Erath Dominates in 8-0 Win Over UNF
FORT MYERS, Fla., - The Florida Gulf Coast baseball team won its first Atlantic Sun Conference series after an 8-0 win in the series finale on Sunday afternoon. FGCU freshman pitcher Richie Erath (Lake Worth, Fla.) turned in a dominant performance to pick up his second win of the year. FGCU improves to 6-1 overall and 2-1 in the A-Sun while UNF falls to 3-3, 1-2 A-Sun.
"This was a great win for us, to take a team from a great team like UNF in our first conference series," said Head Coach Dave Tollett. "Erath pitched great against a very good ball club that came into the weekend hitting .370. Our guys came into today riding the momentum of last night's game."
After Erath retired the side in order in the first, Josh Upchurch (Cape Coral, Fla.,) led off with a single and stolen base. The next three batters would follow suit and FGCU would bat around in the inning, taking a 4-0 lead after one.
Victor Rodriguez (Cape Coral, Fla.) singled to right with one out in the bottom of the third, prompting a pitching change for the Ospreys. Casey Coleman (Cape Coral, Fla.) doubled to drive in Rodriguez for a 5-0 Eagle lead. The Eagles added a pair of runs in the fourth off a two-run double by Jason Peacock (Bartow, Fla.).
In only his second start, Erath carried a no hitter into the seventh. Michael Smith broke up the no-hit bid with a lead-off single to start the inning. Erath would go 8.0 innings, limiting the Ospreys to a pair of hits while striking out five batters. UNF came into the series hitting .370 as a team after a series win against Mississippi State, who was ranked #23 in the preseason.
Peacock troubled the UNF pitching staff all weekend and capped off the series by going 3-for-5 with a pair of RBI. During the three game set, the senior from Bartow, Fla., went 8-for-13 and drove in four.
Rodriguez and Coleman each went 3-for-4 in the game with an RBI. Rodriguez also scored a run. Stephen Rassel (Lake City, Fla.) and Ozzie Borrell (Hialeah, Fla.) each picked up a pair of hits and scored a pair of runs.
Jonathan Turner picked up the loss for the Ospreys, going 2.1 innings while allowing five runs, six hits and three walks.
Turner fell to 0-1 on the season. FGCU will be back in action on Tuesday when they travel to Tampa, Fla., to face USF at 7:00 pm.

Last week, the Wildcat defense proved up to the task in turning away Aliceville on a critical two-point conversion to seal a 28-27 victory.
On Friday night, it was the Oakman offense's turn to step up — and with the game on the line, it was Jase Trotter's time to shine.
The senior quarterback scored the game-winning touchdown with 21 seconds left in the game — one of six Trotter had on the night — as Oakman beat the Cold Springs Eagles, 42-38 at Hosea Collins Field.
Trotter led the Oakman offense with 388 total yards, connecting on 17-21 passes for 286 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, while rushing for 102 yards on 15 carries, scoring four touchdowns on the ground.
Receivers Purvis Coger and Quinton Harris had great nights as well, contributing to the 412-yard offensive production. Coger had six catches for 119 yards, while Harris added 107 yards on six catches — scoring one touchdown through the air. Harris also rushed for a touchdown for his second score of the night. Jake Jones led the Oakman defense with 10 tackles.
The Wildcats had their problems defensively with Cold Springs' bruising runningback Caleb Ellison, who rushed for 136 yards and three touchdowns on 24 carries — but game clock management favored Oakman.
"My hat is off to Cold Springs — we couldn't stop them all night and were more physical at the line of scrimmage than we were. It's something we have to work on if we're going to have any more wins this year," Oakman coach Mark Hastings said. "Offensively, I can say enough about the veteran leadership of Jase Trotter and the play of our offensive line and receivers. We had a tough region fight against a very capable opponent and when we needed that leadership the most, they came through in a big way."
The Eagles took the lead on the first possession of the game on a 60-yard drive, but were unable to convert a two-point attempt for a 6-0 advantage.
Oakman needed just one play to respond and take the lead, as Trotter connected with Harris on a 61-yard touchdown strike, putting the Wildcats in command 7-6.
Cold Springs scored 16 unanswered points to open the second quarter on drives of 29 and 39 yards to regain the lead, 22-7.
The Wildcats cut the Eagles's advantage to 22-14 following an 11-play, 58-yard drive, with Harris taking the ball in from 10 yards out for the score.
After holding Cold Springs to a punt on the ensuing series, the Oakman offense went back to work — putting together an eight-play, 81-yard drive, capped-off by Trotter's 16-yard touchdown run. Harris ran the ball in for the two-point conversion to tie the game a 22-22 going into halftime.
Oakman broke the tie to begin the third quarter, topping off an eight-play, 65-yard drive with a six yard run by Trotter for the 29-22 edge.
The Eagles battled back from the scoring deficit with a 52-yard drive of their own near the end of the quarter, taking command of the game 30-29 after a successful two-point conversion.
The battle continued throughout the fourth quarter, with the lead changing three times before reaching the game's conclusion.
Trotter scored on the second play of the quarter to put Oakman back on top, 35-30, after the missed two-point conversion attempt.
With 1:46 remaining in the contest, the Eagles resumed control on a one-yard run by Ellison, 38-35, following a two-point conversion.
The Wildcats, however, would drive quickly to grab the victory, topping a 75-yard series with Trotter's fourth rushing touchdown of the night on a five-yard carry with 21 seconds remaining in the game.
Harris ended the come-back hopes of the Eagles on the first play of their possession after intercepting a pass, ensuring the 42-38 victory.
With wins by fellow region front-runners Lamar County and Aliceville, Oakman's postseason fate, as well as that of the 2013 Class 2A, Region 4 championship still hang in the balance — pending a tie-breaking decision by Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA) guidelines.

Operation Christmas Child's recent National Collection Week just wrapped up, and thousands of gifts from Montgomery County are on their way to children who otherwise might not receive a holiday gift.
"Through Operation Christmas Child, the world's largest Christmas project of its kind, local volunteers collected more than 2,400 gifts at the Silver Spring collection site and 600 in Bethesda. More than 10,700 were collected at the regional Rockville Collection Center," according to a statement from Samaritan's Purse, the organization running Operation Christmas Child.
"The shoeboxes' journey to children has just begun. Volunteers will be working in the coming weeks to prepare, package and transport the 7.2 million gifts collected ... across the United States to their final destination," the statement added.
There's still time to help, though. Build a box online to send shoebox gifts to kids in some of the hardest-to-reach countries.

North Country Community College President Dr. Steve Tyrell and his team should be commended for the most ambitious plans to come out of that institute in many years.
The college, which has campuses in Saranac Lake, Ticonderoga and Malone, just unveiled a five-year plan that Tyrell says could produce up to 100 new jobs and have an economic impact of at least $11 million.
And taxpayers would not be carrying the load, as the plan counts on private investment and state funding (yes, we know, state money comes from taxpayers, but the cost is spread out statewide, lessening the local impact tremendously).
Among the proposals, some of which are already underway:
• Six new curriculums at NCCC to train generations of workers for the new jobs.
• A three-pronged student-housing project in Ticonderoga.
• Buying the vacant Lowe's building in Ticonderoga to create a School of Applied Technology, with spinoff incubator businesses and industry.
• Launching biotech- and tourism-related curriculum at the Saranac Lake campus, including housing and an incubator concept for small-business development.
• Converting two unused buildings in downtown Malone to develop agriculture-related technologies that provide sustainable energy, including hydroponics, aeroponics and aquaponics.
Tyrell told very receptive Franklin County legislators that private investors are already showing interest. That will likely only grow if Gov. Andrew Cuomo's Start-Up NY initiative, approved by the State Legislature at the end of its session, produces the ballyhooed results.
Start-Up NY would forgive, for 10 years, state taxes for businesses and their employees who locate on or near SUNY campuses. Other incentives are also included, and the program is likely to have developers looking at area campuses in a new light.
Community colleges have an adaptable quality that enables them to create courses that train people specifically for careers available in area businesses. That makes them incredibly valuable to area residents and government leaders. An educated, skilled workforce is essential to the prosperity and growth of every community.

Crown Point, Keene move on in Class D playoffs
CROWN POINT — The Crown Point boys' soccer team proved to be a sharing bunch in its Section VII Class D preliminary win over Johnsburg Tuesday.
Five players were credited with a goal or an assist in the Panthers' 6-0 blanking of the Jaguars.
Judd DeBrobander registered two goals and two assists, while Joe Foote added two goals and an assist in the six-goal differential.
"Crown Point controlled the game from start-to-finish," Panthers coach Randy Pertak said. "We were able to score very quickly in both halves. We passed the ball very well, and we controlled the game."
Noah Macey opened the game's scoring with just 1:26 gone in the first half on a one-time feed from Chance Potter.
DeBrobander helped Crown Point extended its differential to two goals 14:03 later. Foote was credited with the assist on the play.
The Panthers would maintain a 2-0 advantage at the halftime break.
DeBrobander, Erick DuShane and Foote each scored second-half goals. Three of the four tallies occurred with under 10 minutes to play in regulation.
"The boys really looked to setup each other well (Tuesday)," Pertak said. "I hope we can carry this momentum against Elizabethtown-Lewis Thursday. We did not play very well when we played them in a tournament earlier this season."
Crown Point outshot the Jaguars in the match, 22-6.
Brendan Crowningshield registered one save in net for the win, while Mark Cleveland made nine saves in the losing effort for Johnsburg.

KEENE — Harry Joanette, Gabe Warner and Colton Venner each scored, while the Beavers were credited with an own goal in their preliminary win.
Joanette scored with just 3:58 elapsed in the opening frame.
Warner and Venner scored back-to-back goals with less than five minutes remaining in the first half to make it 3-0.
The own goal occurred with 32:29 remaining in the second half.

Chateaugay 1, Norwood-Norfolk 0
CHATEAUGAY — After being absent from the lineup for seven games with a foot injury, Chad Stalter catapulted the Bulldogs (11-3-1, 10-2-1) to a league win.
Stalter took a quick shot that found the far corner of the net with 10:10 remaining in regulation.
"Brennen Secore helped setup the play," Chateaugay coach Bob Ouimet said. "He pushed the ball up the pitch and cleared it from the left side. From there, Stalter was able to finish."
The Bulldogs were relentless on offense from the get-go, according to Ouimet.
"Stalter actually had multiple opportunities to score in the first half," Ouimet said. "He took three straight point-blank shots, but wasn't able to bury it. We had the wind in our favor in the first half, but couldn't capitalize."
Stalter's game-winning goal was the 36th of his career, moving him into second all-time in school scoring.
Chateaugay has one more regular-season game remaining on its schedule. The Bulldogs have their Senior Game versus Parishville-Hopkinton Friday.
"We tied the first time we played them, so it should be a good game," Ouimet said.
Chateaugay 1, Norwood-Norfolk 0
Chateaugay 0 1 — 1
Norwood Norfolk 0 0 — 0
Second half- 1, C, Stalter (Secore), 29:50.
Shots: Chateaugay 21. Norwood-Norfolk 3.

The Redskins' defense was the second-worst in the league in terms of yards per game, yet it will have three representatives when the NFC Pro Bowlers take the field next Sunday in Hawaii. That's because a pair of Washington defenders were late additions to the roster, replacing two players who had to bow out.
Redskins LBs Brian Orakpo and London Fletcher were added to the roster, replacing Packers OLB Clay Matthews and Bears MLB Brian Urlacher. Matthews will be preparing for the Super Bowl this week, while Urlacher will miss the Pro Bowl because of injury. Washington CB DeAngelo Hall was already on the NFC roster.
"I am extremely honored to play in the Pro Bowl," Fletcher said in a statement released by the team. "I am very excited to make the trip to Hawaii. I would like to thank all of my teammates, coaches, fans and everyone else who played a part in getting me here."
Said Orakpo: "It's great to get to go to the Pro Bowl again in just my second season in the league. I am excited about going to Hawaii, where the Pro Bowl has been for so many years. Last year was fun, but it will be special getting to play in Hawaii. I want to thank all my teammates and coaches for helping me get here, and I also want to thank all of the fans who voted for me."
Orakpo had 56 tackles and nine sacks for the 'Skins this season. Fletcher led the team with 136 tackles.

Tiger Woods is suffering from a mild medial collateral ligament sprain in his left knee, as well as a mild strain to his left Achilles tendon, he announced Tuesday on his website. The injury will force him to miss this weekends Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte.
"I personally contacted tournament officials and expressed my regret in not being able to play," Woods said. "This is an outstanding event, but I must follow doctors' orders to get better."
Tiger suffered the injury during a shot at the Masters more than two weeks ago. On hole No. 17, Tiger played a "difficult and awkward" shot from the pine needles under the Eisenhower tree on the left side of the fairway. He's expected to make a return to action in a few weeks, but for now, it's rest and cold-water therapy, per doctor's orders, along with soft tissue treatment.
The left knee is the same one Tiger had reconstructive ACL surgery on after winning the 2008 U.S. Open; he had been playing with a torn ligament in his left knee for at least 10 months before that operation.

Eighty years ago, WCS naturalist William Beebe and engineer Otis Barton plunged more than 3,000 feet into the ocean and observed never-before-seen marine life in its natural habitat.

On his historic dive, writes Institutional Archivist Madeleine Thompson, WCS naturalist William Beebe took on the then-unprecedented work of attempting to understand the lives of these animals in their natural habitat.
Caleb McClennen, executive director for the Wildlife Conservation Society's Global Marine Program, explains the most important take away from Discovery Channel's Shark Week: sharks are an extraordinarily threatened species.

How to upload a logo in the Joomla 3.1 Protostar template
Another option in the Joomla 3.0 Protostar template we will review is the logo setting:
Upload a custom logo for the site template.
Uploading a custom logo in your Joomla 3.0 hosted website is straight forward, and you can see in the screenshots below how the logo will show in the upper left of your pages:
|Without a Logo
|With a custom logo
You'll notice that if you choose to show a custom logo, your site title will no longer show. In our testing, you can see the My Joomla 3.0 Website title shows in the before screenshot, but not in the after.
To add a logo in Joomla 3.0
- Log into your Joomla 3.0 Admin Dashboard
- In the top menu, click Extensions and then click Template Manager
- In the list of templates, find and click on the Protostar template. In our testing, we clicked on My Default Style (Protostar)
- Click the Options (or Advanced if you don't see Options) tab towards the top of the page
- Find the setting labeled Logo, and then click the Select button next to it.
At this point you have several options:
6.1: Browse through files you've already uploaded and click on an image
6.2: Next to Image URL, type in the url to the image
6.3: Next to Upload file, click Choose Files and then upload a logo from your computer
After using one of the three options above, click the Insert button in the top right of the pop-up and then click the Save button in the top left of the page to save the settings for you new logo.
A note about File size:
Joomla will show you the file size limit if you decided to upload a file. For example, we saw at message stating there was a 10mb limit. As far as dimenions, we were allowed to upload an image 2000px long. The chrome browser resized the long image so it didn't stretch off the screen, but Firefox showed the full 2000px wide image (which didn't look good at all).
We value your feedback!
There is a step or detail missing from the instructions.
The information is incorrect or out-of-date.

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.
French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.
The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.
The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.
The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.
One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.
During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.
France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.

BRANSON, Mo. (AP) - It's the second time in less than two months that a large jet has landed at the wrong airport.
This time, it was a Southwest Airlines flight that was supposed to land at Branson Airport in southwest Missouri. It instead landed at another airport about 7 miles away, with a much shorter runway.
One passenger tells a Dallas TV station (WFAA) that he could feel the pilot slam on the brakes. No one was hurt among the 124 passengers and five crew.
In November, a Boeing 747 carrying aircraft parts landed at the wrong airport in Kansas.

Many times, when the spot welded bracket breaks off, it takes the weld with it and leaves a round hole in the hood. That creates the illusion that something was bolted there.
Over the years those brackets take a real beating. I almost never find a hood that doesn't require some weld repair in that area. More certain is the need for welding on the bottom of the instrument panel. These ALWAYS require welding.
Ah`Hah, George, Your explaination tells me why the 2-holes are left so neatly in the hood when the spot-weld and the bracket separates from the hood. Do you think it would be a good idea to add a couple of tack-weld spots to the other bracket that has not separated yet for added reinforcement?. __ I am also going to have to do a lot of repair to the bottom of instrument panel.

With over seven miles of Blue Flag sandy beaches, and flanked by the New Forest
to the east and the Isle of Purbeck (inspiration for Enid Blyton's Famous Five
adventures) to the west, Bournemouth and Poole are family-friendly south coast
This stretch of coast runs from Mudeford (with possibly the most delightfully
positioned and the most expensive beach huts in the country) and Christchurch
(rapidly turning into a foodie destination with its popular annual food festival)
through Boscombe and Bournemouth to Branksome Park, Sandbanks and Poole.
You can cycle all along the seafront from Hengistbury Head to Sandbanks with its
chain ferry across to Studland's dunes-backed beaches. The less energetic can relax
with a cappuccino or a glass of wine in a beachside café.
Bournemouth's town centre is an appealing mix of Victorian arcades and formal
gardens. More serious shoppers head for Westbourne's individual boutiques, galleries and cafes.
Poole is best known for its picturesque sheltered harbour – the second largest in
the world after Sydney's. The shallow waters make it ideal for youngsters to enjoy
watersports. Poole's busy ferry terminal serves the Channel Islands and France.
Local attractions include Brownsea Island now owned by the National Trust, Poole
Quay, Bournemouth's and Boscombe's piers, the Aquarium and the Russell-Cotes
Museum and Art Gallery. Venues include Poole's Lighthouse arts centre,
Bournemouth's Pavilion Theatre and the BIC. Bournemouth's front has been transformed and now boasts a public area for open air performances which include dance, music, film nights and theatre productions.

Alaska AG Resigns, Criticized for Role in Troopergate Probe
Posted Feb 11, 2009 7:19 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
The attorney general of Alaska has resigned after criticism over his role in the Troopergate investigation of Gov. Sarah Palin.
Attorney General Talis Colberg announced the resignation in a statement yesterday, the Associated Press reports. "I determined that it was in the best interest of the state of Alaska to move on and pursue other opportunities," he said.
Colberg had represented seven of nine state employees who initially refused to testify before a legislative panel investigating Palin's firing of the state police chief, Walt Monegan. He contended he was fired after resisting pressure from Palin and her supporters to fire her brother-in-law, a state trooper who was involved in a contentious divorce from Palin's sister.
Palin told AP she hopes "this harsh political climate we are in right now won't deter others who want to help this great state."

|Intveen giving US a trial run
|Monday, November 26, 2012 10:44 AM
DELPHOS — Fifteen-year-old Julie Intveen of Verl, Germany, has dreamed about one day moving to America and starting a life here.
With the friendship-pact and cultural-exchange program between Delphos and Verl, Intveen was able to get a taste of what that would be like.
"I've always thought about living in America later," she said. "I thought this would be a good way to learn the language better and try being far away from home for a while."
"The people are more friendly but I expected that because I heard a lot about it from last year's students who came here," she said. "I like how nice everyone is. Everyone talks to me and asks me questions. I like it here. There are so many things to discover and places to see. America is way bigger than Germany. There are so many restaurants, too, even in a little town like Delphos. Verl is almost the same size and we don't have nearly as many restaurants."
When not sitting in class at St. John's, Intveen has been spending her time getting acquainted with staples of American culture and engaging in some of the same activities she does at home.
"I play tennis at home and I go horseback riding," she said. "I've played tennis here and we have horses out in the barn, so I can ride here, too. I've seen a lot of movies, like 'The Blind Side', 'The Campaign' and 'House at the end of the Street.' My favorite food that I've had here is Pop Tarts."
Intveen has grown close to her host family, Larry and Heather Bonifas and their children, and has made many friends while going to school at St. John's.
"If I could take anything back home with me, it would be all of the friends I've got here and the people I've gotten close to," she said.
The cultural exchange students head back to Germany on Dec. 8 and Intveen hopes it won't be too long before she can make the trip back again.
"I would definitely like to come back someday, maybe for college," she said. "I want to study journalism, maybe work in newspapers. I think moving here would be the best thing that could happen for me. I miss my family but I don't really want to go back. My time here has flown."
Intveen's parents back home are Peter and Martina Intveen and she has a 12-year-old sister named Claire.

Dallas, Tex. -- Six weeks ago, Jerry DiPoto was hired as the Los Angeles Angels' new general manager.
Thursday afternoon in Dallas, at baseball's Winter Meetings, DiPoto took center stage in a press conference to announce the Angels had entered agreements to sign free agents Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson.
While DiPoto wouldn't discuss contractual specifics, he did respond to a question about the general nature of the process by saying, ""It's a tribute to the aggressive nature, the competitive nature of our owner." Which rings true, considering what these two contracts will do to the Angels' payroll in the coming years.
Fortunately, one reporter in the press conference did bring up the question that's been in everyone's mind ... How old is Albert Pujols, anyway? DiPoto did address the question, but of course didn't express any doubt ...
"Albert Pujols's age, to me, is not an issue. He is an honorable man, he is a respectable man."
"I don't think that we've seen the last of Albert Pujols's great seasons."
"He hits like a 27-year-old."
DiPoto was also asked about Mark Trumbo, who a) finished second in this year's Rookie of the Year balloting, and b) as a first baseman, seems to have just lost his position. Particularly with DH Bobby Abreu under contract in 2012.
DiPoto on Trumbo: "We have first-base at-bats, we have DH at-bats, we have outfield at-bats. Mark Trumbo is particularly athletic, has played a little bit at third base, he's got a history in the outfield."
Well, okay. But they don't have many first-base at-bats or many DH at-bats. They've also got Vernon Wells, Torii Hunter, Peter Bourjos and Mike Trout in the outfield. As for third base ... I played a little bit of third base, too. That grand experiment lasted for three games and five errors. I doubt if we'll see Trumbo over there for more than a couple of games in March. Just a proof of concept, however failed.
So hey, if you're looking for a first baseman who needs to learn the strike zone, call the Angels.
At one point, DiPoto said, ""I can't say in my wildest dreams I thought I would be sitting here today."
That makes two of us, Jerry. That makes two of us.

Stances of Faiths on LGBT Issues: United Methodist Church
The United Methodist Church, with an estimated 10.4 million members, has current policies that are strongly against the LGBT community. However, many church leaders, including local pastors, welcome gays and lesbians as church members and support their basic human rights. The denomination prohibits ministers from blessing same-sex unions and condemns gay sex. It also officially excludes noncelibate gay and lesbian people from ordination, though this rule has been the subject of recent controversy.
Transgender clergy stand in an awkward and precarious position as there is no specific stance stated in the Book of Discipline, which is the instrument for setting forth the laws, plan, polity, and process by which United Methodists govern themselves.
Rights for Gays and Lesbians
Regarding the denomination's particular stance on homosexuality, the 2012 Book of Discipline states:
"The United Methodist Church does not condone the practice of homosexuality and consider this practice incompatible with Christian teaching. We affirm that God's grace is available to all. We will seek to live together in Christian community, welcoming, forgiving, and loving one another, as Christ has loved and accepted us. We implore families and churches not to reject or condemn lesbian and gay members and friends. We commit ourselves to be in ministry for and with all persons."
The church has officially denounced homophobia and heterosexism and is committed to their eradication. The denomination explicitly states that gays and lesbians are of equal sacred worth as heterosexuals and should be welcomed into United Methodist families and congregations.
Likewise, the General Board of Church and Society of the UMC, which seeks to relate the gospel of Jesus Christ to the members of the Church and to the persons and structures of the communities and world in which they live, encouraged the repeal of the U.S. military policy known as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." You can read the United Methodist resolution on this at "'Military Service Regardless of Sexual Orientation'" (Faith in Action, Nov. 19, 2010).
The United Methodist Church's highest policy-making body, General Conference, stated that the U.S. military should not exclude persons from service solely on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. General Conference has called this policy "discriminatory, unethical and regrettable."
The United Methodist Church also supports "certain basic human rights and civil liberties" for gays and lesbians, including some limited recognition of same-sex relationships. For example, the 2008 Book of Discipline states:
"Certain basic human rights and civil liberties are due all persons. We are committed to supporting those rights and liberties for all persons, regardless of sexual orientation. We see a clear issue of simple justice in protecting the rightful claims where people have shared material resources, pensions, guardian relationships, mutual powers of attorney, and other such lawful claims typically attendant to contractual relationships that involve shared contributions, responsibilities, and liabilities, and equal protection before the law. Moreover, we support efforts to stop violence and other forms of coercion against all persons, regardless of sexual orientation."
However, the denomination's top court declined to reconsider Judicial Council Decision 1032 at the end of October 2010. Decision 1032 states that a United Methodist pastor has the right to determine local church membership, even if the decision is based on the person's sexual orientation.
Sexual Relations
The 2008 Book of Discipline frames the UMC's beliefs about human sexuality, "Although all persons are sexual beings whether or not they are married, sexual relations are affirmed only with the covenant of monogamous, heterosexual marriage."
Blessing of Same-Sex Unions
The church forbids United Methodist ministers from performing weddings or commitment ceremonies for same-sex couples even in states where it is legal or for its buildings to be used for such ceremonies. Ministers in violation could be defrocked, but some United Methodist ministers have publicly performed them, despite the church's regulations. For example, in 2013, church officials defrocked Rev. Frank Schaefer, a United Methodist pastor from central Pennsylvania who officiated his son's gay wedding in Massachusetts.
At the 2012 General Conference, the policy forbidding the blessing of same-sex unions was challenged but upheld. The conference delegates also upheld church's official doctrine declaring support for "laws in civil society that define marriage as the union of one man and one woman."
In 2012, the General Conference reaffirmed that marriage is between a man and a woman by stating:
"We affirm the sanctity of the marriage covenant that is expressed in love, mutual support, personal commitment, and shared fidelity between a man and a woman. We believe that God's blessing rests upon such marriage, whether or not there are children of the union. We reject social norms that assume different standards for women than for men in marriage. We support laws in civil society that define marriage as the union of one man and one woman."
Additionally, the UMC's Judicial Council ruled in 2009 that church law prohibits clergy from performing same-sex marriages or commitment ceremonies. Thus, the denomination does not sanction civil union ceremonies or weddings conducted by UMC ministers or in UMC churches, despite appeals from some regional congregations and clergy that it does so.
In 2011, some 70 United Methodist ministers in Minnesota announced that they're willing to marry gay couples. They signed a statement at Minnesota's Annual United Methodist Clergy Conference, saying they would "offer the grace of the Church's blessing to any prepared couple desiring Christian marriage." The move by the ministers comes as Minnesota voters prepare to vote next year on a constitutional amendment that would define marriage in the state as being only between one man and one woman.
Ordination of Gay and Lesbian Ministers
The UMC's official doctrine bars "self-avowed practicing homosexuals" from the clergy.
"While persons set apart by the Church for ordained ministry are subject to all the frailties of the human condition and the pressures of society, they are required to maintain the highest standards of holy living in the world. The practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching. Therefore self-avowed practicing homosexuals are not to be certified as candidates, ordained as ministers, or appointed to serve in The United Methodist Church."
"Self-avowed practicing homosexual" is understood to mean that a person openly acknowledges to a bishop, district superintendent, district committee of ordained ministry, board of ordained ministry, or clergy session that the person is a practicing homosexual.
In March 2004, an openly lesbian pastor in Seattle, the Rev. Karen Dammann, was acquitted on charges of violating church law. Her trial and acquittal stirred up furor among UMC leaders on both sides of the issue. In May 2004, the Judicial Council declared that bishops could not appoint ministers who had been found to be "self-avowed practicing homosexuals." The court also said that it did not have the authority to reverse Dammann's acquittal.
In December 2004, in a church court trial in Pennsylvania, the jury voted to remove the Rev. Irene Elizabeth Stroud from the ministry. Stroud had come out to her congregation more than a year earlier, saying that she lived in a "covenant relationship" with her same-sex partner. The trial verdict was overturned on appeal, but the original verdict was reinstated by the Judicial Council of the United Methodist Church in October 2005.
Prior to 2004, the last time a United Methodist minister had been defrocked because of his or her sexual orientation was in 1987, when a church court in New Hampshire ruled against another out lesbian, the Rev. Rose Mary Denman.
On June 21 - 23, 2011, the United Methodist Church once again wrestled with the issue of homosexuality in a public church trial for the seventh time in 20 years
The Rev. Amy DeLong, an out lesbian clergy member of the Wisconsin Annual Conference, faced two charges of violating church law and the possibility of losing her ministerial credentials. Her trial began June 21 at Peace United Methodist Church in Kaukauna, Wisconsin. DeLong was charged with violating the United Methodist Church's ban on non-celibate, gay clergy and the prohibition against clergy officiating at same-sex unions.
The trial court acquitted her of being a "self-avowed practicing homosexual" by a vote of 12-1. The same panel unanimously found her guilty of violating the prohibition against conducting ceremonies celebrating same-gender unions.
After seven hours of deliberations, a jury of 13 United Methodist clergy voted 9-4 to suspend the Rev. Amy DeLong from her ministerial functions for 20 days. Part of the penalty required DeLong to use those 20 days for "spiritual discernment" and to work with a committee of church officials on creating a new process for resolving disputes over ministerial violations of church covenant.
The trial came at a time when the denomination's longtime debate over homosexuality was rekindled in advance of the 2012 General Conference. Only the General Conference can change The Book of Discipline.
In February 2011, 36 retired bishops signed A Statement of Counsel to the Church A Statement of Counsel to the Church—2011, urging the denomination to end its ban on gay clergy. About 42 percent of the denomination's 85 retired bishops signed the statement. However, neither active nor retired bishops are allowed to vote at General Conference, which meets every four years.
Transgender Issues
In 2007, The Rev. Drew Phoenix spoke at both a closed clergy session and a general plenary session in May during the annual conference meeting at the Wardman Park Hotel in Washington. In his statement to the plenary session, the 48-year-old pastor explained that "last fall, after a lifelong spiritual journey, and years of prayer and discernment, I decided to change my name from Ann Gordon to Drew Phoenix in order to reflect my true gender identity and to honor my spiritual transformation and relationship with God."
The issue of transgender clergy came to the forefront of the denomination in 2007 when Bishop John R. Schol reappointed Phoenix as pastor of St. John's United Methodist Church in Baltimore, MD. The Bishop said the 2004 Book of Discipline did not prevent transgender clergy from serving in an appointment. The denomination's highest court affirmed that decision, agreeing that gender change is not addressed in the United Methodist constitution.
While church policy does not permit self-avowed practicing gay clergy to be appointed and bans gay unions, it says nothing about transgender clergy.
Phoenix is not the first United Methodist transgender clergy member. In 2002, the Rev. Rebecca A. Steen decided to leave the denomination after controversy over her desire to return to active ministry after gender reassignment. She had sought voluntary leave from the conference in 1999. Prior to that time, Steen, who was then the Rev. Richard A. Zamostny, had served churches in three Maryland communities during a 17-year career.
In Aug. 2009, the Rev. David Weekley started telling the story of his experience as a transgender man, beginning with his own congregation. In an effort to expand the discussion about sexuality and gender throughout the denomination, Weekley came out despite a climate of reluctance to discussing LGBT inclusion in the church.

Product Information
- Color Explosion 3D from Crayola
- Part of the Color Explosion brand
- We recommend this product for ages 6 and up
What It IsCrayola's popular Color Explosion gets a great new twist this year as it goes 3D. Kids have made the original Color Explosion sets a major hit. They love tracing and drawing and making their imaginations spring to life-almost by magic.
Now, with a 3D twist, there's even more fun to this basically simple activity. The science is simple, too. Warm colors (red, yellow) tend to move towards your eye, while cool colors (blue, green) recede. The colors are on the same plane, of course, when kids are drawing, but when you put on the special, included 3D glasses, you get the illusion of depth.
The product comes in two versions-Regular and Wide. (The difference is the size of the paper.) The tablets come with 12 wire-bound tablets, each with a different image, 6 markers and the 3D glasses.
Color Explosion is no-mess, open-ended play that keeps kids occupied and creating, while giving them gentle guidance in the form of lines to trace, that makes this ideal for younger kids who want the great looking results that big kids get, but who may not yet have the fine motor skills. (This helps them develop those as well.)
This is a lot of value and a lot of fun-a perfect combination.

Tips for HandsHands are the most visible parts of you, but they also take a lot of abuse. You use them in everyday activity, and yet, they are the ultimate accessory. You must give them the same attention you give your face.
This mixture whitens and brightens the skin on the hands. With beautiful hands, you should also have beautiful nails. Beautiful hands are often marred by nail-biting. A nervous habit it makes nails look like little stubs and a big area of bare skin is exposed.
To get rid of this ugly habit, apply on your nails some bitter mixture like ground quinine pills, the distasteful mixture will surely help you to stop biting your nails. White spots on the nails occur because of air between the layers of the nail. This is caused by injury. Nothing can be done about this, so they will have to grow out as the nail grows.

The Australian Sex Party says that all Victorians should be outraged by comments made yesterday by the Victorian state director of the Australian Christians, Vickie Janson, suggesting a link between domestic violence and abortion.
Sex Party President, Fiona Patten said "These comments are absurd and insulting to all women. They accuse women who choose to terminate a pregnancy of being responsible for the assaults of other women" she said. "Those who perpetrate domestic violence have more in common with those who seek to control a woman's body through legislation limiting access to abortion, than those who support a woman's right to choose whether or not she completes a pregnancy".
IN a remarkable and largely overlooked statement on Radio 3AW with Neil Mitchell on April 29, Tony Abbott admitted the war on drugs is "not a war we will ever finally win".
"The war on drugs is a war you can lose," the Prime Minister said. "You may not ever win it, but you've always got to fight it."
This game-changing statement followed a press conference about the release of an Australian Crime Commission report on illicit drugs, which admitted that "despite record seizures and arrests we are still only detecting the tip of the drug iceberg".

of Iraq, which has lead to the death of over half a million innocent civilian Iraqis (600 thousand at last count, around a year ago) and over 4000 American lives.
Obama only said that he would do surgical strikes on terrorist training and operating camps when there is actionable intelligence and the host countries refuse to root out those camps.
Such strikes are aimed at taking out the terrorists, instead of causing the death of civilians, to the the tune of millions, which follows wholesale invasions like that of Iraq.
