Who is God?
The question "Who is God?" is a good question. It is better than asking "What is God?" This is because God exists, created us, loves us, is concerned for our being, desires to provide for us, and sent the Son to redeem us. If we were to ask "What is God?" we might be tempted to say that God is the infinite being, the creator, a presence, or something like that. In some respect, this would be true. But the first question brings us closer to understanding more of who God really is in His character and His love for us as revealed in the Bible.
The Bible teaches us that in all existence, from all eternity, there has been and always will be only one God. God was never created, is completely loving, completely just, completely holy, completely merciful, and that He desires the best for us. God is holy and He can have nothing to do with sin as the Bible says, "His eyes are too pure to look upon evil," (Hab. 1:13). This does not mean that God cannot see what someone does that is wrong. It is a way of describing how holy God is. God cannot sin. He is perfect.
In Christianity, God is a Trinity. This means that God is three persons, not three gods. Technically, the doctrine of the Trinity states that in the one God is the person of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each is not the same person as the other; yet there are not three gods but one. This is similar in analogy to the nature of time. Time is past, present, and future. The past is not the same as the present, which is not the same as the future. But, there are not three times. There is only one thing called time.
The reason the word "person" is used in describing the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is because each exhibits attributes of personhood -- not in a body of flesh and bones, but in personality. In other words, each has a will, loves, speaks, is aware of others, communicates with others, etc. These are attributes of personhood and we see the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit each demonstrate these qualities.
Because of the Trinity, God can become flesh in the form of the Son, and still exist in such a way so that He can run the universe. Therefore, the Son can communicate to us on our level.
Following are a couple verses that hint at the Trinity.
- Matt. 28:19, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit."
- 2 Cor. 13:14, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all."
The Bible says there is only one God: "I am the Lord, and there is no other; Besides Me there is no God," (Isaiah 45:5). Yet, the Bible teaches that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are each called God.
Below is a very brief chart that shows that each of the persons in the Trinity share the same attributes that only God shares. But remember, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit each have wills, and speak, etc. Therefore, we say there are are three persons.
Called God | Phil. 1:2 | John 1:1,14; | Acts 5:3-4 |
Creator | Isaiah 64:8 | John 1:3; | Job 33:4, 26:13 |
Everywhere | 1 Kings 8:27 | Matt. 28:20 | Psalm 139:7-10 |
All knowing | 1 John 3:20 | John 16:30; 21:17 | 1 Cor. 2:10-11 |
A Will | Luke 22:42 | Luke 22:42 | 1 Cor. 12:11 |
Speaks | Matt. 3:17; | Luke 5:20; 7:48 | Acts 13:2 |

This was The Beatles' only concert appearance at Sunderland's Rink Ballroom, although they performed in the city's Empire Theatre on two other occasions: 9 February and 30 November 1963.
One Response to "Live: Rink Ballroom, Sunderland"
David Potts I was lucky enough to go to this concert at the "Rink" in Sunderland, I remember that the queue was about 12-deep and wound around a nearby carpark and then about 200 yards into the town (as it was then) centre. The group was fantastic and everyone was delirious, it got so boisterous that in order to give the boys some space and safety on the stage, numerous benches were brought from somewhere in the building and were stacked on upon the other (about 3 high) around the stage boundary. Normally at the Rink there was a tunnel/walkway which ran behind the stage and this was blocked off during the concert for the Beatles to use as a changing-room/place of refuge. I particularly remember John Lennon belting out 'Twist & Shout' with sweat pouring down his face. Eventually the benches came tumbling down and they had to retreat to the 'refuge', I saw Paul McCartney whack a particularly interested female fan on the head with his guitar to make his escape. I've always felt that I was priviledged to see them live, I was standing around 8 feet away from them and can still see & hear them in my mind's eye as if it was yesterday!!

It will be more interesting when the plan sees the light of day. When the Coalition makes it into Govt they will find entrenched water bureaucrats wedded too much to "Wentworth Group" ideas that would naturally oppose the vast majority of projects in this report. There has grown in Australia an influential group of interests in favour of more expensive water.
We are certainly paying in our water bills for the last 25 years or so when Green Anti-Dam dogmas have had too much influence. Anti-Dam sentiment allied with arm-waving arguments exaggerating the 2002-2009 drought have contributed to several uneconomic seawater desalination plants being constructed. Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane desal projects are costing us multi-tens of $Billions and stand as huge "white elephants".
Some things the Coalition could do without building a single dam.
First review all environmental flow specifications with a view to cutting them back. How crazy that the Thomson Dam for example has 35% of inflows wasted to the sea. Should add that on 5 Feb 2012 I posted – Possible Kimberley region nation building dam projects
Never used plans going back half a century.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This year's Week of Prayer for International Missions in the Southern Baptist Convention was Dec. 1-8 with the theme of "Totally His heart, hands, voice" from Matthew 22:36-39. The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions in tandem with Cooperative Program gifts from Southern Baptist churches support nearly 5,000 international missionaries in seeking to fulfill the Great Commission. Gifts to the Lottie Moon offering are received through local Southern Baptist churches or online at
, where there are resources to promote the offering. This year's goal is $175 million.
RICHMOND, Va. (BP) -- Years ago, in my wife's home church, the pastor received an unusual call on Sunday afternoon from the chairman of the church's finance committee. That morning, the church had begun collecting its annual Lottie Moon Offering for International Missions. As they were tallying the results in order to give a report that evening, the committee found an interesting response in one envelope. The envelope had been turned inside out, and the names of a couple from the congregation were printed inside.
Wanting to ensure that an offering had not fallen out, the chairman asked the pastor to phone the couple and explain the situation.
"Yes, that was our offering," said the husband when the pastor called, "and we meant it."
When asked by the pastor what they meant, the husband responded, "We couldn't think of anything better to give the Lord than ourselves. This is our decision to surrender everything to the Lord."
"Totally His!" Now that is the kind of commitment Christ expects, honors and blesses! Once it is settled that we are His heart, hands and voice, the Lord then moves us into places of incredible effectiveness.
Paul commended the churches of Macedonia by saying that, in spite of their affliction and deep poverty, they were noted for their generosity. "For I testify that according to their ability, and beyond their ability, they gave of their own accord," he wrote to the believers in Corinth.
How were these churches able to give so generously? "They first gave themselves to the Lord," Paul continued. In other words, their remarkable generosity sprung from hearts that were totally His!
During this year's Lottie Moon Offering emphasis, you will have the opportunity to hear about individuals from around the globe who have determined that Christ is worthy of their all. They are working together with Southern Baptist churches right here at home. God is using their combined efforts in some of the darkest corners of the globe. Together they are touching others with the Gospel in remarkable ways.
IMB's role is to assist you and your church in the fulfillment of the Great Commission. When you give generously to the Lottie Moon Offering, you are ensuring that you have people on the ground in some of the most broken and lost communities of the world. These are missionary personnel you have placed in position there to assist your church in fulfilling its mission.
Please join in praying that this year's emphasis will be, first and foremost, about offering ourselves to the Lord in total commitment. And once that is in place, the stage is set for an offering that reflects the kind of generosity only God inspires.
Totally His! That should be our goal at any season of the year!
See how others are being Totally His heart, hands, voice at
. Add your story and join the journey.
Through IMB's Embrace initiative, you and your church can take the Gospel to an unevangelized people group. To learn more, go to
Give to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions through your local Southern Baptist church or online at
, where there are resources for church leaders to promote the offering. See

Naval Postgraduate School Honors NCO with University's Top Army Student Award
Naval Postgraduate School Defense Analysis student Master Sgt. Jim Monroe was recently the first non-commissioned officer (NCO) to ever be awarded the Association of the U.S. Army, Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell Chapter, Award for Outstanding Army Student.
The award is presented quarterly to a resident Army student who demonstrates exemplary academic achievements and community service. Monroe was also nominated for an outstanding thesis for his work, titled "Deception: Theory and Practice," and is up for the title of distinction.
"Each of our students brings a unique skill set and background to his or her time here at NPS," said NPS Dean of Students Capt. Alan Poindexter. "Master Sgt. Monroe's accomplishments demonstrate that in academia, hard work, above all else, dictates what one can achieve. The NPS mission is to provide a quality defense-based education for men and women across ranks and services. We are proud to call him a NPS alumnus as he moves forward in his career."
After graduation, Monroe is headed to the Fourth Military Information Support Operations Command at Fort Bragg. He had previously served in the First Cavalry Division, and in operational and tactical military information support operations positions at Fort Bragg. He is proud of the support he received from his previous command, as he heard about opportunities to study at NPS.
"To me, beyond the knowledge gained in the classes, the true values of a graduate education lay in the increased understanding of how to process and synthesize information, and in how to approach problem solving," said Monroe. "As an NCO, the Defense Analysis program has improved my worth to the force – both as a leader, and as a resource for my commander.
"I was just happy to be able to study here in the first place," he added, "so to be recognized and get the Award for Outstanding Army Student was just a humbling experience."
Monroe's thesis, titled "Deception: Theory and Practice," explored military deception history and practice, an often overlooked but important topic for the military. His work was described by NPS Defense Analysis Senior Lecturer Dr. Hy Rothstein as being of a caliber not frequently seen in his 11 years at NPS.
"Today's doctrine, does not say much about deception. It's an undervalued and underappreciated tool in war," said Rothstein. "Jim shows very clearly that the benefits of deception, historically, have been remarkable. The return on investment – in training, education and material necessary for deception – have almost always produced benefits that far outweigh the investment."
"My thesis had a few different parts," Monroe noted. "For the first part, I surveyed deception within U.S. Army doctrine, and looked at reasons why the level of emphasis of deception has fluctuated over the years. In the second half of the thesis, I surveyed and synthesized the various civilian and military works on deception theory and practice. And I finished up with an overview of U.S. Army use of deception from the Revolutionary War to the present.
"Currently there is a void in unclassified deception guidance in the U.S. Army," he continued, "so I tried to go over theory and practice and create an overview designed to be used as an unofficial handbook for deception practitioners."
While Monroe is humbled by the recognition he has received, he and Rothstein agree that the topic of his research is one of importance to the defense community, and one that has not had the attention it deserves.
Monroe was one of 17 enlisted service members to graduate in the Spring quarter. Although the majority of NPS' military students are officers, senior military leaders have demonstrated a commitment to providing all qualified and eager officers, commissioned or otherwise, with advanced education opportunities. And, as Monroe and his fellow NCOs have demonstrated, the classroom provides everyone a level playing field from which to excel.
"Of course our job at the Naval Postgraduate School is to educate the people that the services send us, so it's really the services that have made the decision that education is valuable for non-commissioned officers. And I think that's a good decision," explained Rothstein. "This type of education is not for every non-commissioned officer, but it is very important for those NCOs who are going to ultimately serve on higher level staffs and for senior commanders.
"Those who will be the ones that provide advice to senior military officers need to be capable of providing thoughtful and well reasoned advice, and advanced education is one way to ensure that their advice is thoughtful, relevant and well reasoned," Rothstein continued. "This ultimately helps commanders make decisions, because they have senior enlisted folks around them whose advice is well packaged, well thought out and on target."
DA Student Wins JSOU Essay Contest
Major Dave Kenney, a U.S. Army Special Forces officer who is attending the Naval Postgraduate School, accepts his second place essay award from Dr. Brian Maher, President of Joint Special Operations University (JSOU). His essay was titled "The USSOCOM Trinity: Refining Special Operations Commitment to 21st Century Warfare." Major Kenney received his award during the 2012 National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) Special Operations/Low Intensity Conflict (SO/LIC) Division Symposium Banquet, on 7 February 2012 in Washington D.C. The first place award was presented to Ms. Eva Shinagel, a U.S. foreign affairs officer with the Department of State who is attending the National War College. Her winning essay was titled "Hearts and Minds: Islam and Afghanistan's Moral Center of Gravity." The annual essay contest is co-sponsored by JSOU and the NDIA SO/LIC Division and is open to students attending, or recently graduated from, professional military education programs. The first place winner is presented with a $1000 award and the second place winner is presented with a $500 award. The winning essays will be published in an upcoming JSOU monograph.
In September 2011, Professor Anna Simons ran the department's third OSD-sponsored Long Term Strategy Seminar with DA students. 2011's topic was "SOF 2030." Twelve U.S. officers and one CWO participated, representing Navy SEALs, Army Special Forces, Air Force Special Operations, the Air Force, and the Marine Corps. Students briefed their results in Washington in Fall 2011 to audiences in the Pentagon and at the CIA. This report summarizes that 50-minute long brief.
Army's Intellectual Center Commander Visits NPS
By MC1 Leonardo Carrillo
The Commanding General of the esteemed 'intellectual center' of the Army, the Combined Arms Center, Lt. Gen. David Perkins visited the Naval Postgraduate School for a series of briefings and meetings with faculty, staff and students, Jan 10.
The briefs represent the continuation of an exploratory visit by the Chief of Staff of the Army, Gen. Raymond Odierno, this past September, as the Army continues to support and potentially expands interest in different programs offered at the university. Perkins expressed interest in the abilities education provides his soldiers, and discussed his educational goals with leaders at NPS emphasizing the need for training programs to adapt to a changing world.
"Advanced schooling is a critical element of the professional development of our soldiers," said Perkins, "because it gives them technical skills and problem solving skills that I think are critical to operate in this increasingly ambiguous environment."
The department of Defense Analysis currently houses about half of the total number of Army officers studying at NPS. Perkins was briefed in full on the program, but also explored other curricula and research currently underway within the Graduate School of Operational and Information Sciences, and the School of International Graduate Studies (SIGS).
SIGS' Department of National Security Affairs (NSA), which specializes in the study of international relations, security policy and regional security studies, presented Perkins with a comprehensive overview of the department's programs. NSA curricula represent an intricate part of the educational requirements of Foreign Area Officers, a discipline the Army holds in high regard.
Although NPS is a naval institution, its joint, multilateral research and educational programs have been held in high respect by Army leadership for many years. And in the same way, NPS has enjoyed a significant presence of Army personnel in its student body.
As Perkins wrapped up his visit, he praised the school's international and joint environment that exposes soldiers and other service members to a similar environment they would see in the real world, an experience that would prove crucial to the formation of any leader.
"NPS has a great academic reputation," said Perkins. "It has a unique capability to focus on problems that the military is particularly concerned about. It's very difficult to see everything in one day but I think I was most impressed by the enthusiasm and dedication of the faculty, staff and students. Obviously, they are very renowned for their academics but their commitment, and in many cases sense of service, were outstanding."
Army Chief of Staff Odierno Briefed on NPS' Defense Analysis Department
By Amanda D. Stein
On Nov. 4, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Raymond Odierno visited NPS to learn firsthand about the education and research programs underway at the university. Specifically, he was briefed by several faculty and students in the school's Defense Analysis department, which enrolls approximately half of the Army students studying at NPS.
Odierno began his visit to NPS with a command brief offered by Associate Dean of the Graduate School of Operations and Information Sciences, Army Col. Robert Burks, providing an overview of the university's mission, programs and research. Odierno then attended a Defense Analysis brief presented by department Chair Dr. John Arquilla.
"I was very impressed with the depth and utility of the program of instruction at the Naval Postgraduate School," Odierno said. "Guided by a dedicated and expert faculty, the students are receiving a first-rate education that will serve them well as our nation's future senior leaders."
"Beyond special operations and information operations, I think the Army has been interested in the larger questions of Defense Analysis, which is what I think our department is all about," Arquilla explained. "When you think about which of the curricula at our school are specifically, operationally oriented, this is one that seems to fit very neatly into the needs of the Army."
With an opportunity to see specific research projects in action, Odierno was briefed by Defense Analysis students Lt. Deak Childress and Lt. John Taylor on project Lighthouse. For the students, it was a unique opportunity to directly brief a service chief on their thesis research, which utilizes social network analysis to identify and illuminate potential improvised explosive device networks. Childress and Taylor hope that their project will have lasting real-world military applications.
"We were … both extremely impressed with how quickly Gen. Odierno was able to pull the value out of a very brief discussion, and the understanding he showed of the analysis we are doing, as evidence by a couple of very pertinent questions he asked," explained Childress.
"It is absolutely vital to keep DoD senior leadership abreast of the different types of research ongoing here at NPS," he continued. "I think it shows them that the investments they are making by sending folks here is paying off, and the time spent here at Monterey is definitely not wasted. We are both Navy guys, so we didn't approach this project with any one service in mind, but our research is definitely geared more to ground operators."
At the completion of the briefing, Odierno complemented the students on their project, and encouraged them to continue the research.
"The wide variety of research and analysis that the NPS students are conducting is extremely relevant to today's complex and uncertain strategic environment," Odierno said. "I am also impressed with their enthusiasm and intellectual curiosity, attributes that will serve them well in the future as agile and adaptable leaders."
NPS Students Stabilize Shark Attack Victim
by MC1 Rob Rubio
On a crisp Saturday morning, Oct. 29, local resident Eric Tarantino, 27, was bitten along the right side of his neck and shoulder by an estimated 15–20 ft. shark while surfing at Marina State Beach in nearby Marina. As Tarantino and his friend struggled to paddle back to shore, they were fortunate to find two NPS students — Army Maj. Jonathan Bleakley and Master Sergeant Garric Banfield — who just happened to be on the beach, getting ready to paddle out and hit the waves themselves.
The two active duty service members, and NPS Defense Analysis students, with advanced training to treat acute trauma like this immediately knew something was wrong, and jumped into action. "We could tell something was going on when these two were paddling to the shore and then ran up onto the beach," Banfield said. "Someone said that he was bit by a shark, and we knew what was obviously going on. Even before we got there, we were yelling for first aid kits and one of our friends went to his vehicle to get one. With our Army training, the combat life saver training kicked in and we were calm and able to assist the victim."
After what seemed like an eternity for both the victim and rescuers, paramedics arrived in just eight minutes to take over. The students knew the victim was experiencing significant blood loss, and their quick response limited this, but they take little credit for their actions.
Bleakley remarked, "I take no credit for it other than having the Army training that I did. I was very impressed with how my training turned to him. I'm thankful that we have that training." Army officers get advanced trauma care training at Fort Bragg, Banfield added. "We're not medics by any means, but we have been trained in Tactical Combat Casualty Care, which is similar to the Army's combat life saver training with some more advanced trauma care thrown in."
"I'm glad that I was able to do it. I'm glad that I had the training to be able to do it," Bleakley noted. "I feel privileged that I was able to help him out … and was able to use my training when it was needed."

This Christmas morning, John Cook will wake early as he normally does. He will set aside his wife Harriet's medications – six pills in the morning and six in the evening – and get her up and dressed. He will prepare and feed her breakfast, check her blood sugar and give her insulin .
He will remind Harriet – or Hatsy, as she's known by friends and family – several times throughout the day that he is her husband, that they have been married for 53 years, that they have a daughter and that he loves her.
Then, on Thursday, he will endure the most difficult decision he's ever had to make throughout their more than half-century together: to move Hatsy from their West Chester home into a nursing facility at The Emeritus at Long Cove Pointe in Mason.
"It's been the hardest job that I've ever had," said Cook, 74, of the 10 years he's spent caring for Harriet since she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease at age 63.
It's a process Cook says has been made easier by a complimentary home visit program offered by Emeritus Senior Living, which operates the facility in Mason and another in Edgewood.
The Seattle-based company launched the free service in 2009 at each of its more than 470 assisted-living and memory care facilities nationwide. Emeritus staff donate their time and services to the program.

Some days, it feels like demons made of fire are gnawing on my muscles, or like knives are stabbing me in every major muscle and joint.
When my PCP first sent me to the hospital for abdominal X-rays four years ago, the radiologist wanted to know what kinds of symptoms I'd been experiencing. "I don't have an appetite," I told her. "I wish I had that problem," she responded.

When Yonkers Raceway fell on hard times, the Rooney family came up with the idea to add a casino, as it had been doing in Pittsburgh and other places. In the beginning, the family didn't focus too much on food and beverage, knowing that most of the people coming to the Empire City Casino were there just for the gaming.
How did you get into the industry?
By chance, I literally started working as a receptionist in 1977 at the Larchmont Yacht Club and worked there through college right through my time at Arizona State. I progressed and ended up being the Maitre d' and Captain. To tell you the truth I grew up in very modest means and I though that if I worked at a club I would learn how people of wealth and successful means were made and that it would rub off on me and with that would come the key to wealth.
What prompted the creation of ROC?
9/11, on September 11, there was a restaurant at the top of the World Trade Center, Tower 1. And there were 72 workers who died that morning in the restaurant. And about 250 workers who lost their jobs. And so we started the organization initially to support the workers who had lost their jobs. But we were soon overwhelmed with calls for help from workers. First from all over the city and then all over the country. And that's how ROC grew.
How did you get into the industry?
I originally planned to go to law school after college, but decided to take a summer job working for my grandfather at Admiration Foods after graduation. My grandfather was very old school. He would never give you anything unless you earned it. It didn't matter that I was his grandchild, if I wanted to get paid I had to prove myself to him. I enrolled in a business law and an accounting class, and he started to include me as an integral member of his executive team.
Managing Director of Notar Hospitality, Richie Notar answers some questions and talks about his experiences in the foodservice industry.
So what attracted you to the opportunity at NJRA?
I had been a member actually through my previous employer with the restaurant association and had worked closely with Deborah Dowdell on a state tourism committee. So for 10 years we served on the New Jersey Travel Industry Association together.
I knew Deborah, I knew the organization. I'd been involved and attended some of the events. So, you know it was not new to me. I was very aware of the excellent reputation that it has in the state of New Jersey. It was unfortunately the sadness of Deborah's passing because she was the Restaurant Association. It's a wonderful opportunity. I'm excited to be here but at the same time, every day I walk in this office I do think of her.
How did you get into the industry?
Like many of my colleagues, I started my career in front of a sink in the dish room. During high school, I was a "pearl diver" at a restaurant in my hometown of Olympia, Washington. The food bug bit me early. I stayed in the industry, in various positions, while in college and when I graduated I began feeding college kids with a company called SAGA.
How did you get involved in the industry?
I actually kind of fell into it. After completing my Architecture studies I then went on to get an MBA - the idea of a combination of creativity and business always interested me. During school I worked for a few caterers and then managed a 4 star resort and I really loved the service business. I then started up a catering company for Matthew Kenney, who was a star New York Chef. And that began Olivier Cheng Catering.
What brought you into the industry?
I was born in the industry. My grandfather opened a restaurant in Toronto in 1961 called La Scala, same name as the opera house in Milan. My father joined him on the first day, and then I was literally born there in 1965.
So how did you get into the industry?
How did I get into the industry? Well, it was a chance meeting at a restaurant in Manhattan called The Ballroom It was owned by a very famous chef at the time. His name was Felipe Rojas-Lombardi. He had been an assistant of the great James Beard at his cooking school and was very well connected. He had opened the first tapas bar in the US with a cabaret where many great singers like Peggy Lee performed.

Make that blues. We will all have the blues when they are done.How about those federal employees that haven´t paid their taxes ? Click Here if you Like this Comment
Stopping tax deductions is a tax increase on those who take advantage of them. Once they are gone they will never come back. Then, when the govn spends all that money, which they will before they even get it, a future congress will come along and raise taxes yet again. It never stops. Click Here if you Like this Comment

Ronald Reagan made this sort of deal with the left when he got rid of deductions for credit card interest and the left never cut spending like they promised.I think getting rid of this deduction led to the recesion that eventually cost old man Bush his 2nd term not to mention him making another deal with the slick,lying left.I´m all for raising taxes on liberals so they feel the pain of paying for their social schemes but homeowners are under enough stress with property taxes and insurance going up. Then you have Obamacare coming down the pike hitting homeowners simply because they work and are targets of the left.The people that really need taxing are the types that bundled and donated to Obama at $50,000 a pop.

I don´t fancy paying taxes on tax. Too much double taxation already. Any money that has been taken from me by one gov´t agency should not be there to be taxed by another. This has gone too far already. At the gas pump we pay the price of the fuel, state and federal excise tax are added, then we pay sales tax on the total. There are a lot of other examples like this. It is not fair to tax money that I never had available to use in the first place. Click Here if you Like this Comment
A tax by any other name is still a tax. We are taxed to much and spend more than to much. We are capitulating to propaganda. Cut the Federal government across the board, which will require those heads of departments to live within their means. That might mean no more lavish vacations and no raises for a few years; so be it.The insane are making the decisions; it is sickening. Click Here if you Like this Comment

ATHENS, W.Va. - Arizona native Chelsea Brumby had her best game as a University of Charleston Golden Eagle, hitting all five of her 3-point attempts to spark UC to an 81-69 West Virginia Conference victory over Concord (3-8, 2-3) at the Carter Center on Thursday.
Brumby had made only 21.6 percent (11-51) of her 3-pointers entering the game, but sparked a 14-of-32 team showing for the Golden Eagles (6-4, 3-3).
Brumby finished with 17 points, while LeAnne Ross had 14 points and nine rebounds and Nichole Perry and Jessi Cowden added 12 apiece.
Andrea Bertrand carried the Mountain Lions with 30 points and 11 rebounds. Former South Charleston and W.Va. State point guard Sissy Wagner had five points and six rebounds for Concord.
The Golden Eagles, who concluded a 17-day break before the Concord game, gets back into action at 2 p.m. Jan. 5 when it visits W.Va. Wesleyan.

Fuel prices dip below $2 per gallon on peninsula
Published on Wed, Dec 3, 2008 by
Ashley Miller
Read More
Sequim residents may notice more change jingling around in their pockets than usual.
This could be a result of decreasing gasoline prices.
Regular unleaded gas, averaging $1.99 in Sequim, is cheaper than it's been in more than two years, according to GasBuddy.com, a Web site that compares fuel prices throughout the nation. Plus, premium and diesel fuel are slightly higher, ranging in price from $2.09 to $2.79.
Gas is cheaper in Port Angeles than Sequim. Regular unleaded gas dipped as low as $1.89 at the Arco station on South Lincoln Street on Dec. 1, with the national average slightly lower at $1.82 per gallon - 94 cents cheaper than one year ago.
During the summer months, gasoline prices hovered around the $4 mark on the North Olympic Peninsula, reaching as high as $4.35 in Seattle and surrounding areas, the American Automobile Association reported.
"It has nothing to do with supply and demand," said
Sequim resident Roger Crook. "It's artificial pricing. And I find it very interesting that in Sequim prices are higher here than in downtown San Francisco."
Nonetheless, Crook said he is relieved to see gasoline prices dropping. "It's nice to see some sanity come back to gas prices," he said, adding that he's glad
Sequim gas stations are relatively the same price, a vast difference from the "gas wars" he witnessed between stations within blocks of each other growing up.
Tips to save
money on gas
The type of car or truck a person drives, how it's maintained and how he or she drives are the most important factors in both conserving fuel and staying safe behind the wheel. Here are some tips from the American Automobile Association designed to help people save gasoline and money:
• If you own more than one car - especially if one of your vehicles is a less fuel-efficient vehicle such as a pickup truck, sport utility vehicle or van - use the more energy-conserving vehicle as often as possible.
• Consolidate trips and errands to cut down on driving time and miles traveled.
• Find one location where you can take care of banking, grocery shopping and other chores. "Comparison shop" by phone, online or through newspaper ads.
• Slow down. The faster a vehicle travels, the more fuel it burns.
• Avoid quick starts and sudden stops. This wastes fuel, is harder on vehicle components and increases the odds of a traffic crash.
• Lighten the load. Don't haul extra weight in the passenger compartment, trunk or cargo area of your vehicle. A heavier vehicle uses more gasoline.
• Keep your eyes open for low fuel prices but don't waste gas driving to a distant filling station to save a few cents.
• Stick to a routine maintenance schedule. Keeping tires inflated, moving components properly lubricated and ignition and emission systems operating properly will help ensure maximum fuel efficiency and extend the life of your vehicle.
• Know the correct starting procedure for your car. Don't race a cold engine to warm it up or allow it to idle for an extended time. Avoid rapid acceleration until the engine temperature is in the normal range. The engine will warm up faster under a light load and emissions equipment will begin to function sooner.
• Maintain steady speeds for the best fuel economy. A car uses extra fuel when it accelerates.
• Minimize the need to brake by anticipating traffic conditions. Be alert for slowdowns and red lights ahead of you and decelerate by coasting whenever possible.
• Travel at moderate speeds on the open road. Higher speeds require more fuel to overcome air resistance. Remember, however, speeds slower than the flow of traffic can create a traffic hazard.
• Use the air conditioner conservatively. Most air conditioners have an "economy" or "recirculation" setting that reduces the amount of hot outside air that must be chilled. Both settings can reduce the air-conditioning load - and save gas.
National averages, according
to the American Automobile Association:
Vehicle fuel efficiency: 24.4 miles per gallon
Miles driven per day: 29
Minutes spent driving per day: 55
Household incomes spent on transportation: 19 percent
U.S. households that own two or more vehicles: 65 percent

Cardinal on Binoculars
Personalized Christmas Ornament
The bright red color of the cardinal is contrasted with the deep black of its face and piercing eyes. Found in North and South America, these seed eating birds have very strong beaks that allow them to break open hard shelled seeds. You will love how this beautiful resin cardinal bird sitting on a pair of binoculars is so detailed that you can see the little striations in the feathers making it appear rea or carved out of wood. Named after the color of a Catholic Cardinal's vestments a cardinal has bright red plumage and are a welcome sight in winter against the backdrop of snow covered trees.

Emily Oster Answers Your Pregnancy Questions
Last week, we solicited your questions for economist Emily Oster, a Freakonomics favorite and author of the new book Expecting Better: Why the Conventional Pregnancy Wisdom Is Wrong-and What You Really Need to Know. Oster's answers are below and address everything from how fertility declines with age to whether pregnant women can still safely indulge in caffeine, fish, and transatlantic travel. A big thanks to Emily — and to all of you for your excellent questions. Read More »
What You Should and Shouldn't Do When You're Pregnant: Submit Your Questions for Emily Oster
If you've ever been pregnant, or been close to someone who is pregnant, you know how many prohibitions there are. You can't smoke or drink. Shellfish are to be avoided. In my house, conveniently (for the pregnant woman), scooping the cat litter was absolutely out of the question. Of course, there are also a large number of things you have to do when you are pregnant or are thinking of getting pregnant, like take folic acid.
Is there any evidence to support all these pregnancy rules? My good friend and colleague Emily Oster (whose research has been featured in SuperFreakonomics and many times on the blog), has just written the definitive book on the subject, entitled Expecting Better: Why the Conventional Pregnancy Wisdom Is Wrong-and What You Really Need to Know. She has generously agreed to answer blog reader questions, so fire away in the comments section below and, as always, we'll post her answers in good time!

The Authors of The Org Answer Your Questions
Last week, we solicited your questions for Ray Fisman and Tim Sullivan, authors of The Org: The Underlying Logic of the Office. Below you will find their very interesting answers. Thanks to all for playing along, and especially to Fisman and Sullivan.
Q. I work in an office with stark contrasts in the cultures of different departments. Has there been research on the success/failures of forcing departments to assimilate/work together more? -Drew
A. A 2003 experiment by economists Colin Camerer and Roberto Weber was designed to speak to exactly the question you're asking: What are the challenges of cross-cultural interaction, and what difficulties present themselves when two distinct cultures are forced together?
Each participant in their experiment viewed a matrix of sixteen office scenes on a computer screen. The participants were randomly paired up and put in the roles of "manager" and "employee." Managers' screens highlighted and numbered eight of the pictures. Their job was to communicate to the employee, through instant messaging, the eight highlighted scenes in order. The employee had to identify the picture the manager was describing. Simple enough. Read More »

How to Get the Best out of College? Your Questions Answered

How to Get the Best out of College? Bring Your Questions
We recently put out a two-part podcast called "Freakonomics Goes to College" (Part 1 here, Part 2 here, and together as an hour-long special). The main question we tried to answer was if, and on what dimensions, a college education is "worth it" — i.e., whether the returns to education are as robust as we've been led to think. (Short answer: yes.) Along the way, we talked to economists including David Card, Betsey Stevenson, and Justin Wolfers, and poked into the market for counterfeit degrees.
But let's say you're interested in the question from a practical, rather than a theoretical, perspective. That is, let's say you're an actual college student, or related to one, already deep in the throes of higher education, and that your primary question is: Okay, now what? Now that I'm here, what do I do to get the very most out of this expensive, time-consuming endeavor?
Glad you asked. Peter D. Feaver, Sue Wasiolek, and Anne Crossman are the authors of Getting the Best Out of College: Insider Advice for Success From a Professor, a Dean, and a Recent Grad, and they have agreed to field questions from Freakonomics readers. Read More »
The End of Men Author Hanna Rosin Answers Your Questions
We recently solicited your questions for Hanna Rosin, author of the new book The End of Men (and the Rise of Women). Here now are her replies, which include an explanation of the book's title and possible solutions to the wage gap. Thanks to everyone for playing along, and especially to Rosin for fielding so many of your good questions.
Q. What do you think about the feminization of higher education; that is, more female faculty and administrators resulting in more policy creation by women or influenced by them? -Gary
A. This has been the conservative explanation for why boys are having trouble in schools. It was advanced, for example, by Christina Hoff Sommers in her 2000 Atlantic story "The War Against Boys." I think it's a valid but somewhat limited explanation. For one thing, it's not new. Psychologist G. Stanley Hall began promoting this theory in 1908 in his influential essay "Feminization in School and Home." The problem with it is it implies a kind of coordinated conspiracy by women to influence young minds. The truth is that women have taken over teaching because, as has happened often in our economy, once women start to enter a profession the men tend to flee. That's really the men's problem, as I see it, not the women's. It would be fabulous and solve a lot of problems if more men would become teachers. It also has to do with the fact that teaching is one of the rare profession in the U.S. that allows for enough flexibility for a parent to be able to spend a reasonable amount of time with his or her family, both on a weekly basis and on summer vacations. That's the fault of the American workforce, which is so resistant to flexible working and a reasonable amount of vacation time. Read More »
Bring Your Questions for Hanna Rosin, Author of The End of Men
"In the Great Recession, three-quarters of the 7.5 million jobs lost were lost by men," writes Hanna Rosin, author of the new book The End of Men (and the Rise of Women). "The worst-hit industries were overwhelmingly male, and deeply identified with macho: construction, manufacturing, high finance. Some of those jobs have come back, but the dislocation is neither random nor temporary. The recession merely revealed — and accelerated — a profound economic shift that has been going on for at least thirty years, and in some respects even longer."
Rosin's book (here are some reviews), based on her controversial 2010 Atlantic essay, explores the new American marriage divide, the education gap between young men and women around the world, and the new Asian power women. Read More »

The Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery
Once merely a remote monastery hidden by lush, mountain scenery, the Po Lin Monastery made it to the world map when the extraordinary Tian Tan Buddha statue (informally known as the Big Buddha) was erected in 1993. Sitting 34 metres high and facing north to look over the Chinese people, this majestic bronze Buddha draws pilgrims from all over Asia.
The eyes, lips, incline of the head and right hand, which is raised to deliver a blessing to all, combine to bring a humbling depth of character and dignity to the massive Buddha, which took 12 years to complete. Climb the 268 steps for a closer look at this remarkable statue, and to enjoy the sweeping mountain and sea views that can be seen from its base.
Opposite the statue, the Po Lin Monastery is one of Hong Kong's most important Buddhist sanctums and has been dubbed 'the Buddhist World in the South'. Home to many a devout monk, this monastery is rich with colourful manifestations of Buddhist iconography and its pleasant garden is alive with birdsong and flowery scents. You can also enlighten your appetite at their popular vegetarian restaurant.

Paymate Payment
13 January 2009 at 7:31pm
Has anyone setup the New Zealand "paypal" equiverlant website, www.paymate.co.nz to work with SS?
Going to try set it up for a website I'm running the e-commerce module on but thought I should ask first if someone else had already done this seeing as its a NZ merchant.
Re: Paymate Payment
18 February 2009 at 9:49pm
Hi Brad
I have integrated the payment Module from www.paymex.co.nz - another NZ based credit card payment facility
They provide an excellent reliable service and it takes minutes to set up an account with Paymex
It is very easy to integrate into the E-commerce module (one PaymexPayment.php in the code directory file plus additions to _config.php) and good documentation.Its a Sub-class of Payment that supports the Paymex Start-Up account as its payment processor
* The Start-Up account allows us to redirect the customer to a secure payment page, and be returned back to Paymex
* upon success.
Original version written by Paymex Limited with support from Jack Pivac (Delphinus) July 2008You can download the code from http://www.paymex.co.nz/kb.aspx?id=30
So give it a try!
Regards Karl

If you're still interested in Paymate I have a payment method in development for this and would appreciate any testing.
It's not an overly complicated method and you should be able to use it in production as is, just needs more work on handling the response.Let me know if you want me to send it.

I'd be keen to assist with testing this code out - can you want to post a zip file up and I can test this -
Re: Paymate Payment
2 April 2009 at 1:50pm
Great thanks for that.
What versions of SS and ecommerce are you running? Same goes for anyone else interested ...
The last stable build of ecommerce (0.5.2) doesn't really work with SS 2.3+ and there are some huge changes between 0.5.2 and the current trunk version (which works better with SS v2.3).
Because of this, I am re-coding the Paymate payment class to work on the current trunk version of ecommerce and am mostly there, just have to get my head around (intelligently) dealing with payment records and receipt emails.
Should have a working version by the end of the week and will post it then.

How is that paymate payment method going? I was about to start writing one myself, until I saw this thread.

In the end I didn't need to implement credit card payments on the site... so never tried to get this working... But if you get something make sure ya post it up =D
