To foster youth energy into social enterpreneurship in Egypt, government and international organizations are necessary
Young Egyptians have an amazing potential that is not yet being utilized. We have a well-established business sector, but with the establishment and success comes an aversion to trying new things. To innovating. While the business sector has made incredible impact on my country, there are still gaps. Gaps in jobs and gaps in services that would allow our most marginalized citizens to escape poverty. This is where entrepreneurs, especially young ones, can help.

U.S. farm income is expected to rise significantly from 2002 to 2003, but will rise only marginally over the next 10 years, according to a Food and Agricultural Policy Institute report.
The report, FAPRI's 2003 U.S. Baseline Briefing Book, is not a forecast of what will happen, but a projection of what could happen under a particular set of assumptions including:
- Average weather conditions prevailing in the United States and around the world.
- U.S. and world economies growing as projected.
- Productivity increasing in line with previous trends.
One highlight of the report, which was released in early March, is the return of net farm income to more normal levels in 2003, after an off year in 2002, according to Brian Willott, FAPRI research associate. "We show that income is coming back in 2003. That's the major story out of the baseline."
The decline in income was due to a $10.6-billion drop in livestock receipts, reduced government payments due to higher prices and slow signup for 2002 farm bill payments, according to Willott.
Better livestock prices and production and a $5-billion increase in farm payments indicate that farm income "will be back in 2003, up to $47.9 billion, compared to $32 billion in 2002."
The baseline report is bearish in the short term for corn, beans and wheat but contains some good price news for cotton and rice, noted Willott. Grain prices moved this year up after dry weather in 2002 curtailed production in the United States and in other places around the world. "We assume normal weather in our baseline. So the drought breaks and prices move back down.
For 2003, the report projects cotton acreage close to 14 million acres — and rebounding cotton prices. "Stocks for cotton are still fairly snug, which is giving us some support. Prices have really been in the doldrums. We see (in the baseline) that prices are better than 46 cents a pound. If you look at the Board of Trade today, you would think that forecast is already too low."
Willott noted that 2002 "was a very tough year for rice producers with cash rice prices averaging about $3.90 per cwt. That's pretty pathetic when you get rice prices down to the range of wheat prices. For 2003, we see rice prices above $4 to a $4.44 average which will definitely help farmers returns."
For long term, "we don't see corn prices gaining as much as we've forecast in years past. We see the season average farm price for corn at 10 years out at only $2.25. Our export picture for corn is not as bullish as it used to be when everyone in the world thought China was going to buy a lot of grain every year."
The long-term picture for soybeans "is going to be tempered by the outlook for South America," Willott said. "We show soybean prices in the last year of our baseline at $5.19.
"For cotton, prices are going to be good in the medium term, but for the long term they stay fairly flat above 55 cents. But there are lot of problems in the domestic milling industry for cotton where some of our demand is going overseas."
Net farm income is projected to grow only modestly over the 10 years of the baseline, according to Willott, from about $48 billion in 2003 to a little over $50 billion in 2012.
"There will always be sectors that do well and individual farms that do well," Willott said. "What it shows overall is that (the next 10 years) will not be the golden age that people used to forecast would be right around the corner for agriculture.
But a bullish U.S. scenario could come true, "if we see more export growth than this baseline assumes. And we need to see more domestic growth that this baseline assumes.
"For example, we don't assume that there is a renewable fuels standard for ethanol that would require some ethanol in all the gasolines. If that comes along, that changes this baseline. Then we would start talking about a lot more domestic demand for corn."
The baseline report doesn't assume any extremes in supply and demand either, and perhaps it's best that agriculture not get too optimistic or pessimistic about the coming years.
"It's funny how perceptions have changed from 'China is going to help us' to 'Brazil is going to kill us' in the short term," Willott said. "We were probably too doggone bullish (about China) and we're probably too doggone bearish (about South America) now."
More on the report:
- Reduced 2002 production has led to higher prices this year for corn, soybeans and wheat. Assuming a return to normal yields, projected prices for all three crops are projected to fall in 2003-04.
- Over the next five year years, average market prices are slightly above loan rates for corn, soybeans and wheat but below loan rates for cotton and rice.
- Higher crop prices and returns will lead to a 3.7-million acre projected increase in total area planted in the United States to 10 major crops in 2003. From 2004 to 2012, the total area planted is projected to be stable at 255 million acres, a level similar to the 1999-2002 average.
- Projected net outlays by the Commodity Credit Corporation total $175.8 billion over fiscal years 2003 to 2012.
- Including crop insurance and conservation programs, total mandatory outlays total $225.2 billion over fiscal years 2003 to 2012.
FAPRI prepares a set of baseline projections that provide information about the outlook for agricultural markets, farm program spending, farm income and a variety of other indicators. The baseline will serve as the point of comparison for analyses of alternative policy options.

After CNN's Piers Morgan got spanked on national television this week by Gun Owners of America President Larry Pratt, people took to the White House petition site calling for the British host to be deported from the U.S. over his gun control views. Yes, I know, it won't do any good to do that, but still it's interesting to see the amount of people participating in the petition.
The petition only went up on the 21st of December and has already garnered 33,360 signatures as of the writing of this article. There is another similar petition that has also received far less signatures.
The petition reads:
Trending: These 6 Democrat Senators Sold Out Jewish Terror Victims To Restore Cash To Islamic Jihadis
British Citizen and CNN television host Piers Morgan is engaged in a hostile attack against the U.S. Constitution by targeting the Second Amendment. We demand that Mr. Morgan be deported immediately for his effort to undermine the Bill of Rights and for exploiting his position as a national network television host to stage attacks against the rights of American citizens.
I don't expect much by way of this except to say that Piers Morgan is probably enjoying a lot of publicity over this. After all, even bad publicity is still publicity and since CNN is drowning in the ratings of viewers. This only further helps him.
In fact, the Associated Press said that he seemed "unfazed - and even amused." Apparently he replied on Twitter for those petitioning his deportation to "bring it on." He followed it up with another Tweet asking if any other countries would have him.
If I do get deported from America for wanting fewer gun murders, are there any other countries that will have me? #havebaggagewilltravel
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 24, 2012
I was actually thinking since he touts how the United Kingdom is so great, why in the world doesn't he just go live there? I mean why would you want to live in America if you think it's such a terrible place and filled with such "absolutely stupid" people. This is how he referred to Mr. Pratt.
Furthermore, I actually think freedom of speech is a good thing here. Larry Pratt was able to profoundly demonstrate what a foolish, ignorant, emotional, silly, "out to lunch," non-thinking moron that Morgan is. Again, we have the First Amendment to thank for that!
While I have similar sentiments over Morgan as many of these who sign the petition have, I'd just like to remind everyone that the last time the Brits attempted to tell Americans what to do they got their rears handed to them and we sent them packing back across the pond.Don't forget to Like Freedom Outpost on Facebook, Google Plus, & Twitter.

I was a little confused by this Robin Hanson post. He cites with approval the fact that since 1970 40% of all the extra consumption in the world has occurred in the United States. Below are the top 30 gainers in terms of tens of billions of dollars a year.
United States 583, Japan 183, China 103, United Kingdom 73, Germany 63, France 53, India 47, Brazil 47, Italy 39, Canada 37, Mexico 37, Spain 28, Indonesia 14, Netherlands 11, Greece 9, South Africa 8, Thailand 8, Switzerland 8, Belgium 8, Austria 7, Colombia 7, Sweden 7, Philippines 7, Norway 7, Malaysia 7, Portugal 6, Chile 6, Finland 5, Ireland 5, Denmark 4. (source)
Robin argues that this is argument against Tyler's notion of a slow down in technological innovation. But the population of the US is 48% bigger in 2010 (310,000,000) than in 1970 (209,000,000). At first I couldn't see why this would counts as evidence against some notion of a slow down in intensive growth. The US got more from more which is great for all those people involved, but it is not evidence we can get more from less, is it?
Well, in a way it is, although you have to denationalise your perspective. The US does have an overwhelming lead in one "technology"; that of receiving and assimilating migrants. The factors behind this are geographical, historical and cultural, but it still as a really important technology in terms of increasing "our" productive and consumptive capacity.
The productivity of millions of people has been hugely increased simply by them moving across a border. Allowing more migration is an innovation that can make many people better off by improving their productivity. But it is a technology which cannot be excercised by a single firm, it is better thought of as a society-wide innovation akin to germ theory or corporation law.

First, Steve Francis (1998-99), through his charitable foundation, donated $70,000 towards renovating a park in Takoma Park near where he grew up. Excerpts from Montgomery County's Gazette newspaper:
Behind him was a new basketball court with glass backboards, padded stanchions and his signature, painted between the half-court and 3-point lines, part of the $70,000 donation the Steve Francis Foundation made to Montgomery County Parks to renovate Takoma-Piney Branch Local Park. [...]
The skinny, trash-talking kid from the Park Ritchie apartments on Maple Avenue stood in front of a crowd at the ribbon-cutting ceremony Sunday, and spoke about what he hoped the rebuilt park would mean to the hometown that meant so much to him. [...]
Francis now lives in the Houston area with his wife and children. He toured the park, which also has a pavilion dedicated to his mother, a skateboard park, volleyball court and playground, for the first time on May 31.
Next, Walt Williams (1988-1992) is training for the Catoctin Challenge, a 100-mile charity bike ride through the Catoctin Mountains to raise money for Camp Greentop, a summer camp that serves disabled children and adults near Thurmont, MD. Excerpts from the Baltimore Sun:
So when Williams, 42, recently learned about the Catoctin Challenge, a 100-mile charity bike ride through the Catoctin Mountains, it didn't take him long to make his move.
"Honestly, about 10 seconds into talking, he's like, 'Oh, yeah, I'd love to do it,'" said Phil Heffler, the chair and founder of the Catoctin Challenge. "He hadn't ridden a bike in years, but he wanted to raise money. He thought it was a great idea to raise money for a good cause."
Williams hopes to raise $50,000 from friends and supporters for Camp Greentop, a summer camp in Catoctin National Park that serves about 300 disabled children and adults annually. The money will help send low-income individuals to the camp.
For Williams, the Challenge seemed like a good opportunity to get more involved in one of his favorite organizations. The financial adviser has served as a member of the board of directors for the League for People with Disabilities — the agency that runs Camp Greentop — for more than a year, and he was interested in ways to further support its mission.

Honors & Awards
All-Big Ten Freshman Team (ESPN.com, 2011)
First True Freshman Offensive Lineman in School History to Start Season Opener
Most Starts by a True Freshman Offensive Lineman in School History (4, 2011)
2012 Outlook
Offensive tackle Tyler Moore made history in 2011, becoming the first Nebraska true freshman ever to start on the offensive line in a season opener. The 6-6, 305-pound Moore started the first four games at right tackle, registering the most starts ever for a Husker true freshman offensive lineman. Moore went on to earn freshman All-Big Ten honors from ESPN.com for his efforts last season.
Moore is one of Nebraska's two most experienced tackles entering the fall along with junior Jeremiah Sirles, while juniors Brent Qvale and Andrew Rodriguez will also compete for starting jobs at tackle.
2011 (Freshman)
Moore joined the program in January of 2011 and started the first four contests, and played in nine games overall. With Moore in the starting lineup, Nebraska racked up better than 200 rushing yards in all four games, including 300-plus yard rushing outputs against Washington and Wyoming. Moore became just the 10th true freshman offensive lineman to see action for Nebraska since 1973 when freshmen regained eligibility.
Before Nebraska (Countryside HS)
Moore was part of a strong group of line prospects in the 2011 recruiting class. He joined the Nebraska program from Countryside High School in Clearwater, Fla., and gave NU at least one signee from the Sunshine State in nine of the past 10 years.
Moore was regarded as one of the top offensive line prospects in the country after helping his team to a 12-1 record in 2010, and a trip to the regional finals. The Cougar offense rushed for better than 2,900 yards and 45 rushing touchdowns behind Moore's powerful blocking. As a junior, Moore helped Countryside to an 11-2 record and the offense also produced strong rushing numbers with better than 225 rushing yards per game. Moore was chosen as a Class 5A all-state pick during his junior season. Moore was a three-year starter at Countryside, first breaking into the lineup in the season opener of his sophomore year.
Following his senior season, Moore played for the East team in the U.S. Army All-Star game in San Antonio. He was ranked among the top 100 overall prospects in the nation according to Rivals.com and among the top 15 players in Florida by both Rivals and Super Prep Magazine. Moore committed to the Huskers during his junior season and did not take any other visits, but did receive dozens of offers, including Florida, Ohio State and Stanford.
Tyler was born on Jan. 3, 1993, and is the son of Brian Moore and Kim Sorenson. He is majoring in business administration. Moore's father, Brian, played tight end for the Huskers in the 1980s, earning a letter in 1985. Tyler is the cousin of former NU defensive end Jay Moore (2002-06).

Nursing Clinicals
Nursing clinicals are what really get you ready for working in the health care setting. During clinicals, you will spend time working side by side with actual nurses, so you can get a feel for what it is they actually do. Many students find clinicals to be stressful at first. You worry about whether you will make a mistake that could actually harm a patient. Nursing students joke about this ("I made it through clinicals today with out killing anyone!") but the truth of the matter is that you can find yourself in some very stressful situations.
Mental Preparation
Be prepared for an adjustment to this pressure. It does get better as you build your confidence! Your best approach is to use your common sense. Don't do anything that doesn't appear to be safe or that you do not understand completely. Never be afraid to ask questions. If you feel like you are at the bottom of the totem pole and people are looking down on you, don't. Every single person in the hospital from the Director of Medicine to an X-ray technician started out as a student at one point in their career.

Clinical Skills You Will Develop:
No matter what RN program you enter, the essential core skills will be similar.
You will learn to collect and analyze data about a client, the first step in delivering care. Assessment often involve collecting information on a patient's physiological status, but also may include psychological, sociocultural, spiritual, economic, and life-style factors as well. For example, a nurse's assessment of pain includes not only the physical causes and features of the pain, but the patient's responses to the pain—such as an inability to sleep, difficulty eating, social withdrawal, anger directed at hospital staff, fear, or request for excessive pain mediation.
The diagnosis is your clinical judgment about the patients needs and progress. The diagnosis should involve a holistic view of supporting recovery. In addition pain status, a diagnosis may also include that the pain has caused other psychological, social, or nutritional problems, or has the potential to cause complications. The diagnosis is the basis for your care plan.
Based on the assessment and diagnosis, you will set measurable and achievable short- and long-term progress goals. This might include moving from bed to chair at three times per day (observable, measurable goal); maintaining adequate nutrition by eating smaller, more frequent meals; resolving conflict through counseling, or managing pain through adequate medication. A follow up assessment plan and goals are written in the patient's care plan so that all health professionals (including other nurses) caring for the patient can access it.
Nursing care is implemented according to your care plan. Care is documented in the patient's record.
Both the patient's status and the effectiveness of the care must be continuously assessed, and the care can be plan modified as needed.
Many nursing students worry about whether or not they are getting enough clinical skills. These days, many nursing schools are using clinical simulation labs to teach nursing skills. In the lab students can practice their skills on mannequins that have been specially designed to simulate actual medical conditions.

text: The Ipswich Mills Collection contains the records of a textile company with branches in Ipswich, Lowell, South Boston, and Gloucester, Massachusetts, and in Belmont, New Hampshire. The company was organized by Amos Lawrence in 1868 and continued in operation until 1929. Fragmentary and summary payroll records in the collection give no names or other indication of the gender identity of the workers. However, the collection does contain information on employee relations with women workers. A 1923 company appeal to promote its hosiery netted almost one hundred handwritten letters from employees, many of them women. Most, but not all, were positive. A company nurse responded that her friends complained that Ipswich hosiery "does not keep its shape after washing." It netted an enraged memo from the company treasurer, Russell Leonard, who responded with a memo to his secretary: "I wish you would try to determine whether [she] is doing the 'boosting' work that she should. A nurse, with us, ought to be a pusher, and I have always had a feeling that Miss M is not entirely with us. After some period of investigation, should like your frank opinion. Incidentally, find out if she wears Ipswich." In 1925, the nurse was still working for Ipswich.

If you've been waiting for Siri on the iPad as much as we have, you'll be happy to hear that Apple's voice-activated virtual assistant should make its way to the iPad at the expected iOS 6 announcement at WWDC 2012 this week. Rumor has it that everything except the phone functions will be available, including music handling, calendar assistance, reminder integration, web search, and all of the other wonderful stuff you'd expect from Siri. The layout will apparently be a little bit different, given the screen size. The Siri icon will apparently slide up from the bottom followed by a pop-up window overlaying your current screen.
On the downside, it's likely that only the new iPad will be eligible for the new feature. The source of this rumor brushed off any notion that Siri depended on a particular microphone in order to work properly, which is good news for those with new iPads, but that also serves as a painful reminder of Apple's leaning towards force obsolescence. Yeah, they have to keep selling iStuff, but it sure would be nice if they offered better support for early adopters when it comes to cool features like Siri.
Siri made its first baby steps into the tablet world with the new iPad's dictation engine, though it was a far cry from the full-blown virtual assistant introduced on the iPhone 4S. One would hope that Siri would be able to graduate from beta status before finding its way onto the iPad, especially if the celebrity ads are vastly misrepresenting its capabilities.
We've heard that Siri would be coming to the iPad before, so it's good to have the rumor doubly confirmed, especially right before WWDC 2012. Have any of you really been itching to get Siri on your iPad? Is it something you use regularly, or just a fun gimmick? How stung would you be if Siri wasn't made available for the iPad 2? Is the voice recognition quality good enough to be a serious concern at all right now?

Raymond James boasts that its list of top picks for a year tends to beat – no, cream — the market.
As it publishes its list for 2014 — 13 stocks this time — MarketWatch looks at how the rest of Wall Street judges its choices.
Perhaps not surprisingly, almost all get a thumbs up from most analysts who cover the stock, based on FactSet compilations. But there are some outliers.
The biggest is Intuit Inc. , a $21.88 billion company known for its TurboTax tax-preparation software and its QuickBooks accounting program. Just 35% of analysts who cover it give the stock a buy or overweight rating, while 60% say hold and the final 5% say sell.
Raymond James analyst Wayne Johnson is focused on the rollout of a cloud-based QuickBooks platform called Harmony and the prospects for higher recurring revenue and margin expansion. While he notes Intuit hasn't met his (and the Street's) expectations for the past two years, reduced expectations for TuboTax means the company should at least meet expectations. He writes:
"All in, we believe Intuit could post high-single digit long-term growth, modest margin expansion, and low double-digit or better EPS growth driven in part by solid subscriber growth in the QuickBooks ecosystem."

Another Raymond James pick that hasn't swayed most analysts is Advanced Auto Parts Inc. , with a market cap of $8.59 billion. Just 43% say buy or overweight, with the rest at hold. And Praxair Inc. , a $39 billion company, has buy recommendations from just half of its analyst universe, while 45% say hold and 4.5% say sell.
The only repeat from last year\'s list is Ctrip.com International Ltd. , a Chinese travel website with American depositary shares that trade on Nasdaq. The stock soared in 2013 and is down by almost double digits six weeks into the 2014 tally.
To put the list together, Raymond James starts by evaluating its analysts against a list of criteria. This time, 38 of 54 made the list. Then each can submit just one pick, although not all chose to. In fact, the list over the years has ranged from just eight names to 15.
Among the parameters analysts must consider: The stock price can't be under $10, $10 million in daily trading volume over the last 20 sessions and no "high risk" or "venture risk" suitability ratings. A stock can't be on the list more than two years in a row.
Unlike top-down portfolios that begin with a look at the economy and what sectors will do well, this is all bottom-up. Every pick that meets the criteria is included. It also won\'t change as analysts change their views, unless a company is acquired and stops trading.
"Ours is what stocks do we have the most faith and confidence in," said David Henwood, the firm's chief investment officer.
Unlike other high-conviction lists that it and other firms publish, this one won't change for the rest of the year.
Performance is tallied over 55 weeks — from when the list is released to clients (generally between Dec. 6 and Dec. 10 — Friday is when the list was revealed more broadly) to the end of the next calendar year. The 2013 list delivered a total return of 49.3%, compared with the S&P's 33.7% over the same time period.
In 18 years, the list has lagged the S&P just three times. Over 18 years, the list has leapt an average of 31.5% over the 55 weeks, compared to 11.8% for the S&P, Henwood notes.
Here's this year's full list, followed by the breakdown of analyst views by overweight/buy, hold, and underweight/sell, as compiled by FactSet:
Advance Auto Parts Inc. : 43%/57%/0%
Antero Resources Corp. : 83%/17%/0%
Cameron International Corp. : 67%/33%/0%
Copa Holdings S.A. : 88%/12%/6%
Ctrip.com International Ltd. : 73%/18%/9%
J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. : 75%/22%/3%
Newell Rubbermaid Inc. : 75%/25%/0%
Quintiles Transnational Holdings : 67%/27%/7%
Salesforce.com Inc. : 87%/4%/9%

Weezer Drummer Pat Wilson Catches Frisbee While Performing, Doesn't Miss a Beat
Drummers are often the unsung members of the band, but it does take some skill to keep the beat and be a group's rhythmic compass. So that makes what Weezer drummer Pat Wilson did over the weekend all the more impressive.
Sure, we've seen drummers toss and catch their sticks while staying on beat, but often times the drummer has choreographed that ahead of time and is well aware of when to pull off such a trick. But when Wilson noticed a Frisbee zinging towards the stage during the band's performance in St. Augustine, Fla., he reacted as many people would, reflexively reaching up to grab it as it whizzed toward him.
What makes it all the more impressive is that Wilson didn't miss a beat as the band performed their classic hit 'Beverly Hills.' You can hear the crowd applaud at the feat, while a perplexed Rivers Cuomo plays on. Check out the fan shot video of Wilson's Frisbee catch on YouTube above or Instagram below.

Watch the Men's 4x200 - World Relays
Sprinting sensation Carvin Nkanata was both honored and humbled to run for his home country, Team Kenya in the IAAF World Championship held in the Bahamas this past weekend. The Panthers senior sprinter was selected to run the second leg of the men's 4x200 meter relay. Although it was a surprise to the track nation, Nkanata and his team advanced their way into the finals and then finished fifth overall with a Kenyan national record time of 1:22.35. Nkanata's dream to compete against in the best in the world and working toward his goal of the 2016 Olympics is finally starting to unfold.
"It was awesome experience to just get out there and be out on a national stage representing my country and my family, but it was also a very humbling moment for me" Nkanata said. "I met my new teammates who I will be competing with in the long run. Overall, it an amazing experience and a major accomplishment for myself."
"I was a little nervous at first, because when the gun went off I realized this was really happening for me," Carvin added. "However, I was able to do what I normally do and executed the race to the best of my ability. A lot of people did not expect us to make it back to the finals because Kenya is not known for their sprints, but when we made it back we were able to show that Kenya has potential to be a big threat in the future."

The Seattle Seahawks have postponed a visit with free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick after he reportedly declined to stop kneeling during the national anthem next season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Schefter tweeted that the team arranged for Kaepernick to work out for them this week. He also reported that Seattle may still consider bringing him in for a tryout, though a final decision has not been made.
According to Schefter, the Seahawks reached out to Kaepernick two weeks ago to schedule a visit to the team's facility. A source told ESPN the team wanted to know that the quarterback wouldn't kneel during the upcoming season, but Kaepernick was not willing to guarantee that to the club.
Schefter reported Kaepernick had a deposition with NFL attorneys in New York. The deposition is related to the free agent's lawsuit against the NFL asserting owners colluded to keep him out of the league because of his protests during the anthem.
Kaepernick has been out of the NFL since 2016. As a member of the San Francisco 49ers in 2016, the quarterback began kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial and social injustice, and police brutality against African Americans and other people of color.
Kaepernick left the Niners later that year, and ESPN reported the team would have released him had he not opted to leave.
The movement grew even larger in 2017 as more NFL players began to kneel during the national anthem.
President Donald Trump called for the firing of players who kneeled during the anthem. Following his comments, he tweeted, "Very important that NFL players STAND tomorrow, and always for the playing of our National Anthem. Respect our Flag and our Country!"
In November 2017, Kaepernick was named GQ's "Citizen of the Year." In the GQ article, the free agent says he wanted to participate in the story to set the record straight as to why he held protests during the national anthem.
Trump and other critics attempted to change the narrative by claiming that Kaepernick's kneeling during the anthem was unpatriotic.
Reports later surfaced that NFL owners were considering requiring their players to stand during the national anthem.
Kaepernick filed a grievance in October 2017 against the NFL accusing owners of collusion. He began the process of filing the grievance under the league's Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
Supporters of Kaepernick have criticized the NFL owners for not giving him a job. Instead, teams have chosen to sign other quarterbacks with far less experience and less impressive resumes. In 2017, several starting quarterbacks played inconsistent or suffered season ending injuries.
In six NFL seasons, Kaepernick has thrown for 12,271 yards, 72 touchdowns and 30 interceptions with a completion percentage of 59.8, while rushing for 2,300 yards and 13 touchdowns. He has a career quarterback rating of 88.9 and has appeared in two NFC Championship games and Super Bowl XLVII.
Kaepernick finished with 2,241 yards passing, 16 touchdowns and four interceptions while rushing for 468 yards and two scores as a part of a 49ers team that finished 2-14 in 2016.

Senate candidate Cory Gardner has released a pair of campaign ads reaching out to Colorado's all-important centrist voters, who have soured on some GOP positions, and cast himself as a "new kind of Republican" who supports over-the-counter birth control pills and renewable energy.
The TV spots released this week come in a close race against Democratic Sen. Mark Udall in a swing state that has become increasingly reluctant to elect conservatives as coastal transplants have pushed the politics to the left.
Continue Reading Below
Democrats have won every top-of-the-ticket statewide race in Colorado since 2004, and Udall and his allies have followed the established playbook by attacking Gardner as being against reproductive rights and the environment.
But Gardner, a U.S. House representative, has hit back with his new ads.
In the first, which launched Monday, Gardner walks past wind turbines and asks, "So what's a Republican, like me, doing at a wind farm?" He notes that he co-authored legislation, backed by a former Democratic governor, to create a state agency to support new Colorado renewable energy businesses. The ad's female narrator calls Gardner "a new kind of Republican."
Then, in a spot unveiled Tuesday, Gardner, who is anti-abortion, highlights his proposal to make birth control pills available without a prescription. Gardner tells a mostly-female audience in the ad that Udall "wants to keep government bureaucrats between you and your health care plan."
Gardner's campaign and other conservatives say the congressman is responding to a Democratic caricature of his positions.
But Democrats say Gardner is trying to sell himself as a centrist in the line of Udall, a well-known environmentalist and abortion rights supporter.
They noted that Gardner's birth control ad comes after Udall and others hammered him for his prior support of measures that could outlaw some forms of birth control. Gardner has since disavowed one of the criticized proposals.
"Unlike Congressman Gardner, I don't see access to contraception and family planning services as election-year gimmicks," Udall said in a statement. "They're fundamental rights that we must protect. And Coloradans know that I'll do just that."
Seth Masket, a political scientist at the University of Denver, said Gardner's ads are clearly "on Democratic turf" but changing positions and emphasis may not be damaging.
"It's easy to attack a candidate who does that as a flip-flopper" but there's not much evidence showing that to be politically damaging, Masket said. However, "taking a wrong stance on an issue important to voters can hurt a candidate," he said.
Republicans need to net six Senate seats in November to win control of the chamber.
Most polls show Gardner is effectively tied with Udall, with the Democratic incumbent maintaining an edge among women.
Women not registered with either party in the Denver suburbs usually decide statewide elections in Colorado and both campaigns are furiously trying to appeal to that demographic.

Twilight: God's Promised Presence
by the Rev. Andrew Kuyvenhoven
Monthly Theme:
Isaiah's God is the Holy One of Israel. In God's presence we have to be morally clean. God has chosen his Servant, who will rule in righteousness in a kingdom of peace.
Bible Reading:
Isaiah 43:1–7
Isaiah 43:1–7
Bible Text:
"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you ... When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned" (Isa. 43:2).
If you belong to Christ, the promise of this text is for you. Originally God spoke these words to Israel—or to the remnant of that nation. "I created and formed you as my own nation;' the Lord said, "and I promise not to forsake you in the floods and in the fire." "I'd rather give up three Gentile nations as the price of keeping you." "I love you; I have called you by your name; you are mine."
All these things God has said to us in Christ. He did not give up other nations for us, but he gave up his own Son as a ransom to make us his own. He called us by name and baptized us into his Name. No power in heaven or on earth can separate us from God's love in Christ Jesus.
This doesn't mean that we will never have to go through deep waters. We may have to walk through the fire, so to speak. Anyone who says that God has promised to keep us from pain, danger, hard trials, and unwelcome sufferings is not being true to God's Word. God has never promised us an easy journey.
However, God does say here that when we pass through the waters, he will be with us. When we go through the river, we will not drown. And when we walk through the fire, we will not be consumed, because God himself will be with us.
There may be a tough road ahead, but we travel with God.
We may get into deep water, but we will not be alone.
Andrew Kuyvenhoven's Daylight, a modern devotional classic, was originally published in 1994. This edition is copyright by Faith Alive Christian Resources, from whom may be ordered Daylight, the predecessor of Twilight.
A man of many accomplishments, Andrew Kuyvenhoven is probably best known for his contributions to Today (formerly The Family Altar), a widely-used monthly devotional booklet associated with the Back to God Hour. Unless otherwise indicated, Scripture quotations for this edition of Twilight are from the New International Version ,

Over the past five-or-so years we've seen a few breakout websites that have either directly or indirectly changed the face of porn. One is clearly a boon, while the other is a more complicated bedfellow. Twitter has assisted pornstars in breaking down the barriers between them and their fans, allowing for 24/7 contact with those that made their career, and it has been embraced by almost every pornstar this porn-filled noggin can think of! Hit up a list of pornstar Tweeters and you'll soon enough find photos of Katie St. Ives wearing nothing but a fedora and a cigarette or Bobbi Starr's blog posts addressing the state of the adult industry; both examples of the stellar additions to the porn world made possible by Twitter.
The other site? Well, that'd be any one of those XXX YouTube clones popping up faster than you can complain about their horrible video quality and blatant copyright infringement. (More on those sites and their impact on the industry here.)

In a long-gone era, dreadlocked musician Rodney Whittenberg might have been described with the sobriquet, "the cat's pajamas." Now, it has become literally accurate to apply the anachronistic idiom to him. Whittenberg has joined the high-energy kid-rock group, The Cat's Pajamas, playing bass and guitar. In the release of their just-produced CD, "Backseat Driver," the band will be performing Dec. 3 at World Café Live as part of their "Peanut Butter & Jams" series.
Whittenberg is an award-winning composer, film and video scorer/producer/engineer and multi-instrumentalist. The 48-year old musician, who after nine years in Germantown moved to Plymouth Meeting, first became involved with The Cat's Pajamas in 2005. He recalled, "Keyboard wizard and just the best guy you could have as a friend, Dan Kleiman, who passed away last year, introduced me to The Cat's Pajamas. I directed their first DVD."
The scope of his involvement changed last year. "I called Janet Schreiner, the band's leader, to see what the band was up to. It turns out we started making a new DVD called 'Pajama Party,' which was released earlier this year. Janet knew that I played bass and guitar as well as other instruments. I was looking for a band to be in as a sub player.
"I thought it would only be an occasional gig. However, when songbird and guitarist Emily Bate broke her arm, the group had a CD that needed to be finished and a lot of gigs. As it turned out, I have played over 30 shows and played bass and guitar on their new CD."
The Cat's Pajamas play cool music for kids, a little of everything — jazz, swing, blues, funk, folk. Many of their young fans even dress up as cats with tails and whiskers, or they dress up as characters for The Cat's Pajamas' songs.
Whittenberg discovered his muse when he was still young. "I don't know when I was not a musician. I always credit my dad. He loved music and was always making up songs. I pretty much do now the same thing I did sitting in my parents' basement with my instruments and reel-to-reel recorders 30 years ago."
Whittenberg went to school for electronics and studied music at Settlement Music School, Temple University, Philadelphia Community College and University of the Arts. He left school to form his own band, "Dark Blonde," which appeared on television's "Star Search," forerunner to today's "American Idol" and "X Factor.".
Whittenberg's musical tastes are certainly eclectic. As a young kid in the early '70s, he loved AM radio, then shifted to rock. To this day, he loves the music of Led Zeppelin and the Beatles. He listens regularly to everything from hard core punk to the swing era jazz of Benny Goodman and Charlie Christian to the 20th century classical music of Philip Glass and Jennifer Higdon, from the '80s' glam rock of Cinderella to the heavy funk of Parliament/ Funkadelic and from Bluegrass to Blue Man Group.
Whittenberg owns and operates Melodyvision, a full service production facility, which specializes in voiceovers, music production, video production and recording as well as arts education.
"Melodyvison was my response to being a musician, an African American artist who didn't want to be limited by that. I was tired of people asking me if I was a jazz, hip hop, r & b or reggae artist. I want to do it all and do it all at a high quality. So I stated a company which took the focus off of me and put it on an entity that could be much bigger then me and could also help support other artists in making a living. And I started with the goal of composing music for Hollywood films and national TV shows."
The Cat's Pajamas will perform at World Café Live, 3025 Walnut St., on Saturday, Dec. 3, 11:30 p.m. More details at 215-222-1400 or www.worldcafelive.com.
Nathan Lerner, Director of Davenport Communications, is involved with civic and cultural affairs. He welcomes feedback at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Never thought I'd see the day where I'd be excited about a pair of heels under 4" #growingup
Photos by Cheralee Lyle
Dress- Rebecca Taylor (via Net-a-Porter), Jacket- Thrifted, Socks- c/o Soxxy, Boots- Dolce Vita
Hope everyone is gearing up for a great holiday! This dress has become my go-to holiday party dress mainly because a) it gives the illusion of a small waist (all the better to hide my week-long cupcake binge with) and b) it looks like a disco ball (just spin in circles and everyone starts dancing!).
And now, my Xmas gift to you... free socks! (wait, it gets better)
Knee high socks and I don't have a good history-- for one, they tend to make me look like a rugby player (thanks a lot, thigh genes), and secondly, they never want to stay put. I was so happy to receive these Soxxys in the mail---- they have a gel grip on the inside that keeps them from sliding down your legs and sagging around your ankles. Sagging generally = the opposite of anything that connotes sexy.
Here's how to enter:
Merry Christmas! xoxoxo

After a frenetic few weeks, the NBA offseason has mostly closed. With a few exceptions — most notably Pau Gasol, who will officially return to the San Antonio Spurs sometime in the next few weeks, veteran guards Derrick Rose, Deron Williams and Monta Ellis, and a few restricted free agents — teams have largely completed their summer shopping, and executives are beginning long-awaited summer vacations before league business restarts after Labor Day.
So now is a good time to look back at what has happened and see who the winners and losers were from this NBA offseason, one that's had plenty of player movement, intrigue and drama.

Hejaz, also spelled Hedjaz, Arabic Al-Ḥijāz, region of western Saudi Arabia, along the mountainous Red Sea coast of the Arabian Peninsula from Jordan on the north to Asir region on the south. The northern part of the province was occupied as early as the 6th century bce, when the Chaldean kings of Babylon maintained Taymāʾ as a summer capital. Later the Hejaz became a part of the Nabataean kingdom (100 bce–200 ce), the centre of which was Madāʾin Ṣāliḥ. The province was again under control of Baghdad until 1258, when it fell to the Egyptians. In 1517 it was occupied by the Turks. Nominal rule, however, remained in the hands of the sharīfs (nobles) of Mecca until the religious upheavals at the beginning of the 19th century, when the holy cities were raided by the fundamentalist Wahhābī Muslims. The Ottomans directly controlled the Hejaz after 1845 and built (1900–08) the Damascus–Medina railroad to unify their domain. In 1916, during World War I, Sharīf Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī, who claimed lineal descent from the Prophet Muhammad, revolted against Turkish rule, destroyed the railroad, and proclaimed himself the king of Hejaz. Ḥusayn's reign ended in 1924, when he abdicated in the face of a Wahhābī invasion, and in 1925 his son and successor, ʿAlī, also abdicated and left the country.
Ibn Saʿūd, the sultan of Najd, assumed the title King of Hejaz in 1926, and in 1932 Hejaz, Najd, and other districts under his control were united to form the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The economy of the region, once dependent on gold mining, is now based on pilgrimage spending, light industries (particularly at Jiddah), commerce, a limited agricultural production of dates and cereals, and the wealth generated from the oil deposits of eastern Arabia. In addition to the two holy cities of Mecca and Medina, the principal centres are Jiddah, the largest Red Sea port, Al-Ṭāʾif (a summer resort), and Yanbuʿ (Medina's port).

text: Aydogan Ozcan, whose invention of a novel lensless imaging technology for telemedicine could radically transform global health care, has now taken his work a step further. The University of California, Los Angeles engineer has created a miniature microscope, the world's smallest and lightest for telemedicine applications. The microscope, unveiled in a paper published online in the journal Lab on a Chip, builds on imaging technology known as LUCAS (Lensless Ultrawide-field Cell Monitoring Array platform based on Shadow imaging), which was developed by Ozcan, who is an assistant professor of electrical engineering at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science as well as a researcher at UCLA's California NanoSystems Institute. Instead of using a lens to magnify objects, LUCAS generates holographic images of microparticles or cells by employing an LED to illuminate the objects and a digital sensor array to capture their images. The technology can be used to image blood samples or other fluids, even in Third World countries. The prototype for a lensless microscope developed at UCLA has the approximate diameter of a US quarter. The microscope only weighs 46 g, about as much as a large chicken egg. (Image: Ozcan Research Group at UCLA) "This is a very capable and yet cost-effective microscope, shrunk into a very small package," Ozcan said. "Our goal with this project was to develop a device that can be used to improve health outcomes in resource-limited settings." The lensless microscope, in addition to being far more compact and lightweight than conventional microscopes, also obviates the need for a trained technician to analyze the images produced. Instead, images are analyzed by computer so that results are available instantaneously. Weighing 46 grams — approximately as much as a large chicken egg — the microscope is a self-contained imaging device. The only external attachments necessary are a USB connection to a smartphone, PDA or computer, which supplies the microscope with power and allows images to be uploaded for conversion into results and then sent to a hospital. Samples are loaded using a small chip that can be filled with saliva or a blood smear for health monitoring. With blood smears, the lensless microscope can accurately identify cells and particles, including red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. The technology has the potential to help monitor diseases such as malaria, HIV and tuberculosis in areas where there are great distances between people in need of health care and the facilities capable of providing it, according to Ozcan. The device can even be used to test water quality in the field following a disaster such as hurricane or earthquake. Using a couple of inexpensive add-on parts, the lensless microscope also can be converted into a differential interference contrast (DIC) microscope, also known as a Nomarski microscope. DIC microscopes are used to gain information on the density of a sample, giving the appearance of a 3-D image by putting lines and edges in stark contrast. The additional parts for conversion to a DIC microscope cost approximately $1 to $2. A number of design elements lead Ozcan to believe his lensless microscope will be a useful medical tool in resource-limited settings, such as some countries in Africa. Two key requirements for such settings are ease of use and durability. The microscope requires minimal training; because of the device's large field of view, samples do not need to be scanned or perfectly aligned in the microscope. And operating the microscope is as simple as filling a chip with a sample and sliding the chip into a slot on the side of the microscope. Because of its large aperture, the lensless microscope is also resistant to problems caused by debris clogging the light source. In addition, there are few moving parts, making the microscope fairly robust. The lensless microscope also is an example of a type of technology known as telemedicine. In resource-limited settings, tools that are portable enough to do medical tests in the field are vital. Tools such as the lensless microscope could be digitally integrated as part of a telemedicine network that connects various mobile health care providers to a central lab or hospital, filling gaps in physical infrastructure with mobile tools. The transmission connections for such networks already exist in cellular networks, which have penetrated even the most remote corners of the globe. "Making things user-friendly is what I love about being an engineer," Ozcan said. "It is very rewarding to create something that to the end-user is very simple, when in reality years of research and work went into the technology and product development." The California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) at UCLA is an integrated research center operating jointly at UCLA and UC Santa Barbara whose mission is to foster interdisciplinary collaborations for discoveries in nanosystems and nanotechnology; to train the next generation of scientists, educators and technology leaders; and to facilitate partnerships with industry, fueling economic development and the social well-being of California, the U.S. and the world. The CNSI was established in 2000 with $100 million from the state of California and an additional $250 million in federal research grants and industry funding. At the institute, scientists in the areas of biology, chemistry, biochemistry, physics, mathematics, computational science and engineering measure, modify and manipulate the building blocks of the world — atoms and molecules. These scientists benefit from an integrated laboratory culture that enables them to conduct dynamic research at the nanoscale, leading to significant breakthroughs in the areas of health, energy, the environment and information technology.
