Mexican Salsa verde is an absolute must have item in your kitchen if you are going to prepare Mexican dishes. A staple in every Mexican restaurant and household kitchen, salsa verde is great for topping carne asada tacos (or just about any kind of tacos for that matter). It is also necessary for preparing enchiladas verdes. I even like it on eggs, and of course it is a must have for huevos rancheros. Mexican Salsa verde is easy to make, and exceptionally versatile. There are many commercial brands of this wonderful salsa, but homemade, with fresh and traditional ingredients is, in this humble home chef's opinion, by far the best!

How to Cook with Moroccan Tagines
The tall, attractive, conical cookware common to Moroccan (and other North African cultures) known as the "tagine" is similar in function to the western world's Dutch Oven.
However, knowing how to cook with Moroccan tagines is a different skill set in some ways. This article is intended to help those who would like to begin using the tagine effectively in their kitchens.
First, let's get into exactly what the tagine is, how it is made, and how it cooks food. Then we will delve into how to cook with Moroccan tagines.
The tagine itself is named after a style of North African dishes by the same name. Tagines, the dishes or meals prepared in the tagine, can be stews (by far the most often prepared in them), meats, vegetables, rice, couscous, just about anything, really. For a great lamb tagine recipe, click here.
Traditionally, for centuries, tagines have been made of clay, baked into an extremely hard and durable type of porcelain. You can still get the traditional, clay-based tagines today, and they are still commonly used in North Africa. In modern times, however, some manufactures have been producing tagines with equally effective cooking capabilities made of other materials, such as enameled cast-iron.
The unique conical shape of the tagine provides a moist, hot cooking enclosure for the foods being prepared. Moroccan tagines have a shallow, wide base. The cone-shaped lid fits snug and tight inside the base. During the cooking process, steam rises up from the base into the cone. In the cone, the steam condenses, forms beads of moisture, and trickles down the sides back into foods cooking in the base.
If you are familiar with the Dutch Oven, you will recognize some similarity here. The difference is that the tagine is even more efficient with respect to how much liquid is needed overall. The design and method of cooking the tagine possesses is such that it requires far less liquid than the Dutch Oven in order to cook foods very slowly until completely tender.
Okay. With this information in mind, now here is …

Traditional Authentic German Style Goulash
German Style Goulash is a beloved comfort food throughout Europe and the Americas. It was first created in Germany, of course, and spread all over the Western Hemisphere from there. There are many variations on the dish, some of them so far from the original German style goulash that they barely compare. However, this one is truly the authentic, traditional, German style goulash.

If you have different age groups, you might want to consider creating two different house rule sets and consequences. When you are done and both parents agree with them. Get them laminated and hung up on the fridge or somewhere where everyone can see them on a daily basis so they know what's expected of them. Before you hang them up, make sure you have a family meeting to go over all of them with all of the children in the family. When you do have this meeting make sure each parent explains each rule that way it looks like both of you came up with these rules and not just one parent. Please know that creating these rules and enforcing them may be really hard if the stepchildren don't have any rules at their mother's house or if they didn't have rules to begin with. It's going to take some time to adjust to the rules when going back and forth between houses with rules and no rules. DO NOT GIVE UP, be persistent and follow through. Don't let guilt parenting get in the way of creating rules for your household.
You might also want to consider developing rules for going over someone else's house, car rules for those long road trips and pool rules (if you have a pool). Developing rules for going over someone else's house is really a great help for those you are visiting. Because I am sure no one wants kids coming over their house and destroying their prized possessions or jumping on their furniture. You can always tell the difference between children who have rules at home and ones that don't. Great example for rules for visiting other people's house is:
Visiting at another Person's House Rules Example
- No Standing or jumping on furniture
- No Running around
- Do not touch breakable things
- Ask permission to use or play with something
- Don't interrupt when adults are talking, wait your turn to speak or politely say excuse me
- If it's not a toy, don't touch it
- Clean up toys or put anything back you got out when it's time to leave
- No yelling or screaming while inside of the house, use indoor voices only
- Always be Polite saying please and thank you
- No screaming or yelling
- Always stay buckled at all times
- No changing or moving to another seat while the vehicle is in motion
- No kicking the back of the seats at any time
- No opening doors while vehicle is in motion
- No throwing garbage or things outside of the window
- Always take the things you brought with you back into the house
- Always put garbage where it belongs, don't leave cups or wrappers inside of the vehicle
If you have house rules now, please share some of the rules you have for your children.

There are many ligaments that help to support the shoulder. The shoulder ligaments are the duct tape that hold the bones together. These include the coraco-acromial ligaments (the duct tape that holds the collar bone to the front of the shoulder blade). Other ligaments include the joint capsule of the AC joint (duct tape that holds the AC joint together) and the shoulder joint capsule (the duct tape that holds the shoulder ball in the socket). An injury that stretches these ligaments can cause instability, meaning that the duct tape can be stretched an lose it's ability to hold these shoulder bones together as they move and as you use the shoulder. This can cause many problems, including early arthritis and pain. Torn shoulder ligament cures have traditionally been surgical. However, newer non-surgical torn shoulder ligament cures are now available.
Surgery for this area usually means sewing the torn ligament together or back to it's attachment to the bone. While for a complete tear of one of these ligaments this may the only way to get the two ends back together, for partial tears, this is an older method of repair that may have more problems than benefits. For example, sewing a partially torn ligament often over tightens the ligament. In addition, this surgical approach carries more risk of infection. Newer treatments are all injection based. This means that stem cells can be injected into the ligament to help it mend, rather than needing surgery. The newer stem cell based treatments (links above) also mean much less down-time and immobilization for the patient.
As an example, a patient with an AC joint injury often has chronic and painful popping and cracking in this joint between the front of the should blade and the collar bone. The shoulder muscles underneath can become sore. The surgical option is to sew a cadaver ligament or synthetic material around the injured ligaments to try and stabilize the joint. However, there is huge down-time, with the patient being unable to use the area for months. In addition, over tightening is common, and this leads to more arthritis. The newer technique of injecting stem cells into the ligament requires no or little down-time and likely results in a more physiologic repair (without the over tightening) because the goal with this procedure is to get the ligament to heal back to it's pre-injured state (or as close to it as possible).

"The male you could have escaped, for it exists only on the biological level. But the masculine none of us can escape. What is above and beyond all things is so masculine that we are all feminine in relation to it. You had better agree with your adversary quickly."
"You mean I shall have to become a Christian?" said Jane.
"It looks like it," said the Director.1
It's my favorite thing, the four of us sitting around the kitchen table, one in the morning, empty bottles everywhere, eyeballs-deep in the aesthetics of gender, or the theology of sex, or anyway something that has us alternating between cackles and chills.
"I hear Shostakovich," says Jack P.,2 tracing voluptuous curves in the air to describe how he feels about women but also about certain symphonies, "and I want to put it inside myself. I want it like I want a woman, but I also want it inside me." He pauses and grins at me. "Is that gay?"
"Well, we're all feminine with respect to God," I say, paraphrasing C. S. Lewis, "so that makes sense." If one response to beauty is the desire to penetrate, another is the desire to be penetrated.
The unspoken assumption is that music, and beauty in general, is a way to experience God, something that the present company (a bunch of Lewis-reading, Beethoven-loving, Aquinas-quoting types) takes for granted.
Jack has just been maintaining that the most beautiful thing in the world is the female body. I'd just say bodies in general, since I appreciate both kinds, even if one of those appreciations is more visceral than the other.
Paul L. questions whether beauty is the right word: if a hungry man sees a hamburger on a billboard, is beauty the right name for what he experiences? Does he delight in the curve of the bun, the pert little sesame seeds, the gentle glistening of the secret sauce?
Or does he just want to devour the thing? What do we want to do with beauty? Gaze at it? Eat it up? Impregnate it, or be impregnated?3 All of the above?
To be continued.
2 P. is, of course, short for "Pigford". This is what happens when you let your buddies pick their own aliases.
3 Cf. also a certain passage in Voyage To Arcturus: "If you were to regard nature as the husband, and Panawe as the wife…perhaps everything would be explained."
16 Comments on "What Is Sex, Part I: Secret Sauce"
Years ago I had something of a "mystical" experience while listening to Cesar Franck's Chorale No. 3 in A minor for organ. At the time I thought of certain passages in it as a "break-through to the infinite".
The Space Trilogy is like a cosmic Theology of the Body for those of us who understand its language and images better, and for those of us who had to be coaxed into the Church.
I was just contemplating this today! 🙂 When I encounter beauty, I think I want all of the above- I want to be caught up in it, to breath it, gaze upon it, and live it. It makes me think of Eden, heaven, and all that we were created to be and experience as humans.
I have seen more beauty in trees than in the human body.
Yeah, my theory has always been that the whole obsession with sex–which goes back, apparently, to that whole mix-up with the Fruit and the discovery of nakedness–is simply the Enemy's most successful campaign of obfuscation. We can't have sex with a sunset, so it's not a temptation; but we can have sex with a beautiful person, so he makes us think that's the entirety of what we want, whereas in reality we want to pass through that beauty and become one with the Fountain of it. Except we don't realize that that's what we want because we haven't been taught, or we forget; we're like screaming children who honestly don't think they're overtired (plus there's probably almost always an element of willful blindness). And it's even more complicated because, as with any good lie, this one sticks audaciously close to the truth: after all, the only positive command we were given in Eden was, "Now go have tons of sex." So… well played, the Enemy. But we're onto your tricks. (Butt-face.)
"we're like screaming children who honestly don't think they're overtired"
Great analogy. That hits home just because I have to deal with such screaming almost daily.
Interesting. You took us from a sensual consideration in the beginning and to considering serious principles of beauty in the end.
There must be a connection between the beautiful and possession. And sex is the strongest way we can possess something outside ourselves.
can't wait for the sequel
To me, I never associated sex with love but once in my life and that ended so bad it affected the rest of my life. Love you can have it, it destroyed me. Jesus save me.
I once read that the joy we feel when we experience something of great beauty is a small taste of the joy we will feel in the presence of God. I wish I could remember who wrote it.
These things are why I have a hard time putting sexual sins at the forefront of WORST SINS EVER like it seems we, as Christians, seem to be supposed to.
Sex, even illicit sex, at least has its roots in Good Things: things like desire for connection with another person, a desire to be "penetrated" by beauty… There's probably a reason that only one of sins crying to heaven for vengeance has anything to do with sex. And lust is only one of seven of the deadly sins, right up there with violence, greed, and eating too much. (The latter seems to have the most connection to lust, seeing as a desire for food is a good and natural thing in and of itself, and it's not until you get concupiscence involved that it becomes bad.)
This was a great post; a very beautiful illustration of part of what it is to be human…
Oh, and not to mention, regarding lust, you can desire to have sex with someone without it actually being lustful. That's what attraction *is*. Most people aren't going to go through life and never see a person that makes them think, "That person and I should make babies. Babies optional."
The desire for sex with someone you're not married to is not necessarily lustful, unless it removes their humanity from the equation– making sex about you, and not about wanting to connect with THAT specific person. Which means that a married person can still feel sinful lust for their spouse.
Dorothy L. Sayers wrote a wonderful essay called "the other six," about the six deadly sins that aren't Lust. She notes that three — gluttony, anger, and lust — are "disreputable," in that it's obvious and rather low-class to engage in them. She also notes they are the three least serious. Avarice, Envy, Sloth, and Pride are all something respectable people do, and in the case of avarice and pride, they are even commendable.
I mention this in relation to your comment because I note that gluttony, lust, and anger are all sins that require a response to one or anther of creations blessings, food, drink, another beautiful person, or, in the case of anger, an idea. It isn't possible to commit any of these sins by yourself, so they always entail at least the possible of a connection to God. Avarice needs things as well, although it's still more of a cold and isolated sin. The remaining three can be committed alone, entirely in the sinner's own head. Thus, those sins separate us from each other and from God far more effectively that sins that require an outside stimulus.
@Sarah: The Church does not consider sexual sins as the worst, for pride has that distinction. I believe that Aquinas taught that sins related to pride are worse than those of the flesh, because the latter are usually more the result of weakness.
the cheeseburger reference gave me a chuckle. I thought of an old tune:
"at night I'd had these wonderful dreams
Some kind of sensuous treat
Not zucchini, fettucini or Bulgar wheat
But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat –
Cheeseburger in paradise"

*Motions to Reduce Bond (918) 583-4621 *Visa & Some Credit Cards
Payment Plan Available * Experienced Criminal Defense * Over 19 Years
I accept CASH, VISA, or Payment Plan. I limit my practice at this time to OKLAHOMA. I have practiced law for over 19 years and I have handled thousands of MISDEMEANOR-FELONY cases, considerably more than some of my competitors. If you are charged with a criminal offense, you should hire an experienced criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible in order to protect your legal rights. I have the experience and knowledge to handle your case with the least amount of inconvenience. I can answer your questions and concerns about what to expect when you go to court. Freedom is one of the most precious things in the world; you would be acting foolish to appear in front of a Judge without adequate representation. I can help you deal with this problem. Call me now at 583-4621. - Glen R. Graham, Attorney at Law
You would be foolish to appear in front of a Judge without lawyer. In a bind, I can meet you in court on your court date if you are able to hire me.
My fee on any felony or misdemeanor is based upon the amount of work and other factors. Beware of low fee quotes that promise unrealistic results. Quality work costs money, low quality work is cheap. An adequate fee to devote the necessary amount of time and energy necessary to win a case or to get a good deal requires adequate payment. Also, if you don't care about whether the lawyer spends sufficient time or energy on your case necessary to get a good deal or to win, then you might be satisfied with a low fee quote. Payment plan, cash or Visa.
You need straight and realistic answers from a lawyer and not "scare tactics" or outlandish promises. You don't need unrealistic exaggerations, sales puffing or self-glorification or three page letters with excessive promises and letters written in excessively large type almost shouting at you. You should always ask the lawyer how many years they have been in practice and a letter that fails to state it is questionable. Each case is different and requires a thorough examination of the individual facts for any legal defenses.
You may want to employ me to file to obtain a bond reduction or to file a motion to suppress evidence or to quash your arrest. Any criminal case is a serious matter as it carries the potential of being sentenced to jail and freedom is one of the most precious things in the world. YOU NEED A LAWYER YOU CAN TRUST TO GET THE JOB DONE RIGHT. Please call me to schedule an appointment to discuss your options. My telephone number is (918) 583-4621
If you find anything in this communication to be inaccurate or misleading, you may report the same by writing to the General Counsel of the Oklahoma Bar Association, P.O. Box 53036, Oklahoma City, OK 73152 or by calling 1-800-522-8065.

Kentucky FHA Program guidelines have been updated as follows:
For a Kentucky FHA Purchase Loan, we can go down to a 600 credit score with the minimum down payment of 3.5%. No bankruptcies or foreclosures in the last 2 years.
If you are getting cash out, then the max loan to value or equity position is limited to 85% of the homes value. For example, if you had a home that was valued at $100,000, then the max loan for a FHA Cash Out in Kentucky would be $85,000.00. You still have to may mortgage insurance for life of loan so think carefully about using FHA for a cashout refinance.
The maximum debt to income ratios will be set by the AUS when we run it, but for a refer, it will be limited to 31% and 43% respectively. For example, if you make $3000 a month gross income, the max house payment would be $930.00 piti, and the maximum monthly payments including the new house payment would be $1290.00. So in the above example, the most you could have left in monthly bills listed on the credit report would be $360.00–If you had child support this would count in the dti calculation on the backend ratio of 43%
The seller can pay up to 6% of the buyer's closing costs and prepaids (property taxes, home insurance for 1st years escrows) of the sales price. So, if you purchased a home for $100,000.00, the seller could give you a concession at closing to pay your closing costs and prepaids. A lot of Kentucky First Time homebuyers use this to limit their cash to close.
The minimum down payment of 3.5% for Kentucky FHA Loans can come from a family member in the form of a gift, or can be borrowed from a 401k, retirement account, or secured asset like a car.
• Seller must own the property a minimum of 90 days prior to the contract date.
FHA loans do not require a termite or home inspection, but they do require a HUD appraisal by a FHA approved Appraiser.
The following changes are effective for all Kentucky FHA case numbers assigned on or after June 3, 2013: FHA is changing the duration for the collection of MIP
o For all mortgages with an original principal LTV of 90% or less, regardless of loan term, the annual MIP will be assessed for 11 years.
o For all mortgages with an original principal LTV greater than 90%, regardless of loan term, the annual MIP will be assessed for the entire life of the loan.
Loans of 15 year terms or less with LTV 78% or less will pay an MIP amount of 45 bps.
FHA Streamlines Prior to June 2009
FHA Streamlines with case numbers dated June 11, 2012 or later will have new MIP rules applied. If the loan being refinanced was endorsed on or before May 31, 2009, the new Streamline will receive a flat annual MIP of 55 basis points, regardless of loan amount, and the UFMIP ratio will decrease to 0.01% of the base loan amount.

CNN asked the Democratic National Committee to prepare questions for Wolf Blitzer's interview with Donald Trump, according to emails released by Wikileaks.
In an April 25 email entitled "Trump Questions for CNN," the DNC's Lauren Dillon asked fellow Democrats for questions Blitzer could ask Trump.
"Wolf Blitzer is interviewing Trump on Tues ahead of his foreign policy address on Wed," she wrote. "Please send me thoughts by 10:30 AM tomorrow. Thanks!"
Wiki: CNN Asks Dems For #Trump Interview Questions https://t.co/dtOjvvd8uZ Please RT! #PodestaEmails33 @DRUDGE @DonaldJTrumpJr pic.twitter.com/nnHpPJbw84
— Kit Daniels (@KitDaniels1776) November 7, 2016
The DNC came up with a lengthy set of questions for CNN:
– Who helped you write the foreign policy speech you're giving tomorrow? Which advisors specifically did you talk to? What advice did they give you? Did they give you any advice that you chose not to take?
– CIA Director Brennan and former CIA Director Hayden have both said that our military and intelligence officers might refuse to follow some of your orders if you were president. What would you do if the military refused to listen to you? Should they be court-martialed if they refuse to follow orders?
– You've said you look to Ambassador John Bolton for military advice and called him "terrific," but he was one of the architects of the Iraq war. How do you explain your praise for Bolton if you also claim the war was a mistake? What advice have you taken from him?
You can read the rest here, but there's a few other gems:
– Do you think American victims of 9/11 should be able to sue Saudi Arabia in court? What role, if any, do you think Saudi Arabia had in the 9/11 attacks?
– You've said we should have bombed the "right people" after 9/11 and have suggested that the government has evidence Saudi Arabia was involved. Do you think we should have instead bombed Saudi Arabia?
This is smoking gun, undeniable proof that CNN is in the tank for Hillary Clinton – and the rest of the mainstream media is no different.
In fact, the Clinton campaign is acting as an assignment editor for the establishment media by telling reporters what to cover – and what to bury from public view that would otherwise hurt Hillary.
Previous Wikileaks emails revealed that campaign staffers are directly working with mainstream "journalists" to develop news stories favorable to the campaign – before they're published!
"Huffington Post is doing a piece on our treasurer Jose Villareal — will likely focus at least partially on him sitting on the Walmart board," said campaign communications staffer Jesse Lehrich in a 2015 email, which reads like a reporter assignment list at a major newspaper. "Other outstanding stories include: [Buzzfeed correspondent] Ruby Cramer on our grassroots organizing, Anita Kumar (McClatchy) on where we have organizers and how we've spent our money during Q2, and [Washington Post reporter] Phil Rucker on HRC talking about gun violence prevention."

What does the 2014/2015 season hold for Liverpool?
THE Anfield faithful have always held a strong belief that their team will once again compete for major honours following a relatively barren spell from the Champions League triumph in 2005. Their dreams and aspirations may now be met by Liverpool's resurgence as a major Premier League contender following a wonderful 2013/2014 campaign where they came so close to lifting the title. Lessons were learnt from the manner in which Liverpool threw away a wonderful opportunity to win their first league title since 1990, but it should take nothing away from the excellent job Brendan Rodgers has done to make the club competitive again.
It will be fascinating to see whether Liverpool can challenge for the title again during the upcoming season which promises to be full of the drama, excitement and tension that has become synonymous with the Premier League. Rodgers has already been active in the transfer market to not only make Liverpool a stronger force, but also combat other title rivals who have also spent several millions on new acquisitions. Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert, Emre Can and Lazar Markovic represent excellent business for Liverpool who are expected to be extremely busy during the summer transfer window with players entering and leaving through the Anfield doors. Every top quality signing should reduce Liverpool's odds of winning the Premier League, but there is a limit to what you can win before any fans consider placing a big bet on the Reds.
Divock Origi
Losing Luis Suarez is a major blow for Brendan Rodgers and Liverpool as the mercurial striker may be impossible to replace. The £75 million deal does, however, provide Rodgers with a considerable injection of funds into the transfer budget to spend wisely on sourcing a top quality goalscorer to be as productive as Suarez. 31 Premier League goals may be a tall ask for any incoming striker, but Rodgers may target a young, highly-talented striker who has the ability to make a real impact over a number of years. Divock Origi falls into this category, with the 19-year-old Lille striker rising to prominence as a shining light with Belgium at this summer's World Cup. The young prodigy offers electric pace, directness and a wonderful eye for goal – qualities which have caught the attention of a number of prestigious European clubs, including Liverpool.
Dejan Lovren
Defensive mistakes and lack of organisation may have been at the root of Liverpool's shortcomings at the end of last season when the Premier League title was well within their grasps. It is for this reason that Rodgers has been strongly linked with a move for Dejan Lovren who has publicly stated his desire to join Liverpool. Southampton have rejected an opening offer of £20 million for their star centre-back who could be the latest to leave amid a mass exodus following an excellent season under Manuel Pocchetino, who he himself has left for Tottenham. The loss of Suarez and no transfer movement, as yet, to bring in top quality defenders is reflected in Liverpool's Premier League odds of 10/1, but acquiring Lovren could be a significant piece of the jigsaw.
Liverpool's youth system
Brendan Rodgers has proved himself to be a shrewd businessman in the transfer market to identify and bring in players that have taken Liverpool to the next level. While fans may be quick to write their own shopping list and dream of world class players arriving at Anfield, there is also every chance that Rodgers may choose to integrate a number of young hot shots from the academy into the first team picture. Jordan Ibe has already made a big impression in the youth setup, with the 18-year-old showing wonderful pace and ability that could be utilised by Liverpool next season. Tiago Ilori and Kevin Stewart could also work their way into the first team fold, with the young defenders showing plenty of promise in an area where Liverpool need extra options. The latter has arrived on a free transfer from Tottenham, and much is expected of the 20-year-old who may be at the best club to develop and transform into a future first team regular.

The Thermo Flare jacket is an incredibly soft feeling fleece which offers a good amount of warmth for it's low weight. An excellent fleece for wearing over a light baselayer in mild conditions or layered under a down/shell in winter conditions.
Marmot says:
The Thermo Flare Jacket delivers weather-resistant insulation without batting an eye. The secret is in the high-loft Polartec® Thermal Pro® fabric, which provides uncompromised warmth in a lightweight package.
|PolartecThermal Pro- The most visually dynamic and technically advanced of the Polartec insulation fabrics. Available in a a variety of unique surface textures and patterns designed to enhance performance. Click the Logo to read more...
Marmot's Thermo Flare Jacket uses incredibly soft fleece fabric, inside and out. So soft in fact you might not want to take it off. It's very light considering the warmth you get out of it and it packs down well to store in a pack.
There's a few features which make it stand out from other fleeces. The first is that the hand warmer pockets are on the large size. You practically get an entire torso's worth of height inside, so you will have no problem storing long maps.
Secondly is the stretchy cuffs. The pictures don't show it well but there's a V-shaped cut out at the cuffs which has been replaced with stretchy fabric which gives you better freedom of movement It's also slightly tougher than the fleece so will help against general wear when grabbing or using kit.

There is now an Ice cream that cures hangovers
- Publish Date
- Sunday, 28 May 2017, 1:43PM
Oh, bless you South Korea! The Sunday versions of us are very, very grateful!
Say goodbye to your Gatorade, Powerade, Ibuprofens and say hello ice cream! According to reports, South Koreans will be eating their hangovers away with the Gyeondyo-bar. The revolutionary bar, which is apparently Grapefruit flavoured (eep!) is mixed with a small dollop of oriental raisin tree fruit juice, which has long been considered the real fighter in Hangover cures since the 1600s. Which only raises the question, WHERE HAS THAT BEEN OUR WHOLE LIFE!!!
The name Gyeondyo apparently translates into "hang in there", which is literally what we are telling ourselves almost every Sunday! Now the next mission is to get that here in New Zealand and life would be complete!

About the International Space Station
The ISS is seen as a stepping-stone for the building of a future Moon base?
There is a lot of talk about this. The ISS certainly is a stepping-stone for the further exploration of space. I think that everyone working in the world of space is convinced that the ISS is not an end point. There are a lot of ideas, thinking in different ways and about different approaches: a Moon base, a manned mission to Mars… The ISS is not the final goal.
What is the contribution of Belgium to the ISS programme?
Belgium makes a considerable contribution via ESA, especially in the field of the development of new technologies. For instance there is the development of the Crew Return Vehicle (CRV). Belgium makes a large contribution to the X-38 programme for the CRV. And there is science. Although Belgium is a small country it is paying 10% of the scientific equipment for the European Columbus laboratory, which will be docked to the ISS in 2004. So Belgium's efforts are considerable.
Do you experience rivalry between the participating countries?
No, not rivalry. But of course there are differences in terms of technology, operations and on the highest political level: what should be our goals? One of the biggest challenges and also advantages of the Space Station has been that we were able to surpass these differences. We don't see it as rivalry, but as a challenge to solve problems. Until now, we've been doing a fairly good job.

Stéphane Benoist: the south face of Annapurna and the importance of a climbing partnership
Interview with French alpinist Stéphane Benoist after the recent, epic ascent of the South Face of Annapurna carried out together with Yannick Graziani.
We had been worried about them. About Stéphane Benoist and Yannick Graziani, the two French mountaineers who in mid-October and on the immense south face of Annapurna made the first repeat of the route initially forged by Jean-Christophe Lafaille and Pierre Beghin in 1992, and completed on 9 October this year by Switzerland's Ueli Steck. For ten long days we held our breath and then, on 29 October, confirmation finally reached us of their summit, of the difficult descent, subsequent helicopter evacuation and, unfortunately, Benoist's severe frostbite. Thanks to the precious collaboration with Claude Gardien, Editor-in-chief of Vertical Magazine, we can now provide some insight into their ascent which is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful stories to come from the Himalayas in recent months.
It is important to remember that at the start of October Ueli Steck climbed the same face and the same route in 28 hours, including the descent, and that Steck himself told us how at the time the mountain was in truly exceptional conditions. Having said that, it is equally important to remember and underline that alpinism is based on absolutely unique events; every ascent is unique, every climb has its own particular story. And it is for this reason that every action, every choice made in mountaineering become something both unrepeatable and, at the same time, fascinating.
What emerges from the interview with Stéphane Benoist is a great and epic story of alpinism; the two resisted and survived for 10 days on the difficult, extraordinary and impressive South Face of Annapurna thanks to their climbing ability, their friendship and the strength of nothing less than a great climbing partnership.
Stéphane, First of all, how are you doing?
I'm fine, my morale is high. Time is passing slowly, because of the frostbite, we're waiting to see how the necrosis evolves so that the live parts can regenerate as best possible before the operation. I'm a bit tired of having all these disgusting black things at the end of my fingers. I still have to wait 15 days. But on the other hand I am so glad of what we did! It's a high price to pay. But it's part of the game.
Can you tell us about the great adventure up the South Face of Annapurna?
Personally, I preferred the Japanese spur. It is a beautiful alpine line that leads straight to the central summit, a little lower than the main summit. Yannick was inclined to go for the Beghin – Lafaille route. This too is a beautiful line and in a sense it is more "Himalayan" because it leads to the highest point. On the upper section of the Japanese spur a band of black shale was very dry, there was little ice. The Beghin - Lafaille route seemed more feasible. We started up the Japanese spur because we knew we would find a safe bivouac site, sheltered from falling rocks and avalanches, thank to our attempt in 2010. We started late, it was hot. We had some rockfalls but we managed nevertheless. We knew we would find this bivy and that there would be enough snow to dig a terrace. But we had set off up the Beghin – Lafaille.
Can you provide us with some ascent details?
Day 1, October 17 - Departure from Advanced Base Camp (5000m), crossing the bergschrund (5750m), very good sheltered bivy at 6050m.
Day 2 – We ascended up to 6700m, bivouac in an ice flute, the same as in 2010. Bad weather reached us, we remained here for days 3 and 4, so three nights in total. We would have liked to rest for a day, but this stop was really tiring. Yet we were in better shape than in 2010. And when the storm finally stopped, we had an exceptional weather window. We had some beautiful sunsets. In 2010 we'd only had two...
Day 5 – We set off at night, very early. I wore all my clothes, because it was very cold. Within the tent, in the sleeping bags it was OK, but outside the cold started to bite. We made a large diagonal crossing to reach the base of the headwall. It seemed faster than expected and we got there at about mid- day. We pitched the route, gaining approximately 70 metres per hour. We're not as good as Ueli, it has to be said... We came across good ice, even over 7000. I had never encountered these conditions this high. We climbed 4 difficult pitches, the hardest was the third, I then had to haul up my rucksack, the pitch took between one and half to two hours. Yannick, with a rucksack on his back and seconding, had trouble with this section. It must by M6. M5+ in Cham, but up there... (he laughs). We arrived at a small slab of ice. We saw another one 30m lower down, thicker. So we abseiled down to this and managed to hack a small ledge our buttocks. An alpine bivouac... we used the tent as a blanket. We were at circa 7200, 7250 metres. We weren't cold. When resting I respond well to altitude and slept well. Yannick was perhaps less comfortable than I was.
Day 6 – We started by ascending the fixed rope. It was bloody boring. The weather forecast was excellent. And whenever it was forecast incorrectly, it turned out even better than expected! Moreover, we had three days of "summit day" weather. On day 6 we advanced 150m up the steep but discontinuous ice. Yannick led a grade 5 ice pitch. At around 7300m we came across an old rigid Friend. The other two had climbed up to here, at least... We didn't set off early that morning since we wanted to wait for the sun. During the day we opened our down jackets and climbed without sleeves. We even managed to climb without gloves. We found a snowy site to pitch the tent. And it's there, no doubt about it, that Yannick lost his headtorch, at the bivy.
Day 7 - I started by making a route error that cost me a lot of energy and time: an hour, an hour and a half instead of just 10 minutes... 4 or 5 pitches separated us from the top of the headwall, the angle eased off a little, it resembled classic north face terrain like we have at home, with a M4+/M5 section at the end, at about 7500m. We climbed another two pitches and found a good bivy spot.
Day 8 – Early morning start. We were "dazed" by the altitude and cold, was had turned around and around all night in our tent. Yannick is usually the fastest, but that morning I was ready first. We took just one rucksack for the two of us and some rope. Yannick, still on slightly better form than me, caught up with me. Then he had to descend to the tent to get his gloves. I waited, we were perhaps 150m below the summit. The terrain was roughly PD/AD, ideal for making a false step and falling. We climbed carefully, Yannick wanted us to rope up. Perhaps he was feeling the fatigue from having had to descend for the gloves, our rhythm became irregular. I am methodical at altitude: I've read Messner's books and climb just like him: I count my steps, I recover my breath, and set off again. Like a steamroller. I beat the trail to about 50 or 70 metres below the summit, and then I exploded. K.O. Yannick overtook me, I failed to follow. On the top, a small steep bump (60°) is equipped with fixed ropes. There were two generations of ropes: this was the top of the Bonington route. At 11:00 we reached the summit. It's a bizarre summit, an arête of horizontal snow with three bumps so we don't know which is the highest. We ascended the first two and spent 20 minutes up there. It was Yannick's birthday, his 40th. Yannick tied me in for the start of the descent, when it became easier we untied. We both had the sensation as if something was there with us. Yannick even spoke to someone. He descended in front of me. We reached our bivy at nightfall. That night was hell. We were at 7550, 7650 m, higher than we thought. I needed to rest. Yannick wanted us to descend that night, but the headtorch ran out of batteries.
Day 9 - The sun reached us right away. We set off, not at all rested. Yannick set up the abseils. We searched for the ice to make the Abalakov threads. We stopped at the end of the day, a little below the rock band, at circa 6700m, we melted snow and rested for an hour. Night fell, we had no headtorch... It was beautiful, the moon rose, we could try and continue. I was exhausted. I had a lung infection, but I didn't know it. I couldn't understand what was happening to me. I was fairly lucid. I didn't have the symptoms of an edema. We used the light of the stove as Yannick prepared the abseils, and descend to 6050m at 3:00am.
Day 10 – We set off again when the sun reached us. Yannick did everything, I was completely spent, he even took part of my load. The terrain was AD, we abseiled off. I needed to concentrate to not loose my balance and fall.Yannick managed to call for a helicopter rescue. We slid over the Bergschrund. We had to jump over a second, higher Bergschrund. This was circa 3 or 4m high, Yannick's ribs hurt. I searched around to find a section that was slightly lower, but the ice was hard. We used our longest piece of rope, tied in with all that remained of our slings and straps to cross the glacier. Then I told Yannick to go ahead to Advanced Base Camp. He found it before nightfall and I followed his footsteps. He prepared hot drinks, fetched water, took care of everything.
It's easy to comprehend that the physical and psychological difficulties, due to being on that face for such a long time, must have been immense. What gave you the strength to resist and continue for so many days?
I think it was our determination. And the climbing partnership. With Yannick I've not formed a similar partnership as with Patrice Glairon-Rappaz. But we've known each other for ages, ever since we were young. He's very direct and sometimes difficult. But he is incredibly experience and has an amazing survival instinct. I decided to let him make the decisions and I don't regret this. That doesn't prevent us though from sharing and discussing things.
What was the hardest bit? And did you ever think you might not succeed?
The hardest part was the descent. It was a test. Each abseil was a real test. We doubted all the time. It was so unbelievable to be on such a face that we knew failure was possible at any time. Had we had a problem, then we'd have been ready to descend at any moment, but we were under the illusion that everything was going well. I slept well, I was under the illusion that I was recovering. But there is no certainty until you finally set foot on the summit. During the last 200 meters you're drawn in by the summit. This is the area of a fatal attraction. You've been climbing for eight days and you don't want to let this go.
Yours sounds like a truly "epic" story of alpinism, during which your climbing partnership managed to deal with great moments of difficulty together.
I believe more and more in climbing partnerships. A partnership, if it works well, isn't 1 +1 = 2, it equates to 2.5 or 3. Something special is created. Our partnership worked perfectly. What also allowed us to succeed is our experience. This was Yannick's third 8000er, while in 2008 I climbed the South face of Nuptse with Patrice Glairon-Rappaz. And we both have climbed many technically difficult routes between 6 and 7000 m. We've learnt a lot. First of all about partnerships. And we have also realised what it means to experience illusion. We thought everything was fine, but we were at the limit.
Why did it take so long for news to filter through?
We knew that the descent would take a long time. We didn't want to waste the batteries of our phone, and we even kept them warm under our clothes. We were too busy to make calls!
What do you think about Ueli Steck's extremely fast ascent?
It's revolutionary. But I expected it. Just look at his career in the Alps. When we met in Kathmandu I felt he was ready to do something exceptional. I had also seen at a conference and I understood his approach, his structured approach to his training. And the McIntyre route on the Grandes Jorasses in 2 hours 21, had astounded me.
After "your" South Face of Annapurna, has your way of interpreting alpinism changed and, if yes, how? And what is alpinism for you?
For me this marks a new chapter. And this would also be the case even if I didn't have frostbite. This is my greatest achievement. As regards mountaineering in general, it doesn't change anything. This route is in line with what I have always wanted to do: higher and higher routes, and always technical. I was not attracted by the ordinary routes. It takes a lot of time to reach the necessary maturity. Alpinism is a big part of my life. I've built myself around it. And it's not finished yet. Alpinism has given me a great deal: reflection, enjoyment, emotions, suffering, too, and even more excitement. A climbing partnership is important, I've become who I am in mountaineering thanks to my climbing partners. I love spending time in the mountains, it is a complete break from the routine of everyday life

"It's a beautiful day!!"
Something so nice happened today. I got a Christmas gift from my students. They all put their money together to buy me a sterling silver necklace that has my name on it. It is lovely. And how nice of them to do that for me. I am moved.
They were supposed to get it so they could give it to me at the studio Christmas party but the company did not send it to them on time even though they confirmed they would do just that. Bad business!!! Be reliable. People remember that stuff!!!
Back to the positive–if you want to see my necklace just ask me. I'll be wearing it all the time!!
It's so weird not to put numbers here.

There's more than one way you can profit offering on Amazon. I will enlighten you concerning the primary ones in this article.First of all, Amazon Marketplace. Commercial center offers you a chance to offer items (not simply books but rather an entire scope of things) on precisely the same on Amazon's site where Amazon offer the item themselves. So you get the opportunity to contend with them head-on, and even get the opportunity to rival them on cost. Offering costs are settled – Marketplace isn't a bartering. You can list a boundless number of things for nothing however what they call a referral expense is charged on every deal. Commercial center is for both new and utilized items. Commercial center is reasonable whether you simply need to make some extra money low maintenance, yet in addition in the event that you need to begin an 'appropriate' independent company. The other fundamental approach to profit is Amazon Associates. Partners is essentially a member programm. The most effective method to how to sell on Amazon for beginners. It's anything but difficult to begin with Amazon Marketplace. You don't have to enlist ahead of time. You can open a merchant account when you list your first item. On the off chance that you as of now have a purchaser account on Amazon you can add your merchant record to that. To enlist as a dealer you will require a business name, an address, a show name, a Visa and a phone contact number. That is all you have to begin. Go to the Amazon site, look down the page to 'Profit With Us' and after that 'Offer On Amazon'. You will then observe two alternatives: Sell a little or offer a ton? Amazon offers two passage focuses into Marketplace which they casually tag as 'offering a bit' or 'offering a ton'.
Essentially 'a bit' is for incidental and diversion merchants who hope to offer under 35 things every month. It costs 86p in addition to a referral charge for every deal. You are likewise limited to the item classifications you can offer in. In any case, the preferred standpoint is that it costs for all intents and purposes nothing to begin and there are no progressing charges assuming, at first, you don't offer in particular. Offering 'a considerable measure' is for proficient dealers who hope to offer more than 35 things per month. You pay a 28.75 month to month settled charge and a referral expense. You can offer in all the Amazon item classes. It isn't generally reasonable to list low value, low volume items as an 'offer a bit' dealer. To do that you should be an 'offer a ton' vender! Notwithstanding, I'd prescribe you take the 'offering a bit' course to begin with. You can simply update later.
When you are offering 'a considerable measure' you will most likely likewise need to end up what Amazon call a Pro Merchant Seller. Ace Merchants approach volume offering and mass posting apparatuses. There is a web interface that enables you to all the more effortlessly deal with your item portrayals, stock and requests. You will likewise have the capacity to fare and import data to and from your record. When you get up and running the offering a great deal/Pro Merchant choice will work out significantly less expensive and, vitally, will enable you to chip away at more tightly edges and profit from deals that the individuals who offer only a little can't. Amazon Marketplace Selling – how to offer your items Now we should investigate precisely how you put items available to be purchased on Amazon Marketplace. The possibility of Marketplace is that you offer your item on the very same page on which Amazon and some other Marketplace merchants offer it. In this way, to begin with, locate the proportional new item in the Amazon index. Utilize the 'Hunt' apparatus at the highest point of the Amazon landing page. Put in the item compose and name and Amazon will consequently take you to the right page to show it. Next, check painstakingly that the item compose, brand and model number or whatever Amazon has found for you is the right one. When you achieve that page you'll discover a catch called 'Offer Yours Here'. Tap on it, sign into your vender record, and you would now be able to list your item promptly.
Presently this is the extremely sharp thing about Amazon. Expecting the item as of now exists in the Amazon list a posting is instant for you to utilize. You don't need to compose a depiction or transfer a photograph. You should simply state what condition your item is in (i.e. new or one of a few standard utilized portrayals), express the amount you have available to be purchased and fill in the value you require. Likewise choose what postage alternatives you need to offer. (At this stage you can likewise choose whether you will send the item to another country or not. In the event that you wish, you can add a further portrayal up to 2,000 characters (not words). This will enable you to separate your item or offering from Amazon and from different merchants. At that point, Amazon will give you a rundown of your inclining to check and furthermore affirm what their charges will be if the thing offers. In case you're content with this simply click 'Present Your Listing' and you're off. Once you've done this your thing is consequently recorded until the point when it offers or for 60 days (uncertainly in case you're a Pro Merchant.

The method, developed by a team at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center, uses CRISPR-Cas9 to systematically delete thousands of tumor genes to test their function in a mouse model. In findings published today by Nature, researchers led by pediatric oncologist W. Nick Haining, BM, BCh report that deletion of one gene, Ptpn2, made tumor cells more susceptible to PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors. Other novel drug targets are likely around the corner.
PD-1 inhibition "releases the brakes" on immune cells, enabling them to locate and destroy cancer cells. But for many patients, it's not effective enough on its own.

Calvin Harris And Taylor Swift Might Not Work Out Because He's Allergic To Her Pussies
According to MSN News, the adorable sunshine-haired match made in the PR offices of Candy Land that is the coordinated his-and-hers clothing romance between Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris is already in trouble, and it's all because of her cats. A "source" (that gossipy skank Queen Frostine) says that Calvin discovered he was allergic to Tay Tay's two butterscotch fur babies, Meredith and Olivia, after he tried to spend the night at Tay Tay's sugar cookie compound in LA last week. Instead of snacking on her Sunkist Fun Fruit (ew, I'm sorry), he spent the whole night "blowing his nose and complaining he couldn't breathe."
The source goes on to say that Tay Tay's pussies shed like crazy and there's cat hair all over the bed, so Calvin has suggested they start hooking up at his house or in hotel rooms. But since everyone knows Tay Tay's legs won't open unless someone guides her over to her pastel rose canopy bed using a Precious Places key, that probably won't happen.
Calvin Harris better stock up on Costco-quantities of Benadryl if he wants to keep seeing Tay Tay, because there's no way she's going to choose him over her cats. Tay Tay is more attached to those pussies than she is her own pussy, and if push comes to shove, she'll dump him faster than a bag full of stinky littler-crusted cat turds.
I'm sure if it was at all possible, Tay Tay would have had her cats present that Milestone Award she received from the Academy of Country Music last night instead of her mother Andrea, but I doubt her cats would have been into it. Unless it's the red dot at the end of a laser pointer or a fresh pile of laundry, cats don't give a shit.
And because no story about Tay Tay is complete without a couple pictures of her looking like a limited-edition Betty Draper Barbie doll, here she is in NYC on Saturday:

Oh, right. I come here all set to entertain and amuse with the news of my latest impending love disaster and I realize I kind of left a cliffhanger with my last significant one…Boomer.
Boomer did stay in touch. He was interested, clearly. We even got around one night to agreeing to actually try out an an actual relationship. Albeit, an open one. Open-ish. He's 2,000 miles away and I'm no fool.
I saw him again in mid-December. He was on a layover in a town 4 hours from me. We planned it a few weeks ahead. I drove up to see him on a Friday evening until early Saturday morning. We had about 11 hours together.
Then in January, I used a travel credit I had to fly to Georgia for about 12 hours.
Some time after that, we were talking and he decided a relationship really wouldn't work out, that we should keep things "light and fun." And that was fair, I couldn't really argue with it. He's too far away, he's not really getting a lot of trips to the East Coast, and when he is off and back home he wants to spend time with his kids.
So, that was disappointing to hear but I understood because it's frankly, just…right. He's either home 2,000 miles away or otherwise anywhere else 2,000 (or more) miles away so that severely hinders the amount of time we could spend together. It is what it is, that's just the way it worked out.
Despite that, in early February (I think), I drove up to the same 4-hours-away town again to see him. Very impromptu. He only told me a few hours before getting there that he was going to be there. I think he was on "reserve" and just found out or something. Nevertheless, at least this time, though he wasn't getting in until close to midnight, he didn't have to leave until the early evening the next day. So that gave us about 18 hours together at least.
But that's the last time I saw him. And as it stands now, we just talk every once in a while. And that's only when he runs across my mind (which is not often at this point) and I happen to wonder what he's up to. Otherwise I don't hear from him on his own and my enthusiasm at having to initiate conversation is waning.
No hard feelings or anything, though. If he texts me, I'll answer. I'm just not going to be hard pressed to stay in contact. It was fun while it lasted though.

Earth Day 2016: Celebrating the Trees!
by Amy Lignor
2016 is quite a year for celebration when it comes to the world around us; the need for celebration, that is. When it comes to response time for worldwide emergencies—climate change, the horrific water situation in Rio that the Olympians will have to deal with, as well as the water at home that one small town is fighting to restore in order to stay in their homes—that response time has been slim to none. It would be an understatement to say that we, as a community and as a human population has been slow to stop the damaging activities that are causing the planet to become more and more ill. What might be even worse to hear is that this problem was brought to the forefront of peoples' minds over forty years ago. It was in 1972, that the United Nations organized the first UN Conference on the Human Environment. When that meeting took place in Stockholm, the coming together of minds was the very beginning of global awareness between humanity and the planet. Over forty years, yet the danger has gotten worse.
On April 22nd, Earth Day will be celebrated once again. The day that is dedicated to promoting a global view of the Earth as a living, breathing entity that must be taken care of because it sustains ALL living things found in nature. This is the day that honors the Earth as a whole and our own small places upon it.
Yet another headline is happening when it comes to this particular Earth Day celebration. This will coincide with the signing of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, which will be held at the UN Headquarters based in New York City. Adopted by all 196 countries, this agreement states that everyone in power will work harder to limit global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees Celsius; given the dangerous risks the mark working to be reached will be 1.5 degrees. The ceremony is the first day that the agreement will be open for signatures, which may not sound like something "big" or a "big" step forward in saving the world…but it is. The signing is the first step in ensuring that this agreement will become legal ASAP. In other words, saving this planet will no longer be on the backburner or the focus of a few speeches and movies; it will become law that countries must follow to get the planet back on track to good health and well-being.
When picking the theme for Earth Day 2016, the job was done well. After all, the theme focuses on one of the most important things on this Earth that are needed in order for all humankind to survive: the trees.
The Earth Day Network's mission has always been to broaden the knowledge of being "green" by diversifying the mega-environmental movement worldwide in order to re-create/bring back a sustainable environment, encourage good health, address the issue of climate change, and protect this Earth so that future generations can live a good, long life. With this year's theme being trees, the Network also sets a goal of planting 7.8 billion trees over the next five years.
Not only do the trees help combat climate change, but they also absorb excess and harmful CO2 from the atmosphere. A quick fact: in one year, only one acre of mature trees does the work of absorbing the same amount of CO2 that's produced by driving the average car (ONE car) 26,000 miles. Trees provide us with that clean air we need by absorbing odors, pollutant gases such as, nitrogen oxides, ammonia, sulfur dioxide and ozone, and filter particulates out of the air by trapping them on leaves and bark.
One of the greatest things trees do is save other species. Choosing to plant the right trees can counteract the loss of specific animals by providing them food, as well as clean and healthy habitats where the species can safely dwell.
Communities all around the globe are aided by trees. By cleaning up the air we breathe and making the world better, communities see economic and environmental wealth. Food, energy, income…trees are responsible for the betterment of all lives.
So get involved! Plant a tree in your backyard, or get together as a community to plant trees in the neighborhood. Now is the time to act. Come together for Earth Day and celebrate life, health, and the almighty trees.

Director Gareth Evans has released a new image from The Raid 2 showing that the sequel will be no less violent and gory than the original. In the tweet, Evans says that the image is from a shootout that they filmed yesterday. Filming is set to go for over 100 days, and they've been rolling cameras since the end of January. If Evans is willing to tweet out this kind of gory image, it's likely this is just the tip of the blood-soaked iceberg that will make the original pale by comparison.
Hit the jump to check out the image, and click here for Steve's interview with Evans from Sundance 2012. The Raid 2 (aka Berandal) stars Iko Uwais, Tio Pakusadewo, Putra Arifin Scheunamann, Julie Estelle, Alex Abbad and Roy Marten.
Via Gareth Evans.
Here's the official synopsis for The Raid 2:
Picking up right where the first film ends, The Raid 2 follows Rama (Uwais) as he goes undercover and infiltrates the ranks of a ruthless Jakarta crime syndicate in order to protect his family and uncover the corruption in his own police force.

UNLV earned high or improved marks on rankings lists and at competitions that pitted its academics and recruitment efforts against those at other institutions. From health to business to engineering to student affairs, media outlets shared in the university's pride at reaching long-sought milestones.
Here is a compilation of just a few areas where UNLV continues to strive to climb.
UNLV Ranks Second in Campus Diversity
UNLV jumped from sixth to second place on U.S. News & World Report's annual list for "best ethnic diversity," maintaining a spot in top 10 for the fifth consecutive year. The category identifies colleges where students are most likely to encounter undergraduates from racial or ethnic groups different from their own. Later in the year, TIME Magazine did its own analysis, which also ranked UNLV the second most diverse campus nationwide.
Enrollment continued to climb out of a post-recession slump, with about 29,000 students on campus during the fall semester. UNLV welcomed its largest-ever freshman class — approximately 4,000 — for the fourth consecutive year, with about 75 percent of the incoming class hailing from Clark County. Officials attributed the spikes in part to aggressive recruitment and enhanced retention, progression and completion efforts. Additionally, U.S. News & World Report for the fifth consecutive year named UNLV among the nation's best for accepted student enrollment, ranking the university 13th overall (between Ivy League schools Columbia and Brown) and fourth among public universities.

- MundoMax, KLAS, Associated Press, Las Vegas Sun and Las Vegas Review-Journal (Move-in Day)
- KLAS (Rebel Welcome Day)
UNLV placed eighth in the world during the 2015 U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Challenge Finals, an elite competition of disaster response robots and their human supervisors. UNLV's team, DRC-HUBO @UNLV, was one of just 25 teams worldwide selected to compete in California this June against institutions such as Carnegie Mellon, MIT, Virginia Tech, Lockheed Martin; as well as countries such as Hong Kong, China, Italy, Germany and Japan. Mechanical engineering professor Paul Oh — a renowned expert in robotic and autonomous systems — led UNLV's team of post-graduate researchers, industry partners, and graduate and undergraduate students in the creation of the emergency services robot Metal Rebel (who also moonlights as an artist and musician, spends his free time palling around with UNLV President Len Jessup, loves children, and apparently dreams of one day becoming a race car driver).

Online Graduate Nursing Among Top 10
The School of Nursing earned top honors on two separate lists in 2015. Value Colleges ranked UNLV's online Master of Science in Nursing program second of the country's top 50, noting the school's breadth of available concentration areas as well as its unique trimester system and part-time offerings, which appeal to students simultaneously juggling full-time jobs. Meanwhile, the program ranked sixth on U.S. News & World Report's best-of survey of the nation's top 10 online graduate nursing programs. The programs were rated on student engagement, faculty credentials and training, peer reputation, student services and technology and admissions selectivity.
Lee Business School on the Rise
The UNLV Lee Business School also received recognition on two lists. The undergraduate program jumped 28 spots in the latest U.S. News & World Report "best colleges" rankings to 156, up from 184. Meanwhile, the part-time MBA program climbed 14 positions to 58th in the nation in Bloomberg Businessweek's "2015 Best Business Schools" ranking. Up from 72 in 2013, the Lee Business School surpassed other well-respected part-time programs, including: DePaul, George Washington, Pepperdine, North Eastern, Fordham, Chapman and Drexel.
Boyd Climbs Best Law Schools List
The UNLV William S. Boyd School of Law received its highest-ever overall ranking in U.S. News & World Report's list of best law schools, climbing 16 spots from the previous year to No. 67 out of 198 accredited law schools. The school also maintained top 10 specialty rankings for its programs in legal writing and dispute resolution. Among part-time law programs, UNLV's law school ranked 22nd. The school also ranked 43rd for diversity, moving up five spots from last year.

During the Clone Wars a new threat to the Jedi emerged. The Jedi Council learned that on the planet Ord Cestus, a new type of droid was being manufactured. This new droid was nicknamed the "Jedi Killer" and when given the opportunity to test their powers against a non-lethal version of the JK, the Jedi discover that this droid may actually be force sensitive and is able to "sense" what its opponent is going to do before the action is done. This is similar (if not the same) as what the Jedi are able to do. An example of this is the ability of Anakin Skywalker to be able to pod race in Episode One. A whole line of these droids in the hands of the Separatists could potentially mean the extinction of the Jedi and the destruction of the Republic.
Ord Cestus is still a Republic planet, but with the Jedi Killer droids, the question is: for how long? Obi-Wan Kenobi and Kit Fisto are sent to Ord Cestus to take care of this problem, diplomatically if possible, by other means if not. Obi-Wan works with the leaders of Ord Cestus to try to resolve the JK problem peacefully, but Kit Fisto starts sowing the seeds for a rebellion in case diplomacy fails. With Fisto are a squadron of Clone Troopers to help set up the rebellion.
One of these Clone Troopers, A-98 (or, Nate) was engineered to be one of the elite. Nate is in a leadership position and we see the training of the Clone Troopers through his eyes and "The Cestus Deception" gives us our first chance to really get to see the life of a Clone Trooper. Steven Barnes could have easily given us a story that barely touched upon the Troopers, but he didn't, and the Clones have now been humanized in the Star Wars Universe.
"The Cestus Deception" was a rather good prequel era Star Wars novel. It expanded upon the Clone Wars, giving the reader bits more detail about what is happening and how many smaller events are making up the whole of the Clone Wars. Something else that "The Cestus Deception" did was also touched on in "Shatterpoint". There is a change in the nature and role of the Jedi. The Jedi are not soldiers and they do not fight wars. It is against their nature. When thrust into the Clone Wars, which the Jedi have no choice but to fight as they can, they are forced to do things that would not be considered very Jedi-like. In doing so, the Jedi individually have to struggle to maintain their balance in their actions. Obi-Wan and Kit Fisto are put into such a situation in "The Cestus Deception" and while their actions seem to be out of character, they struggle with what they are required to do. For me, this helps put this novel into a greater context of the Clone Wars and the affect of the wars on the Jedi.
The political intrigue and the sections on the Clone Troopers made "The Cestus Deception" a fascinating entry into the Star Wars universe. Like the other Star Wars novels, this was a fast paced story and was easy to read. For fans of the Star Wars novels, this is worth the time to read. For newcomers to the series, i would recommend being at least familiar with the two prequel films (The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones) to give sufficient background.

Sexual assaults by taxi drivers may be extremely rare – 7,000 Chicago cabs taking only 30 passengers a day multiplies to over 76 million rides a year. But female passengers want to feel safe – and taxi drivers want to actually be safe.
I have hacked in New York City, Chicago and San Francisco. The one safety feature that made me feel safe – the only one – was the on board/satellite camera in San Francisco. It made you feel like someone is with you.
Partitions in Chicago are pointless because everyone leaves them open anyway. They just deprive the passengers of heat in the winter, air conditioning in the summer, not to mention enough room for their feet. Nobody wants them – except maybe management, which may not want to pay for cameras.
