Khalid celebrated Thursday with six nominations for the Billboard Music Awards. The nominations include Top R&B Album for American Teen, Top R&B Artist, Top R&B Male Artist, Top Radio Song and Top Collaboration for "Love Lies" with Normani and Top R&B song for "Better" which was featured on his EP Sun City.

Thereafter, book matching is done, which involves cutting and brushing two slabs in a way that makes them both the mirror images of each other.

Retired FBI special agent R. Scott Decker (Ph.D. 1982) recounts his work on the anthrax task force in new book.
This and other anthrax-laden letters confirmed what the whole country had been fearing: After the 9/11 attacks, there was now another threat looming in the form of bioterrorism. There had already been one fatality: a photo editor in Florida had died on October 5; five more would follow. The Senate intern survived.
The FBI, already overwhelmed, now had to marshal even more resources to face this new threat. The agency created the Anthrax Task Force, and FBI supervisory special agent R. Scott Decker (Ph.D. 1982), fresh from leading a team of hazmat specialists at Ground Zero, soon found himself assigned to it.
The FBI called the case Amerithrax.
The letters containing anthrax had all been postmarked from Trenton, New Jersey, beginning around September 17. Mailed in two batches, the letters targeted New York media outlets, American Media in Florida, and lawmakers in Washington, D.C.
By late October 2001, scientists had isolated and identified the anthrax strain as Ames. It was housed in 16 U.S. institutions and three foreign ones, but narrowing the source any further was a daunting task. After searching for human DNA in the anthrax powder and coming up empty, Decker and his team looked closely at the spores themselves.
That's when an experienced lab technician named Terry Abshire spotted abnormalities while studying the spores under a microscope. The spores contained several mutations and the variants, known as morphs, could be used to determine the attack strain's DNA code. From this, scientists realized they could get the anthrax's genetic fingerprint.
The only problem? They still had to find the "fingerprint's" matching pair.
Decker and his team requested anthrax samples from labs across the country, painstakingly working to match the DNA of the attack spores. They discovered a match to a flask of liquid anthrax labeled RMR-1029 in a lab in Fort Detrick, Md. But who had access to the liquid, and who had the expertise to dry it into a powder and mail it, were still unknowns.
While Decker is convinced Ivins was mailing the anthrax letters, not everyone agrees. Henry Heine, a research colleague of Ivins at Fort Detrick, said it wouldn't have been possible for Ivins to create the anthrax in the lab undetected. Other experts argue that the level of skill required to create the anthrax powder far exceeded Ivins' capabilities.
Ivins committed suicide in July 2008, preventing the case from ever going to trial, and a Frye test — a method of determining the admissibility of scientific evidence in a case — was never completed.
And while there wasn't a trial in the case, Decker feels good about the work his team did. The FBI now does background checks on employees in anthrax labs, and lab surveillance cameras are nearly ubiquitous.

Song Story: "For the Glory of God"
"For the Glory of God" is a choral anthem written by Travis L. Boyd, which can currently be found on our website's Adult Choir music page in SATB, SSAA, and TTBB voicings. There is also a full orchestration available for this anthem. "For the Glory of God" features gently syncopated verses which lyrically extol the character and person of our great God, along with a strong chorus that begins with a statement of who God is in our lives, leading into an "Alleluia" section that ends with a description of our praise for Him and a re-statement of the reason for our praise. This anthem is in the current repertoire of the Georgia Baptist Convention's Jubalheirs, under the direction of Dr. Jon Duncan
First Baptist Church of Dublin, Georgia
A SONG STORY
"For the Glory of God" has been a demonstration of love that began as a desire to glorify God while also encouraging the heart of a Georgia Minister of Worship. Travis was contacted by some people who were active members of the Chancel Choir at First Baptist Church of Dublin, Georgia. They wanted to commission an anthem in honor of the 25th Anniversary of service to the Lord and to their congregation by their Minister of Worship and Music, Dick Burrell. It was the desire of these good people to encourage the heart of this dear servant of God through a worship song that could be sung by the choir on the occasion of the 25th Anniversary and would also then be sung by countless churches all around the world for the glory of God. Travis normally takes as inspiration for any commission work the favorite scripture and favorite hymn title of the person or group the song is being written for. In this case, there were no specifics given along these lines. Travis was told that Dick likes rhythmic choral anthems. Of course, the ultimate purpose of the piece would be to bring glory to God while also being a personal expression of love and encouragement from the choir members to their Director and Minister of Worship, who had served faithfully for many years and had recently lost his dear wife, Vicki.
The First Baptist, Dublin, ministry team did a great job pulling off the surprise for our brother Dick Burrell. What a great testimony of love from these people, who began working on this surprise months in advance. I know that brother Dick and all of their church would join with Travis and myself in praying that this song will go on to touch and reach hearts that we will not know on this side of Heaven. Here is the thank you
e-mail that brother Dick sent to Travis on Monday, Jan. 9th, 2012, after he been surprised with the anthem the day before:
Dick Burrell leading in worship, with the FBC Dublin Chancel Choir
"Dear Travis,
Thank you so much for the anthem, For the Glory of God. The Chancel Choir (over 40 voices yesterday) sang it in our morning worship. They had rehearsed whenever I was out of town at our church and other times when I was in town at either Pine Forest Methodist or FUMC. They did a wonderful job. Our pianist was a piano performance major at Shorter in the early 70's and did post grad work at the Mozarteum in Austria. They all got such a kick out of keeping this from me—-I had no clue. I look forward to a bit later working on it with them and doing the anthem again. You may not know that the Jubals sang God Is Faithful at my sweet Vicki's memorial service last March, so, it was most appropriate that they commissioned you to compose the anthem for my 25th anniversary.
Dick Burrell
May God use this anthem and all who direct or sing or play it for His glory!

"For the Glory of God," like all of Travis' anthems, is written to be performed with or without the full orchestration. The piano part is supportive, and chord symbols are included on the music for a rhythm section. The orchestration is written to be practical for church orchestra and will work with a wide variety of instrumentation, though all of the parts are available for full instrumentation. Travis is always careful in the writing of an orchestration to allow the orchestra to meaningfully enhance the performance of the anthem but also to make sure that the choir is not "covered up" when the orchestra plays. You will be more than happy with the results of this attention to detail and to the communication of the message.
"For the Glory of God" is available on our website's adult choir page @ http://www.worshipsounds.com You purchase the PDF master copy in your choice of full page or octavo format for $15.00, and then you are allowed to make an unlimited number of copies (for your own choir and rhythm section only). The orchestration, which includes parts for all instruments, a full score, and a string reduction for keyboard, is $30.00.

Blessings through God's Faithfulness
**THE SINGING CHURCHMEN OF OKLAHOMA**
The Singing Churchmen of Oklahoma will always be such a special group of brothers for me. As a member of the Churchmen for over 18 years, I have very close friendships with so many of the fine Ministers of Music and Worship in this group. We've travelled around the world together, sharing the good news of Christ though music, testimony, and every other way imaginable. I've been to Russia, Estonia, Latvia, China, Hong Kong, and Australia with this group. It has been a joy and a blessing to know these men, worship together with them during rehearsal times and concert performances, and then serve with them in other mission opportunities. One of the things that is most special about this talented group is their love for the Lord and for each other. These brothers pray for one another and are willing to help any of the group that may have a major need. We've seen God answer so many prayers. We've prayed for healing for each other, for those who were seeking a place of service, for family situations, and for God to use our efforts to glorify Himself. We've also prayed for doors to open in the countries to which we've travelled. There were often large stumbling blocks that could have been a real problem for our group and our ministry; but time after time, we saw God answer the prayers for open doors in really miraculous ways. For example, our group made the trip to Russia, Estonia, and Latvia just after the fall of Communism, in Spring of 1993. We were even able to minister and share the gospel in public schools, which was really amazing.
In our ministry as a group and in our individual lives, all of the Singing Churchmen of Oklahoma could testify to the faithfulness of our God. I was inspired to write a song about God's faithfulness in my life, and I shared it with Dr. Bill Green, who was then the Director of both The Singing Churchmen and The Singing Churchwomen of Oklahoma. Brother Bill loved "God is Faithful" and made it part of our concert repertoire for several years. The next time the Churchmen recorded a CD, "God is Faithful" became the title song. The song was eventually published by the Monarch division of Lorenz music, and I have no idea at this point how many churches are still singing it. I do hear from people regularly about how this song has touched their lives. That's the biggest blessing of all. It's a wonderful privelege to be able to share this message of God's faithfulness with my brothers in Christ in both Oklahoma and Georgia. The Sons of Jubal also have sung "God is Faithful," and it became the title song of one of their CD's (recorded in a different year & with different repertoire from the Churchmen CD). In addition, The Singing Churchwomen of Oklahoma have sung "God is Faithful" in many church concerts. It was also sung in Australia during our Singing Churchmen mission trip, but not by the men. The wives who went along on the mission trip to Australia in 2003 had their own choir, with over 80 of the women choosing to participate. They divided into 2 choirs for some events and sang together for others. These women gave concerts in churches all over the Sydney area (even in nearby seaside communities such as Cronulla) and then all over the Brisbane area, even singing at a pineapple canning factory. They were the groups that were singing "God is Faithful" in Australia, though everyone who went on that trip could testify to God's faithfulness in so many ways.
Many times, the message of "God is Faithful" has ministered to Cindy and I as we have faced trials. She has said that in the messages God inspires me to write, He knows the message that we will need to hear at some point in our future. If the song "God is Faithful" has been a blessing to you, remember that it is not the song itself that is the source of blessing. It's the TRUTH of the message of this song that makes it so meaningful to those of us who are walking with the Lord. What a blessing it is to know that our God is faithful in all things, and that he is ever-present in our lives!
"God IS faithful. He will not forget His own. God is faithful…He'll never leave you all alone! He's right beside you, waiting to guide you; for the One who called you is faithful. God is faithful…when the valley is so low. God is faithful…whereever He leads you to go! Cast your cares on Him, and rest within His loving arms. For the One who called you is faithful. God IS faithful ! " (Lyrics to the chorus from "God is Faithful")

The Psychology Behind Social-Good Brands, And Why Consumers Want To Be Part Of Their Mission
Brandon Hall, Co-Founder and CBO of ONEHOPE Wine
Social responsibility has become a hot topic over the past decade.
For some brands, this desire to give back to the world started long before it became a trendy addition to an investor pitch. Patagonia, for example, has been pledging 1% of their total sales to the preservation and restoration of our earth since 1985. Warby Parker and TOMS Shoes then threw a spin on corporate responsibility with their "Buy One, Give One" model—which caught on like wildfire.
And now with the next generation of consumers, Gen Z, supporting (and buying) more socially conscious brands, the idea of "giving back" as part of the business model no longer feels like a detail within the brand's narrative. It becomes the narrative itself.
Patagonia's Black Friday Ad, The New York Times, 2011
This has been exactly our experience at ONEHOPE Wine.
Starting a little over a decade ago, myself and seven others in the beverage space realized something unique about our industry—specifically when it came to wine. Wine is one of those gifts you bring for a special occasion, maybe a wedding or a birthday. It can also be a small token of appreciation, a housewarming gift, or even just a contribution to a shared dinner.
Making social impact a part of the mission
Having been in the beverage industry for quite a while, the eight of us had become familiar with all the usual promotional opportunities that companies take advantage of throughout the year: holidays, award shows, events, and even social good initiatives. Year after year, we would help raise tens of thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars for causes like Breast Cancer Awareness month—but then as soon as the month was over, all efforts would halt, and we'd wait to do it again the next year.
Eventually, my business partner and co-founder, Jake Kloberdanz, raised the question, "If we can have this big of an impact in one month out of the year, what would happen if we were able to do this twelve months out of the year?"
That was 11 years ago. And to date, ONEHOPE Wine has donated over $4 million to people in need which has provided 6,000 people with global health care. We've built 63,000 forever homes for shelter animals, 2.3 million meals for children, 5,100 people with one year of clean drinking water, and much more. This was all by making a positive impact on the world for every bottle sold.
The psychology of social-good brands
But something happened to me recently that revealed why the psychology of social-good brands is so effective—and genuinely resonates with consumers.
A few months ago, I was walking with my girlfriend along Manhattan Beach in California.
We came upon a lemonade stand and a little girl behind the tabletop with her plastic cups and a big jar of lemonade. Thirsty, my girlfriend and I decided to stop for a drink (and support this young entrepreneur). We then saw that on her jar it said, "Free Lemonade. Donations for charity only."
After she handed us our little plastic cups, I stuffed a $10 bill inside the jar without even thinking about it. "I'm not buying lemonade. I'm donating to a good cause," I found myself thinking—and clearly I wasn't alone. The jar was practically overflowing with tens and twenties.
Coincidentally, about ten minutes later we came up to another lemonade stand (business was good that day). This little girl had nearly the exact same setup, a tabletop, plastic cups and a big pitcher of lemonade. However, her jar's sign said, "Lemonade $1." Again, wanting to support this little girl, we both ordered a lemonade and I left her an extra $1 as a tip.
It wasn't until after the fact that I'd realized what had just happened.
Startups must resonate with beliefs and perspectives
Through perceived value alone, I had spent 3x more with the first girl selling lemonade. It had very little to do with the product itself, and everything to do with what the product (and this young founder) stood for—which is exactly why consumers are so attracted to brands like Warby Parker, TOMS Shoes, and ONEHOPE. We subconsciously want to do good in the world, we want to give back, sometimes we just don't know how. But when we're presented with opportunities to do so, we tend to give more money to the cause that resonates with our beliefs and perspectives on the world.
Unfortunately, a great number of aspiring companies tend to think that simply by saying, "Buy One, Give One," consumers will buy—and that's far from the case. The truth is, you still need to have a great product. You still need to prove you're actually making the impact you say you are. And you absolutely need to believe in the mission you are marketing. It needs to be part of the fabric of your brand, not just an add-on or a clever advertisement. You still need to have something people want to pay for in the first place. But as we've seen over the past decade building ONEHOPE into the fastest-growing direct-to-consumer wine brand in the country, your mission and a community that believes in it is what separates you from the competition.
It can also be the difference between someone spending $3, or giving $10.
Brandon Hall, Co-Founder & Chief Brand Officer of ONEHOPE Wine.

[Correction at end] Alan Shatter is concerned that RTÉ is not giving sufficient coverage to the upcoming referendum on the establishment of a civil court of appeal.
"I find it extraordinary that RTÉ on their six o'clock TV bulletin failed to make any mention whatsoever of the referendum being held to establish a court of appeal," the Minister said.
He may be right, but it is not a constitutional amendment that was ever likely to generate much interest. If the Government genuinely wanted to ensure a high profile debate on the proposal it should not have scheduled the vote to take place on the same date as the referendum to abolish the Seanad . That proposal concerns politicians and inevitably most air time is consumed by them.
What is far more extraordinary is that the Government has tucked away in the court of appeal referendum an entirely separate amendment to the Constitution. This separate amendment would remove one of the "one judgment" rules from the Constitution (see section 5 of the Thirty-third Amendment of the Constitution (Court of Appeal) Bill 2013). It has nothing to do with the court of appeal, but we will vote on both amendments together.
On October 4 next, as well as voting on abolishing the Seanad, we will consider a composite proposal, first to approve the establishment of a new Court of Appeal and, second, to remove a rule that when the Supreme Court makes a decision on a constitutional issue, only one judgment appears.
But, amazingly, the Government has limited our choice. We must vote for or against the package. We may not approve one part but not the other.
The one judgment rule (article 34.4.5°) arises when someone challenges the constitutionality of a law before the Supreme Court. Usually, the Supreme Court issues a majority judgment and other judges who sit on the particular case can supplement that judgment with comments of their own or, if they disagreed, can issue a dissenting judgment outlining why they took a different position. This is not the case with a constitutional challenge, when only one judgment may be issued and no others can be published which indicates the majority view.
This was apparently seen to indicate a dissenting opinion which, it was felt, could greatly reduce the authority of the decision of the court and, we are informed, and it is commonly believed, led directly to the additional clauses by the Act of 1941 in both Article 26 and Article 34.
What is important is legal certainty as to the judgment, which may affect fundamental issues. It was also suggested that the one-judgment rule allows the Supreme Court to provide the legislature with certainty without any of its members becoming the subject of political criticism and, possibly, pressure. Moreover, certainty would not be provided by a three-to-two judgment where at any time in the future a judge might change his mind on a fundamental issue.
2 the publication of dissenting opinions serves only to weaken the authority of the court's pronouncement and impair its persuasiveness.
There are clearly reasonable arguments in favour of removing the one judgment rule as is now proposed and the Government could credibly argue that this is a "tidying up" referendum which is merely implementing a recommendation made in 1996 (by a Review Group, it could be noted, established by Fine Gael and Labour when they were last in office).
But the one judgment rule can hardly be thought of as a pressing issue. Why has the Government not taken the opportunity to consider the operation of the article 26 reference power of the President, to which the one judgment also applies, and consider wider reform of the law on constitutional challenges? After all, one of the reasons for establishing a civil court of appeal is to free up the Supreme Court so that it can devote its time to constitutional issues.
There is certainly a good case for deleting 26.2.2 and 34.4.5, but this is pretty arcane stuff to be putting to the people in a referendum. Any such proposal would surely have to be part of a reform package if it was to generate much interest from the electorate, especially given the 'referendum fatigue' noted by Theresa Reidy in her post here on 2 July.
Furthermore, there are existing forums to consider such wider reform. The 1996 Review Group considered almost all aspects of the Constitution, including constitutional challenges in the Supreme Court, and made recommendations for reform. The current Government established a Constitutional Convention albeit one which, despite the grand title, has a limited remit and is ordered to consider a specific list of limited issues, few of which are particularly pressing.
It is peculiar that the current Government has embarked on a series of referendums on constitutional reform which are separate from the Convention. Why are some issues to be considered by the Convention and others not? Why are some amendments proposed, presumably on the basis of recommendations almost 20 years ago, whereas others are put through a fresh round of consideration?
The most important current question is, however: why is the abolition of the one judgment rule not proposed in a separate bill and subject to a separate vote?
there is little or no debate on the issue.
One might wonder if this is the future of constitutional amendments in Ireland: small "tidying up" measures being tucked into larger reforms, with no government or political attention being drawn to them, no real debate and no option to vote separately on each issue.
PS: Given that polling day on 4 October 2013 includes a referendum on Seanad abolition it is ironic that the only Oireachtas debate on the abolition of the one judgment rule that I could find was in the Seanad (Senator Ivana Bacik; Senator Averil Power).
It is my strong view that justice is best served by giving the Judiciary the freedom, where they so desire, to give judgments, including minority judgments, on important matters concerning the constitutionality of our laws. For the time being, this reform, in line with the review group's recommendation, is limited to the Article 34. Therefore, if the referendum is carried, both the court of appeal and the Supreme Court will be able to issue multiple judgments in cases involving challenges to the constitutionality of laws, in the same way as in all other cases that come before them.
Must one suspect sleight of hand – and, just to be 'safe,' vote agin the government?' When in doubt, say No?

Is Greece on a path to stability or just delaying an inevitable disaster?
The answer won't come for weeks or months, but financial analysts are not optimistic.
Greece is in talks with international creditors about a second package of rescue loans similar in size to the €110 billion bailout it received last year. The aim is to keep Greece from defaulting on its crushing national debt.
But to get the new loans, Greece will probably be forced to adopt new austerity measures, such as tax hikes and pension cuts, and the prospect of new cuts has already led to unrest in Athens.
The prime minister of Greece, George Papandreou, confirmed that his nation was talking with world lenders about a second financial rescue package "roughly equal" to what Greece received last year.
In Luxembourg, European finance ministers were meeting to consider whether to release about €10 billion to Greece from the first rescue package.
Europe and the International Monetary Fund say new loans for Greece are contingent on Greece's passing budget cuts before the end of the month. Those measures have already led to angry protests and forced the prime minister to reshuffle his government.
Who is paying for the Greek bailout?
Other European nations and the International Monetary Fund. Germany had demanded that the private sector, primarily international banks that hold Greek government bonds, share some of the pain by waiting longer to be repaid. Germany softened its demands on Friday by agreeing that any burden-sharing by private bondholders be strictly voluntary, calming the financial markets.
How likely is it that Greece will default on its debt?
Bond traders are betting a default is almost certain. It now costs more than ever to insure Greek debt. At prices quoted Friday, the insurance contracts suggest an 80 percent chance that Greece will default in the next five years, according to data from Markit, a financial information provider.
Why is a potential Greek default such a big deal?
The real worry is a domino effect. Or, to use a better analogy, says Guy LeBas, chief fixed income strategist at Janney Capital Markets, think of it as a spider web — pluck one string and the whole thing shakes.
Banks lend money to governments and to each other to make sure everyone has enough cash to operate every day, and banks insure each other's debt. If Greece defaults, banks will charge more money to make loans or stop lending altogether. At the same time, they'll have to raise at least €210 billion to cover insurance contracts on Greek debt.
That's why many analysts are drawing comparisons to what happened after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the storied investment bank, in 2008. Lending froze up around the world, all the way down to small businesses and individual borrowers in the United States. The credit crunch deepened the worldwide recession.
At the least, bond investors would demand higher borrowing rates from other deeply indebted European countries, including Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Belgium. Borrowing costs for Ireland and Portugal have already jumped to record highs, with 10-year interest rates topping 10 percent. Just as a comparison, the U.S. rate is about 3 percent.
What is Greece doing about all this?
The Greek government wants to enact further austerity measures, such as raising taxes, cutting public wages and selling state assets. And it will probably have to before it gets a fresh bailout package. But the public has reacted angrily, staging violent protests in central Athens. The union that represents employees in the state-run electric system has threatened a strike and blackouts.
