Leveraging Lunacy: How Bill Gothard Rode a Wave of Evangelical Goofiness
Recently, an old article of mine, "Trapped in the Shadow of 'God's Anointed': Breaking free from an Unbiblical Concept" (MCOI Journal, Volume 8 No. 3, Fall 2002, pp. 12-15) was re-posted by the Recovering Grace (RG) web site, which is devoted to helping people break free from the spiritual bondage caused by the teachings of Bill Gothard and his Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP), as well as his Advanced Training Institute (ATI). The mere fact that it was republished there is a bit interesting, since the article does not mention Gothard. Nevertheless, it appears that the RG staff, who have all had involvement in Gothardism, resonated with what it said.
And so did many of those who commented on the article. One of them wrote:
Even as I type this, I have that clammy feeling of being eaten by bears or zapped with lightening [sic] for even questioning the 'anointing of Mr. Gothard.'
The misappropriation of the biblical term "anointed" by church leaders over the past generation has produced results that do not merely border on lunacy, but are actually the embodiment of it. In most of evangelicalism the lunacy has been more subtle, its chief manifestation being authoritarian and abusive leaders who held themselves above accountability. You know: like Bill Gothard. He did not even need to use the term or refer to the concept in order to leverage the spell it had already cast over vast segments of the church. Like a surfer on a surfboard, he simply rode this example of goofy theology like a wave.
But, of course, the pro-Gothard trolls who visit the RG web site did not waste any time raising objections that the article did not refer to Gothard, and did not demonstrate that he ever claimed to be "anointed." How, then, can it be relevant? What follows from here is the response (slightly edited) that I gave on the RG web site.
When I wrote this article some twelve years ago, I was not addressing any specific person, church, or organization, but rather I was addressing evangelicalism as a whole on a problem that is common among evangelicals in general. Even so, that does not mean that Bill Gothard was not on my mind when I wrote it.
If Gothard is not a part of evangelicalism, then I suppose you could conclude that nothing in my article applies in any way to him. But last I heard, he has been a "mover and shaker" in evangelicalism since at least the early 1970s, if not earlier. He has been written up in evangelical magazines and has been the subject of evangelical columnists since at least the mid-'70s. I have come across references to him in several evangelical books. The first book about Gothard (to my knowledge) was written by an evangelical Lutheran pastor in 1976 (Gothard, The man and His Ministry: An Evaluation, by Wilfred Bockelman). The sex scandal involving his brother rocked much of the evangelical church in the early '80s. Given all this it seems hard to believe that he is not aware of common characteristics and tendencies of evangelicalism, since he himself is a product of evangelicalism.
The specific reason I wrote this article is that there is a tendency in wide swaths of the evangelical subculture to unbiblically elevate leaders to a level where it becomes very difficult to hold them accountable. We continue to see news stories about the fallout from this practice today. In some cases this tendency has been woven into the fabric of a given church's or denomination's character; it is part of the general ethos that everyone takes for granted. In other cases this idea enters churches when strong, charismatic leaders assume control. In these cases the tendency to elevate the leader has often been introduced through new teaching. In either case, tragedies (or should we say atrocities?) have ensued when savvy individuals take extreme advantage of a pervasive culture that fosters a general willingness to follow. And in many cases throughout much of the 20th century, the expression "Touch not mine anointed!" (1 Chr. 16:22; Psa. 105:15) was frequently used to defend tyrannical leaders. I, for one, remember hearing it cited in discussions about church disputes when I was a new believer back in the late 1970s. The view remains common that pastors and leaders are special "men of God," a cut above the rest of us. And it is easy to see how such an unbiblical view of authority, promoted by a popular evangelical teacher such as Bill Gothard, and embraced by a large portion of the evangelical church, became an additional support for already-existing authoritarian leadership practices both inside and outside IBLP.
Did Gothard ever apply the words "Touch not mine anointed!" directly to himself? Not as far as I know. But that is beside the point.
For one thing, why should he? Experienced manipulators know that it's better to have others say good things about you than to say good things about yourself. It keeps you looking both humble an heroic at the same time. The leader who surrounds himself with a crowd of well-trained sycophants not only has an unpaid PR staff, but a team of defenders ready to swing into action at the slightest sign of opposition, quoting verses like "Touch not mine anointed!" as part of their rationale, so Gothard doesn't have to. Given what I know from firsthand experience in evangelicalism over the past 38 years, I find it difficult to believe that Gothard's supporters have never quoted it on his behalf.
For another thing, he's not that stupid. He surely not only knows that he would be exposing himself to well-earned charges of spiritual despotism and unflattering comparisons with Diotrephes (3 Jn. 9) if he actually went on record claiming special anointed status, but he also knows that people are more susceptible to subtle intimidation than they are to its more crude and obvious forms. When a person out-and-out claims to be anointed, he or she runs the risk of looking silly, if not a bit pathetic. It would be far easier to brush off Gothard's direct claim to being anointed than it has been to ignore some of the things people have reported that he has actually said to them. I'm talking about things like, "Bad things have happened to people who people who have gone up against me … some have lost their businesses … some had spouses die…" Why would a spiritual despot even need to quote 1 Chr. 16:22 when he can simply evoke the fear of the consequences for supposedly breaking it in other people's minds? And all the while he gives himself plausible deniability that he ever told anyone that he was "special" or "anointed?"
In 1983 Harold L. Busséll wrote a book called Unholy Devotion: Why Cults Lure Christians. His point for writing it was that there are certain unbiblical emphases in the evangelical subculture that make many evangelicals easy prey for cults. Many evangelicals are taught that accepting Christ and/or living according to Scripture will cause you to be ceaselessly joyful and "victorious" over sin. When some conclude that this is not to be found in their local churches, they come to believe that they have found it in a cult that is able to fake it long enough to suck them in. Other evangelicals are taught to identify all their inner feelings, impulses, and the occasional odd thought that pops into their heads with "the Lord's leading" (often informing others about it with the words, "the Lord said to me," instead of describing what they actually experienced), and there are cults that specialize in using that as a hook to reel in unsuspecting Christians. Still other evangelicals are taught that the only leaders worth following are those brimming with blunt, unyielding, and aggressive self-confidence and who "aren't afraid to offend people" (translation: they are obnoxious revilers), and there are legions of cult leaders with the "spiritual gift of swagger" who act like magnets for people with this view.
Bill Gothard was able to draw people into his vortex because he was "speaking the language" of so many evangelicals who had been poorly taught about so many things, but were particularly ill-informed on the Scriptural view of authority, which is the cornerstone of his propaganda. He knew that there was a strong craving for order and authority in American evangelicalism—especially in the chaotic days of the late '60s and early '70s—and he took advantage of it. He built his own little kingdom, his own little spiritual empire, inside of which he harnessed evangelical attitudes, concepts, and buzz-phrases for his own ends. While he may never have directly quoted "Touch not mine anointed!" he has certainly displayed a fondness for the word "anointed" itself, and other things he has said have tended to apply the meaning of those words to himself.
I had already written several articles about Bill Gothard by the time "Trapped in the Shadow of 'God's Anointed'" was first published. Our book, A Matter of Basic Principles: Bill Gothard and the Christian Life, was in the process of being edited and printed at the time. I was then in the process of turning my thoughts to the currents within evangelicalism that made Bill Gothard and his organization possible. The theme of "Touch not mine anointed!" has been and continues to be one of those currents, so that's what I wrote about. But even if Gothard never explicitly said that that verse applies to him, he has certainly acted and spoken as if it did. And so have many of his followers.

Thanks for this article for the context and history.
I had close friends stuck in Got-Hard's Grip for decades and this is such a relief to have him finally exposed.
Especially nauseating that a single man needed to order the details of their daily lives in their homes!
Thanks, Ron. This is all helpful. It is also very enlightening to realize that I Chr. 16:22 refers to THE ENTIRE NATION as "anointed ones"!
It is interesting to see evangelicalism from the outside-in, when for decades I had been inside its midst. It truly is a subculture, and I strongly suspect that the "strong craving for order and authority" is part of what leads so many to have "faith in their faith" rather than faith in God…
…I am glad that I am now freed: though I did not want our separation some years ago, I am now glad that it happened – I am a better person, a better Christian. And I have fallen into love with Jesus – something I could not have done from within evangelicalism.
When you say "evangelicalism" you paint with an incredibly wide brush. Billy Graham is an evangelical who has lead countless people to Christ, doing his best to connect them with a good local fellowship, avoiding leader pitfalls by having a wise board of directors who are not "yes men" and following their leading. I beg you all to quit saying "evangelicals" in your criticisms, because it is like saying all Whites are one thing and all Latinos are another, good or bad it is not truth because you have cast too large a net. Certainly ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God but to my mind that is the only wide brush we should use. It hurts to see the great work of God performed by humble "evangelical" servants, stained by well meaning Christians lumping them in with the few self serving "evangelicals" who crow loudly leading people astray. YES, expose these proud fools, but please use terms that identify ONLY them. Thank you.
Ron, Dan basically said something I was going to say, except I wanted to add one remark. Brettany, I agree with Dan that your remark was more or less connecting dots with spray paint w/respect to evangelicals. But in truth, I could care less if you think all evangelicals are as what you portrayed them as – because the One Relationship you have with Jesus is the main thing, and I rejoice with you in that!
All Christians are partakers of Christ's Anointing.
Heidelberg Catechism Questions:
31. Why is He called "Christ," that is, Anointed?
Because He is ordained of God the Father and anointed with the Holy Ghost[1] to be our chief Prophet and Teacher,[2] who has fully revealed to us the secret counsel and will of God concerning our redemption;[3] and our only High Priest,[4] who by the one sacrifice of His body, has redeemed us, and ever lives to make intercession for us with the Father;[5] and our eternal King, who governs us by His Word and Spirit, and defends and preserves us in the redemption obtained for us.[6]
[1]Heb. 1:9. [2]Deut. 18:15; Acts 3:22. [3]Jn. 1:18; 15:15. [4]Ps. 110:4; Heb. 7:21.[5]Rom. 5:9-10. [6]Ps. 2:6; Lk. 1:33; Mt. 28:18; *Isa. 61:1-2; *I Pet. 2:24; *Rev. 19:16.
32. But why are you called a Christian?
Because by faith I am a member of Christ[1] and thus a partaker of His anointing,[2] in order that I also may confess His Name,[3] may present myself a living sacrifice of thankfulness to Him,[4] and with a free conscience may fight against sin and the devil in this life,[5] and hereafter in eternity reign with Him over all creatures.[6]
Lynn, I am aware that not all evangelicals are as I described, but far, FAR too many are.
None of us have all of God's truth and insights, but as a whole, this group demonstrably assumes that it does (despite pious lip-service to the contrary).
I am not speaking as an outsider, but one who was saved by Jesus and then led into the Evangelical Church by God as a young adult, and then spent the next thirty-odd years with my fellow believers there. As time went on, I became increasingly uneasy with what I have come to recognize as a subculture, which has a distinct "inside" and "outside," that (I am convinced) is detrimental to the cause of Christ in this world…
…When someone looks upon another human being with eyes of religious suspicion, animosity, hatred (and even worse), and sees THAT sort of behavior as God-pleasing and resists pleas from God's Spirit and other children to reconsider, then THAT which they believe to be an integral part of their faith has actually become their idol. That is why I suggest such people has "faith in their faith" and not faith in God. Is this an absolute statement? Goodness no, nor is it a place where one inhabits in all ways and all times, BUT when an entire branch of Christ's Body becomes more known for what they hate than for the love of Jesus, then you can be sure that this body has lifted something as god over God…
…I had inklings of this from nearly the beginning of my walk with Jesus, and they grew through the decades, and when I faced an existential crisis (FAR more difficult for me than death), what I was told and how I was treated did not not come close to the standard of Christ's calling: what I had seen the Evangelical Church do to (only Abba knows how many people), it was now doing to me and people God called me to love and serve (and partly *because* I was loving these people as Jesus loves)…
…I have certainly left the Evangelical subculture as a toxic place, and that is also why many others are leaving. I am on the edge of considering still considering myself an evangelical (little-e), but even there, I may need to leave over what I am learning of Biblical scholarship…
…Have I left Christ? No…to whom else could I go? I want to be in union with my Creator; I want to be a giver and not a taker; I want to part of what is beautiful and graceful in God's poetic creation, all that will be re-created in our lovely Savior's *extravagance*…I want to remain true to the one who has brought me into unusually great and even "scandalous" healing, and continues to bind and heal. I want to drink of the vine and bear God's nourishing fruit for others, whether they pick, eat and enjoy, or whether they grind it into the ground of the soil of their hearts. I asked God to bind me to the altar so I could not run when times of doubt, fear and even terror came. I am desired, liked, appreciated and called Beloved by the only One who truly matters in the universe…to whom else would I go…who else's touch is so gentle as to break my heart and remake it anew?
To the god too many Evangelicals worship, I neither fear its Hell, nor am I greedy for its Heaven – BUT I belong to the Lord, my Love: an Abba who judges wisely, who holds and protects; Jesus, the one who saves me and walks with me; Spirit who indwells, teaches, corrects, assures and comforts – they promise to keep me and to re-make me into Christlikeness no matter what.
Disclosure: I am long-time married Christian woman of transsexual experience, and our Lord moves us from wilderness to wilderness as an oasis of love, and now we are planted among God's precious "lepers" in the transgender community who cannot see Jesus for many in the Church baring the way.
There is one characteristic of evangelicals (small-e) that distinguishes them from other parts of the Church, and that is their core-belief that the Great Commission is to be carried-out by every believer in some way or another. In short: be living, vocal proclamation of The Gospel. With this in mind, an important question to consider is: how effective are we being as a Church, as individuals, in the lives of people who have not yet committed their lives to Christ? We cannot see into people's hearts as God can; at best we can only infer an answer, but even an inference is useful and can damn or save in context.
When non-scientists speak of "anecdotal" information, it is quite often in the context of dismissing a view they do not agree with. Controversial issues are often discussed in universal terms which cannot be proven with billions of examples any more than by a single example – framing difficult things universally is rhetorically powerful and sounds authoritative, but in the end, data is merely anecdotes-multiplied. Information, on the other hand, is what we create from from data: quantitative data (as with formal studies), and qualitative data (of which an anecdote is a primary example). Qualitative data (usually) generates the questions we see in quantitative studies, forming the justification required for the formal effort to measure, count and tabulate. Wide-ranging, formal studies are not usually conducted unless a pressing need is perceived and the cost is underwritten.
May I suggest that few in the evangelical church have set-out to formally, qualitatively study difficult questions such as the one I presented above (which is closely related to my prior assertions)? It is my (educated) opinion that asking such questions are actively discouraged by the very same sort of power dynamics decried by the author of the article we are discussing. Until "scales" are removed from sufficient and sufficiently-positioned eyes, there will be little in the way of "convincing" statistical studies, which means that some people will feel justified in dismissing the bulk of existing "anecdotal" (or Qualitative) data. (It is interesting to note that faith must rest on "soft" qualitative data rather than on the "harder" quantitative, or even "solid" logical proof. Nobody among us has logical proof, and only people of the Old Testament time and relationship with God had anything like qualitative data on God's existence {presented as a series of "anecdotes," if you will}. We must content ourselves with what seems to be less, what seems to be illegitimate.)
The Barna Group has undertaken a formal study of how an important segment of the non-Christian world views the Church, and especially the Evangelical branch. Since it is core to evangelicals to "reach people for Jesus," it makes sense to see how the "unreached" view us. That is what this study attempts to measure. Sadly, it is not pleasant reading, and not because the world is "naturally against God and believers" as we are routinely taught. This study is examined in the book unChristian by Kinnaman & Lyons. My prayer is that it ignites prayerful consideration and further formal study.
Meanwhile we can conduct our own "informal" studies. Data concerning these difficult questions (and supporting my assertions above) can be had by anyone for the effort it takes to collect it, much as manna has fallen from the sky. Consider any reasonable number of examples "data-points" from any of the (far from complete) list below:
* On any given online article concerning a controversial social and or socioeconomic topic, note and tabulate the author's opinion, then note and tabulate the comments presented by "believers" presenting themselves in either a Christlike or un-Christlike tone/manner. This is a two-fer, maybe more! (Notice how glaringly often "saints" behave like sinners and "sinners" behave like saints.) To get you started, look at some articles about Chik-fil-a or any article that presents transgender people in a less than condemning light.
* Church marquees – here is a "fun" one: Evangelical sound-bites writ large! I've read a lot of them that would make Jesus weep. Note, count, tabulate.
* As a visitor to some Evangelical congregations, reveal yourself to be a some form of LGBT person (or even a "come-out" as a "progressive!". Note and tabulate the reactions. Timothy Kurek, an anti-gay straight Christian posed as a gay man to see how he would be received. Even just consider doing this: do you get the "willies" and a cold pit in your stomach imagining the reaction of your friends, family, congregation, others? THAT should tell you quite a lot and maybe make my assertions above a bit more plausible.
* Interview some Evangelical people, ask them some hard questions, THEN ask if you can quote them. Note and tabulate!
* Read the statements of faith of some Evangelical churches. How often controversial issues (such as LGBT+ ones) are cast in the position of first importance, of salvation priority. Note and tabulate.
* Examine the public stands taken by individual Evangelical congregations and also their overseeing organizations. Note and tabulate the ratio of "for" and "against" statements.
* Interview some people outside the Evangelical church as the Barna Group did. Ask them what they think of when the Church is mentioned. Does it seem that Evangelicals dominate the mind-share here? Note and tabulate.
* Specifically interview LGBT+ people and other people on the margins, asking them what they think the Church thinks of them. Note & tabulate.
* Ask some Evangelicals what is necessary to be saved. Ask whether gays, transgender people, Democrats, pro-abortion, and communist people can be Christians. Remind them of John 6:28-29. Note and tabulate answers and reactions.
* Ask World Vision how many Evangelicals dropped the children they had covenanted to support with FOOD and other necessities over WV's attempt to disengage from the LGBT part of the culture war. (And the number of Evangelicals who had the unmitigated-gall to request "their" children back when WV backpedaled a day or so later.)
* Suggest to other Evangelicals that you wish to remove yourself from the culture war. Note and tabulate the reactions. Do this with any hot-button issue from creationism vs. evolution to gays and transgender people, to women in the church, to guns, to political affiliation.
In most of these cases (and many others), one can get an intuitive sense of the data by simply examining the language the question must be framed-in in order to make-sense to the respondent. For example, "marginal" people are marginal by definition. Who makes that determination? It is the surrounding culture, and in the USA, both Christians and non-Christians will generally assert or concede that it has been Christian influence that has delineated marginal people (and especially in recent decades). This is not a new phenomena, as the laws of the Pentateuch separated Israel from surrounding cultures, creating Jews and Gentiles {and "Gentile" is NOT a kind word!}.)
Consider the emphasis espoused by front-line Evangelical para-church organizations and leaders: Focus on the family/Jim Daly, James Dobson (founder of FOTF), American Family Association, Franklin Graham, Christian Anti-Defamation Commission, Abiding Truth Ministries, One Million Moms, Concerned Women for America, Southern Baptist Association/Albert Mohler, Family Research Council, Liberty Counsel, Home School Legal Defense Association, National Organization for Marriage, Traditional Values Coalition, and most high-profile Evanglical churches and their pastors (such as Salvation Army and Calvary Chapel/Chuck Smith). These are just a few examples that come easily.
Prayerfully draw your own conclusions as you assemble your multiplied anecdotal data into information. But I caution you: prepare to be summarily dismissed by other believers, and steel yourself against the backlash of daring to question the Evangelical subculture: you risk damaged relationship, ostracisation, slander and even excommunication. It is a toxic culture which makes inquiry dangerous.
The "world's opinion" is *EXACTLY* the point if you wish to reach people (or more accurately, be used of God's Spirit to reach people). You cannot reach anyone who perceives you as a hater and that is how non-Christians have come to view us.
Ron, you need to express a more thoughtful reply if you wish to be taken seriously:
Instead of dismissing my well-considered and perfectly valid points, I challenge you to detail *EXACTLY* what you mean be everything in your statement: "Your latest comment is so filled with half truths, non sequiturs, and outright fallacies that it is difficult to know where to start." Your replies merely serve to support my points and demonstrate the hardness of your heart. (For the benefit of our readers, it might help for you to define your terms "non sequiturs," "fallacies" and separate what you believe to be half truth and half falsity.)
Thanks for this post. I appreciate the response by C.W. Powell from the Heidelberg Catechism. It seems the older I get, the more I have come to appreciate the role of the Reformed confessions; they have so well crysralized the teaching and big picture of Scripture that they are truly valuable for safeguarding from abusers and false teachers. Confessional churches that have gone downhill have often done so because they had forgotten to really pay attention to their own confessional documents.
The Evangelical part of the Church has elevated non-essentials above Christ, arguing with people instead of loving them as Jesus would and leaving any convicting that needs to be done to God's Spirit. THIS puts a stumbling-block before pre-believers. The very attitudes that permeate this subculture 'say' "God hates you, and I hate you too because there is nothing and no-one worthwhile outside the context of the Church and people who are 'saved.'" Some Evangelicals actually say this, and most I have met in over three decades believe these things at some level such that they influence how they interact with people at large. The subculture has become like a double-bind where mutually impossible requirements are placed in juxtaposition and locked together by an "authority" which will not permit the arrangement to be examined and seen for the toxic impossibility it is.
Too many of us are worshiping an Old Testament view of God, idolizing Paul, and relegating Jesus to a figurehead position…
…If God's priority was judgement, then NONE of us would be here. But we know that God's priority is love. Why? Because Jesus came, was sent to take the eternal consequences of the crap of the world and our part in it – something we could not do and survive…
…I am not sure how to put all this better, but the "research" I proposed above will help anyone "get it" who has a a softened heat. Let us allow God to be God and not stand between people and Jesus as if we could determine God's dinner guest-list. Please!!

reduced plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone and corticosterone responses to acute stress, increased hippocampal glucocorticoid receptor messenger RNA expression, enhanced glucocorticoid feedback sensitivity, and decreased levels of hypothalamic corticotropin-releasing hormone messenger RNA (Caldji et al., in press). In humans, children exposed to parenting characterized by conflict, aggression, and neglect show disruptions in stress-responsive biological regulatory systems (sympathetic-adrenomedullary, HPA), poor health behaviors, and poor skills for emotional and social regulation (Repetti et al., in press). Abusive and neglectful family environments not only enhance risk for disease, injury, and premature death among children, they also interact with temperament to affect a broad array of mental and physical health disorders in adolescence and adulthood, including propensity for violence, depression, and risk for certain chronic diseases, including ischemic heart disease, some cancers, liver disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a progressive disease process most commonly resulting from smoking (e.g.; Felitti et al., 1998; Walker et al., 1999).
Other early system dysregulations also are implicated in predisease pathways to adverse outcomes. Serotonergic dysregulation has been tied to enhanced risk for depression, suicide, and aggression, among other adverse outcomes. For example, depressed abused children showed elevated prolactin responses to a serotonin challenge, and those responses were correlated with clinical ratings of aggressive behavior and family history of suicide attempt (Kaufman et al., 1998). Animal studies suggest an important role for maternal behavior in moderating risk for serotonergic dysregulation. Here genetic risk factors play a role. For example, the short form of the 5-HTT allele, a gene related to serotonin transporter efficiency, confers low serotonin reuptake efficiency in monkeys, whereas the long form of the allele is associated with normal serotonin reuptake efficiency (Suomi, 1997). Monkeys with the short 5-HTT allele who were raised by peers (a risk factor for reactive, impulsive temperament) showed lower concentrations of the primary central serotonin metabolite (5-HIAA) than did monkeys with the long allele. But for monkeys raised by their mothers, primary serotonin metabolite concentrations were identical for monkeys with either allele. This pattern clearly suggests a protective effect of maternal behavior on expression of genetic risk for serotonin dysfunction.
Additional evidence for the interaction between genetic expression and early experience is provided by a study that randomly assigned rhesus monkey neonates selectively bred for differences in temperamental reactivity to foster mothers who were either unusually nurturant or within the normal range of mothering behavior (Suomi, 1987). Infants whose pedigrees suggested normal reactivity exhibited the expected patterns of biobehavioral development, independent of the relative nurturance of the fos-

Your Best Mobile Broadband Bets for 2011
If you want Internet access for your laptop when you're on the road rather than just in the coffee shop, then you need a subscription to a mobile broadband service. And you're in luck—it's a highly competitive market out there right now, with seven national networks fighting for your money.
But the best of the seven, judging by data gathered by TopTenReviews, is Verizon Wireless (VZW). While VZW was neck-and-neck with No. 2 AT&T in terms of coverage area, transmission speed and reliability, it beat AT&T in terms of overage charges. Basically, all the carriers have a basic plan charging you about $60 for 5 gigabytes of data traffic monthly—and then they charge by the megabyte for the overage. Since surfing one website can consume a megabyte's worth of traffic, overage charges can ultimately become hefty.
AT&T charges 49 cents per megabyte for overage, while VZW only charges 5 cents. So downloading that 1 gigabyte home movie as overage would cost $501.76 with AT&T but $51.20 with VZW. (Or, you could stick to unmetered landlines for big downloads.)
Coming in at No. 3 is Sprint, which suffered from international coverage issues—it either doesn't have any, and where it does, the price is sky-high. However, on the company's standard domestic plan, overage is only 5 cents per megabyte.
T-Mobile placed No. 4, getting good ratings for customer service, but bad ratings for broadband network coverage. (Its voice coverage is better.) Overage charges are an uncomfortable 20 cents per megabyte.
Comcast, at No. 5 on the list, is still building its network and so far falls behind T-Mobile in coverage. It breaks ranks with the major carriers by charging $40 rather than $60 for a 5 gigabyte package. Overage charges are 5 cents per megabyte.
In the No. 6 slot, U.S. Cellular charges the same for overage as No. 2 AT&T, or 49 cents per megabyte. Although the network is upgrading, it relies on slower transmission technology, usually called 2.5G rather than the 3G (i.e., third generation) technology used by its competitors. Also, its local coverage is often provided by subcontractors.
On the whole, 5 gigabytes per month is probably plenty for most people. With prices for 5 gigabyte packages being so competitive (always ask about discounts and promotions) your first question should be coverage. Does the network in question offer solid coverage where you are and where you plan on going?
Finally, any time you can pull over and use Wi-Fi, do so. Throughput will be several times faster than mobile broadband, and there's no overage meter.

The Bears' second training camp under coach Marc Trestman begins Friday at Olivet Nazarene University. Here's a quick look at what to expect in Bourbonnais:
Accountability test
Don't forget that Trestman's first camp opened with what he called an "accountability test" for his players. The test is about gauging a player's commitment, especially after a lengthy break from the team. It was a staple of his run with the Montreal Alouettes in the CFL.
There are three sets of 300-yard shuttles, with players timed by position. There aren't sanctions for failing to meet the established times, but, as Trestman said last year, "It's an opportunity to see if somebody is not ready to go."
Cutler watch?
The budding relationship between quarterback Jay Cutler and Trestman was scrutinized throughout training camp last year. The Sun-Times even ran a daily "Cutler Watch" because Trestman was implementing his complex and meticulous offense with Cutler in a contract year.
But this year, the competition at backup quarterback between Jordan Palmer and Jimmy Clausen will be broken down by every completion and miss. Other competitions, including at linebacker and safety, also will take precedence.
Mark the calendar
Trestman's morning practices will continue. All but three practices are scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Family Fest at Soldier Field is at 6:45 p.m. Aug. 2. Practices on Aug. 4 and 10 begin at 3 p.m. (gates open at 2:30).
• Players report Wednesday, and the first practice is Friday. Players won't wear pads until next Sunday. Camp breaks
Aug. 13.
• The Bears' first preseason game is Aug. 8 against the Eagles at Soldier Field.
— Adam L. Jahns
Article Extras
Updated: August 21, 2014 6:40AM
The embarrassing moments seemed endless for the Bears' once-respected defense in 2013. Meanwhile, the impressive moments for the offense seemed boundless, regardless of who was at quarterback.
If some balance is restored, the Bears can be a formidable team in 2014.
"You've got to move forward," linebacker Lance Briggs said.
That the Bears do, especially on defense. So it's you, Mr. Briggs, who tops the Sun-Times' list of the 10 most important players to the Bears' success.
1. LB Lance Briggs
The Bears believe a new scheme under coordinator Mel Tucker and several personnel changes will bring dramatic improvement.
"Everything we did was almost all atrocious," Briggs said of last season.
Making the defense — which was last against the run, last in sacks and second-to-last in scoring — respectable again will require an exceptional season by Briggs.
In the final year of his contract and his first in a new scheme, Briggs has to make the calls for a defense with many new faces.
Staying on the field is priority No. 1 for Briggs. The defense's demise intensified last season after Briggs was lost with a fractured shoulder.
2. QB Jay Cutler
If Jay Cutler stays healthy, his elite talents finally should turn into elite numbers, surpassing 30 touchdown passes and approaching 5,000 passing yards.
This isn't crazy Kool-Aid talk, either.
Cutler won over coach Marc Trestman, a renowned quarterback guru, and was rewarded with a seven-year, $126.7 million contract. He has the best receiving tandem in the league, a star running back, a coach and a scheme he believes in and an offensive line that put an end to the self-described "hit parade" he endured.
It's Pro Bowl or bust (or injury) for Cutler.
3. WR Brandon Marshall
It appears Alshon Jeffery will be nearly unstoppable, making catches in leaps and bounds. But Brandon Marshall still is Cutler's go-to guy on the field and confidant off it. He's the elite receiver that Jeffery still has to prove he can be, producing season after season.
At this point last year, Marshall still was feeling out what was expected of him in Trestman's offense. He turned out to be the top target and the top decoy who allowed Jeffery and tight end Martellus Bennett to flourish.
In Year 2 with Trestman, Marshall could improve on last season's numbers (100 catches, 1,295 yards, 12 touchdowns) even if Jeffery continues his rise.
4. DE Jared Allen
Quarterbacks weren't exactly shaking in their cleats last year against the Bears, who tied the lowly Jaguars with a meager 31 sacks.
Enter Allen.
A five-time Pro Bowl player, Allen won't shudder at the mention of replacing Julius Peppers. Allen actually will be an upgrade in sacks. He's had 56½ to Peppers' 37½ over the last four seasons, during which the Vikings totaled 166 to the Bears' 139. His gregarious personality will help, too.
5. DE Lamarr Houston
Houston was the Bears' marquee free-agent signing before they added Allen. The Bears see a star in the making in Houston, whose strong play got lost in the black hole that is the Raiders these days.
Tucker and line coach Paul Pasqualoni are excited about his potential. Whether it's at left end or at three-technique tackle, Houston can be used in different ways. He also has a nasty edge that can spur a group that seemed void of emotion at times last season.
6. RB Matt Forte
Quarterbacks weren't the only ones to benefit from a regime change at Halas Hall. Forte finally was used last season as he should have been for years, putting up star numbers and negating talk about the devaluation of running backs in the game.
Trestman and offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer unleashed Forte upon the NFL, changing the running scheme and using him in the passing game. Forte fell 67 yards short of 2,000 total yards last year. Can he top it in 2014?
7. CB Charles Tillman
Kyle Fuller might be Tillman's eventual replacement, but in 2014, Tillman still will be tasked with covering top receivers. Let's be honest: Fuller isn't ready for Calvin Johnson.
Tillman was on course for his third consecutive Pro Bowl before injuries derailed him last season. His three interceptions and three forced fumbles in eight games are numbers that other starting corners only can dream of for a full season.
8. WR Alshon Jeffery
Jeffery's breakout campaign helped keep the Bears' offense churning when Josh McCown played last season. Jeffery will bear the expectations of repeating, if not besting his success (89 catches, 1,421 yards, seven touchdowns). But everything is pointing up for Jeffery, who continued his offseason work with Marshall.
9. RT Jordan Mills
Any criticism of Mills' rookie season requires perspective. He went from a late Senior Bowl invite to an unheralded fifth-round pick to a 16-game starter for the second-highest scoring team in the league.
If Mills cuts down on the hurries he allowed and keeps his foot healthy after breaking a bone in it, the Bears' well-coached offensive line (which allowed the fourth-fewest sacks in the league) will be even better.
10. DT Jeremiah Ratliff
Ratliff last played a full season in 2011, but if he's anything close to the Pro Bowl tackle he was for the Cowboys, the Bears' defensive line will gain traction.
The 10-year veteran will tutor the Bears' rookie tackles, but he also is determined to show that he can be the penetrating, block-eating tackle he was years ago. A productive Ratliff will ease concerns about the linebackers and safeties.

OPHELIA, TEXAS. Ophelia was a small rural community seven miles northeast of Lockhart in northern Caldwell County. A post office operated from 1880 until 1891, when mail was sent to Lockhart. By 1884 the community had two churches, a school, two steam gristmills and cotton gins, and thirty-five residents. Ophelia was not marked on county highway maps in the 1940s, and no population estimates were available.

My husband has been taking this for about 11 years now, and no longer has high blood pressure. My sister in law, who is a Naturopath, N.D., specifically recommended Gaia Hawthorne Supreme for his high blood pressure. He had been taking it for a few months when he went in for his yearly check up, The nurse took his blood pressure and he told her that something was wrong to take it again. After three times he realized that it was lower and I know we have the hawthorne to thank for that. We highly recommend it!! iHerb is great too!!!

This is great supplement for my high blood pressure. Whenever, I feel it rising in the day I take 4 and immediately all tension subsides. I have an additional negative observation however... this supplement makes me and my mother retain water in the ankles and feet. Everybody is different but I just wanted users to watch out for possible water retention during use.

Is Gaddafi fit to rule?
Libyan regime leader Muammar Gaddafi's appearance and behaviour are the source of fascination for many commentators around the world. While he began his career as a youthful, handsome politician many wonder how he has become an aged and eccentric character. Rumours circulate about drugs, diseases and mental health problems.

Nemanja Vidic's impending exit means he's keen to savour his last United-Liverpool clash but how does this fixture compare to other great derbies he's played in?
I've played in derbies in Manchester, Moscow and Belgrade and it's often a similar experience in terms of the atmosphere. But the Red Star vs Partizan derby in Belgrade is the one I grew up watching, then I played in it, which was one of the best feelings I've had in my career.
I scored in the first Belgrade derby I played in and that was my dream. I said once that my dream was to score in that derby and run into the crowd and not come back! I said that as a kid. So, my dream came true - apart from the last part about running into the crowd to celebrate with the fans. I stayed on the pitch!
It's different when you've been a fan of a club from a very young age and then play in the match. That's a great feeling. There is the derby with Manchester City but United against Liverpool is a big match too. It's not just rivalry between two big clubs, it's between two cities. You feel that on the pitch - the tradition of the two clubs.
United against Liverpool is not just an English derby, it's worldwide. Winning is a great feeling and losing is the worst feeling. But it's being watched all over the world and you want to be involved - to be part of the show and part of the history.

ABC News' Elisa Cervone reports:
The TLC reality show "Extreme Couponing," is shaking up grocery stores nationwide and proving to viewers that these "extreme couponers" can get more for their money. These shoppers spend countless hours rummaging, printing and clipping coupons to make putting meals on the table as economical as possible.
From newspapers to store circulars, extreme couponers rely heavily on any publications that they can get their hands on. Some grocery stores, however, have taken notice of this coupon epidemic and are enforcing store policies limiting coupon use.
Shows like "Extreme Couponing" sometimes glamorize couponing, making the process seem effortless. But extreme couponers spend endless hours reading the fine print of each coupon and shopping at their local supermarkets that are offering the best deals. If your calculations add up correctly, you may be walking out with carts full of merchandise with a few bucks to spare…but will you annoy fellow customers in the process?
Douglas Roberts, a "How Would You Do It?" contest winner from Johnston, R.I., submitted an extreme couponer idea to "What Would You Do?" He wanted to test how bystanders would react, creating a scenario that asked, "Is this too extreme?" Both the cashier and the extreme couponer were actors hired by WWYD.
We set up our hidden cameras at Associated Supermarkets in East Harlem, N.Y., and had our "extreme couponer," Lorraine begin her couponing extravaganza! It didn't take long for bystander Nathan Palmer to express his opinion.
When our "extreme couponer" forgets one of her food items, she makes a quick dash to the produce aisle. After Lorraine takes off, Nathan's patience is strained.
"She's getting other stuff? Come on, lady!" Nathan exclaims.
Just as Lorraine gets back on line to finish her transaction, Nathan confronts her: "Miss we have to go to other places, we have things to do."
What would you do? See dramatic reactions on "What Would You Do? Friday at 9 p.m. ET

Inside the Reporter's Notebook: FedRAMP compliance results months away, OMB's word of the year: Effectiveness
In this edition of Inside the Reporter's Notebook, Executive Editor Jason Miller shares news and buzz about the IT and acquisition communities.
VA chief: 18 vets left off waiting list have died
Acting VA chief reveals 18 more Phoenix-area veterans died after being left off waiting list
Republicans offer alternative VA health care bill
Legislative fixes for VA hospital, clinic patient waits piling up in Congress
Erik Wasson, Staff Writer, The Hill Newspaper
Congress may seem consumed by hot-button issues like the Veterans Affairs scandal, but it is moving forward on the nitty-gritty. The House has passed a few fiscal 2015 budget bills. It's moving forward on others. In the Senate, Senate Appropriations Chair Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) pledges: no more government on auto-pilot. Her committee will approve spending bills too. For an update on all the appropriations, Erik Wasson, a staff writer at The Hill, spoke with Tom and Emily on the Federal Drive.
Vacancy at patent office 'untenable,' senator says
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), the ranking member of the Finance Committee, is calling on President Barack Obama to nominate a permanent director for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The top spot at the patent agency has remained vacant since former director David Kappos departed the agency in February 2013. In a letter to President Barack Obama and Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker, Hatch said the vacancy "hampers the agency's ability to influence policy and make long-term plans."
Senate to take up new VA bill after scandal
Vermont lawmaker to introduce remade bill to address troubled veterans' health system
With budget deadline still months away, should agencies start prepping for CR?
The Sept. 30 deadline for Congress to deliver a complete fiscal 2015 budget plan is still about four months away. But with a lengthy summer recess spanning nearly the entire month of August, that leaves fewer than 40 working days for the appropriation committees on Capitol Hill to finalize agency spending levels. That has some budget watchers already raising the possibility of a stopgap continuing resolution to fund government operations.

Congress has until Sept. 30 to deliver a complete fiscal 2015 budget plan setting agency funding levels. Track the progress of your agency's 2013 appropriations bill.
VA hacks away at claims backlog, increases accuracy
Allison Hickey, VA's undersecretary for benefits, said VBMS has transformed the agency from a paper system to one that mostly relies on electronic data. Some lawmakers express concern about the way the agency is measuring how it reduces the number of veterans waiting for benefits.
Burwell gets committee approval for health post
Senate Finance Committee approves Burwell for health secretary, sends to full Senate
Senators propose 3.3 percent federal pay hike to start in 2015
Sens. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) and Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) introduced the Federal Adjustment of Income Rates (FAIR) Act Friday, calling for a 3.3 percent pay increase for federal employees for calendar year 2015. Federal employee union leaders praised the proposal, which would raise feds' pay more than the 1 percent President Barack Obama introduced in his 2015 budget proposal. The bill is similar to one introduced in March by House Democrats.
Both houses of Congress deal blows to DoD's cost-cutting proposals
The House passed its version of the annual defense authorization bill Thursday, while the Senate's is still a work in progress. Both versions mostly shun DoD's proposals to cut costs during sequestration.
How to make the federal workforce feel respected once again
People work better and more efficiently when they feel respected. And lately, Congress hasn't done a lot to make federal workers feel valued, says Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) in a column written for Federal News Radio's special report, Trust Redefined: Reconnecting Government and Its Employees. But, Tester says, he has a plan to start changing that low morale.

Military chiefs, lawmakers debate budget cuts
Congress is debating the proposed $496 billion defense budget this week, and military pay is one of many sensitive issues within that bill.
Senator wants next OMB director to be familiar with federal workforce
Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.), the chairman of a key congressional panel with oversight of the federal workforce says he wants President Barack Obama's pick for White House budget director to "possess a background in federal workforce and governmental oversight issues." Earlier this month, Obama nominated the current director of the Office of Management and Budget, Sylvia Burwell, to take over for Kathleen Sebelius as the head of the Health and Human Services Department.
Former DHS IG placed on administrative leave following release of Senate report
In a report issued Thursday, the Senate Subcommittee on Financial and Contracting Oversight, says Edwards altered or delayed reports to accommodate senior DHS officials, sought outside legal advice in violation of the laws governing agency IGs and failed to recuse himself form some audits despite concerns over conflicts of interest involving his wife, who was also employed by the agency.
Beryl Davis, Government Accountability Office
Forty-one agencies don't have designated inspectors general of their own, according to Senate Financial and Contracting Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.). She's sponsoring a bill that focuses on these small agencies that don't have the budget or resources for their own IG. Beryl Davis, director of financial management and assurance issues at the Government Accountability Office, testified recently before the subcommittee. She tells In Depth with Francis Rose about a recent GAO report on oversight at smal federal agencies.

text: Quoting Montega <montega at gmail.com>: > What is wonder under used for? > > Tega > The non seamstress.... It's also known as 'fusible web.' It helps bind two pieces of fabric together, as a stabilizer, for doing applique work. It's generally ironed on to the back of the fabric *before* you cut the pattern piece out. Then, you cut out the design, and remove the paper backing on the wonder under. Lay your piece with the wunder-under side DOWN, fabric side UP, on the RIGHT side of your main fabric (ie, tabbard) and iron it using the technique that Talana mentioned earlier - where the iron is lifted and set down, then lifted, moved, and set down. No sliding the iron over the surface of the applique and fabric. (There's also directions on the wonder-under) This way, when you do the satin stitching to 'seal' the edges of the applique, the two pieces of fabric already have a bond together, and the thing stays put. It also stays flatter, and doesn't 'bubble' up. I hope that helps! -Zubeydah

K-State entomology graduate student honored
A Kansas State University graduate student in entomology is the winner of the 2011 Larry Larson Graduate Student Award for Leadership in Applied Entomology, presented by the Entomological Foundation.
Alysha Soper has focused her graduate research on damage potentials of sorghum headworm and has worked on developing site-specific management recommendations for headworm in sorghum.
Her work supports producer efforts to increase sorghum yields and reduce unneeded insecticides by allowing them to make timely and spatially explicit treatment decisions.
Soper is active in the Popenoe Entomology Club at K-State and involved in the entomology department's outreach programs. She will begin working on her doctorate in the spring.
The award recognizes a graduate student each year who exhibits exceptional interest in entomology, shown by his or her research and leadership skills. It is intended to encourage leadership in applied entomology, especially as it relates to technology.
The Entomological Foundation will present the award to Soper on Nov. 15 at the Entomological Society of America's annual meeting.
The Entomological Foundation is a national organization comprised of representatives from the public and private sectors, including academic institutions, government, business and industry. More information is available at its website www.entfdn.org/index.php.

November 23, 2014
Family and friends gathered Friday night to remember one of Omaha's latest murder victims.
Those who knew Darryel Fields are still reeling from the loss. Police believe his girlfriend of about 16 years killed him during an argument.
Friday was about remembering Fields and celebrating his life.
His cousin, Nicole Myles, said, "We try to keep it a legacy of love. In spite of things that happen and things that may come and go, we're still there for each other no matter what."
Fields leaves behind seven children.

Organic cow milk bottled on or near the farm??
and highest grades for freshness and richness and flavor
In Canada we have to be protected from such revolutionary ideas. It's illegal in Ontario for cow milk.
Milk must be pasteurized and bottled in a sterile processing plant. A small farmer doesn't have the capital to set that up.
Your best bet is probably the Organic Meadow brand, which is available in most grocery stores.
Hewitt's Dairy has non homogenized milk by special order. The milk comes from Hagersville area farms. They also produce Harmony organic milk and Hewitt's organic goats milk. Links: http://www.hewittsdairy.com/about-us/...
re: jayt90
From the Hewitts Dairy Site:
"Hewitt's Dairy Limited has not had its own dairy herd since 1950. The supply of cow milk in Ontario is currently managed and marketed through Dairy Farmers of Ontario (DFO), formerly known as the Ontario Milk Marketing Board (OMMB). For specific information regarding milk production, please email Dairy Farmers of Ontario with your question at email@example.com."
ALL cow milk in Ontario has to be sold to OMMB (or whatever they call it now). I have a good friend who wanted to use Guernsey Cows ONLY for milk production (tend to have higher butterfat content) and sell it separately. But was told he could ONLY sell it to the OMMB at the same price as all other milk i.e. no premium price for a premium product - even if sold separately to OMMB. So what we get is high production, not high quality.
re: estufarian
Maybe I am wrong, but surely Hagersville or Norfolk milk goes to Hewitt's, rather than tankers from
Lennox or Lambton. There must be some reasonable economy in OMMB, and possibly the dairy can even select farm suppliers. But who knows how the OMMB works.
Their days may be limited if the Feds go after more cartels.
re: jayt90
I guess it depends on the catchment area for the pasteurization 'plant'. And that I don't know.
re: estufarian
"So what we get is high production, not high quality."
That's nonsense. You get high quality through standardization. You won't get "craft" dairies selling low volume with sketchy processing.
re: Kagemusha
The paragraph where I make that statement is particularly referring to butterfat content.
To my palate (and I'm sure many other readers) a higher butterfat in milk and also butter gives a richer feel and taste, which is usually associated with premium products in this product area. Indeed higher butterfat content DOES bring premium prices, so I still maintain that such products are 'higher quality'.
There are possibly other definitions of quality - in which case you could be right (e.g. automobile production lines).
However, in this instance, in this Province, I'm still waiting to see increasing 'quality' as measured by butterfat, because of standardization.
re: estufarian
Good luck. The production/marketing/processing system in place produces a standardized, high quality product. You want a specialty product but "pay more-get more" isn't axiomatic as you've probably learned--hopefully.
re: Kagemusha
If estufarian is right, there is no incentive to raise Jerseys or Guernseys. The herds seem to be mostly Holstein, and the maximum butterfat a dairy is allowed to produce from this thinner milk is just 35%, for whipping cream.
I wonder how many other countries do this.
I'm headed toward Lambton and Middlesex counties today, and I can ask a few questions about this.
re: jayt90
Find someone willing and able to sell small quantities out the barn door. Did that with dairies around Frontenac county when I lived in Kingston in the early 90s but it was by no means common practice then.
re: vil
You can regularly find the non-homogenized milk from Hewitt's in a few places in Toronto.
There are two other small production dairies that claim to use local herds (but they still have to work through the supply management system). Steen's near Guelph and Reid's in Belleville. Reid's specifically claims that their milk is fresher than the product from "the majors". Reid's produces 2% of the province's milk.
The only assuredly legal way around the supply management system is to dedicate the entire output of your milk to cheese production, which is why we have a Guernsey herd in Niagara that Upper Canada uses for making Niagara Gold.
re: bytepusher
...and Guernsey Girl, UC's answer to halumi.
re: acd123
I love Guernsey Girl! I ate more of that cheese than I'd like to admit when I was pregnant :)
