In 2010, we need to find a better way to filter the web. It's growing exponentially every day to the point that only the largest server farms can keep up.
Twitter's API can't keep up with it's own traffic. Soon this will change when the firehouse is opened up to everyone but it will just push the problem further downstream. Developers are eager to have access to the firehouse of data but they won't be able to process it all, nor should they try. And this is only for one piece of the real-time web puzzle. Factor in Facebook, Google Wave, Linked-In's upcoming API, many more, and it becomes next to impossible for one company to filter and analyze everything.
To resolve this problem, we need micro filters.
What is a Micro Filter?
A micro filter is a filter that has a unique purpose and is reusable and available to anyone.
One example of a micro filter is a Twitter list. These lists are filters that web applications can use to narrow the firehouse and make information gathering manageable. But there's one problem. Twitter lists don't filter the information in a meaningful way. You can't grab every Twitter list on marketing and gather all the marketing tweets. A marketing twitter list can be as diverse as Twitter itself and can overlap with many other lists outside of marketing.
This is why we need multiple micro filters to get the information we want. A series of filters – when put together – would narrow the focus of information to the data you need for your web application or research project. Running your marketing twitter lists through a marketing filter would narrow the focus and give you the marketing information you need.
Creating Micro Filters
Creating micro filters is very complex. I used Twitter lists as an example but this is one of the easier filters to build. The complexity increases when you try to create the "marketing" filter in the example above. How do you know what information in a Tweet is related to marketing?
There are several ways to do this:
- Hash Tags: Hash tags are great identifiers but they're not popular enough to filter on. Too much information would be lost.
- Open API's: Take the links from each Tweet, convert the URL to it's long format, reference it in Delicious, and look for marketing tags. This works but it has a couple of downsides. First, it requires a lot of processing time. Second, the link may not be tagged in Delicious yet.
There isn't a perfect solution but it's clear that a combination of tactics are needed to build this "marketing" filter – tactics that go well beyond individuals categorizing other individuals in a social networking platform such as Twitter lists.
Further, several micro filters could be put together to keep narrowing the focus. You could add a third filter to the example above that shows all marketing information shared within 5 miles of you. This location filter would be the third micro filter and it could be used an many different situations.
In 2010, I expect to see more filters become available to help people focus on the topics that interest them most. Looking at Twitter, it's clear that filtering is going to become the next big development as people gather more followers, share more information, and expand their presence across more social media platforms.
Currently, Twitter is an unreliable platform for contacting people as the API can't handle the streams of information going to its most popular residents. Further, at close to 300 million Tweets per week, there's a lot of great information getting lost in the noise and this isn't just an issue on Twitter. It's happening everywhere which is why micro filters are the future of the web.

Remember my Native American inspired nails? Well, someone on Instagram asked for a tutorial, and even though it has taken me some time, here it is! I love this design even more after doing it a second time! Since this is a tutorial, it is picture heavy!
Begin with your base color. I chose to go with a gorgeous gold glitter, Shimmer Tracy. I did one coat over China Glaze Mingle with Kringle:
Then, when Tracy was dry, I taped my nails off so it looked like a big "X" on my nails:
Then, I put down lines that were parallel to the lower part of the "X" if that makes sense. Like this:
Next, I polished Zoya Thandie, an orange creme, over the tape in one coat that was slightly thicker, to increase opacity as much as possible with one coat:
Remember, pull the tape off quickly! DO NOT wait for the polish to dry! Finally, I added dots of China Glaze Just Be-Claws, a beautiful red foil, with my dotting tool. I dotted between the parallel lines on all of my nails and then I also dotted in the top and bottom triangles on my accent nail! I hope this was helpful! Enjoy! :)

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's president has laid out concerns over his country's share of the Nile waters, urging leaders of the river's basin countries to work together toward a more efficient use of resources.
President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi's Thursday comments were delivered at a "Nile Summit" held in Kampala, Uganda.
His comments reflected Egypt's alarm over the near completion of a massive dam in Ethiopia. Cairo fears it will slash its share of the river's waters. Addis Ababa denies this and says the dam is essential to its development.
El-Sissi said Egypt depends on the Nile for 97 percent of its water needs, "and that's the cause behind the wariness with which Egyptians handle any potentially negative effect on Egypt's water security."

According to the blog over at SFT (Students for a Free Tibet),
As the Chinese government continues its inhumane siege of major monasteries in and around Lhasa, a new danger is emerging for Tibetan monks: death by starvation.
Chinese military forces have surrounded the monasteries, cut off water and electricity, and are refusing to let Tibetans bring food and medicine to the increasingly starving (and potentially injured) monks.
This tactic is particularly inhumane, and yet historically appropriate for the Chinese Communist Party, which has a long history of massive collective punishment as a way of maintaining its control.
The major monasteries of Sera, Drepung, and Ganden are cut off, and sources in Lhasa report near-starvation among the monks. Tibet.net, the website of the Tibetan government in exile, is reporting that at least one monk has starved to death at the smaller Ramoche Monastery in central Lhasa.
The Chinese government is currently bringing some hand-picked foreign reporters on a carefully-scripted 3-day tour of Lhasa. These journalists should insist on being allowed to visit the monasteries to see the situation for themselves. China's inhumane collective punishment against Tibet's monks cannot be allowed to stand.
Does this sound like proper conduct for an Olympic host? Does this sound like proper conduct for any civilized country? Or does this sound like something out of the Middle Ages? Unfortunately, this is Tibet under Chinese occupation.

Suicidal behaviour represents a global public health problem and its prevention continues to provide a major challenge to health and social services at all levels of Irish society. More people die by suicide in Ireland each year than in road traffic accidents. Currently, youth suicide rates in Ireland are fifth highest in the European Union (World Health Organisation, 2005). Older people, especially older men, may also be vulnerable and suicide is affecting increasing numbers of Irish people across the lifespan.

Supplier Diversity > Articles
How to Launch a Capacity-Building Program
Supplier diversity programs that work to maximize capacity benefit more than the suppliers themselves. Their impact rewards the corporations that implement them often for years to come.
Know Your Suppliers (and Their Strengths)
Launching a successful capacity-building program begins with a close examination of existing diverse suppliers (MBEs). Targeted suppliers should demonstrate a stable performance and financial history while standing out from the crowd as thriving and active businesses. Once you know who your target MBEs are, you can then look for specific gaps in their capacity (i.e. efficiency and production) so that you can build the capacity-building program's primary focus.
Focus on MBEs Aligned with Company Strategy
Based on an objective identification and assessment of each potential MBE participant, the next step is to select those companies that are aligned with the corporation's strategy. This means that those suppliers that sell products or services that can feed into the company's focus projects, those slated for roll-out within the next two years should be a top candidate for accelerated capacity building. This ensures that the company's investment in capacity building feeds directly into its own most immediate needs making it a strategic asset to the company.
Facilitate Acquisitions and Joint Ventures
Once targeted MBEs are identified, the next step is to align these diverse suppliers with larger and/or prime suppliers. These introductions should be focused on companies that complement one another's services, gaps, or are primed to impact the same focus area for the company. Through these introductions, suppliers can realize joint ventures and acquisitions that expand their range of contacts and, in time, their business's reach and revenue.
Empower Others to Nominate MBEs
As a corporation's capacity-building program takes off, continuing its success goes beyond the supplier diversity lead. A successful program actively encourages internal partners (i.e. buyers, executives) to nominate the most viable MBE candidates. As company stakeholders, they are in the ideal position to also identify those MBEs that can be instrumental to the company's needs.
Collaborate With Industry Leaders
Finally, every capacity-building program can profit from the insight and expertise of veteran MBE industry groups like the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) whose mission centers on developing the resources and scope of minority-owned businesses. Reaching out to industry experts allows corporations launching capacity-building programs to make contact with new potential vendors or other corporations that have successfully launched similar programs.

Home loan calculators are a simple way to assess every part of your mortgage, from how much you have left to pay, to what extra costs you will have when you buy a new property. There are many different calculators to choose from depending on what stage of the home buying process you are at.
If you're considering buying a property, and want to establish a good price range for your budget, Choice's How Much Can I Borrow Calculator can help you decide. Simply enter your annual income, along with any monthly expenses you already have, such as credit card or car repayments, and the calculator will work out how much a bank would lend you.
You can then start to work out what loan terms would be the best for you, using the Basic Loan Repayments calculator. This calculates how much your repayments will be if you pay on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis. It also tells you the total cost of the loan under each payment system, so that you can assess which payment terms would be better in the long run.
Stamp duty calculators can also help you plan for some of the hidden costs in buying a home. Once you've decided on a home you want to make an offer for, you can enter the asking price to find out what your purchasing costs will be. These will vary based on what state you live in and whether you will live in the property you're buying.
If you've already had a home loan for a few years, you may want to find out how much you have left to repay. Choice's Remaining Balance calculator is the ideal tool to work this out – if you enter the original terms of the loan and how many years you've been paying it off, the calculator will work out exactly how much you have left to go.
If you're after more detailed advice beyond a simple calculation, Choice Home Loans can help. Our mortgage brokers can talk you through all the sums and guide you to the best value home loan on the market.
Choice home loan calculators can help you with your budget and decide which home loan could best meet your needs. Talk to our expert mortgage brokers today.

Last Vegas actually isn't that funny. The film is old people partying, drinking, gambling and picking up hot girls in Vegas! How does that not sound like fun? But more importantly, how did that fail to be funny? There were a couple of decent jokes in the film that made me chuckle, but I'd seen them all in the trailer so they really weren't as funny. There were various moments in the film that were fun to watch, but I was never really laughing out loud at any of the jokes. All the jokes are either not funny or occasionally bring a smile to me face. It's nothing more than that.
Every bit of the film is predictable. I'm not just talking about how the storyline turns out and what happens to all the characters, no all the jokes are predictable. "Oh hey I bet she's actually not a woman!" yep I was right there. "Hey I bet I know who appears in this scene!" Yep another thing I saw coming. Every moment in the film is predictable and that's not even an exaggeration. Some of the jokes can still bring a smile, but you could see them coming a mile away. I literally picked the ending twenty minutes in the film. Maybe even less. The film's just too cliché and predictable.
The film feels way too long. This is one of the few movies that I actually went into and when the ads started I forgot how long it went for and what time it ended. When the time the film ended I checked my watch and was surprised to see that it had only been an hour and forty minutes. The film feels like it went way past the two hour mark and I was getting restless in my seat. My jaw dropped when I saw how long it had actually been going for.
To sum up Last Vegas is a cliché, predictable mess that feels much longer than an hour and forty minutes and has a few jokes that brought a smile to my face, but even less that made me laugh a little.

Jules Kim, the founder of New York-based fine jewelry brand, Bijules, made headlines last year when she accused Gucci's then-brand new creative director Alessandro Michele for copying her designs for the Italian design house's Spring/Summer 2016 collection. According to Kim, the nail rings that Gucci showed that season were bit too close to ones she designed and Kim made public her plans to take legal action.
Kim never ended up filing suit, likely because her claims were quite lacking in terms of meeting the requirements for proving copyright infringement – something we took issue with at the time. It is worth noting that courts would also likely have a difficult time siding with Kim on copyright infringement claims for another of the designs she cites as copies. While there are differences in how courts in the twelve federal circuits compare works in copyright infringement cases, there is a general consensus of sorts that the designs must be "strikingly similar" for there to be infringement. With this in mind, all but one of the alleged "copies" that Kim cites by way of side-by-side photos are likely within the realm of legality. That potentially infringing work is Kismet's Lumiere White Diamonds Bar Ring.
Regardless of this, Kim has taken to penning an open letter to the copyists targeting independent designers, and it is, in fact, worth a read …
I began Bijules in 2003 by hand-making silver custom graffiti nameplates. Celebrities like Gwen Stefani and Eve wore my pieces. The attention and association with popular artists helped launch my brand. Thirteen years later, I continue to launch products into the market on the biggest stars and artists of our time. The danger to this as a promotional strategy is that the silhouettes of Bijules are exposed to a mass audience and the original designs are caught in the crossfire of fashion immorality.
To put it simply, as an independent designer, my marketing and promotion becomes the fashion and jeweler industry's research and development. And I am not alone.
The bar ring (2004), nail ring (2008), knuckle ring (2009), and handlet (2010), launched in editorial print magazines and simultaneously worn by celebrities, have been chronically copied and distributed by independent designers and major brands. No one has been legally held accountable.
I want to say at the outset that my intention is not to villainize the fashion industry. This is the industry that I love and have worked most of my life to be a part of. But I want us to be better. We need to redefine our standards and values.
All large creative corporations have legal teams devoted to ferreting out copyright infringement and licensing theft. Hollywood has ad campaigns to fight illegal downloads. The major TV and movie studios devote time and money to make sure that platforms like YouTube are not illegally streaming their TV shows and movies. The fashion industry polices its IP as best as it can. Any creative business must protect its intellectual property.
But if my designs are knocked off by a major fashion brand such as Topshop, H&M, Forever 21, Zara, or Gucci, I simply do not have the resources as an independent brand to accommodate the lengthy and expensive procedures of litigation to defend the origin of design.
It is the hypocrisy of fashion. The brands will stop at nothing to prevent theft of their IP, but Topshop can feel free to steal from me without any fear of legal retribution. And they do it brazenly. Corporations aren't people. The fashion brands don't feel guilt when they recreate another designers' work and sell it. But we, the designers whose work is stolen, are left damaged personally and professionally.
All designers hope to create trends. We want to see ourselves pervading and influencing culture, but a trend takes flight years after a design is launched. It seeps into popular culture then finally establishes itself, either as a fad, or a real jewelry design standard. But this can't be controlled. Who knows what consumers will love and what they will reject?
When the nail ring was launched, I felt I had created a trend. It was the same feeling I had with the bar ring in 2004. Today everyone has a bar ring in their jewelry collections. Surface 2 Air, Anna Sheffield, and I were the first to execute these rings in the early 2000s. They were subculture identifiers. People who took risks bought them.
Fashion as a consumer industry does not want to risk anything for success. It wants to lead with success and place bets on sure things; therefore, it takes a design that has cycled through the risk and proven itself in the market. But by then, the origin of the design has been lost.
I am simply advocating for this: when a fashion brand sees a product it likes, hire the creators. License their work. Go to the source and get the original. Your consumers will thank you.
Out of 50+ designs I have submitted for copyright registrations with the United States Copyright Office, only five have been accepted and granted protection. Two styles of the Bijules nail ring are protected with registered copyrights. Yet, it happens to be the most imitated silhouette of my career. Intellectual property is difficult to protect and define. Here is a link to coverage of one of the basic repeated issues of my career.
Delfina Delettrez' collection includes a knuckle ring. Kismet has a skinny bar ring. Amanda Marmer makes a nail ring. So does Fangophilia, and Gucci.
Something would be wrong if I were not getting copied. I would not be an established designer if I had not been knocked off. It would mean my creative process is flawed and not valued in popular culture. Instead, my designs help fuel pop culture and represent the pace at which it must change to stay relevant. So here lays the contradiction: there is a level of flattery to have my pieces imitated and knocked off. There comes pride when understanding one's power of influence on culture. Imitation might be the best form of flattery but the originality of a design shouldn't be stripped of its owner and tossed into the capricious sea of consumerism.
I care about this industry and its people. I want to protect my future in it by opening a dialogue of respect about the creative process. Fashion and jewelry brands can embrace this process and take advantage of the continuous pace of fresh ideas from a creator directly. Communication between idea makers and major brands serve better as transparent instead of murky and blurred. Hire them! This combined effort of authentic efforts to fuel culture and produce smart consumers will sustain business.
I am planning on being in business for a long while to come. I hope to be able to enrich those of us in it as well as outside.

Akufo-Addo Calls for peace
The presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has urged the party supporters to remain calm as the Electoral Commission prepares to declare the winner of the just ended elections.
Addressing party supporters at his residence in Accra yesterday, he said the EC had asked for more time to enable it to receive and collate the election results.
He said the whole world and the international community was looking at Ghana, and urged the supporters to work and support the accolade of democratic maturity the country had attained over the years.
Nana Akufo-Addo, who was flanked by his running mate Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, commended Ghanaians for the maturity they exhibited by voting in an orderly manner.
He said Ghanaians participated in a historic election in the annals of the history of the country, and voted for change and a new direction for the country.
Nana Akufo-Addo said when voted into power, his vision was to create jobs and bring prosperity to Ghanaians.
"We have experienced team to work to lift the economy forward and create jobs for the teeming unemployed and bring prosperity to Ghanaians," he said.
Nana Akufo-Addo commended the other presidential candidates, who had congratulated him on emerging the victor in the just ended elections, and mentioned them as Ivor Kobina Greenstreet of the Convention People's Party, Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom of the Progressive People's Party, Dr Edward Mahama of the People's National Convention, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings of the National Democratic Party and Jacob Osei Yeboah, an independent presidential candidate.
"I knew all of these people are going to be part of government to bring prosperity to Ghanaians," he said and thanked all those who supported him and the party's campaign.
Nana Akufo Addo also paid glowing tribute to his running mate, Dr Bawumia for his support, saying there was no decision he takes without consulting him.

DECATUR -- The state's school immunization deadline expired Tuesday, and now students who don't have their required shots are missing class.
A spokesperson from Decatur Public Schools told WAND the district denied 373 students' attendance, due to non-compliance with either physical exams or immunizations. That's still down from last year, though, when 460 students were forced to miss class.
Nonetheless, the Macon County Health Department is slammed with students scrambling to get their shots.
Clinic supervisor Carol Carlton said the health department vaccinated more than 130 students on Tuesday alone.
"We have nurses doubling up together to help each other give immunizations to help speed up the process," Carlton said.
The health department anticipates another busy day Wednesday during open clinic hours.
For children who still need immunizations, parents must bring immunization records with them and accompany any child under 18.

I've never set any specific goals other than to just ride more and improve a bit on speed, climbing and technique. In 2006 I logged about 2300 miles, but could have done much more if I hadn't started slacking off in September. Life just got in the way for many reasons.
I plan to ride Cinderella in March, Chico Wildflower in April. Maybe Strawberry Fields Forever in May. Metrics, most likely, but we'll see how I am before the Wildflower. DH is thinking of doing Climb to Kaiser this summer. I have no inclination to do this ride (way too hard for me), but will probably train with him as if I were. Climbing is my big bugaboo. I have the legs, it's the lung power I lack. Some of it may be EIA, but even with inhalers, I really slow down on hills and don't have much stamina. Need to get back to doing hill repeats once a week or so.
For the winter months I want to ride my trainer at least three days a week, do resistance training two-three days a week, and do longer rides on the weekends weather permitting. I feel as if I have to rebuild my endurance base from last summer. It's not completely gone, but last Sunday's flat 30 miles told me I need to get back to work. Looking forward to DST when I can ride after work. Doing the trainer for an hour at 5 am is no fun .

Note: This post is sponsored by Bedsider. All opinions are my own.
Does birth control lead to sex? I think my mom would say yes. Birth control was that taboo topic in my household growing up. In fact, it was never discussed; no birds and no bees. I think my mother felt that if she mentioned sex or even birth control then some kind of way she was encouraging it. I think it made me even more curious and less informed.
And then came high school…Catholic high school. Unless I just never paid attention, I don't recall birth control being discussed at all. There was this underlying message that we didn't need birth control or to even discuss it because we weren't having sex. However, I do remember quite a few babies being born.
My unplanned family began growing immediately after college. I soon learned what wasn't birth control and what was. Let's just say that the rhythm method and breastfeeding should never be considered forms of birth control. I breastfed all of my children but I remember oh so well, when I found out I was pregnant with my son. I had come down with what I thought was the stomach flu and I was concerned I would not be able to breastfeed my daughter until I got better. Well the stomach flu doesn't last 9 months, I was in fact pregnant.
Birth control doesn't lead to more sex. It leads to a greater sense of responsibility and allows for planning. With tools and information from organizations like Bedsider available, making the decision about what type of birth control is best for you is now easier. I also feel more informed and prepared to have the conversation with my children when the time comes. Though it may be awkward at first, I know that it is necessary.
What are your thoughts on birth control? Abstinence? Are you having this discussion with your teens and young adults? If you do not know how to approach this topic, I encourage you to visit Bedsider.
About Bedsider:
Bedsider.org (Bedsider) is an online birth control support network for women 18-29 operated by The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, a private non-profit organization. Bedsider is not funded by pharmaceutical companies. Or the government. Bedsider is totally independent and the info on it is honest and unbiased. Fact: Seven in 10 pregnancies among unmarried women 18-29 are described by women themselves as unplanned.

As this replacement guide works on an internal component of the Xoom Wifi, completion of prior steps to remove external parts is necessary.
There are two 6.6mm screws that hold ports into place as well as the back panel. Remove these with a T-5 Torx screwdriver.
Apply light pressure with hand and slide the back plate till it stops in this position.
There is a flex clip on both sides that need to be pushed down in order for the plate to slide off completely. Use a plastic opening tool to release the flex clips. They are located under the back cover near the sides.
As soon as the clips are released the back should slide off.
Remove last two 4.2mm screws from the remaining back piece with a T-5 Torx screwdriver.
Once both screws are taken out, lift the rest of the backing out of the way.
Use a spudger or a fine tip to lift the black tab to a vertical position.
A spudger is needed to remove the plastic border around the camera.
When lifting the camera out, be sure to pull the orange ribbon cable as well.

The LCMS Ohio District Board of Directors met on December 1, 2017 and heard first all Christians have many reasons to be thankful. Using Luke 17:11-19 as his text,, Fourth Vice President Andrew Norris spoke about the crippling disease of leprosy. The lepers not only suffered from their illness, they also had to stay away from their family and also from worship. Even though Jesus cleansed the ten lepers, only one, still a social outcast, returned to thank Him. We, too, are outcasts from God due to our sin, so we are thankful that Jesus brought us into His family and also into worship. Thus, the Board of directors began this meeting on a note of thankfulness. Today we considered some important items of the District business.
1. The Board approved these appointees for the District, as mandated by the Code of Regulations. a. Chief Financial Officer – Lisa Rachul; b. Legal Counsel – Wegman, Hessler & Vanderburg. c. Auditors for 2018 Financial Review – Internal Audit Department of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod; d. Committee on Constitutional Matters – Rev. Paul Hoffman, Mr. Thomas Moffitt, and Mrs. Jean Moffitt e. Ohio District - Lutheran Church Extension Fund Trustees (needed until merger is completed) Rev. Milton Berner, Rev. John Davidson, Rev. Ron LePere, Rev. Kip Smith, Rev. Jeff Stephens, Ms. Eileen Fitzenreiter, Mr. Mike Korba, Mr. Ryan Miller. f. District Reconcilers - Rev. Doug DeWitt, Rev. Richard Habrecht, and Mrs. Bobbie Glotzhober. g. District Endowment Committee – Mr. William Fecht, Sr., Mr. William Englemann, Mr. Chuck Foreman, Mrs. Eileen Fitzenreiter, Mr. John Schimmelmann. g. Church Dissolution Taskforce - Mr. Peter Hessler, Esq., Mrs. Lisa Rachul, Mr. David Bowers and Mrs. Christine Spohn. h. District Archivist – Rev. Paul Hoffman.
2. The Call Committee for the District Superintendent of Schools interviewed three candidates and decided with prayerful consideration to call Mr. Kevin Creutz to receive the call to become the new District Superintendent. Kevin is presently principal at Central Lutheran School in New Haven, IN. Kevin at first declined the Call, citing timing as a large factor in his decision, but there is a possibility that he may be open for a call at this time.
3. Rev. Kevin Guynn, chairman of the Performance Development Committee, noted that the Committee presented the proposed survey was presented to the recent Pastors' and Teachers' Conferences. Eighty-six church workers responded to the survey. This survey will be used to evaluate the District President and the District staff. The Committee learned much from this "practice evaluation and will continue to revise it before it is sent out.
1. Mrs. Lisa Rachul, District Treasurer, reported that Mission Support revenue continues to decline. It is 4.5% below the same period last year. If this trend continues, the 2017 mission support will be below the current year budget and possibly below $1,400,000. However, despite this decline, the unrestricted cash position continues to be positive with about 4.8 months of non-discretionary spending available.
2. Once the District has sold its portion of the Ohio State mission, the merger between the Ohio District Lutheran Church Extension Fund and the Lutheran Church Extension Fund will be complete. (Mrs. Rachul)
3. In terms of the 2018 Budget, Mission Support was reduced to $1,390,000 due to current year trend. 2. The support for Synod was reduced by $76,240 to balance the budget. 3. Investment income from Thrivent account is included in the budget computation at an estimate of $50,000. The budget also reflects $100,000 for four missions, $39,500 for congregational vitality, $37,500 for mission training. 6. The Endowment Fund has released $55,000 to the mission and ministry budget. The Board approved this balanced budget. (Mrs. Rachul)
4. The Board expressed concern about the decrease of money given to Synod. It was decided that if any funds remain unspent from that budget, those funds could be used to provide additional support ro Synod.
5. President Cripe noted that the District has encountered no violations in terms of legal and governmental Matters.
6. There is a possibility that the District office will be sold and the District will rent a building instead, especially with the deployed staff. (Pres. Cripe)
Future Challenges
1. President Cripe reported that the Church is facing strong challenges, especially with the downturn of members in many congregations which could result with numerous congregations closing, merging, or becoming part of multi-point parishes. However, President Cripe feels heartened that more congregations are becoming engaged with their community and are sharing the Good News in words and actions. Our churches must continue to be faithful in the Word In addition, pastors may face financial challenges due to the recent ruling to end the clergy housing allowance
2. The Lutheran Church Extension fund (LCEF) has begun a process of reorganization as part of a cost-cutting measure as they are divided into three regions. There is a possibility that districts of Synod could someday follow in the same fashion. (Pres. Cripe)
1. President Cripe has been invited to teach classes for several weeks next spring in Ethiopia.
Board Matters
1. The Communication Sub-Committee has developed a Powerpoint program in which the individual Board member attend his or her respective circuit meetings and thank the churches for their support and hear any concerns and suggestions from the District. pastors. The Board directors see this programs as a helpful tool for communicating more with District pastors and congregations.
2. All the directors signed a document stating that they have no conflict of interest, as they serve on the Board. The Synod requires that directors sign this form annually.
Next Board meeting: January 26, 2018 at the Ohio District Office, Olmsted Falls OH
The September 8, 2017 Board of Directors' meeting began with a devotion taken from Psalm 73:1: ""Surely God is good to Israel; to those who are pure in heart." (v. 1) Loneliness is not so bad when it alerts the Christian that he can't do it all by himself. Psalm 73 here speaks of God's gracious actions for loneliness. We Christians may find that "it's lonely at the bottom," but God is still with us, as Jesus went to the bottom Himself to bring us forgiveness and raise us up.
The Board heard reports and made decisions to further God's Kingdom in the Ohio District.
District Personnel
1. Pastor Kevin Wilson and Mrs. Karen Dutton are now certified trainers to guide District congregations through "Re:vitalization," the new Synodical program for congregational revitalization
2. Rev. Kevin Guynn and members of the District Personnel Committee have developed survey questions concerning the performance of the District President as well as the Executive staff for evaluation purposes. The Committee will present this survey at both the Pastors' and the Teachers' conference to receive their comments and suggestions.
District Finances
1. Despite the decline in mission support, the cash position continues to be positive with 4.8 months of non-discretionary spending in available cash.
2. The Synodiccal Lutheran Church Extension Fund (LCEF) checking account transferred the $1,414,661.70 to the Ohio District checking account. The Board approved a resolution stating that an investment account would be established through Thrvient Financial for these funds.
3. The Board suggested that the District should take a tithe (10%) from the LCEF money and give this portion to the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod and possibly to Lutheran World Relief in view of all the recent hurricanes. The Board also suggested that the remaining portion be invested in Thrivent or such other investment services company and the District would utilize the interest for congregational projects; however, if the right opportunity for a new mission or ministry should arise, the District staff could bring it up to the Board to consider using the principal for mission purposes. Thus, this investment would be flexible for District missions. The merger between the Ohio District Lutheran Church Extension Fund and the LCEF will be complete once the District has sold its portion of the Ohio State mission in Columbus, OH.
4. The District received extra money from a real estate tax refund of $44,965.66 from a former congregation.
5. Immanuel Lutheran Church, Youngstown, Ohio, was dissolved and its building sold to another church for $150,000. The Board decided that this fund should be designated as a Board-designated fund, and should be released to the Executive District Staff for the next three years to revitalize congregations and to deal with possible dissolutions.
6. Victory Lutheran, Youngstown, OH also voted to dissolve. St. Mark, Boardman is interested in keeping the food and clothing ministry operating. The property was deeded to the LCEF.
District Congregations
1. Several congregation have experienced growth, including St. Matthew, Huber Heights, OH St Mark, Broadman,, OH and Redeemer, Austintown, OH.
2. President Cripe has received several inquiries from congregations about affiliation with the Ohio District. One, in the Strongsville/North Royalton area, is an independent Lutheran congregation, while the other two, in the northwest region, have left or are leaving the ELCA.
3. Now that the District has joined the LCEF, it now has gained knowledge of their congregation evaluations which will be applied to congregations.
4. The District now provides 3-year ministry grant to help revitalize congregations. Pastors and congregations will find more information about this grant at the District website.
Upcoming Events
1. Preparatory steps are underway for the 2018 Ohio District convention to be held at Concordia University, Ann Arbor, June 28-29, 2018. The theme for our convention is "Immeasurably More," taken from Ephesians 3:20.
2. The Board is considering how to develop more effective communication between itself and District pastors and congregations. A committee is considering several possibilities.
Next Board meeting: December 1, 2017 at the LCMS District Office, Olmsted Falls, OH
The June 16, 2017 Board of Directors' meeting began with a devotion from Matthew 9:35-38. Jesus says here that the Harvest is ready, but the laborers are few. These days the Church seems to be harvesting more people overseas, but what about the harvest here? This is not the time for us to give up, but we should still cultivate and plant. This is the time we consider using new tools for cultivating and "preparing the soil" for people to receive God's Word. Then the Harvest will follow!
The Board heard reports and made decisions to further God's Kingdom in the Ohio District until the Harvest –
District Personnel / Church Workers
+ Mr. Travis Grulke, District Superintendent of Schools, is preparing to become the Superintendent of Schools for the Michigan District. He noted several points about the preparations for his departure: 1. Mr. Kevin Creutz, New Haven, IN has returned the District's call to become the next District Superintendent of Schools. Since all principals have probably signed their contracts by now, the Call Committee should begin the calling process again in October-November, 2017. 2. Several District principals and teachers workers will help maintain the District's work with its schools. Travis' administrative assistant, Sara Krek, is well-acquainted with the necessary workings and documents for the District teachers and schools; she will provide the necessary guidance for the District schools this year 3. Mr. Bob Reisenbichler, a retired principal, will work with the state Department of Education. Travis believes that this group of educators will maintain well the District's ministry to the schools at least for this year.
+ Rev. Dr. Paul Hoffman has been appointed to serve as the District Archivist, replacing Rev. Peeter Pirn. (Pres. Cripe)
+ While the vacancy numbers are down to about 6, more retirements are on the horizon, resulting in more vacancies (Pres. Cripe)
+ Three congregations, Bethany, Erlangen, KY, St. Paul, Liberty, OH, and Concordia, Findlay, OH are taking up the process of revitalization from the Synod called Re:Vitality.
(Pres. Cripe)
+ Rising Hope, an urban mission in Canton, begun by Holy Cross, North Canton, baptized 12 individuals on May 7th. It was an exciting day, especially since the first group to meet consisted of three prostitutes, two drug dealers, and Chad Minor (now SMP vicar) and his wife. The mission meets in a neighborhood school with which they enjoy a very fine relationship. Young families and believers are mentored by older members of Holy Cross.
+ Ebenezer Ethiopian Lutheran Church has purchased their own building. They have been looking for new quarters for over a year.
+ Christ Lutheran Church, Cleveland, moved into its new building on Bellaire, which was given to them by the remaining members of Puritas Lutheran Church. Pastor Kavouras reports a remarkable spirit among the members, as they have refurbished and continue to improve their building.
+ President Cripe continues to monitor the status of Recognized Synodical Organizations (RSOs). He recently renewed RSO status to Luther Memorial School in
Cleveland and will consider other organizations for their RSO status.
+ Mrs. Lisa Rachul, District Treasurer reported on several items: 1. The District's mission support was down slightly compared to this period last year She will continue to monitor the budget. 2. The District's unrestricted cash is down slightly as a result of the payoff of the loan with LCEF for the Ohio District building renovation. 3 The merger between the Ohio District Lutheran Church Extension Fund (ODLCEF) and the Lutheran Church Extension Fund (LCEF) has been completed and now new processes are in place for the reimbursement of expenses. We received $25,341 a month as reimbursement for shared costs. The final amount to be returned to the District as remuneration for the merger is $1,414,661.70. The District executive staff is in the process of reviewing options for the investment and use of these funds.
+ Lisa is also negotiating with Sunset Memorial Cemetery concerning the possible sale of the District office. The local cemetery people are interested in purchasing the building, but the national office is lukewarm about this.
Board Actions
+ The Performance Development Committee of the Board plans to develop an evaluation of the District President using an experimental survey from Survey Monkey®. The Committee will present this survey at both the Pastors' and the Teachers' conferences.
+ Several members expressed concerns about the effectiveness of the Board's communication with District pastors and congregations. It was suggested that the Performance Development Committee craft a survey using Survey Monkey® which would ask District pastors and congregations their opinions about the Board's communications. Several board members will also meet to suggest some practical ways for the Board to communicate more effectively with its constituents.
NEXT BOARD MEETING: September 8, 2017 at the District Office, Olmsted Falls, OH
The April 7, 2017 Board of Directors' meeting began with a devotion about the Jesus coming to be our King. He fulfilled the Scriptures' statements about His Kingship and came to rule in our hearts. We should be careful not to try and be the kings in our lives because we only end up in sadness and depression. We welcome Jesus as our King with thanks and joy.
The Board heard reports and made decisions to further God's Kingdom in the Ohio District –
+ Mr. Travis Grulke has accepted a call to be Superintendent of Schools for the Michigan District. The board reluctantly accepted his resignation, but heard that a Call Committee has already been formed. Since principals usually sign a statement in May to remain as principal of a particular school, the Call Committee need to act quickly and call a new person to serve as our District Superintendent of Schools. Since a Board member, Mrs. Christine Spohn, serves on this Call Committee, the Board agreed that she could work with the Committee and issue the call in their behalf to call a possible successor to Mr. Grulke.
+ A Personnel Committee has been formed again to work with President Cripe. This committee will survey the District to develop an evaluation for President Cripe.
+ Mrs. Lisa Rachul, District Treasurer, reported that District mission support has dropped significantly from the first period. It may be necessary to watch the financial progress this year. In fact, the Board's Finance Committee will work with Lisa and make sure that the end of year financial projections won't go below 4 months of non-discretionary spending, based on the CFO's forecast.
+ She also shared some details about the merger between the Ohio District Lutheran Church Extension Fund (ODLCEF) and the Lutheran Church Extension Fund. (LCEF) which occurred on March 31, 2017. The final amount of the net asset retention has not been determined but the range is $1,250,000 to $1,500,000 to remain in the District. The Executive Staff will determine how the District will utilize this money.
+ The Finance Committee met with the auditors for their report. The auditors gave a good report for the District books, but the District Treasurer should release funds for African and Appalachian missions automatically
+ Several congregations have become dual parishes. The challenge in all of these is for members to learn to work together and understand that it is unrealistic to expect full-time pastoral work at each location. (Cripe)
+ Several spring pastoral education opportunities are replacing the Spring conferences.
+ Several Executive staff members have Kevin Wilson, have received training for Synod's re:vitality process. All members have responded positively about the material.
+The Ministerial Health Committee held several get-togethers for the pastors' wives. Most had a small attendance, but they showed positive results. The next ones may include the principals' wives.
+ The District has a new ministry called "Comfort Dog Ministry." It has been discovered that when stressed, depressed people pet a dog, they feel comfort. Contact the District office to learn more details about this ministry.
District Schools
+ Travis along with advocate Gary Smith, has worked hard in Columbus to promote measures to help our schools. Currently, the Huffman Bill has been introduced which would significantly expand our voucher system in the state. He also opposes an amendment which would establish independent schools as 'accredited' and deregulated by the state
+ The District held two Early Childhood Workshops for workers both in the southern and northern sections of the state. 150+ EC workers attend the workshops. (Grulke)
Next Board meeting: June 16, 2017 at the District Office, Olmsted Falls, OH
The LCMS Ohio District Board of Directors met on Friday, January 27, for their first meeting in 2017. We greeted Mrs. Ingrid Lewis who was recently elected as our Commissioned Minister at Large, replacing Mrs.Kimber Walsh who took a call.
We began with a devotion by First Vice President Rev. Michael Saylor who shared a time in college when he became God's light when dealing with an unchristian professor.
The Board then heard and discussed these important issues.
Mrs. Eileen Fitzenreiter, the District Foundation Gift Counselor, spoke about her work. She once served as a banker, but now realizes how God called her to serve here. She noted that the LCMS Ohio District and its ministries have been blessed and will be blessed by the $31,755,184 from congregational support for the Foundation, not including special gifts given directly to other agencies and ministries.
Mr. Peter Hessler, District Legal Counsel, then spoke about the merger between the Ohio District Lutheran Church Extension Fund (ODLCEF) and the Lutheran Church Extension Fund. (LCEF) This discussion of merger especially occurred because fewer District congregations are seeking loans from the ODLCEF. Also, congregations are increasingly facing economic struggles which could bring up concerns over possible delinquencies. The ODLCEF faces an aging investor base with no repopulating set of investors to replace them and so more investors may request their money. All these factors led to the discussion of a possible merger.
Mr. Hessler also spoke about the benefits which this merger will bring: 1. The District will carry out its church extension fund activities by partnering with a larger, stronger, more diverse, national LCEF program. 2. The investors of the ODLCEF will receive more protection for their investments. 3. The LCEF will employ representatives in Ohio who will serve as the "face" of the LCEF to congregations. 4. LCEF offers a fuller set of investment opportunities to investors. 5. The fund will operate more efficiently with a national base. 6. Assets of between $1,250,000 and $1,500,000 will be provided to the Ohio District for furtherance of its mission and purpose.
The ODLCEF will have to work out with the LCEF some practical concerns, including size of the staff, budgeting, and representatives in Ohio. Mr. Hessler noted that the ODLCEF Board has already approved the proposed merger, so now the Board of Directors needs to approve the merger. It was moved and seconded that the Board of Directors approve the Resolution establishing the merger of the Ohio District Lutheran Church Extension Fund with the Lutheran Church Extension Fund. The motion carried.
President Cripe in his report noted several points: 1. Faith, Mansfield will be closing and several congregations in the Youngstown area will consider merging. 2. The Synod has a new program called "re:Vitality" which will be developed in several congregations having difficulties. 3. The District is presently producing a series of 3-5 videos about their grants for congregations. 4. Rev. Mark Hill has agreed to chair the District Ministerial Health Committee. 5. At this point there are only 90 pastoral candidates and two congregation are applying for candidates. 6. At this time more church bodies, especially from Africa, have approached the LCMS for doctrinal and teaching assistance. 7. Two District congregations will call a candidate, but only ninety are available, so it's possible that only one congregation will receive a candidate. 8. The Vice Presidents are planning four spring conferences for the pastors, but each will be held on a different day, so it's possible for pastors to attend all four conferences. 9. Congregations can examine a booklet from Synod that explains the dynamics of church planting under the themes of witness, mercy, and fellowship.
Mr. Travis Grulke, District Superintendent of Schools, also made a report, He noted several items: 1.He has led chapel at several schools, especially at Lutheran West High School for National Schools Week. 2. Plans for the two March workshops for Early Childhood educatots have been planned: one at Royal Redeemer and one at St. Paul Milford. Also, the directors' conference has been finalized at St. Paul Painesville in June. 3.Huge changes are proposed in the state scholarship system; ones that would be a major blessing to our Lutheran schools. 4. The District recently hosted a Curriculum Mapping training for educators from around the state at St. John, Marysville. 5. Continued work is being done in the joint effort with the Great Lakes districts for a leadership training taking place in June.
Mrs. Lisa Rachul, District Treasurer, gave the report. She noted several items: 1. The Mission Support given through January 15, 2017 is 2.6% less than Ohio District Mission Support donations given through January 15, 2016 and it is below the budget by 2% 2. The District had a conversation with the management of Sunset Memorial Park regarding the purchase of the District office building. While the local staff has an interest in the building, the executive staff are not willing to make the purchase at this time 3. The auditors will be here for two weeks to audit the finances of the Ohio District and also the ODLCEF. She doesn't anticipate any problems.
The Board also monitored President Cripe's report about Financial and Operating Plans. They also reviewed the Policy Manual which discusses the relationship between the Board of Directors and the District President and staff. They emphasized the process of monitoring District financial dealings.
Next Board Meeting: Friday, April 17, 2017 at the District Office, Olmsted Falls, OH

Insights from members of the New Horizons Science Team
December 23, 2014Great Expectations Dennis Reuter
As the time for New Horizons Pluto system encounter approaches, I often think about the fact that the first time we've taken a close-up look at an object in the solar system, our understanding of that object immediately leaps forward. From volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io, to hydrocarbon lakes on Saturn's moon Titan, to nitrogen geysers on Neptune's moon Triton, and innumerable other examples, we've seen remarkable things that have taught us much about what goes on in our sun's neighborhood.
Next year, New Horizons will be taking the first high-resolution views of the Pluto system, which represents an unexplored class of solar system bodies – small planets in the Kuiper Belt. While we have some idea of what we expect to see, I can't help but think that history will repeat itself, and we'll find ourselves astounded by something new, something we had never expected to see. And for me, as the instrument scientist for the Ralph color imager and infrared (composition mapping) spectrometer on New Horizons, the high likelihood that at least part of that "something new" will be recognized in data returned by that instrument is beyond exciting.
Not only will Ralph allow us to "see" things as if we ourselves were there, its infrared spectra will allow us to tell what specific molecules are on the surfaces of Pluto and its moons, how they are distributed, and what their environments are like. We've already seen how capable Ralph is from infrared and visible images taken of Jupiter in 2007 during the gravity assist maneuver that sped New Horizons to Pluto. The idea that planetary science will soon have that information for the Pluto system too is just remarkable!
Dennis Reuter, a New Horizons co-investigator from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., is the instrument scientist for Ralph, the New Horizons color imager and infrared spectrometer.

Dave, do the phrases "what have I learned" and "still training" contradict each other?
I do know what I have learned though. No matter what event you do and no matter where it is, the weather is lousy. So grateful if you could let us know what you are thinking about for next year, so that I can go somewhere else!
Seriously brilliant effort though and huge admiration for getting the training in - never mind the event itself. And a great read. Really well done
