The Alabama State Bar was created in 1923. See the 1975 Ala. Code, §§ 34-3-1 to 34-3-89.
The Alabama State Bar has jurisdiction over the conduct of all attorneys and is
charged with stimulating interest in improving the administration of justice.
Its Board of Commissioners provides for the examinination of applicants who seek
to practice law. The Alabama State Bar is the licensing and regulatory agency
for attorneys in the State of Alabama, subject to Rules of the Alabama Supreme
Composition. The affairs of the Alabama State Bar are administered by a
Board of Commissioners which is composed of at least one elected representative
from each judicial circuit in Alabama. One additional Commissioner is elected
for each 300 members of the State Bar in a circuit who maintain their
principal office in the circuit as of March of each year, subject to the
requirement that no circuit is entitled to more than ten Commissioners. For
purposes of electing Commissioners, the Tenth Judicial Circuit excludes the
portion of the circuit known as the "Bessemer Cut-Off," which is treated as a
separate circuit. The President and President-elect of the Alabama State Bar are
ex officio President and President-elect of the Board of Bar
Commissioners. The President-elect is elected annually by secret ballot
delivered or mailed to the State Bar headquarters at a date designated by the
Board of Bar Commissioners. The President-elect succeeds to the Presidency at
the end of the annual meeting at which the term of the President expires. Annual
Meetings of the Board of Commissioners are held following the annual meetings of
the State Bar, at which time a Vice President is elected by the board from its
current membership. Special meetings may be called by the President.
Commissioners serve three-year terms of office, subject to the requirement that
no person may serve more than three consecutive terms. The Board of
Commissioners may delegate such power as it deems appropriate to an executive
council composed of the President, President-elect, Vice President, Immediate
Past-president, and three Commissioners elected by the Board of Bar
Commissioners. Commissioners receive no compensation other than expenses as
provided by law. No quorum is specified by law except in the case of
disciplinary proceedings, where a majority of Commissioners constitutes a
Duties. The Board of Bar Commissioners adopts policies pertaining to
the operation of the Alabama State Bar. Pursuant to legislative authority, with
approval of the Supreme Court, it prescribes rules concerning admission to the
Bar. In addition, subject to the approval of the Alabama Supreme Court, the
Board adopts rules for the conduct of members of the State Bar. It has the power
to enforce these rules by disciplinary proceedings, including reprimand,
suspension, or disbarment. The Alabama State Bar publishes a journal. The
Alabama Lawyer, bulletins and other items to improve the educational and
ethical standards of the bench and bar. It makes studies and recommendations
concerning substantive and procedural law and performs other functions
pertaining to the practice of law.
The Board of Commissioners provides for a Board of Bar Examiners to examine
persons wishing to be admitted to the State Bar. The Board of Commisioners
prescribes the regulations governing the selection, number, tenure,
compensation, and authority of the examiners, subject to the approval of the
Supreme Court. It may also make rules concerning bar examinations.
The Alabama State Bar has a full-time staff consisting of a
Secretary/Executive-Director, General Counsel, administrative and clerical
personnel. The Bar oversees and supports a Mandatory Continuing Legal Education
Program as well as other programs for the members of the Alabama State Bar. The
Bar also maintains a separate office, which is operated under aegis of the State
Bar's Disciplinary Commission and works with the General Counsel.
All practicing attorneys pay an annual license fee, which goes into a
special trust fund. From this trust fund the Legislature makes an appropriation
for the use of the Alabama State Bar.

Hi all
Apologies if this is in the wrong forum or has been logged elsewhere.
I'm running a recent version of OpenElec with TV Headend and a PCTV 290e DVB-T2 tuner for Live TV. In the UK we use AAC audio for HD DVB-T2 broadcasts, and the format will switch between 2.0 and 5.1 (or 5.0 or 4.1?) on a show-by-show basis.
If recordings made with TV Headend (MKV format) have a format change during the recording, XBMC doesn't recognise the change in format, and you get silence after the format change it seems.
Is this a limitation of XBMC or the MKV wrapper? I will try switching to .TS as the recording format to try (but not sure how much 5.1 content there is on a Sunday to watch for the format change.)
Problem with AAC audio when format changes

Can't be bothered to dig up the link but there's a long thread on tvheadend's bug tracker about this. The problem is the MKV container and switching to TS should do the trick.

Cheers - though that might be the case. I guess MKV wrappers, understandably for most situations, expect a track to remain in a fixed format.

At JELD-WEN Field on Saturday night defense was optional, but fun was guaranteed. The Portland Timbers and LA Galaxy played an absolutely thrilling match and combined for eight goals, sometimes with the help of poor defense, in front of a vocal and enthusiastic Timbers crowd. That crowd didn't leave happy, though. That is due in large part to the Designated Player trio of David Beckham, Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane, who played exceptionally and led the Galaxy to a 5-3 win in hostile territory.
The Timbers were actually the ones who got off to a dream start. Kalif Alhassan was given far too much time on the right to cross and he found Kris Boyd at the near post. The Scot finished coolly and just three minutes into the match the home team was in front.
But LA stormed back in a big way with four goals in nine minutes. First, Beckham lined up a shot from 30 yards and hit an absolute rocket into the upper corner for a stunning equalizer. He followed that up with a brilliant free kick from 20 yards that got over the wall and just squeezed inside the post for his second great goal and the Galaxy lead.
The Galaxy still weren't done. Kosuke Kimura got caught napping and ended up behind Michael Stephens. Kimura then ran through Stephens, giving away the penalty that Donovan would convert to make it 3-1. Keane then ended the Galaxy's furious rally after Donovan raced down the right and delivered a perfect cross that the Irishman just had to tap in for the three-goal lead.
Amazingly, all of that craziness came before 30 minutes had even passed. Kimura did his best to make up for giving away the penalty when he was able to knock home a rebound given away by Josh Saunders, who couldn't hold a Boyd free kick. The Timbers were still down 4-2, but that didn't look insurmountable at halftime.
The Timbers' hopes of getting back in the match were wiped out just after the break, though, and Beckham and Keane were involved yet again. Beckham started the play with a gorgeous one-touch ball over the top right into the path of Sean Franklin, who had a great match. Franklin ran free down the right before spotting Keane in the middle. A simple low cross found Keane, who knocked it home with one touch and with a 5-2 lead it was over.
One more by Boyd made the scoreline look better, but Portland was simply outgunned by LA's big guns on Saturday night. Not even a raucous big crowd could bring them back, as the Galaxy put four points between them and the Rapids for the final playoff spot in one heck of an entertaining match.

SIMCOE COUNTY — Parents of Simcoe County elementary school students can be excused if they are a little confused by the 'strike, no-strike' media releases issued Friday afternoon.
The social media universe was a-twitter for about 30 minutes after a media release was issued by the Simcoe County District School Board stating the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario (EFTO) had informed them that a one-day strike had been called for Tuesday, Dec. 11.
Shortly after 3 p.m., a second media notice was dispatched by the school board saying they had been informed by EFTO there would not be a strike on Tuesday.
Debbie Clarke, director of communications for the SCDSB told simcoe.com Friday afternoon that, "The Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario incorrectly informed the Simcoe County District School Board of a strike date. When that date was publicized, the union stated they would not be calling for a strike that day. As a result, the board had to quickly provide updated information that all schools would be open."
Simcoe.com also contacted EFTO headquarters in Toronto for clarification. Communications officer Valerie Dugale was asked, "Did a 72-hour notice go out to the SCDSB and then was rescinded?"
Her response was, "No."
Earlier on Friday, a letter by director of education Kathryn Wallace addressed to parents and guardians, stated the board would be closing all elementary schools on Dec. 11 because of the announced strike action.
"We sincerely apologize for the interruption to student achievement on this day organized by the teachers' union," Wallace said. "Under section 19 (2) of the Education Act, schools may be closed when strike action interferes with the operation of the school and the safety of pupils may be endangered (due to lack of supervision)."
Some of those letters were handed out to students, but were then collected by teachers before the students left for the day.
Some of those letters may have unintentionally made their way home with students.
Clarke added that labour situation updates would continue to be posted at www.scdsb.on.ca

COVINGTON - A 13-year-old girl has been charged with aggravated assault after she allegedly took a swing at a fellow teen with a knife following a fight at a bus stop earlier this month.According to Lt. Mark Mitchell, spokesman for the Newton County Sheriff's Office, the suspect, along with another 13-year-old girl, became involved in an altercation at a bus stop on Autumn Court just before 4:30 p.m. Feb. 15. "When the fight was assumed to be over, (the suspect) went back to a residence and obtained a kitchen knife," he said. "She came back in front of the girl she was in the fight with and took a swing at her with the knife." The victim was not struck, however, and no serious injuries were reported from the scuffle. After obtaining several witness statements, authorities filed a juvenile complaint against the suspect, charging her with aggravated assault. Both girls were also charged with affray, which is defined under state law as "fighting by two or more persons in some public place to the disturbance of the public tranquility." The names of both teens are being withheld due to their status as juveniles. According to Mitchell, both girls were released to the custody of their parents or guardians. Sherri Viniard, spokeswoman for the Newton County School System, said that unless a bus driver witnessed the incident, it would not be reported to the principal of the school where they attend classes. "The transportation department has not been informed of this incident," she said. Joel Griffin can be reached at email@example.com

City Attorney throws a monkey wrench into parking-space auction app
An iPhone app that lets users auction off their parking spots might sound like a novel idea, especially in a parking-deprived city like San Francisco. Unfortunately for Paolo Dobrowolny, co-founder and CEO of the MonkeyParking app that does exactly that, the practice is also illegal.
The app violates a key provision of San Francisco's Police Code, which states that drivers who "enter into a lease, rental agreements or contract of any kind" for public parking spots can face penalties of up to $300, according to City Attorney Dennis Herrera, who has issued a cease-and-desist demand against MonkeyParking.
"Technology has given rise to many laudable innovations in how we live and work – and Monkey Parking is not one of them," Herrera said in a statement. "It's illegal, it puts drivers on the hook for $300 fines, and it creates a predatory private market for public parking spaces that San Franciscans will not tolerate."
That's not how Dobrowolny sees it. Though he's still working with his legal team to address Herrera's concerns, the MonkeyParking CEO said he fundamentally disagrees with Herrera's stance.
"As a general principle we believe that a new company providing value to people should be regulated and not banned," Dobrowolny wrote in an email. "Regulation is fundamental in driving innovation, while banning is just stopping it."
Herrera imposed a July 11 deadline to cease operations in his letter to MonkeyParking, but the app may not even last that long. By violating San Francisco's Police Code, it's already landed in hot water when it comes to Apple's guidelines for app developers, which state: "Apps must comply with all legal requirements in any location where they are made available to users." Herrera copied Apple's legal department onto the letter, so there's a possibility MonkeyParking could be removed as a result.
The use of parking apps like MonkeyParking also brings up the potentially dangerous matter of cell phone use within a moving vehicle, an issue that wasn't lost on Herrera. In his letter to Dobrowolny, Herrera wrote that MonkeyParking is "facilitating and encouraging drivers to use cellphones and other wireless communication devices in a manner that distracts them, posing a safety hazard to the public and violating state laws that prohibit using cellphones and such other devices while driving."
But since the app already appears to be in violation of the local police code and the App Store guidelines, this is simply icing on the cake.
"Worst of all, [MonkeyParking] encourages drivers to use their mobile devices unsafely – to engage in online bidding wars while driving," Herrera said. "People are free to rent out their own private driveways and garage spaces should they choose to do so. But we will not abide businesses that hold hostage on-street public parking spots for their own private profit."
MonkeyParking isn't alone in its apparent violation of city rules. Sweetch and ParkModo are two other iPhone apps that provide allegedly illegal monetization of parking spots in the city, and Herrera's office is cracking down on them as well.
Sweetch is similar to MonkeyParking, though it charges a flat fee of $5 per parking spot instead of the bidding system. ParkModo, which has yet to officially launch, will reportedly employ drivers for $13 an hour to occupy public parking spots in the Mission, according to Herrera's statement.
The city keeps trying to micro-manage the sharing economy but keeps failing dismally. Unless the people support the city (and polls indicate by 70-30, they do not) then this petty attempt at micro-management will fail.
The mistake the city is making here is claiming that i am selling their property. i am not. What i am selling is the convenience of replacing my occupation of that property.
That's a subtle difference but an important one. I will continue to use this application, and will no more worry about it than I worry about Airbnb'ing my homes.
i doubt you know what you're talking about.
Didn't think so.
It is selling information about parking spaces
then they could kill off most of the demand for these apps pretty effectively just by making that information freely available.
still occupying that space, and so the sensors would reveal nothing
Crack down on the grifting economy.

ason Grant Garza here .. WOW the city attorney in all his GLORY ... is issuing this cease and desist ... WHY NOT Airbnd ( you know the illegal rentals) that HAVE being going on for YEARS? Is it ONLY some LAWS that get ENFORCED? Or maybe even Medical LAW ... go to youtube and type in Jason Garza to see over 400 videos in regard to DENIED Medical Care, NO LAW ENFORCEMENT and NO HUMANITY. From youtube about section:
"Watch OVER a year of VIDEOS regarding denied MEDICAL CARE ... Having fallen through "Alice's looking glass" (Lewis Carroll) into a WORLD which is opposite of what it should be and my attempts at MEDICAL CARE, Medical Law Enforcement, Legal Right Protection, ADA and Disability Rights, Human Rights, Civil Rights and Constitutional Rights. See the RESULTS of going to the PROFESSIONALS. LAW ENFORCEMENT, Agencies in charge of ENFORCEMENT ... ALL which provide NO ACCOUNTING, NO FOLLOWUP, NO CORRECTION and NO HOPE. "In a time of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act" G. Orwell
How can this happen ... think BOY SCOUTS, ALTAR BOYS, WEAPONS of MASS DESTRUCTION, etc when the "FIX" is in and ALL complicit players engage. Check out http://www.sfbg.com/2007/06/27/crazy or http://myownprivateguantanamo.com/settle1.html (Signed Confession - Case C02-3485PJH Paperwork)"
SO KEEP DRINKING the KOOL-AID if you believe that this is in your BEST interests .. what is it TIME for the City Attorney to run for something else? Again ... why NO cease and desist against AirBnd? Learn the GAMES.
It's worth noting that the city attorney isn't the one who gets to declare something illegal. That's the court's job. The city attorney can file a lawsuit, but it's the court who decides.
(Which does not stop Dennis Herrera from vigorously seeking the spotlight while the case is happening)
so this statement is a bluff, kinda like the tax collector claiming that Airbnb rentals are taxable like hotels. They're entitled to their opinion, but a court decides.
The defense here is obvious. I am not selling a public parking space. I am selling the information that it is about to become available.
name to circle jerks.
Courts don't rule things until cases have been brought to them. Obviously Herrera would be remiss if he didn't bring this case--and if he does in this case it still doesn't establish that he's the best CA that San Francisco could hope for.
I recall living in North Beach in the early '80s there was a parking outfit that had a small lot basically across from the police station. I think it was $15 to park on a Friday or Saturday night--when parking was unobtainable in the neighborhood.
The parking jockies would right away start trying to park the cars on the street and once they had taken spots over they would then shuffle cars in and out of said spots without it ever returning them to general availablity. The small lot was probably no more than 15% of the space they had to sell.
Same dealio here. It's a mechanism to have stuff go to the highest bidder--and for someone to make a nice piece of coin in the process--rather than have it be fair to everone regardless of inflated wealth or income.
He is merely expressing the opinion that the city can write tickets to drivers for this.
I doubt the city will ever catch a driver doing this as there are no outward indications that this app is being used. But it will only become a "case" when someone like me refuses to pay the ticket and the city tries to press collection.
Then the matter gets resolved. But the sale of information about public assets is distinct from the sale of those assets themselves.
The City Attorney's job is to give legal opinions to city government; like when he opined uniquely that the ethics code could pertain to a non-felony that an elected official had done while not in office and allow the mayor to negate the outcome of an election. In this case the CA opined that it is illegal to sell public property. If you believe that not to be the case, I have a nice orange bridge with great views to sell you.
He has often advised the city, and then the city was sued and lost.
Likewise, he advises the city to pass a law in a certain way, and then the courts bounce that law.
He is the lawyer for the city, and so of course he is going to advocate that the city can do this and that. But its not his decision ultimately.
Again, this is not the selling of public property. It is the selling of information about public property. You evidently do not get the distinction.
City Attorney advice to legislators is different than the City Attorney opinion on existing law.
As here.
I don't know exactly what his analysis is, but my understanding is that those selling the parking spaces are holding them until the buyers show up. The act of holding them after "selling the information about them" means that they are selling the spots. If they are sitting in their car waving-off people who inquire whether they are leaving, and then immediately leave once the person who they have "sold this information" to about the parking spot shows up, that establishes that they are selling public property. It's really so painfully simple even a troll could get it.
(meter limits aside) in any event. Another driver may assume that i am going to leave just because I am sitting in the car, but I might be having a smoke, or making a phone call or listening to the radio or whatever.
So the issue isn't that I am not leaving a space. In fact, I am often waved on when I see someone who I think is going to leave. I control when I leave and therefore who gets my space anyway.
So the real issue here is whether I am entitled to see the information that I will be leaving in exactly five minutes. I believe that I am, and Herrera is just doing what he is paid to do - advocate for one side of the issue.
I don't know whether Herrera is right or wrong here. I bet the law wasn't written with this in mind. I was just pointing out the misleading article, which says that this app was declared illegal by Herrera.
(Herrera is obviously playing this up for the free publicity. If I were the company, I'd do the same. I'd hold a big press conference about how great it is. The news coverage of that event would be great free advertising for the company.)
so this isn't like the city trying to pressure airbnb, that coincidentally is based in SF.
The city can do nothing about a foreign-domiciled website. In fact, even the federal government cannot, hence their losing battle against online poker sites.
This isn't like online poker. There are plenty of ways it could get shut down.
For instance, it the app is ruled illegal in a US court, I would wager that Apple would pull it from the Apple store.
(I'm not saying it will or it won't. I don't know. My original post was only about how we learn about the three branches of government in the third grade and apparently forget about them in journalism school.)
The app works in any city anywhere in the world.
So it's not a matter of closing down the app but rather how to police its use in SF. And that is what I am saying is going to be very, very difficult in practice.
"no outward indications that the app is being used .... " ... um, no, actually identifying people doing this is like shooting fish in a barrel. Think about decoy police officers posing as hookers and arresting the customers. Same thing here - you offer your space via MonkeyParking, and the 'winning bidder' is a cop ... how do you deny using the app ?
They will probably set up a special elite squad just for people who are selling information about parking spaces about to be vacant.
In your dreams
Jason Grant Garza here ... let us be HONEST about the city attorney's office. In 2003 ( who was the city attorney at the TIME ) had my case C02-3485PJH dismissed with fraud and testilying and in 2007 the CITY signed a Settlement/Confession with the Office of Inspector General admitting fault and guilt for breaking FEDERAL EMERGENCY LAW (case C02-3485PJH) http://myownprivateguantanamo.com/settle1.html
It is 2014 and NO ONE from the courts, DPH, SFPD, Sheriff nor City Attorney's Office (is it the SAME one?) have explained. Here is just a little more TRUTH to sprinkle the cake with .. the TRUTH will out. By the way ... is this the same city attorney's office that would NOT prosecute DPH for the FALSE BOGUS restraining order that was used against me? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cP3jCmJFRo&list=TLxqkGEFTEDJGc3ELEJjz3w... ... P.S. I am still awaiting EXPLANATION from the city attorney's office since the CITY admitted to a CRIME and I am the VICTIM still following up. Again let us be HONEST about the City Attorney's Office and its role.

Derry News
---- — LONDONDERRY — In the past when heavy rainstorms rolled into town, some residents had to resort to boating through their neighborhood.
For decades, flooding has affected residents living near Beaver Brook; inches of water poured into basements located all over Gilcreast Road and Brookview Drive.
But residents may now have a chance to dry out as the Army Corps of Engineers hopes to stop the water spilling out of Beaver Brook and Little Cohas Brook.
Engineers and and officials last visited in March to examine both brooks and their tributaries.
Town officials have been working with the Army Corps of Engineers since 2010, when the Town Council unanimously voted to accept FEMA funds and help from the Corps.
Since then, Corps engineers have been conducting studies and devising ways to divert the brooks when they do overflow, and outline the areas most susceptible to flooding.
The Corps will present its findings to town officials and make a recommendation. It will be up to the Town Council to decide what to do about flood plain management.
"We have found flooding seems to start near Rockingham and Mammoth Roads, and pushes through into other tributaries and neighborhoods," said Robert Russo, New England project manager for the Army Corps.
Additional storm drains and box culverts have been considered to help divert the brook away from residential areas. However, one solution may lead to more problems in the future.
Although the areas near Stokes and Rockingham Roads prove ideal for box culverts and storm drains, diverting a brook one way or another may flood wooded areas and marshlands, Russo said.
"The goal of the project is to remove the possibility of flooded areas while minimizing the affects of redirection," hydraulic engineer Patrick Blumeris said.
Corps members will continue meeting this month to discuss the best way of dealing with the brooks, and are expected to meet with the Town Council in October.

University Board ratifies collective agreement with QUFA
The new agreement between the university and the Queen's University Faculty Association (QUFA) is now official, with the Queen's Board of Trustees voting to ratify the agreement earlier today.
Members of QUFA ratified the agreement in a three-day vote late last week.
"I want to thank QUFA members and the Queen's Board of Trustees for approving this new agreement," says Queen's Principal Daniel Woolf. "I look forward to working with the broader Queen's community over the coming months as we refocus on what we all care about most: ensuring we live up to Queen's reputation as a premier institution of higher learning."
The term of the agreement is four years; it expires on April 30, 2015.
Highlights include:
• Across-the-board, annual wage increases of 1.25%, 1.5%, 1.5%, and 2.5%;
• Continuation of Progression-through-the-ranks (PTR) provisions;
• Gradual increases to members' pension contributions, with no reduction of the defined benefit formula:
-- on salary up to the year's maximum pensionable earnings ceiling (YMPE, currently $48,300), the contribution rate will rise from the current level of 4.5%, reaching 7.0% of salary by January 1, 2014;
-- on salary above the YMPE, the employee contribution rate will rise from the current level of 6.0%, reaching 9.0% of salary by January 1, 2014. In addition, as of January 1, 2012, the employer's contribution rate on salary above the YMPE will rise from 7% to 7.5%.
Negotiations between QUFA and the university began in January of this year. Bargaining took place over 29 days, with an additional six days of conciliation and four days of mediation.
QUFA represents approximately 1,350 university faculty, librarians and archivists.
Six collective agreements have been successfully negotiated at Queen's this year.
Earlier this month, the university and the campus' three local of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) ratified new contracts.
In June, the university and the Ontario Nurses Association ratified a first contract for the nurses in Queen's Family Health Team, and in May, the university and the Public Service Alliance of Canada approved a first contract for graduate teaching assistants and teaching fellows.

CATEGORIES MoviesPaul Thomas Anderson fans finally have something to discuss other than rumors regarding the director's upcoming film, "The Master."
Up until this point, the only information about the movie was that it was loosely tied to a Scientology-like religion. According to the official synopsis, "The Master" stars Philip Seymour Hoffman as "a charismatic intellectual [who] launches a faith-based organization and taps a young drifter (Joaquin Phoenix) as his right-hand man. But as the faith begins to gain a fervent following, the onetime vagabond finds himself questioning the belief system he has embraced, and his mentor."
The first teaser, which just debuted over on the film's site, features Phoenix as the aforementioned drifter Freddie Quell, being interviewed by a military officer about his current state of mind and violent episodes he's had in the past. (Just a guess, but maybe this interview is taking place after Phoenix's character begins "questioning the belieft system"?)
You can watch the teaser above.
"The Master," which stars Hoffman, Phoenix and Amy Adams, hits theaters October 12.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--The nomination of Les Puryear, senior pastor of Lewisville (N.C.) Baptist Church, for president of the Southern Baptist Convention was announced May 12 by Dwight McKissic, senior pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Arlington, Texas.
Puryear is one of six candidates Southern Baptist messengers will consider. Baptist Press asked each candidate to participate in a survey of mostly standardized questions, but the questionnaire included at least one query individualized for each candidate.
Puryear's answers to the questions posed by Baptist Press follow:
1) What has God done in your life and ministry to prepare you to be president of the Southern Baptist Convention?
I have pastored for 11 years and worked in the business world for 25 years. I believe I have a unique combination of a solid theological foundation with a practical business approach to getting things done. Also, God has given me a passion for encouraging leaders of small churches. Since small churches comprise the overwhelming majority of our convention, I think it's time that more small church leaders were involved in convention leadership on a national level.
2) If you are elected, what would be your priority message for Southern Baptists?
My priority message for Southern Baptists is that we need to get out of our church buildings and get into our communities and beyond, to engage the lost with the good news of Jesus Christ.
3) What do you believe is needed to see churches more effectively bringing people to Christ and making disciples?
Our churches should strive to be more intentional about being missional to reach the lost for Jesus Christ. The IMB reports over 600,000 baptisms in 2007, while we report less than 400,000 in the USA. Perhaps it's time for our churches to take more of a missionary approach to reaching our communities for Christ.
4) Decline/plateau in membership, baptisms: What do you think the future holds for the SBC?
If we, as a convention, repent of our apathy for evangelism and missions, then I believe our future is very bright. It's time for every SBC church to get serious about doing evangelism and missions, not just talk about it.
5) Regenerate church membership: To what extent do you see regenerate church membership as a significant concern in the Southern Baptist Convention?
Regenerate membership should be a huge concern for every church. If we are adding members to our churches who have not been regenerated, that is, born again, then we have a real problem. As I see it, one of the foundational assumptions of a congregational polity is that the congregation is being led by the Holy Spirit. Unregenerate members do not have the leading of the Holy Spirit, therefore they can only view issues through a fleshly perspective. Ultimately, I believe an unregenerate membership leads to strife and division in the church. I thank God that Tom Ascol has been working diligently to bring this issue to our attention for the past two years.
6) Calvinism: Do you see any reason for non-Calvinist Southern Baptists to be concerned about a renewed emphasis on Calvinism in some Southern Baptist churches and seminaries?
Since I am a Calvinist, I don't see why any non-Calvinist should be concerned about the reappearance of Reformed theology. Many of the original leaders of the SBC were Calvinists. I think those who fear Calvinism have an unfounded view that Calvinism leads to a reduced emphasis on evangelism and missions. What some are calling Calvinism is actually hyper-Calvinism. Hyper-Calvinism says that we should not evangelize or preach the Gospel to the non-elect. I do not know of any Calvinist in the SBC who holds to that position. We are called to preach the Gospel to everyone and most Calvinists whom I know in the SBC are very passionate about evangelism and missions. I think rather than worrying about Calvinism impacting evangelism and missions, we need to find out why 51.5 percent of our churches do not support missions either financially or through prayer support. The problem in our convention with evangelism and missions is not Calvinism, but the apathy of our churches to engage the lost with the good news of Jesus Christ.
7) The IMB trustee guidelines governing baptism and private prayer language in appointing missionaries: Do you think their action was needed and appropriate?
I do not agree with the implementation of these policies. The SBC as a whole has not stated a position on these doctrines, therefore I view these as non-essential doctrines and as such, should not be used as doctrinal policy for any SBC board or agency.
8) The role of the Baptist Faith and Message: What do you see as the proper role of the Baptist Faith and Message when it comes to governing SBC entities and employees?
I am on record as supporting the Garner Motion from last year's convention, which called on the trustees to abide by the wishes of the Executive Committee which stated that the Baptist Faith and Message 2000 is a sufficient guide for establishment of doctrinal policy. The Baptist Faith and Message 2000 is a consensus statement of the essentials of what Southern Baptists believe. I do not think that any SBC board or agency should make doctrinal policies which have not been addressed by the convention as a whole.
9) You wrote on your blog that you felt like you were somewhere between Baptist and Presbyterian. What did you mean by that?
I hold to a Reformed position regarding soteriology [the doctrine of salvation]. I also believe in a regenerate membership and the use of church discipline. Until very recently, these have not been the majority views of most SBC churches. These positions have been more indicative of Presbyterian churches. However, I also affirm the Baptist Faith and Message 2000 without any caveats. Therefore, I hold to the essential beliefs of Southern Baptists and to some which are more Presbyterian in nature. That is what I meant by that comment. I am happy to say that I see more and more Southern Baptists joining me in these views, so I am encouraged to see this movement in the SBC.
Compiled by Baptist Press assistant editor Mark Kelly.

The Automatic Identification System receiver on tournament pro Capt. George Mitchell's Snake Dancer came at his sponsor Furuno's request for a temporary installation of the FA30 for boat-show demos. But after that he wouldn't give it back. "I won't fish without it," says Mitchell.
So how does a device designed to track freighter and commercial traffic benefit recreational fishermen? Anglers need three things after they are tackled up: skill, luck and information - and in many cases, good information makes up for a lack of the other two.
AIS allows Mitchell access to a large reservoir of information. For tournament anglers hitting unfamiliar waters with a hope of finishing in the money or for weekenders hoping to leave the office on Friday and fill the fish box before Sunday night, AIS can open wide that limited window of opportunity.
Here's how it works: AIS picks up a VHF signal from a ship's transmitter and displays, on the receiving boat's plotter screen, an icon and a data panel showing, among other things, the transmitting ship's name, size, course, speed and Maritime Mobile Service Identity number, which is its "phone number" on VHF and allows anyone to call it directly. While it may not do an angler any good to know the M/VFree Spool sailing under the flag of Singapore, is carrying a load of coal to Newcastle at 12 knots, that information does offer inroads to valuable information.
Get Connected
"The MMSI number and name allow you to call a vessel directly and address it by name. That gives you instant credibility," says Mitchell. "If you get on the radio and say, 'Anyone in the anchorage?' no one is going to answer you. If I say, 'Freighter Magic Fingers, this is recreational boat Snake Dancer approaching on the starboard bow; we'd like to catch bait off your anchor chain,' they'll talk to me."
Once you have properly opened the lines of communication, the information begins to flow. For instance, you can find out how long they have been at anchor, which can be useful. "Let's say I'm in Port Everglades, [Florida,]" says Mitchell. "If they have been anchored there for two days, I know I'll find blue runners under the ship. After three days, I've got goggle-eyes early in the morning. After five days, I'm thinking cobia, king mackerel and a lot of other stuff."
You can coordinate this information with your seasonal knowledge, Mitchell says: "On the full moon in August in Port Everglades, I know if I find goggle-eyes on a ship, I can catch them, cut them in half and drop them back down on the bottom, and I'll be getting big mangrove snapper."

I think it needs a little less onion for our tastes. This dish did not keep or age well, so only make what your family will eat in one meal.

I didn't have any plain yogurt on hand so i used all sour cream. I also used regular onions but didn't put the full amount in. It was delicious!

Debbie Blank The Herald-Tribune
The Batesville Herald-Tribune
---- — The possibility of randomly drug testing Batesville Community School Corp. students who participate in extracurricular activities or drive to school was discussed at the Sept. 9 Coalition for a Drug-Free Batesville meeting after BCSC trustees explored the topic Aug. 19.
Superintendent and CDFB member Dr. Jim Roberts observed, "The question is 'What is best for kids?'" Some opponents believe testing would be a violation of privacy rights. "The Fourth Amendment conversation will be one that will always exist." Roberts also wondered whether testing is an effective deterrent.
He reported, "Since that (school board) meeting, I've compiled a long list of questions … about 40" as he and other officials do more drug testing research. The superintendent will send out a survey to 25 area school districts to gain input on what they are doing to curb illegal drug use.
"I have not gotten a good handle on costs yet," according to Roberts. If trustees do institute a policy in the future, he pointed out they would have to decide what drugs to test for, how frequently and how many students would be randomly selected for testing.
Amanda Conn Starner, Coalition for a Drug-Free Greater Cincinnati employee, asked, "What happens if they do test positive?" Roberts answered, "We have no policy in place yet." Cindy Blessing, a CDFB member who also is a BCSC trustee and Choices Program director, said, "We definitely want the deterrent there and we want to get help" for the student.
The superintendent added, "I want to give my (BCSC) kids as many tools as possible to address the difficult decisions they have to make." As a businessman, he said he is worried about testing expenses. CDFB member and Margaret Mary Health employee Geralyn Litzinger asked, "Can parents assume some of the costs?"
On this issue, Roberts said, "We want public input. We want to know what the community thinks." He said random drug testing "will be on the agenda from now until we come to a conclusion. You kind of do what your community expects you to do."
BCSC meetings, which are open to the public, are usually the third Monday of each month at 6 p.m. in the Batesville Middle School commons. The next one is slated for Monday, Sept. 16.

Yes, they're making another Friday Night Lights movie. This one's based on the TV show that was based on the book, not based on the book, as the Billy Bob Thornton movie was. It's kind of like how the Big East still plays football. Not trying to be mean.
From a Details interview, via Washington State blog Coug Center, here's creator Peter Berg.
DETAILS: People can't wait. There was a report about the movie that saying it would focus on Coach Taylor and that the story was inspired by Mike Leach, the former Texas Tech coach who was accused of locking a kid in a closet. What about that story resonates with you?
PETER BERG: I put Leach in a little cameo in Friday Night Lights and I started to become friends with him, and then he got fired. I really studied that entire situation-his getting fired and the accusations made against him by Adam James, and the pressure that his father, Craig James, put on Leach, using his ESPN bully pulpit. Craig James is a fucking scumbag, helicopter dad-and everything wrong with the culture I observed in Texas. Mike Leach never put that kid in a closet. The kid admitted it. It was a total lie. Now Mike Leach has the Washington State University job and he's got carte blanche. It's a great comeback story.
Later in that interview, Connie Britton, who plays Tami Taylor on the show, jokes about getting drunk and naked, which is all right with everybody, I'm pretty sure.

Patriots CB Kyle Arrington went from a 14-game starter in 2010 to the team's fourth corner this season. He still is finding ways on to the field, via special teams, nickel and dime packages and even as a defensive end. Arrington saw some extra time in the secondary in Week Two against the Chargers' passing attack, but was beaten on a couple plays by Chargers WR Vincent Jackson.
The way we hear it, Arrington is a smart, humble player and while he might not be happy that he's not starting, he will handle it well in his other roles. Arrington was undrafted and really came out of nowhere, working his way up through the practice squad. He has an interception and two passes defensed to go along with eight tackles this season. He doesn't have the size Bill Belichick wants in his corners anymore, but Arrington's role is valued, considering the team signed him to a two-year extension. He is skilled on special teams and against the run, not to mention the wrinkle he provides on defense when he lines up at defensive end, but the Patriots are in better position with Arrington as their fourth corner, not as a starter.

Andrew Sullivan: 'I Never Understood the Power of a President's Words' Till Obama Flipflopped on Gay Marriage
Remember back in 2008 when Michelle Obama said, "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I'm really proud of my country?"
The Daily Beast's Andrew Sullivan made a similar remark on this weekend's syndicated Chris Matthews Show when he said of Barack Obama's flipflop on same-sex marriage, "I never understood the power of a president's words till today, till that day" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
ANDREW SULLIVAN, DAILY BEAST: It's hugely important, and to tell you the truth, I didn't realize how important it would be till it happened. Beforehand, I was kind of steeled. I was like, "I don't care, he's going to disappoint us again," and then I sat down and watched our president tell me that I am his equal. That I'm no longer outside, I'm fully part of this family. And to hear the president, who is in some ways a father figure, speak to that, the tears came down like with many people in our families, to be included.
I never understood the power of a president's words till today, till that day, really. I thought, all that matters is the states and the Congress and the Defense of Marriage Act, and I had all this in my head. And yet suddenly, this man saying, "I'm with you, I get it, you're like me, I'm like you, there is nothing between us, we are the same people, and we are equal human beings, and I want to treat you the way you treat me." That, that was overwhelming. That's all I can say. I was at a loss for words.
This is the praise liberal media members give when a Democrat president is forced by his bumbling vice president to flipflop on a position that itself was a flipflop for political expedience four years prior.
Regardless of its consistency, the hypocrisy is staggering.
Media observers thought 2008 was conceivably a low for the journalism industry.
What's been happening so far in 2012 and is destined to continue through Election Day is making what happened four years ago look like journalism's heyday.

racist, liar, panderer, liberal, narcissist, incompetent, arrogant ( without any real basis for being that way unless you count being smart enough to pull the wool over the eyes of the pluperfect fools who adore his disgusting attributes and voted his worthless ass into office), and a limp-wristed pseudo basketball player who throws like a girl, whines like a teeny-bopper complaining about a breakout of zits before the school prom, and a bi-sexual.
Personally, I find him to be a real piece of work; butt then (h/t MOTUS), alongside his nasty-visaged wife, he seems more sissy la-la than dangerous.
I say 'seems', because he is truly the antithesis of what I consider being a patriotic American.
Barack Hussein Obama is a piece of sh*t, and those liberals, Democrats, or anyone, who cannot see what a reprobate he is, are fookin' blind.

The media and Obama are in sync!
Submitted by cbeyer on Sun, 05/13/2012 - 8:40pm.
You have to give the Obama campaign a lot of credit. Whether it is creating the phony issue of republicans denying women's right to purchase and use contraceptives or now gay marriage, Obama and his sycophants in the main stream media continue to divert attention from the disastrous American economy. Any number of polls show that jobs, the economy, the housing disaster, and energy prices are by far and away the leading concerns of the American public. Yet, the media continues to trot out all these other issues to avoid discussion of the overwhelming failure of the Obama administration to have a viable economic policy. Our economy is in crisis.
I seriously doubt the millions of Americans who have lost their jobs are sitting around discussing gay marriage, whether the government should provide free contraceptives to women or any of the other topics the media seems obsessed with.
As long as we fail to have a debate about the disastrous failure this administration has been in the area of the economy, Obama will likely be elected. His reelection team knows it and so does the left leaning (in the tank for Obama) media.

America's First Gay President
Submitted by berlet98 on Mon, 05/14/2012 - 3:01am.
America's First Gay President
We already knew Barack Hussein Obama was America's first semi-black president. Now, according to Newsweek, he is apparently also our first gay president!
I don't know whether the editors at the magazine were trying to out our commander-in-chief as a homosexual or whether Michelle Obama was aware all these years that her hubby had been living in a closet.
When the editors featured the president on the cover of their latest edition with his head crowned with a multi-colored halo, they may have been figuratively crowning him with the title of King of America's gay community as an adjunct to his already well-earned titles of Nobel Peace Prize Winner, "the Anointed One," "Master of the Universe," etc.
Unless it's related to the president's sudden, truly-miraculous, election-year evolution from being an adversary of same-sex marriage to finally comprehending the moraI and legal rightness of men marrying other men and women wedding other women, I really don't grasp the editorial rationale of declaring Obama "The First Gay President."
Perhaps if I read the leftist rag that is Newsweek, I'd comprehend more.
I do know that the rainbow halo is a nice touch beautifully complementing all the other halos superimposed on his head by his mainstream media over the last four years. . .

What "power" is that?
Submitted by CobraMan on Mon, 05/14/2012 - 10:11am.
The Power of Obama's words? What power is that? The last time I looked, nothing had changed after his Proclamation. The states that ban gay marriages still ban gay marriages. Gay men don't, shall we say, "enjoy" being able to file their tax returns jointly. The military doesn't recognize gay marriages. And the Catholic Church hasn't issued a retraction to its objections to gay marriages. So, what, exactly, has the President done that is so "powerful?"
The Wise and Powerful Obama announces his support of Gay Marriage, and nothing has changed, nothing at all. Just how "powerful" is he, outside the MSM that is?

3.8/5 rDev -3.1%
[Suggested Glassware: Dimpled Mug]
The pour was a clear dark brown with an average (1-2 finger) tan frothy head that lasted throughout, reducing slightly down to a medium cap and possessed excellent sheets of lacing.
The aroma was mildly sweet with a toasted dark malt and a sweet doughy yeast and had notes of chocolate, coffee, toffee and a pronounced hazelnut presence.
The taste was moderately sweet and extremely malty with notes of toffee and chocolate from the start, and then became just a tad bitter with a decent note of coffee and a nice smooth nutty alcohol finish. The flavor hung on for a good long time following the swallow, with a really tasty mocha coffee flavor left to linger on.
Mouthfeel was medium in body with a dry, creamy texture and a mild carbonation.
Overall this is one of the better Brown Ale's I have tasted to date (and I've tasted quite a few). It has tons of flavor and a smooth drinkability, which did a great job of subduing the high ABV. If you ever get a chance to try this one PLEASE do so, you will not be disappointed...

I'm not really familiar with Imperial English Brown Ale, so I'll have to score this by the seat of my pants. Thanks to Mike for trekking all these CC beers back from Tampa for us/me.
Pours dark brown, it's opaque with a light brown head that lingers.
What stood out for me about this brew is the aromas and flavors burst with a variety of nuts including: walnut, almond, pecan, and hazelnut. Hints of earth and alcohol and just an undeniable presence throughout. The finish is dry and not without hops, really a fine beer, as long as you share it.

purchased June 2011, no bottle date
A - Pours a deep brown with almost two fingers of dense, creamy tan head. Head has very good retention and leaves quite a bit of lacing behind.
S - Initial aroma of brown sugar and toffee. Very malty, with a bit of bread, some lightly roasted malts, hints of wood, and a faint cola aroma.
T - Taste is similar to smell, initially sweet with brown sugar and toffee, but gradually revealing a bit of cocoa, bread, a nice nuttiness and toasted malt.
M - Medium/full mouthfeel is incredibly creamy. Definitely coats the palate, but not overly heavy.
O - A little on the sweet side, but hat seems to work really well for this beer. Still has elements of a traditional brown ale, just amped up a bit

A-Thin toffee color head at pour. It fades rather quickly. Extremely dark in color...almost porter/stout dark.
S-Faint brown sugar and chocolate.
T-Like smell, lots of brown sugar and chocolate the, esp. the chocolate. The chocolate was rich and smooth. Reminded me of S.M. Taddy Porter. There is enough hoppiness to balance out the sweetness as well as a little bit alcohol feeling on the back of the tongue and in the nose. Really smooth considering the bar tender said it had 10% ABV.
M-Medium-thick, smooth and silky
D-I which I had ordered a second instead of the IPA that ordered when my food came. I also can't wait until CCB starts bottling the Bolita Brown so I can take it back home with me.

Thanks to someone for sharing this bottle at the Flying Saucer Beer Tasting.
The beer pours a brownish color with a white head. The aroma is a mix of toffee and caramel malt, with some hazelnuts and pecans mixed in. There is also a little bit of cocoa but it is somewhat hidden.
The flavor is an equal mix of toffee and chocolate with the same nuttyness that I got in the aroma. The alcohol is well hidden.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

750ml into a Stone Double Bastard Highball.
Pours a deep brown with lovely tan highlights. A frothy light mocha head rests atop the brew, leaving gorgeous lacing on the side of the glass.
Sweet, roasty notes meet an earthy goodness. Take everything good about the brown ale style, double it, and you have an idea.
Taste is more sweet than roasted, but with a perfectly bitter/spicy hop finish. the nuttiness is apparent in the lingering aftertaste. Superb.
Mouth is wonderfully smooth without being too heavy or chewy. While not the most intricate CCB beer, this is a very nice representation of a typically under appreciated style. This would make a great candidate for an addition to CCB's six pack lineup.

Had this courtesy of gford217 - thanks!
Pours a solid brown color with a one-finger off-white head. The head recedes into a patchy layer on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells of toasted malts with a good deal of syrupy cane sugar and hints of toffee.
Tastes very good. Toasted malt flavors with good amounts of toffee and milk chocolate. The ending is mildly bitter and there are hints of tobacco - something I noticed in the Maduro Brown and am a big fan of.
Mouthfeel is very good. It's got a heavy thickness with solid carbonation.
Drinkability is very good. I had no problem finishing my glass and could easily have more.
Overall this is a very good "imperial brown" that melds a bunch of flavors together very well. Certainly worth a shot.

A: Pours a very deep brown, almost black with a nice mocha colored head on top. Decent retention with spotty lacing.
S: The aroma is a combination of chocolate, toffee, and roasted nuts. There is a little bit of molasses and brown sugar too.
T: A surprising amount of chocolate up front, transitioning to some roasted nuts, caramel, molasses, and toffee.
M: Medium to full bodied for a brown ale, especially an English brown ale. Low carbonation gives it a smooth mouthfeel.
O: Liked this quite a bit. Loved the heavy chocolate aroma and flavors. On the heavier side for style, but makes up for it in terms of taste.

Big thanks to Beerlando for this one.
Pours a deeply murky brown/ruby color with a light tan head that rises well and retains ok. Reduces to a 1/4 inch film over the surface and leaves good lacing.
Nose is full of a fruity malt profile with some clear nuttiness towards the end of each sniff. Alcohol is apparent on the nose and almost a star anise like aroma is hinted at minimally.
Taste is very nice. A great roasty toasty malt profile with a very nice sugar sweet backbone. There is a good caramely and creamy spike in there as well. The fruitiness in the nose is barely pronounced at all, but there is a hoppiness in the flavor that i did not get in the nose as well. Not a huge hoppiness or anything, but there. The finish is not very bitter, but the aftertaste does have some belated lingering bitterness.
Mouthfeel is solid. A very nice viscous creaminess. Carbonation is ideal. Fairly slick on the palate actually, almost oatmeal slick, but there is a dryness that arises in the aftertaste.
Drinkability is quite nice for the abv. The creamy mouthfeel really mingles well with the flavor and makes this one easy to drink. Alcohol heat is there, but minimal by 9% standards.
Overall this is a very nice brown ale. Certainly one of the better ones ive had in a long time. The Barrel Aged version of this beer is an excellent beer, but this one is no slouch either. I got a bottle of the BA bolita to age, and actually i should have got another one of these too. A very complex and interesting brown ale. Very tasty.

Food safety and Streptococcus suis
Streptococcus suis is a bacterium commonly present in pigs in many parts of the world. In most cases it does not cause disease in pigs. People in direct contact with pigs or raw pig-products are at risk of infection but the small number of reported clinical cases in humans would suggest that the risk is very low.
Human infection is usually through direct contact with infected pigs or raw pig-products and is thought to occur through cuts or abrasions on the skin when handling infected pig material. Proper cooking (temperatures at or above 70º C in all parts of the product) kills this bacterium. Well cooked pork meat is safe but handling infected raw pig products, including those which are refrigerated or frozen, can be hazardous if good hygienic practices are not observed (see below).
The 2005 outbreak of Streptococcus suis in areas of Sichuan in China has raised concern about the risk associated with infected pork meat. In these areas, slaughtering and butchering of sick or dead pigs has been strictly prohibited. However, contact with infected pigs and raw pork from the affected areas could pose a risk of infection to farmers, slaughterers, butchers as well as to those processing or preparing the meat for consumption. The export of pork meat from the affected areas in Sichuan to Hong Kong was suspended on the 28 July 2005.
A group of international experts on Streptococcus suis convened by WHO reiterated that human infection is most likely to occur through cuts or abrasions on the skin. Although consumption of raw or undercooked pork may lead to disease, eating properly cooked pork is unlikely to represent an increased risk, even if the outbreak strain of Streptococcus suis involved is more dangerous.
Recommended good hygiene practices to avoid contracting Streptococcus suis:
- During slaughtering
- Do not slaughter sick animals
- Dead animals must not be used for food or feed and should be safely disposed to avoid contamination
- Wear protective clothing and ensure that all wounds are covered
- Keep the slaughtering area clean and separate from the food processing area
- Remove protective clothing and wash exposed body areas after slaughtering
- During food preparation
- Do not handle raw pig-products if you have wounds on your hands unless you cover all wounds by waterproof dressings or plastic gloves
- Keep the preparation area clean and wash your hands after handling
- Separate raw meat from cooked or ready-to-eat foods to avoid contamination
- Do not use the same chopping board or the same knife
- Do not handle both raw and cooked meat without washing your hands in between
- Do not place cooked meat back on the same surface it was on before cooking
- Cook thoroughly (temperatures at or above 70º C in all parts of the product)
