I think I've said this a hundred times, as have many others. But this article in Thursday's Times is a good moment to revisit the point. As Patrick Healy explains, it is simply a fallacy to claim that winning a state's Democratic primary means you're more likely to win that state in the general election or that your opponent can't win it.
The dynamics are simply different between general elections and primaries. You have on the one hand patterns and preferences that Democratic voters show for different candidates in Democratic primaries. Then you have the separate question of whether these same voters will vote for the Democratic or the Republican nominee in the general. One is simply not predictive of the other. It could be — if one candidate's voters simply refuse to vote for the other candidate. But who wins a primary doesn't tell you that.
And it's really not a big mystery that the argument doesn't hold up because it wasn't devised or conceived as an electoral argument. It's a political argument — one that only really came into operation at the point at which the Clinton campaign realized that it was far enough behind that it's path to the nomination required making the argument to superdelegates that she's electable and Obama is not.
That's not to say there isn't a difference between the two as general election candidates — at least in their current incarnations. There is. It's just not this big state nonsense. Peter Hart who, for what it's worth is actually part of the same polling firm as Hillary's new pollster/strategist Geoff Garin (though himself not working with either candidate), comes much closer to the mark when he says in the Times article, "Hillary goes deeper and stronger in the Democratic base than Obama, but her challenge is that she doesn't go as wide. Obama goes much further reaching into the independent and Republican vote, and has a greater chance of creating a new electoral map for the Democrats."
That's the essence of it. But there's actually a little more than that too when you combine that partisan analysis with a geographical one.
There's not a lot of good or consistent polling state by state yet. But we were looking today at what polling data is out there. Clinton is running a bit better against McCain in the rustbelt states that sit just above the Mason-Dixon line. That's principally Ohio (see Ohio polls) and Pennsylvania (see PA polls). The state where you see this pattern more wildly than anywhere is in Kentucky. (See KY polls). Clinton loses to McCain there but respectably, whereas Obama simply gets slaughtered. SurveyUSA has polled the state three times in the last eight weeks and the last two times McCain beats Obama better than two to one.
Kentucky isn't really an issue in itself. It's highly unlikely either Democrat would win it. But it's the best example I've seen where Clinton appears to run dramatically stronger than Obama.
But this isn't the whole story.
In a whole arc of territory stretching from the Great Lakes through the upper Midwest down into the inter-mountain West Obama consistently runs stronger than Hillary. Some of these states are ones Democrats really must win in order to win a general election — states like Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan.
Others are states red states that have been trending blue but which Obama appears able to put in play while Hillary can't. Colorado is a good example. The last four polls of the state show Obama tied or ahead of McCain while McCain beats Hillary handily. The most recent poll — April 21st — has Obama beating McCain by 3 points while McCain is beating Hillary by 14 points.
Given the spottiness of state by state polls, for now it's best to watch the national popular vote polls, which show the two Democrats basically even in how they'd face McCain. But there are differences. They run better in different parts of the country. But the 'big state' argument is just malarkey, an artifact of the spin necessities of the post-Super Tuesday campaign.

Continued from the previous post, which was the first of four outlining the four specific areas that Nephi wrote about finding in the specific area of their first landing (1 Nephi 18:24-25)--not just anywhere in the Land of Promise, but the area where they first landed. The first of these, the landing site at Coquimbo Bay was covered in the last post. The second point is covered in this post.
2. A climate and soil that would grow their
seeds from Jerusalem exceedingly and provide an abundant crop;
As mentioned in the earlier post
on this subject (November 1, 2014 "Mormon's Abridgement Part XIII-We Did Find
Upon the Land of Promise"), there are five Mediterranean Climates in the
world—the first is around the Mediterranean Sea and where Jerusalem lies, which
is where the seeds were grown that Lehi brought with him and planted in the
Land of Promise upon first landing (1 Nephi 18:24). Only two of these climates
are located in the Western Hemisphere, and only one anywhere in the world
completely matches the descriptions covered in the ocean voyage Nephi
That one climate which Lehi's
seeds would have required to grow exceedingly and provide an abundant crop (1
Nephi 18:24) and matches soil, soil group, temperature, precipitation, etc., as that of Jerusalem, is found in the west coastal region of Chile along the 30º south
latitude, adjacent to Coquimbo Bay where Lehi would have had to have landed
(see last post).
Consequently, just east
of La Serena, runs the Elqui Valley, known world-wide for its clear sky and
privileged weather, is today carpeted with a broad cover of striated green.
When Lehi landed, it would have appeared much like Jerusalem, with its ideal
semiarid climate and warm dry summers with cool, rainy winters (Mediterranean Climate).
Top: Map of the Elqui Valley running to the
east of La Serena, up through the valleys and canyon to the mountains. Through
the middle runs the Elqui River (yellow arrow), a fast moving, fresh water
source for planting and drinking. Today, this area (blue circle) begins inland
because of the encroachment of the city (red arrow)—but originally, it ran
clear to the coast; Bottom: a view of the valley as it moves upward from La
The well-ventilated,
dry Elqui Valley is a vibrant and verdant strip of land nestled into the buxom
foothills of the Andes, where vegetables, fruits, trees, vines and grapes are
grown. With the Andes Mountains to the east, the Atacama Desert to the north the
Pacific Ocean to the west, and a long chain of rocky islands reaching south to
the Antarctic that complete the protective ring, it is considered an
agricultural and viticultural paradise, with its heavy "brown" soils, rich in
nutrients and capable of storing water—identical with that of Jerusalem—where
fresh produce is grown year round and exported to even California in the winter.
The semi-arid surroundings, moderated by sea breezes of the ocean, provide a
fertile valley with its Mediterranean Climate, excellent water supply from the
Elqui River and its tributaries, which is essential for the excellent growth of
produce of wheat, maize, corn, peppers, potatoes, tomatoes, apples, oranges, and
avocados, that are grown here.
The Elqui Valley with its Mediterranean Climate grows a large amount
of Chile's produce which is imported north, especially during the Northern
Hemisphere's winter. Here, Lehi's seeds from Jerusalem would have grown
exceedingly and produced an abundant crop as Nephi claims
Today the Elqui is
called the "mystical valley" because of its unique astronomical and magnetic
properties, with scientists and astronomers making pilgrimages there to study
the stars in various professional observatories because the region offers the clearest
atmosphere in the world, averaging 300 clear days a year in the pure mountain
air. It is also very well known for its grape vineyards and the wines they produce, as
is Jerusalem.
We also need to
recognize that in the scriptural record, we find that king Noah "planted vineyards round about in the land;
and he built wine-presses, and made wine in abundance; and therefore he became
a wine-bibber, and also his people" (Mosiah 11:15).
Now king Noah lived
in the City of Nephi, "many days" travel northward of Lehi's landing site (1
Nephi 5:7). This microclime region, in Peru, has always been a wine growing
region and produces the local Pisco wine drink from white grapes. However, its
potential, which has never been realized, has attracted the largest wine
growing combine in Chile and one of the leading wine growing experts, who
earlier this year planted vineyards with plans to create a large wine-growing
industry in the area Noah once planted his own vineyards.
Peruvian wine and Pisco vineyards today in
the area of king Noah's grapevines
What is important to
understand is that in viticulture (growing grapes for wine) , the climates of
wine regions are categorized based on the overall characteristics of the area's
climate during the growing season. While variations in macroclimate are
acknowledged, the climates of most wine regions are categorized as being part
of "a Mediterranean, Maritime, or Continental climate." In fact, the majority of the
world's premium wine production takes place in one of these three climate
categories in locations between the 30th parallel and the 50th
parallel in both the northern and southern hemisphere.
The world-famous wine growing vineyards of
the Elqui Valley adjacent to La Serena, Chile
On the other hand, this
automatically eliminates the Mesoamerican models and severely limites the Baja and Malay Models regarding wine-growing locations,
for all three of these fall well outside of the latitudinal range for wine
growing. However, wine growing vineyards are found in the Great Lakes model,
especially in the Lake Erie, Niagara Escarpment and Finger Lakes areas, and
also in the Heartland model, especially in the Pennsylvania, Iowa, and Missouri
Wine Country.
The point is, that
right next to La Serena, which is along the coast where the most ideal place
for a landing and settling in the Coquimbo Bay area exists, is the
Mediterranean Climate necessary for the growing of the seeds that were brought
from Jerusalem (1 Nephi 18:24). These two points could be a coincidence,
however, their likelihood of existing elsewhere is almost non-existent, especially anywhere
in the Western Hemisphere other than in the southern/central California area.
The problem with that northern location is, the winds and sea currents taking Nephi's ship, which he
described as "driven forth before the wind" would not lead to that area.
Nephi's ship, upon leaving the southern
Arabian coast, would have had to travel south with the monsoon winds and
currents that would have taken him into the Indian Ocean Gyre, then the
extremely powerful, fast-moving Southern Ocean, and across to the Humboldt Current forcing his ship up along the west coast of South America to 30º south latitude before the ship could have been steered out of the currents toward shore and a landing
Thus we have three
extremely important points here that match the scriptural record and would be
hard to find elsewhere:
1. Winds and currents
leading from the southern Arabian Peninsula, upon which a ship dependent upon
being "driven forth before the wind" would be forced to travel;
2. A landing site
along that current and wind course that would be ideal for both a landing site
and a settlement area;
3. A Climate matching
Jerusalem in which seeds brought from Jerusalem would grow exceedingly and
provide an abundant crop.
As a result, it can be seen that Coquimbo
Bay provides the best landing site along the entire coast of Chile and Peru,
certainly within the area of the Humboldt Current where the winds and currents
would have taken a ship "driven forth before the wind" from the Arabian
Peninsula, before it would be driven westward by the Peruvian Bulge and out to
sea and into the South Pacific Gyre back toward the west and Indonesia/Australia.
At the same time, within this limited area
of Coquimbo and La Serena, is found an ideal area for Lehi to have pitched his
tents and the colony settle down, with not only ample fresh water from the
Elqui River delta, but also the ideal place for planting with a Mediterranean
Climate, which matches that of Jerusalem, and in which Lehi's seeds would have
grown exceedingly and provided them with an abundant crop as he said occurred (1 Nephi 18:24)--providing two of the three specific criteria required for Lehi's landing site as the scriptural record states.
Nor is that all.
In addition, there is a very large forest nearby, which we will cover in the
next post, and is the third of these criteria Nephi describes.
(See the next post, "Mormon's
Abridgement Part XVI – We Did Find Upon
the Land of Promise – Part IV," to find the third of these four areas Nephi
describes to be adjacent to their landing site, and crucial for any Land of
Promise location to have—not just in the entire land, but specifically adjacent
to the landing site, which is where Nephi placed them)

The BlackBerry Key One was revealed last year at CES, and this year there has been a lot of hype regarding the sequel to this popular phone. While we don't yet have new information regarding this flagship release, we have some exciting news about the US availability of the new BlackBerry Motion.
The New BlackBerry Motion
BlackBerry has struggled in recent years to capture any significant portion of the smartphone market. While they've seen a good amount of success as the go-to phone for business due to the ease of typing with physical keyboards, they've yet to see any sort of widespread adoption in the general public. The company has a chance to impress discerning smartphone users with the release of an upcoming successor to the BlackBerry KeyOne, but we don't know too much about when that's going to be released as of yet – even after this year's CES.
The BlackBerry CES did have some exciting news, however, regarding the new US availability of the new BlackBerry Motion. The new BlackBerry Motion will be available in the United States starting on December 12, and is shaping up to be a solid mid-range phone.
What We Know
With recent phone models, the company has ditched their proprietary operating system and moved over to Android. The new BlackBerry Motion is no exception, set to run Android Nougat with an eventual update to the Oreo operating system promised sometime this year.
As far as other information we have regarding the new BlackBerry Motion, it seems as if we may see the largest battery included from the company yet, with a 4000 mAh capacity. The phone should comfortably last all day on a single charge, even with moderate to heavy usage. The display will be decently sized at around 5.5 inches, ensuring the screen is big enough for all of your media needs
For processing power, the new BlackBerry Motion will ship with a Snapdragon 625 chip which should give the device respectable mid-range performance, and 4GB of RAM will be included to make operating the phone a fluid experience. The specifications are definitely not high-end, but considering the phone's $449.99 price tag, the performance seems more than reasonable.
Although the smartphone manufacturer has made a name for themselves with their physical keyboards optimized for business use, the new BlackBerry Motion will feature a touchscreen rather than an actual keyboard. It's an interesting design choice from the manufacturer, as it adds yet another rather generic phone to the market. The new BlackBerry Motion may have trouble competing in a market that's already saturated by mid-range phones, but we remain hopeful that the phone performs well and establishes the company as a competitor – at least in the mid-range market.
Accompanying the announcement of the new BlackBerry Motion release was word of a new KeyOne Bronze Edition, set for a Q1 2018 release in "select markets across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East."

A resurgence of interest in career and technical education has spurred much discussion on ways to ensure high school students gain the knowledge and skills they need to prepare them both for further education and training and for a professional career.
Last month, the first-ever Career and Technical Education/Workforce Development Summit, co-hosted by the AFT and the AFL-CIO, featured presentations on how to scale up and sustain programs that provide multiple pathways for student success. Former and current CTE students from Connecticut and Ohio shared the opportunities that technical education has opened up for them, while business owners affirmed the need to strengthen CTE programs. Conference speakers also included such prominent leaders as AFT President Randi Weingarten, Vice President Joe Biden and Labor Secretary Thomas Perez, underscoring the issue's significance.
Within the AFT, CTE—commonly defined as the education that prepares students for careers in skilled trades, applied sciences and technology—is among the many high-priority items on the union's agenda. The results of a survey of 570 K-12 CTE teachers reiterate the need for greater support of vocational education and are highlighted in a report, "The Voices of Career and Technical Education Teachers," as well as in the Fall 2014 issue of American Educator, which examines policy proposals and model programs for re-envisioning CTE.
All this focus on CTE at the high school level, however, gives rise to an important question: Where does higher education fit in?
Community college is the main type of postsecondary institution that offers CTE, enabling students to expand their minds, hone their skills and improve their economic circumstances. Accordingly, this issue of AFT On Campus focuses on CTE's community college connection.
An article by UCLA professor Mike Rose details the economic and intellectual benefits of one urban community college program and explains the class bias that has long been directed toward vocational education in general.
A pair of Q&As with community college professors shed light on the rewards and challenges of teaching in occupational programs. And this issue also includes an update on the AFT's work to prevent for-profit career and technical programs from engaging in fraud and abuse by failing to prepare students for jobs and leaving them saddled with insurmountable debt.
In the timely and important conversations finally taking place on the benefits of a re-imagined CTE, we must remember the powerful role of community colleges. A variety of occupational and technical programs and a wealth of professional expertise are hallmarks of such institutions. Any meaningful discussion of CTE must include them.

Welcome to the second issue of 2017, which I hope will be an interesting read. The first three articles in this issue focus on HIV in South Africa. The first article, by Sally John and her colleagues, touches on a thorny issue in the public health system, namely that of non-adherence among patients who are on antiretroviral treatment. The authors argue that religious beliefs can have a negative influence on HIV treatment outcomes, as some patients decide to stop taking their medication due to the belief that some supernatural force will cure their HIV.
Religious beliefs and depression : psychosocial factors affecting HIV treatment outcomes in, South AfricaSource: New Voices in Psychology 12, pp 2 –20 (2016) http://dx.doi.org/10.25159/1812-6371/2784More Less
Analysing factors associated with virological failure (VF) may improve antiretroviral therapy (ART) outcomes for individuals living with HIV. The Risk Factors for Virological Failure (RFVF) study compared 158 cases with VF (viral load, VL >1,000 copies/mL) and 300 controls with virological suppression (VL ≤1,000 copies/mL) after >5 months on their first ART regimen at McCord Hospital in Durban, South Africa between October 2010 and June 2012. RFVF participants completed a battery of various psychosocial measures. Using multivariate logistic regression stratified for gender, the association of various psychosocial factors with VF was assessed. It was found that not all factors were equally significant for both genders. The factors that were significantly associated with VF for both genders were younger age, shorter treatment duration and reporting depressive symptoms. The factors associated with VF that differed by gender were religious inactivity, having HIV+ family members, and status disclosure to friends.
HIV and depression : a scoping review of the South African literatureAuthors: Frances Slaven and David CameronSource: New Voices in Psychology 12, pp 21 –38 (2016) http://dx.doi.org/10.25159/1812-6371/2791More Less
This scoping review attempts to contextualise the current state of research regarding responding to co-morbid depression and HIV in primary healthcare, identify the gaps in research and develop appropriate recommendations. The researcher used Arksey and O'Malley's six-stage scoping review method. The researcher reviewed articles from Springer Link, Ebsco Host, Pub Med and Psych Info that were found using the keywords 'depression'; 'HIV'; and 'primary healthcare' and that were published between 2010 and 2015. A final number of 27 articles were included in the scoping review. The review found that symptoms of depression in HIV positive patients can have a detrimental effect on their health-seeking behaviour and disease progression. Patients often do not report psychological symptoms of depression, unless enquired into, and usually focus on their physical symptoms. Additionally, there is a clear relationship between depression and antiretroviral treatment non-adherence and that treating depression with antidepressants or psychotherapy results in increased levels of adherence. Standardised and routine screening for depression in people living with HIV in primary care is the most ideal solution to this problem; a context-specific model that takes into account the shortage of resources in South Africa is greatly needed.
Exploring the experiences of adolescents on highly active antiretroviral therapy in Tembisa : a pilot studyAuthor Musa MaseTshabaSource: New Voices in Psychology 12, pp 39 –52 (2016) http://dx.doi.org/10.25159/1812-6371/2788More Less
This study was aimed at exploring the experiences of adolescents who are on long-term Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) treatment in Tembisa, Gauteng province. The study is based on a qualitative research method using in-depth semi-structured open-ended interviews and a focus group for data collection. The sample consisted of three adolescents as this was a pilot study. Thematic data analysis method was used to analyse data. The study findings cover the negative and positive experiences and the perceived role of HAART treatment over a longer period of time. The predominant themes identified from participants were disclosure of HIV-positive status and the stigma surrounding a positive status, early childhood experience of parental death, challenges of taking HAART treatment, factors influencing adherence and non-adherence to HAART treatment, and lastly, the impact of religion on HAART treatment adherence. The findings suggest that adolescents who are on HAART treatment over an extended period of time experience drug fatigue. Drug fatigue has far-reaching implications for the health of adolescents, as it has a higher likelihood that poor adherence or even complete refusal to take HAART treatment will occur. Poor adherence or refusal to take HAART treatment will most likely lead to cross infection and further spread of HIV and AIDS. A recommendation was made to include the establishment of a youth and adolescent-friendly centre by the hospital – one that is designated for the provision of tailored adolescent services and sensitive to adolescent developmental stages so as to minimise the likelihood of infected adolescents falling through the healthcare cracks. The introduction of a hospital-based school, an education unit run by dedicated and qualified facilitators focusing on aiding hospitalised learners with catch-up scholarly programmes, was a further recommendation.
Critical reflections on professional behaviour and understanding 'professionalism' in a healthcare careerAuthor Nombuso MbathaSource: New Voices in Psychology 12, pp 53 –69 (2016) http://dx.doi.org/10.25159/1812-6371/2789More Less
This study contextualises the meaning and definition of professionalism. It investigates the held perspective of what elements or components create a foundation of a professional. The aim was to explore the need of understanding professionalism as a term and practice at university. Furthermore, the aim was to engage students in a critical reflexive process in order to gain deeper understanding of the discourses that have influence in their lives, and how it impacts both their personal and professional lives. Bandura's Social Learning Theory and Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory were used to substantiate the argument of the study topic. This paper is an integration of two research studies that examine professionalism. Firstly, a systematic literature search was conducted and narrative synthesis approach was used to analyse homogenous studies that investigated professionalism in the healthcare sector. Secondly, a masters' cohort engaged in a process of sharing life stories to examine the influence of dominant social discourses (race; gender; and class) and how it has given meaning to how they view the world and gives meaning to the things around them. The purpose was to develop critical reflexivity for the students in an educational setting. The outcomes from both research studies suggest that professionalism is a term that is complex to define; while, also promoting the importance of engaging in life story work that necessitates introspection and coming to understand who we are and what world we live in by acquiring the skill to be critically reflexive.
The impact of shift work on the health and wellbeing of campus security guardsAuthors: Sandiso Bazana, Kerry Campbell and Trust KabungaidzeSource: New Voices in Psychology 12, pp 70 –93 (2016) http://dx.doi.org/10.25159/1812-6371/2783More Less
The health and wellbeing of campus security guards continues to be ignored in academia particularly by the researchers and by those who employ these guards. The main aim of the study was to gain a clearer understanding of the impact of shift work on the health and wellbeing of campus security guards. The evidence from the study clarifies what many other researchers' have revealed about the negative impact of shift work on the health and wellbeing of employees. However, more specifically, the study revealed five issues around how shift work has an impact on the health and wellbeing of campus security guards. These issues were deduced through the application of semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis. The study showed that shift work has an impact on a number of underlying factors such as disrupted family lives and religious gatherings; limited control leading to stress; working conditions' impact on health; and disturbed sleeping patterns. All of these had a role in decreasing employees' job performance and ultimately impacting on the organisation's effectiveness. Apart from regulation, the study calls on government to be more involved in the health and wellbeing of the South African workforce, especially security guards. The study makes a number of suggestions to that effect.
The pathological constitution of colonized subjectivity in Armah's The beautyful ones are not yet born : Kohut and Fanon in dialogueAuthor Raphael MackintoshSource: New Voices in Psychology 12, pp 94 –100 (2016) http://dx.doi.org/10.25159/182-6371/2786More Less
The following theoretical review attempts to provide a distinctly psychoanalytic reading of Armah's The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born (1968). Integrating a Fanonian conception of intersubjective recognition with Kohut's work on narcissism and self-object relations, it is argued that the enduring nature of psychopathology in colonized peoples is readily sustained by denigrating ties to hegemonic colonial selfobjects- the symbolic "gleam" identified so lucidly by Armah in his novel. It is suggested that positing the existence of selfobjects which are actively harmful, instead of necessarily compensatory and/or curative, enhances the dialectical strength of Kohutian self-psychology in previously colonized nations. Such an extension also places self-psychology in explicit dialogue with Fanon's sociogenic diagnosis of psychopathology; providing one potential interpretative lens through which to explore what processes of decolonization might intimate regarding the psychic reality of the colonizer/ colonized dyad.

Cells form the basis of all living cells. Whether is a bacterium, a fungus, a blue whale, or a large sequoia tree – all organisms are made up of at least one cell. Their components regulate all aspects of life as we know it and the most basic categorization of organisms relies on different cell types. Within a multicellular organism, cellular diversity provides specialization for different tasks and together they orchestrate overall organismal function and survival.
On the other hand, viruses are small subcellular agents that are unable to multiply outside a host cell and are thus obligate parasites. They can essentially infect all forms of life and have shaped several aspects of natural selection throughout evolution. Due to their extreme dependence for cellular factors to replicate, targeting viral infections through highly-selective antiviral agents has proven to be challenging.
As a scientist, I study the interactions between viruses and the cells they infect. I believe that understanding how these intracellular parasites re-purpose host cell factors for their benefit can similarly teach us about principles of cell biology that would have been almost impossible to identify and characterize otherwise. My experience is almost exclusively on mammalian RNA viruses (reoviruses, hepatitis A, hepatitis C, Zika virus, dengue virus) in diverse cell types and currently continuing this journey as a Research Associate within the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Visit my UNC website here).
I am a science communicator on Twitter (@NakedCapsid) where I use the beauty of microscopy to take my audience on weekly trips inside the cell and to teach complex biological systems through colorful images. As an advocate for diversity and inclusion in STEM, I am also the founder of #UniqueScientists, a program designed with the goal of highlighting the journey of the diverse scientists that day after day contribute to new scientific discoveries.

Senior Night and One Final Home Win
The varsity basketball seniors won their last home game as Saxons
February 15, 2019
Emotions high, adrenaline rushing, and the tension on the court to get that last win for Langley. It was Senior Night for the Saxons on Friday, February 7 for the varsity boys and the stakes were high. Seniors, Jack Hoeymans, Sohrob Kermanchi, Nick Gasparis, Duncan Brown and Laith El-Rafey all were ready to dominate the court. Fortunately for them, the Saxons ended up winning against Herndon High 80-66.
After a tough, but yet redeeming match against the Herndon Hornets, many seniors could not help but to feel nostalgic about their past four years playing for the Saxons.
"It felt great to get the win on Senior Night, at the same time it was hard to believe that out time playing high school basketball together has come to an end," senior forward, Sohrob Kermanchi said.
"It felt special to share the floor with the guys I had been playing with since freshman year," senior guard Nick Gasparis said.
"I feel amazing. I have been playing with these guys since my freshman year so it was very exciting to get that one last home win with them." guard Jack Hoeymans said. It was a very memorable moment for these seniors and it creates a special feeling like no other.

Yay! My internets is back (must be that volcanic dust cloud messing up the Matrix).
Well, it's been a busy week! My friend got married (still haven't stopped crying, she looked like an angel!), I've been busily editing my book CRAVING, and yesterday I attended the London Book Fair 2010 masterclass on 'How to Get Published'.
The audience was treated to some great advice from the likes of Carole Blake, agent and author of From Pitch to Publication (which I'll be reading this week); Mark Booth, Publisher, Hodder and Stoughton; and author Lionel Shriver.
I was particularly happy to meet Meg Rosoff, author of 'What I Was', the book I was reading in NYC the day I got engaged (awwwww). Her latest book The Bride's Fairwell is now available in shops, so go get it! (and thanks Meg for lovely horse drawing!)
She gave some fab advice to all authors, which was this:
Write a f*cking good book
It sounds so simple, and yet it's the key to getting published. If you write a f*cking good book, then chances are it'll get picked up.
The masterclass gave some other really informative and honest advice about how to get published, although not everyone in the audience was willing to hear it. One lady sitting next to me (writer of a book about the psychology of positive thinking) got in a mood with the panel for being too negative and stormed out in a tantrum.
I have to say, people like her to baffle me. If you want to get in to the industry, then listen to the experts. I do find it odd how some writers aren't willing to listen to honest advice. Do they come to these events expecting to be given a golden key that opens up the door to the publishing world? Do they not grasp that publishing is a business, not an out-reach programme to support struggling artists?
The truth is the road to getting published is often long and hard. It takes sacrifice (we all know what it's like trying to write a novel while working full time), it can be demoralising, it requires stamina, ambition and above all talent.
But by God, isn't it all worth it?

Hello!!! My name is Paxton and photography is not only my true passion it is my full time job. I am self-employed and have my own personal artist/photography studio in Dallas. I did start photographing with film before this digital age began... but I have been professionally shooting since 2007.
Being an artist that happens to also be a photographer gives me a different perspective on client work, I believe. I look at your needs through different eyes and try and show you something you probably weren't expecting along with what you wanted/needed:) I think it's my job to show you that. I do creatively and artistically direct when given the opportunity.
I love portraits. I love connecting with a client and bringing something out in them they didn't know they had. You get to see yourself through my eyes and I take great honor in being chosen to photograph someone and always strive to go beyond what is expected of me. It is somewhat of a collaboration. We are working together here. When we both give all that we have... magic happens.
I do offer a range of services and do not take on every project that comes my way. There is a list here of some, but all can be customized just for you. Everyones needs are different:) Portraits. Headshots. Publicity. Branding. Commissions. Commercial. Editorial. Post Artwork. Retouching. Compositing.... It's a longer list but I do it all. I have a great team of talented people for larger projects as well.
I'd love to help you with whatever your photography needs are, large or small. Please contact me with any inquiries:)

Google appears to be staying true to their plan to expand Home Service Ads nationwide by the end of 2017. A source says they aim to launch or expand verticals in the following markets during October and November:
- Boston, MA
- Dallas, TX
- Detroit, MI
- Houston, TX* (TBD due to Hurricane Harvey)
- Miami, FL* (TBD due to Hurricane Irma)
- Riverside/San Bernardino, CA
- Baltimore, MD
- Charlotte, NC
- Cincinnati, OH
- Denver, CO
- Las Vegas, NV
- Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN
- Orlando-Daytona Beach-Melbourne, FL
- Pittsburgh, PA
- Portland, OR
- San Antonio, TX
- St. Louis, MO
- Tampa-St Petersburg (Sarasota), FL
Now, more businesses across the country will have the chance to partner with Google to be featured in the ads, including plumbers electricians, locksmiths, handymen, HVAC pros, contractors and more. Although searches for a few of the home service categories in the current test markets are still yet to show the ads, Google seems to be making a push to include more.
Google began rolling out testing for the ads in select California markets in August 2015, then launched on the East Coast in Philadelphia this past June. In August 2017, nearly two years after the initial launch in California, businesses could start partnering with Google for Home Service Ads in Chicago, as well.
It's likely that Google is already in the process of recruiting and vetting home service providers in the 18 U.S. markets where they plan to expand. To become a partner, businesses must undergo a rigorous background check, obtain proper licenses and insurance, and be evaluated by undercover shoppers. These are all measures from Google to ensure they're showing users ads for reputable providers.
Once partnered with Google, select businesses in these markets will have the chance to connect directly with customers via phone calls and web-based leads. And instead of being charged for clicks or views, they'll only be charged for the leads that they receive. On the user end, customers can leave reviews and place requests straight from the search results page.
When asked if they plan to provide more insight into in the traffic and performance of the ads, our source said they are focused mostly on leads, not clicks, so they don't plan to release metrics based on clicks, impressions, rankings or keywords. But they did say they are working on some plans to provide better reporting for partners and will have more details to share soon.

Golden Globe Award 2016 Online Free Surprises and Snubs, The Golden Globe 2016 Live Stream nominations were, as per usual, a mixed bag. For every inspired nod (congrats, Rachel Bloom!) there was one that had be scratching the skin off my scalp (no The Leftovers?!). So without further adieu, I give you the good, the bad and the downright ugly from this year's list. The 2016 Golden Globe nominations were, as per usual, a mixed bag. For every inspired nod (congrats, Rachel Bloom!) there was one that had be scratching the skin off my scalp (no The Leftovers?!). The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has set Jan. 10, 2016, for the 73rd Annual Golden Globe Awards. The ceremony will air on NBC from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m (PT) and 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. (ET) from the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif., and will be produced by Dick Clark Productions. All that's needed are new hosts, since Tina Fey and Amy Poehler announced that 2015 would be their last time in the role. Already, there has been a groundswell of support for Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig, who wowed in a brief appearance at the 2015 awards. NBC's Golden Globe Awards took a ratings dip in 2015, down 8% from the previous year, averaging 19.3 million viewers, according to Nielsen figures.
I have some "live" documents (pdf, word docs, etc) which I would like to be searchable through evernote on all my devices. When I modify these docs I would like Evernote to pick up the changes - it doesn't have to be quick or immediate as long as it's automated and it doesn't result in new notes. For example, when i append pages to MyDoc.pdf on my pc I would like the associated note in Evernote to eventually notice and for the new version of MyDoc.pdf to be visible there. What is the best way to accomplish this?

Ellis Short will not be rushed into making a decision on the next Sunderland boss and may delay his call until at least the middle of next week.
That is despite Gus Poyet's aggressive attempts to market his claims on the Black Cats role, which include behind-the-scenes briefings it is his job to lose and a public admission he is waiting "nervously".
Poyet remains the favourite to land the role after winning a recommendation from Roberto De Fanti, the club's Director of Football.
However, it has emerged Short is determined not to be rushed into a decision on the next manager after seeing Paolo Di Canio's appointment quickly backfire.
The club are also interested in talking to Manchester United's former first-team coach René Meulensteen, who has developed a fine reputation and is available after a short spell in charge of Anzhi in Russia.
Kevin Ball's caretaker stint is also being observed with the board of the opinion his years of service to the Black Cats mean his claims should be thoroughly examined too.
However, Poyet has placed himself at the top of the shortlist both through canny maneouvering behind the scenes and also a CV which seems to fit the club's wishlist.
He claimed on Wednesday he was merely "waiting nervously" for Sunderland to make the call tohim.
It remains to be seen whether his obvious desire to take the job will cause reservations with Short, who is not afraid of strong characters but may be looking for someone less confrontational after Di Canio's ill-fated stint.
Poyet had told a Spanish radio station: "My opportunity to manage Sunderland is there. I am waiting nervously.
"Since the start of the season, I have dedicated myself to watching the games of teams which might call me if things were not going too well."
What may count against Poyet is the fact he left Brighton in acrimonious circumstances and it is unclear what sort of recommendation he would get from the South Coast club.
Short is determined to make his next move the right one after taking the bold decision to terminate Di Canio's contract on Sunday after a huge player revolt left the Sunderland boss staring into the abyss.
The players responded with a straightforward defeat of Peterborough on Tuesday but have a much more difficult task ahead of them on Sunday, when Ball will lead the team against Liverpool.
The caretaker boss is calling on his team to "impose" themselves against Brendan Rodgers' men, who wil be smarting from a midweek defeat to Manchester United.
He said: "From Liverpool's point of view, their objectives for the season are there for all to see.
"We know what to expect and it's up to us to counteract that and impose ourselves on the game.
"I've always said to players – just give me 100% of what you can do. They will often surprise themselves with what they can achieve.
"The biggest thing is pushing yourself, then hopefully the game comes easier."

"I Don't Like Getting Charged Overdraft Fees"
During breakfast this morning, I was reading Sports Illustrated and ran across a bank advertisement that had a person saying the following:
I don't like getting charged overdraft fees.
My coffee is expensive enough already.
"The price on the menu read $3, but it read $38 on my bank statement. So I switched to a [insert bank name] account. Even if I'm short on funds, [insert bank name] won't let me use my debit card to accidentally overdraft. So my coffee never costs a lot more than it should."
Wow! I know that coffee is priced high at Fourbucks, but I can't imagine living in a world where I must worry about overdrafting my bank account with a simple purchase of a cup of coffee. EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT I LIVED THIS WAY FOR YEARS!
I would like to offer a better solution:
- Establish a margin in your bill pay/spending account of several hundred dollars. This will prevent overdrafting altogether!
- Buy coffee with cash so that you can not possibly overdraft! Cash purchases provide a 100% disconnect from overdrafting (or overspending) the bank account.
And, of course, prepare a written spending plan and force INCOME – OUTGO to equal EXACTLY ZERO!

Arthur C. Pillsbury Foundation
Protecting and Preserving All Life -- By Extending Human Vision
High Trip Clips
1930 - Fire Dancer
Alaska LOC
Berkeley photo album
Arthur C. Pillsbury was an inventor of cameras and film-maker who realized the power of Panoramic to Microscopic Photography,
X-Ray to Underwater Cinematography to connect us to Nature.
He changed our relationship with Life as part of the natural world
His half-century creating innovations with mechanical camera devices and techniques brought him to the attention of William Randolph Hearst, Pathe, Paramount, and Universal which distributed his films world-wide. This was one of his uses of film and photography which helped pay his way through Stanford University.
The Beginning
12 December
The Daily Palo Alto
"Pillsbury `96 has a new movie making instrument for Saturday's game. They will be for sale at Encina Hall, on Thursday and Friday."
[NOTE: The date and location indicate this is during the period when AC had built an 'unofficial' darkroom in the attic area, then unfinished, of Encina Hall.]
AC Pillsbury was using a camera, this might have been his first movie camera, but the use does not appear to surprise the reporter at the local paper. A pursual of more notices show AC was providing services to the paper as well as being covered. These action films were used as we would use a Motor Drive today, extracting the best sports stop-motion frames; and sold these as single pictures, postcards, or news photo coverage.
Soon, he owned and was running two businesses, a bicycle shop and a photographic studio just outside the gates of Stanford University. In 1897 his senior project was the first circuit panorama camera. His senior advisor told him it could not work. AC built it - it worked. Disgusted, he left Stanford.
The Pillsbury Photographic Studio and Bicycle Shops just outside the gates of Stanford University
In 1896 AC married Miss Ella Wing, who left him after only a few months, preferring to train to be a nurse than spend the summer months in the wilderness of Yosemite at the studio AC had bought with Julius T. Boysen.
AC sold his businesses and left for the Yukon with his cameras, especially the circuit panorama camera, there to record the opening of the mining fields. In1899 he purchased a canoe, installing a portable darkroom in the canoe. In each mining town AC sold panoramas to gold-laden miners, accepting payment in gold and sending the panoramas back from his next stop. Along with the cameras he took his guns for protection and books to read. Below is the photo he took from the ship on which he returned to California in late 1899 from Nome Alaska.

A short story of Friday and Saturday.
So Friday night when for a movie at MV. Was feeling kinda generous, so I decided to treat 2 of my friends for a movie. Managed to catch Dark Shadows. As usual, Johnny Depp doesn't disappoint so thus Tim Burton. A should watch movie. Funny, serious, crazy and bloody. Haha.
Saturday, been out the whole day. Actually its more of half or whatever. I truly didn't want to be out, but had no choice. Dear lappy had been going through some serious sickness. He turns pink every time he's turn on. Poor fellow. So had to take him to Curve to meet the doctor, and the result was, dear lappy had to be admitted for 7 days or until he gets better (please recover soon). The plan was to actually sent lappy in for treatment and leave, but the plan was ditched. The main reason was, because I didn't go alone. If I had, I'd surely followed my plan (what an excuse I'm giving...LOL). So after sending lappy in, when for lunch. Hadn't any idea of where to eat since was lazy to think, decided to make a pitstop at a Bavarian Bierhaus. If you're wondering what the heck is that? Its a German outlet. The food was great! But warning, the servings are extremely huge (just imagine how much Germans eat compared to Malaysians). After lunch did a mall inspection (jalan-jalan bakar makanan), then headed for IPC. Was looking for a perfect gift for my cousin, but couldn't find one. Since I don't really know what he likes (he likes cooking). Then skipped the searching and headed for Ikea. Another great way to waste some time. Hahaha. When there, trying to get some ideas and feel (so dramatic) for my future place (I repeat....future which god knows when). I just adore and love Ikea stuff (although they can be pretty bloody expensive) because its simple and tidy. As usual, when you visit Ikea there's always something you want to get. So got a few towels (trying to make a collection..LOL) and headed off (at the end of the free 2 hours parking). Went for an early supper at Kanna Curry House (the roti tisu was awesome). Finally I'm home!
So that was pretty much a bored boring day. So unproductive (as usual). Lots of walking and eye cleansing (locating locating..haha). Also its kinda surprising I was home before American Idol even started. A new record!

A Sunday Morning Bike Ride
On Sunday morning, I met some friends for a little bike ride from Highlands to Confluence Park, and up & down the Platte River Bike Path. Perfect temperature, just a slight breeze, sky so blue it was almost purple. It was my first venture across the new pedestrian bridgeconnecting Northwest Denver to Downtown - it's pretty darn cool. So anyway, here's a little photographic journey of all the sights we enjoyed on our Sunday morning bike ride. There is SO MUCH TO LOVE about this part of town!

Today the Executive Director of my denomination conference, Nick DiFrancesco posted this question on Facebook. Pondering a simple belief this morning. The limits of your ability to love and forgive are an indicator of your understanding of God. The respect and sympathy you have for the lost is as well. Thoughts? His question resulted in many comments and comments on the comments.
Here was my comment: Both are non-negotiable and unconditional. One of the great stumbling blocks to evangelism is to preach grace without exhibiting grace.
There has never been a time in history nor a generation in greater need of the message of God's salvation which is grounded in His unconditional love and empowered through His amazing grace. Never !
I am reminded of John's words in chapter 3, verses 16-17 of his gospel. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. "
Christians are not the only people who see a culture in trouble and more and more people further and further from God. When I was growing up the gospel message was so framed in the condemnation of people's sins that you had to look hard to see the Good News. Many a non-believer was turned away from their journey towards Christ by the messengers that there developed the ironic reality best described by Dan Kimball, "They like Jesus but not the church." Too many Christians acted as if verse 17 was but a nice tag line instead of an expression of verse 16, an interpretation rooted in the word "for" the begins verse 17 linking the two verses together.
I could launch into an analysis that gives dozens of examples of people (and churches) who preached the grace of God (and sang "Amazing Grace" at their funerals) but whose relationship with non-Christians, especially those whose values and lifestyles were at odds with those same Christians.
Instead I want my readers to simply ask themselves the question: Is my message of grace reflected in my relationships with others? And if not, what will I do about it. In addition to the Great Commandment and the second Greatest (you know them), let me add two more verses from God's Word – both words from men whose lives were changed by the grace of Christ. One, in fact, God's enemy.
"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect," – 1 Peter 3.15
" The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love." – Galatians 5.6b
Instead of fighting culture wars so passionately and being so focused on people's affirmation of us as persons, let's get back to being agents of God's grace. That is where the Good News is found.

Seabrook Railroad Bridge
PA ID# 071-UC5WW-00; Port of New Orleans
PW ID# 16676; Seabrook Railroad Bridge
Port of New Orleans; PA ID 071-UC5WW-00
Seabrook Railroad Bridge, Project Worksheet (PW) 16676
Citation: FEMA-1603-DR-LA, Port of New Orleans, Seabrook Railroad Bridge,
Reference: Eligibility, Category B, Emergency Work, Bridge Repair
Summary: Hurricane Katrina caused damage to the Seabrook Railroad Bridge, a single-leaf bascule bridge with two railroad tracks and abandoned vehicular roadways cantilevered on either side of the tracks. The disaster damage upset the balance between the span and the concrete counterweight. FEMA prepared PW 9322 for $311, 298 to restore the balance of the bridge and address other eligible permanent repairs. The Port of New Orleans (Applicant) requested additional funding under category B to permanently restore the balance of the bridge. FEMA prepared Category B PW 16676 to document the Applicant's request, but did not approve it. A category B PW is not appropriate to fund permanent repairs to the bridge. However, additional eligible items of work should be added to PW 9322 to restore the bridge to its pre-disaster condition.
Issues: 1. Is category B PW 16676 eligible for funding?
2. Are additional items of work required to repair disaster-related damage to the
Findings: 1. No.
2. Yes.
Rationale: 44 CFR §206.226. Restoration of damaged facilities

Hollywood's Church (45 images)
The Church of the Blessed Sacrament, 6657 Sunset Boulevard – by Thomas Franklin Power, Italian Renaissance with a touch of Art Deco and a red tile roof, built in 1928, but not completed until 1954 – and pure Hollywood.

Still, it's all a visual treat, and full of history. In September 1930, Bing Crosby was married to...

by Kent Hutchison
Howdy folks. Life is short, enjoy your coffee.
Today, I want to share with you a story that's been around a while – and there are several versions of the story online floating around, but I just rediscovered this parable in my files of "neat stuff."
For the past month, everyone has been wrapped up in back to school mania. All the television commercials are for back-to-school clothes and supplies. Those of us that are parents – our household schedules have been transitioning from summer busy to back-to-school busy.
Well, the story is titled, "The parable of the pencil."
You see, the Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box. There are five things you need to know before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be.
- Everything you do will always leave a mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write.
- You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.
- What is important is what is inside of you.
- In life, you will undergo multiple painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil.
- To be the best pencil, you must allow yourself to be held and guided by the hand that holds you.
The pencil understood and promised to remember and went into the box with purpose in its heart. We all need to be sharpened from time-to-time. Now replacing the place of the pencil with you: Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.
- On every surface, you walk through; you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to do your duties.
- You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.
- The essential part of you will always be what's on the inside.
- You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problems in life, but you'll need it to become a stronger person.
- You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be guided by the hand that holds you. And let other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess. Value your friendships.
Allow this story on the pencil to encourage you to know that you are a special person and only you can fulfill the purpose to which you were born to accomplish.
Don't allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and cannot make a change; and as the pencil, always remember that the essential part of who you are, is what's inside of you.
Well, we need to finish our coffee and get those kids to school.
I wish you the best in all your endeavors today and the future.
