. National Science Foundation to build and deploy the four additional moorings planned for Station W. From 2004 to 2008, WHOI scientists will make two cruises per year to service the moorings, retrieve data, and make a few traditional hydrographic measurements between Woods Hole and the Sargasso Sea. The additional moorings will enable scientists to test theories on a wide range of issues relating to ocean circulation and climate. "We have a wealth of theories, every piece approved by models," Dickson said. "The need is to resolve theory, and it is precisely to meet that need that Station W was designed."
Try and Try Again
"Sometimes, bad things happen for a reason," said John Toole a few months after his Station W mooring system broke into pieces in the North Atlantic in the fall of 2002. An ambitious research program had run into a snafu, but it was trouble that Toole would eventually appreciate.
In October 2001, Toole, Senior Engineering Assistant Scott Worrilow, and a WHOI mooring team installed the first piece of the Station W line. It went off without a hitch. When Toole and Worrilow returned in October 2002 to recover the profiler and its precious data, they found what they hoped for: the instrument had operated for ten months before its batteries ran out. Data from more than 300 transects through the water column were collected at depths between 90 meters and 2950 meters (300 and 9700 feet). The profiler had traveled about 750 kilometers (465 miles) up and down the mooring cable-about the distance from Boston to Washington, DC.
On the same cruise, Toole and Worrilow deployed a replacement mooring, a prototype "telemetering" profiler that could relay data back to shore once a day via satellite. On October 18, 2002, the new mooring was lowered from R/V Oceanus into the Atlantic, its surface buoy bobbing and flashing its beacon at the crew.
By Friday, November 9, Worrilow began receiving bizarre readings from the ARGOS satellite system used to track the subsurface buoy. It suggested that the buoy had surfaced. But ARGOS has been known to give erroneous readings from time to time, so Worrilow and colleagues went home for the weekend expecting to find normal readings again on Monday. When Worrilow came in on November 12, the ARGOS signal persisted. Senior Research Specialist Dan Frye examined ARGOS data from the surface buoy and discovered that it, too, was driftingâ...and not in the same direction. The mooring had broken.
By November 14, Senior Engineering Assistant John Kemp had chartered a local fishing vesselthe Morue, operated by Matt Stommel, son of famed oceanographer Henry Stommelto find and recover the mooring. In stormy seas, they searched through the night and recovered the surface buoy and tether, but nothing else. The next morning, Kemp located the remaining components (now lying on the seafloor), fired the acoustic releases, and waited for the backup flotation to rise to the surface. Watching on the Morue's echosounder, Kemp saw the glass ball floats rise to 800 feet depth, then stop. The mooring had apparently snagged on the bottom. Lacking proper equipment and cooperative seas, Kemp and Stommel headed home.
On November 20, Worrilow and Stommel went back to sea with trawling gear and other equipment. They used the echosounder to locate the remains of the mooring, which was still on station. They dragged the fishing gear through the water, and snagged their high-tech catch on the first pass. Nearly all the components were recovered in reusable condition, except for the subsurface mooring sphere and its ARGOS transmitter, which had drifted out of range.
Analyzing the recovered mooring pieces, the team found that a stainless steel tension rod connecting the subsurface components to the surface buoy had broken under the stress of swift Gulf Stream currents. That design flaw, however, turned out to be a savior for Toole. After the recovery, he discovered that the profiler itself was not working. The mooring break prevented what might have been a more heartbreaking outcome: recovering the mooring a year later to find that no data had been collected.
"The mooring break is a reminder of the inherent risks associated with ocean-observing systems," Toole said. "In our efforts to acquire continuous, high-quality observations, we push the limits of technology. The successful recovery of the major components is a testament to WHOI's rapid response capability and to the ingenuity of the engineers and crewmembers."
"Now we've got to do more engineering homework on how to make the subsurface-to-surface data connection work," said Worrilow, who has placed more than 500 moorings and 15 moored profilers in his career.
Until then, the Station W program will continue in its less sophisticated but more reliable configuration. A replacement, subsurface mooring with a new profiler was redeployed at Station W on June 3, 2003, from R/V Connecticut. Toole and Worrilow will next head to sea in April 2004 to deploy the full five-element array and to begin collecting the climate signals carried by the great currents of the North Atlantic. z
Station W was made possible through the support of The G. Unger Vetlesen Foundation, the WHOI Ocean and Climate Change Institute, and the National Science Foundation.

Emotional Freedom Technique, is a universal healing tool that can provide impressive results for physical, emotional, and performance issues. EFT operates on the premise that no matter what part of your life needs improvement, there are unresolved emotional issues in the way. Even for physical issues, chronic pain, or diagnosed conditions, it is common knowledge that any kind of emotional stress can impede the natural healing potential of the human body.
In many cases, EFT can be applied directly to physical symptoms for relief without exploring any emotional contributors. However, for the most powerful, longest lasting results with EFT, we do expect to identify and target related emotional issues.
The EFT premise also includes the understanding that the more unresolved emotional issues you can clear, the more peace and emotional freedom you will have in your life. Limiting beliefs can vanish, personal performance can soar, relationships can thrive, and vibrant physical health can be yours. If we?re being realistic, everyone on this planet has at least a few emotional issues holding them back from pure, limitless happiness.

Under CommonSpot's Static Content Generation model, pages of this type, with no other dynamic components, are generated as HTML at publish time and copied to a static subdirectory which mirrors the structure of the dynamic server. These static files are then served from one or more HTTP servers without the need for ColdFusion, reducing cost and increasing performance.
Mouseover to view larger
The typically smaller portion of the site that requires dynamic content (search results, pages with personalized content, pages requiring authentication, or pages with embedded, non-static custom scripts) are handled through a dynamic CommonSpot server.
Configuring a root-level site for static content requires a distinct server (either physical or virtual) for static content, and another for dynamic content. For example, the PaperThin site uses www.paperthin.com for dynamic content and www1.paperthin.com for static content.

Kim Kardashian just never stops, does she? The ultimate famewhore, who really defines the term with her desperateness, is now trying to nab a slew of A-List friends thanks to her fauxlationship with megastar Kanye West.
The NY Daily News is reporting that Kim is desperate to get on Beyoncé's good side. Kim flew to London yesterday to accompany Kanye during his concert with Jay-Z. And Kim's motivation for the five-day trip has nothing to do with being a supportive girlfriend! "Kim wants to travel everywhere with Kanye, but she's also trying to do whatever she can to get close to Beyoncé," a source reveals. "So, if Bey and Jay are going, she's going."
Kim would "live and breathe to hang out with Beyoncé," the insider continues. Sadly for Kim, Beyoncé continues to have no interest in a relationship with the reality hoegul – and neither do the rest of Kanye's A-lister friends. Poor Kim was even, allegedly, banned from the recent Met Costume Institute Gala because Anna Wintour didn't want her ilk infiltrating the classy event.

Alfred P. Sloan was elected President of General Motors in 1923 and led the company to phenomenal success for 23 years. Flint, Michigan was famous for making carriages long before it became known for automobiles. The Alfred P. Sloan Museum located at 1221 E. Kearsley Street is part of the Flint Cultural Center dedicated to preserving automotive history.
Before World War II, the motorcycle was used because of its practicality as a form of transportation. The "Rides and Rebels," exhibit runs until July 2008, is a tribute to the motorcyclist who has become the symbol of individual freedom and discovery.
This exhibit shows that there is more to the motorcycle lifestyle than the image presented by the film "Rebel Without a Cause." Bikers are responsible and creative individuals who value the environment: motorcycles use far less gasoline and produce fewer pollutants than cars.
The display features 60 motorcycles on loan from Michigan riders, famous racers, including a section called "My First Bike" featuring a Tiger Triumph named "Tea Time" restored by local leather artist Bob "Leatherman" Katrinic, that's adorned with silver spoons, teapots, teacups and crystals from chandeliers. There is also artwork, photographs and a lot of leather jackets.

The first day was all about the history and pedigree of the Chevy small block. Today, we experienced how the small block is being used nowadays and a firsthand account of cruising on Woodward. We started the day at the birthplace of ZO6, ZR1, and Grandsport Corvette motors. Then, we cruised Woodward in the Chevy parade and ended the day by sampling applications of the small block in both Chevy cars and others.
The GM Performance Center is where traditional craftsmanship and modern attention to detail meet to create some of the highest performing motors on the planet. Here, every 430hp Grand Sport motor, 505hp Z06 motor and 638hp ZR1 motor take shape. Each motor is built completely by hand and signed by the technician that builds it.
To ensure correct specifications, advanced torque wrenches are used to give the builder a guide when each individual fastener is bolted to the motor. In fact, each bolt's torque is registered in a massive database for each engine to ensure quality even after the engine leaves the factory. No other facilities offer this level of attention to detail, not even many of Mercedes' AMG engines.
Not only is every motor built by hand, but if you partake in the Build Your Own program, the hands that build your Z06, ZRI or Grandsport motor could be your own. For $5800, you can visit the performance center, and with the help of a qualified GM engine builder, build your own motor. At the end of the process, your own name will appear on your engine's build plate.

Publisher's Summary
Living together in Cambridge in 1989, David Foster Wallace and longtime friend Mark Costello discovered that they shared "an uncomfortable, somewhat furtive, and distinctively white enthusiasm for a certain music called rap/hip-hop." The book they wrote together, set against the legendary Boston music scene, mapped the bipolarities of rap and pop, rebellion and acceptance, glitz and gangsterdom. Signifying Rappers issued a fan's challenge to the giants of rock writing, Greil Marcus, Robert Palmer, and Lester Bangs: Could the new street beats of 1989 set us free, as rock had always promised?
Available again at last, Signifying Rappers is a rare record of a city and a summer by two great thinkers, writers, and friends. With a new foreword by Mark Costello on his experience writing with David Foster Wallace, this reissue cannot be missed.

My relationship with RAP started out a little funky. I remember hearing Ice-T's "Girls, L.G.B.N.A.F." on a 9th-grade biology trip to Southern Utah. Sony Walkman shared in the back of the bird bus. A bunch of white, prep-school kids from subburban Utah with no tangible idea what the ghetto, urban or underpriviliged was like experimenting with early RAP excess to pubescent abandon.
Fast-forward a year: I'm living in Izmir, Turkey, getting a letter mailed 1/2 around the world from a friend and girl referencing said trip with L.G.B.N.A.F. stamped all throughout. Letter is discovered and read by Father. Father demands to know what L.G.B.N.A.F. means. There is no way in HELL to explain to Father, while driving in Asia Minor, what that ICE-T song meant in Moab or what it means in the here and now. The result of this failed explanation is I can never hear Journey's Greatest Hits (the abumn I was listening to in the car as my father was interrogating me) without thinking of Ice-T (strange mental ebbs and flows). Now fast-forward two decades: watching my wife watch Ice-T on Law & Order: SVU. It is all just a little trippy -- weird convergences of RAP, Journey, Turkey, and crap television all fighting for meaning in my memory. The world IS indeed a DFW essay.
But, like my diet Dr Pepper left outside overnight or a green pear eaten too soon, this book hints at (DFW's) later genius without quite delivering the thing you want. It over-promises and under-delivers on the what, why, and wherefores of RAP. It is almost exactly what you would expect an overwritten book about rap put together by a young, tired genius who hasn't yet found his literary voice/mojo and his college roommate to be like.
The weirdest, and most ironic part of the whole audiobook experience was the end when the narrator, on behalf of Hachette Audio, declares that "no part of the audio recording can be reproduced, copied, used, etc. without prior permission from yadda yadda" A funky ending to a book on an art form of theft, samples, and reproduction. David Foster Wallace would have loved the irony, would have stolen the warning, and would have riffed and rapped about it in a follow-up essay.
Anyway, it was genius in parts, smug in parts, dated in many many sections, angry and alienated through-out, and still -- despite all its flaws -- it moved me and was worth the money. And, as Lil Wayne never gets tired of telling me "only money make me move".

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Florida man described by federal prosecutors as a "one-man black market in prehistoric fossils" pleaded guilty on Thursday to smuggling dinosaur skeletons into the United States.
Eric Prokopi was accused of importing and selling stolen artifacts including a nearly complete Tyrannosaurus Bataar skeleton and skeletons of a duckbilled Saurolophus Angustirostris from Mongolia and a flying Oviraptor from China, according to the office of U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara in Manhattan.
The 70-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus Bataar skeleton, a cousin of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, became the subject of an international custody battle when the U.S. government seized it after it was sold in May for $1.05 million in a sale conducted by Heritage Auctions in Manhattan.
The seizure and charges against Prokopi stemmed from Mongolia's claim that the skeleton had been stolen from the Gobi Desert and should be returned. Mongolia is rich in dinosaur fossils and forbids their removal for private gain.
Prokopi, 38, of Gainesville, Florida, pleaded guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge Ronald Ellis in Manhattan to conspiracy, entry of goods by means of false statements, and the interstate and foreign transportation of goods taken by fraud.
He faces up to 10 years in prison on the last and most serious count, as well as possible fines, and is scheduled to be sentenced on April 25. Prokopi also agreed to forfeit several skeletons and other fossils.
Lawyers for Prokopi were not immediately available to comment.
Prokopi was a commercial paleontologist who bought and sold whole and partial fossilized dinosaur skeletons.
Prosecutors said that between 2010 and 2012, he acquired dinosaur fossils from foreign countries and illegally brought them into the United States, misrepresenting the contents of shipments on customs forms.
"Fossils and ancient skeletal remains are part of the fabric of a country's natural history and cultural heritage, and black marketeers like Prokopi who illegally export and sell these wonders, steal a slice of that history," Bharara said in a statement. "We are pleased that we can now begin the process of returning these prehistoric fossils to their countries of origin."
At the time of Prokopi's arrest in October, Bharara said the investigation had "uncovered a one-man black market in prehistoric fossils."
The case is U.S. v. One Tyrannosaurus Bataar Skeleton, a/k/a Lot 49315 Listed on Page 92 of the Heritage Auctions May 20, 2012 Natural History Auction Catalog, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 12-04760.

is a clear, perfumed distillation of fresh bitter-orange blossoms. It's not that hard a product to find, actually. I think I bought this bottle either at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's, a year or two ago. You also need to make this drink in a blender, so it becomes nice a foamy from the egg whites. I used Sweet & Sour Mix, but I just might go that extra mile and make my own with fresh squeezed lemon and lime juice, next time. Now, all I need to do is recreate The Clock Garden's delicious Greek Lemon Soup and their Welsh Rarebit that they were known for. I didn't eat them together, though. That would be an interesting combo, wouldn't it?
I'm pleased to have a piece of The Clock Garden Restaurant in my recipe file again. A printable Ramos Gin Fizz recipe is at the bottom of this post, in case you'd like to try one. I think you'll love it. I really do. By making these at home, you can drink responsibly. That's a good thing.
For New Year's Day, I think my husband and I will enjoy one of these to celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary. Yes, we're still newlyweds and I'm one very lucky woman!

I liked this movie, but at the same time I was seriously hoping for more. After watching it I realize it had a lot of potential. That being said, if I didn't know about the characters or events before hand, I wouldn't have had a fucking clue as to what was going on.

WASHINGTON – Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has arrived in the United States for a White House meeting with President Obama.
Abe, who was elected in December, is seeking to reinforce the longstanding U.S.-Japan alliance at a time of high tension stoked by a Japan-China territorial dispute and a North Korean nuclear test.
He arrived at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington on Thursday. He meets Obama at the White House on Friday.
They will also discuss economic ties. The administration will be gauging Japan's intent to join a trans-Pacific trade agreement under negotiation.
Abe is a nationalist and wants to rebuild Japan's global standing, diminished by years of economic malaise.
He is the fifth Japanese prime minister during Obama's time in office.

OMG US states to ban txting + driving
'Distracted Driving Summit'
The US government wants to crack down on teens texting their BFF Jill from behind the wheel through federal action and public education.
The Department of Transportation today convened a two-day "Distracted Driving Summit," gathering lawmakers, experts, advocates, and automakers to mull plans and recommendations on the dangers of text-messaging and other forms of automobile interference.
Last year, 5,870 people in the US died and about 515,000 were injured in reported crashes involving driver distraction, according to statistics trotted out for the event. (PDF of that here) Driver distractions were involved in 16 per cent of the country's fatal crashes in 2008.
"To put it plainly, distracted driving is a menace to society," said Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood in his opening address to the summit. "Distracted driving is an epidemic and it seems to be getting worse every year."
LaHood said tomorrow he will announce actions that the department will be taken at a federal level to deal with the problem, but added that legal action alone is an ineffective way to curb careless driving behavior. "You can't legislate behavior," he said. "Taking personal responsibility is the key to this solution."
The new data points to the largest proportion of distracted drivers are those age 20 and under. Sixteen per cent of all under-20 drivers in fatal crashes were reported to have been distracted while driving, the government cites. But the problem is more widespread than inexperienced youths, said LaHood.
"Across the board, federal researchers who have directly observed drivers of all ages found that more and more people are using a variety of hand-held devices while driving," he said. "Not just cell phones, but also iPods, video games, BlackBerrys, and so fourth. They're doing it every day of the week, in the rain, and with kids in the car. And we know this problem isn't limited to private citizens. Incredibly, bus drivers, train operators, truck drivers, and even school bus drivers have allowed distractions to interfere with their work."
LaHood evoked the case of a California commuter train engineer who allegedly missed a red signal because he was busy texting a friend, killing 25 and injuring 135.
Like most seatbelt laws in the US, distracted driving legislation is left to individual states to decide. Eighteen states and the District of Columbia have passed laws making texting while driving illegal, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and 9 states ban young drivers from texting while driving. But some lawmakers want to strong-arm all 50 states into similar laws.
Democrat Charles Schumer is championing legislation that would require states to ban texting or e-mail while driving a motor vehicle or lose 25 per cent of their annual federal highway funding. (By the way, that's how the US enforced a 55 mph (90 km/h) national speed limit from 1974 to 1995.)
"We need every state to put safety first," Schumer told the summit. ®
