Team sees 9,695
Filipino professions of faith
By Connie Davis Bushey
SOMERVILLE, Tenn. (Baptist & Reflector) -- A Super Typhoon rocked the central islands of the Philippines in November, leaving massive devastation in its path. Due to the destruction, the Filipino people are even more aware of how precious life is, said Charles Pratt after spending some time with them recently. Southern Baptist relief efforts by Baptist Global Response teams are underway, he added.
Pratt led a team of 12 volunteers from West Tennessee to the Philippines where members conducted two weeks of evangelistic crusades.
As a result 9,695 people decided to receive Jesus as their Savior with over 400 people making other decisions. The team served with about 24 churches in three different Baptist associations on Luzon Island.
Pratt, director of missions for the Fayette Baptist Association based in Somerville, and president of Cross Partners Ministry, Inc., said the team was one of the first evangelism teams to minister there in the past two months. He credits the powerful experience to the prayers of prayer partners on both sides of the globe. Cross Partners Ministry produced a Prayer Guide of 24 specific prayer concerns to direct about 400 prayer partners.
Pratt, who has been leading volunteers for the past 25 years to five different continents, said the team experienced the work of the Holy Spirit from the very onset. The team saw people give their lives to Jesus on airplanes, in taxi cabs, stores, and restaurants because the volunteers had determined that the Lord would have full use of their lives to see what He could do with some ordinary believers, explained Pratt.
"Perhaps, the most amazing personal experience for me happened while I was preaching in a church on the last Sunday morning" reported Pratt. When he extended the invitation for salvation, a group of over 100, mostly adults, came forward to receive Jesus as their Savior. This was in a four-year-old church mission which was meeting in a newly completed building.
The funds for the building were given to Cross Partners Ministry by New Mitchell Grove Baptist, Halls. This was the fifth church building that New Mitchell Grove has provided for in the Philippines by giving money for the building materials, added Pratt.
"It is unusual to see so many adults making professions of faith at a church service. That really seems to be a rarity in American churches, however, it occurred in the Philippines that morning" stated Pratt.
Volunteer Loren Stephens, pastor of Southside Baptist Church in Dyersburg, said he "was thrilled to return to work with the Filipino people. ... People ask me why I continue to go to this country and I tell them that God is at work among the Filipino people in schools, colleges, prisons, and every community. It is easy to see that it is God doing all of this through us and rewarding our efforts."
Volunteer Mike Hopper, a member of Zion Baptist Church near Brownsville, observed that "the glory of the Lord fell all around us on this journey, bestowing a multitude of blessings upon us. We witnessed the power of God in action. It was so unbelievable to see so many people coming to Jesus as we did in the Philippines. We want to see our Lord do some similar things in Tennessee."
Willie Pounds, another team member who is pastor of Saint Paul's Baptist Church in Kenton, summed up his thoughts by stating, "the Holy Spirit ministered as never before saving so many souls with a powerful work of Jesus." Pounds, who was on his sixth trip to the Philippines, concluded, "This was the most rewarding mission experience that I have ever had. The people were so open to the gospel and hearing our story about Jesus. I thank God that I was a part of the Cross Partners Ministry team."
"It was exciting to see God working through our team, as well as in the lives of the Filipinos," said Tony Michael, pastor, Jolley Springs Baptist, Dresden.
Team members were Randy Boals, pastor of Hopewell Baptist, Lavinia; Ed Bone, member, Jolley Springs Baptist; Jimmy Breedlove, a pastor in Mississippi; D.C. Melton, member of Lakeview Baptist, Selmer; Randy Crews, pastor of Springhill Baptist, Dyersburg; Donald Williams, member of Beech Grove Baptist near Halls; John Hayes, pastor of Shaw's Chapel Baptist Church, Brownsville, and physician; Stephens; Pounds; Hopper; Michael; and Pratt.

Basic training helps prepare church
planters for work in the trenches
By Amanda Phifer
BENICIA, Calif. (California Southern Baptist) -- It's as true for church planters as everyone else: you don't even know what you don't know. Hence, Basic Training.
Basic Training for church planting teams is a two-weekend crash course in church planting offered by California Southern Baptist Convention several times a year, in several locations and languages. It is an intense focus on vision, strategy and the nuts-and-bolts that are so often like a foreign language to the visionary, entrepreneurial types who chiefly comprise the ranks of church planters.
California saw the planting of 103 new congregations last year, 126 in 2012.
"Especially for those without formal training, there is almost no other place to learn the steps to church planting," explained Howard Burkhart, CSBC church planting catalyst who coordinates the trainings.
"Most people who take this course have a calling or a desire, or are considering planting, but they don't have much of an idea of how to get started or what to do. Sometimes a planter and his team come out of an existing church and are underestimating the fact they have nothing to build upon."
And so Basic Training covers the "big picture stuff" - biblical foundations, worship, evangelism, discipleship and stewardship strategy - and a surprising amount of the nitty-gritty - registering as a non-profit, writing a constitution and bylaws, setting up a checking account, establishing a child care policy, getting a post office box, and more.
"Most people don't know they have to do these things, much less how to do it, and yet these things need to be done," Burkhart said.
Church planting teams, therefore, leave the second weekend with a poster-sized sticky-note covered in smaller sticky-notes - their "mileposts."
"This is basically the team's 'to do' list," Burkhart explained. "It's laid out clearly and sequentially. So the church planter can cross off items as they're done: decided on a name, check; got a P.O. box, check; registered as a 501(c)(3), check. We consistently hear feedback that this is an extremely helpful tool."
For an extra measure of both accountability and encouragement, at the end of the training each team schedules an appointment with a local church planting strategist four to six weeks after the training. And in the next 18 to 24 months, as the church grows, the planter and the strategist can continue to refer to the strategies and mileposts they established at Basic Training.
It's not all administrative, of course. Basic Training helps the church planting team -- often a planter and his spouse plus one or two others -- craft more lofty strategy.
"We talk about gathering - how do you gather people, a network, clusters?" Burkhart said. "Think like a salesman. Can you coach your kid's soccer team? That's 15 families you'll get to know. And the person you led to Christ - who do they know?"
Church planters develop outreach, discipleship and stewardship strategy at Basic Training, all of it, ideally, consistent with their overall focus.
"We tell them, if you want to focus on relationships, then structure your outreach and events relationally. Don't put flyers on car hoods. If you want to have diversity, have it. Have it on your worship team, among your leadership, among your volunteers. If you value inclusiveness, get the newest people plugged in as soon as you can. Everything's got to be integrated."
The training provides time for groups to learn what they need to do, then develop their own strategies. They go home with a working draft of each of these components.
Basic Training is offered every 9-12 months in San Diego and the Bay Area in English. It's offered in Spanish once a year in the north and south; and in Korean, Russian and Chinese as requested.
The training is Friday-Saturday, two consecutive weekends, to allow both for planters who are bivocational and others who have to work during the day. The cost for basic training is $50 per person, $150 for a team of three to five people. The fee includes all materials and two meals. It is significantly supported by Cooperative Program funds.
"There's a lot of 'Oh, I never thought about this or that!'" Burkhart said. "They walk away saying it was hugely helpful."

Into Africa: Five stories of
going where the Gospel hasn't
By Meredith Flynn
EDITOR'S NOTE: Five Illinois volunteers traveled to Guinea earlier this year to tell stories from the Bible to people who do not yet know Christ.
GUINEA (Illinois Baptist) -- "What took you so long to come back?"
The question came from someone Ron P. had never met before. But the man, a spiritual leader in his village, had met people like him before.
"That affirmed to us the need to be there," said the Illinois pastor. At 64, he was labeled the "omum" (old man) of the group by the Guineans, who showed him respect because of his age. His American teammates also called him by the title occasionally, he said.
The group had been trained by International Mission Board personnel to learn a specific set of Bible stories leading up to their trip. Ron had even woven the stories into his church's Christmas program. But standing on a bridge with his interpreter, he had an unexpected opportunity to improvise. Looking down below at people swimming and fishing in the water, the interpreter asked him to tell a story about Jesus and Peter to passersby on the bridge.
"I was caught off guard, but I said, 'Why not?' Ron told how Jesus encouraged Peter to let down the nets, resulting in a windfall catch of fish.
"It was not one of the stories they asked us to bring, but it worked."
Like Peter, Ron and his fellow volunteers had to have faith that their stories have a purpose, even if they didn't see immediate results. He says the purpose of his trip was to begin to engage a people group so that he and others can go back to share again with the Guineans.
"Maybe one day the stories we tell will be the stories they tell to their people."
Only a move of God
The Baga Manduri people in Guinea are less than 10,000, with no written language. The interpreter traveling with Kevin C., Ron P. and Bob E. spoke several languages, but none that would be well understood by the Baga Manduri.
"How are we going to communicate?" Kevin remembers wondering. But in each of the three villages they visited, God provided someone who spoke another language their interpreter did know. The Americans told Bible stories in English, which were translated into Pular, and then interpreted again into the heart language of the people listening.
The chief of one village gave the group a unique opening. "I'm an old man," he said. "It's about time for me to step aside."
Kevin said, "I know a story about an old man. God had promised him descendants, but he didn't have any children."
As the chief listened along with the village imam and an elder, Kevin told the story of Abraham and Isaac. And he pointed them to Christ: Just as God provided a ram instead of requiring Abraham to sacrifice his son, He also provided a Lamb, Jesus, to pay our price.
"I finished the story, and they said thank you, and they all got up and left," Kevin remembers. He thought he had offended them. "I knew it could be a lightning rod story." What if they got run out of the village?
But they came back, carrying a bowl of oranges as thanks for the story. Before leaving the village, the Americans prayed that the people would have water during the current dry season. The chief, emotional, offered to give them money. The group's guide said he'd never seen that before.
In Guinea, Kevin said, only God can advance the Gospel. On previous international trips, he worked with local leaders and churches that had a plan for reaching their community. "But that's not the case in Guinea, because there is no local church, no local believers it can only be a move of God.
Do you know Carol?
Mark E. had spent several hours on a boat looking for the Mbotini people group. It was getting late, and the group would eventually have to turn around. But Mark had a good reason to find the Mbotini.
They were Carol's people.
Before his trip Mark talked to Carol, a member of an Illinois Baptist church, about the people group she and her church adopted several years ago. Carol had visited Africa's west coast. But still, it was surprising how many times Mark heard the question:
"Do you know Carol?"
From two missionaries and a local pastor, on the other side of the world.
"This Illinois Baptist is known in Guinea because she went there in representation of her church," Mark said.
He's hoping others will follow her example. The Southern Baptist International Mission Board is calling congregations to be "engaging churches" who will adopt an unreached, unengaged people group (UUPG) and send small teams several times a year.
Reaching unreached people groups will require a long-term investment. "This was my first mission trip I'd ever participated in that we didn't win anyone to the Lord," Mark said of his time in Guinea. Referencing William Carey, he said, "We forget that these hall of fame missionaries of the past spent years before they saw anyone come to the Lord."
When he joined the Illinois Baptist State Association's missions team, Mark said he had a goal to get as many Illinois Baptists to the mission field as possible. Now, "I'm thinking we need to get the Gospel where it's not."
'Truly, the workers are few'
One day, Bob E.'s group told Bible stories in the shade of a marketplace hut. It wasn't market day, but a group of men stopped to hear, asking why the Americans were there.
"We came to share God's Word."
One man seemed especially interested in the stories. Bob still remembers him because the man wore pink pants. He accompanied the group to their next two villages, riding in the front seat of their all-terrain vehicle.
Bob, who helps coordinate short-term mission trips, had noticed the phenomenon in other places they'd been: "At each village, there seemed to be one person that paid a bit more attention to the stories than the others."
The man in the pink pants could be a "man of peace," Bob said, someone who could be a first convert in this unreached, unengaged people group. The concept is an ancient one: In Luke 10, Jesus told the 70 disciples he sent out, "Whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace to this household.' If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you."
Sharing the Gospel here is precarious. There are many things you can't say on a first meeting, like "Jesus is the Son of God." Any talk of the Trinity likely would alienate their listeners, who believe in one God. But the people's appreciation for stories opened doors for the Illinois volunteers.
They didn't encounter any hostility, Bob said. And the villagers, who practice folk Islam, found common ground with the Americans when they told stories about God. They didn't even seem to mind hearing stories about Jesus.
But with the barriers between Christianity and Islam, can the storying method really work in Guinea among these people? Bob said yes, but the burden is on engaging churches to be committed to the process.
"Otherwise, it's not gonna get done. Truly, the workers are few."
And those who go must remember that God's Word is the most valuable thing they can share. "You must take it slow," Bob said of engaging people groups with the Gospel. "Be real and consistent in sharing God's Word.
"You can't promise anything you can't do, and can't start anything that can't be continued when you're gone."
Friends in high places
When you ask Harold B. what he's still thinking about several weeks after getting home, he tells the story of a village chief.
Guinean villages may have several layers of governance, including a chief, elders, and a religious leader, or imam. The particular chief was part of the Bijola, some of the friendliest and most hospitable people he had ever run across, said Harold, who was making his fifth trip to Africa.
"The chief was very open to us from the beginning. He definitely is a person of peace."
He graciously hosted the American visitors, even to the point of getting into trouble with his boss, the district chief, Harold said. Their host had decided to accompany the Americans as they told Bible stories one day. But he had been ordered to investigate a possible elephant sighting in another village.
When the district chief showed up to find out why he hadn't followed orders, the village chief could have been thrown in jail, Harold said. The group's interpreter helped to sort things out, and apologies were accepted.
"I just have to believe that the Lord is working in his spirit," Harold said of the chief. "He really put himself on the line for us."
The chief is what we in contemporary church culture would consider a seeker, Harold said. The group told around a dozen Bible stories, and the chief heard most of them. "I don't think he would have done the things he did if he were not curious and interested."
But what will capture his heart? It's people going back on a regular basis, and not just for the chief. His people are on the line, too, Harold said.
"If the village chief would ever accept the Lord, that just opens the door so much wider for the other people in the village."
And the harvest is plentiful.
"We told Bible stories in four different villages, and every one of them asked us to come back," Harold said. "And in two cases, the person that asked us to come back and tell more stories was the imam."

Lansley 'pleased' majority of doctors have maintained services
– Andrew Lansley, Health Secretary
In the run up to these strikes our objectivehas been to minimise disruption for patients. We asked doctors to recognisethat their quarrel was not with patients but with the Government. I am pleasedthat a significant majority of doctors have done just that and maintainedservices for their patients.
But let us not forget that the consequence ofthe BMA's decision to ask doctors to go on strike has been that thousands ofpatients who expected to have an operation or an appointment today have beeninconvenienced or distressed by delay to their care.

on real-izing
When I was playing around with titles for my book, I made a Wordle of the entire manuscript to see what words I used most often. I hoped inspiration might leap out at me from the word cloud. And here's what I saw:
The nouns leapt out at me first – God in the center (whew! at least I got that one right), work, love, time, church, mother, baby.
But I have a hunch that if I made a Wordle for this blog, it would be the verbs that would catch me: wonder, remember, imagine, realize.
Particularly that last one. Realize. I find that verb slipping into my posts more than any other. Sometimes I stop for a synonym. Sometimes I let it slide. Lately I've been embracing the abundance of realization.
Because this whole blog might be about precisely that.
. . .
Two things I try to do in this space: see truth and tell truth.
First, I try to notice. Good writing comes from open eyes and ears, heart and mind. I try to see the world around me through the lens that asks what is beautiful here? What is hard? Where is God? Being a mom affords plenty of interaction with all three questions.
So part of how I try to realize here is by witnessing and wondering about the everyday epiphanies. The moments that flash brightly with some slant I never saw before. The clearer view that lifts the veil from sluggish or selfish slouching through my day-to-day and invites me to hold my breath. The fresh light that glimmers on some flash of the holy I never expected to find.
To realize is to become fully aware. To understand more clearly. To learn. All of that is wrapped up in why I write, and – I hope – why you might read.
Second, I aim for honesty. For me, the emphasis in writing falls on the first syllable: real-ize. To speak my small truth, what I know of this one wild and precious life. And not to sugar-coat or to sour-puss, but to strike an honest balance between the hard and the beautiful.
Like every writer, I struggle with tone – is this piece too depressing? is this perspective too idealistic? Sometimes I second-guess whether I should tell the stories of the harder times and the darker days. But I always come back round to the idea of God being the Truth and God being the Word. The truer we try to make our words, the more they might reveal of where God can be found. I see this in so much of what I read, and I dare to hope I might try to find it in what I write.
To real-ize is to live fully within the life I am given. To not be afraid of the pain or ashamed of the joy.
. . .
This week I've been meditating on "realize" as I dove into Power of Moms' latest book, Motherhood Realized: An Inspiring Anthology for the Hardest Job You'll Ever Love.
In the essay I'm honored to have included in their collection, I wrote about picking green beans from our garden as a practice of gratitude. The piece winds around from our time of infertility to the fullness of life with two little boys underfoot. And when I think of the sharp contrast between aching for motherhood and "realizing" it, I see the fulfillment of a dream, the granting of a hope, the answer to a prayer that someday this calling would be part of my journey.
But in truth my experience of becoming a parent feels like less of an achievement and more of an invitation – to revere the gift, to release the expectations, to respect the enormity of the challenge, to remember the cost of the sacrifice. Realization is wrapped up more in awe and gratitude than easy embrace.
So I see the need to keep gathering those ordinary insights and everyday epiphanies along the way, the hard-fought ones and the grace-filled ones. I love that this book does exactly that: draws together the voices of many women who have truths to tell and stories to share about how motherhood has shaped them, even as its joys and sorrows brought them to their knees.
That is the role I hope realization continues to play in my life – to keep me open to wonder and humbled by how I am changed when I open myself up to love.
And if you're curious as I am about how others make sense of the deepest truths in their experience, I hope you'll check out Motherhood Realized. This piece by Katrina Kenison (whose writing I have long loved) sums up so much of what makes this book a beautiful collection:
"Heading Home with Your Newborn" might ease a new mom through the drama of giving birth and surviving the first few sleepless nights. But Motherhood Realized is a book that will live on bedside tables for years to come — well-thumbed, underlined, bookmarked, shared. Here are the personal stories of mothers just like you and me, not experts who have everything figured out or agendas to promote, but ordinary women who have seized time from their daily lives to report from the trenches of firsthand experience and who have summoned the courage to write from their hearts – the ups, the downs, the hard lessons learned, the small moments savored, the tears shed, the priorities reordered, the humble revelations celebrated, the inevitable challenges confronted.
. . .
This week I also have a new post at Catholic Mom about my latest Lenten realization. That all those 40 bags for 40 days I've been faithfully collecting for Goodwill? They might be more about me and mine than God or good spiritual practice. Gulp.
I looked again at the bags I'd gathered. Every last one contained the extras, the excess, the unused and the unwanted. It certainly wasn't the best I had to offer someone in need. All those prettier clothes were still hanging in closets. All those nicer plates and pans were still stacked in kitchen cabinets. All those well-made toys were still saved for my kids to enjoy.
Was my 40-day challenge really about giving to the least among us? Or about saving the best for me?
I'm grateful for this uncomfortable realization, even if it doesn't have a clean and tidy resolution. Good thing there's still plenty of Lent left to ponder.
. . .
Sometimes realization is about remembering what you had known but forgotten. Sometimes it's about discovering something entirely new and unexpected. I believe much of the spiritual journey is spent wandering back and forth between these two – the deepest truths we know and the mysterious realities we never suspected.
Maybe these two aspects of realize – the real and the realization – are the best of what blogging can bring. When someone shares from the particularities of their experiences to invite others to consider their own lives in a new light.
What do you think? Why do you blog, if you blog? Why do you read, if you read?
4 thoughts on "on real-izing"
First of all, I am so excited that you wrote a chapter in Motherhood Realized! Power of Moms is a great blog, and I'm really glad that they include your writing (on the blog and in the book). Also, thank you for introducing me to CatholicMom.com. I had heard of it before and probably even went on the website a few times, but I didn't realize that there were daily blogposts. I thought of it more as a resource to go to when looking for ideas such as liturgical activities for kids, etc. Through you I have discovered what a wonderful blog it is, and I now subscribe to it. I love getting the daily digest in my email, chock full of inspiring and informative articles.
I do not blog, in part due to my technical limitations. But I read a lot of blogs. In blogs, I look for inspiration and information primarily about motherhood and faith. It's very helpful to read about other mothers who struggle with issues similar to mine, and to read about new ways of handling these issues.
I love your idea to do a Wordle of your manuscript.. What a fascinating way to see where one's focus lies. (Though with two boys of the ages mine are now, I fear the word in the center of my blog would be "Fart" or "Poo in your pants", with which they seem to be obsessed these days).
For me, one of the greatest things about blogging has been connecting with people I wouldn't know otherwise. I've "met" so many great people (yourself included!) and I've even gotten to meet some of them in person. It has broadened my horizons in a way I wasn't expecting when I started blogging, and it's such a gift.

Evaluation of Nonlinear time-series models for real-time business cycle analysis of the Euro
AbstractIn this paper, we aim at assessing Markov-switching and threshold models in their ability to identify turning points of economic cycles. By using vintage data that are updated on a monthly basis, we compare their ability to detect ex-post the occurrence of turning points of the classical business cycle, we evaluate the stability over time of the signal emitted by the models and assess their ability to detect in real-time recession signals. In this respect, we have built an historical vintage database for the Euro area going back to 1970 for two monthly macroeconomic variables of major importance for short-term economic outlook, namely the Industrial Production Index and the Unemployment Rate.

856 graduate during 2005 commencement weekend
856 graduate during 2005 commencement weekend
May 21, 2005
Mercyhurst College will graduate 856 students – 666 from its Erie campus and 190 from North East – during commencement weekend May 21-22. Of those receiving degrees, approximately 741 students will walk in one of three scheduled commencement exercises.
The traditional pomp and circumstance for traditional-aged students will be showcased this year in an entirely new venue, the Louis J. Tullio Arena, 809 French St., on Sunday, May 22, at 2:30 p.m. The 2005 graduating class totals 531 students.
Besides Sunday's commencement, Mercyhurst celebrates the graduation of its adult and graduate students on Saturday, May 21, at 2:30 p.m. in the Mary D'Angelo Performing Arts Center. Of the 135 total graduates, 81 are receiving master's degrees from one of Mercyhurst's five graduate programs.
Also on Saturday, Mercyhurst North East graduates will receive associate degrees in a 1 p.m. commencement program at Liguori Fieldhouse on that campus. This year's graduating class totals 190 students.
With its largest graduating class in history, Mercyhurst faced the prospect of being unable to accommodate undergraduate students and their families in the 2,200-seat Warner Theatre, the venue of choice for the past 15 years. Thus, the administration, under the direction of college president Dr. Michael McQuillen, made the decision to relocate the Sunday graduation to the 5,000-seat Tullio Arena, familiar to many as the Erie Civic Center, enabling the college to offer families unlimited tickets for admission.
By request of the graduates, Mercyhurst will continue the traditional march up State Street that precedes Sunday's undergraduate commencement exercises. The students are expected to process from Boston Store Place south on State Street to East Ninth Street, where they will head east onto Ninth to the Tullio Arena.
During Sunday's graduation, the college's highest honor, the Carpe Diem Award, will be presented, along with the Bishop's Award for academic achievement.
In a special presentation, associate professor of English Paul Barry McAndrew will receive an honorary doctor of letters degree. McAndrew is retiring this year after an unprecedented career of 40 years on the lay faculty of Mercyhurst.

Betrayal in the Underworld Chapter 6Chapter 6Boys, Visions, and a Visit . . . It was a long day.I OPENED MY eyes to see Morgan's face way too close to mine. He quickly backed away with an apologetic look. I looked around and saw that I was in the nurse's office."Morgan, what am I doing here?" I asked."Claire carried you all the way down here. When you didn't return to class I came looking for you, but I found her instead. She just told me you passed out and that she brought you here, she wouldn't mention why. When I asked her what happened she gave me this look that made me think that I shouldn't ask questions." He told me. I guess she's on our side again."She probably didn't tell you because she didn't wana sound crazy." I said."So what did happen?" He asked."I'll tell you later." I said, because just then the nurse walked in."Oh! You're awake! How are you feeling dear?" She asked."I'm feeling ok, a little stiff but I'll be fine." I said while sitting up. Without thinking I checked my arms for any sign that the
Betrayal in the Underworld Chapter 5Chapter 5Jason KnowsI WOKE UP this morning feeling somewhat lost. I didn't know where I was at first, then I realized that I had fallen asleep on the couch and had fallen onto Morgan's lap. I sat up and looked over to see Morgan completely out. There was no waking that boy when he was asleep. When he's gone, he's gone. So I got up and went into the kitchen. I looked at the clock and it read 5:25 AM. Great, at least we didn't sleep in. I started to make eggs and bacon and it wasn't long before I heard Morgan stirring on the couch. Now the smell of food should get him moving.Sure enough, no sooner had I started putting food on plates when he just appeared out of nowhere right beside me."I smelled bacon!" Was the first thing out of his mouth. Next thing I know, he grabbed a plate and was running to the couch yelling back, "Thanks Maria! You're the best!" Oh Morgan, always thinking of his stomach.I grabbed my plate and walked into the living room to see Morgan on the couch, shoveling
Betrayal in the Underworld Chapter 4Chapter 4I talk to the god of MachinesIN THE END it really wasn't that hard to track down his house. I mean, all we had to do was sneak into the school office, find Mr. McBride's file, find his address, take it and sneak back out without being noticed. It was so easy it was weird, especially since I got this brown tent to my vision, which is new. Anyway, after we got the address, we were able to find directions to his house just as easily. The secretary was away from her desk so I quickly got on her computer, hacked the main code, and found my way to Google maps, printed off directions, and we were out of there before anyone could even suspect that information was being stolen.We easily found our way to the house. We are walking up the walk way to the door. Wait, I just saw something. Where am I? I'm on Olympus again. Only this time, Hephaestus was there speaking to Artemis."Wait!" I yelled out to Morgan who was almost at the door."What? Where? What's happening? Why are your eyes
Betrayal in the Underworld Chapter 3Chapter 3A friend gets EnlightenedTHE FIRST thing I did was run to Claire's house.I didn't know what else to do and she was the only person I could turn to that wouldn't think I'm crazy. Even if it was two in the morning. It also helped to know that her parents were out of town this weekend as well.When I got there I started banging on the door without thinking twice. I need to talk to her and I need to talk to her now! That was my only thought. When she answered the door she gave me a look between annoyance and complete concern for a friend. She looked like she was about to say something but she stopped when she saw my eyes glowing gold. She let me in and I went straight to her living room and sat on the couch. She joined me and the explanation began.I told her all about my dream and right when I was coming to the part about Zeus mentioning me by name, she stopped me."Whoa whoa whoa, are you trying to tell me that you have the powers of the gods? Like, the ones we learn about in
Betrayal in the Underworld Chapter 2Chapter 2I get a DreamI ENDED up walking home because, well, my ride disappeared. I didn't realize I was still carrying the nerf gun. That's right, the weapon that destroyed my imagination was a nerf gun. It didn't even have any bullets! I say it was my imagination because that's what I want so bad for it to be. But in reality, that was just too real and elaborate to be my imagination. Anyway, I got home, realized that I was carrying a nerf gun, put it on the coffee table, got ready and went to bed.Right now it's eight o'clock Sunday morning. I really need to get that paper done. What was it on again? Something about Kronos. . . ? Wait, did the phone just ring?"Hello?" I answered in a daze."Hey, Maria, you're up! Great! Hey, so me and Claire and Bailey are heading down to the river , wana come?""Morgan? The river?" I can only ask questions."Yes it's me! And yes the river. You know, the Ohio River? We're taking my parents boat out for a ride! Well, one of my parents' boats. Anywa
Betrayal in the Underworld Chapter 1Chapter 1Beginnings"MARIA! Get up! You'll be late for school!" My mom yelled down the hall."Alright mom! I'm up! I'm up!" I yell back.Hi, I'm Maria Chase. I'm sixteen years old. I just had my birthday yesterday! I'm so happy! I can drive now! Well, as long as a parent or guardian is in the front seat with me and has their driver's license with them, but it's still driving! Anyway, that lady that was just calling down the hall is my mom. She is amazing!Her name is Rosemary Chase. She has short, black hair that spikes up in the back. She dyes the front red to hide the gray hair, but I don't see her as old. She has a round, kind face. She's very laid back and, like, my best friend. I can tell her anything. Well, almost.My dad is pretty cool too, until he intentionally embarrasses me. His name is Peter Chase. He shaves his head to hide his gray hair. He's fun to hang around with. He has a big sense of humor. Almost everything is a joke with him. I can tell him almost anything too.I

Natures Veins.
Once I had a vision,
That a few out of the billion,
I will be less liken,
I know that, for this there is a reason,
Whitin my veins, there nothing else flowing but pure poison.
Everytime when I look at my vein,
I get the feeling that it shall rain,
Is Mother once again in pain?
I hope that she will be able to regain,
The strength that once was Hers to contain.
When I meditate,
I always wait,
Until our Mother opens the gate,
So we can date,
Her company is so great.
Her whispers move our life,
Her sight keeps us alive,
Her tears forge us to survive,
She is the Mother which will help the children to revive.
Keep Calm,
Keep a Calm Mind within the Self,
Clean the Self from the Wall.
Walls of Madness, Walls of Sadness, Walls of... Nothingness,
Doubt, Fear, Pain an Suffering,
Why do We claim these to be ours?
Hours pass, Life is less,
The World is a fragile glass, what do you expect?
A broken half, or a broken paragraph?
Modern days now come to the Past,
Nearly no one holds a book,
Everyone downloads, believes and they are on a digital hook.
Children of all ages, go on the streets naked,
With a digital mind in there hands, begging for a normal life,
Hollow look on the parents faces, yells out NO!
Speak, Yell, Shout and Whisper, words which meaning we do not own,
Yet we use them as are our own,
Claim your life, and see it dying by the night, because you are nothing more than a dark spot within the darkness, praying for Light.
Granted, Gifted, Special, Above Average,
Mocking people with these,
Look in the mirror please, are you pleased?
Humanity declares,
Animals fear,
Humanity conquers.
Ever felt homesick?
I did, many and many times,
When I gaze at the stars.
Ever felt that you are not human?
I did, every time when I gaze at the mirror,
And I start to think, from where did I come if I'm an outsider?
Ever felt the sensation that nobody understands you?
I did, every day when I go for a walk,
But I don't understand why do we get so much hatred and judgment?
Ever felt that everyone is against you?
I did, when I look in someone's eye,
I see the bullet flying by.
Ever felt emotions?
I did, but I think I shouldn't had,
Because, that is out of the ordinary when it comes to mental health.
Ever felt alone?
I did, but I realized that sometimes it's better not to be alone,
So I accepted and brought sacrifices.
Ever felt Nature?
I did, the Pain is unbearable,
Even for humans.
Ever felt the Humans cry?
This is the only thing I never did,
Cause I know that only my flesh is human, but not my origin.
So I ask again,
Ever felt Homesick?
I think, now you might wan' a think about it!
Mothers Spirit.
Look at them, all dressed up fancy,
Look at them, all driving angry,
Look at them, all live in worry,
Still one of them comes and asks me,
Why are you so sad and crying Mommy?
I shade my last tear upon this land, and whisper once again,
Do not worry my child, I shall land,
On the ground I shall stand,
While meditating, I shall show a dreamland,
To all of you my children who are within my hand.
When I shall be born,
My roots and branches shall be your new home,
Giving birth to a new world,
In which all of you will be able to become old,
And together we shall be Natures Newborn.
Mother, I am your child.
Look at me, caged for nine months like an animal,
When I am released I am covered in blood, in my Mother's blood.
Look at me, Look at us, we are raised by technology,
And you have the nerve to judge us, you the one who has a family.
You might say that we are different,
But we are made from the same parts,
Bodies, Souls and Hearts.
When I am born,
I always see a closed door,
Who left it open?
Why did you left me alone?
Who left me outside?
Why did you left me to...die?
Father, you supposed to be by my side,
Mother, you supposed to heal my life,
Yet none of you were never here, both of you were just lies.
we are born to be broken,
But I will not leave that to happen,
Not to me, not to you, not to no one.
We are born to be a slave,
That is why we live in a cave,
But I will soon leave,
And everyone is welcomed who wish to achieve and change.
You might call me a rebel,
But isn't this type which made history?
Many where rebels,
And you Teach, Hear, See and Learn their words,
So who are
Hy, Hello and Namaste,
Is anybody out there?
I would like to say a prayer!
Why wouldn't anybody listen?
My words are also golden.
And I think it speaks out for all the billion.
My words are full of Love, Light and Joy,
And I know you do not like to listen nor do you enjoy,
Rather you would like to destroy.
And this makes me sad,
That you deny that you are mad,
When I see you are bad.
Now at the end,
I hope that one day you will ascend,
And you will no longer depend.
Nature is how I am named,
And with power I have came.
Hear me Shout,
And the ground shall Sprout.
Watch me as I shad Tears,
Until your precious cities shall fall in Fears.
Make me feel Sadness,
And I assure you that my storms will bring you Madness.
If I fall in Anger,
The world will burn in Fire.
Now at the End,
I showed you I do not Depend.
So please keep me Clean,
Because I like this planet Green.
A door had opened in my consciousness and I realized that "Life itself is like the one, it has doors. First door is the Past. Second door is the Present. Third door is the Future. And the forth door is Nature."
Many years have passed until I managed to realize that everything have changed in this, what we call Life. No matter how hard we try, we will never gone be able to change our past but there is hope to change the future, because there is one thing that is for sure beside death, and that is that the future always changes, we are the ones who make the future, so why not draw a beautiful landscape or write an inspiring story. I think we should try it at least and after that we can say we tried our best instead of saying why change it?
It has been a while since I wrote, but know I would like to share another story once more. It's about Nature and its life. I hope this short story will help you a little in the drawing or writing.
The year is unknown because there is nobody and nothing
Our Hearts Scars.
You are the one, who will collect the sand,
I will be the one, who will collect the water.
Together we will put it, fix it all together.
Our heart is filled with scars,
Our heart is broken in parts,
But with sand and water it starts,
We will make our Heart shine above,
Our names will be written in the stars,
And our Love will be seen by other Hearts.
Bits of feelings,
Aligned by two rings,
Helped us to spread wings,
Giving to our life new meanings.
Our heart is still filled with scars,
Yet it is no longer broken in parts,
And we are each other's Sweethearts.
Weeds of HumanityThere was a town deep in the woods, far from every other cities and villages of the world. They were always happy and satisfied with the things they had. The town was built around a big field where the community together could raise plants they needed. Each year when the time comes, the villagers went to the filed, worked on, and at harvest time, all of them took only the amount they really needed.
But the time passed, and once at harvest time a greedy man took more than he would have needed. The villagers didn't take it bad, they forgave and behave as nothing would happen. This behavior also wasn't a good example to the other people... Next year, that man repeated the same mistake. So than some people said "How is this possible? We work for only what we need, and then the other takes the fruit of our work too? What about us? About our wealth and survivor?" - So this way, other people started to take more and more for themselves too.
Next year, the half of the village lived happ

McDonald's is working with IBM and its Business Partner, Knowledge Dimension, to transform the way its almost 200 restaurants and 8000 employees communicate and collaborate, thereby helping the company communicate and operate more effectively. McDonald's will begin transforming into a social enterprise to help geographically dispersed employees to communicate more effectively, sharing ideas that will allow them to deliver exceptional customer service.
Established in South Africa in November 1995, this market is considered one of the most successful markets for McDonald's international and initially opened 30 restaurants in just 23 months. The company has trained and employed almost 8000 South Africans at various levels, including franchisees, restaurant managers and crew.
"With our intended aggressive expansion plans – growing the number of restaurants by approximately 25 restaurants a year – improved communications is undoubtedly a business imperative," says Greg Solomon , Managing Director for McDonald's South Africa. "Equipping our employees with a social network to improve communication is critical in helping us fulfill our brand promise to customers for quality, service, cleanliness, and value."
Challenged by having to communicate across this vastly dispersed organisation, the company sought a more effective way to reach every one of their crew, driving engagement and collaboration across the system.
"The company's 'Engagement with our People' initiative kick started in 2011, intended to implement processes and tools between head office, Owner Operators (Franchisees), restaurant managers and crew (employees) to increase productivity, improve decision-making and achieve measurable business results has been hugely accelerated with this solution, giving management and staff a new way of interacting, collaborating and sharing information and expertise," says Gary Swale, Director, Business Development, Knowledge Dimension.
McDonald's SA is currently using IBM Connections and IBM Sametime instant messaging software to support internal communication and training requirements across their branch network.
The McDonald's crew (staff at restaurant level) will access the platform via an innovative, first-to-market in South Africa, mobile solution, supplemented by in-restaurant touch screen docking stations. This phase is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2013.
"McDonald's decision to embrace social business is pioneering and is reflective of the need to find smarter ways of working," says Alistair Rennie , general manager, social business, IBM. "McDonald's is taking a purposeful approach, using social technologies to engage employees, empower customers and drive organizational performance to secure a competitive advantage."
The agreement with McDonald's was signed in late 2012.

Alberni man charged with attempted murder
One man is in hospital recovering from stab wounds and another charged with attempted murder after a stabbing in Port Alberni on Wednesday.
At 12:40 a.m. on Wednesday, police found a 27-year-old Port Alberni man suffering from chest wounds in an alley in the 4500 block of Burde Street, an RCMP news release noted.
The man was transported to West Coast General Hospital, and later airlifted to hospital in Victoria. The man is recovering from surgery and is expected to make a full recovery, RCMP Cpl. Colin Banks said.
RCMP later arrested and charged Port Alberni resident Jonathan Durocher, 31, in connection with the incident. Durocher was identified by witnesses at the scene and was arrested at his residence one block away without incident. He is appearing in Port Alberni Provincial Court on Thursday.
The victim and Durocher know each other, and both are known to police, Banks said.
If anyone witnessed the crime or can provide further information about it, they are asked to contact the local detachment at 723-2424 or contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS.
Updated to reflect arrest, as well as where victim was flown to.

This grant is funding the Workforce Advancement through Geriatric Education (WAGE) Training program: The multidimensional care and knowledge needed to assist the aging population in optimizing and maintaining their health status requires expertise and continued education for all levels of health care providers.
Older adults, who are living longer with multiple health problems (many of which are chronic) are requiring more health care. This unique NYIT program focuses on increasing the geriatric expertise and competency level of licensed nurses and paraprofessionals who are caring for the aging population.
Advance your career with knowledge about caring for older adults in a fast-track, innovative, 20 hour continuing education geriatric program at no cost to participants.
For details, visit the NYIT Department of Nursing website here.
Starting Date: Sept. 30, 2011
End date: Sept. 29, 2016
This five-year project focuses on training Family Physicians in geriatrics and educational methodologies so that they can help create a large body of instruction on geriatric topics and to meet the following primary local and national needs for physicians able to provide effective care for the elderly:
To attain these objectives, we will extensively use a train-the-trainer approach to train Family Medicine medical school faculty and Family Medicine hospital and clinic attending physicians in educational methodology and geriatrics curriculum development and delivery (including technological methods). These trainees will then participate in the development of learning modules of geriatric content. People who create educational materials learn the material very well in addition to making it available to others. Trainees will then enhance the geriatrics-oriented curriculum for medical students and Family Medicine residents through lectures, small group teaching, self-instructional modules, and technology-based methods, foster team-based care for the elderly, and train medical students to improve the skills of informal caregivers of the elderly. Print modules will be developed for all content; these will be rigorously evaluated and, after any modifications, will be converted to PowerPoint and video (DVD) presentations for lecture, self-instruction and distance learning. The trained faculty will share their knowledge of geriatrics with classes of 300 students per year.
For question or comments, please contact David Yens at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride said Eli Manning has been throwing "lightly" the past two days. But like the debate about whether Manning has a "separated" or "sprained" shoulder, "lightly" is a subjective term.
According to one player, Manning was throwing 50-yard passes on the side yesterday as the rest of his teammates practiced.
"I wouldn't say he was throwing 'lightly,'" said the player, who requested anonymity because the team isn't supposed to talk about practice. "He was throwing pretty far."
The player said Manning threw two sessions of about 10 passes yesterday before icing his shoulder and watching Jared Lorenzen lead the starting offense for the rest of practice. The player said those sessions started with short passes and gradually increased to the point where Manning was lobbing balls from midfield into the end zone.
It's not entirely clear how accurate Manning's passes were or how hard he was throwing because practice is closed to the media after individual drills are complete. Manning's throwing session took place after reporters were escorted off the field.
It's also unclear if Manning's deep balls are an indication he is closer to playing on Sunday against the Packers, though one person who spoke with Manning yesterday seemed encouraged.
"He sounded pretty good and optimistic," said the person, who requested anonymity because injury information is supposed to be provided by the team. "I think he is of the mind-set that if everything goes how he thinks it will over the next couple of days that he will play."
Coach Tom Coughlin said it will probably be a game-time decision.
It'll also be a late call today when Manning decides if he'll practice.
"I don't know. We'll see how it feels when I wake up in the morning and go from there," Manning said after practice yesterday. When asked how he was feeling, Manning said, "I'm feeling better -- better than I did on Monday and Tuesday. So that is the good news.
"I'm improving but still have some work to do."
If Manning doesn't practice today, that means he'll have had no physical work in preparation for a tough Green Bay defense.
"It's not the preferred method of preparation," Gilbride said. "But I think he is so into it mentally and he has thrown all of the routes so many times that if physically he was able to do it, I think he could go and perform.
"I don't know if he would be at his best, obviously, but I think he could perform well enough."
A major concern is how much Manning is missing by sitting out practice all week. As Gilbride mentioned, the fourth-year quarterback is familiar with the offense, which hasn't changed much despite Gilbride's taking over for John Hufnagel late last season.
"There's always the core (of the offense) and you try to do the core as much as you can and then you try to camouflage it and tweak it a little bit to adapt to what your opponent is doing," Gilbride said. "I would say two-thirds to three-quarters of the offense is going to be there week-to-week."
Ah, week-to-week. The now-infamous phrase that's been kicked around by reporters all week as many have tried to guess when Manning will be back.
One thing's for sure as far as Manning is concerned: It won't be a month or longer.
"On Monday, I heard the (out-for-a-month) report," he said. "I don't really know where that came from. I knew it wasn't going to be that long."
Will it be only a few days? Truth is, nobody knows yet.
"He said, 'I'll tell you when I know,'" Lorenzen said of Manning.
In the meantime, Lorenzen has continued to prepare as if he's going to be the starter. And according to the player who provided the information on Manning's throwing session, the game plan hasn't been simplified and Gilbride will call for several shots down the field -- even if it's Lorenzen, not Manning, tossing balls half the length of the field.
"I am a little bit more comfortable," Lorenzen said. "I just need to sit here and watch more film and start spitting it out, understanding, and watching more film of them and what they do.
"The confidence comes. There are definitely a lot more plays today that I was more confident in than yesterday."
