Will there be animals in heaven?
By Randy Alcorn
Elijah was taken up to heaven in a chariot pulled by horses (2 Kings 2:11). We’re told there are horses in heaven (Revelation 6:2-8; 19:11). In fact, there are lots of horses, enough for the vast armies of heaven to ride (Revelation 19:11; 2 Kings 6:17).
Other animals aren’t mentioned in the Revelation passages, presumably because they don’t play a role in Christ’s second coming (an army bringing deliverance rides horses, not Dalmatians or hedgehogs). But isn’t it likely that since there are innumerable horses in heaven there are all kinds of other animals too? Why wouldn’t there be? Why would we expect horses to be the only animals? If there were no other animals, there wouldn’t be horses.
In Isaiah 65:17 God refers to creating a New Heavens and a New Earth. In subsequent verses the text seems to move back and forth from the millennial kingdom to the New Earth. God makes clear he will have animals living there–either in the millennium or the New Earth or both (Isaiah 65:25).
Some also argue for animals being in heaven based on Ecclesiastes 3:19-21, which says “Man’s fate is like that of the animals...all go to the same place.” However, in the larger context of Ecclesiastes Solomon is simply talking about the outward appearance of death. Men and animals both die and we can’t see where they go. Scripture tells us elsewhere, however, that man has an eternal soul. It tells us he goes one of two places at death. Animals are not said to have eternal souls. They are not said to relocate when they die. The presumption would be that at death they cease to exist.
However, this doesn’t mean beloved animals won’t be in heaven. I once read Billy Graham’s response to a little girl’s question, “Will my dog who died this week be in heaven?” Graham replied, “If it would make you any happier, then yes, he will be.” Animals aren’t nearly as valuable as people, but God is their maker and has touched many people’s lives through them. It would be simple for Him to recreate a pet in heaven. I see no reason to believe he wouldn’t if it would bring his children pleasure.
Romans 8:18-22 says that the whole creation was subject to suffering and futility because of human sin. The creation groans in longing for the liberation that will come to humans, and thereby to all creation itself. Creation is under man’s dominion and will share the rewards of his redemption just as it shared the punishment for his sin. Animals are a central part of that creation, next to man himself the most significant part. After all, besides his wife, Adam was called upon to give names only to one other part of the creation–the animals (Genesis 2:19-20). He worked the garden, but he wasn’t invited to name the vegetation. Clearly, the animals had certain qualities that set them above other creation. They were to be special to man, and his naming them makes his connection with them personal.
If the New Earth is all the best of the old earth and more, then we should expect it to contain animals. If animals weren’t part of the New Earth, this would seem an obvious oversight. Eden was ruined through sin and will be restored through Christ’s reign of righteousness. All that was part of Eden, and then made wrong through the sin of the first Adam, we would expect to be part of the New Earth, made right through the virtue of the Second Adam.
Would God take away from us in heaven what he gave, for delight and companionship and help, to Adam and Eve in Eden? Would he revoke his earlier decision to put animals with man, and under man’s care? If he remakes the New Earth with new men (who look very much like the old men, only perfect), wouldn’t we expect him also to make new animals (who will presumably look like the old animals, only perfect)?

How to choose an email for tweens
Author
Paul Banas Submitted: 10.21.11
0 Comments
First of all, a confession. I am a shoemaker and my children have no shoes.
I’ve been working in the Internet since 1996, but my daughter, at 11, is clearly the last one in her class to get an email. Opening that Pandora’s Box is something that I push off month to month, day to day, hour to hour. Now, at long last, a teacher is requiring that all six graders have an email. It’s almost Halloween and we have not yet bowed down to the edict.
If you’re scared of email for your kids, there are surprisingly few resources. If you want them to play more games, there are a million walled gardens all willing to take your money. There are lots of filters for internet use, Net Nanny and Apple’s built-in parental controls among them. And, there are plenty of kiddy email sites that allow your infant a happy place to click on lots of letters without messing up the computer too much, and these progress up to age 8, 9, or maybe 10. But if you have waited until your daughter is almost 12 to give her an email, she will cry, as mine did, when you suggest she go to a site called Zilladog to access her email.
So, it’s a sorry state, but we’ll likely get her a Gmail account and monitor it ourselves until she is a bit older. I’m not overjoyed by this, but my baby is growing up.
Still, there are some parental tasks left to do, and first among them is choosing a screen name. There is nothing I could find online on this, except for one thin forum post on choosing a screen name. So here is what I’ve come up with as a guideline for my daughter:
1. No real names. She can use a nickname or some random word, but nothing that identifies her personally.
2. No ID that she’s a girl. So no girlygirl@gmail.com. This doesn’t surprise her at all for some reason and I’m happy I don’t have to explain why I’m being careful.
3. No years, like her birth year or the current year so that she isn’t marked by a certain era. Plus adding 123 after your chosen name is so AOL circa 1999.
Unfortunately, with over 2 billion internet users (Nielsen March 2011) and who knows how many on gmail, almost any combo of words is already taken until you get into phrases that are out of common usage.
Still, the rules are in place and we may have to keep searching a bit together. Otherwise, she can start using her new email : elephantupstaircase@gmail.com as early as tonight.

Paid online access to New York Times – my opinion
Author
Paul Banas Submitted: 01.21.10
0 Comments
As a publisher, I’m happy to see the New York Times take a real lead on paid content. I’ve always thought that the Web wants to be “FREE,” but everyone knows that anything that is always given away free turns into garbage. And that’s the road most print publications are on unless they change their model. The New York Times can’t continue to create leadership journalism as it watches home delivery and newsstand sales dwindle to those few remaining octogenarians who want the inky, bulky broadsheet hanging into their cereal (Full disclosure: I’m one of them). While Google AdSense can make publishers a few dimes and nickels each month, it’s revenue potential is way over-stated and decreasing. There has to be another way.
I love the NYT solution for the following reasons:
1. It provides a benefit and distinction for home subscribers. Part of this reaction is selfish, since I’ve subscribed since I lived in New York fifteen years ago. But it stands to reason that you promote sales by giving benefits to the people who increase your value as an asset. And, advertisers like to see paid subscription since it connotes involvement.
2. It allows people to get a little bit for free. They haven’t yet said how many articles per month you will get for “free” as a non-subscriber, but it’s at least ten, that should give you enough to read your favorite columnists or features every month. Beyond that, as with public radio, you really should be donating something anyway.
3. It keeps the NYT open to Google and Bing searches. I always thought this was the way things should go. Allow the NYT to be searchable via search engines so people can find the best info online and perhaps discover the Times.
4. Most importantly, it still allows bloggers to tell the world about stories they find in the NYT, without resorting to copying articles wholesale. I often make a comment on an article, providing an interesting snipped with a link to the full article. The NYT will still allow this though clicking the link will count towards the monthly quota for unpaid users. This should help the New York Time get more readers while not destroying their model.
This is the system the New Yorker should use as well. It’s fun to send an great article to someone who is not a reader. It’s not good if someone is reading the whole thing on line while everyone else is paying. And face it, a new generation of readers is growing up and they are happy reading a book or magazine on an iPhone rather than a physical magazine.
Hats off to the New York Times.

Top internet searches for kids identified – “Sex” and “Porn” near the top of lists
Author
Paul Banas Submitted: 01.20.10
0 Comments
What were kids most interested in and curious about in 2009? Parents can tell a lot from monitoring internet searches, which may also alert them to possible topics they may need to discuss with their kids. On a more macro level, Norton has identified the top searches conducted by kids in 2009 through data from OnlineFamily.Norton, a free family safety service that parents can use to protect kids online.
Do You Know What Your Kids Are Looking For Online?
Norton looked at the top 100 searches conducted by kids age 18 and under and also broke down results by age and gender. Some of the top terms may surprise parents. “Sex” and “Porn” made it to the top overall search terms for both Teens group and “Sex” for the Tweens group. These terms should raise a red flag to parents if they haven’t had “The Talk” with their children about content that may not be appropriate for kids. Kids’ top three overall search terms in 2009 were YouTube, Google, and Facebook. While these sites can be entertaining and educational for kids under supervision, parents need to monitor usage and talk to kids about appropriate and inappropriate things they may find on-line.
Teens’ Top 25
1. YouTube 2. Facebook 3. Google 4. Sex
5. MySpace 6. Porn 7. Yahoo 8. Youtube.com 9. eBay
10. Wikipedia
Tweens’ Top 25
1. YouTube 2. Google 3. Facebook 4. Sex
5. Club Penguin 6. Youtube.com 7. You Tube 8. Miniclip
9. Yahoo 10. eBay
7 & Under Top 25
1. YouTube 2. Google 3. Facebook 4. Porn
5. Club Penguin 6. Yahoo 7. Webkinz 8. You Tube
9. Games 10. Miniclip
We use Safari installed on a Mac in our family room that the kids use periodically to play games. When they are logged into their account, Safari only allows them to surf to sites we’ve approved. We don’t allow them to look at YouTube and other sites without us being there to control the buttons. Our kids are still only 5 and 9 so that is bound to change soon.
Norton offers the basic OnlineFamily.Norton at no charge, but plans to launch a premium subscription version later in 2010.

Why parenting magazines ignore us dads
Author
Paul Banas Submitted: 10.21.09
0 Comments
It’s true most parenting magazines have mom-free names and try to insert a page or two “just for dad,” but the reason the overwhelming amount of content is geared toward the female persuasion has a lot less to do with the editors than it does the people who are paying to get the magazine out the door: the advertisers.
Sorry Dad – but they don’t care if you want five friendly recipes for adding veggies to your kid’s diet. They want to sell your wife/girlfriend a package of organic waffles with broccoli ground up inside. Because the studies show she’s the one more likely to buy them. Women are widely touted as the controllers of the family purse strings – even in families where there are shared checking accounts. The common number you hear? About eighty percent of family spending is done by the female head of household.
From Why Parenting Mags Ignore Dad | Strollerderby]
Bad news for those of us trying at least to cover the cost of the Pampers by writing about our dad experiences. Until we become a real economic force, dads are an add-on. But why is that when dads are involved, or usually lead, the very big ticket items, like the choice of the mini van or the new long-term life insurance plan.
As I mentioned a few posts back, this year at the ABC Kids show in Vegas, “dad” was integrated into all the marketing materials. Maybe dad isn’t doing the weekly shopping but he is weighing in heavily on which stroller he is willing to push down the street, or which car seat he’s going to move in and out of the car. Dads do think differently than moms, and the sexes will likely continue to have their own sweet spots and obsessions, but count on more and more dads to be making the choice of the family toothpaste and even the diapers as we take a more active role in “home” and even stay there to be with the kids.

Finally someone has come up with the ultimate service for new parents who have no time, no clue, but lots of coin. Gifted At Birth (giftedatbirth.com) sends you everything you need to take care of baby every week, for three months after the baby is born.
They’ll even help you choose the right items for your lifestyle (green, idiot-proof….). All this for the low low starter price of only $124. If you live in Manhattan, a postpartum doula wiil come to you to explain how everything works, including the baby. Outside the diamond-studded boundaries of NYC, however, it will be a burly UPS

Wirral to Llandudno Run
Tuesday, 21 February 2012 00:00
The 2012 Wirral to Llandudno Run on Sunday 15 January started off cold and frosty but, fortunately, stayed dry all day, with clear blue skies greeting the Minis on arrival at Llandudno. A fantastic turnout of 117 cars braved the cold, coming from as far away as Cornwall and Bristol. The Minis attracted a large crowd on Llandudno Prom and were enjoyed by all ages. Well done to Wirral Minis for another great event. See www.wirralminis.com.

BRSCC Mighty Minis Championship
Tuesday, 21 February 2012 00:00
Thomas Moseley is 20 years old and a Mini enthusiast from Yorkshire. Currently at college, and working part time at Halfords, he spends all his spare time and money on his Mini racing car. Thomas will be competing in this year’s BRSCC Mighty Minis championship.He has Minis in his blood, as his great grandfather owned a very special Mini. In 1965 the millionth Mini came off of the production line at Longbridge. A draw took place where it was won by a BMC employee. However, the very next Mini made was won by BMC customer, Alfred Benton, Thomas’ great grandfather. You can see this Mini at www.britishpathe.com/video/millionth-mini. Keep up with Thomas’ progress at www.thomasmoseleymightyminis.blogspot.com or check out his sponsor’s website at www.blog.minisport.com.

Book Alert / The Infernal Machine -- A History of Terrorism
The Infernal Machine -- A History of Terrorism from the Assassination of Tsar Alexander II to Al-Qaeda, The New Press '07, $26.95, 410 pages, ISBN #978-1-59558-179-2. Index, selected bibliography, notes, unillustrated.
Conventional wisdom has it that international terrorism is biggest enemy of peace today. But when attempting to define terrorism, forget the stereotype of a masked bomber. In Lebanon, for instance, Hezbollah is a recognized political party whose members have been elected to the Lebanese Parliament in a free and open election, yet such world powers as the United States and Britain label it as a terrorist organization.
Carr, a British journalist and broadcaster, ranges back in time to the 1880s to profile the history of terrorism. Included in this narrative sweep are the attack by Russian revolutionaries upon Tsar Alexander II in St. Petersburg, the African vengeance of the Mau Maus, the Palestine Liberation Organization, Basque separatists and Ireland's IRA.
Rather than merely hanging labels around the necks of one's political enemies,  Carr believes it's more useful to examine the root causes of terrorism. "The present eruption of Islamist violence is perhaps a symptom of an imbalance of power," he says, "and the consequence of decades of manipulation, deceit and hypocrisy in Western foreign policy towards the Arab world." This is a work unlikely to show up on George W. Bush's reading list.

READER QUESTION
I want to refinance our first mortgage, but the second mortgage holder won't subordinate. What can we do?
Read full question
We found a company that will refinance our first, but the second lien holder will not subordinate without a full appraisal. We have already paid them $150 and they won't return it even though they didn't do the subordination. What department within the second mortgage company would we write to request a loan rate reduction? If they refuse to reduce the interest rate, what other recourse would we have? Can we offer a settlement of 10 cents on the dollar? I noticed several other people in your comments have been able to do this. We live in Colorado.

BILL'S ANSWER
As part of its efforts to stimulate the US economy, the Federal Reserve has lowered interest rates to record low levels in 2008 and 2009, which in part has allowed banks to offer some attractive rates to homeowners wishing to take out a new mortgage or refinance an existing loan.
Refinancing when the loan balances exceed the property value
Although many current homeowners would like to refinance their home loans to take advantage of the low interest rates, the downturn in property values has resulted in many owing second mortgages or home equity loans that push their total current financing perilously close to, if not over, the actual values of their homes. In this situation, a refinance lender is unlikely to loan the homeowner enough money to combine the first and second mortgages into a single obligation, as the lender does not want to extend a loan that exceeds the value of the property securing debt.
The refi lender may be willing to refinance the first mortgage, but only if the lender holding the second mortgage or home equity loan is willing to give the refi lender's encumbrance on the property seniority over the second mortgage.
Allow me to travel on a momentary tangent regarding legal terminology. In Colorado, California, Texas and 18 other states the "mortgage" is actually a "deed of trust." Legally, the two are different, but a comparison of the two exceeds the scope of this discussion. Although it is inaccurate technically to call a Colorado home loan a mortgage, we will continue to refer to the first and second loan on the property here a mortgage because that is expected and understood by our non-property lawyer readers.
Subordination
Getting back to the subordination issue, without such an agreement, the second mortgage, as the older debt, would become the senior encumbrance on the property once the refi lender pays off the first mortgage as part of the refinance.
Unfortunately, unless you have a significant equity cushion, the bank holding your second mortgage loan is likely to refuse to agree to subordinate its encumbrance, especially if you are planning to "cash out" any of your equity by borrowing more from the refi lender than you currently owe on the first mortgage.
The secondary lender's position is already relatively weak in terms of its ability to enforce its security interest in the home, since it would be required to either pay off or otherwise receive the first mortgage lender's consent to proceed with foreclosure. Given its already tenuous ability to force repayment, the secondary lender is unlikely to agree to subordination to a "cash out" refi loan, which would eat up the small amount of equity to which it may be able to lay claim in case of default.
On the other hand, if you can show the second mortgage holder that the refi loan will actually reduce the risk of default on your home loans by reducing your total mortgage payments each month, you may find the secondary lender more willing to cooperate with you and the bank providing the refinance loan.
Consult with the agent handling your potential refinance loan, as well as any other mortgage professionals you know, to discuss the best way to present your plan to the second mortgage lender. The key is making the lender believe that the refinance loan and required subordination will ultimately serve its interests.
Appraisal by second mortgage company
In your question, you state that your second mortgage company has requested a full appraisal of your property before it will consider agreeing to subjugate its encumbrance to that of the company through which you are trying to refinance your first mortgage.
First, you should understand that demanding a complete appraisal of the home's value is not unusual. The second mortgage company wants to determine how much equity you currently have in the property (the more equity, the more likely junior encumbrances will be paid in case of foreclosure), and how the proposed refinance loan will affect this equity cushion. It will also want to determine if you are "upside-down" on the property (you owe more that the home is worth), as being in this position significantly increases the possibility that you will default on one or all of your mortgage obligations.
Here, it sounds like the lender has refused to subordinate, and refused to refund the appraisal fee paid. Unfortunately, I do not think that you have much recourse in this regard, as appraisal fees are usually non-refundable.
However, if you think that you were mislead by the lender, you may want to contact the Colorado Dept. of Real Estate and the Colorado Attorney General's Office to file complaints against the lender. While these agencies cannot guarantee you a favorable outcome, they are often successful in mediating disputes between consumers and businesses.
Loan modification
You are correct in pointing out that a Bills.com reader reported that a second mortgage holder made a lump-sum settlement with a homeowner for 10 cents on the dollar. Keep in mind that there are dozens of companies making second mortgage loans, and hundreds of thousands of second mortgages under contract. Your lender may not offer such attractive settlement terms.
As for what department at the second mortgage company you need to contact to discuss the possible modification of your loan terms (payment amount, interest rate, loan term, etc.), you should probably start by contacting the general customer service department. They may help you directly, but a good CS agent should be able to point you to the correct department (probably named something like "loss mitigation," though this will depend on your specific lender).
To read more about refinance loans, I invite you to visit the Bills.com home refinance page. I wish you the best of luck in your efforts to refinance your current mortgage loans, and hope that the information I have provided helps you Find. Learn. Save.
Best,
Bill

I have run into the situation whereby my Home Equity Lender will not re-subordinate and accomodate my refinance.
In this case my refinance will be a lower loan amount, a lower monthly payment and will convert an interest only loan to an amortizing loan.
I have also expressed the ability to slightly reduce my Home Equity Line.
The appraised value of the combined loans will be 80% and the original home equity loan was made at 86%.
Have you heard of anything so absurd?
Do you know of anyone attorney's taking on law suits in this instance.
Obvious damages would be lost equity of the term and the lossed opportunity to reduce monthly payments.

Here we go!
From Brad Schweers:
Candler School of Theology has just wrapped up New Student Orientation week for our 174 incoming Master of Divinity (MDiv), Master of Theolgical Studies (MTS), Master of Theology (ThM), and Doctor of Theology (ThD) students. We are completely moved into our new home at 1531 Dickey Drive. The Theology and Ethics building is a five-story, LEED-certified green building with fantastic natural light, spacious offices and classrooms, and all of the latest technology. The Theology building is over twice the size of the old Bishops Hall, and yet uses less electrical power! Woohoo!!!
Here are some highlights of the week:
MondayStudents checked in for pre-orientation, taking care of IDs and parking passes, configuring laptops, and tidying up financial aid matters. Some thoughts and themes heard as people anticipate starting seminary include: excited, anxious and excited, wondering how classes are going to be after being out of school for ten years, nervous, happy to be in Atlanta, looking forward to classes starting, and not feeling
ready for the summer to be over.
TuesdayThM and MTS students spent Tuesday around campus, meeting with Dr. Steve Kraftchick and their advisors, touring the Candler and Emory campuses and libraries, and finished up with night swimming and dinner at Drs. Medi Volpe and Lewis Ayres‘ house. No doubt St. Augustine was on the menu.
WednesdayMDiv students were on campus for orientation. Chapel service was led by Rev. Dr. Joel LeMon, Asstistant Professor of Old Testament. The Scripture text was from Psalm 119–a 176-verse acrostic poem and the longest chapter in the Bible–and Dr. Lemon had the entire chapel chanting the Hebrew alphabet from Aleph to Tav while exploring the He verses (33-40) which emphasize God’s movement in our lives. (A side note: I sat in the west balcony of Cannon Chapel, where I have sat many times before, but for the first time noticed the similarities between Paul Rudolph‘s square design (see right, view from the west balcony) and the design of the Frank Lloyd Wright‘s Unity Temple (below, view from east balcony) in Oak Park, IL. Both have wonderful natural light filling the worship spaces from above, seating in-the-round, long vertical elements, and a great square pillar of space in the center. Wright’s Temple is more symetrical, orderly, and rectilinear while Rudolph’s Chapel is flowing, raw, and spiraling–both are great and unique spaces.
ThursdayMDiv students heard about the new curriculum from Dr. Gail O’Day and other faculty members. Worship was led by Rev. Dr. Teresa Fry Brown. Her sermon was about newness–the theme for Candler these days!!–and new Candler Assistant Professor of Theology and Culture Andrea White lent her musical talents on the violin. Students met their advisors and visited their Contextual Education I sites.
FridayBooks are being bought in the bookstore and online, classes are being added and dropped, and, most importantly, new student get-togther parties have been planned on Facebook for the Labor Day weekend

In Vitro and In Vivo Inhibition of Human Fanconi Anemia Head and Neck Squamous Carcinoma by a Novel Nutrient Mixture
M.W. Roomi, N.W. Roomi, M. Rath and A. NiedzwieckiDr. Rath Research Institute, Cancer Division, Santa Clara, CA 95050
Presented at: 23rd Annual Fanconi Anemia Research Fund Scientific Symposium, Barcelona, Spain, October 20-23, 2011.
Published in: Proceedings of the 23rd Annual Fanconi Anemia Research Fund Scientific Symposium, page 139.
Abstract
Objective: Fanconi Anemia (FA), an autosomal recessive disease associated with chromosomal instability, is characterized by progressive bone marrow failure, birth defects and high propensity to develop malignancies.  Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and acute myeloid leukemia are the major causes of mortality and morbidity in FA patients. The objective of this study was to investigate the antineoplastic activity of NM, a novel antineoplastic nutrient mixture (containing lysine, proline, ascorbic acid and green tea extract) that demonstrates a broad spectrum of antitumor activity against a number of human cancer cell lines, on human FAHNSCC in vitro and in vivo.
Methods and Materials: Human FAHNSCC cell line OHSU-974 (Fanconi Anemia Research Fund, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, Oregon, USA) was cultured in RPMI medium supplemented with 20% FBS and antibiotics. At near confluence, cells were treated in triplicate with different concentrations of NM: 0, 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000 µg/ml. Cells were also treated with PMA to induce MMP-9 activity. Cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay, secretion of MMPs by gelatinase zymography, invasion through Matrigel and morphology by H&E staining. In vivo, athymic male nude mice (n=12) were inoculated with 3x106 OHSU-974 cells subcutaneously and randomly divided into two groups: group A was fed a regular diet and group B a regular diet supplemented with 1% NM. Four weeks later, the mice were sacrificed and their tumors were excised, weighed and processed for histology.
Results: NM inhibited the growth of OHSU-974 tumor by 48% and tumor burden by 50%. At lower concentrations, NM demonstrated no effect on proliferation, but at 1000 µg/ml showed 40% toxicity. Zymography revealed MMP-2 and PMA-induced MMP-9 secretion. NM suppressed secretion of both MMPs in a dose-dependent manner, with virtual inhibition at 500 µg/ml. NM inhibited OHSU-974 invasion through Matrigel in a dose-dependent fashion with total block at 1000 µg/ml. H&E staining showed no morphological changes below 500 µg/ml.
Conclusions:The results suggest that NM has potential therapeutic use in the treatment of human FA HNSCC.
Comment
Current treatment methods for Fanconi Anemia-associated cancers are generally ineffective. Thus, there is a need for development of effective therapeutic agents for these cancers with minimal toxicity. Our studies demonstrated that NM significantly inhibited the growth and tumor burden of FA HNSCC cell line OHSU-974 in vivo. In addition, invasive parameters, such as OHSU-974 cell line MMP-2 and -9 secretion and invasion were significantly inhibited by NM in vitro. These findings suggest potential of NM

After a National Championship game for the ages, and a Final Four utterly
dominated by Kansas & Memphis, it is no shock that CHN’s All-Final Four team is
all Jayhawks and Tigers.
MOP: Mario Chalmers, Kansas
Final Four Averages: 14.5ppg, 3.5rpg, 3.0apg, 3.5spg
Chalmers truly was Super Mario in the championship game versus Memphis.  By now
the whole world has heard and seen his last second three-pointer to tie the game
in regulation, but he excelled in other aspects of the game also.  Always a
tough defender, he was a thorn in Memphis’ side as they tried to run their
offense and picked off four balls.  Plus Memphis’ ultimate Achilles Heal was
Chalmers strong suit this game – he was 6-6 from the charity stripe.
MOP Runner Up: Darrell Arthur, Kansas
Final Four Averages: 13.0ppg, 9.5rpg, 2.0bpg
Arthur quietly had an excellent championship game also.  He was his usual
exceptional self down low, providing scoring and rebounding (including five on
the offensive end), and also knocked down some face up jumpers.  Plus he didn’t
miss a free throw (2-2).
All Final Four Team:
Guard: Mario Chalmers, Kansas
Guard: Brandon Rush, Kansas
Final Four Averages: 18.5ppg, 6.5rpg, 16/26 FG
Rush scorched UNC to get the Jayhawks into the final.  Against Memphis he had a
very solid 12 points and six boards.  NBA, here he comes (finally).
Guard: Derrick Rose, Memphis
Final Four Averages: 21.5ppg, 7.5rpg, 6.0apg
Rose’s explosive NCAA tournament performance has shown why he, and not Michael Beasley, is the top prospect of this year’s NBA draft.
Guard: Chris Douglas-Roberts, Memphis
Final Four Averages: 25.0ppg, 2.5rpg, 15/20 FT
His inability to hit clutch free throws kept Memphis from winning its first
men’s hoops national championship and also kept Douglas-Roberts from being CHN’s
Final Four MOP.  Pretty sure the first one hurts more than the second.
Forward: Darrell Arthur, Kansas

Volume 17.1, Fall 1992
Isaac Asimov was one of the great explainers of the age. Like TH Huxley, he was motivated by profoundly democratic impulses to communicate science to the public. “Science is too important,” he said, paraphrasing Clemenceau, “to be left to the scientists.” It will never be known how many practicing scientists today, in how many countries, owe their initial inspiration to a book, article, or short story by Isaac Asimov—nor how many ordinary citizens are sympathetic to the scientific enterprise from the same cause. For example, Marvin Minsky of MIT, one of the pioneers of artificial intelligence, was brought to his subject by Asimov's robot stories (initially conceived to illustrate human/robot partnerships and to counter the prevailing notion, going back to Frankenstein, of robots as necessarily malign). At a time when science fiction was mainly devoted to action and adventure, Asimov introduced puzzle-solving schemes that taught science and thinking along the way.
A number of his phrases and ideas have insinuated themselves into the culture of science—for example, his spare description of the solar system as “four planets plus debris” and his notion of one day carrying icebergs from the rings of Saturn to the arid wastelands of Mars. He wrote many science books for young people, and as editor of his own science-fiction magazine he made efforts to encourage young writers.
His output was prodigious, approaching 500 volumes, always in his characteristic straightforward, plain-speaking syntax. Part of the reason his Foundation series on the decline of a galactic empire worked so well is that it was based on a close reading of Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire: A principal theme was the effort to keep science alive as the Dark Ages rolled in.
Asimov spoke out in favor of science and reason and against pseudoscience and superstition. He was not afraid to criticize the US government and was deeply committed to stabilizing world population growth.
The microscopic probe he described in his novel Fantastic Voyage—which could enter the human bloodstream and repair tissue damage—was, sadly, not yet available at the time of his death. As someone born in grinding poverty, and with a lifelong passion to write and explain, Asimov by his own standards led a successful and happy life. In one of his last books he wrote: “My life has just about run its course and I don't really expect to live much longer.” However, he went on, his love for his wife, the psychiatrist Janet Jeppson, and hers for him, sustained him. “It's been a good life, and I am satisfied with it. So please don't worry about me.”
I don't. Instead, I worry about the rest of us, with no Isaac Asimov around to inspire the young to learning and to science.

Carl Sagan was a science popularizer, co-creator and host of Cosmos, and author or co-author of many books including The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark.

Michigan Boating Industries Association President Van Snider Retires
Published Friday, December 10, 2010 7:00 amby Michigan Boating Industries AssociationLivonia, Mich.,- Van W. Snider, Jr., CAE, retired November 30, 2010 from his Chief Staff Executive position with the Michigan Boating Industries Association (MBIA) with more than 20 years as the Association's President.
Snider joined MBIA in August, 1990 after serving approximately eight years as the Executive Director of the Marine Industries Association of South Florida (MIASF).
Prior to his 28 years of management of two major marine trade associations, Snider managed a boat dealership and marina in Ohio prior to moving to Florida.
Before assuming management of MIASF, he sold yachts as a yacht broker, managing a boat dealership as well as a marina.
After receiving his BBA degree from Ohio University in 1968, Snider was commissioned in the US Army and served as an Armor Officer on Okinawa, Japan.
While in Florida, Snider received his M.B.A. degree from Novi Southeastern University, Ft. Lauderdale-Davie, Florida and was certified as a Certified Association Executive (CAE) from the American Society of Association Executives which he has maintained.
During his tenure at MBIA, the association expanded member benefits and increased the number of boat shows produced by the statewide association from one show to three which include the Detroit Boat Show, Spring Boating Expo in Novi, Mich., and the Boating & Outdoor Festival in Harrison Township, Mich.
Snider has been recognized for his leadership and accomplishments from several organizations.
He is an Honorary Alumni of Michigan State University; received the Michigan Society of Association's (MSAE) Strategic Leader Award and recently was inducted into the MSAE Hall of Fame, and was also inducted into the MBIA Hall of Fame on December 2, at theRecreational Boating Educational Conference in Midland, Mich. In addition, Michigan Sea Grant created an award given to him to recognize his collaborative efforts with Sea Grant which now is called the "Van Snider Award."
Snider plans to stay in Michigan

Learning from Christopher Hitchens: Lessons Evangelicals Must Not Miss
Wednesday, January 11, 2012
The death of Christopher Hitchens on December 15 was not unexpected, and that seemed only to add to the tragedy.  His fight against cancer had been lived, like almost every other aspect of his colorful life, in full public view. He had told numerous interviewers that he wanted to die in an active, not a passive sense. Then again, there may never have been a truly passive moment in Christopher Hitchens’ life.

President Obama and Same-Sex Marriage — The Dance Continues
Thursday, January 5, 2012
Some predictions are rather safe to make. 2012 is almost certain to be a determinative year on the issue of same-sex marriage. Multiple courts appear poised to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act DOMA and, even more urgently, the appeal on California’s Proposition 8 at the Ninth Circuit US Court of Appeals will set up a certain appeal to the US Supreme Court. Given the facts of this case and the significance of the nation’s most populous state, the Supreme Court


MTU-VP - Cerro Negro GVN
Smithsonian Institution
Bulletin of the Global Volcanism Network, v. 20, no. 11/12, November-December 1995
Cerro Negro (Nicaragua)
Vigorous eruption produces a new cone,
dome, lava flows, and large ash plumes
Cerro Negro
Nicaragua
12.51 N, 86.70 W; summit elev. 675 m
All times are local (=3D GMT - 6 hours)
A significant eruption in November-December followed almost six
months of unrest and minor eruptive activity (Bulletin v. 20, nos.
5 & 9). During a crater visit on 13 November no precursors were
observed, and on 18 November only background seismicity was
recorded by the CNGN station (500 m E of the crater).
Early phase of activity, 19-22 November. Local residents first
noticed explosions about the time of the onset of 30 minutes of
mildly increasing seismicity detected by the CNGN station at 1145
on 19 November. Following a pause, seismicity continued to gain
strength. Increasing activity was reported that afternoon by
residents in Malpaisillo (~10 km N). Observations on the night of
19-20 November indicated mild Strombolian activity, with vertically
directed ejecta, that was gradually increasing in strength. A
Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) was issued the next day warning aviators
of the volcanic activity.
Eruption tremor amplitude increased continuously and saturated the
CNGN station (60 dB gain) at 0200 on the 21st. Tremor was detected
on short-period seismic stations within a 30 km radius (at San
Cristobal and Momotombo volcanoes, and near the city of Leon).
Energy release increased continuously and tremor could be felt over
1 km away, when sitting down, as a smooth rocking motion.
At 2000 on 21 November incandescent bombs were being thrown up to
300-400 m above the 1992 crater rim. Ash content was low compared
with the 1992 and May-August 1995 activity, and bombs were often
very large (meters across), which deformed and broke up in flight.
Because of near-vertical trajectories, few bombs fell outside the
crater. The new cone being built within the 1992 crater (figure 1)
had a steep (>45 degrees) basal scarp, 2-5 m high, followed by a
level bench and then a less steep slope (25 degrees) to its crater.
Ejecta pulses maintained a frequency of 20/minute, but the size and
duration of each pulse varied. From 0255 to 0310 on 22 November
ejecta heights were <150 m but ash content and degassing were much
higher, emitting dark clouds with each explosion. A thick, white
lower plume appeared to be escaping from a new lava dome in the
1992 crater, 50 m W of the new cone (figure 1). By 0500 the
eruption had regained previous intensity levels and exhibited
near-constant fire-fountain-like activity, bombs were larger, and
pulse frequency increased to 22/minute. The eruption continued at
this level for over 4 hours.
The new cone had almost reached the lip of the 1992 crater by 0700
on 22 November. At that time the lava dome emitted a small lava
flow, 2-5 m wide and 50 m long, that followed the edge of the new
cone towards the lowest part of the 1992 crater (figure 2). From
0930 to 1000 a series of explosions ejected material to the lower
slopes of the new cone. Sand to gravel size ash fell W of the cone,
but no large ejecta. Compared to the 1992 ejecta this material is
highly vesicular with millimeter-size vesicles; olivine, pyroxene,
and plagioclase are present, and some plagioclase crystals are 1 cm
long. That evening the new cone overgrew the N rim of the 1992
crater and material began spilling towards Cerro La Mula. From 1900
to 2300 a tongue of lava spilled over the N rim of the 1992 crater.
The front moved at <1 m/hour, but blocks constantly tumbled from
the front down to the base of the main cone.
Lava flows beyond the crater, 23 November. After 1400 on 23
November dark gray pulses observed from 25 km away formed a plume
that rose faster and higher than on previous days, attaining
several kilometers altitude. Observations were made from the
seismic station after 1500. During about 1515-1525 the plume became
less ash-rich, ejecta became less frequent, and strong degassing
pulses were heard. When regular pulses resumed, some bombs were
ejected laterally onto the flanks of the main cone. Periodic heavy
falls of 1-3 cm scoria were encountered by the scientists walking
under the plume 1.5 km from the cone. Red glow was visible at 1730
over Cerro La Mula, and there was a smell of burning vegetation,
suggesting an active lava flow. The lava tongue was observed at
1800 between Cerro La Mula and Cerro Negro (figure 2). Later named
the La Mula flow, it was ~20 m wide and 5 m thick, and advancing at
~2 m/hour.
At 1830 a 20-m-wide lava stream moved down the N flank through a
small breach at a rate of ~150 m/minute from the crater rim to the
base of the cone. A lava field spreading out from the base of the
cone had reached ~1 km from the crater by 2000, advancing 10-30
m/hour along two 300-m-wide fronts (figure 2). To the E of the flow
the volcano flank appeared to be bulging and was irregular with
large blocks jutting out that occasionally fell downslope,
revealing incandescent lava. It appeared to the scientists that a
slow-moving 20-m-thick blocky lava flow was moving to the crater
rim and collapsing down the flank; however, the shape of the flank
also suggested outward bulging. The blocky lava extended at least
200 m NE from the base of the cone.
Continuous and voluminous pulses at 2000 created a fountain that
sent bombs at least 600 m above the crater. Ash clouds accompanied
each pulse and occasional flames of burning gas reached 100-200 m
above the crater. This activity had decreased by 2045, and by 2115
pulses of bombs appeared only every 30 seconds, although continual
noise suggested smaller pulses.
Of the four GPS stations set up in the vicinity of the cone, by 23
November one had been destroyed by lava and another was too
dangerous to approach. Measurements at the remaining stations were
within the error of the equipment (2 cm at best). However, two
fresh fault scarps radial to the cone were observed on the W side
with 5 cm of displacement. Tremor energy increased continuously
until 1200 on 23 November, after which it maintained a constant
level.
Continuing activity, 25-26 November. The eruption plume was again
clearly visible on 25 November from Managua as a diffuse gray
column turning horizontal at ~2,000 m. At 0900 distinct pulses of
dark gray ash rose from the crater and formed mushroom shapes
before drifting W and being incorporated into the plume; ashfall
was reported in Leon and Corinto. At times only massive bombs were
thrown out, while at others strong explosions sent up dense ash
clouds. Ash and highly vesicular scoria <5 cm in size fell
continuously on the W base of the cone. Pulses of ash and bombs had
a frequency of 20/minute, a characteristic periodicity in this
eruption. Pulses were strong enough to maintain a constant fountain
of bombs as high as 600 m, some of which were large and visibly red
5 km away; explosions were audible at this distance.
At 1100 on 25 November most bombs were still ejected vertically,
but a significant number were exiting at low angles and falling low
on the flanks. The new cone had grown to ~40 m across, and its top
was ~30-50 m below the 1992 crater summit. Bombs fell mostly on the
cone and rolled down to the base. The small breach where the 23
November lava flow exited was partly covered by a new blocky flow,
which appeared to come straight N from the new cone, though no exit
vent was visible. It may have been produced by accumulated, still
liquid ejecta beginning to flow outwards, as seen on 22 November.
The flow had advanced half way down the flank, covering another
blocky flow. The dome in the crater had grown to ~100 m wide and 40
m high. Blocks were continually spalling off the dome, which also
sustained a continuous rain of bombs from the new cone. Multiple
small lava tongues originated from the dome. The crater dome was
less pronounced on 26 November, and was blocky rather than spiny.
The new cone had grown ~10 m overnight.
The two flows moving N on the 23rd had reached ~1-1.5 km from the
volcano. The larger W lobe was ~400 m wide and 3-5 m thick at the
front with a small lobe extending down the gully below Cerro La
Mula, and another extending E into a depression in the old N lava
field. The E lobe had extended into forest at the E side of the old
N lava field. Over a three-hour period the flows advanced ~12 m. A
low ash-covered area with a small old cinder cone separated the
lobes. The sides of each flow were slowly (~1 m/hour) encroaching
on this and thickening. The thick lava lobes below the dome were
advancing, and many areas of the dome were glowing. The ~30-m-wide
La Mula lava flow had advanced W ~500 m down a small valley and was
moving at ~1 m/hour on 25 November; by 0600 on the 26th it had
stopped. By 0645 the other lava fronts had advanced 20-50 m since
the previous evening. The main W lobe had spread E and a large
block in the middle of the flow had moved ~100 m.
Seismic tremor levels remained high through 26 November. Tremor was
continuous and distinctly felt up to 1.5 km from the cone.
Satellite observations of the ash plume. Visible satellite imagery
on 25 November indicated a possible low-level ash cloud at 1245
(figure 3). The height of the plume was estimated at 4,500 m
altitude and was moving SW at ~30 km/hour. Another small low-level
plume was seen on imagery at 0815 the next day at an estimated
2,750 m altitude and moving WSW at ~35 km/hour. Explosive activity
increased on 1 December, when visible imagery at 1230 revealed a
plume 18 km wide extending ~320 km W; it was estimated to be
between 3,000 and 6,000 m altitude. By 0900 on 2 December, the
plume extended at least 640 km W and was below 4,000 m.
End of the eruption, early December. Explosive and effusive
activity ended on 6 December. However, a lava flow was still moving
N on 8 December. Isopach maps of the ashfall through 2 December
(figure 4) were constructed by Markus Kesseler based on 85 GPS
control points (precision +- 30 m). The 0.1 cm isopach encloses an
area of ~200 km^2. An estimated 12,000 people were affected by this
eruption, about 6,000 of whom had been evacuated from 15 rural
communities. Farmland was significantly damaged by ashfall and lava
flows during the harvesting season; most of those affected were
farmers and their families.

John Entwistle - So Who's the Bass Player; The Ox Anthology CD review
Entwistle anthology misses the point
John Entwistle - So Who's the Bass Player; The Ox Anthology
(Sanctuary Records)
2 1/2 stars (out of 5 stars)
Reviewed: May 6, 2005
Review by Paul Provenzano
Webster defines an anthology as "any collection of selected works." For John Entwistle's So Who's the Bass Player; The Ox Anthology,
I guess my problem is with who's doing the selecting.
This two-disc compilation of the late Who bass player Entwistle's solo career is chronologically arranged, starting with the heavy first album, Smash Your Head Against the Wall. It finishes with some live performances and, of all things, music from a failed cartoon series "Van-pires." While many of the studio songs from the first three or four albums are what Entwistle was all about, many of the later offerings are the bass player's best Who songs, but unfortunately not with The Who performing them.
Entwistle often complained in the '70s that The Who weren't rocking hard enough in their studio work. Ironically except for a couple of songs on Smash You Head ..., and his second album Whistle Rymes, most of his solo work was much tamer musically than Pete Townshend was delivering. Compare "Heaven and Hell" from the anthology to The Who's version on the B-side of the "Summertime Blues' single. Puzzling was also the absence of memorable bass lines in any studio work. You have to go to the live versions on Who songs in the anthology to find any examples of Entwistle's virtuosity as a bass player. In my opinion, he is one of the finest four-string (OK fans, also eight-string) thumpers ever to strap on a Thunderbird. Yet his solo work is dominated primarily by keyboards. Being an accomplished French Horn player, though, did promote the use of brass throughout the early albums. A great example is "I Wonder," with Entwistle (and his carpenter on trombone!) blasting through kicking horn lines.
The anthology's first CD takes us through the four initial albums, with a couple live tracks from 1975. This where you can hear the dark humor that was Entwistle's song writing niche. His black humor comes through on songs like "Made in Japan," with lines such as, " I didn't buy the car so I decided to get married instead."
The great " I Wonder," pondering childlike with "I wonder what would happen if my fish could fly, would he leap from the tank and hit the cat in the eye?" but finishing Entwistle style, "Out through the window into the sky, I'm so glad sharks can't fly."
Entwistle's dark wit can be found in most of his early solo works, e.g. "Pick Me Up (Big Chicken)" a song about being barely conscious drunk, "Who Cares" extolling the virtues of being a slacker, or "Thinking It Over" about a suicidal husband deciding if unfaithfulness is worth killing oneself over, while worrying about wasting the police's time. You need to listen closely to Entwistle's songs. And then we have "Peg Leg Peggy," an appendage challenged girlfriend described "when it comes to dancing she's the queen, she sounds just like a sewing machine." The Ox was never politically correct, unless there was a funny song in being so.
The second disc is where I have the most problems with the anthology. While I may have chosen a couple different songs from the first four albums (big error leaving "Big Black Cadillac" out), the bulk of the second CD are either live performances or obscure material. What was the reasoning behind including four songs from a 1975 sci-fi album called Flash Fearless Vs. the Zorg Women Parts 5 & 6? Three of the songs only contain Entwistle on bass, and the other "To the Chop" on which he does sing. Entwistle did not write any of that material. I would have preferred his "Gimme That Rock 'n' Roll" from Rigor Mortis
instead. The three best songs from his last real studio solo release Too Late the Hero are represented, the best being "Talk Dirty To Me". Following that are a couple songs from an attempted project called The Rock. This is around the time Entwistle stopped singing his songs. It became very noticeable in the eighties his distinctive nasal tone was failing him. While "Love Doesn't Last" isn't a bad song, it would have been much better with John performing the vocals. Henry Small, who does sing the two songs from The Rock, is a bit too much over the top for my tastes. After The Rock
songs, we get four live Who songs performed in 1988 by The John Entwistle Band. Here is where you get to hear some of the Ox's best bass fingering.
"Thunderfingers" as some called him, shines on Townshend's "The Real Me". Concluding the anthology is set of songs recorded at various times over an almost twenty year period starting in 1978. They were released for an American TV cartoon series called Van-pires. While the songs are OK, they are really nothing more than a curiosity.
This brings us to the question, to what purpose does this anthology serve? If you want a best of, this isn't it. A good portion of these songs are just here to represent certain times in the timeline. Is it a sampler? The best songs are off of the first three albums, of which 52% of those albums are represented. You would be better off just buying those three. If you're a die hard Entwistle fan, you've already got this stuff, probably in vinyl and CD
