After months of speculation, it's official: Whole Foods is coming to Savannah, according to the high-end grocer's second quarter report, released Wednesday.
"The Company recently signed eight new leases averaging 38,600 square feet in size," the report states, "in North Burnaby, B.C.; Alpharetta, GA; Savannah, GA; Maple Grove, MN; Albany, NY; Brooklyn, NY; Memphis, TN; and Toronto, Ontario.
"These stores currently are scheduled to open in fiscal year 2013 and beyond," the report continues.
The Savannah store will move into a portion of the site of the former Backus family automobile dealership at the junction of Victory Drive and Truman Parkway. It will measure 35,000 square feet.
The high-end grocer will be flanked by shops in a 12,000-square-foot building. Another 12,800-square-foot building is proposed on the western edge of the site.

Juventus legend Franco Causio claims it is obvious that Milos Krasic isn't in the long term plans of the club.
Krasic initially impressed following his 2010 move from CSKA Moscow, but he no longer features in Antonio Conte's starting XI.
"Krasic hasn't delivered as expected," the 1982 World Cup winner told TMW on Thursday morning.
"He hasn't adapted to our championship and he hasn't been able to settle as he did in the Russian League.
"He was initially perfect for [Gigi Del Neri's 4-4-2] Juventus, but Conte has now found the right balance with his 4-3-3 and Krasic clearly has no part in that."
The Serbian international is being linked with a January exit and Causio thinks that a move to the Premiership could revive his career.
"He can do well in England or Spain," the former midfielder continued. "It would be hard in England, but he could be a protagonist with his pace."

I know it will be a long tough road but art is my life and it has been since i was little. Im not 100% sure where art will take me but concept art and comic book art are like the dreams for me. I was just wondering if anybody could advise me as to what path i should take educationally? Is it wise to stay in the Uk and go to an art school or should i study abroad? My family isnt well off and couldnt cope with fees so i was lso wondering if anyone had any personal advice on international scholarships if studying in the US seems a good option.

NORTHERNBLOT - NORTHERNBLOT TRANSFERENCE PROBLEMS (Jul/02/2009 )
Hi everybody!!
I am having a very stupid problem but i cant get a logical cause. It is the first time i set up a northernblot and somehow is not working at all. I am working with RNA from S. coelicolor M145. The method i am using is northernblot by capilarity because on my lab we dont have any machine to blot. My specific problem is that i can not transfer the RNA from the agorose gel to the membrane. I already tried to let the blot longer, with more buffer, with more weight, but nothing is working. The RNA agarose gel is made with formaldehide. The buffer i use to blot is the SSC 10X (NaCl 1.5 M, and Sodium Citrate 0.15 M). Do you have any idea about what is happening?, Do you know if i have to make any other treatment to the RNA, or to the RNA agarose gel before blotting?......PLEASEE HELP!!!!....I will be really glad for your answer.
Make sure that the filter paper or your stack is the same size as your gel, if it is larger, it will flop over the edges and suck up buffer straight from th tank/bridge rather than drawing it through the gel. This is known as short circuiting and can also be prevented by covering the edges of the bridge in parafilm.
Have a look at the attached image - blue is the buffer tank, pink is the bridge and black is the parafilm.
Thanks a lot for your answer, at the beggining we though that was the problem but we already tried that, so that is not the reason . Any other idea?
A_Gisela on Jul 2 2009, 07:06 PM said:
Did you stain the gel after transfer to see if anything is there?
Try downward passive transfer....far superior for southern or northern...faster, more efficient, uses gravity, won't flatten your gel etc.
check out ambion for protocol and figs etc.
Hi eldon!
Yes i did, I checked the gel and all my samples were still there. Dont know what is going on, the RNA doesnt want to go to thye membrane, it is just staying on the agarose gel......
Try using 20x SSC, the higher salt content should increase the mobility of the RNA.

During a game between Marble Falls and San Antonio John Jay a bizarre play saw two San Antonio players apparently target a ref and hit him, even after he was down. The two players were ejected, but here's what we know of the incident according to Deadspin:
Late in Jay's 15-9 loss at Marble Falls, one defensive back ran from 7 yards away into the back of an official watching a run play unfold 9 yards in front of him.
After the referee's fell to the turf after the first hit, another player standing to the right of the referee and several yards away led with his helmet and dove into the official.
Both players were ejected. Northside ISD athletic director Stan Laing said the video was "very disturbing." Laing said the district is investigating the sequence of events leading up to the pla, and the University Interscholastic League is aware of what happened.
"The question of what instigated that is what we're trying to figure out," Laing said.

The BowburnMag Charity Fun Day.
Stephen Thompson or BowburnMag as we all knew him on our forum or blogs before that, passed away last December as we all know. His time spent entertaining us with his stories or anecdotes is rewarded by the sheer amount of people who turned out for the event in his memory, the first of many i hope.
Some of the members of our forum turned up to take part in a football tournament of which we must all agree that everyone was a winner. The results didn't matter but what did is that we all played with the right attitude and spirit whilst remembering why we were there.
Hopefully we get greater numbers in the future to maybe have 2 teams take part, it doesn't matter if you are fit, fat or unable. Being there is credit in itself. Photos and videos of the day will follow in due course but the lasting memory i will take away from this is that BBM served a purpose in life that he probably wasn't aware of and that was to get people together. We all gathered in his memory and others on the back of what shock his death brought. Proving that life should be lived to the full, let bygones be bygones and all that.
Gone but never forgotten.

By bringing together Eastern and Western instruments in a beautiful arrangement with girls from all different ethnicity and background sitting next to one another from all different regions of Afghanistan, this ensemble symbolizes the future of Afghanistan.
All of this has profound political implications for Afghanistan. It proves that the differences at the political level is mostly on the surface with those who feel the need to be in power while the majority Afghans are longing to live in harmony and peace with one another.
Tribal and regional differences have been used by some people to put pressure on President Karzai and to gain power, while this ensemble shows that most Afghans are determined to learning and working together regardless of their differences.
This ensemble also illustrates that Afghans don't have to become like others but to be with others appreciating their values while holding on to their own.
The success of this program is due to the fact that this was an Afghan initiative collaborating with international music teachers as a joint effort. A great listen for development agencies around the world.
The most successful development in Afghanistan in the past ten years have been in sports, music and media. Afghans have won silver and bronze middles at the Olympics for the first time. Also, Afghan soccer, volleyball, golf, taekwondo, basketball and cricket teams of boys and girls have participated in many national and international tournaments and have won. Afghanistan has fostered more musicians then ever, in the past ten years.
There are more journalists, print media, radio and TV stations then ever before. These have all been Afghan initiatives and not an international idea being designed outside of Afghanistan. Therefore, it will thrive post 2014.
Afghanistan can only be rebuilt when our international allies allow the Afghans to come up with their own initiatives to develop the country. Be it the government, civil society, or the private sector and only then, international support will be making a difference bringing peace through collaboration.
Sherjan is founder and CEO of Aid Afghanistan for Education in Kabul, Afghanistan.

Cancer-sniffing Dogs Studied To Help Diagnose Cancer
[ Watch the Video: Trained Dogs Can Sniff Out Cancer ]
Lee Rannals for redOrbit.com - Your Universe OnlineA new study suggests that a doctor´s visit may not be all that necessary when trying to determine whether you have lung cancer, just ask your pet pooch.
Austrian researchers found that dogs are pretty good at being able to sniff out lung cancer, lending hope towards early diagnosis.
Peter Errhalt, head of the pulmonology department at Krems hospital in northern Austria, one of the authors of the study, mentioned that dogs have no problem with identifying tumor patients.
During the study, Errhalt said dogs achieved a 70-percent success rate in identifying cancer from 120 breath samples.
The results are on par with a study by German scientists in 2011, who looked into why canines act strange around cancer sufferers.
With the new study, scientists hope to identify what dogs are detecting, Michael Mueller from the Otto Wagner Hospital in Vienna, who collaborated on the pilot project told France 24.
The results from the study could help scientists reproduce in the long term an "electronic nose" that could help diagnose lung cancer in the early stages. Ultimately, this study could lead to improving cancer survival rates through early diagnosis.
Scientists from the two-year study are now planning to extend the study, making it 10 times larger than the original.
In 2009, redOrbit reported about canines that were able to warn diabetic owners when their blood sugar levels started to drop. During this study, researchers found that 65 percent of people with insulin-dependent diabetes reported that their pets reacted to a hypoglycemic episode by whining, barking, licking or some other display.

NPPD Rush is an open world Action RPG game with a unique and powerful storyline. The city of Nauseous Pines has been plunged into a drug fuelled spiral towards implosion. Can the 'Sockets' help save the city?Read full description
NPPD Rush is an open world Action RPG game with a unique and powerful storyline. The city of Nauseous Pines has been plunged into a drug fuelled spiral towards implosion. Can the 'Sockets' help save the city?
The year is 198X and Nauseous Pines is in the grip of a new designer drug called 'Nox', developed by enigmatic nightclub owner 'Ultra Violet'. Play as MHLK 2.0, a second generation 'Socket', who has been saved and reformed from a previous life as a Nox junkie. Your limbs have been removed and you have been Socketed in to an experimental police superbike.
The initial goal is to rescuing 30 females in 5 minutes, all of who are dying at the hands of the designer drug "NOX". You are their last hope! But as the game unfolds the battle turns to gaining more time as you come closer to the true horror of "Nox" and your own existence.
Interact with the various shops to upgrade your police super bike, hack its timing circuits and even sell unused organs to an organ trafficker for extra money as you make you way towards the inevitable confrontation with "Ultra Violet and a battle that will reveal the very nature of your existence.
The game comes with a storming sound track with music from renowned 16 bit musician, Toshiaki Sakoda (Naxat, Konami, Hudson, Namco, Square-Enix, Microsoft and others), plus amazing graphics from renowned Teletext artist Dan Farrimond.
I get that they were going for the old school arcade game but this really doesn't cut it. With so many retro-style games coming out these days in all genres, there is simply no reason to waste your time with this one. I played for about 15 minutes then stopped because it wasn't fun. The gameplay is pretty ordinary but the big problem is the graphics. In old games, you could always tell what everything was even though they had so little to work with. This game simply looks a mess and has no old school charm. As other reviews have noted, there are next to no options and poor features (music being one of them). Only buy this if you're a hard-core collector of games or steam cards.
When I started this game I thought it was a cool idea but the more time I spent in the more I regret it. Why? It's painful to play. It's not old school game, it's not retro game. It tries to imitate this kind of game but without any success. There is nothing fun to do. This is not fun experience. NPPD Rush: The Milk of Ultra Violet is terrible "game". Once you will learn how to play you can beat it very fast but either you will get bored before, or very annoyed and look around internet for some tips. Anyway, don't get it. Waste of time, money and shame to have something like that in Steam's library. 5/100 only because it have steam cards.
NPPD Rush tries too hard to be an "old school" retro arcade game. The game explains nothing. There is little to no user interface. Pretty much the only thing going for it is the controls. The mouse and keyboard controls are at least responsive. PS: there is no controller support. What it really reminds me of is Hotline Miami. Why? The 1980s~ theme, top down shooter and the graphics. But does it play like it? No. Basically there is one repetitive music track that plays and it's not very good. The gameplay is boring. There are no in-game options despite being developed for PC. No volume control, no resolution options, no window/fullscreen changes and etc. The graphics are very nauseating.

Gerry Sutcliffe bullish that Bradford will get Super League licence for 2014 soon
Bradford co-chairman Gerry Sutcliffe is confident the Bulls will be granted a full Super League licence for 2014 soon.
Last Updated: 21/03/13 11:21am
The Bulls are playing in the 2013 competition on a probationary licence after spending much of the off-season with their short-term future in serious doubt.
But Sutcliffe, Member of Parliament for Bradford South, and owner Omar Khan are keen for the Rugby Football League to rubber-stamp the club's future until the end of 2014 when the current set of top-flight licences expire.
Sutcliffe told the Telegraph and Argus: "The indications the RFL are giving us is that they're happy with our progress and we don't expect there to be any problems.
"We certainly can't take anything for granted but we don't want to be in a position like the club were in last year when we're trying to negotiate with players but cannot give them guarantees about our Super League status.
"We're currently having positive discussions with the RFL about next year so we can start to move forward quickly."
Sutcliffe is also hopeful that the odd bit of behind-the-scenes trouble is now in the past, and that the club is on an upward curve despite the somewhat troubling economic climate.
"It was known that we had a problem with the shirt sponsors because they didn't get the shirts to us in the time that we wanted," Sutcliffe added.
"That meant there was less income than there should have been and, in terms of season tickets, we didn't get to where we wanted to be. But I think that will come in time because people see the team doing well on the pitch and will start to come.
"You also have to look at the economic conditions in the country right now. There isn't a lot of money around and people are finding it hard.
"We always said it would take two years to turn the club around and I think Omar has to be congratulated for the personal investment he has made in the club. We knew it would be a rocky road but we're confident that we're bringing in the finances needed to move the Bulls forward."

In March 2007, Portugal opened what is being considered the world's largest-producing solar power plant.
Taking almost a year to construct, the 11-megawatt, $78.5 million plant covers 150 acres of the Serpa hillside. Officials estimate the plant has enough generating power to produce energy for 8,000 homes. The plant has 52,000 photovoltaic modules, and it will produce 20 gigawatt-hours per year—40 percent more energy than the world's second-largest solar power plant. The designers from PowerLight, the company that also will operate the facility, say this solar plant will keep 30,000 tons of greenhouse gases from escaping into the environment from the burning of fossil fuels each year.
Adding to the size of the plant, this area of Portugal generally receives 3,300 hours of sunlight per year, which makes it a prime location for the world's most productive solar plant. "This project is successful because Portugal's sunshine is plentiful, the solar power technology is proven [and] government policies are supportive," said Kevin Walsh of Renewable Energy GE, which built the project.
Portugal is almost entirely dependent on imported energy, but it is developing large hydroelectric and solar plants as well. The country plans to invest $10.8 billion in renewable energy over the next five years.
Portions of the plant have been operating since January, but it wasn't until March that the plant went into full effect. EC

PhD thesis: Photoemission microscopy of liquids under operating conditions
A fundamental understanding of the electronic interactions at solid-liquid interfaces is a key to resolve principal problems in current energy-related applications. For example, the electrical double layer and its determinant function in the electrodes of batteries, capacitors and other electrochemical devices, has been known for over a century, but modern science is still looking for the detailed information on its structure. Hence, novel tools to study the double layer are still under heavy development. One of the approaches is to build a miniature electrochemical cell to be used in a photoemission microscope, which will bring spatially and spectroscopically resolved information at an unprecedented level.
Our department:
Peter-Grünberg-Institut-6 is a research institute focused on the electronic structure investigations of a matter using electron spectroscopies and microscopies. Apart from the laboratory resources available in Forschungszentrum Juelich, it governs three external state-of-the-art imaging and spectroscopic facilities – the NanoESCA endstation at synchrotron Elettra in Trieste, Italy; the HAXPEEM endstation at synchrotron Petra-III in Hamburg and the LEEM/PEEM endstation at synchrotron BESSY-II in Berlin.
Your tasks:
The aim of this work is to further develop and implement the imaging technology in operating liquid electrochemical cells using photoelectron emission microscopy. The main part of the project will be carried out at the BESSY-II synchrotron facility in Berlin, with close collaborations including NIST (USA), NIMS (Japan) and other large scale facilities in Germany (DESY Hamburg) and elsewhere.
The successful implementation of the working electrochemical cell is a prerequisite for the electrodeposition of magnetic and non-magnetic materials, functionalizing the electrodes and investigating the chemical changes of the electrode materials and the electrolyte using X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. Achieved results will be presented at international conferences and will be published in impacted journals.
Your profile:
- Very good academic records in condensed matter physics, surface physics or physical chemistry
- Good written and oral communication skills in English
- Good programming and analytical skills - Igor Pro, Matlab, Python, …
- Experience with any of the following is a plus: ultra-high vacuum systems, synchrotron radiation, electrochemistry, electron microscopy

Just because you have the uniform doesn't make your ass bulletproof and doesn't give you a right to talk to people like a lot of police officers do. You spoke about the standard "don't you have anything better to do?" phrase, but you have a lot of standards of your own. Ticket or no ticket, no encounter with a law enforcement agent has ever been pleasant, no matter how polite I act. I respect your JOB to enforce laws, and I accept the consequences that come with breaking the law. When you start acting like I kicked your dog by speeding at 4 am in the morning you can just shut the fuck up and write me a ticket, and then go back to your sweet 12 hour schedule of sitting under highway underpasses.
People need to take a hard look at themselves and realise that a lot of their supposed heroic choices aren't really choices and then act accordingly.
Soldiers never forget their purpose and cause. I'm not a public servant to you or anyone else. I did what I did for the love of a piece of paper written a couple hundred years ago that means more to me than fighting or protecting your "god given rights" or the kid from princeton who graduated top of his class with a degree in finance. You only reaped the benefits of our sacrifice so check yourself at the welcome mat. You swing a double edge sword by speaking of respect for the job then you throw in a fu attitude at the end.
Take a few classes on the law and our justice system before you make anymore assasine comments. If you did, you'd notice how politics, economy and culture has change policing roles throughout the century. I will admit the system is imperfect and changes still have to be made, but so far no one here yet has made an intellectual comment on that. Instead we've gotten irrelevant and out of scope comments about bad experiences with the "po-pos". You generalize the badge and uniform and you applied it everywhere. Rational thought has escaped you for you can't converse on the subject with an unbiased attitude. Some cops are assholes and some are corrupt, what's your point? Assholes and corruption do not limit themselves to the boys in blue. I can make points from many different avenues, but for the sake of arguement, I'll stay on the subject of police culture and social order.
For the record, I disagree with the article. I can however, understand why the author is bitter that law enforcement is overcast by athletes. Further analysis will show its mostly economics. Sadly enough, it also shows an issue with American values and morals. But that's another debate.

The first public hearing on the proposal was held Monday night.
The rezoning would increase density in one of the city's oldest and most established business districts, the area surrounding Grand Central Terminal.
The city hopes the rezoning will encourage the construction of new state-of-the-art commercial buildings.
Development under the rezoning is expected to expand the city's tax base, add thousands of permanent jobs in East Midtown and fund improvements to the subway and pedestrian network in the area.
The East Midtown plan is also the first initiative to require a higher standard for energy efficiency, ensuring that new office towers utilizing the zoning incentives will be at the leading edge of energy efficiency.
The rezoning covers the area generally bounded by East 39th Street to the south, East 57th Street to the north, Second and Third Avenues to the east and a line 150 feet east of Fifth Avenue to the west. The area includes Grand Central Terminal at its core with Park Avenue as its central spine, and is served by the Lexington Avenue subway and cross-town subway lines on 42nd and 53rd Streets.

Lest we forget ... A protestor erects a series of nooses outside Shell's London headquarters earlier today. Photograph: Graham Turner
"We all stand on trial, my lord, for by our actions we have denigrated our country and jeopardised the future of our children. As we subscribe to the subnormal and accept double standards, as we lie and cheat openly, as we protect injustice and oppression, we empty our classrooms, degrade our hospitals, and make ourselves the slaves of those who subscribe to higher standards, who pursue the truth, and honour justice, freedom and hard work."
Powerful, searing words, all the more powerful for having been spoken by a man who was executed soon afterwards for having the bravery to utter them. Ken Saro-Wiwa, playwright, agitator and political activist, was put on trial in October 1995 following his outspoken criticism of multinational oil companies' desecration of land owned by the Ogoni people - criticism that saw Saro-Wiwa face the wrath of Nigeria's military government. Despite a blizzard of international condemnation, he and eight others were executed on November 10, exactly 10 years ago today.
The occasion is being marked by a sequence of memorials across the globe. Following last night's talk by fellow Nigerian Wole Soyinka at London's South Bank Centre and a protest this morning at the Shell headquarters nearby, events are taking place as far afield as Toronto and Scotland, many organised by International PEN, which is taking the opportunity to draw attention to writers who are currently suffering unjust imprisonment.
Anyone within striking distance of London is being urged to roll on down to Brixton Jamm tonight, where "Dance the Guns to Silence," an evening of poetry and music celebrating Saro-Wiwa's life, is happening from 7.30pm until late. Cinematic tribute of sorts will also be paid across the UK from tomorrow, when Fernando Meirelles's film of Le Carré's The Constant Gardener, part-inspired by Saro-Wiwa's death, sees its release.
It's also been announced today that more permanent testimonials are due to be raised in London. No hackneyed bronzes, mercifully: Saro-Wiwa is going to have the unusual but remarkable tribute of a stainless steel Nigerian bus, cast by Sokari Douglas Camp and covered in texts from the author's writings.
Not only that, though: the bus is to be joined by a multimedia installation by Siraj Izhar, who will suspend helium-filled representations of a C60 carbon molecule - the most symmetrical molecule known to science, held up as a model of perfect structure - above various locations in London. Difficult to conceive of what this will look like, but the pictures do look fairly stunning - though we'll presumably have to wait a while before they're realised.
Saro-Wiwa's son, Ken Wiwa, suggested in Sunday's Observer why it was worth remembering, in a week of remembrance, what his father accomplished. "Part of the inspiration for the living memorial," he wrote, "came from Milan Kundera's observation that 'the struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting'."

Here are some of my tips on how to reduce the time it takes to produce a crate of grenades and bring it to market.
First, you will need 3 Factories to Speed produce C12's and C22's. 4 Factories for Thermal/Imperial Det. 5 Factories for Protons. Grenades and there parts are VERY complex and that translates into a long time to produce. My Imperial Detonators are 408 seconds. That is like 4.7 days(not counting server downtime) to complete 40 crates of Imperial Detonators, after the time it took to make the parts.
Note: When you make the subcomponents, label them to avoid mistakes. "Warhead Fusing 1" and "Light warhead 1" representing the two subcomponents to make a C12. "Warhead Fuser 2" "Warhead Stablizing 2" "Medium Warhead 2" would be for Imperial Detonators, etc. The purpose of the labels is so that if you have 10 factories running parts and grenades you know where they go at a glance.
Note: This has an added benefit, when producing the Larger munitions. For example: If you complete all the parts for Imperial Detonators that will leave you holding 3 sets of 40 crates of subcomponents(120 units). And as you know a Factory INPUT hopper(100 unit capacity) will not hold them all. By utilizing the extra factory you overcome the capacity problems and greatly reduce your production time on the larger munitions.
It's all about choosing the right resources. The better your resources the better your end products will be.

Because I hate carrying crates between factories, I simply run 6 factories doing full-time C-12 production. I run 6 batches of warhead fusing mechanisms, then 6 batches of light warhead mechs, then 6 final combines of C-12s. It takes approximately a week to do a full run, but 240 crates a week is a pretty good production rate, IMHO.

At that moment approximately 550-600 medium warheads and stabilizing devices are ready, put them in input hopper as well and you can start production at once.By the time the first TD or ID are fully made the other components will be finished.

In news that will surely break the hearts of millions of girls around the world, a One Direction split could soon be on the cards.
This is according to Simon Cowell who believes that the group's days together may be numbered.
He told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: "Bands don't stay together forever.
"I think they will make at least two more albums together and they are in the middle of one right now."
The X Factor boss was the mastermind behind the massively popular boy band after putting them together on the 2010 instalment of the ITV talent show.
Speaking about the likelihood that only Harry Styles would be quitting the group, Simon said: "No, I don't think that is going to happen for a while. Eventually I am sure they all will."
This isn't the first time that we've heard rumblings about 1D going their separate ways and in the past individual members have even got out of their way to shoot down the rumours.
Heartthrob Harry Styles has even gone as far as insisting that the boys will stay together until they're too old to carry on.
He explained: "I'm 100 per cent in this band. I still want to be touring with One Direction in ten years. I'll be doing it until I'm old and people are telling me to stop."
The band are currently stateside as part of their Where We Are Tour and won't be finishing up in the US until October.
Earlier this week, the King of Curls learned a valuable lesson about carrying an umbrella when he was soaked by heavy rain in Washington D.C.
Despite being drenched, the 20-year-old still took the time to greet fans and was all smiles in a see through white t-shirt.
Sadly the same can't be said for Liam Payne who seems to be suffering from a bout of homesickness.
The 20-year-old let everyone know just how fed up he was on the other side of the Atlantic when he uploaded a frowning selfie to his 2.3 million Instagram followers.

Professor of New Testament
Matthew Skinner joined Luther Seminary's faculty in 2002, having earned his Ph.D. in biblical studies from Princeton Theological Seminary, where he had previously completed his M.Div. and served as a teaching fellow and visiting lecturer. In 1990 he received his A.B. degree magna cum laude, with a concentration in philosophy, from Brown University. In more recent years he has conducted advanced research at the Center of Theological Inquiry as a member-in-residence and a writing fellow.
Skinner's teaching experience covers the full range of the New Testament canon. His courses focus on the original, ancient settings and circumstances surrounding the creation and preservation biblical texts as well as how these writings continue to be experienced and interpreted in congregations and other public venues.
Much of Skinner's published work focuses on the Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, the cultural realities displayed in these writings, and their ongoing theological relevance. His most recent book, Intrusive God, Disruptive Gospel: Encountering the Divine in the Book of Acts, explores how we best read the Acts of the Apostles so it informs our understanding of the character of God, the challenges of faith, and the purpose of the church.
He also wrote The Trial Narratives: Conflict, Power, and Identity in the New Testament and has co-edited two books: The Unrelenting God: God's Action in Scripture and Shaping the Scriptural Imagination: Truth, Meaning, and the Theological Interpretation of the Bible. He is currently working on a textbook that will introduce students to the entire New Testament.
He has contributed to various resources for scholars, church leaders, and laypeople interested in the Bible's connections to faith and life, including The Oxford Encyclopedia of the Bible and Theology, Theological Bible Commentary, EnterTheBible.org, and Covenant Bible Study.
He writes about the Bible for websites including Huffington Post, Working Preacher, and ON Scripture—The Bible. He co-hosts Sermon Brainwave, a popular weekly podcast that helps preachers interpret biblical texts as part of their sermon preparations.
Ordained as a teaching elder in the Presbyterian Church (USA), Skinner frequently teaches at conferences, on college and seminary campuses, and in congregations.
Baylor University Press (2017 and 2018)
A Companion to the New Testament draws readers deep inside the New Testament by providing a basic orientation to its literary contours and its ways of talking about theological matters. Designed especially for students learning to navigate the Bible as Christian Scripture, the Companion serves as an accessible, reliable, and engaging guide to each New Testament book's contents. It explores these books' capacity for informing Christian faith and life—among ancient audiences and also within Christian communities through time.
Individual chapters offer thorough overviews of each New Testament book, helping readers consider its historical setting, cultural assumptions, literary dynamics, and theological points of view. The Companion consistently illustrates how social conditions and community identities left their marks on the particular theological rhetoric of the New Testament. Author Matthew Skinner draws on his extensive teaching experience to orient readers to theological convictions and social realities reflected in Scripture. He pays special attention to the New Testament's use of the Old Testament, the Roman Empire's influence on Christian ideas and practices, the place of women in the early church's life and teachings, the influence of Jewish apocalyptic themes on the New Testament, and ways that certain New Testament emphases have shaped basic Christian beliefs.
This first volume of the Companion explains that the Gospels are the results of the early churches' efforts to preserve memories about the life and teaching of Jesus, his character, and his enduring significance. Readers discover that Jesus' followers told their stories about him because of their desire to give testimony to him as the Christ and the agent of divine salvation. Likewise, the Companion's treatment of Acts underscores that book's understanding of God as active in the world, a God who continues the ministry Jesus began but does so now in and around the churches formed by Jesus' followers. The earliest churches' narratives about their Lord and their origins were theological narratives—stories meant to communicate believers' convictions about God and God's commitment to the world.
A Companion to the New Testament
Bloomsbury T&T Clark (2017)
This book looks at the Acts of the Apostles through two lenses that highlight the two topics of masculinity and politics. Acts is rich in relevant material, whether this be in the range of such characters as the Ethiopian eunuch, Cornelius, Peter and Paul, or in situations such as Timothy's circumcision and Paul's encounters with Roman rulers in different cities. Engaging Acts from these two distinct but related perspectives illuminates features of this book which are otherwise easily missed. These approaches provide fresh angles to see how men, masculinity, and imperial loyalty were understood, experienced, and constructed in the ancient world and in earliest Christianity. This collection of essays, edited by Matthew L. Skinner, Eric Barreto and Steve Walton, presents a range of topics: some engage with Acts as a whole as in Steve Walton's chapter on the way Luke-Acts perceives the Roman Empire, while others focus on particular sections, passages, and even certain figures, such as in an Christopher Stroup's analysis of the circumcision of Timothy. Together, the essays provide a tightly woven and deeply textured analysis of Acts. The dialogue form of essay and response will encourage readers to develop their own critiques of the points raised in the collection as a whole.
Reading Acts in the Discourses of Masculinity and Politics
Brazos Press (2015)
This engaging book guides readers through one of the most colorful books of the Bible, illuminating passages from Acts that show the Christian gospel expressing itself through the lives, speech, struggles, and adventures of Jesus's followers. The book emphasizes the disruptive character of the Christian gospel and shows how Acts repeatedly describes God as upsetting the status quo by changing people's lives, society's conventions, and our basic expectations of what's possible. Suited for individual and group study, this book by a New Testament scholar with a gift for popular communication asks serious questions and eschews pat answers, bringing Acts alive for contemporary reflection on the character of God, the challenges of faith, and the church.
Intrusive God, Disruptive Gospel: Encountering the Divine in the Book of Acts
An investigation of the notion of "righteousness" in Paul's letters, in writings of Luther and other Reformers, in recent literature, and in the activity of the contemporary church. By interpreting and studying others' interpretations of this key theological concept, the course inquires into what it means to understand and live the gospel as God's disruptive and merciful in-breaking. Employing righteousness as lens for considering God and God's relationship to the world, the course further explores related biblical imagery, the nature of good works, the shape of Christian worship and spirituality in differing contexts, and the practices of Christian communities.
An overview of the Pauline Letters, Hebrews, the General Letters, and Revelation as Christian scripture. Students develop a nuanced outlook on the contents and theological varieties of these writings. Students consider how they lead others in making sense of the New Testament in light of current realities and for the sake of exploring and articulating Christian faith.

Designed for selected, qualified students with a special interest or need. Consult faculty within division.
An overview of the Gospels according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John and the Acts of the Apostles as Christian scripture. Students develop a nuanced outlook on the Gospels as individual, distinct writings and also as writings that share relationships to each other. Students consider how they lead others in making sense of the Gospels and Acts in light of current realities and for the sake of exploring and articulating Christian faith.
Equivalency: SG0702 Scripture and Its Witnesses II
Exegesis of selected passages from Luke's narrative of the early church's geographical and theological growth. Special attention is given to the literary coherence of Acts, key theological motifs, points of interpretive controversy, questions about the book's historical and theological purposes, its depiction of communities and their decision-making, and the ways that this book might inform Christian ministry today.
An investigation of the Gospels' depictions of Jesus' betrayal, trial and execution. The course explores historical, literary, and theological dimensions of the Passion accounts, as well as how they function within their respective Gospels. Attention is given to how these texts have been interpreted in theological scholarship and in the visual and performing arts, and to how they can inform Christian proclamation and ministry today.
Drawing on and continuing the work of the core curriculum's language instruction, this course provides instruction and gives practice in biblical exegesis and theological interpretation in ministerial contexts. Each class will focus on a single book of the Bible or several related biblical texts and will require regular translation assignments from an ancient biblical language. Prerequisite: LG0220 Biblical Greek SPRING 2016-2017: FOCUS - GOSPEL OF MARK
A detailed analysis of the Gospel according to Luke, attending to the themes, theology, and teaching of the Gospel within its ancient setting, as well as its significance for our own time. The course highlights both the distinctiveness of Luke and its similarities to the other Gospels. To form and equip students as biblical interpreters, the course considers various interpretive traditions and explores what it means to read, teach, or preach Luke theologically. Sections based on either Greek or English text.
Saint John Chrysostom referred to the book of Acts as "a strange new dish," and it remains exactly that for many readers, preachers, and congregations. What can we learn from this lively story of travel, growth, setbacks, miracles, opposition, and responses to the Spirit's initiative? This course explores Acts as a theological narrative, a book that makes bold and sometimes difficult claims about the nature of God, the gospel, and humanity. Together we will explore the challenges and opportunities that come with preaching Acts, whether according to the Revised Common Lectionary's scattered seasonal offerings from Acts or through a series of sermons designed to walk a congregation into a deeper engagement with the book's narrative depiction of God, the church, human cultures, and the gospel. By working with Acts in particular, the course aims to strengthen biblical preaching in general. Interpreting and preaching Acts helps us think more creatively and with more nuance about the nature and theological character of biblical narrative, and so this course also considers what it means to preach a narrative and how preachers help Christian communities understand how biblical narrative can stimulate their theological imaginations. COURSE MEETS JUNE 12-18, 2017

(Critical Survey of Literature for Students)
Kikuji Mitani is on his way to a tea ceremony that will be performed at the inner cottage of Engakuji Temple in Kamakura, Japan. When Kikuji received an invitation to this ceremony from Kurimoto Chikako, his deceased father's former mistress, he initially thought it was being conducted in memory of his deceased father, but a postscript mentioned that she wanted him to meet Yuriko Inamura, her student. As he again reads the note, Kikuji remembers that, when he was taken by his father to visit Chikako, he accidentally viewed the large birthmark that covers half of her left breast. Kikuji has been haunted by this image since then.
After Kikuji enters the temple's grounds, he spots two young women, one of whom is carrying a bundle wrapped with a kerchief with a beautiful thousand-crane pattern. When Kikuji arrives at the cottage, he notices that the girl with the kerchief is there as well. Chikako tells Kikuji that the girl's father was a friend of his father. She then takes him aside and apologetically informs him that Mrs. Ota, his father's last mistress, is also attending the ceremony, along with her daughter Fumiko. Kikuji is puzzled because he knows that Chikako hates Mrs. Ota. In order to show Yuriko off to Kikuji, Chikako has her perform the tea ceremony using a bowl that originally belonged to Mrs. Ota's husband and that was later given to Kikuji's father.
After the ceremony is completed, Kikuji leaves. He runs into Mrs. Ota, who tells him that the ring that Fumiko is wearing was given to her by his father as a reward for helping him in an air raid during the war. Kikuji begins to feel that Mrs. Ota is treating him as if he were his father. They have dinner and spend the night together. He talks to her about Chikako's birthmark, and she is disgusted. Two weeks later, Fumiko visits Kikuji and apologizes for her mother's behavior. He tells her that her mother is a good person.
Chikako calls Kikuji at his office, telling him that she has cleaned his tea cottage and will cook for him. She also says that she will invite Yuriko for dinner. He returns home and...

Droylsden win a game! Manchester side end 47-game losing run
HEADS were just clearing in Manchester yesterday after non-League Droylsden's first win in nearly a year.
Only 135 people were at the game at the Butcher's Arms ground but they can say they were there the day Droylsden, bottom of the Northern Premier League and already relegated, ended a 47-game run without a victory stretching back to last April.
Droylsden beat Witton Albion 4-3, having led 3-0 at half-time, with goals from Domaine Rouse, Sam Freakes and two from Sefton Gonzales.
They had to do it the hard way though, Albion getting back to 3-3 before Gonzales beat keeper Matthew Cooper with his winner.
Dave Pace, Droylsden's long suffering owner, chairman and manager said: "We have been improving recently. I said we'd have a party when we finally won a game - and that's just what we did."

A top Democratic leader Wednesday accused House Speaker John Boehner of stringing out "fiscal cliff" negotiations with President Obama until after he wins his speakership reelection, when he would then cave in to Democratic demands to get a deal done without a majority of House Republican support.
"I hope he wouldn't avoid the tough decisions simply to take us into January and after his swearing-in, but I've become increasingly worried that that is exactly what's going on," charged Maryland Rep. Chris Van Hollen.
"I would hope that he would put the interests of getting an agreement before House Republican politics," added Van Hollen during a newsmaker breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor.
"That's nutty," Boehner spokesman Michael Steel told Secrets. "The speaker is doing everything possible to avert the fiscal cliff and protect American jobs right now. The White House just refuses to get serious about solving our country's spending problem," he added.
Twice during the breakfast, Van Hollen, the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee, suggested that Boehner is working toward a compromise Republicans will hate, one that presumably increases taxes on the rich beyond what the GOP has said it will agree to. He also repeatedly said that Boehner won't present that deal until after he wins reelection on January 3.
"My view is that a deal that would be perceived by the vast majority of the country to be reasonable, that involves compromise on all sides, where the speaker may not be able to get a majority of Republicans in his caucus to vote" for is being planned, said Van Hollen.
Such a deal, he suggested, would get House Democratic support but prompt a rift in the GOP and spark a conservative revolt.
"The risk for the speaker, of course, is if he brings to the floor of the House a bill that doesn't have a majority of Republican votes, that could create more churning within his caucus, meaning that he doesn't get the votes necessary [for reelection] on January 3," said Van Hollen. The "fiscal cliff" of higher taxes and radical spending cuts begins on January 1.
GOP officials said, however, that there is no talk of a secret deal to sell out Republican principles of lower taxes and spending cuts, that most conservative members are giving Boehner the benefit of the doubt in his talks with President Obama, and that Van Hollen is just trying to stir up worried House Republicans.

WELL; Technology That Involves Teenagers in Their Health
By JAN HOFFMAN
Published: October 9, 2012
The teenager's cellphone buzzes. Her doctor, Natasha Burgert, is texting her: "Better morning with this medication?"
Another teenager opens his phone. "Everything is great," reads Dr. Burgert's discreet text. "Go ahead with the plan we discussed. Please reply so I know you received."
And on the morning of college entrance exams, a teenager who suffers from a roiling stomach reads Dr. Burgert's texted greeting: "Prepared. Focused. Calm. Your body is healthy and well. Good luck today."
Dr. Burgert, a pediatrician in Kansas City, Mo., is making house calls. She is among a small but growing number of practitioners using social media to engage adolescents. Her patients read her blog and follow her on Twitter and Facebook. She even follows a few of the teenagers' blogs, commenting occasionally.
During checkups, Dr. Burgert no longer gives teenagers brochures with advice on healthy living - which usually led to glazed expressions and teeming wastebaskets. Instead, a whiteboard hangs in her exam room, with hyperlinks and QR codes to sites with teenager-friendly material on sexuality, alcohol and drugs. The teenagers can photograph the board with their phones, storing the information to peruse in private.
Those topics dispensed with, Dr. Burgert has more time to listen to her patients. "This is a time for you," she will say. "What do you want to talk about?" She often picks up subtle problems like stomachaches due to test anxiety.
She sustains those relationships through social media and, rather than leave teenagers unguided about dicey health matters, she continues sending them links to appropriate Web sites.
"I do as much as I can to get it on their phones, because that is what they live and die for," Dr. Burgert said. She gets parents' permission, because she doesn't want them checking a child's phone and chancing upon sites about, say, sexually transmitted diseases.
Medical practices are increasingly putting up Facebook pages to promote business and solder their community of patients. By adding social media, pediatricians and clinics are now capturing teenagers, some of their most elusive patients. Unlike younger children, who may see pediatricians several times a year, teenagers visit doctors infrequently. Generally healthy, they may stop by only for health forms for work permits, driver's licenses and sports teams.
But even as they insist on their growing independence, conflating privacy with secrecy, teenagers can be vulnerable to high-stakes, impulsive behavior. Monitoring them carefully but respectfully is tricky for doctors as well as parents. So while a decade ago practitioners saw the Internet as the enemy, a tool for demanding patients who brandished printouts during visits and called at all hours with obscure questions, adolescent-medicine specialists and pediatricians are now turning technology to their advantage.
The payoff, say doctors who text, tweet and post, is a better-informed teenager who finds social media a faster and less embarrassing means to have questions asked and answered.
"I feel more attached to Dr. Natasha this way," said Marie, 16, a high school junior from Kansas City, Kan. "It's kind of cool. It's direct. I don't have to go through the office ladies. And I like having another adult who is safe to go to."
But using social media also raises questions about doctor-patient boundaries, privacy laws and confidentiality. Should doctors "friend" young patients on Facebook? What rules should doctors establish about texting with teenagers: content, hours and expectations of speedy replies? How should doctors take into account the reality that teenagers' cellphones are often missing in action, only to be found - and pored over - by friends and parents?
For these reasons, many doctors stop short of texting. Because texting is not encrypted and does not comply with privacy laws, "my clinic rules forbid me," said Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson, a pediatrician who treats teenagers at the Everett Clinic, which is outside Seattle, and at Seattle Children's Hospital.
But teenagers follow her on Twitter and her Seattle Mama Doc blog, on which she writes commentary and posts health news and videos.
During visits, she will ask a teenager the safest way to pass along private information. For those on birth control, she'll say, "Take out your cellphone and put in a daily alarm about when to take your pill. Call it...'strawberry.' "
Dr. Swanson won't answer individual questions on her blog. "But if they ask a question in my office that I think a lot of teens would like to know about," she added, "I can put the content on the blog without identifying the patient."
In New York, Mount Sinai Hospital's Adolescent Health Center uses a program called Text in the City to send patients tips and reminders about medications and appointments. Patients can also text questions, understanding that answers may not arrive for 24 hours. Dr. Katie Malbon, who writes most of the responses, said she cautions: delete an answer after reading it.
New Generation Health Center in San Francisco, a reproductive health clinic for adolescents, also incorporates social media into its services. If a teenager tests positive for a sexually transmitted disease, for example, and feels awkward about telling a partner, a clinician will point her to a Web site to anonymously inform partners through e-mail.

EADS Cognac Aviation Training Services provides 50, 000 flight hours
- Unique outsourcing service for French Air Force Training School in Cognac
- Pioneering in comprehensive support of Pilot Training
On June 19th, EADS Cognac Aviation Training Services celebrates with French Air Force authorities the support of 50,000 flight hours logged at the Cognac Air Base. On this occasion, a joint commemorative event will be held at the Paris Airshow.
EADS Cognac Aviation Training Services (ECATS) was inaugurated in April 2006 to provide means and services allotted to pilot basic training of the French Air Force. This outsourcing operation is unique in France and pioneers in terms of the service quality provided to the French Air Force with the installation and operation of a fleet of 18 GROB 120 aircraft equipped with a new generation of IFR instrumentation (Instrument Flight Rules) and therefore qualified as Flight and Navigation Procedure flight trainers. Thus, the French Air Force has significantly modernised its pilot training syllabus based on the services provided by ECATS.
ECATS obtained from the French authorities for civil aviation the approval for civil as well as military maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) standards. The management of both a civilian and a military fleet is carried out on the same MRO standards as well as in continuing airworthiness procedures.
EADS Deutschland European Aeronautic Defence & Space Agency

There are reports Napoli offered up to €4.2m per season wages to Liverpool defender Daniel Agger.
The Partenopei already strengthened their back line following injuries to Giandomenico Mesto and Juan Camilo Zuniga, signing Anthony Reveillere on a Bosman.

It's suggested Napoli are prepared to pay €4.2m per season in a four-year contract, an increase of €200,000 on his current wages.

People love to compare their home state with others around the country. New York thinks of itself as the capital of the world, California is the capital of cool, West Virginia is the capital of…uh…miner deaths? But which states have garnered the reputation as being the most sexually active?
Well a new study was released that shows which states in the Union have the highest rates of STDs, as well as which countries in Europe. The researches combed through a whole list of government documents to come up with their statistics, and some of the results are surprising.
First, here's a comparison of STD rates in Europe and the United States.
Couple of questions: Why the heck are there so many more cases of gonorrhea in the United States in 1980? And why is chlamydia running rampant in the States? Here's a chart showing the rise of the clap over time:
It's like watching the time lapse of a plague. You'd think since European countries are more known for their sexual openness (we're looking at you, France and Italy!), they'd have a lot more cases of genital ailments. But apparently when you live in a country where people don't teach you that using condoms is akin to spitting in God's face, people tend to take a lot more precautions.
Since we're on the subject, here's a chart showing the states with the highest rates of various diseases.
Lot of Southern states in that chart, which isn't really a surprise. No offense, Alabama, but it's not like your state has a sterling reputation for being on the forefront of modern thought. (See: the Civil Rights Movement for further reference.)
The group also released data on which European countries have the highest rates of STDs.
I'm pretty sure most of these countries on the list are pretty cold. So I'm assuming their citizens are stuck indoors all day with nothing to do, so they just get freaky with each other. And since it's freezing out, they probably don't want to walk all the way to 7/11 or whatever their country's version of a cheap convenience store where you won't run into anybody you know when buying condoms.
Perhaps these statistics will inspire Americans to begin acting in more healthy ways. After all, we can't let the Europeans beat us in this. We're better than that, America!

This world exists as a place for me to post fiction which is not part of Tales of Okuri or part of my manga, but still takes place in the Marcus Wolfe Timeline. Most fiction will be an explanation of how the character got the way they are now, but some may not. You should definitely expect to see some PeinXKonan.

As different as chalk & cheese
In recent decades, Independence Day speeches have been notoriously repetitive, regardless of the speaker. While this holds true for this year too, Narendra Modi's speech added an extra dash of colour.india Updated: Sep 12, 2013 16:59 IST
In recent decades, Independence Day speeches have been notoriously repetitive, regardless of the speaker. While this holds true for this year too, Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi's speech added an extra dash of colour to the national day proceedings.
Yet, at the end of Mr Modi's 45-minute speech one only wished he had chosen another day for his riposte from Bhuj to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's 30-minute Independence Day address from the ramparts of the Red Fort. If Mr Modi had chosen another occasion for his speech, it would have helped people critique his speech better.
His wordy fusillade after the PM's address robbed the event of its solemnity. National prestige cannot be expended at the altar of competitive electoral politics. August 15 is best commemorated through a sober reflection on our strengths and shortcomings.
When compared with his maiden I-Day speech of 2004 after the UPA wrested power from the NDA, the PM's 10th consecutive address — which could well be his swan song — drew little by way of applause.
His assertions over measures to combat corruption were tenuous; the successes cited in the social and infrastructure sector rang a trifle hollow as the nation contends with a sluggish economy, rising inflation and unemployment, a depreciating rupee and inflamed borders with Pakistan.
Mr Modi's bid to juxtapose the PM's speech with President Pranab Mukherjee's address on August 14 wasn't out of place. The president's lament over the decline of institutions, rising profligacy, personal enrichment, intolerance, discourtesy in behaviour and disrespect for authority that has eroded our work culture, carried conviction. The presidential reprimand applied to all: the judiciary, the bureaucracy and to civil society.
But a large part of it was addressed to the political class, the Gujarat chief minister not excluded. The PM could have better articulated national sentiments by delivering a no-nonsense message to Pakistan over recent incidents along the Line of Control.
The references to Pakistan in his speech were per forma: "Recently there was a dastardly attack on our jawans on the LoC with Pakistan.
We will take all possible steps to prevent such incidents in future." Now, one didn't expect the PM to take recourse to Mr Modi's jingoistic pitch but a formulation on the lines of the resolution Parliament passed the previous day would have been more appropriate.
What the UPA achieved in the past decade was actually packaged better in the president's address: "We have given our citizens entitlements backed by legal guarantees in terms of right to employment, education, food and information.
We now have to ensure that these lead to their real empowerment." Encouraging words from the president at a time when all we get to hear is gloom and doom.
