Home Bible & Theology What Bible Did Jesus Use?
What Bible did Jesus use? In the first century, the Jews and the early Christian communities would have likely used individual scrolls of the Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament. Listen in on Dr. Bill Arnold and Dr. Ben Witherington III as they explain more about the nature and function of the Old Testament Bible in the first century.
Here is a premise not mentioned — with some questions. Would either of these gentlemen care to answer these. When new Christians grew out of Judaism, i.e. the apostles, disciples of Jesus and Paul, they did not have Bibles per se to take with them to hold worship services. The written "scriptures" as the apostles and Jesus mentioned were in those scrolls left in the Hewish synagogues and the Jewish temple. Over time and several journeys throughout the Roman Empire at the time, God's Word (the scriptures plus the written gospels and the written letters) were carried by these new Christians to new converts to this new religion soon to be called Christianity. How? In what manner? if in fact the scrolls were kept tightly secured in Jewish buildings and guarded by Jews who opposed Christianity? The letters we can understand. They were hand-written and hand copied and distributed by followers of the apostles. But many of the recipients (old churches) of these letters and whatever else are gone now. Was it up to the very young Roman Catholic church to be smuggling old scrolls, gospels written by Mark and Luke and Matthew and John , and letters by Paul, Peter, James, Jude and others out of old churches and synagogues so they and their monks can go about organizing the early Bible, the canon, as we come to know it? Or did the church universal sit down one day and started writing a written Bible from the oral teachings handed down over those generations leading to the canon?

Outspoken lawyer Andrew Sparrow is to quit Birmingham for London.
A thorn in the flesh of many Birmingham's politicians and business leaders for almost two decades, he is leaving, he says, for largely professional reasons - much of his work is now in the capital.
Yesterday he denied he was going because his influence had been marginalised in recent years.
"I am not bitter - just disappointed," said Mr Sparrow.
But his has for some while been a somewhat lonely existence, kept out of the loop and taking potshots from outside.
He should have become chairman of Birmingham Forward, the professional sector lobbying body, but he was squeezed out after mounting an attack on lack of leadership in the city - comments which council leader Mike Whitby took as a personal slight.
That Mr Sparrow was also a Labour Party activist didn't exactly help.
And the hurt is clearly quite raw for Mr Sparrow.
"The current leadership won't be there forever," he warned. "Yes, it was hard, but I still feel positive about Birmingham."
And, in what could be taken as a plea for others to step into his shoes as a scourge of the establishment, he stressed: "There needs to be strong characters in Birmingham."
Mr Sparrow, founder of niche new media law firm Lecote Solicitors, is linking up with London-based Rochman Landau Solicitors.
Rochman Landau is a commercial law specialist, and whilst Lecote - now five years old - will be wholly integrated into the firm, the practice will remain independent.
He will start there at the end of October, commuting to London initially. Mr Sparrow said Rochman Landau was one of a number of London firms that had invited him to join in recent years.
"Joining forces with Rochman Landau represents the right opportunity to further develop my practice and continue to pioneer new media and internet law, although it is with a heavy heart that I leave Birmingham, where I have spent my entire professional career as a lawyer."
During his spell in Birmingham, the high profile campaigner devoted a huge amount of time to helping promote and develop the city - he claims to have attended more than 3,500 business networking events and at one time was almost a fixture in the Post People pages of The Birmingham Post.
He was chairman of Birmingham Press Club for six years, chairman of the Birmingham Business Breakfast Club for nine years, a director of Birmingham Forward for six years and one of the main drivers in setting up Birmingham Professional DiverCity, where he has been a director for five years.
He said: "I have always felt deeply about the need to address ethnic diversity issues in the city's professional community, and feel proud to be associated with this initiative, which is a national first."


Re the OST...I was listening to it all yesterday and Joby Talbot is a genius. ''While there's still time'' is so beautiful and I love the full orchestra version though I find the singing on the 'Stripped down theme' a bit odd- I prefer the original! I have had the music from 'The Kings Evil' bits stuck in my head all day. I would also dearly love a soundtrack to the TV shows.
I find the singing on the 'Stripped down theme' a bit odd- I prefer the original!


Whether your goal is competition, trail riding or simply being a more relaxed and effective horseperson, I am available to help riders and horses understand each other better. I enjoy working with all horses and my special interest is off track horses.
I am a USEA ICP-certified riding instructor and teach primarily at my private facility in Cambridge, Iowa. Many riders trailer in to the facility for lessons.
We have an indoor riding arena and a schooling cross country course on site, and another two available to us nearby. We have hundreds of acres of land to ride and live adjacent to the Heart of Iowa Trail, a miles-long, shared-use grassy trail. I take special interest in training horses. I take one external horse in training at a time and keep training blogs for each ride.
I have a regular group riding lesson on Thursday nights at 6:00 at Field Day where we enjoy or time working on dressage, showjumping or cross country skills, depending on the season and the needs of the group. I travel to teach at Irish Run Farms in Des Moines on most Friday mornings and to Hickory Grove in Madrid on Monday evenings. I also teach clinics throughout the Midwest. You can contact me to schedule lessons, training or clinics. Email or by cell 515-231-9875.
If you are looking to buy a horse and would like a professional opinion or some help along the way, I am available for consulting. If you are looking to sell a horse, I occasionally have people looking. Both services are available for a reasonable fee.
I foxhunt with the North Hills Hunt in the autumn and winter months. If you are interested in foxhunting I can help you learn the skills you need to be successful and relaxed in the hunt field, and even ride with you in the hunt field.

It may be obvious that Corn Flakes and Frosted Flakes are both made by Kellogg's, but did you know that Hot Pockets and L'Oreal share a parent company in Nestle?
A ginormous number of brands are controlled by just 10 multinationals, according to this amazing infographic from French blog Convergence Alimentaire.
CORRECTION: A previous version of this post misidentified General Mills as the parent company of Corn Flakes and Frosted Flakes.
Reebok: Created in 1956, this brand chose its name after one of the fastest of the 26 subspecies of antelope, the rhebok, which lives in South Africa.
Haagen-Dazs: This American brand was created by two Polish New Yorkers, Ruben and Rose Mattus. Adobe: The name corresponds to the Adobe Creek which flows not far from the house of John Warnock, the founder of the company, in California. HP: We knew that the name of this brand came from its founders, Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard. The "I'm Lovin' It" slogan is one of McDonalds' most popular and long standing advertising straplines. Much like its Fast Food rival, KFC's long standing advert slogan reflects the company's values. A lunch box favourite of kids (and Superdreamers!), the iconic Kit Kat slogan is one that has stood the test of time. Tony the Tiger has been the Frosties mascot since the very beginning, and he is famous for uttering the elongated catchphrase "They're Gr-r-r-reat!".
Introduced in 2009, the "What's the Worst That Could Happen?" campaign was a great success for soft drink Dr Pepper. Cosmetic brands always have really memorable slogans and adverts, and Maybelline is no different.
In a move to unite its global operations, HSBC announced in 1999 that they would use one, universal logo. Energizer looks to be positioning itself as the leader in the long lasting battery market with their latest advert tagline. Audi's infamous slogan – roughly translated as "advancement through technology" – is another that has been recognised as one of the greats. Insurance company, Zurich, has cleverly used their tagline to tell audiences why they should be insured by them.
Apple is known for pushing the boundaries of technology, and always coming up with new and exciting ideas. Generic strategies were used initially in the early 1980s, and seem to be even more popular today. With a cost focus a firm aims at being the lowest cost producer in that niche or segment.
Sources of competitive advantage – are the products differentiated in any way, or are they the lowest cost producer in an industry? The low cost leader in any market gains competitive advantage from being able to many to produce at the lowest cost. Differentiated goods and services satisfy the needs of customers through a sustainable competitive advantage. The differentiating organization will incur additional costs in creating their competitive advantage. Marketing Teacher designs and delivers online marketing courses, training and resources for marketing learners, teachers and professionals. Spend any time in the world of automated marketing, and you're bound to come across the term enterprise marketing management. What really makes EMMPs so valuable is the way that they integrate these diverse marketing, sales, technological, creative, and procurement solutions in a single, centralized platform.
With an EMMP, a marketing team can execute multi-touch campaigns while its sales force updates collateral as its procurement department tracks shipments while its finance staff generates instant invoices … all on the same platform.
Here at our company, when clients come to us, they already know what it is they want to accomplish – higher conversion rates, a branded content management system, a dynamic marketing campaign, etc. EarthIntegrateEarthintegrate is a leading provider of marketing technology with their relationship marketing platform, Pando. According to Counterpoint Research's Monthly Market Pulse report, global Apple iPhone sales grew a healthy 26% annually crossing 20 million unit monthly sales mark for the first time ever in November 2014. Japan, Korea and China were the bright spots where Apple registered a higher than expected demand for its newer and bigger display sporting iPhone 6 & 6 Plus models.
In Korea, Apple captured a record one-third of the total smartphone sales in November, first time ever challenging rival Samsung's strong foothold in its home market. Commenting on Apple's performance in Korea, Counterpoint's Research Director based in Korea, Tom Kang notes, "No foreign brand has gone beyond the 20% market share mark in the history of Korea's smartphone industry. In China, iPhone sales reached a record monthly high volumes, growing more than 45% annually in November, as rich urban Chinese consumers quickly warmed to the bigger iPhone form-factors.
Counterpoint's Research Director Neil Shah, commenting on Apple's record performance in China notes, "This has helped propel Apple's smartphone market share to above 12%, capturing third spot behind Lenovo and the market leader Xiaomi. In other important markets such as the USA, iPhone demand remained relatively healthy compared to last year whereas in fast growing smartphone market India, Apple is on track to sell almost a million units for the last three months of 2014.
Our Monthly Market Pulse market share data is based on sell-out (sales) surveyed at major mass retailers, distributors across different markets (33 countries) by Counterpoint Research team plus sanity checked with demand side surveys & expert Analyst estimates to complete the global monthly sales database. Neil is a sought-after frequently-quoted Industry Analyst with a wide spectrum of rich multifunctional experience. For over more than a decade, he has been offering expert strategic advice that has been highly regarded across different industries especially in telecom.
He is also an IEEE Certified Wireless Professional with a Master of Science (Telecommunications & Business) from the University of Maryland, College Park, USA. Apple market share in Japan fell year on year from ~70% in 2013 to ~50% in 2014 (for November). Now we can see just how many products are owned by Kraft, Coca-Cola, General Mills, Kellogg's, Mars, Unilever, Johnson & Johnson, P&G and Nestle. Ninety percent of the media is now controlled by just six companies, down from 50 in 1983, according to a Frugal Dad infographic from last year. No advertising, no marketing campaigns, no commercials, but only the history of the names of some of the biggest brands in the world.
He also suggested Pequod, the name of the boat in the same book, but his associate Terry Hecker refused.
Fast food is notoriously bad for you, so in a bid to position themselves as more 'healthy', this tagline was born. Used in both printed and television adverts, the "Have a Break…" tagline reflects how quick and easy the wafer bar is to eat. Not only does it mention the brand name, and keep things short and sweet; it plays on the brand name and the product.
And as well as being great mascots, the onomatopoeic gnomes make for a great and long lasting slogan. This ad slogan works because it appeals to the brand's target audience of children, and shows that breakfast can be delicious. The catchy song that featured on the adverts and the humour they used helped make them memorable and effective. Their main ad strapline "Every Little Helps" perfectly reflects this, and has been used in printed and television marketing for many years. Those four simple words perfectly reflected the high end nature of the product and the company. First introduced in 1988, the infamous tagline has featured on all of the brand's advertising since. To counter this, Ronseal introduced their key strapline to show just how 'no nonsense' and simple it can be. Coupled with their bunny mascot who is running errands, the strapline tells audiences exactly why they should purchase from this brand. Simple, powerful, and effective; this advertising tagline appeals to shoppers of all kinds. It perfectly reflects the high end nature of the car, and tells customers that they will always receive the best vehicle.
The company is telling its audience that, when they need them, they will be there – just as long as they have insurance.
Their "Don't be Evil" tagline was to promote 'white hat' SEO (search engine optimisation) techniques. Where an organization can afford neither a wide scope cost leadership nor a wide scope differentiation strategy, a niche strategy could be more suitable. With a differentiation focus a firm creates competitive advantage through differentiation within the niche or segment. It is argued that if you select one or more approaches, and then fail to achieve them, that your organization gets stuck in the middle without a competitive advantage. Competitive scope of the market – does the company target a wide market, or does it focus on a very narrow, niche market? Factories are built and maintained, labor is recruited and trained to deliver the lowest possible costs of production.
This allows companies to desensitize prices and focus on value that generates a comparatively higher price and a better margin. Where many solutions provide individual tools to address specific ventures of a business (think digital file repositories or inventory management systems), an EMMP integrates each and every element of a company's day-to-day operations so they work together in a smarter, more efficient kind of harmony. From lead generation to conversions to the closing sale, EMMPs unify and streamline each step of the marketing lifecycle so that all elements work in concert.
It's our job to help them architect the right solutions to achieve these goals, and EMMPs represent an innovative way to bring them together.
In Japan, one of the most premium smartphone markets in the world, Apple captured more than half of the smartphone sales in October as well as November. Counterpoint Research estimates, Apple's iPhone 6 & 6 Plus momentum will continue into December and help Apple register its best ever iPhone quarter. Apple is never gonna be as cheap as Android because Apple's a brand, Android is the generic brand. Likewise, 37 banks merged to become JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and CitiGroup in a little over two decades, as seen in this 2010 graphic from Mother Jones.
From the most known to the most obscure, all the brand names have an origin story and a particular DNA.
Convinced by the success of Scandinavian products, Ruben and Rose decided to give their brand a name with Danish consonants. A great advertising slogan does more than get people talking about your brand though – it brings it to life. Coupled with their signature advert style, this helps create a winning campaign every time.
The "Eat Fresh" slogan lets audiences know their sandwiches – and the fillings – are always fresh and freshly prepared.
The tagline tells audiences if they want baked beans, their best choice is the Heinz brand. Coupled with clever advertising and an interesting use of words – "probably" isn't 100% definite and still implies choice – Carlsberg's adverts are always a huge hit.
It tells prospective customers that they can trust the store, and will always get the best product and service.
It tells the audience that they deserve to treat themselves and make the best of themselves. By telling women this is the brand makeup artists use, Max Factor instantly becomes a brand that can make a difference. It was a metaphor for everlasting love; telling audiences that buying these gems would cement their relationship forever.
The "Local Bank" tagline promotes trust; something which the banks certainly need to promote at the moment. It also helps position Audi as being at the forefront of technological advances, and passing these on to their customers. It tells customers that they are buying into a lifestyle and are at the forefront of technology.
We dare to think outside the box and produce creative designs that wow your customers and tell your brand story.
Here an organization focuses effort and resources on a narrow, defined segment of a market.
The benefits of differentiation require producers to segment markets in order to target goods and services at specific segments, generating a higher than average price.
In essence, it's a one-stop solution that addresses the unique needs of each arm of a business. Get to the root of relationship marketing through improved sales enablement and enhanced marketing automation with Pando.
Japan has been one of the strongest market for Apple and it is becoming increasingly difficult for competition to challenge Apple's dominance in near- to mid-term.
But iPhone 6 and 6 Plus have made a difference here, denting the competition's phablet sales. However, with improving supply of iPhone 6 Plus we believe the iPhone 6 Plus sales will contribute to a greater proportion of the sales mix in December and during the Chinese holiday season in Q1 2015. We include all MOAP Linux and Symbian phones while they only count iOS, Android and Windows. This tagline ties in with the company branding, which features a rainbow on the sweets packaging. This clever marketing strategy is carried through in the television adverts, to reinforce the slogan. Rather than targeting one niche, they cleverly appeal to everyone with one simple strapline. By using three powerful adjectives associated with high quality, this phrase helps to reinforce the brand values and encourage people to make a purchase.
So what exactly is EMM, and more importantly, what differentiates it from the existing asset and relationship management tools on which so many marketers already depend? Apple will likely benefit from the upcoming Apple Watch with a growing and premium iPhone user-base in this highly advanced consumer market.
Korea being the world's highest penetrated phablet market (handsets with 5" above screens) earnestly needed a large screen iPhone for quite a time and now this thirst has been quenched. You can say Apple has reached record levels in Japan if you count all the handsets now, including feature phones. Also the reason for the temporary Japanese decline is because last year was inflated due to the first time the iPhone was available in Japan. But with launch of Xiaomi Note & Note Pro it is going to be a fierce battle in the premium segment, with Samsung being attacked from both ends". Producers could price at competitive parity, exploiting the benefits of a bigger margin than competitors.

Platform: Arcade (Midway T-Unit)
Developer: Midway
Publisher: Midway
Released: 1992/1993 (Unreleased)
Genre: Scrolling Brawler
Players: 1-3 (Co-op)
Unlike Bubble Bobble II, an unreleased prototype game that, after looking at the evidence, was possibly sent to magazines in its horrifyingly broken state as 'review code', Judge Dredd for the arcade clearly isn't quite finished, a fact that the programmer himself confirmed. However, it was put out for location testing anyway. Before it was cancelled (for reasons that are elaborated upon in this location test report and at the end of our own full playthrough) the developers managed to finish three levels and three bonus stages, with an unfinished 'boss rush' level that can be found in the test menu and a 60-70% finished encounter with Judge Death. However, the game has been preserved thanks to MAME, albeit in a slightly less-complete form (missing the Death fight). Not quite a full game, then, but just about enough to justify a review, eh, readers?
Enough of the history of the game's release, Judge Dredd isn't like other scrolling brawlers of the time period. With a button layout apparently borrowed from NASA (actually borrowed from NARC), each of the three stages (oh, wait, they're called Waves in this game) are actually very different from one another. Wave 1 is a typical side-scrolling stage where you have to beat up thugs (and giant rats), Wave 2 gives Dredd his Lawgiver gun (which you can aim straight ahead or angled up) and also adds some rudimentary platforming into the mix, and Wave 3 is the most interesting. You have to kill Block War thugs with your Lawgiver and four different kinds of ammunition, but the catch is that both Block War sides are developing a death cannon, represented by a meter, and killing block warriors keeps the meter of their side from dropping for a second. If either side fully develops their cannon, you have to start again with a reduced time-limit. This is a nice bit of variety in a genre that's otherwise characterised by being the same thing over and over again, so kudos to Midway for that, and since the brawling itself is solid enough- not perfect, as it adds confusing eight-way attacks- it's pretty entertaining.
However, while it's a nice start, this game still wasn't ready for mass production, and it's mainly because of a lack of polish, for wnat of a better word. The platforming sections in Wave 2, for instance, are a bit of a mess because with the game engine Midway used, precision platforming really isn't its forte, but they decided to shoe-horn it in anyway, which is a shame. Wave 3 may be unique, but the difficulty is pitched a bit too high- you'll have to repeat the assignment a few times to actually win! Really, most of the criticisms in the location test report are pretty much on the It does get some things right, though- the foundations are fairly solid, the training stages in-between each Wave are a nice addition, the license is adhered to to the letter (the references to the comic are spot-on, and the voices are pitch-perfect) and you can tell that Midway were going for something more than just a cheap cash-in- they really wanted to be faithful to the comics. As such, it's really hard to dislike the game too much- it's certainly different from other brawlers of the time, so while it still needs work done on it, it's worth a shot.
For being ultimately unfinished, Judge Dredd is awarded...
In a sentence, Judge Dredd is...
Unfinished, but with a bit of promise.

During World War II, Italian torpedoes were designated as follows: Initials of the builder, warhead weight and overall diameter and length. Sometimes there was also a particular mark added. The principal builders were Whitehead (W) at Fiume (usually called just "Fiume") and Silurificio Italiano (SI) at Naples (usually called just "Naples").
For example, W270/533.4 x 7.2 "F" meant that this torpedo was built by Fiume (Whitehead), with a 270 kg (595 lbs.) warhead, was 533.4 mm (21") in diameter, 7.2 meters (283") long and was model "F" of that type.
Except for some special, circling, electric airborne torpedoes, torpedoes built during World War II were wet-heater systems using natural air and kerosene type fuel. In old torpedoes, the engine was a four-cylinder Brotherhood type radial. Later Fiume ones had a two-cylinder horizontal double-acting engine. The Naples torpedoes had a two-row eight-cylinder radial except for the latest ones, which had a eight-cylinder in-line engine. It is believed that Naples also considered a V-12 engine.
During World War II, older torpedoes used Whisker impact pistols. Newer ones used a two inertial pendulum type that would fire on impact, even at fine track angles and at low speeds, the limit claimed being 15° and 5 knots. A magnetic pistol based on a coil without the usual rod was developed. This pistol was also used by the Germans, who considered it to be less liable to perturbations than their own coil rod and amplifier design.


Dogs are well known for their kind and dedicated nature. In return, they should receive attention and care. If you are a dog owner, you may know that one of the most common problems that affect these pets is an ear infection. Ear infection in dogs are very common and it can occur both in the inner and outer area of the ear. It can cause by the inflammation of harmful bacteria and fungus from the outer ear canal. To provide some solutions to treat this condition we want to show a list to cure dog ear infection that you can use to help your furry to get better from this infection.
Hearing loss in severe cases.
Prevention of a dog ear infection is always better than cure. You have to follow some essential rules as a responsible pet owner.
Make cleanings with care, and not introducing anything that could damage the ear of your dog.
Use specific cleansers to maintain the hygiene of your pet's ear. Swabs is prohibited.
Pay special attention that water does not enter your pet's ears at bath time.
Check the ears of your pet after a field trip. Thus, we can prevent that no foreign particle is introduced and produce an infection.
Never clean the ear with water or serum by pouring directly into it. Water and serum often stay inside the ear causing moisture, which causes microorganisms to grow that cause infection.
Never use the same gauze for both ears, change between one and the other.
If you notice wound inside your pet's ear, do not try to do the cures without the supervision of a veterinarian.
In spite of being careful, if you see the symptoms that are described, you should go to the vet. He will give a proper solution for your pet.
When you notice that your dog is producing a type of pink or brownish discharge, it is most likely that a yeast infection is developing. Vinegar has many cleansing properties that are useful in the treatment of ear infection.
Firstly you have to take a container, preferably those that fulfill dripper functions or that have a tip that allows the product to reach the ear. In that container, place a similar amount of water and vinegar.
Give a few drops of the mixture in the ear of your dog and massage softly. After this, take a piece of gauze and clean the area softly to remove the ear wax.
When infection occurs with open wounds, applying products such as vinegar can cause great pain and discomfort. In these cases, it is better to clean with oils of natural origin such as olive oil or almond oil. The idea is that the wax is released and it is much easier to remove it.
Place a few drops of the oil into its ear that you have selected and massage the ear softly. By using a gauze, you have to remove the product that is infectious and the discharge from the ear.
There is a plant called Pau d'Arco known in America for its antibiotic properties. Being a natural product, you can use it as part of the home remedies for canine otitis.
Make a mixture of two parts of tincture of the plant with a part of the natural oil that you have chosen. You have to will apply a few drops in the ear after having done the cleaning with one of the methods you have shown previously. Leave the product in the ear of the dog to help heal wounds and eliminate microorganisms that may be causing otitis or ear infection.
Salt has many disinfectant properties so we can use it to eliminate several of the causes that can cause the appearance of canine otitis in addition to other internal parasites. This should not be used if our pet has open wounds in some part of their body.
Mix the water and the salt and place it in a spray container. What you will do is spray your dog with this solution all over the body including the outer part of the ears. This will help you to eliminate fleas from the body as well as other organisms such as mites and fungi from the outer ear.
This mixture that we will show you can be used to treat several factors that can cause ear infection at the same time.
In a container that has a thin applicator for use in the ear, mix equal parts of the three ingredients. It should have well mixed then use this mixture in the following way: put some drops in the ear of our dog, massage gently and using a gauze you have to remove the product and the wax.
Here you are! 5 home remedies for canine otitis that you can start using right now. Remember to always check with your veterinarian if things get worse or if your dog has other symptoms.

Glow Stick Explodes In Boy's Face After He Microwaves It (Video)
Despite his father's warning not to heat a glow stick up in the microwave, one boy decided to try it and film the explosive consequences.
The boy, whose name is Jack according to the video's description, cooks the glow stick in the microwave, then removes it and shows it to the camera just as the stick explodes. The contents fly into his eyes and he cries out in pain, yelling for his father.
"Jesus, are you kidding me?" Jack's father says. "I have no idea what to do – I've got to see what to do – you ding-a-ling! God, I told you not to mess with a choking hazard."
Oddly, Jack's father reprimands his son for ruining his "beautiful" shirt.
(via shizznat.com)
"This is why you HAVE to go to school," one YouTube commenter wrote.
The video was uploaded to YouTube by Jack's older brother, who confirmed that Jack has made a full recovery and that his eyes are still in good working condition.
Since the video's original upload on November 1, it has accumulated over 900,000 views.

It was deadly quiet in the van. The only sound was from the swish of the tires on the wet tarmac. Every so often, the van would hit a pothole, and Josh would jerk in his seat. The other lads in the band, sensing the atmosphere up front, spoke quietly which was unusual for them.
'Look, I didn't know that you was interested in her did I?' Josh was looking at the side view of Jazz, who had barely taken his eye off the road ahead.
'Whatever.' Jazz grumbled, and Josh was taken aback by his subdued tone. Was this a good sign? Or should he be worried? It was hard to tell by his profile; the set line of his jaw, the large hairy arms gripping the wheel, or the trickle of sweat running down the corner of his face.
Jazz took his grip off the wheel and wiped his brow with the back of his hand, then turned to look at Josh.
'No need to look so worried, Josh boy. I want a good lead singer, and your 'it.' The ladies love you that's for sure.'
Suddenly, Jazz pulled the van into the kerbside. Straight ahead lay the road to Edinburgh, and Glasgow beyond that. Jazz turned off the engine and lent over to grab a cigarette. He sat there quietly smoking.
'We'll leave you boys to it. I need a pee and some fresh air anyway.' One of the lads spoke up from behind. Josh heard the van doors being pulled open, and then silence. He watched as his band mates walked over to a gate and disappear behind some bushes. Luke, ever the loyal friend, stood next to the van, a worried look on his face. Josh could see his pained expression through the dusty streaks on the window.
Not speaking a word, Jazz lent into the glove compartment in front of where Josh sat. Josh got a whiff of the rancid smell of cigarettes and beer. He turned away, but not before Jazz grabbed his chin and forced him to look straight in his eyes. He had a torch in his right hand and with a smooth movement that belied his size, he swung it at Josh's knee.
The pain was sharp and immediate.
'I won't touch the pretty boy face; we need that for the fans.' he growled quietly into his ear. 'I'm warning you – don't ever show me up in front of the ladies, or the other lads, is that clear enough for you?'
Josh nodded, sweat pouring down his face. Moments later, the van slid open and the other lads piled in.
Jazz switched on the ignition, and they were on their way.

El gamo común o europeo (Dama dama, a veces llamado Cervus dama) es una especie de cérvido nativa de la región mediterránea. Se diferencia del otro gran cérvido europeo, el ciervo común (Cervus elaphus), en su menor tamaño, sus astas palmeadas y su manto de pelo pardo-rojizo salpicado de motas blancas en primavera y verano (ocasionalmente con una banda oscura en el lomo).

Morfología

El gamo presenta un notable dimorfismo sexual. Únicamente los machos tienen astas que están inclinadas hacia atrás, y presentan tres candiles y una zona palmeada, típicos de la especie. La cornamenta muda anualmente, como en la mayoría de los cérvidos, cayéndose a finales de marzo o principios de abril para empezar a crecer inmediatamente, completándose su crecimiento a finales de junio y principios de julio. La longitud del gamo varía entre los 129-155 cm de los machos y los 118-140 cm de las hembras. El peso medio para los machos es de 58 kg y 45 kg para las hembras.

El diseño de su escudo anal es característico, tiene el fondo blanco y está enmarcado por dos franjas negras que le dan forma de corazón partido, al estar atravesado por la cola de dorso negro de hasta 19 cm. Este diseño permite diferenciar especialmente a las hembras del gamo de las ciervas, con las que se las podría confundir, ya que aunque en primavera y verano su patrón de manchas blancas en el lomo las diferencia mucho, en invierno desaparecen las motas blancas del lomo al volverse su pelaje más oscuro y ligeramente grisáceo; aunque el vientre, glúteos y parte inferior de las patas y la cola permanecen blancos todo el año.

La especie presenta gran variedad individual en el color de capa, que va desde el blanco que presentan algunos individuos, no albinos ya que sus ojos presentan coloración normal, hasta el gris oscuro casi negro de individuos melánicos, aunque el color pardo rojizo con un patrón de manchas blancas, único en cada individuo, es el más habitual. También es corriente en algunos ejemplares tener una franja oscura que recorre toda la columna dividiendo el lomo en dos paneles.

Está estrechamente emparentado con el gamo persa Dama mesopotamica, considerado por algunos autores una subespecie de Dama dama.

Distribución y hábitat

La especie ocupó gran parte de Europa y Asia Occidental durante el último periodo interglaciar, pero se extinguió de amplias zonas de su territorio, incluida la península ibérica, al inicio de la última glaciación, quedando reducida su distribución a Asia menor y posiblemente el Mediterráneo oriental, hasta que fue reintroducida en gran parte de su antiguo ámbito, incluida la península ibérica, en tiempos históricos. En la actualidad los gamos se han introducido en gran parte de Europa y además en Estados Unidos, México, Perú, Chile, Sudáfrica, Uruguay, Argentina, Australia, Nueva Zelanda e islas Fiyi.

Esta especie prefiere los bosques de hoja caduca relativamente húmedos, donde se alimenta preferentemente de hojas de árboles y arbustos y en menor medida de hierbas. En la antigüedad, el gamo se convirtió en una presa codiciada por los cazadores, sobre todo los pertenecientes a las clases altas. Esto, paradójicamente, contribuyó a su conservación e introducción en varios lugares donde antes no estaba presente o se había extinguido durante la última era glacial. La mayor expansión se produjo durante el Imperio romano y la Edad Media, cuando la especie fue introducida en Europa central, las islas británicas y el sur de la península escandinava y Finlandia. A su pariente, el gamo persa (Dama mesopotamica), le fue incluso peor, y llegó a creerse extinta hasta que se redescubrieron unas cuantas cabezas en una región remota del sureste de Irán. Los gamos europeos suelen ser habitantes habituales de los parques y jardines de varios países, donde se crían con fines ornamentales.

Al contrario que otros cérvidos de su tamaño, no forma manadas sino que vive en grupos familiares de menos de 10 individuos, o bien lleva una vida solitaria. Un macho se une a uno de estos grupos durante la época de celo, normalmente en octubre. En junio las hembras preñadas paren una cría, rara vez dos o incluso tres.

Reproducción
El gamo es una especie polígama. La época de apareamiento tiene lugar a principios de otoño, recién terminada la de los ciervos, este periodo recibe el nombre de la ronca, en referencia al sonido que emiten los machos para advertir a sus oponentes y atraer a las hembras. Los machos adultos marcan su territorio y compiten con otros machos por el dominio y derecho a cubrir a las hembras. El periodo de gestación dura 8 meses y generalmente tienen una cría por cada embarazo, produciéndose los partos a partir de finales de mayo.

For some people, the ideal vacation revolves around luxury hotels, posh restaurants, full service spas and exotic resorts – the finest that money can buy. For others, travel is more about adventure. They don't want to pampered. They want to leave comforts behind them and go where most people never dare to go, and see the sights most people will never see.
For the adventurers and the thrill seekers out there, this list is for you! Here are 10 of the most breath-taking bridges, from remote places around the world – guaranteed to get your heart racing.
Located in the French Alps, this bridge can only be reached by cable car. In fact, it's the longest vertical cable car in the world: a 9,000 foot climb from Chamonix to the summit above. Those who can stomach this 20 minute ride are rewarded with the most spectacular view of the mountains of southern France – and a chance to look fear in the face.
Located north of Vancouver, British Columbia, this cable suspension bridge is 140 meters (460 ft) long, and hangs 70 meters above the Capilano River. First erected in 1889 with hemp rope and cedar planks, the bridge was rebuilt in 1956 using much stronger wire cable. Since then, the park has added a new walkway suspended from the side of a cliff overlooking the river, and series of treetop bridges and viewing platforms. Tourists flock to this park for the beautiful scenery and the thrill of walking among the gigantic, old growth fir trees.
Also known as the Mapimi Bridge, this ancient suspension bridge is located in the state of Durango, Mexico. This pedestrian bridge was originally built 1898 in order to reach the Ojuela gold mine, long since abandoned. But the bridge was restored in 1991, and now serves as tourist attraction.
Located in Daedunsan Provincial Park in Korea, the bridge is part of a five hour hiking trail around Daedunsan mountain. The bridge is 50 meters long (164 ft) and is suspended 80 meters (260 ft) above a treacherous gorge. The trail also features an incredibly steep suspended staircase – not for the faint of heart.
Located in Northern Ireland, this narrow rope bridge connects the mainland with the tiny island of Carrick-a-Rede. It is 20 meters (66 ft) long and 30 meters (98 ft) above the rocky sea below. It was once a dangerous and dilapidated bridge used by salmon fisherman out of necessity, but it has been improved and rebuilt many times through the years, most recently in 2008. Although no longer used by fishermen, it remains a popular tourist attraction – although many who come to see it lack the courage to cross.
This suspension foot bridge is located in the Swiss Alps, more than 10,000 feet above sea level. It is 98 meters (320 feet) long, and hangs 457 meters (1500 feet) above a glacier. It cost more than £1 million, and is built to withstand 120 mph winds and 450 tons of snow. On clear day, hikers can see all the way to Italy.
Located near the remote village of Ghasa in Nepal, this frightening rope bridge hangs high above a mountain valley. How long is it? How high? As far as I can tell, no one knows. It was built to alleviate congested traffic on the narrow mountain paths, and is used every day by both people and pack animals. Look out for yak droppings.
The longest suspension foot bridge in Switzerland is located near the town of Gadmen, and can only be reached by cable car. The bridge is 170 meters (560 ft) long, and is suspended above the Triftsee lake 100 meters (330 ft) below. It is part of a scenic alpine trail that leads hikers up to a picturesque view of the Trift valley and a nearby glacier. Beautiful, no doubt. Just don't look down.
Located in Northern Pakistan, the Hussaini hanging bridge stretches across Borit Lake in the upper Hunza valley. The bridge looks terrifying: thin cables supporting weathered old boards, with substantial gaps between them. It looks as though one wrong step could plunge you into the lake below. Also unnerving are the crumbling remains of a second, older bridge that still hangs alongside it. All of which contributes to it's reputation as "the scariest bridge in the world." It even has it's own Facebook page. Thrill seekers come from far and wide to see if they have the guts to complete this treacherous crossing.
But to the locals, it's actually no big deal. They routinely cross the bridge to travel from one village to another – even little children. Despite it's frightening appearance, it seems the bridge is actually quite safe.
Deep in the Akaishi mountain range of Japan hangs a dilapidated, 60 year old bridge known as Musou Tsuribashi, which means "matchless suspension bridge." This thing is an acrophobe's nightmare: no handrails, old rotting boards, many of which have fallen away, leaving yawning gaps which open onto the treetops below. Long stretches of the bridge have only one thin board to stand on, running straight down the middle; one needs the poise and balance of a tightrope walker to reach the other side. The bridge is so old, and the region so remote, that little is known about the bridge, or why it was built. But I know one thing: this is the scariest and most dangerous bridge in the world – hands down.

The Virtual Student Federal Service (VSFS), formerly known as the Virtual Student Foreign Service, is a U.S. Department of State program that offers opportunities for American college and university students to virtually intern at U.S. federal agencies. There are over 500 opportunities available at 33 federal agencies, and many of the opportunities are looking for more than one intern. Interns can be enrolled in a class or classes at any tertiary institution, but they must be American citizens. All work is virtual, and background clearances are not required. These opportunities are unpaid, but offer work experience, sometimes involving foreign languages.

History
The Virtual Student Federal Service was announced by United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in May 2009 as one of several programs in Clinton's 21st Century Statecraft initiative. Twenty-first Century Statecraft is defined as, "[t]he complementing of traditional foreign policy tools with newly innovated and adapted instruments of statecraft that fully leverage the networks, technologies, and demographics of our interconnected world." VSFS partners with U.S. diplomatic posts overseas and State Department, U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), NASA, and many other federal agencies to provide virtual internship opportunities.

The first virtual internship year coincided with the 2009–2010 academic year.

Program details
Internships begin in the Fall and end in the Spring, with an application open period in July. Students commit for the academic year, contributing 10 hours a week for the virtual internship. Students communicate with their supervisors often through email, telephone, and Skype. The nature of work varies depending on what the agency needs. The work may be research-based, where the student is required to contribute to reports on issues such as economics, the environment, and human rights, or the work may be technology-focused, such as creating blogs and producing electronic journals. Language skills are sometimes required.

Examples of projects (from 2017–2018)

 United States Department of State: Help build a successful partnership among Department of State bureaus and offices to improve the way employees worldwide use data and knowledge to accomplish their missions.
 United States Agency for International Development (USAID): Help connect, support, and promote the work of the Higher Education Solutions Network (HESN) at USAID, a global network of universities that harnesses science, technology, and innovation to solve development challenges.
 Central Intelligence Agency (CIA): We seek an intern who can assist in identifying best practices from academia (e.g. cognitive/behavioral science, business/management theory), government, and the private sector so that we may apply this research toward internal programs.
 Smithsonian Institution: Help millions of National Zoo visitors plan their visits by designing and building a cutting edge "plan your day" tool.
 National Park Service: Display and interpret three large fossil specimens in a permanent Visitor Center installation.

Speech policy panel may open some meetings to public | Campus News
An advisory group on Ohio University's "freedom of expression" policies met for the second time this past Friday, and discussed opening the group's currently closed-door meetings to the public once the group goes through further feedback on the policies.
The two interim "freedom of expression" policies – one regulating use of internal spaces at OU and one regulating outdoor spaces – have proved to be very unpopular and controversial since the OU administration approved them this summer. The indoor policy in particular bans any protests or demonstrations inside university buildings without prior approval from university administration.
The ACLU of Ohio has called the policies "unconstitutional," and OU's Faculty, Student and Graduate senates all have come out against them.
University President Duane Nellis convened what the university is calling its Presidential Policy Advisory Group in late October, with the charge of reviewing all of the feedback that the campus and other community members have sent to the university on the policies.
OU Scripps College of Communication Dean Scott Titsworth said during a conference call with local media Friday that the group's goal is to synthesize that feedback to produce a "series of recommendations" that will inform the OU administration on the next draft of one or more policies on "freedom of expression" that will replace the current interim policies.
"After that policy is drafted, it would go through a period of time where advice, feedback and information would be (solicited) from the campus community through the various senates," he explained.
Titsworth said that the group is hoping to finish its work "prior to spring break (2018)."
The Communication College dean said that the first 30 minutes of the group's hour-long meeting Friday was taken up by "continued discussion" of the group's "feelings" about whether the group's meetings should be open or closed to the public.
The ACLU of Ohio also has spoken out against the group voting unanimously to keep its meetings closed to the public during its first meeting in November.
Titsworth explained that no consensus has yet been reached on whether meetings "absolutely going forward should be open or closed."
"We discussed whether there are different aspects of meetings where it would be more appropriate for them to be open, (and) other types of meetings where it would be more appropriate for us to remain a closed group for us to be able to work together," he said.
Titsworth suggested that the group might like to keep its meetings closed to the public as members are reviewing feedback on the "freedom of expression" policies. However, when the group gets into the "nitty-gritty" work of deciding what guiding principals should inform the new policy, Titsworth said, the group could open its meetings or even host "public forums" to solicit public input on those principals.
Titsworth added, however, that the group has not yet decided on what those possible public forums or open meetings would entail, or how they would be structured.
Asked if the group has seen any consensus from the public on the policies, Titsworth noted that the group has only analyzed the 10 first comments out of roughly 100 total comments so far, with the intent of developing a "thematic interpretive process" to analyze the rest of the comments.
"One of the things that was common, and received a lot of attention in those (first 10) comments was the statement that free speech is vital to the functioning of the university," Titsworth explained, "and what I mean by that is that several of the comments were reviewed where the authors of those comments advocated for the necessity of broad free speech on a college campus, where we are trying to create a community that promotes critical thinking… and the ability to have difficult dialogues."
Titsworth said that once the group goes through all the comments, it will create a list of "themes" with example statements from the public comments that illustrate those themes.
The advisory group consists of the following members:
• Scott Titsworth, convener of the advisory group.
• Landen Lama, president of Student Senate.
• Maria Modayil, president of Graduate Student Senate.
• Jacqueline Wolf, Faculty Senate representative.
• Jessica Wingett, chair of Administrative Senate.
• Sharon Romina, chair of Classified Senate.
• Katherine Jellison, chair of the OU Department of History.
• Grant Garber, representative of OU Legal Affairs.
• Andrew Powers, chief of the OU Police Department.
• Dusty Kilgour, executive director of Baker University Center.
• Carly Leatherwood, senior director of communications services with University Communications and Marketing, who is an "ex-officio" member of the committee, according to the release.

Racing Hearts Beat Hard in the Santos Family
Posted by Patrick Reynolds | Aug 26, 2018 | Patrick's Column | 1 |
Story and photo by Patrick Reynolds
… Three separate groups that frequently blur lines between them in auto racing. In both the grandstands and pit areas of superspeedway to local grassroots short tracks, people form close personal connections- the kind which bring high emotion to the surface and then bonding in their hearts.
The grid was already pushed into place when I arrived at Indiana's Anderson Speedway for the Little 500. The high-banked quarter-mile oval was hosting its 70th running of this dramatic pavement sprint car race. The lineup staged 11 rows of three cars for the 33-car field, mimicking its main event in which it served as a Memorial Day undercard for- the Indianapolis 500.
Driver names popped to a short track nerd like me- Eric Gordon, Shane Hollingsworth, Jerry Coons Jr., and veteran Ken Schrader. National short track names rich in USAC history graced the grand event ready to unfold.
I walked through the turn-four gate, across the 17-degree banked corner, and up to the frontstretch where the Little 500 field sat in formation for pre-race ceremonies. Looking over the sharp-looking sprint cars, I made a leisurely stroll through all 11 rows. The front row is where I landed for some New England Modified lore.
Bobby Santos III qualified on the outside of the front row, a name well known to current fans of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour. Santos was the 2010 series champion where he is still a participant and winner.
Being around the sport for over four decades, I remember as a young fan in New England, watching Santos' grandfather race. Santos was not around his car at the moment that I approached the black machine. Some outgoing and friendly crewmembers were welcoming and eagerly talked about the Santos-driven car and upcoming 500-lap race within an hour of the green flag.
The team filled me in on their week of practice and qualifying at Anderson and how their race was shaping up. They moved the car off of the grid in an attempt to diagnose an unknown noise coming from the rear. The brakes, wheels, and rear housing were given quick looks. An uncertain but not overly concerned expression filled the team's faces as the sprinter was pushed back to the grid.
The crewmembers' friendly talk with me resumed without missing a beat. I had not met this group of guys before, but I was taken in as a team member and a friend.
I found Santos to say hello as he was dressed in his firesuit during driver introductions on the frontstretch stage. We spoke about me watching his grandfather race Modifieds at the Thompson Speedway in Connecticut in the 1970s.
"Wow, that's unbelievable," said Santos. "How old are you?"
I guessed I pulled off a younger age in my appearance to Santos.
Strolling over to Santos' infield pit area for the 500, I continued to chat with crewmembers about the uniqueness of this event. His Dad describes their pit equipment and logistical setup.
The Little 500 features live infield pitting for tires and fuel. Stations are set up on the infield of the quarter-mile oval on the crossroads for the figure-eight track. Gravity-fed elevated tanks were used for refueling. Air jacks and pneumatic knockoff-style guns were at the ready for tire changes.
Sprint cars are not equipped with transmissions or onboard starters. The Anderson infield has a command center for push truck dispatches. When a pit stop is complete, the crew waves their arms and a truck is radioed to a car's pit stall to push off and send the car back onto the track in action.
These aspects lend high value to the fans' entertainment. Teams will easily go down a few laps during green-condition stops and there is a frantic attention waving from teams during caution stops where multiple cars hit pit road.
Santos ran near the front of the Little 500 throughout. The pit crew made sharp and quick work in their refueling and tire changing duties. They were about to connect with their driver beyond tires and mechanics.
Santos crashed on the backstretch just past the 300-lap mark. His crippled machine with its broken suspension sat in its pit stall where mere moments earlier, it was primed to make a charge for the 500 win.
Santos climbed up through the sprint car's roll cage and out of his ride. He slammed his helmet and Hans device to the pavement. The look on his face was pure anger. His scowl was framed in sweat.
He marched with purpose out of the infield towards the racing surface near turn four as the field circulated under caution. The crash helmet that just survived Santos' throw to the asphalt was back in his hand and about to take another ride.
He was clearly looking to launch the helmet at the car driven by what Santos felt was the offending driver who caused his crash. One of his own crew members ran out to him and grabbed his arm to prevent the obvious intent.
Santos snapped his arm and shook the grip of his teammate. With anger in his eyes, he threw the helmet at the car in his crosshairs. It ricocheted off the sprinter's side and rolled back toward the infield. With the message delivered, the angry Santos and unsuccessful crewmember returned to the pit area, emotions and tension high within them both.
The crew wore disappointed expressions as the race continued. Santos cooled off. The team gathered their equipment. Smiles were nowhere to be found.
The guys talked among themselves. Bonding, connecting, and looking ahead to another race. The track bound crewmember sat in a lawn chair with his pursed lips and unhappy expression. Santos' anger from crashing had subsided.
The Little 500 raced on as the sprint cars roared. Santos walked over to the lawn chair and exchanged no words with his friend. No words were needed. The two bumped fists and expressed camaraderie that words could not.
The team assessed the car's damage, gathered their tools, and waited until the end of the race so they could load up and head back to the shop.
Kody Swanson celebrated his second Little 500 win mere feet away from Santos' pit area as their equipment was packed into the hauler.
Disappointed on this night, the typical forward vision had the group's looking ahead to another race.
In victory or defeat, racers' bonds are as tight as the lugs holding the wheels on.
Racers.

Patrick Reynolds watched his first auto race on June 5, 1976 at the age of seven, and instantly fell in love with the sport. His life has been deeply rooted in racing ever since. Reynolds' father took him to the Danbury Racearena in Connecticut for Saturday night stock car races. It was a one-third mile paved fairgrounds oval that featured modifieds sanctioned by the Southern New York Racing Association. This group was a private club that held a strong connection to the local community. A common weekly grandstand crowd was in the six-to-seven thousand range. The first NASCAR race Reynolds attended was in September of that same year. The Thompson 300 for modifieds was becoming very prestigious and also held in Connecticut. The five-eighths of a mile high-banked oval looked massive compared to the Danbury bullring. The event also gave him a good idea of auto racing's competition level. Big winners and track champions from the Racearena often gridded in the non-qualifier's race just to make the back of the 300's field. Geoff Bodine dominated and won that day driving for Dick Armstrong. Occasional trips to other New England and New York short tracks ensued, but Danbury remained Reynolds' home track. The Racearena sadly closed in 1981 to make way for a shopping mall. A mall he boycotts in support of auto racing. Trips to Stafford Springs, Riverside Park, Lebanon Valley and other area speedways for his racing fix now increased. He witnessed some of the best drivers from the Northeast. Richie Evans, Brett Hearn, Dave Dion, Bentley Warren, Maynard Troyer, Billy Pauch, Dick McCabe and so many others that several pages could be filled here. Reynolds' first NASCAR Grand National (now Cup) race in person was in July of 1984 at Pocono, Pennsylvania. Harry Gant won a late-race battle with Cale Yarborough and Bill Elliott to win on this day. Quite a few of stock car racing's best were in the field. State law allowed him into the Stafford pit area when he turned 16. His racing mechanic apprenticeship began with helping drivers Jimmy Broderick and Ed Flemke Jr. in the late 1980s. His dedication stretched to the point where he never attended any of his high school proms. They were held on race nights and race nights were not skipped. Reynolds went dirt racing in 1989 on Bobby Knipe's pit crew with a sportsman car at Lebanon Valley Speedway in New York. Asphalt racing was his first love but a new-found respect and appreciation for dirt racing developed. Reynolds drove his own street stock at the Orange County Fair Speedway in Middletown, NY during the early 1990s and raced a Northeast pavement late model in the later 90s. In 2001 he relocated to "Race City U.S.A." Mooresville North Carolina, planning to use his racing experience to launch a professional NASCAR career. Over the next seven seasons he worked for multiple NASCAR teams. Mechanic, fabricator, tire specialist, and over-the-wall pit crew member became new job titles. Among the drivers he worked with were Michael Waltrip, Kenny Wallace, Brian Vickers, and A.J. Allmendinger. Germain Racing and their Nationwide Series program with Mike Wallace in 2008 was the last race team job for Reynolds. The country's economic recession set in and many of his fellow Charlotte-area NASCAR professionals were downsized right out of their careers. This is what led him to the media side of the industry. The broadcasting and writing world of motorsports was always something Reynolds thought about for the future. Similar to when an ex-football player steps behind a microphone during a telecast, however his timetable was suddenly sped up. He began freelance writing for websites that covered auto racing. His radio career began with networking an opportunity onto a motorsports talk show with a local radio station. One step led to another and Speedway Report is now home. The program airs Mondays at 7:30 pm ET on RacersReunion Radio for the Zeus Radio Network and SpeedwayReport.com/TV/. The show and www.speedwayreport.com aim to keep racers and fans informed of the latest racing news while remembering and respecting the wonderful history of the sport. Since his media career began, Reynolds has won 22 awards from the American Auto Racing Writers and Broadcasters Association. Their annual breakfast presents the honors at the Brickyard Crossing golf club on the morning prior to the Indianapolis 500. He also holds the Association's secretary position and is chairman of the AARWBA annual All-America Team award committee. His new home and place in the auto racing world is embraced. Relaying experiences from nearly a lifetime on both sides of the fence is thoroughly enjoyed by Reynolds. Gone are crew chief and sponsorship politics that bounce personnel from team to team. Now he takes it upon himself to express and discuss opinions, instead of hiding them for the sake of keeping a paycheck. The family's stress from NASCAR team instability is not missed. So, welcome to Speedway Report. The written or spoken word about anything in the auto racing world has a place there. Tune in to the weekly broadcasts, listen to the archives, and read Patrick's columns. The show and accompanying website are a place for his thoughts and yours. He is glad you are along for the ride!

The U.S Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking today that provides guidance to both employers and employees on how wellness programs offered as part of employers' group health plans can comply with Title I of the American with Disabilities Act.
Workplace wellness programs are often used to encourage healthier lifestyles or prevent disease. Some of these programs use health risk assessments and biometric screenings to measure blood pressure, cholesterol, and body weight. Incentives such as lower monthly premiums can be rewarded to individuals for participation.
Although the ADA limits the circumstances in which employers may ask employees about their health or require them to undergo medical examinations, it allows such inquiries and exams if they are voluntary and part of an employee health program.
· If an employee health program seeks information about employee health or medical exams, the program must aim to promote health or prevent disease, and not just collect information.
· Employees are not required to participate in a wellness program, and they may not be denied health coverage or disciplined if they refuse to participate.
· Companies may offer incentives of up to 30 percent of the total cost of employee-only coverage in connection with wellness programs. These programs can include medical examinations or questions about employees' health (such as questions on a health risk assessment).
· Discrimination based on disability is prohibited and individuals with disabilities must be provided with reasonable accommodations that allow them to participate.
The Commission seeks comments from the public that will shape the final regulation.
The preamble includes 6 specific questions on which public comment is requested; public comment on the proposed rule and these 6 questions will inform the final content of the rule. The questions can be found on pages 19-22 of the document.
Key issues include how voluntary disclosure should be defined in the context of this rule and how — and to what extent — notice requirements under this rule apply.
