NewsMail mayoral forum under way
6.45PM UPDATE: RATES and the concerns of pensioners have been a common theme in the opening statements of the mayoral candidates at the NewsMail's candidate forum at the PCYC.
Former Bundaberg City Deputy Mayor Mal Forman told the 90-strong crowd that rates were too high for the region.
"We need to put the lid on rates," he said.
Former Isis Shire Mayor Bill Trevor agreed and said it was vital to put a cap on spending.
"People are seeing money spent in their areas, but nothing is achieved," he said.
Moore Park Beach businessman Leo Karnauchow said something needed to be done to reduce the rates pressure on the elderly.
"Pensioners' concerns have been totally ignored," he said.
Incumbent Bundaberg Mayor Lorraine Pyefinch drew on her track record as mayor for the past for years.
"The mayor of a regional council must demonstrate a proven track record in prosperous business," she said.
All four candidates described their leadership style as a "common sense" approach while working within a team.
6PM: ABOUT 90 people have arrived for the start of the NewsMail's candidate forum at the Bundaberg PCYC.
The room is humming with anticipating as the general public waits for their chance to quiz the candidates.
Former Bundaberg City Council Deputy Mayor Mal Forman has drawn the first speaking position, followed by Bundaberg Mayor Lorraine Pyefinch and then former Isis Shire Mayor Bill Trevor.
Moore Park Beach businessman Leo Karnauchow will round out the speaking.
After giving opening statements, the candidates and answering a general question from moderator David Wise, the candidates will answer questions from the floor.

Cleaning up after Hurricane Sandy: Disaster Relief Information
November 1st, 2012
We received this information the HUD Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships It may be useful to anyone working in parishes in the storm-affected areas:
Our thoughts and prayers are with those in the Mid-Atlantic States who've been affected by this storm. Individuals along the East Coast and areas inland should continue to monitor NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) Weather Radio and their local news for updates and directions provided by their local officials. [The website is also available in Spanish]
The President declared major disasters for Connecticut, New York and New Jersey, making disaster assistance available to those in the heaviest hit areas affected by the storm. Individuals and business owners who sustained losses in the designated counties in those states can begin applying for assistance by registering with FEMA online at http://www.DisasterAssistance.gov or by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or 1-800-462-7585 (TTY) for the hearing and speech impaired. The toll-free telephone numbers will operate from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. (local time) seven days a week until further notice. Shelter assistance from your local Chapter of the American Red Cross can be found by calling 1-800-733-2767, press 1.
Even as the storm begins to clear impacted areas, there will be many challenges to staying safe while making repairs and cleaning up debris after a storm. Emergency workers will be assisting people in flooded areas. You can help them by staying off the roads and out of the way.
FEMA and its federal partners, through our regional offices in Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston, remain in close contact with emergency management partners, and are embedded with state teams to support response efforts and assess unmet needs. Priority remains on life-saving and life-sustaining activities. Search and rescue teams have been deployed.

The Chinese army swung into position around Tiananmen Square yesterday to guard against commemoration of the day in 1989 when nothing much happened – just some troops moving with ruthless efficiency to do hardly anything at all, really.
'Twenty years ago today was a day just like any other,' said the Chinese Foreign Minister. 'We're marking the occasion with a massive display of force, but I wouldn't read anything into that.'
Many people who were in the area in 1989 were expected to observe the anniversary by staying at home and doing nothing special, much as they did 20 years ago. They were not joined by several hundred others who were around at the time but are now presumed to be 'on holiday or something'.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Tiny Handprints - The Jacob Hughes Williams Foundation, Nashville, TN, USA
Tiny Handprints was there for me when my precious little girl died of SIDS last June. Stephanie talked with me and answered all of my questions and offered me hope of going into the future without my daughter. In the year that my daughter has been gone, Tiny Handprints has sent us grief materials and reached out to us to let us know that we were not alone.

Review for The CJ Foundation for SIDS, Inc., Hackensack, NJ, USA
In June 2009, our 5.5 month old daughter died of SIDS during her afternoon nap. We knew what SIDS was and had followed all the "ways to reduce the risk" and our baby was still gone. Within two days of contact to the CJ Foundation, they had mailed us a book, "The SIDS & Infant Death Survival Guide" and other grief material. But it did not stop there. I was contacted by a member of the board who had also lost a child to SIDS and instantly had someone who understood what it was like. In the almost year since our daughter has been gone, the staff at the CJ Foundation has reached out to us in countless ways to assist us in our walk with grief. They remembered her birthday and the never cease to send a card or email right when we need it most. They listen to me cry when needed and give me encouragement. We recently found out we were expecting a third child and they rejoiced us with us but also acknowledged our fear and apprehension. We appreciate that they support research to find the reason behind SIDS and that they keep us posted on the latest developments. I wish that I had no reason to know about this organization, but if my daughter has to be gone, I am thankful that the CJ Foundation for SIDS is there to help us and to also assist us in pushing for more answers (from Congress passing legislation to research materials) so other parents do not have to know this type of pain.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — An underground body sculptor charged in the death of a London dancer has tangled with a prosecutor who believes her ever-changing names, addresses and business ventures are the work of a classic con.
But the hip-hop artist and onetime escort-service entrepreneur known as the Black Madam insists she never tried to defraud anyone.
I trusted people, people trusted me, Padge-Victoria Windslowe, 45, of suburban Philadelphia, said when she took the stand last week in her own defense. I had even risen up to where celebrities were coming to get (buttocks enhancement) done, and they had the money to go anywhere.
Windslowe, who claims to have done silicone injections on model Amber Rose and unnamed VH1 girls, was set for more cross-examination Monday when she was taken from the courthouse complaining of chest pains. She was admitted to a hospital overnight, a prison official said, and her murder trial put on hold until at least Wednesday.
Windslowe has told jurors she has injected her face, buttocks, hip, thighs and genitals with the same low-grade silicone product that allegedly spread to the lungs of at least three of her former clients, including the woman who died. Doctors have said the silicone spread after the needle injected in their buttocks struck a vein.
Windslowe has seemed to relish the spotlight during two days of testimony, cooing at questions about various boyfriends and sparring with Assistant District Attorney Carlos Vega.
You're so mean. You have a nerve, Windslowe said as Vega fired off questions about how she had killed 20-year-old victim Claudia Aderotimi.
Stop saying that. I didn't kill Claudia! the defendant said.
Windslowe, born Forrest Gordon, has meanwhile given jurors a glimpse into a chameleon-like life that includes assuming different identities for her mother and father.
She said her late father continued to call her Forrest because he did not accept her new identity after her 1994 sex change in Ecuador. But her mother called her by her new name, Padge-Victoria.
Clients of the buttocks enhancements she performed at so-called pumping parties or in stealth sessions at cheap hotels knew her as Lillian. She became the Black Madam during her years with the escort services and in a Gothic music video.
And stacks of debit and credit cards found at her house, along with a fake passport and Social Security card, carry variations on a theme: Padge-Victoria Windslowe, Forrest Leon Gordon, Foreece Leona Gordon and the jazzier Foreece Leona Giordano.
She said she made her own surgical concoctions, mixing Lidocaine and Adrenalyn in her kitchen blender as a topical anesthetic and emulsifying silicone with saline to make her cheapest plumping product.
Windslowe has also described a long list of other business ventures, which may have explained a lifestyle that supported luxury car leases and a well-furnished apartment. They included a skin-lightening business and her start turn in elaborate, self-financed music videos.
Vega suggested she could have made $220,000 from buttocks injection over the years given the gallons of silicone she had purchased. And he alleged that she also made money extorting a doctor who met her through the escort service and admits later having an affair.
I was making enough. I turned down lots of money, Windslowe said. I was doing (the enhancements) as a transgender who's been through the ropes and can identify and empathize with a lot of the girls.

The internship is integral to RMU's core value of "Professional Focus." It allows for students to gain professional experience in the field prior to entering the job market. The department of Media Arts believes that the internship is so critical, that it is one of the few departments in the university that requires it. Students completing the BFA or BA degrees are required to complete at least one internship prior to graduation, although it is a recommended that students complete more than one to get that much more experience.
Internships for credit usually take place sometime during your junior year or later. Since you are a representative of RMU while in the workplace, it is critical that you have at least intermediate skills in your discipline and with your written/oral communication. To apply for internship, you must meet these minimum qualifications:
- Minimum GPA of 2.5
- Have completed 60 credit hours prior to the beginning of the internship
- Have completed 12 credit hours at RMU (applies to transfer students ONLY)
- Have completed three of your four communication skills (CSEN/CSCM) courses.
- Have completed the second-level course in your concentration. Second-level courses are as follows: Graphic Design > ARTM3110, Interaction Design > ARTM3210, Photography > ARTM3300, Video Field Production > ARTM2430
Securing an internship is a multi-step process where the following must occur:
1. Assuming you have the pre-requisites listed above, you need to apply to be eligible for being an intern
2. You must secure an internship with the employer (there are two ways to do this - see below)
3. Department head will assign a full time faculty member to supervise your internship
4. You must sign and have your employer sign the "Mutual Letter of Agreement" and return it to your faculty supervisor.
Detailed instructions for securing an internship:
The first thing you need to do is to apply to be eligible as an intern. Stop by the Career Center in Benjamin Rush and complete the application. This will be forwarded to the department head for consideration. The department head usually approves all applicants who meet the requirements stated above. However, if your GPA is hovering near the minimum or if your performance as a student is questionable, the department head has the option of denying your application until you better hone your skills.
Upon approval of your eligibility, you can find employers with internship opportunities one of two ways:
1. Browse through RMU's "Handshake" application, where employers have asked RMU to advertise their internship opportunities. Once you find one or more of interest, you must apply to that company/organization for the position. Be advised that most of the time, RMU is not the only place in which employers advertise. You may be in competition with other applicants from other schools, especially for some of the more exclusive opportunities like the major sports teams, ad agencies, or TV stations. This is why it's doubly important that you know your craft and give a good interview prior to applying.
2. Find an internship on your own, not using Handshake. Sometimes, you may get word of a last-minute internship opportunity, or perhaps the opportunity is near your hometown - away from the Pittsburgh region. Before you can secure the internship for credit, the employer site where you would like to intern must be reviewed by the department head. The RMU Career Center can provide you with electronic documents that the employer must complete. Upon return of those documents to the Career Center, the department head will interview the employer to ensure that all academic requirements will be met. Basic requirements of the site are that you work at the business location (not from home), that you are supervised by an expert in the discipline for which you are studying, and that your intern duties are related to your discipline (designing, producing, photographing, etc.) If the site is approved, you may continue the process of securing the internship with that employer.
Once you have secured the internship with the employer, the department head receives a packet from the Career Center with all of the information about the internship. At this point, the department head will ask a full-time faculty member in your discipline to supervise the internship. This process can take 24-72 hours depending on communication logistics between the department head and the faculty member. When a faculty member is assigned, you will receive an email from the department head introducing you to the faculty supervisor and it will include four attached documents: Employer guidelines, requirements of you for the internship, the employer evaluation form, and the mutual letter of agreement (MULA). You MAY NOT start the internship until the MULA is returned to your faculty supervisor with signatures from you and the employer.
For three internship credits, you must intern for at least 150 hours. That equates to ten hours a week during a 15-week fall or spring semester. Summer internships may finish sooner or later depending on how you average your hours. In the Media Arts department, you are required to keep a weekly journal and submit the journal to your faculty supervisor in a timely manner. Near the end of your time at the internship site, you must provide the evaluation form to your site supervisor (not your faculty supervisor) so that s/he may evaluate your performance at the site. This form must be returned by the site supervisor DIRECTLY to your faculty supervisor. Upon the conclusion of your internship, you must write a five to seven page paper that reflects on your internship experience. Full details about the paper can be found in the internship requirements document that was sent to you as an attachment by the department head at the beginning of your internship.
Doing more than one internship is highly encouraged. The more experience you can gain in the field, the more you will be better prepared to enter the workforce upon graduation. A second internship also gives you the opportunity to try out different paths in your field (e.g. being a camera operator vs. editing, or package design vs. editorial design, or sports photography vs. portrait photography).
Six credit internships are available and they require 300 hours of internship activity. This averages to 20 hours per week during a 15-week fall or spring semester. Six credit internships are only approved in special situations where you will be working on double the activities of a three-credit internship. Six-credit internships are not approved for sites where you will just be doing double the hours of same activities. To better explain this, think of a three-credit internship including activities A, B, & C for ten hours a week. A six-credit internship must include activities A, B, C, D, E, & F for twenty hours a week.
While "Handshake" has all available internships listed, here are a few of interest either for being a paid opportunity or being high-profile.

Explore America's Campgrounds
You can buy just about any type of beans you want in a can these days. In addition to the standard pork and beans, you can get barbecue beans, beanie weenies, vegetarian beans, pinto beans, black beans and dozens of other varieties and brands. Best of all, especially if you're going camping, they come equipped with their own cooker. With just an open fire, a stick, a can of beans, a piece of wire and your three most basic survival tools, you can have a hot, satisfying meal in no time.
Items you will need
Stick, 3 feet long, 1/2 inch or thicker
Can of beans
Pocket knife or ice pick
Can opener
Piece of light, stiff wire, 12 inches long
Build a campfire. Make it small enough so you can sit comfortably within two feet of the flames. Anything larger wastes fuel and will burn your supper.
Remove the top of the can with the can opener.
Poke a small hole with the tip of your knife into opposite sides of the can 1/4 inch from the top. The holes need only be large enough for the tip of the wire to go through.
Bend the ends of the wire double into a hook shape and hook the ends through the holes in the sides of the can to create a bale or handle. The whole assembly is called a tin can billy.
Carve a notch in one end of the stick. Hang the billy from the stick and dangle it over the fire. You can also drive a couple of long, forked sticks in the ground and lay the stick between them over the fire to act as a cooking spit, with the billy dangling from it over the fire.
Pull the can off the fire every minute or two and stir the beans to keep them from burning. Resist the urge to put the can too close to fire to hurry the process. The thin metal of the can transmits heat quickly and burns easily. It's better to heat the can over coals rather than a flame.
- Use a pot holder to handle the hot can. Remember the wire bale gets very hot, so don't grab it.
- Hang on to the can afterward. It can be used for cooking other things. You can even stick a potato inside and set it down in hot coals to bake. The handle makes it easy to get your cooking over the fire without burning your hands.

I completed my first marathon yesterday, the Yonkers Marathon just north of New York City. I finished in 3:51:43 meaning I ran at an average 8:51 pace per mile. There were 32 finishers in the Male 30 to 39 age group and 196 finishers in the race. My overall finish place was 86 and my age group finish place was 16. I was surprised I was able to complete it in under 4 hours, because of how hilly the route was(mostly manageable, but can still slow down even the fastest runners), because this was my first time doing any marathon, and because I was juggling the entire time. So many people were amazed by this, which suggests they've never seen joggling before. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep up with the man in the tutu. I did see another vegetarian runner there, wearing a "No Meat Athlete" t-shirt, though I wore nothing indicating I'm a vegan. I should do this next time. I dropped the balls 4 times, mostly toward the end.

Mark - Lesson 2
- Thomas Klock
- 2007 18 Dec
The Kingdom Is Dawning
Mark 1:21–45
Lesson 1 examined the beginnings of Jesus' ministry and proclamation of the Good News (the gospel) that God's kingdom had come at last. Yet His kingdom came in unexpected ways. Mark didn't start with Jesus' birth or pre-existence like the other Gospels, but with the messenger sent before Him, John the Baptist. John was the servant of the true Servant. He proclaimed the need for confession of sin and repentance, and he used baptism to symbolize commitment to die to one's self and turn to God.
Jesus was confirmed not just as the Son of Man, but the Son of God. He was testified to by His own message and life, as we'll see, by John's testimony, by the Holy Spirit descending upon Him in the form of a dove, and by the proclamation by God the Father, "As for you, you are my Son, the beloved one; in you I am well pleased.[i]"
Rather than immediately entering into ministry, Jesus faced severe temptations in the wilderness for 40 days. Instead of breaking Jesus and destroying His purposes, these temptations became a triumph over Satan, the first step in showing us that the
DAY ONE: An Astonishing Authority
Please carefully read Mark 1:21-26 and answer the following questions.
After calling His initial four disciples, Jesus began ministering in
1. What did Jesus do on the Sabbath, and how did His hearers react (v. 21, 22a)?
NOTES: The nlt indicates Jesus did this "every Sabbath day;" in fact the word Mark used, sábbasin, is plural.[iii] These people were astonished at Jesus' teaching (meaning to strike someone out of their senses by some strong feeling, wonder, and joy; to be struck with shock, astonishment and amazement).
2. They were also amazed at Jesus' authority (Greek exousia, authority delegated from one person to another; the right and ability to do something). Why was this (v. 22b)?
NOTE: The title scribe in Greek is similar to our word grammar. These men were experts about the written and oral Law, and would explain it, probably boringly, in schools or synagogues. We see Jesus denouncing many of the scribes and Pharisees in the Gospels, but not all were antagonistic toward Jesus, as we'll see later in Mark.[iv]
3. What suddenly happened as Jesus was teaching (v. 23, 24)?
4. What a shocking thing this would be—and who knows how long this guy had been going to the synagogue before it was revealed he was demon-possessed![v] The Amplified Bible expands the outburst of the demon, based on the context of the Greek, "he raised a deep and terrible cry from the depths of his throat" (v. 23). How did Jesus deal with this, and what was the result (v. 25, 26)?
5. The demon inside the poor guy had one last fling with him—literally! The kjv describes this as having torn him. The Greek means convulsing him like a it was used to describe the rending or tearing done by an animal as it kills its prey.[vi] Jesus' handling of this was to tell the demon to be quiet, or literally, be gagged and muzzled! This deliverance exhibits another proof of the Kingdom of God dawning. How so (Isaiah 61:1; 1 John 3:8)?
Scripture Memory: This week we will be memorizing Mark 1:41. Review the passage several times throughout the day each day this week, and by the end of the week, you should have it memorized completely.
Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed." Mark 1:41, nkjv
DAY TWO: Amazing Reactions
Please carefully read Mark 1:27-31 and answer the following questions.
1. How did those at the synagogue that day react to all of these things (v. 27)?
NOTES: The word amazed used here conveys the idea of being afraid or terrified as well as in awe. His teaching to them was also refreshing, as the Greek word means to be new in quality as compared to the stuffy rhetoric of the scribes.
2. What was the result of this great act of deliverance (v. 28)?
3. After leaving the synagogue, they came to Simon and Andrew's house for the rest of the Sabbath. Palestinian houses of this time were usually low and flat-roofed, sometimes having a guest chamber up on top, and usually the extended family dwelt together, including the married children.[vii] But what did they find out upon returning home (v. 30)?
4. The word Mark used for fever actually comes from the Greek root word for fire, so this phrase meant she was lying prostrate, burning with fever, not just a little ill. What did Jesus do about this, and what was her response to this (v. 31)?
5. What a special touch at the end of verse 31—Peter's mother-in-law went from extremely ill one moment to giving of herself in service to the Lord at the next. He has also done much the same for us: saved us from a certain death in hell and brought us literally from the fire that would have destroyed us. What do the following passages state about what our attitude should be in view of what He has done for us?
Psalm 116:12–14
Luke 17:10; 2 Corinthians 5:14, 15
Romans 12:1, 2
Scripture Memory: Try to fill in the missing words in the blanks below, by memory if at all possible, and then review the passage several times today.
Then Jesus, moved with _______________________, stretched out His hand and __________________ him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed." Mark 1:41, nkjv
DAY THREE: Multitudes Ministered To
Please carefully read Mark 1:32-34 and answer the following questions.
1. As the Sabbath ended, what began happening (v. 32)?
NOTE: Mark distinguished between those who were physically ill and those who were demon-possessed (the Greek Word could be literally translated into English "demonized"). We may look at some of these people and think from our modern viewpoint that maybe many of these just had mental illnesses, which may in part be true, but demonic possession, oppression, and activity was and is a reality.[viii]
2. What was the extent of the community's response to Jesus (v. 33)?
3. How did Jesus respond to the needs of this multitude of people, doubtless late into the night (v. 34)?
NOTES: Once again Jesus commanded the demons He cast out to be quiet, for they knew Him (the Amplified Bible adds "knew Him intuitively"). The Greek phrase here indicates that they kept on bringing people to Him; also, He especially didn't want or need the assistance of Satan and his forces telling people who He is![ix]
4. The selflessness of Jesus is so apparent in Mark and the other Gospels. He met their needs regardless of His own. As Alexander Maclaren well said, "True pity always leads us instinctively to seek to come near those who are its objects."[x] Compassion and action are linked for the believer, and demonstrated by Jesus' example. What are some other ways that Jesus taught about selfless actions of compassion toward others?
Matthew 9:35, 36; 20:26-28
Luke 12:42-44
John 13:12-17
Scripture Memory: Try to fill in the missing words in the blanks below, by memory if at all possible, and then review the passage several times today.
Then Jesus, moved with _______________________, stretched out His _____________ and __________________ him, and said to him, "I am ___________________________; be cleansed." Mark 1:41, nkjv
DAY FOUR: The Messiah's Inspiration
Please carefully read Mark 1:35-39 and answer the following questions.
1. Despite a long night of ministry, what did Jesus do (v. 35)?
2. The Greek phrase here indicates He was praying through the early morning hours, prolonged prayer in this secluded place. The use of the term "wilderness" or "solitary place" was the same used to describe the place of Jesus' temptation; perhaps this too was a point of spiritual testing for Him, as the other two crucial times Mark records of Him praying at the middle (6:46) and end (14:35-39) of His ministry.[xi] What happened though as Jesus sought this precious time alone, seeking inspiration, strength and wisdom from His Father (v. 36)? What did they say when they found Him (v. 37)?
NOTE: The Greek phrasing used by Mark indicates they were hunting for Him, thus the Amplified Bible adds, "...pursuing Him eagerly and hunting Him out."
3. At this point it seems that Jesus had discerned that the motives of the mobs may have been wrong. How did He respond to Peter and those with him, no doubt to their surprise (v. 38)?
4. How did they press on from there (v. 39)?
5. Jesus' statement "Let us go..." is a verb form meaning "Let us get going and keep going," emphasizing all the things that lay ahead of Him yet to accomplish. He was gaining fame and notoriety there in
Scripture Memory: Try to fill in the missing words in the blanks below, by memory if at all possible, and then review the passage several times today.
Then Jesus, ______________ with _______________________, stretched out His _____________ and __________________ him, and said to him, "I am ___________________________; be ______________________." Mark 1:41, nkjv
DAY FIVE: Compassion, Cleanliness, and the Crowds
Please carefully read Mark 1:40-45 and answer the following questions.
1. We aren't told exactly when or where this incident took place, but what happened one day as Jesus ministered (v. 40)?
2. Leprosy included several skin diseases, but true leprosy (Hanson's bacillus) is a progressive, disfiguring disease, that according to the Law excluded this man from society (Leviticus 13, 14).[xiii] The Jewish teachers of Jesus' day (not the Scriptures) would blame leprosy on a person's sin; lepers were considered "unclean," and were to be shunned, especially not to be touched.[xiv] However, this man took the risk, came to Jesus, and believed He could (Greek, had authority to) heal Him if He was willing to. What was Jesus' response to this man (v. 41)?
NOTES: Only Mark's Gospel points out Jesus' emotional response to this man's situation; Mark's Gospel is unique in recording emotional reactions of people.[xv] The Greek word for compassion is an inner feeling, to feel deeply or viscerally, and was Jesus' attitude toward this man.
3. Of course, Jesus had broken rabbinic teachings by touching this man...or had He? What does verse 42 say about it?
4. After healing him, Jesus strictly warned, directed, and sent him away to follow the guidelines of the Law regarding being cleansed from leprosy (Leviticus 14:1-32). Instead, what did this man do, and how did this impact Jesus' ministry at that time (v. 45)?
5. It is understandable that this man forgot to follow Jesus' instructions to go to the priest and follow the proper steps, which would have been a testimony to them. He was so excited that he was continually proclaiming and blurting out what Jesus had done for Him. But this excitement also hindered Jesus' ministry to an extent. Why didn't Jesus want this man, or the demons, or others to tell who He was at this point? It seems that Jesus was insisting on, as theologians call it, the "Messianic secret," not letting His claims to being the Messiah come fully out at this time. How do John 7:6, Romans 5:6, and Galatians 4:4, 5 shed some light on this?
Scripture Memory: Can you write out this week's passage by memory here below? Give it a try, and keep reviewing the passage several times throughout the day.
Mark 1:41:
DAY SIX: Following Christ
1. As we read in the Introduction, between the time of the Babylonian captivity and the days of Jesus, the Hasidim (later the Pharisees) developed oral interpretations of what they thought the Law meant, and sadly began living more by their own interpretations rather than by the Law itself. Judaism became a religion of external activity rather than a relationship with God. After Jesus' day, the rabbis complicated things even more. They assembled the memorized oral traditions in writing (the Mishnah); later commentaries were made on the Mishnah (the Gemarah). These in turn were compiled together in the Talmud in the Fourth and Fifth Centuries A.D.[xvi] They had taken the beautiful Law and Word of God and instead emphasized human ideas and interpretations, taking the life out of their synagogue services. Jesus' teachings to the people were alive, unlike the boring droning on and on by the Pharisees and scribes. "The teaching was fresh, original as the dew of the morning on the blossoms just blown."[xvii]
How are you approaching and proclaiming God's Word to others? How are you seeking to embrace its freshness? Read the following passage, and record some thoughts about how you can better approach learning and sharing God's Word to others:
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. (Hebrews 4:12–13, nkjv)
2. Not only do we need to have a fresh view of the Scriptures, but we need to set aside time daily to be in prayer. Jesus' example stood out to us of doing this. Even after ministering to others late into the night, He did not miss His time with the Father to seek inspiration, wisdom, and strength. How is your prayer life? What are some ways that you can more effectively pray and set aside that special time for communing with God? Write down your thoughts here, then as a group discuss these and seek to encourage each other in having a more effective life of prayer.
3. Serving God and feeling compassion are linked together for us as believers. Peter's mother-in-law was a great example of serving in thankfulness for Jesus' touch in her life. Warren Wiersbe also pointed out that if Jesus came to the earth as a servant, "then being a servant is the highest of all callings."[xviii] We can't always do something about each situation that stirs God's compassion in us, but there are many ways we can serve God and others each day. What are some situations you have come across lately that stirred compassion in you? How did you or could you have responded better in service to the person in the situation? In view of all that Jesus has done for you, how will you commit yourself to follow and serve Him?
Scripture Memory: Hopefully you now can write out this week's passage completely by memory. Do so now, and keep on reviewing it so you will be ready to share it with others in your group time.

Use of personal email accounts for government business
see our story update 3-29-11 at bottom of this post
We reprint the story below from the Washinton Post to again put all public officials on notice that using a "personal email" account for official government communications subjects the entire contents of the email account to public records act requests. We went through this before with the Karl Rove camp using @RNC (republican national committee) email addresses for official government email as a way of subverting public records requests. We have brought this issue to the attention to the Lakewood City Council numerous times yet all five still use their personal email accounts and not accounts @lakewoodcity.org. So we wait until this blows up in their face much like it did for poor little Sarah Palin, who only a few months ago was herself a lowly city council member. We also brought up to to the city council a number of times that they did not post ANY email addresses on the city website for citizens to contact them directly. We feel the reason for this is much like Bush, Cheney and McCain who don't use email simply because they want no paper trial of any of their activities. The fewer Lakewood residents that email the council about issues the better. That way there is no trace of the issue, the date, or the response or lack thereof. Then like most politicians, when the the problem blows up they can say they never knew about it (and you have no way of proving it)
All the Palin email was posted at Wikileaks.org and that site was overloaded all evening. Apparently the news media is pouring over it or the secret service is trying to take it down. Gawker had some posted.
Once again Lakewood City Council, you are on notice that this practice is wrong and needs to stop. Oh and for those that dont have the councils "non official" (and only) email addresses here they are:

Hackers Access Palin's Personal E-Mail, Post Some Online
By Michael D. Shear and Karl Vick
Washington Post Staff Writers
Thursday, September 18, 2008; A04
A group of computer hackers said yesterday that they had accessed a Yahoo e-mail account of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, publishing some of her private communications to expose what appeared to be her use of a personal account for government business.
The hackers posted what they said were personal photos, the contents of several messages, the subject lines of dozens of e-mails and Palin's e-mail contact list on a site called Wikileaks.org. That site said it received the electronic files from a group identifying itself only as "Anonymous."
"At around midnight last night some members affiliated with the group gained access to governor Palin's email account, 'email@example.com' and handed over the contents to the government sunshine site Wikileaks.org," said a message on the site.
Rick Davis, the campaign manager for Republican presidential nominee John McCain, issued a statement yesterday afternoon condemning the incident.
"This is a shocking invasion of the Governor's privacy and a violation of law," he said. "The matter has been turned over to the appropriate authorities and we hope that anyone in possession of these e-mails will destroy them. We will have no further comment."
The episode focuses attention on Palin's use of her personal e-mail account as lawmakers in Alaska look into whether she fired the state's public safety commissioner, Walter Monegan, because he refused to take action against her brother-in-law, a state trooper at the time.
Palin has been criticized in recent days for using a personal e-mail account to conduct state business. An Alaska activist has filed a Freedom of Information Act request seeking disclosure of e-mails from another Yahoo account Palin used, firstname.lastname@example.com.
That account appears to have been linked to the one that was hacked.
Both accounts appear to have been deactivated. E-mails sent to them yesterday were returned as undeliverable.
Andrée McLeod, who filed the FOIA request, said yesterday evening that Palin should have known better than to conduct state business using an unsecured e-mail account.
"If this woman is so careless as to conduct state business on a private e-mail account that has been hacked into, what in the world is she going to do when she has access to information that is vital to our national security interests?" she asked.
McLeod's Anchorage attorney, Donald C. Mitchell, said Palin declined to comply with a public records request in June to divulge 1,100 e-mails sent to and from her personal accounts, citing executive privilege.
"There's a reason the governor should be using her own official e-mail channels, because of security and encryption," the attorney said. "She's running state business out of Yahoo?"
McCain officials did not return calls and e-mails seeking further comment on the hacking and McLeod's remarks.
The images of the Yahoo inbox posted by hackers are stippled with the names of Palin aides using both official and private e-mail addresses.
Among the e-mails released as part of the records request in June were several from Ivy Frye, an aide, asking a state official whether private e-mail accounts and messages sent to BlackBerry devices are immune to subpoena, then reporting the answer to the governor and her husband, Todd, who also uses a Yahoo e-mail address.
One referenced "Draft letter to Governor Schwarzenegger/Container Tax" and another said "DPS Personnel and Budget Issues," an apparent reference to the Alaska Department of Public Safety.
Michael Allison, chief executive of the Internet Crimes Group, a private company specializing in Internet security, said the hackers may have accessed Palin's account by using publicly available information to guess her password, or by using a small program called a trojan to capture her keystrokes.
"I would hope the authorities would be all over this," Allison said. "The only deterrent is that people know the certainty of being caught."
Government Uses Commercial Email and Texting to Avoid FOIA Laws

All public officials favor open government in principle. Who would dare say otherwise? In reality, however, they are in a perpetual search, guided by clever lawyers, for new ways to circumvent disclosure requirements--at best, because they view requests for records as a nuisance, and at worst, because they have something to hide (which can range from the merely embarrassing to the indictable).
The latest device for openness avoidance is the use of personal email accounts (and, increasingly, text messaging too) for government communications. Mayors, city council members, agency executives and school superintendents have been told that if they do government business on their gmail or yahoo accounts--anything but their official .gov email--their communications, no matter how focused on government matters, will never see the light of day.
What do your elected representatives do when they believe that their messages about government business are secret? In San Jose, city council members, like proverbial puppets on a string, take instructions during council meetings on how to vote, according to a San Jose Mercury News report on text messages sent by representatives of unions and other special interests.
The former San Bernardino County Assessor, who was arrested on drug charges and is under grand jury investigation, used electronic messaging on personal cell phones to direct his staff in partisan political activities, according to a report of an independent investigation commissioned by the county. The investigators found that the assessor and his staff had chosen this means of communicating in order to avoid creating public records.
You don't have to be a legal scholar to appreciate the size of the loophole that this practice creates. If all it takes to avoid the obligations of the Public Records Act, California's freedom of information law, is to use a commercial email account for official communications, then all such communications--except the occasional anodyne and self-serving message actually intended for public consumption--will shift to that private channel. The Public Records Act, already porous with special interest loopholes, might as well be renamed the California Official Secrets Act.
Lawyers for local government say that email and text messages sent or received on a private account, no matter their content, are not "public records" because they are not ". . . owned, used, or retained by" a government agency, as the Public Records Act requires. Electronic communications are "owned, used, or retained by" government only if they reside on a government server, they say. Despite the superficial plausibility of this reasoning, it is, indeed, only superficially plausible.
A government agency doesn't do anything except through people--employees, elected officials, consultants, whatever--who are the government's agents. Without getting too deep into legalese here, the point is that the actions of the government's agents are imputed to the government, and the government is responsible for those actions. An arrest by a police officer, a mayor's promise to a campaign contributor, a public school teacher's grading of a student paper--all are actions of and by the government entity that these people represent.
The same is true for written communications about government matters that these people create or receive, regardless of the technology used or the account status. The communications are "owned," "used" and "retained" by government because they are owned, used and retained by persons in their capacity as agents of the government.
Here's an analogy. Suppose the mayor of your town, at a private meeting in her private home, signs a written agreement with a contractor to expand the local airport. The agreement is a paper document in the mayor's house, miles away from her office at city hall. There is no doubt that this document is a public record that belongs to the town because it is "owned," "used" and "retained" by the mayor as the town's agent. Nothing changes if the document sits, not on the mayor's kitchen table, but in the digital in-box of her personal email account at msn.com. Either way, it's indisputably a public record that belongs to the town.
Finally, the objection is made that a search through a government official's commercial email account for requested public records is overly intrusive. But any intrusiveness is due to the official's choice to mix his personal email messages with his emails about government business. The remedy is not to deny citizens their access rights, but for government to adopt email use and retention policies that mitigate, if not eliminate, the problem.
What policies? Consider this proposal:
1) Agencies and local governments should set up one email account with gobs of storage capacity. To keep it simple and inexpensive, a corporate account (offering extra security) with Google or Yahoo will suffice.
2) Agencies' .gov email accounts, by default, should "bcc" all emails to the government database account.
3) All government employees should be instructed that, when using their own commercial email account for government matters, they must "bcc" their business messages to the database account (and forward incoming business email there too). Basically, any email that is not strictly personal should be copied to the online storage account.
These three simple steps produce a comprehensive government database that provides the agency with a valuable archival resource; allows for consistent application of document retention policies; and, perhaps most important, is fully searchable using search engine technology with which all employees are familiar. Any public records requests for email can be quickly and simply processed through searches of the archive. (No IT personnel are needed!)
Many elected representatives have become proficient at using technology to thwart public access to government. Why not, instead, use technology to enhance the transparency and accountability of government?

Opposition unity VS incumbency
The currently prevailing discourse amongst political parties counterpoised to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) pertains to the prospects of building a coalitional unity. Efforts in this direction have been forthcoming ever since the BJP formed the government on its own. The effort was however crippled by dissensions from the beginning and was consequently short-lived. The recent streak of reversals for the BJP has once again reoriented the discourse towards Opposition unity. Over the last four years, this effort has been characterised by a variety of names like Grand Alliance, Mahagathbandhan, Rainbow Coalition and Secular Alliance among others.
The typology of Opposition unity that is being contemporarily contemplated is qualitatively different from coalitions built around the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) or United Progressive Alliance (UPA). The anatomy of these coalitions was underpinned on a highly fragmented party system and party competition among respective national and state parties. The current aspiration has more similarity with composite formations like Sanyukta Vidhayak Dal (1967), Janata Party (1977) and Janata Dal (1988). This similarity is rooted in the nature of party competition prevailing during these preceding occasions as well as currently. All the periods under consideration saw the ascendancy of a party that was gradually entrenching itself in a position of dominance. This was accompanied by the absence of a similar formation and the existence of numerous intermediate and marginal formations. This structural arrangement compels the highly disparate intermediate and marginal formations to close ranks in order to pose a serious challenge to the incumbent. Coalitions of this nature thus represent a Unity against Dominance.
It follows therefore that the typology of such coalitions embodies a Cross-Cutting Unity across ideological considerations. Due to the imperative of avoiding a fissure in the collective strength, counterpoising parties undergo different levels of ideological dilution as demanded by the situation. Lohiaite Socialists and the Jana Sangh were coalitional partners in the Sanyukta Vidhayak Dal. Similarly, in the 1989 general elections, the Janata Dal was supported by both the BJP and Communist Party of India (Marxist). In the current phase, most of the proposed formulae and alliances for countering the BJP contain both attributes of unity. The by-election to the Kairana Lok Sabha could be treated as a veritable case in point that saw the legatee's of Nehru, Ambedkar, Lohia and Charan Singh entering into a positive compromise. However, the extent of state level differentiation of the party system has become more pronounced now than thirty years back. Party competition in states have become not only more pronounced but multi-polar in many cases. Considering this, the universality of unity could encounter significant impediments in the coming period.
Such heterogeneity that undergirds the peculiar typology of unity concurrently transforms elections into reductionist referendums. This means that elections are contested not over concrete programmes but on the basis of a single overarching and melodramatic issue. The diverse and mutually conflicting positions could be workably reconciled only by superimposing a single general issue that commands maximum agreement. The programme of such composite formations therefore stands upon a Single Issue Unity. In the 1977 general elections, nearly the entire opposition rallied behind Jayprakash Narayan and Moraji Desai on the issue of restoring democracy. Similarly, the 1989 general elections brought a majority of the non-Congress opposition together on the singular plank of corruption. In the upcoming elections in 2019, the issue of secularism might become the fulcrum of oppositional unity.
These coalitions build their viability by attempting to progressively reduce the split of votes among the counterpoising parties through the extension of unity and with seat sharing arrangement. Resultantly, this type of coalition fosters a Status Quoist Unity. This is so because firstly, it precludes the necessity of any of the constituents independently broadening their base. Secondly, the coordinated internal competition poses a serious impediment to the emergence of alternate formations unaffiliated to either poles of dominance. The decimation of the Janata Dal could be attributed largely to its reliance on such coalitions. Unity of this nature may yield short-term results for a party but impedes the development of an independent base over the longer term.
Coordinated political action achieved through ideological dilutions and strategic adjustments render such coalitions electorally formidable. Indian politics has witnessed episodes where such coalitions have been successful. But electoral unity has been almost inevitably followed by a Government of Disunity. The reason for such inevitability could be explained as this. Political formations recede from their official ideological positions in order to coordinate within disparate formations of unity. Although ideology could be treated as a superstructural phenomenon, political formations cannot afford to alienate core constituencies upon which they existentially stand. Decisions of policy and allocation exercised by the incumbent coalition government carry contradictory implications for every constituent element. When these contradictions assume proportions that threaten to alienate the popular bases of particular constituents, the latter responds by either bargaining a lucrative settlement or breaking away from the unity.
(The author presents his observations at this time when discussions on opposition unity are in wide circulation and as a point of reference with regard to the vagaries of coalitional politics.)

This year, I'm keeping my New Year's resolutions simple. The ever popular "weight loss" resolution is not on my list. This year I want to actually be able to attain some of my goals. So, here it goes. I will drink more water every day. I will exercise more. I will spend more time in faith . Notice, I didn't include any deadlines or specific numbers. Yes, 8 glasses of water per day & 30 minutes of exercise 3 times a week are recommended. And every religion has a set of rules and/or commandments. However, I have tried to follow recommendations & rules in the past. When I have failed, I've felt disheartened and very much a failure.

Jul 02, 2019 - National Geographic Endeavour II
Today we visited the island of Santa Cruz, the second largest of the Galapagos Archipelago with a surface of almost 1,000 square kilometers and a population estimated to be 20,000 people. In the morning we experienced large swells, maybe due to a solar eclipse which made the day a little darker than usual, especially in the afternoon.
We visited the Charles Darwin Research Station and the Galapagos National Park Service complex. Since 1959 these two organizations have been running several conservation projects. One of the most popular programs is the breeding in captivity of several species of giant tortoises, which has helped some to restore populations and bring them back from possible extinction.
Leaving this place, we walked through Puerto Ayora and saw the town, souvenirs shops, local art stores, craft galleries, and the fishing dock, where local fishermen bring their daily catch. Birds such as frigates, pelicans, and sea lions are ready to steal a piece or eat the leftovers after the cleansing of the fish.
Soon after this visit, we went to a sugar cane farm located out of town. Here we learned about the process of artisanal distillation of alcohol with the use of sugar cane fermented juice. We also saw the making of brown sugar and coffee, among other interesting things.
Later on, we drove to a local country-style restaurant, where we had a wonderful lunch. A couple of hours later we started a hike, at another nearby farm, to see the giant tortoises in the wild. These beautiful animals were wandering around the forest of this place, and we ended up seeing about 20 or more of them. It was amazing to see them thriving in their natural environment, were they have been living for thousands of years.At the very end, we paid a visit to a lava tube, another amazing volcanic feature of Santa Cruz Island. This has been another amazing day in the Galapagos.

You gotta love Momma Dee for trying to help Scrappy but you don't gotta like it. In a bonus clip from Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, Scrappy pays his mom and stepdad Ernest a visit to get to the bottom of what happened when Momma Dee made a nest at Rasheeda's store.
Scrappy says he came to his mom to vent but not to get involved. Momma Dee admits she just got "the twitch" to get involved. "Momma Dee does what Momma Dee dos, I show up and I show out," she said. The meddlesome mother reveals that she crossed her fingers when she promised not to involve herself in Scrappy's business but she can't help herself. Oy. Luckily, Scrappy forgives his mama.
See how this all plays out on new episodes of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, Monday at 8/7c!

There are three different types of home insurance that may need to be looked at depending on your situation.
Buildings Insurance
- This covers everything about the building itself from the structure to the fixtures within the home, such as doors.
- Buildings insurance also covers all permanent fittings within the house such as a kitchen.
- This will cover the cost to rebuild the property if necessary or any repairs that need to take place.
- However, this does not cover general wear on the property. Also, it will not cover you if your house is unoccupied for more than 30 days.
Contents Insurance
- This covers you for any theft or damage that may occur in any part of your property. The insurers will pay out for all replacement items. Insurers will also pay for your accommodation if your house becomes uninhabitable.
- This insurance may not cover you if you have a large amount of high-value items. As a result, your payout may not cover the full cost to replace.
If you have a mortgage or own your home you can get these insurances combined. This will cover everything in one policy. A combined policy is not suitable if you rent your home as the landlord should provide buildings insurance.

Reported: 9/17/2008 8:18:32 AM 08:18
Posted: 10/31/2008
Location: Lancaster, PA
Shape: Light
Duration:15 min.
|Marching Band loving light follows the patterns of the band.
As funny as it may seem and to the best of my memory it was during band camp. As the band was standing in form at attention, something caught my peripheral vision above my head.
I lifted my head and very distant in the sky I saw a series of stars. At the time I was taking a physics class and I knew which were stars and what was not. Any way I saw a swirling blue and yellow light between 2 stars in the sky. I was able to study the movement because the marching band was receiving a lecture and we were not permitted to move.
I gazed at the blue-yellow light and recognized the pattern, it had seemed to be forming the same shapes as the marching band below it. At that time I grabbed the closest person and pointed in the direction of the light. Without describing what I saw, I had asked them if they see anything. The person had responded, "Is that star moving?" another person noticed and looked up as well.
I was able to get the whole band to look without saying a word and they all saw what I saw. The band is multi-racial, and they all noticed. Apparently it spooked the directors, because I heard the tremble in their voices.
Of course some of them were in denial and said it was a satellite, but those move in straight lines, and there much more distant and dim. Others said it might have been an airplane, as they said that, an airplane flew under it. I said, "No, my friend, that right there is an airplane, whatever that is, is not" The light that I have described from where I was standing appeared to be 2 centimeters in diameter. It was much brighter and closer than any star in the sky that night. It was close enough to see that it was moving. It didn't leave until the band practice was over. It appeared as though it was seeking entertainment from the marching band.

Citation: Bono, J.L., Keen, J.E., Clawson, M.L., Durso, L.M., Heaton, M.P., Laegreid, W.W. 2007. Association of Escherichia coli O157:H7 tir polymorphisms with human infection. BMC Infectious Diseases. 7:98.
Interpretive Summary: An important factor in the ability of of E. coli O157:H7 to cause infection is the ability of this bacterium to adhere to epithelial cells. Proteins from two bacterial genes, tir and eae, are responsible for adherence to epithelial cells. Tir is injected by the bacteria into the epithelial cell where it integrates into the cell membrane and acts as a receptor for the eae gene product, a protein called intimin. By sequencing 10 human and 14 bovine isolates, we identified 11 tir sequence variants. Two of the variants were able to distinguish between human and bovine sources. While many host, bacterial, and environmental factors impact whether or not clinical disease results from natural exposure to bacteria, it appears that tir sequence differences may explain some of the variation in the clinical outcome resulting from human exposure to E. coli O157:H7.
Technical Abstract: Tir, the translocated intimin receptor protein produced by shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7, is necessary for tight adherence to intestinal epithelial cells. Nucleotide sequence variation within the tir gene of human and bovine STEC O157 isolates was identified and compared. Two tir polymorphisms were associated with STEC O157 human isolates.
