Jabari Parker was the best player on the floor with Rodney Hood close behind. And that's the extent to which we will talk about Duke in this column. We don't need to discuss their strengths or weaknesses, the makeup of their roster, or the Hall of Fame coach at their helm.
Because when vying for a championship, when the sights are set on AT&T Stadium in Dallas for a Monday night showdown, it doesn't always matter who the best player is. Games are won by the collective effort of those dressed alike and what Arizona proved to us during their time in New York City was that their collective is going to be better than any individual. And could very well be better than any team.
Again, this isn't about Duke because Arizona beat them without needing a perfect game. Sure they leaned on some moments but when push came to shove – and it always does – Arizona was the better team. When it came to a 19-point deficit against a hotter-than-a-Dragon's-breath Drexel team, the Wildcats responded. Not with the efforts of one, but with anyone wearing a white jersey. Aaron Gordon had this to say to ESPN's Andy Katz following the win:
"I'm the glue guy on a team that has talent," Gordon said. "You can stick me in the middle of all these pieces and we have all the potential in the world."
That's coming from the rumored star. The prodigal one-and-done who's declaring that his curtails won't be rode to Dallas but that you've gotta mess with the whole damn lot of them.
Let's roll things back 12-months with Billy Donovan's Gators were headed to Tucson. It was a colossal game – particularly within the context of Arizona's recent basketball history – that the Wildcats would win. But did it really feel monumental? Could you revisit that game, talk about it with a friend and think, "Wow, this Arizona team has got it." Please don't get me wrong here, I enjoyed watching that game as much as the next guy. My neighbors could hear the screams through the walls. But we couldn't walk away sensing that Arizona was necessarily better than Florida – or anyone else for that matter. Frankly, the Gators outplayed the Wildcats for everything but the critical moments. The national dialogue – despite Arizona eventually running out to a 14-0 record with that nice RPI win – became such that the Wildcats were a good team who'd won a few ball games and would come back down to earth. That Florida perhaps dribbled one too many balls off their feet and Arizona hadn't necessarily beat the Gators so much as outlasted them. There was a feeling of overachievement.
After defeating Duke, things feel different.
As the game was closing down to it's final moments, with things slipping away from the Blue Devils and Arizona playing to its strengths, time seemed to slow as Kaleb Tarczewski set a nonchalant screen into the back of an unsuspecting Blue Devil. You could see the play developing from Tucson as TJ McConnell lofted the ball to the far side of the rim from 30 feet away. Rising to put the ball through the hoop was Aaron Gordon who emphatically did so. It was the Wildcats 17th assist on their 22nd made basket.
It wasn't Mark Lyons off balance or Solomon Hill with a late steal. It wasn't Brendan Lavender for 18 or a Derrick Williams block. It was an executed team play – repeatable and effective – for the Arizona win.
Tell me, how does that feel?
And this:
OSU fans are busy getting ready for tomorrow, right? They're off Twitter? Good. In that case: I…I like McConnell…gulp…more than Craft.

Grotto Vole
Grooms face, sniffs air, and wanders around.
Vocalizations (on-click and while moving)
Can be found in caves in Mount Hyjal.
The Hyal Barrow Dens were amazing. I got several rare Grotto Voles in a short time. The amazing thing about it was that almost 3/4 of the time multiple rares would show up as secondaries. :)
After awhile I began using the place to level some pets. The respawn rate is very high in there. A rare Silky Moth showed up as a secondary in one battle and tore my levelling team to bits. :)
***Hyjal Burrow Dens*** There is a grotto for the grotto voles; entrance is over the hill from big tree. Grotto Vole as main pet appear :)
While I did see a lot of these as secondary pets around Nordassil (I spent about 2-3 hours there powering leveling some little pets), I caught a rare after only 10 battles in the Hyjal Barrow Den, at the bottom of the path near the water.
If you want to capture one of these, without waiting for it to show up as a secondary spawn, the best place is the Higal Barrow Dens (59.42, 17.32) (West of Nordrassil) there were 4 inside when I checked (all common quality) and a few obsidium nodes too if you are a miner.
Just found 2 rare in the Dens in about a 5 min time frame. I got one in the first spawned group. I battled them all and decided to see what other rares I could get in the area after reading the posts here. In the second group of spawns I found another rare Grotto Vole. The one I captured was breed S/S, the second was H/B.
Update: Found another about a min after I posted this. I guess in this case, "rares" are pretty common.
Another update: Got a rare Carrion Rat here too!
Just captured a rare inside the Hyjal Barrow Dens. It was accompanied by a Fire Beetle and an Elfin Rabbit. Good luck!
Just got a common vole as secondary to a Fire Beetle in Ascendant's Rise on Ysera at 9:32 am, Friday
Just noticed that it's not included i the Kalimdor Safari. Any ideas why?
Like many have said go in the barrow dens. I noticed 8 spawn points all in the dens and they respawned rapid enough that I could many continuous laps back and forth til I got my rares. Always Grotto Vole as a primary. I also killed any critters (especially grotto voles) on my routes to help respawns. Took less than an hour to get my rare. Saw quite a few Uncommon Voles and got a rare Carrion Rat as a second.
Just for the record, they can spawn as a secondary to a Fire Beetle. After reading that they couldn't, I just had a uncommon as second to a Fire Beetle.
Found several in the barrow dens. To get in the dens, enter through the white stone arch on the Verdant Thicket side.
I wonder if that's new with patch. Because I also found a lot in the Barrow Dens (4+) including a green one. So yes, they do spawn as primaries as they others have said.
Ditto what Serephem confirmed. Many in the Burrow Dens (the place that you escort the prisoner through the Emrald Dream if you lack where it is like I did).
Many spawned and kept spawning when I hit them up at 7am server time. So far only poor and common.
I can confirm the comment below, I found 4 spawns in the Barrow's Den at 2.30 am server time. The respawn rate was pretty quick too. I did notice however that the paws did NOT appear for me until I went into the den, so it may be that people have just missed them.
Found 4 today in the Hyjal Barrow Dens, entrance to the cave just east of Ruins of Lar'donir (where you first meet Alysra). You can see "underground" green paw icons from the northwest side of Nordrassil.
The Vole does Spawn as a secondary with the Fire Bettle primary.
Always nice to see people linking, thier wowprogress on the comment section for a pet, wow.
Found an uncommon one as an add to a fire beetle in the Regrowth.
Thank you for the helpful tips on how to get this. I can verify that it is not in any caves and does not show on tracking. I was lucky and got one as a secondary as a result of your comments.
There are adds (second) to the following Pets that I found while rare farming these: Fire-Proof Roachs, Ash Lizards, Rock Vipers, Silky Moth, Nordrassil Wisp, Alphine Chipmunk, Death's Head Cockroach, Twilight Beetle and Elfin Rabbits.
These do NOT spawn with the Fire Bettles, if you see that name first and looking for a Grotto Vole you are wasting your time!
I finally found rare Grotto Vole off a Twilight Bettle at 27, 32 (Shrine of Goldrinn).
After spendig a few hours in Hyjal battleing everything I found, this one only showed up as a secondary when fighting Nordrasill Wisps.
Got this one at the Seat Of The Chosen as a secondary pet to Carrion Rat.

Black Abolitionist Papers on Trial
Local book author and Philadelphia Inquirer journalist Dan Biddle teaches a course on 19th century civil rights in the Honors Program this fall. His students are using a range of primary sources from the library's collection. Although much is available online, some primary sources remain hidden away on microfilm reels. The Black Abolitionist Papers and the Papers of the Pennsylvania Abolitionist Society are a case in point. For a limited time students and faculty have access to the online version of the Black Abolitionist Papers until the trial ends on October 14. The online collection includes over 15,000 items which can be browsed by document type, name, source, location and date. It covers the period 1830-1865 and contains the correspondence of major African American leaders, selected speeches, lectures and sermons, as well as articles from more than 200 newspapers. Interested faculty and students are strongly encouraged to review the online version and send their feedback to Jutta Seibert. The library will endeavor to add the Black Abolitionist Papers to its permanent collection if there is enough interest.
Biddle's students will also be working with the African American Newspapers collection, the African American Studies Center and the American Periodicals Series to name but a few of the many digital collections available at Falvey. Find more resources related to 19th century civil rights with the help of the library research guide Discovering 19th Century Civil Rights. Many of you will remember Dan Biddle from the 2011 Black History Month Lecture at Falvey. He and his co-author Murray Dubin discussed their book Tasting Freedom: Octavius Catto and the Battle for Equality in Civil War America.

Under the cobblestones...
So it was true... There is a beach underneath the cobblestones of Paris! Explanation: during the student riots in May 68, several slogans were used by demonstrators (check them here - go to the Slogans and Graffiti topic in the middle of the page). A very famous one - that we still remember today was "under the cobblestones, there is a beach" (sous les pavés la plage). So you can imagine that when I saw this scene this morning near the Gare du nord, I immediately thought of this slogan and jumped on my camera ;-) I'm sure my French visitors will smile when they see it.

I did smile Eric, thanks=)ReplyDelete
When I stumbled upon your latest picture I said to myself "Sous les pavets la plage" and then I read your title.
Great post!
How come to guy is just wearing a t-shirt? Isn't it cold in Paris?
Nice shot, Eric. (And since his pants don't quite fit, it's good that his underwear does!) Je suis une soixante-huitarde and I remember it well. I also liked the slogan "La barricade ferme la rue mais ouvre la voie." (made me think of Les Miserables.)ReplyDelete

LOL, Alexa! And his skivvies are fashionably black.ReplyDelete
Chloe: the last few days have been pretty comfortable in Paris especially when the sun is shining bright. Although I see temps back home are in the 90's!
And Cali, we KNOW you had to enlarge this photo to be looking at his underwear. I didn't know this expression Eric, so thanks for the history lesson, again!ReplyDelete
- from caliNovember 5, 2010 at 8:09:00 AM GMT+1
I did enlarge it, Michael! Thanks to Alexa's tip. ;-)ReplyDelete
@Chloe "How come to guy is just wearing a t-shirt? Isn't it cold in Paris?" Nooo. It's super "warm" in Paris at the moment. Quite unusual for the beginning of November. But it's not going to last ;-( Tomorrow will be colder and Sunday COLD!ReplyDelete
Ahhh les trottoirs de Paris! ;) '68...Still in HS in the US it was a Global Struggle we saw; Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy assassinated, Global student unrest, the Paris revolt. I wasn't there of course but I have heard the slogan quite often....Memories now, though the sixties and seventies sometimes feel like yesterday.ReplyDelete
Ahh, I really enjoyed reading all those slogans from 1968 - I didn't know any of them except the one you're alluding to. Did you see the hoardings around some works in the streets of Paris a while back, where they used the slogan "Sous les pavés, le gaz", or something like that. I've got a photo of it somewhere.ReplyDelete
Wonderful. I bought a pendant from the Art Market in the Bastille and the artist adds different phrases to a brightly coloured back ground . Sous les pavés is the one I chose and it always attracts interest when I wear it .ReplyDelete
@Sab "Did you see the hoardings around some works in the streets of Paris a while back, where they used the slogan "Sous les pavés, le gaz", or something like that." No I did not. I was very busy during the recent demonstrations so I missed a few things I'm afraid...ReplyDelete
Under human constructions there is Nature calling for a breathe. May of '68 was a year to remember always.ReplyDelete
[Barcelona Daily Photo]
I love streets made of cobblestone, even if there is a beach under them.ReplyDelete
Thank you for this picture! I am fascinated by the paving stones of Paris and in fact was thinking quite a lot about them just yesterday, believe it or not. Something about the thought of those workmen so many hundreds of years ago (and today!) working so hard for the benefit of people they'll never know or see. I believe the paving stones are my mind's symbol of Paris!ReplyDelete
Eric's new B&W calendar is now online HERE!ReplyDelete
It is an interesting historical reference, but since I wasn't even a twinkle in my parents' eyes, (in fact, they hadn't even married yet!) I'll have to trust you. I do love the pattern that he is putting into the cobblestones, looks like the waves of a beach!ReplyDelete
The calendars are Awesome!!!....gonna get a couple of both!! Merci ET et Michael!!! Ouaisssss!ReplyDelete

WACO, Texas – Cory Jefferson scored 25 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and made the tiebreaking free throws with 50 seconds left in overtime as Baylor opened Big 12 Conference play with an 86-79 victory over Texas on Saturday.
Pierre Jackson added 24 points for the Bears (9-4). Jefferson and Jackson combined to score all but one of Baylor's 18 points in overtime. Jackson had 11 of them, including nine free throws.
Javan Felix had 26 points and nine assists for Texas (8-6), and Sheldon McClellan scored 21 points.
The Bears were without coach Scott Drew, who served the first game of a school-imposed two-game suspension from Big 12 games. The suspension was announced in April, after an investigation revealed hundreds of impermissible telephone calls and text messages to recruits.

Where You Live
Choose your region or state from the map below or scroll down to find information about regional and state scrap tire programs. Also consult EPAs Quick Reference Guide to State Scrap Tire Programs (PDF) (53 pp, 262K, about PDF) which summarizes state scrap tire regulations and programs.
Note: If there is an Exit EPA sign after a state name below, then the link will take you directly to a page related to scrap tires. If there is no Exit EPA sign, then the link will take you to a site with links to state pages pertaining to waste management, solid waste, or municipal solid waste.
Region 1
The states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island have all enacted legislation specific to scrap tires. Although Vermont has no legislation specific to tires, the state is actively working to find innovative uses for scrap tires (including riverbank and slope stabilization, septic systems, and lightweight fill projects) and addresses scrap tire management as part of other environmental legislation. The state of Maine established an aggressive stockpile abatement program in 1996, and since then, have removed over seven million tires from stockpiles and directed them to beneficial uses.
Region 2
Both New Jersey and New York are working to expand markets for scrap tires. In New York, representatives from the scrap tire industry, scrap tire end users, and others formed a roundtable group to develop both short- and long-term market development programs. The NJ DOT has conducted several demonstration projects that utilize various mixes of rubber-modified asphalt. Other innovative uses being explored by the state of New Jersey include artificial reef development and a process similar to pyrolysis.
Region 3
The states of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia have strong scrap tire management programs. In West Virginia, the state DOT administers the Scrap Tire Cleanup Fund which comes from a $5 fee on all new automobile registrations. Delaware has no scrap tire legislation, however, tires are being managed as either a solid waste or recyclable material under existing solid waste regulations.
Region 4
Many of the states in Region 4 are actively implementing innovative uses for scrap tires. The state of Florida has been a leader in the use of asphalt rubber for use in highway pavement. Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina allow tire shreds to be used in construction of drain fields for septic systems. Kentucky has used tires funds for market development including expanded use of tire derived fuel. In Tennessee, each county receives $70 per ton for waste tires collected and sent to beneficial end use through the states Waste Tire Grant Fund. And both Mississippi and North Carolina administer funds to improve the use of recycled products, including tires.
Region 5
The states in Region 5 are actively addressing scrap tire management. Minnesota was the first state to pass laws addressing the management of scrap tires in 1985. Wisconsin was also an early leader in scrap tire management and disposal. The Illinois EPA established a Used Tire Program that funds over 100 waste tire cleanups throughout the state each year. Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio have all developed scrap tire market development programs and financial incentives for products made from recycled scrap tires.
Region 6
EPA Region 6 is aggressively working with the states to address illegal dumping of tires along the US/Mexico border in Texas and New Mexico. Both Arkansas and Louisiana provide financial incentives to reuse or recycle scrap tires. Oklahoma is finding new, innovative uses for scrap tires including the use of tires in riverbank stabilization projects.
Region 7
The states in Region 7 all ban whole tires from disposal in landfills and have enacted rules and regulations to ensure the proper management of scrap tires. Iowas Waste Tire End Users Incentives Program provides up to $10 per ton to end users of processed waste tire products to increase end uses/markets for processed waste tire materials including the purchase of tire derived fuel, crumb rubber, or shredded tires for civil engineering uses. Nebraska and Missouri also provide grants to users of scrap tires and tire derived products. The state of Kansas provides funds for the development of waste tire recycling markets.
Region 8
The states in Region 8 have all enacted scrap tire management programs to ensure the proper management of waste tires through collection, transportation, storage, and/or processing of scrap tires. Utah and Colorado also provide end user incentives and market incentives, while the state of Montana provides tax credits for the procurement of recycled products. South Dakota provides funding for recycling end uses, including tire derived fuel programs. And, the South Dakota DOT is developing civil engineering applications for shredded tires.
Region 9
California and Arizona use the most asphalt rubber in highway construction (over 80% of asphalt rubber utilized). Both Hawaii and Nevada provide financial incentives to state agencies for purchasing products made with recycled materials, including retread tires.
Region 10
The states in Region 10 have enacted regulations designed to prevent problematic storage and disposal of tires. Oregon and Washington have established disposal laws that regulate how tires are collected and stored. Oregons regulations are also designed to encourage alternatives to disposal. In 2003, Idaho strengthened its Waste Tire Act by adding new provisions to allow the state, counties, and cities to regulate waste tire storage and disposal sites, and find additional methods for recycling/reusing tires. Alaska has no scrap tire legislation, however, the Alaskan DOT was the first in the US to field test rubberized asphalt.

The State of the Dead
Part 1 – The Breath is the Spirit
How was man formed? (Body + breath = living soul)
Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
What is the breath? Breath is equated with the spirit of God.
Job 27:3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils.
At death the body returns to dust while the spirit is said to return to God who gave it. (Silver cord = spine, golden bowl = skull, pitcher = heart, wheel = lungs)
Ecclesiastes 12:6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
When we are born our breath, as drawn from the surrounding atmosphere, may be said to come from or be given by God and with the same propriety may it be said, when it leaves the body at death to return unto Him. At death the breath or spirit of man is said to be gathered unto God.
Job 34:14 If he set his heart upon man, if he [God] gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
Christ understood that his spirit would return to God at death.
Luke 23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
Once a man's spirit or breath is gone his thoughts perish.
Psalm 146:3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
The dead know nothing they are unconscious. All their thoughts and feelings are gone.
Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
Man is of so little account because his fragile life only remains while he has breath.
Isaiah 2:22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?
Man has no pre-eminence over animals. We all die the same. It cannot be proved whether the spirit goes up or downward. The pagan belief was that the spirit of man goes up and the spirit of animals goes down but Solomon says we have the same spirit as the animals and it can't be proved where the spirit goes at death.
Ecclesiastes 3:19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
The breath of life is the spirit which God has given both man and beast. It is common to all living things and is not a distinguishing characteristic of man. The dead cannot praise God.
Psalms 30:9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
The dead cannot give thanks to God.
Psalms 6:5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
The dead are silent, they do not praise God.
Psalms 115:17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
But God can reverse the death process by creating new bodies and renewing the spirit or breath in them.
Psalms 104:29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
Part 2 – The Unconscious State of the Dead
Death is compared to sleep so there must be some analogy between a state of sleep and a state of death, and this analogy must pertain to that which renders sleep a peculiar condition. Our condition in sleep differs from our condition when awake simply in this, that when we are soundly asleep, we are entirely unconscious. In this respect death is like sleep; that is, the dead are unconscious. This figure is frequently used to represent the condition of the dead.
Daniel 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Matthew 27:52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
Christ himself represented death as a sleep saying Lazarus was asleep in death. Lazarus would have remained unconscious sleeping in the grave until the resurrection had he not been raised by Christ.
John 11:11 Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
At death Stephen commended his spirit to God. His spirit being departed he fell asleep becoming unconscious.
Acts 7:59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
Christ slept in death being entirely unconscious in death.
1 Corinthians 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
When Christ died He commended His spirit into the hands of His Father and gave ghost. But Christ did not ascend to the Father as a ghost or a spirit, otherwise after His resurrection He would not have said "I am not yet ascended to my Father." Christ remained dead in the grave unconscious until He arose again.
Luke 23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost
John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father.
Job 14:10 But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
David did not ascend to heaven at death but is dead and buried.
Acts 2:29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Some of the Christians who had witnessed Christ alive after his resurrection had themselves died. They had fallen asleep in Christ. But why were they not conscious and awake in heaven if that is where Christians go when they die?
1 Corinthians 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
Part 3 – The Resurrection
Paul told the Christians in Corinth to put their hope in the resurrection of the dead and that without a resurrection their faith was in vain. Paul told them that those who were asleep in Christ would be made alive at the Second Coming of Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
Christ promised his disciples that He would come again to receive them unto Himself. Was He lying to them? Why didn't Christ say that they should come to Him instead in the form of some departed spirit?
John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Paul told the Christians in Thessalonica not to sorrow about death as others do because at the Second Coming God would bring forth from the grave those who slept in Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Job says the dead are sleeping in the grave waiting for the appointed time. Waiting for the day of resurrection when the heavens are rolled together Rev 6:14 at the Second Coming.
Job 14:10-15 But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
11 As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
12 So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
13 O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
15 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
Paul preached the resurrection of the dead and not departed spirits to those who knew nothing of the gospel.
Acts 17:18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.
Acts 17:32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter
Paul himself sought to attain to the resurrection of the dead. He did not seek to go straight to heaven.
Philippians 3:11 If by any means I [Paul] might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
1. Paul taught both the Christians in Corinth and Thessalonica that their hope was in the resurrection of the dead at the Second Coming.
2. Paul preached the resurrection of the dead to the Greek philosophers who knew nothing of the gospel.
3. Paul himself sought to attain to the resurrection of the dead.
Resurrection is God's appointed method of bringing souls back to life.

Thank you very much for this insightful expose on the subject! it was very educating. however I still need help with that text where Jesus says to the thief on the cross (Luke 23:42-43) that he would be in paradise with him on that day. Please explain that and how it tallies with our understanding of dead people not entering heaven soon after death.
Hello! I tried to explain your question the best I could, but then decided that sister White explains it best! Also remember that the punctuation in the Bible was not inspired, but was instead added by men! 😉
The Difference of One Comma
I say unto thee today, Thou shalt be with Me in Paradise. Christ did not promise that the thief should be with Him in Paradise that day. He Himself did not go that day to Paradise. He slept in the tomb, and on the morning of the resurrection He said, "I am not yet ascended to My Father." John 20:17. But on the day of the crucifixion, the day of apparent defeat and darkness, the promise was given. "Today" while dying upon the cross as a malefactor, Christ assures the poor sinner, Thou shalt be with Me in Paradise.
Your post on the State of the Dead is great; I wholeheartedly agree. Your words leaped out at me as I read your article, because it looked like it came right out of my book, "The End Times Passover (Author House)" featured in Chapter Twelve, "Heavenly Minded."
I wrote about this in 1986 and have never seen anyone write about this in all the ensuing years up to now. How comforting for me to see your work, validating and confirming my research. For a long time many people who read my book thought I was nuts for making these biblical facts, now I feel my work has been redeemed. God bless you and our God, who has given you with great wisdom to discern His word.

How to Lie With Statistics, Women and Child Care EditionPosted: August 3rd, 2012 | Author: Maha Rafi Atal | Filed under: Economics | Tags: child care, discrimination, employment, family, Gender, income, income inequality, labor, women | No Comments »
My latest post is up at Forbes, highlighting two research papers that look at the impact women's earnings and the cost of child care have on women's decisions on whether to have children and whether (or how much) to work. They are good papers, but they both make a critical error:
Both papers assume that men commit full-time to the labor force, and that the choices families are about the balance of women's working hours and caring hours. It's one of the most infuriating aspects of the work-life debates that the choice is so often framed that way. The reality is that in addition to earning potential and cost of child care, the degree to which male partners share in child care duties is a major factor driving women's career and family choices.
Leaving working fathers out of the choice equation tarnishes the studies' results, and can have a dangerous effect, if policymakers feel that the solution suggested by papers like these is to expand the choices available to women without expanding choices for men. Framing the work-life conundrum as a women's issue only makes it more likely that it will remain women's burden. The research error becomes self-fulfilling.
This case is a perfect example of the problem outlined by Darrell Huff in his classic book, How to Lie With Statistics. I'm a great advocate for inserting more data into debates about work and family, but it's equally important to be skeptical of the data presented to us. Ask not just, 'Does this data answer the question we're asking?' but also, 'Are we asking the right questions?' At the moment, I'm not convinced we are.

Despite the fact that he hasn't published a column since May 26, the KC Star said today via phone that their oversized noisemaker, Jason Whitlock, is still currently on staff. He's just on extended vacation. But, still, something's amiss.
Many media wonks thought that the lack of a Whitlock byline in the paper plus his contribution to The Big Lead napalming the newspaper industry indicated that his days with the Star were numbered. It's a reasonable assumption, I guess, considering how quiet Whitlock's been about his hometown paper on his cantankerous Twitter feed and the fact that there's no indication on the KCStar's website that Captain Oozing Pumpkin is taking an extended furlough. (Update: Yes, they do. Here.)
One thing that is noteworthy about his break is that he's rattled and annoyed at some of the local muckraking going on over at a bottomfeeder site called KC Confidential.com, which published a mock obit for Whitlock's career at The Star today . The site, a collection of current and former KC journalists, have been turning the screws extra hard to Whitlock the last couple weeks. Most likely these are the shadowy figures he's referencing in one of his recent Tweets:
Let's backtrack: A couple weeks ago, a wild story popped up on KC Confidential written by a man named Greg Hall, a former sports columnist for the Star, who attempted to torpedo Whitlock's Big Lead column about "Myth" Albom because, according to Hall, Jason Whitlock used to pay him to write his columns:
I find it ironic that Jason chooses to blast the very industry that has hidden his secret all these years. Jason paid me in a $200 personal check to write the Texas column. BTW, none of this is news to those in the know at The Star.
Here's where it gets odd: I emailed Jason about this post. A pretty innocent email, in terms of some of our previous interactions, and he did not respond. Instead his lawyer, Kirk May, did.
My firm represents Jason Whitlock and I am writing in response to your July 21, 2010 email to Mr. Whitlock. I am writing to inform you that Mr. Hall's claims are untrue and defamatory. On behalf of Mr. Whitlock, we demand that you and your organization not publish and distribute Mr. Hall's claims. If you and your organization do publish and distribute Mr. Hall's claims, then Mr. Whitlock will take appropriate legal action.
If you are aware of any information that you believe supports Mr. Hall's claims, then please share that with me.
There is nothing about Greg Hall's pretty inflammatory post that can verified. After conversing with Hall via email several times, he had no evidence to support his claims — no personal check, no copies of the original columns he punched-up, just his invisible hand to an imaginary bible in cyberspace. Plus, some of Hall's peers and former co-workers and editors I spoke with stated that Hall was the least trustworthy source of this information — a guy who's had a vendetta for years against Jason and tried to shop this Whitlock-is-a-phony story to other outlets to no avail. It was published at the The Platte County Landmark where it was then cease-and-desisted by The Kansas City Star's lawyers soon after it went up. Speaking of which, The KCStar's lawyer, Tim McNamara, also emailed me (without prior contact from me) with a strongly-worded warning about moving forward with the story about Hall's post:
Dear Mr. Daulerio—
I represent The Kansas City Star. Your e-mail directed to Mr. Jason Whitlock earlier today has been brought to my attention along with the defamatory statements of Mr. Greg Hall. Please be advised that Mr. Hall's statements are false and defamatory. Moreover, Mr. Hall has a long history of acting with actual malice toward Mr. Whitlock such that you should know that his statements are not credible. On behalf of The Star, we hereby demand that you and Deadspin.com and those acting in concert with you cease and desist from publishing any such statements by Mr. Hall regarding Mr. Whitlock and/or The Star. We hope that no further legal action will be necessary to protect the interests of Mr. Whitlock and The Star. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.
I had a couple questions. First, why on earth was there so much email legal melodrama about my pretty simple inquiry over someone else's blog post. Second — does Jason still work at the KCStar?
Mr. Daulerio—I am an attorney for The KC Star and management at The Star and Mr. Whitlock contacted me about this situation so it certainly indicates to me that Mr. Whitlock works there. Jason's personal attorney, Kirk May, contacted you before I did simply because I was out of the office when Star management and Jason first tried to reach me. I have no additional information regarding Mr. Whitlock's employment so if you have any further questions I respectfully suggest you take them up with the Star's editorial management and/or Mr. Whitlock. Thank you.
I contacted Jason again today, to get his answer about the state of his employment with his hometown paper. He (or his attorney) did not respond. But, again, according to the KC Star's sports editor, he is still employed as part of the paper. He's not on contract — he's on staff, they said. I emailed Jason the day after looking into Hall's piece and told him I was moving away from the story because the claims lacked credibility and I wasn't about to light him up based on the claims of a possibly deluded individual. However, I do find it a little surprising that Hall's story is still published on that site, since according to the flurry of attorney emails I received two weeks ago seemed to indicate that even the mere thought of writing about it would be perilous to Deadspin. Fine, but, why?

When it pays to not stay put
I worked hard and late all day Sunday and early Monday to finish up my one mandatory project, and hit the road at 2:30 p.m. Leaving California is always a chore. I basically sat in traffic for 150 miles. But once I cleared Auburn, I was free.
I will write more later but I thought I'd post a few pictures of the trip so far. I embarked on an amazing spontaneous overnight trip on the Pacific Crest Trail near Truckee, Calfornia. I started hiking from Donner Pass at 6:30 p.m., camped seven miles from the trailhead, hiked/ran nine more out to Granite Chief Wilderness and back in the morning, and then hiked back to my car for the 550-mile drive to Salt Lake City. Big day, and it's only just the beginning of this whirlwind trip. But so far, so worth it. So worth it.
Tomorrow ... Lone Peak!

HI Jill!ReplyDelete
I have been reading about your adventures for some time now and it's strange (in a fun way!) to hear you reference places I know! I live in Sacramento, and have sat in traffic to Auburn myself many times. On a different note, you have been very inspirational to me in countless ways; not many follow their muse the way you do. Keep on trucking!

By Robert Bazell
Chief science and health correspondent
NBC News
Not long ago, statins were jokingly promoted by some doctors with a "put them in the drinking water" argument. Physicians and drug company experts suggested that the ubiquitous cholesterol-lowering drugs -- including Lipitor, Mevacor, Crestor and Zocor -- should be sold over the counter like cold medications, or offered to everyone above a certain age. The medications appeared so beneficial to health and seemed so free of side effects.
But on Tuesday, the Food and Drug Administration issued a new health alert requiring the drugs carry labels warning about confusion and memory loss, elevated blood sugar leading to Type 2 diabetes, and muscle weakness.
"These warnings should put an end to the all the silliness about giving the drugs to everyone," says Dr. Garret FitzGerald, chairman of pharmacology at the University of Pennsylvania.
Warnings for diabetes, memory loss added to statins
There is no question that statins -- the most profitable and among the most prescribed drugs ever -- have saved or prolonged millions of lives and will continue to do so. Most people at elevated risk for heart disease should be taking statins. The big issue now will center on determining whose risk is low to moderate and may not need medication.
The not-so-well-kept secret is that a daily dose of statin allows millions to eat whatever fatty food they like without worrying how it affects their cholesterol levels. That's a tempting proposition. At the same time, drug companies find nothing more appealing than a pill that healthy people take daily for the rest of their lives. These two motivations combine to get million on statins who may not need them -- not much of a problem if there are no risks. But now we have evidence there is.
The FDA approved the first statin, Merck's lovastatin, in 1987. Other companies produced their own versions over the last two decades as evidence of the drugs' effectiveness continued to accumulate, adding to their popularity. But, early on, plenty of side effects warnings popped up.
Every time NBC News reported on statins I would receive many communications from viewers who had suffered the muscle-weakening condition, known as rhabdomyolysis, after taking the medication. When they stopped the drug, their muscles usually returned to normal. Doctors who frequently prescribe statins report that a certain percentage -- the best guess is about ½ to 1 percent -- suffer the muscle problems. That's a rare occurrence as side effects go, but when many millions are taking the drugs, the numbers add up.
As for elevated blood sugar and memory problems, both conditions have been reported for years, but it is harder to guess how widespread the complications are. In fact, last month, a survey of 150,000 participants in the Women's Health Initiative -- the government's gigantic study that ended most hormone replacement -- found that older women taking statins were 48 percent more likely to develop diabetes. (The researchers tried to control for obesity and other risk factors.)
Because most people who take statins tend to be older, they're already more likely to develop diabetes or memory problems. The only test to accurately measure the risk from statins would be a long, controlled trial of thousands of people at low risk for heart disease where half get the drug and half get a placebo. No drug company will pay for it.
Astra Zeneca's Crestor remains the only statin still under patent protection, and it would be foolish for that company to go looking for harmful side effects. The government's resources for big expensive studies grow ever more scarce. We may never know the true danger, but at least now the drugs have labels telling patients and doctors to be aware of them
Why did the FDA chose to label the drugs now when the danger signs have been around for years? There is no official answer, but the officials in charge of the FDA now have shown far more willingness to be honest about public health risks than many of their recent predecessors.
As for whether you or a loved one should be taking a statin drug: This is certainly not an automatic decision, but definitely a subject for a discussion with your physician. Because of the FDA's labeling actions that decision should now be far better informed.

Arizona Business Magazine January/February 2012
High Foreclosure Rate And Unemployment Make Housing Recovery Hard To Read
The Phoenix resale market slowed a bit in May when compared to April, possibly because activity spiked last month as the federal first-time home buyer program came to a close, according to Jay Butler, associate professor of real estate and author of the monthly Realty Studies Report from the W. P. Carey School of Business. And though foreclosures as a percentage of the market are continuing to decline, the actual number of foreclosures is still quite high, he said. Even hopeful signs, like the recent increases in median price, are connected to foreclosures — in this case because foreclosures on high price homes pulled the median up. So where will Phoenix be in the fall? Hard to say, according to Butler, because we've never been here before. (9:37)

Mini Longneck Dino Discovered in South America
A long-neck relative of Apatosaurus and Diplodocus has been discovered in South America, becoming the first of its kind ever found on that continent.
Discovered in rock from the Early Cretaceous Period about 140 million years ago, the new dinosaur lived later than its relatives found in Africa, Europe and North America, which hail from the Jurassic, the period before the Cretaceous. At about 30 feet (9 meters) long, the new long-neck is also a relative pipsqueak. Other dinosaurs in this group — the diplodocids — are more than 66 feet (20 m) long, said study researcher Pablo Gallina, a paleontologist at the Universidad Maimonides in Buenos Aires.
"This may be the smallest of the diplodocids," Gallina told Live Science. [Paleo-Art Gallery: Amazing Dinosaur Illustrations]
Last of the diplodocids
Gallina and his collagues excavated the fossil during three trips to Patagonia in 2010, 2012 and 2013. The fossil site is in Argentina's Neuque´n province, where the landscape is dry and scrubby, with reddish dirt hills. In the Early Cretaceous, the environment would have been semi-arid, bordering a large desert on the supercontinent of Gondwana, Gallina said.
The skeleton is fragmentary, but the researchers were able to use the shape of the animal's vertebrae to determine that it was a new species. They dubbed the dinosaur Leinkupal laticauda. In the language of the native Mapuche people of Patagonia, "lein" means "vanishing," and "kupal" means "family." The researchers chose this name because previously discovered diplodocid relatives come from the Jurassic, meaning L. laticauda may have been among the last of its line.
The second part of the dinosaur's name has meaning, as well. "Lati" comes from the Latin for "wide," and "cauda" from the Latin for "tail." The vertebrae suggest that L. laticauda had a very broad, muscular tail, which may have allowed it "remarkable control and fortitude," Gallina said.
Unique discovery
Diplodocids are famed for their long necks and long tails; the earliest discovered specimens came from the rich Jurassic fossil beds in Colorado. They had also been discovered in Africa, which led paleontologists to suspect they lived in South America as well. At the time this group of dinosaurs lived, the two continents were combined into one, called Gondwana.
Previous Patagonian fossil finds came from the upper, or Late Cretaceous, about 100 million to 66 million years ago. L. laticauda is the first dinosaur ever found in the region from the Early Cretaceous, Gallina said.
When the bones were first discovered in 2010, they looked unpromising and damaged by erosion. But the paleontologists could find no other bones to excavate, so they began the process of digging out the skeletal fragments. It wasn't until the bones were out of the ground that the researchers began to realize they had something unique on their hands, Gallina said.
The researchers report their findings today (May 14) in the open-access journal PLOS ONE.

As part of Vulture's year in culture roundup, our TV, movie, and theater critics each chose their single favorite performance from 2012. Read on for picks from Seitz, Edelstein, and Brown.
Television — Damian Lewis, Homeland
Nicholas Brody, Homeland's mysterious anti-hero, is one of TV's most complex and infuriating characters: a Marine who became a terrorist sleeper agent, then a congressman, then a double-agent, then a triple-agent, while carrying on a torrid affair with his bipolar profiler, CIA agent Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes). But what makes him so exciting is his mix of sincerity and ruthlessness. Lewis plays him so that you can't tell which of Brody's reactions are authentic and which are mercenary contrivances, and which parts of his persona, if any, are "real." He deceives Carrie, his wife (Morena Baccarin), his terrorist masters, his government handlers, the viewer, and himself, and no matter how closely you watch Lewis, he still manages to fool you. The old saw about acting being a form of lying has rarely been so brilliantly articulated.
Movies — Rachel Weisz, The Deep Blue Sea
It's hard to call an Academy Award–winning actress "undersung," yet I think we take Rachel Weisz for granted. How else to explain the swift disappearance of Terence Davies's ravishing The Deep Blue Sea with its to-die-for lead performance? As the adulterous Lady Hester Collyer, she's pale and luminous, like a Pre-Raphaelite portrait, but something wicked, unruly, modern keeps breaking through the façade. She doesn't care about the stigma of deserting her older, aristocratic husband for a disastrously unstable ex-RAF pilot. Unlike her namesake, she'll wear her scarlet A proudly. Weisz's wide-apart eyes make her seem slightly off-kilter, even otherworldly, but she's never in the ether. She's endlessly, exhaustingly reactive. She wears you out in a wonderful way.
Theater — Shuler Hensley, The Whale
So many of 2012's finest acting turns were wired into ensembles (the squabbling families of and Tribes, the combatant couples of Virginia Woolf), but Shuler Hensley—literal centerpiece of Samuel D. Hunter's stealthily surreal heart-burster The Whale—really is an island: a 600-pound isle of flesh. Inside a suffocating fat suit like his, an actor's every movement counts; it's like giving birth. Making this guy more than a stunt, and moving him beyond the merely literal, takes something approaching genius. Hensley's Charlie—an online English-composition tutor steadily eating himself to death in an Idaho edge city—is both a compendium of insatiable American emptiness and an utterly honest, entirely non-bathetic hero. That's no small thing.

Messrs. E. Hilton Jackson and Henry E. Davis for plaintiff in error.
Messrs. Frederic D. McKenney, John Spalding Flannery, and William Hitz for defendant in error.
Mr. Justice Lurton delivered the opinion of the court:
This case turns primarily upon the question of whether the supreme court of the District exceeded its jurisdic- [218 U.S. 255, 256] tion in allowing a bill of exceptions after the close of the term at which the judgment sought to be reversed had become final. The judgment was rendered on December 20, 1907. The term closed December 31st, and a new term began on January 1, 1908. On January 10, 1908 an appeal bond was approved and filed. On January 14th the appellant, having given eight days' notice, under rule 55 of the court, presented a bill of exceptions to the court for allowance. The stipulation in respect of this recites: 'In pursuance of common-law rule No. 55, counsel for the appellee was present, having received the eight-day notice, together with a copy of appellant's proposed bill of exceptions, required by said rule. The proposed bill of exceptions was submitted to the court by counsel for the appellant in the presence of, and without objection from, counsel for the appellee.'
Common-law rule 55, under which the appellant claimed the right to have his bill of exceptions filed within thirty-eight days after the rendition of the judgment, was applicable only so long as the judgment term was running, and did not operate to extend the power of the trial judge over the record beyond the term. No order had been made in term time for the filing of such a delayed bill. Not only had the term closed, but an appeal had been allowed and perfected. The trial court had thereby lost control of the cause, and had no authority to add to or take from the record.
In Michigan Ins. Co. v. Eldred, 143 U.S. 293, 298 , 36 S. L. ed. 162, 163, 12 Sup. Ct. Rep. 450, 452, this court said:
See also Morse v. Anderson, 150 U.S. 156 , 37 L. ed. 1037, 14 Sup. Ct. Rep. 43; Muller v. Ehlers, 91 U.S. 249 , 23 L. ed. 319; Merchants's Ins. Co. v. Buckner (C. C. A. 6th C.) 39 C. C. A. 19, 98 Fed. 222.
But it is urged that if the appellee consented that an order might be entered nuncpro tunc, permitting the filing and allowance of a bill of exceptions, such consent should be given the force of an order in term or a rule of court. But if this be granted, the order in this case does not profess to have been founded upon consent. The stipulation recites that the proposed bill was presented to the court 'in the presence of, and without objection from, counsel for the appellee.'
The proceeding was coram non judice. Appellee was not in court or before a court. The judge and the court had lost all power over the cause, the parties, and the record. The appellant was pretending to proceed under rule 55. The appellee might well sit silent and let the matter rest upon the claim; it was not asked to say whether it consented. A different case might arise if, by its failure to object, the appellant had been misled to his injury. But there was nothing left undone which might have been done, and nothing done to his prejudice. The plain question was, Did the court have power, under rule 55, or under any order of the court or controlling practice, to allow a bill of exceptions after the close of the term? The appellee might fairly say nothing.
So grave a matter as the allowance of a bill of exceptions after the close of the term and after the court had lost [218 U.S. 255, 258] all judicial power over the record should not rest upon a mere implication from silence. There should be express consent, or conduct which should equitably estop the opposite party from denying that he had consented. There was nothing of that kind in this case, and the judgment of the Court of Appeals must be affirmed.

School transmutation; Level magus 5, sorcerer/wizard 5
Casting Time 1 standard action
Range long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level)
You move objects or creatures by concentrating on them. Depending on the version selected, the spell can provide a gentle, sustained force, perform a variety of combat maneuvers, or exert a single short, violent thrust.
Sustained Force: A sustained force moves an object weighing no more than 25 pounds per caster level (maximum 375 pounds at 15th level) up to 20 feet per round. A creature can negate the effect on an object it possesses with a successful Will save or with spell resistance. This version of the spell can last 1 round per caster level, but it ends if you cease concentration. The weight can be moved vertically, horizontally, or in both directions. An object cannot be moved beyond your range. The spell ends if the object is forced beyond the range. If you cease concentration for any reason, the object falls or stops.
An object can be telekinetically manipulated as if with one hand. For example, a lever or rope can be pulled, a key can be turned, an object rotated, and so on, if the force required is within the weight limitation. You might even be able to untie simple knots, though delicate activities such as these require DC 15 Intelligence checks.
Combat Maneuver: Alternatively, once per round, you can use telekinesis to perform a bull rush, disarm, grapple (including pin), or trip. Resolve these attempts as normal, except that they don't provoke attacks of opportunity, you use your caster level in place of your Combat Maneuver Bonus, and you add your Intelligence modifier (if a wizard) or Charisma modifier (if a sorcerer) in place of your Strength or Dexterity modifier. No save is allowed against these attempts, but spell resistance applies normally. This version of the spell can last 1 round per caster level, but it ends if you cease concentration.
Violent Thrust: Alternatively, the spell energy can be spent in a single round. You can hurl one object or creature per caster level (maximum 15) that are within range and all within 10 feet of each other toward any target within 10 feet per level of all the objects. You can hurl up to a total weight of 25 pounds per caster level (maximum 375 pounds at 15th level).
You must succeed on attack rolls (one per creature or object thrown) to hit the target with the items, using your base attack bonus + your Intelligence modifier (if a wizard) or Charisma modifier (if a sorcerer). Weapons cause standard damage (with no Strength bonus; note that arrows or bolts deal damage as daggers of their size when used in this manner). Other objects cause damage ranging from 1 point per 25 pounds (for less dangerous objects) to 1d6 points of damage per 25 pounds (for hard, dense objects). Objects and creatures that miss their target land in a square adjacent to the target.
Creatures who fall within the weight capacity of the spell can be hurled, but they are allowed Will saves (and spell resistance) to negate the effect, as are those whose held possessions are targeted by the spell.
If a telekinesed creature is hurled against a solid surface, it takes damage as if it had fallen 10 feet (1d6 points).

Possible Causes
Faulty Exhaust Back Pressure Valve
Exhaust Back Pressure Valve harness is open or shorted
Exhaust Back Pressure Valve circuit poor electrical connection
الأسباب المحتملة
Possible Symptoms
Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
الأعراض المحتملة
Exhaust Back Pressure Regulator – Is a variable position valve that controls exhaust back pressure during cold ambient temperatures to increase cab heat and decrease the amount of time needed to defrost the windshield. The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses the measured exhaust back pressure, (ambient) intake air temperature, engine oil temperature and engine load to determine the desired exhaust back pressure. Valve position is controlled by switching the output signal circuit to 12 volts inside the ECM. On/off time is modulated from 0 to 99 % dependent upon the exhaust back pressure desired.
Upon each initial engine start-up, the ECM exercises the exhaust back pressure valve by commanding it to cycle on and off once. If upon start-up the temperature of intake air sensed by the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is < 37°F (5°C) and the oil temperature sensed by the Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) sensor is between 32°-140°F (0-60°C) it will continue to keep the back pressure valve partially closed. As the oil temperature rises during engine operation, the ECM will control the valve in response to the rising oil temperature.

While some are still trying to come to terms with just how Flappy Bird got to the top of the App Store charts, another game has come along that will make you wonder just what the hell is going on.
Right now, the #2 paid app (#1 paid game) on Apple's App Store is a game called Red Bouncing Ball Spikes.
It is, for want of a more eloquent term, a piece of shit.
Built using a $10 template available from Game Salad, a service for people who want some help making mobile games, it's poorly-rendered, breaks on some phones and lacks Game Center support. It lies about its length, promising "over 100 different long levels", while actually delivering around 30. Its first update had to add a menu button, because the original release forgot to.
When Flappy Bird first came out of nowhere, it was accused of having used bots to inflate its download count, propelling it up the charts (and thus in front of more eyeballs, making more money).
The fact so many are enjoying Flappy Bird - and that despite its creative borrowings, it's at least relatively polished - has relegated that theory to the background, as has the fact it's a free game.
But Red Bouncing Ball Spikes is a $0.99 download.
So just who is downloading this crap, and where is the money coming from? The developer - listed as Louis Leidenfrost - has no other presence on the App Store. This game has had no marketing. It's not on Game Center. "Louis" has no contact info listed, and his support section redirects to the fake URL twiiterr.co.
UPDATE: Gamasutra points to some sleuthing that suggests that "Louis" may actually be Mateen Pekan, a figure accused of being quite the scammer.
User reviews are just as fishy. While it has an overall rating of three stars, that's mostly split between 1-star reviews warning people away and suspicious five-star ratings.
Red Bouncing Ball Spike's App Store webpage, for example, only shows three full reviews from people like "ilovethisapp193903", who proclaim:
This game is the best game of 2014 in my opinion, it brings simplicity to a good place. It is very fun, engaging, and I can't stop playing. please make more apps! Fantastic job! 5 stars! I recommend this to all people. Best 99 cents I've ever spent.
It may not sound like a big deal, but for people making mobile games for a living, it is. The App Store is the only visibility these games get. It's Gamestop, Amazon, eBay and Walmart rolled into one. Games at the top of the charts enjoy a snowball effect; they're the games people see when they visit the store, so they're ones that are downloaded the most.
I'm not sure what we're looking at here. It could be fraud. It could be performance art. It could be trolling. It could be all three at once. Whichever it is, it's starting to look possible that people have found a real, effective way to game Apple's (and Google's) App Store charts for financial gain, something both companies are going to need to take a look at.

Noted iPhone security destroyer Jonathan Zdziarski has cracked the iPhone 3GS encryption security, which is to be expected, but the ease and speed with which he did it is worrisome. Zdziarski claims the iPhone 3GS is thus "useless" to businesses.
The iPhone certainly isn't as ubiquitous for corporate use as BlackBerry or even Windows Mobile, but that's starting to change, and Zdziarski is very concerned that the iPhone 3GS's security puts sensitive data at unnecessary risk. He claims that with easily-available software, anybody can break into an iPhone 3GS and start extracting data within two minutes, and access everything on the phone within 45. After reading this, we could see why companies might just be reluctant to trade their BlackBerrys in for a shiny new iPhone 3GS. [Wired]

Many users of Windows 7 and 8.1 will start seeing a more aggressive push to upgrade to Windows 10 in the coming days, as Microsoft starts to roll the new operating system out as a recommended update which will automatically download.
Microsoft said the rollout of Windows 10 as a recommended update will happen in phases starting Monday. Users who have their computers set to automatically download and install recommended updates will start to see an installer for the new operating system pop up prompting them to upgrade their computer.
Although the Windows 10 updater will automatically download to those computers, users will have the final say on whether they want to actually upgrade their machine to the new operating system. People who update to Windows 10 and end up disliking it can roll back to their previous OS up to 31 days after the upgrade.
The rollout was a long time coming. Microsoft announced the plan to release Windows 10 as a recommended update in October, saying the push would happen in "early 2016." The move shows how confident Microsoft is in the stability of its new operating system, since it's willing to put the update in front of people who aren't rushing out to get it.
Helping users get a hold of the upgrade is also useful for ensuring that as many people as possible take Microsoft up on the offer to upgrade computers running Windows 7 and 8.1 for free. The company has said that opportunity will expire in July of this year.

Journal EntriesThis recurring website feature highlights articles from The GASB Report, the GASB's monthly newsletter. The current article appeared in the June 2013 issue.
The Fair Value Measurement and Application Field TestThe GASB is soliciting participants for a field test it is conducting in conjunction with the issuance of a Preliminary Views in its Fair Value Measurement and Application project. All state and local governmental entities, including pension plans that administer pensions for state and local governments, are eligible and welcome to participate.
The GASB recently approved a Preliminary Views, Fair Value Measurement and Application, which proposes new accounting standards regarding which assets and liabilities should be measured at "fair value," how that value should be determined, and what note disclosures should be included with fair value measures. The application of the Board's proposed requirements in the Preliminary Views, if ultimately issued as a Statement, would enhance financial statement users' ability to assess the government's accountability and provide more decision-useful information.
Field tests are a part of the GASB's due process activities and help the GASB to establish effective standards. Participating entities volunteer to go through the exercise of "implementing" the proposal as if it were in place and then provide feedback to the GASB regarding that process. Field tests point out potential problems related to the implementation of proposed standards and allow the GASB to gather valuable information about implementation costs.
GASB field tests can provide participants with a variety of benefits, not the least of which is being able to ask the GASB project staff questions regarding implementation issues. This gives participants a significant head start on implementation when the final standard is issued. The GASB publicly acknowledges the assistance of entities that participate in its field tests for those that wish to be acknowledged.
Those interested in being a part of the field test first participate in a pre-test interview. Afterward, a participating entity would apply the requirements of the proposal and answer certain related questions. It is expected that participants will have between six to eight weeks after the issuance of the Preliminary Views to complete the field test.
Entities interested in participating in the Fair Value Measurement and Application field test should contact GASB Project Manager Randy Finden either by e-mail at email@example.com or by telephone at (203) 956-5240.
