Failure, impotency and weakness: these are the themes of today's readings. This may tempt pastors to use the homily time to do some fundraising. This would be a great mistake, for amid these themes we find extraordinary spiritual insight.
In the first reading, Ezekiel reports that God has sent him to his fellow exiles in Babylonia: "I am sending you to the Israelites, rebels who have rebelled against me; they and their fathers...hard of face and obstinate of heart are they. The message he will receive is one of "lamentation and mourning" (2:10). Safe to say, Ezekiel will not have an easy prophetic life, and many who hear him will dismiss him. Our reading ends with a great insight: "And whether they heed or resist—for they are a rebellious house—they shall know that a prophet has been among them."
Ezekiel was not commissioned to succeed in purifying his people's hearts, but to speak the truth and let go. This is really liberating: one follows God's lead, one discerns responsibly, one acts in love and then lets go. If an endeavor fails, be assured that you did not, for you were faithful. God demands nothing other than this. What freedom!
The hardness of heart Ezekiel experienced was what Jesus encountered in his hometown of Nazareth. Thus far in the Gospel of Mark we have experienced Jesus' presence as something that overwhelmed those around him. Demons are overcome, people experience the fear of the Lord, and Jesus' power to heal is dramatically on display. In today's reading we find that "he was not able to perform any mighty deed there.... He was amazed at their lack of faith."
It was not that Jesus was literally unable to heal; Mark tells us he did cure a few people. Rather, he was utterly disheartened. Not only did his fellow Nazoreans have no faith, they seemed utterly dismissive. He is just the carpenter, they said to one another, and we know his family. "And they took offense at him." Jesus' miracles only make sense in the context of anticipating the kingdom and in some way already participating in it. Without faith, Jesus' healings would make him more a magician than a messiah. Failing in his hometown, Jesus remained the perfect prophet, making clear that he was not a court jester to amuse or amaze. And in witnessing to the imperative of faith, he reminds us to scrutinize our own relationship with him.
Do we have the proper awe? Do we hang on his word? Do we seek merely the consolations of God; or do we, rather, pursue the God of consolations?
The second reading represents a virtual celebration of weakness. Paul's authority had been challenged in Corinth, and he wanted to defend himself as worthy of their trust. He ended up passionately telling his detractors about what he has suffered for the Gospel, including whippings, beatings, stonings and imprisonments (2 Cor 11:23 ff). Paul was not boasting of his war wounds, but telling the Corinthians that he knows well the cost of discipleship and that his suffering is part of authentic Christian witness.
In today's reading Paul describes how God kept his pride in check. "That I might not become too elated, a thorn in the flesh was given to me." So painful was this thorn that Paul pleaded for release: "Three times I begged the Lord about this, that it might leave me, but he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.'" The reading ends with Paul's summary: "For when I am weak; then I am strong."
These four things I know: My greatest burden is when I try to control what is out of my control. When I tell God to jump, God never does. My own witness is most compromised when I am most full of myself. And when I look at the experiences that deepen my faith, I quickly see that they tend to unfold in a context of great vulnerability. Failure, impotency and weakness: great themes.

Wii U
Do you like Wii U?
Time to collapse
If you buy me one I'd tell you. 8]
wasssuuuuppp 8D
I'm getting the Deluxe Version!
There is only one game that I want so I'll wait. Plus, with new console releases I would also wait to see if any common hardware issues are reported.
Taco Bell, beer, and anime... ain't life great?
I put waiting for good games, but I'm also waiting for a price drop after a few years for the black Wii U, $350 for it is kind of too much, $300 like the white one is a maybe
What even
I'm quite interested in a number of the games coming out for it.
When this poll was first posted, I voted for "Waiting for Good Games." Well, now I'm rather convinced that I want it. I'm just going to have to see how everything fares.
I did pre-order it, however from someone like me who is in the lowest of the minority and isn't for social networking (except obviously forums), the latest video I saw pimping the Wii U's "Miiverse" looks like it's extending a middle finger directly at us.
It's been frustrating too so little about the social network shit that's apparently the foundation of the console and being uncertain if there's moreorless a "fuck off" function for those who don't wish to be surrounded by people drawing dicks and spoiling the games.
Funimation hates PS4
I like Monster Hunter, but I'm not going to be 100% sure on a console if I've never used it.
I've been talking about this with the wife for a while. The money isn't an issue it's just whether it would be of any use. I played around with it at Best Buy and the controller fits my hands better than expected but as with the Wii what kind of games will it offer. I need something that will entertain my 5 year old as well as the wife and I.
I think the games coming out on it's launch date aren't exactly what I'm looking for. I was some classic Nintendo icons not these third-party games. Still I know how fast they run out so definitely competing on the release night to get my hands on one of them. My younger siblings want a copy and I'm going to have to get it for them haha.
Pre-ordered deluxe version but forgot to pre-order any games and Mario is sold out on Best Buy!
I'm kind of looking forward to Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's Edge. At least it shows that Team Ninja actually tried to finish the game this time to release it on the Wii U, after we paid test the lazy-ass beta version that was shat out for the 360 and PS3 (I'm not as hurt by it as it may seem anymore). Then I start hearing shit about frame drops, lazily implemented dismemberment, keeping the repetitiveness of nearly non-stop combat, maybe the difficulty being ramped up a little too much (but that's what everyone wanted).
And then I hear that they are going to develop another "Sigma" of this game that was never any good in the first place to be released months after the Wii U release, for the 360 and PS3 again. I just... *shakes head*
I'll just stick this here...
I don't really give a fuck about another "New" Mario Bros. game, that novelty wore off a very long time ago. It's clever and all but I'm just too terrible at those games to even pretend to enjoy them.
Funimation hates PS4

Same situation here dude. I decided I didn't want to piss away any more of my funds on the game I already posted about, so I'll just wait and see if I get it come Christmas. But at least the deluxe comes with Nintendo Land so we have that.
Funimation hates PS4
It'll be interesting to watch the news reports on TV of people waiting in line for a midnight sale to pick one up. I remember when the Wii came out the local news was interviewing people camping... camping in line with a tent in the cold weather so they can get a Wii on day one.
Then there will probably be some reports of people being mugged of their release day Wii U and also the trolls who buy the system, unbox it, and smash it to pieces in front of all the people waiting in line to buy a Wii U and then post their reactions on YouTube.
Taco Bell, beer, and anime... ain't life great?
I preordered the Wii U Deluxe and the new Mario game, and have no idea why. I am going to get it Sunday, and have no idea why.

hiegl necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 211 diseños de 48 diseñadores freelance.
DeGEval - Gesellschaft für Evaluation e.V.
DeGEval could roughly be translated as "German Society for Evaluation". The "e.V." stands for "registered society", which implies it´s "non-profit" character.
It aims to bring together professionals (institutional and private) engaged in the scientific field of "Eavulation" (in this sense: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evalua…valuation).
DeGEval members are recruited from renowned economic and
social scientific research institutes, institutes of higher education,
consulting and political consulting agencies, ministries,
administration departments, and federal research institutes.
All the relevant disciplines and professions are represented
and the number of members is increasing continually.
We need to completely redesign the existing website, giving it a clean while distinctive new identity. You can visit the "old" site here: http://degeval.de/
Just to let you know: The new site has been decided to run Joomla as a cms. For our newsletters we plan to use mailchimp. Of course this should not restrain your design efforts in any way.
The website of DeGEval offers information and services mainly for the following groups of people:
- members of DeGEval (individuals and institutions)
- individuals and institutions interested in and engaged with evaluation
- agencies, ministries and administration departments in need of professional advice and guidance concerning evaluation processes and projects in theory and practice
- everybody trying to keep up-to-date with the recent development, theorizing and practice of evaluation
We want you to design a new frontpage first. Based on the outcome we will ask some of you to design subpages as well, if we are really pleased with your work. In general we would appreciate to work with the winner later to design additional pages.
If the winner would also be able to do the html/css coding or even Joomla coding this could also be arranged separately but is absolutely not a prerequisite to join this contest and will not at all affect our decision, when selecting a winner!
Content: As you can see there is a lot of content in quite a deep hierarchy. Please keep this in mind, when deciding on menu style and/or placement.
Please use the old sites menu items terms.
A translation of the menu items:
News, About us, Working Groups, DeGEval-Standards, Publications, Events, Links, FAQ, Contact
Color: The new site should retain blue as one of the main colors but it doesn´t have to be as dominant as on the old site, where it is just combined with white. You should come up with a fresh new color schema that could have other colors (1-2) matching the blue.
Logo: The logo has to stay like it is now. I will give you a link to a better version soon.
I am about to gather a small list of sites, my client likes, but these should not be too much of a model for you. Getting the idea and coming up with something really great and individual is the key.
As the amount of text is quite limited here, I will give you more information on an external page very soon.
Addition: feel free to change the layout as you like!
What we have now is actually what a lot of sites had about 10 years ago i.e. the classical three-column-layout (maybe even chosen based on the restricted possibilities of the old CMS).
A creative solution for the menu would really be appreciated. Keep in mind, that there are a lot of subpages going possibly three levels deep. Therefor a split menu solution may come to mind, where the first level is in a horizontal top menu and the submenu in a sidebar area. But this is just an idea.
In general think about usability in the first place. Visitors should easily be able to get orientation without having to guess which menu contains what.
Of course this is more important for subpages but the frontpage is also connected to the subpages, isnt´t it.
You can also include some images on the frontpage. Candidates are thumbnails on news items, small images in a sidebar and maybe a banner area, if you want to include one in your proposal. Using a nice matching icon-set is also an option!
Keep in mind: The most important things for a harmonic solution are layout, color scheme and font choice. :-)

Police stopped every car at a red light on Monday in Aurora, Colorado, handcuffed every adult, and detained them for two hours. The police found the criminal they were looking for, but were their actions legal?
Responding to a tip that the person responsible for robbing a nearby Wells Fargo earlier was at that red light, the police moved in. They had no description of the criminal whatsoever.
All of the adult drivers were pulled from their 19 cars and cuffed. The police asked for permission to search the vehicles and every time it was granted. In the last car, they found the robber, armed with two loaded guns.
Sure the police got the criminal and everyone consented to their treatment, but did this mass detention infringe on anyone's civil rights? We'll find out if anyone sues the city of Aurora.

I started out with the plan for 12 in blocks, so they were 12.5in. I lost 1/2 in on the first squaring. I plan to lose more as I square again. I think I'll be lucky to end up with 10.5 in blocks. :lol:
Obviously, since this is my first quilt, I'm not all that worried about it. I don't expect it to be perfect. But I was wondering if this happens to others, and what, if anything, you do to alleviate that.

Suede - Bloodsports (album stream)
It's streaming here and here:
For some reason The Guardian stream wouldn't work on my laptop. The damn lefties. Sounds very good so far...
Surely the 405 have viewed source and copied the code from the Guardian
Seems a little odd for a site to so brazenly and repeatedly do this (seen it a lot)
Oh right. I don't know how all the rights to streaming works. Were
The Guardian supposed to have exclusive rights to the stream for a few day?
Anyway, I've heard the album all the way through. Not as good as their first three albums. Few albums are good as their debut and Dog Man Star (both 90s classics) but an excellent comeback album on first listen.
Does the job it's supposed to do
of being a confident record for big stages on the comeback circuit, but I find the ultra-bombastic production really alienating, it's all a bit stadium rock.
After watching the 6music live thingy
I'm really excited about this, Barriers is a great song.
Can't wait for this
sounds like a solid comeback album that should rescue their legacy a bit. I like that while many of these reunions result in bands just playing their back catalogue ad nauseum that Suede just got right on with putting out some great music that stands up with anything being released right now.
Nothing painfully bad but incredibly mediocre
Like a Suede tribute band recorded their debut album but forgot to write anything of merit. Really by-the-numbers and sometimes even a bit desperate in how hard it tries to make another typical Suede anthem happen.
Man I can't disagree more
Did we listen to the same albm? Sounds like they completely re-discovered their voice and what made them unique. Songs are incredibly self-assured. The last 4 tracks are a powerful, very dog man staresque closing to the album. Very ambitious, beautiful, and very Suede. Honestly if they put out an album sounding like early suede a lot of people would play the "they just sound like they're trying to duplicate past" but if they pushed on and did something really different most fans would have been disappointed hoping they would made another Dog Man Star. Suede have always been in a lose lose situation. I personally don't get how Suede fans could be disappointed in this. I was completely satisfied after first listen it could easily slot in next to Coming Up and DMS. There are at least 3 great singles on here as well. I was a little worried about ISAEWY that they were trying to make a radio friendly pop album. Thankfully the album is full of that dark, tragic Suede sound they captured so well early on.cherrycola, monkeypot, What_Ho, Capitalwow, and Alcarez this'd this
the 90s are over
it's time to move on
I really like it
I was expecting to hate it, to be honest. I've been pleasantly surprised and am glad that my favorite band still has it in them.
Last few tracks are excellent
like it, might even buy it, wow
Hmm.. bombastic.
It'll take quite a few listens before I can really pick up its substance.
Still better than the Tears though!
I've only ever listened to the debut
Always was a fan of Animal Nitrate, Metal Mickey and The Drowners, but never bothered listening to an album by them until 4 or 5 years back.
Should I give the other albums a go?
- the_outdoor_typo this'd this
I'm a huge fan of their first two albums. Coming Up is very good too.
1994 was a big year in music for me. It was literally in a few weeks that Nirvana were over and after the aftermath the spotlight turned onto what became known as Britpop (the worst unbrella term in music for a while). In 1994, Parklife, Definitely Maybe, The Holy Bible, His n'Hers and Dog Man Star all came out (as did Portishead's Dummy but I guess that's not Britpop). From all those British albums Dog Man Star was the best then and remains easily the best now for me. Do check it out.
I remember Suede getting 2 NME* covers on the strength of one single
It made me laugh because it really annoyed one of the guys who worked at my local independent record store. Kept banging on about them being Bowie rip-offs.
*Might've been Melody Maker. Either way, getting the cover page when you hadn't even released an album was considered, back then, completely outrageous.
Listened to Dog Man Star
pretty disappointing. Takes about 6 songs before there's anything remotely like Moving, Animal Nitrate or Metal Mickey, and even then I can't say anything stood out enough for me to take note of the title of the song.
Listen again...
We Are The Pigs is an absolute belter and then Heroine goes and tops it! Then you get the best ballad Suede have ever done, The Wild Ones. This album is the ultimate slow-burner. After one or two listens you'll wonder where the tunes are but it'll get under your skin. The 2 Of Us could move you to tears, The Asphalt World will take you on an epic 8-minute journey around a broken-down relationship (seriously, that Butler solo...?!) and Still Life gives you a massive show-tune of a finale to round off 70 minutes that pisses all over anything their 'rivals' ever delivered. Listen again... :-)
You just said what I said
only you named some of the titles along the way.
You've lost me...
We Are The Pigs and Heroine are this album's Animal Nitrate and Metal Mickey, only darker, beefier and more intense (and better). They are tracks 2 & 3. Did you not notice them on your way through to track 6? When I say it's a slow-burner I mean that by your 3rd listen you should be falling in love with it and by your 4th or 5th listen you might well be thinking that it's a staggering work of genius and every song is bloody amazing - even the psycho-drug-chant of 'Introducing The Band' (track 1 in case you miss it...) So, not pretty disappointing at all.
Yeah, true. That used to happen a lot in The NME and MM before
the internet started. You're right about the hype that Suede had, I remember it as a kid. Bands like S*M*A*S*H and Terris were hyped unbelievably and put on front covers of the big press in those days that included Select (which was quite a good magazine). I have to admit to not being the biggest Suede fan as I didn't really like their later stuff at all but Dog Man Star remains an all time favourite of mine. They're great live too. I've found this list of The NME's Top 50 of 1994. It's worth having a look not necessarily to see the order but which albums were released back then. There are some huge albums there probably more than most years. I have to admit that 1994 was a sort of coming of age year for me as I started uni that summer and so I have fond (and not so fond) memories of that year.
I like Suede, but I find it impossible to understand someone loving them
The first 2 albums and Coming Up are really good records, beautiful arrangements, Brett's voice.
But the lyrics - any sustained listening and you can't get round them. Which is not to say they're all bad. But it's a narrow repetetive palette, whereas the music isn't anywhere near so narrow.
I mean.. make your own Suede lyrics..
She's fucking with a slip of a man
Inside of an abandoned ice cream van
He's running out of gasoline
Whilst she lets out a nuclear scream
<Song title> <Song title>
I can't find my horse
Oh If you were here we'd drink our fill of gin
I'd find it in due course
Or at least some ketamin
<Song title> <Song title>avl06 this'd this
- shrewbie this'd this
Just had my first listen
Sitting at my desk grinning like a wanking chimp. It's an absolute monster. The production doesn't bother me at all - Suede were never exactly lo-fi to begin with. Snowblind and Always seem like the standouts so far.
I've listened to it a few times now
and it gets stronger every time I hear it. I was a bit concerned before as I didn't understand the praise that Black Rainbows received and presumed that this would be very similar, but this is a totally different beast for the better. I also wasn't particularly impressed with Barriers when I first heard it but as part of the album it sounds stronger and is a great opener. I don't think there are any weak tracks on there although 'Always' sounds like it should grow at the end into some sort of overblown piece a little like 'Still Life' did but unfortunately stops short. All in all its a great return and a stunning return to form when considering A New Morning and Head Music.
I imagine a lot of people will diss it before they give it a chance...
Yeah most people will
I think this could grow into being one of the greatest comeback albums ever from a completely dead band. The last 4 tracks are very Dog Man Star and give the album it's depth. Definite growers. First six very Coming Up. It's a very Suede fan's album. Much better lyrics this time as well which is maybe a result of Brett being very focused on a single concept.
It's a very good Suede album.
The only question for me is whether I want to listen to Suede in 2013.Hammer15 this'd this
Why not
you're most likely still listening to Radiohead. If this were a debut album from a hot new band everyone would be slobbering over it.
I don't agree entirely
but when I first heard It Starts And Ends With You, one of my first thoughts was "a band like Chapel Club just fucking WISH they could write a song like this"
The earlier Suede albums have stood the set of time I think.
It doesn't seem 20 years ago that their debut came out. I guess I'm showing my age.kostenurky this'd this
MusicOMH give it 3.5 out of 5. I've heard it through about three
times and it gets better with each listen. I'm a biased fan though. I'll do a Pitchfork and give it 8.2
It turn out quite good, haven't it?
Like the approach on the tracklist. First you have your pop songs and then the you end up with four ballads on a row. Hardly innovative but very effective
Grows with every listen
Dawn Chorus one of the bonus tracks on Japanese version is great too. Recent reviews over the weekend have been raves which makes the DIS review all the more minority.
You're right
Dawn Chorus is very good, not a surprise as they always had some very fine b sides
it's bizzarre to hear such theatrical, bombastic, earnest music in 2013
the ballads are ridiculous, but not actually bad, and possibly very good. I don't think it sounds '90s' or anything, but it sounds very Suede. I bought it today on a whim after discovering how much I liked hearing the single about 5 times a day on 6Music, got it from Rough Trade and it turns out that they're playing instore on friday and i got given a wristband, which was unexpected but nice, I can't wait! Seen them once and it was amazing ('Suede' album gig at Brixton academy), but can't afford that Alexandra Palace gig.
Also, I don't get why they still haven't done a proper UK tour?
Do they all have day jobs or something?
UK Tour
Totally agree with this! It always just seems to be one off gigs in bloody London!
Well done for the wristband. I'd love to have seen them at a small
venue but it's all been Brixton gigs for me; both before break up and two years ago. I've got an Ally Pally gig. It'll be fun no doubt but it's at Ally Pally and so won't be too memorable I think.
Don't say that!
I'm flying over from the US for the Ally Pally show.
Saw them at Hammersmith Palais 1994
and Roundhouse in 1996. Amazing both times.
After hearing this about 3 or 4 times I love it
i think it easily outclasses Coming Up, maybe even the debut which I never really rated compared to Dog Man Star.
I don't know
Is more consistent that CU, there isn't a clunker like Starcrazy in it, and the lyrics are better; but its true that it lacks a single like Trash or Beutiful ones. At least is on par with it
The debut and DMS are untouchable by the way
I reckon It Starts and Ends With You is up there with Beautiful Ones
it came on in a shop earlier today and it briefly made me pine for a time where good indie rock songs entered the consciousness of the mass public. Unexpectedly hearing an ace new pop song is all too rare an occurrence.
Its pretty fucking great.
Snowblind is a killer.
The album got 7.6 on Pitchfork!
Best review of it I've read, actually: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/17779-suede-bloodsports/
Saw them at Rough Trade East yesterday and it was amazing, absolutely heroic, especially the new stuff, wish I was going to see them next week.

Stone Sour Unveil Track List for 'House of Gold & Bones: Part 1′
Stone Sour's ambitious new double-disc release 'House of Gold and Bones' is coming into focus. The first disc, 'House of Gold & Bones: Part 1,' is due Oct. 23, and the band has now revealed the full track listing.
Singer Corey Taylor recently stated of the effort, "Each disc will included one half of the story – for lyrics, you'll have to [visit] our site." The singer has called the concept "a morality play," centering around the choices that are made in life.
Stone Sour just issued the interconnecting songs 'Gone Sovereign' and 'Absolute Zero,' which serve as the first two songs on the new album and give the disc a jolt to kick things off.
Guitarist Josh Rand says of the new disc, "'House of Gold & Bones' takes everything that's great about this band and amplifies it. The riffs, the lyrics, the grooves and the songs are like Stone Sour times 10. There's also heavy stuff that's like nothing we've ever done before. It's dark as hell and a complete experience from the first track to the last."
In addition to the first portion of 'House of Gold & Bones,' Taylor also recently revealed he was attempting to lock in a company to offer a companion comic book to accompany the story told in the two releases, but so far an official announcement has not been made.
Though a firm release date has not been set, the second portion of the 'House of Gold & Bones' double-disc is expected in May 2013.
Stone Sour, 'House of Gold & Bones: Part 1′ Track Listing:
1. 'Gone Sovereign'
2. 'Absolute Zero'
3. 'A Rumor of Skin'
4. 'The Travellers Part 1′
5. 'Tired'
7. 'My Name Is Allen'
8. 'Taciturn'
9. 'Influence of a Drowsy God'
10. 'The Travellers Part 2′

In September 2012, I compared the free patent search options available for Chinese patent documents, and one option was the free English patent search interface created by SIPO. SIPO also provides another free patent search tool called the Patent Search and Service System (PSS), which went online for public testing in April 2011 and currently includes both English and Chinese search options. According to an EPO press release, the PSS includes "a number of advanced search and retrieval possibilities, such as citation and family searches, cross-lingual retrieval, legal status information, full text data and machine translation." The tool allows users to access CN data on patents, utility models, and designs from 1985 onwards, and the system is updated monthly. Worldwide patent document data covering 97 countries (most likely INPADOC data) also appears to be searchable under the structured search form. The tool is free, but registration is necessary to access many of the more advanced tools of the system, such as viewing the Search History tab and downloading full PDF documents. Unfortunately, registration proved to be a bit problematic for an English-language user, and some features were still not accessible even after registering for the portal.
Read on to learn about the advanced search tools accessible for Chinese and worldwide patent documents on PSS, and also learn about the registration and access problems that you may encounter when using this system.

I am going to Brazil next month and will be taking 2 or 3 2010 kites and a couple bars. I have never travelled with this kind of merchandise before. I usually just pack some clothes and go and rent a surfboard at my destination. It's sketching me out a little bit guys. This is a lot of expensive stuff to keep track up during a 3 week mobile excursion up and down the NE Coast.
Has anybody ever taken any kind of travel insurance on their kite gear when travelling? Or does anyone have advice travelling around the Ceara coast with quiver and board and have any tips? Any help is greatly appreciated.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Senior middle blocker Dylan Davis and freshman setter Jonah Seif both earned All-MPSF honors, it was announced by the conference on Thursday morning.
"We are very proud of Dylan and Jonah," said UCSB head coach Rick McLaughlin. "Both are very deserving of these individual honors."
"However, these are also great team honors because much of the success these two players have had could not have happened without the great play of their teammates."
Davis, who was named to the first team, earned his second career All-MPSF honor after being named to the All-Freshman team in 2010.
Davis had arguably the best year of any middle blocker in the country, leading all Division I-II players with 151 total blocks and a .438 hitting percentage. His 1.37 blocks per game average ranked third in the country.
The Newport Beach, Calif. native singlehandedly took over a match on multiple occasions, picking up double-digit kills five times and recording 10 or more blocks three times. He accomplished the rare feat of a double-double by a middle blocker two times this season, finishing with lines of 11 kills and 14 blocks at USC on Feb. 21 and 13 kills and 10 blocks against Cal State Northridge on Mar. 13.
Davis has the chance to rewrite the UCSB record books with a solid performance in the MPSF Tournament. He needs 21 blocks to overtake the single-season block record for a Gaucho, and he needs just 18 more to reach the top of the UCSB career block list.
On Thursday morning, Davis was also named as one of three finalists for the Off The Block/Springback, Inc. "National Blocker of the Year" award alongside Long Beach State's Taylor Gregory and Ball State's Matt Leske. The winner for that award will be announced Tuesday.
Seif received a pair of All-MPSF honors, being named to the All-Freshman team as well as earning an All-MPSF honorable mention.
The Thousand Oaks, Calif. native was one of just six setters – and the only freshman – in Division I-II volleyball to eclipse the 1,000 assist mark in the regular season. He finished the year with the fourth highest assist total (1,051) in the country and the seventh-best assists per set average (10.51 per set). He topped the 50-assist mark in five different matches.
Not just a one-dimensional player, Seif also led all MPSF setters in hitting percentage (.436) and total blocks (64) while ranking third in service aces (17).
Davis, Seif, and the rest of the Gauchos will travel south on Saturday night to take on the second-seeded and defending NCAA champion UC Irvine Anteaters in the first round of the MPSF playoffs. First serve is set for 7:00 p.m.

BRADFORD, Pa. (AP) - March 15, 2013 --Police have charged a federal prison guard with shooting his own finger in a drunken attempt to remove his wedding ring at his northwestern Pennsylvania home.
Online court records don't list an attorney for 31-year-old Alfredo Malespini III, of Bradford, who was wounded in the March 2 incident.
Officials say police were called to Malespini's home and found him with a bloody finger, after which he told them he was "trying to get rid of his wedding ring" and decided to "shoot it off." Police say the attempt badly mangled Malespini's finger, but didn't remove the ring.
Police say he was taken to an Erie hospital for medical and mental health treatment. Online court records show he's yet to be arraigned.
Officials at the Federal Correctional Institution-McKean couldn't immediately comment on his employment status.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – For the second game in a row, Dylan Roden powered MIT's attack, this time tallying four goals in an 11-3 victory over Clark University on Saturday. The Engineers, winners of five straight, saw their ledger improve to 7-5 overall and 4-1 in Pilgrim Lacrosse League play.
Corey Garvey posted three goals and five groundballs as Ernie Park and Ryan Ballentine each earned two assists. Patrick Shannon paced the defense with seven groundballs while Eric Zuk totaled six groundballs. Neil Zimmerman tallied five groundballs and a goal as Ebbe Strathairn registered four groundballs. In net, Garth Grove collected 13 saves.
In the opening quarter, Ballentine set up Garvey for a pair of goals as Roden recorded an unassisted marker. Clark got on the board with an extra-man goal at the 7:51 mark of the second stanza to narrow the gap to two (3-1). MIT responded with five unanswered goals to close out the period and enter the break with a comfortable 8-1 advantage.
Park found Roden for a man-up tally three minutes into the third quarter as a solo effort by Garvey extended the Engineers' margin midway through the frame.
The Roden-Park collaboration netted another extra-man goal after 4:26 expired in the final frame. The Cougars capped the scoring with a pair of man-up strikes.

I am an atheist/ agnostic but after careful thinking, I've decided that perhaps virulently promoting atheism (as this community is doing) isn't really good for society. Please don't get offended, just read my arguments below calmly and rationally. If you can argue that I am wrong, I will listen to those arguments and change my opinion.
Note 1: I am using science in all my arguments, not religion.Not all my links point to scientific studies, but I'm sure you could find relevant evolutionary psychology papers if you googled for it.
Note 2: Please don't take offense, I'm not a sexist or a misogynist. I am trying hard to be as unemotional as possible in my arguments.
Argument 1: Polygamy is bad for society
What percentage of our (pre-civilizational/ barbaric) ancestors are males? The answer is not 50%. As evolutionary psychology points out, 80% of our female ancestors managed to reproduce but only 40% of our male ancestors did so. (Link: http://www.psy.fsu.edu/~baumeistertice/goodaboutmen.htm). Simply put, in barbaric societies, males were the high-risk high-reward sex whereas females were the low-risk low-reward sex.
Males are genetically polygynous (interested in sex with as many women as possible - this makes sense as men can produce millions of sperm every day and have a low reproductive cost)
Females are naturally hypergamous (interested in only one man but the best; the top 'alpha' man - this makes sense as a female produces one egg per month and has a high reproductive cost due to pregnancy and child birth).
When sexuality is uncontrolled, the combination of male polygyny and female hypergamy results in polygamy a.k.a harems (one man having sex & children with multiple women).
The ones who suffer are the beta males - the ones who have been sexually selected out. They typically become violent and don't contribute to society. There is an argument to be made that the Taliban practices polygamy and this is the source of violent behavior of terrorists from that part of the world. (Link: http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200706/ten-politically-inco...)
When promiscuity is controlled through strictly enforced monogamy, every man gets a wife. This reduces violent behavior and unlocks the productive capacity in males. I don't have the link available but a man who is already married or believes that he will marry in the future will be 4x productive as an unmarried man who does not believe that he will ever marry (e.g.) Japanese grass-eaters ostracized by an increasingly promiscuous Japan (Link: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/dec/27/japan-grass-eaters-sala...)
Alpha men don't significantly contribute to society - they are not scientific geniuses or hard workers. They are typically physically aggressive men. Contrary to feminist dogma, physically dominant men (even dominant to the point of abusive) are attractive to women because they exhibit alpha tendencies - The Dark Triad of Narcissism, Machiavellianism and Psychopathy.
Alpha men understand their higher attractiveness (compared to betas) and adopt a pump-and-dump sexual attitude. They have many sexual partners but don't bother helping with raising their young; some of their young will die due to lack of resources but they make up for it in numbers.
Betas adopt a nourish-and-protect sexual attitude. They have only one sexual partner, whom they win by proving their love and commitment. Then they have children with only this partner, but provide resources and protection to ensure their children grow up successfully.
Monogamy is the cornerstone of civilization. See the Moralia versus Libertalia argument (Link: http://www.hookingupsmart.com/2011/10/14/relationshipstrategies/how...). In a monogamous society, with greater male economic participation and lesser violence, prosperity, rule of law and art flourish.
Argument 2: Promiscuity naturally leads to beta ostracism and harms society
Promiscuity - Defn: Any form of sex outside of monogamous marriage (including exclusive relationships)
Non-exclusive relationships (polyamorous relationships) are almost always polygamous (one alpha man with many women). This results in many beta men losing out.
Exclusive relationships also result in beta men losing out - Why? If enough alpha men are not available, hypergamous females would rather not enter into any relationship at all rather than be with beta men - "The Where have all the good men gone?" tirade from many women in modern promiscuous culture.
Promiscuity is the leading cause of single motherhood. Many women will rather have children with alpha men (who will later abandon them) rather than with good beta providers (whom they find dull and boring).
The social effects of unleashed promiscuity are enormous - 40% out of wedlock births, single motherhood and increased Govt debt/ taxation to support single motherhood by the State which steps in to replace the father.
Single motherhood produces children 2 to 10 times more likely to suffer from:

Argument 3: Atheism promotes promiscuity (Edit: by being silent about it)
I am not saying that atheism caused promiscuity (that happened in the 60s due to a variety of other reasons including feminism) but atheism has played a role in the rise of moral relativism, especially with respect to promiscuity.
The Golden Rule is perhaps the first tenet of religious morality but it is not the only one. The second most important tenet of religious morality is monogamy.
I have seen many arguments about how atheists are equally moral (if not more so) than religious people. In all these arguments, people assume that morality = Golden Rule.
Based on my personal experiences, many atheists seem to think that:
Morality = the Golden Rule
Promiscuity = personal freedom (i.e.) promiscuity is acceptable behavior that the Church restricts because the Church is old and stupid. Many atheists don't seem to realize the far reaching social effects of promiscuity.
This moral relativism on promiscuity is obvious even in this site. For example http://www.thinkatheist.com/forum/topics/atheists-are-not-moral-peo... does not deal with promiscuity at all. http://www.thinkatheist.com/forum/topics/what-is-your-stance-on-mar... has answers from many atheists clearly exhibiting moral relativism on the subject of promiscuity.
[Edit: The majority of your arguments were against this. I can understand why this may look like a strawman argument. Let me clarify:
There is a strong correlation between divorce risk and low IQ. There is also a strong correlation between high IQ and atheism (giving you folks a compliment, take it :) ).
Atheism as a movement, originated primarily amongst high IQ society. But it has now gone mainstream and is growing fast, scarily fast almost. As Uncle Ben put it, "with great power comes great responsibility". But Atheism does not seem to be taking up that responsibility from the Church. Yes, the Church is broken and old and corrupt and its practitioners are bigots and hypocrites. But, it is still the only thing out there taking a stand against promiscuity. Atheists seem to walk away from the responsibility of condemning promiscuity and most Atheists promote sexual freedom.
Morality naturally comes to Atheists because they are high-IQ individuals who are better able to visualize the impact of their life choices in the future. But, as atheism goes mainstream and the Church dies out, what happens to all the voices condemning promiscuous behavior?
We are not more evolved now in anyway than we were in the past. We are, still at our core, apes struggling to build great civilizations. We all (especially low IQ individuals) need moral guidance to help us in this struggle, to make better life choices.
Can you point links to me about prominent Atheists condemning promiscuity? Is the Atheist movement willing to take up the mantle of promoting social morality from the Church after slaying it? ]
[Edit 2: I am not a troll, I've just been super busy last few days, I will have more time this weekend to reply to some comments below. The essential thing I am trying to say is that religion is not pure evil, and we should not look at it in terms of black and white.
There are definitely good things about religion. There is a very interesting theory that religions also evolve over time and the most popular religions are the most useful ones to society, and they became popular precisely because they were an advantage to societies that adopted them. For example, societies with religions that promoted monogamy were almost always more successful in combat over societies that had religions that did not emphasize monogamy. The reason is because in societies that practiced monogamy, soldiers had a genetic stake in survival of that society (they had their own children to protect). Rome fell because of polygamy - the top politicians had harems and orgies and monopolized the women, resulting in loss of morale amongst troops who did not get the chance to be fathers. Rome was increasingly forced to rely on mercenaries rather than patriotic troops to protect her. After the treasury ran out, Rome collapsed because disenfranchised beta males, who had no genetic stake in Rome, simply walked off and allowed the barbarians to invade.
My point of view has always been "What is best for society?", and not "What is true?". Atheism is the correct working hypothesis because there is no proof for God and we have to use Occam's razor at all times. I don't see any downside consequences of high IQ people discovering/ discussing Atheism. But, we have a moral obligation (as the high IQ elites in our society) to do what's best for society. Imagine a ghetto filled with the poorest, uneducated people in our society. We have to make the decisions that will benefit them.
I don't really have a problem with Atheism, but I have significant issues with the Atheist Movement. For instance, take the advertisement "There is no God, Relax". This advertisement is targeted at people who have made bad choices in their life and have been sexually irresponsible. They are probably feeling guilty about these choices and the Atheist Movement is offering them an easy way out. It tells them "There is no Hell or Heaven, so relax and continue making bad choices". In reality, there is no hell or heaven, but there are societal consequences of your choices. In reality, guilt is often a very useful biological mechanism for correcting bad behavior, but Atheism is offering them a way to rationalize away their guilt so that they can continue making bad choices. I am speaking about this from personal experience, I have known people who commit adultery and rationalize their guilt because they think that the concept of 'sin' is meaningless as there is no God.
Also, to all people accusing me of being a sexist and having double standards, I am not asking for double standards from men and women; I am demanding high standards of expected social morality from both sexes. How is that sexist in any way?]
I am going to judge the merit of a social construct on the basis of its usefulness, not on the basis of its truthfulness. I will only promote an idea to society only if I am convinced it will help society.
If the Traditional Conservative Church (not the Modern version that tolerates no-fault divorce) is useful to society as an institution that encourages monogamy, I would rather have that than Atheism.

I would like to believe that we can come up with these devices in Secular thought. Spirituality is not a dirty word. and philosophy and the positive benefits of the church are something to consider. But there is a harm that religion causes by it's very nature as well. I just go what my personal experience tells me. As the current internet generation has shown. Availability of knowledge leads to more informed people. But it also leaves us lacking in traditional constructs such as religious gatherings or worship. In biology, every new advancement comes at a price. I feel that this is the nature of our present times. and although I really would love to take up the benefits of a religious upbringing. I feel that compromise with religion is not going to benefit in the long run socially. on a personal level it is fine, but here is my problem. religion can be followed without education. secular thought cannot.
Javier - we don't have to compromise with religious people in order to work with them. We are entitled to hold people to the highest standards of behaviour and integrity. In any case, to do less would be an insult to them.
I've always felt that atheists miss out on many of the undeniable benefits of religion. I think it's true that while atheism is of course not a religion, it does squarely take the place of religion for most serious atheists. What do we talk about all day long on Think Atheist? The finer points of theology, religion, The Bible, moral philosophy, the meaning of life etc. etc. Sounds pretty religious to me.
As for a congregation - you're in one right now.
It would be good if we could produce some solid moral philosophy and spirituality of our own, and talk about our ideas with the religions, get everyone to share this stuff, and in the process, nail it more thoroughly than has been done so far, and make it accessible to everyone.
I agree that chartering a sort of code of morals can be beneficial. But I also do not want to sound like there is a segregation between those who do not live to the moral standard from those who do. I see what you mean though, and I would have to say that an attempt to work together with the religious would be great. If there is work that can be done together.
Maybe it does sound religious, but I think that word carries too much connotations. It is part of our human nature to want to profess and unite I believe. I think being united would be a great thing.
But things like politics religion and economics tell me that People in large numbers tend to just go on faith of what they are told. And I do not want to end up in that kind of evolution. Turning this idea into just another "flag" with a large group of followers, and I think I am not the only one who thinks so to.
I would never advocate belief in the Easter Bunny just because I think society would be better off believing in him. Who am I, to decide what's best for society?
The number 1 problem with this post is that while discussing marriage and sexual relationships you fail to consider the woman as anything more than what many men consider her: weak, defenseless, dependent, and needing to be protected.
Women are individuals. When speaking of marriage... well you should consider that many of the problems in this society are the RESULT of narrow religious definitions of sexual relationships and futile efforts to enforce them rather than the "Sexual revolution." Connect the dots and you'll see what I mean.
I know this guy is quite crude... but he hits on a lot of the points I'm trying to make:
Hey, maybe society would be better with a benevolent dictator. A curfew would prevent a lot of crime as would a "one strike you're out" law. Wow, this is great! How about sterilizing anyone with a birth defect, asthma, or an ugly raspberry birthmark? I'm sure the rest of you can help out with even more suggestions.
How can anyone listen to a word of this without laughing at you? You were never a real atheist, or you would know that atheism is NOT a choice. You don't choose shit. You either are an atheist, or you aren't. The results aren't really up to you. You don't choose to be an atheist, you simply are one because you do not become a christian. But if you were EVER an atheist to begin with, you could never truly become a christian or change your beliefs knowing what you know that made you an atheist in the first place. At least that's my opinion. None of your arguments here add up to any kind of relevance whatsoever. I think you're trolling. Trolling hard.
I quess I could have become a pagan. I played in that camp for a few years, but other than jumping through a bon-fire nude, going to nude sweats, and making runes, it seem rather like scouts. Oh yes, I forgot the strip poker game once on a scout trip.
It just did not take. I closer I get to pouring myself into an ideology, the closer I get to the exit. I think an allergic reaction could be the problem.
BTW....sexual promiscuity bothers you that much that you would condone the continuation of dangerous religious beliefs that cause far worse things?! You are not thinking.
Shankar, If you take a topic like promiscuity/polygamy and proceed to lay claims to the effect that atheists/atheism contributes or is the course of it, then you miss the point. Religion, particularly christianity, has championed such a contradictory position that it defiles reasoning. It is not in doubt that the old testament, not only accepted polygamy, but practitioners received favor in the eyes of their god.Interestingly, the new testament rather has the opposite view which is that practitioners are condemned as sinners and WOULD NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. If you desire to know the concept responsible for the promotion, and at the same time the prohibition of polygamy, then look no further than christianity.
So, Shankar, how can atheism, which, among others, promotes scientific reasoning, be responsible for the promotion of promiscuity/polygamy? If you can not accept the position of atheists in respect of polygamy but would seek solace in religion, then do so without laying the blame on the doorstep of atheism.
In concluding, the postulations you made and the conclusions drawn are as faulty as the beliefs system you now accept: christianity. I am NOT convinced by your argument,Shankar. Come again!!!
We're on page 10 folks - how long has it been since Shankar S actually posted, or has anyone noticed?

One Shoulder Maxi Dress
Added Jun 27, 2013
by abeigh
London, United K...
I made this georgous maxi dress from the June 2013 issue, for my 40th birthday trip to Dubai. It was really easy to make. You don't necessariy need to line it but I had to because I found that the fabric was see through. The armhole on the lining is very high up, so I had to lower it by a couple of inches.
It might be better to trace this pattern from the magazine as if you print it out it is over 120 pages. It took forever to stick it together.
I love the dress so much I made it twice, one in an African print fabric with shoulder strap and the other in a silky satin (a bargain, I made the dress for £2.00).

Call for new test
Some kind of GPGPU CUDA/CAL benchmark would be good to see. If the new Adobe CS4 products support both architectures they may make a good test.
GPUs as computational accelerators are a coming idea - many common media tasks will benefit. But all the benches concentrate on games and game related things.
Just my $0.02.

Maybe, like me, you haven't heard of angelica before. I bought this last spring for a dish I was making for Persian New Year. It's really amazing stuff. It's got a pretty intense and distinctive flavor, just a little sweet but also quite robust. Apparently it also has many medicinal uses.
I found this Eggplant with Pomegranate Dip that called for some angelica powder, and decided it looked appealing.

Broncos Owner Giving Up Control Due To Alzheimer's
DENVER (AP) — Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen is giving up control of the team as he battles Alzheimer's disease.
The team announced Wednesday that the 70-year-old Bowlen will no longer be a part of the team's daily operations. Team president Joe Ellis will take over after being named as the Broncos' chief executive officer.
The Broncos say the ownership of the team is held in a trust in hopes that one of Bowlen's children will run the team one day.
Under Bowlen's guidance, the Broncos made six Super Bowl appearances and won six AFC championships.

The neon trend kicked off when every editor under the sun was carrying their (you all know the one!). Now the trend has moved into hair accessories, nail polish, socks, shoes, you name it! As such, we have put together a must-have list of neon items that are all under $75. Why under $75? I believe that one should always splurge on classic pieces and go cheaper on trends (like neon, navajo, etc.). That being said, here are my picks:
Bottoms: is making the hottest neon jeans out there (hands down) but I have to say is coming in a close second and they are under $75! Also on the radar and currently in my closet are the , they are amazingly flattering and perfect for summer!

I was discussing Paul Tough's book with my wife yesterday at breakfast, and we somehow got onto my pet peeve: the mechanical way in which math is taught in schools, and how math gets reduced to arithmetic and counting. Of course the definitive word on this is Paul Lockhart's A Mathematician's Lament.
I looked over the floor of the living room, strewn with random bits of deadly adult-foot-stabbing Lego, and had a minor epiphany. As anyone with small children knows, LEGO sells a lot more Hollywood tie-in kits now compared to the "bags of bricks" that it used to sell. You can buy the Millenium Falcon, an X-wing fighter, a spiderman action scene, or some kit related any cartoon on Nickelodeon.
Which is a pain. Lots of specialized parts, key pieces that if misplaced causes massive bouts of tears and anguished searching, and so on.
But how do kids play with them ? They put it together carefully from the instructions the first time. This lasts about a day or so. Then they get bored, take it apart and mix up all the pieces with the OTHER kits they have, and spend many happy days building all kinds of weird contraptions.
Here's the thing about the kits. They show you how to build fairly complicated devices and doohickeys. The kids pick up on this, and they mix and match the doohickeys in their own new constructions. Essentially they figure out the functions of the different parts, and realize how to build brand new things with them.
But suppose they were told that all they could do was repeatedly assemble the kits (and maybe even different kits) over and over again. It's unlikely they'd learn anything more than just how to assemble kits really quickly. They'd also get terribly bored. In fact, the popular toys in our house are multipurpose objects: any single-purpose toy gets discarded rather quickly.
To cut a long story short, it feels to me that a lot of math (and theoryCS) education at the school and college level involves looking at various "kits", and seeing how they get put together. You get rewarded for putting kits together correctly, but not for playing with the kits and creating bizarre new objects. But finding a way to let students (in an unstructured way) play with mathematical concepts is the key to having them really understand the concepts and their different facets.
