Calum Chambers leads England to U21’s Final

Calum Chambers may have all but disappeared from the Arsenal squad in the second half of last season, but he is obviously enjoying his football. He is currently with the England U21s at the Toulon Tournament, and last night he captained the side that beat Japan 1-0 and are now through to the Final after winning all four games so far.

It would great for his confidence if he can captain his country to win a trophy, and perhaps next season he will be ready for a more regular place in Wenger’s starting X! Chambers himself feels like this season has still been part of his apprenticeship. Just a couple of weeks ago, Calum told the official Arsenal website: “You have to grow up very quickly,” he told Arsenal Player. “I remember moving to the first-team dressing room with Southampton for the first time at the start of the season.

“The jump from academy football to first-team football was huge. You are around grown men all the time and you are not used to it. The training is a lot more physical and you have to learn how to deal with it and cope with it as quickly as possible. That is a very important stage of growing up in football.

“The mental challenges [you face] are obviously being confident within yourself and in your ability for your first few sessions with the first team or when you move to the dressing room. [You need to] show everyone what you can do.

“That is one of the important things. Also, when you first go from academy grounds to stadiums with a lot of people watching, that is hard to start with, but you have to learn to be comfortable with it and deal with it.

“When you get into that environment, you can be uncomfortable. When you have done it once or twice, you feel that excitement and buzz from the crowd and you just want to do it more and more.”

Could it be possible that Wenger will NOT be bringing in a new centre-back this summer, and promote Chambers instead?

    I actually would like to see Chambers be given a chance, and he’s had a raw deal from Wenger so far.

    I remember Chambers’s Arsenal career starting in his natural position (centre back), and impressing without being spectacular, but was soon hung out to dry at right-back by Wenger. Just one look at the physical attributes of Chambers, tells us he is definitely NOT a fullback, especially after seeing him play in that position, and consistently get roasted by any winger with speed. It’s baffling that Wenger has persisted with Chambers in this position for so long, considering the poor performances. Then again, Wenger has done the same with Ramsey, and many other players for long periods.

    Chambers has received a lot criticism for his performances, which is totally unfair, as he’s almost always out of position. To be fair, he has put in some poor performances at centre back, but that should be expected considering he rarely plays there, and never gets a run of games in that position.

    He’s not had a chance to develop at Arsenal thus far, but I hope he gets more of a chance this season, and I think he could become a quality player for us.

    Opinions divided. What do you think? Thumb up 16 Thumb down 6

      I hate people who talk in hindsight as it would be logical to know that beforehand… and you my friend belong to that small-minded group
      chambers IS a versatile player and thats a fact! when he came, he came as a rightback.. another fact, he played as a RB against us, but then wenger was the one who used him as CB and sometimes as a CDM first of all, chambers developping ist just perfect, what do you want? another wilshere, sterling or the tons of other english youngsters who get thrown in and hyped up? chambers gets his chances and starts for a top club if you want a chamber to be a first-team player then you are the one who has no plan of managing/developping a young player or you haven’t got the mentality of a top club, we cant just start a youngster in all positions, bellerin was smoothed in, then coq and then iwobi and chambers is getting his chances and he was good but couldnt make a big hold on a starting position and thats absolutely okay nobody is and should be expecting that from him

        I’m well aware Chambers started out as a versatile player, but as I’ve already said, his natural position IS clearly at CB!

        Clearly you haven’t seen Chambers play at RB, and as a DM, because if you had done, you wouldn’t say he was a versatile player. You talk about facts, and it’s a FACT that Chambers has performed very poorly in those two position. Not because he’s young, and learning his trade or that he was just out of form, it’s because he’s not suited to those positions. Unlike the other youngsters you’ve mentioned, Chambers hasn’t been given a fair chance.

        A question for Krish – how do expect Chambers to develop, if he’s consistently played out of position, and barely given a game?

          Fair enough and my answer is: a young player should sometimes collect experience in different positions, i dont see it as just playing out of positions, wenger guardiola cruyff a lot of offensive minded world class coaches have said that they dont just want a specialists they want 10 men who can play football even defenders too, and i agree to some things there, chambers gets enough games for a young player in a top club and thats the thing with squad/young players they have to learn and often they cant start in their favourite positions cause we have starters there and if their is a slot free they cam jump into starting line up in that free role, bellerin and coq werent presented their chances contrary to your opinion i still remember that a lot of fans wanted the season before the last that bellerin and coq would be used more, but the problem is we arent southampton we are arsenal, if a young player gets his chance, he will only get a run if he performs, if he doesnt perform greatly that isnt a problem too, it isnt a wasted start they will learn from playing that position and can use that experience when they get a chance to start in their favorite role in the cup games, so chambers IS developping, and he has luck that wenger sees him as flexible and versatile cause if not he would start even less, the same thing goes to wilshere too, he isnt a starting player if he gets a chance to start at right wing then he should do his best to learn from there, and if he is good enough he can slot into the midfield but if not he gets onto the bench or has to learn his trade in a different position.
          a lot of the fans cried when monreal had to start as a cb but do you remember that once gibbs was a starter and we all feared when monreal started at his fav position? and through learning in like you call it ‘out of position’ he improved and we all started to call him mr. consistent

          Wenger does know one or two things about developping a player 🙂

      I think you should get your facts right….Calum played as box to box midfielder at junior level. It was Southampton who first converted him to RB. He actually shared first team duties equally with Nathaniel Clyne (the england RB just in case you dont know)..while at Southampton…It was Wenger and not you who first spot his potential at CB…and I think almost everyone here now agrees that his long term future at Arsenal lies at CB…

      I for one think he needs to be loan out because I believe he will improve faster if he have the chance to play regularly at CB at other lower level clubs but I dont think this will happen if he were to stay at Arsenal this season. He has massive potentials but he needs to iron out one or two weaknessess in his game to be a top CB at higher level….From what i can see he now tends to jump into rash tackles rather often and sometimes ending up missing them totally or fouling the opponents…So he needs to improve his composure OFF the ball….2nd he can also improve his strength particularly in the air…

      I believe he is a top prospects at CB and if he is able to get one or a half solid season at CB under his belt with lower level club (premier league or in the championship) , he’ll come back stronger and able to seriously contest for the starting position at Arsenal….

    Ideally, I’d bring back Schez he’ll learn a lot from Cech, professionalism, calmness and keeping his mouth shut (from talking and smoking at odd times lol) and give him 30 to 40% of games throughout the season, sell Ospina, relatively short keepers don’t last too long in the game [Barthez, Casillas?]. I’d get Jonathan Tah who plays both Right Back and Centre Back sell Debuchy and Gibbs and bring in Rodriguez from Wolfsburg, dunno about Jenks still, midfield is virtually sorted for now, get in Janssen and Milik. Players in will be Tah, Rodriguez (optional), Janssen and Milik. The idea is to create a fierce competition for places among hungry players who still have a lot to prove and freshen up a stale squad; for e.g Giroud can keep his spot if he can prove that he’s better than those two, Xhaka’s signing will be more than just his ability, he brings a practical kind of leadership to the team like he did at Gladbach, apparently he has no tolerance for mediocrity even from himself.

      I will welcome them though, just unlikely for both at once.

    I don’t believe another CB similar age to Chambers, coming in, would mean a loss of faith in Chambers. We are short at CB, and Arsene likes adding youth to the squad.

    Anyone see that Higuain goal for Argentina, Bergkampesk if I ever seen one. Suarez Messi Aguero eat your heart out, brilliant individual skill topped off by sublime finishing ability.

    Chambers should have been allowed more first team football this past season..he really needs it..

    He can pair with Gabriel and Kos
    I really hope he gets plenty chances next season to show he is better than John Stones..
    Wish him well in his England duties…

    In other news,Flamini in talks for a contract extension…doesn’t bother me much as I don’t think he will get much of a sniff..

    Tbh he wasn’t that great against Japan. But hope they win obviously. He hasn’t exactly impressed so far at the club but still has a ton of time to make his mark. In other news a bunch of our players seem to be flirting with transfer rumours (not concerned about Ramsey’s nonsense cause nobody in La Liga wants wants him). Maybe we should start winning the league if we want to keep our best players. Just a thought. So this Zapata rumours better be nonsense made up by his agent I’m hoping.

1st Oregon News Minute from the AP

Date: 10/30/2013 03:59 AM

AP-OR–1st NewsMinute/269
Here is the latest Oregon news from The Associated Press

MYRTLE POINT, Ore. (AP) – A Myrtle Point man was injured after getting hit by a car driven by his grandmother. The Coos County Sheriff’s Office said 19-year-old Bobby Cruse sustained a fractured femur and abrasions when he was struck while walking near the family home Sunday. Officials say 60-year-old Patricia Cruse’s car went into a ditch and traveled up an embankment before striking the teen on a road.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – Police have arrested seven protesters at Portland’s main post office. A police spokesman says protesters concerned with labor issues tried to enter a secure area yesterday and one ended up in a scuffle with a postal inspector. All seven have been charged with criminal trespassing.

VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) – A Clark County sheriff’s officer says a parent was arrested at a Vancouver-area elementary school after storming into the principal’s office. Evergreen Public Schools says York Elementary was briefly placed on lockdown during yesterday morning’s dispute. . The Columbian reports authorities arrested 25-year-old Ciera Davis, who faces a fourth-degree assault charge.

BEAVERTON, Ore. (AP) – Reser’s Fine Foods says a recall of packaged salads produced at its Topeka, Kan., plant was prompted by a routine check of products sold in Canada. A U.S. Food and Drug Administration spokeswoman said yesterday that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency found a strain of Listeria in some ready-to-eat macaroni and cheese and, as a result, implemented a voluntary recall of affected products. Some 450 products sold under the name of Beaverton-based Reser’s and others were recalled.

Going for the Gold

When I say gold, I am not intending it means a medal. I use this term about a person intending to get the best or most out of some endeavor. In this case it is a score in bowling.

I watch people in a practice session before any bowling event. After each first throw, if it is not a strike, many either foul intentionally or push the reset to attain a full rack. This way they can practice their first throw, or should I say their strike shot.

At first I was worried they would develop the lane differently than development during the tournament. That the oil depletion and carry down would result in ball reaction not matching what happens during the tournament to a great degree. However, everyone uses different equipment and different lines to find out which ball gives them the best reaction so I no longer worry about different ball reaction from practice to the tournament. I now ponder the meaning of only practicing for a strike.

Yes, there is the token throwing of a shot or two at the 7 and 10 pin at the end of the practice session, but that is only a token and nothing like real competition. The balance of spares and strikes has possibly been permanently changed.

A 200 average bowler of the past never missed a spare. A 200 average bowler of today misses 2 or 3 spares a game. It is that 4 or 5 strikes in a row that keeps them over 200. To attain an average even higher such as 210 or 220, the 200 average bowler attempts to get more strikes. If the bowler gets more strikes it means he or she is shooting at less spares.

Filling the frame is a phrase not heard too many times in the game of today. One of the reasons that we see triple digit differences from one game to the next. It is not uncommon to see scores of 250 and above and then the very next game the very same bowler shoots 150.

Another possible cause for this is the dominate style being learned today is the power game. If the ball does not hit the pocket, the high spin rate ball entering the pins at a large angle will leave spares that are very difficult to pick up. Filling the frame becomes more difficult.

Is the balance of spares and strikes permanently changed? By going for the gold, it seems to me that we are missing 90% of the joy bowling.

This worries me, but at this time, bowling is still a seemingly and good diversion.

Like Bonhoeffer, I fear that the gospel has been humiliated in our time. But if this has happened, it is not because the message -- the good news that God loves us unconditionally in Jesus Christ, that we are freed and forgiven in God's amazing grace -- has changed. Nor is it due to the machinations of secularists, or because the post-Enlightenment world has dispensed with the hypothesis of God. The Christian faith has not only endured modernity and post-modernity, but flourished in its new settings.

The gospel has been humiliated because too many American Christians have decided that there are more important things to talk about. We would rather talk about our country, our values, our troops, and our way of life; and although we might think we are paying tribute to God when we speak of these other things, we are only flattering ourselves.

If only holiness were measured by the volume of our incessant chatter, we would be universally praised as the most holy nation on earth. But in our fretful, theatrical piety, we have come to mistake noisiness for holiness, and we have presumed to know, with a clarity and certitude that not even the angels dared claim, the divine will for the world. We have organized our needs with the confidence that God is on our side, now and always, whether we feed the poor or corral them into ghettos.

To a nation filled with intense religious fervor, the Hebrew prophet Amos said: You are not the holy people you imagine yourselves to be. Though the land is filled with festivals and assemblies, with songs and melodies, and with so much pious talk, these are not sounds and sights that are pleasing to the Lord. "Take away from me the noise of your congregations," Amos says, "you who have turned justice into poison."

Psalm 46 tells us, "Be still and know that I am God." Dietrich Bonhoeffer, in his classic work on Christian community, "Life Together," spoke of a silence "before the Word." He affirmed the wisdom of the Psalmist, and spoke of a listening silence that brings "clarification, purification, and concentration upon the essential thing."

Read it all.

I wish Marsh had actually told us what Graham said and in what context - seeing the work that Graham actually does seems to me that he would agree with the last portion of Marsh’s assertion.  Accordingly, I wonder if Marsh is bearing false witness against his brother?

But where is the Gospel in his piece? In a nutshell, he accuses evangelicals of being GWB puppets and assuming the Gospel points the way they want it to, then works his way through a chunk of the lib-prot pantheon…. assuming the Gospel points the way he wants it to. Does anyone (pro- or con-Iraq) really think GWB has been a significant factor in American religious life? I doubt any more than Jesse Jackson’s or Bill Clinton’s “public repentance tours” - we’re used to that dance. And the admonition to “listening silence” - can this mean anything other than Marsh’s assumed audience being silent so they can listen to him? His points from Bonhoeffer are well taken - his bio indicates some expertise there - but the extra commentary wears thin…

Nate - evangelicalism is almost as overtly political as predominantly African-America congregations are - except that evangelicalism is politically more conservative.

One of the problems with Chrisianity in this country is what C S Lewis called “Christianity and…”  The liberals have Christianity and Social Justice, Christianity and poverty, Christianity and health care reform, Christianity and the Pro-choice movement et. al.  The conservatives have Christianity and the pro-life movement, Christianity and family values, Christianity and smaller government.

Neither Jesus Christ nor his Church endorse political parties or movements.  God will not be used as a means to anything, except Himself and, as Christians, our ultimate goal should be union with God and not a political position.  Another issue is that many in the MSM like nothing more than to play “let’s you and him fight” and so they pick two people who have much more in common in their faith (a politically liberal Christian and a politically conservative Christian) and get them fighting about their differences.  Often they get political activists who put politics ahead of faith to fight and this gives the impression that Christians cannot get along.  It also gives the impression that these men and women are the leaders that other Christians should follow.  Thus, the witness of Jesus Christ to change lives and change our culture (which does not wish to be changed) is greatly diminished.

How do we solve this?  First, we must recognized that all Christians want a just society, they just differ on what that looks like and how to best get there.  Second, we need to stop using the name of Jesus or Christian as some form of politically mantra that is designed to tell others that Jesus supports us - that God is on our side.

Jesus does not support us, we should be supporting Jesus.  I don’t care if God is on my side.  I care only that I am on God’s side.

I particularly like Charles Marsh’s encouragement, for those of us who are committed to serving and glorifying Jesus Christ, to pay attention to the voices of Christians around the world. The Holy Spirit is given to the whole Body of Christ. If we are to discern the truth of the Holy Spirit, we need do this as a collected Body.

It seems particularly important to pay attention to those voices in the Body of Christ with which we do not agree. A question I often ask myself and others is What would it take for God to convince you that you are wrong about something? If we separate ourselves from those with whom we disagree, are we separating ourselves from God’s corrective word for us?

I also appreciate Marsh’s directing us to the prophet Amos and to Bonhoeffer’s witness. Scripture continually presents a picture of the people of God struggling to understand how they were to live in their culture. This is also evident in the testimony of Bonheoffer’s life.

Lord, have mercy on us, and help us to be Your faithful witnesses.

Funny how certain people justify all manner of militantism on behalf of “social justice”  and “inclusiveness”— claiming Jesus from top to bottom—yet have a problem with defence of liberty and intervention on behalf of the downtrodden.

No, Mr. Marsh, the world does not hate America ... but leftist do, and to the extent that a nation has a leftist government at any given time they will oppose us. See France, Canada, and Germany a few years back. They changed governments and somehow no longer have a problem with America.

The remarkable thing about Mr. Bush, and his faith, is that given the constant barrage of insults and opposition he has endured for the last number of years—beginning no later than when he decided America would stop being a victim—he has retained his perspective, peace of mind, and humor. Apart from Reagan, no President in my lifetime (and I include Truman here) has even come close.

Even now, neither of the Presidents he so obviously voted for are particularly well-regarded by history, so his attacks on Mr. Bush, no matter how wrapped up in God-language they might be, simply lack the sort of credibility that matters to history.

#8 “Bart”—I would switch to decaf if I were you-
Perhaps I mis-spoke- but not by much.
In his 1981 book The Fundamentalist Phenomenon Jerry Falwell admits that through much of the 1950s and 1960s he was actively warning his flock (presumably Christian evangelicals) to stay away from involving themselves in politics. He says that they “were wasting their time from what they were called to do” by involving themselves overtly in the political process. Of course, fundamentalists of the early 20th century were famous for their rejection of popular culture (and politics), instead accepting the notion that one’s cultural duties were largely bound by church & home.

The abolitionist and prohibition movements of which you speak were absolutely taken up by evangelicals, however, those evangelicals were only a part of both coalitions—These movements included run of the mill humanitarians, political progressives, Democrats and Republicans. So, of course, they were involved Bart. My original point still stands that despite their involvement in these movements, “I don’t think there’s any question that modern evangelicals are more overtly political (and partisan) than they ever have been. This is because they’ve begun to practice prophetic politics by building a political coalition (which is pretty specifically partisan). The 19th century evangelicals (when they were active) were characterized by a willingness to practice consolidation politics by working through both parties (and at the turn of the century all three) to accomplish their ends.

#10 Nate, your statement that

modern evangelicals are more overtly political (and partisan) than they ever have been

is a truism in that “modern evangelicals” (i.e., formerly known as fundamentalists) didn’t exist as such until they began to assert their political power.  “Fundamentalists” only really began to withdraw from the broader culture in the late 1920’s (following the Scopes trial); they weren’t absent from the American political scene for very long.
To say that the abolition and prohibition were “taken up” by evangelicals, who were “only a part of both coalitions” is misleading.  Abolition and prohibition were evangelical issues from the start.  People like John Wesley (against distilled liquor, not all alcohol) and William Wilberforce changed public opinion in favor of their causes.  And the 19th-century evangelicals were indeed politically active, in fact were the beginning of “progressive” (as opposed to radical, i.e., Marxist, socialist, or anarchist) politics.  Of course, all this just serves to remind how protean such labels really are.

Another labeling curiosity is that the early-mid 19th century evangelicals were usually stuck in the old Protestant denominations rather than having their own (though the Wesleyans split off in the 1830s I think). This makes it difficult to separate out who was evangelical from who wasn’t. I hesitate to say that abolitionism (especially) was predominantly an “evangelical” issue because of the broad support it enjoyed in Northern Protestant circles (though not universal as some Protestants of Southern Indiana and Ohio were southern apologists). Another vexing issue is the role of regionalism. Southern evangelicals (with the exception of the North Carolina Quakers I suppose) were supportive to acquiescent regarding slavery. It’s complicated to say that evangelicals spear-headed abolitionism.
Regarding your comment about evangelicals being the beginning of progressive politics—True to an extent, though, I would say that the populist political movement was a significant player too. Regardless, those 19th century reformers worked across party lines to achieve both abolition and prohibition (my consolidation politics soapbox).

Koca Steamboat Restaurant @ New World Park, Penang.

The market for steamboat buffet is expanding in a very fast pace recently in Penang, with the recent mushrooming of all these steamboat buffet restaurants, Penangites are no longer being limited with choices. My recent visit to Koca Steamboat Restaurant, a newly opened steamboat restaurant that situated at New World Park, was very satisfying indeed. Unlike other steamboat restaurants/outlets, Koca serves steamboat buffet dinner in a way more sophisticated way, where there were air-conditioners in the restaurant, and the way of serving was totally different as well. One needs to order the desired steamboat ingredients from the menu given instead of picking up the food at the kiosk or tables, but the restaurant management was kind enough, for first timer, they will actually bring all of them from the menu to your table. If you wish to order for more, then you might opt for second round. The draw back was the food choices were pretty limited, and everything will be in a fixed portion where you can only order plate by plate. Service was a bit slow and the team was obviously lacking of experience in handling the crowd but they were very polite and helpful to customers. Price for buffet dinner is Rm26+ for adult, while set lunch will be Rm12.90 net. To find Koca Steamboat Restaurant, look for Passion of Kerala (few lots away from Passion of Kerala) and Tarn Thai (opposite Tarn Thai Restaurant). All the food found in Koca Steamboat Restaurant are pork free.

A plate of Deep Fried Dumplings will be given to you first, all the dumplings have maintained the crispiness, and can be very a good finger food to start the scrumptious meal.

All the ingredients were well-presented and being placed on a tray. The food we had were home made fish balls, home made dumplings, home made fish cake, home made seaweed dumplings, home made chicken balls, crab sticks, prawns, cuttlefish, jellyfish, chicken meats, fish slices etc....Koca gives me a very homely feeling where most of the ingredients were freshly made instead of using the frozen food. I would personally recommend my readers to try their seaweed dumplings, home made fish balls and fish cake, very springy and uniquely flavored.

As for the noodles, we had spinach noodles (green colored noodles), you may opt for white rice as well. The spinach noodles were very good in my opinion, simply boil them in the soup and top with some deep fried garlic and some chopped chilies and soy sauce, simple yet delicious.

There are only two types of soup bases available in Koca- Tom Yam and Clear soup. The soup bases were reasonably flavored, there were some cabbage and mushrooms being inserted into the soup before the steamboat pot was being brought over to our table. Tom Yam soup was not too shabby, but the clear soup base was very impressive, especially after the sweetness from cabbage being blended into the soup, everything was so down to earth and delectable.

For the sauce, we were given a small plate of home made chili sauce which tasted like sesame seeds mixed with Thai style chili sauce, we requested for some chopped chilies and soy sauce as well. As for the free flow drinks, there were two types of drinks available, namely chrysanthemum tea and chinese tea.

Peanut Butter and Strawberry

The best. I look for this one at every store I stop into. Sheer delicious ecstasy...

This seriously is one of my favorite KIND bars. It tastes exactly like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I love it so much and it's the best snack after a hard workout. :) Highly recommend to peanut butter lovers.

new favorite

Perfect twist on the classic pb & j.

What's wrong with soy?

Nice product. Wonder why everyone is complaining about soy? It's a complete protein that has been eaten for thousands of years in a culture with the fewest nutritional related diseases in the entire world.

I grew up eating PB & strawberry jam sandwiches, never the grape jelly. Good substitute.
I don't care for the soy...but I'll make an exception for occasional foods like Kind. If there's some way to avoid the soy in Kind bars, they'd be even better.

Remove SPI

I was tempted to order this until I noticed the review about soy protein isolate being added to a "natural" snack. Don't start sliding on the ingredients in your products.
I have several other Kind items on autoship. Will check labels closer now. :(

Soy Protein Isolate?

I'm very disappointed to see soy protein isolate on the ingredients list of the peanut butter & strawberry KIND bars. I switched from cheap/unhealthy snack bars to KIND bars in an effort to eat more whole/natural foods. I assure you there is nothing whole or natural about soy protein isolate, and there is plenty of reasearch to back me up. I will not be buying anymore KIND products until it pulls this unhealthy ingredient from it's bars.

Like PB+J Sandwich On The Go

I love that Kind turned the classic PB+J sandwich into a delicious snack bar. As a busy college student it easily becomes a tasty on the go snack.

So fresh

So moist and fresh. Tastes like fresh-ground peanuts and strawberries I just picked.

just like pb&j

I was hesitant to try another flavor, but was gifted one of the holiday kind boxes and was pleasantly surprised with this one. tastes just like a pb&j sandwich!!

PB&J Heaven

Dear KIND - Thank you SO much for this delicious lower-calorie alternative to the real thing. I am a PB&J fanatic and this bar is superb. I knew I loved KIND bars before discovering this flavor, but with this one you've made me a lifelong fan. Thanks again!

PB&J Lovers

this kind bar is great you can taste the flavors theses bars are a great snack food

Pb and strawberry

Love this as a my snack for the day!

My fav!

I love Kind bars in general, but this flavor is AMAZING! It is like having a mini PB & J on the go! As a future dietitian, healthy snacks are very important to me. The fiber and protein in this bar, combined with the great taste, make me ecstatic:]

My first KIND bar & I am HOOKED!

My friend gave me this KIND bar when I visited her in Chicago. WOW! I immediately went to your website to order more. YUMMM! Thanks!

For Reals...

Def the BEST flavor! Great snack b/t meals that satisfies the appetite! :)

You hit a home run with this bar! The flavor combination is right on the mark, neither the peanut butter or the strawberry dominate. It was just like eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, only better.

PB & Strawberry....

kindly good :)

PB&J lovers rejoice

For anyone that still likes the taste of a fresh PB&J - yes, you will thoroughly enjoy this KIND flavor! YUM

Killer T Cell Activity in the Paraneoplastic Neurologic Syndromes

Open (Enrolling)
Paraneoplastic Syndromes

Thank you

Trial Information

Killer T Cell Activity in the Paraneoplastic Neurologic Syndromes

Patients with paraneoplastic neurological disorders (PNDs) provide a unique model for
studying tumor immunity and neuronal autoimmunity. We hypothesize that T lymphocyte
autoimmune dysfunction is involved in the pathogenesis of the paraneoplastic neurological
syndromes, and that killer T cells are involved in the targeting and successful killing of
tumor cells in these cancer patients. Furthermore, we postulate that this activity may
provide a model for autoimmune brain disease. We will assess the immune responses in PND
patients, correlate these with the clinical data (time course of disease, symptoms and
signs, disability), and collect and archive clinical data, serum and cells from PND patients
for current and future studies into the basic immune system phenomenon present in PND

Inclusion Criteria:

- Neurological disease which is suspected to be paraneoplastic

- No known active additional malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancer

Exclusion Criteria:

- Known central nervous system (CNS) metastasis

A Multidisciplinary Study of Breast Cancer in Ghana: Pilot Phase

18 Years
74 Years
Open (Enrolling)
Breast Neoplasms

Thank you

Trial Information

A Multidisciplinary Study of Breast Cancer in Ghana: Pilot Phase

Breast cancer is becoming a more common disease in Africa, with a high proportion of cases
developing among women under age 35. Despite this, there is scant information on
predisposing factors in African populations. We are proposing a multidisciplinary
case-control study in two teaching hospitals in Accra and Kumasi that treat the majority of
breast cancers in Ghana. Over the three year study period, it is anticipated that
approximately 1,500 cases and 3,000 population controls will be accrued between the two
sites. The investigation will be preceded by an intensive one year pilot phase where the
feasibility of planned study efforts will be assessed. Tumor tissue samples will also be
sought from cases in order to classify them into subtypes (including triple negative tumors,
which predominate among young African women). A detailed questionnaire will be administered
in hospital, and subjects will be asked to donate blood, saliva, and stool samples for
assessment of genetic and other biologic markers. Similar materials will be collected from
population controls, who will be identified through the 2010 Ghanaian Census. In addition
to providing unique data relevant for improving prevention activities, this study will build
capacity for additional research activities in Ghana.

Inclusion Criteria

- Eligible for inclusion as cases in this study will be women, 18-74 years of age, who
have been residents of defined catchment areas in the two cities for at least one
year's time and who are either diagnosed at the study hospitals (KBTH and KATH) or
referred there for clinical care. The catchment area in Accra will consist of 10
districts in greater Accra (Accra, Adenta, Tema, Ashaiman, GaEast, GaWest,
Ledzekuku-Krowor, Weija, Dangme East, Dangme West), 2 in the eastern region (Suhum
Kraboa Coaltar, Akuapem south) and 1 in the central region (Awutu Senya).

- We do not anticipate excluding any breast cancer patients in Accra due to residency
other than those who have recently migrated into the city. In Kumasi, we will be
excluding some patients based on district of residence, although the vast majority of
those coming to KATH for a diagnosis should be coming from the nearby areas.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Easy to fall out The earrings were very cute. I wore them two times. The second time I wore them I found one had slid out and fell into my hair. Later that afternoon I found that I lost one. There is no backing on them and they seem like they should stay in as they are long enough but clearly not.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Very thin wires This earring is made of such thin-gauge wire that I just returned them right away. I can't imagine these not been damaged extremely easily.

Lady Liberty’s Sea-Washed Gates Closed Indefinitely

Aired 12/13/12

The Statue of Liberty still lifts her lamp beside the golden door, but the island that's home to the iconic statue was severely tempest-tost by Superstorm Sandy. Flood damage inflicted by the storm has closed Liberty Island and nearby Ellis Island indefinitely.

On Thursday, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar made his first visit to the Statue of Liberty since the storm. David Luchsinger, superintendent of the Statue of Liberty National Monument, led the secretary on a walking tour.

"You folks would not have been able to walk around here the first couple weeks," Luchsinger says. "It was quite devastating."

The statue itself escaped the storm unscathed. But across Liberty Island, paving stones are missing and large chunks of fence are washed away. Docks and buildings will need to be repaired or replaced. On nearby Ellis Island, historical artifacts and exhibits survived the storm intact, but underground flooding destroyed a lot of the island's infrastructure, including heating and electrical systems.

The National Park Service says these two islands alone will need $59 million worth of repairs. Add in the damage at other nearby national parks, such as Gateway National Recreation Area and Fire Island National Seashore, and the total rises to more than $200 million.

Salazar says the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island may reopen in phases as repairs are completed. "It's just a matter of working through as quickly as we can," he says. "And [trying] to get enough safety measures in place so we're protecting the public so that we can allow visitation here again."

Salazar made no promises about when the park would open. Privately, National Park Service staffers say they're hoping to reopen in some capacity by next summer.

But there's one feature of Liberty Island that may never be the same: a handful of low, brick houses on the island's back side. Park superintendent Luchsinger and his family lived year-round in one of them -- until the flooding from Sandy.

"We lost pretty much everything that was in the house," Luchsinger says. "We were able to save a few pieces of furniture. We won't be living here anymore. And probably nobody will be living here anymore. So at least I'll be able to say I was the last one to stay here."

Luchsinger says those houses will probably have to be torn down. For now, Luchsinger is staying with his mother-in-law in New Jersey -- but says he still thinks of Liberty Island as home.

Jovan Belcher's murder-suicide: How to talk to your kids

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Licensed Clinical Social Worker Mark McGonigle said Jovan Belcher's murder-suicide is triggering an emotional response in young Chiefs fans.

McGonigle said parents would do well to ask their children how they feel and listen.

"I would say we need to listen to our children and listen for what this stirs up in them and find out if the children have any questions," McGonigle said. "Children deserve sensible answers to sensible questions."

McGonigle believes the tragedy is a great time for parents to talk with their children about family values and how to treat each other.

He said the third victim in this case is the 3-month-old daughter who will never see her parents again.

"This child, at 3-months, has already developed a bond with her mother," McGonigle explained. "The most important thing now is for that baby to have a stable person provide love and connection for the child."

Chief's players are also coping with Belcher's murder and suicide.

"It's important for Chief's players to get the counseling they need," McGonicle continued.

The Clinical Social Worker believes that the decision for the team to play on Sunday is a good one.

He said the team will find comfort being together and playing together as they grieve.

Medical Student Tuition and Fees

General Information

The medical school curriculum is divided into two semesters (fall and spring) that covers the entire academic year. Medical students are assessed tuition every fall and spring semester regardless of the credit hour load enrolled. A student is assessed a minimum of eight semesters of full tuition even if the student completes the degree requirements before their May anticipated graduation date. Required Campus fees are assessed every semester that a student is enrolled. In addition to required campus fees, all medical students are assessed a required tablet fee in the first year, certain course fees during the first and second year, and a smart phone fee in the third and fourth year (Kansas City students only). The current tuition and fees amounts are posted on the KUMC Office of the Registrar website.

This document is for informational purposes and should not be considered official university policy. Tuition and fees are subject to change without notice.

Leave of Absence (LOA)

Please consult with your student affaris office about leave of absences in terms of re-entry into the program. The university does not have an official leave status that is reported to lenders. Depending on the length of your leave of absence, you might need to make arrangments with your lenders in terms of repayment and deferments.

Withdrawing from School

  • If a medical student drops all of their current and future classes at anytime during the semester and is not on leave of absence (LOA), they are not considered an enrolled student at KU.
  • In order for a medical student to avoid any tuition and required campus fee charges for a semester, the student must be dropped from all courses before the first day of the first classes.
  • If the student completes a course(s) and then is going to be withdrawn from future courses for the semester, the amount of tuition is adjusted for courses that have not started by the following formula:
    (Number of Weeks Completed/Total number of weeks in the semester)*Semiannual Tuition
  • If the student completely withdraws from medical school after the first day of a course, the formula above is used to calculate the refunded tuition for the courses that have not been started and tuition is adjusted for the course that was started based on the university's refund policy.
  • Any tuition charges assessed due to withdrawing from school are in addition to the full eight semesters of tuition that a medical student is assessed for students that complete a MD degree.

Medical School Enrollment Beyond the Regular Four Academic Years

Non-Evaluated Track (NET) Category

  • During Phase I of the curriculum, the Academic Committee may assign a student to the NET Category for the Spring semester.
  • The student is assessed ½ of the semiannual tuition amount for the spring semester regardless of when they are placed into the NET category.
  • A student who spends a semester as a NET student will be assessed a total of 9 ½ semesters of tuition as long as they complete the program in 5 years.

Clinical Rotations after the Regular Four Academic Years

If a student enrolls in additional clinical rotations than what are minimally required for graduation after being assessed 8 semesters of tuition, the student is assessed a modular rate for additional rotations.

Summer enrollment during years M1 and M2

First and second year students may repeat a course during the summer semester with permission from the SOM Associate Dean of Student Affairs in order to stay in phase with the curriculum. The student is charged a per credit hour rate for the number of hours enrolled.

Waiving of Tuition

  • Full tuition for a semester is waived only when a medical student has been assessed at least eight semesters of tuition and has not repeated a course.
  • If a student does not fail a course but has to repeat the course for whatever reason, the full semester tuition is assessed.
  • If tuition is waived for a semester, the student is assessed the full required campus fees.

Any questions, please contact the Office of the Registrar at 913-588-7055 or or your respective SOM Student Affairs Office .

Watch Joan Rivers Slam Media Coverage of Israel

Israel is in a tough spot right now. With the death toll from Operation Protective Edge rising, international opinion of the Jewish state is at an all-time low and lots of celebrities–from Rihanna to Selena–have taken to social media to voice support for the Palestinian people. Well, as it turns out, Israel supporters also have a few loud-mouthed Jewish celebs in their corner.

Enter Joan Rivers. She’d been waiting her entire life for TMZ to ask her to weigh in on the conflict. What started with a colorful analogy between Hamas and New Jersey somehow spiraled into a Selena diss (“Let’s see if she can spell Palestinian!”).

Video courtesy of TMZ:

Also to be filed under “EPIC [JEWISH CELEB] ISRAEL PALESTINE RANT,” is this clip of Howard Stern losing his mind when a caller dares to bring up the Israel-Gaza conflict. Stern (who, to his credit, did a rather brilliant interview with Mayim Bialik earlier this year) launched into a tirade about anti-Semitism and called Rihanna something not very polite.

Then, of course, there was Bill Maher’s rather awful tweet comparing Hamas and a crazy lady who wants to kill you–which somehow only succeeded in condoning violence towards women.

Maher’s two cents:

Dealing w/ Hamas is like dealing w/ a crazy woman who’s trying to kill u – u can only hold her wrists so long before you have to slap her

— Bill Maher (@billmaher) July 18, 2014

The questions remains whether these unhinged celebrity endorsements are in fact an asset or a liability for Israel’s public image. What do you think?

Steelers beat Cardinals 27-23, win Super Bowl XLIII

TAMPA, Fla. (AP)—Their Steel Curtain shredded, Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh offense ended a Super Bowl of incredible swings with a final-minute touchdown for a historic victory.

Santonio Holmes made a brilliant 6-yard catch deep in the right corner of the end zone with 35 seconds remaining Sunday night, lifting the Steelers to a record-setting sixth Super Bowl win, 27-23 over the Arizona Cardinals.

“Scramble right, scramble left, find someone open,” Roethlisberger said.

It was one of the most thrilling finishes to the NFL title game, certainly equaling last year’s upset by the New York Giants that ended with Plaxico Burress’ TD catch—with 35 seconds left, too.

But this one was even wilder.

The Steelers (15-4), winning their second Super Bowl in four seasons, led 20-7 in the fourth quarter, only to see Kurt Warner and the Cardinals stage a remarkable rally to go in front 23-20 with 2:37 remaining.

Warner hit All-Pro receiver Larry Fitzgerald in stride for a 64-yard touchdown with 2:37 left. Already owning a slew of postseason receiving marks this year, Fitzgerald sped down the middle of the field, watching himself outrun the Steelers on the huge video screen.

Fitzgerald could only watch from the sideline as Roethlisberger engineered a 78-yard drive to win it in what resembled Heinz Field South. With waves of twirling Terrible Towels turning Raymond James Stadium into a black-and-gold tableau—Steelers fans supporting their beloved team, the economy be damned— Pittsburgh’s offense rescued the title.

Holmes was selected the game’s MVP.

“Great players step up in big-time games to make plays,” Holmes said. “I kind of lost a little composure, you know, but I knew our defense would give us a chance to make it back.”

The stunning swings overshadowed Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison’s record 100-yard interception return for a touchdown to end the first half. That looked like the signature play until the final quarter, when both teams shook off apparent knockout punches to throw haymakers of their own.

Big Ben and Holmes struck the last blow, and when Warner fumbled in the final seconds, the Cardinals’ dream of winning their first NFL crown since 1947 were gone.

“I said it’s now or never, I told the guys all the film study you put in doesn’t matter unless you do it now,” Roethlisberger said. “I’m really proud of the way they responded.”

The Cardinals (12-8), playing in their first Super Bowl and first championship game of any kind since 1948, lost their composure after Harrison’s heroics. They had three penalties to keep Pittsburgh’s 79-yard drive going, a 16-play march that ended with Jeff Reed’s 21-yard field goal for a 20-7 lead.

And they couldn’t get Fitzgerald free until very late. But boy did he get free.

The All-Pro who already had set a postseason record for yards receiving and had five touchdowns in the playoffs was a nonentity until an 87-yard fourth-quarter drive he capped with a leaping 1-yard catch over Ike Taylor. He made four receptions on that series on which Warner hit all eight passes for all the yards.

And then he struck swiftly for the 64-yarder that put Arizona within minutes of a remarkable victory.

A victory that didn’t happen because the Steelers are as resilient as they come.

“I’m disappointed for our team,” said Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt, the offensive coordinator in Pittsburgh when the Steelers won the 2005 title. “This is a group of men that I’m very proud of. They played very hard in circumstances where nobody believed in them.

“We learned a lot about our team, it’s just unfortunate it had to come out that way.”

Pittsburgh looked like the offensive juggernaut to open the game, smoothly driving 71 yards in eight plays. But the 72nd yard that would have given the Steelers a touchdown never came.

It seemingly had when Roethlisberger’s short run was ruled a TD. Whisenhunt challenged, and the score was overturned, leaving Tomlin his first difficult decision.

He took the points, Reed’s 18-yard field goal, the shortest in a Super Bowl since 1976.

After forcing a punt, the Steelers kept the ball the remainder of the first quarter—11:28 in all, outgaining Arizona 140-13, getting seven first downs to one for the Cardinals. As Warner and the usually potent Cardinals’ offense watched, frustrated, from the sideline, Pittsburgh plowed it in on Gary Russell’s 1-yard run to make it 10-0.

When Arizona finally got the ball back, it suddenly put the Steelers off-balance with short passes—and one huge play.

Warner had enough time to shine the NFL Man of the Year trophy he received just before kickoff, then hit Anquan Boldin streaking from left to right. He was upended at the Pittsburgh 1, and Warner’s lob to Ben Patrick got Arizona on the board. It was the tight end’s first touchdown this season.

Arizona’s defense then emulated the Steel Curtain with a big play. Bryan Robinson tipped Roethlisberger’s pass high into the air and Karlos Dansby corralled it at the Pittsburgh 34. The Cardinals got to the 1, then, perhaps jealous, the Steelers’ D asserted itself—magnificently.

Harrison, the defensive player of the year, stepped in front of Boldin at the goal line, picked off Warner’s throw and began a journey down the right sideline to the longest play in Super Bowl history.

Harrison ran past or through most of the Cardinals, nearly stepped out of bounds at one point, and was dragged down by Fitzgerald as he fell to the goal line. The play was reviewed as several Cardinals knelt on one knee, exhausted from the chase and disheartened by the result.

“I didn’t see him around my offensive line,” Warner said. “He made a great play and a great run to get them a touchdown.”

The previous longest play was Desmond Howard’s 99-yard kickoff return for Green Bay in 1997.

Huskies top Vandals in women's hoops

SEATTLE – The Idaho women's basketball team held Washington to 28 percent shooting, but the Vandals shot just 27 percent and had 22 turnovers in a 62-48 loss on Sunday afternoon.

Idaho falls to 3-7 with the loss while Washington improves to 7-3.

Three Vandal players scored in double figures in the game, led by junior Alyssa Charlston who had her third double-double of the season with 15 points and 14 rebounds.

"It was pretty physical for Alyssa down there," Idaho coach Jon Newlee said. "I think people watching film think that's the way they're going to stop her, and it has worked at times. Tonight she fought through that and certainly got into a rhythm in the first half. I thought Alyssa did a great job tonight."

Junior Addie Schivo went 4-for-5 from the field and scored a career-high 12 points, while freshman Christina Salvatore went 3-of-7 from 3-point range and finished with 10 points.

"Addie played well in her minutes in Southern California," Newlee said. "She has been doing well and she has shot the ball well in practice, and I think she is our best 3-point shooter. We thought we would give her some minutes against that trap and that zone, and she came in and did a good job. I liked her game tonight and she also did a good job defensively."

The Vandals fell behind 6-0 early in the first half, but later went on a 10-0 run to take a five point lead midway through the period. The Huskies responded, and the lead changed a total of eight times before Washington used an 8-0 run to close the half and take a 29-22 lead into the break. Fourteen of Idaho's 22 turnovers came in the first half, and Washington converted those into 14 points by halftime.

"We made some poor decisions out of their doubles tonight, especially on top, which led to their scores," Newlee said. "I told them that if you give it up 22 times and give up 20 offensive rebounds, you're not going to beat anybody."

Washington kept its distance throughout the second half. The Vandals were able to cut the deficit to seven with 13:24 to play, but Washington built it back to as many as 15 before winning by 14.

Idaho hit just 16-of-59 shots in the game, and just 5-of-26 3-pointers. The Huskies were nearly as cold, going 21-for-75 and 4-for-19 from 3-point range, but Idaho's 22 turnovers, double UW's 11, and Washington's 53-49 advantage on the glass, including 20-11 on the offensive end, gave the Huskies 16 more shot attempts than Idaho. The Vandals didn't help themselves from the free-throw line either, going 11-of-20.

The Huskies were led by 19 points from Jazmine Davis, who added eight rebounds. Talia Walton and Aminah Williams added 12 points each for UW, and Mercedes Wetmore and Kristi Kingma each scored eight.

Idaho wraps up non-conference play at Gonzaga on Dec. 20 before returning home for the first time in a month to host Seattle U on Dec. 29 in the Western Athletic Conference opener for both teams.

Candlestick Candlestick

This remarkable candlestick was made for Abu Ishaq (reigned 1343-53), a ruler of the Injuid dynasty that controlled the southern Iranian province of Fars. It is noteworthy not only for its intricate, highly accomplished craftsmanship but also for the large, elaborate enthronement scenes encircling its base.

The silk tapestry to the right depicts a similar enthronement scene, which also may have been based on a drawing.

Round tapestry with enthroned prince detail Candlestick

Encircling the base of this candlestick are four large enthronement scenes enclosed by medallions.

Two of the scenes depict the ruler seated on a throne supported by lions and attended by members of his entourage. In one, he wears an elaborate Mongol headdress composed of rounded owl feathers and other, spikier plumage—probably eagle feathers.

Candlestick Candlestick

A third medallion shows a ruler and his consort sharing a platformlike throne. The consort wears the conical headdress reserved for Mongol noblewomen and known as a bughtaq.

In the fourth medallion the consort, again wearing the bughtaq, is depicted alone on her throne.

Arabic inscriptions set in cartouches on the base are especially significant as they give the name and titles of a member of the Injuid dynasty, Abu Ishaq (r.1343-53), who succeeded his father, Mahmud Shah, as ruler of the Fars.

At the base of the socket is a diminutive inscription providing other important information. It reads: "made by the feeble slave Sa'd ibn 'Abd Allah."

After incorporating in 2001, in a very small lacrosse market I wanted to build our own clothing line. This was before the apparel boom a few years ago. By 2005, we had our own tags I designed and manufactured. We launched a series of 6 or so spoof designs on T’s, Hoody’s, & Long sleeves and launched them at the 2005 national lax convention prior to mass social media and our first online store so we were a little to far ahead of our time.

So here you have it, we are back designing custom Team logos, Dye Sublimated Shorts with or without pockets, Shooting Shirts, Jersey’s, and Reversible Pinnies. Displayed here is the white side of the pinnie with the full Militia Lacrosse logo w/ stick. I ghosted the tail of the cape under the small number on the front. You can also see the cape finished on the back under the number and it points to the color matched Stylin’ Strings Lax logo bottom right. The tops of the shoulders I used to ghost our custom camo/crazy glue look inspired from our custom dye jobs. The sides of the pinnie also have 4 color camo with white, grey, lime green, & navy. Militia’s coach Bob Dilonno just wanted to make sure the lime was an accent color or I would have went crazy with it.

Here is the full navy side of the reversible with all the colors adjusted to reverse out of the navy. You will see the Stylin’ Strings custom tag sewn into this side.

The shorts were my favorite to design since I saw them popping up everywhere and on almost every young laxer. I was 24 when I first starting designing our clothing and after a 7 year retirement it was cool to make these fresh new designs after my skills had improved with years of experience in the Media Industry. The front left leg I ghosted the Militia guy’s face. The right leg carries the traditional logo placement and the ghosted custom camo/crazy glu pattern. This slide also shows the left side of the shorts with MILITIA down the leg inset in the 4 color camo.

The back of the shorts has the glue pattern on the same leg as the front and the shoulder of the militia guy finishing from the front. The right leg side I put the lacrosse stick from the full logo with the butt end pointing at a full color SS Lax logo.

Here are the shooting shirts. They wanted them mostly grey so I enlarged the Militia head and made his cape small just to carry it through. The same 4 color camo was brought into the sides to match it up to the shorts. The light grey camo/crazy glue pattern is in the main body. The collar and the shoulders have a darker grey then I ghosted the cape on the shoulders. Here you get a close up of the clothing tags I designed 7 years ago with my first slogan of Be Original…Any Style, Any While. Even with all kinds of shorts designs and other clothing out there I always wanted to be as original as possible designing any style with my flare into it. Any While, in my translation means keeping it timeless. The Stylin’ Strings logo I designed 12 years ago with the intention of it lasting until I was old and grey.

The back of the shooter we brought in the MILITIA from the side of the shorts and dropped the Stylin’ Strings Lax logo at the top of the neck to brand the gear. A special thanks goes out to Malvern Prep, the Militia coaching staff, and Bob Dilonno for dealing with the parents on the order for sizing. We spun this order from design to finish in 3 weeks with one day to spare before their first summer tourney. For more information on getting custom designed logos or any part of a uniform from me email [email protected]
