UK Ovarian Cancer Population Study
Although up to 10% of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer have genetic predisposition to the cancer, the remaining 90% are sporadic cases. The latter women are likely to have some genetic factors that will predispose them to the disease but until recently there was very little evidence for this. UKOPS has contributed to the international Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium (OCAC), an amalgamation of 47 groups from around the world and identified several of these factors that only increase the risks marginally compared to the BRCA1/2 mutations in the women at 'high risk' to answer the question 'Why do some women develop ovarian cancer and not others?".
Currently, CA125 is the only marker used for detecting ovarian cancer early and monitoring its course. The effort through UKOPS has been to identify novel markers that could aid CA125.
Symptoms for ovarian cancer are vague and non-specific and therefore it is difficult to identify the women who have ovarian cancer in primary care. UKOPS is exploring which symptoms or medical complaints are common in women with ovarian cancer when compared to women who do not have the disease.

EU-China PV talks 'are stalled'
PowerSolarPV
Negotiations aimed at finding a solution to the current trade row over alleged dumping of solar PV products in European markets by Chinese manufacturers seem to have reached an impasse.
The EU and China have been working for some months on a co-operative solution to the current trade row which started when European solar manufacturers accused Chinese exporters of selling solar panels in the EU market at below cost in an attempt to gain market share. It is the EU's biggest ever anti-dumping case, and is about the €20 billion in Chinese-made solar products – crystalline modules, cells and wafers – shipped to the bloc in 2011.
But on 26 July negotiations between the European Commission and the Chinese Ministry of Commerce apparently came to a halt. According to a report in specialist journal pv magazine this was because the talks had failed to reach agreement on a minimum trade price level that the EC wants to set for PV imports.
Until 26 July the possibility of a compromise was a real one. The Commission had updated member states on the talks, outlining its proposition to implement a maximum import ceiling of 7 GW on Chinese modules, and a minimum module import price of €0.57/W.
Beijing had reportedly reached an agreement over the import ceiling for modules with the EU, but the import price became a sensitive topic, leading negotiations to stall. The Chinese delegation declined to accept a figure of €0.57/W. It is believed that the €0.57 figure is unacceptable because Asian and European manufacturers that buy cells from Asia already offer lower prices. Therefore Beijing is holding out for €0.55/W. But the EU is unwilling to compromise on a lower price, and the stand-off has led to the Chinese delegation's halting negotiations for now. Most likely the import ceiling compromise of 7 GW is also off the table. The Chinese delegation were due to discuss their strategy on Sunday 29 July.
The talks have been in danger of stalling at least once already. In May the EU Trade Commissioner, Karel De Gucht, announced plans provisionally to impose an import tariff of 47 % on solar panels coming from China. However, 18 EU member states – including Germany and the UK – voted against this, arguing that it would do more harm than good to the European solar industry and result in prices rising across the board. But the Trade Commissioner is not bound by this vote and will provisionally impose the new import tariff, up from its previous level of 11%, if an agreement is not reached by August 6th.
Many believe there is no longer enough time to reach a conclusion. Other elements of the price undertaking yetto be agreed include volume and duration. It looks as if the Chinese would have access to up to 60 % of the EU market at the minimum price, but above that Chinese products would face steep duties. As for duration, the Chinese initially demanded that the price floor expire after six months, while the Commission wants at least two years.
There are also political issues. Beijing would like the Commission to shut down a related anti-subsidy investigation into the solar industry, focusing on suspicions that the Chinese government is subsidising the below-cost import price, because the results of that investigation could prove damaging and might sway the opinion of some EU governments on the merits of the solar case. Any subsidies uncovered could also supply evidence useful to other European makers – and politicians.
Meanwhile, the EC wants to ensure that as part of a solar deal China would also drop similar investigations it has recently started into European wine and polysilicon exports, investigations it apparently launched in retaliation. It is not clear yet if these are serious matters or have been set up only to use as bargaining counters.

College Student by Day, Superhero by Night
Cristina Formichelli January 5, 2022
How one Ohio U creative brought his favorite story to life.
Every superhero has an origin story, and just as interesting, if not more, than the hero itself, is the mastermind behind the character and the world they defend. Ohio University has its very own Stan Lee: Marc Anthony Brown, creator of his published independent comic, its stars, and its world (loosely based on a college we are all pretty familiar with), The Outrider.
Brown, a senior studying English creative writing with a minor in journalism, has been developing The Outrider and its characters since he was in grade school, inspired by the different movies and cartoons he enjoyed growing up. "My fourth-grade teacher, she would encourage me to draw my comic books, and then she would help me use the school copier to copy the pages. I actually had my own drawer in the classroom because [my teacher] was like, 'they're filling up your desk,'" Brown said. "From the rest of grade school and through high school, every day I would do something new: add something new to the character, to the world. And then eventually, once I got to college, I was like, 'OK, I want to really focus on The Outrider in a true, fluid story. So I restarted everything and that's where we are today.'"
Brown assembled his own heroic team of comic-making superheroes, starting with longtime internet friend-turned-editor of The Outrider, Thomas Retake. From there, Brown enlisted the help of letterer Drew Denis, letterer and main artist Giusi "Giù" Lo Piccolo, and cover artist Roos Plattje. Leading the team through this new venture, and through his responsibilities as a student, has been a great and good challenge for Brown, who is currently working on crowdfunding The Outrider's second issue, called "Charlatans." "I have come to realize that every issue is a different learning experience," Brown said. "So whereas issue one was, 'OK, we're making all this money, but now we have an artist who is not [adhering] to the schedule. What are the challenges that come with that now?' Now I've got to find new artists [Lo Piccolo]."
Without giving too much away, The Outrider stars 19-year-old Marcel Lozada, a half African American, half Puerto Rican college student who is also the first superhuman to ever exist, and Andrea "Andi" Negrón, an undergraduate student from Puerto Rico who is the granddaughter of an ex-assassin. The two attend Alden State University, which has a familiar, beautiful cherry blossom-filled campus, in the city of Horizon Bay, where they balance their unique circumstances, responsibilities, and … enemies with everyday college life.
It is the unique set of challenges Marcel and Andi face in The Outrider that sets it apart from any other comic. "It's a story about, basically, [Marcel and Andi] trying to figure out how to become young adult[s] in a modern society and facing realistic challenges that plague a lot of college campuses," Brown said. "There's a lot of romanticization of college and a lot of things that are not told … from late-night studying to the depression that hits during the winter, or sexual assault cases that plague campuses, or racism, or just classwork or feeling like you can't afford anything and you don't want to look poor in front of your friends. All those challenges are introduced in the series on top of, obviously, action, adventure, and detective mystery stories sprinkled in."
The Outrider's storyline, characters, and themes are incredibly familiar and important to Brown, as he sees parts of himself in them. "The story is a very personal story, per se, because obviously, I have my own racial ties and ethnic ties to the characters, so it's a lot easier for me to write situations or customs that they would experience that I've experienced," Brown said. "But, it's also a story about showing the readers it's OK to not be OK. It's OK to, like, have mental health challenges. It's OK to feel like an outsider in college."
Brown pours his heart and soul into these comics, as he is finally publishing the stories he's wanted to tell all his life. "I'm a very observant person, a very quiet person. So as writing and being a writer, it allowed me to have the typical escapism fantasy that everyone wants in their daily life. I used to have an old saying, 'I want to tell the stories in my head,' or say 'I want the world experience the same world that I experience.'" Brown said. Now, with The Outrider coming to life, his dreams are a reality.To get your hands on a copy or two of The Outrider, follow @the.kfsmab on Instagram to keep up with Brown and his projects, and click the Indiegogo link in his bio to buy or contribute to The Outrider.

BETHESDA, MD—The battle to takeover LaSalle Hotel Properties is not over—yet.
LaSalle recently revealed that its board, through a unanimous vote, determined the unsolicited, non-binding proposal from Pebblebrook Hotel Trust on Aug. 21 could be reasonably expected to lead to a "superior proposal" as defined in LaSalle's merger agreement with affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII.
Rival bidder Blackstone Group LP doesn't plan to raise its offer for LaSalle Hotel Properties, according to a person with knowledge of the matter, paving the way for the luxury-hotel company to complete a deal with competing suitor Pebblebrook Hotel Trust, according to Bloomberg.
Under the terms of the proposal, Pebblebrook would acquire LaSalle in a transaction with consideration of 0.92 common shares of Pebblebrook per common share of LaSalle, with the option for LaSalle shareholders to elect to receive a fixed amount of $37.80 per share in cash up to a maximum of 30% in aggregate of the consideration, subject to pro ration.
If LaSalle's opts to move forward with the Pebblebrook proposal, Blackstone stands to walk away with $112 million.

Wolfgang Tillmans could well be the coolest photographer on the planet. Always imitated, never bettered, he's the lens-meister of the zeitgeist, the photo-journo who went artside, a man in constant demand, moving effortlessly from magazine to fashion shoot to gallery retrospective. From the portraits that made him famous to the still lifes and landscapes, discover Tillmans's high-color, dirty realist heaven.
From the portraits that made him famous, through the still lifes and landscapes (undermining the genres with every shot), Tillmans's work is high-color, dirty realist heaven. Finding the still point in the information overload, the sexuality in the machine, and the image in the image saturation, Tillmans gives us the brief epiphanies we might just remember as our own.

The leader of the Communist Party of Nepal, Netra Bikram Chand, has confessed to planting multiple IEDs (improvised explosive devices) and other arson-related devices around Kathmandu, specifically as an attack against the cellular service company Ncell.
The company, which was bought by the Malaysian based Axiata has been under recent scrutiny for avoiding Rs. 75 billion in capital gains tax. A pamphlet found at the bombing of the Ncell building in Nakkhu, Lalitpur reads, "This is a symbolic action, and if ignored, there will be more stern actions. Hail scientific socialism.
Although Chand and his party have taken ownership to the attack there have been no official statements released of remorse or condemning acts of violence. In fact, over 15 telephone towers belonging to Ncell were set on fire in various districts around Nepal, further enforcing the fact that this was not an accident.
As of now no immediate government action has been taken. Police have arrested those in connection with the attack, but greater efforts to prevent an attack happening again have not been discussed.

Video Poker Jacks Or Better
Four high cards; ace, king, queen, and jack of mixed suits. The draw could match any of them for a pair of jacks or better or bring a 10 for a straight. Note that you would break up a flush, a straight, or a high pair when you're missing only one card in a royal flush. But if you have a straight flush that runs from 9 through king of the same suit, take the straight flush payoff rather than chasing the royal. Break up a pair of jacks or better if you have four cards to a royal flush or four cards to a lower straight flush. Full-pay 9-6 machines are most common in Nevada, but they can be found in Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri — indeed, nearly anywhere there is competition for players.
To read the chart, players first assess the hands they hold given the five-card combination on the screen. From there, you'll always want to select the option which is listed highest on the chart. Others will always hold the four-flush and draw a single card, looking to spike the fifth diamond and make their flush. Some players hold onto the small pair in this spot, discarding the other three cards and hoping to land a third 6 for three of a kind.
That's about the percentage you'll find in other United States gaming destinations. In Missouri, as soon as voters allowed games of chance, about 80 percent of slot space was turned over to reel slots. In games which do not have a wild card a player on average will receive the rare four-of-a-kind hand approximately once every 500 hands. Your odds of hitting a royal flush are about 1 in 40,000. At 600 hands an hour and 8 hours a day, you can expect to hit a royal once every 8.3 days on average.
If you can't find one that fits your budget you should find somewhere else to play. Using this strategy should increase the return over time to around 99.45% if played correctly. Reducing the House Edge in any casino game is important and although this may not seem like much, over a long period of time, it can make a big difference. It is much better to reduce the value of a coin and play maximum coins than play a higher value coin but only bet 1 coin per go. The cheat sheets basically show you which cards you need to hold and which ones to discard in order to improve your chances of forming a hand.
Although the first versions were released back in the 1970s, the look, feel and variations that are now available compared to when the internet was first launched are vastly different. The set is followed by a Straight, which is a hand consisting of five off-suit cards in consecutive order, for example, . The Straight is followed by the Flush, which is a hand consisting of five cards of the same suit whereas their numerical value is not taken into consideration, like so .
You get the same thrill of playing at an online casino, but it's 100% free. Soon after that, you are dealt with five initial cards and can choose which ones you want to keep and ones that you want to exchange. As soon as you do that, you get new cards instead of those that you chose to discard and then need to make a winning hand with your combination.

Hey everyone, I am currently in the process of trying to buy a stationary bike, hoping that might help with some issues, but it is proving a little more challenging than I would like it to be. For example, there are recumbent bikes, upright bikes, and other options too. Is there really a big difference when I am trying to get back into shape? And if there is such a big difference, what do you think I should be looking for?
For those of you who have a stationary bike at home, what do you recommend and why? I guess I am just trying to get some of the pros and cons from people who have tried them before instead of relying on marketing messages. Thank you!
Does anyone have any experience buying from www.gymsource.com/exercise-bikes ?
This is a rather weird question to ask on here but it's interesting. I never knew there were so many different stationary bikes. It's a great way to get into shape however and to defeat those sexual problems you are facing. This will also keep your mind off of other things. Good luck on finding the right bike for yourself and getting into shape!

Chinatown Bus Lines are a Budget Traveler's Dream
A Guide to the Chinatown Bus
The word is out–the cheapest way to get from one major U.S. city to another is on the "Chinatown bus". In recent years this has become transportation option of choice for budget travelers in New York, Washington DC, and Boston, and more recently on the West Coast. Students, backpackers, and an array of other savvy travelers have long loved the rock bottom prices that these bus companies offer. Despite the popularity of these bus lines it can still be difficult to find information on Chinatown bus service.
What exactly is a "Chinatown Bus"? Read on and you will have the inside track on this great budget travel option.
Chinatown Bus history
The Chinatown bus phenomenon began in the late 1990s when an entrepreneur in New York's Chinatown started running daily bus service from Chinatown in New York to Chinatown in Boston. The service was aimed at Asian immigrants who wanted to shop or visit relatives in either city and needed cheap and convenient transportation. The service was bare bones–no advertising, customer service, or bus stations. Customers simply went to the bus stop, waited for the bus (or van), and paid the driver upon boarding. For those willing to do without frills, they offered virtually the same service as traditional bus companies at a substantially lower price. Before long, the word spread and all kinds of people started using the service. It became especially popular with students, budget travelers, or people for whom the service was simply more convenient.
Soon more bus companies duplicated this model and started offering service in other cities. Now you can find this type of bus service in Philadelphia, Virginia, Baltimore Washington DC, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Francisco. At this point the term "Chinatown bus" is used more loosely to describe this sort of low-cost/low-frills service. Many, if not most, of the companies do not have Chinatown as their main location and may not cater to the immigrant population at all. These operators are also sometimes referred to as "curbside" operators.
Ground Transportation From Baltimore Washington Airport (BWI) to Washington, DC
If your travel budget is tight and you are flying to Washington, DC, landing at Baltimore Washington International Airport (BWI) may be your best bet. As a rule, the cheapest flights into Washington land at BWI, which is Washington's third airport after Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and Washington Dulles International (IAD). BWI is less expensive mainly because it is a Southwest hub. However, if you use BWI, you then have the challenge of finding transportation to Washington, DC. Inexpensive ways to get to Washington include taking: (1) the B30 express bus to the DC Metro subway system and (2) a shuttle bus from BWI to the nearby train station and then taking a train to Washington's Union Station.
Express Bus Service to the Greenbelt Metro Station
Bus B30 runs non-stop between BWI and the Greenbelt Metro Station, the last stop on the Green Line, giving you easy access to most of the Washington, DC area, including nearby suburbs. Currently, the bus fare is $6, and you pay when you get on the bus. You need to have exact change available. To the $6 you have to add metro fare which varies by how far you travel and the time of day, but the fare from Greenbelt to downtown DC is in the $2.75-$4.60 range. There are vending machines at the Metro station for purchasing fare cards. Having a roll on bag should not pose too much of a problem. The B30 has a luggage rack.
The B30 bus runs about every 40 minutes. Most of the 40 minutes is required to reach the metro. If you are going to arrive at BWI at an odd hour, you may want to check with the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Web site for the B30 bus schedule.
Both BWI stops for the B30 are located on the lower, baggage claim level. For the first stop, exit door number 2, which is in the Concourse A-B area near baggage claims 1-4. This area is dedicated to Southwest Airlines. When you exit the baggage claim area you will see two lanes of traffic in front of you and then a pedestrian island. Beyond the pedestrian island are more traffic lanes. Cross over to the pedestrian island and turn left. The Regional Bus shelter is about 500 feet down from door 2. At the shelter you should be able to find the schedule for the B30. For the second stop, exit door 17. Again, the Regional Bus shelter is on the pedestrian island. The shelter is between doors 17 and 18.
Train Service from BWI to Washington's Union Station
In lieu of taking B30 to the Metro, you may want to take the complimentary Amtrak/MARC shuttle bus to the nearby train station. From the train station you can take either an Amtrak train or during the week you can take a MARC train (Maryland Rail Commuter Service). Both Amtrak and MARC service Union Station in downtown Washington as well as many other destinations in Maryland and, with Amtrak, beyond. At this writing, the fare to Union Station on the MARC is $6 ($3 for senior citizens). Amtrak trains are considerably more expensive (around double) and can be very expensive if you take one of the Acela Express trains, which are only slightly faster from BWI to DC. So during the week you may want to consider the MARC trains. By the way, if you don't have time to purchase a ticket for a MARC train, you can buy a ticket from the conductor but you will have to pay a service fee of $3. You will need cash (no bills greater than $20 accepted).
At BWI you can access the Amtrak/MARC shuttle busses from the lower level baggage claim/transportation area. Look for signs to rail and parking shuttles. Ignore signs to "Light Rail," which is a separate service to Baltimore. There are four shuttle bus stops that ring the horseshoe-shaped airport. You can access the bus stops through doors 2, 9, 15, or 17. Once on the curb look for a sign post for parking and rail shuttles. It will not be directly in front of you as you leave the baggage claim area, so look to the left and right. Expect to wait up to 25 minutes for a shuttle bus. The train station is about a mile from the airport. When you get to the station you can purchase a ticket to DC. Then all you have to do is make sure you get on the train to Union Station.

I just have to fit this in.
Forty years ago today I took Jani out on our first date. We began falling in love quickly, easily, happily. I believe the Lord gave me his best in all her generation. Why me? I don't know. I can't figure it out. But I am so thankful.
I will be in and out of town the next few weeks, including some deer hunting in Georgia and Idaho. Hopefully, my 2008 season will be better than 2007, which was kind of like this video. Contrary to rumor, however, the video is not me. Really.
I'm glad to say I will not miss a Sunday at Immanuel -- with the one exception of November 2nd. Dane Ortlund will be Immanuel's guest preacher that Sunday, when I will be at Christ Community Church in Idaho Falls. It will be a delight to be with my new friends there, but it will also be a pleasure for Immanuel to have Dane here. May the power of the gospel come down on Nashville, on Idaho Falls, and on your city through your ministry too. We are in this together.
Thank you for checking Christ Is Deeper Still. I will resume blogging in early November. Until then, God be with you.
It is a privilege to have any Bible at all. I have a new one now. My copy of the ESV Study Bible has arrived. Opening it up is like stepping into a conversation with respected friends about the most important thing any of us can think about -- who God really is, who we really are, and what God has done, is doing and will do for people like us, to the praise of his glorious grace. Privilege upon privilege.
"What a wonderful open door God has placed before the church of today. A pagan world, weary and sick, often distrusting its own modern gods. A saving gospel strangely entrusted to us unworthy messengers. A divine Book with unused resources of glory and power. Ah, what a marvelous opportunity, my brethren!"
J. Gresham Machen, God Transcendent, page 154.
"Whenever I'm asked why Southern writers particularly have a penchant for writing about freaks, I say it is because we are still able to recognize one. To be able to recognize a freak, you have to have some conception of the whole man."
Flannery O'Connor, "The Grotesque in Southern Fiction," in Mystery and Manners, page 44.
We live in a time of personal eccentricity, goofiness, experimentation, adolescence, quirkiness -- angular people not connecting well and not understanding why and not even knowing who they themselves are. To be normal in our times is a significant grace. It requires that we know the Bible pretty well and can then take the next step of visualizing how that loveliness and wisdom in Christ can be embodied in our own humannness and dailyness and ordinariness and routines and opportunities and relationships. It is so refreshing to meet a normal person, an uncomplicated person, an honest and simple person. They are treasures, heroes, models.
How's this for a life goal? To be normal.
"Christ is not offered us merely as a Savior who does something for us, but he is offered us as Someone who, having done something for us, is himself the propitiation [Romans 3:25]. . . . It is not as if Christ handed you something and said, 'Here is your redemption, here is your forgiveness,' and then ran away, as a messenger hands a gift in at the door and the door shuts and away goes the messenger; he has done his job. Not a bit of it! It is Christ himself, the Worker, who comes to us himself. It is Christ personally who is our salvation. . . . It is Christ himself, personally, who comes to us with all the efficacy, the fruit of what he has done, and is the propitiation for our sin."
William Still, The World Of Grace, page 96.
The church is suffering massive loss of prestige in our time. This may be the most salient and abiding mark of our generation. Does it matter? Why fight to re-dignify the church? What is at stake here?
"The church of the living God." A church is where the idols of our culture can be clearly discredited and the living God rallied around, rejoiced in, worshiped, studied, loved and obeyed. If the church is dead, God's own appointed testimony to his living reality powers down. The felt reality of God in the world today is at stake in our churches.
"The pillar and buttress of the truth." A "pillar" holds something up high for all to see. In this world, the one truth that will not only outlast America but will outlast the universe needs to be put on clear display rather than submerged under all the stuff that's demanding our attention week in and week out. A church can make the gospel obvious and accessible through preaching, teaching, memorizing, catechizing, blogging, etc.
A "buttress" firms something up, makes it strong. For many, the gospel does not feel strong. Other things hold them together. A church buttresses the gospel by showing that it really works. Not only does the gospel create the church, but a church also buttresses the gospel. The gospel starts feeling solid and believable and urgently needed as our greatest resource in all of life.
By divine appointment, the church makes the real God seem real, it shouts the truth loudly enough that busy people actually start paying attention, and it embodies living proof that the gospel is a saving power for real people living real lives today.
The church matters. Your church matters. God bless you this Sunday.
"Let Him do what He pleases with me; I desire only Him, and to be wholly devoted to Him."
Brother Lawrence, The Practice of the Presence of God, second letter.
The deepest level of our relationship with Christ is not what he does with us today but who he is for us today. We can't predict from our experience what he'll do, but we know from the Bible who he is. "The Lord is my portion, says my soul; therefore I will hope in him" (Lamentations 3:24).
May our hearts dwell quietly in that deep resting place today.
"About fifteen years ago I was sitting at the dining room table looking out the window and watching five boys fooling around with a BB-gun and wondering a little to myself how long it would be before one of them shot another in the eye. Finally one of them grabbed the gun to shoot at a little sparrow sitting on a tree just outside the dining room window through which I had been watching this whole performance. I could see the whole action unfolding before my eyes; it seemed almost slow-motion, uncanny, inevitable. The boy aimed deliberately at the bird, shot at the bird, missed the bird and put a hole in the window right in front of me, and away they all ran with me racing out of the house after them. I didn't catch any of them!
In a few days I had found out that a boy named Dave White had pulled the trigger. Also in a few days I had the window fixed and paid for. Then I began to think about Dave. He was evading me at every turn. He would not face me and he had no notion of confessing. In the meantime the other boys had floated back to games in the vacant lot and in the street in front of the house, while Dave, the guilty one, was on the outside of all this, 'weeping and gnashing his teeth.' He would have none of us. So I went after him, not to punish him but to save him. He had to face me in judgment, then in grace; only thus could we renew our fellowship, only thus could I bring him back to the gang.
I caught him alone. Now we stood face to face to have it out. The boy was rebellious, tense, tight, ready to fight me, ready to run away again. He admitted he had wronged me but I gave him the surprising message that the window had been paid for, that I had no notion of collecting anything from him, that what really interested me was to know how we could get him to come back to be one of the gang again. . . . I told him over and over again the same old story: the price has been paid, it's all over; let's be friends. What a time I had getting that message through to him. Why? Because he didn't believe me. There is always an unbelievable quality in the wonder of what we call grace. But I wish you could have seen him when he finally did believe me. What a wonderful look, what a release of tensions, what a rolling away of the burdens, what a newness of life. Now he could quit running. Now he could relax. Talk about peace of mind; you should have seen that boy. What total commitment he offered me henceforth, and by no request of mine! There was nothing he wouldn't do for me."
Addison H. Leitch, Interpreting Basic Theology, pages 113-114.
If your brother sins -- chapter-and-verse disobedience to the Bible -- and the sin is against you, rebuke him. Not a demeaning humiliation. Just sit down with him and say, "Brother, here in [biblical text], God says . . . . But last Tuesday, you and I were in that meeting and, as I recall, you said/did . . . . Brother, I can't see how that behavior lines up with this verse. How do you see it?" No vague generalities, but verifiable facts, clearly addressed by the Bible.
We need to have the freedom to rebuke one another's sinful and foolish behavior. But let's be gentle and respectful. Let's offer the brother an opportunity to explain himself. After all, there might be more to it than one realizes. And let's avoid the verb "to be" ("You are . . .") or "always" and "never" ("You always/never . . ."). Those categories are too absolute to be fair. They blast the brother to smithereens, with no dignity left.
If he repents, forgive him. Conditional forgiveness? Yes. The Lord is explaining how to restore the relationship. We must forgive unconditionally and absolutely within our hearts. But for the relationship to be restored, there must be confession of sin. How can a sin be forgiven, if it's never been confessed? So hopefully the brother says, "Darn it, you're right. I didn't see it that way at the moment, but there it is in the Bible. I was wrong, I'm sorry, and it won't happen again. Is there anything I can do now to fix the situation?"
What he needs to hear is, "Dear brother, thank you for receiving what I said so humbly. It's why people respect you. I do forgive you, and wholeheartedly. Thank you for asking about follow-through. Yes, there is something positive that would help. Let's work on it together. What would you think of . . . ?"
The Lord makes these practical things clear. He is wise. Let's follow him.
"And who and what are ministers themselves? Frail men, fallible, sinning men, exposed to every snare, to temptation in every form; and from the very post of observation they occupy, the fairer mark for the fiery darts of the foe. They are no mean victims the great Adversary is seeking, when he would wound and cripple Christ's ministers. One such victim is worth more to the kingdom of darkness than a score of common men; and on this very account, the temptations are probably more subtle and severe than those encountered by ordinary Christians. If this subtle Deceiver fails to destroy them, he artfully aims at neutralizing their influence by quenching the fervor of their piety, lulling them into negligence, and doing all in his power to render their work irksome. How perilous the condition of that minister then, whose heart is not encouraged, whose hands are not strengthened, and who is not upheld by the prayers of his people! It is not in his own closet and on his own knees alone that he finds security and comfort and ennobling, humbling and purifying thoughts and joys; but it is when his people also seek them in his behalf that he becomes a better and happier man and a more useful minister of the everlasting gospel."
Gardiner Spring, The Power of the Pulpit, pages 223-224.
I have been ordained for 33 years now, but I have never before been so aware of faithful ministers under intense distress and temptation and outright attack. I myself am in green pastures and beside still waters, for which I am grateful. But it is not so for many others right now. Unable to see the battles being fought in the heavenlies and unwilling to speculate about them, I can plead that every church organize regular prayer for her pastor.
I have never seen a faithful pastor too much prayed for, too much encouraged, too much loved and cheered on, though I have seen members oddly concerned that the pastor be reminded of how dispensable he is, how inadequate he is, and so forth. The result, and maybe the intention, is weak churches.
In these times of intense pressure on us all, half-way Christianity is no longer a credible option. It's all for Christ or nothing. Our churches are the front line of spiritual battle, and the pastors are at the forefront of the battle. Pray for your pastor, encourage him, empower him. If the battle is to be won in our generation, it will be a shared victory. We stand or fall together.
We think of poverty as uncertain and riches as secure and certain. Yes, poverty is uncertain. But so are riches. Riches in this present age cannot be anything but uncertain. It is their nature to go up, then down, then up, then whatever. And the more riches, the more of this endless uncertainty. Even big banks fail.
Christians are not surprised when riches prove to be as uncertain as the Bible has always said they are. Our hope is in God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy.
Uncertainty with anxiety versus hope with enjoyment. May we be living proof of hope in God during these days of testing.
The world is a mess, and it's always someone else's fault. Every rational person on the face of the earth knows something is wrong, and every single one is pointing at the next guy saying, "He's to blame." Everyone is an exception. This is our natural moral psychology.
The gospel pierces our bulletproof self-images, so that the grace of God can pour in with real healing. How? In Romans 1:18-32, Paul confronts Mr. Self-Indulgence, who sees the world as his playground, with no rules but his own appetites and ego. In Romans 2:1-16, Paul confronts Mr. Moral High Ground, who looks at others with scorn and upholds a strict moral code but is always looking for loopholes for himself. In Romans 2:17-29, Paul confronts Mr. Biblical Worldview, who is so sure of himself because he knows the Bible and looks at everyone else with the thought, "Well, I may not be perfect, but at least I KNOW what's right!" But his heart has some very ugly secrets.
All three human profiles -- Mr. Self-Indulgence, Mr. Moral High Ground, Mr. Biblical Worldview -- are "under sin" (Romans 3:9). There are no exceptions. All need a new heart, created by the Holy Spirit. All need a grace from beyond themselves that flies in under their radar with humbling self-awareness that bows low and says, "I fall short of the glory of God. In fact, there is no justification for my life at all. God, be merciful to me, a sinner." This is the one who is justified by God's grace, as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
May our ministries tomorrow lead Mr. Self-Indulgence, Mr. Moral High Ground and Mr. Biblical Worldview into newness of life as a gift of overflowing grace.
"When Pompey was killed, Julius Caesar obtained possession of a large casket, which contained a vast amount of correspondence which had been carried on with Pompey. There is no doubt whatever that in that casket there were many letters from certain of Caesar's followers making overtures to Pompey, and had Caesar read those letters it is probable that he would have been so angry with many of his friends that he would have put them to death for playing him false. Fearing this, he magnanimously took the casket and destroyed it without reading a single line. What a splendid way of putting away and annihilating all their offenses against him! Why, he did not even know them, he could not be angry, for he did not know that they had offended. He consumed all their offenses and destroyed their iniquities, so that he could treat them all as if they were innocent and faithful.
An accusing spirit might have said to Caesar, 'Do you not know that Caius and Florus were deeply involved with your enemy, Pompey?' 'No,' he replies, 'I know nothing against them.' 'But in that casket there is evidence.' 'Ah,' rejoins the hero, 'there remains no casket. I have utterly destroyed it.'"
C. H. Spurgeon, Treasury of the New Testament, IV:131-132.
"The God of the Bible repudiates metaphysical compliments, however orthodox, ritual tributes, however splendid, and moral rectitude, however rigorous, when they are set in the context of instrumental religion, offered to a god we hope to domesticate."
Merold Westphal, Suspicion and Faith: The Religious Uses of Modern Atheism, page 15.
The greatest wonder is not that God made the universe; the greatest wonder is that the Maker of the universe is mindful of and cares for you and me. And he does. Right now.
In our anxious times, this verse stands out. Let's be clear about what the Lord is saying.
The Lord isn't saying, "If what you really want is 'all these things,' here's how you get it. Seek first God's kingdom and righteousness." He can't be saying that, because seeking God's kingdom and righteousness first means first. The word "first" makes the kingdom and righteousness, not the 'all these things,' our true goal. God is generous, but he will not be used as a stepping-stone to something higher.
The Lord is saying, "Make it THE goal of your life, even above necessities, to seek God's kingdom and righteousness. Use everything else in your life to make progress toward this goal and to help others make progress toward this goal. Don't use God toward the things of this life, but use the things of this life toward God, and God promises he will back you up. He will give you all of 'all these things' that you need for a God-seeking-first, kingdom-advancing-first, righteousness-pursuing-first lifestyle."
Every one of us is either seeking God or using God, moment by moment. The word "first" reveals the difference. And God's promise belongs to all who seek him first. The only safe place in all the world.
Jani and I have just returned from three wonderful days at Southern Seminary in Louisville. Dr. Al Mohler and everyone at Southern simply overdid it in kindness to us. We thank them. May God continue to bless and use Southern Seminary.
We are glad to be back in Nashville and can't wait to go to Immanuel Church on Sunday.
Back to blogging tomorrow. Thanks for checking in.

Exploration! But not too far from home because death. And cold. And monsters. Actually, yes, let's go there.
Probably fire. I love fire. It mesmerizes me. It's like a snake charmer, except it's an Angie charmer. Which is far better, because I give backrubs and can cook things like macaroni and cheese and delivery pizza.
Can I say my own? They're not really a myth…and they also hate humans, so they might kill me… BUT I JUST LOVE THEM.
Sam's. It has everything. Haha! Or Walmart. I could use the locals as bait to draw the radioactive monsters away from me.
Hahahaha! I had to read this like four times before it connected in my head. Okay. Let's see. I would want you to ask me what I want to eat for dinner, and I will say ice cream…because I'm an adult, and I can eat whatever I want for dinner. And in this case, it's ice cream. So yes.
And here are my links to follow me!
Great interview! I'd probably give the aliens chocolate, though.

Rochester scientists propose new reason why acute myeloid leukemia is so difficult to cure
University of Rochester Medical Center scientists have proposed a new reason why acute myeloid leukemia, one of the most aggressive cancers, is so difficult to cure: a subset of cells that drive the disease appear to have a much slower metabolism than most other tumors cells.
The slower metabolism protects leukemia cells in many important ways and allows them to survive better - but the team also found an experimental drug tailored to this unique metabolic status and has begun testing its ability to attack the disease, URMC researchers report in the Jan. 17, 2013, online edition of Cell Stem Cell.
As a result, the study's corresponding author, Craig T. Jordan, Ph.D., is working on forming a partnership with a drug-maker to conduct further testing in this arena. The compound under laboratory study has already been used in clinical trials.
"Targeting metabolism of leukemia stem cells is a unique approach that we believe has the potential to be broadly applied to several forms of leukemia," said Jordan, the Philip and Marilyn Wehrheim Professor at the James P. Wilmot Cancer Center at URMC. "An exciting part of our work is that because we've identified drugs that are being developed for clinical use, we hope there is significant potential to improve the care of leukemia patients relatively soon."
Lead investigator Eleni Lagadinou, M.D., Ph.D., a post-doctoral fellow in Jordan's laboratory, said that when the team discovered that the metabolism of leukemia stem cells was so different from the rest of the tumor cells, they focused their efforts on exactly how that process works.
They found that leukemia stem cells generate all the energy they need in a cellular powerhouse called the mitochondrion, by way of a single process, known as oxidative phosphorylation. In contrast, other cancer cells and normal stem cells also rely on a second fuel source, known as glycolysis, to generate energy.
With this new information, researchers then explored the pathways involved in oxidative phophorylation, with an eye toward finding an Achilles' heel to stop the process. They discovered that an important gene, BCL-2, is elevated and central to leukemia stem cell energy production.

The team also knew that drugs to inhibit BCL-2 are in various stages of development in the pharmaceutical industry; Lagadinou and Jordan found two such compounds and tested them in human leukemia specimens. Their findings showed the drugs preferentially killed inactive and metabolically slower leukemia stem cells.
Leukemia is known for its ability to lie dormant for long periods, despite treatment, but then suddenly begin another assault.
"This treatment shows promise toward a dormant leukemic stem cell subpopulation that is relatively untouched by conventional drugs," Lagadinou said. "It's also important to note that normal cells were not harmed by the compounds, because they can use alternative pathways to generate energy."
Without the toxicity to healthy cells, researchers hope they can target the disease during periods of remission, when mopping up residual leukemia is essential.
Leukemia is a blood cancer with four common types: acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic (ALL), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and chronic lymphoblastic (CLL). AML is most common in adults and the most difficult to treat, in part because it affects immature cells. Nearly 50,000 new cases are diagnosed each year, with about half resulting in death.
Investigators have learned during the past decade that many therapies were not designed to kill the root of leukemia, the so called "leukemia stem cells," and therefore never truly eliminate the disease.
In fact, even the most modern cancer treatments were developed under the assumption that all cancer metabolism relies on glycolysis as a fuel source. This makes the URMC study - and the discovery that oxidative phosphorylation is the single fuel source for leukemia stem cells - all the more relevant for suggesting new and improved treatments, Jordan said.

The good folks over at SF Signal always come up with nifty topics for Mind Melds, but I think this one was my favorite to write for: Which characters in SF/F would you want on your side the day the monsters attacked? And yes, we could pretty much choose anybody. Which I did.
Head on over to SF Signal and check it out. In all honesty, I kind of wish I could write the story of how my team would fight the (heretofore unnamed) monster hordes. I have a feeling it would be a corker. My thanks to Rob Bedford for roping me in on this one.

The Sportage SUV has been a key part of Kia's success for 25 years. The first Kia built in Europe, five million have been sold worldwide – almost a quarter of million in the UK, making it our best-selling Kia, often in the UK top 10.
So the fourth generation is not only updated inside and out, gains new safety and infotainment technologies and powertrains but includes a special Edition 25 model.
Really more of a facelift to modernise the Sportage, there's a redesigned front bumper with new fog lamps, revised 'tiger-nose' grille, full-LED headlamps with four-point LED daytime running lights and silver front and rear skid plates on most models.
Rear lights have been tweaked and there are new 16, 17 and 19in alloy wheels and five new colours.
The headlines are new turbo diesels – 114 and 134bhp 1.6-litre, the latter available with seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, to replace the 1.7-litre and eight-speed auto AWD 182bhp 2.0-litre 48v mild hybrid in GT-Line.
The 1.6-litre petrol models are six-speed manual, front-wheel drive 130bhp 1.6 and an automatic 174bhp 1.6-litre turbo, both now with particulate filters and the latter also offering AWD.
The non-turbo 130bhp petrol, in '1' and '2' and Edition 25 grades, needs revs to feel responsive but cruises comfortably and quietly at motorway speeds. It returned 35 to 40mpg overall, depending on driving conditions.
Suspension is carried over – fine as it is a happy balance between ride and handling.
GT-Line is tuned for sharper, more agile handling and slightly firmer progress, less sporty models favour ride comfort but are still entertaining to drive.
The electric power steering is responsive but, in the petrol model, feels light at speed.
The practical cabin boasts comfortable seating and space for large adults, even three in the back, with adjustable rear seat backrests and decent legroom. It's also quiet with little wind and road noise.
The 503-litre boot's twin-level floor at sill level sits flush with the folded seat backs, released via a lever on the side of the seats and locking down, or can be lowered for a deeper boot and a maximum capacity of 1,492 litres.
Another case of it ain't broke, don't fix it so minor upgrades include a new steering wheel and revised instrument cluster and climate controls.
It's all very simple – white-on black-instruments with red needles and a central information display, a high-level touchscreen, on all but entry model, push and twist controls for heating and ventilation and metallic-effect and the inevitable gloss black highlights.
Soft-touch plastics on fascia and front doors feel fine but they're hard and feel cheaper in the back.
Storage is plentiful up front but rear door bins are restricted.
You don't need a top model for creature comforts.
Entry '1' grade includes front fog lights, electric mirrors and windows, air-con, DAB, Bluetooth with voice recognition, steering wheel controls and music streaming, remote locking, reversing camera, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity and cruise control.
The '2' grade test car gained 17in alloys, seven-inch touchscreen sat-nav, rear privacy glass, upgraded cloth upholstery, electric folding mirrors, reversing sensors, auto wipers, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats and extra safety systems with lane-keep assist, auto high beam, speed limit information and cruise control with speed limiter.
Above that are Edition 25, '4', GT-Line, GT-Line S trims.
The Sportage is an unsung hero for Kia, popular with new and used buyers who want a roomy, well-equipped family SUV without a premium price tag.

Health Indicator Report of Alcohol - Alcohol-related Chronic Disease Deaths
Chronic heavy drinking (defined as drinking, on average, more than two drinks per day for men, and more than one drink per day for women) often is associated with alcoholism or alcohol dependence, and can cause or contribute to a number of diseases, including alcoholic liver cirrhosis. For the past 15 years, New Mexico's death rate from alcohol-related chronic disease has consistently been first or second in the nation, and 1.5 to two times the national rate. The national death rate from alcohol-related chronic disease in 2015 (13.9) was the same as that in 1990. In contrast, New Mexico's rate increased 52 percent from 1990 to 2015.
Alcohol-related Chronic Disease Deaths by County, New Mexico, 2013-2017
Rates are age-adjusted to the US 2000 standard population.

Data Interpretation Issues
According to the CDC's Alcohol-Related Disease Impact (ARDI) website (http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/ardi/Homepage.aspx), there are 54 causes of death considered to be at least partially attributable to alcohol. These include 35 alcohol-related chronic diseases (e.g., liver cirrhosis, alcohol dependence); and 19 alcohol-related injuries (e.g., motor vehicle crashes, poisonings, falls, homicide, suicide). Alcohol-related deaths are estimated by multiplying the total number of deaths in a cause-of-death category by the percent of deaths in that category that are considered to be caused by alcohol. This percent, the so-called alcohol attributable fraction (AAF), can vary from 100% for causes of death that are completely related to alcohol use (e.g., alcoholic liver disease, alcohol poisoning); to less than 100% for causes that are only sometimes related to alcohol use. For example, per CDC ARDI, the AAF for portal hypertension is 40%. This means that 40% of deaths from portal hypertension are considered to be caused by alcohol use. The AAF for homicide is 47% and for suicide is 23%. The AAF for alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes is age- and gender-specific, ranging from 49% for males ages 25-34 to 8% for females ages 65 and over. For more information on the AAFs used here see the CDC ARDI Methods webpage (http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/ardi/AboutARDIMethods.htm).
Health Indicator Definition
Alcohol-related chronic disease death is defined as the number of chronic disease deaths attributed to alcohol per 100,000 population. The alcohol-related chronic disease death rates reported here are based on definitions and alcohol-attributable fractions from the CDC's Alcohol-Related Disease Impact (ARDI) website (http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/ardi/Homepage.aspx).

Health Improvement Resources
There is a large body of evidence on effective strategies to prevent excessive alcohol use and alcohol-related harm. The following list summarizes the evidence-based prevention strategies that are well-recommended by experts; and that could be more widely or completely implemented in New Mexico to reduce our alcohol-related problems: http://ibis.health.state.nm.us/docs/Evidence/EvidenceBasedExcessiveAlcoholUsePrevention.pdf To access this list, please copy and paste the URL into your browser. For more information on this topic, see the "Evidence-based Practices" section of the Alcohol-Related Deaths indicator report (http://ibis.health.state.nm.us/indicator/important_facts/AlcoholRelatedDth.html).
Doctors, nurses and other health professionals should screen all adult patients and counsel those who drink too much to drink less. This is called alcohol screening and brief intervention (A-SBI). A-SBI can reduce how much alcohol a person drinks on an occasion by 25%. A-SBI is recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), the Community Preventive Services Task Force (Community Guide), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and the World Health Organization (WHO).

Spielberg to debut 'The Fabelmans' at Toronto Film Festival
Steven Spielberg is bringing his highly personal film "The Fabelmans" to the Toronto International Film Festival this fall, organizers said Friday. It will be the world premiere for the film, which Spielberg has said is based on his early years, and will also mark the legendary filmmaker's first time at the festival.
Spielberg co-wrote the coming-of-age story — about a young man and a shattering family secret — with Tony Kushner, who he also collaborated with on "Munich," "Lincoln" and "West Side Story." The cast includes Michelle Williams, Paul Dano, Seth Rogen and Judd Hirsch.
The Toronto International Film Festival, which runs from Sept. 8-18, has previously said that it will also host the world premieres of Rian Johnson's "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery," the Harry Styles-led drama "My Policeman" and Gina-Prince Bythewood's historical epic "The Woman King," with Viola Davis.
"The Fabelmans" is set for a Nov. 11 theatrical release from Universal Pictures and is expected to be a big player in the upcoming awards season.

Women's basketball splits pair of road games
Aaliyah Lewis led the Red Storm in scoring in their win over Providence. (Photo Credit: RedStormSports.com)
Brendan Myers, Staff Writer
LISTEN: Episode One of the new "Torch Talk" sports mini-podcast, hosted by Co-Sports Editor Troy Mauriello.
The St. John's University women's basketball team finished off their road games in Big East conference play this weekend, winning at Providence, 71-47, and losing in Omaha to Creighton, 67-60.
The Red Storm were led across both games by senior forward Jade Walker, who averaged 16 points and eight rebounds in the two games.
On Friday night in Rhode Island, the Johnnies got out to a fast start and never looked back. On offense, the team established a presence in the paint through Walker, leading to more space on the perimeter for the guards. Despite Walker getting in foul trouble, senior guard Aaliyah Lewis picked up the slack. Lewis had eight points in the first quarter alone, while the entire Providence team only had six.
"I thought we really locked in and guarded well, which allowed us to control the tempo of the game," Coach Joe Tartamella said after the game. St. John's held the Friars to just under 38 percent shooting from the field and forced them into 13 turnovers.
Lewis was joined by teammates Walker and Akina Willere in double figures, while junior college transfer Maya Singleton chipped in nine points and 11 rebounds in 32 minutes. St. John's led by as many as 25 points, reflecting the control of the game that Tartamella noted.
Then the team traveled to Omaha on Sunday to take on the Bluejays of Creighton, who were ranked second in conference play. It was senior day at D.J. Sokol Arena, and the early minutes reflected that emotion. The game had a frenzied pace at the beginning, with Walker leading the scoring in the opening minutes of play. However, the Red Storm struggled to keep the Bluejays out of the lane, which put St. John's on the back foot.
The Creighton guards were able to control Lewis on the offensive end, forcing her to be more of a facilitator after her 17-point outing in Providence. Lewis was held to only nine points and four assists.
The team was able to fight its way back behind Alisha Kebbe, Wellere and Singleton, taking a one-point lead with about three minutes left in the third quarter. Kebbe and Wellere both finished in double figures with 10 and 12 points, respectively. Singleton had a double-double, doing most of her damage in the third quarter. She finished the game with 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Despite St. John's effort on the defensive end, Creighton's backcourt of Marissa Janning and Sydney Lamberty proved to be too much to handle. Anytime the Johnnies took a slight advantage, the Bluejays' guards had an answer. Janning had 20 points, while Lamberty had 17 on six-of-nine shooting. Creighton also did their damage from the free throw line scoring 26 points, while St. John's only scored 19.
St. John's finishes conference play next Sunday at Carnesecca Arena for senior day against the Seton Hall Pirates. Last time these two met, the Pirates prevailed 64-59. The Red Storm are currently slated for the fifth seed in the Big East Tournament.

American Farmers & Ranchers/Oklahoma Farmers Union (AFR/OFU) recently adopted new policy regarding horse slaughter in Oklahoma. The issue arose after analysis of House Bill 1999 by Rep. Skye McNiel.
Existing organization policy on horse slaughter in Oklahoma was examined during the organization's 108th annual state convention Feb. 22-23. After discussion, 850 AFR/OFU member-delegates unanimously adopted a modified policy on the controversial issue.
AFR/OFU members had previously adopted policy that supported USDA-inspected facilities, as most prior debate on the issue had been at the federal level. Rep. McNiel's 2013 legislative proposal provides for state-inspected facilities, which present a broader range of potential options for farmers, ranchers and business owners.
Detrick said that given the atmosphere of extremism and misinformation surrounding the issue, Rep. McNiel and other supporters of H.B. 1999 have endured extensive criticism and harassment by out-of-state animal activist groups.


We aim to bring together a cohort of people who are in the same boat – staring down their 20s, figuring out what's what, but knowing one thing for sure: that they want to work on things that make them happy. Now, don't get us wrong – there are plenty of opportunities at the Common Room to network with and learn from experts across all industries. But the core of the vision is about connecting young guns with young guns; giving each member a diverse network of up-and-comers.
