Snapshot Issue 35 June 2007
Here is the tale of a protein whose name turned out to be premonitory. Shortly before the closing of the last millennium, the fused toe of mice led to the discovery of a gene which was subsequently baptised Ft for fused toe. A mutation in Ft disrupted the activity of a certain number of other genes, one of which was surprisingly large, and consequently named FATSO.
Almost a decade later, two laboratories demonstrated that the human FATSO counterpart is actually involved in child and adult obesity The fact that a gene plays a part in obesity some way or another is no real scoop. A number of proteins have been known to do so for years already. However, what is special with fatso protein is that research has shown that there is a direct link between FATSO carriers and obesity predisposition.
Following studies on thousands of individuals lean and obese it has been demonstrated that carriers of a particular fatso variant are two times more prone to obesity than their peers and weigh on an average 3 kg more. Furthermore, those carrying two copies of the variant have a 22% chance of gaining more pounds than is healthy for them.
Despite fatso proteins obvious association with the accumulation of flab, its function and 3D structure remain a mystery. No one knows how it proceeds to make people fat. However, the discovery of a direct link between a gene and obesity makes fatso something to take seriously. Indeed, besides being at the heart of aesthetics that are not popular in this day and age, obesity is also the cause of a number of ailments such as cardiovascular diseases, certain forms of diabetes and even types of cancer. And millions of people are suffering from it world-wide.
Protein fatso, Homo sapiens (Human): Q9C0B1

I would love an Aga. A proper Aga has hot plates rather than burners and will run the central heating and hot water too, hence the hefty price tag. Alas, my kitchen is too small as is my bank balance!
I'm in love.
We rented a home with an Aga that had 4 small ovens. There was no way you would ever be able to roast a turkey or even bake a large casserole in any of the compartments. I don't understand the appeal!
Not all Agas have multiple small ovens. The one I used had one big and one large.
The best toast ever is made in a contraption you leave under the lid of an Aga burner.
I grew up with a four-oven AGA and it was great, but it's a completely different way of cooking. The stove is always on, and you have to choose the proper oven and where to put the dish in that oven in order to hit the right temperature, so all recipes have to be adjusted for AGA cooking. In the process you end up forming kind of a bond with your AGA , I guess because it's more intuitive cooking. It definitely becomes the center of your kitchen.
I don't have an Aga, but I have an Esse, which is pretty much the same thing. Esse has been around as long as Aga and costs about the same. Our Esse is from the 1950s and we're currently in the process of getting it looked at so I can cook with it, and I got excited to see it profiled here!
I grew up with the AGA and it had 4 ovens and a hot water coil that generated steam for the warm water boiler which provided water throughout the house, we had that stove since 1948 and up to 2001, we had 3 conversions from coke to oil and from oil to gas, it was working perfect!
I moved out of the house when my mother passed away I shut down the stove ....... then the soul of our family house was gone! and the new owners didn't want it so we gave it away to friends who use it on their farm still providing the needed heat for water and cooking! Viva AGA!
I can see how Aga Appliances thrived to be one of the best brands not just in Uk but in the whole world as well. :) Cool.

HI everyone im new to this so let me try it out . Im in need of a good double stroller thats not too heavy , I have a son who just turned 1 on june 21st and im 6 months pregnant with a girl . ive been looking into the britax b ready 20212 edition and the city mini double stroller . the britax is a little heavy but im willing to give that up if its really good . any suggestions on which stroller is better or do you own a double that you really love and would recommend me . thanks
I wish i could help. I'm in the market for a stroller myself. Not a double though. I'm thinking of a jogging stroller since my fiance and i are trying to get back into our previously adventurous lifestyle.
I know a lot of people who love their City Mini double joggers. It seems to be a popular one. Of course, the BOB joggers are always a hit but they are pretty expensive. Sometimes you can find some at consignment stores or Craigslist. I just bought a Kelty double jogger and it is SUPER light and collapses very easily. I haven't used it yet - as our second isn't due till August but I love the overall design just from playing around with it. Anyway - good luck!
I have yet to find a double stroller that fits "ALL" needs. Tandems are perfect for the mall and stores that have narrow aisles but they can be heavy and difficult to maneuver. Side by sides are awesome with swivel wheels and great for trips to the park, zoo etc.. but won't fit in stores. Good luck! I used a combination of strollers and front carriers too!
smv912012, City Mini double joggers is really good.
I'm looking for a double stroller as well. I've heard really good reviews about the double joggers. I currently have a single jogger and love it!
Hi, I too am looking for a stroller for twins, I have been looking at the Baby Jogger range, at the moment I'm comparing the City select (stadium seating) & the City Mini GT (side by side); I like that both have wheels that can handle trail power walking; has anyone had any experience with any of these?

Third-party certified process in February 2011. Crossville became the first tile manufacturer to achieve certification of its waste recycling programs through Scientific Certification Systems, an independent third party certifier of recycled claims. Crossville has two primary means of recycling waste that would otherwise be sent to local landfills: its EcoCycle Fired Waste Process™ and its EcoCycle Filtrate Waste Process™. SCS has verified that through these recycling processes, Crossville recycles nearly 12 million pounds annually of previously discarded filtrate and fired waste. Both the EcoCycle Fired Waste Process and the EcoCycle Fired Waste Process were officially named SCS Certified Recycling programs in February 2011.
Current Waste Management Processes - Flow Chart
Former Waste Management Processes - Flow Chart
At Crossville, we put our name behind every product we sell. That's why we have developed the EcoCycle Tile Process™ logo, which will be shown in conjunction with products containing recycled content. Tile containing a specified minimum amount of recycled content will be designated with a percentage shown in the logo. In addition, this logo will specify the nature of the recycled content, such as pre-consumer or post-consumer.
Recycled Products
Crossville became the first tile manufacturer to achieve certification of its waste recycling programs through Scientific Certification Systems, an independent, third-party certifier of recycled claims. And every product made at our facilities is certified because the entire manufacturing process has gained SCS Certification, known as EcoCycle Tile Process™ Crossville continues to drive sustainability into the mainstream as its has since 1986.

In our efforts to preserve the environment, Crossville has partnered with TOTO USA, the world's largest plumbing products manufacturer to recycle pre-consumer waste. Crossville has developed a proprietary system of processing TOTO's sanitary ware waste back into powder used in manufacturing new tile.
In March 2011, Crossville became a net consumer of waste, meaning we recycle more waste into new products than we generate through our manufacturing processes.
This recycling conserves resources; the volume of finished goods Crossville ships now exceeds the amount of raw material it extracts from the earth for use in manufacturing.
In order to minimize our impact on the environment, Crossville goes beyond offering recycled products. Crossville's sustainable operational procedures include:
- Printing of marketing materials at Forestry Stewardship Council certified facilities; use of soy inks and recycled paper whenever possible.
- Packaging of samples, merchandising materials and piece goods with recycled/recyclable wrapping and cushioning.
- Companywide recycling program for all office and production facility paper and plastic waste. With no formal recycling effort in the surrounding county, employees are encouraged to bring their recyclables to work for collection.

With Halloween just around the corner, it is quite tempting to get into the spirit by matching your outfits with the season. While it can be a little tricky, you can still pull off a Halloween-inspired wardrobe without necessarily making it too "costume-y." One great idea is to add a touch of Gothic fashion to your daily wears, such as lace. Opt for white to: a) stand out, because everyone else will do their Goth style in black; and b) establish that you aren't Amy Lee. Modcloth offers numerous white lace dress options for you, all at $50 and below.

Well I know some questions have popped up about the three new lines being offered by BMW as options on the new F30 3-Series. I myself had quite a few questions, and here is a breakdown of what these lines are all about.
First and foremost, these lines are not the only 3 cars we can choose from. A 3-Series can be ordered as is and optioned how you want to option it, just as has always been with a BMW. These 3 "Lines" are just extra options on top of what is normally offered. I tend to think of them as just an extra package, akin to a sports package, except that the package contains many more stylistic elements. Another way to think of them would … CONTINUED

As part of the ongoing coverage of the live 3-Series reveal event, we have updated our galleries of the 3 main lines of the new 3-series, namely the Sport Line, Modern Line and Luxury Line. We also have an array of photos that were presented which we were able to photo and get our dirty mits on.
The onslaught of photos, videos and information continues! We've gotten our hands on a slew of new videos showing all three lines of the new 3 (Modern Line, Sport Line and Luxury Line), inside, outside and driving. More then you could ask for

The sixth generation of the BMW 3 Series Sedan, the world's best-selling premium car, sets new benchmarks in terms of sporting prowess, elegance and comfort. The pioneering history of the 3 Series serves as inspiration for the new sports sedan, whose powerful styling represents a fresh interpretation and conscientious development of traditional BMW design cues. The new BMW face, with flat headlights reaching along as far as the BMW kidney grille, emphasises the elegantly dynamic design of the new BMW 3 Series. The sixth generation of the 3 Series has grown in size compared to its predecessor, with its wide track (front + 37 mm, rear + 47 mm) particularly prominent, and the car's increased length (+ 93 mm) and augmented wheelbase (+ 50 mm) also … CONTINUED

Antwanette Denise Dennis is charged with attempted murder with a deadly weapon causing substantial bodily harm for allegedly trying to stab and burn her boyfriend early Saturday morning. Reno police officers were summoned to 2745 Wrondel Way #E at about 2 a.m. on the report of a battered victim. Upon arrival, they found the victim inside with a stab wound to the chest and severe burns. The victim claimed that he had been in an argument with his girlfriend, Dennis, when he fell asleep for an undetermined amount of time. He later woke up to find himself suffering from severe burns and a stab wound to his chest. When he was found by a neighbor who called the police, the stab wound on his chest had been bandaged and he was wrapped in a blanket. It is believed that the victim was left lying in the residence for an unknown amount of time.
Anyone with information about this incident, or the timeline of the defendant between Friday and Saturday, is requested to contact the Reno Police Department Robbery/Homicide Unit at 334-2188 or Secret Witness at 322-4900, online at www.secretwitness.com or text a tip to 847411 (TIP 411), keyword "SW."
The victim remains hospitalized, but is expected to survive.

Some local residents thrive in extremely cold weatherFargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- While most of us cringe at those low numbers, there are some who thrive in extremely cold weather.
By: Becky Parker, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- While most of us cringe at those low numbers, there are some who thrive in extremely cold weather.
After a mild start to the winter, a few people are adjusting to the bitterly cold. Afterall, it's common January temperatures.
We all know this feeling, the bite of old man winter has most of us speed walking from our cars to indoors - trying to get out of the bitter cold…
But not everyone, Alexander Wagner and his son Ahren chose bicycles for their transportation to church.
Alexander Wagner/biking home from church: "It just makes me feel much better than just driving in a car. I like to go out and exercise a little bit. You go out sledding or do stuff like that, so why not biking? It works just as well."
The cold weather kept many inside, but for some it is just like any other day. As long as the wind isn't blowing and the sun is out - it's a nice day to be outside.
David Mertz/Perham, MN: "I have the North Dakota attitude. As long as you live here, I say, "bring it on!" I say, "get colder!" If we're going to live here, it might as well get cold so you can do all the North Dakota things like ice fishing and snowmobiling."
While some may thrive in the extreme cold, on the middle of a Sunday afternoon, only a few were brave enough to go out in the below-zero temperatures and hit the sledding hill.
With the right attitude, and the right clothing, even the coldest winter day can't keep these people inside.
Wagner: "It's brisk out, but if you dress right... and if you really cycle, you can always move this up if you get to cold. But it's not too bad if you put enough layers on."
Like John said, the coldest is yet to come, so bundle up tonight.

While the lip gloss is great, it does not create the plumping affect that was hoped. Nice gloss, nothing special.
This isn't anything special but it is a nice lip gloss, stays in place and isn't too shiny. The little bit of shimmer is really pretty! Helps to pull a look together without looking over done.
I enjoyed this product. I really feel that my lips became fuller. Plump up my lips and hydrates at the same time . I do endorse this product! It could be better tasting.
This product is very good and I love the gold flakes in it! My only complaint is that the gloss is a little bit too thick so sometimes your lips stick together.
I was super excited for this one, but totally bummed when I used it. The little gold flecks are much more noticeable than I thought they be (and if you want that, great - but I didn't), and it tastes HORRIBLE. I know, this isn't to breakfast or anything, but if you are putting it on your lips, you are going to end up tasting a little. It also had this super weird reaction with all of my lipliners and lipsticks (multiple brands), and looked terrible and turned them super light. To top it off - the packaging isn't functional. It oozed thick lip gloss all over the place. Not impressed, and not a fan.
I am a loyal Mac Lipglass fan. And perhaps I've been spoiled by the thickness and color palette of the Mac lipglosses. When I got the little sample of Secret Agent lipgloss in my Birchbox, I thought I'd give this company a try. I ordered 3 lipglosses. The descriptions made them sound amazing (real gold flakes in the gloss).....but in reality, I've bought better lipglosses at Forever 21 for $1.80. These lipglosses are thin and I will never buy one again.
I really like this lip gloss. It works by itself or over lipstick. It smells good and has a great shimmer to it. The only drawback is that I wish it lasted a little longer.
I really, really wanted this product to work. It tastes great, has a pretty shimmer, and it's light-weight and non-sticky. Since it has so many pros I use it as a normal lip gloss and just don't expect plumped lips.
I was so excited when I tried this lip gloss!! It gave shine without color! It lasted for a couple of hours too!!
I used my Birchbox points to order this product I am obsessed with lip products. I love the way it feels, not too think & not too thin. This product smells amazing and makes my lips soft all day I have even been able to skip my nightly routine of a chapstick at night. This will remain one of essential beauty products.

(AP) -- Suburban Philadelphia county officials will appeal a Pennsylvania judge's order stopping a court clerk from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
The brief Tuesday statement by Montgomery County Solicitor Ray McGarry gave no indication of what the appeal would say. He said he'd file the appeal to Thursday's ruling in the next several days on behalf of Bruce Hanes, the register of wills.
Hanes maintains that Pennsylvania's 1996 law that says marriage is between a man and a woman is unconstitutional.
But Commonwealth Court Judge Dan Pellegrini ruled that Hanes had no power to decide whether the law is constitutional or not.
The state Health Department under Republican Gov. Tom Corbett took Hanes to court after he began issuing licenses to same-sex couples in July.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

OURAY COUNTY – Are you ready to play dirty? The second annual Ouray County Mud Fest takes place this Saturday and Sunday, April 27 and 28, at the Ouray County Fairgrounds. The festival, sponsored by the Ouray Chamber Resort Association and the Ridgway Area Chamber of Commerce, provides bountiful opportunities for locals and visitors to compete and play in the abundance of glorious Ouray County mud.
There will be 4X4 competitions on a custom-built obstacle course and 30-foot-long mud pit, freestyle motocross demos, a high-octane NSPA-sanctioned truck pull, plus the inaugural Mud Fest 5K, mud volleyball, mud tug o' war, mud horseshoes and a host of clean and dirty kid-friendly activities including a giant bouncy house. There will even be a shower tent where you can rinse the mud off (with warm water!) before heading home.
Thunder Mountain raceway, which emcees the event, will be bringing in about half a dozen race cars that will be on display throughout the weekend, and offer half-price entry to its own events all summer long to Mud Fest attendees who show their wristband.
Organizers say it will be the largest event ever to hit Ouray County. That goes for the projected size of the crowd, which could number in the thousands (organizers have ordered 5,000 tickets for the event: 3,000 for Saturday and 2,000 for Sunday), as well as the size of the machinery that will be roaring through the mud at the Ouray County Fairgrounds. Sunday's highly anticipated truck pull sponsored by Alpine-Offroad could see up to 50 semi-sized behemoths.
Over the past week, the fairgrounds arena has been transformed into a squelchy, swampy obstacle course in preparation for the 4X4 assault this weekend.
"The course is coming along," said Ouray Chamber Resort Association board of directors president Tamara Gulde approvingly on Tuesday this week. "It will be ready." Gulde, who is herself an avid and fearless 4X4 enthusiast, will be heading down to the fairgrounds with some friends on Friday for a test run.
While pre-registration for the 4X4 events has been on the slow side, Gulde said that she and her fellow Mud Fest organizers are not concerned. "We know a lot of people are coming," she said. The Mud Fest Facebook page is sloshing with enthusiasm from 4X4 groups across Colorado and neighboring states, and the radio airwaves in Montrose, Grand Junction and beyond are bogged down with news of the event.
It is important to point out that the Ouray County Mud Fest is an all-weather event. That means, it's going to happen – "snain" or shine. Luckily, the weekend forecast calls for warm, sunny weather – and plenty of mud.
It all gets underway this Friday night at the Mud Jam Ball, a pre-registration bash held at the Ouray Community Center from 4-8 p.m. Dance to live music with the David Starr Band of Cedaredge, and take advantage of the chance to pre-register for the 4X4 Mud Fest events and Sunday morning's inaugural Mud Fest 5K, a fun foot race that concludes with a slog through the mud at the fairgrounds. Plus, there will be door prizes and other promotional products from both regional and national off-road accessory vendors, and a chance to buy raffle tickets for this year's OCRA raffle jeep.
Entry to the Mud Jam Ball is $5 for adults and children are free. Beer and wine will be available for purchase with proceeds benefiting the second annual Mountain Air Music Series.
Advance tickets for the 2013 Ouray County Mud Fest are available at the Ouray Visitors Center and the Ouray County 4-H Event Center at the fairgrounds in Ridgway, as well as at Friday's Mud Jam event. A detailed schedule of events happening at the fairgrounds on Saturday and Sunday is available on OCRA's website, ouraycolorado.com.
Mud Fest organizers are still looking for more volunteers to fill three-hour slots this weekend particularly on Sunday. To sign up, call OCRA at 970/325-4746 or visit volunteerspot.com to pick out an assignment. Three hours of volunteering earns you a t-shirt and a ticket to attend one day of the event.

Mud Fest 5K
The 2013 Ouray County Race Series has a new addition: the Mud Fest 5K. The inaugural race takes place this Sunday morning, April 28, bright and early at 8 a.m., kicking off the day's festivities at the Ouray County fairgrounds.
This fun, scenic point to point course begins at Hartwell Park in downtown Ridgway and ends at the Ouray County Fairgrounds, taking in parts of the Uncompahgre River Trail and Rollins Park along the way.
To be considered for prizes (the trophies are really neat), finishers must slog through a mud pit at the end of the race.
Prizes go to the top five male and female finishers; there are no age groups. The entry fee is $25 in advance and $30 on race day. There will be a registration booth for the Mud Fest 5K at this Friday's Mud Jam Ball at the Ouray Community Center, or register online at ouraycolorado.com.
Now in its third year, the Ouray County Race Series offers a varied menu of seven local foot races from April through October. The entire 2013 series is comprised of the following events:
• April 28 – Mud Fest 5K (Ridgway)
• May 27 – Compassion 5K (Ouray)
• June 15 – Trail Town 10 Miler (Ridgway)
• July 4 – Ourayce 10K (Ouray)
• Aug. 10 – Mt Sneffels Marathon/Half Marathon
• Sept. 28 – Ouray Mountain Trail Run
• Oct. 19 – Rhythm Run 10K/5K
Last year, 12 hardy runners completed the whole series. Runners who complete all seven of this year's events, or who run in six of them and volunteer in the seventh, get an embroidered technical running jacket at the end of the season, said series director John Ferguson.
The Mt. Sneffels Marathon and Half-Marathon, held annually in August is the most popular race in the series; it has grown into quite a destination run, especially since adding a full marathon component several years ago, and may prove even more popular this year with twice as much prize money at stake for both men and women.
Over 200 runners have already registered for this year's event. "The marathon is growing," Ferguson said. "What's cool is that they are coming from all over the U.S. We are pushing 200 entries at this point, and hoping to keep going."
For more information, visit the Mt. Sneffels Marathon website, mtsneffelsmarathon.com, which has a page dedicated to the Ouray County Race Series.

Sloppy, ragged, out of sync. That was the surprising performance taking place Monday in a Western League basketball showdown between Westchester and host Palisades.
A nearly 70-foot shot that was made by Westchester's Tyler Batiste to end the first half tied the score at 31-31 and started to wake up the Comets. By the middle of the third quarter, their shots started to fall, enabling Westchester to secure a 69-60 victory.
"This is one of our worst games this season," Batiste said. "Luckily, we pulled it out. We buckled down on defense, and that helped."
Veteran Coach Ed Azzam, who has won six state championships and 11 City Section titles, is using a five-man substitution pattern this season, and it was his second unit that caught fire in the third quarter for Westchester.
"Our second group has the ability to score in bunches," he said.
Batiste, Cameron Young and Darnell Brown each made a three-pointer in the quarter, with Westchester coming away on top, 46-40. The lead expanded to 58-44 with 5:17 left on a dunk by Elijah Stewart.
Westchester improved to 15-5 overall and 3-0 in league. Palisades dropped to 12-6 and 2-1. It was a missed opportunity for the Dolphins, who made too many turnovers and couldn't get their leading scorer, Ammar Rehman, to break loose after foul trouble. He was limited to seven points.
Aaron Johnson scored 21 points for Palisades. Matthew Grant had 15 points and Batiste and Kevin Rutledge had 10 points apiece for Westchester.
"We played so poorly in the first half defensively and offensively," Azzam said.
But with Westchester's depth, there's always a chance one of 12 players will get hot, and the Comets made five three-pointers in the second half to pull away.
They face another important Western League road game Friday against Fairfax.
As far as his first-half heave, Batiste said, "Time was running out, so I had to put it up. Luckily, it went in."

Dublin: The eviction of the Occupy Dame Street camp
ireland / britain | community struggles | news report Thursday March 08, 2012 21:19 by Andrew Flood - WSM
Last of 2011's Occupy camps in Ireland, cleared - reportage and reflections
The small Garda team 'investigating' what happened at Anglo only includes one forensic accountant. As far as anyone can tell they have yet to get into the computers that were encrypted and which the bank has refused to hand over the passwords for. This certainly tells us whose interests those in power protect and that the Garda will 'just follow orders' even if they are individually included amongst the 99% of us who have been screwed over.
Media coverage of the eviction suggests that it was a fairly low key affair with an overwhelming number of Garda (around 100) compared to campers (about 15) but commentary from the campers and a video interview published by the Irish Times suggests that a significant level of physical intimidation & force was used by Garda. Campers talked of pick axes being used to break into structures while they were still inside and of the seizure of mobile phones, lap tops, clothes, minutes & contact books and even bicycles that were chained on the square. This happened without warning, while people were sleeping. One of the campers said of the police that "they came like volatile bullies & terrorists .. they behaved like animals"
Brief history
The ODS project was always going to face significant difficulites. It arose as a semi-spontaneous gathering in reaction to Occupy Wall Street with very little advance organisation of any kind. This wasn't the first attempt at a camp style protest at the Central Bank, Real Democracy had a small gathering back in July which included a couple of token tents. But this time because of the coverage of Occupy Wall Street a couple of hundred people turned up. The gathering developed into a large speak-out but it was a couple of hours before the first tents were erected. It wasn't clear how the Garda would react to this but by nine in the evening no attempt had been made to clear the protest despite a dozen tents having been erected and an assembly of 150 people was in progress.
The Garda strategy towards the camp turned out to be to tolerate it and in fact be quite co-operative at times towards dealing with external 'trouble'. The location of the camp meant there was a lot of this trouble in the early hours of the morning as its slap bang in the middle of the late pubs and night clubs section of the city. The camp decided to be co-operative with the Central Bank and not to obstruct the entrances to the bank with tents or other structures. So there was little in the way of day to day friction with either the police or the bank.
Many of the camps elsewhere were forced to at least temporally overcome the inevitable differences that will arise when lots of random people come together because they needed to unite to defend their space from an external enemy. And in the process of such a defense bonds of solidarity between people with quite different outlooks are often created. In Dublin though the co-operation with the Garda and the bank left no such eviction crisis and external enemy to unite against. And there was a lot of distrust and paranoia about the organised left, not all of it undeserved.
In the context of an increasingly inwards looking core camping group this left plenty of time to focus on differences within the camp and with potential allies. This, and a general lack of functional decision making mechanisms, made it impossible to develop ODS on a collective basis after the opening weeks. In the opening weeks of November this resulted in a series of fractious General Assemblies (GA) on the issue of whether or not ODS would take part in a march organised by the Dublin Council of Trade Unions. The fact that participation was blocked and the manner in which this happened meant that at the GA where the veto was deployed and in the ten of so days afterwards almost all the people with a collective approach and organisational experience walked away from ODS.
General Assemblies seemed to have stopped happening from the start of December and apart from some odd stunts and a couple of protests the camp retreated behind its fortifications on Dame street. The Garda & Central Bank were probably hoping at this stage that the harsh winter weather would drive out the last campers but with the arrival of Spring they must have been concerned that the camp might be renewed. The annual Patricks day parade was thus deployed as the excuse for why the camp had to leave, with extensive coverage of this 'request' in the media to soften up public opinion.
The camp at Occupy Dame Street last from October 2011 to March 2012, making it one of the longest running such camps in the world. Many, particularly in the US, were violently evicted, sometimes multiple times, before the end of 2011. But leaving aside longevity after the initial buzz Occupy Dame Street did not succeed, and was even counter productive on several levels. The best things to come from it were the projects set up by people initially involved when they departed. It's worth taking some time to consider what caused this failure and what the lessons are for the future. We intend to produce a detailed article next week where the WSM members who were involved in Occupy Dame Street will attempt to do just this.
In the meantime the camp has called a General Assembly at the Central Bank for 6pm this evening to discuss 'where next.'

Message from the C-Suite: Incentives Work!
FICP Profile
Dan Young, CLU, ChFC, LLIF, CMP
Director, Event Planning and Field Recognition, Thrivent Financial
What has FICP membership meant to you?
A: I joined FICP in 1995 just after getting responsibility for the major incentive conferences of Lutheran Brotherhood (which later merged with Aid Association for Lutherans to become Thrivent Financial). That was the beginning of my mentor relationship with Tom Joyal, who taught me about event planning and caring for the customer. Through FICP, I have developed relationships with meeting professionals all over the world. It's an extraordinary career that allows me the opportunity to show how much our company appreciates the hard work and dedication of our financial representatives as they serve our customers and members. FICP programs and resources have helped me to build a team of professional event planners who have an amazing career opportunity.
What are your priorities for your term as FICP president?
Our association's top priorities are being identified now through our annual planning process. My role will be to make sure we stay focused on those plans for the benefit of the membership and HP community. As president, my job is to make sure plans are in place, resources are allocated and aligned, and goals are achieved. With SmithBucklin as our partner, we are one of the most successful associations operating today. We are financially strong, connected to our members and the industry, and in spite of some difficult economic times, delivering value and services to our membership. Though we have seen a drop in total membership, we have not seen a significant drop in companies represented. And we welcomed 51 new members this year (through August).
This is a challenging time to be taking the gavel. How can FICP provide the most value to members?
We can provide the most value to our members by helping them provide the most value to their companies. With education and development opportunities provided by the association that are specific to our industry, we can help planners position themselves as invaluable resources for their corporations. Our department proves on a daily basis that we deliver more value than we consume, to the point that we can prove that with actual event expense savings and delivering quality events that have impact, we cover our department's costs to the organization. Every corporate event-planning department should be able to demonstrate that kind of value. We need to teach our members how to do that. And our hospitality partners need to help us in that quest.
What is your perspective on the future of meetings and incentives in the financial and insurance industry?
I recently surveyed our company's top executives and asked them this same question. The answer came back: "Incentives work!" In light of the economic crisis and perception issues regarding corporate meetings and events, we have had to make adjustments. We have to deliver our meetings and events with the same perceived value, but at a lower cost. I think that is true for everyone. We have to be better stewards of our corporate resources. But we also have to remember that our most important asset is our sales force. We need to reward, recognize, and compensate them well as they take care of our most precious asset — our members and customers. So, we have more to balance these days and more people to answer to as we design meetings and incentives.
We have just been given the green light to start planning incentive events in 2012 and 2013. We have a major annual development event scheduled out to 2014. So, the future for meetings and incentives is bright. Events like these build culture and morale, improve retention, and deliver experiences that become part of the lives of the participants. Is there really an alternative?

Creating a fairer Britain
Parliament gave the Commission the mandate to challenge discrimination, and protect and promote human rights.
We are committed to the vision of a modern Britain where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, and we all have an equal chance to succeed.
A catalyst for change and improvement on equality and human rights.
Our current strategic plan was published on 27 March 2012, find out more about our strategic plan 2012-2015 .
The Commission is a Non Departmental Public Body (NDPB), established under the Equality Act 2006 as a corporate body. Our sponsor department is the Government Equalities Office (GEO). We have a board of Commissioners who steer the Commission's work and direction.
Many of those who worked in the previous equality Commissions joined the new Commission, creating a body with an enormous wealth of experience and knowledge about race, sex and disability equality and discrimination. Many people have since joined the Commission - experts in sexual orientation, age, religion and belief and human rights and people with skills and experience in all relevant functions.
The Commission covers Great Britain i.e. England, Scotland and Wales, but not Northern Ireland. We have offices in London, Manchester, Cardiff, Glasgow and Edinburgh, and a regional presence in 9 offices in England and 1 in North Wales. For details of how to get in touch, see contact us.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission has published a new framework document which sets out its relationship with government and how it operates as an independent Arms Length Body (ALB).
The framework document has been drawn up in partnership with the Department for Media Culture and Sport. It has been developed to be consistent with the provisions of the Equality Act 2006, which enshrines the operational independence of the Commission.
The document details how the Commission operates in areas such as spending controls, recruitment and answering parliamentary questions in way that ensures it is able to fulfil its statutory functions while remaining fully accountable for its corporate performance and use of public funds.

Line Weight
During a phone conversation the other day a friend was inquiring how
to build a shooting head for distance casting. As we discussed the issue
I mentioned that he might find the AFTM table helpful. They measure the
grain weight in the first 30 feet of fly line. The response I got was
"say what?".
|One area that becomes problematic concerns the
tip section which in many cases can be up to 2-feet in length.
Today's rods will handle weight above and below the specific AFTM number. However, placing a line several sizes above or below on the rod will over- or under- load it. To some extent under-loading can be compensated for by aerialising more line outside the rod tip. For example, if you were casting a 6-weight rod with a 4-weight line you would need 10 additional feet of line in the air to properly flex the rod. The problem with this approach is aerodynamics of the line itself. Anyway, that' what AFTM is all about.

Developing a specialised measure of resilience
Wednesday, 15 December 2010
Members of the Lifespan Resilience Research Group are working with members of secau to develop knowledge and understanding of resilience in people who work in a variety of positions that require security clearance. Several conference presentations have indicated that this industry has a strong desire to ensure the psychological safety of its workers and that there is a need for a strength-based approach to recruitment and performance management. There are plans to develop a resilience measure for specific use in this area. This is expected to be a long term project which will involve a range of government and non-government organisations who require their staff to have security clearances.

A Couple of Quick Questions of Authority
He has given it to His Son, to His Son's followers, to leaders, even in a limited way to Satan for a time. But to scripture? Ever?
If not, where do some folks get that idea?
14 comments:
- laymond said...
At least nine times in the New Testament, "for it is written"
- mmlace said...
You know, I've never thought of that before.
Keith, you've just been full of good questions the past few days.
- Keith Brenton said...
Granted, laymond; but does that phrase indicate that scripture holds that authority ... or that it reveals God's authority and will for us?
I counted 59 times the phrase is used. Of those, I can only see about eight in an imperative, "command" phrasing - what God wants FROM us. The rest are promises, predictions or history - what God wants FOR us.
The eight I found are:
Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only. (Matthew 4:10; Luke 4:8)
Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord. (Luke 3:23)
The testimony of two men is required to be valid. (John 8:17)
Do not speak evil about the ruler of your people. (Acts 23:5)
Let him who boasts boast in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 1:31)
Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain. (1 Corinthians 9:9)
Be holy, because I am holy. (1 Peter 1:16)
So what God wants FOR us, or wants us to remember from history, outnumbers what He wants FROM us four-to-one in the places where "it is written" in the New Testament.
Of those nine, how many do we keep as commandments today? "Worship the Lord, and serve Him only," we hear from time to time. If scripture has the authority of God, why do we not obey and preach the rest as command?
But if scripture only reveals the authority of God, is it possible that He has now given ALL of it to His Son (Matthew 28:18-20), who gave it to His followers in order to do His work in this world - guided by scripture and the Spirit who inspired it; empowered by that Spirit to do good works that testify to the goodness of the gospel - yet NOT so that scripture must be constantly referred to as a book of laws which must be interpreted to constantly limit the avenues by which we do those good works or speak that gospel?
So, I guess my next question would have to be, "Did Christ come to bring a new law, or to fulfill the old one when no one else could follow it?" (Galatians 2:16)
- David U said...
Keep going, Keith. Keep going!!!!
- laymond said...
Keith No law written or spoken has authority, unless it is fulfilled/enforced.
- Keith Brenton said...
The New Testament implicitly calls a part of itself "scripture" (2 Peter 3:15-16), but does it ever refer to any part of itself "law," though?
- laymond said...
Keith, I have heard it said that the word "OTHER" was added to what Peter actually said. you might want to look at the original.
2Pt:3:16: As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
- laymond said...
Keith, If the word "Other" was removed from 2:Pt: 3:16 , what other evidence is there that the new testament is "The inspired word"?
loipo--1) remaining, the rest
a) the rest of any number or class under consideration
b) with a certain distinction and contrast, the rest, who are not of a specific class or number
c) the rest of the things that remain
We know that there were words added to what John said to make the "Trinity" more plausable.
- Keith Brenton said...
laymond, I'm not a Greek scholar nor do I play one on TV, but I'll go with Young's Literal Translation (word-for-word Greek to English) on this verse, which includes the word "other."
- TCS said...
NT wright has a great article called "how can scripture be authoritative " it is on his website.
- Keith Brenton said...
And that would be, I think, here.
- preacherman said...
Wonderful post brother as always.
Scripture us the ultimate authority. It is God's story of how much he loves us and wants to have a relationship with us. The Scripture tells has always been relevant to everyday life. It is wonderful to see the extreme love and grace God has for us. The only commandments he wants us to follow in the Bible is about love. Loving God first and loving people second, especially your enemies. It is about treating others with honor and respect as Christ lived.
Keith, I see that we are about to see a 2nd reformation and I am so excited. As ministers and leaders we must understand that society has changed and we need to change the way we do ministry. The message never changes but method must! We are living in or about to live in a post-Christian society. Generations who don't know the Bible, God, Jesus or the Church. We must reach out to these "emerging" generations. We need to be the church of the 21st century not the first century. Lets make a difference now. The way I see it is Christians and the church made a differnce their way and in their own century. I think we shouldn't idolize the first century church and Christians. We need to understand that they were sinners just like us, yet were striving to be like Christ. Lets move on...As Paul tells us in Philippians 3:16-ff "I'm not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out to Christ, who has so wonderoursly reached out for me. Friends, don't get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I've got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward0 to Jesus. I'm off and running and I'm not turning back."
As 21st Century Believers we need to do the same. Lets run the race. Let's enjoy the kingdom now on earth. Let's be as emerging as we can. Striving to get others to run the race with us and enjoy the kingdom. Salvation. On of the best books that I am currently reading is "They Liked Jesus But They Hated The Church" by Dan Kimball. If we go to church and think we have worship God for an hour or in some churches an hour and half and left feeling good with the programs we are missing the point.
In Dan Kimball's book "They Liked Jesus But Not The Church", he says: "Emerging generations don't have a basic understanding of the story of the Bible, and they don't have one God as the predominant God to worship. Rather, they are open to all types of faiths, including new mixtures of religions. No longer are Christian pastors and ministers looked at "good guys" in films and media. MOst church leaders mow actually feel embarrassed to tell people they are pastors. Some even choose titles other than pastor so they aren't dismissed by people outside the church. Some people aren't even comfortable say they are Christian but come up with new terms such as "Christ follower" to avoid negative and distorted associations." p. 15
I want you to know that word is living and active! It has authority for our lives. It changes people to become more and more like Jesus Christ. I believe that yes it is important to know the Bible and know aboutd Jesus. But there is a difference in knowing about than actually knowing.
When I was in the hospital I kept quoting in my mind "I can do all things through God who gives me strength." I started getting better. The first thing I wrote down in occupational therapy was that verse. It was powerful! I could feel it! We need to share the message this emerging generation now! We need to understand the power that we have in us and in his word to change the society instead of society changing us.
God bless you brother you are wonderful influence in my life. You have given me strength and hope that I have needed. I want you to know that they prayers have helped. I still struggle with neuropathy and migraines. That may be my thorn in the flesh but I glory in Christ.
I am sorry this is so long but there is one more thing I want to share is that I as a minister thought I had surrendered my life to Jesus Christ. I hadn't. In ICU I totally surrendered everthy over to him: everything in my life, my family, my ministry, finances, everything. A nurse came in and asked if he could pray for me. I said I would love it. I was having a horrable migraine. He placed his hands on my head and prayed in the SPIRIT. He prayed the world WORD OF GOD OVER ME. He prayed psalm 103:1-3 "O my soul, bless God. From head to toe, I bless his holy name! O my soul, blessed God, don't forget a single blessing! He forgives your sins- every one. He heals your diseases-every one." As he prayed that scripture over me I could feel a supernatural warmth from his hands and going through my body. God was working through his Word and promises.
He continues to heal ever today.
I believe that a 2 restoration is comming to America soon and it is going to be exciting. Let us embrase it. Let us not reject the Holy Spirit and his working in peoples lives through gifts. Let us be missional!
- preacherman said...
Sorry about the mis-spelled words. I am hurting pretty bad right now. But I hope you get my point.
I love you brother.

Preacherman! :-)
- preacherman said...
God bless all you are doing and the topics that you bring out in the open that are so important.
You are always in my prayers brother.
In Him,

Two second-half goals consigned the Blues to defeat this weekend, the stats showing it to be a reflection on the chances created by either side in Manchester…
Manchester City became the first team to prevent Chelsea scoring in the league since QPR in the first match of 2013, and did so by restricting our attempts on goal to nine, of which two were on target.
The home team scored twice from 15 attempts on goal, six of which were accurate. Gary Cahill blocked four shots and was successful in five out of seven clearances.
Yaya Toure, given a more forward and freer role than in some City games, had the game's most shots - four - scoring the opener from his two attempts on-target. Frank Lampard had the most Chelsea strikes, with three - Joe Hart saving his one on-target.
Chelsea had more possession during the 90 minutes than City - 53 per cent - but although our pass completion rate was comparable with our opponents' across the whole pitch, and marginally better in the attacking third, Mancini's men managed 26 more passes in or around our penalty area. These figures do however suggest City were the more threatening team due to counter-attacking rather than sustained pressure.
Rafael Benitez highlighted after the game that Chelsea did not win enough second balls in the first half and in defence, Man City were successful in 17 out of their 20 challenges. City also committed 20 fouls to our five - right-back Pablo Zabaleta whistled up five times.
Ashley Cole down that same flank was fouled twice. The Chelsea left-back managed to get forward with the number of passes he made in the attacking area of the pitch only bettered by one Chelsea player - Juan Mata.
When it came to the defensive side of the game, Cole was our joint-best tackler along with John Mikel Obi. Three out of four were won by both men.
Chelsea players were successful in just under half of our attempted take-ons. Victor Moses, on for the final 20 minutes, beat his man on two out of two occasions.
Looking at two of the slighter players on the pitch, Ramires won the most aerial duals for Chelsea - three out of three - and City's David Silva won the most tackles in the game - succeeding in all five attempted. Silva was involved in creating both goals.
The wings were where Chelsea tried to play forward the most with Branislav Ivanovic passing to Ramires ahead of him, and Cole passing to Eden Hazard more than any other player combinations.

Acoustic Detection of Human Activities in Natural Environments
Automatic recognition of sound events can be valuable for efficient analysis of audio scenes. For example, detecting human activities like trespassing and hunting in natural environments can play an important role in their preservation by alerting authorities to take action. In the proposed system, each sound class is represented by a hidden Markov model created from descriptors in the time, frequency, and wavelet domains. The system has the ability to automatically adapt to acoustic conditions of different scenes via the feedback loop that refines an unsupervised model. A reliable testing process was adopted for assessing the performance of the system under adverse conditions characterized by highly nonstationary environmental noise.
