Futures jump on dovish Bernanke
US markets are set to rally at the open after the Fed chairman said the central bank doesn't expect to raise rates any time soon.
U.S. equity futures rose sharply after a speech from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke late Wednesday was much more dovish than expected. The Bernanke's comments indicate the Fed is not looking to end its easy money policies any time soon.
Bernanke said in the Q&A after his speech that the still weak employment and low inflation are arguments for more easing. Further, he said that interest rate hikes are no where near the horizon even if the tapering of purchases were to begin soon. However, he closed with slightly hawkish statements, saying that inflation is low due to transitory factors and should moderate back towards the medium-term target.
The Bank of Japan raised its forecast for the Japanese economy overnight, citing a moderate recovery and inflation that is likely to turn positive. The BOJ raised its 2013 Real GDP growth forecast to 2.5%-3.0% from 2.4%-3.0% in April and raised the median CPI forecast to a gain of 0.7% from 0.6%.
Australia's employment report once again showed strength in June as the Australian economy added 10,300 jobs vs. an expected flat reading, and the unemployment rate ticked up unexpectedly to 5.7% from 5.6% due to an increase in the labor force. Part-time jobs drove gains in June, a similar theme to the U.S. in June.
The Shanghai Composite Index closed 3.2% higher, its best gain of 2013, building on the more than 2% gain from Wednesday. The Financial Times is attributing the strength in Chinese markets to a speech by Premier Li Keqiang, which suggested the government will focus on restructuring the economy and on reforms.
S&P 500 futures rose 16.5 points to 1,665.10.
The EUR/USD was higher at 1.3041, well off the post-Bernanke highs near 1.32.
Spanish 10-year government bond yields fell 8 basis points to 4.73% as Prime Minister Rajoy is set to roll out new taxes, according to Bloomberg.
Italian 10-year government bond yields fell 8 basis points to 4.37%.
Gold gained 3.05% to $1,285.50 per ounce.
Asian markets
Asian shares were mostly higher following the dovish comments from Bernanke and the comments from Chinese Premier Li. The Japanese Nikkei 225 Index rose 0.39% and the Topix Index fell 0.04%. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index rose 2.55% and the Shanghai Composite Index rose 3.23% in China. Also, the Korean Kospi gained 2.93% and Australian shares rose 1.31%.
European markets
European shares were also higher overnight on the back of the bullish sentiment from around the world. The Spanish Ibex Index rose 0.11% and the Italian FTSE MIB Index gained 0.58%. Meanwhile, the German DAX rose 1.03% and the French CAC 40 Index gained 0.72% while U.K. shares rose 0.77%.
Commodities were mostly higher, especially metals, after Bernanke talked down the dollar. WTI crude futures rose 0.17% to $106.70 per barrel and Brent crude futures gained 0.04% to $108.55 per barrel. Copper futures rose 3.12% to $318.75 per pound. Gold was higher and silver futures gained 4.41% to $20.01 per ounce.
Currency markets showed broad dollar weakness overnight however moves in most major dollar pairs were off of extreme levels. The EUR/USD was higher at 1.3041 after touching nearly 1.32 and the dollar fell against the yen to 99.39 after falling as far as 98.60. Overall, the Dollar Index fell 1.13% on weakness against the Swiss franc, the Canadian dollar, the pound, the euro, and the yen.

Sylvania Township Police arrested a woman they say robbed the Wood Forest Bank inside the Walmart on Central Avenue.
Police say Diona Ellis robbed the bank around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. Police say no weapon was shown during the robbery.
Around 7 p.m., police stopped eastbound traffic at Dorr and Byrne to investigate cars. Shortly after 8 p.m., they arrested the Ellis, whose car had broken down near Dorr and Byrne.
Another woman was in the car with Ellis, but police don't believe she knew anything about the robbery. Two children were also in the car, one of them an infant.
There was no weapon found, and all the money was recovered.
Ellis is being held on $100,000 bond and is due back in court on July 16.

Ecuador's national team were left baffled before their World Cup qualifying encounter against CONMEBOL foe Venezuela earlier this week.
The Ecuadorian squad, led by Manchester United midfielder Antonio Valencia, were shocked when Mexico's national anthem echoed through Estadio Jose Antonio Anzoategui. Several players were confused, while others giggled at the obvious gaffe.
Talk about a slap to the face. This deserves a big, nice FAIL!

text: Appendix G: About the HRO Network Becoming a High Reliability Organization: Operational Advice for Hospital Leaders Select for print version PDF version - 45.68 KB .In March 2005, AHRQ authorized the formation and support for a learning network that would focus on applications of high reliability organizing in health care. Participants would be organizational leaders from health care systems attempting to make these applications who wanted to learn from each other and from the emerging research in this area sponsored by AHRQ and others. From that point until spring 2007, AHRQ sponsored a range of activities designed to support this initiative. These activities included:A kickoff meeting in Chicago that discussed the goals and potential activities of the Network.A site visit to Sentara Healthcare.A site visit to Exempla.A site visit to Cincinnati Children's Hospital.A site visit to Allina/Fairview.A Web event focused on setting priorities for improvement initiatives.A Web event focused on engaging physicians in improvement initiatives.AHRQ and its contractors would organize and facilitate the events; network members would cover the time and costs required to attend. These activities were somewhat different from other projects sponsored by AHRQ. Members helped to choose the events and facilitated each event. The events tried to avoid extended presentations in favor of a much more interactive format where participants could ask questions about the things that mattered most to them.Twenty systems ultimately participated in the Network. Most systems had multiple participants, all of whom shared an interest in the application of high reliability theory to their organization. One goal of the Network from its outset was to share both what has been learned and what has been achieved by the systems working to apply these concepts. This manual brings together many of those insights but cannot hope to capture the remarkable passion and perspectives of the Network members.Allina Hospitals & ClinicsAscension HealthBaylor Health Care SystemBrigham and Women's/Faulkner HospitalChristiana Care Health SystemCincinnati Children's HospitalExempla HealthcareFairview Health ServicesJohns Hopkins MedicineKaiser Permanente–CaliforniaLahey ClinicNew York-Presbyterian Healthcare Network & SystemOSF Healthcare SystemSentara HealthcareSSM Health CareTrinity HealthUniversity of California, San Francisco Medical CenterUniversity of Mississippi Medical CenterUniversity of Rochester Medical Center-Strong HealthWishard Health Services Current as of April 2008 Internet Citation: Appendix G: About the HRO Network: Becoming a High Reliability Organization: Operational Advice for Hospital Leaders.

Well, glyph of slow fall is cheap and easily fits in with other minor glyphs since none of them are game changing anyways. However, even with this, you do realize that this is part of being a mage, right? If you wanted a pure dpser that didn't have a vendor/taxi role, then something more like a rogue probably would have been a better choice. Conjured food/water and portals are pretty much a staple of the class. If this really bothers you that much, then maybe you should re-evaluate your class selection.

Online Search and Buying Behaviour: Malaysian Experience
This study examines online search pattern and buying behaviour in Malaysia. Malaysian consumers search moderately for product/service information with company websites being the most popular mode of searching. Books, airline tickets, and hotel room booking are the products and services commonly purchased to satisfy self-fulfillment and affiliation needs. Respondents who have online purchase experiences have a higher intention to make online purchase in the future. There is no gender difference in terms of the frequency of online search and purchase as well as the type of consumer needs being satisfied over the Internet. Implications of the research findings and suggestions for future research are discussed. Keywords: online search behaviour; online purchase; online ads; Malaysia

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Governor Scott Walker said Wednesday that both parties are to blame for the federal government shutdown -- and Washington should run itself like Wisconsin does.
During a news conference at World Dairy Expo in Madison, Walker hailed his fellow Republicans for eliminating a $3.6 billion deficit two years ago.
He said he meets every Wednesday with legislative leaders about the state's problems, and how to solve them. That's been easier in Wisconsin the last 5 years, since one party has controlled the governor's office and both houses of the Legislature -- the Democrats in 2009, and Republicans since 2011.
The opposing party complains that it gets almost no input on the major issues.
In Washington, Democrats control the White House and the Senate while the GOP has a large majority in the House -- and each party ends up approving its own version of major items, lately with little compromise.

Someone encountering the Internet for the first time might be forgiven for assuming it was created specifically for teenagers. Indeed, the Internet could reasonably be said to have been aging backwards since its birth – the domain first of scientists and the military, then of university students in the 1990s and now children and teenagers.
Gambling is an issue that parents rarely talk about with their children, but easy access to online gambling sites has made this a pressing issue that needs to be addressed with young people. In this section, we offer parents and teachers resources for discussing this topic with children and youth.
Approximately four to six per cent of Canadian high school students are addicted to gambling and another 10 to 14 per cent is at risk of developing an addiction -- which means that they already show signs of losing control over their gambling behaviour. [1]
Young people are increasingly turning to Internet gambling, which is anonymous and convenient. A study of Montreal, Quebec high school students showed that nine per cent have gambled for money on the Internet. [2]
Level: Grades 9 to 10
About the Author: Matthew Johnson, Director of Education, MediaSmarts
Duration: 2 hours
This two-day lesson looks at the increasing prominence of gambling in the media, particularly movies and television. Students are asked to look critically at how gambling is portrayed, in comparison to its reality, and to consider how that portrayal affects how people perceive the risks and rewards of gambling.
Learning Outcomes
This tutorial aims to teach students essential digital literacy skills through simulating their favourite online experiences. The tutorial is divided into four chapters, each of which focuses on a particular aspect of digital literacy: researching and authenticating online information, managing privacy and reputation, dealing with online relationships and using digital media in an ethical manner.
Level: Grades 11 to 12
About the Author: Matthew Johnson, Director of Education, MediaSmarts
Duration: 2 hours
This lesson looks at the ways in which online gambling draws in youth and increases the risk that they will become problem gamblers. Students learn about behaviour modification theory and apply that knowledge to understanding why gambling, and online gambling in particular, is likely to lead to problem gambling in youth.
Learning Outcomes
Online games of chance may seem innocuous, but the Internet gambling industry is growing exponentially with more jurisdictions coming onboard – including several Canadian provinces. It's a good idea to start conversations about online gaming with young people at an early age.
For parents of teens and tweens, the Internet can sometimes seem like nothing more than an ever-expanding list of websites to keep up on: Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Snapchat and so on, with new ones appearing every few months.

MEDFORD, WI (WSAU) - Two counties and state investigators are examining human remains that were found in Taylor County. County Highway C remains closed for the investigation between Highway M and Faber Lane northeast of Medford. The body was discovered by a couple that was out for a walk Friday morning. The man saw something in the ditch Thursday night, but wasn't sure what it was at first.
Taylor County, Lincoln County, Wisconsin Department of Criminal Investigations, and the State Crime Lab are processing the scene.
Authorities have not said if they remains are male or female, or if they know the person's identity. There has been speculation this could be 48-year-old Anita Bucki, who has been missing since April 26th. Deputies have not said anything to confirm or deny that.

How does your book relate to the "Mormon moment" and Mitt Romney's campaign?
Romney is sort of the walking embodiment of Mormon confidence. He has faith in his own leadership abilities, faith that the right committee can address most issues, faith that problems are basically solvable. His particular optimism, competence, and slight awkwardness all strike me as distinctly derived from Mormonism's progressive heritage: It makes him both slightly out of place in contemporary American politics, but at the same time virtually the model of your average Mormon stake president.

His Mormon moment, though, is hardly the first; every decade or two, it seems, Americans ponder letting Mormons become mainstream, and they usually decide in the negative.
Do you think Mormonism will ever enter the mainstream? If so, why and when?
What it will take for Mormons to become mainstream is, simply, the church increasing tenfold. Much of the suspicion derives from how small, and therefore insular, the church appears. So many of these things were said about Catholics 100 years ago.
Catholics had to obey the pope, had "weird" rituals, wore "strange clothing" and did odd things like Lent and all this other stuff. So many similar accusations are now being made against Mormons.
Then, between 1890 and 1960, Catholics became 25 percent of the American population. That mainlined them better than anything that the Catholics themselves could do.
What do you hope non-Mormons will learn about the faith from reading your book?
I'd like non-Mormons to come away with a couple of things: first, a sense that Mormonism is in fact a very diverse movement, one with a lot of different flavors, tendencies and blends — as much as any other religion. And secondly, I'd like them to realize that Mormons themselves today wrestle with a lot of things other Americans find odd about the faith: Mormons are deeply aware of their own oddness, but also deeply confident that their oddness should not preclude them from full participation in American life.
What do Mormons think is odd about their faith?
Mormons are distinctly aware of their own status as what they call a "peculiar people," a faith with a particular mandate from heaven, particular obligations to the divine that set them apart from the world. They often perceive the world to be a place of challenge and threats, a place like St. Augustine's City of Man, where the faithful are merely visitors. And yet at the same time they believe their faith makes their lives in that world far better, far more productive, far happier. They both fit and do not fit in the world.
Do younger Latter-day Saints experience Mormonism differently from their parents?
Mormonism, like any other institution on Earth, is always evolving, always changing. [Former] President Gordon B. Hinckley brought to the front of Mormon life a new openness, a new friendliness toward the world, a new confidence that Mormonism had little to fear in engagement with American culture and life. This has marked the faith deeply in the past two decades.

Use Essential Amino Energy Anytime For:
About Optimum NutritionOptimum Nutrition, Inc. (ON) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Glanbia, a leading international cheese and nutritional ingredients group. ON owns and operates two brands of nutritional supplements (Optimum Nutrition and American Body Building) providing a comprehensive line of products across multiple categories. With state-of-the-art production facilities occupying over 500,000 square feet of operating space, ON is the only sports nutrition company to manufacture items in every product category. Whether it's nutritional bars, protein powders, ready-to-drink sports beverages, or vitamins, essential minerals, and herbs, Optimum Nutrition is able to control the integrity of all products through in-house manufacturing. Supported by Costello's Health Distributors (Optimum Nutrition's sister distribution company) and ABB's nationwide direct service distribution network, customers are ensured prompt delivery and unmatched customer support.
Collectively, Optimum Nutrition, American Body Building, and Costello's Health Distributors, are the dominant force in the sports nutrition industry with the highest quality products available in health food stores, specialty stores, gyms and progressive retailers everywhere. HistoryOptimum Nutrition was founded in 1986 by brothers Tony and Michael Costello. Originally known as Costello's Health Distributors, the entrepreneurial brothers soon recognized an opportunity in the need for significantly improved quality and innovative vision in the sports nutrition industry. The Optimum Nutrition brand was launched to satisfy both demands, and after 22 years of success reflected in great part by the ongoing best-selling status of ON Gold Standard 100% Whey, the Costello's entered into agreement to sell the company to the international cheese and nutritional ingredients group Glanbia.
Optimum Nutrition Mission StatementOptimum Nutrition strives to produce distinctive, affordable, premium-quality products while making every effort to anticipate ever-changing customer needs and meet the demands of a dynamic market with innovative products, effective support materials, and unsurpassed service.
AffordabilityAs an advocate of healthy lifestyles, ON believes that every consumer should be able to purchase premium products; so they eliminate the middlemen and control the integrity of their brand throughout the entire production and distribution processes, making sure each product is not just top quality, but also among the most competitively priced in the industry.
Quality CountsOptimum Nutrition's commitment to quality is evident throughout the entire product development process. Before a single machine is turned on they carefully select vendors who supply premium raw materials. All vendors must provide a Certificate of Analysis for each raw material as a continued measure of quality. These certificates are then verified through random in-house and independent laboratory testing. Highly sophisticated equipment confirms the purity and potency of every ingredient on their labels. To further diminish any chance of physical, chemical, and microbiological contaminants, they have established and implemented their own Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) program. Quality assurance professionals make routine checks on all storage, blending, and production areas and conduct final inspections daily. Together, these procedures allow Optimum Nutrition to constantly deliver first-rate sports nutrition supplements under the strictest quality control standards known as current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs).
Customer SatisfactionFrom the beginning, Optimum Nutrition's customers have been their number one priority. While strict quality control, lab testing, and manufacturing under tightly controlled conditions are all very important, they are all done for one reason – to bring you high quality, affordable supplements. They pride themselves on customer loyalty and are pleased to report that nearly all of their first-time customers become devoted patrons. You can be confident that from the moment a product is conceived to the moment it leaves their facility they put only the best into Optimum Nutrition so you only put the best into your body.

September 15 1963: on this day the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing: Four children killed at an African-American church in Birmingham, Alabama
Spike Lee created a wonderful, Academy award nominated film, 4 Little Girls,which is full and free to watch online.
It's a historical documentary about their murders and includes archival footage and photos, but what I found to be most compelling is the interviews with the girls' parents and loved ones. IT'S A FRESH WOUND.
And you don't even want to know when the perpetrators were brought to justice… Here's a hint, one of them died an old man before he was convicted!!

ARDMORE, OK--Hunger is a rising problem across the country and in Texoma.
According to a new study, thousands of people in Carter County don't know
where their next meal will come from.
Julia Lavers said she felt all alone when she hit rock bottom a few years ago.
Her husband passed away in 2002 and then the unexpected happened when her son
passed away in 2009.
Lavers said she found herself without a family and soon after she found
herself homeless after a tornado passed through lone grove in 2009.
"It is a new beginning, a new beginning in life when the old is perished
and they help you get back on your feet," said Lavers. "I am grateful and
I am thankful that there is a place like the Salvation Army that extends their
heart to those who don't have and have no way of getting it," said Lavers.
However, Lavers said she wasn't the only one experiencing hunger and homelessness.
According to a study by the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, thousands of Carter
County residents may not know where their next meal will come from.
"We have seen more people this year than we did last year; it's a greater
number on both ends. We see more people coming in for food baskets and more people
staying in our facilities," said Salvation Army Commanding Officer Jeff Daniels.
Daniels said the number of people in need has increased since last year.
He said they try and help everyone that walks through their door and that they
encourage anyone who needs them to use the resources that are available.
"What we try to do is to encourage people to not just sign up for
assistance but to take the steps necessary to take responsibility for their
situation and improve it," said Daniles.
Something lavers said she's already done.
"In return I have done my best to work here and needs to be done as if it
were my own personal home," Said Lavers.
The Salvation Army gives out free food every day of the week around lunch
time and in the evenings.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This is the best elementary school ever! I went here for seven years and loved every year. I learned so much and it has helped me quite a bit because right now I am in middle school. All of the teachers make learning so fun! I have also been in SACC (School Aged Child Care) for seven years and it was wonderful. I loved the variety of activities and the fact that they have a designated portion od the day for homework and snacks.
Fairhill ES has got to be one of the best schools in the country. Here's why. The principal and vice principal are intimately involved in al the student body activities. These include greeting children every day, at lunchtime and at all extracurricular activities. The culture of respect is very strong and the teachers are extraordinarily patient, understanding and helpful. The special education staff functions very effectively as a team to successfully connect with special children and tailor effective programs for their development. The fitness, music and art programs are motivating and fun. The PTA is strong and well supported, several events held annually have become popular local traditions. The School Aged Child Care at Fairhill, outside of regular school hours, excels ate prompting students homework, crafts, performing arts and cheer leading. Our family is extremely pleased with this great school.
I can't say enough good things about Fairhill! All teachers I've met in our 4 years there have been committed and foster a genuine culture of respect. Principal is friendly and accessible, she greets the kids personally most every day! I love that. We are in the AA track now, and that is going really well, all three specialty teachers that have been hired are getting great reviews. THe staff do a number of activities with the kids outside school as well. Evening events are always well attended, and my DD loves seeing her teachers there as well.
The faculty really go out of their way to make this a tremendous schhol. They volunteer their time and energy for extracurricular activities such as fitness classes before school, and track practice after school. My children have thrived here!
Fairhill introduced GT Center Level IV Advanced Curriculum in 2007. My older son has participated in the program and have been amazed at the quality of teaching and curriculum. In 1st and 2nd grade, he also got to participate in GT enrichment courses that were excellent. The GT Specialist Ashley Hickcox is amazingly committed to the kids and she is a wonderful teacher. Aside from the GT curriculum, Fairhill is an excellent environment that does not tolerate bullying and reinforces diversity and tolerance.
Fairhill Elementary School teaches our children not only academics but genuine manners and responsibility for self, community and our world.
Fairhill Elementary school has high expectations for our children. They know that they are going to school to learn about becoming great global citizens, as well as high achievers in academics. Fairhill teachers our children respect for self, others, and property. They love going to school each day and are constantly recognized for the positive way they behave!
This school has a small school feel and intimacy. The principal knows a lot of children by name. This is a very caring environment! Also we have been very impressed about the teaching quality.
We loved our son's kindergarten teacher. And first grade is off to a successful start!
This is a great school. My daughter goes to this school and we are very happy. The teachers are wonderful .
We shopped around quite a bit and settled within the Fairhill boundaries because of how much we liked the school. The staff is well qualified; not just the teachers but also the assistants and office support. My children and I love the cultural diversity as well as the way special needs students are integrated with general education kids. A great way to teach tolerance and adaptability. A very welcoming community!
This is my son's second year at Fairhill (he is is first grade). So far I have been very happy with the school, teacher and principle. I like the fact that is a smaller school and I love the diversity of the students. I also really like the offering of FLEX programs and that the 1st and 2nd graders are starting to learn Chinese as part of their regular curriculum. I look forward to putting my twins in the school for kindergarten next year.
I had all my kids to start their elementary education at thi sgreat school. I am very satisfied and happy with the teachers and the administration especially the principal.
My daughter goes to Kindergarten at Fairhill. The school is ok, not the greatest but not bad either. We have been very happy with the staff and teachers. Principle and the Vice principle are very receptive. My daughter has severe allergies and they have done excellent job in preparing themselves and the class teacher for her needs. Full marks too them. One of our bigger disappointments have been that there is extremely little parent involvement. I think other than that its been a pretty good school.

Cooper was nominated in the Best Actor category for his role in Silver Linings Playbook, which also landed David O. Russell a Best Director nod.

Beat Sketcher for PS3
So, what is Beat Sketcher? It is actually hard to call this a game, as it is more of an artistic experience that allows you to become very creative using the PlayStation Move as your virtual drawing tool or paint brush. Beat Sketcher lets you create your own masterpiece no matter what your skill level is. You can learn to draw by copying brush strokes in something called Challenge Mode or grab some friends and work together to create something magical (either cooperatively or competitively if you so choose). My favorite part is the Creation Mode, where you start with a blank canvas, so-to-speak, and unleash my imagination! If you create something you're proud of, you can even upload it to YouTube for all your friends to see.
GameZone Review Rating Above Average
We are currently working on a description for Beat Sketcher.

NEW ORLEANS, La. (BP) -- My wife and I walked up to her favorite restaurant. No one there knows our names or has a clue that this is her eatery of choice. But they get it right.
As we approach, a young lady opens the door and stands outside.
Inside, another attractive young adult greets us, asks the right questions ("how many," "would you prefer a booth or table"), and shows us to a seat. She gives us menus and informs us that Greg will be taking care of us.
Greg shows up promptly, gets our drink orders and is off. The evening progresses as we expected. We enjoy the food and the fellowship with each other, we pay the bill and tip Greg generously, and we leave.
We wish churches knew what these places do.
1) We wish churches put as much emphasis on friendly greeters at the door as good restaurants do.
Have you ever arrived at an unfamiliar church and saw no one at the doors, no greeters anywhere, and wondered where to enter? As a guest preacher (I'm retired and go wherever I'm invited), this happens to me a lot.
Are restaurants more interested in welcoming paying customers than churches are in showing hospitality to those coming to worship Christ?
The most successful eateries choose greeters carefully and train them. Managers monitor them occasionally and correct the greeters who are not getting it right. Often, a young greeter will be accompanied by a mentor who is training him.
2) We wish churches knew what restaurants know: while the food is the main thing, it's not the only thing.
Pastors sometimes assume that if their sermon is a winner, worshipers will put up with just about anything.
Not so.
The most successful restaurants do not rely solely on their menu to bring customers back. They are always painting and cleaning, tweaking their service, experimenting with new dishes, looking for ways to improve. Those that neglect their facilities and appearance will soon find themselves without customers.
3) The food, however, is the main thing -- in restaurants and at church.
A store in Dothan, Ala., posted a sign in its window: "Going out of business because we forgot what we were in business for." Sound familiar?
Even if the buildings are impressive and the location excellent and the people friendly, if the pastor cannot be counted on to deliver a worthy sermon, I'll pass, thank you.
Most pastors know that at least 50 percent of their ministry is the Sunday morning sermon, and therefore give it the lion's share of their study time. The pastor who cuts corners on this is asking for trouble.
4) People have a choice, both in restaurants and in churches.
In an Alabama town where I was speaking recently, the mega-First Baptist Church sits across the street from the huge First United Methodist Church. In between and almost crowded out was another, smaller church of a third denomination. Many towns across the Southland (especially) will have a downtown intersection where four Christian churches of different denominations occupy all four corners. We may not like that this is the way things have become, but there it is.
People will not stay in a church that does not feed them or challenge them or welcome them or one where the membership is always arguing and fighting. They can drive to another church down the street and find instant relief from such stress. While a few members will stay with a sick church out of pure loyalty, they are increasingly in a minority.
5) There is an important contrast, however: a restaurant lives and dies by the bottom line. A church does not and must not.
The church member who divides the number of additions into the cost of a revival to see if they are getting their money's worth is missing the point. It does not work that way.
The church member who divides the number of salvation decisions into the cost of a mission trip is applying the wrong measurement to the event.
No church should be making a profit or declaring dividends.
The Lord's best churches will always be straining at the limit of their resources. They will be finding new opportunities, seeing new visions, and pursuing new enterprises all the time. The church that waits until money is available before beginning a new ministry will rarely accomplish anything.
The only one who should be showing a profit from the church sits on the Throne in Heaven. We who are privileged to labor on His staff should keep His resources in play for Him and not bury them as the disobedient and fearful servant did in a parable Jesus told.
The Lord's resources are as infinite as He is. He is displeased when we hoard them, pile them up in savings accounts in dread of some rainy day out there in the future, and act as if He has gone off and left us to our own devices.
Unlike restaurants, in the church our Master Chef is always on the premises, ever watching over the whole operation, overseeing each detail, and concerned about every person who enters and the personnel who serve them.
Now, may we take your order?

NEW YORK (AP) — A spokesman for Charles Hynes says the longtime Brooklyn District Attorney will campaign on the GOP line after losing the Democratic primary.
Hynes has been in office more than 20 years. But he lost the Sept. 10 primary election to Ken Thompson, a former federal prosecutor best known for representing the maid at the center of the Dominique Strauss-Kahn sex scandal.
Hynes previously said he would not actively campaign for another party, though he will appear on the ballot as the candidate for both the Republican and Conservative parties.
A spokesman for Thompson said Hynes was refusing to accept the will of the people, who voted him out.
The 78-year-old Hynes will make an announcement on Tuesday outlining his reasons for actively campaigning.
The general election is Nov. 5.

The 2014 Adult Congenital Heart Association's 7th National Conference, Translating Quality of Care into Quality of Life, offers the unique opportunity of uniting the adult congenital heart community – patients, family members, researchers, and healthcare providers – in one location to share the best in ACHD research and resources. We're looking forward to you joining us September 5-7 in Chicago to celebrate our accomplishments and plan for the future of ACHD care.
The conference offers three overlapping educational tracks – the Patient/Family Conference, the Research Symposium, and the Health Professionals Conference – which meet separately and in plenary sessions throughout the weekend. There will be plenty of time to attend sessions, to network, to catch up with old friends, make new ones, and to enjoy the many attractions that Chicago offers, too. The site of this year's conference, the Chicago Mart Plaza Hotel, provides some of the best views of the city of Chicago. Located in the downtown River North area, the hotel is also near some of the city's best sights and sounds.
We look forward to seeing you and your family in Chicago in September! Please visit this webpage for more information as it becomes available.

The Big Elephant

This is so beautifully rendered. Thank you.
A note to readers of the 1/10/13 writings above Deb shared with me that she received a short post from a FB friend who briefly mentioned an amazing incident of elephants who paid their respects to a man they knew who had passed away. That was all the info Deb had and was immediately impulsed to write the above through the Big Elephant (or should I say, vice versa?). Anyway, I was intrigued by this and started a google search and here are some excerpts from two of several folks who had written about this. Amazing how the Big Elephant's writing has captured the heart of this story .
Excerpts from The Daily Galaxy 10/5/12:
On March 7, 2012 Lawrence Anthony (a legend in South Africa and author of "The Elephant Whisperer") died. Two days after his passing, wild elephants showed up at his home led by two large matriarchs. Separate wild herds arrived in droves to say goodbye to their beloved man-friend. A total of 31 elephants walking slowly for days, making their way in a solemn one-by-one queue from their habitat, had patiently walked miles, to get to his South African House. Lawrence's wife, Francoise, was especially touched, knowing that the elephants had not been to his house prior to that day for well over 3 years. they stayed for 2 days 2 nights without eating anything. Then one morning, they left, making their long journey back home.
Excerpts from Rob Kirby of BeliefNet:
For 12 hours, two herds of wild South African elephants slowly made their way through the Zululand bush until they reached the house of late author Lawrence Anthony, the conservationist who saved their lives. The formerly violent, rogue elephants, destined to be shot a few years ago as pests, were rescued and rehabilitated by Anthony, who had grown up in the bush and was known as the Elephant Whisperer.
For two days the herds loitered at Anthonys rural compound on the vast Thula Thula game reserve in the South African KwaZulu to say good-bye to the man they loved. But how did they know he had died? Known for his unique ability to calm traumatized elephants, Anthony had become a legend.
The first herd to arrive at Thula Thula several years ago were violent. They hated humans. Anthony found himself fighting a desperate battle for their survival and their trust, which he detailed in The Elephant Whisperer.
So how, after Anthonys death, did the reserves elephants grazing miles away in distant parts of the park know?
A good man died suddenly, says Rabbi Leila Gal Berner, Ph.D., and from miles and miles away, two herds of elephants, sensing that they had lost a beloved human friend, moved in a solemn, almost funereal procession to make a call on the bereaved family at the deceased mans home.
If there ever were a time, when we can truly sense the wondrous interconnectedness of all beings, it is when we reflect on the elephants of Thula Thula. A mans heart stops, and hundreds of elephants hearts are grieving. This mans oh-so-abundantly loving heart offered healing to these elephants, and now, they came to pay loving homage to their friend.
Can there be any doubt we are all One

Brewing excellence, one cup at a time.
We strive for excellence. It's literally a part of who we are as a company. You see, "keurig" is actually derived from the Dutch word for excellence, and it's also our promise to you. From start to finish, it's our benchmark. Be it our patented single cup brewing technology, our gourmet brands of beverages or our customer service, it's simply something you'll come to expect.
Today, we're the leading single cup brewing system in North America, and we couldn't be happier to provide gourmet coffee drinkers with the perfect cup, day in and day out.
Why do we think the single cup brewing technology is so great?
We believe that coffee should always be served fresh, just like a gourmet coffee house, wherever you are. Period. So why brew coffee a pot at a time when we drink it a cup at a time? It was from this question that our revolutionary concept of a K-Cup® pack was born.
Introduced in 1998, Keurig's innovative single cup brewing system lets people brew the perfect cup of gourmet coffee in less than a minute, without having to grind beans, measure coffee, handle filters or clean up. It's as simple as it gets.
Choose. Brew. Enjoy.®
