"Through this innovative collaboration, the Internet Archive will bring significant portions of these sound archives online and to life in a way that we couldn't do alone," David Leonard, president of the Boston Public Library, says in a statement announcing the initiative.
The library's collection of 78 rpm recordings, fragile precursors to the LP that were made from shellac, will be included in the digitization effort as part of the Internet Archive's Great 78 Project, which is working to preserve more than 20 collections of obsolete sound technology.
"The simple fact of the matter is most audiovisual recordings will be lost," says George Blood, an audio preservation expert who will work on digitizing the library's collection, according to the library's statement. "These 78s are disappearing right and left. It is important that we do a good job preserving what we can get to, because there won't be a second chance."
Sweeney reports that officials from the Internet Archive have already started boxing up the recordings, which will be sent to Blood in Philadelphia. Where rights allow, the digitized recordings will be available for free streaming and download. Physical copies will be stored in San Francisco, where the Internet Archive is based.

Agricultural research is an often-overlooked way of advancing a variety of socioeconomic goals. In many cases, it can give a bigger bang for the buck than a more conventional approach of directly addressing other issues.
Not every agricultural technology has been good for society. But lots have had historic significance, and by joining Grow Further you can help choose the right ones to get funded and make history in the right way.
Economic growth
As Samuel Johnson said, "Agriculture not only gives riches to a nation, but the only riches she can call her own." No country has ever successfully developed without first modernizing its agriculture. Recent studies have provided evidence of a causal relationship.
Climate adaptation
Agriculture is one of the human activities most sensitive to climate change. The cost of developing crops that resist drought and other climatic stresses is orders of magnitude less than the investment in clean energy required to significantly reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.
National security
The prime minister of Haiti was ousted in 2008 over handling of food riots, caused by high prices that followed decades of reduced investment in agricultural research. Recent studies have demonstrated that, unless there's something about droughts in Africa that affects politics outside of their effect on agriculture, droughts lead to crop failures and crop failures make wars more likely. Anecdotal evidence links problems in agriculture to wars and terrorism worldwide.
Education and employment
Economists who subscribe to the Todaro Hypothesis believe that the only effective way to reduce urban unemployment in developing countries is to improve opportunities in rural areas. Evidence from India suggests that areas whose geography helped farmers benefit most from new agricultural innovations saw greater improvements in education.
Women and minorities
Women and minorities do not always benefit from agricultural technologies–witness the growth of slavery after the cotton gin was invented. But they definitely can see disproportionate benefits, particularly from research targeted towards fruits and vegetables (for women) and marginal lands (for minorities). One study from a Brown University professor even suggested that expanding the cultivation of tea, a crop harvested by women, reduced the selective abortion of female fetuses in China.
Health and nutrition
Improvements in nutrition and sanitation, as well as improved medical care, have played key roles in improving health and life expectancy since the 19th Century. Improving sanitation often requires expensive investments in infrastructure, while developing more nutritious crops can be done on a shoe-string budget and probably represents one of the most cost-effective ways to improve public health. Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest challenges on the horizon in health care, and better ways of keeping livestock healthy and productive without antibiotics may help to slow resistance.
Some agricultural technologies, including pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and dams to supply irrigation water, have had negative effects on the environment, while GMOs have been controversial. However, research targeted toward environmental goals can help farmers produce more with fewer inputs and less land. According to the Borlaug Hypothesis, higher productivity not only helps to feed a growing population but also reduces the amount of land needed for cultivation, leaving more for nature. Anecdotal evidence for the hypothesis can be found throughout the eastern United States, where large areas of dairy pasture have returned to forest as dairy farming has become more productive.

I've got to share something. I've been a little quiet, and I've been a little tired, but I'm beginning to feel a shift. I wanted to write about the importance of friendship, and the impact that derby relationships have had on me lately. Derby saves our souls, we say that all the time, but I'm beginning to realize that it isn't the sport or the self-challenge, or the growth even. Not all the time. Sometimes (a lot of the time) it's the people that facilitate the growth.
Derby brings all different kinds of people together, and everyone has something in them that can help someone else, even if both people don't know it. I've met some people that I have really disliked, but even they have taught me something. The girl that knocked me down over and over when I was brand new really got a lot of my ire for a while, but once I began to feel more comfortable on the track, I realized that I owed her a lot. She didn't go easy on me, and I needed it. It was tough derby love. Some of the girls I immediately disliked ended up being super toxic and awful, and they taught me the most, maybe. I learned how not to act. They taught me how not to handle criticism, defeat, and challenge. The ability to learn from other peoples' mistakes is a blessing.
Then there are the undercover angels, the ones that teach you compassion and drop little nuggets of wisdom, even if they don't mean to. The girl that always checks on me after I fall. The girl that always tells me how great I'm doing, especially when I'm really beat up. The girl that struggles in scrimmage but never, ever gives up. The girl that is always willing to try a new move, even if she might fall. You are my derby heroes and heroines. You make this sport the greatest in the world to me, and even if you never realize it, even if I never work up the courage to tell you, you've saved my soul.
I came home from a really rough pick-up game one night and ate myself sick. I felt I'd done so poorly in the scrimmage that I cried into a bag of potato chips. I don't even eat potato chips! I was a sad sight. I messaged Gravy and off-loaded all of my woes over the night's failures. She reminded me that I'd just played a game with men and women who had years and years of experience on me. She assured me that the only way to improve is to play up, and she said something that I've been holding in my mind ever since: "You're better now than you were before." Something clicked. I had this sudden realization that the MOMENT practice is done, I'm better than I was before it started. I may be beat down. I may be tired and sad. I may cry. Whatever I do or feel, I'm better than I was before.
Every time I feel down now I think about that and it motivates me. Every walk, jog, weight lifting session, yoga hour, or derby practice, I think about that. Every opportunity to skate, even if I know it will be really hard, I now take. I don't talk myself out of things the way I used to, and I accept the bad with the reward. Last Sunday I assessed up to the Advanced level of our rec league. I'm pretty sure I just barely made that cut, and I'm really ready for the challenges the next level will bring. One of the upper level skaters mentioned that the Rec A Team was holding tryouts, and that I should give it a go. Realistically, I have a ton of work ahead of me before I am at that level, but who the crap cares? What a good opportunity to get feedback on my weak points and skate with some higher level girls! Am I terrified? Yep. Have I been throwing up a little every time I think about it? Yep. It's tomorrow. I worked out super hard yesterday and my legs are destroyed. I have a lot of fear coursing through me right now (and advil), but I'm 100% pumped. Bring it on, A Team! Tesla's ready for her beat down.

Merriam-Webster defines the word resolution 5 ways, with lots of finer definitions beyond that. It's a word that can mean so many things, but they all boil down to... boiling down, making something complex simple, making something fuzzy sharp. It is the act of determining. What are you determined to do? And why do so many people this time of year hate on resolutions? Resolution is such a wonderful word!
Scroll through your Facebook feed real quick, you'll see the jaded statuses, I'm sure. "Resolutions are stupid. They don't work." "Strive to be good all the time, not just on January 1st!" You might also see some folks making huge resolution lists full of unattainable goals (yikes), and some making comical resolutions, like, "My New Year's resolution is to take a bath at least once a week! Hardy har har!" Why all the hate? Maybe people are bitter because they've seen the truth. They've seen the gym, full to bursting on January 1st, and nearly empty by January 3rd. Maybe they've failed to keep past resolutions themselves. We all have.
Well, I'm here to tell you why you SHOULD make a resolution. Not a list of resolutions, and not a dire, complicated resolution. Just one simple change. And January 1st is a nice, convenient date. It lends itself to tracking and progression. It's the beginning of something, a big, huge something that we call a year. Yes, yes, time is an unending thing, but we measure it for a reason. We're kinda obsessed as a species with measuring it. Here's what I'm saying: change begins with a decision. A decision is a resolution. So you waited until January 1st. Cool. The OCD in me loves that. Week 1, Day 1. It's so clean and nice. Let's use it. On day 1 we don't have to run a mile. We don't have to eat 1300 calories. We don't even have to turn off the TV and read a book. We just have to make a decision.
OK! Enough with the heavy stuff. ONE DECISION! You can do that, right? One year I resolved to learn how to paint my nails. Yep. That happened. And I did it! I painted them a ton, and I got super great at it. I documented it all, too. That resolution didn't rock the Earth, and it wasn't heroic, I just kinda decided I wanted to learn how to paint my nails. I decided. Even if it was dumb, who cares? I did it. I also lost a ton of weight that year. There was something about setting an attainable goal that really got me motivated to set other goals. I did way more than learn how to paint my nails. I changed my life. With all that weight gone, my resolution for 2014 was to get stronger. I did floppy push-ups and sit-ups until I could do real ones. I didn't do them all the time, and I didn't go to the gym. I started derby in the summer, and really learned my own potential and strength, I learned mental strength and toughness. I got a concussion in October and learned how to be strong in other ways. Despite sickness and struggle, I can look back at 2014 and say that I did it. I got stronger.
So, what about this year? Why not take today, January 1st, to make a decision? Just one! Make one you don't have a problem keeping. Resolve to make dinner at home more. Resolve to read a few books. As you begin to reach those attainable goals, you might just realize how empowering it is, and you might want to make more resolutions. They won't be your "New Year's Resolution," but they will be decisions. What are you determined to do?
This year, because I now have derby in my life, I will make two resolutions. WOO! TWO! One for my derby life, and one for my regular life. But, you know what? I'm not gonna tell you what they are. I think that's where some folks fall down. Don't promise the world you're going to run a marathon by December, promise yourself. Pick something you can do, a goal you know you can reach, and start walking toward it. And don't be afraid to change your mind. No one else knows your determination, so who cares if you switch it up? Journey's aren't easy, and no one is judging you (because you don't have to tell anyone, remember? If you look at your path in February and realize it was off-course, then change it. The destination is growth. It doesn't matter much how you get there. A resolution simply means picking a direction in which to travel instead of wandering aimlessly. See how big I wrote that part? It's important.
Do you have a resolution in mind? Good! Now boil it down. Make it simpler. Break it into its parts and find a common denominator. Here is an example of how to break down a decision into an attainable resolution: "I resolve to lose 50 pounds!" Ok, great! You want to lose 50 pounds. Sounds a little daunting. Losing weight = getting your health in check. Getting your health in check has a lot of parts. Pick a few parts on which to work earnestly. How about education, awareness, and food? Three simple parts. Your resolution, instead of losing 50 pounds, could be to read a book about nutrition. I bet reading that book on nutrition will open your eyes a little bit. It might inspire you to get moving, go for walks, maybe buy a fitbit and start tracking steps. It might change the way you see food, what you buy at the grocery store, and how much you eat. It might even lead to you losing some weight. Don't focus on the number on the scale, focus on the journey toward health. At the end of the year, don't ask yourself if you lost 50 pounds. Ask yourself if you experienced growth.
I can imagine someone getting to the end of this article and wondering what the DEUCE it had to do with roller derby. Everything. It has everything to do with derby. Set some goals this year. Bite-sized, attainable, helpful goals. Can't do stops with your left foot? Resolve to try left-footed stops equally with right-footed. Feel super winded in the fourth minute of your 25 in 5? Resolve to skate for 7 minutes instead of 5 each time you try. Feel sluggish, or need to improve your form? Resolve to take a speed skating class. Resolved to try some weight-lifting or cross-training. We can always improve, all of us, but we all need to see progress to stay motivated. Resolve to do something that you know will help you make positive changes. And quit hating on resolutions! Being determined isn't a bad thing.
Benched: How to Survive a Derby Injury
Derby injuries make us table-flipping mad, yo.
So you're injured. This is a full-contact sport, after all. And even though you exercise and eat right and do everything you can to take care of your body, shit's gonna happen, seemingly at the most inconvenient times. But really, when is an injury convenient? "Oh, you want to assess up to the advanced level of rec league? Here! Take a concussion!" "Oh good, you just made Texas' premier league? Better break your rib!" So while we sit here whining about the unfairness of it all, woe are we, everything is terrible, etc., we want to help you maintain your sanity while dealing with injury. We both got hurt within a day of each other, so our timeline so far has looked relatively similar:
Day 1: Everything is fine! It kind of... hurts a little, but it's totally fine. A week TOPS and I'll be back in the game!
Day 4: Still feeling overwhelmingly terrible, but it's nothing a few more days of rest can't fix, I'm sure of it!
Day 7: HOLY SHIT. I CAN'T TAKE THIS.
Day 12: This is never going to end, is it? My derby career is over. Done with. Kaput.
Day 18: Okay, I'm gonna skate today! I can't wait! I'm totally ready!
Day 19: I've made a huge mistake.
Day 25: [sits in tepid bath, sobbing]
Sound familiar? Self-pity can come on strong and swift around week 2, and most serious injuries take 6 weeks to heal at the very least, if you behave and don't struggle (spoiler, we're both super bad patients). Concussions and broken ribs have something in common: you really shouldn't be doing much of anything during recovery. Just breathing with a broken rib hurts like hellfire, and everything you do on a daily basis, derby or otherwise, involves your core. Guess where your ribs are? Your core! Concussions mean rest of all kinds. No moving OR thinking. For people who are used to thinking, making, doing, writing, reading, moving… well, it's just torture for us. How are we supposed to come out on the other side of this without a screw loose? Here are a few tips we hope you'll find useful.
What we learned (and are still learning):
· Go to the doctor. If you have to ask, "Should I see a doctor?" then the answer is YES. Don't be a dumdum.
· When you're at the doctor, bring a list and ask lots of questions! Do not leave the doctor's office wondering about something that you easily could've gotten an answer about or it will drive you crazy. Wear that doctor out.
· If you are like us, you let your skating talk for you and hide quietly in the corner when the skates come off. Do not be upset if it suddenly seems like your community is disrupted, it might just be that people never knew that you actually existed (Just kidding. We think).
...okay, that's a joke, but it's easy to feel that way when you're suddenly ripped out of your pack. If you're able, stay active in the derby community. Go to practice. Participate by blowing a whistle or holding a stopwatch. Volunteer yourself for things, like NSOing at scrimmages.
· When you feel unnatural and confused because you aren't allowed to skate, that's when you know it's become your lifestyle and is truly a part of you. Like a good kind of leech. Or The Hypnotoad. ALL GLORY.
· There was life before skating. Maybe some things you love to do got left behind when you took up derby? Try those out again. You might just find that you've missed them!
Gravy and Tesla
The Year I Did Everything
From the helmet of: Gravy
2014 was a whirlwind year. And a banner year. Just whirlwinds and banners everywhere, with me floating around somewhere in between. I was an academic. And a bum. I moved to the other side of the country. I lost myself. I found myself. I lost my mind. I found that, too. For now. I skated and skated and skated. I skated to forget. I skated to remember. I skated for the hell of it and I skated with a fiery purpose as if nothing else mattered.
In 2014, I gave my all. To everything. Mentally, physically, every part of me was used up and spit out. But it was replenished and replaced with strength, toughness, and voracity. Anyone that knows me for an extended amount of time knows that I'm very good at overwhelming myself. I want to do it all! right! now! So when I moved to Austin and the magical world of roller derby mecca opened up, I couldn't handle it. There was SO MUCH to do and I wanted to do ALL OF IT. Scratch that, I was GOING to do all of it.
Two days after coming in, I skated. I wasn't sure how to handle the heat and got heat exhaustion. Damn, Texas is hot. And damn, the Blood Shed is hotter. I started skating in the first level of rec league. I tested up to the second level. I started going to Austin Anarchy practices with my boyfriend, who skates for them. I joined Bat City Rebellion. I tested up in rec league again. I went to speed skate. I joined a co-ed team. I went to clinics. I went to Friday Night Lights when there were only 5 other people there. I went when there were 40. I officiated in bouts and scrimmages. I went to the gym. I PRd and PRd and I felt good and strong. I did hill sprints and I hated every single second of it. I bench-coached a few teams. I went to lessons. I tried out and made the top level of rec league. I skated 20 hours in one week, including 6 hours of clinic and a co-ed bout in one day. I tried out for TXRG. I made the New Girl program. I volunteered at Charleston playoffs. I learned the importance of off-skate warmups. I skated 6 days a week for 3 weeks. I did a million box jumps. I got drafted! I became a Hell Mary (Hell Yes!). This weekend we're driving to Champs. And in December we're volunteering at the World Cup.
I can definitely say that the last half of 2014 has been way better than the first. But the last few weeks specifically have been amazing. Being chosen as a New Girl and then having crazy intense practices 3-4 times a week was a dream, being taught by seasoned Texas Rollergirls and Texecutioners. I loved every minute of it. My body, not so much. She started wearing down in the third week, just because I wasn't sleeping well and was having trouble eating enough (those things are important, guys!). But I made it through. And I know that nothing my body could've told me would've made me stop (again, bad, don't do that), but luckily that was never an issue. And I'm so ready to give myself to my new league and to soak up as much as I possibly can.
It's funny to think about where I started and where I am now. I bought a pair of skates before I had a place to skate. The guy said something about not dropping a lot of money on your first pair of skates because you might quit. And I was like, "OKAY WEIRDO."
So then I found a league April of 2011 when I moved back to Huntington, WV – the Jewel City Rollergirls. Sometimes we'd have 5 people at practice. Our league never had more than 20. Everything was hard. Finding bouts without a home location to hold on. Getting people to come to practice. Doing business things. Branding ourselves. It was all a struggle. All of this while we were learning how to skate and be competitive. Learning how to be athletes for the first time, to work as a team. Trying to understand how a body could possibly hurt this bad. Am I dying?
And now, here I am a member of the Texas Rollergirls, lifting weights multiple times a week, and refusing to wear pants that don't stretch. I look back at those fresh meat pictures and I'm grateful for everything that has happened to bring me to here. I've grown up a lot. I've made a lot of friends. I found my niche and found where I finally feel like I belong. It has been a crazy journey full of strange moments, bad moments, and life-changingly wonderful moments. The great thing about roller derby is that if you want something, the power to have it is in your own hands.
From the helmet of: Tesla
Excuses: I'm fabulous at them. If they were a minimum skill, I'd pass that portion with flying colors and extra credit. If you've ever skipped practice due to anxiety, not worked out because reasons, not gone to bed or woken up on time, or eaten a whole pizza without a second thought, then you're likely a whiz with excuses, too. Excuses go hand in hand with honesty and responsibility. When you make them, and tell yourself you believe them, you're not taking responsibility OR being honest (with yourself and others).
Excuses are sly. They comfort and coddle you. They slip soft fingers into your cold hands and fill you with that warm whiskey-drink called rationalization...
"It's too hot outside to exercise. You can't go out there, you'll pass out! Oh, it's kinda nice out? Well, you're out of Nuun."
"You'll do better tomorrow." What a wonderful promise of hope and renewal. Tomorrow is a new day! Tomorrow is also the day most people quit smoking, start their diet, and clean the house. Tomorrow is convenient. I mean, it's always there, as long as you live to see it. Some people don't know if they will live to see it, and it is from those people that I think we need to take a cue. We are not promised a tomorrow. We don't deserve it. We're not entitled to it. Live today like you might not get one.
How does this apply to derby? Well, it may not apply to you. Maybe you're a rockstar that eats whole, healthy foods, commits 100% on the track, works out 5 days a week, sleeps 8 hours a night, and stays away from alcohol and tobacco. More than likely, though, you're a little on the excuse-y side, at least once in a while. You've read this far, so you must have a reason for sticking around. I'd like to admit something: I am terribly unfair to myself. I don't give myself a fair shot. Every single day, EVERY SINGLE FLIPPING DAY, I have the chance to make good choices and make progress. I have the chance to go for a walk, do 20 push-ups, jump rope in the driveway, pull out the yoga mat. I have the chance to drive to the grocery store and buy fresh greens and proteins instead of heading to grab to-go food. I have the chance to sit down and draw up meal plans, workout agendas, and goals. No one is holding me back. I choose not to do all of these things. I even get a great discount at the gym right down the road, and I don't choose to utilize it. I mean, that gym has a HOT TUB! But there are people at the gym. People! Does any of that sound familiar?
Lately I've been pulled aside by a few fellow skaters and told I have tons of potential, but I'm holding myself back. They are always so encouraging and nice, and it makes me feel really great, but also a little sad. They see me not applying myself. They hear me laughing and saying I'm only in derby for the fun, and it frustrates them a little because they think that if I only wanted it more and pushed myself, I could be really great. That is a stellar vote of confidence from some strong ladies I admire, right? So, why does it feel so awful? I am only doing derby casually, for fun, right?
Doubt creeps in. When I watch the Texas Rollergirls skate, do I feel only admiration, or do I feel aspiration? ::looks around innocently:: Me? Do I want to be a Texas Rollergirl? Do I want to be on a world class team like the Texies and skate at that level? I can't bring myself to speak the words "Yes, of course I do," because I don't think I'm capable of making it that far. I watch girls try out and and fail, and their failure is so much more skillful and spectacular than my greatest tries. I would never compare my beginning to their middle, that's just ridiculous, but I do compare my drive, focus, and determination to theirs, and I wonder if I'll ever get there. I see determination as something that comes on later, way after you've struggled. I don't seem to understand that I could be determined now if I wanted. I see how long they've been skating and how hard they've worked for their sport. Do I have what it takes to do that? Do you?
If you are just in derby for the fun, I want you to ask yourself the same questions. You might have to admit to yourself that you DO want it. You want it so bad you could just make yourself sick, but you give up before you've begun because you know you don't have a chance. You're just being realistic (that's an excuse). You are defeated before you've even tried. We all deserve a fair shake, right? A chance at a dream. If your secret, innermost dream is to be a pro-level skater, listen up: You have all the power to try. You have this one life and this one body. Don't watch everyone else skate by and not give yourself a fair chance. Those rockstar skaters didn't get where they are by whining about their life from the sofa. You know what you have to do, and so do I. If you don't want it, that's fine. But if you do... what are you waiting for? You think we have to skate for years in order to find our reason to strive for greatness? We could start right now.
So, here I am. I have a decision to make. I can continue to have a fun, flirty relationship with roller derby, or I can be a fucking committed derby skater in the greatest derby town in the world (yeah, I said it). I can eat potato chips, or I can do core exercises. I just have to decide what I want out of life and where I want to go, and then I have to take action. You don't have to be great to get started, but you do have to get started to be great. I don't know who said that, but I like it. Let's do this. Greatness starts here.
From the helmet of: Tesla
Oh, Tesla. When we are unhappy, we usually know how to become happy. We know which direction we need to travel, which mountains to climb, which floors to sweep, and which closets to purge. We know the effort we will have to make, and how to accomplish the tasks. Yet, it is at these moments when we often feel the most lost and desperate. Why should we feel this way when we know the answer? Because, the answer is hard. The tasks are tiresome, grueling, and uncomfortable. Because sitting idle is easier! It's so hard to start something when the task is large and you feel so small, but it's hard to finish something you aren't willing to start.
This is why you need to go to practice. You need to get up off the sofa, put down your smart phone, and go to practice. You need to shake the idleness from your bones and awaken your will. Being quiet and still is wonderful, but it is not productive. Sometimes you need to get your head straight and your space organized so that you can enjoy the quiet stillness. You have to wake up! You have to move. You need energy and drive to be the person you want to be, to live the life you want to live. How can you not feel alive on the track? How can you not feel life's heartbeat when you're pressed against the racing heartbeat of the pack? You'll remember your strength when you brace for impact, when you push yourself forward and inhale deeply. Your sofa may be nice, the voices and echos of your home may be comforting, but you need to go to practice.
Inspiration isn't found lying around the house. You can't find it on the bathroom counter, or in the refrigerator. You can't earn it in hours of seeking it out. Inspiration is born of experience and reflection. It hides just outside your narrow comfort zone, waiting for you to feel something, even if that something is apprehension or pain. We need inspiration to keep going, to keep creating, to keep giving, and we need all of those things in order to thrive. We need the cold eye of a stranger, and we need the warm smile of new friend. Sometimes we need those two things from the same person, to remind us of the good there is still in the world, and that we are still able to find it. You won't find anything if you don't look for it. You won't earn anything for which you don't work.
So, get up and go. Put on your sneakers, gather your gear, and go. Do something that scares you. Do it with all your heart and don't look at your feet.

Lesson 11
The Kingdom of God
(Luke 11, 17 & 21)
Introduction: I often write about the Kingdom of God and I mention it when I'm talking to others. What, exactly, is the Kingdom of God? You would hope that I have an idea of what I'm talking about, right? While I do, our lesson this week showed me I had a lot to learn to better understand what God has in mind. Let's dive into our study of the Bible and learn together!
- Kingdom of God Within
- Read Luke 17:20. How do you understand Jesus' answer to the question of when the Kingdom of God will come? (Jesus says it is not something that we can see by being alert and watching.)
- Read Luke 17:21. Why can't we see the Kingdom of God when it comes? (Because it is inside us.)
- How can the Kingdom of God be inside us?
- Read Romans 14:17. Paul gives us some concrete examples of things which are external and things which are internal. How does this help us understand the way in which the Kingdom of God is inside us? (It is an attitude brought by the Holy Spirit: joy, peace, and righteousness.)
- Read Luke 11:14-16. What charge is made against Jesus? (That His power comes from Satan.)
- Read Luke 11:17-19. What is Jesus' logical argument against this charge of being in league with Satan? (Why would Satan drive out a demon? It would defeat Satan's goal.)
- Read Luke 11:20. Notice Jesus' reference to the Kingdom of God. What does this teach us about the Kingdom of God? (It has come if we use the power of God to drive out demons.)
- Read Matthew 12:24, Matthew 12:28 and Matthew 12:31-32. In Matthew we find the same charge made against Jesus: He is working with the power of Satan to drive out demons. We also find Jesus' statement about the Kingdom of God. What is Jesus point about the unpardonable sin? (Jesus shows us that His power to heal comes from the Holy Spirit, not from Satan. If you call the work of the Holy Spirit demonic, then you have moved onto very dangerous ground!)
- Consider these two versions of the same story about Jesus driving out a demon and saying that the Kingdom of God is present. What does that teach us about how the Kingdom of God is inside us? (The Kingdom of God in us is nothing less than the Holy Spirit dwelling in us!)
- Is there any reason to believe that the Holy Spirit dwells in you? If not, why not?
- If we consider all of our spiritual priorities, shouldn't the Kingdom of God coming within be our top priority? (Compare Luke 11:2.)
- Why do you think that Jesus refers ( Luke 11:20) to the Holy Spirit being "the finger of God?"
- The Kingdom of God Without
- Read Luke 17:22. If the Kingdom of God is within, why will the disciples long for the days with Jesus? (Jesus says you will look back with longing at the days when I was physically with you.)
- Do you have a family member or a friend who has died, and you would love to re-live a day with this person?
- Read Luke 17:23-25. Jesus just got through telling us that the Kingdom of God is within. Is it more than that? (The disciples, who will miss Jesus in the future, can look forward to the coming of the Kingdom of God. That coming will light up the sky "from one end to the other.")
- Is Jesus contradicting Himself? (Jesus seems to be answering several questions related to the Kingdom of God. The main question is, "Will the Kingdom of God come now?" The answer is, "yes," it is within you, but "no," you cannot find it now by looking carefully. In the future it will come in a way that is outside of us, but "careful observation" will not be required to see it.)
- Read Luke 17:26-30. Let's just look at these verses and not think about anything you know about the background. Do these things (like eating and drinking) seem good? (Yes, they are delightful. This is a description of an enjoyable life and successful commerce.)
- What "outside information" do we have about the days of Noah and Lot? (Read Genesis 6:11-13 and Genesis 18:20-23. The people were terrible.)
- Why does Jesus talk about the good things in life when these people were doing so many bad things? (They were not paying attention to God. They did not have the Kingdom of God within.)
- Look again at Luke 17:27-29. What is the common outcome for the people of Noah's time and Sodom's place? (They are destroyed.)
- What is the timing for their destruction? (When the "good guys" leave. "Noah entered the ark." "Lot left Sodom.")
- Preparing the Kingdom Within
- Re-read Luke 17:30. Given the background we just considered, how do you understand this? (The Kingdom of God is within the righteous. When they leave, the wicked will be destroyed.)
- Do you recall Jesus said in Luke 17:20 that the Kingdom of God does not come by watching carefully for it? If the Kingdom of God is within the righteous, and God transports them to heaven at the Second Coming, the Kingdom is always with them! Why would anyone need to watch?
- Read Luke 17:31. We have one person in the house and one in the field. Why are we told not to try to go get our stuff? (If the Kingdom of God is in you, why do you need anything else?)
- Read Luke 17:32-35. Two people are working, two people are sleeping. What makes the difference whether they live or die? What made the difference with Lot's wife?(We have a picture of people engaged in normal activity. This is just like the prior reference to eating, drinking and marrying. The question is whether your primary focus is on the Kingdom of God or on your stuff and the activities of life.)
- What does Luke 17:33 mean when it says that if we try to keep our life we will lose it?(The specific example ( Luke 17:31) is going back to get our stuff. But, the larger example is being focused on our current life. All of the normal activities of life are taking place, the question is whether the Kingdom of God is within you and is your primary concern.)
- Read Luke 21:34-36. Notice that this tells us to "watch!" Let's give ourselves the benefit of the doubt and say that the worst thing in our life is being "weighed down" with "the anxieties of life." Everyone has anxieties of some sort. What is the cure for this? (If we turn these problems over to God, if we focus on the Kingdom within, our hearts will not be weighed down.)
- This idea of the Kingdom of God being inside, and being our focus, may be a new idea to you. Why does Jesus use good things, like eating, drinking, buying, selling and getting married to describe the terrible things going on in Sodom and the time of Noah? Why not just mention the sins? (The cares and concerns of life tend to take our focus away from what the Holy Spirit has in mind for us. If we focus on the Kingdom of God within, we will not wander into the terrible sins of Sodom and Noah's time.)
- Read Revelation 21:1-3. What is the announcement made from the throne of God? (God will live with humans!)
- What has not changed? (If the Holy Spirit lives in us, that is if the Kingdom of God, the "finger of God," is currently within you, then God dwells with you now! The difference is the external has changed. The wicked are gone, and we have a new heaven and a new earth.)
- Friend, would you like to join the Kingdom of God now? Would you like to dwell with God now? If so, ask forgiveness for your sins, and ask God to send His Holy Spirit to live in you. From this day forward, make your focus on the Kingdom of God living in you!
- Next week: Jesus in Jerusalem.

SAT Subject Tests are one hour long tests, used for college admissions purposes. There are about 24 different subject specific tests that are offered by Collegeboard. So how you decide 'which ones are needed?'
When it comes time to determine which SAT Subject Tests high school students should take, it's always a good idea to confirm which tests are required or recommended by specific colleges. In some cases, universities have strict requirements about the number of Subject SAT Tests that must be taken. Other colleges require specific SAT Subject Tests that must be taken. Still other universities may require SAT Subject Tests, but don't mandate the specific subjects. Finally, there are also schools that will accept SAT Subject Tests, if they benefit an applicant, irrespective of the subject.
In cases where SAT Subject Tests are accepted or recommended, but students can choose which tests to take, the best course of action is to take the SAT Subject Tests in areas of study in which the student excels. This is particularly helpful if a student is particularly strong in a subject, but no AP or equivalent course is available.
Except for the March SAT test date, SAT Subject Tests can be taken on any other SAT Test day
Below are some examples of the specific requirements or recommendations from various colleges and universities.
Colleges Which Do Not Require Subject SAT Exams
University of Maryland:
SAT or ACT is required, though the writing portion is not required. Subject SAT Tests are not required.
Penn State:
SAT or ACT is required, though the writing portion is not required. SAT Subject Tests are recommended. Does not require any SAT Subject Tests
University of South Carolina:
SAT or ACT is required, but Subject SAT Tests are not required.
University of Pittsburgh:
SAT or ACT is required, but Subject SAT Tests are not required.
Schools Which Require Subject SAT Tests
Carnegie Mellon University
The SAT or ACT with writing and 2 SAT Subject Tests are typically required, unless applying to the College of Fine Arts programs. CMU strongly favors Math and Science combination of Subject Tests for STEM related courses.
In addition to the SAT or ACT with writing, Harvard requires 2 SAT Subject Tests.
In addition to the SAT or ACT, applicants to MIT must take one SAT Subject Test in math and one SAT Subject Test in science.
Boston University:
The SAT or the ACT with writing are required. Students pursuing medical and dental programs are required to take the SAT Subject Tests in Chemistry and Math Level 2.
Georgetown requires the SAT or the ACT, yet does not require, or even consider the essay from either Test. Instead, Georgetown mandates that all applicants submit all College Board and ACT scores, and strongly recommends applicants take 3 SAT Subject Tests.
Schools Which Recommend and/or Consider SAT Subject Tests
American University:
American University requires the SAT or the ACT without writing, and recommends that homeschooled students submit 2 SAT Subject Tests.
Case Western Reserve University:
CWRU requires the SAT or ACT with writing and will consider Subject SAT Tests if submitted.
Duke University:
The SAT with essay, or the ACT with writing are required. 2 SAT Subject Tests are also recommended. Students applying to the Pratt School of Engineering should specifically take Math Level 1 or 2 SAT Subject Tests.
Northeastern University:
Northeastern requires the SAT or the ACT, and recommends SAT Subject Tests for homeschooled students.
Northwestern University:
In addition to the ACT or SAT requirement, Northwestern recommends 2 SAT Subject Tests.
The SAT with essay, or the ACT with writing are required. In fact, all test scores from all dates need to be submitted for the SAT and ACT. SAT Subject Tests are recommended, but Stanford allows applicants to decide which SAT Subject Test scores (if any) they choose to submit.
University of Michigan:
The SAT with essay or the ACT with writing are required. SAT Subject Tests are considered, if they are helpful to an applicant.
University of North Carolina:
In addition to the SAT or the ACT, UNC Strongly recommends SAT Math Level 1 or 2, as the test is used for freshman year course assignment.

The Red and the White: The Cinema of People's Poland
Wallflower, 1 sty 2005 - 251
The Red and the White: The Cinema of People's Poland takes a fascinating look at the history of post-war Polish cinema, and how it was affected by the political, social and cultural upheavals throughout the period 1947-89. This timely study re-evaluates the legacy of Socialist Realism, the representation of the war, cinematic portrayals of national myth and cultural history, literary adaptation and surrealism, and discourses of exile and national identity. Although paying particular reference to the work of Krzysztof Kieslowski and Andrzej Wajda, this book considers the contribution of a wide range of filmmakers, including Jerzy Skolimowski, Krzysztof Zanussi, Agnieska Holland, Andrzej Munk, Jerzy Kawalerowicz, Wojciech Has and Roman Polanski. The volume also includes unique primary archival research into the role of state-sponsored censorship, and coverage of Polish-Jewish representations in film. Among the many films discussed are A Generation, Eroica, Ashes and Diamonds, Family Life, The Promised Land, The Hour Glass Sanatorium, Hands Up!, Decalogue 8, Europa, Europa and The Double Life of Veronique.

Julie & Nic's Minneapolis Club Wedding
We've all heard the saying "the devil's in the details"... and although that may be true in some cases, details happen to be our jam! And when a couple comes to us with LOTS of ideas for amazing, unique details, we are on board 100%! Julie and Nic's Minneapolis Club travel inspired wedding was just that. Nic is Dutch and it was important to the couple to incorporate that. As soon as guests received their invitations, it was clear that this would be an incredibly special and festive occasion.
The couple sported some fancy dutch footwear, aka clogs. And their amazing food (um, Filet and Scallops, yes please!) was definitely a tribute as well from the mimosa station to the candy bar, each item was thoughtfully selected and delicious.
Each of the tables was named after a destination and was adorned with a lovely centerpiece created with succulents, roses, dusty miller, orchids and a variety of greenery. Purple, grey and green is a beautiful combination!
They also had a caricature artist set-up during the cocktail hour + reception - this was a fantastic activity and a really fun favor for guests to take home!
If you want to check out the photographer's blog too, here is the link! They included a ton more pictures not seen below, and we're doing the same on Instagram, so don't forget to follow us there as well.
Venue: Minneapolis Club| Photographer: Tandem Tree | Florist: Luna Vinca| Invitations: Katie Murphy Stationery| Cake: The Copper Hen| Band: The Riverside Hitmen| Bride Attire: Allure Bridals| Groom Attire: Pal Zileri| Makeup Artist: Lisa Reinhardt| Caricature Artist: Caricatures by Lisa| Officiant: Cris Anderson – Minnesota Officiants

Join us in fighting the illegal trade in monkeys - help us give them a second chance in the wild!
Central American Spider Monkey: Ateles geoffroyi yucatanensis
Status: Endangered
Current population trend: Decreasing and severely fragmented
Belize's primate populations are being pressured by increasing tropical forest clearance, forest fragmentation and capture of young animals for the illegal wildlife trade. Wildtracks and the Belize Forest Department are collaborating to end the illegal trade in endangered primates in Belize, and ensuring that, where possible, all confiscated animals are returned to the wild, as part of a successful primate reintroduction initiative in the North East Corridor.
In the last five years:
96 primates have entered the Wildtracks Rehabilitation Centre
20 Geoffroy's spider monkeys have entered the Wildtracks Rehabilitation Centre, forming four cohesive troops, being prepared for release.
Over the last five years, Belize has made great strides in addressing the internal illegal trade in primates. There is increasing national awareness of the legal protection of primates under the Wildlife Protection Act, with fewer illegal pets reported each year. The Primate Rehabilitation Center at Wildtracks accepts all rescued and confiscated primates, ensuring there is no barrier to confiscation in national efforts to end the trade in these two endangered species. It also accepts translocation primates – those marginalized in small forest fragments by increasing forest clearance for agriculture, and those that are pushed into urban areas as adjacent forests are cleared. These short-term residents are returned to safe release sites in the wild as fast as possible.

Health benefits of vitamin B12 are well-known. Popularly known as an energy vitamin (it works with other B vitamins to convert food into glucose), this water-soluble vitamin helps in red blood cells formation, healthy digestion and boosting immune functions.
However, these benefits are not just limited to physiological dimensions. Vitamin B12 also plays a crucial role in your brain and nervous system health. In fact, experts believe that B12 and folate deficiency may play a significant role in age related cognitive decline, dementia [1] and other neuro-degenerative disorders like Alzheimer's.
Role of Vitamin B12 in brain and nerve functions
The exact biochemical play that leads to nerve and cognitive damage with low B12 status is not yet completely clear. However, science points out that the role of vitamin B12 in the 'One Carbon' pathway may hold some answers. This pathway is a series of complex biochemical reactions that leads to the production of many important proteins, hormones and other substances.
Vitamin B12 works as a co-factor for the synthesis of methionine, an important milestone in One Carbon pathway. Methionine is converted to S-adenosyl methionine (SAMe). It is an amino acid that donates methyl groups during methylation reactions in the body.
Methylation is an extremely important process where methyl groups are transferred to amino acids, enzymes, neurotransmitters, proteins and DNA. These reactions help to regulate healing, energy, DNA functions, immunity, detoxification and neurological functions. Myelin and neurotransmitters, required for healthy brain and nervous system functions, are also synthesised during these reactions.
In fact, SAMe is a master methyl donor in the body and is involved in a wide range of detoxification processes. Inadequate B12 disrupts the production of SAMe, leading to the build-up all kinds of toxins in the brain and other tissues.
Myelin synthesis and stabilization
Vitamin B12 helps in the synthesis and regeneration of myelin, a fatty sheath that covers the nerves of central and the peripheral nervous system. Nerves carry messages between different parts of the body with the help of electrical impulses or signals. What myelin does is that it protects nerve fibres from damage and helps in effective and faster transmission of electrical impulses across nerves.
B12 is also required for the conversion of methylmelonyl-CoA into succinyl CoA. If this conversion doesn't take place, methylmelonyl-CoA is converted into MMA, a substance that leads to the formation of a weak myelin sheath.
A damaged, weak or destroyed myelin sheath, as with B12 deficiency, impairs the transmission of signals across the nerves, causing it to slow down. This leads to poor nerve function and neurological problems. Point in case: if you are not getting enough B12, you are at a high risk of developing nerve damage, sometimes irreversible if deficiency remains unresolved for a long time.
Homocysteine metabolism
Vitamin B12 and folic acid are involved in the breakdown of homocysteine, an amino acid produced naturally in the body when you digest proteins. This is how it works. When SAMe donates its methyl group, it becomes SAH (S−Adenosyl Homocysteine), and is eventually converted to homocysteine.
Homocysteine is converted back to methionine with the help of B12 and folic acid. (Homocysteine may also enter another pathway where it becomes cysteine, and this process requires B6)
When you are deficient in B12 and folate, levels of homocysteine may build-up. High levels of homocysteine are believed to damage nerves and blood vessels and are associated with increased risk of heart attack, stroke, dementia, cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. An increase in homocysteine levels cause also the brain to shrink.
Emerging research suggests that B12 supplementation can improve cognitive performance and reduce the risk of brain atrophy (shrinkage). [2] An Oxford University study found that vitamin B12, when taken with vitamin B6 and folic acid, improved cognitive functions and lowered brain atrophy in people with Alzheimer's disease. [3]
Production of neurotransmitters
Vitamin B12 and folate are involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, melatonin and norepinephrine. These brain chemicals are known to regulate many brain functions including mood, sleep, learning and memory.
Neurological symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficiency
- Pain, numbness, and tingling in hands or feet
- Depression and anxiety
- Cognitive decline
- Memory loss and dementia
- Sensory loss
- Lack of focus and co-ordination
- Abnormal reflexes or loss of reflexes
- Brain fog and confusion
- Behavioral disturbances
- Abnormal gait
- Brain shrinkage
- Bladder dysfunction
Several factors increase the risk for vitamin B12 deficiency – including pernicious anemia, strict vegetarian diet, reduced amount of stomach acid (due to age, prolonged use of antacids and drugs like metformin, H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors), heavy alcohol consumption, bacterial overgrowth in intestines, weight loss surgery, intestinal surgery, Crohn's disease and celiac disease. If you are over 40 or think any of these risk factors affect you, taking vitamin B12 supplements may help.

Our Ayahuasca Retreats Location
Several years ago we acquired 200 hectares of land that is fairly isolated with a plethora of jungle life that would be perfect for people to come and immerse themselves working with Ayahuasca without the distractions of modern life. Located about an hour by speedboat east towards the direction of Colombia from Iquitos, Peru off of the Amazon River. We protect this land from logging and poaching. This land has many medicinal, spirit plants and trees used by the shamans.
Very close to our ceremonial maloca is the great Lupuna tree, this tree is considered the master shaman of the jungle the grandfather. The shaman does special diets with this tree and it has been known to teach many things during these special diets. The land is beautiful and a portion of the property is based on the riverfront of the river named Yana Yacu about ten minutes by boat to the village Yana Yacu Timicuro. A veritable garden of Eden this beautiful place is.

Dream Office REIT writes down Alberta assets by $748M in downturn
Investment trust points to soft economic conditions, prolonged sector uncertainty
One of Canada's largest owners of corporate real estate has significantly slashed the value of its Alberta properties as Calgary hits a record high in downtown office vacancies.
Dream Office REIT said in its second-quarter results that it has written down the value of its Alberta holdings by $748.4 million this year, or 45 per cent, to about $930 million.
The real estate investment trust said it did that because the economic conditions in the province remain soft, and it now believes the uncertainty and weakness in the Alberta office sector could be prolonged.
"Since the beginning of the year, it's become apparent that the theme for Alberta office real estate is lower for longer," said CEO Jane Gavan in an investor call Thursday.
- Downtown office vacancy rates top 21%
- Calgary downtown vacancy rate moving towards 25%
- Downtown Calgary office vacancy rate at record high, report says
She said Calgary has the highest office vacancy rate in the country, and with more buildings under construction that won't go down any time soon.
"Even if the economy recovers, we expect it's going to take some time for businesses to add people and to require more space," she said.
Calgary's downtown office vacancy rate hit an all-time high of 22.2 per cent in the second quarter, beating the previous record of 22.0 per cent set in 1983, according to commercial realtor CBRE.
It said in its second-quarter report that so far this year there's been a net increase of 1.35 million square feet of available downtown office space as oil and gas companies downsize because of the steep drop in energy prices.
Edmonton in better shape
CBRE said it expects Calgary vacancy rates to climb even further as bankruptcies and mergers open up even more office space.
Edmonton's more diversified downtown office district hasn't been hit nearly as hard, with vacancy rates hovering around 13 per cent, said CBRE.
Dream Office said the value of its Alberta investment properties, which include the HSBC Bank Place in Edmonton and the Dominion Centre in Calgary, will remain challenged for the foreseeable future and their value could drop further.
Dream's share price closed Thursday down $1.67, or nine per cent, at $16.92.

Real Estate Sales are looking up across the board in homes and condos… Its a positive feeling
February 18th, 2012 categories: Market Trends
Real Estate in New Orleans is doing much, much better in 2012 than it did in 2011. The numbers are there to tell us this but working with clients everyday you can feel it getting better. The buyers and sellers are making decisions faster, the supply is down, the interest rates are still very good at 4% and even below. The positive feel is back in all the areas that I work.
Real Estate Sales tend to be seasonal but this is more than a seasonal response to buying. In almost all areas you can get your better choices down to 4-5 places. In the condo market I can generally get it down to the 3-4 best places rather quickly. There is not a large supply for people to look at. In this case you review what is on the market and then wait for the new listings to come on the market so you can compare.
It is much harder to find that great deal but there are some very fair deals to be had. I expect the supply to be up after Mardi Gras and more buyers will come into the market. The early birds get the worm weather you are a seller or a buyer. You are just more educated than those wanting to start later.
The lenders I talk to on a weekly basis are busy as well. People still want to refinance but the new business is up for them as well. I have several clients to want to move in the Spring and will need to sell their house before moving. This did not happen a lot last year. The move up buyer was in short supply last year but the feeling is positive for people to think about making a big move.
There are areas of weakness but it is those areas that really tend to be more seasonal. The further you move away from town the business tends to be more seasonal. The biggest factor for those areas are kids in school this time of year.

The Great Judgment Day
eBook (PDF), 395 Pages
Price: Free
The Great Judgment Day deals with all of the Bible prophecy of that year, not directly associated with the Feast and Festival days (there is a difference). During the year of the Great Judgment, all of humanity who have died up until that point will be judged, "Dont be amazed at this, because the time is coming when everyone in their graves will hear His voice 29 and come out, those who have done good things to the Resurrection of Life, and those who have committed evil to the Resurrection of Condemnation." (John 5:28-29). But for the living, the survivors of the Great Tribulation, it will be the Jubilee year, when all 12 tribes of Israel (not just Jews) will return to the ancient land of Israel in a Second Exodus! The rest of the world will be on a fast learning curve when they notice that all of their armies have been destroyed! This year is none other than the Day of Yehovah ("the Lord"): "Because Yehovah has a Day of Vengeance, a year of compensation... More > settling the dispute over Zion." (Isaiah 34:8). GB< Less

BENEFITING: American Melanoma Foundation
EVENT: Honda LA Marathon 2012
EVENT DATE: Mar 18, 2012
I lost my older sister Becca Wilkins in 2005 to melanoma skin cancer. Experiencing a loss in the family changed my perspective on life. I instantly realized how precious each moment is. I choose to live life to the fullest and not waste anymore time taking life for granted. When Becca took her last breath on August 15, 2005, she was in the company of all her loved ones. Among this group, was her 2 year old daughter, Adeline Wilkins, and now widowed husband Patrick Wilkins. Patrick has done a tremendous job raising Adeline. His perserverance and love made it possible to work through this tragedy.
Being the avid runner I am, I decided to take on the challenge of running a marathon in honor of my sister and her beautiful family she created. I would like to raise money for a melanoma skin cancer foundation. Not only to raise awarness but, to help others in need. Since my work schedule does not permit me to join a team and train with others. I am training and raising money on my own time. May love be with you always :)
The Team: $780 TOTAL RAISED SO FAR

I even ran into friends I had not seen in 20 years and I have to admit the landscape in California is beautiful. But it is not home. Home is my where my family is and that is in Tennessee. Also home is not spending 2 hours and 30 minutes to go 30 miles at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. California can have its 'freeways.'

Chinese Wonton Soup Recipe
This was my first time making wonton soup…It was very good. I made the wontons ahead of time and froze them, then dropped into the boiling broth and cooked about 8 mins.
They were great. I really liked the mixture in the wontons and liked the addition of the spinach. I omitted the carrots, I think next time, I might use a different brand of broth, NEVER buy cheap broth when making soup I guess is the lesson learned here.

What Michael Cohen's Plea and Paul Manafort's Conviction Mean for Trump and the Mueller Investigation
Seven questions about national security and the way forward in the wake of Tuesday's events.
Latest in Annals of the Trump Administration
Seven questions about national security and the way forward in the wake of Tuesday's events.
Amid a bad news week for the Trump team, a new lawsuit highlight an under-explored theory of possible criminal liability: violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
A foreign adversary claiming to believe it could influence a presidential administration is on no set of facts less significant than the fact that such information was disclosed to the press. But even if the leaks aren't the "real" story, we cannot ignore them.
From a national security as well as public interest perspective, the issue is not so much that the White House wanted to establish a back-channel: it's who they wanted to establish the channel with (Russia), and how they wanted to the channel to operate (using Russian facilities and secure communications.)
The Washington Post is now reporting that Russian ambassador to the United States Sergei Kislyak communicated to Moscow that Jared Kushner had approached him in hopes of establishing a secret communications channel with the Kremlin. The Post reports:
Quick reactions to the appointment of Robert Mueller as Special Counsel to investigate L'Affaire Russe.
Through the looking glass: Former CIA analysts approximate what a foreign intelligence assessment of the United States might currently look like.
Patterns of conduct permitted by the rules on unmasking might nonetheless raise legitimate concerns—particularly during the sensitive inter-party transition period.
An op-ed primer on the basics of unmasking.

This Friday happens to be September 11th, so make sure you take some time today to remember those who lost their lives 14 years ago in the awful terrorist attacks. And if you need a pick-me-up due to the sadness of the day, well here's another great Fire Jam Friday. Last week there wasn't too much new stuff to choose from, but this week is a treat. Got some new Selena, Rachel Platten, Duran Duran, Jana Kramer and more. I also threw in a double dosage of Frank Sinatra because I put "Come Fly With Me" on and then realized I should throw "New York, New York" on there as well in honor of 9/11 as well as the Yankees huge 4 game series against the Blue Jays this week.
