In summer 2010, a few blocks from Ground Zero, my values were under attack too.
Yet they call themselves Evangelical Christians.In Sacred Ground, Eboo notes the influence of the evangelical masses in American politics, suggesting that "when Evangelicals change, America changes." And in many ways he's right – he cites the Evangelical-led anti-Catholic movement of the 1960 election and draws parallels to present-day islamophobia, which in many ways is led by Evangelical figures.But Evangelicals aren't a hopeless bunch. That's why, on the occasions I've talked to Christians about interfaith cooperation, I often start with a picture of that man standing on Park Place in lower Manhattan, holding the handwritten sign in blue and red marker.And I ask my fellow Evangelicals: "Is this what you believe?"There is a simple, profound reason why it's not what I believe. It's because of relationships. It's because of working with Muslims in my community to do things like feed the hungry and provide healthcare to the uninsured. And there's precedence for this, as Eboo notes: relationships between Evangelicals and Catholics explain the shift that has changed attitudes about Catholicism since the 1960's. But even deeper and more historic than 1960's America is the example of Jesus Christ: the ethic of loving your neighbor.
I'm thankful for the Evangelical leaders who are setting interfaith relationships as a priority for the Evangelical tradition, from Gabe Lyons, who has created dialogue with the Imam behind Park51, to Jim Wallis and the staff at Sojourners. Not to mention Skye Jethani, Nicholas Price, Bob Roberts and many others who are leading the change.
My prayer is that Evangelical Christianity can shed the rhetoric of criticism and judgment and regain a reputation as a tradition centered on relationships, first our relationship with God, then relationships with neighbors of all traditions. This is why, for Evangelicals, all ground is sacred ground: we're called always and everywhere to a tradition of relationships that is as old as the Evangelical tradition itself.
This piece was originally posted on the Interfaith Youth Core's blog.

CRIME writer Val McDermid sponsors Raith Rovers, her home-town team, but it was eye-catching goals from Greg Stewart, Paul McGinn, Peter MacDonald and Martin Boyle whodunnit for Dundee and left the Fifers as victims in this League Cup second-round tie with Grant Murray, their manager, accepting that his side had, indeed, been murdered.
The home side made six changes from the side that beat St Mirren in Paisley at the weekend while Raith, still reeling from their 4-0 home defeat to Hearts on Saturday, offered starts to Kevin Moon and Lewis Vaughan. Their line-up also featured Ryan Conroy and Christian Nade whose last appearances at Dens Park came last May when they helped the Dark Blues to the Championship title.
They were as shocked as their current team-mates, however, when Greg Stewart gave Dundee a third-minute opener with a header from Phil Roberts's corner kick.
Loading article content
The visitors were prevented from equalising moments later as Scott Bain, the home side's stand-in goalkeeper, produced an acrobatic save from Conroy's 25-yard free-kick.
Dundee's passing game was admirable and in Roberts they had a winger with pace and crossing that was incisive and dangerous while Stewart's threat from midfield was evident on several occasions.
Two minutes before the break it was Paul McGinn who impressed, meandering with the ball, almost, before firing home a breathtaking strike from 25 yards.
Raith's hopes were swept away after an hour when Peter MacDonald finished a well-worked manoeuvre, aided by Martin Boyle, who also found the target ten minutes later.
Kevin Cuthbert did some sterling work with a series of save to prevent further embarrassment to Ms McDermid and her fellow Raith disciples.
There was no twist in this story and the only mystery was how Dundee's Iain Davidson managed to reach Mark Stewart's shot and clear it off the line as the Dark Blues kept another clean sheet.

It took 5,905 words to reach the end of the first chapter, and part of me thinks that it wasn't nearly long enough! I can't say I'm writing quickly, because I'm not. An average of 1,476 words each week isn't a whole lot. But, those are words I've forced to fit my schedule and words I've dedicated to writing. That makes every last one of them an accomplishment.
This week was much easier for me. I don't quite want to say Cardeth 'spoke' to me, because my characters don't speak to me. (They aren't voices in my head or anything strange like that. They're just products of my creativity.) But, he was much easier to write this week. All of those little quickly lines and his outbursts came much easier, and I found myself having to erase a lot less telling about his personality than I did last week. He was just easier to work with. I didn't have to think nearly as hard on what his decisions would be. They were pretty obvious. That means I just had to worry about the words, and the words were just easier to write.
I found a lot of time to procrastinate on other things over the course of the day while working on it, and I didn't feel like I was forced to rush as I edited through. All in all, I'm happy with how it turned out.
Chapter one has been an adventure, that much is for certain. The first three weeks were difficult, I'm still acknowledging that. This week gives me a little hope that I can do this without too much stress for the long haul.
For Zero and Cardeth, their stories have truly begun. As their writer, this is a great feeling. There is nowhere to look except forward.
5,905 isn't a whole lot. But, it is enough for me to acknowledge that there is a story here and it is being shared and told. It's a beginning, and while it isn't the best beginning, it's solid enough where I can give it the nod of approval.
It could be even better with proper editing, but that's the price of writing a serial. I did what I could as I had the time for. I just hope that it is enough. I hope that the twists and turns of the story catch your curiosity.
First chapters are hard, and this one was no difference, but the real work begins with chapter two. That is when the beginning fades to the harsh reality that I'm in this for the long haul.
I've learned a lot about writing a serial writing these four small scenes. Here is a glimpse of them:
I've learned that…
There are also some things I've learned that I dislike about writing a serial:
All joking aside, the first chapter was a challenge. I think my writing is gradually improving as I'm forcing myself to try to write an even better story with each and every installment. I'm also being forced to address some problems with my writing style as I go. It's a great learning experience, but like with all other learning experiences, it can be as bitter as it is sweet.
I'm looking forward to finding out what happens along with the rest of you. I hope you keep following Zero and Cardeth in their misadventures.

Farmers of Nangkhor in Pemagatshel gathered to prepare plantation work and to assess management requirements at Kunphen Drongde Nagtshel.
Kunphen Drongde Nagtshel, the year-old 65-acre community forest (CF), is located between Yalang and Khar.
CFs in Pemagatshel are doing well with no major management issues, said the dzongkhag's forest extension officer, Sonam Zangpo. There have been reports from others dzongkhags of serious management issues leading to temporary suspension of formation of new CFs.
One of the oldest CF in the dzongkhag, managed by Shali village in Shumar gewog generated about Nu 210,000.
CFs in the dzongkhags, said Sonam Zangpo, will now be ranked using various parameters to instill a sense of good and healthy competition.
"There is still feeling among people that CFs are solely for economic purpose. There are some CFs that are for watershed protection and others for land reclamations and conservation," said Sonam Zangpo, emphasising the need to educate the people.
"We realized how important it is for our future generations to have a forest that they can call their own because others will not allow encroachment of any kind in their CF," said Cheku a farmer from Shumar village.
Sonam Zangpo said that while the establishment of new CFs is being suspended, it gives the department and sector time to address shortcomings of present CF management rules and regulations and improve by-laws to deal with emerging challenges. There is a need to introduce imposition of a uniform royalty in all CFs. Crucial issue remains as to who should be the one to make hammer marks to prevent unsustainable harvesting of timber.
Another important issue that needs to be resolved at the national level, said Sonam Zangpo, is cross border CFs based on traditional rights. He said that some people in one gewog have traditional rights over part of land in another gewog. This creates establishment of a CF difficult.
In order to enable CF management members to discharge their responsibilities effectively, the sector is in the process of preparing management plans in Dzongkha.
There are a total of 38 CFs in Pemagatshel covering an area of about 2,694.46 hectares of forest land.

Below are reviews of two movies I have recently seen - "RED", which stars Bruce Willis, Mary Louise Parker, John Malkovich, Morgan Freeman and Helen Mirren; and "HEREAFTER", stars Matt Damon:
Double Reviews: "RED" and "HEREAFTER"
Loosely inspired by the three-part DC Comics comic book series created by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner, "RED" told the story about a former black-ops C.I.A. agent named Frank Moses, who reassembles his old team in a last ditch effort to survive a series of assassination attempts on him. Thanks to one member of his team, Marvin Boggs, Frank learns that a mysterious figure is sending both assassins and a C.I.A. black-ops agent named William Cooper to wipe out all members of a secret mission in Guatemala that Frank participated in back in 1981.
"RED" turned out to be a pretty solid action-comedy film that greatly benefitted from veteran cast members that included Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, Brian Cox, Ernest Borgnine and Richard Dreyfuss. The cast also included the likes of Mary Louise Parker, Julian McMahon and Karl Urban. Surprisingly, the only members of the cast that seemed to have a persistent presence throughout the movie were Willis (the main star), Parker, Malkovich and Urban. Everyone else seemed to be making cameo or guest appearances in the movie. Regardless of the amount of time spent in the movie, each cast member gave a first-class performance in the movie. I was especially impressed by Willis as the weary ex-agent who is stimulated back into life at the prospect of learning the identity of the person behind the assassination attempts upon him. Malkovich gave my favorite performance as the paranoid Marvin Boggs, who seemingly ridiculous theories about any potential danger end up being correct. And I also enjoyed Helen Mirren as a former MI-6 assassin Victoria, who seemed just as thrilled as Frank to be back in action.
German-born Robert Schwentke displayed a quirky sense of humor in his direction of "RED". I had expected some humor in the movie, but Schwentke stylized the violence in a way that reminded me of movies like "PAYBACK" or "SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD". Scribes Jon and Erich Hoeber did a solid job in adapting Ellis and Hammer's comic tale. Some fans of the comic novel may have taken umbrage at their loose adaptation. But since I have never read the three comic books . . . . it did not bother me that much. However, I found the showdown inside the Chicago hotel parking garage rather confusing. The overall action did not confuse me, but the main villain's reasoning and personal actions did. This did not ruin the movie for me, but it came damn close. Overall, "RED" was a pretty solid movie, but I have seen better comic films.
Clint Eastwood reunited with Matt Damon for "HEREAFTER", a fantasy drama about three people who are affected by death in different way in parallel stories. Damon portrayed a San Francisco factory worker named George who is able to communicate with the dead. Belgian actress Cécile de France portrayed a French television journalist who barely survived a tsunami, while on vacation. And twin brothers Frankie and George McLaren portrayed Marcus and Jason, an English boy and his elder twin brother, who is killed in a car accident.
I wish I could say that I loved "HEREAFTER", but I would be lying. I did not hate it. I found myself mildly interested in the stories of George, Marie and Marcus. Eastwood and screenwriter Peter Morgan provided enough pathos in their stories – especially Marcus' story – to make me somewhat interested in their fate. "HEREAFTER" had two outstanding scenes that knocked my socks off. One of the sequences centered on Marie's harrowing experiences with a tsunami, which was featured in the movie's opening scene. The other centered on the disastrous ending of a potential romance between George and a fellow cooking school student portrayed by Bryce Dallas Howard, when her curiosity over his ability forced her to face a dark secret from her past. I also found myself moved by Marcus' inability to recover from his twin brother's death. But despite these virtues, "HEREAFTER" did not strike me as one the year's more interesting movies.
The major problem I had with "HEREAFTER" centered on the film's pacing. I found it so damn slow. Really. About seventy minutes into the film, I found myself struggling to stay awake. I thought that Eastwood had finally overcome his penchant for directing slow-moving films. Apparently, I was wrong. Another problem I had with the film was that the three storylines really had nothing to do with one another. Each of the plotlines could have easily been a single episode from an anthology television series about death and the afterlife. The movie's conclusion at a book fair in London held the three plotlines together. And quite frankly, I was not that impressed by it. The plot device that Morgan used to connect the three main characters struck me as incredibly contrived . . . and weak.
If there is one thing I can say about "HEREAFTER" is that it lacked bad performance. The entire cast did a solid job, with one or two outstanding performance. Although they came off as a bit stiff in one scene early in the film, the McLauren brothers did a solid job in portraying the grieving Marcus and his dead twin, Jason. Cécile de France ably conveyed Marie's emotional journey from the successful television journalist, to a traumatized woman, whose near death experience during a tsunami led her to slowly question her existence. Matt Damon gave an excellent performance as George, the factory worker who used to be a professional psychic, thanks to ability to communicate with the dead. I thought he was very subtle as a man desperate to live a normal and not deal with the emotional impacts of his clients' reunions with dead loved ones and the exposures of family secrets. The best performance, in my opinion, came from Bryce Dallas Howard, who portrayed a fellow cooking school student name Melanie, to whom George becomes romantically attracted. She was emotional and superb as her character first goads George into reading her memories and eventually regrets her actions, when he unexpectedly exposes the sexual abuse her father had inflicted upon her as a child.
Like Eastwood's 1997's opus, "MIDNGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL", "HEREAFTER" is interesting enough for someone to watch at home . . . on a rainy day. But its slow pacing, fractured storylines and utterly contrived ending made me realize that I would never consider it a masterpiece, let alone one of my favorite movies.

The Value of Information in a Principal-Agent Model with Moral Hazard: The Ex Ante Contracting Case
We examine a principal-agent model with moral hazard in which the technology – the vector of probability distributions from the agent's actions to the possible outcomes – is initially unknown. A signal correlated with the technology is observed after the principal and agent agree to the contract (ex ante contracting). The signal may be uninformative (null information) or informative and observed only by the principal (private information) or observed by both the principal and agent (public information). We show that: (i) if the principal implements different actions for each signal with private information, then the principal strictly prefers both public to private information and private to null information; (ii) if the principal implements the same action for either signal with public information, then the principal is indifferent between null and private information, which she prefers to public information; (iii) the value of information can be non-monotonic both with private and with public information; and (iv) the value of information may be greater either with private or with public information.

How to Get to Horseshoe Bend From Las Vegas
If you've taken the time and trouble to get to Sin City (aka Las Vegas), it would be a sin not to visit the most iconic entrenched meander on the planet, Horseshoe Bend, and nearby Antelope Canyon. While normally we'd "second that emotion," we wouldn't be doing our jobs properly if we didn't tell you this:
- You'd better like driving – a lot or
- You'd better consider changing up your trip plans slightly, namely, spend one less day in Las Vegas and one more day in Page, Arizona
So, how does a determined traveler get to Horseshoe Bend from Las Vegas? Said traveler has two choices: by driving themselves, or by commercial tour.
To self-drive:
- Take I-15 and proceed Northeast through Mesquite and St. George, UT to Washington, UT. Mileage for this section: 127
- For the next 70 miles of the trip: Get off on Exit 16 to UT-9, which turns into UT-59 near Hurricane, UT, then becomes AZ-389 near Colorado City, AZ. In Fredonia, AZ, take AZ-89A due North Kanab, UT.
- From Kanab, UT, take US-89 East toward Page, AZ. Pass the town and look for the signs for Horseshoe Bend Overlook between Mile Marker 544 and 545. Mileage: 80
- Total trip mileage: 276 Total drive time: 4.5 hours one-way
Because of the relatively long distance and duration of the drive from Las Vegas, NV to Page, AZ, a day trip is feasible, but getting an early start out of Las Vegas is a definite must. This is so you don't have to drive back to Las Vegas at night. Due to the relative dearth of artificial lighting on roads of Northern Arizona and Southern Utah, and the presence of deer and elk in the area, driving after dusk can be nerve-wracking at best, dangerous at worst. A better idea is to modify your schedule so that you can spend a night or two in the nearby town of Page, AZ. There's a lot to see and do here, including, but not limited to: Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon, the Colorado River Discovery half-day float trip, boat tours on Lake Powell, airplane and helicopter flights, scenic hikes in varying degrees of difficulty, and slot canyons galore. Taking the extra time to enjoy Page and Lake Powell more fully is a decision you won't regret. Indeed, most day-trippers end up planning return visits to see everything they missed!
Commercial tours from Las Vegas:
At the present time (September 2017), tours from Las Vegas to Horseshoe Bend are somewhat few and far between. The driving distance is the most likely deterrent for many ground tour operators. However, for those with the gumption to visit Horseshoe Bend on their Las Vegas vacation, but without said gumption to drive themselves, a smattering offerings is out there.
- TakeTours 1-Day Ground Tour includes:
- Transfers from and back to select Las Vegas hotels;
- Transportation to and from to Page, AZ;
- Drive over and possible stop at Glen Canyon Dam;
- Tour of Lower Antelope Canyon;
- Horseshoe Bend Overlook stop;
- Tour duration: 14 hours door-to-door
- Mode of transport: Motorcoach
- Price (subject to change): $120 per person + tax and gratuities
- Add-on Option: Lake Powell plane tour
- Grand Canyon Tours 1-Day Tour includes:
- Pick-up at Hotel
- Breakfast stop at Mesquite, NV
- Rest stop in Kanab, UT
- Glen Canyon Dam drive-over
- Page AZ lunch stop
- Tour of Lower Antelope Canyon (admission included in price of the tour)
- Horseshoe Bend
- Navajo Bridge
- Evening meal stops at guide's discretion
- Unlimited bottled water
- Drop off at Hotel
- Tour duration: 15 hours door-to-door
- Mode of transport: 7-passenger van
- Price (subject to change): $149 + tax & gratuities
- Viator Private Overnight (2-days/1-night) Tour to Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Lake Powell and Zion National Park includes
- Pickup at Las Vegas Hotel
- Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell Photo Stops
- Navajo-Guided tour of Antelope Canyon, 1.5 hours
- Escorted walk to Horseshoe Bend Overlook
- Overnight in Page, AZ hotel
- Big Water, UT Dinosaur Center stop
- Escorted walk in ZionNational Park
- Las Vegas Hotels return transfer
- Private driver/Professional guide
- All park entrance fees
- Meals per itinerary (B,L)
- Trip duration: 2 days, 1 night
- Transport vehicle: varies
- Price (subject to change): $2995 for up to 4 people
The above-referenced trips are only run on certain days of the week and may have a minimum passenger requirement (usually 4) to guarantee operation, which is usually on a "weather permitting" basis as well.
At this time, only one tour company is offering a Las Vegas – Horseshoe Bend flight tour option with limited seating, but it is out there for those with a big enough vacation budget for it. Scenic/Grand Canyon Airlines Private Antelope Canyon Expedition includes:
- Roundtrip shuttle service to/from Boulder City Municipal Airport from most major Las Vegas hotels
- Exclusive fixed-wing airplane service to Page/Lake Powell, Arizona
- Amazing aerial views of Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, Vermillion Cliffs, Glen Canyon, and a Horseshoe Bend flyover
- Guided tour of legendary Antelope Canyon
- Guided hike to the Horseshoe Bend Overlook
- Light lunch
So, how should you get to Horseshoe Bend from Las Vegas? In the opinion of this site's administrators, countless local residents, tourism professionals and folks who've 'been there and done that,' driving yourself always offers the most freedom and flexibility to enjoy not only Horseshoe Bend, but everything the Page/Lake Powell area has to offer. Do everything you can to stay here for a day or more. 10 hours is a long time behind the wheel! Then again, that charter plane tour sounds pretty sweet.
If you do decide to take one of the tours we described – or even one we didn't mention – we'd love to hear about your experience. We heartily encourage you to post a tour review or other feedback here, or on other popular travel and consumer sites such as TripAdvisor, Yelp, TourRadar, and those old stalwarts, Facebook and Twitter.
Til next time, happy traveling!

A Georgia teen's boyfriend asked for a Bible for Christmas, so she spent three months annotating and illustrating one for him, WATE-TV reported.
According to WATE, Reagan Lee spent three months writing in every page of a Bible for her boyfriend. She wrote notes for him, highlighted some of her favorite verses and illustrated passages she finds particularly meaningful.

JEREMY HOBSON: All the unsettling economic news this week has investors seeking shelter -- and some are finding a safe place in currencies like the Swiss Franc and Japanese Yen. But, that's not causing smiles in Zurich and Tokyo.
As Marketplace's Eve Troeh explains.
Eve Troeh: The Euro is supposed to be first runner-up, where investors turn when the dollar's weak. But with Euro nations deep in debt, it's not looking great. Eswar Prasad is an economist at Cornell University.
Eswar Prasad: So there is a desperate search by investors for some safe place to put their money.
You might think other countries would be giddy,
like if the second, or third runner-up got to step in for Miss America. But, no. Prasad says when big foreign investors flock to smaller nation's markets:
Prasad: Those markets take a huge jump and then people get nervous about whether those are getting overvalued.
Everyone knows they're just fill-ins while the dollar and Euro "fail to fulfill their duties."
Right now, Switzerland and Japan are the go-tos. Switzerland, because it's in Europe, but has its own currency. Japan, because it's a big, independent economy and, since the tsunami, has nowhere to go but up. But as the Swiss franc and the Yen rise in value:
Brian Dolan: Their products become much less competitive and it also reduces the amount of earnings on those exports.
Brian Dolan is chief currency strategist at Forex. He says the Swiss and Japanese are uglifying their currency -- cutting interest rates, loaning more money to look less safe.
Andrew Hilton at the Center for the Study of Financial Innovation says they're also "jawboning." That's when bankers warn investors to stay out, or else.
Andrew Hilton: I will link the Swiss franc to the Euro. That will screw you all. Well, it's a most unlikely threat.
Because that would hurt Switzerland as well.
I'm Eve Troeh for Marketplace.

It is really scary to even think for a moment that you will get bald one day and so for those who are actually bald are going through the kind of pain which cannot be even measured. Whether you believe or not but the fact of the matter is that more and more people are losing hair these days due to different reasons like hereditary, hormonal changes, unhealthy eating habits and so on. This can get worse when you don't take care in the initial stage and later on when you realize it's too late.

The results of transplants are normally seen best after 6 months to 9 months of the procedure, this is when the hair follicles gets adjusted and starts growing hair the same way as they were in the extracted area. Later on it is very normal to cut and trim your hair the way you want to. These hairs can also be dyed and styled according to your likes; as there is no harm in doing so. Practically if you go to see hairtransplants side effects and disadvantages will be nil if it is done with the right technique, skillful surgeons and also after doing the required pre-surgical tests and at the right place.

Since its establishment in 1993, the centre has supported hundreds of students of all ages, mostly between four to 16 years old, to achieve more, gain a love of learning and have the motivation to learn on their own.
The Ealing Broadway Study Centre currently supports over 140 students to develop best possible learning skills for the maths, English or Kokugo programmes (Kokugo is a programme designed for children whose native language is Japanese), with a well-experienced, friendly and dedicated team of assistants who work alongside the Instructor.
The unique Kumon Maths and English Programmes pursue the potential of each child by developing confident, independent learners through individualised, advanced study.
Similar to other tuition providers the Kumon programmes focus on essential academic skills, but we go one step further by developing a child's independent study skills, needed for school, university, employment and all other aspects of adult life.
The Ealing Broadway Study Centre is located at St Peter's Church Hall, on the corner of Mount Park Road and Montpelier Road. Children will attend the class for about 30-40 minutes per subject, during which time there is a comfortable parent's waiting area with chairs. There is also car parking spaces within the church yard as well as free on-street parking on the adjoining roads after 4pm.

Normalised headline earnings increased from 2.3 billion rand in 2012 to 2.7 billion rand in 2013 while embedded value went up 18 per cent to 35.7 billion rand in 2013.
"The period was notable for its significant investment in growth. Discovery invested 12 per cent of earnings in new growth initiatives over the period: while this exceeded prior years, the investment was based on the strong evidence of the business model's repeatability and scalability," the group said in a statement.
"Results exceeded expectation, with strong actuarial dynamics across the group. A focus on financial strength, performance and prudence delivered a strong set of results over the period, which saw new business grow by 15 per cent while return on capital exceeded 20 per cent."
[DATA DSY:Discovery] reported that investment income increased from 261 million rand in 2012 to 324 million rand in 2013 and profit from operations rose to 3.7 billion rand in 2013 from 3.5 billion rand in 2012.
"The performance of Discovery's core businesses exceeded expectation. Discovery's established and emerging businesses, which represent the most sophisticated manifestations of the integrated model, had an excellent period," said Discovery.
Net income increased from 19.8 billion rand in 2012 to 24.8 billion rand in 2013 while profit before tax decreased by one per cent to 3.32 billion rand in 2013.
Headline earnings also dropped from 2.1 billion rand in 2012 to two billion rand in 2013 and diluted normalised headline earnings per share went up 19 per cent to 496 cents.
"The full financial year through to end June 2013 was an important one for Discovery. Its business model – the use of behavioural structures to underpin insurance systems – is proving increasingly resilient and responsive," Discovery said.
"The progress made over the past financial year positions Discovery strongly for continued growth and profitability in the future."

OneWalk to Conquer Cancer

OneWalk to Conquer Cancer walks are one-day, 25-kilometer walks in Canadian cities. Formerly, they had a breast cancer focus and then a women's cancer focus, but now they raise funds to battle all forms of cancer. The walking distance is over 15 miles, a challenge greater than walking a half marathon. You should train to participate so you can enjoy the party at the end.

One Walk to Conquer Cancer: Toronto, ON. September 9, 2017. Benefits the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.

Montreal, QB: One Walk to Conquer Cancer. Usually held in August. Hosted by the Jewish General Hospital.

Calgary, AB: OneWalk to Conquer Cancer, June 24, 2017. Benefits the Alberta Cancer Center.

More Breast Cancer Walks

Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure: These run/walks are held in numerous cities. They usually feature a short 5-kilometer (three-mile) route. Check the current schedule for one in your area. They often are very large events with thousands of particpants, including survivors, family, friends, and supporters.

Walking a Breast Cancer Walk

I've had some of my best walking experiences ever on the Avon Walk and on the 3-Day Walk. The spirit is tremendous and the walking support is super. Whether you have friends or family members with breast cancer or are a survivor yourself, joining in these walks is both an emotional and physical experience.

Many studies have shown the benefits of physical exercise to reduce the risk of breast cancer and to improve the quality of life and longevity of breast cancer survivors. Registering for one of these challenging walks is a great way to motivate yourself to do your walking workouts.

Hello! This is my first post so my apologise if I come across as being a bit clueless.
A friend of mine has a band, and has asked me to design his album cover and Myspace banner. I'm capable with Photoshop and I have a very creative eye, the brief is straightforward, I just wondered if anyone had any tips?
I won't reveal the design he wants here because I feel that he wouldn't appreciate everyone hearing about it before the band has seen the design.
They're a metal band - quite heavy, and the guy I'm friends with is influenced a lot by bands like Meshuggah.
I basically want to know where to start - what sort of layout I'll need to be working on, as I haven't designed a proper album cover before (I'll be asking him more about how much he wants me to do - a leaflet/booklet or just a single sheet, etc.) and I'd also like a few texture-related tips. I have a vague idea of how I could "paint" peeling gold leaf, but I wonder if I could have any tips on skeletal textures and dark, heavy metal album cover style backgrounds?
I have a feeling I sound like such a noob - I'm typing as I think of things. I know it's a big project, but I'd like to get into this sort of design work, and I just need practise, really.

Has anyone else noticed such declines in their overall
traffic since June?
It has the phrase in title and desc meta tag only.
Hovering over the PR bar shows 0/10.
It's not listed in DMOZ.
It just appeared this week whilst other sites with decent PR, links, density have dropped down a few notches.
Is this just a new thing from Google? How is it that sites (not necessarily that new) can go straight to #1 leapfrogging well established sites?
I renamed a bunch of my pages a while back to be more descriptive (basically made them the same as what I wanted the descriptive page heading to be in the actual content portion). My ranking shot way up for keyword phrases that the pages are about and my traffic has trippled over the last couple of months.
I have only a PR of 4 and not a lot of backlinks at all.
Your mileage may vary.
The keywords are in no way repeated on the page nor elsewhere in the metatags.
All I can think of is that the site is hosted by some yahoo.net services, which don't seem to be available anymore.
google is definitely becoming less and less predictable...
Has anyone else noticed such declines in their overall

pages drop, pages rise,
traffic often coincides.
Another dance
will likely show
these pages do have PageRank, though.:)
Is it possible to be #1 with no PR, low backlinks, low KW density?No, absolutely not. Can't happen. Google is probably serving you a different page based on your IP. Its definitely not the same stuff we are seeing.
Also good for checking backlinks is
Wow! I followed a tip here last night that said comet systems was showing Google backlinks under the pr 4 threshhold. Now I see comet systems has switched to AlltheWeb results. I get more hits from comet systems than any non google partner besides MSN, and more than from Netescape. Things are getting interesting.
oops, just did a site search and found out the ATW thing is not so new

Sitting for too long may increase the risk of developing heart disease and stroke: new study warned
Photo for representational purpose
Regardless of how much physical activity someone gets, prolonged sedentary time could negatively impact the health of the heart and blood vessels, finds out Deborah Rohm Young, director of behavioral research at Kaiser Permanente Southern California in the US.
Sedentary behavior may be associated with an increased risk of developing diabetes, cardiovascular disease, impaired insulin sensitivity (linked to diabetes) and an overall higher risk of death from any cause, researchers said.
"There are many important factors we don't understand about sedentary time yet. The types of studies available identify trends but don't prove cause and effect. We don't have information about how much sedentary behavior is bad for health," Young said.
Instead of doping all the exercise into one or two days, the best advice at this time is to 'sit less and move more'. The goal is to encourage more consistent activity, Young said.
However, the researchers found that moderate to vigorous physical activity does not cancel out the impact of sedentary time. Even physically active people who spend a lot of their time being sedentary appear to have increased risk.
Sedentary behaviours include sitting, reclining, or laying down while awake as well as reading, watching television or working on the computer.

Sony's latest intellectual property is both a critical and commercial success, and honestly, I'm not really surprised. The game released a little over two weeks ago exclusively on PlayStation 4, and we loved it, here's our review. Sony released a statement saying the game has sold 2.6 million units in just 2 weeks. For comparison sake, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End (one of Sony's most popular flagships franchises) has sold 8.7 million units in total since it released last year.
A statement from a Sony PR representative follows:
"We knew Horizon Zero Dawn was going to be something special, so to see the incredible critical reaction to a brand new game world translate into this level of sales is really gratifying," said Shawn Layden, Chairman of SIE Worldwide Studios. "Guerrilla has created a game that is nothing short of exceptional, and the reaction we have seen from fans – from hours and hours of gameplay streaming to endless photo sharing – shows just how impactful it has been."
"We're thrilled that Horizon Zero Dawn has been embraced by critics and players alike. Developing the game was a labor of love, so it's extremely satisfying to see that it elicits the same passion and enthusiasm from the gaming public that we felt during its development," said Guerrilla Managing Director Hermen Hulst. "This is only the beginning of Aloy's story and our exploration of the world of Horizon Zero Dawn, with the team already hard at work on an expansion to the story."
I'm personally super stoked about Horizon Zero Dawn's success, as a sequel has most likely already been green lit by Sony. Did you get a chance to play Horizon Zero Dawn yet? If so, check out our spoiler-cast below!

Malik Bendjelloul, (born Sept. 14, 1977, Ystad, Swed.—died May 13, 2014, Stockholm, Swed.), Swedish documentary filmmaker who won an Academy Award, a BAFTA award, and more than a dozen other honours for his debut feature-length documentary, Searching for Sugar Man (2012). The detective-style film arose out of Bendjelloul's 2006 visit to South Africa, where he learned about Sixto Rodriguez, a little-known Mexican American folksinger-songwriter from Detroit, who had essentially disappeared from the public eye after releasing his only two studio albums, Cold Fact (1970) and Coming from Reality (1971). In the intervening years Rodriguez (known as "Sugar Man" from a song title) and his antiestablishment music had acquired near-legendary cult status among young white fans in South Africa, and Bendjelloul's film chronicled the search for the singer by two South African journalists. (He was found working in construction in Detroit, unaware of his popularity in South Africa.) Bendjelloul tried acting as a child before studying journalism at the University of Kalmar (later part of Linnaeus University) and directing documentary shorts. He shot the low-budget Searching for Sugar Man on Super 8 mm filmstock, and when he ran short of funds, he used a specialized smartphone app to complete the filming. Bendjelloul was believed to have suffered from depression and reportedly took his own life.

It's been quite a while since my last post here and I wanted to let my readers know why...
I really do have a good reason though I should have let you know sooner....
I found myself frustrated by the limitations of blogging and so have chosen to build a full-fledged website! A website is much more flexible and the company I'm using is dynamite.
I'm pretty excited but I'm also buried in a gigantic learning curve as I widen my horizons to include the language of HTML and the world of SEO.
The site is called The Homeschool Companion. You can find it here (it's already live though far from complete.
My hope is that you'll follow me over there and participate as much as you like....there are forms on some of the pages where you can make suggestions of homeschool resources or submit articles and eventually I plan to add a forum. So I hope to hear from you and God Bless!

IDF Chief of Staff Lieutenant-General Gabi Ashkenazi said Thursday that the Israeli aid mission to Haiti was a "source of pride for any Israeli and Jew."
Speaking at the delegation's reception ceremony at the Ben Gurion airport, Ashkenazi said, "Your ability to save lives crossed new boundaries," and added, "Recently there have been those who have tried to tarnish our soldiers. In your work you proved the opposite." (Ynet)

That didn't satisfy friends of Pearlie Golden, who authorities say appeared to be shot three times Tuesday night by officer Stephen Stem after he responded to a 911 call about a disturbance involving a woman and a gun.
"There's no justification. Any police officer would know not to kill a 93-year-old fragile woman when they could have backed off," said William Foster, 64, a retired professor in Hearne. "She was no threat to him."
Hearne police have said in a statement that Golden "brandished a gun" when Stem arrived at her small brick home behind the railroad tracks that run through this mostly poor community of 4,500 people.
Robertson County District Attorney Coty Siegert said Thursday that a preliminary autopsy shows Golden was shot twice in the body and grazed by a third bullet. It's the second time Stem has shot and killed a suspect since joining Hearne police in 2012, Siegert said.
Hearne Mayor Ruben Gomez said he will recommend Stem be fired at a city council meeting Saturday.
"It's a loss of confidence in the community. We can't have an officer the citizens have lost confidence in," Gomez said.

Are your expectations in marriage making a big difference in your contentment and satisfaction?
Every wife brings expectations into marriage. (Every husband does, too.) But just because you have expectations, it doesn't mean they'll always be met.
Some of these expectations might be completely reasonable – and others might not be.
For example, if you think that because you should be soulmates your husband should know exactly the gift you want to receive for your upcoming anniversary – yet you never tell him – please don't be upset when you receive something completely different.
The same goes for expecting your husband to know how you want or need him to help out around the house without ever talking about it. Or, pretty much, counting your spouse to just know what you want, need or expect ahead of time without ever telling him. He's not a mind reader.
Communication is so very important in marriage. And if the two of you aren't taking time to communicate – or if you're not communicating as clearly as might be necessary – you'll both end up extremely frustrated over expectations.
Do you know what you expect?
Aside from clear communication, you might need to think about what your expectations actually are. You might not even realize you have certain expectations. You may assume that everyone else lives a certain way or reasons the same way as you – but they don't.
Just because your parents' marriage was one model to you, and you've watched other couples model other kinds of marriages to you, your husband will never know what you expect marriage to look like until you talk with him.
And just because you have your own expectations, it doesn't mean they're the only option available. Your husband also brings a set of his own expectations, too. It's impossible for each of you to meet all of each other's expectations.
Remember that while you might have a certain expectation, it doesn't mean it would necessarily bring you joy in the long-run … or even in the short-run. If I expected my husband to bring me fresh flowers every couple weeks, I might enjoy it at first, but then I might get annoyed at the extra expense and realize that I'd still feel loved if he did something else. (It's true – I think I feel more loved when he washes our dishes than when he brings flowers home.)
Creating expectations together
While expectations may be good, they also might hold you back from having an amazing marriage. Think about the expectations both you and your husband have for marriage, for example. If you would discuss the expectations you both have – and marriages you've seen modeled – together you can talk through what actually would work (and not work) in your own lives.
Re-evaluating your expectations
Once you know what you expect and have talked everything over with your spouse, honestly ask yourself if your expectations are unreasonable. Some may be perfect. And other expectations might expect a little too much – or a little too little.
You may not have to lower many of your expectations. But you may need to transform them into expectations that line up with scripture. In this process, you might realize that you've been a little too critical with your husband because of your expectations – not because of him. If this is the case, you'll want to readjust and keep readjusting until you find a sweet spot.
As you continue to communicate with your husband and adjust your reality-based expectations together, you might be surprised by how you begin to work together on your marriage … and even start to understand each other better.
What have you done with expectations in your marriage?

Some States Are Not "In The Money"
February 18, 2000
Most states are so flush with tax revenues they are trying to figure out what to do with their surpluses. But a few are far less fortunate. Their lawmakers must decide whether to raise taxes or cut spending because their state economies are not diversified enough to reap the full benefits of the nation's economic boom.
- One such state is Wyoming -- whose residents pay no personal income tax to the state and, overall, a lower percentage of their income in taxes than residents of any other state.
- Another is Louisiana, where unstable oil prices and marginal increases in tax revenues have left it facing a potential deficit of $540 million for the fiscal year beginning in July.
- After spending increasing amounts on education, Tennessee needs to cut spending by $342 million or find new sources of revenue.
- Budget cuts are in the cards for Iowa, which is suffering from a slow rate of economic growth attributed to low farm prices.
Finally, there is Kansas, where revenue collections have come up short of forecasts -- necessitating cuts in its budget.

Western nations have strongly denied allegations by the Iranian government that they are encouraging Iran's post-election violence.
British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said Sunday that he "categorically" rejects the idea that foreign countries are manipulating protesters in Iran.
The head of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee, Senator Dianne Feinstein, also said on CNN "State of the Union" that to the best of her knowledge, "there has been no manipulation of people following the election."
On Sunday, Iran expelled the British Broadcasting Corporation's permanent correspondent in Tehran after blaming the BBC and the Voice of America of "engineering the ongoing post-election riots."
VOA Director Dan Austin rejected Iran's accusations, saying "the Voice of America is working hard to provide the people of Iran with news and information that is accurate, comprehensive and credible."
He also urged Iran's government to cease efforts "to restrict the free flow of information to their citizens." There are indications that Iran has been intermittently blocking VOA broadcasts.
Separately, Dubai-based television channel Al-Arabiya says Iran has closed its Tehran bureau indefinitely, accusing it of "unfair reporting" of the presidential election.
Also, the media rights group Reporters Without Borders is accusing Iran of arresting 23 local journalists and bloggers in the week since the presidential results.
In a statement issued Sunday, the group said Iran now ranks alongside China as the world's biggest prison for journalists.
Iranian authorities have severely restricted independent media coverage of opposition protests. Witnesses to these events are reaching out online and by telephone to report what they see on the streets.
They are relying on social media Web sites, such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube to tell the world about demonstrations and crackdowns in their cities -- and news agencies find themselves relying on the information these citizens publish.

Way behind today, and getting 2 tyres for the car didnt help. Wednesdays arent one of my better days. Lots of feedback from the drug topics last night, in particular on the PROC, The Gaff and radiowaves. Also thanks for all the calls and texts. We had so much calls last night, that we've decided to continue tonight and get some more comments.
The porn also seemed to ignite, but my mother has almost disowned me because of it. Im sure she thought I led a very sheltered life :) I felt it was only fair that I spoke the truth when I was asked if I had any porn in my collection. Whats good for the listeners is good for the talk show host.
I still havent got around to watching Crash or The Hitchhikers Guide, but roll on this weekend, as for next weekend I have a bloody wedding to go to. Im just not a big fan of weddings period, maybe thats why I havent walked down the aisle yet. I hate all the fuss, and Im sure people are saying "Sure, Fuck it, dont go". I wish. Its a family wedding so I have no choice, and anyway they're a really sound couple. If I can get out of the designated driver role, it mightnt be so bad :)
The online poker continues, and Ive now won over €1000!!!!!! Not bad for a beginner. Pity its only Play money :(
I got home last night, and watched my Sky + (doesnt have the same ring as Tivoed) Karl Spain wants a woman and Gaybo. Im really happy the Karls show is doing so well, its very funny. I have to say the Gaybo series has been brilliant. Both intriguing and inspirational! Thats it for now!

BC Partners cleans up with Punch parent deal
VENTURE capital fund BC Partners has bought a controlling stake in Punch Industries following the sale of a majority stake in the Cork-based company's parent.
London-based BC Partners bought a two-thirds stake in Punch's parent -- the French cleaning products manufacturer Spotless Group -- from AXA Private Equity, AXA said in a statement. The remaining third of the company is owned by management and other minority investors outside Ireland.
Spotless bought Punch in November 2006, ending a 150-year link between the Punch family and brands such as Punch shoe polish.
BC Partners said yesterday that it was financing half the deal with a loan from Bank of Ireland, HSBC, Lloyds and Societe Generale. BC Partners declined to say how much it paid but the 'Financial Times' said the deal values Spotless at €600m. Spotless bought Punch from an investment vehicle part-owned by cousins John and Martin Punch, descendants of founder Abigail Punch who created the company in 1851.

The other day I was refreshing my memory on Groucho's LSD escapade with Paul Krassner, when it occurred to me that it might be beneficial to see if the FBI ever had a file on Groucho.
Of course they did, and it's available for anyone to look at, heavily redacted of course. The Xerox machines at the FBI a few decades ago were super shitty (a feature not a bug?) so a lot of the pages you can't make out a damn thing, but other sections are perfectly legible.
If you know anything about J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI, the contents here aren't too surprising—they were mainly worried that Groucho might be a Commie (if not a Marxist) in the early to mid-1950s. There are countless (redacted) reports to the effect that Groucho had a lot of pro-Communist sympathies but was almost certainly not an actual party member. (I guess the G-men already knew that he'd refuse to join any club that would have him as a member?) There are some interesting references to a quotation of Groucho's that appeared in the Daily Worker in 1934 that went "The battle of the Communists for the lives of these boys is one that will be taught in Soviet America as the most inspiring and courageous battle ever fought."
Keep in mind that in 1934 Hitler was running Germany but not yet regarded as an obvious scourge to be eliminated. Still his anti-Jewish sentiments were clear enough. As a well-informed Jewish American it would be weird if Groucho hadn't gotten interested in Communism around then. Plus for similar reasons the mid-1930s was a high-water mark for leftist and/or pro-Soviet feeling, especially once the Spanish Civil War got going in 1936. A lot of people who weren't all that political got into trouble later for things they did (and thought) before WWII.
There's also some business about Groucho and Chico being found guilty in a copyright infringement case in 1937 and having to pay a $1,000 fine.
For some reason Groucho (né Julius) is invariably referred to as "GRAUCHO MARX." Once we reach the 1960s he is referred to as "Groucho." I don't know what's up with that. In the summary sections of the file there is some background about how musically talented Groucho and his brothers are—the musical talents of Harpo and Chico are well known, but the file also, intriguingly, says this: "GRAUCHO MARX is rated as one of the best guitar players in the country."
Did any of you know that?? So Groucho Marx, was, in a sense (at least according to his FBI file) a peer of Charlie Christian, Jimi Hendrix, and Eddie Van Halen? Well, maybe, maybe not.
There's some business I don't understand from 1957 about someone trying to "extort" Groucho. I can't tell if it's just a weird piece of fan mail that was referred to the FBI that they were obliged to look into or something more serious. On that page there is this chilling passage:
The death threat letter sent to GROUCHO MARX from ELVIS PRESLEY fanatics from Brooklyn stating that GROUCHO wouldn't live through the holidays, might seem ridiculous if it weren't such a serious offense to send such a threat through the mails.
Much more from the Groucho file, after the jump…....

I'm still feeling the Disney magic from my trip one month ago. During the trip, I worked on When you Wish Upon a Star on my tuny traveler ukelele ('cause I couldn't manage a mandolin with my other luggage).
I might have to get this!!
This should read "tiny traveler ukelele," and in case you wanted to know, it is a Kala Thinline Soprano with the compass in the headstock.
Still, good stuff there. Next purchase, the Irish book.

During Session 7 last summer, Colin Walters, Dylan Alito, Brandon Hobush and the Hobo Headwear Crew came to camp and put on a backflip clinic. It was the last day on hill, the sun was out in full force, and there wasn?t a cloud anywhere. They built a mini backflip kicker and campers, coaches, and pros took turns getting upside-down.
Summer camp is perfect for learning backflips because the snow is so slushy. Everyone was hucking and stomping backflips, some for the first time. The crew on the sidelines cheered every time an attempt was made. It?s impossible to explain the energy of the contest, but it was one of the funnest days on hill all summer. Here?s a few photos to bring you back, we can?t wait for Hobo to come back to camp in 2012!A camper learning backflips. Hobush getting inverted with some friends. Colin sending a backie off the little jump.

The Women Are Ready : an opportunity to transform peace in Myanmar
In January 2016, the PSF released a report on Women, Peace and Security in Myanmar, The Women are ready: an opportunity to transform peace in Myanmar, in acknowledgement of the 15th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325- the landmark resolution on Women, Peace and Security. The PSF is committed to supporting WPS. Approximately 20% of all funds are committed to projects that directly support WPS in Myanmar.
This discussion paper is not a definitive statement. It offers a first step in a difficult conversation and asks the following questions: how and where can women stake more claims to political space in Myanmar? What underlying factors need to be addressed to transform the status of women in Myanmar?
Section 3 of this report provides a host of strategies and practices- all based on best practice and global evidence - that a host of stakeholders can undertake in Myanmar related to Women, Peace and Security.
Situation Analysis of southeastern Myanmar
The Situation Analysis of southeastern Myanmar has been prepared by the PSF and the Myanmar Information Management Unit (MIMU) as a resource to support programming, strategy and policy across the peace, humanitarian and development sectors. For this Analysis, southeastern Myanmar includes: Mon State, Kayin State, Kayah State, eastern and southern Shan State, Tanintharyi Region and eastern Bago Region.
This Situation Analysis is not a needs assessment or gap analysis. It is a snapshot in time in a rapidly changing context. It is a step towards identifying key trends and bringing together a growing body of knowledge and data on southeastern Myanmar across the development, humanitarian and peace sectors. Each section of this report provides an overview of key issues and seeks to understand the current situation in a heterogenous area of Myanmar.
