LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - On April 6, 2010 Archbishop Jose H. Gomez was appointed Co-Adjutor Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles California and assumed the office of Archbishop of Los Angeles on February 27, 2011. He is highly regarded for his theological orthodoxy, warm pastoral heart and teaching gifts.
Though he is loved by many people, he is, in a special way, loved within the Hispanic community. He has an abiding friendship with the Archbishop of Mexico City. He was born in Monterrey, Mexico. He is the only "Numerary" (celibate and lifelong member) of the Personal Prelature of Opus Dei currently serving in episcopal office. He was ordained a priest for Opus Dei in 1978. He first served as an auxiliary Bishop to Archbishop Charles Chaput in Denver. Then, he was sent to San Antonio where he again served with distinction. Time Magazine named the Bishop one of the most influential Hispanic leaders in America.
He has been a long time proponent of the "New Evangelization" advocated by Blessed John Paul II, to whom he has had a long and deep devotion. His marvelous letter entitled "You Will Be My Witnesses" is one of the best statements on the Call to the New Evangelization available. On Sunday, March 6, 2011 he gave his first homily as the Archbishop of Los Angeles. It was wonderful, reflecting his passion for the New Evangelization, it was appropriately titled "Our world needs a new evangelization!"
In it he said: "We are living in a time when the awareness of God is fading away. More and more people are living in indifference, with no religion at all. Our society increasingly encourages a kind of practical atheism in which people go about their daily lives as if God does not exist. This is a false path, my friends. It can't lead to true freedom or happiness.
"We can see this all around us in our society. Indifference to God leads to indifference to the needs of the weak and vulnerable. When we don't believe we have a Father in heaven, we find it harder to live as brothers and sisters here on earth.Our world needs a new evangelization! We need a new mission to the American continent! We need to bring the beauty of the Gospel to the people of our time. This is our task as the Church of Los Angeles! "
He is also a passionate advocate for the poor and the authentic Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church. On July 28, 2011 he gave an extraordinary address to the Napa Institute entitled "Immigration and the "Next America": Perspectives from Our History" which can be - and should be - read in its entirety here. In introductory remarks he said: "Our political debate about immigration in America frustrates me. Often I think we are we are just talking around the edges of the real issues.Both sides of this argument are inspired by a beautiful, patriotic idea of America's history and values. But lately I've been starting to wonder. What America are we really talking about? America is changing and it has been changing for a long time. The forces of globalization are changing our economy and forcing us to rethink the scope and purpose of our government. Threats from outside enemies are changing our sense of national sovereignty.
"America is changing on the inside, too.Our culture is changing. We have a legal structure that allows, and even pays for, the killing of babies in the womb. Our courts and legislatures are redefining the natural institutions of marriage and the family. We have an elite culture - in government, the media and academia - that is openly hostile to religious faith.
"America is becoming a fundamentally different country. It is time for all of us to recognize this - no matter what our position is on the political issue of immigration.We need to recognize that immigration is part of a larger set of questions about our national identity and destiny. What is America? What does it mean to be an American? "Who are we as a people - and where are heading as a country? What will the "next America" look like?
"As Catholics who are faithful citizens in America, we have to answer these questions within a larger frame of reference. We have to always remember that there is more to the life of any nation than the demands of the moment in politics, economics and culture. We have to consider all of those demands and the debates about them in light of God's plan for the nations.
"This is a big challenge for us in this culture. Our culture pushes us to "privatize" our faith, to separate our faith from our life in society. We always have to resist that temptation. We are called to live our faith in our businesses, homes and communities, and in our participation in public life.That means we have to bring a Catholic faith perspective to this debate about immigration. We cannot just think about this issue as Democrats or Republicans or as liberals or conservatives.
"That means we have to listen to the teachings of our Church on this issue. But that's not what I want to talk about today. I think we all know the teachings of our Church on this issue.What we need to understand better is how to see immigration in light of America's history and purposes, as seen through the perspective of our Catholic faith. When we understand immigration from this perspective we can see that immigration is not a problem for America. It's an opportunity. It is a key to our American renewal."
He continued his treatment of this vital issue in a stirring address at this weeks Knights of Columbus Convention in Denver, Colorado. Here is a snippet, courtesy of Rocc Palmo's "Whispers in the Loggia" : "I know this issue is hard for people - including many people who are trying to be good Catholics.I am not a politician. I am a pastor of souls - and an American citizen. That is my perspective on these issues. As pastor of the largest Catholic community in the United States, I am deeply affected by our nation's immigration policy crisis. Historically, the Catholic Church has always been a Church of immigrants - just as America has always been a nation of immigrants.
"American Catholics form one spiritual family drawn from some 60 ethnic and national groups from every continent. In the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, ministry and worship is conducted in 42 languages.About 70 percent of the flock I minister to is Hispanic. And Los Angeles is not exception - but a sign of the future.More than one-third of Catholics in America today are of Latino descent - and that number is growing.
"Hispanics accounted for almost 60 percent of our population growth in the last ten years. They now make up 16 percent of the U.S. population. Nearly one-quarter of all American children age 17 and under are Hispanic. So immigration policy, especially as it relates to Latino immigration, is of deep concern to us as Catholics and as citizens.
"The Church's perspective on these issues is rooted in Jesus Christ's teaching that every human person is created in God's image and has God-given dignity and rights. From a Catholic standpoint, America's founders got it exactly right. Human rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are universal and inalienable. They come from God, not governments. And these rights are not contingent on where you are born or what racial or ethnic group you are born into.
"The human right to life, the foundation of every other right, implies the natural right to emigrate. Because in order for you and your family to live a life worthy of your God-given dignity, certain things are required. At minimum: food, shelter, clothing, and the means to make a decent living.If you and your family are unable to secure life's necessities in your home country - due to political instability, economic distress, religious persecution, or other conditions that offend basic human dignity - you must be free to seek these things in another country.
"In Catholic thinking, the right to immigration is a "natural right." That means it is universal and inalienable. But it is not absolute. Immigrants are obliged to respect and abide by the laws and traditions of the countries they come to reside in. Catholic teaching also recognizes the sovereignty of nations to secure their borders and make decisions about who and how many foreigners they allow into their countries.
"Our government has the duty to consider immigration's impact on the domestic economy and our national security. However, we must always make sure that we are not exaggerating these concerns in ways that deny the basic humanitarian needs of good people seeking refuge in our country.These Catholic principles are consistent with America's founding ideals. They are also consistent with America's proud legacy as one nation under God made up from many peoples of all races and creeds.
"Based on these principles the American bishops support comprehensive immigration policy reform that protects the integrity of our national borders and provides undocumented immigrants the opportunity to earn permanent residency and eventual citizenship.So the political issue is basically this: How can we find a way to accept these newcomers and balance that with the need for our nation to protect our borders, to control the flow of immigrants, and to keep track of who is living within our borders?
"But the important thing for us is to approach these political issues - not as Democrats or Republicans, liberals or conservatives - but as Catholics. And as Catholics, we should be alarmed by the human toll of our failure to fix our broken immigration system.... America has always been a nation of justice and law. But as Americans we have also always been a people of generosity, mercy and forgiveness. Unfortunately, our nation's current response to illegal immigration is not worthy of our national character. My point is simple: We need to find a better way to make immigration policy and enforce it.
"And in this policy debate, Catholics have a special place. Because Catholics - especially - bear the truth about all Americans. Namely, that we are all children of immigrants. If we trace the genealogies of everyone in this room today, they will lead us out beyond our borders to some foreign land where each of our ancestors originally came from. In my personal case, the first members of my family came to what now is Texas in 1805. Our inheritance comes to us now as a gift and as a duty.
"At the least, it means we should have some empathy for this new generation of immigrants.For Christians, empathy means seeing Jesus Christ in every person and especially in the poor and the vulnerable. And we need to remember, my friends: Jesus was uncompromising on this point.In the evening of our lives, he told us, our love for God will be judged by our love for him in the person of the least among us. This includes, he said, the immigrant or the stranger.
"Very few people "choose" to leave their homelands. Emigration is almost always forced upon people by the dire conditions they face in their lives.Most of the men and women who are here illegally have traveled hundreds even thousands of miles. They have left everything behind, risked their safety and even their lives. They did this, not for their own comfort or selfish needs. They did this to feed their loved ones. To be good mothers and fathers. To be loving sons and daughters."
Not only is the new Archbishop of Los Angeles shaking up an important part of the Catholic Church in the United States,the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, he is shaking up the entire U.S. Church. He calls us to approach one of the "hot button" issues of the hour with a Catholic mind and a Catholic heart - and to take our place in building a new and true Culture of Life and Civilization of love.
We need to heed the words of this messenger of the Lord. We are not first "liberal", "conservative" or any other permutation of these political labels. We are first Catholics and, as such, we need to approach this issue - and every 'social issue" - with the mind of the Lord as revealed through His Church. Archbishop Jose H. Gomez Addresses Immigration with Prophetic Insight and Compelling Clarity. We need to listen.

4 Firefox rebuilds feed the need for speed
Alternative builds bring speed optimizations and custom features to the Firefox core
Firefox is one of open source's biggest success stories. Not only is it a hit with mainstream users, it's also popular with developers, who've created a number of spinoffs, derivatives, and alternative builds from its code base.
Alternative builds of Firefox exist mainly to take advantage of processor instructions that aren't used in the official Mozilla versions. Mozilla codes Firefox so that it will run on the broadest possible number of machines. But that breadth of compatibility comes with a performance penalty. The instruction sets used by alternative builds -- and unused in Mozilla's official edition -- provide a speed boost.
[ Also on InfoWorld: 6 Google Chrome remixes worth trying | 13 features that make each Web browser unique | Attack of the mobile Web browsers | Learn how to secure your Web browsers in InfoWorld's "Web Browser Security Deep Dive" PDF guide. ]
Under-the-hood changes in private builds might also include custom features (such as Atelier's portable mode), but just as often they involve disabling standard Firefox features (such as the removal of accessibility extensions and parental controls in Pale Moon) -- again, for the sake of better performance and stability.
Another common reason for alternative builds is to create native 64-bit editions of Firefox, which can address larger memory spaces and in theory perform better than their 32-bit counterparts. It's safe to assume any PC shipped today is running a 64-bit version of Windows, but many apps remain available only in 32-bit editions for compatibility. Firefox is one such app, in large part because of the significant number of 32-bit Windows systems still in use.
I've long been curious about the state of third-party Firefox builds. Here I've surveyed the most prevalent third-party builds to see whether or not they're worth the trouble of swapping in to replace stock editions of Firefox. My criteria for picking these particular builds? First, they're actively maintained. Second, they're optimized for 64-bit systems or, at the very least, just plain optimized for faster performance. And third, they're available in a Windows edition, important because Windows constitutes the biggest installation base for Firefox.
In every case but one, I tested builds that used the 10.0 branch of Firefox. The lone exception, Atelier, is based on the 9.2 version of Firefox. I also ran the browsers against a set of common browser benchmarks:
- Peacekeeper, a general JavaScript and HTML5 test suite
I also tried out the SPDY download-speed test, to compare the browsers that had it enabled (all builds based on Firefox 10 and later) with those that didn't.
The test system was a quad-core Intel Q6600, 2.4GHz, with 4GB of RAM running Windows 7 Ultimate.

A Wedding
Time Out saysAltman's attempt to repeat the magic formula of Nashville, by concentrating on the interweaving relationships between a large number of guests at a wealthy society wedding, is flawed by an often sadly unimaginative script, which lampoons obvious targets as it clears the skeletons out of the two families' closets. The staging of the action is as exhilarating as ever, and there are glorious moments in the twisted, kaleidoscopic narrative; finally, however, the effect seems curiously contrived and complacent. Entertaining, though, thanks to the top-notch ensemble acting.

On Tuesday, November 18 at 4 p.m., Mycah Grandstaff signed an official letter of intent to run cross country and track at Grand Valley State University, a Division 2 athletic program. Mycah has been an integral part of the success of the Crestview cross country and track programs. Mycah's cross country accomplishments include memberships in the all-district team, all-regional team and a state qualifier in each of his four years as a runner. He was acknowledged as an all Northwest Conference cross country runner in 2011, 2013, and 2014, with a First Team All-Ohio designation in 2013 and 2014. In the track arena, Mycah was a top ten placer in the state track meet during 2013 and 2014. He is also a two time All-Ohio competitor in track and field. His previous accomplishments designate he was an All-County track champion in multiple events, previous All-Conference champion in the 3200 meter run, and a previous district champion and record breaker in the 3200 run. Currently, Mycah runs for coaches Jeff Bagley (Cross Country) and James Lautzenheiser (Track) at Crestview.
Presale tickets for Friday night's playoff game with Spencerville will be on sale at the high school concession stand by door #2 from 3:00-6:00 on Wednesday, 8:00- 3:30 on Thursday at the concession stand, and 8:00-3:00 on Friday in the athletic office.
All ticket prices are $8 presale and $9 at the gate.
The Crestview High School Scholastic Bowl Team traveled to Columbus Grove to compete in the Northwest Conference tournament on Saturday, November 1. The Knights captured the championship title while remaining undefeated. This is the fourth consecutive title for Crestview. Pictured is Coach Sandy Grooms and team members Vicki Callow, Joel Germann, Chase Baker, Noah Daugherty and Anna Lautzenheiser.
Crestview High School is proud to be presenting their fall musical, "Shrek", on November 14 & 15 at 7:30 p.m. in the auditeria. Ticket sales will begin Tuesday, November 4 in the high school office. Reserved seating is $6.00. This year's production involves a cast and crew of 36 students. Pictured are Cora Millay as Donkey, Joel Germann as Shrek, and Bella Chorvas as Fiona.
Crestview would like to remind constituents that the proper procedure for dropping off middle and high school students is to enter the campus using the west driveway and drop students off in front of Door #2, which is near the northeast gym concession stand. Once students are dropped off/picked up in front of door #2, vehicles can exit the campus by turning left onto Elm St.
Due to the increased frequency of middle and high school students being dropped off at door #3 (Knight Door), as well as the concern for student safety during these times of the school day, the district will begin blocking off the Knight Door driveway beginning Monday, November 3rd , during the drop off and pick-up timeframes. Parents are also reminded to not drop students off on Elm Street in the middle of traffic due to the tremendous concern for student safety.

Delayed Lock
100,000 - 500,000 downloadsAdd this app to your lists
+ By j4velin
Not using any pattern-, PIN- or password lock is a huge security problem, but reentering your PIN code a hundred times a day to unlock your lockscreen can also be annoying.
Delayed Lock is a solution to this problem: After unlocking your device, it will turn the secure lock screen off for a user defined amount of time or while you're connected to a certain WiFi network or Bluetooth device, just as the "personal unlocking" feature from the upcoming Android version! You can turn your phone off and on as often as you want without entering your password/PIN/pattern again. After the defined delay time, it will automatically reactivate your lockscreen, so no stranger can unlock your device and access your private data.
Additionally, there is also an optional notification in the Android status bar and a widget to immediately reenable the lock screen, and free plugins to automatically keep the device unlocked while at certain locations or to control the lockscreen through the Tasker app.
Main Features:
• Delayes the requirement to enter pattern/PIN/password again after succesfully unlocked once
• No lockscreen while connected to certain WiFi network or Bluetooth devices
• Time delay since "Screen off" or since "Last unlock"
• Quickly re-enable the lock through the Android notification bar or a widget
• Widgets & Shortcuts: Toggle Lock, Screen off, Screen off & Lock, Enable / Disable DelayedLock
• Free plugins: Disable lockscreen while at certain locations or use the Tasker app to control the lockscreen
• automatically wipe the device after several failed unlocks
• auto disable USB-debugging on rooted devices (on 4.0 - 4.2.1, not necessary on 4.2.2+)
• Android Wear integration
General limitations:
• Does not work if your Exchange policy requires a PIN, if you setup a VPN in the Android settings or if you have installed any custom certificates (might work if your device is rooted though)
• Pattern lock & FaceUnlock require root on Android 4.0+
• Does not work on all devices, see section Device incompatibility
• Requires root if full device encryption is enabled
• Incompatible with NoLED, No Lock & some other apps
• Please use the "Uninstall" option from within the app to uninstall it
Device incompatibility:
• Some HTC devices: Pattern lock might not work
• Some Samung devices: Notification bar might be accessable even in locked state
• Samsung devices with Android 4.4: User reported that after 3 days, the device does not accept the PIN/password any more. Make sure you enable the "Android Device Manager" to remotely change your password in case this happens! Also try to disable the fingerprint feature before setting up Delayed Lock
Legal information:
I do not guarantee that your device's data is unaccessible and will not be responsible for any damage you or your company may get because of an unlocked device. Please check if the usage of the app is compatible with the security policy of your company.

It's exactly how I need it to work. Very easy to setup and works each and every time with no bugs.

Does what it's supposed to do and is very convenient. The only hiccup I have is with the location plugin. Without GPS, it's accuracy can be hit or miss. Using a rooted Nexus 5.

After initial install issues. I found the app requires root to do many of its features and is only a 7 day trial. Thanks but no thanks. I'll just wait until it's free with android L.

Utterly essential if you've got an Android Wear or Pebble watch. The convenience of not having to unlock my phone but knowing that it'll be secure if I leave it behind anywhere is fantastic. Works flawlessly.

Google Glass could hit markets as early as late 2013, adding to its retail products

Google Glass, the company's much-anticipated augmented reality glasses, could be hitting stores near you as early as the end of this year for less than $1,500, CNET reports.
And some journalists like Joshua Topolsky of The Verge are already offering up a review of the futuristic device, which he called elegant and sophisticated. Topolsky revealed that Google would be releasing the first version of the device in the following colors: shale, tangerine, charcoal, cotton and sky.
Google Glass would be another notch in Google's growing retail belt, which includes the newly launched Chromebook Pixel that boasts an HD touchscreen and a variety of Nexus smartphones and tablets. And those products could reach the market faster with Google's rumored retail stores, which could be similar to Apple or Microsoft stores.
As for Google Glass, the excitement is contagious. The hefty pricetag certainly won't keep Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg on the fence, who says he "can't wait" for the device. And a Seattle startup has already built the the first app for Google Glass. Some analysts are even speculating that wearable devices like Glass or Apple's rumored iWatch could outsell PCs in five years.
We'll have to wait and see about that, but don't be too surprised if you see the futuristic eyewear show up on everyone's Christmas list this year.
I'll take one in tangerine.

LOS ANGELES -- The Chicago Blackhawks have played 30 Stanley Cup Playoff games since they've faced a 3-1 series deficit. They also won and celebrated their second Stanley Cup in four seasons during that time.
Yet they haven't forgotten the hollow feeling they felt in the second round last season after dropping Game 4 to the underdog Detroit Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena. They remember the pit of fear in their stomachs when they boarded the plane for a short flight home and an uncertain future after being outscored 9-2 in three straight losses.

I am the descendant of Lemiah Christopher Columbus Adkins, the younger brother to your Lewis Davis Adkins. Their parents were Zaccheus Frank Adkins Sr., and Piety Prudence Sansing-Adkins. The family left Henry County, Georgia circa 1852 and migrated to Claiborne Parish, Louisiana. Several descendants still live on the original land purchased by Piety and her son LCC. There is also an Adkins family cemetery. Please feel free to contact me via email <firstname.lastname@example.com> and I can provide you with family group sheets. The Adkins family is a well documented family with documentation contributed by several descendants. "The Adkins Family" book by Barney Hunter (a Lewis D. descendant) is a good source.

Summer blooms in Margate
Written by Suzanne Marino Wednesday, August 01, 2012 05:17 pm
|< Prev
|Next >
MARGATE - Beautiful gardens don't just happen; the flow of colors and texture that change with the season come with a lot of forethought and planning not to mention hard work. The Margate residents who entered the annual garden contest sponsored by the Beautification Board have all created very special spaces around their homes that reflect that planning and hard work. Whether they are small spaces or larger expanses each garden tells a little something about the person who created and tends it.
Christine Hughes has managed to wonderfully use of space and create privacy with her container gardening at the Royal Palm Condominium. "I start in February, looking in gardening centers and seeing what the trend is and what is new for the year. I like to change the colors and add a different texture each season," said Hughes. With the use of large concrete planters, Hughes manages to make the nearby parking area all but disappear when she sits on her front patio behind a façade of red Cana, ornamental grass, purple osteoporum with trailing vines. She also has managed to create a compact herb garden with lemon verbena, basil, rosemary and even a self watering tomato planter.
Petie and Bill Subin live not far from the bay but they have created their own oasis just outside their back door.
"When Bill came home from the hospital after having a hip replaced I wanted to surprise him with something special, something soothing - so I made plans for this pond," Petie Subin said. "It has really become such a wonderful and relaxing place with a sense of whimsy. And we just love it."
The water spills across a rock wall among the flora and fauna and into a pond with colorful koi and accented with water lilies. The look changes from every angle and clematis adds color while little frogs, dragonflies and other accents make every glance interesting. A fence keeps the Subin's Portuguese water hound Henley from taking a dip in the pond, but also serves as interesting backdrop.
Over on Jerome Avenue, Rose DiRenzo said her husband Louis recently retired and likes to have some fun in the garden. Their meticulously trimmed bushes and topiaries caught the judge's eye. Look a little more carefully and the personality of the caretaker begins to pop.
"He is always adding a little something here and there," Rose DiRenzo said as she pointed out little gnomes and animals tucked here and there. "We tease him that he has his own ark going, but it is really pretty and I love the color that we add each year with flowers," said DiRenzo.
The winner in the large garden category is Carolyn and Nelson Mirsky on Fredericksburg Avenue. A covered patio at the far end of the garden gives the Mirskys a perfect perch from where they can watch their garden burst with color from early spring into fall. Their garden is nothing short of a head-turner with bright yellows, pinks and corals just popping from all over this well manicured and meticulously maintained garden. Nelson Mirsky is out there every day dead-heading his garden and pinching off all the spent blooms from the row of hibiscus, the dahlias and the dozen or more varieties of flowers that rim the large open yard.
The recent derecho did some damage; ripping one variety of hibiscus right out of the ground. But aside from debris the garden was not damaged heavily. A recent mama rabbit decided it was a lovely spot to raise a furry family, but Mirsky was able to relocate the crew and keep his garden intact.
Carolyn Mirsky does most of her gardening in a small patch that she has tilled and turned into a prolific vegetable and herb garden. The Mirskys said they travel some distance to R and J Garden Market for plants and to pick up what the garden market owner said would show them real results: Jack's Original. "The difference in the tomatoes is really noticeable, it made a huge difference," Mirsky said.
There were 32 entries in the 2012 Margate Garden Contest with the judges having the tough job of picking what they felt was the best of the bunch. The winners will be honored at the Thursday, Aug. 2 Margate City Commission meeting.

A Five Hour Back to the Future
This is the entire Back to the Future trilogy presented to you in one edited chronologically movie. The power of love for these three films have made me combine them all into one gigantic five hour spectacular. Hope you enjoy what could have been. The hardest parts to edit were the "Enchantment Under the Sea dance" scenes. Both the first and second movie have some moments that are out of order. It isn't realised watching each movie individually. Scenes in particular are when George McFly is dancing alone before confronting Biff and when Lorraine kisses Marty. In this edit, these scenes and many others are integrated with the first movie taking precedence. The actor who stood in for the character of George McFly isn't actually very good once you edit his parts. It's best to keep the original scenes. Otherwise the movie was very uncomplicated to edit. Enjoy!
Update: Pulled without a single view, that was quick. How is that when there are hundreds of other copyrighted content still on Youtube?
Xi Jinping and Pro-Democracy
Debate and Civility – Occupy Hong Kong
Something that doesn't make headlines due to the lack of drama and level of civility are the many crowds that form in order to just discuss what is happening in relation to the protests.
Talks ranged from the communist's approach to the movement, who is really in charge in Beijing, how well informed many mainland Chinese actually are about the protests in Hong Kong, the beginning of the occupy protests with first hand accounts of the firing of teargas and media's misrepresentation of the events thus far.
'Stay Strong' from Captain America.
Andy Yung Wai-Yib or known by his protest name, 'Captain America' was arrested yesterday for pushing an anti-protester away with his shield.
Bailed out today for $100 HKD (£8) with his shield and protective gear confiscated. Captain America was back in Mong Kok brandishing a sign instead that said 'Stay Strong'.
Captain America continued to show his support for protesters by rallying a cheerful crowd to his banner at the barricades in front of the police and anti-protesters.
Lion Rock – Hong Kong
In English the sign on top of Lion Rock translates as "I want true votes'.
Earlier today the police removed the sign by helicopter. The significance of the Lion Rock (besides being Lion shaped rock) can be read here – http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beneath_the_Lion_Rock (Cantonese pop song that is the unofficial anthem of Hong Kong) and here – http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Below_the_Lion_Rock (Cantonese TV Series).

Life Application Truth-How To Shine Like A Starjohn : August 31, 2012 8:44 am : John Shirk, Staff Pages
JOHN SHIRK – From Philippians 2:14 and 15.
"Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like the stars of the universe."
The Hebrews in Moses' day learned by experience that complaining gets you nowhere fast. They did not show proper gratitude for God's blessings, and displayed the tendency to grumble against Him. This slowed down their progress, and these tendencies to complain or argue also undermine the witness of the Christian.
Billy Graham once said, "We are the sermons the world is heeding." Some people, who don't step inside a church or listen to sermons from pastors, are studying the lives of professing Christians. The displays of actions and attitudes are having an impact on unbelievers, for better or worse, depending on whether or not our lives are lining up with the Bible. In the absence of complaining or arguing, the Christian witness is purified to shine brighter for Jesus with a godly attitude.
Along with the absence of complaining or arguing, the display of gratitude and love are vital signs of a changed life in the Year of Transformation.

New Tunes at 9 Roundup: Chris Augustphil : August 30, 2012 6:36 pm : music, Radio Friend Phil, Staff Pages
Radio Friend Phil – Greetings! It's time for this week's New Tunes at 9 Roundup: New Tunes at 9, one-hour of new and emerging music, weeknights at 9 p.m. on WJTL.

Life Application Truth-About Judgingjohn : August 30, 2012 2:17 pm : John Shirk, Staff Pages
JOHN SHIRK – From Matthew 7, verses 1 and 2.
These are the words of Jesus, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
Sometimes, this verse is misused to suggest that we should not discern behavior and character. Jesus wants us to use discernment in what we see and what we choose to embrace or reject. If we were not to use judgment in these areas, He would not have said, "Watch out for false prophets." But He did, and He told us we could recognize them by their fruit.
What Jesus is addressing here is self-righteous evaluation, where we inspect the faults of others without choosing to see our own faults. Another dangerous kind of judgment is to write someone off as hopeless. God has converted many people who would have been considered lost causes. A third dangerous kind of judgment is judging someone's motives for their actions. We do not know the heart of others as God does.
If we know someone who is living as though there is no God, we can keep praying for them, keep the door open for them to change their mind about God, and keep treating them as though God does exist and cares about their soul and eternal destiny.
Love and humility are vital signs of a changed life in the Year of Transformation.
Life Application Truth-Courageous Witnessesjohn : August 29, 2012 3:18 pm : John Shirk, Staff Pages
JOHN SHIRK – From Acts 4:20.
Words from Peter and John, who said, "We cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."
These early church leaders were under pressure to not speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. The authorities were attempting to clamp down on their expression of faith. Peter and John knew what Jesus had told them to do. They knew that if they kept silent, they would not be keeping the word of the Lord.
When we are placed in a position where we are urged to violate principles of the Bible, courage is needed. Peter and John had it. So did the other disciples of Christ. Daniel withstood pressure to compromise his prayer life. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednigo stood tall in the face of pressure to bow down to a false god.
The LORD honors those who honor Him. He brings encouragement through various statements in the Bible, such as Isaiah 41:10, which says, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Courage is a vital sign of a changed life in the Year of Transformation.

Life Application Truth-Faith and Fearjohn : August 22, 2012 2:14 pm : John Shirk, Staff Pages
JOHN SHIRK – From Deuteronomy 3:22.
Moses commanded Joshua, concerning opposing kingdoms, "Do not be afraid of them; the LORD your God himself will fight for you."
Before uttering these words, Moses reminded Joshua of how the LORD had helped the Israelites to defeat two kings. He used past victories to encourage Joshua that more victories were coming.
For Joshua to move forward, he needed to have faith in God. That is what keeps us moving forward in the face of adversity too.
Faith gives us courage to overcome fear.
Faith keeps us moving forward in God's plan for our lives.
Faith relies on God in the midst of our battles.
Today, our struggle may not be with an opposing army, but we are engaged in spiritual battles day after day. That is why the words of Moses to Joshua are relevant for us as well. "Do not be afraid of them; the LORD your God himself will fight for you." Ephesians 6:10 urges us to "be strong in the Lord, and in his mighty power." This will happen as we use the full armor of God in the midst of our spiritual battles.
Courageous faith is a vital sign of a changed life in the Year of Transformation.
John Shirk

NASD Rule 2510 governs discretionary accounts. It details how discretionary accounts are to be established and also sets forth the requirements for the use of time and price discretion.
In this short video, Joel Beck provides an overview of the basics of Rule 2510. Brokers should, of course, review and understand their own firm's policies regarding use of discretion as they may be significantly more restrictive that Rule 2510.
NASD Rule 3050 governs transactions by or for associated persons and it requires associated persons of a FINRA-member broker-dealer to disclose their outside securities accounts to their firm, and to disclose their status as an associated person to the firm with which the account is opened. In this short video, Joel Beck explains the basics of Rule 3050.
Prior to May 11, 2011, the law in Georgia tended to favor former employees of a business when a dispute arose about the enforceability of restrictive covenants such as covenants not to compete, covenants for non-solicitation, etc. If one of the agreements subject to strict scrutiny by the courts was unreasonable, then the entire agreement was void, and the courts could not modify the agreements to make them lawful.
Later, a constitutional amendment in Georgia backed by business interests was passed, which became effective in May 2011. Now, under the Georgia Restrictive Covenants Act, restrictive covenants entered into after the effective date of the new law can be "blue-penciled" by the court to modify the agreement into something lawful and enforceable, if it is found that the original agreement is problematic under the law. The end result is that the court will look to enforce, as close as possible, the original intent of the agreement.
Older agreements that are unreasonable continue to be more problematic for employers. A case in point this month from the Georgia Court of Appeals demonstrates the predicament. In Vulcan Steel Structures, Inc. et. al. v. McCarty et. al., (Georgia Court of Appeals, A14A0803, October 6, 2014), the court affirmed the trial court's findings that the restrictive covenants were unenforceable. In that case, the employer had an employee (McCarty) sign a non-solicitation covenant that was to last for two years following the termination of the employment. The agreement prohibited McCarty from conducting business with former clients of the employer, even when such business was not solicited. The court stated, "We hold that the non-solicitation of customers covenant in the agreement is unenforceable because it prohibits McCarty from accepting business from unsolicited clients."
Had the employer re-executed the agreement following the effective date of the new act, the court could have blue-penciled the agreement if needed to bring it into compliance with Georgia law. But, because this agreement fell under the older law, the court could not modify it, and found that the agreement was simply not enforceable.
The calendar matters in cases involving restrictive covenants. If you want your covenants to be enforced - or at least have a greater chance of being enforced - then you may wish to have employees execute new agreements that are dated following the effective date of the new law. Before doing so, be sure to check with your company's lawyer to ensure that the agreement is drafted well and is proper. And, if you are an employee faced with signing an agreement, you should understand that restrictive covenants can be enforced in Georgia, and that violative language can be modified as appropriate by the courts to help enforce the agreement. As such, be sure that you fully understand any restrictive covenant before you sign it, and consult with a lawyer if needed.

FINRA recently issued Regulatory Notice 14-40, cautioning broker-dealer firms (and associated persons) against including overly restrictive confidentiality language in both settlement agreements and in arbitration discovery stipulations. FINRA asserts that overly broad confidentiality agreements can be treated as a violation of Conduct Rule 2010 and can result in enforcement action by the regulator.
It has long been a policy of FINRA (back to the NASD days) that firms could not prohibit a customer from cooperating with the regulators and discussing information about the matter, and guidance had been issued to that effect. In this notice, FINRA modifies its guidance somewhat to specifically state that a firm (or associated person) cannot prohibit another person from initiating contact with the regulator, or with the SEC. Previous guidance focused on language that would specifically allow the customer to respond to regulatory requests for information. Further, FINRA asserts that discovery stipulations in arbitration cases cannot require a person to keep documents received in discovery confidential and therefore not be allowed to share them with the regulator.
Firms and their counsel should review both their current settlement practices, including language in their settlement agreements, as well as any standard discovery stipulations and modify them as necessary in light of this guidance. While the regulatory notice itself is not a formal rule, it demonstrates the regulator's mindset and policy positions and shows how they can be expected to attempt to enforce Rule 2010 in the future. Forewarned is forearmed.
In a report and press release issued this week, the Public Investors Arbitration Bar Association (PIABA) issued a report asserting that FINRA's arbitration panel pool lacks diversity and also took issue with the "almost total lack of transparency in how the FINRA arbitrators are recruited and what disclosures they make" according to the report. In the report, PIABA asserts that the arbitrator pool is about 80 percent make, that the average age of arbitrators is 69 years old with 40 percent of the pool aged 70 or older and 17 percent aged 80 or older.
In connection with the report, PIABA has made several recommendations for reforming the arbitration process, including calling for securities arbitration to be optional for investors, thereby giving them the option to proceed with disputes in arbitration or to seek to resolve their cases in court. Additionally, PIABA called on the SEC to take steps to seek to improve the transparency of the arbitration forum, to examiner arbitrator recruiting practices and to evaluate whether minimum standards for arbitrators equates to the highest quality of arbitrators or whether other criteria should be used.
In this short video, I'll share with you my review of FINRA's report of disciplinary actions for September 2014. There are some interesting cases here, along with the standard gamut of U4 violations, OBAs (outside business activity), selling away and others.
According to a September 25, 2014, Information Notice, FINRA announced that individuals who had been registered with a broker-dealer or investment adviser may now access their individual snapshot report online. According to the notice, "A Snapshot contains information that has been reported about an individual on Forms U4, U5 and U6, including residential and employment history, professional designations and disclosure events, as well as other information such as examination and continuing education history. While much of the information provided in a Snapshot also is available through FINRA BrokerCheck® and the SEC's Investment Adviser Public Disclosure database, a Snapshot contains some additional information that is not available through these databases."
Formerly registered individuals may find this to be a very useful tool to get more complete information about their record contained in CRD. This page appears to be the current site for individuals to request online access to their snapshot report.
Via Regulatory Notice 14-37, FINRA is seeking comment on a revamped proposal to implement the Comprehensive Automated Risk Data System (CARDS) system, which would require firms to submit certain comprehensive trade data and account data to FINRA on a regular basis.
As FINRA indicates, if this proposal is approved, firms would face costs in setting up and maintaining systems to comply with the CARDS proposal. One of my preliminary concerns is that the implementation of that system may then lead to firms facing additional costs in responding to regulatory requests for information (or defending unnecessary examinations and inquiries) based upon data analyzed by regulators.
In addition to the costs of adopting technology systems necessary to comply with these reporting requirements, firms will also incur costs in revamping written supervisory systems to comply with the reporting and supervision requirements, and then in carrying out the continued reporting requirements. Further, we expect that even if clearing firms would handle certain reporting for fully-disclosed introducing firms, some of these costs may be passed on to the introducing firm (either immediately or at contract renewal time) because of the increased costs being incurred by the clearing firm.
My sense is that it is likely that FINRA will approve a proposal to adopt the CARDS system and seek SEC approval to adopt the related rules and begin implementation of CARDS. But how that system looks can possibly be influenced by comments from the industry in response to this request for comment. Firm executives may wish to review this notice with key area leaders including operations, technology, compliance and legal, and then consider submitting comments to FINRA in response to the request for comment. FINRA will be receiving comments until December 1, 2014, according to Regulatory Notice 14-37.
Last week, the Court of Appeals of Georgia affirmed a trial court decision finding that a restrictive covenant in a retail lease was not overly ambiguous and was not therefore unenforceable, and thereafter affirmed the trial court ruling in favor of the landlord. The upshot for business owners here is to understand that restrictive clauses in leases can be enforced.
In a nutshell, the tenant operated a women's clothing boutique near an Atlanta-area shopping mall. The lease included a restriction preventing the tenant from opening or operating another store within a five mile radius of the leased location without the landlord's consent. The lease provided that if the tenant breached this term of the lease, the tenant would be in default of the lease. The lease also granted the tenant an opportunity to renew the lease for an additional period of time provided that it was not in default.
As the expiration of the lease drew near, the tenant contacted the landlord and sought to renew the lease, but was advised that because the tenant had opened and was operating two other women's clothing stores within the five-mile radius, the tenant was in default and the lease would not be extended. The tenant filed for a declaratory judgment that it was not in default. The trial court granted summary judgment to the landlord, and the appeal then followed.
The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court, finding that the restrictive clause was not overly ambiguous, and applied the statutory rules of contract construction to resolve the ambiguity as to the meaning of the words "another store" in favor of the landlord. The court further held that the application of statutory construction rules did not equate to any impermissible blue-penciling of the agreement by the court, and further affirmed the trial court's findings that the duration and scope of the restricted activity were reasonable. The case is Fab'Rik Boutique, Inc. v. Shops Around Lenox, Inc., (A14A0937, 9/8/2014).
The take-away for businesses is to ensure that your contracts are carefully crafted and that you understand, and agree to, all restrictive covenants and clauses in the document before you sign it, because it may very well be sought to be enforced against you. Courts can and do enforce restrictive clauses and covenants in Georgia.
