SEATTLE, Aug. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Group Health announced today that it has signed a Letter of Intent for Swedish Health Services to provide its Seattle-based hospital services starting in February 2016.
This will include transitioning Group Health's award-winning maternity services from its Capitol Hill location, to Swedish. Group Health physicians and midwives will continue to provide their unique approach to maternity care for their members. These services will transition in spring of 2015.
"This is all about our responsibility to create the best value for each individual we serve, which we define as the combination of great quality care, an excellent member experience, and affordability that ensures access for those who need it -- when and where they need it," said Group Health President and CEO Scott Armstrong. "With the needs of our members at the forefront of this decision-making process, we have absolute confidence that Swedish is the right choice."
"We have a long, proud history of successfully working side-by-side with physicians at major hospitals throughout Washington state, coordinating closely with these colleagues so Group Health members and patients get the high-quality, evidence-based medical services they need," said Steve Tarnoff, MD, Group Health Physicians president and chief medical executive. "We look forward to building strong clinical relationships, and to introducing our Seattle-area patients and medical staff to the excellent Swedish Health Services hospital facilities here in Seattle."
Group Health consistently evaluates both internal and external services. Consequently, it conducted a rigorous 10-month evaluation of Seattle-area inpatient (or hospital-based) services. This included multiple rounds of proposal reviews and extensive physician engagement with the Seattle hospitals that are among the best in the country. "Part of our commitment is to be good stewards on behalf of our members," added Armstrong. "Although the health care landscape is always changing, honoring our values through ensuring member access to unrestricted, affordable, quality service remains at the heart of Group Health's priorities and decisions."
Perspective from Swedish
"Group Health selecting Swedish as its Seattle-based hospital provider will help increase access to quality, affordable care. We look forward to serving their members through Swedish Medical Center's First Hill and Cherry Hill hospitals," said Swedish Chief Executive Officer Anthony Armada, FACHE. "Working in tandem with Group Health physicians and clinicians, we will ensure members continue benefiting from Group Health's award-winning model of care."

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

HOUSING: Falling rates, prices create local buyers' paradise
Home mortgage payments hit historic lows in many neighborhoods
Last year, at age 37, electrician Fred Boyd and his wife ended years of renting in Orange County and bought their family a three-bedroom house in Oceanside about seven miles from the beach.
"Home values have come down, and the loan rates have been pretty reasonable," he said. "And what you're able to buy down here, compared to what you'd be able to buy up there, it's in a lot nicer of an area."
Boyd could hardly have picked a better time.
Mortgage payments ---- the single most important factor for many homebuyers ---- have fallen to historical lows in many neighborhoods, driven down by falling prices and the lowest interest rates in generations. Indeed, families can buy a house for less than it costs to rent one in some places.
In Oceanside, the Boyds' new hometown, the mortgage for a median-priced house last year cost $1,366 a month, 19 percent less than the 30-year median payment and the lowest, in inflation-adjusted terms, since 1995.
Similar discounts abound in the region, according to a North County Times analysis of county records and federal financial data.
A loan payment on a median-priced house in North San Diego County in 2010 was $1,879, slightly higher than 2009, but otherwise the lowest since the mid-1990s in 2010 dollars ---- and lower than most of the 1980s, when 15 percent interest rates made payments expensive.
Southwest Riverside County figures show an even steeper discount: A potential buyer could pay just $897 a month for a median-priced house in 2010. That's $12 more than in 2009, but otherwise, in inflation-adjusted dollars, that's the cheapest monthly payment in Southwest County in the past 30 years.
"In the last 20 years, I've never seen anything like it," said Chuck Whitehead, general manager for Coldwell Banker's Southwest Riverside operations. "I bought my first house in 1996, a four-bedroom for $124,000, and I could probably buy that same house for $124,000. All the appreciation we've gained in the last 15 years, it's gone."
In the wake of a recession that ended in 1996, house prices rose steadily through 2003, stimulating new construction all over the region, from inland Carlsbad north and east into Temecula and Murrieta.
Loan added air to bubble
In 2003, as house prices kept rising and interest rates kept falling, lenders offered new, complicated loans to borrowers looking to get in on the boom. These loans offered low payments for the first few years, but ballooned in later years.
The influx of new buyers created a housing-price bubble and stimulated waves of construction. In 2006, the bubble burst. House prices began a swift descent, foreclosures surged, and the economy imploded.
In 2009, house prices hit a low and began to climb, slowly, helped in part by government incentives. But interest rates kept falling, reaching 30-year lows last year at 4.83 percent in California for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage, according to government mortgage giant Fannie Mae. And though low interest rates typically push up the price of housing, that hasn't happened yet.
In particular, the communities surrounding Highway 78, including Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos and Escondido, all offer rare bargains ---- especially Oceanside, with its proximity to the coast. Nearly all of Southwest Riverside County qualifies as a bargain, as numerous foreclosures and a glut of new houses creates opportunities for those with the wherewithal to buy.
For the median-price house in Escondido last year, the typical monthly payment was $1,347 on a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage with a 20 percent down payment. That was a bit higher than the $1,328 it would have cost in 1995, measured in 2010 dollars ---- and sharply lower than the $2,811 payment on the median-priced Escondido house in 2006. Payments in Vista and San Marcos were also near historical lows.
A similar mortgage in Temecula cost $1,174 in 2010, slightly more expensive than it was in 2009, and cheaper than any year since 1984.
Together with low prices, "the fall in interest rates in recent years has contributed mightily to affordability," said Chris Thornberg, an economist with Beacon Economics in Los Angeles.
Pockets of higher prices
But prices in some of the toniest neighborhoods, like those in Encinitas and Del Mar, are still higher than historical norms, wiping out the benefits of low interest rates.
"It's your neighbors you're paying for," Thornberg said. "A lot of people are spending a lot of money to be in the ritzy neighborhood because it's in a ritzy neighborhood."
Many real estate agents interviewed for this article made a similar point: Buying a house to live in means accounting for a buyer's idiosyncratic tastes. Some people want to live in Del Mar because it's close to the beach and well-to-do, and some people want a lot of bedrooms for less money in a house in Murrieta.
There are bargains to be found in all of these cities. The numbers presented in this article summarize diverse neighborhoods and communities, and some houses in even the cheapest town may well be overpriced. Plus, not everyone necessarily wants to buy a house anymore ---- the past five years provided an object lesson in the risks of home ownership.
It's not easy to close a deal in today's market. Buyers need excellent credit, and even then, qualified buyers may not get the mortgages they need, real estate agents said. The mix of houses available in today's market is dominated by bank-owned homes and those sold by borrowers for less than they owe, a complicated deal called a short sale that can take months.
But that didn't stop James and Kim Maciariello from buying a short-sale condo in Oceanside.
"It's definitely a good time," James Maciariello said. "It seems to have been slowly getting to be a better situation for buyers in general, since we started looking seriously two years ago. This area is one we can both envision ourselves settling down in."
The Maciariellos fell for Oceanside in 2007 while scouting locations for their wedding. They rented a place three blocks from the beach before they found the condo they closed on last month.
The Maciariellos may be leading a trend, said economist Nathan Moeder of the London Group. In the past 30 years, developers have been working their way up the coast, from La Jolla to Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Encinitas and Carlsbad, each city in turn becoming substantially more expensive.
"Based on patterns of growth, the next logical places are Carlsbad and Oceanside," Moeder said. "If you're going to buy in Oceanside, you might have to wait a little bit longer than Carlsbad, but if you're looking to be in San Diego and establish roots and be there 10, 20 years, Oceanside might be a good value place."
In for the long term
Kurt Kinsey, an Oceanside real estate agent, is equally optimistic for the cities' long-term prospects.
"I'm putting people into homes. They are owner-occupied, they are young families. It's going to take a little time," he said.
Those coastal communities dodged the worst of the foreclosure crisis. The least expensive cities, including Oceanside, Escondido and those in Southwest County, were slammed by foreclosures.
Oceanside borrowers watched lenders take back 1,270 houses in 2008, though in 2010 that number had fallen 66 percent to 413, according to foreclosure data firm ForeclosureRadar. Escondido peaked with 1,971 foreclosures in 2008, and in 2010 that fell to 611. In Temecula, lenders foreclosed on 1,397 houses in 2008, and in 2010 that number fell to 963, a still-high figure that may account for the continued low prices in the area.
Lenders sell foreclosed houses at relatively low prices in an effort to move the property quickly. These areas also tend to be rife with short sales.
Sellers in a short sale tend to take better care of properties than people in foreclosure, but the deals tend to take months to complete. And short sales also push down prices.
All those people who have been foreclosed in the past three years ---- 55,809 in North San Diego and Southwest Riverside counties since 2007 ---- still need a place to live, so they rent.
North San Diego County apartment rents have held steady even as house prices plummeted between 2007 and 2010, staying around $1,300 for an average-sized apartment, according to MarketPointe Realty Advisors.
House rentals are also in high demand.
Homeowners now renters
In recent months, Gwynne Hodge, a property manager in Carlsbad, said she has received more applications to rent her properties, and she has conducted more showings. Ned Paterson, a Carlsbad property manager with 450 houses and condos to rent, said his vacancy rate is down to 2.7 percent. Five percent is considered a landlord's market, he said.
"My clients are anticipating being able to give out rent increases this summer where they haven't the last couple years." Paterson said.
Nonetheless, the listings at Golden Key Properties Inc., Paterson's property management firm, show a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house in Oceanside that rents for $1,750 a month. While the potential sale price of that house is difficult to determine, that rent is $364 more than the cost of a mortgage on a median-priced house in the same city in 2010.
No one knows how long prices will stay low. Whitehead, the Coldwell Banker manager in Southwest County, said a switch flipped in his office, and buyers are suddenly out in force.
Then again, several economists and real estate agents made the point that people should buy houses to live in, not to invest in, and they should expect to spend years living in their houses before prices start to rebound. And the short term might get ugly.
"What interest rates give, they can take away," Thornberg said. "Our housing market is very interest-rate-dependent. A spike in interest rates could kill the market."

The Best OfferAnne Murphy
A story centered on an eccentric art auctioneer and his obsession with an heiress/collector.
Movies are rarely as alluring as this mystery crime story. Not only is the clever story well told, but it's artistically portrayed on the screen, a combination that ensures it is a pleasure to watch. There's a sophisticated mix of obsession and passion; emotions often associated with art and the people who inhabit the rarified atmospheres of galleries and auction houses. The premise is intriguing enough to hold interest right up until the credits, even if you manage to anticipate the outcome. No further bidding required.
StokerAnne Murphy
After India's father dies, her Uncle Charlie, who she never knew existed, comes to live with her and her unstable mother.
In a movie fraught with dichotomies, a mother and daughter vie for the attention mysterious uncle who is both sinister and smooth. The film is as stylish as the story is twisted. Unfortunately, the more macabre the plot becomes, the more predictable the next development is. The initially promising premise reveals itself as shallow. "Stoker" is visually stunning, almost gothic in style as is hinted at in the title, although the setting is modern day. Chilling but nothing preternatural.
Before MidnightAnne Murphy
We meet Jesse and Celine in Greece, almost two decades have passed since their first meeting on a train bound for Vienna.
The talkies were invented for the couple in this story. "Before Midnight" is a conversation first and foremost, and film is merely the medium it's recorded on. Relationships are complex and involve compromise. It's a pleasure to be privy to an intimate but seemingly everyday sort of dialogue about lives spent together and the future to come. All is achieved with a natural style and there is little feeling that what plays out is being acted out. Magical without pumpkins.
MudAnne Murphy
Two teenage boys encounter a fugitive and form a pact to help him evade the bounty hunters on his trail and to reunite him with his true love.
"Mud" is a hold-your-breath atmospheric thriller set down South in the US. As expected, the ol' boys are hardened characters seeking either redemption or revenge but this intense movie really belongs to the two wide-eyed young boys and their adventures in a grim adult world. While distracted by women, they are discovering what it takes to be a man and how the bonds forged between men prove more steadfast than other embittering relationships. Gritty.
Much Ado About NothingAnne Murphy
A modern retelling of Shakespeare's classic comedy about two pairs of lovers with different takes on romance and a way with words.
Finally a rom-com that is unabashedly romantic and laugh-out-loud funny. The ingredients of this movie create a heady cocktail that ensures audience delight. First take a work published in 1600, stage it as a garden party with players costumed in business attire speaking with American accents, sit back, and swig. The secret is having the cast drink a lot, it works, and the otherwise silly plot twists make more sense than ever. Ta-dah and much ado.
A Gun in Each HandAnne Murphy
A series of five vignettes exploring the relationship crises of middle aged men.
This movie is a conversation starter. After watching the intimate conversations on the screen, there will much to talk about, particularly with a member of the opposite sex. "A Gun in Each Hand" is thought provoking, and we're given a fly-on-the-wall chance to witness men talking and sharing about their feelings and relationships. They are all struggling in some way and the director's slightly cynical touch is light enough that we can connect with both their desires and concerns. Straight shooters, or trying to be

Despicable Me 2Anne Murphy
Gru is recruited by the Anti-Villain League to help deal with a powerful new super criminal.
Despicable has become respectable and it must be Spring as dating and romance are the featured themes. The writers have set up their reformed villain to meet a love interest and create a traditional family. Hows that for uninspired? Needless to say, "Despicable Me 2" is not as delightful as its predecessor. Thankfully those little yellow guys, the minions, make merry with fart jokes and other slapstick mayhem; they are more attuned to junior audiences than the besotted lead characters. Disappointed me.
In the HouseAnne Murphy
A sixteen-year-old boy insinuates himself into the house of a fellow student from his literature class and writes about it in essays for his French teacher.
"In the House" cleverly and deliberately blurs the line between fact and fiction. As the plot develops, we are left to ponder what game is being played. This is a clever movie where the audience could feel as manipulated as any of the characters; is there a disquieting undertone of malevolence or was it imagined? After all, this is a witty story about story-telling and it is a good story well told. Inside, outside, and upside down.

Happiness Never Comes AloneAnne Murphy
Sacha is only interested in one night stands and has a phobia of children, until he meets Charlotte, the divorced mother-of-three and ex-wife of one his employer's powerful clients.
This French rom-com is delightful, and there's much enjoy. Unfortunately, like many in the genre, there's not a lot to make it memorable. The good-looking leads enchant with their on-screen chemistry, and the humour has a physicality to it that borders on slap-stick, providing an amusing touch of vaudevillian styling. You can't help but be enamoured - this movie delivers a delightful affair of the heart. Happiness, apparently, comes for couples.

The Great GatsbyAnne Murphy
A Midwestern war veteran finds himself drawn to the past and lifestyle of his millionaire neighbour.
"The Great Gatsby" as a book is a literary classic and it's difficult to review the movie without making comparisons. Most viewers will watch with some sort of expectation. Do so at the peril of your enjoyment, look too critically and you'll see this is not a perfect image of the novel. Forget familiarity, the director has delivered a turbo-charged, multi-coloured and visually spectacular version of the story and intriguing characters alike. This film version is true to the source but somehow greater.
TabuAnne Murphy
A Lisbon woman seeks out a man who has a secret connection to her neighbours past life on a farm by Mount Tabu in Africa.
The film-maker's craft is skillfully realised in stunning black and white, and "Tabu" is visually rewarding. Innovative audio techniques leave the telling of the background story to a narrator with a flat style that eventually weighs down interest. The real let down is a plot that lacks depth. The movie is not redeemed by its symbolism... a crocodile obviously warns of lurking danger. Ironically it's the very same reptile that remains the only snappy thing about this film. Not fabu(lous).
Lost in SiberiaAnne Murphy
A shy German logistician of a mail order company is sent to Kemerovo in Siberia to accomplish better work flow in the Russian subsidiary company.
Sometimes we have to travel far from home in order to find ourselves, and that mantra is central to this movie. A conservative business man becomes captivated by a traditional singer, an attraction that highlights the economic and social differences of individuals and their respective homelands. "Lost in Siberia" is quirky and heartwarming, the perfect antidote to a working week that might leave you feeling a little jaded. The best thing about getting lost is being found.

The Big WeddingAnne Murphy
A long-divorced couple fakes being married as their family unites for a wedding.
Rather than celebrating marriage, "The Big Wedding" has a core of infidelity and it doesn't stop there. This movie offers many good reasons to avoid matrimony. The happy couple is happy enough but they fail to spark much interest; nor do their families made up of mostly crass characters. It's all a bit vulgar and unfunny but fortunately a little too lame to be really offensive. The most objectionable part is being lured into a cinema by the big name actors in this low brow feature. Big wedding but little entertainment.
Shores of HopeAnne Murphy
Two friends working on the docks in East Germany in the 1980s make plans to defect to the west.
Friendship, conscience, and politics from the last century make an engaging story, especially as everybody is plotting against somebody. The Stasi, the secret police, are portrayed as bumbling and brutal. It's alarming and intriguing to experience a world where betrayal is rewarded and nobody can be trusted. There is an austerity of style presented on-screen that lends credibility to the tale, and you may just pinch yourself in order to remember this is a story, although the setting was real.

Haute CuisineAnne Murphy
The story of Danièle Delpeuch and how she was appointed as the private chef for François Mitterrand.
"Haute Cuisine" is a tasty factional account of a woman cooking and making her way in a man's world. Kitchen environments are not known for their diplomacy, and the chef has a poise and self-assuredness that could provide a template for woman in business. Her spirit is inspiring. Expect light fare rather than a big meal, and it's satisfying nonetheless. The food provides as much entertainment as the politics, and foodies will enjoy the reverence paid to simple ingredients, not to mention the pleasure of eating. Gastronomic!

First PositionAnne Murphy
A documentary that follows six young dancers from around the world as they prepare for the Youth America Grand Prix, one of the most prestigious ballet competitions in the world.
The physicality, athleticism and strength of mind of ballet students at the top of their art is extraordinary. Even so, in a world of reality TV competitions, the struggle to win has become all a bit clichéd. This is one for aficionados who will appreciate the achievements of the dancers, and for the rest of us this performance piece is heart-warming, if predictable, without being too tutu.

Hyde Park on HudsonAnne Murphy
The story of the affair between FDR and his cousin Daisy Suckley, centered around the weekend in 1939 when the King of England visited New York.
The most entertaining thread of "Hyde Park on The Hudson" comes from the pronunciation of 'hot dog' by the royal couple. Disarmingly straight-faced, they consider whether to eat one. It's a small highlight in what is an otherwise lacklustre production about a philatelist president and his dowdy cousin. "How I longed for him" is typical of the narration provided, courtesy of the mooning paramour to explain what isn't apparent on the screen. The Hudson reduced to a rivulet.
Mt. ZionAnne Murphy
Turei's family are hard-working potato farm workers in rural New Zealand.
The town is Pukekohe and the year is 1979, it is hard to break away from family and community and young men have big dreams. "Mt Zion" is a modest movie that appeals with its simple earthy feel. You're left to wonder if we grow up too quickly and lose imagined possibilities. Subtitles are provided when a Maori dialect is spoken and there is the odd line of English dialogue that could use translation too, if you know what I mean bru. Singing songs of Zion.
GoddessAnne Murphy
Elspeth Dickens is stuck in an isolated farmhouse with her twin toddlers when a web-cam becomes her pathway to fame and fortune, but at a price.
It's faint praise to say that "Goddess" is a pleasant enough movie. The title suggests heavenly heights might be achieved but it is rooted in ordinariness. While this Australian production is not bad, it disappoints by not being fabulous either. It bounces around with a slightly annoying level of frivolity, finding form as a light and bright escapist production that never quite clicks into gear. Humdrum benign Mum.
North Sea TexasAnne Murphy
A teenage boy's search for love finds him fixated on the boy next door.
It's that time in life when emerging sexual desires inevitably involve the boy next door, as upsetting as that may be to his sister who also fancies the boy next door to her too. That statement about the plot, while accurate, is clumsy in comparison to the tender handling that first love receives in "North Sea Texas", a subtle and moody film. Movies in the understated style of this production often get labelled as 'little films' but there is nothing small about Texas, even when located on the Belgium coast.

SkylabAnne Murphy
In July 1979, during the Summer holidays, in a house in Brittany, a family gathered to celebrate Granny Amandine's sixty-seventh birthday.
Family's are funny when generations gather to celebrate special events, the experience an odd mix of funny-ha-ha and funny-peculiar. "Skylab" is thoroughly charming as it highlights the oddities of a family get-together, full of beautifully observed moments and interactions readily remembered from our shared histories. Missing is a stronger narrative to glue it all together and provide a point to the production; as it is, the question 'so what?' remains unanswered. Pie in the sky
RebelleAnne Murphy
Somewhere in Sub-Saharan Africa, Komona a 14-year-old girl tells her unborn child growing inside her the story of her life since she has been at war.
The atrocities that surround a girl kidnapped by rebels when she was 12 years old are inhuman in their ruthlessness. Seen through her eyes, the story is a work of fiction but the situation is as credible as the one shown on screen. With its understated approach, "Rebelle War Witch" looks to be drawn from reality. Told from a child's perspective, the depiction of the fate of child soldiers is so plausible it's horrifying.
Thérèse DesqueyrouxAnne Murphy
The unhappily married woman struggles to break free from social pressures and her boring suburban setting.
Based on a classic French novel, "Therese Desqueyroux" is about the boredom of a life of privilege for a woman restrained within a marriage arranged by her family. The movie begins in 1926, but the theme of the suppression of self is timeless, the actions of the protagonist coldly calculated as her martial devotion wanes. Understated and restrained performances serve to highlight the banality of a life lived without passion. Is our fate within or beyond our control? Je ne regrette rien.

Cherry on the CakeAnne Murphy
A lonely woman with a crushing fear of commitment attends a New Year's Eve party that puts her in an uncomfortable predicament.
"The Cherry on the Cake" is a French rom-com that reminds us what hard work the dating game is. The plot is built upon a trivial but amusing premise that gets overworked until it becomes tiresome. Girl and guy meet, but girl tires of guy until guy becomes unavailable, and then girl is interested again. If it sounds irritating in premise,then it's a even more annoying when realised on screen; if only the film was played out with more humour. No cherry picking.

PerformanceAnne Murphy
Members of a world-renowned string quartet struggle to stay together in the face of death, competing egos and insuppressible lust.
When you find yourself weeping in a cinema, why is it that you cry? Is it for the life loves and losses of fictional characters or for your own fragile mortality? Something extraordinary is orchestrated when a writer and director conspire to bring a finely tuned production to the screen. Credit must also go to the talented actors who perform together seamlessly as a quartet. "Performance" is played like a concerto. Bravo!

This is the first post in a series of articles on global ministry trends and issues presented by Dr. Greg Burch, Director of the Master of Arts in Global Development and Justice program and Chair of the Global Studies Department. You can read more articles from Dr. Burch on his personal site, The Burch Blog.
Over the next eight weeks, I will be presenting some of the current movements and trends within global mission efforts today. As contexts of mission shift, theory and practice must also keep up the pace. A primary motif within current mission literature seeks to understand current issues and trends in the field. One thing that must not change is the theological basis to global mission. Theology and mission must be closely tied as we re-consider and reconfigure what we mean by global mission in an age of radical change. Too frequently in the past, our theologies have remained dormant and detached from social realities. And likewise, mission has been divorced from a strong theological foundation, manifested, in some cases, more like a social service disconnected from God's central purpose in building his kingdom. When this all happens, "The result is a theology divorced from human realities and a missiology that lacks theological foundations" (Paul Hiebert 38).
There are a number of shifts taking place in global mission today. Strategies and approaches will need to be assessed to keep up with current events. One example from this past week is the new Russian law that prevents one from sharing his or her faith outside of a church or religious building (including online and in residential buildings). The new law, which was attached to anti-terrorism amendments, goes into effect on Wednesday, July 20. (For more on this law see Forum 18 – a local news source in the region.) How should mission organizations and others deeply concerned about growing God's kingdom respond? What is the best approach to missional activity in such a restricted context?
Other issues we will consider in the coming weeks are new mission terms. Even historic and traditional ways of describing mission are being debated. The issue of nomenclatures and mission program titles has, as of recent, been included in mission conferences and frequently debated in recent works. Take, for example, the recent American Society of Missiology's annual meeting (2015) and the Professor of Mission conference as they discussed such topics as Missio-logoi: The Many Languages of Mission and What's in a Name? Assessing Mission Studies Program Titles. These are current issues that are reflective of the changes taking place in the field. Even our own mission program at Multnomah recently went through some significant changes. See Global Studies for more on MU's own experience with this topic.
Andrew Kirk writes from a conciliar position on mission as he explores the need to incorporate a broad missiological foundation that includes mission to the poor, creation care, contextualization, social justice, pluralism, violence and peacemaking, and global partnerships. In his proposal, he suggests that mission be inclusive of a broad range of issues (24, 28-29). One of the stronger emphases noted in the writings of Kirk is how many of Jesus' friends were indeed outsiders. The poor, with whom Jesus associated, were much more than those who did not own property; rather, they were people who had been intentionally disadvantaged and forbidden to enter into the life of civil society. They were forced to become powerless to make any difference in society (48). Given the place of the poor and marginalized in Scripture, they will be a primary motif in the coming weeks as well.
As we discuss trends and movements within global mission today, we must remember that mission knowledge is built upon the past and mission praxis is built upon the present. This review will seek to keep an eye on both.

have this rug in front of my sink in the kitchen looks great on dark wood floors, lends just the right amount of texture. Reccomend!
Very pleased with the looks and texture of this runner. It is thick and adds great interest to my hardwood entry way. Rolled flat upon arrival and has stayed in place without a rug pad.
Overall this runner looked the way I wanted it to, but upon opening it was really surprised by the smell ... natural sea grass wrapped in plastic for who knows how long was pretty aromatic. I let it air out - outside - for a day or two, then brought it in. It still had a smell, but after 2 weeks the smell is gone. Mind you, this isn't a rotten or even artificial smell. It's just a very potent dried grass smell.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The color was comprable.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The quality is good. I've only had it for 2 weeks so we will see how long it lasts.
This runner and the rug are perfect for our Lake Home application. We wanted durable and a natural relaxed vibe, and this does the trick. The only concern is there are a couple imperfections in the weave, but that is to be expected given the material involved. We love it and can run the vacuum over it with no issues.
Excellent quality. Perfect in front of my sliding glass doors to pick up dirt from shoes. Neutral color goes well with other area rugs in the room. Love this rug. So glad I took the chance on it.
Looks nice in the entrance way of my home
Rug is as described and pictured. I suppose the only negative was that for some reason I thought it would be longer, but measuring at 6' you get what you order. Here's the beauty of seagrass: it's virtually stain free! I have the same brand rug under my kitchen table and with two not so tidy children I'm impressed with how it has held up. Looks like new and I've had it almost a year- and my daughter had a flu, um, mishap and I was able to just use water and clean that up!! Love this line, the pattern is appealing, too.
Nice rug. Has more texture in person than shown though.
Great looking rug at a great price. If you walk around in your bare feet it can be a bit uncomfortable. Holding up well in a busy part of our house.
A little message for the feet while standing at the kitchen sink and looks great. This is just what I was looking for to create a beach look, and seems like it will hold up well in a high traffic kitchen area. I would buy it again.
this rug is perfect! I bought to go in front of the french doors going out to the yard. We have 2 dogs and it helps cut down on the dirt they bring into the house. They seem to like it come in and lay on it. Has a nice backing to prevent from slipping on hardwoods. I have a chair on one side helping to uncurl the rug from shipping. Just perfect!
Am very happy with my purchase. There was a jute smell (not offensive) for a bit but it has faded. Perfect rug for our entry way. Great for high traffic -- wears well and still looks like new after a couple months of getting trampled on by visitors and our 2-year-old. Would definitely purchase again.
This Hand Woven Sisal Runner, is a great value for the money.
You better like it when you order it because Overstock wanted to charge me 1/3 of the sale price to return it!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Accurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Low quality
I am using the rug. Seems to be decent quality but when it first came out of the package it smelled TERRIBLE! I had to leave it outside for several days to air it out before I brought it in the house. The weave is also more rustic or rough-looking than in the picture.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? This rug was more rustic looking than the picture.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Seems to be decent quality but more rustic than pictue and had a terrible smell when first out of package. I left it on my porch for several days and then it aired out.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? OK but again, more rustic or rougher than appeared in picture.
A great rug, especially for the money. My only complaint is that it doesn't feel great on bare feet!
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? yes
- How is the quality of the product? fantastic
- Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? yes
This runner was placed at the back entry of our home, and after only a short time, there are already a number of areas where the weave has come undone. While the sisal is ideal for the high traffic through this hallway, it's a bit disappointing that it hasn't been more resilient.
We used this rug in our mudroom after researching materials that are sturdy. It did smell funny once we got it but went away within a day. I read other reviews pertaining to this but it is because of the Seagrass that it is made from. With 4 kids and a dog this rug still looks great and its been a few months! It also really does repel water! Great purchase!
I love this carpet! I bought two in December and they are holding up great. A very good value.
I needed a long rug to place in front of a long entry sliding glass door. This rug is well made and fits its purpose perfectly.

Bishop of Heraclea, Upper Egypt. Arrested in the final persecution of the Church, he was condemned to the mines and had one eye gouged out and one leg rendered lame, as was the custom of branding prisoners. Released by the decree of Emperor Constantine the Great, Potamon took part in the Council of Nicaea but was then severely persecuted by the Arians of Egypt, who were outraged by his unequivocal support for the equally persecuted St. Athanasius of Alexandria. He died from the indignities and cruelties inflicted upon him by the heretics. Some accounts state that the Arians beat him to death.

I was talking with Avanade's Senior Director for Enterprise Security, Ace Swerling, earlier today. The conversation touched on a wide range of security and identity management issues that I'll probably return to, but one of Ace's comments brought my attention back to an issue that has been nagging at me for a while.
As I'm sure we all know, security concerns often figure highly in discussions about moving Enterprise applications and data to the Cloud. Indeed, I spoke with other Avanade executives earlier this year to report on a survey they had commissioned that suggested just how significant these concerns can be for potential customers.
In today's conversation, Ace appeared to agree (as do I) with the frequent assertion that Cloud providers' own systems will tend to be more secure than those that the majority of potential customers have in-house today. These service providers have their entire reputation riding on their security, it's absolutely core to their business model, and they can invest in the facilities, procedures and people to get it right. They're not claiming to be invincible; nothing is. But the good ones should certainly be capable of being as secure as anything else connected to a network.
Which brings me to the 'problem;' a data centre like the one in the video below can be physically and virtually secure, equipped with the best hardware, software, procedures and brains that money can buy.
And then you ruin it by letting the customers in.
The customers who open up all the ports you so carefully closed by default. The customers who use 'password' as their password. The customers who deploy sloppy code that's riddled with holes. The customers who, frankly, are just human… and who don't live and breathe security in the same way that at least someone inside the data centre probably does.
There are plenty of checks, balances and procedures in place to ensure that the idiocy of customer A cannot impact upon the services used by customers B, C, and Z, but what can the data centre do to protect customer A from themselves once they start over-riding default settings and policies?
Maybe, you might say, we should leave customer A to their own devices? If they want to open themselves up to hackers then let them.
The problem, of course, is that Cloud Computing is still pretty new. There are plenty of critics and pundits itching to break the news that "Sun's Cloud," "Amazon's Cloud," "Microsoft's Cloud," or "Google's Cloud" is clearly not to be trusted because some customer of that Cloud got hacked. It wouldn't be news if some small startup no one has ever heard of was hacked. It most certainly would be if they were hosted on EC2, unfair as that might seem.
"Amazon Cloud insecure," the headlines would scream. Werner Vogels could argue forever that the customer ignored safeguards and contravened best practice, but who would be listening? The stock would tank, IBM and VMware would subtly massage their marketing collateral to emphasise their on-premise innovations and downplay the new-fangled Cloud stuff they've been talking about in recent months.
So, I wonder, which will be the first big Cloud provider to turn the tables on the customer? Sure, Cloud providers will still be measured on how secure they are… but maybe they'll start asking questions about how secure their potential customers are, before letting them in the door. Health metaphors might be used, arguing that those without the necessary immunisations and vaccinations put innocent third parties at risk. In talking it through with Ace he suggested a motoring metaphor, pointing out that manufacturer and dealer warranties are void if the customer doesn't do their part in ensuring that the car is properly maintained and regularly serviced.
It could actually be quite an easy proposition to sell to many current and potential customers; and maybe you could even provide discounts to those who scored highly in some notional assessment of their securedness.
What would such a relationship between customer and provider look like, would it divert the heat from the service provider when things beyond their control do go wrong, and who is going to make this move first?
Maybe, as the Cloud gets big enough to be serious business, the days of simply letting anyone with a credit card into the data centre are numbered?
