NASHVILLE (BP) -- Are you ready for some good news? The most recent Annual Church Profile (ACP) data reveals a new and positive direction in Southern Baptist missions and ministries funding through the Cooperative Program.
Over the past three decades, the average Cooperative Program gift per church, as a percentage of a church's undesignated receipts, had steadily declined. For example, in 1982, across all Southern Baptist churches, the average Cooperative Program gift per church was 10.7 percent of a church's undesignated receipts. Each year since, with the exception of three slight upticks in 1995, 1997 and 1999, there was a predictable and steady decline of average Cooperative Program gifts per church. Since 1999, average percent of undesignated gifts from cooperating churches has declined by about two-tenths of a percent per year, reaching its lowest point in 2011 -- 5.407 percent across all SBC churches.
But, we see signs of hope. In 2012, the average Cooperative Program gift per church ticked up slightly to 5.414 percent. Now, for some really good news: The 2013 Cooperative Program reports and SBC Annual Church Profile data show the average Cooperative Program gifts per church has again risen slightly to 5.50 percent. This is the first two-year growth in average percentage gifts through CP in more than 30 years. Instead of declining, as some had predicted, Cooperative Program gifts have moved in the other direction.
What does this report mean?
If the Cooperative Program were a publicly-traded "big box" company, and if analysts had projected a continued steady decline in business and market share, and then good news became public -- like our current Cooperative Program report -- you can believe renewed confidence in the stock would be driving up prices on the Dow Jones Industrial Average up a lot!
We routinely hear from some quarters that we (Southern Baptists) are on a steady march to the edge of a cliff. Yes, many of our reported numbers give us cause for grave concern. But is it time to reframe the image? Could we, perhaps, be standing at a new starting line?
Yes, this is only a two-year trend line. But it is the last two years, it is two years in a row and it breaks a 30-year decline.
Keep in mind that when we compute average percentage Cooperative Program gifts per church, we compute
Southern Baptist churches: graying churches, growing churches, new churches, contemporary churches, ethnic churches, mega-churches, small churches, legacy churches and, yes, churches that gave nothing through the Cooperative Program. Declaring this report about the Cooperative Program to be a clear-cut winner may be a matter of opinion, and I know there is cause for reticence and caution, but regardless of the celebratory rhetoric you may detect in this article, this is good news and certainly worthy of our attention and our celebration!
Again, when people expect one thing to happen, and the exact opposite happens, you absolutely must take notice, you absolutely must find the best way forward.
So, consider this. It appears that Southern Baptist churches are making positive, cooperative choices! Not only did the average percentage of Cooperative Program gifts per church go up; total Cooperative Program dollars went up, too, and did so during a time that many of their churches' undesignated receipts and total church receipts declined.
This year, at the SBC annual meeting in Baltimore, SBC Executive Committee President Frank S. Page will once again ask pastors and churches to prayerfully consider increasing their support of SBC missions and ministries through the Cooperative Program by giving an additional 1 percentage point of their churches' undesignated receipts. In 2012, more than 3,000 churches reported an increase in Cooperative Program giving by 1 percent or more. Now that the ACP report has been published, we will begin analyzing the 2013 data to see if this trend, too, is continuing.
During Frank Page's Great Commission Advance message on Tuesday, June 10, he will not only ask churches to do more, he will ask all Southern Baptists to do more. He will ask every individual and every family to embrace a biblical standard of stewardship -- tithing, giving of offerings and developing a lifestyle of generosity. If Southern Baptists were giving according to biblical standards, there would be more than enough money to reach every unengaged, unreached people group in the world; plant 15,000 new churches in North America; increase accessibility of affordable theological education; revitalize 28,000 plateaued and declining churches; support collegiate ministry at unprecedented levels; express vibrancy, passion and urgency for evangelism; address human suffering; increase ministries to hurting children; and expand moral advocacy efforts in the public square.
Usually Cooperative Program giving and church plate offerings tend to move together, but not this time. The 2013 ACP data confirms our churches are giving more to missions through the Cooperative Program while church members are giving less through their churches.
On this cusp of something new, there has never been a better time for Southern Baptists to settle the Lordship issue about money and honor the Lord through tithes and offerings.
C. Ashley Clayton is vice president for Cooperative Program and stewardship with the Southern Baptist Convention's Executive Committee.

Safety is on top mind for many racing fans after a horrific crash over the weekend at Daytona during a NASCAR Nationwide Series Race.
The crash happened on the last lap of Saturday's race sending debris from a damaged car into the stands.
Investigators said 11 people were flown to the hospital and 6 of them are listed as trauma patients. One is still in critical condition.
NASCAR has taken steps over the years to reduce the risk to spectators by installing higher fences.
Several local racing facilities are also taking precautions. I 77 Raceway Park near Ripley has several barriers that separate fans from the action on the track. There are guardrails, a ditch, a steep hillside and fences.
"As far as safety goes we are built in and pretty safe here," said promoter Joseph Rush.
T.J. Layne is the track promoter at Southern Ohio Raceway in Wheelersburg, Ohio.
"Accidents like what happened at Daytona on Saturday always makes you look at additional things you can do to make your facility safer," Layne said. "We are going to further evaluate where we allow people to view races from in higher risk areas such as the pit area and also look at some additional things we can do with our catch fencing."
Portsmouth Raceway is also taking precautions. "Being the home of the Dirt Track World Championship, we definitely want to insure safety for everyone," said promoter Donna Rayburn. "Our catch fence is inspected on a regular basis and meets all rules and regulations. Racing is a family sport and we want everyone involved to have a good time when visiting our facility."
To find out more about the various tracks and even to watch some wrecks that have happened at the facilities follow the links. No drivers or fans were injured in the wrecks.

A 42-year-old woman, para 2, with a history of sterilization, is frustrated with her heavy and prolonged menstrual periods. She is having difficulty maintaining her active lifestyle. She finally decides to see her gynecologist. Her work-up, which includes a complete blood count, a Pap smear, an endometrial biopsy, and transvaginal ultrasonography, did not reveal anemia or any abnormal findings. Several oral contraceptives and hormonal combinations have failed to normalize her menstrual pattern. She was offered hysterectomy by her gynecologist. She is here now for a second opinion because she heard that there were affective alternatives to hysterectomy.

13th Baltic International Summer School (BISS) opens on Monday, 1st of August in Valmiera, Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences. During two weeks of BISS two programmes will take place with 70 participants from 20 countries.
One of the programmes is Erasmus Intensive Programme "Environment Awareness. Communication. Interpretation" supported by the Lifelong Learning Programme of European Union. During two weeks various classes are planned at Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences as well as study trips to the North Vidzeme Biosphere Reserve, the Gauja National Park and the Gaiziņkalns Nature Park. The programme will include issues of nature protection, sustainable business and environment communication, as well as case studies of sustainability in tourism and hospitality. 40 students and 17 lecturers from Latvia, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States of America will take part in this programme.
The second programme "Learn and Experience Baltics: Nature, Culture and Spa Tourism" is organized in cooperation with Pärnu College, University of Tartu, Estonia. During this programme one week will be spent in Latvia and other one – in Estonia. From the 31st of July till the 4th of August and from the 11th till the 13th of August the programme will be provided in Latvia by Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences. From the 4th till the 10th of August participants' activities in Estonia will be maintained by Pärnu College, University of Tartu. During the programme students will have lectures on nature, culture and spa tourism in the Baltics. The lectures will be combined with various study trips. The programme has 30 participants from Azerbaijan, Belarus, Czech Republic, Cyprus, Georgia, Hong Kong, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Poland, Slovenia and Ukraine.
Rector of Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences Dr.hist. Vija Daukšte points out, that the number of summer school participants is record high in comparison with other years, which is indicator of the summer school's quality as well as additional responsibility. The summer school's theme dedicated to the environmental issues matches with the university's efforts of environmentally friendly performance – in 2011 Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences achieved the Green Point Challenge Cup as the greenest university of Latvia.

Immunological analysis of phloem sap of Bacillus thuringiensis corn and of the nontarget herbivore Rhopalosiphum padi (Homoptera: Aphididae) for the presence of Cry1Ab
Authors: Raps, A., Kehr, J., Gugerli, P., Moars, W.J., Bigler, F., Hilbeck, A.
Journal, Volume, Year: Molecular Ecology, volume 10:525-533, 2001
Analyzed an aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi), the Egyptian cotton leafworm (Spodoptera littoralis), and excretions of both species for the presence of Cry1Ab Bt protein. Used N4640Bt and its isoline and also event 176. Also used a microcappillary and cut leaf exudation to collect phloem. Detection was performed with a plate-based ELISA. Pooled samples of insects or excretions were used for analysis. No Bt was found in phloem or in the honeydew of the aphids. One out of three trials led to a very low detection of Bt in the aphid. Both larvae and feces of the leafworm were positive for Bt and concentrations in feces were tenfold greater than those in the larvae. Fecal concentration was similar to plant levels.
Good study. Demonstrated that phloem feeders probably provide little trophic danger to predators. Also showed that leaf-feeding larvae can carry protein and excrete it in ELISA active form at near plant expression levels.

Florida has become the latest state to receive more than 25,000 signatures on its White House petition asking to secede from the Union.
As of Wednesday morning, Florida's petition has more than 28,000 signatures. It's unclear how many of those signees are from Florida.
Another two dozen petitions represent secession requests from other states.
Under the "We the People" program launched last year, the White House will respond to any petition that receives at least 25,000 signatures within 30 days.
Anyone older than 13 can create a petition at petitions.whitehouse.gov.
More than 130 petitions have been filed at the site, including one called, "Deport everyone that signed a petition to withdraw their state from the United States of America."

EAST PEORIA, Ill. -- Local leaders, international entrepreneurs, and local businesses are cooking up a plan to control the invasion of Asian Carp in the Illinois River.
Ten entrepreneurs in China have expressed interest in bringing an Asian Carp processing center to the Peoria area.
Asian Carp was introduced to American fisheries in the 1970's to clean-up the water. Now, the species has invaded the Illinois River--making up more than half of the river's biomass.
"They grow so fast that they can really out grow their predators, so they'll get to the point where they are too big for the other fish to eat," said Illinois Department of Natural Resources representative Kevin Irons.
A female Asian Carp can weigh more than 100 pounds, and will lay more than 2,000,000 eggs three times a year.
"It's a major threat to natural biodiversity," said Irons. "If we find some alternative use for these, we might be able to get the population down."
Experts say the Illinois River near Peoria is one of the many Asian Carp hot spots. It is attracting international interest.
"We have a total of 10 different groups, most of those from China, looking to set up some sort of Asian Carp processing plant here," said Peoria County's Rural Economic Development Director John Hamman.
Hamman estimates that it will bring an estimated 125-150 jobs, while pumping millions into the local economy.
"Every part of the fish will be used," said Rick Swan with the Peoria Chamber of Commerce. "The head is a delicacy--they use it in soup, the meat they use for products and food, the pituitary gland they use in medical research, and the excrement they make into fertilizer."
Officials expect the plans for a news processing center to move forward within the next couple months.
Local chefs are finding their share of the abundance. Tuesday several area chefs attending an Asian Carp preparation workshop led by Clint Carter from Carter's Fish Market. They learned how to prepare the fish for local residents to enjoy.

I really can't type too much. I'm honestly still shaking after what I just witnessed. After blowing a 4 point lead late in the 2nd set, coming up short in the 4th set, I was so worried to see this team go down after battling for so long.
Well Coach Shondell, you're going to put my heart through more hell next weekend in Mackey Arena. It was a riveting game that features two great teams battling it out. Purdue never hit worse than 0.133 (2nd set), and outhit FSU 0.266 to 0.169. Click here for more stats.
I may have more on this game later as I am still recovering from my near heart attack and have to go to the 8pm Christmas Show.
After this exciting performance, I think the team deserves to play in a sold out Mackey Arena. It will be a tough task to do, but I think it is possible and we can make that place LOUD. Tickets are still available and start as low as $5, and you get to watch some amazing volleyball (as it could be an All-B1G regional if Penn State, Ohio State, and Minnesota win their games tonight).
I hope to see you in Mackey Arena next week. This is an exciting time for the volleyball team. They won the two games they needed to win in order to play back home. Now they need to win two more games and they are on their way to the Final Four.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- A teenager wounded in last week's Ohio school shooting that killed three students has been transferred to a rehabilitation unit.
The Cleveland Clinic's Hillcrest Hospital said Monday that 17-year-old Nick Walczak was transferred to MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland for intensive rehab. He was wounded in the neck, arm and back.
A second seriously wounded victim was released from the hospital last week. A third teen was nicked in the ear by a bullet.
A 17-year-old has been charged in juvenile court with aggravated murder in the attack last Monday at Chardon High School east of Cleveland.
The first funeral was held Saturday in Chardon and the others will be held Tuesday and Thursday, all at St. Mary Catholic Church.

Atherton Little League plans face opposition

As an Atherton resident who voted for Measure M, I am stunned and disgusted that any of our so-called "leaders" would continue this senseless war against the children and families of little league by attempting to circumvent a 75% mandate. These plans were clear on the ballot and approved by a huge margin. The fact that there were hours of debate on this shows how dysfunctional our government is. Anyone on the Council who does not support the voters on this should be recalled, or at least not re-elected.
on Sep 11, 2013 at 7:54 pm
Had voters known the extent to which the supposedly harmless Little League ballpark would overwhelm H-B Park and destroy the peaceful ambiance there, few would have voted for it. Reminds me of High Speed Rail and Obamacare . . . it wasn't until they were passed that we found out what was in store and then we regretted them. Thank goodness for an astute Planning Commission who saw through the phony façade of a supposedly harmless little ball-field and realized that it would be a permanent intrusion and eyesore at least seven months of the year. Little Leaguers have done just fine at the many school fields they already use. Let them continue there and leave our park in tranquility for all the non-ball-players who frequent it. I'm sure that a repeat election with the truth told would turn out very differently.
on Sep 11, 2013 at 8:12 pm
Peter Carpenter is a registered user.
This is what the voters approved:
"Should the Town permit the Menlo-Atherton Little League to improve the baseball field and surrounding areas at Holbrook-Palmer Park, including covered seating for spectators, an improved playing area for children, and new restrooms for all park users, using private funds only?"
There is nothing in the resolution which relieves the Town Council from approving the details of the proposed improvements. To argue otherwise would be to accept something like a 300 seat stadium without review or constraints.

Albany State University students, faculty and staff came together for a candlelight vigil to remember 20-year-old Taylor Terrell, Tuesday night.
The ASU student drowned in the Flint River more than three weeks ago.
The circumstances surrounding his death are still under investigation.
It was hard for some to hold back tears, as the ASU family remembered a fallen Golden Ram.
"Taylor was a funny guy. I remember one chapter meeting we counted how many times he said 'like' and he said 'like' 150 times," said Phi Beta Sigma President Ken Nesbitt.
After words of encouragement from ASU officials and students, the crowd went to the quad of the campus and lit a candle in memory of Terrell.
"I know this has been a very tough time, so we just wanted to make sure that we celebrated Taylor's life and show honor to his family and friends," said SAG President Clarence Washington.
"We just have to take all of the time that we can to appreciate our lives and continue to do what we have to do," said Demetri Nader.
Demetri Nader grew up in the same house as Terrell for majority of his life and although he says he appreciates all of the support from the ASU family, he still has a void to fill as the circumstances leading up to Terrell's drowning in the Flint River are still under investigation.
"I don't have closure yet because we don't know what happened. I probably won't have closure until we know if he was on something or if anybody had something to do with it," said Nader.
Nader says if anybody has any information he begs them to come forward.
"I just hope they can be honest and come forward or if the police do find anything, may God be with everybody," said Nader.
Until then, the ASU family will move forward with their heads held high and Terrell in their hearts.
An autopsy confirmed Terrell drowned, but investigators say they still don't know whether his death was suicide, accidental or homicide.
If you have any information about Terrell's death, you're asked to call Crimestoppers at 436-TIPS.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Kudos, again, the the ASCA folks who rebolted this climb, taking from an obscure, old-rusty-bolts-that-will-snap scarefest to a super-safe, super-classic climb. Don't let the 5.11 grade scare you off, the cruxs are very well bolted with big, fat, new, shiny ASCA hangers. This climb is so well bolted, the cruxes could easily be yarded through (A0 style).
Bolts protect the cruxes, and the anchors are new as well, but don't roll up with just a rack of draws and a rope -- no, no, no, you will also need a single set of cams to #2 Camalot (I am not sure what SuperTopo says to bring, but that is what we had, and were fine). Only one rope is necessary, and a 50-meter rope would work fine -- the pitches are all super short. The only reason a longer rope might be desirable would be if you wanted to run the last few pitches together, not a problem as after the route's crux, the difficulty eases way back to 5.6 patina pulling. Backing off this route would be easy.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Louisville mother and her boyfriend were arrested at Applebee's on Dixie Highway Friday night after police say they placed the life of a 3-year-old boy in danger.
According to arrest reports, officers were called to the Applebee's on Dixie Highway, near Rockford Lane, shortly after 10 p.m. on a report of two intoxicated individuals with a small child.
When police arrived, witnesses allegedly told them that 27-year-old Michelle Windgassen was passed out in the bathroom of the restaurant. Police say that when they found her, she was attempting to snort some type of narcotic which she allegedly identified as heroin. She also had a small baggie with a trace of heroin still inside, according to police.
Inside her purse, police allegedly found five Xanax bars.
Police say her boyfriend, 32-year-old John W. Lewis, was found intoxicated in the front driver's side seat of his car with a 3-year-old boy in the back seat.
According to the arrest citation, Lewis admitted that he and Windgassen had been with the boy all day, and that he had snorted heroin roughly 2-3 hours earlier, before driving to his father's house and then on to the restaurant.
The child was in the car the whole trip, according to police.
Windgassen and Lewis were both charged with public intoxication with a controlled substance and endangering the welfare of a minor.

But sometimes when I use web the device still freezes. The issue of Nokia N8-00 with Nokia Belle software should be resolved and Nokia should release a fix that will help us. As I discovered is that I am not the only one with this problem and Nokia should look into this.
11-02-2012 12:29
i also upgraded my nokia n8 from a flashed symbian anna to nokia belle.my phone was a swapped phone even though the produce code wasn't mentioned in the list. it seems the roll out of nokia belle isn't for everyone. the only thing i noticed was the continuous use of camera will freeze my unit. also i noticed the signal icon is not equal in the flash version compared to the original update

Dear Nokia Team,
I have an E7 Running Symbian Anna I used to have mail for exchange configured with my corporate account running smoothly on Anna but recently i updated to nokia Belle and I lost the mail for exchange completely, MFE disappeared after the update, though i have all of my applications running smoothly, both my gmail and hotmail are configured and running, but the MFE with corporate account is gone, it's not even there for me to set it up from the start, would appreciate your urgent support as i use MFE on my E7 on regular basis.

..after updating my e7 to nokia belle, it doesn´t recognize the unlocking code, and after restarting the device it ask for the unlock code, shows the message that it is wrong but continues loading (thanks god). I go to the phone security management in order to verify the unlocking code, but simply does not recognize the code. I am sure of the code because I had it wrote down. Is there any way to reset the security code?
I have received this answer NOKIA customer c. " In that situation the problem vanishes by entering any code until the phone stops asking for it. After this, the code you had entered before the update will work again normally." but it does not work
One more thing, when zooming pictures, and only pictures, once you lift your fingers from the screen, the image goes back to its starting size.
Have anyone got the same issue?
15-02-2012 2:01 - edited 15-02-2012 2:03
Firstly, opening some applications (or any) causes my phone to freeze up and therefore I have to restart it. I've done this at least 10 times already. I'm almost curious as to wether or not my N8 is struggling to keep up with the software. F-Secure will not respond after opening.
i update the phone yesterday to belle.
i got the same problem.phone freeze every time i open app,then i get black screen,then need to restart....
also,wen someone caling me,phone will freez,and ringing untill i restart it.
im on n8 3UK.
need some help,please

hi skyee.any solutins for us...cos my phone is keep freeze all the time.
i dont know,ifi should reinstall belle,or do the hard reset.......................or mayby my mobile is broken itself???
please help
19-02-2012 18:24
Interesting comments about the random freezes. After updating my N8 it is doing something similar. This is most pronounced when using the SMS application and results in the touch screen becoming unresponsive, before doing what looks like a reset of the GUI (the screen goes to the five flashing dots for a short period before restarting). Given that - and the fact that it now refuses to install any other software at all - I think I'm going to have to take it to a care point for a complete firmware re-install.
It's a real shame, because there are a lot of things to like about Belle - but I guess it's what you have to expect when you sack or outsource the entire development team before they have the chance to finish the job properly.

Any help from Nokia to our problems
19-02-2012 19:23
today phone was ok,for 1h,then start freezeing again.i check my disc space,ram,and all apps...
everythink looks ok,so it must be SW(belle) problem

and try what vilu85 said,but its still the same...
i might go to nokia care also,but why???
if belle was ready for us.someone should tested it.
as i said im with 3UK.
What is your operator.(all,with the same problem) please post it??????
mayby,they did't test it for us....

Some videos/photos are saved on different disk than before, hence all this hassle. Check your camera settings and where files are saved. I played a bit with this and now I have photos and videos as before, in Gallery.

Select Route:
Approach the first bolt of this route with an easy leftward traverse on creaky flakes. The technical crux awaits you at the second bolt where you must decipher some tricky arete moves. Once passed the arete make your way up right through some committing moves on overhanging jugs. Enjoy the fun exposed moves!
This route is most easily approached from the start of "toxic" (aggro gully). Your belayer may want to use the belay bolt, hidden behind a boulder, just to the left of the start of toxic.
5 bolts plus anchors

Clutch Problem
It seems my clutch is not disengaging when the tractor is cold. I have to to start the tractor in gear, it jumps a little then works fine for the rest of the day
"Maine, The Way Lifes Gonna Be"
Perhaps some moisture?
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Do you of did you have an oil leak at the rear main seal or the oil pump that could have gotton on the disk?
Has the tractor been sitting for a long time?
Once it breaks loose, does it then operate and feel proper?
Oil on the disk, sitting a long time will act like glue. It will have to be burned off with some abuse.
A rough spline or bent spline or a spline that is badly worn will want to try to hold the disk from moving.
Have you ever had it apart?
Just some things to think about.

LEBANON, OH (FOX19) - The judge in the Ryan Widmer retrial unsealed documents that were not used by the defense during the trial.
The documents unsealed by Judge Neal Bronson reveal several things about lead investigator Jeff Braley that were not used by Widmer's defense team.
Among them, Detective Braley did not attend the University of Florida or obtain his masters from Wright State University as indicated on his application with Hamilton Township Police. Braley also lied about his experience as a postal inspector, instead only working as a part-time clerk.
FOX19 Legal Analyst Mike Allen said of the evidence, "It's very damaging...to detective Braley who will have to testify in a third trial if there is one."
Judge Bronson will hear arguments for a third trial August 3rd.

This fun crack is to the right of the first pitch of "After Six". Jam up nice, smooth hands and fingers to where a step right can be made. Continue up to a ledge. From here one can either continue climbing up and joining "After Six", or descend.
Pro to 2.5".
2 ropes req'd to rap. Excellent climb and well-protected for leaders pushing their abilities. FA: unknown according to both ST and Reid.
I was able to rap with a single 70m.
The "5.8" face moves are pretty mello. Don't get intimidated by them.
With a 70m rope you can rap off the tree at the top of the first pitch of after 7 . It is a rope stretcher. If you swing right into after six, you can reach a good ledge about six feet off the ground , then a short and easy downclimb...
Great route and a more aesthetic start to After Six. The crux is no issue but the crack climbing is real committing.
Try the alternate final pitch with the left-leaning left-facing corner... not as much exposure on the way up but a nice sustained 5.8 with a committing but rewarding roof mantle at the end.
Great pitch as a start to After 6 or on its own. Walk-off requires some tricky smearing.
Pitches 3 & 4 and 5 & 6 (if continuing on After Six) linkup perfectly with a 70 meter rope, no simulclimbing. With maybe a scramble in between the anchor and the next belay, pitches 1 & 2 probably linkup as well to cut the pitch count down to 3.
I cut left before the "roof" and had to run it out 40 feet. The hard parts were protected mostly.
A really fun and exciting pitch; no problems protecting using passive-only pro. Provides an excellent alternative to After Six first pitch now that the tree is gone.
with a 60 m you can do two rappels from above Jump for Joy & Haley's Comet to those route bolts and then a second rappel from there. The bolts at the second rappel are a bit sketchy though . . . Much easier and better protected than the 5.8 pitch of C.S. Concerto.
If you have 1 rope you can climb up to a nice manzanita ledge (up and left of the rap tree for after 6) and walk off as per the first pitch of after 6, gully to the left. keep your climbing shoes on, as a few thin crimps for hands and feet on the descent can see you off, and a fall of ~15ft is possible
My first time in the valley this weekend and decided to do this route as my introductory climb to Yosemite climbing. Quality route, 4 stars from me. Felt like tahquitz climbing(my home trad crag)
if you prefer crack/face climbing this route is much better alternative to the 1st pitch of After Six which is polished and a bit scary. The crack si very solid, not slippery at all and very well protected. You can easily rappel with a 70m rope from the two trees at the end without any downclimbing.

A quarter of a million babies—3% of all infants born in the US each year—have some mental or physical defect that is evident at birth. Since the causes of nearly all birth defects are largely unknown, research into molecular regulatory mechanisms responsible for normal embryogenesis provides the framework for investigations into the etiology of abnormal embryonic development.
Craniofacial malformations occur with a frequency of 1 in 600 live births annually in the United States. Our previous studies have provided substantial evidence supporting the premise that various cellular signal transduction pathways interact to regulate cell proliferation and cell differentiation in embryonic craniofacial tissue. Such interactions represent the underpinnings of a complex and delicately balanced developmental system where morphogenesis and cellular differentiation of the craniofacial region are mediated by the sequential expression of molecular signals. Our studies dealing with molecular analyses of gene function in the embryo—utilizing the developing craniofacial region—are designed to provide definition and clarification of developmental signaling pathways critical for normal embryogenesis as well as identification of foci for perturbation and attendant fetal abnormalities.
Current studies—selected specifics outlined briefly below—are designed to identify means by which signal transduction pathways, known to be critical in development of the craniofacial region, regulate gene expression and embryonic development.
Overview of selected laboratory investigatory areas:
- microRNAs & epigenetic regulation of craniofacial development
- Transcriptional coactivators and craniofacial & neural tube development.
- Transcriptional coactivators and folate-mediated development.
- Cigarette smoke-induced intrauterine growth retardation & adverse developmental outcomes.
- TGFß/Smad signaling mechanisms in embryonic craniofacial development.

Refrigerators, whichever way you look at it, are an appliance you just cannot do without in today's day and age. From the simplest of iceboxes to the most complex technology equipped refrigerators, man has always depended on some form or the other of cooling to preserve the food he consumes daily.
Catering to these requirements, designers from LG have come up with the GL-205KMG5 food-preserving appliance. The refrigerator features cutting-edge technology and performance boosting features to give you a truly remarkable appliance in every right.
Design and Technology
If you are looking to stock up on all the essentials you need for weeks or if you are planning to host a grandiose party in a couple of days for friends and family, the GL-205KMG5 refrigerator from LG features an ample total storage capacity of 190 L to meet all your storage and preparation requirements. Designed to keep all the ingredients and beverages you store at its optimum freshness, the LG refrigerator significantly increases the shelf life of any item you place in it.
The single door refrigerator makes use of Direct Cool technology to efficiently and uniformly cool the entire 190 L of storage room the appliance comes with. Moreover, Direct Cool technology is known for its defrosting capabilities, ensuring that you needn't spend hours every other month to defrost the appliance. The efficiency with which the GL-205KMG5 appliance works is truly unparalleled, even earning the unit the highest accolade of 5 stars when it comes to its energy rating. These stars directly translate to substantially lower running costs and hence making sure it does not burn a hole in your wallet when come that time of the month when you have to pay your electricity bills.
Performance Features
Sometimes, protecting every appliance in your house from electrical fluctuations and surges is simply not an economically viable option. Even if you decide to save just the important and expensive ones, picking up high-capacity stabilisers for each appliance can increase your costs substantially. To make life a little more convenient for you, the designers of the Single Door 190 L refrigerator from LG have designed the appliance to work without a stabiliser. Featuring an internal stabiliser that can withstand voltages between the range of 135 – 290 V, the appliance's large voltage buffer zone is just what you need to keep the unit performing optimally even through the most temperamental of electrical fluctuations.
To prevent bacteria and fungi build-up on the door gasket of the refrigerator that occurs due to its contact with varied inner and outer temperatures, the designers of the LG appliance have equipped it with an anti-bacterial gasket. The airtight gasket that keeps in the fresh refrigerator air can also be removed and cleaned whenever you like.
Chilled beverages can at times, be the most refreshing thing you could have after coming home from a hard day's work. LG has even equipped the GL-205KMG5 Direct Cool refrigerator with their patented ice tray feature that is said to form ice 20 per cent faster, ensuring to quench your thirst with a perfectly chilled drink whenever you feel like having one.
Ergonomically designed trays, shelves and the foldable bottle rack that the 190 L refrigerator features help you organise the appliance's contents just the way you want. The toughened glass shelves are designed to take the weight of most of the utensils and dishes you place inside the refrigerator, featuring a maximum load capacity of an impressive 175 kg. On the whole, LG designers have managed to design a remarkably capable cooling appliance and should, in theory, meet all your food storage demands.

Bought this LG Refrigerator almost 6 months back, though not from flipkart. At that time, this model was not available in my location.
Regarding the fridge, I would gladly give 5 stars. Cooling is awesome. It takes barely 2 hours for ice making, and so far, it has kept all foods very fresh.
Non veg items remain very fresh even after a week. Though it has some cons as listed below.
- Very fast and immense cooling
- Relatively less price
- Great design
- Sturdy glass doors
- No Sound at all
- Door is very tight to open at times.

Hey TN, get ready for the NEVs
Tennessee enacted a law on July 1st to allow NEVs with a top speed of 35 mph to use roads where the speed limit is 40 mph. Montana and Washington are the only states that have such laws. Currently, all other states follow a 1998 federal law that only allows NEVs on roads posted at 35 mph or less.
Translation: shiny golf cart with a hard-top.
You don't get in it, you put it on.
You'll eventually get to 60mph anyways; but you'll be plastered to the grill of a semi.
Hope this gets done for the rest of the states. But since it makes so much sense, it won't.
There's an electric car dealership just down the street from me (Salem, OR), they are totally constrained, both by the 35mph federal thing and that the cars (state law?) are governed down to 25mph. It's a joke.
There are faster ones, ironically less safe because they have only three wheels, but which can travel wherever, being classified as motorcycles.
Over-regulation is the entire problem. Good job Tennessee but not far enough.
These little things will lead to more deaths on the road. But HEY! ... it's electric! Woo hoo!
I found myself getting caught up in this "save gas" craze when I realized I'd be puttin myself and my family in danger. I bought my Buick LeSabre for safety and safety is still King for me. I'll pay an extra $150 a month or more (even a lot more) to protect my wife and son.
>You'll eventually get to 60mph anyways; but you'll be plastered to the grill of a semi.
Huh? There are no semis in my neighborhood and no cars of any type exceed 45 mph even when speeding 15 mph above the posted 30 mph.
I remember when elderly ladies wore shoes that looked like that. But not in red.
>Posted by: Spiffy at July 11, 2008 6:28 PM
Roads with minimum speeds of 40 mph are typically interstates. They are talking about letting these things on interstates.
lorien1973 said "Roads with minimum speeds of 40 mph are typically interstates. They are talking about letting these things on interstates"
No, they're not. They're talking about state roads. Interstates are not state roads.
Seems like an idea whose time has come. I'd like to see a new class of vehicles defined by the Feds- low powered, small cars that would be limited to (say) 45mph and wouldn't have to meet the same safety standards as cars that travel on freeways. They'd still be safe than a scooter or motorcycle. In fact, the biggest danger would be from some old coot in a Buick LeSabre barreling down a side street at 55.
>Roads with minimum speeds of 40 mph are typically interstates. They are talking about letting these things on interstates.
They are talking about MAXIMUM speed limits, not minimums. These vehicles are for city streets and some suburban neighborhoods -- NOT divided highways with high speed limits above 40 mph.
How much?
I have a 228hp Acura TL. I have no idea how fast it can go.
What I do know is that my commute is 10 miles on surfaces streets that top out at 40-45mph...if traffic is moving.
My TL's onboard computer informs me that, week after week, my average miles per gallon is 18 and my average miles per hour is 17.
I need 228 horsepower to go 17mph in stop and go rush hour traffic?
I also bought a ScanGaugeII that plugs into the OBDII diagnostics socket so I can monitor more engine data. It has a real time cost computer. You tell it what you paid for the gas and it tells you how much you are blowing out the tailpipe...in real time.
So now I can see that it costs me 2-3 cents as I idle at each red traffic light. And there are lots of lights.
Electrics (or a scooter) are looking better and better.
My car can go 157mph.
If I ever want to drive a golf cart though, I will seriously consider one of those. Perhaps in a more conservative color.
I've been waiting to see something like this for a long time. It isn't much use to me personally, as I must travel a stretch of highway with a 55 mph limit. I see it as a baby step in loosening regulations, though.
If the government allows motorcycles on highways, it should allow smaller vehicles (electric or otherwise) on the highways, if they can travel at the limit, or a bit less.
Now if there are not enough coal-powered electric plants to maintain the current electrical grid, how will plugging in millions of gulf carts each night re-generate electical use during the day? And how about the cost of plugging in those gulf-carts to people who are having a hard time just paying the electric bill for energy in their homes?
Small example, here in NYC Con-ed is increasing the price of electricity by 20%!
Is this 'gulf-carts will stop funding Islamic Fascism' the same silly 'billion mercury bulbs in America' campaign we saw last year which brought about a government ban on regular light bulbs? Go going Libertarians, not only did you encourage Big Mommy Government but you've polluted our nation with mercury!
As an urbanite I don't own a car however these crazy, spastic ideas about 'alternative energy' really delivers enormous pain and misery to those who live in rural and suburban areas along with those who are just trying to survive; not to mention food costs at home and around the world.
It's quite snobbish really, all these dem mercury bulb ideas about energy and such.
Especially when these ideas are flowing from one energy consuming computer to another; how about this dem mercury bulb idea of energy conservation...why not insist the government ban the Army of Davids from turning their computers permanently? Of course, your energy consuming computers are off limits....right?
syn, you ignorant slut.
Electric cars can re-charge at night, during off-peak hours. You're familiar with the idea, right? You know, night...when we -- the Army of Davids -- aren't reading your stupidity on the computer. We're in bed, dreaming about tax-breaks and the 2nd Amendment.
Besides, we have coal HERE, in the US. That's a domestic energy source. Unlike oil. Unless you want us to drill in Alaska. Are you saying we should drill in Alaska?
You don't really HAVE a solution, do you?
I didn't think so.
It is about priorties. Our air and water are dirty. The solution is use only the clean energy you really need. I think a viable solution is to do what you can do. Many people could ride an electric scooter to work that has been charged by the sun.
Nothing can safeguard against stupidity regarding safety. If a tank runs over an electric scooter I don't think the solution to everyone drive a bigger tank. Awareness is the answer.

Stuffed cabbage on a cold night hits the spot. It's warming and homey in an old-fashioned, grandmotherly way. In this traditional version of leaves wrapped around ground beef, you have to soften the whole head of cabbage in a pot of boiling water until you can peel off layers. Then enclose within the leaves a mixture of beef and rice and bake covered with tomato sauce. It's a poor man's feast, a specialty of the Eastern European kitchen, where the dish was once made with meat scraps. Be careful not to roll the packages too tightly because the uncooked rice will expand.
The second meal of cabbage soup is just as hearty and comforting. A base of chicken stock and tomatoes is simmered with chunks of cabbage, chopped leftover rolls and their sauce, and carrots. Add a squeeze of lemon at the end of simmering to brighten the pot. Come in on a freezing night, and ladle the soup into big bowls . If it's nourishing warmth you're looking for, this should do the trick.

SEIA is the solar energy industry's go-to source for the latest coverage on solar power, including U.S. and international policy, research and polls, business and financing trends, and more. Our staff strives to support the media covering solar energy issues and guide our members on effective media outreach with clear statements, background materials, news and multimedia resources.
SEIA is committed to informing policymakers, the media, and the American public about the benefits of solar energy for today's communities, our economy, and our country.
Learn more from our statements and industry news below.
Following a vote at its board meeting in San Francisco yesterday, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) announced that Nat Kreamer, President and CEO of Clean Power Finance, has become Chairman of the SEIA Board, effective immediately. Tom Starrs, Vice President of Market Strategy and Policy for SunPower Corp, will serve as Vice Chairman.
Today's decision by the U.S. Department of Commerce to impose new tariffs on solar modules from China threatens to derail the rapid growth of the U.S. solar industry, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA). Commerce will immediately impose countervailing duty tariffs ranging from 18.56 to 35.21 percent.
Warning that it will have a chilling effect on renewable energy development in Ohio, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) is urging Gov. John Kasich to veto a bill that would freeze the state's renewable energy and energy efficiency mandates. The bill, SB 310, passed the General Assembly on May 28 but has not yet reached the governor's desk.
WASHINGTON, DC – South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley today signed legislation that removes some restrictions on solar development and prompts utilities to invest in or acquire a certain amount of solar by 2021. In response to the bill becoming law, Carrie Cullen Hitt, senior vice president for state affairs for the Solar Energy Industries Association, issued the following statement:
WASHINGTON, D.C. AND BOSTON, MA — GTM Research and the Solar Energy Industries Association® (SEIA®) today released U.S. Solar Market Insight: 3rd Quarter 2013, the definitive analysis of solar power markets in the U.S., with strategic state-specific data for 28 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Reacting to today's presidential memorandum requiring the federal government to get 20 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2020, SEIA President and CEO Rhone Resch released the following statement:
WASHINGTON, DC – The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) today announced that Chip Bircher, longtime coordinator of the Department of Energy's Utility Solar Water Heating Initiative (USH2O), will be joining SEIA's Solar Heating and Cooling (SHC) Alliance.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Saying it will help to spur solar deployment nationwide, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) praised a new rule approved today by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) that will expedite and reduce the cost of solar project interconnection, while maintaining the reliability and safety of the electric grid.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Carrie Cullen Hitt, senior vice president of state affairs at the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), released the following statement today after a proposed new fee on solar customers in Georgia was dropped:
CBS News
In 2013 there was a 47 percent jump in the number of home solar installations in the U.S., and by the end of the year more than 400,000 American homes had solar power. Don Dahler meets one man who uses imagination to help power the change.
California set back-to-back solar power records last week, the state grid operator said on Monday. The amount of electricity produced from carbon-free solar facilities connected to the grid reached 4,093 megawatts on Saturday, surpassing the day-earlier record of 3,926 MW, the California Independent System Operator (ISO) said in a statement.
If the faces of renewable energy critics are not red yet, they soon will be. For years, these critics — of solar photovoltaics in particular — have called renewable energy a boutique fantasy. A recent Wall Street Journal blog post continues the trend, asserting that solar subsidies take money from the poor to benefit the rich. But solar-generated electricity is turning into a powerful environmental and economic success story.
Illinois Rural Electric Cooperative held a ribbon cutting for its new 500 kilowatt solar facility which is located south of Winchester on Illinois Route 106, next to one of the substations that serves the cooperative's 7,800 members. The installation is the first utility-scale photovoltaic solar energy system by a cooperative in Illinois.
While Americans know wind and solar energy are clean, they often aren't aware of the economic success story behind these renewable-energy technologies. Wind and solar power have economic benefits that reach far and wide. They have become increasingly affordable, attracting billions in private development, and today are both mainstream and reliable energy sources across America.

The smell of something yummy permeated the air at the Northeast Colorado Health Department Thursday.
NCHD opened its doors for its first ever open house, where department staff shared information about the various programs and services NCHD offers.
But the event was more than just an opportunity to pick up some brochures or ask a few simple questions.
There were brochures and other take-home resources at stations throughout the building, but there were also cooking demonstrations, an activity on proper hand washing to remove germs, and plenty of fun giveaways for children and adults alike. Visitors could fill goodie bags with items like travel mugs, jump ropes, children's toothbrushes and pens, and also register to win several prizes: one of three bikes, free rabies vaccination for a pet, food thermometers and a Bountiful Baskets basket.
The staff was pleased with the turnout and the opportunity to get out information about programs like Healthy Communities, which helps children ages 20 or younger with questions or concerns about Medicaid and CHP+ enrollment, or immunization clinics.
The event also highlighted the department's annual public health and food safety award winners.

The Texans will be watching the AFC championship game at home because they turned the ball over four times in the divisional-playoff loss to the Ravens. And while rookie QB T.J. Yates deserves much of the blame for throwing three interceptions — all into double coverage — the costly turnovers magnified perhaps Houston's greatest remaining weakness: a lack of a legitimate No. 2 wideout who occasionally demands double-teams. Yates was looking for a bracketed Andre Johnson on all three picks because WRs Kevin Walter and Jacoby Jones were virtual nonfactors. In two postseason games, Walter caught three passes for 36 yards, Jones had zero catches (and a costly fumble on a punt return) and no other Texans wideout caught a pass. The WR position will be the Texans' top offseason need, we hear, and could be the one area holding them back from becoming an elite offense.

Learn lessons now from retailers with powerful iPad apps.
It's amazing how slow so many companies are to respond to Apple Inc. when Apple comes out with a boffo new product that takes the world by storm. An explosion of tablet PCs, many powered by Google Inc.'s Android operating system, is just beginning—see Motorola's Xoom and Samsung's Galaxy Tab. But Apple on Wednesday will already be unveiling the second version of its phenomenally popular iPad, which debuted in April 2010.
Industry estimates put the iPad's share of the tablet PC market near 90%, likely to shrink to around 75% a few years from now. That's still three-quarters of a market that's expected to reach 26.0 million tablets sold this year and 82.1 million tablets sold in 2015, Forrester Research Inc. says. The iPad 2 is Apple's trump card for 2011 to hold the onslaught of Android tablets at bay.
And I think it will work. That mysterious allure infused by Apple into its mobile products—think the ubiquitous iPod and iPhone—will continue to draw excited consumers in the market for a tablet to the iPad 2. Its perfect size, highly intuitive features and robust functionality have a lot to do with it, too.
While everything today is still a secret, it's widely anticipated that the iPad 2 will have cameras in the front and back—for taking pictures and video, and for Internet-based video chats. It also will probably be running Apple's new dual-core A5 processor, which will enhance an already fast and powerful machine. And it will be lighter and thinner than the original iPad. I'm sure there will be other upgrades, as well.
A figure that really sticks with me is 82.8%. 82.8% of all mobile traffic at one retailer studied by Forrester Research stemmed from an Apple device: 33.1% from the iPhone, 3.2% from the iPod Touch, and, the one to watch, 46.5% from the iPad. Keep your eyes on your web logs, look for iPad traffic, and watch it climb as Apple sells millions of the iPad 2 this year.
You'll soon see if you haven't already that you have to cater to iPad customers, and customers with any type of tablet. This may mean offering an optimized site (don't forget Apple mobile devices don't run Flash), or it may mean doing that and creating an iPad app. That's for you to judge based on who your customers are and what kind of products you sell. And on the iPad and tablet traffic you see in your web logs.
What I recommend you do first is carefully study the iPad apps from various pioneering retailers, including Amazon.com Inc., Bluefly Inc., eBay Inc., Express LLC, Gilt Groupe, The Golf Warehouse (TGW Catalog), HSN Inc., The Neiman Marcus Group Inc., Peapod LLC, Polo Ralph Lauren, QVC, Sears Holdings Corp., Wine.com Inc. and Zappos.com. These are leaders with great iPad experiences who can give you some ideas to lead you on your way to tablet success.

Poor people have poor ways! The steering wheel on Katrina was totally trashed - being too tight to cough up $50 for a new one, went this way. Stripped the wheel down to bare metal, painted the spokes - glued 1/2" foam pipe insulation (had to cut it down by about 1/2" to fit snuggly)around it w/quick setting epoxy glue. Bought a leather (vinyl) wheel wrap from the auto parts store and viola!! Leather wrapped, foam padded steering wheel!
Cost - foam pipe insulation 4' - $ .98
epoxy quick glue 2.86
Steering wheel wrap 3.89
Total cost 7.73
Plus 2 hours sitting on the screen porch in NC!!!!!
