will the court leave the decision up to the states or make same sex marriage legal coast to coast? hope you're having a great sunday. thanks for spending with us. welcome to america's news headquarters from washington. >> i'm shannon bream. we begin with the very latest on what is being called the most powerful earthquake to hit nepal in more than 80 years. the death toll now rising to more than 2500 people. among the dead three americans, that's according to the state department. we learned one of those is google executive dan friedenburg, climbing mount everest at the time of the the quake. tremor and after shocks are hampering rescue efforts. meanwhile, survivors are still in shock.
>> suddenly i heard a very big noise. i thought it was big birds. i was afraid. i didn't understand. and immediately, come with me just protect us and push you out on the ground. i really save her life. >> my father got injured. i lost my daughter. i broke my leg. it is very difficult now. and i have nothing with me. >> as i stood talking on the road suddenly there was an earthquake. there was a house in front of me which collapsed. i got injured. i don't know how i survived. >> david piper joins us now with the latest. hello, david. >> hi shannon. yes, rescue teams and aid are now pouring into nepal, but it is becoming a race against time to get help to so many people affected by that earthquake. and there was a powerful aftershock felt today across the region causing more avalanches on mount everest.
6.7 magnitude tremor sensored only 40 miles from nepal's capital katmandu and caused panic among the survivors of saturday's quake. people have been living on the streets because of the fear of aftershocks. nepal is a popular tourist destination, and travelers have been trying to escape the country in the wake of the quake. the death toll from the original quake on saturday could still rise. some remote areas near the epicenter remain cut off because many roads are blocked because of landslides. the nepalese authorities are continuing to struggle to cope with the number of injured arriving in hospitals in the capital katmandu. 17 people were also killed by avalanches on mount everest. the climbers' main base camp was hit hard and the copters have been transporting the injured down from the mountain. >> we were able to establish a connection with people up on the mountain. everybody is down safe. nobody is up on the mountain.
everybody is safe. the weather doesn't seem to be getting any better and tremors keep coming here again and again. >> reporter: the scale of the disaster is really overwhelmed the government of nepal. they have apeeld forpealed for help from the international community and many are helping, the u.s. pledged money and sent disaster relief teams. back to you. >> david piper with the latest on the earthquake. we'll keep tracking it. thank you, david. among those offering prayers to the victims of the quake is pope francis. as he led prayers in st. peters square today, the pontiff called for help for the survivors. he said he was praying for the victims, the injured and, quote, all those who are suffering from this clam terre.alamitycalamity. he send his condolences yesterday. it is being called a
possible clinton quid pro quo. allegations that bill and hillary clinton exchanged favors for foreign donations and inflated speaking fees while mrs. clinton was secretary of state. peter schweitzer author of the book "clinton cash" spoke out on fox news sunday this morning, while clinton's insider lani davis offered a defense of the couple. doug is tracking it all. >> one of the issues raising serious concern about the nextus of the donations to the clintons is how fees paid to the former president for his speeches abroad escalated dramatically after his wife became secretary of state. the fees were often paid by governments and foreign entities with crucial business with the state department. the author of clinton cash said the former president was rewarded at least 11 times with speaking fees of $500,000 from foreign entities after 2009 when
his wife was in the position of secretary of state. is it coincidence in a pattern we see repeated dozens of times where large clinton supporters are -- have business before the state department make large payments and favorable actions are taken? i don't think that coincidences occur that frequently. >> clinton supporter and long time defender lanny davis told chris wallace that the former president and his wife religiously had a wall between them when she was secretary of state. >> i don't think but for a few inadvertent errors they ever violated the agreement on transparency and taking money from foreign governmenters. >> just today, the clinton foundation issued a statement about tax mistakes and admitted to making with donations to the foundation it said and this was a quote. yes, we made mistakes as many organizations of our size do. we're acting quickly to remedy them and have taken steps to ensure they don't happen in the future. we're committed to operating the
foundation responsibly and effectively to continue the life changing work that this philanthropy is doing every day. the foundation added that since secretary clinton decided to add for president, it is disclosing all donors on a quarterly, not yearly basis and will only accept funding from the governments of australia, canada, the nernltherlands, norway and the united kingdom. >> much more to come on this doug thank you. for more on the controversy, watch the "the tangled clinton web" anchored by beth air. you can see it right here on fox news. i want to hear from you at home on this. is it time to launch a formal investigation into the money coming from foreign donors to the clinton foundation and what the clinton foundation did afterwards? tweet us. we'll read all of those tweets and share some of your thoughts
coming up later in the show. you might call it a pilgrimage one of many to iowa. this weekend, they're lining up there for a turn to speak at the faith and freedom coalition. this is a chance to not only woo party activists but the important voters. john roberts is live in iowa for us. is there a common theme or everybody has their own message? >> reporter: everybody had their own message, but there were a lot of common threads that ran through what they were saying. value voters an important voting bloc. they made up 60% of caucusgoers. and the candidates rolled out themes bread and butter issues talking about jobs the which, foreign policy the criticism of the obama presidency but a lot of talk about religious freedoms
last night with the supreme court to hearing oral arguments. urging christians to fight to defend religious freedom. it was a theme that was also highlighted by louisiana governor bobby jindal last night and in a new york times open-ed on thursday thursday. >> there used to be a bipartisan consensus that americans had the right to live their lives according to sincerely held religious beliefs. but the most in indiana was not only that you had leaders giving in but big businesses aligning themselves with the radical level. >> another favorite topic gay marriage, which is at the root of the argument of religious freedom. everyone i talked to said they
would likely attend one. here is what former arkansas governor mike huckabee told me. >> it would be always about who invited me. why did you invite me? and are these close friends. i think all of us have people we worked with who are gay, we have friends who are gay. >> so you consider it? >> i would consider always affirming a friend. i wouldn't affirm their ceremony. >> where do some of the other candidates stand on it? some have attended receptions for gay wedding. rick perry would likely attend one but don't ask me to officiate it. the only person saying they would absolutely -- is rick santorum. >> thanks john appreciate it. this week the senate will debate a bipartisan bill that gives congress input regarding any final nuclear deal with
iran. president obama reluctantly backed the bill but amendments to cause him to yank the support leaving congress out of the loop altogether. senator fisher joins us live. this is an issue of great importance you're tackling this week after the initial measure passed through the committee. let's talk about this amendment process. the president has sort of begrudgingly given his approval to the way it is now. will this change what hasas been drafted so far? >> it is the duty of the united states senate to open up this process, to have amendments and debate. i guess i think the president has done a vote count. he realizes after the negotiations became known to members of congress after we had a briefing by secretary of state john kerry this became more of a
bipartisan concern in the way the negotiations were going. it came out of committee and came out unanimously. we'll follow our process and see how that bill takes shape. >> what do you make of the fact that the iranian leaders talk about what has and hasn't been negotiated so far and what our government is saying. the deal has to include on day one all sanctions are lifted. to doesn't sound like something congress would want to go along with. >> we hear two different things from our side the administration and something different from the supreme leader. we found out these allegations were not set. the administration refers to it as a framework. i would have thought there would have been more concrete in that framework when it was presented now to congress.
i'm very concerned. i'm waiting to see what else the supreme leader will come up with that he will demand of this administration. i hope we will remain firm in what we have for our negotiations. the infrastructure that he has has nuclear capabilities will remain in tact. we'll see over 5,000 centrifuges continue. they're going to put the rest in mothballs won't won't dismantle them. i'm pleased on a bipartisan basis congress knows and is involved. >> last night at the white house, the president talked about jason from the washington post charged and is being held in iran. we know there is a u.s. citizen who is being held in an iranian prison as well. how much pressure do you think they should apply as part of
this deal? >> it is a great tubtopportunity to pressure iran. give us some answers on why they're being held and press for their release. i'm surprised we haven't heard there hasn't been more firmness. >> you voted no on loretta lynch. she was approvaled and will be sworn in this week. why did you vote no and why do you think so many republicans voted yes? >> i had a good conversation with loretta lynch when she came to my office. but i was disturbed by her comments during the confirmation hearing she had in judiciary. the job of the attorney general of the united states to uphold the constitution and the laws of this country. it is not her job to put forth policies and support the policies of the president. the attorney general has a different function i believe,
than the other members of the president's cabinet. they must support his policy. that is their job. it is not the job of the attorney general. and when she made her comments during the confirmation hearing and the judiciary committee, i was really shocked by them. >> she'll soon be sworn in and we'll see how she does function in that role. good to see you. one person is dead and five are still missing off the shores of alabama. a powerful storm capsized several sailboats par sit patticipateing in the race yesterday. they covered more than 2,000 square miles so far. you can see well into the night as well. rapid randy rutledge was in the water
for two hours before he was spotted and rescued. >> i said jesus, you've helped us u.s. the storm subsided just enough that i could keep my head up not drinking too much saltwater. but i had no choice but to hang on to that cushion. i had to find her. >> hanging on to a cushion for two hours. unbelievable. it is still uncheerlear how that one person who is confirmed dead has died. they have not released that person's name. a lot more still to come. the latest in the legal showdown between texas and other states about the action on immigration. we'll talk to a key figure in the fight, former texas attorney general and now governor greg
abbott joins us live coming up. a plea for help from nepal after the deadly quake. we'll talk to the united nations world food program about efforts to try to save lives there. a man died in police custody pleads for calm after protests take a violent turn. >> violence does not get justice. thank you. so when my husband started getting better dental checkups than me i decided to go pro... with crest pro-health advanced. my mouth is getting healthier.
my teeth are getting stronger. this crest toothpaste is superior in five areas. great checkup. when it comes to good nutrition...i'm no expert. that would be my daughter -- hi dad. she's a dietitian. and back when i wasn't eating right, she got me drinking boost. it's got a great taste and it helps give me the nutrition i was missing. helping me stay more like me. [ female announcer ] boost complete nutritional drink has 26 essential vitamins and minerals, including calcium and vitamin d to support strong bones and 10 grams of protein to help maintain muscle. all with
a delicious taste. grandpa! [ female announcer ] stay strong, stay active with boost.
mourners are gathers in baltimore for the viewing of freddie gray. he was critically injured while in police custody and later died. a protest last night started peacefully with thousands of people marching through downtown. but it took a violent turn. officials blame a group of what they call agitators for looting a store, shattering windows and setting a car on fire. gray's family is pleading for calm. police say a total of 34 people were arrested and six officers suffered minor injuries. the daily fight against illegal immigration and drug
trafficking on the southern border continues. and in usual texas style, that state's governor says if the feds aren't doing a good enough job, he'll do it himself. starting a new program with the border patrol called operation drawbridge. to secure the southern border netting major drug busts and stopping countless would be immigrants. the fight on the border mirrors the fight in federal court. taking on the obama administration for executive action on immigration and so far, texas is winning. greg abbott joins us here now. we had the arguments in the federal court of appeals. we have the injunction that came in essentially stopping what the president was doing, where are we now? >> every step along the way texas has been winning. we are at the fifth circuit an argument was made friday a week ago where the federal government the obama administration was coming in trying to put a stay or a stop to the preliminary injunction
issued by the trial judge. >> seems if you listen to the argument we don't know how the judge will vote but others said it went pretty well for you. >> it went well in two ways. it seem all of the court including one judge who was appointed by barack obama seemed to agree that texas did have standing to bring this claim. secondly you can tell by the comments by the judges they seem to agree that texas deserves relief here. and that the obama administration violated the law, violated the constitution by trying to rewrite the immigration laws of the nation and his executive order transgressed or violated the constitution. >> did it live up to the judge's order for the injunction? are they stopping saying we'll let the courts do this or we'll continue to go it alone? >> this is one of the big issues being challenged because what the obama administration got
caught doing is going ahead and issuing more than 100,000 work permits to people contrary to what they represented to the judge. the judge is extremely upset about this. and weighing evidence now to consider what type of sanctions to impose on the obama administration for misrepresenting the fact that the obama administration granted work permits contrary to -- >> still granting work permits. >> a subject fought out in courts in the coming weeks. our impression is they are issuing work permits and doing that the federal judge will bring down the hammer. >> we're looking at the list of states that joined you. texas on the front line of the border debate. you have the longest border with anyone down there. almost more than a thousand miles. my question is this you have this program called operation drawbridge 2014 88,000 pounds of drugs were seized.
more than 30,000 people stopped. my question is this for so long we hear we can't secure the border. it is too difficult on and on and on. are you proving everyone wrong on that? >> we're finding we're able to secure the border. we have a border security plan in the legislative session right now, that i've offered up that i think will pass. it will add more than 500 more -- what those pictures show is the result of operation drawbridge. we have about a thousand cameras now. we want to add 4,000 more cameras. we're using that video, we have ways in which we can track exactly what is going on. >> do you feel like you're having to do something the federal government should be and isn't? >> absolutely. protecting the sovereignty of the united states of america is in the united states constitution itself. and the barack obama administration has failed to fulfill that duty. texans are having to come out of
pocket to the tune of almost a billion dollars to pay for a federal responsibility. >> a lot of money. governor greg abbott of texas, thank you for your time. your fight will continue and we'll check back in. coming up supplies and relief workers begin pouring into nepal. given the scope of the tragedy, it is going to be a difficult job. we'll speak to the united nations world food program about efforts so save lives. increased security at l.a.x. possible isis threat. we'll talk to texas congressman will herr. and a look at some of the best laughs coming up. the washington hilton is great. i bet when the president walked in and saw the bell hop, he thought, finally, some decent security.

fox news alert. as feared the death toll from the massive earthquake in nepal is rising. it now stand at more than 2500. residents are already creme mating the dead while others dig through rubble in desperate searches for the missing. tons of relief supplies are headed to katmandu but the airport can't handle all the traffic. the u.s. is sending a disaster relief team and $1 million in aid to get things started. joining us now is the chief spokesperson for the u.n. world food program in america, betina luisa. i understand you already -- there were assets being positioned in the area because there were fears something like this could happen. could you tell us about those preparations? >> less than a month ago, we started an open humanitarian staging area. our experts have been working for years with the nepalese
government and our other colleagues on preparing the country for exactly this kind of situation. so at the airport we have warehouses equipment and other things because the airport is the crucial entry point into the country. that's where the relief supplies will be coming in. and have already started to come in. those warehouses are storing those relief plies so then get them on to other partners. the world food program not only does food aid but we do logistical help. we help them get their people and their staff deep into the areas that have been damaged. our teams are on the ground. and working on this. but the interesting thing is we have seen in nepal for decades, we have more than 100 people on the ground even before this disaster struck. we were already helping half a million nepalese with you know children mothers, babies give
them good nutrition, help schoolchildren. so you see what needs -- and this year will trigger a big massive aid operation. >> well how fortuitous you had been planting roots there over time and beefing up your logistics teams and things on the ground. at this point, we're going to put up a website, so folks now how they can donate through you. we'll make sure they see that on the screen. but at this point, what are the greatest needs? i can't imagine that getting clean water out, the basic necessities of day to day life at this point, are those the most critical? >> the most important now is to have these rescue teams on the ground looking for survivors. then crucially important and we will help with that is what other aid organizations bring, shelter material. you've probably seen the video. people are sleeping on the street. our own aid workers are telling us they spent the night outside,
cold night, rainy, it is really amazing when you hear some of the stories. one of my colleagues said when the earthquake shook him she was in a supermarket. had to walk outside. she said those were the ten longest yards in her life the longest three meters of her life because she felt as if she were on a rocky boat. the walls were like rubber she said. these people were already there, our aid workers, our colleagues. they slept outside and started working on this big aid operation. we have the work going on. one thing i wanted to show you, something practical, what we'll be flying in are these high energy biscuits here. they cost a few cents. 450 calories. they will keep you alive. this is for situations when people have lost their homes, their cooking utensils lost
everything. they don't need to be cooked don't need water, but you get it and you'll survive. it is important we find out what is happening in the outlying areas. areas hard to reach in the mountain for example, many roads have been destroyed. we have to see we get with helicopters, probably to the outlying area and we have lots of experience with this. in the past for example, we use the mountaineers that went from ropes down and helicopters to reach people and cut off mountain villages. we have to see whether that would be something. the important thing is the world has to come together. i want to thank you. you always invite us when there is a big disaster and your viewers have always donated. the world needs to come together for this to help the people in nepal. they are among the poorest in the world. they need our help now. but help is arriving. >> well we thank you for your efforts and we know that probably unfortunately the story
is only going to get more grim before it turns around. we have the link up there on the screen we tweeted it out as well. and hopefully folks will help. thank you so much. >> thank you so much shannon, for having me. >> reports from l.a.x. show increased security this week because of intelligence regarding a possible home grown isis threat against parts of the west coast. the department of homeland security will only comment vaguely on the report. but admits new security measures at home and abroad over the past few months include random screening on fights bound for the united states. this comes as it seems almost every week brings another american arrested for either trying to help isis or applaud an inspired attack by the group. it is a problem across the country. from new york to ohio to wisconsin we have seen arrests. will helrr is on the homeland
security committee. we have been lucky to arrest all these folks before they carried out an attack inspired by isis. is one going to get lucky sometime? >> i hope not. our intelligence services our military our law enforcement officials are working hard on this program. it is the number one problem we face right now from a foreign policy and national security perspective and everybody is working hard on this issue. >> when you say the number one threat americans agree with you. i want to put out this poll. does iran or isis pose a real security threat to the united states? 81% say isis does. 65% say iran does. are we doing enough in terms of going after, not only the threat from isis sending fighters abroad but the self-radicalized individuals? >> i think we can always do more. >> suggestions? >> i think part of it overseas is as we need to look at the fight against isis the fight
against al qaeda in 2001. when we invaded afghanistan back in 2001 when all the taliban was put out, we killed 30% of al qaeda leadership there were 400 americans on the ground. 100 cia, 300 special forces. we were able to do that by working with local partners. we should be working further with folks in the region to go after the threat and eradicate it there locally in syria. and iraq before they even get close to our shores. >> i'm interested in this, i know you spent a lot of time in the region in dangerous places. we hear reports, kobani may fall tikrit mosul. all the towns seem abstract in the sense of what does it matter if isis controls this town or that town to somebody in ohio. but it seems as though it matters a lot in terms of their ability to recruit and those kinds of things. >> it is a big recruiting tool for them. shows they're being effective. the more land they can control, the more training they can do.
the better equipped they can become and they attract more people. that's what i think makes isis scary from some of the other groups like al qaeda is their ability to get their message out. i was chasing al qaeda, when i was an undercover officer in the cia, and they would do night letters. they would write a letter leave it on someone's doorstep. you can hit a couple hundred people a night that way. with isis and the way they're -- >> incredible. >> tens of millions of people. >> unbelievable production value. i know you're heading to iraq later this week. what do you hope to learn? what are you going to bring back? >> part of this is part of a task force on looking at the foreign fighter pipeline going into iraq and syria to work with isis. and primarily americans. we have identified at least 200 americans that have gone into the region to work with isis. >> you think we have identified everyone? you think there is americans we don't know about? >> probably americans we don't know about. this is one reason we're doing this review to talk with some of
the partner nations in those regions. making sure that they're doing absolutely everything they can. do they have the border controls in place -- >> turkey, jordan, all those kinds of places. >> safe travels. come back and tell us what you find out. thank you. still to come the supreme court gets ready for one of the most anticipated cases of this term. the justices hear arguments on same sex marriage. we have a fair and balanced look at what's at stake.
we were below the 88th southern parallel. we had traveled for over 850 miles. my men driven nearly mad from starvation and frostbite. today we make history. >>bienvenidos! welcome to the south pole! if you're dora the explorer, you explore. it's what you do. >>what took you so long? if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car . . . the real question that needs to be
asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do.
you're here to buy a car. what would help is simply being able to recognize a fair price. truecar has pricing data on every make and model so all you have to do is search for the car you want there it is. now you're an expert in less than a minute. this is truecar. on tuesday, the supreme court will hear what is likely to be the most controversial case of this term. whether or not there is a constitutional right to same sex marriage and whether states that have banned it have a constitutional duty to recognize same sex marriages in states where it is legal. they have been performed there. here for a fair and balanced debate is elizabeth winerick of
the accountability center. i'll see you at the arguments on tuesday. >> thank you for having us. >> absolutely. >> elizabeth, i know you feel and advocated for the fact there is a constitutional right for same sex couples to be married and have that recognized in all 50 states. what is your best argument. >> the constitution clearly in its text guarantees equality for any person. that's man or woman, black or white, straight or gay. and when you apply that text in history to marriage as the supreme court has done when it unanimously struck down interracial couples from getting married, it is clear that gay and less ban couples enjoy the same right to marry the person they love athat straight couples do. while some arguments have been ahead that states should be able to choose for themselves whether or not marriage is open to all or can be restricted that's not how the constitution works. the supreme court said over and over that states or federal
governments cannot use a democratic process to write law. that's not how it works. the reason why we put fundamental rights in our constitution is so we don't have to ask our neighbor's permission to enjoy those rights. it is right for couples to go to the supreme court and ask that they be vindicated. i think the court will be on the right side of the law and the right side of history here. >> brian, i know you and others believe that there are distinguishing facts and legal considerations with regard to some of the cases that elizabeth cited. what is your best counter? >> the supreme court was right to strike down the -- race has nothing to do with what marriage is there are no good arguments what so ever to suggest that race had something to do with marriage. that's not like the debate right now. the discussion now is about sexual complementarity. everybody thought it was a man and a wife, a mother and a
father. appealing to the equal protection clause of the constitution doesn't tell us at all whether or not marriage needs to be redefined. when the court struck down the bans on interracial marriage they said there was no good arguments whatsoever to support those. there are very good arguments for thinking marriage is between a man and a woman, or genderless. the constitution is silent on that. whether the constitution is silent it resolves to the people and the recollected representatives to make policies. this debate is unlike the interracial marriage debate this needs to be solved in the state by the people not by nine unelected judges in d.c. >> i want to give you both a chance to answer. if you can keep it quick on this one. elizabeth, spoondrespond to those who say this is opening the door. if they recognize it has constitutional protects that it would be tougher to argue against something like polygamy. how do you respond? >> look i think that equal
protection for men and women is something that is firmly entrenched in the supreme court. case law, when you are being discriminated against as justice kennedy said in the decision striking down the key provision of the defense of marriage act in 2013 when states passed laws like this they put a badge of inferiority on families and that class focused type of legislation are simply prohibited by the plain text in the history of the constitution. it is not controversial. that part is clear. if you read the debates of the framers who wrote the 14th amendment. i think the supreme court will vindicate those guarantees of quality and liberty written into the constitution. >> how do you answer those who say it is a done deal no way you can get five justices to your side of this argument in this case? >> i think if you read what justice kennedy said two years ago and apply his own logic there, the conclusion is that justice kennedy and four other
justices should uphold the state marriage laws. justice kennedy said the problem with the federal defense of marriage act is that it was disregarding state authority over marriage. he said some of the states had voted to redefine marriage and the federal government needed to recognize those state's definition definitions. you can't say the states don't have the authority to define marriage accurately. this is unlike any of the other debates we had had because they're good reasons on both sides of this debate. they're fl are good reasons for thinking marriage is about a man and a woman, husband and wife, mother and father. these judges shouldn't be saying there aren't. >> i'll see the two of you at court on friday and i thank you for a civilized debate from both sides. thank you. >> thank you. >> stronger storms continue their sweep across much of the united states this weekend. and the heavy rain is putting a real damper on all sorts of springtime festivityies. we'll have a live forecast. janice dean is coming up.

Me Month is turning into Not Reading Much Month, which would be fine if I was entertaining myself with other fun activities, but mostly I've been drowning in snot.

Georgia College Hires Staton as Athletic Director
MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - Georgia College & State University President Dr. Dorothy Leland and Dr. Bruce Harshbarger, Vice President for Student Affairs announced today the hiring of Wendell Staton as Director of Athletics for the University's 10-sport Division II athletic department.
Staton comes to Georgia College from UNC Pembroke, in Pembroke, N.C. where he has served as Associate Vice Chancellor for Advancement since 2005.
"We're delighted to have Wendell joining us to lead our Athletics program," said Dr. Harshbarger. "He brings an unusually broad background in collegiate athletics, community leadership and university advancement work, and all of those skills will be important assets that will benefit the future of GCSU Athletics."
Prior to his work in the advancement office at UNCP, Staton was the Director of Recreation and Parks in Lumberton, N.C. for three years. He served at UNC Pembroke as a coach and lecturer; headed up the golf program, served as men's basketball assistant and taught in the Health, Physical Education and Recreation program from 1996-2002.
Staton earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1990 from St. Andrews Presbyterian College, and added a Master of Edu cation degree from Georgia College in 1993.
"I would like to thank Dr. Leland and Dr. Harshbarger for the opportunity to lead the Georgia College & State University Athletic Department," said Staton. "As an alumnus and former member of the coaching staff, I have great affection for the University and Milledgeville. My family and I are excited about joining the community."
Staton is no stranger to Georgia College athletics, having served as a men's basketball assistant coach from 1991-93 under head coach Mark Simons. He coached at Armstrong Atlantic State University, Elon University and Campbell University.
"Georgia College has been a model of consistency on and off the playing field," added Staton. "I look forward to working with the faculty, staff, community, alumni and friends, student-athletes, and coaches as we strive to continue the success and rich tradition of Bobcat Athletics."
Staton becomes just the sixth Athletic Director in the 40-year history of Georgia College Athletics. He takes over a program that won the 2008-09 Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Commissioner's Cup, the all-sports trophy for excellence on the playing field. Georgia College is perennially one of the top academic institutions in the league as well, and placed 92 student-athletes on the coveted PBC Presidential Honor Roll in 2008-09. Staton brings to Georgia College a great familiarity with the conference having worked at PBC-member institutions for 16 years.
Staton is married to the former Yvette Renaud. Their children are Ellen, age 16, and Charlie, age 14.
The GCSU Department of Athletics, winners of the 2008-09 PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level.

Q: Equivalent of UNIX_TIMESTAMP function for H2 DB? Does anyone know any proper substitute of MySQL's UNIX_TIMESTAMP(time_val) for H2, such that applying that function on a JDBC timestamp returns a unix epoch from 00:00:00 01 Jan 1970?

A: DATEDIFF('SECOND', DATE '1970-01-01', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP())

as answered here: CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in milliseconds in h2
or here: https://gitlab.com/romain.rinie/h2database/issues/211

A: I've tried the other answer and the result wasn't accurate. In the other answer I get the timestamp in my local time zone (GMT+3 in my case), so it's not the same as the Unix timestamp (in milliseconds). In my answer, I get the result in UTC.
This would give you the correct current UNIX epoch:
SELECT EXTRACT (EPOCH from CURRENT_TIMESTAMP())

'3 Kings' exhibition brings NYC street art to the spaces of sunny LA
Street Art is flavour of the year in Los Angeles, writes Liz Farrelly, thanks to a series of high-profile exhibitions.
Jeffrey Deitch, previously a genre-busting gallerist, is now director of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA). In his first year on the job, Deitch recognised that street art would fulfil his aim of 'engaging new audiences'. This summer's blockbuster exhibition 'Art in the Streets' did just that, delivering a record-breaking attendance figure of more than 200,000).
In August, 'Street Cred: graffiti art from concrete to canvas' at the Pasadena Museum of California Art (PMCA), featured more than 30 LA-based street artists. Artist / writer Steve Grody (Graffiti LA: street styles and art, 2007) wrote that LA is now the 'bona fide capital for street art in the US', citing its cultural diversity, its graffiti-friendly (read 'out of the way') environments and 'weather that makes most of the year available for mischief'.
That may be the case, but '3 Kings', the current exhibition at Subliminal Projects Gallery (hosted by Amanda and Shepard Fairey), provides LA's street art fans with a history (and geography) lesson.

Below: Lee Quinones, The Creation of Three Mile (Glenn Strange portrait as the monster), 1989. Spray paint on linen; 120" x 96".
The three graffiti 'kings' are: Fred Brathwaite, aka Fab 5 Freddy; Lee Quinones, aka LEE; and Leonard McGurr, aka Futura 2000. Guest curator Patti Astor, founder of the FUN Gallery has drawn on the culture clash between 'uptown' (Bronx) artists and musicians and 'downtown' (East Village) film-makers and gallerists that happened two-and-half thousand miles away, in New York City, 30 years ago.
Below: Lee Quinones, The Lying King, 2009. Spray paint on cut out Arches paper; 25" x 20".
For the past three decades, Brathwaite, Quinones and McGurr have produced monumental graffiti pieces (Quinones painted whole subway cars, then entire trains, and was first to move to canvas); introduced stylistic change (McGurr pioneered abstraction and customized nozzles to deliver super-fine marks); and disseminated their art across media to audiences worldwide.
Brathwaite (who co-starred in Blondie's 'Rapture' video) hosted 'Yo, MTV Raps!' and co-created the movie Wild Style; Quinones' 1979 show at Galleria Medusa in Rome brought street art to Europe; and McGurr's collaborations with The Clash and James Lavelle (Mo'Wax, see Eye 33) attached a new visual language to popular music, creating some of the most sort-after sleeve art of the 1990s (in collaboration with Ben Drury). Futura also pioneered street art's crossover into fashion and accessories, working with clothing and collectables brands in the US and Japan, including Project Dragon and A Bathing Ape.
Below: Leonard (Futura 2000) McGurr, Panic Button, 2011. Acrylic and spray paint on canvas; 132" x 120".
Curator Patti Astor, who once starred in low-budget 'No Wave' movies, opened FUN Gallery, the East Village's first art venue (1981-85) with partner Bill Stelling. A tenement storefront on 10th Street between Second and Third Avenues, FUN introduced the roll-call of first-generation NY graffiti artists to protagonists who would kick-start careers and change lives, including artist Keith Haring, gallerist Barbara Goldstone, and Martha Cooper and Henry Chalfant (photographers / authors of Subway Art, 1988).
Without FUN Gallery, and the early-80s downtown scene, New York's nascent graffiti and hip-hop subcultures might not have made those cross-cultural connections with Punk, No Wave Cinema, photojournalism and underground art – the factors that brought it out of the Bronx and helped it grow into the multiple-media street art industries of today. With '3 Kings', the artists have avoided a nostalgia trip by creating new works to hang alongside their classics.

An article on science and biblical interpretation caught my eye last week (Oct. 13, 2013) not because Dr. Jason Lisle is a "young earth" creationist (he is the director of research at the Institute of Creation Research), an untenable position from my perspective, but because of his claim that people should not "rely on science rather than the Bible to answer questions about our origin, even for just parts." Let me cite a portion of the article.
A "young earth" creationist, who also believes the universe is much younger than many astronomers calculate, says once people begin to rely on science rather than the Bible to answer questions about our origin, even for just parts, they are asking for trouble.
"It's a very slippery slope when you decide that there are some sections of the Bible that you are going to allow the secular scientist to tell you what it really means," said Dr. Jason Lisle, during an interview with the press shortly after his debate at the National Conference on Christian Apologetics with astronomer and pastor Dr. Hugh Ross, who argued for a universe that is nearly 15 billion years old.
"You've opened a very dangerous door," Lisle continued. "Basically, you've decided to say that 'I'm going to make the secular scientist my ultimate standard by which I interpret the scriptures' and if you are consistent with that, and most people are not, thank goodness, but if you are well, hey, most scientists don't believe the resurrection of the dead is possible."
In other words, people become susceptible to their own interpretations of the Bible at other points in its books and chapters as well.
"in a sense it's not. You know, believing in six days [for the creation of the earth] is not a requirement for salvation … God makes it very clear in His word – we're saved by His grace received through faith in Christ and not by works. It's not requiring to have our theology exactly right, but that doesn't mean we should be sloppy in our theology. The time scale of creation does have an effect on Christian theology," he said.
"I would argue that although you can be saved apart from believing in six days, in a way, salvation does not make sense apart from creation in six days. If you believe in millions of years, if you believe the fossils are millions of years old, you have death before Adam sinned, in which case death cannot be the result of Adam's sin if it was already there for millions of years. If death is not the penalty for sin then why did Jesus die on the cross?
"The Gospel message which is predicated on death being the penalty for sin and Christ paying that for us. That itself is predicated on Creation, that goes back to a literal Genesis," Lyle concluded.
I wanted to outline the article carefully because I think there are a number of faulty or limited assumptions and claims made about the nature and process of biblical interpretation and its relationship to science and also one significant point he makes about the relationship of the age of the earth to Christian doctrine.
The one significant point he makes is about the possible or potential implications of the age of the universe for Christian teaching about original sin and the purpose of Jesus' death on the cross if physical death was not "the penalty for sin" but had existed for millions of years. There are possible answers to this problem, but he has here pointed out a significant theological issue.
1) Should we rely on the Bible rather than on science to answer questions about our origin? I think there is often a mistake about what the Bible is and what the Bible is intended to answer and this is related to the various genres of biblical literature. At some level, Genesis does tell us about our origin: creation was the purpose oriented result of a loving God, who created this world as very good. These are theological claims about the nature of creation, but it does not seem that Genesis can answer the questions related to the processes of creation. We can see the theological impetus in the mythological nature of the creation accounts, and that there is more than one creation account for instance in Genesis 1-3, but the claim that science has nothing to teach us suggests that interpretation is a literalistic enterprise, obvious to any reader and intended to be read as an historical narrative and not as a mythic-poetical theological account.
Such a reading is also anti-rational, in that it proposes that whatever reason can propose to us, in this case the empirical processes of natural science, must be rejected a priori because they disagree with a literalistic, historical reading of Genesis 1-3. This leads to the second assumption.
2) Is it problematic to let secular scientists tell us what some sections of the Bible really mean? I must admit that I interpret the Bible, not with an eye toward secular scientists, but with my full attention on the text of the Bible, using all of the resources available to an interpreter, such as historical context, the creation myths of other ancient peoples, the literary genre of the text, and human reason. Human reason is where secular science might come into play, but it is not because they are "scientists" as such, but because what such scientists propose about the nature of reality seems reasonable. The reality is that we all must pay attention to reason and the reasonableness of our claims. We can certainly have foundational disagreements about what we accept as reasonable evidence for interpreting biblical texts, but the fact that evidence begins with scientists does not mean that they are "interpreting" biblical texts, only that we accept some of their evidence as valuable for interpreting certain texts. There is a major difference in these stances, as I still accept the revealed nature of the Bible, which many scientists (and non-scientists for that matter) would find unreasonable, but which I find reasonable to maintain along with some scientific evidence about the age of the cosmos and the origin of human beings through the processes of evolution. The fact that I see evolution and creation guided by God would set me apart from many scientists, yet I see it as reasonable, and can accept both the theological claims of Genesis and the scientific claims of science.
3) The claim that if people pay attention to science they "become susceptible to their own interpretations of the Bible at other points in its books and chapters as well" supposes that Lisle does not have his own interpretation of the Bible, but "an" interpretation of the Bible which is "the" biblical interpretation. This sort of naïve realism is common among some interpreters, who do not see themselves as influenced by bias, prejudice, limitations of understanding, or their own historical time period, but only by "the truth," or "the proper interpretation" of the Bible. Yet, all biblical interpretation is personally and historically conditioned and has not always been agreed upon or accepted at other stages of history. This is not a relativistic position, but one that takes into account perspective and the need to constantly have one's own interpretations placed under scrutiny in the cold light of evidence and reason.
4) So is it true that science causes you "to make certain assumptions"? It does; it makes the assumption that you will pay attention to evidence, even if, ultimately, you reject that evidence or disagree with that evidence. If scientific evidence is the product of human reason then we ought to pay attention to that evidence. Science does not cause you, however, to make the assumption of a non-theistic world, if that is what Lisle means by "make certain assumptions." All interpreters make certain assumptions about the world. I assume that there is a God and that the Bible was revealed by God through human beings in history; I also assume that this world can be studied and understood empirically, although that is not the extent of human knowledge or knowing.
I would suggest that Lisle reads the Bible with a number of assumptions – that it is the literal world of God, that it is inerrant, etc., - and that he would be willing to support these assumptions if called upon. Every interpreter brings assumptions to his or her reading of the text and science, which relies upon reason, is one of the assumptions that rational readers of the Bible must bring to the biblical text, that is, that the biblical God acts in ways which make sense to human readers, though they ways of God are not always obvious or clear. If rationality does not underlie our reading of the Bible, it is not clear how interpreters can speak to one another.
5) One assumption I do not make, however, is that the Bible is a "history book…written by God." There is history in the Bible, and there are historical realities upon which Christian faith is based, but not every text in the Bible is intended as "history" or as "historical." Some passages are mythic, some are poetic, some are prophetic, and some are historical. This does make the task of the interpreter more complex, as the interpreter must make decisions and arguments as to the genre of the text and propose why a text must be construed in one way or another, but it is the proper task of the interpreter. I would certainly argue for the historicity of Jesus' life, crucifixion and resurrection, though not every interpreter would, and this is the job of the interpreter.
The second issue is what is meant by the Bible being a book "written by God." This implies that God has transcribed the Bible, or inspired human beings almost as automatons to write the Bible as directed by God. The nature of inspiration is a difficult issue for Christians of all sorts, Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Evangelical, but the general Christian understanding is that human beings used all of their abilities, knowledge, skill and personality to write texts which are, in some way, guided by God, but that these are texts which emerge from and reflect the historical time periods in which they are written, the scientific limitations of those ages, and actual skills and abilities of the authors. If the claim that the Bible is a book "written by God" is meant to suggest that there is no human involvement in the writing of the Bible, this does not make sense of the human production of the texts or the actual texts in their historical context.
These are all excellent questions, but for those of us who have thought the answers of human origins in Catholic theology were more clearly in line with the findings of evolutionary theory, there seems to be more ambiguity than I was aware. Even if Catholic theology is long beyond Mohler's unease that the Bible is more than history or his rejection of evolutionary theory, it seems that the questions he asks regarding Adam and Eve still have answers vaguely similar to his.
The theological issues Lisle raises are significant, but biblical interpretation will not be able to answer them if it rejects science out of hand, for the rejection of science as such is the rejection of reason and biblical interpretation must rely on reason. There is no other option.

Andrew Gurr's ground-breaking book draws on the most up-to-date research to provide a general history of company development from the 1560s, when the first of the major companies belonging to great lords began regularly to offer their plays at court and in London, to 1642, when by Act of Parliament they were closed down. Only in London were the playing companies able to secure purpose-built premises (such as The Globe or The Fortune), and to foster a thriving theatrical and literary culture (in direct contrast to much of the rest of England, which was overtly hostile to professional theatre). In the second part of the volume, the reader will find detailed and fascinating accounts of each of the forty companies that played in London during the period, including Shakespeare's company, The Chamberlain's/King's Men. Although professional playing was very much a collective endeavour, remarkable individuals emerge, from impresarios such as Philip Henslowe, Christopher Beeston, Richard Gunnell, and Richard Heton to stars like Richard Burbage and Edward Alleyn. Thoroughly grounding his discussion in the highly mobile social and political historical context, Gurr focuses on the plays themselves and the distinctive repertory traditions that led the different companies to stage them. These companies, and the growth of the London theatrical culture, are the factors which helped produce Shakespeare and to put into practice Shakespearian conceptions of drama. This fascinating and authoritative volume will take its place as an indispensable reference work and the authoritative history for all scholars and students of Renaissance - and Shakespearian - drama.

Reviews of Mindscape
"[A] dazzling work of science fiction…an intoxicating, almost hallucinogenic journey into a vision of Earth's future…Those familiar with Hairston's plays will recognize her style here: sweeping and poetic, multi-dimensional, tackling complex issues of race, gender and politics…It's an enormous vision that Hairston offers to us, and a beautiful one. The book is a complicated message of redemption and hope for humanity."
—The Women's Times (Northampton, MA), February 2006
"African American playwright Hairston's first novel blends speculative science with socially aware fiction to create a panoramic story that is at once personally relevant and philosophically significant. The author's lush prose and multicultural background make this a strong addition to most sf collections."
—Library Journal, March 15, 2006
"[We] engage with an ensemble cast of sufficient originality and variety to please a whole range of SFados from hard sf to queer feminist postcolonial…These folk are enmeshed in a plotline of great complexity and great swaths of originality, presented through a headlong and ferociously vivid mise-en-scene." —New York Review of Science Fiction, October 2006
"The novel effectively represents a world forever changed by a mysterious force, yet also reflects some contemporary issues, including poverty, violence, unemployment, as well as the need for reforms in the education system. With a strong storyline and unique vision, Mindscape is an engaging novel that simultaneously explores the future and questions the present." (read the whole review)
—Langston Hughes Colloquy, Volume 7, 2006
" Mindscape traverses the author's prodigious imagination and touches on all the themes that have filled her multidisciplinary, cross-cultural plays for three decades. The book, published last week by Aqueduct Press, is her first novel—yet another instrument in the repertoire of this prolific poet-playwright-actor-director-percussionist-scholar." (read the whole review)
—Valley Advocate, March 9, 2006
"Wide screen, big questions, bigger answers and characters who have to literally save the world from an alien force as large as the world."(read the whole review)
—The Agony Column, January 25, 2006
"Andrea Hairston's Mindscape starts with a vision of the way things ought to be and then takes us along on the amazing journey that must be undertaken to make that vision a reality. Her ability to fully imagine an alternate reality without sacrificing the familiar words and rhythms that provide outsiders a way into the story make this a book not just for true believers, but for those who still think they 'don't like science fiction.' After Mindscape, my guess is they'll see how meaningless such categories are. In the presence of a visionary author like Andrea Hairston, all you have to like is good writing!"
—Pearl Cleage, What Looks Like Crazy On An Ordinary Day and Baby Brother's Blues
"What rich and provocative territory this amazingly written first novel explores, what memorable characters it compels us to confront—renegade gene scientists and ethnic throwbacks, slippery politicos and 'expendable' Extras, ghost dancers and double consciousness diviners conjuring through an enigmatic veil—each struggling in complex circumstances to navigate survival, identity, and self in a world thrown off its course, each speaking in distinct voices that stay with you long after you've left their unforgettable stories. Science fiction at its best, Andrea Hairston's MINDSCAPE makes you want to cuss AND shout for joy—its vision, raw humanity, and ultimate hopefulness are exhilarating. What a pleasure it is to be invited into a world so large and muscular, so sensual and rooted in global history, a world in which not only the future but the past is at stake."

Title: Women's Issues
Category: 2. Promotion of Peace and Democracy: Social Issues
URL: http://www.wix.com/arramdreyer/womensissues
Bibliography: http://www.wix.com/arramdreyer/womensissues#!bibliography
School: Menchville High School
Newport News, Virginia, United States of America
4 students, ages all students are 18 worked together to complete this Doors to Diplomacy project on March 12, 2012. They have participated in Doors to Diplomacy in the following year(s): 2011
Classes and Teachers: Mr. Dreyer, Ariel, Chelsea, Alex, Nick
Our School's Web Site: http://mville.nn.k12.va.us/
Our team consisted of Chelsea, Ariel, Nick, and Alex. We joined together to do this project because three of us took a class called international relations taught by our coach. We read a book called Half the Sky in the class and our coach suggested that we make a website about women's issues for the Doors to Diplomacy Project. Ariel, Nick, and Alex made interactive maps, researched information, and made movies as class projects based on the book. Chelsea joined the team because she is good at making movies and she was interested in the project. She made a movie about human trafficking by herself.
Our project is about issues impacting women around the world. The project focuses on four major areas; human trafficking, access to education, gender equality in the workforce, and political participation.
A. Percentage of students using the Internet at home:more than 50%
D. Number of years our classroom has been connected to the Internet:more than 6
Our team had very few barriers to overcome. We all have internet access with high speed connections at home. One problem we encountered was that the school blocked the wix.com website so we could not work on the project during school time. This made it much more difficult to coordinate time and work together as a group.
Reading the book Half the Sky in class and completing this project has definitely opened our eyes to the issues women face in most of the world. Most of the problems we describe in the website are not evident in the United States therefore they are not issues that we think about on a daily basis. Two of our members are also males and we think it helped them understand in some small part how women are treated in the world.
Researching and compiling this website supported many major national content standards. This website helped us understand time, continuity, and change as it is related to the struggle for women's rights. We were able to see how women's rights have developed in Europe and North America and how it is still developing around the world. This website also helped us understand global connections because it talks about human rights, healthcare, and political awareness. In addition this project was directly related to our school curriculum in international relations because one aspect of international relations is to study global social issues.
We found that the best and most reliable information was from government reports such as the global gender gap report. Reports from the United Nations and the U.S. Department of Justice and State provided reliable statistics and a good starting point. In terms of technology we used computers with internet access and the website wix.com, which is a free software tool to make flash websites from templates. In class we used iMovie to make videos about women's issues and google interactive maps to make the rollover maps on the website.
We feel that to be a good ambassador we must first be well informed on the subject. Therefore, reading the book Half the Sky and making this website is only a first step in getting the information out to the world. We hope that this website will be used next year in class and it can be used as a platform to raise awareness in schools around Newport News.
We have not shown our website to anyone yet because it is not complete. However, as stated in a previous entry we feel like this website will be a great platform for introducing high school students to the issues faced by women around the world. We do feel like this project will make a different because even if no one sees the website it has already helped us understand women's issues. We can be advocates for women around the world in our daily life.
We could not have completed this website without the help of our coach, Mr. Dreyer. He showed has how to make google interactive maps in class and how to make movies using iMovie software. We would also like to thank Mr. Doering, a media specialist at Menchville who helped us use the green screen on one of the iMovies and edit the movies.


What does profit sharing mean? It's pretty simple actually; the better the company performs, the better the biannual cash bonuses are. And since we want you stay with us for the long haul, they get better the longer you're here, too. Not bad, right?
Aside from it being a "nice" thing to do, we have our reasons to want to share the wealth. Namely, we want to literally put our money where our mouths are. We tell our employees on a regular basis how much we value them, that they're our greatest assets. But this is one of the ways we can show them. It's fair. We reward their hard work. And in helping us make our dreams come true – the dream of making great products and making the world laugh – we can help them catch their big dreams too. No matter if it's a trip to South America or a new car.
Since 2009, our company has grown dramatically. We've achieved over 7.7 billion game downloads and over 23.2 billion views of our video content. And we've got even bigger plans for the future. Plans that will need the very best talents in areas as wide-ranging as art, development, product and analytics. Plans that could include you.


Now is a great time to see Jupiter in the night sky, as the planet reaches opposition on Wednesday, May 9.
Opposition means that Jupiter sits opposite the Sun in the sky. So tonight, as the Sun sets in the west, Jupiter can be found rising in the east. It's lovely and bright, outshining all the stars of the night sky.
In fact, opposition also means that Jupiter is at its closest to Earth, making the planet shine even more brilliantly than usual. So be sure to look east over the next few weeks to catch Jupiter at its best.
Also catching Jupiter at its best will be NASA's spacecraft, Juno. After a five-year journey, Juno entered orbit around Jupiter in mid-2016.
It's the second spacecraft to orbit Jupiter (after Galileo in 1995), but importantly it's the first to orbit Jupiter's poles, allowing us to see a part of the planet that can't be seen from Earth.
Juno has shown us that Jupiter's colourful bands – the clearly defined belts and zones (the dark and light bands, respectively) circling the bulk of the planet – give way to a striking configuration of cyclones at each of Jupiter's poles.
Discovering cyclones at the top and bottom of Jupiter is not completely unexpected, but what's surprising is their stability and the patterns they have formed.
At the north pole, one central cyclone is surrounded by eight outer cyclones. In the south, the central cyclone has five others encircling it.
These cyclones are huge – the southern ones range from 5,600km to 7,000km in diameter; that's about as wide as Mars. The northern ones are slightly smaller, with diameters of around 4,000km to 4,600km. The wind speeds are as great as 350km per hour.
Also, the pattern itself is highly stable and shows barely any motion. Even though there's a central cyclone churning around the pole, its motion doesn't seem to be pushing the outer cyclones to circle around it (a la "Ring a Ring o' Roses"). If they are circling the pole, then they must be drifting very slowly.
The other exciting thing about Juno is that it was built to probe the inner depths of Jupiter. One way it does this is by intricately mapping Jupiter's gravitational field to a precision 100 times better than ever before.
Every 53 days, Juno carries out a stunning Jupiter flyby. The probe takes two hours to travel from one pole to the other, zipping past at more than 200,000km/h and skimming just 4,000km above Jupiter's cloud tops.
The latest Jupiter flyby (from April, 2018) shown in 70 seconds. NASA/JPL/SwRI/MSSS/SPICE/Gerald Eichstädt.
As Juno races by the planet it feels the gravitational tug of Jupiter. It speeds up slightly when flying over regions of high mass and slows down wherever the mass drops off.
These tiny changes in Juno's speed are measured using a kind of interplanetary radar gun; Juno transmits a radio signal of a certain frequency and when it arrives here on Earth, any change to that frequency alerts us to Juno's changing speed.
If we think about Earth, there is a clear distinction between the clouds, the atmosphere, and the rocky planet itself.
But being made of gas, Jupiter is essentially all atmosphere. By definition, the planet begins when the atmospheric pressure of its gas equals 1 bar. That's equivalent to the pressure we feel at sea level on Earth.
This provides a kind of surface for Jupiter, as such, although it is biased by our Earthling viewpoint. Juno is already giving us much better insights into how Jupiter is truly structured.
Previously what we've seen of Jupiter, the banded belts and zones, are the cloud tops sitting just above the planet's "surface". They circle around the planet, with alternate bands moving in opposite directions.
Juno's data has shown that this banding continues deep into Jupiter, appearing to be much more than just a thin layer of weather (that's driven by the Sun).
;Swirling clouds of Jupiter from Voyager 1 (1979). NASA/JPL/Björn Jónsson/Ian Regan.
Juno's gravity mapping was separated into two components: a static component, modelled as Jupiter's gas rotating as one; and a dynamic component, arising from flows.
The dynamic component was revealed by a north-south asymmetry in Jupiter's gravity field. What that means is that the way gravity varied from the equator up to the north pole was not consistent with how it changed from the equator down to the south pole.
It also became clear that these changes in gravity tracked the banded structure of Jupiter's cloud layer.
As a result, the cloud tops must extend into Jupiter, becoming swirling jet streams that reach depths of 3,000km. The amount of mass swirling around was calculated to be 1% of Jupiter's total mass – more than triple the mass of the Earth.
Is there a 'planet' deep within?
By analysing the static component of Jupiter's gravitational field, it was found that there is a point where Jupiter's gas starts to rotate in harmony, like a rigid sphere.
It sits below a wind depth of at least 2,000km but less than 3,500km, which is well consistent with the jet stream findings.
At this depth, the pressure is 100,000 times greater than what we feel at the Earth's surface and temperatures soar. Electric currents flowing through the compressed hydrogen gas and constrained by Jupiter's powerful magnetic field, are thought to slow the winds down and drag the gas into uniform motion.

As Juno continues to swing by Jupiter, scientists hope to better understand the dynamo powering Jupiter's magnetic field and ultimately to determine if Jupiter has a solid core, made of some kind of icy rock subjected to more than 50 million bars of pressure. Now that's truly out of this world.


Officers are now able to flag critical information to their Twitter followers by marking an important tweet as an alert.
The force is one of 50 organisations in the UK to be given access to the scheme as it's launched today.
Twitter users who sign up for an account's Twitter alerts will receive a notification directly to their phone via SMS.
Users of Twitter for iPhone or Twitter for Android will also receive a push notification direct to their mobile, marked visually with an orange bell.
As well as the UK's 47 police forces, others signed up include the Environment Agency, the Foreign Office and the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre.
Staffordshire Police already use social media to communicate with people in the county, with almost 23,000 followers on Twitter.
The new service, hailed as "a potenitally life-saving development in social media" by officials, is an extention to that and the the force has saw 60 people sign up in the first few hours of its launch.
They hope it will help keep the people in Staffordshire safe and reassured.

I love having fun times with friends while able to support awareness groups at the same time! That's what Sunday night was for me. It was a time to reflect and be informed about children and adults on the Autism spectrum. Sometimes I don't think we stop to understand what these spectacular humans go through day by day. Raising awareness in order to support those who need it is an important way to contribute. I drew so much inspiration from Julie Manning, who (as I said on my post) poured her heart, soul, and every fiber in her body to help people with autism. I cannot thank Ascendigo enough for everything they do in order to help and be active in a society such as today. It's during times like these that we need that light to shine for the world and Ascendigo has. You can give here and become an active contributor as well!
Allow me to share a little about all Ascendigo does. Ascendigo Autism Services is a nonprofit organization based in Aspen, Colorado. Gosh, just another reason I love my city! They offer a summer camp and other services in order to support those with Autism in the world today. They have quite a few programs they offer as ways to engage with the community. Their three core programs include: Adventures, Life Enrichment, and Outreach. Their outreaches aren't events done in just the winter or summer. They can occur during every season. Ascendigo has these adventures beginning in September that include biking, swimming, hiking, lake sports, pumpkin patch, hay rides, and much more! I just think it's so neat, how much this organization does for these amazing humans. Check them out on Facebook too!
I am so excited to announce that last year we sent my nephew Michael to this most amazing camp for people with autism last year called "Ascendigo" in Colorado, for his continuous accomplishments on holding a 4.0 GPA and winning the Special Olympics in his hometown, "now 3 years in a row"! They called us and asked that he come back as a volunteer to teach others and be apart of their program. He made such an impression!! If all goes well this year, he is invited back next year as an employee at this spectacular camp! I am so proud of him and I hope he realizes what a true gem he is to his family and everyone around him! Yay Michael!!!!
Let me bring your attention to a vote! I really do plan on living in Aspen for the rest of my life. I believe with utmost certainty that if we're not growing, we're falling behind. Aspen is the most amazing ski town in our country, so let's continue to prove why we are so incredibly special! March 5th is the big day to vote for Lift 1. Future generations will be grateful if you vote yes! It is a once in a generation project that brings Lift 1 closer to downtown, a new public plaza, new parks, and open space for the community, a museum of Aspen ski history, and preservation of iconic buildings. Let's have a conversation! 25 days left to vote.
You can register to vote online (www.govotecolorado.com; www.pitkincounty.com)or by submitting an application to the Pitkin County clerk's office through mail or in person. With your vote as a registered voter in the right county, we would be able to host the World Cup along with other great events. This would ensure Aspen as a top resort in our country! Think of how much revenue and reward this could bring.
Speaking of skiing, my friend, Julianne Murphy, and I were accepted to compete in the Bumble Powder 8 competition February 8! We are Team Haute Sauce. I am super excited to be with one of my close friends and do what I love! This thing could last 2 days in order to have some elimination, but the winners take home $10,000! Finals will be February 9th (fingers crossed) and will be live-streamed! Through sickness and in health, I'm practicing for this competition, putting in long hours of training. I really couldn't do this without the support of JR!
Did I mention sickness? I have felt like dirt for a while and went in to visit Regen Aspen for some iVitamin Therapy. I highly recommend this! They put in all the vitamins that your immune system and body needs! I love that it is natural and isn't an over the counter drug. Sometimes I get so sick of drugs to help you feel better. For those of you in a price frenzy, I have the link here. The natural way is usually the best way. Dr. Gail King is at least worth the Google. They offer more than just IV Therapy at Regen Aspen. Check it out! I'm back on my feet in the most natural and rejuvenated way!
Today, we walked the Rio Grande Trail. Did you know that Colorado isn't just all about snow? Please don't misunderstand me. I absolutely love to ski, the snow=beauty! There is more to this beautiful state than just renting a place to ski in the wintertime. If you follow me on social media, you should know I love to hike. Whenever I can with Chanel, I love to walk, sweat it out, and…views! Can I just say that the view from Aspen Mountain is amazing? I had to stop and take a picture. It was just too incredible to pass up. The crazy thing is, I feel like I should every time I hike. How many people get to experience that where they live? The weather is beautiful, and the land and the skies are endless. At the end of the day, who wants to be bored when they work out? Not this one! Hiking is my fav. As long as I have Chanel with me and don't mind the sweat, I encourage it. It is definitely a workout. If you keep watching my Instagram stories, it shouldn't be a surprise that hiking (and maybe food) are perpetually taking over my life!
The Rio Grande Trail is 42 miles of continuous ground near Glenwood Springs, CO. I love being able to log what I've hiked. Having it recorded gives me a sense of accomplishment and responsibility because I'm the one who has to do it. According to many reviews, the Rio Grande Trail is rich with minerals and material that make it relatively easy to come down off of the trail and travel up the trail. I will say that the best way for me to travel up and down the mountain is by boot. I feel closer with the land doing so. I also want to add that I appreciate part of the trail being paved AND I'm loving that I don't have to watch out of motorized vehicles. Yikes!
Cyclists should be letting you know with noise when they are passing (This may have been learned the hard way).
The making of excessive or obnoxious noises isn't allowed.
How many of us agree that some of these are common sense rules? The one I probably don't follow very well is to keep Chanel on a leash. She's just so good! Even so, just to know these may at least help some people!
Summer calls for fun activities with great company. Although summer can be busy, it's always important to find time to spend it with the ones you love. This summer I've had to chance to relax at the fabulous Roaring Fork Club.
The club is located in Basalt, which is only 20 minutes from Aspen. They offered everything I could ask for – from the relaxing spa to the outdoor activities, this place was nothing short from perfect. There are many classes to pick from if sports are your thing, such as tennis, hiking and biking. Personally, I enjoyed the spa and the fitness classes they had to offer.
For those looking to be healthy, the club has personal training classes offered by qualified trainers. This is perfect for anyone looking to improve their health or just to get out of the dreaded routine that a lot of people get stuck on.
If that wasn't enough, the food here was to die for! The Lodge Restaurant offers fine dining that uses organic ingredients when preparing these plates. It makes it easy to not be super unhealthy while vacationing. There's nothing worse than gaining unwanted weight during the summer. They offer a variety of healthy snacks and drinks.
Summer is meant to be spent relaxing with loved ones – this place offers just that and then some. If you're looking to check the club out, they offer a variety of memberships. Being surrounded by a lake is one of the best ways to spend summer!
