Every once in awhile, we come across resources that are not easily available to our global readership and we feel l it necessary to support and offer them. This kind of creative work we support helps people all along the spectrum understand our intent and theology. The Mystic Bible is perfectly balanced on the progressive spectrum, meaningful for people who are deeply connected to the stories of the Bible, mystical and poetic, and yet innovative and theologically progressive.read more
When prayers in Jesus's name go unanswered, and when unrelenting "knocking on heaven's door" produces no result – even when bargains are offered ("I'll stop smoking") – instead of confronting the possibility that God is not going to intervene, the failure is treated as a "test of faith" that "God has a better plan for me." But the transformation of human thought is far more powerful than petitions to a discredited god. At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit, first given by John's Jesus, descends in tongues of flames on the Christian community gathered in Jerusalem. They are empowered to tell the story of Jesus in every language of the known world. Peter quotes the prophet Joel, that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Paul proclaims, "For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body – Jews or Greeks, slaves or free – and we were all made to drink of one Spirit." The imagery of fire represents the outpouring of the presence of sacred being and of creative power. No magic is required.read more
The indication here is that the answer to prayerful request is not the new bike, not health, peace, or justice, not any of the results that we usually pray for. It is, rather, the gift of the Holy Spirit. What is this gift? It is a heightened awareness of who God is, who you are, and who your neighbor is. The answer to prayer, quite simply, is a level of consciousness that is more in tune with God's ever-abiding love. Inasmuch as prayer leads to this result, prayer is its own answer! As that awareness grows, we will become ever more conscious of God's presence. God is always for us, in every way we can imagine and those we can't. Our task is to become ever more aware of this love, and talking to God can assist that process.read more
I think we need some method of communicating with God and prayer is the logical answer. But prayer in which we stop everything we are doing, get down on our knees, fold our hands and pray is not my idea of prayer. I think we should try to communicate with God any time we have a second to think about God or ask God to be with a loved one or friend, or share anything in our life with God. While driving, when watching TV, while on the lake alone, working in the garden, any of those times and many more, we should take a moment to commune (talk, whatever word you want to use) with God. It may be that those moments are more for us than for God, but I like to think that God listens and cares. I admit that I get awfully frustrated when I feel God is not listening because my petitions are not immediately answered in the way that I have requested. I know God's answer may be "no," but that is difficult to swallow.read more
The idea of a second coming of Christ is a mystery, if not explicitly controversial. Jesus' followers apparently believed he would return during their lifetime after he was crucified. When that didn't happen, later followers gradually changed the belief into an indefinite "someday." After two thousand years of waiting, most Christians no longer look for it to happen in their lifetimes and acknowledge that Jesus may have been speaking metaphorically about his return. It is just as likely that those words were put into Jesus' mouth by the gospel writers themselves. Wishful thinking?read more
What prompted the anonymous author of Luke to edit his sources—Mark and Q—and retell the story of Jesus? Using the Scholars Version translation that is true to the everyday Greek of the gospel writers, Pervo explores the who, when, where, why, and how of the Gospel of Luke. Includes the Greek text, introduction, notes, and cross-references.read more
When it comes to the existence of the devil, people normally have one of two reactions: they dismiss the devil and scoff at the idea that there is such an entity, or they exalt the devil, and attribute far more to him (or it) than is deserved. In a recent Gallup poll, 70% of Americans believe in the devil. Half of those surveyed believe that he (this evil force is most often referred to in masculine terms) is a personal force, while the other half believes he is an impersonal force.
Let us see what the Bible says about Satan, the devil and the evil one.
This is a kind of reverse reversal story. Much of Luke's Gospel is about Jesus' journey to Jerusalem, but these two disciples, possibly a husband and wife, are leaving Jerusalem. They are on the road to Emmaus, …read more

Eschatology is the study of last things, the final events in history, the ultimate destiny of humanity, the end of the world. Major issues in eschatology include the rapture, the second coming of Jesus, the tribulation, Millennialism, and the last judgment.
Most of the Christian books I have read do not seriously concern themselves with eschatology, but the Left Behind series of books made it a popular topic. All twelve novels in the series made the New York Times bestselling fiction list – note: the fiction list. Prior to the Left Behind novels of the 1990s, Hal Lindsey's 1970s bestselling books, including The Late Great Planet Earth, were also bestsellers.
Abraham had stirring dreams
That called for emigration.
Steadfast faith sustained his search
Despite its worst privation.
King David was a man of fire
Who sang and danced for God.
The raptures of his heart's desire
Were sacred gifts from God.
The energy of God,
Like yeast within the dough,
Can take a sterile life
And give it strength to grow.
If you want to be happy
Love life more than things
Finding the joys which sharing brings.
If you want to end grieving
For dying or loss
Cry till your tears dissolve your cross.

One of the most reliable facts concerning Jesus is that he was crucified during the reign and by the action of the Roman procurator, Pontius Pilate, who served by appointment of the Caesar from 26-36 CE. The Roman senator and historian Tacitus referred to Jesus' execution by Pilate in his Annals, which was written circa 116 CE. Beyond that, however, there is not much historical evidence.read more

The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority officially kicked off the beginning of Phase 2 of the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project by opening the process for selecting a design-build contractor for the project.
The beginning of Phase 2 marks an important milestone for the project to extend to the Dulles Airport and into Loudoun County, MWAA announced on Friday.
MWAA has issued a Request for Qualifications Information in order to solicit information from potential bidders for the 11.5-mile project that will extend from Wiehle Avenue in Reston west to Dulles Airport, ending at Route 772 in eastern Loudoun County. The RFQI has been posted on the Airports Authority website and can be found here.
"We are grateful to our project partners in the Federal Government, Virginia, Fairfax and Loudoun Counties who have helped keep this project moving forward," said Patrick Nowakowski, Executive Director of the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project, in Friday's announcement. "We will conduct a process to select a highly qualified team to design and build Phase 2 in the most cost-effective manner."
Qualifications statements will be gathered from prospective bidders and a short list of about five finalists will be developed. The next step of the process is for MWAA to issue a Request for Proposals from the finalists, including technical and price proposals. Then a contract will be awarded to the team that meets the technical requirements and has the lowest price.
MWAA estimates that the contract will be awarded in the late spring 2013 and construction of Phase 2 could be completed about five years after the contract is awarded, in 2018.

2013 Bi-Fuel GM Trucks Now Available For Fleets
Would you buy one?
According to GM, production of the 2013 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra 2500 HD bi-fuel pickup trucks is underway and are available for order by fleet and retail customers through Chevrolet and GMC dealers. The 2013 bi-fuel pickups, Silverado HD and Sierra 2500 HD Vortec 6.0L V8, are designed to run on both gasoline or compressed natural gas (CNG). The vehicles can switch seamlessly between the two fuels without affecting performance, and are available in standard and long-box models, as well as two-or-four wheel drive in the extended cab models.
According to Ed Peper, GM U.S. vice president of Fleet and commercial Sales, the CNG and gasoline tanks have a combined range of 650 miles, the longest standard bi-fuel range of any original equipment automaker.The bi-fuel pickups are ordered from the factory, sent to the Tier One supplier IMPCO for installation of the CNG bi-fuel delivery and storage system and then delivered by GM transportation to the dealer or to an upfitter for customer-ordered modifications.
The bi-fuel option is priced at $11,000 above the suggested retail price of the base vehicle. The entire gaseous fuel system meets GM's strict quality, durability and safety testing. The trucks will be covered by GM's three-year, 36,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty and five-year, 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty and vehicle emissions warranty. The vehicle meets all Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) emission certification requirements.

At $11,000 you gotta drive a lot of miles to make the added expense pay back.
I like the CNG idea but not at that price.

I can see this program being cancelled due to low sales volume, which the manufacturer will call "little or no public interest" but in reality is due to the high price.
While if they simply lowered their profit margin and kept the truck price just slightly higher than a similarly equipped non-CNG model they could increase interest and still develop profit.
While CNG kits arent cheap they arent $11,000 either, GM is allowing the conversion company to mark the price right out of the market, at a point in the near future they'll need to rethink this issue to bring the truck line in under new Govt. guidelines for mpg standards.
But at this time GM like other manufacturers is spending more money fighting (read as lobbying Congress) to stop new regulations than what their spending on researching and implementing those measurements. They wont win the fight so IMO their wasting money on lobbying, congress has already made their decision and taken bribes from the other side.
Yep, times are changing and the gov't standards are not going anywhere like you said. I think since the research and design are not in full swing, it will hurt the consumer. The manufacturers make more profit on the bigger vehicles compared to cars and they do not want to give up that profit. Something got to give.

currently Bob Lutz's Via motors is offering a Yukon XL for $79000 according to their website. Looking around I am finding new yukon xl priced between $67000 and $70000. If I had the money and the option I would much rather spend the extra money on a via suburban or yukon xl than go to CNG. They are claiming 100mpg with 400hp in a yukon xl.

|Seahawk Invitational Set For Friday Horn
WILMINGTON, North Carolina – The UNCW men's and women's cross country teams will be joined by 11 other schools late Friday (Sept. 6) for the 24th Annual Seahawk Invitational on the campus recreation fields.
The Seahawks, making their second appearance of the new season after running last week in Boone, N.C, have won the men's race seven times and the women's title on six occasions since its debut in 1986. The men open the competition at 6 p.m., followed by the women at 6:30 p.m., with both teams covering a flat 5k course.
"We're having a good week of training, but we're still eyeing the races that are two months away," said Layne Schwier, UNCW's assistant cross country/track and field coach. "I always say you can either train hard or race hard. Right now, we're choosing to train hard and race to work on tactics and mental toughness.
"We didn't set any end-of-the-year goals this year. Instead, we're focusing on the process. If we cannot stay focused on the process, we probably won't reach our goals in the end anyway. So the process is our goal."
In addition to UNCW, the field includes Barton, Campbell, East Carolina, Guilford, Meredith, Methodist, Peace, UNC Pembroke, Pfeiffer, Shaw and St. Andrews. Schwier said, "I expect ECU to provide the toughest competition, but Campbell should also be strong. Guilford has several strong men as well."
The race will also feature the return of former UNCW head coach Bill Cason, who begins his second year as head of the St. Andrews program.
ECU swept last year's competition, including the individual titles by Stacey Gonzales (18:17) and Antonio Palmer (15:42).
The college competition will be followed by a series of high school races early Saturday, beginning at 8 a.m.

River2Sea Whopper Plopper - $14.99
Designed by legendary angler and TV personality, Larry Dahlberg, the River2Sea Whopper Plopper 130 is a downsized version of the original. Dahlberg and the folks at River2Sea were catching so many big bass - both largemouth and smallmouth - on the musky-sized original Whopper Plopper, they just had to make one the right size for bass.
Whether you crawl it super slow, so you can't even hear the tail, just the tiny glass beads sizzling inside its body, or you speed it up so it throws water like a swamp buggy with the same deep, hollow whopper-plopping-fish-catching sound as the original, the Whopper Plopper 130 gets bit. It still casts a mile, and its ability to work at the widest possible range of speeds, makes it a great tool for honing in on the most productive speeds and rhythms for that particular day. Available in a variety of colors, the River2Sea Whopper Plopper 130's tail is also perfectly tuned right out of the box - so it stays flexible and working properly forever.

Comments: This bait us the best I throw it in Tilley pockets and I get rocked by large mouth. I love this bait thanks R2S.
From: Shad: Concord, CA 3/13/14
Comments: This bait is one of the best topwater baits out on the market. I am from IL and let me tell you, size doesn't matter. This lure is large but it catches fish. I have caught large bass with this lure. Excellent dusk/dawn lure. Loon color is the top producer.
From: Nathan: Moline, IL
Comments: This is a great idea it just needs to be scaled down a little more. I would like to know what kinda of set up people are thowing this with. Thanks
From: Adam:Foristell,MO
Comments: It casts too far and is too noisy and splashes too much water. Scares all the small fish away! Don't buy it. :))
From: D: MN
Comments: This lure is the best topwater lure I have ever used, and I've used just about all of them. I catch the biggest smallies on this, and an occasional musky. I did have a musky rip off one of the hooks from a treble but luckily he had the other two buried in his mouth as well! I have yet to take this on a largemouth lake and test it because I live near a world class smallmouth lake and have a hard time leaving it when I get as much topwater action as I do throughout the year with this bait, thanks river2sea!
From: Justin: Northern WI
Comments: First off I love this lure! It catches large mouth bass pretty good,Thumbs up for just a great design!! But its just to big for small mouth bass fishing, As I miss 90% of my bites. As they just cant get a good hold on it. I really wish it was smaller say 3 1/2" to 4" would make it one of the best top water baits ever.So i'm putting this one on on the top of my wish list!!
From: Robert: Russell Springs KY
Comments: I don't always write reviews unless I feel that my review is going to help others. First off, I was very skeptical about this bait since it work almost as buzz bait but boy was I wrong. This bait does a lot that a buzz bait can not do. It can float which is very useful when you want to stop-go method. When you stop this bait, it would sit upright which works very good when setting the hook. You can walk the dog with this bait and still splashing tons of water to get notice. I bought this bait on a local bass shop because they got the color that i feel more comfortable throwing with. Works very good early in the morning when the water is calm. I love this bait. You gotta have it in your boat.
From: Brian: CA
Comments: I fish the Susquehanna river in PA for smallmouth and musky and I have a few of the big ones that work and one nite I caught a 5 pound smallie on the big one so I got acouple of the small ones and I throw them rite before dark and kill smallies on them id rock some wire though cause the small one gets attention of muskies too...great plug you can bend the tail and it goes rite back to place....practice catch and release the fish will thank you so will the anglers.
From: Tyler: susquehanna river,PA
Comments: Tried this lure last summer at night. I had a lot of hits with only 1 bass staying on. I had changed the hooks to larger mustad hooks. Any suggestions on types of hooks or hook sizes to use?
Comments: Just caught my first 7lbs 24 inches large mouth bass with the whopper plopper 130. It made my day
From: Zack: Stockton, CA
Comments: Just like my fellow windy city boys have said it, This lure rocks.
From: Ryan: Chitown, IL
Comments: I tried this lure for the first time today and caught a nice shoal bass in the river. I hit a bunch of rocks with it, and have not caused any damage to it so far. It casts a mile. I am going to catch a lot of fish with this lure.
From: Adam: Atlanta, GA
Comments: great lure cought muskie,pike,bass,pickerel,and be leave it or not but even a wallie
Comments: Guess what boys? The little version catches muskies too. I have got to stop buying lures for my pops. I gave him one of these in munky butt and he goes and catches a 53 inch muskie with it. From now on he's only getting golf equipment for Christmas.
From: Big J: Houston, TX
Comments: I've been bass fishing for a long long time and I'll tell you what this is hands down the best top water bait I have ever thrown. This bait will put you on the hot seat. I have never heard such a gurgle come from a bait and you can work it at all speeds and stands straight up on pause. I will have a couple of each in this bait in case I break off because the fish do explode like no other on this bait. River 2 sea you nailed it. The only one thing I would do to this bait is change the hooks to a 2x strong because they will bend out with the violent strikes this bait gets.
From: Troy: Auburn, CA
Comments: I brought the chubby color up to the Wolf River in WI and got 11 pike and a 5lb Lg Mouth on the first afternoon fishing it. This is a "must have" bait.
From: Brandon: Antioch, IL
Comments: Finally got this bait in the loon color, it was on back order forever but glad it arrived. cant wait to throw this once it warms up. have this bait in bone color also and it has great action and its gonna be a killer topwater bait for sure.
From: Matt: IL
Comments: I threw this Monday and was anticipating an explosion on every cast. Great noise, fishing it fast or slow, simply awesome.......Plop Plop Plop.....Boom!
From: Nate: Edmond, OK
Comments: I bought this recently and it is amazing. It makes incredible noise and it works at high and low speeds. If you like buzz baits, this will surely impress you. Buy with confidence.
From: Thomas: Columbia, SC
Comments: This bait looks like its gonna be killer. that loon color looks amazing and cant wait till it gets shipped out when there back in stock!
From: Matt
Comments: I would love to get these in the big size too!
From: Big j: Houston, TX
Comments: yes!!!

PHISH.IS.BACK. And we are back. And it is Leg 2. And all is well in Phish land….. But seriously.
Tonight you have just Chris and I. Chris was in SF. I was on couch tour. We both of course listened to all 4 of these shows multiple times. We found the best clips, as usual. However, for the first time in type 2 history, I got to pick all of the timings. That said, you know where to send all of your hate mail. Hopefully that isn't the case, and our selections and commentary will shed some new light on these first few shows of Leg 2.
Thanks for listening,

Finding aid 15-13 is a typed file conversion list. Land scrip notes retained by the National Archives are grouped according to the amount of the scrip (i.e., 80 acres, 160 acres, or 240 acres), and in numerical order (i.e., the registration number) within each group. Finding aid FA15-13 will guide researchers to the volume in the Department of Interior fonds where the note is stored; but to use this finding aid researchers must know the scrip number. To find the note awarded to a particular claimant when the registration number of the scrip note is unknown, researchers should first refer to the delivery registers (see, Registers and indexes relating to Métis and Original White Settlers land records sub-series within this fonds, RG15-D-II-8-m, and specifically volumes 1518, 1519, and 1520) to obtain the scrip note number, and then to finding aid FA15-13 to find the volume number where the note is stored. 15-13 (Paper)

It seemed like a simple question. What was I expecting for Peter in his educational future? I find I sometimes give short answers to questions like that.
"The future is difficult to guess, especially with Peter." The short answer is usually enough, although once those words are out there I get that quickened heartbeat--that worried feeling, I push aside when I think far ahead.
A mom I know is an educator and we have known each other for years because of our daughters, so I gave her the long answer. I told her questions like that make me really nervous. Then I gave her my whole thought process. I get nervous for all my kids' futures, but Peter's is more unclear than the others.
When I think about the future for Peter I have so many questions and then I remind myself if I tried to predict Peter at the beginning of middle school I would have been very wrong.
She didn't know Peter when he was little, so I told her—he had no language. He barely had sentences when he started Kindergarten. His preschool teacher was not sure he would ever have a handwriting anyone could read, except Peter.
When I took those quick looks to the future back then I wondered if he would ever communicate. I wondered if he would learn to read, do math, function at all in this crazy world.
Now he is the one fixing iPads for his teachers. I can read his mini-essays without struggling and so can most people. He is talking to me about how he feels about weather, middle school and more. He is doing math to figure out how old I was when certain television programs were first aired. I would have never guessed any of that, so I try not to guess too far ahead.
I work with Peter for the best of all worlds—college, marriage, kids and at the same time I prepare for the most complicated—he may always need a support system. When I look ahead I always look back first to remind myself how far he has come and remind myself that I cannot come close to making an accurate guess.
When I look ahead I often think of Peter in the sprinkler as a preschooler. It has become a metaphor for how to look at Peter's future. In early July, he stayed on the perimeter and just watched the girls play in the water. He would go near the sprinkler and stare at it when it was off.
One day, we lowered the water to his ankles and he gave it a try. We slowly inched the water up day after day. By late August, he was putting his face in the water just like his sisters.
That is how we look toward the future, one little thing at a time. Middle school, here we come.

Too Many Trucks
I'm new here, but wish I had thought to find a site like this a long time back - At the same time, I feel a bit guilty, as my motive is to find new homes for two of my trucks... I have two C-30 Crew Cab Duallys - '79 and '86, both of which I have used to tow the vintage boats I restore as a hobby. The '79 I've had for 18 years, the '86 for three+. Both 454, 400 trannies (the '86 with a Doug Nash underdrive) , straight, some light rust starting, but real good rigs and perfect for restoration.
My wife hates them, (neither AC's work any more- doesn't like the color, thinks they are ugly, etc...) but before I go and find a contractor or gardener who needs something to throw stuff in, I thought I'd try and find someone that appreciates these for the great trucks they are and who would at least respect and possibly restore them.
I'm in Washington State near Seattle and will be happy to communicate with anyone who may have an interest. Once it quits raining, I'll get some new pictures taken.

Prince William Gossip
Prince William gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Prince Harry's collar and cloak
WPA Pool/ AFP/ Getty
Prince Harry joined his grandfather yesterday on a visit to Westminster Abbey to commemorate upcoming Armistice Day. I was in London around this time a couple of years ago. The "field of poppies" is incredibly moving. Each poppy is attached to a cross, and each cross represents a life lost in service of country. Full Story
Princess Catherine's red coat Poppy Day
CARL COURT/ Getty
The Cambridges were out today in London supporting Poppy Day staff and volunteers. At some point, they went on a bus ride. The poppies are for Armistice Day in England which is Remembrance Day here in Canada which, I think, is Veterans Day in the US. In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. Full Story
Christened in cream & blue
Ben A. Pruchnie/ WPA Pool/ Getty
I'm not here to regurgitate facts about the 7 godparents and how many guests and the age of the christening robes and where the water came from. You can get that everywhere else. What we do is GOSSIP. Let's start with all the speculation about the new royal strategery – that the Queen, Prince Charles, and Prince William have decided to tier the royal family and they've put themselves and their spouses into an 8 person little club that's more special than all the others. Full Story
Will & Kate's state dinner with Taylor Swift
Prince William and his Princess Catherine will host their first ever State Dinner at Kensington Palace on November 26th in support of Centrepoint and its services to help homeless youth rebuild their lives. For 50 thousand pounds, you'll be invited to join the Cambridges at the VVIP reception for a meet and greet with their celebrity friends including Eliza Doolittle, James Blunt, Taylor Swift, and Jon Bon Jovi. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
It's christening week. Prince Little G's big day is coming up on Wednesday, almost exactly 3 months since we saw him for the very first time. This is a big deal because A. our society is baby crazy, B. a lot of us are royal crazy, C. Princess Catherine might wear McQueen, D. 3 out of 6 godparents remain unannounced (as of post time), and E. aristocrats in hats, always entertaining.
So far the extended guest list hasn't been made public. There are rumours that since it's to be a relatively small affair, several members of the royal family won't be invited. Afterwards the Queen will pose with Prince Charles, Prince William, and G too – the monarch and the 3 future monarchs all together. And if Her Majesty is the one holding the baby, everyone will explode with excitement. Read Full Intro
Harry to marry?
Chris Jackson/ WPA Pool/ Getty
But first, check out hot Harry being super cute with the babies in Australia the other day. The thing about Harry that's so irresistible and entertaining is that he doesn't seem to change his personality with the venue or the event. Wherever he is, Hot Harry is always at the club. Tonight Harry is at a fundraiser for Sentebale in Dubai. Full Story
A monarch and two heirs go to church
Pacific Coast News
Prince William and his Catherine went to church in Aberdeen with the Queen and Prince Charles on Sunday. Will drove himself, with Kate in the passenger seat, and Charles too. God that must be a pain in the ass that they can't travel together. Otherwise, like most families, it's all in one car. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Prince William and Princess Catherine will attend the Tusk Trust gala tonight. It'll be Kate's first time in a ball gown since giving birth to Little G. Those photos will be posted as soon as they're available. It was also officially announced today that William is leaving the Royal Air Force after over 7 years of service. So what's he doing next? They don't know. They're calling it a "transitional year" and that he still has to figure out his new job description. In other words, he's taking a year off. Must be nice. Here's the official statement from the Palace:
"His Royal Highness The Duke of Cambridge is to leave operational service in the Armed Forces. He completes his Tour with the Royal Air Force Search and Rescue Force at RAF Valley, Anglesey, after more than seven-and-a-half years of full-time military service. Read Full Intro
Princess Catherine's first baby ball
Danny E. Martindale /LEON NEAL / PETER NICHOLLS /Getty Images
It's the Tusk Trust gala in London tonight. It's Katy Cambridge's first ball since the arrival of Prince George. We make big ass deals out of these things. And? Jenny Packham. Post-pregnancy then is no different from pre-pregnancy. Not surprisingly, I hate this dress. Loathe. Full Story
Will & Harry on the phone
Chris Jackson /WPA Pool /Getty Images
Princes William and Harry made multiple appearances today in London. Check them out at BGC Charity Day at Canary Wharf, in memory of victims of 9/11, raising money for several charities. Both were involved in a number of multi-billion dollar Euro trades this morning. Would you give if Hot Harry was on the line? How about if he's on Skype with you, making this face? Later on, the princes joined their parents at a requiem mass for Hugh van Cutsem, a close friend of Prince Charles. Full Story
The Cambridges at the marathon
Wenn, WPA Pool/ Getty
Their first official appearance together since taking Little G home from hospital to kick off a marathon in Wales. Apparently it was a last minute decision for the Princess depending on how Little G was behaving. But she wanted to properly thank the community for the support so Baby G stayed back at the house with Carole Middleton as Kate told a well-wisher: 'He's doing very well. Full Story
The Cambridge Family portraits
Handout/ Getty
Prince William and Princess Catherine released their first family portraits yesterday. The photos are meant to be informal, in keeping with the "modern monarchy" style they've played so beautifully. Kate leaves the hospital not concealing the fact that she still has a significant bump. Full Story
Will's first interview about Little G
Prince William's CNN interview doesn't air until September, around the time Princess Catherine is scheduled to make her first public appearance at the Tusk Trust Awards. The Tusk Trust is why Will agreed to speak to CNN – to advocate for African wildlife. Naturally, everyone else is focusing on the apparently wild future king who's approaching his 1 month birthday. Full Story
Little G's dad says he's really goodlooking Prince
William stepped out for his first official appearance in Wales today since the birth of Little Prince George. He and Katy Cambridge will soon be leaving Anglesey when his RAF commitment ends in a few weeks. Will said they'll miss it there and thanked locals for welcoming them and protecting them too during the first days of their marriage and that Anglesey would always be one of the most special places in their lives.

Would you like to get involved with the local community? Want to make a difference in the life of a neighbor in need? Here's your opportunity!
The Naval Postgraduate School Command Religious Program is beginning a partnership with the Interfaith-Homeless Emergency Lodging Program (I-HELP) to provide interested students, faculty, staff and family members an opportunity to serve the homeless community in our area. I-HELP provides "a compassionate community response to the need for shelter for homeless men in Monterey County. I-HELP is a program for homeless men, providing shelter, meals and guidance as they work toward their goal of self-sufficiency."
Over 60 congregations participate in I-HELP by opening their doors to host the program one night every other month and/or providing a meal for 24 men. This is how the program works. Every night around 1700 the I-HELP van picks up approximately 25 men in the parking lot across from the NPS Del Monte gate and takes them to a local house of worship (a different one each night). There dinner is prepared and served to them and they can spend the night. The men eat breakfast in the church the next morning and then are given a brown bag lunch and taken to their jobs or other locations for the day.
Here's where we come in: On the second Saturday of every other month, volunteers from NPS will prepare and serve either supper or a brown-bag breakfast and lunch to the men in the I-HELP program at Sanctuary Bible Church in Carmel Valley. We'll continue to alternate lunch delivery and dinner preparation on the second Saturday of every other month. At this time, the second Sunday of the month is the only time that I-HELP does not have a group committed to providing meals.
What we need: Dedicated volunteers willing to spend 4 hours every other month to help prepare the meals, serve them to the men, and interact on a personal basis with fellow human beings in need of friendship and support.
This is a tremendous opportunity to work with an expert organization that truly impact lives.
To volunteer to help, or with questions, please contact Rosalina Morata or call the Chaplain's office for more information.
For more information on I-HELP, or their parent organization Shelter Outreach Plus, visit them on the web at http://www.shelteroutreachplus.org/men.htm.

WASHINGTON -- Although a growing number of Americans say they are not affiliated with any religion, Congress has just one member who says the same. A new political action committee is hoping to level the playing field.
On Wednesday, the Center for Humanist Activism launched the Freethought Equality Fund PAC, which it's billing as the first nontheist political action committee with a full-time paid staff.
"I am pleased that we're able to meet this need for political representation for atheist, humanist, and other freethinkers," Roy Speckhardt, the group's executive director, said in a statement. "To be able to provide financial assistance to candidates who support secular government will benefit all Americans, including those who value the absence of government entanglement in religious beliefs."
The PAC will back humanist, atheist and agnostic candidates at all levels of government. Freethought's coordinator, Bishop McNeill, told The Huffington Post that it would also be open to supporting candidates who identify with a religion if they are committed to protecting the separation of church and state and defending the civil liberties of secular Americans.
Nonbelievers have expressed concerns about religious lawmakers who are hostile to legislation based on scientific research because it conflicts with their faith.
"Whether we recognize it or not, Americans are held captive to the will of Religious Right leaders who remind us of our inferior position by using the power of government to enforce laws that put truth claims about religion in front of us at every turn," Maggie Ardiente, Freethought's director of development and communications, said at the group's press conference Wednesday morning at the National Press Club. "We have to spend our tax dollars on schools in most states where educators refuse to teach that the evidence massively supports a theory of evolution that unites everything we know about biology."
The PAC has not yet endorsed anyone, but McNeill identified Reps. Judy Chu (D-Calif.), Rush Holt (D-N.J.) and Bobby Scott (D-Va.) as possibilities, as well as Democratic congressional candidates Lee Rogers in California and Will Brownsberger in Massachusetts. Officials said on Wednesday they would be open to endorsing members of either party, although right now, they're not finding many Republicans who agree with their positions.
Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) is the only member of Congress to declare herself as unaffiliated, even though about 20 percent of the public identifies that way. The 113th Congress also includes Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii), the first Hindu to serve in Congress, and Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), the first Buddhist to serve in the Senate.
The last atheist to serve in Congress was former Rep. Pete Stark (D-Calif.), who was defeated in the 2012 elections.
Freethought believes there are at least a couple dozen closeted atheists currently serving in Congress.
"I believe that there are currently no 'out of the closet' atheists in Congress because of the negative stigma attached to the word atheist," McNeill said. "America is still one of the most religious countries in the world, and politically, its difficult to win elections if you come out as an atheist."

text: It is hard to compare these artists, given the difference in their media. The most exciting, as far as I can tell from these photos, are performancers Doho Lee, the dancers, one of which is a wheelchair and the singer/guitarist Hadero. But I am influenced by the beauty of the photographs: that of those two dancers - Wow!, and the photo and description of the performance of Doho Lee is great. And the singer/guitarist Hadero looks like she is terrific.

Wednesday 30 November 2011
Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas has called for the Club's fans to get behind them as they enter a crucial run of matches.
The Blues suffered a third defeat in four fixtures at home against Liverpool in the Carling Cup on Tuesday.
They are away to Newcastle in the Barclays Premier League on Saturday before crucial home matches against Valencia in the Champions League and Manchester City.
Villas-Boas said: "Away from home we've been more solid, statistically and as a team. At the moment, when we play at home we've not been good enough, we need to get our fans behind us.
"We play most of the top teams and that is our challenge for December"
- Andre Villas-Boas
"You can feel Stamford Bridge has become anxious when we play at home but we need their full support, it's the only way you can build the right atmosphere.
"We have two big games at home now where we need the fans right behind us."
The Blues boss feels his side need to rise to the challenge during a hectic month.
"The Champions League is very important situation and we will need to up the tempo and play with desire," he said.
"For our Premier League challenge to be alive we need to make the most of the December fixtures. We play most of the top teams and that is our challenge for December."

Earned Income Tax Credit Initiative
Louisiana's State EITC
Louisiana is the first southern state to establish an Earned Income Tax Credit. The state EITC took effect in Tax Year 2008, and Louisiana filers can claim the credit when they file their 2009 state income tax return. All filers who are eligible to claim the federal EITC are automatically eligible for the state EITC. The state credit amount is 3.5% of the federal credit.
Qualifying for eITC and tax credit amounts To qualify for the EITC for Tax Year 2009 (2010 filing season) you must be a single or married person who worked full-time or part-time at some point during the year and have income of less than:
- $43,279 for single filers ($48,279 for married joint filers) with three or more qualifying children
- $40,295 for single filers ($45,295 for married joint filers) with two qualifying children..
- $35,463 for single filers ($40,463 for married joint filers) with one qualifying child.
- $13,440 for single filers ($18,440 for married joint filers) with no qualifying child.
Additional requirements:
- You must file a Federal income tax return and attach Schedule EIC
- You must have a valid Social Security Number.
- Your investment income for the year cannot be more than $3,100.
- Your filing status cannot be "Married Filing Separately."
The maximum amount of EITC filers could receive for Tax Year 2008 is:
- $5,627 with three or more children
- $5,028 with two qualifying children.
- $3,043 with one qualifying child.
- $457 with no qualifying children.
Which children qualify?
- Sons, daughters, stepchildren, grandchildren and adopted children.
- Brothers, sisters, stepbrothers and stepsisters, as well as descendants of such relatives if they were cared for as members of the family.
- Foster children who are placed with the worker by an authorized government private placement agency.
Can immigrant workers claim EITC? As long as they meet eligibility requirements, legal immigrants can qualify for EITC.
Can a worker eligible for EITC in past years who didn't claim it still get their refund for those years?
Yes. Workers can claim the EITC for the most recent tax year and up to three prior years. For example, in the 2010 filing season (Tax Year 2009), a worker who was eligible for EITC in Tax Years 2006, 2007, and 2008, but did not claim it, can complete an Amended Tax Return (IRS Form 1040X) for those years and send it to the IRS along
with copies of the returns filed originally. Talk with your VITA tax preparer for more information on filing amended returns.
Other helpful tax information
Did you know?
- EITC-eligible workers raising one or more children can receive EITC in their paycheck throughout the year as opposed to receiving their EITC in one lump sum when they file their taxes the following year. This is the Advance Earned Income Credit.
- In most cases the EITC does not affect public benefits such as cash assistance.
- In addition to using a VITA service, low- to moderate-income filers can also file their tax return free of charge by using IRS Free File. To use this free service, go to www.irs.gov and select the "Free File" link on the left-hand side of the page.
- You can file your Louisiana taxes online.
- If you have questions about your federal income tax, call the IRS toll-freehelp line at 1-800-TAX-1040 (1-800-829-1040).

Durham — Duke has two projected starters who havent played in a game since 2011: tight end Braxton Deaver and linebacker Kelby Brown.
Deaver, a redshirt junior, has the size (6-foot-5, 240 pounds) the Blue Devils staff wants in a tight end. He played in all 12 games during his redshirt freshman year and earned one start, against Miami in Week 9. For the year, he caught eight passes for 107 yards and also contributed on special teams.
Deaver, who was projected to start last year, missed the season while recovering from a broken kneecap. He was able to go full speed in the spring.
The competition, I live and die by it, so being able to get back out on the field will be a privilege, and Im excited about it, he said. Im so anxious, you have no idea.
Deaver describes himself as a hybrid tight end, one who can block on the line and in space as well as catch passes. Quarterback Anthony Boone, Deavers roommate, called him the best tight end in the ACC at media day last month.
Deaver did say he grew by leaps and bounds last season, despite not playing.
I was really able to mentally get everything down so that I can play fast, he said. I dont have to think about what Im going to do. I can say bang, I know what Im doing, lets play and react.
Brown, meanwhile, was a two-year starter before he missed 2012 while recovering from a torn ACL. In 19 total games (17 starts), he has recorded 128 tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, seven quarterback hurries and three pass break-ups and sacks apiece. Because of his experience, he felt familiar with defensive coordinator Jim Knowles schemes.
It was tough at first, but I had to learn how to lead as a nonstarter, for the first time since Ive been here, and I had to learn how to encourage guys, he said. Going from maybe getting down on guys a lot to realizing that, Im on the sideline, all they want to hear from me is uplifting encouragement. Im going to be able to bring that into a leadership role as a starter if I win the job this year.
Deaver and Brown have preformed well enough in camp to solidify their starting spots. Now, for the first time in nearly two years, theyre set to take the field.

Haydn Shaughnessy, Contributor
I write about enterprise innovation.
Has Apple lost its way? The world's most innovative company three years ago, its reputation for innovation did not just plateau. It stalled, now it is falling and its share price is vulnerable. To add to its indignity, Apple trails Google and Amazon in the theater of public opinion.
Anybody reading Re:Thinking Innovation over the past three months will know I believe in social data as a powerful indicator of a firm's future prospects.
The spectacular revival of RIM's share price is, in large measure, down to the effort RIM has put into its social reputation. The share price has nearly doubled within a month and yet there is no new product in the market. Call it buzz. Call it the power of social.
Conversely Apple has mismanaged perceptions in a way that was inconceivable six months ago. Over the period that RIM's social reputation has grown, Apple's has been in steady decline.
We are not close to understanding the precise impact of social media but I think it is time to acknowledge that social has a profound impact on stock prices. Go here for a look at reputation and the HP share price. The charts below show online emotion around Apple, Google, and Amazon, both in terms of outlook and sentiment. Neither looks good for Apple, though with its cash pile and goodwill it surely has many options for turning this round.
All data courtesy of marketpsychdata.
Apple, Google, Amazon, OUTLOOK
Apple, Google, Amazon, SENTIMENT
Investment disclosure: short or long on nothing. I don't invest in stocks.
Any financial disclosures, Mr. Shaughnessy ?
Could you please please overlap your "psych charts" with stock prices ?
RIMM is called "buy the rumor, sell the news". It has been called like this for generations, but if, you feel like calling it in a different way and making a blog post out of it, good for you.
Further comments after your financial disclosures.
What is MarketPsych? How measured? Look long enough, manipulate statistics till you get the trend you want – the one that gives the best eye-catching headline – you can make any company appear what in reality it is not. You then avoid accountability for what you have forecast by disappearing from the radar screen each time your dire prediction does not pan out.
"… its reputation for innovation did not just plateau. It stalled…"
Lets see.
Within the last 3 years, the period you quote, Apple introduced the iPad.
OK, maybe you thought that was longer ago. What's it released in the last few months.
How about retina display notebooks. Twice the resolution, four times the nber of pixels, of anyone else's. Apple owns the high end notebook market.
How about the A6 processor. The A5X was already the fastest mobile ARM implementation. But for the A6 Apple made a completely new ARM implantation doubling the speed.
Within the next few months Apple is widely expected to turn the TV industry on its head.
I suggest you stop quoting what you find in Google searches and use your brain.
Great article, you figured it out!! Apple is dead, they failed to innovate and that will be the theme for the rest of 2013.
I can understand some of what this article is saying. Aside from all the numbers and the current health of Apple sales (which happens to be at a time everything looks healthy in retail), there's something stale in the air with Apple and the urgency to get the latest iPhone is just not there anymore. The want for Apple only get less and less as you go down their product line.
Honestly, there are only two things in Apple that are stars, the phone and pad. That's really it. Can an entire company stay on top with just those two things for much longer?
There's needs to be a human connection with Apple as company again. Ever since Steve died, the company started to feel like just a big cooperation all others. They need a new face of Apple.
Now that whole governments and huge businesses are all switching to iPhone in droves, there will be no coming back in the mix for RIM.
RIM is toast. Nobody wants a new RIM OS except geeks on blogs and financial analysts. The People make the buying decisions, and they want the Apple App store.

Play Online backgammon Games For Money
backgammon is a board game for two players. Each player has fifteen pieces (checkers) which move between twenty-four triangles (points) according to the roll of two dice. The objective of the game is to be first to bear off, that is, to move all fifteen checkers off the board. The oldest recorded game in history, backgammon traces its roots to the ancient Mesopotamian game tabula, which appears in an epigram of Byzantine Emperor Zeno (476–481 A.D.). Further archaeological excavations have placed the possible date of origin of backgammon to 3000 B.C.
Though the gameplay is quite basic—each player is trying to move his checkers to his home board and then bear them off before his opponent is able to do so—backgammon incorporates strategy insofar as with each dice roll, the player must choose between multiple options for movement of the checkers. Furthermore, the doubling cube, which raises the stakes of the present game when a match consists of multiple games, and rules like the Crawford Rule and the Jacoby Rule, introduce more strategic intricacies. Experts have also developed a nomenclature to define commonly used general strategies for play such as the running game and the backgame.
As with chess, backgammon has been significantly interfaced with computer technology. By 1979, Hans Berliner's BKG 9.8 program had defeated a world champion backgammon player, and since then neural network and other approaches have improved the playing quality of the virtual backgammon opponent.

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Tenn. – A rockslide blocked SR 840 in Williamson County on Tuesday afternoon for several hours.
The slide happened around noon at mile marker 34.
PHOTOS: Rockslide Blocks SR 840
Tennessee Department of Transportation crews brought in heavy equipment to clear the road. Williamson County Sheriff's deputies were on scene to help with traffic control. Officials said the cause of the rockslide was the increased amounts of rain across the mid-state this past week.
When the rocks fell they landed on the front end of a tractor trailer driven by Dan Rogers. When his cab was hit, he went across the median, and the truck had spilled some fuel on the roadway.
"I saw a little dust falling from the top of that hill over there and I didn't think it was much coming down and then all of a sudden a whole wall of rocks just fell down on me," said Rogers.
Both westbound and eastbound lanes re-opened around 2 p.m.
Officials with the Tennessee Department of Transportation said that this type of rockslide is rare for middle Tennessee but it does happen, especially when the rocks become loose from heavy rain.
"Water, over time, can get in there and in the winter freeze. Then in the summer the extreme heat can cause those rocks to split open," explained Deanna Lambert from TDOT.
Many of Tennessee's roadways are cut into the state's famous rocky top. TDOT keeps track of the many rock walls you drive by everyday.
"Anywhere in Middle Tennessee where we have gone through and built a road we have what we call a rock fall hazard data base and we keep track of anywhere where we've cut through rock to build a road," Lambert said.
In many areas TDOT has installed metal netting alongside the road to prevent the falling rock from reaching the roadway. But that is a costly prevention method.
"At the end of the day a rock slide is very unpredictable, it's an act of nature," Lambert said.
A TDOT geologist inspected the area of Interstate 840 where the rock slide occurred Tuesday afternoon. He found another section of loose rock about 75 feet east of the spot where the rock fell.

LONDON -- The Olympics have been great, but I have to admit, I'm in a bit of golf withdrawal. Haven't swung a club since playing nine with Melinda at Audubon two days before leaving for England. Even though golf is huge here, it's been overwhelmed by all the cheerleading over the home GB team in the Games. I haven't seen the PGA championship on TV anywhere. I don't even know who's leading
On Thursday, I at least got a little golf fix. I went by the Scotland House on Pall Mall in downtown London for a Ryder Cup 2014 reception. Scotland, the birthplace of golf, will be hosting at Gleneagles in Perthshire. They're obviously very happy about the event, and they want to inspire the young people in Scotland to play the sport with greater zeal. Scotland is also hosting the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
In the press conference room, they had nine championship trophies lined up along the wall. The British Open trophy was there. So were the Curtis Cup, the Solheim Cup, the Ladies Scottish Open trophy, and of course, the Ryder Cup. Pretty cool stuff. Some of those trophies are very old.
They promised to have some of the Scottish golf greats on hand. The only golfer there was Catriona Matthew, who has had a very successful career on the LPGA and European tours. She has 10 career wins and has finished in the top five a few times in majors, though she had never won.
Matthew called the Ryder Cup "probably the biggest event in golf." There's something unique about team golf competitions, where you're not playing for money but for your country. She was also excited about golf being admitted to the Olympics at Rio de Janeiro in 2016. Matthew said all the golfers have been talking about it.
I'd love to cover Olympic golf. But first, I'm going to Scotland after the Olympics and hoping to play a round or two. I didn't bring my clubs, but I'm told you can rent them just about anywhere, even at St. Andrew's. There must be some amazing old courses here. Melinda will be coming along, and she's been itching to swing the clubs again, too.
Seeing all those trophies reminded me: I need to get our neighborhood golf trophy, The Voorhees Cup, engraved in time for this year's tournament. I won it the Voorhees Open last year with Scott Fruehauf.
