Following the release of HP's Omni 27 all-in-one PC last year, a solid, if not exactly jaw-dropping offering, the company is back with the Envy 23, which carries the same design DNA and much of the same functionality, only with Ivy Bridge processors and a smaller screen.
The entertainment-geared PC comes with a 23-inch, 1920x1080 display with edge-to-edge glass, Ivy Bridge CPUs, up to 2 terabytes of storage, Beats audio enhancement, and the option of a HDMI-in, TV tuner and Blu-ray drive. Meant to compete with the likes of the Apple iMac and Dell XPS One 27, th consumer-targeted Envy 23 offers up further proof that all-in-ones are becoming the de facto standard for desktop PCs (as far as average users go). And the Envy 23 definitely has a quality look and feel to it that doesn't scream "CHEAP PIECE OF SHIT" when you look at it. If that isn't enough, then the $950 starting price tag might turn a few heads when it hits stores on August 5. [HP]

I hadn't followed the "Iranian Speedboats Harass US Navy Ships in Persian Gulf" incident too much. My cursory review of the incident didn't strike me as being particularly portentious or significant.
But maybe it is more important. Historian Walter Russell Mead writes in the Wall Street Journal:
From the 18th century to the present day, threats to American ships and maritime commerce have been the way most U.S. wars start. The pattern began early. Attacks by the Barbary pirates in the Mediterranean led President Thomas Jefferson to send the U.S. Navy thousands of miles on a risky expedition to suppress the threat to American merchant ships in 1801. During the Napoleonic Wars, British and French interference with U.S. commerce led to a series of crises and undeclared "quasi-wars" that culminated in the War of 1812.
Sumatran attacks on U.S. ships in the 1830s led President Andrew Jackson to dispatch naval forces on a retaliatory mission. The widespread (though probably erroneous) U.S. belief that the USS Maine had been destroyed by a Spanish mine in the harbor of Havana, Cuba, forced a reluctant President William McKinley to launch the Spanish-American War in 1898.
The 20th century was no different. German attacks on U.S. ships in World War I brought America into that war; the Japanese attack on the fleet at Pearl Harbor brought the U.S. into World War II. The Tonkin Gulf incident in 1964 (alleged attacks on U.S. ships by North Vietnamese boats) led Congress to authorize President Lyndon Johnson's use of force in Indochina. The North Korean seizure of the USS Pueblo in 1968 touched off a near-war crisis at the height of the Vietnam conflict, and the Cambodian seizure of the Mayaguez, a container ship, led President Gerald Ford to dispatch combat forces back to Indochina less than one month after the U.S. withdrawal from Saigon in 1975. [...]
Last weekend, the Iranians fled before shots were fired. Good for them. If Iran wants a large-scale military conflict with a U.S. that is angry, aroused and united, endangering American naval vessels in the Straits of Hormuz is the right way to get one.
Well, when you put it that way, and with an administration eager for war with Iran, it's a little chilling, isn't it?

Status: Series Ended
Premiered: September 26, 2011
Show Category: Drama, Sci-Fi
FOX Broadcasting has teamed with Steven Spielberg Peter Chernin, Brannon Braga, Ren? Echevarria and Aaron Kaplan to bring a new series, Terra Nova. In the year 2149, the planet Earth is a disaster, and most of the plant and animal life has become extinct. Scientists can't reverse the damage, but have found a way to travel back to prehistoric times to save the human race.
Among the Tenth Pilgrimage of settlers in Terra Nova is the Shannon family. Jim Shannon, played by Jason O'Mara, is a loving father with secrets in his past. His wife, Elisabeth, is a trauma surgeon who has been recruited to join Terra Nova's medical team. Their three children join them on this journey: Josh is 17 and is not happy about leaving the life he knows. Maddy is 15 and is looking forward to a new life and a chance to make changes. Zoe is 5, and there is a secret involving her that could create problems for the Shannon family.
Commander Nathaniel Taylor warns the new arrivals of the dangers that surround them in Terra Nova. There are not only dinosaurs but other settlers who have left the colony to start their own. The outcast colony is led by Mira, who left because she disagreed with Taylor as a leader. The Shannons soon discover that not all of the danger exists outside the walls of Terra Nova. Some of the members of their group disagree on how to save mankind and some may even be trying to destroy the new world before it can get started.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Lipscomb pitching coach Megan Rhodes Smith stands in center field with five softball players appearing to take a nap an hour before game time.
Just what they are doing as they lie prone in the grass has prompted questions from early arrivals at ball parks around the Atlantic Sun Conference.
No, they aren't napping.
Wrong, they aren't meditating either.
What they are doing is visualizing what they will do in the game. Smith, who has a master's degree in sports psychology, initiated the program this season.
Her pitchers – Ashley Anderson, Tanner Sanders, Heather Parker, McCarley Thomas and Taylor Neuhart - believe in it too. This week they will not only be visualizing what pitches they will throw and what the results might be. They will also be visualizing what it will be like to win the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament Championship at Draper Diamond at Smith Stadium on the Lipscomb campus.
The tournament starts today at 3 p.m. when No. 3 Stetson faces No. 6 Florida Gulf Coast. The winner will play the No.2-seeded Lady Bisons Thursday at 10 a.m. The Lady Bisons and USC Upstate, the No.1 seed, drew first round byes.
Anderson thrives
The pitcher who has benefited the most from the visualization exercises is Anderson, a senior left-hander. She is 19-4 this season with a 1.44 earned run average and 117 strikeouts. All are career season bests for her.
"You practically go through every one of your pitches," Anderson said. "Visualizing being on the mound really helps because you feel like you have already done it.
"For me, personally, I don't feel as nervous. That is kind of my mentality. I just go through it and chill now. It is less stress for me."
The visualization process goes through thoughts like what it feels like to get three outs and what to do in a bunt situation.
"She will say something like,`you have just given up a big hit'," Anderson said. "She will tell us to visualize what we are going to do to get the next batter out. We can walk through what pitches we will throw in certain situations."
Anderson points to the visualization process as the key to her success this season.
"I think it has made all of the difference," Anderson said. "When you give up a hit, you can just check in with yourself and say now I know how to deal with that and get the next batter out.
"You have to internalize it and say, `I can do this. I have done it a million times'. It is a tool everybody can benefit from."
The thinking pitcher
Parker, a senior right-hander, is 9-3 this season. She didn't need any convincing about visualization. Known as a thinking person's kind of pitcher in the circle she has been using visualization most of her career.
"I've always been a very visual pitcher," Parker said. "I see a pitch. I see exactly what I want it to do. And that is something Megan has really concentrated on, especially with me.
"She wants me to make sure that before and after every single pitch that I have a goal in mind. It is not so much how I want it to happen, but what I want it to look like. I had to make an adjustment to my approach. From my standpoint I would look at how I wanted to do it instead of seeing it and just letting my body do what it already knew how to do."
Parker has especially enjoyed the mental aspect of the pregame sessions.
"As a human your brain only knows what you tell it to do," Parker said. "So if you are constantly visualizing these things happen then your body doesn't really know the difference between the physical action and you, yourself, thinking it."
Parker added that Smith's process expanded on what she had been doing previously in her career in terms of visualization.
"Coach Smith has given me a reason to do things rather than just doing it," Parker said. "I love thinking through situations before a game.
"In my own version I was visualizing how I wanted things to happen and how I should be whenever I threw a certain pitch. She has expanded on it. She has taken what I was doing in terms of visualization to a different level."
Like Anderson, Parker agrees that the pregame visualization exercises are a relaxing way to prepare.
"We find a place in the grass to lie down," Parker said. "She just tells us to take a deep breath, not only to calm us down but to help get us in game mode.
"We block out everything from the day that we can't control. We really get focused on how we want to feel and what our approach is going to be to that game. Everything Megan is doing is with a purpose."
The process
The process is not an easy one to explain. There are volumes of scientific studies on visualization, but Smith personally knows visualization works. She used it as a standout pitcher at the University of Tennessee under the direction of the athletic department's sports psychologist.
There are many steps in the process but Smith puts it into a simpler nutshell with five steps.
"You see yourself doing something and you feel it in your body," Smith said. "You are going to be activating the same muscles and the same parts of your brain as if you actually did the action. You just don't actually move."
Smith refers to the first four steps as "free" practice. The fifth step is the actual physical process.
"Confidence is so important," Smith said. "Preparation really feeds into confidence. If you feel prepared then you will feel like you are ready to go. That is one way you physically feel more ready as well as mentally.
"You get out of it what you put into it. I just tell them to have a great feeling."
Smith talks to the players in a calming voice during the visualization sessions. The pregame sessions usually last no more than 10 minutes.
"I am trying to feed them a message about the day, but in such a way that they are relaxed," Smith said. "We are not going to let in the `what ifs' or who the other team is. We are not letting in the outside things we can't control. Usually the message is what you are every day is what I want from you today.
"There are some days I will mix the message up a little bit. If they look like they are worn down or tired I will try to infuse some energy into it and have them breath in energy and things like that."
Anderson, Parker and Sanders are all expected to see playing time in the tournament. In a tournament situation every pitch and every play can be crucial. Smith plans to deal with those aspects in the visualization exercises, but she doesn't expect to make any major changes in how she has dealt with the pitchers all season.
"If I think it is going to be a game where there is going to be a lot of tension, or if it looks like it might be a close game, maybe I will try to keep the tone calmer and more stable," Smith said. "There are times when a game is going to get exciting, but you want to be smooth and steady. You don't want to be riding a rollercoaster.
"I am just asking them to throw strikes. I am not asking them to win the game by themselves."

In 2011 rumors that Selena Quintanilla's family was looking to make a hologram of the late tejano singer surfaced, but nothing was made official. The trend of bringing artists "back to life" through the use of holograms is becoming more widespread, with Michael Jackson and Tupac Shakur both hitting the stage after they've left this world. In fact, according to the Latin Times, Selena's family might just have been inspired by Michael Jackson's hologram at the Billboard Awards. After all, who wouldn't want to see the "Amor Prohibido" artist perform one more time?
But it seems it was too good to be true. In 2013 the Quintanilla family met with AV Concepts, a hologram specialty company to discuss the possibility of bringing Selena to the masses. Sadly, they were faced with two problems: First, the pictures they had of Selena weren't good enough to produce an image of good quality. "After the meeting, when we all went back to the bus, we all agreed that this was not good enough for the fans," Selena's brother A.B. Quintanilla told AP. He followed by stating that Selena looked like a ghost in the unclear images. "When it comes to Selena we all expect a quality product."
The family received suggestions to use images of Jennifer Lopez's body when she played the role of Selena, but A.B. didn't think that would make any sense to her fans. A.B. told AP, "If you love Selena, why would you want to see JLo's body with her head? It would be like Frankenstein."
The second (and most pressing) problem? The price quotes they received far exceeded their budget."The prices they're asking are ridiculous, and you have to move a lot of equipment only to show the hologram of one song," Selena's dad, Abraham Quintanilla Jr. told AP via phone. According to A.B., he heard some people asking for 3 million dollars for every 30 seconds of a song while others ask for $800,000 per minute—que como? A.B. added, "Imagine what it would cost to make a hologram of 'Como La Flor,' which lasts three minutes. No concert is that expensive. It's ridiculous."
For now, we'll be watching music videos on YouTube and pretending we're there. Sort of the same, right?

Boston's Operation Ceasefire and subsequent interventions showed that concentrating enforcement on chronic violent offenders in
hot-spots of violent crime can be highly effective in reducing gun violence. Researchers call this practice "focused deterrence."
Focused deterrence in the Boston Ceasefire program consisted of convincing gang members that just illegally carrying a gun as well as using it would result in a severe federal sentence without parole. Many other jurisdictions have emulated this approach.
Learn more about Operation Ceasefire.
Deterring gun violence by targeting drug dealers. NIJ is evaluating a Project Safe Neighborhoods-sponsored program in High Point, N.C., that is applying a focused deterrence approach to the city's gun problem by targeting drug dealers operating in open markets within certain city neighborhoods. The theory is that focusing on drug dealing also reduces gun violence, based on data that appear to show that the two are closely intertwined in High Point. The researchers believe this is because open-air drug markets:
Other negative effects of open-air drug markets include loss of control of public space; increased property damage, robbery and thefts; and the creation of "toxic" norms.
The High Point program is using focused deterrence by:

Daring to revisit the 'Wuthering Heights' moors
If the new "Wuthering Heights'' makes you uncomfortable, that's part of Andrea Arnold's game plan. The British director of "Red Road'' (2006) and "Fish Tank'' (2009) — modern-day dramas about tough-minded women making hard, often foolish decisions —knows that Emily Brontë's 1847 novel caused readers and critics of the period to squirm in distaste. A typical review, in Graham's Lady's Magazine, called the book "a compound of vulgar depravity and unnatural horrors.''
Arnold wants to rescue the stark wildness of Brontë's writing, to capture afresh its austerity and primitive emotionalism. She's a visionary, not a revisionist. Not for her the epic sweep of the 1939 William Wyler version starring Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon, the rococo surrealism of the 1954 Luis Bunuel film, or the prettified grit of the recent BBC adaptation with Tom Hardy. This "Wuthering Heights'' feels like a rough found object, filmed with hand-held camera, using natural light, shot in shallow, shifting focus. There's no soundtrack music other than the eternal groaning of the wind on the moors.
Oh, and Heathcliff's black. This isn't as much of a stretch as you might think, since Brontë described her foundling boy as "a dark-skinned gipsy,'' and the character is clearly from Away. The two actors portraying him — Solomon Glave as the young Heathcliff and James Howson as the older, returned version — possess a brooding, suppressed rage that stems as much from the Yorkshire locals' racism as from their distrust of any outsider. The ethnic change-up is a risk that works, only occasionally playing as postmodern gimmickry.
Arnold's a formidable director, intuitively visual and attuned to ruinous passions, and the first half of "Wuthering Heights'' is a strong, stark tale half-glimpsed by firelight. The movie deposits us in its world without formal introductions: a rough-hewn Christian father (Paul Hilton); his angry, jealous son (Lee Shaw); a young daughter, Catherine (Shannon Beer, thrillingly plain), in touch with the muck and majesty of the moors. The dialogue is minimal; these are people who don't see the need for language and who pay dearly for that belief.
Brontë's themes of wildness versus civilization are subtly illustrated through the use of windows: Heathcliff and Cathy inside looking out at nature, outside at night looking in at the lamplit domesticity of the Lintons. By contrast, the film's close-ups of wildlife — buzzing moths, caged birds — are heavy-handed.
Purists will kick, too, since Arnold has done away with the framing Lockwood story line and the entire second half of the novel. But "Wuthering Heights'' has always been impossible to shape for the screen. More difficult to swallow is the movie's second half, when the older Heathcliff returns from his wanderings to find Cathy (now played by Kaya Scodelario) married to Edgar Linton (James Northcote).
The director's semaphoric style — each scene a crudely fashioned dot we're meant to connect on our own — betrays her here, and the naturalism she captured so effortlessly in the early scenes turns pretentious and forced. The film scampers to keep up with its own narrative; Arnold is so much stronger on atmosphere than event that she comes to seem resentful of Brontë's plot, and the final scenes are less discomfiting than laughable. For all its daring, this "Wuthering Heights'' shows us a gifted filmmaker pursuing a path so rigorous she forgets where it was supposed to take her.

There has to be a bevy of high-fives going on in Milwaukee right now, as Harley-Davidson has finally unloaded MV Agusta from its holdings (we broke the news on the purchase earlier this morning). Harley-Davidson bought MV Agusta for $109 million back in 2008 (most of which was bad debt), and now just a little over two years later is making a tidy profit of…well, nothing. After wiping the books clean, investing in new infrastructre, and getting MV Agusta back on track with an all new model line-up (with a bike on the way), Harley-Davidson saw a paltry sum of €1 cross its desks. Harley-Davidson shares are down 3.5% as of this writing.
Instead Harley-Davidson is calling things even with the Castiglioni family, who would have seen a stock pay-out had the company exchanged hands with another buyer, like TPG for instance. The Castiglioni's stock was worth somewhere between €20-€30 million, and now with 100% ownership, the Italians are free to once again run MV Agusta into the ground, just like they did leading up to 2008.
Harley-Davidson & MV Agusta press releases are after the jump. One interesting point of note that taking the helm of MV Agusta is former Ducati General Manager and Chief Engineer Massimo Bordi. Bordi was once offered the job of CEO at Ducati, but turned it down, and the position was filled by Gabriele del Torchio, Ducati's current CEO. Bordi's last item of business at Ducati was trying to sell the Italian brand to Harley-Davidson, which makes for some good irony in today's announcement.

Did Corning's A Day Made of Glass viral video get you all excited about the possible display tech of the future?
Do you long for a Minority Report or Blade Runner style world, with futuristic displays on every glass surface?
Well, you might not have to wait all that long for it to become a reality as Samsung is has developed some 22-inch, see-through, displays. That's right - we're talking transparent TVs.
There are both monochrome and colour versions, both of which have a 1680x1050 resolution, and a 500:1 contrast ratio.
They are up to four times more transparent than a regular TV and are eco-friendly as they don't need backlights, as the natural light does the job instead. This means 90 per cent less juice is needed.
Production is ongoing, and Sammy sees businesses as the target for the displays.
As Non Phixion once said; "The future is now."

OBETZ, Ohio – Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.
The sound of time passing has a different meaning depending on where one is in his Columbus Crew career.
For 37-year-old Guillermo Barros Schelotto and 35-year-old Frankie Hejduk, it would be their wish that Father Time slow down so the success they've enjoyed over the years not be diminished with age.
As a brash, eager 20-year-old rookie midfielder, Dilly Duka has grown impatient, biding his time on a deep squad. He can't wait for the opportunity to show his stuff.
Duka and fellow rookies Othaniel Yanez and Shaun Francis have yet to play in an MLS game and get only snippets of the field otherwise, such as the 45 minutes each played in Saturday's exhibition against the Dayton Dutch Lions of the Premier Development League.
Getting an assist against an inferior opponent did nothing to brighten Duka's outlook.
"It doesn't mean anything," he said.
He's the most heralded of the three first-year players after being selected eighth in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft. Yanez, a midfielder, was 61st while the defender Francis was 63rd of the 64 chosen in January.
"I'm definitely frustrated," Duka said. "I'm really, really angry. I definitely don't like the way my rookie season is going so far. I'm a much better player than not making the [game day] roster or not getting even a little playing time, so I'm really frustrated."
The only league match that he made the 18-man roster for was at New York on May 20. His family and many of his friends from his hometown of Montville, N.J., were in attendance but he was not called upon.
"There's no way that I think, or people who know how I play with me think, that I'm not good enough," Duka said.
It's been 36 regular-season and playoff games since coach Robert Warzycha used a rookie—midfielder Alex Grendi played 10 minutes at Toronto FC on May 2, 2009.
"It's tough at times," Yanez said. "You have to be patient and wait your turn. He's the coach for a reason. He'll know when we're ready to go. Any minutes I can get I look forward to and prove to him that I do deserve some minutes and that's why I'm on the team."
The Crew has a nice problem: It is a winning team with a deep bench of veterans.
"The unfortunate thing for [Duka] as a high draft pick is he's coming to a team with a lot of depth," Crew technical director Brian Bliss said. "Some of his compatriots that he's played with his whole life are not playing all the time but playing regularly. Sometimes it's tough to accept. It's a tough roster to crack."
Bliss said the Crew rookies are a perfect example why the league needs to reestablish a reserve division that was dropped in 2009.
"I'm on the technical committee and I also sit on the subcommittee for the reserve league and the development of players," he said. "Of all the subcommittees that's probably the hottest topic and the most energy from the league standpoint has gone into revamping that in a new form for 2011."
Warzycha understands the frustrations felt by Duka and the other rookies but said playing time must be earned at practice.
"If they play better, they'll be on the field—but they're not,' he said. "It's up to them, but it's also the players playing with them. If Robbie Rogers and Eddie Gaven are playing well, then they have to be better than those guys."
Warzycha said the young players can learn a lot by going against the veterans every day and that could lead to playing time.
"You have to work harder because they are that good," he said. "If Dilly is better than what I have he is going to be on the field. Right now he is not."
Duka is not so sure. He feels he has trained hard enough to play but has been overlooked.
"When you do it and it doesn't work out you get so frustrated you want to go through the motions and not train," he said. "Some days it's like that because when you see you train hard and you're sure you should be out there and you still don't get an opportunity you just wonder."
The Crew resume play Saturday against D.C. United, and then have a U.S. Open Cup match June 29 that could present opportunities for those at the bottom of the roster.

I've heard that saying used many times. Have you? "Like father, like son." Most of the time the person saying it was pointing out a character trait or fault that a son demonstrated, indicating that he must have inherited it from his father. A similar saying is, "You're just like your father!" In my own case, it was my mother who was usually the one saying it to me. I almost always took it as a compliment because I wanted to be like my dad. He was a character at times, playing pranks on my mother! And, of course, I was always ready to be of service to him if he could use my help!
I've also heard the phrase "Like mother, like daughter", and it was usually said as a compliment. Those sayings, or something equivalent to them, go back many centuries in history. My favorite one is "A chip off the old block". I guess it's all part of the "family resemblance" that sets us apart from other families. Like it or not, know it or not, family members have a tendency to "rub off" on one another, and people who have been around us for a while notice those resemblances, and they are often much more than just "skin-deep",
In John 5:17, the Lord Jesus made the statement: "My Father is working until now, and I am working." The Jews correctly assumed that Jesus was claiming to be God. Throughout the rest of the chapter (verses 19-47), the Lord Jesus goes into much greater detail to explain and add further proof of His deity. Jesus claims equality with God in seven areas and we are going to look at two of them in this study.
I. EQUAL IN WORKING (verse 19)
In the midst of their angry words and threats, the Lord Jesus begins His explanation of His relationship to God the Father by swearing an oath to them. "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, those things the Son also does in like manner." By using the Greek and Hebrew words "amein, amein" (or amen, amen), Jesus is saying that what He is about to tell them is first-hand information. He is claiming that He knows these things directly, by personal experience, and therefore they are true.
The Bible is full of examples of God's power and might. Those examples are often called miracles. Dynamis is the Greek word for power, might, or strength. The word is found 118 times in the New Testament, usually in conjunction with the performance of miracles by Jesus. How many times do you think the word "dynamis" is found in the Gospel of John? If you guessed "zero", you would be correct. In the whole Gospel of John, all 21 chapters, there is not even one mention of that word. Instead, we find the repeated use of the Greek word "dynatai" which means "powerless". That is a new insight for me personally. I did not know that previously.
Do you ever feel powerless to please God, powerless to serve God? If not, you should, because you are! As human beings, we are all powerless to do God's will and God's work by our own enabling. To disagree with that statement would be to consider oneself as being better and greater than the Lord Jesus Christ. He was a perfect, sinless Man, but He was still a man. In His case He had both a human and a divine nature. In the literal Greek text, Jesus is saying, "Cannot the Son do for Himself anything except what He sees the Father doing." The word "cannot" is the Greek word "dynatai" (powerless). In other words, Jesus is watching as the Father does the miracle through Him. By saying those words to his accusers, He is telling them that they are actually blaming the Father for doing those miracles on the Sabbath day. Jesus is just doing the will of the Father by the power of the Father. This information is going beyond the capability of our human understanding to comprehend completely. The following true illustration will give us another person's perspective.
Daniel Webster, the 19th century statesman, once dined in Boston with some influential people. Soon the conversation turned to Christianity. Webster, a convinced Christian, confessed his belief in Jesus Christ and His atoning work. A Unitarian minister asked, "Mr. Webster, can you comprehend how Jesus Christ could be both God and man?"
"No sir, I cannot understand it:, replied Webster, "and I would be ashamed to acknowledge Christ as my Savior if I could understand it. He could be no greater than myself."
In my Bible, verse 19 ends with the words "in like manner". In verse 17, when Jesus said "My Father is working until now, and I am working", the Jews thought that Jesus was saying that He was working independently of the Father, when actually the reverse was true. Jesus was equal to the Father in nature as God, but dependent upon the Father in His human nature as a man. Jesus' equality with God was also demonstrated by His working together with the Father in perfect harmony. This is one of the great mysteries of the Bible – how Jesus Christ can be fully God and fully man, and be able to function in both capacities without compromising either of them. Are you still with me? That was a difficult sentence to formulate! I hope it helps you realize the need for Jesus' total dependence upon the Father in order to do the works of God.
In Psalm 40:7-8, king David says, "Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is written of me; I delight to do Thy will, O my God; Thy Law is within my heart." I believe that David is speaking prophetically in those verses because the author of Hebrews twice quotes those words almost exactly when referring to Jesus. Hebrews 10:7 says, "Behold, I have come (In the scroll of the book it is written of me) to do Thy will, O God." Then again, in verse 9, "Behold, I have come to do Thy will." And Jesus did just that. In His prayer to the Father in John 17, Jesus said in verse 4, "I glorified Thee on earth, having accomplished the work which Thou hast given Me to do."
May that be our goal in life: to accomplish the work that God has given each of us to do.
II. EQUAL IN KNOWING (verse 20)
Verse 20 reads: "For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing, and even greater works than these will He show Him, that you may marvel." Jesus points out that His knowledge of the Father is by-far superior to theirs. It is a knowledge that only the Son of God could have. God had concealed many things from Jesus' accusers. There are mysteries in the Bible that we don't understand – things beyond our human comprehension. We are also given a limited knowledge of God's working throughout history and the details of our future. But Jesus is saying that God the Father has withheld nothing from Him. Then Jesus continues by saying "greater works than these will He show Him, that you may marvel." We'll see what He means in the next verse of Scripture. A person's knowledge gives him authority and earns him respect if that knowledge is used properly. I think that Jesus is communicating to them that, because He has the knowledge that belongs only to God, He should be acknowledged as God and worshipped as God as a result.
As we look at the Father's motive for giving this knowledge to Jesus, you might agree with me that the first part of verse 20 may be an even stronger evidence that Jesus Christ is God. The verse begins with the words "For the Father loves the Son". The Greek word for "loves" is "phileo". It speaks of family-love, or love for an intimate friend. It is this special, Fatherly love that motivated God the Father to reveal all things to His Son. The more scholarly Jews, versed in the writings of the Law and the Prophets, should have realized the similarity of Jesus' words to the prophecy written down by Isaiah in Isaiah 42:1. It reads: "Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold; My chosen one in whom My soul delights. I have put my spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the nations." It's a prophesy concerning the Messiah.
What does the Father say about His Son in the New Testament? At Jesus' baptism, the Father spoke aloud from the heavens introducing the world to His Son by saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased." (Mt. 3:17; Mk. 1:11; Lk. 3:22). The Father speaks one more time from the cloud on the mount of transfiguration, saying to Peter, James, and John, This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!" (Mt. 17:5; Mk. 9:7; Lk. 9:35 ). The Lord Jesus was the Father's delight and source of Fatherly admiration and pleasure. This has been true from all eternity. What a testimony to the deity of Christ, coming from His own Father!
Tying all those verses and their meanings together, I like the beautiful summary-statement that John Piper makes. "He is well-pleased with His Son. His soul delights in the Son. When He looks at His Son, He enjoys and admires and cherishes and prizes and relishes what He sees."
Let's see if we can gain a perspective on the Son's helplessness as a Man to do the works of God, having to rely totally on the Father's enabling for everything that He did; and the Loving heavenly Father working together with His Son to accomplish their work together. Have you ever wondered what that must have been like for Jesus to have been totally dependent upon His Father during His entire life on this earth? I've been looking for some basis of comparison here in the United States of America, and I think I may have found it. We live in the first generation that has electronic media at their fingertips 24/7. According to the Pew Research Center, 90% of Americans own a phone. 67% of cell-phone owners find themselves checking their phone for messages, alerts, or calls – even when they don't notice their phones ringing or vibrating. Studies have talked about all the things we choose to use our cell phones and smart phones to do for us: such as scheduling meetings, finding places to eat, things to do, checking scores of sporting events, surfing the web, talking, texting, gaming, social media, and the list goes on. Adding up all the ways these phones are being used, based on surveys, one internet trends report said that the average person checks their phone 150 times a day. Add to this the personal use of desktop computers, laptops, notebooks, blue-tooths, etc.
My purpose is not to be judgmental but to cause us to see how dependent many of us are upon our phones and computers. We've made choices in our use of them, and now many of us are so dependent on them that we don't see how we can live without them.
When we look at what Jesus says about His total dependence on the Father, we realize that His words have been verified by the choices He has made throughout His own life. How did the Lord Jesus spent His time on this earth? We find in the Scriptures that Jesus spent much time in prayer and the study of the Scriptures. He also spent a lot of time teaching the apostles, witnessing to the lost, and serving the needs of people. He did all those things because that's what the Father wanted Him to do and empowered him to do; and that's what brought Him joy and personal satisfaction.
I hope that you believe that Jesus Christ is God. If so, I hope that you've responded by committing yourself to Him as your God, your Lord and Ruler, letting Him take charge of your life from moment-to-moment until you see Him face-to-face.
As Christians, we are dependents, and we will never outgrow that dependency during our lifetimes on this earth. We are part of His family and He has claimed us as his children. By His enabling, let's do the will of Him who adopted us, lovingly depending upon Him to do what He wants to accomplish in our lives because of His great love for us.
May our lives and the use of our time reflect the priorities of Christ, and may our motives reflect the love of Christ.
I'll see you at the next construction site. The Lord Jesus has much more to tell us about His deity.

Figure 6. A screenshot of the c99 PHP shell
The c99 PHP utility provides functionality for listing files, brute-forcing FTP passwords, updating itself, executing shell commands and PHP code. It also provides for connecting to MySQL databases, and initiating a connect-back shell session. In many ways it can be considered the web equivalent of the rootkits that successful attackers often download. In other ways it is the malware equivalent of PHPShell itself. c99 is often one of the utility programs that is either downloaded if a web server is vulnerable due to being misconfigured, or can be used in a remote file include attack to try and execute shell commands on a vulnerable server. Figure 6 provides a screenshot of the c99 PHP shell running on a web server.
There are similar programs such the r57 shell which have equivalent functionality allowing the attacker to view files and directories, execute shell commands and some also have database integration. This allows an attacker to connect to MySQL, postgresql or other databases if they can guess a username and password which has access. Other 'helper' programs are very simple and only provide functionality to execute shell commands.

More than 800 children adopted or matched so far in 2013
16 of 20 longest waiting kids have been matched with families; Including longest waiting child who had been waiting over 16 years
RICHMOND- Governor Bob McDonnell announced today that since January more than 800 children from Virginia's foster care system have been adopted or matched with a family who is going through the process of adopting. The announcement continues the focus Governor McDonnell has placed on foster care and adoption since the launch of the "Virginia Adopts: Campaign for 1,000" in May.
Speaking about today's announcement, Governor McDonnell said, "We are shining a light on some of the most vulnerable Virginians: kids who, through no fault of their own, do not have a family to count on for love and support. Children of all ages need a committed family, but the statistics on children who age out of the foster care system are particularly staggering. 94 percent will never finish college and many will be homeless within a year. I commend Secretary Kelly and the many dedicated Department of Social Services employees who champion this cause day in and day out and who have worked tirelessly to reach this milestone."
As a result of this Campaign, 16 of the 20 longest waiting youth are among the 800 children who have been adopted or matched with families. One of the longest waiting children who was recently matched had been in the foster care system for over 16 years and was eligible for adoption for 14 years. Speaking about the longest waiting youth, Commissioner Margaret Schultze of the Virginia Department of Social Services said, "We are happy that the 'Campaign for 1,000' has brought attention to these children who are without a long-term, loving family. The spotlight the Governor brings to this issue increases our chances to find parents and families."
In May, Governor McDonnell launched the "Virginia Adopts: Campaign for 1,000" from the steps of the Governor's Mansion. Former First Lady Anne Holton joined Governor McDonnell at the launch. In late July, the Campaign held informational rallies in nine localities. More than 900 participants attended these events where potential adoptive parents learned more about children waiting for adoption. These events were supported by Casey Family Programs, a national foundation working to improve foster care, which has supplied funding and support to the Campaign.
One hundred available children have been profiled in the Campaign's first social media program: "100 Kids, 100 Days," which highlighted an individual child's picture and biographical data each day since July. Secretary of the Commonwealth Janet Kelly, who spearheads the Campaign for 1,000 on behalf of the Administration, stated, "We are encouraged by the success of the '100 Kids, 100 Days' program, which has received tremendous exposure online. Many people have told us they learned about children waiting for families through Twitter and Facebook, and some parents have come forward specifically for children we profiled. For kids waiting for an adoptive family, these efforts create opportunities for a forever home."
The Campaign's next social media efforts will highlight Virginians' support for adoption and provide a focus on foster children who are 16 years and older. These teenagers who are approaching the age of 18 are most at risk of aging out of the foster care system without being matched with a permanent family.
The Campaign for 1,000 leverages $1.5 million in new funding that is dedicated to extreme recruitment, general recruitment, and post adoptive services. Secretary of Health and Human Services Dr. Bill Hazel stated, "Initial grants were recently awarded, and will help greatly with our efforts to find permanent homes for foster children. As soon as the goal of matching 1,000 children is met, the focus will shift to those that have become available for adoption in recent months, since about 40 new children become available for adoption each month in Virginia. Our goal is to surpass the number of children waiting with a pool of parents who want to adopt out of the foster care system."
Secretary Kelly said, "Finding 1,000 permanent homes for children in our foster care system has been an ambitious undertaking, and we are learning a great deal about the system and the challenges that these children face in becoming adopted. We are excited about the new attention the campaign brings to these children, but we want to work on solidifying Virginia's commitment to these children in the weeks and months ahead. We still have a lot of work to do."

Here, the client was walking in the parking lot of a shopping center in South Orange County. She was walking to her car, when the defendant, leaving her parking space, struck the Plaintiff, our client. The client was taken by ambulance to a local hospital. She had multiple complaints, but there were issues in proving whether she hit her head, as there were no medical records to support this claim. Multiple depositions, and multiple defense medical exams were conducted, and at the mediation, the case settled for an amount into the 6 figures.

I know we are supposed to call UC for info about dorm rooms, but it would be nice to see it here.
For instance, I called June 4 and heard that the rooms have 2 beds and cost $180 for the four days. You have to take a room for 4 days, whether you use all the days or not.
Two dorms will be used. Brotherton Hall, which is newest and also looks farthest from parking, will be used first, and if it fills, then Cobb Hall, which is adjacent to some parking, will be used next. I think I heard that two rooms share a bath and bring your own sheets but am not sure.
Anyway, it would be nice to have something official on the forum.
UC's number is 304-357-4807 and I was referred to Renalda.

Zelikow testifies White House ordered anti-torture memo destroyed
On Wednesday, May 12, UVA history professor Philip Zelikow testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee about his role in the internal debates in the Bush Administration over whether the Central Intelligence Agency should use torture techniques such as waterboarding on prisoners captured in the war on terror. Zelikow told the committee [pdf] that in February 2006, nearly a year after resigning his post as director of UVA's Miller Center of Public Affairs to serve as State Department Counselor under President Bush, he issued a memo advising against such tactics on legal grounds. According to Zelikow, White House officials told him "that copies of my memo should be collected and destroyed." Zelikow reported that the request "did not seem appropriate and I ignored it." Instead, he filed the memo in the State Department archives, where it is presently classified. Zelikow would leave the State Department and return to UVA to teach in 2007.

A Patriot in the best sense of the word.
I can't help but feel Mr. Zelikow is trying to cover himself with this testimony. By the time he joined the Bush Administration, he should have known what kind of people he was working for. However, the fact that he is coming forth now and testifying about this issue is to his credit. This country has engaged in torture and mistreatment of prisoners, in direct violation of the Geneva conventions, US law as well as simple human decency, and I thank Mr. Zelikow for him speaking out on this matter. Now if we could only get the Obama administration to fulfill their constitutional duty and hold those responsible to account for their actions. Instead of being interviewed by Fox News, Dick Cheney should be dragged into a court of law, and put in front of federal prosecutors and a grand jury. If "Tricky Dick" (version 2.0) wants to defend his actions, let him do so in front a judge.
I hope that when (not if) we get hit again it is proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that we had someone in custody who was aware and their info could have prevented the disaster. Then you pampered little snowflakes will learn that if your opponent brings a knife to a boxing match it is ok to go get your gun.
Waterboarding is constitutional and nessasary when it it authorized by elected officials (the president) who considers the clear and present danger. This same man (the president) has the key to send nuclear weapons to kill potentially millions of people. If we trust his judgement on one we should trust his judgement on the other.
As for his legal opinions there are scholars that disagree.
I would like it if he named the name of the person that ordered the memos destroyed. "white House officials" sounds like a Denzel Washington movie. If your going to man up then man up for real.
My ID is irrelevant as I am not standing on my credentials other than being a US citizen. The ability to voice your opinion without retribution brings out the truth. I am not the one making claims against the staff of the leader of the most powerful nation on earth. If I were I would "man up" in a heartbeat because it would be relevant. My blog was an assertion of beliefs, not an assertion of unsubstanuated facts against the Presidents staff.
No, your blog postings are cowardly. And the ability to voice your opinions without fear of retribution are the hallmark of a coward. As to your reasoning that the president has constitutional powers to authorise the use of torture on anybody is sick and insane. Your assertion (voiced ad nauseum by your best friend, Dick Cheney) is that by using these methods of torturing suspects that we avoided another 9/11 style attack on the country under the sturdy and careful leadership of the Bush Administration. However, you seem to forget the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of American troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and believe me, those guys are getting hit on a regular basis. Why the hell would Al-queda and/or the Taliban take the time, effort and trouble of hitting the US again, when they have, what the armchair quarterbacks on the Sunday News shows, call a "Target Rich" environment. Our guys over there are paying for the stupidity and mendacity of the Bush Administration, and it looks like Oabama is about to make it a whole lot worse in Pakistan.
Only weak, cowardly and ultimately terrified people can justify the torture of another human being. And only sadistic little "Eichmanns" can carry it out. It's my understanding one of these alleged terror suspects had been waterboarded well over 80 times or so. Maybe more. and it revealed no information worth using. Despite the fact he had previously cooperated with his interrogators and had provided useful intel. Before he was tortured.
The point I want to make is that after about the 10th or 11th time, you would think, maybe, he wasn't going to tell you what you wanted to hear. A compassionate, thinking person might come to the conclusion that this is not working, and try something new, like treating them with some dignity and respect. Not because they deserve it, or because it's the politically correct, kumbaya thing to do, but because you might actually get some useful information out of him. A truly sick and venal person, on the other hand, would cheerfully keep dunking him until his superiors told him to stop. After all, he was only following orders.
So, by your reading of the constitution, then, Barack Obama has the legal, constitutionally authorized power to decide that anyone he thinks is a threat to the country can be taken away and tortured, all in the name of National Security. Do you really mean to support such a position. If that's the case, I can easily see why you wish to remain an anonymous coward on the internet.
One last thing. Since you seem to have a particular disgust with "unsubstantiated facts," I would guess you must feel a particular revulsion at all of the lies that were told to get our country into this awful war in the first place. To wit;
Dick Cheney: There is no doubt...no doubt...that Saddam Hussien has weapons of mass destructions.
George Bush; We found the weapons of mass destruction.
Donald Rumsfeld; We know where the weapons of mass destruction are. They are north, east, south and west of Baghdad.
Dick Cheney; It's a known fact that Mohammed Atta, the leader of the September 11 highjackers, had a secret meeting in Prague just a few months before the attacks.
Unsubstantiated facts? No, just flat out lies.
Pete Deer
Dear Pete,
I know you meant well but when you refused to beat the location of my daughter out of that kidnapper and she died I cannot help but think you are nothing but a coward in the face of danger.
You see Pete it takes a combination of common sense, loyalty, intelligence and bravery to keep peace in a world with evil all around. These are traits that you do not seem to posess, nor understand, so I am going to find a real man to protect me from these dangers.
While I expected you to look after my daughter, I would never have expected you to keep me safe from terrorists, so that is why I voted for people in the government who I feel have what it takes to do so. I put my faith in them for the alloted time and if they let me down I will vote for others until I get it right.
I know you and I disagree on the definition of torture, I do not consider waterboarding torture for the exact reason you cited. If it weere that bad I am sure the beans would have been spilled after the first time not the 80th. I think they should have tried something harsher. Perhaps they could have placed them in a building, hit it with an airliner and let them make the choice to stay and burn or jump 80 floors to their death. I'll bet the folks that were forced to make that decision would have told anything to get out of that circumstance.
Sarah Miles
I notice that instead of speaking to each point I bring up, you've resorted to personalizing the issue by bringing a loved into the mix. It's actually quite ridiculous. It's a typical technique employed by those who can't win an argument on it's merits, so instead you seek to personalize it by implying a clear and present danger to your daughter as an example. Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck would be proud of you.
It's pathetic, and since this argument is between me and you, what exactly does your daughter have to do with it? You want to use her as some kind of patriotic shield or something? There is something really wrong in this country when we have to have a discussion of justification of torture, under any circumstances.
Common sense, loyalty, intelligence and bravery. When I look at the past 8 years of the Bush administration (and the first 100 days of the currrent one), your use of those terms seem like a sick joke. As for your Jack Bauer fantasy of torturing your daughter's kidnapper, all I can say is you must have a really sick imagination.
Why, if torture is so effective, why don't we do it on all classes of criminals; pickpockets, dope smokers, corporate pigs who embezzle/bankrupt their companies while leaving the workers to fend for themselves? I worked real well during the Spanish Inquisition. Who would have thought all those witches and heretics were such a danger to the Holy Roman Church, eh? And the Salem Witch trials? Again, what a high point of American jurisprudence. Confess or be tortured. They must have been guilty, otherwise why would they be accused in the first place.
I understand it works real well in other places too, like the former USSR and present day China. Maybe we could import some torture specialists from North Korea? I bet they would get us all the information we need, and then some. Too bad Idi Amin's dead now, I bet he would have made a great Gitmo interrogator.
Your willingness to subvert our constitution and our rule of law (such as it is) does nothing to help our country and evertything to destroy it. If Dick Cheney wants to talk about the use of "enhanced interogation techniques," and how effective they were in protecting our country from further attack, I say let him do so. Under oath. In front of the Senate Judiciary committee. Otherwise, Cheney, and Bush, Rumsfeld, Rice, Yoo...the whole lot, are nothing more than a bunch of unindicted co-conspirators (war criminals) who have nothing but contempt for our constitutional republic.
Pete Deer
No, if you're going to man up, you wouldn't hide behind a fake name while posting comments in a public forum.

Thornhill Community Academy's straight-talking headteacher Jonny Mitchell showed the world what life in the classroom is really like in the award-winning TV documentary series Educating Yorkshire.
Now he writes exclusively for us.
A couple of weeks ago, Luis Suarez nipped out for a bite to eat. An Italian, in fact. It would be difficult to question his choice normally, were it not to have happened on the football field before a worldwide audience of many millions. But what has followed is simply phenomenal. O course we should be outraged by his actions, yes perhaps he deserves the vilification he is going to have to endure for the rest of his career, and yes perhaps he merits a lengthy ban for a gross error of judgement. Maybe he thought the cameras wouldn't pick it up. In any case, they did, and, as far as footballing reputation is concerned, he's pretty much toast.
But let's face facts. The man clearly has issues. Some people achieve idiocy, some develop idiocy, and others have idiocy thrust upon them. He's an extraordinarily talented footballer, maybe even meriting the epithet of "genius", so often bandied around these days. But he's a flawed genius, of that there is no doubt. The sort of genius who is prone either to monumental cock-ups or abject self-destruction.
The Amy Winehouse, the Ernest Hemingway, the Kurt Cobain of the football field. And just another flawed footballing genius like George Best, Paul Gascoigne and Zinedine Zidane before him. Beckham was sent off against Argentina for kicking out, albeit very softly, at Diego Simeone in 1998. Rooney followed suit a couple of World Cups later against Portugal. Do you think their respective managers and team mates didn't remind everyone to keep their sang-froid and not to risk being sent off? I think not, somehow. But they still did it, and England went on to lose the games, unsurprisingly. The pressure of expectation, edge and reputation weighing on these people's shoulders leads them to do "little" things which have such toe-curlingly vast repercussions. Irrespective of who they are, how much they get paid, etc, though, surely we have to accept some of the blame for these sporadic meltdowns and random departures into the ludicrous world of self-annihilation. Footballers, actors, singers, celebrities are under such scrutiny, with the general public and the media delving into the intimate minutiae of their lives and careers constantly, that it is perhaps understandable mistakes are made. I am pretty sure the Suarez incident has happened many times before, in previous footballing eras, and not a dickie-bird has been said or written.
It will hve passed as entertainment in the working class game. We need only remember Vinnie Jones' ball-tampering episode with Gazza to prove it.
You would think this sort of behaviour is restricted to the high-octane, quasi-celebrity domain of the footballing world. But you'd be wrong.
Some of the most famously self-destructive icons of recent years have come from all over the spectrum; actors, poets, artists, musicians, politicians, just to provide a handful of examples.
One of the most poignant instances of self-destruction was the suicide of Sylvia Plaith. By the age of only 30, she had suffered various mental breakdowns and had attempted suicide. She had also written some of the most beautiful prose ever produced. Yet still, she buried her head in the oven, after making sure her children could not get into the kitchen, and gassed herself to death. Virginia Woolf nonchalantly put on an overcoat, filled the pockets with heavy stones, and calmly walked into the River Ouse. Her body was found almost a month later. What most critics and historians agree on, however, is that their work was the result not just of their genius, but also of the flaws it brought with it. Self-destruction and fast-living take people to the limit of their sanity, the point at which they produce the very best output, be it art, music or prose. A tipping point, but also sometimes the point of no return.
So perhaps we should rethink how we treat the likes of Suarez.
Accept that he is always going to court controversy, perhaps even violently assault someone, but remain confident that he can thrill us with his flair and ability. Nobody remembers a gentleman, only the loose cannon. And just, sometimes, we should recognise that flaws are almost a necessary part of genius.
Self-destruction and idiotic actions will be, and always have been, glamorised, because they put bums on seats. and give us, the ever-grateful public, something to argue about.

7 sharp
The core problem for this format will almost certainly be the constraints imposed by the lite/humour angle and the breezy, fast tempo envisaged. The 7pm slot following the main news is entrenched as current affairs time in the minds of the viewers since Holmes started in 1989. Reducing that element to a secondary function, or to have it replaced with pure entertainment (as they threaten to do) will create an uneasy tension. Many lead stories - the ones the nation talks about and the ones they presumably will have to feature or mention - are tragedy and death. How on earth will a frivilous show (like Seven Sharp is promoted as being) possibly deal with that somber content matter? It can't and they won't.
They cannot maintain the playful vibe they are after with these stories so the result will be they just won't be featured or dealt with at all. There will be days when there is a major tragedy - something unavoidable with wall-to-wall coverage - and it will be awkward because they can't touch it. There will be days when death and suffering and woe are occupying everyone's attention and what are the Seven Sharp team supposed to do? Make some jokes about it? It won't be possible. Avoid saying anything about it at all, like it never happened? That's just not possible either. The limitations will show up fairly early. Going with a more orthodox show format like Holmes or Campbell Live gives a flexibility to deal with anything - funny, sad, flippant, serious. Seven Sharp will never be able to manage that based on the little I've seen.
The other negative is that it is TVNZ. They have an establishment, institutional, bureacratic method and many shows have withered under that fatal, fetid breath of conformism and interference that kills the creative talent. Making anything on TV One "sharp" in a 7pm slot will be impossible. They are not capable of it. They can't be cutting and edgy because of the time it airs and the management will militate against pushing things too far.
So it is going to be bland as a matter of course; therefore the measure of success for the show for me will be to what extent the presenters are allowed to express their personalities. If the three of them can be themselves and even more importantly gel together then it could be something, but this will be against all the odds. John Campbell is kicking arse at the moment so they will need plenty of breaks - good luck to those poor bastards, they'll be needing it.

David Rudisha is facing a fight to be fit for the Athletic World Championships in Moscow after sustaining a knee injury.
"He (Rudisha) was jogging inside Central Park when he realised something was the matter with his knee," stated Rudisha's coach to reporters.
Rudisha will miss around three weeks whilst he tries to regain his fitness meaning he is a serious doubt for the Kenyan national trials.
Although the Kenyan's start in the trials is doubtful, as the world record holder in the 800m it is likely he will be given a wildcard and will not have to qualify. Nevertheless Rudisha will miss a chance to prove his worth, as he will miss this year's national championships.
His coach, Colm O'Connell, is upbeat about his chances saying Rudisha will not need surgery.
"He does not need to run at the trials to be selected for the world championships. He will only run if he feels comfortable," continued O'Connell.
"We were already panicking, but we were assured by medical specialists after the second scan that he does not need an operation. But he needs between two to three weeks to rest."
Rudisha has already demonstrated his strength this year, by setting the world leading time of 1:43.87 in his IAAF Diamond League debut this season.
"We really need him in the team to Moscow because of his experience and attitude. We hope he recovers in time," stated Athletics Kenya's vice president, David Okeyo, when asked about the chances of Rudisha managing the competition.
Kenya's team for the Moscow event will be selected on July 13, and although Rudisha might not be ready by then, it is more than likely for him to be chosen ahead of Timothy Kitum and Antony Chemut.

DEP Order Reopens Raritan Bay and Little Egg Harbor Beds
(13/P36) TRENTON – Shellfish beds in the Little Egg Harbor section of Barnegat Bay reopened at sunrise today and beds in all of Raritan Bay will reopen at sunrise on Monday, April 15, as a result of an Administrative Order signed by Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Commissioner Bob Martin.
With the resumption of shellfish harvesting in both areas, all of New Jersey's shellfish beds that were once closed as a result of Superstorm Sandy will now return to the classifications they had before the storm hit at the end of October.
"It has been a long road for many shellfish harvesters who have had their livelihoods compromised by Superstorm Sandy," Commissioner Martin said. "The shellfish industry is very important to the state. I commend the industry for working cooperatively with us to protect public health. The reopening of Raritan Bay shellfish beds is particularly significant because these beds provide the largest area in the state for harvesting of hard clams."
The only section of Barnegat Bay that remained closed to shellfish harvesting as of last week was a small portion of Little Egg Harbor – although oyster harvesting was permitted. DEP tissue sampling of clams from this area of the bay now meet standards set by the National Shellfish Sanitation Program, a state and federal cooperative effort that monitors and ensures the health safety of shellfish.
The DEP monitors more than 720,000 acres of commercial shellfish beds in the state's ocean waters and estuaries as well as all recreational harvesting. Bivalves in these beds such as clams, oysters and mussels are filter feeders that can accumulate harmful bacteria carried into waterways.
Superstorm Sandy impacted shellfish beds primarily by causing wastewater system failures and overflows into coastal waters. Most discharges stopped shortly after the storm. But by then water temperatures had dropped, slowing down the metabolism of the shellfish. In some areas of the state, shellfish had difficulty purging themselves of viruses and bacteria.
The DEP continue to work with the New Jersey Department of Health and U.S. Food and Drug Administration to monitor these beds, reopening them to commercial and recreational harvesting when tissue samples meet health safety standards.
To see a copy of today's signed order and a map showing the exact location of the shellfish beds that will reopen on Friday and Monday, visit: http://www.state.nj.us/dep/wms/bmw/sandy/20130411lehandallsigned.pdf
