Historical Dates:
August 19, 1886 Official forming of the Christian Union
May 15, 1902 Official name change to Holiness Church at Camp Creek
January 11, 1907 Officially registered under the name Church of God
January, 1976 Official registration of New Testament Church of God, Campbelltown, NSW
A Season of New Beginnings
The Church of God in Australia was officially formed in 1976 upon the principles of Christ Jesus as they are revealed in the Holy Bible, the Word of God. It has its foundation of faith and practice in the Holy Scriptures and the vital experience of its constituents is Spirit-filled.
The theme of "
New Beginnings
" has captivated out attention. This is happening not only on a National Office perspective, but also among a number of individuals. It is interesting how God is speaking to His people in similar ways.
The wonderful truth is that our God is the God who continually presents to His people new opportunities, new blessings, and new beginnings daily.
Humanly speaking, the old things seem to be more familiar and comfortable. However, for those of us in the work of the Lord, it is the old things that lull us to sleep and keep us in our comfort zone. God needs to stretch us occasionally, and to take us down some new paths in order to keep us fresh and focused in the work of the Lord. The foundation of our faith will never change, but we know that occasionally our methods and approach to the Lord's work needs to be changed.
May I encourage each of us to tell God that we are available to Him to do a new thing in our lives? Open your life to Him and expect Him to do a new work in you that can bring about a
new beginning
in your life and ministry.
The Church of God Believes the whole Bible to be completely and equally inspired and that it is the written Word of God.
The Declaration of Faith is the official expression of Church of God doctrine.
We believe:
1. In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
2. In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
3. That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor
4. That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins
5. That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ
6. In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost
7. Holiness to be God's standard of living for His people
8. In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart
9. In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism in the Holy Ghost.
10. In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost
11. Divine healing is provided for all in the Atonement
12. In the Lord's Supper and washing of the saints' feet
13. In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years
14. In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous and eternal punishment for the wicked
How we got the name 'Church of God'
Although the Church of God is 121 years old, the name Church of God was not officially adopted until the second annual Assembly held January 9-13, 1907, at the Union Grove Church twelve miles in the country from Cleveland, Tennessee. One account of the special Assembly session provides this insight, "The name Church of God was (harmoniously) adopted amid great rejoicing, not as a new name, but as a discovery of how the church was spoken of in Apostolic days, just as other blessings were being discovered in these last days."
Christian Union (1886-1902)
Union signifies oneness, being united, coming together for a specific purpose. That's what happened on August 19, 1886. "
A small group of like-minded believers gathered in the rough-hewn Barney Creek Meetinghouse
." Their efforts for spiritual renewal and reformation in the traditional churches had been spurned and met with hostility. They were seeking new directions in serving the Lord in "spirit and in truth." Richard G. Spurling gave a powerful discourse on departing from man-made creeds and traditions and to unite in taking the New Testament as their only rule of faith and practice. Eight people "came forward" at the invitation of Spurling and a new organization was birthed. Christian Union was the name accepted by the young organization, even though it was understood to be the Church of God. The people were in union with Christ and with each other to move forward in what was called the "last great reformation."
The Holiness Church (1902-1907)
Up until 1902 the young organization did not have plans for government, practices, or accountability. This resulted in false teachers, false doctrines, a falling away, and persecution. There was a need for both spiritual and governmental structure. On May 15, 1902, a meeting led by R. G. Spurling was conducted in his mountain home in Cherokee County, North Carolina, to discuss the state and direction of the young organization. Charles Conn states, "
The church was restructured with a simple plan of government and regulation designed to safeguard the future from interlopers
(people who meddle)." The name was changed to The Holiness Church at Camp Creek. Here again, the name '
The Holiness Church
,' indicated purity in doctrine, living a sanctified life, and the empowerment of the baptism of the Holy Spirit to perform God's work with balance and vision.
Church of God (1907)
The Second Annual Assembly convened at the little Union Grove Church, near Cleveland, Tennessee. At a session held at 8:30 on Friday morning, January 11, 1907, the name was changed from the '
Holiness Church
' to '
Church of God
.' "
It was agreed by all present that this was the appropriate biblical name and supporting scriptures
(1 Corinthians 1:2; 2 Corinthians 1:1)
were included in the measure. Their attitude was that the body of Christ should maintain the ideal of Christian union and proclaim the doctrine of holiness-but its name should be Church of God
The young church had always considered herself to be the Church of God and the name in doctrine and practice had been embraced from the beginning. The church had used the name Holiness Church at Camp Creek in spite of the fact that it had been agreed on June 13, 1903, that it was the Church of God. "
There was a strong desire to use the scriptural name, just as there was a desire to be scriptural in all actions of the church

Is It True That Some Players Can't Hack It in New York?
Like many 538 articles, the conclusion is "maybe, there could be something there, but there's not enough evidence to really say."
Also, I'm sick and tired of players like Albert Belle being on top of the leader board for RAA below projected RAA.

Full Count » Mike Carp, Felix Doubront and the challenges of player discontent on a struggling team
They don't see the numbers? Of course they see the numbers. It's why Doubront is not starting. I've been watching him all the time he's been with the Red Sox. He's a mediocre lefty with a fastball that has dropped three miles in velocity over the last few years. Throwing 89 MPH with crappy control and mediocre command does not make for an effective starting pitcher. Maybe his agent should explain this to him.

Hmmm..This is an interesting topic. I don't like the song...Well I only like the "Lift me up...let me go" part..I am not like those ppl who want HT4, I understand that LP is trying to make some changes, but this is not it....I loved MTM....A lot of ppl said MTM was a failure cause it was not like Meteora or HT, but I think it was a great album.. And I have nothing against making new stuff but The Catalyst is..I just don't like it. I doesn't feel like LP ..I heard the "She couldn't" demo a couple of days ago..yeah it is an old demo, I know, but that demo just shows how LP can do other stuff too and keep that sound we all love.... :)
Well, i think Ryan has summed it up very nicely for all of us here. But i will try to add my thought on what i think the song is about.
First to start of the song is moody & redundant to some extent at the start until the electronic beat kicks in. About the name The Catalyst, it literally means a person or thing that causes a change of some sorts (at least this is the only logical definition that band can has related to the song i think) The chorus of the song as you can decipher it's an outcry of some sort & i can figure its begging for a change of things & that change kicks in when mike comes in with "Lift me up...Let me go" there you go that's the change in the song Hence The Catalyst. Mike starts it & than Chester takes it to a different level & another extreme dimension of vocal prowess, mike is singing in the background provides stability and a structure to the song. Than chorus comes in with whole of the band singing it definitely makes for an awesome spectacle somehow I feel like this song is like an improvement over The Little Things Give You Away. I don't mean lyrically because both of them are entirely different songs but I feel like you can relate to the structure of the both songs with how the whole of the band finishes TLTGYA & the Catalyst. That's the new add-on of the band that Dave is now singing too along with Mike.
I know some fans might not relate to the new sound that band has developed but I will say Kudos to the guys for changing because I know people say we needed Hybrid Theory Part 4 & not a sequel to M2M, but I beg to differ cause seriously those people who say that won't have liked it one bit the quadrilogy of HT & than they would have been saying "it's the same old crap & they are not developing as musicians". As far as the Catalyst goes & what could I make up with reviews of ATS the band has definitely grown leaps & bounds & they have reached to the point that they always wanted with M2M (which was as it seems now was a transition record) they have finished what they started with M2M. That's my 2 cents, Thank you for reading.
This song is quite easy to pick out. it's clever how they've hidden all of these little details. Anyway moving on.
When chester sings 'God bless us everyone we're a broken people living under loaded gun" It MUST be do to with cowboys and possibly indians (Im not sure). Because Cowboys were highly religious - to our knowledge - and they were saying god bless us. And they obviously loaded they're gun in the fight against indians (Or possible mammal)..
'Lift me up - let me go" This obviously means when The Cowboys hunt for they're food and they kill it, and lift it up on theyre cattle, and ride it home, and let it go on the floor.
it's clever how theyve hidden all of this, but the theme of the song is Cowboys and Possibly Indians.

The Times-Tribune
By Becky Killian / Managing Editor
The first shots have been fired in the Whitley County attorney race with Don Moses citing the former location of the child support office and a backlog of cases as reasons for not electing one of his opponents.
The target is candidate Bob Hammons, a former two-term county attorney and assistant county attorney who said he is "disappointed" that Moses would imply he wouldn't handle cases efficiently and maintained it is best for the county attorney to have offices in both the county's cities to best serve the people.
Moses, Hammons and Graham Trimble have each filed to run in the Whitley County attorney's race and will appear on the republican ballot for the May 22 primary election.
Moses provided the Times-Tribune with a lengthy report he said was generated by the Whitley County Circuit Clerk's Office to show all open cases handled by his office.
The report, dated Jan. 12, shows 4,802 cases including 708 felonies, 1,234 misdemeanors and 2,860 traffic cases. Some of the cases date back to 2000.
Moses said after he was appointed to the office by Whitley County Judge/Executive Pat White to fill the vacancy left by the appointment of former county attorney Paul Winchester to the 34th Circuit Court judge's seat, he found the county attorney's office in a "shambles."
"Very early on during the course of my activities as county attorney, I ran across a case from 2000 that was an unemployment fraud case. It shocked me that the case had been continued for 12 years," Moses said.
During a preliminary hearing, Moses said the defense asked for another continuance on behalf of the defendant in that case, Karen Faye Sutton. Moses said he objected, asking that the preliminary hearing continue or that it be waved to the grand jury. The judge agreed and remanded Sutton to custody, with Moses saying bond was set at an amount roughly equivalent to the restitution needed in the case. The case ended a couple days later when Moses said Sutton paid the bond of just over $3,000.
Not long after the Sutton case was resolved, Moses said he saw a couple more cases on the docket that dated back about 10 years which led him to request the report.
Referring to that report, Moses said "Those have accumulated since about the time that Mr. Winchester and Mr. Hammons took office."
Some of the cases on the report list David W. Burton as the judge. Moses said he suspects those cases that list Burton, who is deceased, as well as then-district Judge Kimberly Frost-Wilson, have likely seen little activity. He also said some of the cases could be unresolved because the defendants failed to appear or might be fugitives. Some defendants might also have died since the cases were initiated.
"Now, Mr. Hammons has indicated that he has all these years of experience as chief assistant and you will notice the backlog started to accumulate about the time he became chief assistant county attorney and has continued to grow through the years," Moses said.
When asked about the backlog, Hammons said he has a plan to address the issue and that he disagrees the case load would be backlogged if he is elected.
"I am very disappointed that he (Moses) would make that remark," Hammons said.
Hammons proposes periodic reviews of the cases at least once a quarter involving judges, victims, defendants, their attorneys, and the clerk's office. He also wants to reduce multiple court appearances by assessing each case to determine which require adjudication and those cases in which the defendant simply wants no further contact with the accused.
"I would like to make the court system user friendly for the victims and the witness," Hammons said.
Hammons also said Moses could have been the defense attorney for some of the older cases on the list and questioned Moses' role in those cases being delayed.
When asked, Moses said he hasn't looked at the individual cases to determine those in which he may have served as defense attorney. He also said he may have asked for continuances from time to time as defense attorney but that it was still the county attorney's responsibility to prosecute those cases.
On his part, Moses said he has already talked to the district judges who have agreed to start pretrial conferences and preliminary hearings in Williamsburg in the morning rather than the afternoon as of the first Monday in May. He said this will allow more time to process cases since there are sometimes delays in the public defenders arriving in court because they are being called in multiple cases in different courtrooms.
Moses said there is no "one size fits all" strategy for dealing with the cases and that they will have to be handled individually.
Each of the candidates said he would aggressively prosecute DUI cases.
An August story in the Times-Tribune indicated that a report generated by the state showed Whitley County as leading the Tri-County area in the number of DUI cases that had aged beyond 90 days.
Trimble cited the story, saying the county's DUI conviction rate needs to be improved. He also said he is aware of a backlog of all cases which he estimated may number in the hundreds.
"It's not getting any better," Trimble said.
Trimble's proposal to remedy the backlog is to have more trial dates.
Calls to Winchester's office seeking comment were not returned.

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month , and this story brings to light the risks of tanning and particularly using tanning beds.
Tanning beds seem to attract teenagers as they strive to bronze up for prom or for the upcoming beach season. And, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, melanoma is the 2nd most common cancer among 15 - 29-year-olds. Scary.
Many states allow children over 14 to use tanning beds with parental consent.
What do you think of tanning beds? Should they be better regulated? Should children be able to use them, even WITH parental consent?
How have you discouraged your own teens from using tanning beds?
Shout out!
When my husband was working in Louisiana he wanted to get a start on his tan so he would go to the tanning beds (used a stand up one) and when I visited him he purchased a couple for me and when I returned home I bought a couple (have Olive skin tone) so I tan fast.
Well I didn't realize this and I did ask before tanning, that I had a Fusion surgery and have hardware in my back. My PA noticed how much darker I was and she asked what I was doing thinking I was laying out - when I told her she freaked and said to stop cause the heat from the lights would heat up the plate!!!! and that's the truth as I noticed I was in more pain for a few hours after each visit but thought it was from laying down for 10-20 minutes on my back.
With this in mind I don't think tanning beds are good as long term exposure can cause aging, dry leathery skin etc.,
I really don't think the mother's story adds up - guess we will see what unfolds -
Thanks Olivia - Joy
Faster aging aside, the risk of skin cancer is too great, especially with early exposure.
That's interesting, BJ, about the plate/fusion and the impact of tanning on that.
One of my aunts is younger than my mom but looks older because she spent a lot of time in the sun when she was younger. I used to lay out but never for very long but now I try and stay in the shade and if I'm going to be in the sun make sure I'm wearing sunscreen.
I remember being a teen and literally rubbing butter on myself to lay out in the back yard. Ugh. If I knew then what I know now. All I can do it try hard to communicate what I know to my kids. I brought them up slathered down with sunscreen before they ventured out to the pool or on the boat. And, they STILL managed to get burned from time to time.
Now I have a crusty spot on the tip of my nose that I am pretty sure it is actinic keratosis. Going to have a skin check with my derm next week and kind of worried.
Teens should NOT be allowed in tanning beds, and parents should NOT ever approve it for them. It's up to us to protect them.

602 S. Gay Street
2nd Floor
Knoxville, TN 37902
The most significant and obvious challenge in the current foster care system is the lack of available, qualified, and stable homes for children in care. Unfortunately, many adoption agencies close their doors to some of these parents because they are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. The state of Tennessee does not have any legislation that prevents discrimination against the sexual orientation of the parent(s) seeking to adopt.
Thirty years of research show same-sex parents are just as good as any other parents, supporting the position that sexual orientation is a non-determinative factor in the success of parenting and the success of the children. Every national child welfare organization in the nation (including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Child Welfare League of America, the National Association of Social Workers, the American Psychological Association, the North American Council on Adoptable Children and the American Medical Association) has endorsed the ability of gays and lesbians to parent.
Most importantly, these nontraditional couples are ready and WILLING to adopt. Statistically, same-sex couples are six times more likely to adopt than heterosexual couples and four times more likely to foster. There are 104,000 children in the U.S. foster care system, yet states continue to close doors to qualified families.
Knoxville was voted the 8th gayest city in 2012 by The Advocate, a gay and lesbian magazine. The magazine says it based 2012's list on "subjective criteria" and looks at the "per capita queerness of some less expected locales." I would like to reference Metro Pulses' own article from last June which discusses this ranking in "How Gay is Knoxville, Really?" Author Mike Gibson discusses Knoxville's cultural diversity and celebrates Madeline Rogero for the headway she has made for LGBT citizens. Metro Pulse seems progressive in its feelings toward LGBT civil rights, for which I am grateful.
As a lesbian woman with the desire to one day have a child to call my own and raise to the very best of my ability, I hope that I can seek the route of adoption without facing heartbreaking adversity. There are children all across the nation who need homes, and there are qualified, loving people like myself being denied a chance to provide them.
Knoxville, I implore you to reach out to our district Congressional representative, Jimmy Duncan, or state Senators Corker and Alexander, and call them to support the Every Child Deserves a Family Act, which was introduced to both the House and the Senate in May of this year. This act seeks "to prohibit discrimination in adoption or foster care placements based on the sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status of any prospective adoptive or foster parent." This landmark act will help ease the hundreds of thousands of children in the country looking for their forever homes. Help us live up to our reputation as progressive, loving individuals that have the opportunity to enact real change.

PLATTSBURGH — Holy hot dogs.
The michigans at Clare and Carl's are ranked 23rd on The Daily Meal website's list of the 35 best hot dogs in America.
Biz News Ink
Owner Terry Murray said they were notified through their Facebook page in early summer. She said she has no idea who visited the restaurant and wrote the review that accompanies the story, but she appreciates the attention.
"It's always nice to be recognized," Murray said.
The section about Clare and Carl's reads, "There's a tiny little shack on Route 9 South in Plattsburgh, N.Y., with a big sign on it advertising Texas Red Hots. When you set foot inside the little building, which was built by founders Clare and Carl Warne in the 1940s, you're going to want to order a 'michigan,' a steamed little hot dog, made just for the stand, on a special-made bun, topped with a secret meat sauce (aka michigan sauce) and chopped onions.
"The origin of the name is the stuff of legend, and plenty of secrets are housed within these walls, namely the ingredients in the sauce and the providers of the dogs and buns.
"But you don't really need to know any of that. All you need to know is that this is a darn good hot dog, the best example out there of the style that's unique to the region (and happens to have nothing to do with either Texas or Michigan)."
Murray said the only real secret is the sauce, even though many people say they know the recipe. The rolls were originally from Bouyea Bakery in Plattsburgh and are now supplied from a Pennsylvania-based company.
It's not the first time the restaurant has received national attention for its michigans. It was one of three local establishments featured in Gourmet magazine in 2006, along with Gus' Red Hots and McSweeney's Red Hots.

PORT ARTHUR — Somerville's death leaves pall over Jackson tourney
Amidst all the triumph and joy of a golf tournament that raised over $20,000 toward the bills stacking up from Belle Oaks pro Bryan Jackson's cancer treatment, an incredibly sad story played out with the death of one of the event's committee members.
Ron Somerville of Port Arthur, who worked tirelessly to help make the
tournament a success, passed away Sunday at a Houston hosptial.
For Jackson, who had become close friends with Somerville in recent
years, the news was devastating.
"That man meant the world to me," Jackson said Tuesday morning. "I must have cried for an hour when I was told Ron had died. He had the
biggest heart in the world. He was such a giving person, always doing something for somebody and never wanting anything in return.
"He was living with and taking care of both of his parents. He took his dad
to kidney dialysis three times a week. He'd take him early in the morning,
then come out and play in the Senior Game. I've dreamed about Ron the last
two nights. This is just sad beyond words."
Somerville's death came nine days after he'd collapsed following a round of golf at Belle Oaks on July 26. Three days prior to that, he'd participated in a planning meeting for the golf tournament. He showed up with items to put into the silent auction and was enthusiastic about the progress that had been made to date.
A 1965 graduate of Port Arthur's now defunct Bishop Byrne HighSchool, Somerville will long be remembered at Belle Oaks, and not just for his thoughtful actions and outgoing disposition. To perpetuate his memory, Joe Vanderweg of Jiffy Trophies in Nederland is donating a plaque that will be placed on the 15th tee.
A memorial service is planned for Monday at 4 p.m. at Levingston Funeral Home in Groves.
CHIP SHOTS: Chris Stroud arrived in Rochester, N.Y. Monday, got in some practice for this week's PGA Championship and indicated a recent injury to his left heel should not be a problem. "The heel is much better, after staying off of it most of last week," he said. "I don't think it's going to hamper me at all." Stroud, after his first look at Oak Hill Country Club, called the golf course "a beast", said it reminds him of a hilly Colonial Country Club (Fort Worth), and indicated it has the thickest rough he's seen in years. "It's tree lined and the rough is going to be an issue," he said . . . Ben Thornton, playing in the Senior 50 Plus Game at Belle Oaks on Monday, made his second hole in one. Thornton sank an 8-iron from 119 yards. Witnesses were Butch Pittman, Cap Hollier and David English . . . The Senior 50 Plus Game was played in a two-ball format, with the team of Jimmy Fetters, Mimi Rose, Paul Duplantis and Richard Sibley winning the front in minus 8. On the back, there was a four-way tie at minus 2. In that traffic jam were the Fetters team, the team of Larry Thompson, Wadsworth Thompson, Larry Voight and Marc Petry, the team of Gerald Huebel, Rick Pritchett, Gary Wagner and Gene Noble and the team of Dennis Walsh, Pat Waite, B. Thillet and J. Selensky . . . Recent PN-G graduate Jarrod Brown fired a two-under par 69 to edge former Indian teammate Brandon Soileau by one stroke and Nederland's Thaine Tilllie by two shots in Boys 16-18 in the Southern Texas PGA Junior Tour stop at Bayou Din. Other winners included Drake Dodson of Vidor, who bested Seth Morgan in a playoff after both posted 75 in Boys 13-15, Jack Burke (78 in Boys 10-12), Courtney Shaw (88 in Girls 16-18) and Karlei Hemler (76 in Girls 13-15) . . . On Tuesday, the STPGA Junior Tour moved to Babe Zaharias and Ralf Barbaso of Port Arthur won Boys 16-18 with a 71. Tillie and Brown tied for second with 76s. Dodson won again in Boys 13-15 with 71, while Brittany Leatherwood of Nederland took Girls 16-18 with a 96 and Caroline Zebre of College Station won Girls 13-15 with an 86. . . . The threesome of Cody Metts, Clint Martin and Ben Sherrod teamed up for a 60 to win First Flight in the Port Arthur Sertoma Club Bryan Jackson Benefit Tournament. Tying for second with 61s were the team of Rob Long, Seve Long and Lance Matthews and the trio of Charles Heider, Richard Scully and Price Youngs. Second Flight was won with a 59 by the team of Richard Briggs, David Girouard and Dennis Walsh. Carding a 61 to finish second was the threesome of Robert Bodin, Reagan Bodin and Hunter Huff. Third Flight was won with a 62 by Paul Flores, Roger Wallace and Jared Wallace. Finishing second with a 63 was the team of Leonard Mosca, Mike Blackwell and Billy Jordan. Closest to the pin winners were Mike Brown (No. 3), Ben Sherrod (No. 8), Vince Olivia (No. 12) and Karl Segura (No. 15) . . . The team of Joe Gongora, Don MacNeil, Harry Green and Malcom Tiller finished plus 21 to win the Babe Zaharias DogFight. Second with 18 points was the foursome of Steve Picou, Randy Becker, Jim Cooper and James Moore. Closest to the pin winners were Richard Sibley (No. 2), Adam Noel (No. 7) and Picou (No. 15) . . . The Senior Game at The Babe was played in a four-person scramble and ended in a three way tie. Carding minus 11 was the team of Larry Foster, Larry Vicknair, Bob Byerly and Jack Wilson, the foursome of Rick Pritchett, Bill Fears, Mariano Nassar and Bob Moore and the fivesome of Larry Thompson, Gene Noble, Pete Reobroi, Harold Wilkinson and Dwayne Morrison. Closest to the pin winners were Foster (No. 2), Noble (No. 7), Wilkinson (No. 12) and Bill Jones (No. 15) . . . The Super Saturday Game at the Babe was played in a two-ball format. The front nine was won at minus 8 by the team of Price Youngs, Troy Touchett, Roger Koch and Dan Flood.

Please refer to the current edition of the "IAB Official Protocol Standards" for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
The IRC protocol was developed over the last 4 years since it was first implemented as a means for users on a BBS to chat amongst themselves. Now it supports a world-wide network of servers and clients, and is stringing to cope with growth. Over the past 2 years, the average number of users connected to the main IRC network has grown by a factor of 10.
The IRC protocol is a text-based protocol, with the simplest client being any socket program capable of connecting to the server.

I love my kids, but I want them back in school already.
It's not because I don't want to spend time with them—I do. I just prefer it to be during non-school hours. But for the second year in a row, we've been "blessed" with an overabundance of time with our children when they were actually supposed to be in school.
Thanks to Hurricane Sandy, our kids have already lost six days this year; adding insult to injury, this was followed immediately by no school on Election Day. Once again, to make up for days lost due to inclement weather, we're potentially facing a longer school year or shortened vacations—and oddly enough, we have to consider this before we're even one-third of the way through the school year.
In fact, as of this, our 12th week of school, there have only been five weeks that the kids went to school for the full five days so far (after Sandy and all the religious and federal holidays).
That's a lot of interrupted learning time. Those six days have serious impact, whether you're a beginning reader who needs cumulative consistency to develop literacy skills, or a high school teen whose in-school time is so important, they are often penalized half a letter grade for missing a day of class and snow days can delay sending transcripts to colleges.
When our curriculum is geared toward "teaching to the test," every minute students are in the classroom counts in order to wring out a bit of teaching beyond the test.
And it's not even winter yet. Anyone want to place bets on how many more snow days we'll get this year? Considering the white stuff on the ground today, merely one week and change after Sandy, it doesn't look good. I really do like Superintendent Gary Richards very much, but I'd prefer not to hear his voice so frequently on the other end of the phone. I bet he feels the same way about having to make those robo calls to me too.
But lo and behold, just when we finally get the kids back in the classroom, next week's school calendar shows they'll have reduced time to actually learn while they're there.
Beginning November 14, the students will have six straight half-days at school before Thanksgiving break. Why? Parent-teacher conferences, which means two more partial weeks, less in-class learning time, and more inconsistency. From past anecdotal and first-hand experience, I know the time kids spend in class those days is often less-focused work time; with snack, specials and "Mom, we watched a video today!" time, we're compounding the lost days of Sandy with less quality education.
Conferences—what should be changed now, but won't be.
In the last several days, an email campaign from parents to the Board of Education and the superintendent went viral. Many parents pushed the board and Dr. Richards to consider postponing conferences. I've spoken to several parents who are upset about the lost time, and want the administration to make changes to get back some of those lost days. One such Wilton parent is Carrie Tobias.
"To me it's two things. It's getting rid of these half days. And it's encouraging the school board to be more flexible and more creative in finding solutions. Clearly, the weather is changing and we're going to keep dealing with this situation," she told me, adding that several surrounding school districts figured out how to bring students back for school on Election Day despite originally scheduling it as a day off.
Wednesday evening, Dr. Richards posted a letter to parents on the schools' Edline website in response to the many emails. He explained why, despite "fully appreciat[ing] the expressed concerns about resuming a normal schedule…we need to 'stay the course' at this time and proceed with parent-teacher conference days as scheduled." The letter said administrators understand the parents' frustrations and did take the matter seriously. Richards wrote that they were unable to open schools on Election Day because of a request from CT's Secretary of State; the letter also stated that the issues will be addressed as they plan for the 2013-14 school year.
The overriding theme of the letter is that parent-teachers conferences are important and it explained why school officials think they shouldn't be cancelled. But that's missing the point many parents are trying to make.
No one is suggesting that conferences aren't valuable or important; it's clear they are both. But perhaps we could find another option to talk about how our children are learning at a better time that doesn't interfere with them doing the actual learning. Here are a few alternative ideas to start off the conversation:
- Hold conferences on Election Day. It's currently a working "professional day" for teachers, so perhaps it's a good alternative for conferences instead. The Weston school district originally scheduled their conferences on Election Day, but coincidently, decided post-Sandy that bringing the kids into school for in-classroom learning met educational objectives more directly than talking to parents.
- Hold conferences after school. My son's third grade teacher scheduled her own parent-teacher conferences in early October to find out from parents what they wanted her to know about their child. She was able to meet with every student's parents in a week of after-school meetings, without impacting any time in the classroom. That's also how they did it when I was in school, so why can't we do that now?
- Hold fewer conference half-days. There are currently five conference days. Sometimes, teachers are able to schedule all their conferences on the first four days, leaving the fifth day clear. At the very least, perhaps we could aim to limit the number of half days to three?
I spoke with Bruce Likly, the chairman of the BOE, to express my opinion about the issue. He said the Board received emails from "several dozens" of parents about it. He stressed that the ultimate decisions about school closings and the calendar are technically up to Dr. Richards and his principals.
Likly was very receptive to discussing it. "Believe me, as a parent I hear and feel [what you're saying], and I hear it and feel it as a board member. The Board challenged the superintendent pretty persistently, to look for options and alternatives to address parents' concerns, and to look at the pros and cons of not only putting kids back in school on Election Day, but also of eliminating or delaying the conferences."
He said administrators did weigh things very carefully before saying no. "I respect the fact that Dr. Richards and the principals have felt and heard the parents' pressure. Quite honestly they're making a hard decision that will create more heat for them, but they'll take that heat because they feel it's the right decision for the kids of Wilton. I really respect that because they were pushed hard. They were standing up saying, 'I hear you but we think this is the right thing for your kids.' That's part of the reason we all moved to Wilton. We have a top performing school district because we have good educators, and we have to respect their position as professionals."
Election Day and keeping schools open
This year and last has shown us just how valuable each day of school is. I wish the administration had been more flexible about adjusting the schedule and had called students back to school on Tuesday after the six-day Sandy break.
My friend, Carrie, put it this way: "When school is cancelled, Wilton parents are expected to change their schedule on a moment's notice, within an hour to find alternate child care, and yet the district cannot do the same for us. I find that arrogant."
Unfortunately, the decision about Election Day 2012 has come and gone. But turning attention to the long term, how can we make future Election Days an in-school day. Can we look at an alternative plan for moving polling places to other sites in Wilton that won't interfere with student in-school days?
What about having the polls at Comstock? At Trackside? At the Wilton Y? At Town Hall? At WEPCO? There are other alternative locations in town that could accommodate the traffic, parking, and polling facilities outside of three Wilton schools, and that are centrally located.
This decision is something that the Board of Selectmen would need to review, in consultation with the Registrars and the BOE. But the time is now to start making that change happen.
Like politics, we've got to look for compromise, and better collaboration.
The administrators—especially Dr. Richards—don't have easy jobs. It can be rough-going to make difficult calls like this, knowing that many people won't be happy. I know their intentions are in the right place, and they're smart educators who truly believe they are making choices in the best interest of educating our children.
In the words of the administration, one of the benefits of conferences is to "promote the involvement of parents in their child's education as they provide parents with the opportunity to talk directly with their child's teacher." It's ironic that, in the aim of promoting collaborative talk between parents and educators in the learning process, at least on this issue the administration isn't integrating what they're hearing from many parents who believe what's in the best interest of their own children—recovering lost school days with actual classroom time.
So, how can your voice be heard on these (and other) topics?
"I do want people to know that their input is critical, and I'm going to do everything in my power to listen to it," Likly said. "But unfortunately sometimes I feel like my hands are tied in how I respond. If it comes into us, it's not going to fall on deaf ears."
Likly strongly encouraged parents to write emails letting the BOE and superintendent know how they feel, and to come to Board meetings—the next one is on November 20, at 6:00 pm in the WHS Professional Library, 395 Danbury Road, 2nd floor. There is opportunity for the public to speak to the board at the beginning and end of every meeting, and they are always eager to hear from parents.
Editor's Note: The November 20 meeting's start time was changed to 6 p.m., according to Bruce Likly.

TOWSON, Md. - Although the 2012-13 Towson men's basketball season is still in the early stages, it's never to early too look at the statistics. Off to their best start since 2008, the Tigers have improved in nearly every statistical category. Below are some of the highlights.
*Although starting four newcomers, Towson's offense has been clicking early this season. The Tiger offense, which ranked last in the country during the 2011-12 season (51.5 ppg), is currently ranked second in the CAA (70.0 ppg).
*Towson also ranks near the top of the league in a number of offensive categories: Field Goal Percentage (46.8 percent/2nd), Scoring Margin (+6.8/2nd), Three-Point Field Goal Percentage (36.1/2nd) and Three-Point Field Goals Per Game (6.0/3rd).
*Although the Tigers were solid on the boards last year, they've gotten even better so far this season. Towson leads the CAA with a +11.6 rebounding margin per game. The Tigers rank second in the league in defensive rebounding percentage (71.7 percent) and first in offensive rebounding percentage (43.8 percent).
*Defensively, the Tigers are second in the CAA in blocked shots (5.2 per game) and third in steals (7.4 per game).
*Towson is allowing 6.5 points per game less than a year ago. The 63.2 points per game the Tigers are allowing this season is fourth best in the CAA. The team also ranks fourth in the league by holding opponents to 39.7 percent shooting.

Chancery: Warrants for the Great Seal, Series II
Various instruments which constituted the authority for the issue of royal acts under the great seal, the order coming either directly from the monarch or through a minister.
The majority are privy seal warrants, followed by signed bills, which were immediate warrants from the monarch under signature or stamp; they include some royal proclamations. Also present are warrants by senior officials like the treasurer, the masters of wards and of liveries, general surveyors and commissioners.
The warrants are kept in files, by month. Some files are wanting. Those warrants without exact dates are given in bundles by regnal year, or by reign. There are very few files between 1644 and 1660.
The provisions of the act of 1535 for the passing of instruments under the great seal remained substantially in force until 1851, when the Signet Office was abolished and the signet bill ceased to be the lord privy seal's authority for his warrant to the lord chancellor.
The sign manual warrants, which thereafter took the place of signet bills, were sent on to the lord chancellor, after being passed and entered by the lord privy seal. By the Great Seal Act 1884 the necessity of passing any instrument under the privy seal was abolished and the Privy Seal Office ceased to exist, warrants for passing instruments under the great seal being thenceforth prepared by the clerk of the Crown in Chancery.
Once the chancellor had approved the docquet, the text of the grant, commission or proclamation as given in the warrant was engrossed by one of the many Chancery clerks, who had divided up the responsibility by subject and by 'ownership' of particular kinds of grant. The clerk of the patents, appointed in 1618, had the responsibility for writing and despatching only those grants, confirmations, charters and letters patent under the great seal which did not belong, or had not already been granted to, any other officer of the court of Chancery.
