And our Israel Movement is expected to continue growing, to accommodate all who seek a Progressive belief system that integrates traditional and modern values; conducts Jewish rituals in a fully egalitarian way; and works toward social justice reflecting Judaism's highest prophetic character, which calls for freedom, equality, and peace among all the inhabitants of the land.
The IMPJ's public and legal advocacy arm is the Israel Religious Action Center (IRAC), which for the past 25 years has served as Israel's preeminent civil and human rights organization, championing democratic and societal change, including women's rights and full religious equality for all streams of Judaism (official recognition, funding, equal status for non-Orthodox rabbis, institutions, and communities). As one example, this past February the IMPJ filed a petition with Israel's High Court, charging it with "foot dragging tactics" to avoid paying regional non-Orthodox rabbis, even though the Attorney General ruled in May 2012 that the state would start paying these salaries.
Israel's Reform communities are diverse. Some primarily serve Russian or Spanish-speaking Israelis. Others are best known for their creative or musical worship services, special women's programs, lectures and study sessions, outdoor services, early childhood education, and offerings for children and adults with special needs.
All the communities are homegrown. Participants are both sabras (native born Israelis) and olim (newcomers). Congregations strive toward a natural synergy of the highest ideals of both Progressive Judaism and Israeli society, and the Israeli experience is manifest in Israeli prayer books, traditions, issues, insights, and rituals. In general, Israeli Progressive Judaism tends to be more traditional than in the Diaspora. A Progressive Beit Din (religious court) regulates conversion procedures and guides other ritual matters. Nonetheless, at services you will hear familiar prayers and melodies-and be warmly welcomed to your spiritual home away from home.
So, the next time you visit Israel, come and meet your Reform Jewish family. Here is a handy guide to all the Progressive communities in the Jewish State, complete with worship offerings and contact information.
Meet ARZA ARZA—the Association for Reform Zionists of America— works in partnership with the Israel Movement for Reform and Progressive Judaism and the Union for Reform Judaism to support and strengthen the growing Reform Movement in Israel. ARZA's member households (22,000 to date) are eligible to vote for World Zionist Congress (WZC) delegates, enabling the U.S. Reform community to advocate for a pluralistic Israeli society. ARZA also spearheads initiatives ranging from targeted emergency campaigns to aid Israeli war victims and rebuild damaged property to sponsoring celebrations of Reform Israel Shabbat, often in collaboration with the URJ and other Reform organizations. Reform congregations in the Diaspora can connect to their Israeli counterparts through ARZA's Mifgash program, which facilitates Israeli worship experiences, a deeper understanding of the IMPJ's strides in Israeli society, and informal encounters with Israeli Reform leaders and congregants. To support ARZA's work and ensure the Reform Movement remains well represented in Israel politics, join ARZA, the primary connection to Israel for all American Reform Jews, before the 2014 WZC elections.

Women's Lacrosse Travels To No. 2 North Carolina Friday

Dolphins matched-up against fourth top 10 opponent this season
The Jacksonville women's lacrosse team continues its torrid non-conference schedule when they face their fourth top-10 opponent of the season this Friday night. This time, it will be on the road against #2 North Carolina.
It will be the first match between JU (9-3) and UNC (11-2), one of the traditional names in college sports.
"They are always mentioned among the best programs in the country each year no matter what. They have won a lot of games over the years and consistently play at a very high level. We are excited to make the trip to historic Fetzer Field for the game on Friday night," said head coach Mindy McCord.
UNC has among the most all-American players ever produced by a university and has been ranked in the top-10 nearly every year since the programs inception nearly two decades ago. This year the all-American candidates are led by senior midfielder Cara Kannizarro, and goal keeper Lauren Maksym, junior midfielders Brittany Copa, and Abbey Friend, and sophomore midfielder Margaret Corzel.
"You don't see any weaknesses across the board for them. They always have among the best talent anywhere and they have a lot of depth. Their home field is a tough environment for visiting teams. Their coaching staff is also highly decorated and very experienced. There are not many teams like them out there which is why we want to play them," added McCord.
UNC has had another strong season, losing only to #1 Maryland by 1 goal and #2 Florida by 2 goals while defeating defending NCAA champion Northwestern. They have also defeated common opponent Duke in overtime on the road. JU looks to test it's style against the veteran Tar Heels in an effort to gain more experience for the stretch run of the season.
"As the season gets shorter, we need games like this to prepare for May. Improving each game is what we have talked about all season. We are a much different team than when we faced Syracuse, England and Vanderbilt to start the season. We need to keep evolving through this weekend's games as well," McCord said.
After the game, JU will return home on Saturday and hold a brief practice in preparation for A-Sun opponent Detroit, whom they play on Sunday. Sunday is JU's senior day and also marks the final home regular season contest for the Dolphins. Seven seniors will be honored, all of whom have played critical roles in the development of Jacksonville University as a household name in women's lacrosse in just four seasons of competition. Ironically, the senior's first win came as freshmen against Detroit.
"When we first started this program with one scholarship and a lot of dreams, most of the seniors never envisioned where they are today," says McCord. "I think they still have more to go on their journey. For them, they are just getting started as successful people. JU was a place for them to grow and prepare for more success. We have a lot of unfinished business this year with the ASun tournament we host and our eye on the NCAA playoffs. It's far from over for this amazing group of leaders!".

Principal's Perspective Newsletters & Messages
Dear Viking Community: (February 3, 2014)
It is baffling to me that first semester has ended and we are on the downhill run towards the end of school. Where has the year gone? We had a great first half of the year at LSHS and I wanted to send along words of encouragement as we begin second semester. The Viking tradition of excellence is alive and well and our seniors continue to lead this charge! In fact, we just received our first semester discipline report and are proud to share our number of discipline referrals have dropped over 70% the past five years. What a compliment to our teachers for creating engaging lessons and our students for being positive democratic citizens. To view the detailed information, click here.
It is great to report more of our students can study and have positive relationships at LSHS than ever before. We are looking forward to continuing that trend second semester. Also, thank you for your support of our teachers, students and programs. We work hard to provide a world-class education for you and hope you are as proud of what we do as we are at LSHS.
Go Vikings!

Sarbanes Statement on Newtown Tragedy
WASHINGTON – U.S. Congressman John Sarbanes (D-Md.) released the following statement on the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut:
"I am deeply saddened by the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. As a father, this senseless tragedy has been especially difficult to comprehend and the victims and their families remain in my thoughts and prayers. I would also like to recognize the heroic and life-saving actions of the teachers and staff at Sandy Hook. They reacted quickly to protect the lives of countless children in harm's way.
"I welcome the President's call for action and look forward to working with my colleagues to build support for measures that will prevent more tragedies like this. I have long supported enactment of sensible gun laws and other measures that prevent gun violence, including efforts to reinstitute the federal assault weapons ban, preventing criminals from accessing dangerous weapons and encouraging vigorous enforcement of background checks.
"We must also examine how to improve the availability of mental health services for those in need. Ensuring that such services are provided in a comprehensive and sustained fashion, while at the same time respecting basic rights of privacy, will require an open and honest conversation and ultimately a meaningful investment of resources at the federal, state and local levels."

A: Pours a clear golden yellow with a tight, bubbly white head.
S: Aromas of straw, grass, grain, wax, honey, lemon, biscuit, crackers, and mild herbs are present on the nose.
T: Gentle notes of minerals, herbs, beeswax, honey, grass, straw, grain, lemon, biscuits, and crackers slowly fill the mouth. The finish is clipped, yet flavorful with a great integration of biscuit, herb, lemon, and honey flavors.
M: Fairly full in body, at least for the style, yet not all that dry. Carbonation is delicate and airy, imparting near effortless ease in drinking.
O: A superb German lager and a wonderful, authentic representation of a classic and often underappreciated style.

.5L bottle:
The beer poured a clear golden color that produced big, light, white head that was very well retained, which settled into a thin cap for the duration of the beer. The beer had a good aroma to it, sweet malt with a hint of lemon and spice. The taste of the beer was just as good, if not better, and exactly what I would think of for this style. Nice balance with just a slight edge to the malt and still with that hint of lemon. The beer had a light body to it. The beer was clean, crisp smooth and extremely easy to drink. I could drink this all of the time.

I've had this a few times now, updating from a 3.5 'Had' score.
500ml bottle pours to a pint glass a very light orange/dark yellow color. Decent retention and lace.
Lots of baked bread and pilsner-y malts with some grassy and earthy tones and light fruitiness as well. Decent strength, solid.
Taste follows suit nicely. Grains and toasted bread mostly with light sweetness, decent hop presence of grass, herbal, floral, light fruitiness. Really nothing for off-flavors which is nice for this type of lager.
Very full, nice malty mouthfeel, carbonation is maybe a bit low for the style but ample, nice crispness to it and some hop bitterness.
I think freshness is definitely key for this beer, I've had some 'meh' bottles and I've had great ones, this particular one falls in the latter category. Nice straight up lager that's stellar all around, definitely sessionable, the 500ml size is nice but I'd love to see this in 6-packs.

The "bottled on" space on the label is blank!
A: Clear, clean, golden-straw-yellow with a big, fluffy, pillowy, bright white head leaving behind a bit of lace and retention.
S: Lots of sweet and sugary malt with a hint of hops. Spot-on for the style!
T: So damn smooth, clean, crisp, and delicious! Everything I expected from this long-awaited drinking experience.
M: Carbonation is good. Body is great. Finish is superb.
O: Wish I had another bottle. This is seriously good stuff. I'm a huge fan of the style and this is up there with Schlenkerla. I could drink endless amounts of this delicious lager!

3.55/5 rDev -10.4%
500 ml bottle poured into pilsener glass.
A - Looks like a lager. Yellow with a somewhat thin head. I expect this beer wasn't exactly fresh, as there was very little carbonation, and the head dissipated very quickly.
S - A light amount of sweet malts, lager dankness, and a slight bit of hops. Spicy-ish hops, not fruity. Good smelling lager.
T - Kind of disappointed. This may be due to the beer not being too fresh, as it's among the top rated Munich Helles' here at BA. The slightly sweet malts are noted up front, along with a small amount of hops and yeast. The aftertaste is pleasant, and I notice a bit of black pepper. Most likely from spicy hops. Overall, not a bad tasting Helles, but I'm disappointed, as it's my favorite style, and I wasn't huge on this stuff. Similar to Weihenstephaner Original: rated highly, but I'm not a huge fan of.
F - Refreshing and crisp as a lager should be, but not refreshing in the way that my favorite Helles' make me want to take a long sip over and over do. I could certainly see drinking this on a hot day or on the golf course, though.
O - Not a bad beer, but I am disappointed. One of the best rated beers of this style (which happens to be my favorite), but nothing makes me want to purchase again. I would gladly try again if found somewhere cheaper (paid $5.49 for this 500 ml bottle - not worth it at all), but in the end, there are many better (and cheaper) Helles lagers. It's worth a try for lager fans.

In the Age of Revolution
Photographs from the Colburn Collection
May 27, 2010 through August 29, 2010
In the Age of Revolution presents photography of Mexico created by foreign photographers both before and after the time of the Mexican Revolution. The Mexican Revolution resulted in tremendous loss of life and brought great destruction to the communities throughout the country. While the time frame of the Revolution is traditionally conceived as 1910–1920, in many ways the age of revolution continued after 1920. For example, the fight for better land distribution, which was one of the catalysts of the Revolution, continues to this day. Moreover, from 1920–1945, a revolution in the arts occurred in Mexico with the implementation of a major mural program, the founding of a leading printmaking workshop, and an influx of foreign artists to the region. Each of the photographers included in this installation—Hugo Brehme, Abel Briquet, O.B. Hachenberger, and Sumner W. Matteson—worked during a time in which Mexico developed as a modern nation.
While these photographs represent an era in which Mexico experienced great historical, cultural, and political change, the majority of the works tend to document a more tranquil and picturesque environment. The focus on this type of subject matter by artists working in Mexico coincided with a renewed interest to portray the people and landscapes of the country as a part of a larger investigation into national identity.
The year 2010 marks the Bicentennial and Centennial anniversaries of the beginning of the independence movement in Mexico and the start of the Mexican Revolution. In conjunction with these landmark events, The San Diego Museum of Art is pleased to host this exhibition of photography.
This exhibition was curated by Amy Galpin, Project Curator for American Art

By Primus Mootry
For The Herald Bulletin
April is National Poetry Month. In previous articles, I have urged readers to write their own poems. Write about anything. Don't worry about rhyme. Leave that to Shakespeare. Everyone has poems to write and, for example, memories are always a good subject.
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of emceeing a program introducing my mother's newly published book of poetry, "My World."
The audience consisted mainly of her fellow Red Hatters, a social group for women over 50 (my mother just turned 89!). It was amazing to hear how audience members could so closely relate to the things my mother wrote about.
As to her book, it contains many poems about childhood life in the place of her birth, Crystal River, Fla.; the loss of my eldest sister, Maria; humorous real-life short stories; and even a few recipes for dishes her own mother prepared from time to time. All in all, it is a book of memories; memories as sweet to me as Granny's old recipe for Mulberry Doobie.
In light of last week's tragedy in Boston, however, here are two of her poems that are recipes for thought. The first is her tribute to President John F. Kennedy:
He walked with kings and queens
"American royalty," people said
Yet every time his thoughts, his hand
Reached out to touch the common man
He touched me, too
We shared so little, yet so much.
We shared God's World:
The sky, the air, the earth
And the waters of the earth
The seasons, and time, and life, and love
We also shared America.
The second poem is about my eldest sister, Maria, and her long, courageous battle with the monstrous cancer that finally won the battle.
During that long night of heartbreak, my mother, my three youngest sisters, and I would take turns staying a week or so with Maria at her home in Springfield, Ill.
In the "My World" poem titled "Railway Passengers Post 9/11," Mom wrote:
During a recent trip to Springfield, August 2005
We all drifted into a state of innocence
Somewhere between total unconsciousness and
Helpless inertia, only to be yanked periodically
Into quasi-wakefulness by the merciless
Tossing of the rail car. Each passenger with his
Own terror-driven question mark
Stamped on his forehead, sought the eyes of his
Fellow passengers. "Be alert," was the
Order of the day. Be suspicious of your
Brother/man at all times. Don't trust anybody.
Everyone is suspect.
No smiles. No laughter. Just a grim
Foreboding of what lay ahead
Ordinary living by ordinary people in our
Twenty-first century world.
These two poems made me wonder. Why is it that certain tragic events remain etched in public memory?
Those of us who are old enough, for example, remember exactly where we were when JFK was assassinated.
Most of us remember exactly where we were when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was slain;
We remember exactly where we were when those passenger jets slammed into the World Trade Center towers on 9/11.
Arguably, the same cannot be said of the catastrophic tornadoes that leveled the little town of Joplin, Mo., killed more than 150 people, and cost nearly $3 billion.
The same cannot be said of the unthinkable 2012 slaying of 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School; the Aurora, Colo., theater massacre; or the murderous 2011 attack on Congresswoman Gabby Giffords and her staffers.
The same cannot be said even of Hurricane Katrina. And where were you when last week's deadly fertilizer plant explosion in West Texas took place?
I have no idea what accounts for these apparent quirks, or lapses, in public memory. Perhaps it is a media problem. Maybe it is because some events, though greater in scope and scale, don't stick in our minds the same way. It could be that Americans are becoming de-sensitized to natural or man-made disasters.
I really don't know. What I suspect, though, is that we remember in different ways. I also know that many events, local, national, or international, affect us in direct, personal ways. We remember. Writing about and sharing such memories — feelings — is both illuminating and healing.
After all, to paraphrase a few lines from Mom's earlier shared poem, we share God's world — the sky, the air, the earth, and the water. We share the wary joy in the apprehension of the alleged Boston bombing suspects. But, most of all, we share America.
Have a nice day.

SMU certainly made sure that the second half was nervy, and it makes me very worried about the next two contests, let alone the Keg of Nails. On a couple different drives it looked like the Bearcats had finished the Mustangs off, but they kept responding in the fourth quarter in particular. Garrett Gilbert looked the part, as did their receivers.
There are warts with this team, that much is clear. The defense is far too willing to concede free yards for the sake of preventing big plays. When the offense has to run the Football they struggle to get it done. And there is a general lack of willingness and or ability to go for the throat when the opportunities are there. But 7-2 is, something that I would have accepted at this point back in August, however begrudgingly.

Icy weather leads to flight cancellations
The winter storm has already cancelled thousands of flights for tomorrow.
And that's creating a domino effect right here in Pensacola.
Channel Three's Jenise Fernandez explains from Pensacola International Airport.
Pensacola International Airport plans to continue operations as normal tomorrow. The problem is, airlines have the final say on whether or not they cancel flights.
Delta already cancelled most of their flights tomorrow, in anticipation for this winter storm.
The board, Tuesday night, showed many flight cancellations and delays, and this is only the beginning.
Delta, which operates out of Atlanta, has canceled more than 500 flights Tuesday, and is canceling more than 15-hundred flights Wednesday.
Right now, all Delta flights departing from Pensacola Wednesday, heading to Atlanta are canceled.
Carol Finn
"I'm feeling very relieved. Very relieved. Cause I know they're gonna make it."
Carol Finn and her husband are waiting for their grandchildren to arrive from Michigan.
Luckily, their flight path has them connecting in Nashville instead of Atlanta.
Besides a 20-minute delay, they're expected to arrive right before the winter weather sweeps in.
Finn is happy her grandchildren won't be stuck at an Airport, although the family had a back up plan.
"We have family in Nashville and if they would've flown out of Atlanta we have family there too. So it wouldn't have mattered."
The concourse was quiet Tuesday night as airlines started to cancel flights.
Robert Ramos is happy he made it to his final destination in Pensacola.
He was supposed to connect in Charlotte, but because so many flights were canceled, he ended up being re-routed to Miami.
Ramos and his fellow Marines are waiting for the rest of their class to arrive before reporting for duty, hoping they all make it before the storm.
"That's why there's so much confusion, because class just graduated and there's 200 people trying to travel here."
If you plan on flying out tomorrow, be sure to check with your airline to see your flight's status before coming to the airport.
Reporting live from Pensacola International Airport, Jenise Fernandez, Channel Three News.

When it comes to backpack safety, most people tend to think about injuries caused by a heavy backpack or one worn improperly. However, there are other dangers associated with backpacks and caution should be used.
SAVANNAH - Students attending Savannah Technical College's Liberty Campus have more options than ever in pursuing business career paths by enrolling in the management and supervisory development program. Students may earn an associate's degree, diploma or human resources specialist technical certificate of credit, which is also embedded in the degree.
Ezekiel B. Gaines of Richmond Hill has been named as one of 207 students who were selected for the Distinguished Achievement List for the 2010 summer term at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College by Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs Niles Reddick.
College students, from freshmen to graduate students, are gearing up for the start of a new school year. The colleges at the Army Education Center began the fall semester Monday. Classes start at Armstrong Atlantic State University's Liberty Center on Aug. 16. And many recent high school graduates are packing up and preparing to move away from home to attend classes.
A coalition representing more than 5,000 public virtual charter school students, parents, teachers and supporters from across Georgia charged the state's Charter School Commission with ignoring state law by refusing to create a funding formula based on sound research and actual costs of public virtual charter schools.
Applications are being accepted for before and after school programs, pre-school childcare and pre-kindergarten at area YMCA branches.
SAVANNAH - Early indicators suggest Savannah State University's enrollment for the 2010-11 academic year will exceed last fall's 3,800 enrolled students.
In Bryan County it's been a tradition of sorts to begin school on Friday.
The school year officially began today, but Bryan County Schools got off to a busy start on Monday and Tuedsay with open houses at each of the county's nine schools.
Georgia has been named one of 19 finalists for the second round of federal Race to the Top grants. If the state is named a recipient, it could be awarded up to $400 million over four years to implement the plan it submitted. Delaware and Tennessee were the final recipients of round one funding, in which 40 states and Washington, D.C., submitted applications. Georgia finished third.
This week marks the official start of the 2010-11 school year in Bryan County, and each school will be holding open houses in the days leading up to the sounding of the first bell Wednesday morning. Below are some dates and times worth mentioning again.
Army spouse and mother of three Brigitte Spence took advantage of the Education & Community Information Fair on Wednesday at Fort Stewart's Club Stewart.
Each grade level from both ends of the county supplied the curriculum resource teachers with a suggested supply list. The curriculum resource teachers compared and compiled a final list for each grade level:
For the first time in American history, schools are in for a massive demographic shift. This fall the overall number of Latino, African-American, Native and Asian students will outnumber non-Hispanic white students.
The Georgia Department of Education, along with its partners - The Ritz-Carlton Hotels of Georgia, the Georgia Association of Educators and the Georgia Foundation for Public Education - now is accepting applications for the 2015 Georgia Family-Friendly Partnership School Awards.
Gov. Nathan Deal on Monday recommended the State Board of Education amend state policy to allow computer programming courses to satisfy core requirements - math, science or foreign language - for receiving a high-school diploma. Deal is asking the Board of Regents of the University System to follow suit by accepting these courses for admission into institutions of higher education.
Bryan County Elementary School kicked off the 2014-2015 school year with a twist and a shout!

Name: Archarcharch. Possibly the only Derby contender with a typo for a name. Note: never name horses when you've had too much coffee.
Description: Robust and un-pedigreed? Call him the Michael Caine of the group so far, since he's steady, good for the distance, and despite the unspectacular bloodlines could place himself among the great nobility of his profession. He's an Arkansas Derby winner, has excellent closing ability when he's reined in, and probably could carry off a Cockney accent and thick-rimmed eyeglasses with aplomb. The stylish high-value blue-collar horse, if you will, of this Derby Field.
He also sounds, um, ready to party?
"He got here early enough that he got acclimated to the weather. By being here early I think it helps a lot. He just loves Churchill Downs. He feels ready to party; he's ready to dance to any kind of music. He can dance."
And a revision: we may have the Michael Caine of horses, or we may have the Andrew W.K. of horses, since he likes to party, dance, and will dance to any music. (He can't mean dubstep when he says "any music," though. This looks really unsafe for people, much less an animal with four knees to potentially break.)
The downside of being the party horse is that you might party too hard, flame out early, and then end up at home on the couch nursing some Alka-Seltzer and orange juice the next morning with a splitting headache. Archarcharch does tend to go a bit too fast on the backstretch, and could end up stuck in the pack at Churchill Downs if he's not kept in check, especially given the pattern of racing that's been successful in the Derby recently.
Likes: Partying. People who like to party. Party supplies, but not crepe paper, because when that stuff gets wet it sticks to things like nothing you've ever seen in your life. They should really make buildings out of it.
Dislikes: People who don't like to party, downers, haters, and bouncers. Always gotta have some beef with the triple Arch because he's on the Party Wagon, and they're just stuck on burros wishing they were bound for the same sweet spot on the Oregon Trail of Partying. Go take your Jack3d and let ol' Arch have his party in peace, hater.
Current Odds: 10/1 to win. 1/1 of PARTY, though, and if you can't do math that's like a billion percent certainty. (Horses can't do math.)
Celebrity Lookalike: Andrew W.K., if only in spirit.

Hello, I am a rookie in game development with J2ME for nokia phones and I ran into some problems with vibra and sound.
I tested BlockGame which comes with Nokia Developpers' Suite on 7650 and there is no vibra even though I enabled it in settings and sound is completely different than in emulator, mere clicks than sounds. Also, in series 60 emulator rms is functioning properly but not on actual device. Are differences between emulators and devices that great or am I missing something? Thanx.

Which Grains are Gluten-Free?
Five Interesting Gluten-Free Grains
Looking for interesting grains to try while eating gluten-free? These five grains offer potential for a variety of different dishes.
Is quinoa gluten-free?
Is quinoa gluten-free? Yes, pure quinoa is safe on the gluten-free diet, but not all products that contain quinoa are gluten-free. Here's what you need to know.
What You Should Know About Gluten-Free Flour Blends
For baking, gluten-free flour blends work better than a gluten-free flour made from a single grain. Commercial gluten-free flour blends are available, but many people prefer to buy the individual flours (you might need to order them by mail) and make their own mix. Here are 5 useful articles that explain how to blend and work with gluten-free flours, from About.com's Gluten-Free Cooking site.
Oats and the Gluten-Free Diet
Can patients with celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis eat oats? Most large celiac organizations and medical centers are advising that limited amounts of oats are probably safe.

Spelt is not gluten-free. It is a species of wheat and is not safe for people with celiac disease or anyone else on a gluten-free diet.
Gluten-Free Flours
Here's a place to start learning about alternatives to wheat. If you're looking for a side dish, think about trying buckwheat or quinoa or brown rice. If you're want to dredge your fish or chicken in flour before baking it, try flour from one of the crops listed below. If you're looking for a substitute for wheat flour, don't forget that you'll need to use a blend of several gluten-free flours.
Buckwheat Is Not Really Wheat, And Its Gluten-Free!
Despite its name, buckwheat is not wheat. Its gluten-free, and its safe for people with celiac disease. Buckwheat and wheat are from completely different botanical families. Buckwheat seeds are technically the fruit of the Fagopyrum esculentum plant.

6:00am Monday 10th February 2014 in Sport By Wendy Gee, Non-league football reporter
ASSISTANT boss Chris Farrell looked back on another eventful week at Blackfield & Langley and admitted the Waterside club have "a daily laugh" about the goings-on at Gang Warily.
Not only did the reigning Sydenhams Premier Division champions see coaches John McFarlane and Tom Barge depart for Romsey Town, they shattered Sholing's unbeaten start to the season and received a FOURTH notice of approach for sharpshooter Craig Feeney – this time from Lymington Town.
Prolific striker Alex Baldacchino has followed former boss Glenn Burnett to Sholing and Blackfield have put in seven days' notice of approach for midfielder Lewis Ross, who is dual-signed with neighbours Fawley AFC and Southern Premier outfit AFC Totton.
All that – plus the return of popular goalkeeping coach Reggie Palmer to the dugout after he had left the Watersiders two weeks earlier!
Farrell smiled: "We have a daily laugh about everything that goes on here, but beating Sholing (3-1) last Tuesday has given everyone a massive boost – on and off the pitch.
"The person I'm most pleased for is (player-manager) Kev Gibbens. When he took the job on, he must have thought 'what have I let myself in for?' but now he's beaten his old club Sholing when I should imagine 99 per cent of the football world thought we didn't have a prayer.
"It's good to have Reggie back too and we've approached a potential new coach who we hope to speak to next week.
"Team-wise we're after young, fit, mobile players, so if anyone fits the bill, give us a bell."
Blackfield's scheduled trip to Newport IoW on Saturday was postponed. They are due to return to action at Moneyfields tomorrow.

Daniel Goodman / Business Insider
One detail that stuck out to us was the list of longest working weeks in Europe that the report compiled. Two lists were compiled featuring the average working weeks for all of those employed, and another just for those in full time employment.
Interestingly, while the UK comes high in full time working, it doesn't feature so at all when we look at the top 20 longest working weeks for all of those employed — presumably because the country employs a larger proportion of part time workers.
(In fact, the difference between the two lists seems to suggest that part time labour could be a rich country problem — or that part time workers in poorer countries work longer hours.)
However there is one country that comes 1st and 2nd on both lists — and it's not a country renowned for hard work at the moment. Take a look at the list of longest work weeks (compared to their full time only working weeks) below.
(For reference, the EU average working week for all in employment is 37.4 hours)

Select Route:
This is a secluded area above and behind the Assembly Hall. It contains more moderate routes than other areas, but they tend to be shorter and of lesser quality. They also tend to be very sharp near the top. There is also moss and small bushes on some of the routes, and they can be quite slippery after a good rain or light misting. Beware of the loose rock around the major features like the Elephant Ear and the topout. As with nearly all other anchors at Guanziling, the top anchors can only be rapped or lowered from via "keychain" rings or aluminum carabiners. These should be considered suspect, and backed up with true rap rings or slings (or both) as soon as possible.
Getting There
From the Assembly Hall, continue northeast along the obvious trail, which quickly gets steeper. Once you reach the top of the short slope, you will see two distinct paths. One continues straight and goes around a boulder. This goes to Doucilin. To get to Mysterious Valley, turn left, keeping the walls of Assembly Hall on your left. Do NOT drop down towards the cave and water drainage, or you will have to do a slick boulder move to get back up. You will still have to do a muddy downclimb once you leave the cliff edge. Once you begin the downclimb, you will see some short walls jutting out of the jungle ahead of you.

Featured Route For Mysterious Valley
Start up a slabby section, with big holds to the right which will put you precariously close to climbers on the neighboring route. Direct start recommended. Continue through big holds, working up into the corner formed by the "ear" formation. Above this, the route tilts back and the holds get really sharp. The crux is reaching for the anchors and holding on long enough to clip 'em....[more] Browse More Classics in International

Reverend Baxter Morris has pastored First Baptist Church in Montgomery for 40 years. The church is right across the street from the police department. Reverend Morris says he's been through the civil rights era of violence and now this era of crime.
"Violent threats were always just a part of life around the church, so we developed a hazard plan for the church some years ago and have kept one updated periodically. We have people in the church who are set to take care almost any situation whether it be tornadoes or whether it be someone coming in the church with the intent to do harm," Reverend Morris said.
After a recent burglary at a nearby church, Reverend Morris says he and other pastors in the area felt a church safety and crime prevention training was a great need.
"Preparation is a part of what we are trying to do now with churches," Morris said.
"We want to have all the church pastors, the administrators who are over the finances of the church. We want to sit down with them and talk to them about what they can do to be safer. We want to look at their cash control, obviously churches take in a lot of money on offerings and we want to make sure they are securing them properly and they are depositing them properly," Corporal David Hicks said.
Police want to making sure your beacon of hope remains safe and members are prepared just in case.
The training is Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at First Baptist Church. That's on North Ripley right across the street from the police department.
Hicks says if you're not about to make the meeting Thursday evening, don't worry, officers can actually come to your church and help with security assessment and training for church staff.
You can call the police department for more information.

Ilkley Grammar School students in town hall visit
10:00am Saturday 25th January 2014 in News
Charlie Harrison is keen to ask a question with other pupils Arthur Ashcroft, Pedram Habibzadeh, Nathanael Perkins, Joe Higgett, Amber Medway and Amelia Milner
Citizenship groups from Ilkley Grammar School have been enjoying visits down to Ilkley Town Hall to experience political life.
The visit is part of the study of local government in citizenship and the experience is important for the Year 7 students to understand the process of local government. Alongside the tour of the council chambers, students were encouraged to debate the pros and cons of the Grand Depart and Tour de France and one lucky student on each visit was nominated to be chairman.
Year 7 pupil Felicity Rhodes said: "The visit to the Town Hall was educational and interesting. It was good to see what the room looked like, with the grand furniture and other things."
Fellow pupil Alex Squires added: "Our trip to the Town Hall inspired us to get involved in what happens during the Tour de France. I liked the fact that we were able to see what a real meeting in the chambers with the chairman looked like."
And Danny Leach said: "I really enjoyed my visit to the Town Hall, especially as I was the chair of the meeting. It was a great experience to lead the meeting, and not forgetting my chance to wear the chain!"
Councillor Mike Gibbons, chairman of Ilkley Parish Council, was delighted to see the students.
He said: "I was pleased to welcome the students from Ilkley Grammar School and was extremely impressed with their behaviour and the intelligence of their questions. It was fun to elect a temporary chair for a mock debate on the Grand Depart.
"I think the students also had fun and I look forward to welcoming the school for future visits."
Citizenship teacher Graeme Stonehouse organised the visits and said: "It is a chance for the students to experience the workings of local government and to ask questions of the parish councillors and to take part in a debate.
"Also, a big focus of the parish council at the moment, as I understand it, is looking at the Bradford Local Plan and getting community views on it, including the views of our younger people.
"I wonder if it has inspired any of our Year 7s to be our next generation of politicians!"

How to remove background from an image with Gimp?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Graphic Design Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for Graphic Design professionals, students, and enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.
There are several ways, like always, like in Adobe Photoshop or the like. One that comes to mind that used to work: use magic wand to select the background (and interior parts if you want them to go away) , do whilst shift pressed to add more areas, hit ctrl+i to invert selection, and without deselecting (so it gets placed in same area) hit ctrl+v. Then in layers window right click on that strange new layer created, and in the context menu that pops, select "new layer", it will be only the pixels you want and the rest is transparent. Now you'd delete the background layer (your original scan)

For the Daily News
Effingham used a strong start and stingy defense to hold off Mt. Vernon 42-36 Wednesday night in the opening round of the Salem Invitational Tournament.
The Flaming Hearts opened the game strong against the Rams and jumped to a 14-3 lead. Mt. Vernon never lead in the game but chipped away at the early deficit using outside shooting.
"That was a great start," Effingham coach Ron Reed said. "It's important because Mt. Vernon does such a great job of controlling tempo, and they get a lot of great shots. That was a big key tonight was us coming out."
Hunter Keith led Effingham with 12 points. Michael Feezer was perfect from the field for the Rams and led the team with 10 points.
"(We were) not ready to go is what it looked like, especially on the defensive end," Mt. Vernon coach Scott Gamber said. "Offensively we're fine we just didn't score. That happens. Defensively we were completely out of it to start the game. We gave up a lot of layups."
Down 21-9 midway through the second quarter, Trevor Flota and Braden Fitzjerrells shot Mt. Vernon back into the game. Flota knocked down a 3-pointer to slice the Effingham lead to 21-15.
After a Hunter Keith basket, Fitzjerrells hit back-to-back treys. The second turned into a four-point play after a Flaming Hearts foul. The baskets made the score 23-19.Effingham took a 25-19 advantage into halftime and held a 31-24 lead going into the fourth.Throughout the game the size and length of Effingham consistently bothered the Rams.
"They got the ball around the basket a lot," Gamber said. "But more so they did not let us get the ball anywhere we wanted to. They took away all of our stuff. They denied things. They did a really nice job of using their size to their advantage."
Mt. Vernon made another run in the final quarter, cutting the Effingham lead down to 35-30 after a Shakari Hawkins basket with five minutes left. Fitzjerrells helped Mt. Vernon creep closer with a layup to cut the deficit to three points.
But Effingham's Clark Williamson answered immediately on the other end with a score of his own with two minutes left. The Rams were forced to foul down the stretch to slow the clock, and the Flaming Hearts three of four free throws in the final minute.
Mt. Vernon is 9-8 this season and plays the loser of the Edwardsville-Mattoon matchup at 11:30 a.m. Saturday. Effingham faces the winner at 7 p.m. Friday.

While cell phones and text messaging can fill a caretaker in on small details, finding an effective means for relaying daily information makes the communication much easier for everyone. We looked at five popular methods for sharing information and want to know which works best for you? Source: Thinkstock Baby Log Notebook What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Put the pen to the paper with a baby log book. The most traditional method for communicating, preprinted notebooks include spaces for recording lil one's feedings, bowel movements, naps, and daily activities. Pros: Mama has a hard copy of her tot's daily routine and can refer back to it to determine trends. Log books can also be helpful when providing the doctor with updates on how junior is doing. Cons: Not the most environmentally friendly option, log books also can be the source of much tension if either mom or the nanny forgets to record information. They can also be misplaced, causing panic (or at least ill feelings) in those who rely on them.

Pros: Environmentally friendly, the boards don't waste paper and are more economical than most other options. Neither mom nor nanny can miss the recorded information if it's placed in a high-traffic area of the home. Cons: One wrong move and the day's information can be wiped away. A chalkboard only serves as a temporary place to record information, meaning there will not be a lasting record that can be referred to should there be a problem. Source: Thinkstock 2 / 6 Post-It Notes What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 They work in your office, so why not at home? Post-It notes allow mom to scribble notes as she thinks of them, rather than having to carry a large notebook around all day. Pros: Mama can carry a pad around in her tote, jotting down thoughts as they come to mind. They can be placed anywhere: the note reminding the nanny to take Junior's backpack to the playground can be placed on the door, and a reminder about lunch can be stuck on the fridge. Cons: Post-Its are great for little notes, but won't help in terms of keeping an ongoing journal about baby. Also, they tend to fall from their intended locations, meaning the recipient of the information may never see it.

Baby Connect ($5) keeps track of baby's feedings, diapers, growth, and more, even creating graphs to show her progress. Best of all, the information can be exported to email for sharing and printing. Pros: This app is truly the most comprehensive way to log a child's daily activities, and the trending graphs are a great way to see progress. The ability to share information also makes it easy for multiple caregivers to communicate about the day. Cons: Both mom and nanny have to have an iPhone or handheld email capability to use the app to its fullest potential, though one could record it on the app, with the other filling in the rest on a printout. Source: Thinkstock 4 / 6 Texting What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For those that don't worry about a paper trail, good, old-fashioned texting can keep both parties in the loop. Some mamas have their tots' caretakers text them each time the lil one poops, burps, and turns over! Pros: Instant information at mama's fingertips. Cons: Frequent interruptions throughout mama's work day, as well as a lack of paper trail, may make this option more trouble than it's worth.
