Well, it sure looks like this battle over hundreds of millions of dollars is turning ugly. Not sure if we could have seen that. But the City of San Jose, which wants the Oakland Athletics to move there as badly as the team's ownership wants to move, is getting involved. A group called Stand for San Jose filed suit against the proposed ballpark, ostensibly for reasons related to flawed environmental and traffic studies.
The city isn't so sure that a much larger corporation isn't behind the group, which is supposed to be something of a grassroots effort. A larger corporation such as the San Francisco Giants:
Last week the city filed for a court order allowing it to examine the organizational structure -- and any Giants ties -- of Stand For San Jose, a community group whose lawsuit over the proposed ballpark has raised questions about the San Jose plan's viability.
The city's latest motion asked the court to compel Stand for San Jose to demonstrate that it has legal "standing" to sue the city over the ballpark. The city argued the plaintiffs must be city taxpayers or to have objected to the ballpark proposal on environmental grounds.
The response from the Stand for San Jose group has been to argue for free-speech and privacy rights. Are the Giants behind it? We might never know, but if the City of San Jose gets its way, we'll have a pretty good idea.

Brunswick announced this morning that Peter B. Hamilton is the new president of the Brunswick Boat Group. He is replacing Dustan E. McCoy, who moved to the top CEO slot at Brunswick in December. In other news, Cynthia Trudell has resigned from Sea Ray. Richard C. Stone was named president of Sea Ray.
Hamilton, currently Brunswick vice chairman, has been with the corporation since 1995. Most recently, he was president of Brunswick's Life Fitness division. Previously, he was president of Brunswick Bowling & Billiards as well as Brunswick's chief financial officer from 1995 to 2000.
"Peter has a broad range of operating management and corporate experience, which will serve him well as he takes over the Brunswick Boat Group, the company's largest division," said McCoy in a statement. "Under his leadership, both our Life Fitness Division and Brunswick Bowling and Billiards Division have improved their financial performance and operating margins."
Brunswick also announced that Richard C. Stone has been named president of its Sea Ray Division, reporting to Hamilton. He succeeds Cynthia M. Trudell who, according to the statement, has resigned. No reason was given for her departure.
Stone served as chief financial officer of the Brunswick Boat Group, as well as managing director of the company's Sealine International business unit, based in Kidderminster, United Kingdom. Stone joined Sea Ray in 1985, as vice president and controller. He was also senior vice president and chief financial officer before being named CFO of the Brunswick Boat Group in 2001.

Our First Record Setting Hybrid
What is a "Hybrid" wood stove, and why is it so efficient? Click here to find out!

EACH PROGRESS HYBRID IS AWhen you order a Progress Hybrid, you choose:
(1) whether the door is on the left or right,
(2) the color of the iron castings, and
(3) whether you want long or short legs.
If you visit the factory, you can pick out the stone you like best.
When you buy a stove from us, you get factory
direct prices, and a six month risk free return privilege. If you don't like your new stove, we'll buy it back and pay for the return freight! Woodstock Soapstone Stoves are only available direct from the factory.
|What do we mean by Hybrid?
Hy-brid (noun): A thing made by combining two different elements; a mixture. Hybrid is a word that is being used more frequently these days. Auto makers are building hybrid gas and electric cars that increase fuel economy. Biologists have created hybrid crops that are more resilient and grow quicker. The marriage of two different technologies or ideas can lead to a product that captures the best parts of its different components. So what exactly is the Woodstock Soapstone Progress Hybrid? What elements have been combined that make this a superior wood stove? These are questions we are asked every day.
The Progress is a true hybrid because it combines a catalytic combustor with a secondary combustion system. Each of these elements is used to reduce wood stove emissions and increase efficiency. Until now, wood stoves have been using either a catalytic combustor or a secondary combustion system to meet EPA emissions standards. Each design is capable of meeting the standards by itself, so why go to the trouble and expense of developing a wood stove that combines these two separate systems? The answer lies in the way each system performs best. A catalytic combustor has the ability to break down the compounds in wood smoke at temperatures as low as 500 degrees F. This allows for more complete combustion (less pollution) at a low to moderate burn rate. The catalytic reaction produces a considerable amount of heat from the wood smoke as well producing a long, clean, and efficient burn. A secondary combustion system requires much higher temperatures ( over1000 degrees F) to break down the same compounds in the wood smoke. These systems work most effectively at higher burn rates. The idea behind combining these two different systems in one wood stove is to capture a clean and efficient burn throughout the entire burn range.
Seems simple, right? The real trick is getting the two different systems to work effectively together and make the stove as simple to operate as possible. Through the long and winding path of R&D we have designed an air damper system that controls both primary and secondary air to the firebox using a single, simple lever. The ratio of primary to secondary air is pre-set so the user does not have to fiddle with separate knobs or levers to fine tune the burn. The Progress will automatically deliver unused secondary air to the combustor at lower burn rates, or allow the air to combine with gases in the firebox at higher burn rates for a spectacular secondary burn. At a medium burn rate, the secondary flames and catalytic combustor alternate depending on the conditions in the firebox. Two different systems, working in harmony, make the Progress Hybrid.
The Progress Hybrid comes with an easily reversible top or back flue collar, simply choose which works best for your installation!

4.63/5 rDev +12.9%
37,5 cl corked & caged. Pours an orange-tinted ruby red with a thin head that leaves a hint of lacing. Just looks like a kriek should. Smells musty and fruity, like a basket of cherries sitting on a pile of straw. Has an earthiness to it as well. Wow. That's sour. The cherries start the party off, promising a sweetness that dives down underneath the sharp, apple-like sour note that comes on. Oddly enough, subsequent sips find the sourness disappearing rapidly & just leaving the crispness. I feel like I've got a sourness hangover, somehow. The aftertaste is malty and pleasant, really taking the edge off the finish. Really, really remarkable. The mouthfeel is slippery and light but not watery. Nice carbonation. The drinkability is really great, particularly for such a sour beer. A very, very nice sour lambic.

750 ml bottle. Unknown vintage. Tan label with pinkish red lettering. Bright pink body leaning toward the red end of the pink spectrum. Fluffy white head. Average carbonation streams. Aroma is a wallop of funky vinegar with a very subtle hint of tart cherries and rank cheese. Not as outrageous as most geuze. There isnt any battery acid or anything like that. Mouthfeel is more subdued too. Im not feeling any extreme tartness or sourness. After a few glasses this one is downright mellow and very champagne like. Flavors are quite mild. Cherry is barely present. Most flavors are vinous, bordering on mild vinegar. Very approachable for this style. A good place to start for people trying to get into geuze/lambics.

4.22/5 rDev +2.9%
A: Hazy pink with a small white head.
S: Very acidic and puckering - it really stings the nose. Clean cherry aromas, earth and grass. Lots of funk - barnyard and mud.
T: The taste is very sour, but still manageable. In fact, I really like the stuff. There is also a surprisingly noticeable sweetness. Lots of clean cherry flavors and notes of grass, earth and cherry pits. The finish is tart and dry with residual notes of cherries and cherry pits.
M: Medium body, refreshing carbonation.
D: A good one. Lots of acidity, so it's not for the faint of heart.
NOTE: A quick note about a bottle that had been cellared only for about 6 months (usually they are cellared at least 12 months at the brewery before being released):
Both aromas and flavors are more gentle and slightly edgier than older bottles. The cherries are more pronounced and almost have a candy-like character. It's less acidic and less funky. It has more sweetness to it, due to the bigger cherry flavors. I preferred the older bottle since it was more complex, more sour and all in all more interesting.

4.13/5 rDev +0.7%
A - Pours beautiful clear deep red with barely a collar of light pink foam. No noticeable carbonation rising.
S - Very acidic cherry aroma, with a pretty good funk presence. The funk elements are definitely reminiscent of the Hanssens Oude Geuze.
T - Initial taste is one of the most sour beers I've ever had. Very acidic, though there is a strong cherry presence as well. Funk presence increases midway through and continues through the finish. Also a faint cherry sweetness on the finish to go with the intense sourness.
M - Body is flat and slick. Not the best, but okay.
O - A good kriek, but well below de Cam and Cantillon for me.

Pours a clear, pinkish orange body with a persistent, and delicate collar of creamy, pink hued lace.
Complex aroma nails the style perfectly, with oak, woodsy and musty yeast, fruity tartness, and tannic acidity.
Mouthfeel begins sour and acidic, but evolves into a smooth and satiny, dry sherry character as it warms.
Taste is dry and tart, with an earthy, barnyard yeastiness. Very tangy and sherry like. Fruity character is dry, without noticeable sweetness, and I could detect no cherry flavors.
Very nice for style, and pleasantly drinkable. I would have given this Lambic much higher scores if some cherry aroma and flavor were present.

Smaller bottle, cage and corked, opens with a moderate "pop", pours murky, low carbonation, dark apricot in color. Nose here is the always appreciated funky, sour, woodsy thing. This is a crisply sour brew, surely not for everybody, but lambic lovers will get into this one, plenty sharp, nasty sour notes that get lambic enjoyers (and I'm one of them!) excited. Some mild fruit in the background, cherry, strawbery, but this is about enjoying the sour goodness that this one delivers. Belgian lovers rejoice and go get some of this stuff...

The beer pours an orange-brown color with a tiny white head. The aroma is tart with some cherry and vanilla. The flavor is heavy on the tart cherries along with some nice character from the oak aging. Not extremely sour, but a great mix between cherry flavor and tartness. The beer is extremely dry. Medium mouthfeel and low carbonation.

A fresh bottle. Pours a very dark red with a non-existant head. This beer is very acidic. Acid is predominantly acetic. This dominates but of course there is plently of funk but also notes of smoky oak and even some raw meat. Overall, a decent kriek but a little over the top with too much vinegar taste.

Best Damn Sour Fest
San Diego, CA
Dark ruby and red with pink edges and a thin pink head. Leaves small spots and thin webs of lacing down the glass.
Wonderful aroma consisting of bright cherries and lots of stinging sourness. This doesn't have quite as complex aroma as the best in class.
The flavor is very similar to the aroma, with the vibrant, tart cherry and sourness dominating the palette. Juicy and sweet yet dry.
Medium mouthful with high carbonation.

Not much pop to the cork on this bottle. Reddish brown translucent appearance, no real head on the pour. Slipping dots for lace. Tart aroma, somwhat jam-like with light shoe polish tone. Carbonation is largely spent, but the body is pretty close to medium. Sharp astringency as appropriate, but not over-the-top and with an interesting sweet leathery lingering quality. Leafy with some alkaloids, and for me, not a lot of particularly distinctive cherry qualities. Finishes dry but full and not extremely puckering. I liked this one in drinkability while still retaining authentic qualities.

Cask version from the Brick Store during the 12th anniversary party.
Pours a deep ruby red with a thin off-white head. The head recedes into a thin ring around the glass leaving almost no lacing. The color is very nice.
Smells sour cherries with nice hints of vinegar and light hints of funk.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Sour cherry and funky flavors up front are joined by vinegar-like flavors midway through the sip. As the beer warms it becomes more tart.
Mouthfeel is good. It has a decent thickness with very light carbonation.
Drinkability is alright. It's tasty but it's a bit too tart to have more than one of these.
Overall I enjoyed this beer a lot, and was happy to have the opportunity to try one of this style on cask. I don't necessarily think the cask makes the beer taste any better, but it's also certainly not any worse. It's just different, and worth a shot.

Very interesting stuff, really smelly barnyard/dirty nappy nose, quite balsamic acidity, with a soft cherry aroma noticed. Sour, of course, the way it should be, dry. Nice balance of kriek flavour in their, just the right amount, a very nice kriek lambic, if only i could get it down under, i miss Belgium.

(Served in a teku)
A- This beer has a very soft pop to the cork, then pours a deep red wine hue with a thick ring of white foam that is stained a purple hue. There are a few microbubbles gliding to the surface but otherwise the body is to dense to see any carbonation.
S- The soft tartness takes on a dark grape note and a dry cherry jam quality to follow. The finish has a bit of wet old wood that holds its ground.
T- The soft tartness of dark fruit has a faint earthy note to it with a soft dark cherry flavor to follow. There is a brett hint in the finish with a soft jam note that is soon overtaken by a tart acidic bite that lingers in the aftertaste.
M- The medium mouthfeel has a soft tartness that grows to more of an astringency in the finish and no alcohol heat noticed.
O- This beer is simple with an acidic bite to the finish with hints of cherries and wild critters and wood. They are all overpowered by the acid.

Bottle date G, whatever that means.
A: Pours a very deep ruby color with a large, pink head on top, very foamy. Nice head retention, leaving a nice cap on top. Thick foamy lacing clings to the glass.
S: Light funk and barnyard mixed with some cherries and a little bit of wood. A little bit of tartness/vinegar.
T: Cherry mixed with a good bit of woody/oak. Not quite as musty as the aroma, but very earthy. The barrel really shines through as the oak intensifies.
M: Medium bodied with a nice level of tartness, was expecting it to be a bit over the top, but very approachable.
O: A pretty nice Kriek, not in your face cherry, but good nonetheless.

Another first for me. Picked up at Kahn's in Indy along some old favorites.
Upon finishing my exit interview at college i returned to my now empty apartment and popped open this brew to celebrate. It pours very dead. A flat darkish red copper with absolutely no head at all but aroma seemed right on. A lot of tart and funk are easily detectable in the nose the dark cherries take a little while to sneak up. Taste matches the nose but a little hint of vinegar was present that left me perplexed. Mouthfeel was a little sticky as well. Not a bad beer but as long as its priced the same as my oude beersell krieks, I doubt I will be revisiting this one much.

Pours a beautiful bright and slightly hazy ruby red color that glows when held to the light. A fairly fizzy head reduces to a small white ring around the glass.
Nose is full of wild yeast funk, and slight cherry. some nice horseblankety action.
Taste is very much traditional belgian max sourness. Alot of wild sour flavor, some nice dry cherry notes with a tiny touch of very mild sweetness through the middle, but nothing that takes away from the savagely dry finish.
Mouthfeel is right where it should be. Great sourness, ample carbonation, good.
Overall a very nice sour. If your looking for a traditional belgian kriek, this one will most certainly not dissapoint. A fine lambic, and one i am glad to be putting some age on. Good stuff

Amber hued, kissed by auburn, then muddied brown. The head is fairly sparce and fizzy and white.
Dirt-covered tart cherry nose. Intermittent rancid buttermilk. Pig shit. And some light vinous wafts.
Begins with a burst of cherry. Lightly sweet, but tenfold more tart. Then it turns dominantly pinot-like. But only for a few seconds, and especially while cooler. Afterwards, it's all Lambic. Funkiness is varied and wide-ranging. Rusted tin is perhaps the most prominant. Pastures full of manure and mud. Budding leafy vegetables. General dankness, mildew and ground. Minor cherry reprise near the swallow with an increase in sourness.
Lightish bodied, though a bit grabby around the sides of the mouth.
Plenty drainable. Nice enough (and foul enough) Kreik.

spectacular, tropical environments.
In addition, this townhome comes fully furnished with a gourmet
kitchen, a very comfortable Pottery Barn living room sofa, one guest
bedroom with a day bed and an armoire that opens into an office
desk -- complete with filing drawers, shelves, side table, etc., and a
second guest bedroom with a fabulous futon and relaxing decor for reading,
or simply unwinding from the day. It's an ideal retreat for a single
person or a couple who wish to stay connected and accommodate
occasional visitors, while escaping to a relaxing, tropical setting
for an extended period of time.
This property may not be suitable for children under 12 because of

text: A high-cholesterol diet contributes to high blood cholesterol levels. And eggs are on the high side. The yolk of one large egg has about 213 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol, more than half the recommended total daily allowance of 300 mg. If you like eggs but don't want the extra cholesterol, use egg whites, which don't have cholesterol. Or use cholesterol-free egg substitutes, which are made with egg whites. If you want to reduce cholesterol in a recipe that calls for eggs, use two egg whites or 1/4 cup (59 milliliters) cholesterol-free egg substitute instead of one whole egg.

Train Station Treasure
The World > Europe > Czech Republic > Prague
Ah, our poor main train station. Hlavni Nadrazi. Hlavak, for short. Poor Hlavak is a metaphor for this country, if you are a pessimist. This grand hall, the former international terminal. Built with love and riches. Now you come only if you want to buy old clothes by the kilogram. How could this happen? Is there not a better way to use this magnificent place? No, there's not. This is a train station, where the questionable elements of humanity converge. That seems to be the case for nearly every main train station, anywhere in the world. Frescoes or not, art nouveau or modernist boxy, train stations put our collective shabby face forward.
If you are coming to Prague for the first time, don't hurry out of the train station. Take a careful look at the broken lightbulbs, the one-time magnificence, the ill-conceived plastic deathstar departtures hall, the strange casinos. Stop by this second hand and browse for that moth-eaten sweater you always wanted. Or simply admire the room and keep your ears open for all the stories and dramas that bustled through these doors over the last century.
Ah, our poor main train station. Hlavni Nadrazi. Hlavak, for short. Poor Hlavak is a metaphor for thi...

Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, has long attracted artists and wandering spirits, although it was originally inhabited by prehistoric fish. Their inland sea filled the basin contained by the Tatras and Carpathian mountains, but when it eventually dried up they were forced to yield the terrain to dinosaurs, wooly mammoths and Neanderthals.
In human times the Celtic tribes came to reside here, leaving remains dating back to the 4th Century B.C. Their tribal name, Boii, gives the root of the word "Bohemia". The three separate territories of Bohemia, Silesia and Moravia now make up the modern Czech Republic, which split from Slovakia in the 1993 "Velvet Divorce."
Thanks to its enigmatic founder, the city of Prague derives a magnetic appeal for visionaries, scientists and astronomers. The historical figure credited with the launch of Prague is Princess Libuse, a visionary prophet and warrior who once stood atop the hill at Vysehrad and made the prophecy as follows,
"I see a vast city, whose glory will touch the stars!"
This indeed came to pass after she took Otokar Premysl to be her husband and King, launching the Premyslid dynasty, and leaving it to rule for the first four hundred years of Czech history. When the last Premyslid king, Wenceslas III, died without producing a male heir, the fourteen year-old John of Luxembourg came to take the throne of the Czech lands.
Hot-headed John died in battle, but his diplomatic son Charles IV inherited the throne and, through keen multi-lingual savvy, managed to both keep it and earn the title "Father of the Czech Nation."
Charles IV was the first of the Holy Roman Emperors here; he ruled during the height of Prague's elegance and splendour. This is the man to know if you want to understand Prague's layout. He sponsored the construction of such landmarks as the Charles Bridge, the Hunger Wall and St. Vitus' Cathedral, as well as personally designing the neighborhood called New Town (Nove Mesto) which has for its center Karlovo Namesti or Charles Square.
The city displays every branch of architecture across the last thousand years, including Cubism, a style which you will be hard-pressed to find applied to buildings anywhere else in the world. Beyond the stunning visual makeup of the city, there is a wealth of nightlife and entertainment, beginning with the legendary concert halls including the Rudolfinum, National Theater, Estates Theater and the Municipal House.
After investigating the Castle and Bridge, which are the most heavily-trafficked tourist areas, take a look around Zizkov and Letna, two of the cooler neighborhoods for bars and restaurants.
However quiet it may seem after ten PM, Prague is alive and throbbing in an endless array of basement bars, pubs, clubs, discos and pool halls waiting to be discovered by the intrepid subterranean adventurer. To get an idea of what lies in store, check out the panoramas for Chateau and Palac Akropolis and when you're out and about, make sure you look for the stairs down to the cellar.
Apart from shopping, eating, drinking and wearing out your digital camera, delve into the rich green carpet of Prague's parks, many of which lie only walking-minutes from the city center.

"It's bittersweet it's coming to an end, the franchise coming to the end tonight," said Evelyn Lim.
The line for the advanced screening at AMC in Altamonte went all the way outside the building as fans waited with bated breath to see Edward, Jacob, and of course Bella as a vampire with her daughter.

Horseshoe to host charity country concert to benefit Food Bank
* Horseshoe Casino, 2701 23rd Ave. in Council Bluffs, will host its 10th Annual Canfest: A Concert For Hunger Wednesday, Oct. 24th inside the Whiskey Roadhouse at the casino. The 8 p.m. concert will feature country acts Kix Brooks, Casey James and Craig Morgan and all ticket proceeds and food donations collected at the event will be sent to the Food Bank for the Heartland. Country radio station KXKT-FM The Kat 103.7 co-hosts the 21-and-up event.
* Silversun Pickups may have been the perfect band to introduce Papillion's gorgeous Sumtur Amphitheater, 11691 South 108th St., to Omaha's concert-going audience. The California alternative rock band delicately blends together dream-pop/shoegaze sounds with a post-Smashing Pumpkins guitar rock, led by Brian Aubert's beautifully-processed guitar tones and his whisper-to-a-rage vocal range. The band was set out in the open-air venue Monday, September 17th during one of the first crisp, cool nights of autumn, which lent itself wonderfully to the band's music. Concert promoter One Percent Productions has a gem of a space to explore next summer, as Sumtur's top-notch acoustics, its uniquely-designed stage and its selection of fixed seats position it to become Omaha's best outdoor venue.
* Swans are the loudest, most uncompromisingly punishing band my ears have ever experienced. The experimental New York post-punk band drowned the Bourbon Theatre, 1415 O St. in Lincoln, in repeating waves of crushing, chanting, tribal noise-rock at a volume that black metal bands nor Dinosaur Jr. would be able to achieve for the length of time that Swans unfolded their set. Inside that volume was polished, cohesive and highly-skilled band at work. Michael Gira directed the towering blasts, which at points breathed just a bit to let post-rock movements find beauty in the brutality. The end result was an experience that lasted days the band hammered down their final notes.
* All Young Girls Are Machine Guns are locked and loaded for their Friday, Sept. 28th CD release show at the Slowdown, 729 North 14th St. The band have printed 300 CD copies of the new album, Here's Hopin' Tomorrow Never Comes for the event, which also features sets by Field Club and Mynabirds' Laura Burhenn. Tickets for the show are $8. Check TheReader.com for an interview with All Young Girls Are Machine Guns' Rebecca Lowry and Travis Sing.
* The Hootenanny train keeps rolling down the tracks at the Waiting Room Lounge, 6212 Maple St. The next installment of the early evening collaborative music showcase, curated by Lori Tatreau, kicks off at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, October 2nd with performances by Faerie Tones, Sam Martin and 20,000 Strongmen. The $5 cover will benefit the Sunset Community Farm, a project of Community Crops in Lincoln. The Localmotive food truck will be on hand at the event, serving up dinner, as well.

Board Committees
If you're wondering what all of these committees really do on a regular basis, here is a bit more information about each working group:
Life Beyond Reed (LBR), chaired by Gloria Johnson '79, is an initiative for alumni to support the career development of current students, recent graduates, and mid-career graduates through mentoring and experiential-learning opportunities. The LBR committee helps orchestrate the college's Working Weekend that has been held in February for the past two years and is planned for February 2014.
The outreach committee, chaired by Beverly Lau '06, works closely with chapter leaders to increase alumni engagement by developing alumni events, creating opportunities to connect via social media, promoting IRIS participation for a stronger career network, and helping foster a broader relationship with the Portland community.
The Reunions/Reedfayre committee, chaired by Richard Roher '79, together with the office of alumni & parent relations, develops programming for Reunions. The committee also supports leaders from milestone years in increasing attendance and encouraging a gift from their class.
The nominating committee, chaired by Chantal Sudbrack '97, selects five new at-large members of the alumni board who will serve three-year terms. Committee members are the immediate past president of the alumni board (chair), the current president, and three non-members of the alumni board.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (BP) -- On Sept. 15, 1963, a bomb exploded at 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala., killing four girls ages 11 to 14 and injuring 22 at the African American congregation affiliated with National Baptists.
Fifty years later, Southern Baptist leaders who remember the bombing say God used it to help inspire racial reconciliation even though the attackers intended only harm.
David Dockery
David Dockery, president of Union University in Jackson, Tenn., was 10 years old at the time and remembers hearing about the bombing on the radio as his family drove home from their own Birmingham church. When he saw the charred church building, he "couldn't quite grasp that a sacred place like that would be the object of such hatred and devastation."
Yet the racially charged climate of Birmingham helped him "seek to become an agent of grace and reconciliation," he said.
In the early 1980s Dockery became pastor of a multiethnic congregation in Brooklyn, N.Y., a rarity in Southern Baptist life at the time. A decade later, as a dean at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, he helped the school of theology recruit its first two black faculty members.
When he became president of Union, Dockery established a center for racial reconciliation. Because of his work in race relations, the NAACP invited him in 2009 to deliver a plenary address at the annual meeting of its West Tennessee chapter, making him the first Caucasian to do so. This year he chaired an intercultural ministerial educational summit hosted by SBC Executive Committee President Frank S. Page to discuss how Southern Baptists can help prepare believers called to ministry from non-Anglo churches.
"My life at almost every chapter has played out attempts to be an agent of reconciliation to make sure that the hostilities so prevalent in September 1963 don't manifest themselves again," Dockery said.
James Dixon Jr.
As a young African American in Birmingham, James Dixon Jr.'s experience of the bombing was very different. But God also used it to make him an agent of reconciliation. He was only 12, he said it "stirred an uproar within my heart."
As a high school student he and several other students attended a civil rights demonstration downtown. When his mother learned what he had done, she deemed it too dangerous and put a stop to his participation in demonstrations, but the strong feelings within him did not abate.
Coming into a relationship with Christ helped him process the civil rights era, said Dixon, who was converted to faith in Jesus Christ at age 25.
"I really praise God that He has given me a heart for people," Dixon, now the longtime pastor of El-Bethel Baptist Church in Fort Washington, Md., said. "That whole era could have messed me up in terms of hatred.... It was Christ that really helped me process that."
In the early 1970s, Dixon became a race relations coordinator at Fort Benning, Ga., while serving in the Army. A few years later, as pastor of a black Baptist church in the late 1970s, he felt God calling him to cross racial lines and volunteer with Southern Baptists to promote positive relationships between black denominations and Southern Baptist churches.
He moved to Maryland in 1987 as a missionary to serve as the first African American staff member at Prince George's Baptist Association. He later became pastor of a Southern Baptist church and was elected as the first African American president of the Baptist Convention of Maryland-Delaware in 2010. Dixon also has served as president of the National African American Fellowship, a fellowship of more than 3,400 cooperating Southern Baptist churches, and serves on the SBC Executive Committee's African American Advisory Council.
As the advisory council has discussed ways to involve more ethnic churches and church leaders in convention leadership, Dixon said, "Looking at where we are and looking at where we've come from, my mind reflects back. We've made progress among Southern Baptists, but we still have a long way to go."
K. Marshall Williams
K. Marshall Williams, chair of the African American Advisory Council and pastor of Nazarene Baptist Church in Philadelphia, agrees. The 50th anniversary of the 16th Street bombing should make Southern Baptists reflect on the "appalling racism" of the 1960s and the victories of recent years, he said.
Williams, who served twice as president of the Baptist Convention of Pennsylvania-South Jersey, celebrates the increased number of minorities serving in Southern Baptist leadership, including SBC President Fred Luter.
Still, he said the same sinful attitudes that motivated the Birmingham bombing are alive today -- though tempered and manifested in different ways: Some people believe they are better than others because of their skin color; prisons are filled disproportionately with minorities; ethnic minorities don't have equal access to quality education; minorities face high unemployment. All of this is evidence of racial prejudice that Southern Baptists must help the nation address, Williams said.
"I think we've come a long way as Southern Baptists," he said. "I think we've come a long way as a society in terms of race relations. But I think we have a long way to go. We still have a systemic problem in our land that one piece of dust thinks it's better than another piece of dust. All of us come from dust."
Timothy George
Timothy George, founding dean of Samford University's Beeson Divinity School in Birmingham, said the 16th Street bombing has played a major role in his efforts to foster racial harmony in the city.
Carolyn McKinstry, a 2008 graduate of Beeson, was a 15-year-old member of 16th Street, who spoke with the four victims in the restroom and left only minutes before the bomb exploded that Sunday morning in 1963. The explosion left her traumatized.
McKinstry went through a phase of darkness and spiritual rebellion against God before experiencing personal revival and renewal of her faith in Christ. In 2011, she wrote about her experience in her memoir, "While the World Watched," written in collaboration with George's wife Denise. McKinstry has dedicated her life to the cause of forgiveness, love and racial reconciliation.
Thanks in part to McKinstry's influence, Beeson professors have a warm relationship with 16th Street Church. Last spring on the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter From A Birmingham Jail," Timothy George was the Southern Baptist representative at a commemorative conference hosted by the church.
"At Beeson the last 25 years we've had a passion for racial reconciliation as one of the strategic initiatives of our school," George said. "Because we are in Birmingham, Ala., Beeson has a stewardship of geography. Birmingham is a city with lots of scars and many memories that need to be healed. We believe God has placed us here to be a part of that healing."
Rick Lance
Racial healing is part of Rick Lance's mission as well. Now the executive director of the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions, Lance was 12 and living in Birmingham at the time of the bombing. He remembers being scared that four students about his age were murdered at church. He also remembers America's focus on the city.
As with other Southern Baptists, Lance said "what happened in 1963 made an indelible impression" on him.
"Early on in my ministry, I tried to lead my churches to open their doors to all people," he said. "Some resistance remained to such efforts, but in the main, my church families began to see people as individuals of worth created in the image of God. They became more receptive to people from all backgrounds and all walks of life. This was no small victory for Southern Baptist churches in the Deep South."
Lance hopes Southern Baptists of all races will "pause and remember what happened during that eventful year in the city of Birmingham" and "see the fruits of the sacrifices made by people 50 years ago."

As many people have been calling for in the last few years, head coach Leo Rautins will be stepping down as the lead man of the Senior Men's National Team. The announcement was made following the loss to Panama which had eliminated Canada from the fifth spot in the FIBA Americas Championship and eligibility for the Olympic qualifying tournament next summer. This should be no surprise to anyone who has followed the team over the last few years. The public had wanted him out for a little while after a poor showing at last summer's World Championships. Leo had done a remarkable job with the parts that he had. He was definitely not the most popular of the people but he was smart enough to surround himself with the parts to help him, and Canada, succeed. Of course there was the issue of lack of quality young players on the team and rumours of some of them not wanting to play for Leo. Whatever. Bottom line is that he did the best he could in the circumstances he was given and we can't fault him for that. Should we be in the Olympics, of course we should. Could we have placed better in international games and tournament, defnitely. In my opinion, anyone that looks to bash Leo now is totally missing what he was dealt with and what he had to work with. He was definitely not my first choice as head coach but I can't hate on a man who did remarkabley well with what little he had. Coach Leo, we salute you.

text: Gamers rage over Call of Duty elite plans Gaming 01 June 11 by Jason Schreier Tweet News of a premium service for Call of Duty has caused some fans of the game to fly into a rage, claiming gamemaker Activision should not charge monthly fees for online content.Call of Duty Elite, which publisher Activision announced on Tuesday, is a hybrid stat-tracker-social network for the online-shooter series that will become available this summer. The basic service will be free, but some features will require a premium subscription.While Activision has not laid out exactly what extras will come with a fee attached, some Call of Duty players have taken to the web to protest what they see as a cash grab by the makers of the best-selling videogame in the United States."Call of Duty Elite represents the next big step in finding a way to gouge more money out of gamers' wallets," Philip Hansen, who runs gaming website Evil Avatar, said in an e-mail to Wired.While massively multiplayer online games such as World of Warcraft often carry monthly fees, Elite is the first optional premium service for a standard retail game, and an innovative new attempt to milk more money out of the Call of Duty cash cow.Some gamers see it as an attempt to charge an additional fee for features that are often available in online multiplayer games for free, such as social networking groups and detailed tracking of in-game statistics."Instead of respecting their customers and rewarding loyal players, Activision has decided to walk a path toward microtransactions and premium multiplayer content," Hansen said.In a video launching a Call of Duty Elite protest, The Gunn Shop called the premium service a "douche move" on Activision's part (video above)."It is out of pure greed and lack of respect for their community that Activision has decided to charge a subscription fee for the content to be provided under Call of Duty Elite," The Gunn Shop wrote on its YouTube page. "Services that other developers offer for free. Make it free, or GTFO!"Jesse VanLuven, a 36-year-old gamer, called the upcoming service "insulting.""We put up with raised game prices, pay subscription fees on Xbox Live and have to pay more than we should for [downloadable content]," VanLuven said by email. "And yet here is Activision adding a new fee, just because they think they can get more money out of gamers, not to bring something new to us." Other gamers aren't as concerned. Some have praised Activision for creating an optional feature rather than charging a fee for standard online play.

scan register
<electronics, testing> A digital logic circuit which can act either as a flip-flop or as a serial shift register and which is used to form a scan path for testing.
The most common design is a multiplexed flip-flop:
_ __ normal in --| \ | | |mux |------|D Q|---- normal/scan scan in ----|___/ | | output | |flip| test mode ----+ |flop| | | clk --------------------|> | |____|The addition of a multiplexor (mux) to each flip-flop's input allows operation in either normal or test mode. The output of each flip-flop goes to the normal functional logic as well as to the scan input of the next multiplexor in the scan path.
The other common design is level-sensitive scan design (LSSD).

An attorney for the city of Cold Spring didn't say whether Officer Greg Reiter resigned or was terminated, only that there is no current complaint against him.
Reiter was criticized for his inaction the night Decker was killed. He stayed in his squad car and only offered a general description of the shooter and the weapon.

To make something from several other similiar things.
My car broke down so I had to Frankenstein a new engine from old Mustang and Corvette parts.
by Mullholland November 09, 2004
A book by Mary Shelley in which a man by the surname of Frankenstein discovers a method of creating life, and in doing so creates a monster whom he then abandons. The monster's life is a living Hell from that point forward, and he eventually sets out to get revenge upon his maker. The story has symbolic references to many things, including the importance of parenting and the evils of playing God. Either way, a firmly held belief among morons is that the monster's name was Frankenstein, when in fact the monster was never named.
"Ugh, dude! You look like Frankenstein!"
"Yeah, dude, well you look like you need to read up on your freaking nineteenth century literature!"

To hack off choice bits of one or more existing items and then attach them to a new project, thereby bending them to suit your own requirements (diabolic or not). No gothic castles, fortuitously-timed electrical storms or god complexes required for this kind of assembly. Term introduced on the Handyman for the Common Man web TV show.

Cal Thomas Column: The Mommy Wars Are a Symptom of Our Silly, Substanceless Politics
Virtually everything said and done in a presidential election year distorts the truth, much like concave and convex mirrors in a carnival attraction alter one's true reflection.
That kind of distortion occurred in the recent dustup over whether women who choose to stay at home can completely understand the economic challenges and personal struggles faced by women who choose, or need, to work outside the home while raising children.
There is no question that professional women receive much more societal validation than "stay-at-home moms." Few magazine covers at the checkout line or full-page ads promoting events and awards to "successful" women, laud mothers who stay home to raise their children. There aren't a lot of television shows today like "Ozzie and Harriett," "Leave It to Beaver" or "Father Knows Best."
The view expressed by Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen that Mitt Romney's wife, Ann, has "never worked a day in her life" and thus can't relate to struggling families is bogus. Can a politician who has never held a job in the private sector relate to those who work there, or are searching for a job there? I'm thinking of the former community organizer, now president, Barack Obama. Can a career politician like Vice President Joe Biden identify with someone who doesn't have the perks -- planes, limousines, high pay and discounted, or free health care -- he has enjoyed for most of his career?
Former Vice President Dan Quayle's wife, Marilyn, who is an attorney, said it best at the 1992 Republican National Convention in Houston: "...having a profession is not incompatible with being a good mother or a good wife. ... Women's lives are different from men's lives. We make different trade-offs. We make different sacrifices. And we get different rewards."
If a woman "chooses" to work at home (and aren't politically liberal women supposed to support a woman's career choice?) and if she feels adequately compensated, shouldn't her choice be affirmed, not only by her husband or partner, if she has one, but also by society?
Similarly, if a woman wants to work, or must work outside her home, shouldn't she be equally supported by society and not made to feel added guilt and pressure? Reasonable people ought to be able to answer, "yes," to both questions.
Still, all of this is a distraction. Even if Ann Romney had chosen to work outside her home (and she did perform a great deal of volunteer work while battling breast cancer and multiple sclerosis), and even if she then could -- in Rosen's mind -- relate to other women who made that same decision, how would that make anyone else's life better? Would such a choice by Romney have improved the economy so that women who want to work outside the home, but can't find jobs, get one? Would it have allowed women to stay home if they were afforded that "luxury"?
This is what politics has become. It's about feelings and image, not substance and ideas that work. Because of skyrocketing debt, high unemployment and the failed policies they have promoted, Democrats cling to feelings and focus on one's ability to relate. But it's a fiction to believe that the only women's issues of importance are those promoted by the left.
Liberal women are attempting to dominate women who share a different political and moral worldview. It's all a house of mirrors; nothing more than a distortion of reality in an election year. Expect to see more of the same between now and November.

It's all about the politics of class and segment
Submitted by c5then on Tue, 04/17/2012 - 9:28am.
Divide and conquer. We never seem to have any strategic and long term discussions about what should government do or how much should government be involved in something. Even the discussions and debates about the budget and deficit aren't about substantive things, but about emotional issues like who this group wants to kill or who the other group want's to give all the money to....
Politics in this country has devolved into a kind of High School cliquesque, mean-spirited character assasination. Whenever anyone want's to try and pull it up into a more adult level of debate and bring in the Constitution as the authority on what is allowed, never mind if it's a good idea or not, they are denigrated as a nut and a kook. Half the time the response is: "are you serious??!!"

text: Egg Safety SPECIAL OFFER: - Limited Time Only! (The ad below will not display on your printed page) < Back Egg Safety Follow these tips if you plan on eating decorated hard-cooked eggs. Refrigerate hard-cooked eggs whenever you're not working with them. Put them in their cartons if you won't be decorating them right after cooking. Refrigerate them again right after dyeing or decorating them. The American Egg Board advises that you discard hard-cooked eggs that have been out of the fridge for more than two hours. Make sure the eggs you color aren't cracked. If any cracks appear during dyeing or decorating, throw them away. Also throw away any eggs that have been out of the refrigerator for more than 2 hours. Use food coloring or specially made, food-grade egg dyes. Dissolve the dye in water that is warmer than the eggs. If you are using crayons, paints, or other art materials, be sure they are labled nontoxic. Or, use edible decorations like herbs. (You can use any art materials you like if you're not going to eat the eggs.) To prevent discolored rings from forming on hard-boiled eggs, put them in a pan, add water to cover by 1 inch and bring just to a boil. Remove from heat, cover and let stand 15 to 18 minutes, then chill in cold water. To dye eggs without a kit, add 1 teaspoon white vinegar and 20 drops of food color to 1/2 cup boiling water.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin's hope that common sense would prevail in the case of Troy Polamalu using a cell phone on the sidelines did not happen. An NFL spokesman confirmed that Polamalu has been fined for using a cell phone on the sidelines.
In last week's game, the Steelers safety exited the game with concussion-like symptoms and headed to the sidelines where he borrowed a cell phone to call his wife to inform he was OK.
League rules prohibit the use of cell phones, a league spokesman said.
"Possession of cell phones, PDAs or other electronic equipment in the bench area during a game is strictly prohibited by league policy beginning 90 minutes before kickoff through the end of the game."
Tomlin said this week that he hopes "common sense would prevail" on Polamalu possibly being fined.
Polamalu passed a concussion test and could play on Sunday. Check out SB Nation's Behind The Steel Curtain for more on the Steelers this weekend.
