TERM Seminar
When: Saturday, October 24 from 9:00am-5:00pm
What is TERM?
When sharing the gospel, many of us quote John 3:16 or pass out gospel tracts. We appeal to the fact that God has a wonderful plan for each person. But recently, our efforts have often been met with blank stares or harsh criticism. Of those who do profess Christ, many fall by the wayside or show no evidence of understanding. Some believers are plagued by a nagging doubt—does the gospel have the power to truly change lives?
TERM is a time to stop and rethink evangelism in the context of our diverse, ever-changing world.
The seminar looks into Scripture to see what it has to say about sharing the gospel clearly. In the process, an approach springs to light that Jesus himself used. Learn why The Emmaus Road Message (TERM) has proven so effective—whether we are engaging the confused, the seeker or the hardened.
TERM will enable you to use the chronological approach to evangelism that has benefited so many around the world. See how the power of the historical narrative overcomes obstacles and enhances clarity. Learn simple, everyday methods for communicating the Bible's life-changing message.
Early Bird:
Individual: $45
Married Couples: $65 (Note: couples share one set of materials)
Regular: (from Oct. 10)
Individual: $55

I'm trying to get the caption part of my slider to link to the respective article url on my wordpress site. I'm pretty sure I found the section in the plugin code I think needs to be edited, but when I try to do the following:
echo "

";
I get "syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';" showing up in my slider, and the rest of my site not working. I've tried many variations of what I've tried to do here, but I can't seem to find one that works.
Here's the original entire slider code if it's helpful: http://pastebin.com/4nKxXkSa

Too late. I made my choice. Huawei Pillar. Cricket Mobile.
Not too bad. No GPS, customizable with whatever I like. Added bonus, it can do internet and it was meant for texting, BUT, I hardly text for one and for the other it cannot browse fast and it's basically using a micro window to every webpage I go to cuz I have to drag it around and look at scrunched text. What's more is the directions/connections of one frame to the next get tedious on top of being slow. So I don't really use internet function at all.
I promise myself that I'll use my credit card to buy something online through my phone just "because I can", but so far I don't have the patience for 65k-esque speeds anymore on top of DSL-esque inconsistent connection coverage.
So obviously I bit the bullet and went with monthly prepaid. It does what I need it to, which is take calls and messages. And I play a snarky jerky boys voicemail greeting as you might expect.
That's right, Bixby Snyder folks.

Do you know of a plugin to get the images linked to the .org blog address?

Tens of thousands of people were expected to cram the streets of Paris Sunday in a last-ditch protest to stop controversial gay marriage legislation from being approved.
On Tuesday the French parliament is expected to pass the bill allowing gays to marry and adopt children, after weeks of opposition protests which culminated this week in several successive days of hostile, and sometimes violent, rallies.
Far-right former National Front leader Jean-Marie Le Pen said Saturday he was amazed by the "extraordinary" and "practically permanent" opposition to the reform.
"It is normal that people demonstrate against a bill they oppose, but it's a surprising phenomenon, including for people in power, to see that (the demonstrations) concern hundreds of thousands of people," he said. "It's quite exceptional."
A demonstration in March was attended by more than 300,000 people -- though it is unlikely that Sunday will see the same high turnout.
Supporters of the bill -- a key manifesto pledge by France's Socialist president Francois Hollande -- have planned a rival demonstration for Sunday.
The bill should see France become the 14th country in the world to legalise same-sex unions.
Tension over the imminent adoption of the law -- which is going through a second reading after already being approved in the French parliament's upper and lower houses -- reached breaking point this week.
Demonstrators marched for three nights running in Paris, with skirmishes with police on Friday resulting in officers using tear gas on protesters and making one arrest.
Nationwide protests a day earlier saw 75 people detained and, on Wednesday, two journalists were attacked and a number of cars along the rally route in the capital vandalised.
Meanwhile on Friday in parliament's lower house, the National Assembly, a final debate on the legislation was marred by unprecedented scuffles between deputies on opposite sides of the argument.
Opponents have accused the government of rushing the bill through its final legislative stages by implementing a fast-track measure that has limited debate to 25 hours.
NGOs have reported a general rise in verbal and physical assaults against homosexuals amid the debate, with two gay bars in the northern city of Lille and in Bordeaux coming under attack Wednesday.
Hollande, whose support for his campaign promise has never wavered, has condemned the surge in "homophobic" violence. Interior Minister Manuel Valls warned that far-right organisations are infiltrating the opposition movement, triggering unrest.
The bill was largely supported by the ruling Socialists, their allies in the Green Party and the Communists, and opposed by the main opposition UMP and other right-wing and centre-right parties.
It has proved hugely divisive in a country that is officially secular but predominantly Catholic.
Sunday's march through central Paris, due to start at 1230 GMT, hopes to gather "between 30,000 and 50,000 people" organisers said.
"We only have a few days left, we are not going to abandon the street" protests now, said organiser Alberic Dumont on Friday.
Delegations are expected from both the National Front and the UMP party -- which launched an official call to mobilise.
Opinion polls have routinely indicated that a majority of French people support gay marriage but that fewer support adoption rights for homosexual couples.
A further mass protest in Paris is planned for May 26 if the law is approved, to demand its withdrawal and a referendum on gay marriage.

DECATUR, Ala. (AP) - The Morgan County board of education has
fired a high school principal accused of using his position to
pressure a nontenured teacher to get her husband, who is a doctor,
to prescribe him painkillers.
The board unanimously voted to fired Priceville High Principal
Guy Bowling during Wednesday's meeting.
Bowling, who had back surgery in January, allegedly sent the
teacher a letter stating he needed help because he lost his
medication for severe back pain. He was also accused of coming to
school under the influence of pain medication.
Bowling's supporters were upset and vocal over the firing.
Bowling's attorney, Brian Oakes, said his client will file an

The Government's economic credibility goes on the line this
morning when the Treasury issues its pre-election fiscal
update and the much anticipated return to surplus becomes
election fodder.
The Treasury updates can be notoriously inaccurate and even
forecasts issued with the May Budget out of date consistently
on tax data.
Also, by the time the figures for the 11 months ended May
were released last month, the forecasts were, in some cases,
well off the mark.
The operating balance before gains and losses (obegal) was in
deficit by $1.1 billion for the 11 months ended May, $332
million more than expected.
Core Crown expenses of $64.2 billion were 0.1% less than
forecast and core Crown tax revenue of $56.5 billion was 0.8%
less than forecast.
The operating balance (including gains and losses) was in
surplus by $4.3 billion.
Continued strength in equity markets saws gains recorded on
financial investments of $4.8 billion, which was $1.4 billion
ahead of forecast.
Finance Minister Bill English will be hoping the figures for
the end of June confirm the wafer-thin surplus of $372
million forecast in May's Budget is still included in the
figures released today.
The surplus is within a margin of error.
Labour finance spokesman David Parker said there were clear
signs the so-called ''rock star economy'' had fallen off the
stage, with plummeting prices for raw commodity exports.
New Zealand had become ever more reliant on raw commodities
such as milk and logs while non-primary manufacturing exports
and other industries struggled.
Overall exports had fallen from 33% of gross domestic product
(GDP) to 29% of GDP under National, a far cry from the
promise of increasing exports to 40% of GDP, he said.
''Analysts will be checking Treasury forecasts to see how
much further exports are now predicted to fall,'' Mr Parker
The Treasury is likely to revise down the expectations for
economic growth which underpinned the Budget.
The Green Party has commissioned Business and Economic
Research Ltd (Berl) to analyse parts of the May Budget.
Berl chief economist Ganesh Nana, Council of Trade Unions
economist Bill Rosenberg and Green co-leader Russel Norman
release the findings of the report today, before the release
of the Treasury pre-election update at 10am.

The star of the beloved TV show <italics>Heroes</italics> saw the Kings and Blackhawks play a little hockey at the United Center in Chicago. 2|16 Manuel Balce Ceneta/AP Unlike Tim Thomas last year, LA Kings coach Darryl Sutter (<italics>right</italics>) bit his lip and kept his political 'pinions to himself as a soccer ball -- in honor of MLS's LA Galaxy -- bounced off the POTUS's forehead during a solemn White House ceremony. We suspect Mr. Thomas might have chortled at seeing a puck bounce off the Prez's noggin in honor of Sutter's reigning Stanley Cup champs. 3|16 Lintao Zhang/Getty Images Taking sides: With Dennis Rodman getting ink for his work on the foreign affairs front, the soccer icon got in on the action by providing a peek at his new tattoo to fans at Peking University in Beijing. Sir Becks was on a five-day visit by invite of the China Football Association, which appointed him its first international ambassador. Perhaps we'll see him kick the topic of nuclear arms around with Rodman's new pal in North Korea. 4|16 John Raoux/AP Club sandwich: Tiger Woods chowed down after blowing a putt on the 18th green during the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando, Fla. In other news, the inimitable <italics>New York Post</italics> reported, "Tiger Woods and Nike opened themselves up to an industrial-sized can of social media whoop-ass after the company released an online ad displaying a picture of the golfer with a quote attributed to him: 'Winning takes care of everything.'" Indeed. Tiger's win restored him to his throne as the world's No. 1 professional divot-digger. 5|16 J Pat Carter/AP Despite some trouble getting the ball to behave, Serena Williams made quick work of Flavia Pennetta 6-1, 6-1 in their exciting second-round match in Key Biscayne, Fla. 6|16 Matt Dunham/AP Christie's eggheaded scientific specialist digs into his nifty sub-fossilized pre-17th Century breakfast at the famed auction house in London. Laid by the Elephant Bird (we kid you not), it runs $30,000 to $45,000 (if you like your eggs runny) and packs 1,000 times the omelet power of the standard chicken model. Alas, like the legendary Porridge Bird that according to lore laid its eggs in the air, the Elephant variety is extinct. No yoke. Native to Madagascar and one of the heaviest known birds, scientists believe it died off due to high cholesterol. 7|16 Thomas Lohnes/Getty Images Continuing our series of eggs-citing photos, we find more exotic varieties -- 10,000 in all -- hanging out in Volker and Christa Kraft's apple tree in Saalfeld, Germany. The Krafts got the bright idea to adorn the tree with painted hen's eggs rather than the more problematic kind produced by the Elephant Bird (see previous slide) in 1965 as amusement for their kids and grandchildren, who were easily amused indeed. It now draws thousands of easily amused and no doubt hungry visitors and tourists that Mr. Kraft shoo off his lawn with a shootin' iron. 8|16 Martin Rose/Bongarts/Getty Images Eye can't believe it. The referee stopped the bout in the third round and declared Robert Stieglitz the winner of the WBO World Super Middleweight title at Getec Arena in Magdeburg, Germany. 9|16 Luis Hidalgo/AP If only it were June with a spoon clearly visible, this moon with balloons would have been an unearthly inspiration for poets and lyricists everywhere. As it was, this spectacle honored Chile's soccer team, which deflated Uruguay, 2-0, in their Cup qualifying match in Santiago. 10|16 Michaela Feuereislova-isifa/Getty Images Hey, Czech out those finalists with presenter Libor Boucek at the big beauty contest in Prague. 11|16 Gregory Shamus/Getty Images The most distinctive horn player since Dizzy Gillespie blows up a storm with the Memphis Tigers band during the team's tilt against St. Mary's in the tourney's second round at The Palace of Auburn Hills. The Tigers nearly blew a late lead, but hung to win, 54-52. 12|16 Charlie Riedel/AP La Salle's Jerrell Wright (left), Tyrone Garland (center) and Tyreek Duren (declining) share some yuks or just kick back before practice for their third-round game in Kansas City, where they were to play Mississippi. 13|16 Matt Cardy/Getty Images Radavan Zivny works on his Gollum at this year's Hollywood-themed bash in England. Opening on Good Friday, 20 award-winning sculptors from across this big old globe of ours got down to the gritty business of creating Harry Potter, Marilyn Monroe, <italics>Star Wars</italics> characters and more. 14|16 Andy Mead/YCJ/Icon SMI We can't read Spanish, but we're willing to guess that these Mexican fans outside Estadio Azteca in Mexico City are turning their attention and fervor on the Pittsburgh Pirates after Mexico's national team ground out a dispiriting goalless stalemate with the USA in a CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying Final Round match. Mexico's third straight draw left it fifth in its six-team group and made the Pirates look like a more attractive rooting interest. 15|16 Jan Kruger - The FA/The FA via Getty Images We're running behind, so let us bring the proceedings to an end with this lovely shot of a chap who forgot his trousers when he invaded the pitch during a match between Wrexham and good ol' Grimsby Town at Wembley Stadium in London. 16|16 Next up Extra Mustard On the SI cover on Feb. 2, 2002, LeBron's headband sits about an inch and a half above his eyebrows.

Riverbed Technology ( RVBD) has developed solutions to the fundamental problems associated with information technology performance across wide area networks. This stock is trading up 3.4% at $26.39 in recent trading. Today's Volume: 2.6 million Average Volume: 3.7 million >>7 Hot Stocks on Traders' Radars Volume % Change: 61% Shares of RVBD are moving notably higher today ahead of the company's earnings report which is set for Thursday after the market close. From a technical perspective, RVBD is moving back above its 200-day moving average of $26.69 today on decent volume. This is quickly pushing the stock within range of its 50-day moving average of $27.51. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in RVBD post-earnings if the stock can manage to close over that 50-day with high volume. Look for volume on that move that's near or well above its three-month average action of 3.7 million shares. If we get that action after earnings, then look for RVBD to make a run at $29.50 to $31 or possibly higher. Prev 5 of 8 Next

Republican candidates are crisscrossing South Carolina ahead of the Jan. 21 primary.
For Mitt Romney, it's a chance to clinch the nomination. A third straight victory following the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary would all but coronate him as the man to face President Obama. History is on his side: every candidate who has won South Carolina has gone on to be the party's nominee.
For Romney's competitors, it's a final chance to paint themselves as the Romney alternative. While Romney continues to be the Republican frontrunner, the electorate remains cool towards him, with as many voters saying they'd prefer "someone else" as there are voters supporting him, according to a recent CBS poll.
Social conservative leaders from across the nation will meet in Texas this weekend to try and agree on a Romney alternative to coalesce around.
Despite the lack of enthusiasm surrounding Romney's candidacy, a growing sense of inevitability has brought many in the party to his defense as Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry have have increased attacks against him.
Gingrich and Perry have focused largely on Romney's time at Bain Capital, alleging that he his misrepresenting his time there--portraying himself as a job creator--when in actuality he laid off thousands while filling his own pockets.
Several prominent Republicans have rushed to Romney's defense, accusing Gingrich and Perry of providing Democrats with ready-made attacks on Romney for the general election, as well as contradicting the strong value many Republicans place on free-market capitalism.
"We have a real problem when we have Republicans talking like...Democrats against the free market," South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said Wednesday night during a campaign event for Romney. "We believe in free markets."

Yes Virginia, There Is A Smartphone-Controlled Toilet
A Japanese company recently announced it has such a device. Using a smartphone app, you can flush without touching the handle. You can also raise and lower the seat, and there are built-in speakers.
And now you can consider this. It's our last word in business today: A Bluetooth bathroom. The Japanese are known for being on the cutting edge of tech, and now that extends to the edge of the toilet seats.
A Japanese company recently announced a smartphone-controlled toilet. Yup. Using a smartphone app, you can flush - that means not having to touch the handle at all.
INSKEEP: But wait, there's more. You can also raise and lower the seat of the throne. Raise and lower the seat. You can play music also, by the way, for entertainment through the built-in speakers.
GREENE: Anyone interested in this? Well, we can tell you, it costs a little more than $4,500. So I'm a little speechless.
GREENE: That is the business news on MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. I'm David Greene.
INSKEEP: Flushed with excitement, I'm Steve Inskeep.

Engel: Non-Skill Position Draft Review
Arizona: Offensive tackle Levi Brown might have to earn a starting spot in training camp, but he should do it quickly and will make more of an early difference in the running game than as a pass protector. He should help Edgerrin James post better numbers than James did in 2006 as the Cardinals' running game improves.
Baltimore: Third-round pick Yamon Figurs can contribute to the fantasy defensive/special teams unit right away as an explosive kick returner while easing concerns about the health and off-field issues of B.J. Sams. Fourth-rounder Le'Ron McClain could win the starting fullback job and will help Willis McGahee post the best fantasy numbers of his career over the next few seasons.

We studied the response to UV irradiation in cells from four patients, from three apparently unrelated families, affected by trichothiodystrophy (TTD). They showed all the symptoms of this rare autosomal recessive disorder (brittle hair with reduced sulfur content, mental and physical retardation, ichthyosis, peculiar face) together with photosensitivity. We found a decreased rate of duplicative DNA synthesis in stimulated lymphocytes, reduced survival in fibroblasts, and very low levels of unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) in Go lymphocytes and fibroblasts after UV irradiation. Complementation studies showed that normal values of UDS are restored in heterokaryons obtained by fusion of TTD cells with normal and xeroderma pigmentosum (XP)-complementation group A-cells. In contrast the defect is not complemented by fusion with XP-complementation group D-fibroblasts.

I've got a bit of a weird setup going on right now, and my main desktop computer is without internet.
I've got a macbook (10.7) that can hook up to the desktop via ethernet. What I'm wanting to do is get the desktops internet to go through the mac.
So the request would go:
request for google->goes through local ethernet to mac->mac goes through wifi to the internet.

So I'd like to add - Some of these Glass drawings aren't as polished as I'd like - it's hard to talk, draw and record a video. But rather than delete the drawings that aren't AS good as I'd like, I want to show that it's all a process, and I am still learning and improving. I'm far from perfect, and everything I draw isn't as good as I'd like! But the important thing is I am still trying!
The videos for this will be available very soon on my YouTube page here.

Top UK sailing coaches visit Annandale club
Around 50 young sailors have been taking part in a special youth training academy in Lochmaben.
Sailors from all over Scotland were given top tuition from some of the country's best coaches at Annandale Sailing Club.
Tim Ellis from the Royal Yachting Association Scotland, and Commodore of the Annandale Sailing Club, Stewart Mitchell, explain why sailing is such a fun sport to get involved in:
The Royal Yacht Association Scotland have been touring various clubs around the country to pass on their skills and knowledge, and encourage more people into the sport.

Vern Gosdin: 1934–2009
Country legend Vern Gosdin, known affectionately to his fans as "The Voice," died April 28 at a Nashville hospital at age 74.
The Woodland, Ala., native had suffered a stroke three weeks ago. Vern first found success in the late 1960s in a duo with brother Rex, the Gosdin Bros. In the mid-1970s, Vern began a solo career that would include hits like "Set 'Em Up Joe," "I'm Still Crazy," "That Just About Does It" and the 1989 CMA Song of the Year "Chiseled in Stone." Late last year, he released a box set of re-recorded classics called 40 Years of the Voice. Funeral arrangements have yet to be announced.

Snowshoe has great skiing. The trails are good but they are a bit narrow. The Foxfire grill has great food and the service was great when we were there. Parking is horrible, my advice is to stay at the top of the mountain so you can leave your car where you park it at night and go ski. We stayed at the Inn at Snowshoe at the bottom of the mountain. The accomadations themselves are not too bad considering they are about the only ones that are affordable. My fiance and I stayed at the Inn and even though we felt like the rooms were fine, the staff was not. First off, my fiance is a Doctor and I am a nursing student so we are very busy people with not a lot of free time...this was the only chance we got to take a vacation and we just wanted to relax...we couldn't though. We waited at the Pizza restaurant down the street for 2 hours to get our food. We had no more than walked through our door at the Inn and we recieved a call that there had been complaints about us being noisy, we hadn't even started eating our food and had not been there so we just thought it was a mistake and told them we had just returned and let it go until about an hour later. We left our room to go to the vending machine and as we walked down the hall towards our room we noticed a staff member with her ear against our door. As we neared she turned around and leaned against the door and smiled at us. She obviously didn't think we were the guests staying in that room. As we neared the room she continued to stand there and we had to ask her to move so we could get in. I felt so violated. I don't think that staff should have the right to stand with their ear to your door. There were also police there the entire time just marching the halls. Which made me wonder if something dangerous was going on. I complained about the staff member, and the hotel did nothing, not even apologize. That incident ruined my trip and I was so mad I could hardly stand it. My advice is this 1. DO NOT stay at the Inn if you are family oriented and just want to relax without feeling violated. 2.Do not eat the the pizza place at the bottom of the mountain. 3) Stay at the top and make sure you get a deal that includes your lift tickets. 4) Eat at the breakfast shop across the street from the Inn at Snowshoe, it is the only reasonably priced place to get a decent breakfast and the staff was nice. 5) Make sure you get some sort of a refund if you do not find things to be acceptable, the staff member at our door ruined my entire trip, and I can still not stand the thought of her standing out side our door while we were sleeping.

I enjoy reading biographies, so I decided to buy this one. Tim Tebow lives a dedicated life to Jesus Christ, and it is apparent by his actions as written in this book. I like how Tim stated reasons as to why he has made some of the decisions that he has. It's an excellent read & I'm sure you won't be disappointed!!
its an awesome book i love it.
Enjoyed reading about a young person with his head on straight and his priorities in place. Great example for the youth of our times.
I liked the fact that I had the option to ship the product to the store nearest me with no additional charge. This was not what I did in this case, but in the future I will certainly utilize this option.
I started reading "Through My Eyes" and could not put the book down! I thoroughly enjoyed it.I am a huge fan of Tim Tebow, I followed him through his college career and will continue to watch Tim in all of his endeavors. He is a wonderful young man and is true to his Christian beliefs. From one Gator to another!! Love in Christ.
An absolute must read!! After starting to read could not put down, even read over again...just as enjoyable. An insperation to ALL and that through Jesus Christ all things are possible. After reading you will want to share or inspire others to pick up a copy. God bless you Timmy and all that you have and will continue to do.
Tim is an exceptional athlete and, more importantly, someone who has is prioities right. We need more heroes like Tim instaed of the "me too" ahtletes that kids currently are looking up too. Great read!
I'm a girl and I really liked reading this book. So glad about the price, just right. I just wished it would have been signed by Tim Tebow. I think I will see if you have the CD to go with it on line.
This was a gift to my step-son and he loved it. He is a Denver Broncos fan and he wanted the book. I had a hard time finding it, but it was worth it.
Definitely a must have in OUR collection!

Patients should be counseled that antibacterial drugs including Pfizerpen (penicillin g potassium) should only be used to treat bacterial infections. They do not treat viral infections (e.g., the common cold).

England seek silverware
England are determined to concentrate on cricket not confrontation as they attempt to claim a significant victory over Australia and lift the NatWest Series Trophy at Lord's.
After several days of media hype about the meeting between the Ashes rivals at Edgbaston, when Simon Jones' accidental throw into the chest of Matthew Hayden prompted the first flashpoint of the summer, both sides prepare for Saturday's tournament finale far more intent on silverware.
It is eight years since England last beat Australia to win a trophy - when they claimed a 3-0 Texaco Trophy success - and confidence is high within the home dressing room they may be about to end that drought.
But to achieve such an important and timely triumph, particularly with the opening npower Ashes Test starting at Lord's in less than three weeks time, England are aware that it is cricket skills which will settle the contest in front of a capacity Lord's crowd.
"We're just going to try and play the cricket we have done over the last couple of years,'' stressed captain Michael Vaughan.
"The fact is we've been aggressive, but we've been controlled as well.
"We haven't let our emotions on the pitch affect our performance and that's the crucial aspect - you can't get drawn into these confrontations if you want to beat them.
"It's important we keep doing our basics right and get up for a big challenge. Looking at the way the team has practised and the way they've responded to big challenges over the last year, I know they'll be excited.
"When you have two good teams you want to be hearing about the batting, the bowling and the fielding - you don't want to be reading or hearing about confrontations and issues other than the game of cricket.
"Tuesday's match was blown out of proportion. Little things like that have happened in many games over the last year or so and haven't received as much publicity, but just because we're playing Australia it gets a lot of publicity.
"If it gets fiery it's important you don't step over the line and keep playing in the right spirit. Both teams are very competitive and there's bound to be the odd confrontation, but as soon as the game finished the other day most of it was forgotten and we're all looking forward to this final.
"Australia are a good team that play it hard and it's important you play well against them and in your own manner. Not everyone is fiery and aggressive and I certainly wouldn't want anyone to go out there to be like that if they haven't done it before."
Vaughan was at least pleased with the unity displayed by his side to support Jones during the incident with Paul Collingwood and Andrew Flintoff both having words with Hayden in the aftermath - a clear indication England are no longer intimidated by Australia.
"I've always said you stick together as a team,'' explained Vaughan.
"I don't expect every player to cause a big confrontation out in the middle because that's not the game of cricket.
"You do the talking with the bat, the ball and when you're out there in the field. I'm sure it makes decent television, but I don't go out to promote the fact that you have to provoke confrontations in the middle."
The best way for England to assert their authority at Lord's will be to perform with an intensity similar to that they displayed during their stunning 100-runs triumph over the Aussies in the inaugural Twenty20 match at the Rose Bowl.
Since that stunning triumph it has been one win each, with Kevin Pietersen's stunning unbeaten 91 winning England the match at Bristol, while the world champions ran out winners in Durham.
England are expected to name the same side that faced Australia in the wash-out at Edgbaston with Simon Jones claiming the final seamer's role, while Pietersen is expected to continue in his new spot at No 4 to determine whether he can dominate the game from higher up the order.

AbstractThis proposal is submitted under the Innovative Tools and Techniques Supporting the Practical Uses of Earth Science Observations topic. We seek to create a prototype rangeland decision support system that links remote sensing based rangeland products, a soil biogeochemical model and web-based tools for data mining, data management and product visualization. The resulting decision support system will be unique and innovative by not only providing operational remote sensing observations of rangeland condition, but also web-based tools that utilize these observations to provide critical information on soil fertility/productivity, greenhouse gas emissions, and potential erosion and sedimentation. Our Rangeland Decision Support System (RDSS) will build off of existing RANGES and DNDC tools. Landsat and MODIS prototype processing algorithms for rangeland condition (height, forage production, fractional cover) have been developed under the previous RANGES project and Phase I. The result of this Phase II project will be a series of web data management tools and a prototype RDSS for Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed and Santa Rita Experimental Range regions in Arizona.

Apichart Weerawong, Associated Press
BANGKOK — For thousands of well-off childless couples, the dream of having a baby is often realized in places like Thailand and India. Ready to help them are young women who become paid surrogates, their wombs offered up as vessels that can safely carry the babies until they are born.
Most of the time, it's a bargain that suits both parties — unless something goes wrong.
The case of an Australian couple accused of abandoning their baby with his Thai surrogate mother after discovering the child had Down syndrome — and taking home his healthy twin— has cast unfavorable light on the largely unregulated business of commercial surrogacy.
The suggestion that the Australian biological parents wanted to raise only the healthy child and left behind her blond, brown-eyed brother, who also has a congenital heart condition, sparked outrage worldwide.
"There is a dark side to this business," acknowledged a Thai employee of the agency that arranged the deal involving the baby. Surrogate Pattaramon Chanbua, a 21-year-old food vendor with two young children of her own, says she has not been paid the full $9,300 fee she was promised.
"(But) most of the time I have seen happiness," said the woman, who asked not to be identified because it might jeopardize her job.
Couples seek surrogacy away from home mainly for legal and financial reasons. Some nations tightly restrict surrogacy, or ban it outright. Others have no surrogacy laws, though national medical boards often deal with it in their codes of ethics.
Laws vary widely, and there is no guarantee that a contract — or the child resulting from the arrangement — will be recognized in another country. In the U.S., some states forbid commercial transactions and stipulate that any contract for a surrogate birth is unenforceable. Other states, including California and Illinois, are receptive to commercial surrogacy and have regulations to help enforce agreements.
In Thailand, wealthy couples from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Australia — where commercial surrogacy is banned — are major customers, said Nandana Indananda, a Bangkok-based lawyer who headed a project to draft a Thai surrogacy law which was submitted Thursday to the country's military junta for consideration.
Contributing to Thailand's popularity is the large number of impoverished women who will carry babies for a price, and the availability of doctors with good reproductive medical skills, Nandana said.
India has also emerged as a major center for low-cost surrogacy thanks to its skilled doctors, medical infrastructure and vast population of poor women willing to act as surrogates. A full-term surrogate pregnancy normally costs $18,000 to $30,000 in India, doctors say, with about $5,000 to $7,000 going to the surrogate.
India legalized commercial surrogacy in 2001, but has just a handful of regulations governing the $1 billion-a-year industry. Among them is a 2012 mandate that prohibits some people — including gay couples, single men and women, unmarried couples and couples from countries where surrogacy is illegal — from hiring a commercial surrogate in India.
Rights activists say the absence of regulations has led to widespread exploitation.
"Women who miscarry are not paid anything at all in many cases," said Ranjana Kumari, director of the New Delhi-based Centre for Social Research. "Instead, the agents try to shift the blame to the woman and tell her it is her fault that she has miscarried."
Manasi Mishra, author of two government-funded reports on surrogacy in India, said many women have been cheated by agents and clinic owners and received a fraction of what they were promised.
Still, for many surrogates, the payments can mean a new house or better education for their children, with the money often more than they could save in a decade, Mishra said.
