Professional 3 way combi ladder with box section twist proof rungs enabling double sided use and enhancing safety and a unique safety bar with rung end location point, simply adapts to 3 different modes all in one extension, step ladder and stairwell step ladder.
"I bought this ladder as an indoor and outdoor option. It is very strong and reliable, unlike some flimsier looking ladders that I have seen for sale. I have real confidence in the product when using it. It's size makes it easy to store if you have a reasonable sized garage."
"A broad ladder with strong rungs. Feels very secure to climb. No need to install the cross bar if you don't need it - I would only use it in the garden to stop the ladder sinking into the ground. One thing to be careful of is that it has no real hinges in A format (as photo) so no resistance to closing when you lift the ladder off the floor. I carelessly trapped my fingers - once!"

About 75 people are recovering after a norovirus outbreak at a celebration for the Totino Grace High School football team in Brooklyn Park, but health officials aren't sure where it started.
What was supposed to be a joyous banquet wound up leaving a bad taste in dozens of peoples' mouths, and doctors say there really is no medicine to treat the symptoms of the nasty virus. Instead, the only thing that can be done is allow it to run its unpleasant course.
It was a season to remember for senior Jake Beckman, Andrew Lyons and the rest of the football team. They finished the season 9 and 3, and last Sunday, the team -- along with hundreds of friends and family members -- at a dining hall at Edinburgh USA in Brooklyn Park.
The attendees dressed up and noshed on turkey, prime rib, mashed potatoes and gravy -- but they got more than an all-you-can-eat buffet. A day or two later, dozens of people were feeling sluggish, tired. Then, the vomit and diarrhea set in.
According to head football coach Jeff Ferguson, 75 of the 273 people who attended got sick with similar symptoms; however, Ferguson managed to avoid sharing their fate.
"Maybe it was something that I did not eat. I don't know; I'm not an epidemiologist," Ferguson said.
Officials with the Minnesota Department of Health highly suspect the mass illness can be blamed on the norovirus based on the symptoms, the incubation period, and how the illnesses presented themselves -- especially since norovirus is extremely contagious and can infect anyone.
Norovirus typically comes from fecal matter, and can also appear in the vomit of infected people; however, no one is sure how the infection began. Edinburgh is a huge golf course owned by the city of Brooklyn Park, but the food operation on site is leased out to Lancer Catering. General Manager Dan Jacott told Fox 9 News the company is working with health officials to find the source of the outbreak.
Yet, despite it all, Ferguson said he's already looking forward to next year's get-together with the team.
"Edinburgh is a great place," he said. "We'd like to have our banquet there in the future."
Lancer Catering is a Mendota Heights company with dozens of other contracts with schools and large businesses in the Twin Cities. A spokesperson told Fox 9 News they have never had a norovirus outbreak at any of their other locations, and health officials confirm no other complaints have been made against them.

-- Scott Roberts
FRIDAY, Sept. 17 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration has approved a new use for three cardiac
resychronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-D) to treat people
with a heart abnormality called left bundle branch block who also
have mild cases of heart failure or heart failure with no
The devices are all made by Boston Scientific Corp. As CRT-D
devices, they combine the ability to shock an abnormally beating
heart back to its normal rhythm, and the ability to improve
coordination of the heart's left and right ventricles as they pump
blood through the body.
In people with left bundle branch block, activation of the left
ventricle is delayed, causing it to beat out of step with the
heart's right ventricle.
In a news release, the FDA said the new approval was based on
results from an 1,820-person, three-year study that found among
people with left bundle branch block, the CRT-D devices reduced the
risk of death by 57 percent, compared to those fitted with a
standard implanted defibrillator.
CRT-Ds are to be used in addition to heart failure drug therapy,
not as a replacement for it, the agency warned.
As a condition of approval, the FDA said it is requiring Boston
Scientific to conduct two long-term studies of the devices.

Sellout Risk: Extremely High
These Foursquare Snowboard Pants combine style and substance. The outer shell is durable and is guaranteed to protect you from the elements while the breathable fabric will prevent you from overheating. The lightweight insulation will keep you warm without weighing you down and the seams will provide you with an excellent range of motion so you're always free to make quick moves and sharp turns. The inseam venting will keep you cool and the large pockets are great for storing any valuables you may have to bring with you up on the slopes. An excellent choice, these pants combine style, durability and versatility.
These pants are incredible, They are warm but have good ventilation for the spring. Fit great and the price is excellent
I own two foursquare pants and they're both slightly baggier, so I reccomend downsizing/wearing belt with them. However, other than that, they're great pants with more than enough features and good waterproof/breathability.
I had a pair of these pants that I used last season then passed them on to my nephew who used them for almost all of this season. I usually buy XL but these pants are kind of long so I went with the large. I really liked them they just didn't fit like I wanted so I passed them on. They have a good tech rating and do the job for sure. Lots of pockets. He loves them and plans on using them next season too. Foursquare makes some good stuff.
Pants are a little big for the size, other then that these pants will wear great from cold to warm weather. Stylish look with LOTS of pockets!
the waist is a bit large (i normally wear a 30 waist) but still don't have any problems with it it just fits a bit baggy. the length is perfect (i normally wear a 30 length pant) keeps me dry and has lots of pockets to hold whatever I need on the mountain.
I demo'd these pants and they were great. I little on the thin side but they are a great pant for the price. If you need a really good pair of snowboarding pants and don't want to spend a fortune you can't go wrong with these!
I love these pants. I got the XL. The only problem I have with them is that they are a little too long. I'm 6'0, but I only have a 30 inseam. They measure around 34 in the inseam. These pants are awesome aside from that. They are extremely waterproof and warm. They are very durable, too. Overall amazing pants. Will definitely buy more Foursquare gear.
The pants fit nicely. They are pretty baggy but comfortable. They are a little long, I am 5'10. There are tons of pockets and they keep you warm and dry.
I got these and they are a little big. I personally don't mind it too much because they ended up being so comfortable.
Very nice pant!
I just received the pants so I can't tell you whether it's warm or not, but the pants definitely look hot. My usual pant size is 32 waist 34 length. The waist fit loose but if you are used to wearing baggy style, shouldn't bother you at all. The length was a bit too long but manageable. The pants look and feel great, can't wait for the slopes to open.
bought these for $48 for a back up pair of pants. I cant believe what a great deal it was!
Not a lot of options in colours left, but I got the newold pattern. They look really nice in person. good colour and details.
Pants run between $150-$300 here in Vancouver, BC so for $48 bucks I am stoked!
I am 510. 32 waist. and I got a small. they fit baggy still.
I got the Newold Rip Grid pants color and it looks great. It feels comfortable and I like it a little bit baggy. not disappointed with my Foursquare pant.
Got these pants not too long ago so haven't had a chance to do any real world testing. With that said, I've worn them around the house to get a feel for them. From my impression they are gonna be excellent in almost any condition and the quality is top-notch.
More pockets than you need. Look great in person, love the style.
The insulation is good but not overdone. I can move well in them. They do run big so I bought a Large (even though XL is more my size) and they fit perfectly.
Huge bonus for me is that they button into my Four Square Jacket so I'm totally covered on the serious pow days.
I was wary getting a small sized anything, i never wear smalls. Looking at the chart however, i clearly needed the small. I am 5'10 155lbs and the small fits me great, a bit baggy which is what i want for mobility. Waist fits great, i could probably do without a belt given the adjustable waist snaps. These are very warm, so no concern there. For the price, these are excellent pants and they look pretty schnazzay as well. can't go wrong, unless you need top-shelf designer schwag. Just make sure to get one size smaller than your norm.
Great pants with plenty of pockets to carry the goods. They are very comfortable and a bit baggy but then again I prefer it that way. With the insulation on the knees and seat these pants kept me dry on really wet days and warm when it was super cold!
Another great pair from foursquare. 8 pockets, if that's not enough , you have too much stuff. They have even more insulation than I expected. Adjustable waist makes them fit just right. I have never been disappointed with Foursquare pants.
Probably could of sized down, but look dope all the same. Tons of pockets.
Wow, these pants can carry some goods. Pockets everywhere, even on the lower leg/shin. Waist actually fits well along with length. They seem a tad baggy, but worth it. Great pants, should last the next few years.
Nice pants with a ton of pockets and features. I usually wear medium pants but had to get these in a small, so check your sizes as they are baggy. Insulation in knees and seat is great to have
These pants are sweet. They keep me warm and dry and have some nice pocket options.
My only complaint is that they seem baggy for me. I ordered a normal size and they seem big in the leg, long in the leg, and the waist seems flexy. i think its more where snowboarding is going than the pants themselves.
I would highly recommend them to anyone. the over all quality is freaking great

The results of the 2011 Census
can be found here. The 2013 Census was conducted at the end of 2013
and the results will be available shortly.
The Royal College of Psychiatrists' 2011 Census gives a snapshot
of psychiatric staffing as at 31 December 2011. 81% of NHS Trusts
responded to requests for information, an increase over the 73%
achieved by the 2009 survey. This increase probably reflects the
conduct of the census through the College Division Offices with
their closer links to organisations and professionals within their
geographic domain. Numbers of posts reported appears slightly
higher than in 2009 but this is proportionate to the better Trust
response rate – as in 2009 there is no evidence that there is an
absolute increase in number of posts.
In contrast to the impression on the ground however neither is
there clear evidence of a reduction in absolute numbers of posts.
For the first time the census attempted to quantify the workforce
not merely in numbers of individuals but also in their time
contribution. Trusts are reporting job plans of above 10PAs as very
much the exception – this almost certainly represents a hidden cut
in manpower.
As austerity bites the need for robust
guidance on safe and sustainable services, staffing and job plans
grows. Population norms may have become less meaningful as services
and providers have diversified and professional roles have evolved.
They were perhaps also less necessary in a time of expansion of
resource than in a time of shrinkage. The College has recently
begun to address this gap with publication of its paper 'Safe
Patients High Quality Services', which sets out exemplars of
consultant job plans in the context of differing patterns of
service delivery.
Finally I am grateful to the staff in the all
Division Offices for their relentless pursuit of Trusts, to Eva
Davison, College North West Division Manager, and Charlotte
Collins, College Workforce Manager, for their coordination of the
overall process, to Charlotte for her collation of the data and
production of this report. Thanks are also due to Medical
Directors and Human Resources Managers for the time they have given
to this task.

It was a place without a single feature of the space-time matrix that he knew. It was a place where nothing yet had happened - an utter emptiness. There was neither light nor dark: there was nothing here but emptiness. - Clifford Simak
According to this report, last week Google+ had more visits than Pinterest, Tagged, and LinkedIn, making it the 5th most popular social network in the US (behind Facebook, YouTube,Twitter, and Yahoo Answers). There are many reasons why Google created Google+ but a ton of ink has already been spilt on that question. What I want to deal with today is the single reason why Google+ has not and will not be a mainstream social network in the US. Before I delve into that reason I will discuss two things. First, social networks success is very binary in the US unless they are complimentary. Facebook and Twitter can coexist because they offer different benefits and serve different users. Facebook and Google+ are direct competitors and can't both be very popular. The reason for this is user fatigue. Users can only stay engaged in so many places. Second, I want to discuss how this is relevant to Talkwheel. Talkwheel, like Google+ (Note: Google+'s iPhone app is gorgeous and worth checking out) offers a tool that depends on many people using it for it to succeed. Social networks by nature are useless if only one person uses them (because who are you being social with?). This is the essence of why Google+ won't succeed, I call it the Empty Dance Floor problem .
There is an inherent catch-22 in social networks and dance floors (think of your fifth grade dances). No one will go on a dance floor (social network) unless another person is there and that other person won't be start dancing alone. Thus, like aspects of Game Theory you rely on cooperation. Ask anyone why they aren't on Google+ and they will tell you almost all the same thing, "none of my friends are on there". Individual people won't use Google+ unless other members of their group is there. Facebook overcame this problem by targeting already established social communities (universities) one by one. If it had tried to grab the US all at once, it wouldn't have succeeded. Google+ did not have a strategy for targeting individual pockets. It should have gone after Google Groups first, asking them and moving them to Google+ Circles. Then it should have gone and targeted the mass amounts of people in other Google products like Google Reader, etc. into circles. Instead Google+ targeted the web and shutdown those services without taking the targeted approach of already established communities. This is the solution to the empty dance floor problem.
Talkwheel also deals with this issue. In a group conversation platform, no one wants to make a comment if no one else has made one. How do we address this problem? We target talkative, already established communities and create conversations to partake in. By targeting these communities we ensure that we are placing our discussion platform among a group that has proven they already love talking to each other, we just help them communicate better. Unfortunately we can't always find that group, so to transition them smoothly onto Talkwheel, we create conversation topics that we personally have populated. For example, in an upcoming launch we will be pre-populating the conversation with groups about the 2012 election, football, and LA (the launch will be in Los Angeles). We make sure that someone never sees an empty dance floor.
We read blogs for two main reasons. First to be entertained, second to learn something that we can apply to our lives. As for entertainment, I can only begin to quote from Puck's speech in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream", "If we shadows have offended…". But how does the lesson of empty dance floor apply to your business? First, if you are running a business and want your Facebook page to be less empty, call in favors from friends and family to participate in the beginning. This will encourage your customers to join the conversation because they don't feel alone (read my previous blog post about what to do then). Second, in your everyday business, you already know that crowd mentality takes over. Part of the reason Starbuck's has such a nice layout with so many chairs is that they realize that if you walk by a Starbuck's and see it is crowded, you immediately want to join the crowd and get some coffee. I'm curious to hear in the comments from people who have built strong followings online or in business from the ground up and how they overcame this problem.

Totally agree with Step #2. It worked with a 23 year old on an 'ordinary bicycle', when we got to ride one at the Cyclocross Fest. I didn't realize I'd ridden solo until after I was out of the saddle.
All due respect to Morrissey, the last mile isn't the hardest mile. It's the one where you learn how to balance. It's all up and downhill but amazing from there.
Before we get to the actual steps, one caveat: One half of 18milesperhour believes that your kids will learn faster if someone else teaches them. When your kids are faced with potentially scraping knees, they know how to push Mum and Dad's buttons.
Step 1: Point the child up a gentle incline.
I know, it sounds counter-intuitive but it's a truth. Learning to ride is easier going uphill. We have no scientific proof, but Brian in his "Einstein Freudian Armchair" thinks it may have something to do with not feeling the bike run away with you. I think he may be right; In addition, you have to pedal uphill. And if you're pedaling, you're not thinking about balancing. Who knows? But it works. Try it.
Step 2: Hold the back of the saddle.
Don't hold the handlebars, you're not helping the child learn to balance. Don't hold their arm, you end up steering and throwing them off. Shoulders, no. One of those handles that bolts on to the seat post? Save your dough. Just hold on to the saddle, with decreasing amount of support. The wonderful thing about this is that you are behind the child. So when, ever so carefully and quietly, you feel they have found their balance, you let go, you stop and watch them go. But keep talking. They think you are still holding. It's clever, a little deceitful, but it works.
Step 3: If they don't ride in 15mins, call it a day and try again tomorrow.
Some get it, some don't. It's fine, it's cool. You may be all hopped up with a camera rolling…calm down. One day they'll get it. Tomorrow, maybe. Nobody ever looks at a cyclist and say's "you look as if you learned to ride when you were 3! You nailed it first time didn't you, look how smooth and balanced you are!" Pack it in, don't sweat it, be positive and come back later.
Step 4: Don't let Mom watch until the child can ride.
Another truth: Mothers are hard wired to protect their babies. Fellas, we are too, but that wiring gets crossed with other circuits programmed to push our kids to greater heights. Don't put their Mum through the pain of watching their little ones bounce and bump onto the asphalt. It'll just end in tears, mostly the mother's.
So there you go. Four steps, one very important and liberating skill.
It's a gift none of you will ever forget as long as you live.
Now on to the next ten thousand miles…

I felt really bad,but enrique really wanted me to give it a try. I would never love someone like i do seth,but at this moment seth was not my favorite person. I still loved him with my heart and soul,and my love will still always grow. I was just giving another guy a chance. Seth was looking at me and the pain in his expression antagonized me. Enrique put his arm around me and i tried to smile. I failed,miserably. The bell rang and enrique walked me to class. In advanced science,our seats were permanent,so i had to sit by seth. I felt horrible,because he asked me,"so youre really with him." "Y-y-yes,"i studdered. I saw his eyes water and he looked away from me. I couldnt help the tears that weld up in my eyes. I gathered my stuff and ran out of class. I cried in the locker rooms. the bell rang and i met enrique by the lunch lines. He put his arm around me and asked what was wrong. I told him it was nothing to worry about. I know its not fair to string enrique around,but he wanted it. Enrique and i sat at our normal table,but on the other end away from seth. I could feel seths eyes on me. Lara was sitting next to me. "Hey,lex,its okay,dont worry,just enjoy this thing with enrique because it wont last long,"lara whispered in my ear. i wasnt offended because i knew she was right. Id try to enjoy it. Enrique was taking me out tonight. Somewhere i had to be dressed up. After school,and after practice,we went home. I got ready for my date with enrique. I wore a blue mini dress with strappy silver stilletos. I straightened my hair and did my make-up. I felt horrible,but i was gonna try to hid it for the date. I walked out and couldnt stand the stares of the guys. I ran into the kitchen. Embry came in and asked,"whats wrong,baby girl." "Im such a horrible person,"i said quietly,but he heard. ,"why,baby girl,"embry asked me. "Im going on a date with this guy tonight,not seth,but i couldnt tell this guy no,"i said holding back tears. "Oh,lex,i know you love seth,but i know you also are hurt by him,"embry said. I smiled and hugged him. "Oh,baby girl,you sure you want to go dressed like that,"embry said in protective mode. I smiled and kissed his cheek. The doorbell rang and i said,"thats enrique." "Enrique,"embry questioned his name. "Be nice,"i smiled. I walked into the livingroom and the guys were 3rd degreein enrique. "Bye guys,"i said and grabbed my jacket. We left and enrique opened my door and i smiled and got in. "So where are we going,"i asked as we were driving. We pulled onto the beach and he said,"here." "Why am i dressed up if were on the beach,"i asked. "Come on,"he smiled and opened my door. He held my hand and we walked about half a mile till we got to a little creek. There was a table with candles and a dinner set up. I smiled and enrique pulled out my chair. I sat down and so did he. We ate and talked for about an hour. Then,enrique took me a little further to a mini waterfall with a blanket laid in the sand beside it. I sat down and so did he. "You look really preety,"enrique smiled. "Thanks,you dont look to bad yourself,"i said. He leaned in and i decided to go with it. We kissed. It turned passionate in about a minute. he was laying on me on the blanket. His hands were on my hips. I was to swept away in the kiss to notice his hands travel up to the zipper on my dress. He unzipped it and it was off. He took his shirt off too. "Stop,"i sais but enrique wouldnt quit. Instead,he kept going harder. He put his hands on my panty line. "Please,"i begged him. he unbottoned his pants. "Stop,"i said. he moved his hands to my bra. I punched him and got up. I grabbed my dress and started running. "Lexi,im sorry,"i heard enrique yell. I kept running till i got home. I ran inside and the guys eyes widened. "Lexi,what did he do,"jake growled. "I didnt let him,i punched him and ran off,'I said out of breathe. All of the guys ran out of the house and searched for enrique. Collin,brady,alex,and trishchen stayed. they were still staring. "What are you guys,"i said then looked down,"oh." I ran to the room.

With the weather getting nicer and more people out on the streets this weekend, the NYPD conducted a crack down on illegal and unlicensed bikers. However, legal motorcycle riders are hoping they're not stigmatized in the process.
There are many videos posted on line showing bikers in close calls with pedestrians and cars on crowded city streets. The NYPD wants it to stop and says special patrols in Harlem and Washington Heights this weekend resulted in 3 arrests and the confiscation of 8 dirt bikes and 4 wheelers called quads. Weary residents says it's time for the stunts to stop.
"I am very concerned because I cross the street with my son everyday and they never look," said one resident.
The NYPD does not pursue illegal bikers, because they say it's too dangerous. But they did chase one of the men on foot, cuffing him near West 138th street and Broadway.
Two of the men arrested are in their 20s; the third is a sanitation worker in his 40s.
Legal bikers like Jermaul Holloman of the Brooklyn Alliance of Abate, a biker education group, says not all bikers are outlaws.
"I think the crackdown might be needed for some," Holloman said. "But it's about not targeting everyone because not everyone is out there acting crazy driving in the street; most of them are law abiding citizens."
Some of those arrested in last fall's Range Rover road rage incident in Manhattan are still going through the court system. At the same time, the illegal bikes and quads are becoming more popular and the unlicensed riders bolder in taunting police. A police officer was seriously injured in Brooklyn recently when the ATV driver he stopped dragged him and ran over his leg in a wild getaway.
Police routinely confiscate illegal bikes, but it's clear this weekend they wanted to send a message at the start of a new season.

Gay rumors about James Franco have been swirling since the start of his career. But Franco apparently loves all that speculation. He recently posted a series of scandalous paparazzi –style photos of himself in armorous encounters with both genders. Just to keep the gossip cops guessing. Revenge is a dish best served up on Instagram.
George Takei may best be known as Sulu on Star Trek but his next mission: teaching luddites how to use those new-fangled gadgets. Takei hosts a new web series called "Takei's Take" which explains social media and new technology to the masses through YouTube. It's put together by the AARP. Any coincidence original Star Trek fans are now AARP eligible?
Kendall Jenner sent pervs into a panic mode when she posted a sexy bikini pic on Instagram. As any real Kendall Jenner fan knows, the 17 year old becomes legal in 45 days, 5 hours and 25 minutes. How do they know? There's a countdown clock. This begs the question; how long until Kendall starts dating a professional athlete, gets pregnant or stars in her own spinoff show? We suspect we can use the same clock.

For Pastor Jobs and Opportunities that are currently available, please select Available pastor job positions in menu above or click here.
I will now outline what are pastoral jobs and positions :
There are many pastor jobs available for people who are interested in this line of work. Becoming a pastor of a church is not the type of career that most people do not want to pursue. However, the pastorate is an excellent occupation for individuals who enjoy teaching religious doctrine and helping people to grow in their belief. Pastors are not just limited to churches they also work in the military, hospitals, prisons, missions and within educational settings.
The Calling to be a Pastor
Most pastors agree that they probably would not be involved within this line of work unless they received some type of calling from a higher power. This calling is typically given from a deity that is worshiped within their belief system. The word pastor is most often associated with leaders of a Christian church though some other religions or belief systems have pastors as well. Since pastor is associated with Christianity then most pastors honestly believe that they receive their calling to become a pastor directly or indirectly from God. In other words, this particular profession is extremely unique since it has a supernatural aspect that many people cannot understand unless they were called for this purpose.
Basic Steps to become a Pastor
After a person has realized that they are called to become a pastor the next step is to take on some type of practical education in order to gain the necessary training and knowledge for the job. There are different pathways that people can take in order to become a pastor. Most people who are called to lead churches will complete college coursework and then seminary training. People can actually become pastors after they finish college but seminary school gives them the extra knowledge and skills that they need for their career.
There are many pathways that a person can take in order to become a pastor. They can complete a two-year associate's degree or a four-year bachelor's degree to start their careers. Students can also work toward a six-year degree or acquire a PhD in seminary training. Most pastoral training is given through a qualified seminary institution or some type of school that provides this instruction.
There are at least five different types of schools that could prepare a person for their duties as a pastor and they include:
Theological Seminary is designed to educate students for leadership roles related to Christian ministry. This type of training is given to students in order to help them to understand theology, spiritual formation and to give them practical knowledge about ministering within a church. This type of schooling also involves upper graduate study and instruction.
Divinity schools are other options for would be pastors but they put their emphasis on the academic study of Christianity. Divinity schools are usually a division within a larger university.
Bible Institutes are designed to help people to gain a better knowledge of the Bible. Their focus is strictly on imparting biblical knowledge which can be used toward their ministry as a pastor.
Bible colleges offer bible based undergraduate education about the Old and New Testament. This information will not necessarily prepare a person for the duties of a pastor but it will help to strengthen the knowledge of their faith in practical ways.
Church-based seminary education is given by certain schools that might offer undergraduate and graduate degrees in vocational ministry.
Theological and seminary schools are the two primary ways that people train to become pastors. Many people complete a theology undergraduate degree before going on to finish their training in a seminary school.
Finding a Pastor Job
The vast majority of pastors are ordained to their positions and many are selected after they are finished with their training. The vast majority of ministers are selected for their posts while they are training. Many churches are connected to seminary or theology schools and they usually are given information about potential pastors from these organizations. Once they gain this information a pastor could be requested to pastor a church.
A lot of pastors will have to call around in order find out about pastoral jobs and they will have to receive recommendations from other pastors. Candidates will also have to complete an ordination request before they can find out if they have been accepted to become leader of a congregation. Pastors should also find out about the particular requirements of their ordination such as being able to perform weddings or the length of time that their ordination is valid. A seminary graduate could take an associate pastor job at a particular congregation and train to become a leading minister within a church at a future date.
Other Types of Pastor Jobs
Pastors work in a variety of settings of besides the church and here is a list of some of the other occupations where they can be found.
1) Educational settings are popular places for pastors. Many pastors are highly educated individuals who carry out their duties while working in some type of school or training institution. Private schools, religious schools and universities typically are typically staffed with pastors that teach and perform administrative duties at these institutions. Teaching pastor jobs are usually available at these institutions.
2) Pastors also perform their duties on mission fields. Many pastors travel all over the world to different locations to help foreigners and to serve the governing church bodies with whom they are affiliated.
3) The military is another place where pastors serve. Many armed forces have pastors which help soldiers with adjusting to military life and helping them to solve many of the issues that affect them as human beings.
4) Hospital pastors help patients and their families to grieve when they encounter death. It is a known fact that most people will die in hospital and pastors help to make this transition from life to death as smooth as possible.
5) Prisons are not easy or fun places to exist and having a good pastor within a correctional facility could make all the difference in the lives of the inmates and the guards. Pastors also carry out their ministries inside of county jails and other lock-up institutions.
6) Senior pastor jobs are given to individuals who run a church. In some congregations the senior pastor position has the sole responsibility of tending to a congregation's spiritual needs while associate pastors preach sermons.
Salaries and Benefits
A pastor's salary is often considered a very controversial subject. Many pastors believe that they should be compensated for their work with a decent paycheck that allows them to provide for their families. Some pastors believe that they should minister to their congregations while working a secular job. Most churches have rules and regulations for how they will compensate a pastor for their work. Since pasturing is considered a full time occupation quite a few church leaders are not able to work another job.
The average pastor makes around $46,000 a year and this will vary by the size of a congregation and the type of denomination in which a pastor serves. Pastors are also given benefits such as health insurance, vacation days and retirement plans. They are also usually compensated when they perform church related duties. Once again, each church and denomination is not the same and pastors will be paid with different rates and perks. There are literally thousands of churches spread out all over the nation and many of them offer pastor jobs for people who want to make a career out serving others while teaching religious doctrine.

ZURICH (AP) -- FIFA has warned Kenya it could lose points in its 2014 World Cup qualifying group because of a safety lapse at its national stadium.
Fans were reported to have surged for shelter in a covered grandstand when rain fell before a qualifier against Seychelles at Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi last November.
Soccer's governing body says its disciplinary committee ruled that Football Kenya Federation "failed to take all the necessary safety precautions" and was liable for "improper conduct among spectators."
FIFA fined the federation $13,170 and warned that future sanctions could include a points deduction.
Kenya begins play in its African second-round qualifying group on June 1 at home to Malawi. The group includes Nigeria and Namibia.

The practice of "streaming" children by ability in the early years of primary school is widening the achievement gap between children from better-off homes and those facing disadvantage, according to findings from the Millennium Cohort Study.
There is no evidence that government investment in particular school structures or types – for example, academies, free schools or faith schools – has been effective in improving the performance of pupils from poor backgrounds, according to a review published today by the Institute of Education (IOE).
Living in a good neighbourhood, having lots of friends and getting on well with brothers and sisters are more important to children's happiness than growing up in a two-parent home, according to findings from the Millennium Cohort Study.
The practice of "streaming" children by ability in the early years of primary school is widening the achievement gap between children from better-off homes and those facing disadvantage, according to findings from the Millennium Cohort Study.
New data have been released from the 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70) and the 1958 National Child Development Study (NCDS).
Primary school pupils with special educational needs are twice as likely as other children to suffer from persistent bullying, according to new research published by the Institute of Education (IOE), University of London.
Current coalition government policies that are designed to improve adults' literacy and numeracy skills are overly focused on the world of work, according to two leading researchers in this field.
The CLS Dissertation prize for 2013 was awarded jointly to Ye Kuang and to Caoimhe Doyle for their outstanding research using the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS).
Adults who were bullied as children are more likely to experience mental health problems than those who were never bullied, according to new research based on the 1958 National Child Development Study.
More than 9,100 members of the 1958 National Child Development Study (NCDS) took part in the age 55 survey which ran between September 2013 and March 2014.
Older people's quality of life begins to drop rapidly in their seventies – and yet most will say they are satisfied with their lives, according to a new study of ageing.
This seminar will look at the effect of caring responsibilities on health, lifestyle and employment. It is hosted by CLS in collaboration with Age UK.
EDDI14 is organised jointly by the IOE - Institute of Education, University of London, GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences, and IDSC of IZA - International Data Service Center of the Institute for the Study of Labour.

You all have heard about it. That stretch of road that runs between Duke, Chapel Hill, and [my beloved] North Carolina State University. That great Tobacco Road signals which color is acceptable to wear to a Saturday kickoff in September, who you pledge your allegiance to during March Madness, and- in some cases- can divide a house, family, and marriage if only for a few hours during a full court press.
I bleed red. I always will. But as a die-hard sports fanatic, I also know that a good great coach makes a team. He molds and shapes the youth, the spectators, and ultimately the sport with every passionate play calls and triumphant fist pump. Dean Smith was all of that to college basketball- and yet so much more.
Smith has helped integrate and has helped innovate.
When faced with ignominious treatment, such as his ejection in the 1991 Final Four, he would not be denied the chance to show respect to others — shaking the hands of his victorious opponents as he excitedly did on the court in dignity.
Life is such a fleeting thing. The joy and happiness, as well as sorrow and sadness, are simply brief moments within a brief moment.
Let's remember that. Through our team allegiance, our bitter disappointments [on the court and off], and our losing seasons- that in the midst of all of this is life. And if you're as lucky as Coach Smith- a beautiful one at that.

Girl Scout teaches art history, earns Gold Award
HOUSTON (June 2010) – Girl Scout Senior Emily R. taught art history to underprivileged children to earn the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can achieve. Less than five percent of girls who join Girl Scouts earn this recognition.
"I learned how much fun education and community service are," says Emily, a recent graduate of the Kinkaid School.
Earning the Gold Award is a significant honor that requires recipients to demonstrate outstanding leadership skills, career planning, community involvement and personal development. It takes more than 100 service hours and two to three years of intensive work to complete the award requirements, which include planning and completing a project that is a service to the community.
"I chose this project because I wanted to share my love of art with others," explains Emily.
Emily led 10 volunteers in teaching art history to children at the Rutabaga Program. She was able to bring in outside teachers as well as create her how curriculum. Emily and her volunteers taught the students about surrealism, print-making and pointillism. At the end of the classes, Emily created a group project where parents came in to watch the children create a large-scale piece of artwork. She also arranged for the student's work to be put on display for one month at Watercolor Arts Society-Houston.
As a Girl Scout, Emily also received the Silver Award. At The Kinkaid School she was involved with visual arts and received several awards for her work. This fall she will attend Wesleyan University to study visual arts and film studies.
Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.7 million girls and adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is one of the largest Girl Scout councils in the country serving more than 72,000 girl members and 18,000 adults in 26 southeast Texas counties.

Get on-the-go access to the latest insights featured on our Trustworthy Computing blogs.
The last time I wrote about the threat landscape in the Republic of Korea, its malware infection rate had increased six-fold in the first six months of 2012. Korea has had one of the most active threat landscapes in the world for many years. According to the latest data published in the Microsoft Security Intelligence Report Volume 14, the last half of 2012 was no different. Figure 1 provides the raw number of systems that were disinfected in Korea and other relatively active locations in each of the four quarters of 2012.
Figure 1: Trends for the top five locations with the most computers reporting detections and removals by Microsoft desktop antimalware products in 2H12
As Figure 2 illustrates, the number of systems disinfected of malware in Korea for every 1,000 systems scanned by the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) went down from 70.4 in the second quarter of 2012 (2Q12) to 27.5 in the third quarter (3Q12), then up to 93.0 in the fourth quarter (4Q12). During this time, Korea's malware infection rate has trended between 5 and 15.5 times higher than the worldwide average. Korea had the highest malware infection rate in the world in 4Q12 with a Computers Cleaned Per Mille (CCM) measure of 93.0; this is the highest malware infection rate ever published in the Microsoft Security Intelligence Report.
As seen in Figure 3, Korea's malware infection rate is significantly higher than any other location in Asia. For example, while Korea's malware infection rate has been one of the highest in the world for some time, Japan's infection rate has been one of the lowest – I have written about this interesting contrast before. I included Pakistan in Figure 3 as it had the highest malware infection rate in the world in 3Q12 at 30.6, when Korea's infection rate dropped to 27.5. Pakistan ranked second place in 4Q12 with a CCM of 26.8 when Korea's infection rate increased to 93.0. In 4Q12 Korea's infection rate was 3.5 times higher than Pakistan's.
Figure 2 (left): CCM infection trends in Korea and worldwide from third quarter of 2011 (3Q11) to the fourth quarter of 2012 (4Q12); Figure 3 (right): CCM infection trends in Korea and select locations in Asia, including Pakistan from third quarter of 2011 (3Q11) to the fourth quarter of 2012 (4Q12)
The good news for Korea is that there really are just two families of malware that are responsible for this very high malware infection rate. As seen in Figure 4, Miscellaneous Trojans are found on over 70 percent of systems in Korea that are infected with malware.
Figure 4 (left): Malware and potentially unwanted software categories in Korea in 4Q12, by percentage of computers reporting detections; Figure 5 (right): The top 10 malware and potentially unwanted software families in Korea in 4Q12
As seen in Figure 5, one Miscellaneous Trojan family called Win32/Onescan is the malware primary responsible for the consistently high malware infection rate in Korea. It was found on 70.6% of systems that were infected with malware in Korea in 4Q12. Some other names that various anti-virus vendors call this same threat include Siren114, EnPrivacy, PC Trouble, and My Vaccine, among others. Win32/Onescan is a family of rogue scanner programs that claim to scan for malware but display fake warnings of malicious files. The rogue security software then informs the user that payment is needed to register the software and remove these non-existent threats. This threat is distributed via Korean websites - an example of such a website can be seen in Figure 6. The good news for users of Internet Explorer 8 and newer versions is that the download is blocked by the SmartScreen Filter that is enabled by default. Win32/OneScan is branded and distributed using over 125 different names including the following examples, to avoid detection: alphavaccine, anycop, bestvaccine, bizvaccine, Bootcare, checkvaccine, cleanvaccine, coolspeed, defencevacci, directvaccine, diskvaccine , doublevaccine, DoubleVaccine, easyboan, easyvaccine, EnPrivacy, everyclean, everyguard, EveryGuard, fastcure, InfoDoctor, internetspeed, mastervaccine, MyKeeper, mypcclean, One Scan, onescan, PCTrouble, proguard, realsecurity, SmartVaccine, speedsolution, UtilKorea, windowcure, windowguard, windowvaccine , WindowVaccine, among others.
Figure 6 (left): Download sites for Win32/OneScan may appear similar to this example; Figure 7 (right): Branding known to be used by Win32/OneScan
The other threat family that has been contributing to Korea's extreme malware infection rate is Win32/Pluzoks. Win32/Pluzoks is a Trojan Downloader/Dropper. I consider this category of threats to be among the most severe because once a system has been compromised, these threats typically give attackers control of the system, which can enable them to enlist the compromised system into botnets. Win32/Pluzoks is a Trojan that silently downloads and installs other arbitrary files without user consent and is typically installed by other malware. Win32/Pluzoks may contact a remote host to download updates of the Trojan. As seen in Figure 5 Win32/Pluzoks was found on 6.4% of systems that were infected with malware in Korea in 4Q12.
Typically I find that locations that have high malware infection rates also have elevated levels of malicious websites. Attackers often use compromised systems to host malicious websites. From the data in Figure 8, it appears that in 4Q12, malware hosting sites in Korea were well above the worldwide average and the highest among most locations in Asia, including Pakistan. But the level of malware hosting sites in Korea was not the highest in the world in 4Q12; locations like Brazil (31.97), Ukraine (26.78), Vietnam (25.11), and others had significantly higher levels compared to Korea.
Figure 8: Malicious websites statistics for select locations in the fourth quarter of 2012
Call to Action for Korea:

There are almost 3 times as many male prostitutes than female ones in Sweden!
Scientists are a little taken aback by their recent finding of Swedish sex workers.
The Swedish National Board for Youth Affairs published a study yesterday that found that 2.1% of Swedish males aged 16 to 25 had prostituted themselves in 2012. This is compared to 0.8 percent of women.
The scientists cannot figure out why guys outnumber girls. One possible theory is that most of the males are young gay men who have an easier time accepting their sexuality if they do it in exchange for something.
Even more interesting is that 21.9% of those interviewed thought it was acceptable for people to be paid for sex.
And before you think that it's older people who are giving these young'uns their business, it seems that about half of the clients for those under 26 were also themselves under 26.

West Point, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Jeff Monken has been named Army's new head football coach.
Monken replaces Rich Ellerson, who was fired last week after his fifth straight loss to Navy.
"We were fortunate to have an excellent pool of candidates to consider," Army's Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Boo Corrigan said. "We were very impressed with each of the individuals we interviewed. There was tremendous interest in the position nationally and we felt there were several very qualified candidates, but throughout the process Jeff separated himself from the others. His passion, energy and strong experience in turning around a program immediately helped him rise to the top of our list."
Monken spent the last four seasons as head coach at Georgia Southern, where he posted a 38-16 mark and helped guide the program's transition to the elite Football Bowl Subdivision level from the Football Championship Subdivision ranks.
Georgia Southern, which will join the Sun Belt Conference next year, was a member of the FCS and qualified for the NCAA playoffs in all three eligible seasons under Monken, advancing to the national semifinals each year while posting double-digit victory totals.
"I am thrilled to accept the head coaching position at West Point," Monken said. "Not only is the United States Military Academy one of the most prestigious academic institutions in the world, it boasts one of the nation's richest, most historic traditions in all of college football. I am anxious to get started...meet our players, put our coaching staff in place, and begin preparations for the 2014 football season."
Army went 20-41 with Ellerson at the helm, including a 3-9 record this past season.

New Release of MINIX 3 For x86 and ARM Is NetBSD Compatible 93
Posted by timothy
from the big-and-fancy dept.
from the big-and-fancy dept.
An anonymous reader writes MINIX 3 is a small POSIX-compliant operating system aimed at high reliability (embedded) applications. A major new version of MINIX 3 (3.3.0) is now available for download at www.minix3.org. In addition to the x86, the ARM Cortex A8 is now supported, with ports to the BeagleBoard and BeagleBones available. Finally, the entire userland has been redone in 3.3.0 to make it NetBSD compatible, with thousands of NetBSD packages available out of the box. MINIX 3 is based on a tiny (13 KLoC) microkernel with the operating system running as a set of protected user-mode processes. Each device driver is also a separate process. If a driver fails, it is automatically and transparently restarted without rebooting and without applications even noticing, making the system self-healing. The full announcement, with links to the release notes and notes on installation, can be found at the Minix Google Groups page.
