Teaching Strengths
- Relationship Builder- In order for students to effectively learn, they need to know, be known by and trust their teacher. I foster this kind of relationship by being accessible and real with my students, by not judging them, and by caring for them genuinely.
- Energy- Students need to see that their teacher is happy to be with them and passionate about their subject. Energy is contagious and I have found that as I display my excitement for my subject and their success, students join me and become more engaged.
- Professional- The effective teacher is one that models professionalism in all that they do. A professional comes prepared to focus on the important task at hand throughout the day. A professional knows where their boundaries and limits are and acts accordingly. A professional knows that their appearance can either support or detract from their message and presents appropriately. A professional is a skilled communicator whether spoken, written, or digital. I am a professional.
- Growing- Students deserve a teacher who constantly strives to improve their person and practice. They need models who admit when they are wrong and passionately embrace a better way. I am on the same path I want my students to be on; the path of the learner. I look forward to learning and improving as a teacher every day that I am privileged to be one.

Shimano BB92 Bottom Bracket $59.95
Along with BB86, this Shimano BB92 Bottom Bracket is part of the new pressfit standard. It offers frame designers a little more room for new designs in seat/down tubes and rear suspension layout. Where a typical mountain bike has a 68 or 73mm bottom bracket shell width, a BB92 equipped bike has a shell that measures 91.5mm wide. A BB92 shell lacks internal threads and has a 41mm inside diameter.
This Shimano BB92 Bottom Bracket is made to press right into your bike. It will mate your Shimano HollowTech crankset to any frame equipped with a BB92 bottom bracket shell. This bottom bracket comes with two steel cartridge bearings pressed into composite cups. The cups increase the outside diameter of the assembly to 41mm to match the i.d. of the frame's bottom bracket shell. There is a 1.75mm thick outer lip that provides a positive stop for the cups when you press them into place. Shimano includes their standard plastic o-ringed inner sleeve to protect against water damage should it find a way inside your frame. It uses black plastic dust shields that snap into the inner race of each bearing.
*Note: BB91 and BB92 are identical bottom brackets.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The PF BB92 bottom bracket is intended for mountain bikes (compared to the PF BB86 made for road bikes). It's super easy to install since it's a press fit. The bearings quality is good, longevity dependent on riding conditions. Wet or sandy conditions will result in shorter bearing life.
Some things to consider: If you're installing in a carbon frame you might want to use carbon specific grease. It will reduce noise found later on down the trail.
Be particularly careful with the inner races during the install, they crack easily if misaligned in your press or if you decide to take action with a hammer.
Pay attention to the instructions regarding how to orient any spacers, your bike design and front derailleur type impact the BB spacing.

[JURIST] Three leading Republican senators, John W. Warner (R-VA) [official profile], John McCain (R-AZ) [official profile], and Lindsey O. Graham (R-SC) [official profile], on Wednesday condemned President Bush's statement that he can bypass the newly-passed ban [JURIST report] on torture [JURIST news archive] under his commander in chief powers. The statement [JURIST document] made by Bush when he signed the 2006 defense spending bill [JURIST report] last week, that he can waive the restrictions on the use of cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment against detainees to protect national security, was contained in a "signing statement," or official document in which a president voices his interpretation of a new law. A joint statement [text] issued by Senators Warner and McCain, the lawmakers said:
We believe the President understands Congresss intent in passing by very large majorities legislation governing the treatment of detainees included in the 2006 Department of Defense Appropriations and Authorization bills. The Congress declined when asked by administration officials to include a presidential waiver of the restrictions included in our legislation. Our Committee intends through strict oversight to monitor the Administrations implementation of the new law.

Coverage: ROOT
8:10 PM ET, April 20, 2013
Coors Field, Denver, Colorado
DENVER -- With another strong outing behind him, Jorge De La Rosa believes that at long last his comeback from reconstructive surgery on his pitching elbow is complete.
De La Rosa pitched six innings of two-hit ball, Michael Cuddyer homered and the Colorado Rockies won their season-high eighth in a row by beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-3 on Saturday night.It was the first win at Coors Field for De La Rosa (2-1) since returning late last year from Tommy John surgery on his left elbow. He missed more than a year after tearing an elbow ligament on May 24, 2011, in another outing Arizona."That's in the past," De La Rosa said. "I feel very good right now."Good enough to resume his mastery at home of the Diamondbacks, improving to 7-0 with a 1.38 ERA in eight career starts against Arizona at Coors Field."It doesn't matter what team is out there," De La Rosa said. "I'm trying to pitch the same way every time. Yorvit (Torrealba) called a very good game. I just threw whatever he wanted and where he wanted it. I trust him a lot, and the defense made a lot of good plays behind me."De La Rosa struck out four and walked two and didn't allow a run in a second consecutive six-inning outing as the Rockies ran their home record to 8-0. Colorado is the only team in the majors without a loss at home."We swung at some mighty good pitches," said Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson, who was ejected from a game for the first time this season. "He kept the ball down and threw a lot of off-speed pitches."The Rockies' Carlos Gonzalez said De La Rosa has regained his pre-injury form."We know what kind of pitcher he is and he's starting to get that momentum again," Gonzalez said. "He missed a lot of time, but now he's feeling back to the way he used to be."Cuddyer connected for his fourth homer of the season in the sixth, driving the first offering from Trevor Cahill (0-3) into the left field bleachers. It's the first time in Cahill's career that he's started a season with three straight losses.The Diamondbacks also lost Gibson and outfielder Cody Ross to ejections midway through the seventh. Both were tossed by home-plate umpire Chad Fairchild for arguing balls and strikes.Ross said he was upset with himself and the Diamondbacks' lack of results at the plate as much as the umpire's call."I was frustrated with myself, for us not swinging the bat the last few games. It's just a lot of frustration," Ross said.An error that ended their eight-game run without one as well as a base-running mistake also cost Arizona.Josh Rutledge, rounding third on Reid Brignac's second-inning single to right, was caught in a rundown but wound up scoring when catcher Wil Nieves threw the ball into the dirt for an error as he chased the runner back towards third. The ball rolled past the bag into left field, allowing Rutledge to score easily.Trailing 3-0, Arizona got a leadoff single from Martin Prado in the fourth. Paul Goldschmidt followed with a deep fly ball to center, and Prado tagged up and tried to advance but was cut down at second by center fielder Dexter Fowler's throw and Rutledge's relay to shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, who was covering the bag.The Rockies' defense also nipped another fledgling Arizona rally in the fifth. Nieves drew a one-out walk and Josh Wilson followed with a grounder up the middle that looked like it would get through. But Tulowitzki ranged to his left, dipped his glove down to snag the ball and quickly flipped it to Rutledge for the force before the second baseman fired to first for the inning-ending double play.Arizona didn't break through until Eric Chavez hit a two-run, pinch-hit home run in the eighth off reliever Edgmer Escalona."Eric gave us a lift. We just were not able to finish it out," Gibson said.The Diamondbacks loaded the bases with one out in the ninth against closer Rafael Betancourt with a double by A.J. Pollock, a single by Goldschmidt and a walk by Gerardo Parra.Pollock scored from third on pinch-hitter Miguel Montero's groundout to first before Betancourt got Nieves to fly out to right for his seventh save in seven chances.In the third, Eric Young Jr. led off with a triple that rolled to the center field wall. Cahill hit the next batter, Fowler, with a pitch that caught him on the right wrist. After Fowler stole second, Young scored and Fowler advanced on Gonzalez's ground out. Tulowitzki then lifted a fly to deep left that scored Fowler."You're not going to hit home runs all the time," Fowler said. "You're not always going to hit doubles and score guys from first. So you've got to do the little things to win the games."Game notes
Rockies pitcher Jhoulys Chacin was scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday to try to determine the severity of a back injury that brought a premature end to his impressive outing Friday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks. ... Parra replaced Ross after his seventh inning ejection. ... Jason Kubel's stay on the 15-day disabled list could be extended after an MRI found a fluid buildup in his left quad. ... Arizona's RHP Brandon McCarthy (0-2) is slated to pitch Sunday's series finale against Colorado RHP Juan Nicasio (2-0).

Josh Barnett walked into Strikeforce as one of the heaviest favorites on the card against relative unknown Nandor Guelmino, and he treated him as such.
For weeks leading up to the fight, Barnett has been dealing with the flu and just couldn't seem to shake it, saying after the fight was over that he only got in about 2 days of really solid training for his whole camp.
But in classic Barnett form, he wasn't looking to make excuses and he certainly didn't show any signs of illness in the cage.
"You don't sit around, bitching and complaining and throwing excuses around. You get in there and either you die like a man or you leave your opponent dead, and you stand victorious," said Barnett.
Well, Barnett's post fight speech may have lasted longer than his fight because he just walked through Guelmino in the brief time they spent together in the cage.
Barnett charged across the cage and took Guelmino to the ground, but actually missed on his first submission attempt when he went for an ankle lock in the opening moments.
Obviously Barnett wasn't deterred because just seconds later he had Guelmino back on the mat again, this time in the mount and it didn't long for the "Warmaster" to go to work.
A confused and panicked Guelmino put up an arm to either block Barnett or just give him the submission because in one fluid motion, the former UFC champion locked up a head and arm choke and the tap out came almost as quickly as the hold was applied.
"I fight to entertain the crowd. I bring death so you guys can all cheer. Are you not entertained?" Barnett shouted after picking up the quick submission win.
The more interesting part of the fight came afterwards when Barnett was posed with the million-dollar question of the evening – will he end up in the UFC after tonight?
"So you're asking me if I'm going to go over to the UFC like every other schmuck-jabroni reporter has been asking me this whole time. Am I going to go to the UFC? I have no idea where I'm going to end up at this point. But you know what there are a lot of heavyweights out there in the world, sacked away in their little organizations, and all I've got to say to them is run cowards!" said Barnett.
"You can hide behind any fence you want, any ring in the world, but eventually I will find you, and I will take your head."
Barnett would be a good addition to the UFC heavyweight division, but it remains to be seen if he will end up there or in another promotion after Strikeforce shutters its doors.
Barnett vs Mir.
I think Barnett feels after his many failed drug tests thatvtheres a good chance Dana won't bring him over. Bit if like yo see him in the octagon again. I doubt he would ever hold the belt again but he'd certainly be a good gatekeeper for up and coming talent. If he's still using rounds though, he may know his vest chance to fight and make a little money is over seas where no testing is done. Good luck Barnett wherever you land. Good guy and tough fighter.
Very interesting character
his interviews sound like WWE soundbytes. Taking heads and bringing death. Although I respect his talent and the fact that he is a fighter, I didn't like him much the first time he was in the UFC and the feeling's still the same. Toss in all the times he's been popped for shooting 'roids, as a fan I say let him go "take heads" in the little shows.
He's ALWAYS interviewes like that. Thats why he has such a fan base in Japan and pretty much everywhere he goes. He has been cutting Chael Sonnen promos before Chael Sonnen was. Lord knows Chael can sell a fight like no one else, so why would you not want another guy like that?
Granted he failed some drug tests but its been years since that.
Dana would be foolish to not scoop Barnett up with how shallow the heavyweight division is. A fight with him against Roy Nelson would be awesome and lead to some very humorous verbal confrontations.
Chael Sonnen promos are wwwwaaaaaaaaayyyy better than The Roidmaster's ANY DAY of the week dude! Barnet always sounds like he is trying to screen test for the next "straight to video" sequel to The Highlander movie! LOL
As far as Barnet vs Nelson, no. I'd rather see him fight Mir. Outside that, he can go back to that Japan Real Pro Wrestling thingy and take heads and fight dragons in the small shows. He missed his chance and screwed himself past his prime. Only the hardcore fans even know who he is and even a portion of them have been watching MMA long enough to remember seeing him in the UFC while he was there.
Barnett a gatekeeper- how high are your standards?
The elephant in the room, is why people have to 'wonder' if a top 5 Hwt is going to be accepted to the UFC
No professional athlete should have to pass a scrotum test to compete (what happened to Todd Duffee was atrocious). Dana White's ego is making UFC look like WWE, and I hope it stops. Especially before the general public notices
Didn't Josh just get thrown around like a school girl by Daniel Cormier a few month's back??? Quiet down Josh….

Unfortunately that is true as escalating political stunts to this level is neither as respectable as a game nor as meaningful in outcomes. What is noteworthy in this quote in reaction to some White House operatives statement about winning - while ignoring Rand Paul's similar quote made in private to McConell - is that it is typical of republican strategy now where "gotcha" politics and 1984 style rebranding of the event is all that is left. Like decrying Obama's refusal to "negotiate" they are left with trying to sell the idea that they are the victims of this event, which is wholly of their making. If the phrase "chutzpah" didn't exist we'd have to invent it.
Both sides are playing games, and we're the only losers. Can we just recall/no confidence the whole lot and start over?
row- your boy could end this and has stated publicly he will not negotiate Boehner is offering to fund everything including preaBO care if prezBO will agree to a 1 your delay in the personal mandate like prezBO gave Corporations and also take away the 72% perk preaBO gave Congress for prezBO care- sounds not only reasonable but fair
That's the thing, he truly could. But he apparently has to do whatever it takes so that those damned Republicans don't "win."
Delaying the mandate = delaying incentive to enroll = stalling until after the midterms = one more GOP shot to kill it before people learn to like it and get used to it
It does actually sound rather reasonable, but I'm still not sure that this compromise doesn't represent an example of black mail. It's a tough decision to decide to reward a group for defunding the government because they want to win a battle that they lost fair and square. When Cruz is the president, are you going to be ok with the dems shutting down the government, until the capital gains tax is raised? Of course not. That issue was already decided by legal process.
To be fair, the republicans could truly end this as well, by simply allowing laws that have already been passed to be enacted, but apparently they have to do whatever it takes so that that damned Obamacare doesn't "win". I'm not really sure why we should see Obama as being in a unique position to end this.
true rade- but then we also have the issue of a prez acting outside the Constitution making changes to that pass and signed law to the point that the law that was passed and what is about to go into effect are not the same law
Perhaps, but who should decide if this claim is true? I imagine that the constitution does not charge the opposing congressional caucus with this task. If what Obama is doing is illegal, there should be a legal recourse, no? And if not, there should be a legal recourse to create a legal recourse. I just don't think we want to set a precedent where the opposing party is allowed to decide the legality of laws passed primarily by the first party.
Boehner could end this by allowing the House to do their job and vote on the continuing resolution which the Senate passed and sent over to the House for a vote. The purpose of negotiating is to get enough votes to pass the bill. There are already enough votes to pass the bill. Therefore no negotiating is necessary. The number keeps changing, but I think we are up to 24 House Republicans who have said that they would vote for the continuing resolution if Boehner would allow it to come before the House for a vote. The bill can pass with as few as 17 Republican votes. Why isn't Boehner letting the House do its job?
it does rade and the pubs out of fear of the race card have sat on their hands-which only emboldens these clowns I have zero faith in Boehner's leadership but he is what they have phil did you get furloughed if you have a position on a subject that you feel is worth fighting for then you fight for it
You start a fight then blame others for hitting back. Cruz leads the idiotic and blames away. Boner wont let the house vote on anything that will pass the senate. Yet it is theit fault when they dont vote for things we all know they wouldnt while our economy suffers
look at some point we have to hope our side will take a stand and not allow libs to continue to steamroll us into total socialism
Cutting off a leg to cure an ingrown toenail isnt my thing. Win the Senate and Whitehouse and you do stop your boggieman. Hurting America worse with your cure isnt much of a plan and may have the opposite result.
The premise from the OP is just so ludicrous. Our President doesn't govern. It's all slimy politics and games all day every day. What a joke.
American laws have been changed since 1776. Women were not allowed to vote. Blacks were not allowed to vote. Abortions were illegal. Sam and Bruce could not marry. Ethel and Francine could not marry.
But what is more important, (1) stopping liberals or (2) following the established government process? If you answer #1, then you implicitly support liberals also breaking constitutional protocol. Sometimes you lose, and this happens to both sides all the time. This is how the government was designed.
They only care about winning. When they win, it's all "sit down, shut up, we won." When they lose, it's all "hey, give us what we want anyway." It's an unprecedented arrogance level.
here is your sign... in other words, "we know it sucks but we know whats better for you, like it or we will shove it down your throat"

Sen. Matt Smith introduces license transfer legislation
State Sen. Matt Smith, D-Mt. Lebanon, recently introduced legislation aimed at easing the transfer of professional licenses for military spouses. The legislation would allow military spouses to move more rapidly and efficiently into the workforce by providing a streamlined process to obtain the transfer of professional licenses into the state.
"Military spouses endure one of the most mobile positions in our country, which can make the maintenance of a professional license a significant obstacle," Smith said.
The transfer process can prove time consuming and costly, causing delays in employment and preventing the utilization of valuable skills in the workplace. Often, transference of professional licenses becomes cumbersome to the point where military spouses abandon their careers, Smith said.
Smith's legislation would allow for Pennsylvania's approximately 30 professional boards to issue accountants, nurses, social workers, real estate agents and others to work while they satisfy any requirements in the state.
Currently, 27 states have passed similar legislation.

Remember the Alienware M11x? Back at CES 2010 it won the Best of CES: Gaming award, simply because we were pretty impressed by its compact combination of nearly Netbook size and mainstream gaming-readiness. Months later, we finally have our hands on the final version.
The compactness, especially in terms of width and depth, still struck us upon removing the M11x from its box. It is, however, pretty thick, especially considering that it lacks an optical drive. While this thickness-to-size ratio keeps its Alienware look intact, it's chunkier than most other ultraportables.
A sturdy-feeling frame and slightly compressed but otherwise Alienware-quality keyboard are much better than average, as is the comfortable, large touch pad. The M11x's 11.6-inch, 1,366x768 screen looked good behind its edge-to-edge glossy veneer, but there was quite a bit of glare and colors weren't as bright or rich as we expected under bright lights. The audio, however, is astounding for the M11x's size--built-in 5.1 speakers are crisp, loud, and good enough to enhance the gaming experience on their own.
The U7300 Core 2 ULV processor on the M11x is a processor we've seen on thin-and-lights and ultraportables. It offers a close-to-Core-2-Duo experience, but in the wake of faster Core i3 and i5 processors, it's a little less impressive. Nvidia hybrid graphics switch easily between integrated graphics and a powerful Nvidia GeForce GT 335M graphics card with 1GB of memory, allowing the M11x to either be battery-conservative or a gaming workhorse. This system lacks the on-the-fly Optimus graphics switching technology recently announced by Nvidia, which would have been perfect on the M11x. Still, even without it, graphics switching is pretty painless. … Read more

Syracuse Orange sophomore center Baye Moussa Keita looks like he is going to give it a try Saturday afternoon, as the No. 1-ranked Orange (16-0, 3-0 Big East) host No. 20 Marquette Golden Eagles in a Big East Conference game. Keita was listed as a game-time decision by SU head coach Jim Boeheim Thursday after the second-string center suffered a freak injury to his hip in practice before Wednesday's victory at the Providence Friars. Keita had trouble jumping and did not play against the Friars, but he did practice fully Friday.
So far, Keita is jogging around and taking part in pregame warm ups, but he is lacking a bit of a hop in his step. He is however doing pre-game drills with ease and throwing down dunks. Look for Keita to play sparingly and for freshman forward Rakeem Christmas to play a bunch of minutes.
Another key for Syracuse Saturday, will be sophomore center Fab Melo staying out of foul trouble. If Melo can do that and play up to his steady clip (7.4 points per game, 5.3 rebounds per game and 3.1 blocker per game) the Orange should be just fine.
On Saturday, SB Nation New York will be blogging live from press row at the Carrier Dome for the Syracuse vs. Marquette Big East showdown. Be sure to check back to this StoryStream for in-game and post-game updates.

Working with Images in Scribus
Apart from text, images are probably the most commonly used objects in Scribus or any other layout application. The basics of working with images in Scribus are mostly straightforward, but there are some methods and resources that you might miss, especially at first.
Like any other object, images in Scribus are placed in frames that are visible when you click an image, and that include six control points to help you move or manipulate the image. For images, the frame is color-coded red, but otherwise image frames work much like any other frame, being movable either by dragging with the mouse -- preferably with the grid turned on -- or by adjusting its properties by entering exact figures. Just like any frame, image frames can also be locked to prevent editing, moved to another layer, altered in shape, exported to PDF, or copied to the Scrapbook for use with other pages or project.
Most of the unique options for an image are available in the context menu that pops up when you right-click anywhere within the frame. They include options for both adding a new image and for editing an existing one.
Adding an image
Scribus gives you several options for adding an image and its attendant frame. You can, of course, copy and paste from within Scribus, or select Windows -> Scrapbook and drag an image from the Scrapbook into a document.
However, the most common method is to select Insert -> Image Frame or press I, and then draw the frame by dragging with the mouse. You are left with the visible frame with an X through it.
From there, right-click in the frame to display the context menu, and select Get Image to select an image in a file-manager. Scribus supports all common image formats, so you are unlikely to have trouble using the image of your choice.
However, at this point, a problem arises: Unless you have the foresight to open the image in another application first, the frame is unlikely to fit the image it now holds.
If it doesn't, all you need to do is select Adjust Frame to Image from the context menu to adjust the frame automatically. For some unknown reason, the opposite function is not in the context menu, but you can access it from the context menu by selecting Properties -> Image -> Scale to Frame Size, after which you may need to select Adjust Frame. Often, changing the image size rather than the frame size will be the easiest option, especially if the image is larger than the frame but you need to fit the frame into a precisely-defined space.
Once the image is inserted, you may want to change its dpi (resolution) by selecting Properties->Image. A resolution of 72 or 96 dpi is fine for online display, but for printing -- which is what Scribus is designed for, you want a minimum of 300 dpi. For higher quality work 600 or 1200 dpi might be preferable.
Depending on your computer's RAM, adding images in a higher resolution may slow down the screen rendering of your document. For this reason, after you have added an image, you might consider unselecting Image Visible from the context menu. Alternatively, you can set Preview Settings to Low Resolution or Normal Resolution. With either item, you can always change the setting if you need to see how the image actually looks.
Editing Images
Scribus is a layout application, not an image editor. For this reason, you can only edit in limited ways in Scribus. Almost always, the best way to adjust an image in Scribus is to select Edit Image from the context menu and open an external editor. This editor is set in File -> Preferences -> External Tools -> Image Processing Tool, and is usually The GIMP. Whatever your external image editor, it will work with the original file, so you might want to make a backup copy before making changes.
After editing in an external editor, your changes generally do not show in Scribus. If it doesn't, you need to select Update Image from the context menu.
Update Image is also a useful way of altering an image without deleting the original. Since Scribus links to images, instead of embedding them in documents as OpenOffice.org can do, changing the original image -- or replacing it altogether -- then selecting Update Image can be an efficient way of working, so long as the new image has the same dimensions as the original.
Within Scribus, you can also apply a limited number of filters by selecting Image Effects on the context menu. You can apply multiple filters, including ones like Sharp more than once, viewing each change in a preview pane before selecting the OK button to apply your chosen settings. Filters are applied to the presentation of the image in Scribus -- and not to the original document.
Beyond the Obvious
As you can see, the finer points of adding images in Scribus are not always as obvious as they could be. Depending on how you are accustomed to working, you may also find some features lacking; personally, I would appreciate a way to change the file path without editing the saved file.
However, once you are aware of a few peculiarities, adding images in Scribus presents only mild problems. After you add or modify the first half dozen images, you will probably find working with images in Scribus presents few if any difficulties.

The manual is a bit daunting, but your articles make it easy and a joy to get started with Scribus.
Thanks again.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

dispersionGreek: diaspora; Meaning: "scattered" (James 1:1; 1 Pet. 1:1) of the Jews. At various times, and for various reasons, the Jews were separated and scattered into foreign countries "to the outmost parts of heaven" (Deut. 30:4).
From the time of Pompey the Great (B.C. 63) numbers of Jews from Israel and Greece went to Rome, where they had a separate quarter of the city assigned to them. Here they enjoyed considerable freedom. Thus were the Jews everywhere scattered abroad. This, in the overruling providence of God, ultimately contributed in a great degree toward opening the way for the spread of the gospel into all lands. Dispersion, from the plain of Shinar. This was occasioned by the confusion of tongues at Babel (Gen. 11:9). They were scattered abroad "every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations" (Gen. 10:5, 20, 31). The tenth chapter of Genesis gives us an account of the principal nations of the Earth in their migrations from the plain of Shinar, which was their common residence after the Flood. In general, it may be said that the descendants of Japheth were scattered over the north, those of Shem over the central regions, and those of Ham over the extreme south. The following table shows how the different families were dispersed: JAPHETH —Gomer Cimmerians, Armenians —Magog Caucasians, Scythians —Madal Medes and Persian tribes —Javan ~ Elishah Greeks ~ Tarshish Etruscans, Romans ~ Chittim Cyprians, Macedonians ~ Dodanim Rhodians —Tubal Tibareni, Tartars —Mechech Moschi, Muscovites —Tiras Thracians SHEM —Elam Persian tribes —Asshur Assyrian —Arphaxad ~ Abraham Isaac —Jacob Hebrews —Esau Edomites Ishmael Mingled with Arab tribes —Lud Lydians —Aram Syrians HAM —Cush Ethiopans —Mizrain Egyptians —Phut Lybians, Mauritanians —Canaan Canaanites, Phoenicians ALSO SEE:

of Europe Anti-Corruption Group (GRECO) publishes its compliance report on Ukraine Group of States against Corruption publishes summary of its confidential report on Belarus [Strasbourg, 03/2/2014] – The Council of Europe's Group of States against Corruption (GRECO) today published a summary of its Joint First and Second Round Evaluation Report on Belarus adopted in June 2012. It assesses compliance by Belarus with the Council of Europe's anti-corruption standards and, more specifically, it examines the independence, powers and means available to national bodies responsible for the prevention and fight against corruption, the extent and scope of immunities from investigation and prosecution for corruption offences, possibilities for seizure and confiscation of proceeds of corruption, corruption within the public administration, and the use of legal persons to shield corruption offences.GRECO decided in December 2013, to make this summary public if the authorities of Belarus did not follow the positive transparency policy applied and accepted within GRECO by authorising the publication of the entire report by 3 February 2014. It is the first time in GRECO's fifteen years of existence that such a measure has had to be taken.

Resignation of the Slovenian anti-corruption Commissioners [Strasbourg, 10/12/2013] – During its latest plenary meeting (Strasbourg, 2-6 December 2013), GRECO noted with concern the recent resignation of the Chief Commissioner for the Prevention of Corruption of Slovenia and of his two deputies. In a press release, the Commissioners explained that their initiative was meant to sound alarm bells regarding the lack of political will that surrounds certain necessary reforms of the institutional and legal framework for the prevention of and fight against corruption in Slovenia.GRECO hopes that the selection process of the future commissioners will ensure that they fulfil the highest guarantees of integrity and independence.

Link to Concept paper Link to Draft Programme Sweden encouraged to further sharpen its tools for preventing corruption [Strasbourg, 12/11/2013] – Swedish measures to prevent corruption among members of parliament, judges and prosecutors appear to be quite effective in practice. However, there is still room for improvement – particularly with regard to conflicts of interest among parliamentarians. These are the main findings of an evaluation report published today by the Council of Europe's Group of States against Corruption (GRECO).
The report notes that Sweden has traditionally been considered one of the
least corrupt countries in Europe, and that perceptions of corruption among
parliamentarians, judges and prosecutors are relatively low. Awareness of
the risks of corruption and conflicts of interest seems to have risen over
the years but could benefit from being further stimulated. (more...) Council of Europe anti-corruption body praises the integrity policy implemented by judges and prosecutors in the Netherlands

Witness in Bergrin racketeering, murder trial tells of acting as drug courier
On a jailhouse recording, defense lawyer Paul W. Bergrin affectionately ended his phone conversation with the imprisoned Abdul Williams by declaring, "All right buddy take care. I love you."
For his part, Williams in one call gushed, "Paul, you're one of the best in the world."
Any trace of that affection was noticeably absent Thursday as the lawyer and the cooperating witness clashed and sparred at Bergrin's murder and racketeering trial, nearing the end of its fourth week in federal court in Newark.
"You smiled. This is all a big joke for you," Bergrin protested at one point.
"You were shysty, greedy and sloppy," Williams countered at another point.
The repeated barbs between interrogator and witness drew cautions from U.S. District Judge Dennis M. Cavanaugh that weren't able to quell the simmering animosity.
Bergrin, 57, of Nutley is charged with multiple counts of racketeering for crimes that include drug trafficking, promoting prostitution, witness tampering, attempted murder and the murder of an FBI informant.
Williams, 35, a heroin and cocaine dealer with a long rap sheet, testified that Bergrin arranged for his early release from a halfway-house program by providing a no-show job as a paralegal at his law firm. Williams said he reimbursed Bergrin in cash for the checks he received.
Instead of legal work, Williams said, Bergrin paid him $3,000 to $4,000 per trip as a delivery man, shuttling multi-kilogram quantities of cocaine from Bergrin's drug partners to buyers in diner and department store parking lots and returning with the cash.
Williams told the jury he delivered several hundred kilos of cocaine while serving as a courier for Bergrin, his girlfriend, Yolanda Jauregui, and their associate, Alejandro Castro. Jauregui and Castro have pleaded guilty in the case.

Reserves remain perfect
Posted by: Matt Gaschk
Goals by Nate Jaqua and a PK conversion by Lamar Neagle prove the difference in a 2-1 MLS Reserve League victory over the LA Galaxy in Carson, Calif. Sounders FC reserves remain a perfect 7-0-0 on the season. (photos courtesy Lisa Bregman, LA Galaxy)
CARSON, Calif. - The Sounders FC reserves improved to 7-0-0 on Tuesday morning with a 2-1 win over the LA Galaxy reserves at Cal-State Dominguez Hills.Nate Jaqua scored and Lamar Neagle added a penalty kick in the first half and Terry Boss and the Seattle defense held off a late Galaxy surge to preserve the victory.
Seattle got out to a quick start in the 15th minute, but Neagle's apparent goal was called back when the linesman raised his flag to signal offside.
Jaqua made up for it soon after, though, knocking in a ball from Neagle to put Seattle up 1-0.
Mike Fucito nearly doubled the lead two minutes later, but his shot was saved at the post by suspended Galaxy goalkeeper Josh Saunders.
LA got their first attempt on goal in the 26th minute when Hector Jimenez got past the Seattle defense, but Boss made a great stop and Adam Cristman missed high on the rebound and Seattle held on to the 1-0 lead.
In the 30th minute, Fucito got into the box on a run and was taken down for a penalty. Neagle hammered the shot low and to the left to beat Saunders for the 2-0 lead and Seattle held that lead to halftime.
To start the second half, Seattle earned a free kick just outside the box and Servando Carrasco blasted a shot that was stopped by the LA defense. David Estrada got his head to the rebound, but his putback attempt missed just over the bar and the lead held at 2-0.
The Galaxy pulled one back in the 73rd minute when Cristman got to a ball in a scramble in the box and knocked it to the net to make it 2-1 in favor of the Sounders.
In the 88th minute, Sounders FC Academy midfielder Aaron Kovar got a strong shot from the top of the box, but pushed it just wide. In the final moments of the match, Cristman got away on a break, but Boss slid in to slow him down and the ball rolled away for a goal kick and the match ended on the restart with the Sounders remaining unbeaten and untied to remain atop the MLS Reserve League.
Sounders FC - Nate Jaqua (Lamar Neagle) 18; Lamar Neagle (PK) 30.
LA Galaxy - Adam Cristman 73.
Sounders FC - Lamar Neagle (caution) 48; Mike Fucito (caution) 64; Miguel Montano (caution) 89.
LA Galaxy - None.
Sounders FC - Terry Boss, Zach Scott, Patrick Ianni, Taylor Graham, Leo Gonzalez, Pat Noonan (David Estrada 46), Servando Carrasco, Michael Seamon, Lamar Neagle (Miguel Montano 60), Nate Jaqua (Aaron Kovar 70), Mike Fucito.

Windshield Visor
Has anyone put a windhield visor on their truck . What are your thoughts on this.

05-17-2009, 06:39 PM #2I have been looking into getting one, but I do not have one just of yet. The one's that LUND makes are the best brand, but you just have to make sure that you keep underneath of it clean and silicone it real good. I saw on another forum a guy that took one off his truck, and the whole roof had rotted through. Lund has a newer low-profile one out now that's called the LR2 series, instead of screwing into the top of the roof. You screw it into the inner door jambs, you pull back the weather stripping and the brackets go behind that. That's the one I was looking at and it does come lit and unlit, Summit Racing sells them for $229. Hope this helps a little, but I think the drilling keeps a lot of people away from them.

05-22-2009, 10:06 PM #4You might have trouble finding a visor.. Lund discontinued them at the end of last year.
05-23-2009, 09:39 PM #5I have a Lund on my '89. I love the look, but after all these years, it has cracked some around the bolt holes.
I noticed that your truck has a hood deflector - I had one on mine, as well.
I found that when traveling at highway speed, there was an updraft at the windshield wipers, causing them to lift. I figure that's where the air met coming up from hood deflector and down from the visor. When I finally took the deflector off, the wipers worked again.
There's a big differnce in the aero of the hood between our years, but just that your aware.
Good luck,

NEW YORK NURSE: March 2009
Do you want to maintain cutting-edge nursing skills, develop a new area of expertise, or just show your employer that you take your practice seriously?
Earning continuing education (CE) credits does all of that and more. "For patient safety, we are obligated to keep current by continuing our education once we've received licensure," says Roni Cummings, associate director of NYSNA's Education, Practice & Research Program. "But there are many professional benefits as well."
Some states make continuing education mandatory for nurses, usually between 24 and 30 contact hours every two years. In New York State, RNs are required only to complete three contact hours in infection control every four years and two contact hours in child abuse identification at the time of initial licensure.
Even though additional hours aren't necessary to maintain licensure in New York, CE is still a smart idea. "RNs who don't want to be left behind know the value of earning contact hours," said Roni Cummings. "For example, if you are interested in shifting your practice to a new field, getting plenty of CE on the subject can help you get the position you want."
Continuing education can be important to nurses who are returning to the field after many years. "Techniques that impact patient safety can change quite a bit over time," says Cummings. "CE can help nurses stay up to date in best practices and can boost their confidence about coming back to nursing."
When choosing a course, pay attention to the source. Just as hospitals are accredited to provide care, providers of nursing continuing education should be accredited by a reputable organization such as the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). RNs can be assured that the information being taught is current, reliable, and accurate.
NYSNA is accredited as a CE provider by the ANCC, the largest and most prestigious nurse credentialing organization in the world. A subsidiary of the American Nurses Association, the ANCC also sponsors the Magnet Recognition Program, which recognizes hospitals for quality nursing care.
As an ANCC-accredited provider, NYSNA is audited periodically for adherence to national standards. NYSNA also is certified by the ANCC to approve CE offerings by other organizations – a list of approved courses appears in every issue of New York Nurse.
Just a few years ago, nurses earned most of their contact hours in classroom settings. With nearly 75% of U.S. households now having access to the Internet, distance learning has come into its own. Many websites offer CE for nurses – but accreditation is still a key factor.
The only site where courses have been approved by the New York State Nurses Association is eLeaRN™, (www.elearnonline.net), which currently offers dozens courses at reasonable rates. And you get a 15% discount if you're a NYSNA member! And there continue to be opportunities to earn contact hours in a more traditional way. It's possible to take in multiple education offerings during the NYSNA Annual Convention, which will be held this year on Oct. 8-11 in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.
NYSNA's Economic & General Welfare (EGW) Program offers a wide range of courses for bargaining unit members, many of them right where members work. See the list of upcoming workshops on page 17.

INDIANAPOLIS — Make it three for three when it comes to the Indianapolis Colts' most coveted unrestricted free agents.
Just a week after running back Dominic Rhodes signed with the Oakland Raiders and four days after cornerback Nick Harper inked a contract with the Tennessee Titans, outside linebacker Cato June completed the trifecta Saturday when he agreed to a three-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Other terms of the contract were not immediately available. The signing was initially announced on the Buccaneers' website Saturday afternoon.
June had started at weak side linebacker for the Colts for the past three years and was selected to the Pro Bowl after the 2005 season. He led Indianapolis in tackles two of the last three seasons, including totaling 162 stops along with one sack and three interceptions.
The former University of Michigan standout will now join a crowded and talented group of linebackers in Tampa, where he could end up lining up alongside Derrick Brooks and Sheldon Quarles. Both June and Brooks played weakside linebacker for their respective teams in the Cover 2 defensive system in 2006.
More information on this story will be available in Sunday's Tribune-Star

[JURIST] The Israeli cabinet Sunday approved the release of 250 Palestinian prisoners. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert [official profile] agreed to the release [BBC report] at a June 25 summit with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas [BBC profile] in an effort to show Israel's support for Abbas, a moderate. It is not clear which prisoners will be released or when. Israel is holding about 10,000 Palestinian prisoners. The country released [JURIST report] about 500 in February 2005 to bolster Abbas when he won the election.After Hamas [BBC backgrounder] violently took over the Gaza Strip [BBC backgrounder] last month, Israel has made moves to strengthen Abbas, who favors peace talks.

[JURIST] New Jersey [JURIST news archive] Governor Jon Corzine signed legislation [press release] to cut emissions of greenhouse gases [JURIST news archive] Friday, making New Jersey the third state in the nation to pass such laws to prevent global warming. California [JURIST report] and Hawaii have passed similar laws. New Jersey's Global Warming Response Act [A3301 text] requires the state to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and by 80 percent below 2006 levels by 2050. New Jersey is the first state to set targets so far into the future.When signing the legislation, Corzine criticized the Bush administration for not doing enough to solve global warming, saying "In the absence of leadership on the federal level, the burden of reducing greenhouse gases has now fallen upon the states." In April, President Bush urged [JURIST report] Congress to adopt his proposed targets for alternative fuel use [White House energy policy materials] as a way of combating greenhouse gas emissions. Earlier in the month, the US Supreme Court ruled in Massachusetts v. EPA [JURIST report] that the Environmental Protection Agency [official website] may regulate automobile emissions. AP has more.
