Children Benefit From $47,352
Raised at 2013 Special Preview Night!
- Toronto Star Fresh Air Fund – "This tremendous donation will help The Toronto Star Fresh Air Fund support 103 camps and allow as many as 25,000 underprivileged and special needs children enjoy an unforgettable camp experience," says Barb Mrozek, Director, Toronto Star Charities and Philanthropy. "We are truly grateful for the hard work and efforts put into this event to help give children a memory that will last a lifetime."
- Ontario Sailing: Able Sail, Access BOOM Program – Travelling around the province with a trailer of specially designed Australian Access Dinghies, the mobile Access BOOM sailing program makes the opportunity to sail possible for children and young adults dealing with disabilities. With a well-designed weighted dagger board ensuring they will not capsize, the boats each accommodate one to two participants. "This year's generous support of Special Preview Night means we can start the process to order another one or two boats to help replenish our aging fleet," says Glenn Lethbridge, Executive Director, Ontario Sailing. As boats must be ordered from overseas, taxes, duty and transportation can drive costs up to about $10,000 each.
- CNIB Lake Joe Summer Camp – "This generous donation enables CNIB Lake Joseph Centre to provide additional waterfront programming for children and youth with vision loss," says Ryan Chin, CNIB, Manager, Community Giving. "Each summer, hundreds of people who are blind or partially sighted have an opportunity to participate in waterfront programs such as pontoon boat rides, fishing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, and water tubing. This tremendous support allows CNIB to empower more children and youth with the skills, confidence and opportunities they need to fully participate in life and, above all, to have fun on the water!"

Williams celebrates 100th birthday
If I had been born at another day and time, I wouldn't be here to pay tribute to my mother, Emma Louise Williams.
I also wouldn't be around to (when I go over to give her a bath) see her big toothless smile and hear her say, "Hey Baby Dear" (the name she calls me).
I wouldn't be able to see the covers she has folded around her waist thinking they are an apron full of turnip greens that she has picked for dinner.

BW: I think Stanzi is a guy who the Chiefs will consider. They are going to work out TCU's Andy Dalton, so that's an indication the Chiefs are looking for a young quarterback. Stanzi could be a nice option and could be drafted later than Dalton. He is a strong leader who has some skills. He could be a good project and can learn from Matt Cassel.

So we again accept Mike Vrabel's suggestion that the union's executive committee meet with our negotiating team, including Jerry Richardson, Robert Kraft and Jerry Jones, to resume bargaining. If Mike will let us know when and where he and his colleagues would like to meet, we will be there. We are ready."

Hagans, a former Hampton High quarterback who helped the Crabbers win the 1998 Group AAA Division 5 state championship before going on to become a two-year starting quarterback at U.Va., was hired this week to be a graduate assistant for coach Mike London at U.Va. Hagans has a lot to learn in the profession, having just finished up a five-year NFL career that saw him primarily hop from practice squad to practice squad as a wide receiver or emergency quarterback with the St. Louis Rams (2006 and '07), Kansas City Chiefs ('08), Indianapolis Colts ('08) and Washington Redskins ('08 to '10).

To pay or not to pay
Filed under: Uncategorized
Strong and dynamic societies need a plurality of institutional forms to flourish. But that plurality is not best served by preserving those forms in aspic. They need to modernise while maintaining their most important distinguishing features.
Over the last few years I have been approached by head-hunters asking me to put my name forward to chair a charity. Some approaches haven't interested me but a couple have, partly because of an enthusiasm for the charity, but also because I felt that there would be some synergies with my role at the RSA. But further conversation about the options has stopped abruptly when I have asked whether the charity would reimburse the RSA for my time.
Other than for charities which have specific permissions, the process to reimburse trustees (or their employer) is bureaucratic and few charities are willing to consider it. Thus the invitation to chair the board would require either that I reduce my contracted hours at the RSA or that the RSA effectively subside another charity by paying me for the two or three days a month required at minimum to be an effective chair. As I have now been approached and have refused on several occasions, I have been reflecting on the pros and cons of trustee remuneration.
In a thoughtful and authoritative speech at the RSA last week Dan Corry, chief executive of New Philanthropy Capital, challenged the third sector to address its problem with low productivity.
As Dan said, governance is clearly an issue. Without the services of unpaid volunteer trustees (like those of the RSA Board) the third sector could not function. However, the combination of voluntarism and the cumbersome nature of much governance can undoubtedly be impediments to charities being as focussed and productive as they should be. One result is that innovation in philanthropic organisation is largely taking place through new forms which are either explicitly private sector (for profits with social purpose) or which are closer in their governance to the private sector than traditional third sector governance (social enterprises).
It is an important responsibility of the executives and boards of charities to take opportunities to modernise governance arrangements. This isn't easy: governance reform not only risks distracting leaders from the core purposes of the organisation but can cause controversy and act as a catalyst for various groups opposed to the direction taken by the charity to organise a revolt. Trustee compensation might be an important dimension of modernisation.
Eighteen months ago civil society minister Nick Hurd rejected a proposal arising from a review of charity governance by Lord Hodgson to make it easier for charities to pay trustees. In doing so the minister was siding with two of the peak third sector organisations (NCVO and NAVCA) against a third (ACEVO).
The argument against remuneration has various elements: first, that there is no problem to be answered; charities can and do find good trustees willing to work hard for nothing. Second, it is argued that the public – on whom charities rely for legitimacy and income – would be opposed to trustee remuneration. Finally, there is concern that allowing some large charities to remunerate trustees would be the thin end of the wedge, leading to an expectation that all charities should pay and also to an escalation in payment of the kind we are all too used to in the private sector.
These are all legitimate arguments although the second and third could be substantially addressed by having strict limits on the scale and scope of remuneration. When it comes to the quality of trustees those advocating more scope for remuneration should be clear that wanting to expand the pool of available talent is not an implicit criticism of those currently performing the role. The RSA has a strong Board and a great (unremunerated) Chair in Vikki Heywood but that doesn't stop me being an advocate of greater freedom to compensate trustees. Let me explain why.
The potential risks of trustee compensation need to be stacked up against the consequences of not doing so. First, this does obviously reduces the pool of potential trustees and chairs of trustees and introduce a strong bias towards older, retired or semi-retired, members. Second, it means that any working trustee who takes on the role will feel considerable pressure to try to keep their trustee commitments to the minimum because of the uncompensated impacting on their day job. Third, it makes it less likely that senior executives in one charity could be trustees of another even though performing both roles might increase understanding and the sharing of good practice between executives and trustees in each organisation and across the sector as whole. Fourth, the block on remuneration may be a factor leading to more business-like new charitable forms being preferred to ones which involve democratic forms of accountability
It is this last point that concerns me most. Membership voice and democratic accountability are important aspects of the charitable sector and its contribution to civil society. But unless we do all we can to make these forms modern and effective, they may wither away in favour of social businesses. Those who oppose reforms such as making it easier to compensate working trustees are in danger of protecting the purity of one model of governance at the expense of that whole model becoming marginalised.

A really important discussion and one we need to be more realistic and less sentimental about if the third sector is to thrive.
Many third sector organisations are major service providers. It makes no sense to me that you can be on the board of a service provider with a turnover of tens of millions but not be entitled to any remuneration, whereas you can sit on a health board (or for that matter be a local councillor) and be remunerated quite generously. The current arrangements are simply outdated.
I have served on third sector boards for many years. Even with the flexibility offered by a good employer it can be an onerous task, particularly if the organisation is experiencing problems.
On the plus side, for me and my employers, serving as a board member offers significant advantages in terms development that couldn't be learnt from a text book.
And arguably if you're a third sector chief executive, as I am, experience of board membership is vital in order to understand the complexities and sensitivities of good governance.
The argument around increasing the diversity of third sector boards is very important. At 53 I am one of the younger members on both the boards I sit on, one of which I chair. That's typical and it needs to change.
Great post Matthew. If you are developing this argument to remunerate trustees further, could you also extend it to include boards of governors at schools, many of which will be standalone institutions rather than in academy chains (and with tight budgets already dominated by staffing costs)?
I increasingly see the bias towards those not in full-time employment in the activity of governors, particularly as the accountability measures for schools become ever more challenging and pressing.
Yes, the school governor point is exactly the one that came to my mind. I've seen the same trend – and now governing bodies are to be re-constituted, by autumn 2015, to be slimmer. So less people taking on the same responsibility.
A very interesting issue. The large daytime committees, I've attended and been part of, have mostly been composed of volunteers. The members of the committee, council or board, are usually retired, or self-employed, or are in full employment, but attending with the permission of their employer. The chair is a volunteer, but the administration side is composed of paid staff. It seems logical that a charity hoping to gain the expertise of someone working for another should approach the board and offer to reimburse the cost of the days lost, if they are agreeable to 'lend' the expert. I cannot see how they can request the services of an experienced employed person and assume that he/she is prepared, if necessary, to lose money. If they do not wish to pay, they should organise the meeting outside working hours and rely on the volunteering spirit. However, I doubt the sort of highly experienced people I've seen attending committees and contributing a great deal, would have the time. So if a charity wants expert input, they should reimburse. After all no one is making money out of it, they are just not losing it. I've chaired a small town council in my time, and other area meetings, and no one got paid, except for, in the case of the council, minimal expenses. Spreading funding for trustees more generally than Matthew's example, such as school governors, would be complicated, but there does seem an argument to be made. I don't accept funding in my own work, but I'm completely atypical; and will follow this issue with interest.

When Chuy Benitez began work on his contribution to Race & Class, the latest group exhibit at Project Row Houses, the El Paso-born photographer decided to look at those issues from a 360-degree angle. Benitez took leaders of Houstons Latino community, leaders of what he calls Houstons cultura, and photographed them from both the front and the back. He then put the images side-by-side to create a group of well-rounded portraits.
Each person captured in the series chose a location that was significant for their work. For example, Tony Diaz, founder of Nuestra Palabra: Latino Writers Having Their Say, chose the George R. Brown Convention Center, home to the hugely successful Latino Book and Family Fair that Diaz and his organization brought to Houston. See work by Benitez and several other artists from noon to 5 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays. 2521 Holman. For information, call 713-526-7662 or visit www.project-rowhouses.org. Free.

Welcome Visitors.A different creative genius who tends to make a difference in many ways!
Creativity is one of the greatest qualities any of us can be blessed with, yet many never leave their true creativity to be extracted. Creativity is the routine of turning new and imaginative thoughts into reality. Creativity is characterized by the ability to perceive the world in different ways, to find hidden patterns, to create connections between ostensibly unrelated phenomena, and to bring forth solutions. Creativity is more than merely being different.
"A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown."
-Denis Waitley
"Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness."
-Martin Luther King, Jr.

Final Project Proposal "Making Things"
Looking through my Dashboard I saw these posts about information design and it made me remember the Sense and the City Exhibit. I actually forgot to take a picture of this section. (The only one I probably forgot to take a picture of). And anyways, in my Final project I intend to use the information about the Harry Potter Brand book publishing and book facts to create concept book covers for the series.
EX: How the planes taking off and leaving from the different airports makes a light map constantly changing.
For my project I want to take the number of books sold with different covers in different covers and integrate it into the art piece produced for the book jacket.
i.e. Let's say in England there were 20 million copies sold, and in America 80 million copies sold (not accurate) use those numbers to create an interesting art piece with its roots in information.
Also another direction for the information design, taking the four main theme colors from the book series (Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Slytherin) to create another book cover. Something fans of the book would immediately recognize.
Keeping in mind the way in which Penguin Book Publishing uses unifying typefaces and placement of the author's name to keep a theme running throughout all the covers.
(Source: aiblondonjethier)
Penguin Publishing is a world known book company that has revolutionized the way in which classic and modern books are consumed by the public. The logo of the penguin is a universal identifier that independent of the books content is immediately recognizable. In a similar way the Harry Potter American brand has been synonymous with the series and all other products relating to the books and movie/spin-off products. Both the penguin and the type have become icons for their respective design identities and help propel the brand into the awareness of the public.
The above was an experimental model layout done by Jan Tsichold in 1948 for the penguin books layout. It uses a simple orange border on the top and bottom, along with bold and light weight typefaces. Put the penguins on the bottom and horizontally turned type on the sides and the cover was easily recognizable. Even now, when the book covers have become modernized this is still recognized by those who know of the company.
The same way in which these Harry Potter covers utilize a blank canvas and yet a simple illustration along with plain and clear heading I intend to use similar techniques for my final project. Simplifying the brand Harry Potter to its core elements and drawing inspiration from Henry Beck's original Tube map I want to utilize color and and informational aspects to create alternative Harry Potter book covers.
This exhibit was labeled "Hidden Heroes" and it was one of the Temporary Exhibits at the museum. You actually had to pay a fee to see these pieces. It reminded me of the Design Exhibition at the Design Museum in that all of the projects inside were created for a functional purpose. The difference is they were everyday things that we (as consumers) use in our every day lives. Showcasing the work of 36 designs that affect our lives it ranged from post-it notes to tape. Facial tissue to paperclips and little tid bits in between. Within it were some curious examples of typefaces. The paperclip alphabet and the clothespins skin alphabet as well. It was inspiring and engaging to see all the small things that one might not pay attention to unless directed to. Rubber bands and tin cans just other examples of design that creep their way flawlessly into our (consumers) lives. The labels on the outside of the tin cans was antique and curious to look at.
11:30am - Late breakfast
12:00noon - Leave to meet the group at the Victoria and Albert Museum
12:50pm - Get lost for about 45 minutes
1:30pm - Arrive at the Victoria and Albert
Since I got lost I got to the museum late and missed our class meeting together to go through it. I decided to just explore the museum and see what caught my attention. It intrigued me how many people were comfortable hanging out near the carved sculptures. Maybe it was the illusion that there were more people in the room that made other people hang out.
I walked into the bookstore wondering if I might stumble across a classmate here. No such luck but some fabulous books on actors and artists were here.
Stained glass windows are a favorite of mine. Elegant and beautiful they're just so intricately put together. I also found some good examples of typographic origins actually imprinted in the glass.
3:45pm - Leave the Victoria and Albert
4:00pm - Arrive at the Science Museum
This museum of science puts the Boston one to shame. I mean the depth of this museum alone is fabulous. Not only is it free but it has 6 floors. This goes a long way to show how the government and education system is different in England. Knowledge is a free commodity that can be consumed by the public. And it's not just the same material recycled over and over again, there are permanent exhibits and there are temporary ones that change throughout the season.
I REALLY enjoyed these pieces. They're a strange spin off on Information design. Each "picture" addresses a certain topic after World War Two in a way that's engaging, elusive and in some ways confusing but still challenges the concept of how do you (as a designer) "convey" information. Is there a "right" and a "wrong" way?
(Pictures and text in another post)
6:00pm - Leave the Science Museum
7:30pm - A Midsummer's Night Dream at the Lyric Theater
A modernized sci-fi version of Shakespeare's play. Quite entertaining and yet still rather confusing. What happened to Liam? I wonder if he ever did make it out of that elevator…
9:30pm - Head home
Before heading back to the hotel I got dinner at a restaurant close by. While waiting for my dinner to arrive I noticed the layout of their menu selections. It was so clever! And hardly noticeable unless one was paying attention. The lunch, breakfast and dessert menus were all separate but the same design was used on all of them (with descending height orders) so that when put all together lined up it appeared to be part of the same cover.
10:00pm - Late Dinner at Garfunkel's Restaurant
12midnight - Sleep
Some more examples of different cover designs. Notice the completely white background. Along with the simple illustration. A cursive typeface used at the top and italics for the book title. How many different variations of the book series are there?
12:00noon - Meet class at Train station to go to Vaughn Oliver's home
1:00pm - Arrive at Vaughn Oliver's home
While visiting with Vaughn he spoke a lot on what it means to be a graphic designer. He uses a hands on approach to constructing his pieces. You have to be in touch with your audience and while a lot of the modern profession has moved towards computer he still prefers a more hands on approach. Not to say he doesn't work with a computer but he tries to get away from a computer screen in order to "see" better. It is this "seeing" that is most important.
4:00pm - Leave
After leaving Vaughn Oliver's home I stumbled across this in the tube. It showed how much the Harry Potter Mania has infected the British population.
6:00pm(ish) - Get dinner with the group at Zizzi's restaurant
7:45pm(ish) - Walk to the Tate Modern and explore
Each piece within the various exhibits had its own energy. The rock target made a sort of symmetry to nature and balance.
While the red staircase was overwhelming and encompassing. The white fluorescent light eclipsed by the shear and yet slightly opaque red material that extended throughout the entire room this piece was held in. One would feel dwarfed coming across this.
Industrial and hard these sculptures would hang down above you and almost dare you to touch them.
While a lot of these exhibits didn't relate directly to the kind of design I was working on for my project I see it as all connected. Whatever tools you train your eyes to see with takes inspiration from various sources. To be a graphic designer you have to see with the sharp eye of a photographer. The finite detail of a painter. The acuity of an illustrator. The patience of an animator. To be a graphic designer is to be an artist. You use all your skills to make up a piece that is both stimulating and communicative.
A political statement about the ratio of women artists around the time of Andy Warhol done by the Guerrilla Girls.
10:00pm - Tate Modern closes
12midnight - Sleep
9:00am - Breakfast
10:00am - Take the Tube to Waterstone's bookstore
10:20am - Arrive at Waterstone's
While in the store I found many different variations of the Harry Potter book series. It seems in these Adult Cover versions the "Harry Potter" tag line is more subtle and the Title of the book along with the dark, dreary book picture lends itself to a more adult audience. Giving more of a "feeling" associated with the content of the book.
The adult book covers seem in harsh comparison with the children's section of the popular book series. Bright, simple colors are used to catch the eye. Green bean bags are laid around the children's section to invite kids to sit down and open the book. While still produced by the same company Bloomsbury both covers have a radically different feel to them. Older or younger audiences will respond differently to each design.
Still part of the children's section this book cover relies on an even simplified version of the children's book cover. A blocked out illutraion outline in gold and HARRY POTTER printed across the top. It relies on the brand awareness to be the major selling point of the book.
11:30am - Leave bookstore
Before heading to the Design Council meeting the group decided to stop by a Design bookstore. It was a small niche like space but quickly filled up with many visitors along with our class to make an almost claustrophobic feeling. There I stumbled upon more Penguin pictures. A product that had reduced 100 Penguin book covers down to postcards. I was intrigued at this new way in which to get brand awareness out into the world.
Sense and the City Exhibit. While walking through and seeing the dynamic maps they created I found a little piece of my own project. Turns out the Penguin Paperbacks books were created in 1935 by Allen Lane and V.K. Krishna Menon who both just wanted to create an inexpensive way to carry around classic books while traveling. More than 75 years later Penguin Publishing has become one of the most successful publishing companies from Britian to the US, with connections all over the world. Aside from the book publishing company many spin off products can be found in the Transport Museums gift shop of the water bottles design and other products.

Families often get a few of tins of Quality Street or Roses around Christmas time, me I'm a fudge man myself. How frustrating to open the tin and find all of your favourites have been eaten! How frustrating when that bit of wrapper you catch sight of at the bottom turns out to be an empty wrapper some greedy bugger has just tossed back into the tin.
Damn you eating all my fudges!
I like Tumblr, that's why this blog is on here. However the recent down time has been frustrating for everyone. Hopefully it is all sorted and the service will continue to offer something with continued reliability.
A strange one but if you ask me my date of birth I can tell you straight off, after all it hasn't changed for just under 30 years. However ask me my age and occasionally I question myself, am I really that old? Am I younger or older? Then the few seconds whilst I actually work it.
It makes you feel like a 16 year old kid trying to buy booze.
In the middle of this "cold snap" we're having in Britain there's rather a lot of frozen roads so they all obviously get gritted, which is obviously great. However you then go driving through them and get all the grit and dirt splashed over your windscreen and it just smears all over your window. So you can use your trusty windscreen spray to clear that, except it's -5°C and the bloody things have frozen.
Snow per-se is not bad or irritating in the slightest, it makes everywhere look quite nice, it's a bit of a change and you can have some fun lobbing the stuff at people.
What is irritating though is when it catches your local council by suprise and they've accidentally sent everyone who can drive a gritter on holiday to Gran Canaria so they can't grit the streets and you all have to drive and walk around with the fear of slipping at any moment.

Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa
Obligatory Summary: In a world where alchemy actually works, Edward and Alphonse Elric are on a mission to find the legendary Philosopher's Stone in the hopes of reversing the damage the brothers did to their bodies in a horrible alchemical accident. I know many of you reading this already know the premise of Fullmetal Alchemist, but we have to be fair to the uninformed and Japan-impaired.
Opinionated Ramblings: This is, by far, one of my absolute favorite manga. It has a nice balance of comedy, action, drama, and philosophy. And even better, it has more than one strong, realistic female character*. I know that sounds like a tired old gripe to American ears, but seriously, good female characters are pretty sparse in action-oriented manga. And as far as plot goes, the series manages to explore such subjects as racial hatred, the nature of the universe, political corruption, ethics in human experimentation**, and the atrocities of war. In fact, my favorite volume is #15, when there's a giant flashback to several characters' experiences in war, and the reader is shown how they come to terms with the lives they've taken and the corruption of their ideals***. Basically, I would recommend this series to anyone trying to get into manga for the first time. Of course, most of the manga they ever read afterwards will be unable to compare to its awesomeness. Life is so cruel sometimes.
*It probably helps that the series was written by a woman. It would also explain the series' minimal amount of gravity-defying boobs, a major epidemic in series written by those who don't actually HAVE any boobs.
**Alchemy is meant to be science, after all. You know, just way cooler.
***Yes, I love a good tragedy every now and then.

The Yankees signed righty relief pitcher Chris LeRoux late Monday to a minor league deal, with an invite to spring training. His career has been largely plagued by injuries, as he spent time bouncing from the Florida Marlins to the Pittsburgh Pirates, to the Yakult Swallows in Japan. His numbers are unimpressive at best, including an ERA over 9 in Japan last season.
Leroux is a tall righty with a fastball in the mid 90s. The 6'6 reliever hopes to finally get his cleats in the dirt long enough to prove himself worthy of an MLB roster spot. He's still just 29, so this may be the year he puts it all together.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has revised the manual that long-term care facility surveyors refer to, updating interpretive guidelines related to F-Tags.
It's Nurses Day — a day we celebrate all it means to be a nurse. This day gets me into deep thinking. Particularly about the core of a nurse and how sometimes — even if we don't want it to be — the environment we work in changes us. Let me try and explain.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services released its operations manual updates, including new F-tags for facility closures last week. The updates include amendments to Appendix PP of the SOM, with revisions to tags F203 and F204. Additional tags, F523 and F524, were also added.
CMS recently made changes to surveyor guidance on feeding tubes. Nursing homes must look at their policies, documentation and education practices in order to assess whether a feeding tube is appropriate.
As many as 15% of U.S. nursing homes are issued citations for deficient infection control practices per year, a new study asserts.

Educause Security Discussion
mailing list archives
At Creighton University we have a home grown application that creates a one-time password (OTP) for all new AD
accounts. Students receive their OTP from the admissions process, faculty and staff receive their OTP from their
hiring manager. All individuals use their OTP and date of birth to setup a security profile (security questions and
answers along with an alternate email or text capable number) and then they set their AD password. AD password live
for 180 days. The security profile then ties to a password self-service tool that allow users to reset forgotten
password through security questions and a verification code that is sent to the alternative email or text device. We
never subsequently change a users password if they cannot use the self-service portal (forgot the answers to their
security questions, etc.), we instead provide a new OTP (following verification of identity) so a new security profile
can be created.
We have found the process to work well and password calls to the service desk have declined.

How to Make Your Preaching Worship
- Tuesday, September 30, 2014
Encourage your congregation to participate in worship with you. Instead of viewing the people in your church as spectators and just delivering sermons to them, invite them to worship with you as active participants in each worship service. Try to engage all of their five main physical senses (seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, and tasting) through various activities designed to help them encounter God. Encourage them to respond to God's grace by confessing and repenting of their sins and committing to live for God's glory.
Develop the kind of community God wants you to help build. Help lead the people in your church to form a healthy community in which people can grow closer to God. Use your worshipful preaching to help teach them about resolving conflicts, peacemaking, forgiveness, reconciliation, unity, and service to others in need to fulfill their God-given missions. Work to develop a healthy community both inwardly and outwardly, backward and forward, personally and corporately, verbally and nonverbally, and explicitly and implicitly.
Preach to help people go through the four stages of worship formation. Preach evangelistic, doctrinal, or celebrative sermons to help your congregation join the body of Christ and begin to participate within it. Preach liturgical sermons or sermons that focus on the history of salvation to help people integrate into your congregation by developing closer relationships with each other and expressing their worship to God in deeper ways. Preach sermons that focus on pastoral leadership to help those in your congregation build stronger character and grow to become more like Jesus. Preach missional or prophetic sermons to help people discover and pursue their missions in God's kingdom. Constantly ask yourself if you're building community by story and enabling your community to scatter to accomplish God's purposes.
Collaborate with your church's worship leader to incorporate your preaching into worship services well. Rather than planning your sermons by yourself, meet each week with your church's worship leader to plan the upcoming service together, and follow these stages: First, agree on the fundamental elements of the worship service. Second, work together to choose the Scripture for the service, prayerfully read the text aloud, investigate and interpret it, identify its focus and function, and state its main impact. Third, design the sermon, being sure to keep in mind both its original context and its relevance to contemporary situations. Fourth, shape the content and structure of the entire worship service, planning to proclaim the Scripture text through worship elements such as singing, praying, giving, and Communion. The next step is to actually lead the worship service and deliver the sermon. Finally, evaluate the outcomes and figure out what you can change to improve future worship services.

Freedom to Grow in an Environment of Grace
- Tuesday, July 15, 2003
"Yes indeed, while listening to the lectures of well-intended teachers, children like me appear to be listening, but we've really been transported to some distant land. For example, when the history teacher begins to lecture on Marco Polo, children like me are riding in the caravan as we are about to meet Ghengis Khan."
If it were not for my adventurous imagination, school would have been like solitary confinement in a maximum security prison. In elementary school my high grades reflected only my ability to memorize facts; my level of reasoning and comprehension remained below average.
In high school, where a higher level of reasoning was required, my grades tumbled and with it, motivation to apply myself to study. "Why would anyone "give their all" when there are so few rewards and so much failure?" I reasoned.
If labeling a child for inattentiveness or hyperactivity had been prevalent during my childhood, I certainly would have been a candidate for ADD, ADHD, BDHD, ZDDD! I was "a handful" with an indefatigable spirit. For me, school was imprisonment.
Looking back, I attribute this distaste for school to four factors:
Underdeveloped reasoning capabilities
Environmental pressures and stress
Character weakness
The first, underdeveloped reasoning capabilities, is a common problem especially in the early years of growth. Every child's mental capabilities grow at different rates, and children of the same chronological age are often at different developmental stages. Children are neither meant to nor able to grasp the same content that the teacher or parent presents. Forcing or pressuring a child to learn beyond his capabilities will only frustrate and, in the end, lower his level of reasoning. Children subject to this approach rarely reach their potential as fear suppresses the ability to learn.
Fear, I believe, is the single greatest factor that impedes a child's ability to learn. When the level of fear is high, the level of reasoning is low. Lower the level of fear and you will see the level of reasoning and risk-taking increase.
Risk-taking is essential in the learning process. Without risk, children will persevere to unlock those "mental blocks" in order to achieve mastery. For example, a fearful, insecure child learning division for the first time will be easily frustrated and more apt to give up before this challenging concept is understood and applied through repetition, trial and error. The greater the fear, the lower the level of risk-taking and reasoning.
Some children are born with an inquisitive nature and actually enjoy facing obstacles. They enjoy the process of discovery and remain motivated until the answers are found. These children do not succumb to fear easily. Their mental abilities are strong enough to carry them through most learning environments.
We must strive to lower the level of fear in order to raise the level of reasoning. The first and most significant fear factor is found at home. The stronger the relationship between Mom and Dad, the more security a child possesses, enabling him to tackle life's challenges.
When a child fears that the relationship that holds his life together is breaking down, feelings of insecurity and worry are often insurmountable, resulting in an inability to concentrate. Other fear factors that contribute to a child's learning difficulties include the fear of failing, fear of an angry parent, teacher, or principal, fear of peers, fear of the death of a loved one, and more recently, the fear of terrorism. Though this list is not exhaustive, it does represent some of the destructive fears a child faces today. In light of war and terrorist threats, the threshold of fear for children has significantly increased.

What you may not know about vertical seawalls
Waterfront homeowners' efforts represent hundreds of thousands of miniature conservation projects. Understanding how they tick is essential to urban coastal sustainability efforts, according to post-doctoral research fellow Steven Scyphers.
Managing shorelines, coastal fisheries, and expectations
Steven Scyphers, a post-doctoral researcher at Northeastern University's Marine Science Center in Nahant, Mass. is researching how to better manage shorelines and coastal fisheries. He was a guest of #sciencechat on October 2, 2013.
Scientists study seawalls on the seashore
Oyster reefs and sandy beaches have historically bordered many picturesque coastlines. But in an effort to prevent erosion, coastal developers are increasingly replacing these living shorelines with rocks and seawalls.

Half an Apple: developer creates tiny, working version of original Macintosh
When Apple released the original Macintosh in 1984, it was looked at as a triumph of design — one of the more minimalist and user-friendly computer designs to hit the market. Old Macs have long since become obsolete, leading fans to come up with creative ways to hack them into a useful second life (like the MacQuarium), but John Leake took a different approach for his tribute to Apple's most enduring product. Using Sintra foamboard and a Raspberry Pi, Leake has successfully created a working scale model of the original Mac that's one-third the size of the original.

Question: At which point, and at what level, will those wishing to face the debt problem not be crazies?
Simple, hsvkitty, once the bond market starts treating US debt the way they are presently treating Greece, we will then acknowledge that it is time to take our debt seriously.
Until then, those who are afraid of where we are headed are "crazies".

A scorching seduction?
Jacinta knew as soon as Paul McAlpine opened his front door that she shouldn't stay. Gerard had warned her not to fall for Paul, his cousin, during her visit to Waitapu, New Zealand. But she already hadten months ago! She'd kept her distance then, determined not to give into the compelling attraction she'd felt for this man. Now she faced spending a long, hot summer in Paul's company. How on earth was she going to deny their mutual, sizzling desire?

Alex Olah scored eight of his 10 points in the second half and Kale Abrahamson had nine of his 11 in the final 20 minutes, allowing cold-shooting Northwestern to pull out a 58-52 win over Brown on Sunday.
Olah gave the Wildcats leads three times late in the game. His 3-pointer with 8:34 to put Northwestern (7-5) ahead for good at 44-41. Abrahamson's three-point play with 43 seconds left sealed the victory.
Drew Crawford led Northwestern with 24 points, 17 in the first half.
Sean McGonagill led Brown (6-4) with 16 and Cedric Kuakumensah added 10.
Brown, which hadn't played since Dec. 10, and Northwestern both struggled from the floor. The Bears went 20 for 63 (31.7 percent) and Northwestern was 21-59 (35.6 percent.)
Northern Illinois 71, UC Riverside 64: Dontel Highsmith scored a career-high 27 points as Northern Illinois took an early lead and held on.
Highsmith, a freshman, was 9 of 11 from the field, including three 3-pointers. He also made all six of his free throws and did not have a turnover.
The Huskies (5-5) had fallen behind when UC Riverside's (4-7) Nick Gruninger opened the game with a five-point flurry. Gruninger wasn't heard from again until well after halftime and the cold-shooting Highlanders, 35.7 percent, trailed by 10 at halftime.
Gruninger scored 12 of his season-high 18 points in the second half. Chris Harriel also scored a season-high 18 and his 3-pointer brought the Highlanders to within 62-59 with 1:25 to play. Highsmith hit a 3 on the other end, and Northern Illinois made 17 of 18 free throws in the final 10 minutes.
Illinois State 69, DePaul 64: Daishon Knight scored 16 points as Illinois State overcame a woeful shooting afternoon.
The Redbirds (7-5) rallied from a 7-point second half deficit despite shooting 31 percent from the field, including just 5-of-26 from behind the arc. Zach Lofton added 14 and Nick Zeisloft 11 for the Redbirds, who made 24 of 30 free throws to offset the woeful shooting.
DePaul was led by Billy Garrett with 18 points. Brandon Young added 17 and Durrell McDonald chipped in with 10 points.
DePaul was down two with 36 seconds left but with the possession arrow in ISU's favor Knight forced a jump ball, tying up DePaul's Garrett. He was fouled on the ensuing inbounds and made one free throw to give Illinois State a 67-64 lead with 15 seconds left. A long 3 from Brandon Young wasn't close and Bobby Hunter grabbed the rebound and made two free throws for the final margin.
A back and forth game that was tied eight times and saw the lead change four times. Illinois State was outrebounded and was 5-of-26 from 3-point range in the game but took advantage of 16 turnovers by the Blue Demons (7-5), scoring 17 points off those DePaul miscues. Illinois State turned the ball over just six times.
No. 10 Connecticut 82, Washington 70: Shabazz Napier scored 15 of his 20 points in the second half and grabbed six rebounds to lead UConn.
Fellow guard Ryan Boatright had 16 points and five rebounds and Lasan Kromah scored 14 points for Connecticut (10-1), which fell into a double-digit hole early in its first true road game of the season but controlled the game in the second half.
C.J. Wilcox led Washington (6-5) with 19 points on 6-of-15 shooting and had four assists. Darin Johnson had 13 points for Washington and Mike Anderson, who is from Hartford, Conn., added 10 points.
Wilcox hit two straight 3-pointers to give UW a 31-17 lead with 7 minutes to go in the first half, but those shots seemed to wake up the visiting Huskies.
UConn answered with a 15-2 run, including a stretch of 10 straight points. Connecticut took the lead for the first time since the opening minutes when DeAndre Daniel's layup made it 39-37 with 1:46 left in the first half, and UConn led 43-39 at halftime.
No. 12 Baylor 81, Southern U. 56: Isaiah Austin had 14 points and 10 rebounds as Baylor won its 10th straight home game.
Austin had his first double-double of the season while leading five players in double-figure scoring for the Bears (10-1).
Brady Heslip had 13 points for Baylor, while Cory Jefferson and Rico Gathers both had 12. Kenny Chery had 10 points.
Tre Lynch had 27 points, including five 3-pointers, to lead Southern (3-9).
The Jaguars, who made it to the NCAA tournament last season as the SWAC tournament champions, are 0-4 against Top 25 teams this season. They were coming off a 69-43 loss at top-ranked Arizona on Thursday night.
Jefferson had 11 points on 5-of-6 shooting by halftime, when Baylor led 36-26.
No. 17 Iowa St. 79, George Mason 67: Georges Niang scored 22 points for Iowa State in the first round of the Diamond Head Classic.
The Cyclones (9-0) had their second-lowest scoring game of the season but still managed to extend their winning streak. Iowa State — the top scoring team in the country — was one of 10 undefeated teams in Division I at the start of Sunday.
Melvin Ejim, Iowa State's leading scorer going into the game, had 14 points and 11 rebounds while DeAndre Kane had 13 points and eight assists.
Patrick Holloway scored 19 points for George Mason (5-5) and Byron Allen had 14.
Three minutes into the second half, Niang stole the ball from Marko Gujanicic and his layup gave Iowa State its first 10-point lead at 40-30. After that, George Mason pulled no closer than five points with 6:18 left.
No. 25 Iowa 85, Ark.-Pine Bluff 61: Josh Oglesby scored 13 points in his season debut as Iowa rolled.
The Hawkeyes (11-2) opened their final non-conference game with a 39-5 run. Jarrod Uthoff scored 16 points and Adam Woodbury added 10.
Oglesby missed Iowa's first 12 games with a broken foot. He made his first four 3-pointers during a 6-minute stretch in the first half.
Tevin Hammond scored 19 points for Pine Bluff (2-9), which lost its ninth straight.
The Hawkeyes shot 75 percent from the field in taking a 52-15 halftime lead. Iowa committed a season-worst 27 turnovers but dominated the rebounding 42-27.
