LEWISTOWN - It's been almost four years since 33-year-old Jason Specht and 43-year-old Sherry Jo Leonard was found murdered in a mobile home along Route 522 in Granville Township, Mifflin County. The brutal killing was discovered by firemen and police officers at around 4 a.m. on November 25, 2007 after they were summoned to Specht's home for a reported fire. By the time firemen got to Specht's residence, the home was almost fully engulfed in flames. Leonard was pronounced dead at the scene and Specht died shortly thereafter at the emergency room at Lewistown Hospital. One month later their deaths were ruled a homicide, and the fire ruled arson. There have been no arrests made in connection with the murders and police do not have a suspect or person of interest. On Tuesday, friends and family of the victims gathered at the location of a new billboard outside Huntingdon, asking for the public's help. State Police continue to investigate.

DUSHORE - State police in Sullivan County are investigating to determine if the owner of a winery near Dushore is the victim of a hate crime. When owner John Crasne arrived Tuesday morning he found much more than he expected lots of damage which he claims happened because he is Jewish.

WILLIAMSPORT - Lycoming County President Judge Nancy Butts sentenced a 50-year-old city man to more than a decade in state prison Tuesday for having a large collection of child pornography. The Sun Gazette reports, Kenneth Jett, will spend between 12 1/2 and 25 years in a state prison after pleading guilty to 49 counts of possessing child pornography in July. Jett was charged by the District Attorney's office in September while he was incarcerated on charges of allegedly having inappropriate contact with a minor. During the course of that investigation, county detectives seized Jett's computer and discovered more than 300 images and videos of child pornography.
STATE COLLEGE - A former Penn State graduate assistant cited by a grand jury report as claiming he saw an ex-assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky sexually abusing a young boy in a campus locker room shower says in an email he made sure the act was stopped and then went to police - contradicting what the Grand Jury report says. Mike McQueary's comments were made available to The Associated Press on Tuesday. In an email to a friend, McQueary says he made sure the 2002 assault he witnessed was stopped and went to the police about it. McQueary, who has been placed on administrative leave and did not coach in Saturday's 17-14 loss to Nebraska, wrote: "I did stop it, not physically ... but made sure it was stopped when I left that locker room ... I did have discussions with police and with the official at the university in charge of police .... No one can imagine my thoughts or wants to be in my shoes for those 30-45 seconds ... trust me." McQueary added, "Do with this what you want ... but I am getting hammered for handling this the right way."
HARRISBURG - The preliminary hearings for former Athletic Director Tim Curley and former Interim Senior Vice President for Business and Finance Gary Schultz have been rescheduled. The hearings were originally scheduled to take place today but have been rescheduled to 9 a.m. December 6th at the Dauphin County Courthouse. Curley and Schultz were both charged with perjury and failure to report suspected abuse following their potential involvement with the Jerry Sandusky case. According to the grand jury presentment, both Curley and Schultz were aware Sandusky was possibly sexually abusing a young boy in a Penn State locker room and did not notify authorities — violating Pennsylvania's mandated reporting law. Curley and Schultz were released on $75,000 unsecured bail, meaning they only have to pay if they fail to attend their hearing. Both men have maintained their innocence.
STATE COLLEGE - U.S. Senator Bob Casey on Tuesday asked for a hearing into how federal laws apply to the investigation of the child sex-abuse case that has enveloped Penn State University. In a letter sent to Senators Barbara Mikulski and Richard Burr, Casey called for a hearing in a subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. The Associated Press reports, Casey wanted to see how well federal laws protect children and to ensure that provisions for reporting suspected cases are in place. Pennsylvania is not one of the 18 states that require all adults to report suspected child abuse. The request results from the state investigation into Jerry Sandusky. Casey says, "The serious nature of these allegations and the evidence on the public record of failure to report by individuals at Penn State warrants an immediate review of the relationship between federal and state reporting requirements on child abuse and neglect."
STATE COLLEGE — Hundreds gathered in downtown State College in a multi-denominational Christian ceremony aimed at healing the community in the aftermath of the scandal at Penn State. The Centre Daily Times reports, the service, held Tuesday evening at Grace Lutheran Church, brought together nine local congregations for prayer, hymn-singing and reflection on recent events. Members of Calvary Baptist Church, Trinity Lutheran Church, State College's United Church of Christ, St. Paul United Methodist Church, Pine Hall and Gatesburg Lutheran Churches, State College Presbyterian Church and the State College Assembly of God attended the service.
BLOOMSBURG — Up to 40 flooded families will move into new trailers going in at two mobile home parks, in Columbia County. Work has started to set up mobile home pads at the top of Stoney Brook Circle off Route 487 near Lightstreet and at the Country Terrace Park in Main Township. The Federal Emergency Management Agency hopes to have families moving in by Thanksgiving. The Press Enterprise reports, those who will be taking up temporary residence in the units are homeowners whose homes were damaged badly enough that they still expect it will be some time before they can return. The FEMA units will provide them with rent-free places to stay for up to 18 months.
SELINSGROVE - The message to the 27 families who remain at the Pine Meadows housing development in Selinsgrove, Snyder County is clear -- move or be removed. An important meeting for the residents who face eviction will be held at 11 a.m. today in the Pine Meadow Community Room. Tuesday was the original end to a contract by the 100-unit complex's owner, Sencit Pine Meadow Associates LP, and Housing and Urban Development, which provides Section 8 rent assistance to those with vouchers. Officials say Sencit has been able to secure a short-term extension of the Section 8 contract. After the extension expires those still on the property will be removed. Sencit approached adjacent Susquehanna University last year about its intention to sell the complex. The Daily Item reports, the university is planning to purchase the property and turn the apartments into student housing, available in 2013.
WILLIAMSPORT - A $3.5 million grant through the U.S. Department of Transportation has been secured by the River Valley Transit Company in Williamsport for its proposed compressed natural gas fueling station. The announcement of the award came Tuesday through the office of U.S. Senator Bob Casey, who said the money is part of a Clean Fuels program to encourage communities to use funds for green energy purposes. The Sun Gazette reports, the facility, at 1500 East Third Street, is expected to be operational in May. The project is expected to displace an estimated 45,000 gallons of fuel per year and eliminate nearly 504 tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually.
WILLIAMSPORT - The Williamsport/Lycoming Chamber of Commerce got an update on Moxie Energy's plans for two new power plants that will involve up to 500 jobs during the construction phase at its first Morning Member Connection at the Genetti Hotel on Friday. Moxie Energy has initiated development of two 800 megawatt combined cycle power plants to be fueled with locally produced natural gas. The projects will be in Clinton Township, Lycoming County, and Asylum Township, Bradford County. Both will electrically interconnect with the substations adjacent to the sites. The project in Lycoming County could begin construction by mid-2013. The investment for each project will be about $800 million. Construction costs are about $600 million.
WILLIAMSPORT - Students in human services classes at Pennsylvania College of Technology will combine forces to offer holiday-shopping opportunities that benefit others today through Friday in the Bush Campus Center. The students will offer their annual fair-trade sale of handcrafted goods to help working poor in other countries, as well as an opportunity for shoppers to purchase gifts for local nonprofit agencies through a Gifts That Give Hope Fair. Through the Gifts That Give Hope event, conducted by students in a Service Learning in Sociology course, eight local organizations will host information tables, along with lists of gifts that can be "purchased" during the event to benefit the organizations' clients. For example, a $10 donation to the West House provides personal-care supplies for a client. In the same venue, students enrolled in the course Community and Organizational Change will host a Ten Thousand Villages Festival Sale, featuring fair-trade handcrafted goods from around the world. Ten Thousand Villages is one of the world's oldest fair-trade organizations. The nonprofit group works with more than 100 artisan groups in more than 30 countries. Fair trade enables the artisans to earn a fair wage and provides the opportunity for a higher quality of life.

Simon Cowell: 'I love Rebecca Black single'It might be one of the more agitating singles of recent times (so you've told us), but Simon Cowell has admitted that he loves Rebecca Black's debut single, Friday. Much like Justin Bieber, Black has become an internet sensation since she premiered her music video on Youtube last month, but has also been the subject of much criticism. When asked about the single, Simon Cowell told reporters: "Love it! I've never seen anything cause so much controversy. I think it's genius. "The fact that everyone's getting upset about it is hysterical. Any song to do with the weekend annoys you. "It reminds me of 'Saturday Night', do you remember that song by Whigfield? It's what we call a 'hair dryer song' - a song girls sing into their hair dryers as they're getting ready to go out. "But the fact that it's making people so angry is brilliant." by Naina

Earl K Long to Shut Down?
POSTED: Tuesday, March 24, 2009 - 6:33am
UPDATED: Thursday, June 3, 2010 - 10:58pm
LSU is considering a plan to move its teaching school to Our Lady of the Lake.
It's a plan that would shut down Earl K. Long hospital.
First, the state legislature needs to approve the measure, because the university would need 120 million dollars for new construction.
The new additions at OLOL would include development of a trauma center, a medical education building, and 60 additional hospital beds.

How to Improve Your Relationship by Being Positive.
Whether it's a business, sport, financial or a relationship, everyone must have a definite goal and know what they really want.
Without a goal you can forget about success and no relationship will flourish.
How to Improve Your Relationship by Being Positive.
For any person a relationship must be a goal in life because if it's not a goal then the relationship will not flourish.
To succeed in life, personally, professionally, financially, or whatever your goal may be, you must fully believe that you will achieve your goal. If you go in thinking that you are likely to fail, guess what? You will.
It all starts with the frame of mind and visualizing yourself as already having achieved your goal. When you do that, it is impossible to avoid.
The most successful people in the world visualize exactly what they want to achieve and they see themselves going through the motions to get there. That prepares the mind to experience those events and to live them. It could be health, relationship, financial or professional; it all depends on the mindset.
When the subconscious mind believes that the goal has already been reached, the process to get there becomes incredibly easy.
Success starts with truly believing that there are not other options but to succeed. Athletes visualize winning the World Cup, business leaders visualize negotiating the biggest contract of their lives, political figures even prepare themselves by visualize themselves giving historic speeches, and young professionals visualize nailing interviews for the job of their dreams, lovers visualize happy home and kids.
But second guessing yourself and wondering if you can achieve puts you in a position to fail before you even begin. You have to fully not only believe that you will succeed at reaching your goal, but actually visualize what that will be like.
Think about how it will feel, how your life will change, how you will react when you reach your goal, and the rewards it will bring.
In relationships it is as in every aspect of life, if you are not serious and positive the relationship cannot work. It takes two to tango.
Eliminate the language that inhibits your ability to achieve. Words like, "I think" or, "I hope," do not have the conviction that is needed to commit you to success. Instead, replace those terms with, "Next week when I have accomplished X," or, "I know that."
Now is the time to take action and make your dreams come true with some real positive thinking.
You can speed up the process to make the relationship getting back on track again with;

Be specific! Thanks.
My gf says that I have often been negative lately and kinda emotional and stuff, i have improved a lot on that. But often due to my anxiety I have often said things that hurt her, not stuff like calling her a hoe or fat or anything but I kinda threatened to leave her because I had a panic attack and I sorta blurted it out without thinking. I hugely regret saying those things, I want to show her I'm a different person now, I'm making good progress with my anxieties and I'm much more optimistic but I want to help her feel better and show I truly care about her feelings. It brings tears to my eyes when I think of what I said and upset her. Please help
I'm 23 and we been together 2 years if that helps

Article V: Membership
Jan 27th, 2013 by drbc
Section 1: Requirements for Membership
Any person shall be eligible for membership in this church, who professes repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 2:37 42; 5:14; 8:12), who manifests a life transformed by the power of Christ (1 Corinthians 1:1-2; 6:11), who has been scripturally baptized upon profession of faith (Matthew 18:18 20), who expresses substantial agreement with the Confession and Constitution of this church (1 Corinthians 14:40), who intends to give whole hearted support to its ministry (Ephesians 4:30), and who is willing to submit to its government and discipline (1 Corinthians 1: 10; Hebrews 13:17).
Section 2: Types of Membership
Each member of the church is acknowledged to form a vital part of the body and to have a special function in the life of that body (1 Corinthians 12:14). Practical considerations, however, require that certain distinctions be recognized in the membership of this church.
Paragraph A: Regular members
All who are received into the membership of the church according to the procedures set forth in Section 3 of this Article, who continue in the duties set forth in Section 4 of this Article, and who do not come under corrective discipline of the church as set forth in Article VI, shall be considered regular members in good standing and entitled to all the rights and privileges of membership in the church (Acts 2:37 47).
Paragraph B: Temporary Members
Persons who come to live in our area for a limited period of time (such as students, military personnel, persons on special work assignments) may be received into or removed from the membership of the church on the same basis and in the same manner as persons having permanent residence in our geographical area. If such a person is already a member of a church in his place of permanent residence, he need not be released from the membership of his "home church" but will be regarded as a temporary member while in our midst, enjoying all the rights and privileges and subject to all the liabilities and discipline of regular membership. When such a person terminates his period of temporary residence as a member in good standing, he will be released to the fellowship of his "home church" and no longer be regarded as a member of this church (Acts 18:27; Romans 16:1, 2).
Paragraph C: Associate members
Regular members who move away from our area may, at their request, be retained as associate members of this church until they join themselves to another church, or a period of six months elapses, whichever occurs first. In unusual cases associate membership may be retained for longer periods of time by special arrangement with the elders, provided regular communication with the church is maintained. At the discretion of the elders, associate membership may also be granted to invalids, Christian workers, and others whose relationship to the church involves unusual circumstances. An associate member shall enjoy the privileges of pastoral oversight and church fellowship, and be subject to the discipline of the church. An associate member shall not be permitted to vote in any business meeting of the church, nor to hold any elected position in the church.
Section 3: Procedures in the Reception of New Members
Paragraph A: Application for Membership
A person who desires to become a member of the church shall formally express that desire by submitting, to the elders, a completed membership application form, part of which shall include a written testimony of his confession of faith in Christ, and a statement indicating his substantial agreement with both the 1689 Confession of Faith and the Constitution of Dallas Reformed Baptist Church (Acts 9:26).
Paragraph B: Initial Elder Review (Mandatory)
Upon reception of the application for membership, the elders will make a determination as to whether to continue, postpone, terminate, or expedite the process of application. In the case where an applicant is, or has been a member of another church, special effort will be made to determine his present or former standing in that church and identify his reasons for leaving (Acts 15:2). If the elders of an applicant's former church raise an objection which the elders of DRBC deem valid, the application process will be either postponed or terminated (Acts 20:28; 1 John 4: 1). If the elders discover that the applicant enjoys a good standing in his former church, they may expedite the membership application process (Acts 9.27; Romans 16: 1; Colossians 4: 10).
Paragraph C: Congregational Scrutiny
If the elders choose to receive an application for membership, they shall, for two consecutive Lord's Days, inform the congregation of their decision to do so and announce the precise date and time that a public testimony of the applicant's faith in Christ and his agreement with the 1689 Confession of Faith and the Constitution of the Church will be given to the congregation. Following, the giving of the applicant's public testimony (Ephesians 4:29; 1 Corinthians 14:26; Ephesians 4:3; 1 Cor 1:10). The elders will give the congregation no less than one month and no more than six months to, in Christian charity and through biblical wisdom assess the applicant's manner of life and doctrine, and bring any questions, concerns, objections, or words of encouragement about the applicant to the elders, privately (Acts 9:26-27; 2 Corinthians 11:4; Galatians 1:6-9; 1 John 4:1). The elders will carefully investigate any questions, concerns, or objections with regard to the applicant's manner of life or doctrine (Acts 9:26; 1 John 4: 1), and if such prove to be legitimate, they will either terminate or postpone the application process. (Acts 20:28; 1 John 4:10)
Paragraph D: Elder Scrutiny and Membership Reception
If at the end of the time allotted for congregational assessment of the applicant's life and doctrine, no questions, concerns, or objections have been raised which have given the elders sufficient reason to postpone or terminate the application process, they will privately interview the applicant to make a final determination as to whether he has a credible profession of faith in Christ, has been scripturally baptized, is in substantial agreement with the Confession and Constitution of the Church, is capable of assuming the responsibilities and liabilities of church membership, intends to give wholehearted support to its ministry, and is willing to submit to its government and its discipline. If the elders are satisfied that the applicant meets the requirements for membership, they shall, for at least two consecutive Lord's Days, announce the same to the membership as well as the precise date and time that the applicant will be formally received into the membership. If, during the interim period between the elders' announcement and the date the applicant is to be formally received into the membership, there are questions, concerns, or objections raised concerning the applicant's fitness for membership which the elders deem valid, then they may either postpone the applicant's reception into the membership or terminate the application process altogether (Acts 20:28; 1 John 4:1). If, however, no questions, concerns, or objections are raised during this interim period that the elders, deem valid, then membership and all the privileges thereunto will be publicly extended to the applicant (Acts 9:27-28).
Section 4: Conduct Required of Members
Paragraph A: Attendance at Stated Meetings
All regular members and temporary members are required to attend all stated meetings of the church unless providentially hindered (by illness, accident, unusual working conditions, and other such circumstances). The stated meetings of the church are all the Lord's Day (Sunday School, morning and evening worship, and the Lord's Supper), the midweek prayer service, the business meetings of the congregation, and any special meetings which the elders shall occasionally deem it necessary to call (Acts 2:42; Hebrews 10:24-25). The members are strongly urged to engage themselves in due preparation of heart prior to meetings and to make every effort to be punctual in attendance (Isaiah 1:10 17; Matthew 7:12; 15:8; 1 Corinthians 14:40).
Paragraph B: Financial Support
Scripture clearly teaches that Christians should financially support the work of the Lord by systematic, proportionate giving through the local church (Malachi 3:8 10; 1 Corinthians 16:1; 2:11 Corinthians 8 and 9). The members of this church are expected to conform to this rule of Scripture. Members will not be considered as fulfilling their duty in this matter by giving to other causes. This is not meant to forbid such giving, and it is acknowledged that personal acts of benevolence need not be conducted through the church (Hebrews 13:16). However, financial giving to this church should be expressive of one's level of commitment as a member of this assembly, in view of a Christian's responsibility to support the work of the ministry and the work of the gospel (1 Corinthians 9:13,14; Galatians 6:6). The tithe is not imposed upon God's people as a tax, but is strongly urged upon each member as a general guide for basic giving and as an expression of worship. To this should be added gifts and offerings according to one's ability and the willingness of his heart (Exodus 36:2 7; 2 Corinthians 8:1 5,12; 9:7).
Paragraph C: Promotion of Edification and Peace
Inasmuch as the church is represented in Scripture as a body having many members, each of the members having its particular function and yet having concern for the health and protection of the whole (1 Corinthians 12:12 27; Ephesians 4:4, 11 16), the members of this church must strive for the good of the entire body. Members must prayerfully seek to discover their gifts and talents and exercise them appropriately (Romans 12:3 8). We must also seek to cultivate acquaintance with one another and maintain mutual transparency and honesty so that we may be better able to pray for one another; love, comfort, and encourage one another; and help one another materially as necessity may require (Galatians 6:10; Ephesians 4:25; 1 John 3:16 18). In addition, we must discreetly confess our faults to one another (James 5:16), faithfully admonish and encourage one another (Matthew 18:15; 1 Thessalonians 5:14; Hebrews 3:12-13; 10:24-25), and refrain from all backbiting and gossip (Psalm 153; Proverbs 16:28; 26:20 22). In pursuit of the peace and well being of the church, the elders may determine that some matters of congregational business are so sensitive that the members will be expected to keep such matters confidential and not to discuss them with persons outside this assembly (Proverbs 11:13).
Paragraph D: Support of and Submission to Leadership
Members are expected to support and submit to the overseers of the church. Supporting God's servants necessitates praying for them and their labors (Ephesians 6:18-19), cultivating personal acquaintance with them, loving them, and esteeming them highly for their work's sake (1 Thessalonians 5:12-13), standing by them and not forsaking them in their afflictions and in all their good causes (2 Timothy 1:15), and defending rather than prejudicing or damaging their good name (Acts 23:5; 1 Timothy 5:19). Submitting to God's servants necessitates imitating their Christian graces, faith, and godly principles as they also imitate Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1; Hebrews 13:7; 1 Peter 5:3); receiving their teaching with all readiness of mind and teachableness of spirit, yet with ultimate allegiance to the Word of God (Acts 17:11; James 1:19 2 1; 1 Thessalonians 2:13); humbly heeding their Scriptural rebukes and warnings as from those appointed to watch for our souls and committed to present us complete and mature in Christ (Colossians 1:28; Hebrews 13:17); seeking and carefully considering their counsel as from those counted faithful by the Lord (I Corinthians 7:1,25); and cheerfully embracing and abiding by their decisions regarding corporate policy in God's house, which is His church (I Timothy 3:5,15; Hebrews 13:17), without gainsaying, even when personally differing with their judgment (Romans 10:2 1; Jude 8 10).
Paragraph E: A Godly Christian Life
All who come into the membership of this church are expected to walk worthily of the Lord, that His Name be not blasphemed but rather His excellencies be displayed through us, and that the good name of the church be not damaged but rather enhanced. Therefore, every member is expected to cultivate godliness in the following areas:
1. Personal Devotions
Each member is expected to walk personally with the Lord, making use of all the private means of grace available to him, including daily and habitual secret prayer (Psalm 55:17; 88:9; Daniel 6:10; Matthew 6:5 11; Colossians 4:2), daily and habitual reading and meditating on God's Word (Psalm 1:2; 119:11,97), continual maintenance of a good conscience with judgment day honesty (Acts 24:16; 1 Timothy 1: 19; Hebrews 10:22; 13:18), periodic and wholesome self examination, prayerfully conducted by the standard of God's Word (Psalm 13 9:23-24; 11 Corinthians 13:5; 11 Peter 1:10-11; 1 John 5:13), and careful and spiritual observance of the Lord's Day (Genesis 2:1 3; Exodus 20:8 11; Isaiah 58:13,14; Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 16:2; Revelation 1:10).
2. Family Life
The church expects its members to obey the teachings of the Scriptures with respect to family life and government of the home. As the God appointed head of the family, the husband must rule over the household with gentleness and love, but also wisdom and firmness (Ephesians 5:22; 1 Timothy 3:4-5). The wife must also be in subjection to her husband in all things according to the rule of Scripture (Ephesians 5:22 24; 1 Peter 3: 1). The husband with the wife must nurture their children in the chastening and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:2), by setting a godly example before them, by leading them in family worship, by instructing them consistently in the Scriptures (Genesis 18:19; Deuteronomy 6:7), by praying for them (1 Chronicles 29:19), and by wise and firm discipline, including corporal punishment when it is needed (Proverbs 13:24; 22:15; 29:15; Hebrews 12:7).
3. Personal Evangelism
Not all Christians have the same God given ability to communicate the Gospel (1 Corinthians 12:4 7, 11, 14 20, 27 30), nor the same opportunity (Acts 4:33). At the same time, evangelism is not restricted to experts or professionals (Acts 11:19; 11 Corinthians 4:13). All Christians should be deeply concerned for the glory of God, the eternal welfare of lost men, and the prosperity of the church (Psalm 90:16-17; Matthew 10:32-33; Romans 9:1 3; Ephesians 3:20-21). Therefore, members are expected to pray for the extension of the Kingdom of God throughout the entire world (Ephesians 6:18 20; 2 Thessalonians 3:1-2; 1 Timothy 2:1 8), and to seek to recognize and seize every opportunity to bear witness to his faith in Christ both by consistent Christian conduct and by the testimony of the lips (Romans 1: 16-17; Philippians 2:14 16; 1 Peter 3:14 16).
4. Christian Liberty
Each member of the church is required to render in his daily life loyal obedience to all the moral precepts established by the Word of God (Romans 8:3-4). If God has not condemned or forbidden a practice in His Word, a Christian is at liberty to participate in it. The exercise of Christian liberty, however, must at all times be governed by an earnest desire to walk in the fear of God and to glorify Him in all things (1 Corinthians 10:3 1; 1 Peter 1: 17), a loving regard for the consciences of weaker brethren (Romans 15:1 3; 1 Corinthians 8:9), a compassion for the lost (1 Corinthians 9:19 22), and a zealous regard for the health of one's own soul (Romans 13:14; 1 Peter 2:16).
5. Separation from the World
God never intended the glorious blessing of Christian liberty which we enjoy to become an excuse and covering for worldliness (Galatians 5:13; 1 Peter 2:16). To the contrary, we have been liberated from the bondage to our former sins in order that we might be a people distinct from this wicked world and set apart to God (Leviticus 18:1 30; Titus 2:11 14; 1 Peter 1: 14,15). Accordingly, we are commanded to detest rather than love godless society (Proverbs 1: 10 19; Romans 12:1,2; James 1:27). Therefore, members are expected to detest and be separate from the wicked attitudes, practices, and unwholesome influence of the ungodly society around us. This is not to be thought of as a call to absolute separation from all contact with the ungodly, which would require us to leave the world (1 Corinthians 5:9, 10).
Respecting the World's Attitudes
Members are expected to resist the worldly attitude that the things of this life are of primary importance (1 John 2:15 17). Members are not to become so absorbed with work, material possessions, politics, recreation, television, sports, or any other person or things that would rival our primary attachment to Christ (Matthew 6:24). Members are not to adopt the distorted values of the world, such as: considering self worth to be rooted in intelligence, wealth, usefulness to society, beauty, sex appeal, or athletic skill; or considering that our personal peace and happiness should be pursued as our ultimate goal, and are attained by our acquiring possessions. Members are not to adopt the moral relativism of the world, especially respecting the sanctity of life and truth. Members are to resist worldly attitude about masculinity and femininity, reject the carnal notions that male and female roles are arbitrary and reversible, that sexual orientation is a matter of preference rather than morality, and that marriage is oppressive, unless it is egalitarian. Members are to regard the wife's primary role to be that of a helper to her husband (Genesis 2:18f), her basic (but not necessarily exclusive) sphere of labor to be domestic (Proverbs 31:10 3 1; 1 Timothy 5:14; Titus 2:4), and her estate as wife and mother to be noble and honorable, rather than degrading and unfulfilling. Members are to regard a husband's role not only to be that of provider and protector (Ephesians 5:23, 28; 1 Timothy 5:8), but also to be that of giving personal nurture to his wife (Genesis 18:6 8; Ephesians 5:25-26; 1 Peter 3:7).
Respecting the World's Practices
Members are not to indulge in any of the vices which surround us: drunkenness, drug abuse, gluttony, viewing pornographic materials, fornication, homosexuality, and other such sins.
Respecting the World's Influence
Members are to refrain from all entangling relationships with the ungodly, such as intimate, frequent companionship with them (I Corinthians 15:33; James 4:4), pursuing romantic interest in them (Judges 16:4-5; 1 Kings 11:4 9; Proverbs 2:16-17; 6:20, 23 25), and contracting marriages with them (1 Corinthians 7:39; 2 Corinthians 6:14). Similarly, members are expected to carefully seek to discern and resist any wicked influence of this godless society upon our souls and our families, whether it is exerted by means of television, videotapes, movies, music, literature, schools, or by any other means (Romans 12:1-2).
Section 5: Termination of Membership
Paragraph A: Reasons for Termination
1. By Physical Death
When a member of the church is removed from our midst by death, his name shall be removed from the membership roll (Hebrews 12:23).
2. By Transfer
When it is so requested, the elders may grant a departing member in good standing a letter of transfer to the fellowship of another church (Acts 18:27). No such letter may be given to a member who is at that time under the corrective discipline of this church. The elders may refuse to grant a letter of transfer to any church which is in their judgment disloyal to the faith which was once delivered to the saints (Jude 3), or which does not exercise godly care over its members.
3. By Resignation
Membership in Dallas Reformed Baptist Church is entered and initiated jointly by voluntary commitment from the individual applicant and acceptance by the church, expressed in terms of the procedures described in Section 3 of this Article. It follows, then, that members cannot terminate their membership unilaterally under all circumstances. As a general rule, a member may voluntarily resign from membership in Dallas Reformed Baptist Church. However, a resignation offered by a person guilty of sin which calls for corrective discipline is not valid, and the church may proceed with public censure, imposition of strictures, or excommunication, as is appropriate to the circumstances and in accordance with the procedures outlined in Article 6 (Acts 15:24; 1 John 2:18-19; 2 John 7 11).
4. By Exclusion
If a member habitually absents himself from or ceases to attend the stated meetings of the church without showing just cause, or if upon relocation a member ceases to maintain vital contact with the church, such a one may be excluded from membership at the direction of the elders (1 John 2:19). In such cases, the elders shall attempt to contact the person and to rectify and resolve the situation (Ezekiel 34:4). If these efforts are ineffective the elders shall inform that person (when feasible) and the congregation that such a person is no longer a member. If a member not guilty of heresy, scandalous immorality, or divisiveness either renounces his commitment to keep any of the requirements of membership listed in Section I or Section 4 of this Article (Psalm 15:4; 24:4; Matthew 5:37) or ceases to practice them as a pattern of life (Ecclesiastes 5:1 5; Matthew 21:28 30; 23:3) and yet wishes to remain in membership, refusing to resign voluntarily, he may be excluded, but only after repeated admonitions from the elders (11 Timothy 2:24,26). In such cases the elders shall announce to the congregation at a stated meeting of the church their intention to exclude that person. Time will be allowed for objections or questions to be raised privately with the elders by any member. If no objection is raised which the elders considered to be valid, the person will be excluded by action of the elders. The congregation and the person shall be informed of this action.
5. By Excommunication
According to the teachings of Holy Scripture, a congregation must cut off from its fellowship and visible membership any person who teaches or insists on holding false and heretical doctrine, who blatantly and impenitently conducts himself in a manner inconsistent with his Christian profession, or who persists in disturbing unity, peace, or purity of the church (Matthew 18:15; Romans 16:17 20; 1 Corinthians 5: 1, Titus 3: 10-11). The procedures to be followed in such excommunication are set forth in Section 2 of Article VI.
Paragraph B. Implications of Termination
1. And the Universal Church
Dallas Reformed Baptist Church does not exist in isolation from, but is a part of, the universal church of Christ composed of all true believers. Accordingly, open and forthright communication among the churches is vital to the purity, peace, edification, and unity of the church universal. Therefore, the elders may, at their discretion, disclose to other evangelical leaders and churches the circumstances under which a person's membership was terminated (Acts 15:24; 1 Timothy 1:20; 2 Timothy 2:17; 4:10-14).
2. And Society
Dallas Reformed Baptist Church does not exist in isolation from society at large. Accordingly, the church has a moral obligation to society both to act with integrity and to maintain its testimony (2 Corinthians 8:20-21). Therefore, the elders may, at their discretion, disclose to other persons outside the ecclesiastical circles mentioned above the circumstances under which a person's membership was terminated (Leviticus 5:1; Proverbs 29:24; 1 Peter 4:15).
3. And Divisive Conduct
Termination of membership does not give license to former members to sow discord, spread false teachings or reports, or engage in any other behavior which threatens the peace and unity of Dallas Reformed Baptist Church or the church universal. Therefore, when it is established that a former member is behaving divisively, the elders may issue whatever warnings they deem appropriate to maintain and preserve the peace and harmony of this congregation and the church universal (Acts 15:24; Romans 16:17 20; 1 Timothy 1:20; 2 Timothy 2:17; 4:10,14).

- How to Read a Study Record
The prevalence of hepatic cirrhosis in Romania is very high, with a 10-year mortality of 34-66%. Upward trend of mortality is observed. It is known that cirrhosis is associated with cardiac abnormalities. These can induce several complications of cirrhosis, and increase postoperative mortality. Therefore, it is a major public health issue and research in this field should be a priority.
Few studies evaluated the cardiac function in cirrhotic patients, using only conventional echocardiography. However, this allows only the late diagnosis of cardiac dysfunction, which might be already irreversible. Consequently, description of new parameters, which could detect early dysfunction, becomes essential. There is no study designed to estimate intrinsic myocardial properties in cirrhosis. New methods (Tissue Doppler and Speckle-tracking echocardiography) could be essential to detect early cardiac dysfunction. The exact role of biological markers in the diagnosis of cardiac dysfunction remains to be clarified. Impaired cardiac function coupled with augmented vascular function could be the model for cirrhotic patients. This type of ventriculo-arterial interaction has never been described.
The main objectives of our project are:
- to investigate the mechanisms which lead to cardiac dysfunction;
- to describe new parameters for the early diagnosis of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy;
- to describe the type of ventriculo-arterial interaction;
- the association between biological markers and echo parameters.

EMERSON, Iowa A tree crashes into a home, but who is at fault remains in the air.
Tim Fort, a mobile home owner in Emerson, Iowa, claims a tree that fell onto his home is owned by the city. The city's Mayor doesn't see it the same way.
"Everything from the sidewalk on it ours," said Mayor Rob Erickson. "There's not sidewalk here. So that's why I'm saying it's pretty touch-and-go as to whether or not this is really our tree."
Despite the Mayor's words, he told WOWT 6 News Face Finders that he will go to bat for Fort. Erickson said he will talk to the town council and the city's insurance carrier, but until the red tape can be unraveled Fort is left living at his daughter's home 50 miles away.
"I want to be compensated for my trailer," said Fort.
A spokesperson for Red Cross said they're going to contact Fort to assess his needs. The Mills County emergency manager told WOWT 6 News that he'll be looking into the situation too. The replacement of Fort's trailer, however, will be a dispute to be settled between Fort and the city of Emerson.

If you're in the U.S., did you watch this season's last episode of "Who Do You Think You Are?" I haven't watched all the episodes yet, but this one, to me, was the most powerful. I guess that's why the saved it for last.
Film-maker and outspoken black-rights advocate, Spike Lee went on a journey to Atlanta, Georgia to learn about his slave roots on his mother's side.
As he uncovered his family history, he was confronted with some very powerful facts and ideas.
His GGrandfather Mars Jackson was a major land-owner after the emancipation, owning over 80 acres. He did not learn of why or how he lost that land.
His GGGrandfather worked in a Cotton Gin that was converted into a pistol factory. He was making pistols that were used against those who were fighting for his freedom.
That same GGGrandfather was taken by none other than General Sherman's army as they razed that town and pistol factory, and likely never heard from again.
His GGGrandmother was "Mulato" and likely the product of her mother being raped by their slave-owner.
He met his current, likely third cousin (twice removed), in real life and they had an emotional moment together on her sofa where they together faced the truths about the things that their ancestors did and lived through.
Thankfully, as far as I know, all of my ancestors were from New England and fought for the Union. I can only imagine how it must feel for genealogy researchers who have roots in the south to deal with the idea that their ancestors, not very long ago, had slaves and in many cases treated and traded them like objects.
As I watched this episode, I couldn't help but sing this verse of Ben Folds' "Rockin' the Suburbs" in my head.
In a haze these days
I pull up to the stoplight
I can feel that something's not right
I can feel that someone's blasting me
With hate and bass
Sending dirty vibes my way
'Cause my great great great great granddad
Made someone's great great great great grandaddy slaves
It wasn't my idea
It wasn't my idea
It never was my idea
I just drove to the store
For some Preparation H

"When hinges creak in doorless chambers,The Haunted Mansion is a franchise that has grown around the long-running attraction at the various Disney Theme Parks, having spawned two movies (a critically disappointing feature with Eddie Murphy and an upcoming film by Guillermo del Toro), a videogame, a short-lived comic series by Slave Labor Graphics, and an upcoming animated television special headed by illustrator Gris Grimly, in addition to appearances in various Disney media.Having spent a long time in Development Hell, having even been first thought of in the earliest plans of Disneyland, with various stories considered and rejected, Walt eventually decided for a minimalistic approach on story and made the house a simple retirement home/boarding house for the spirits. Of course, this hasn't stopped many from speculating and creating their own interpretations about the nature of the house and its inhabitants, sometimes even being played with by Disney themselves through the mansion's assorted incarnations.Each Magic Kingdom-style Disney park has a version of this ride:
When strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls,
Whenever candlelights flicker though the air is deathly still,
That is the time when ghosts are present,
Practicing their terror with ghoulish delight..."
—Opening lines
The actual rides includes examples of:
"There's a little matter I forgot to mention... Beware of Hitchhiking Ghosts!"
The video game contains examples of:
"Hurry baaaaack...hurry baaaaack...be sure to bring your death certificate, if you decide to join us. Make final arrangements now. We've been...dying to have you..."

22178: Wiping over dressings that have been placed on wounds
There is something like abscesses on my leg, and the treatment is to wrap the site of the abscesses with a dressing so that water does not reach it when I do wudoo'. What is the ruling on wudoo' in this case?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Your wudoo' is valid if you wipe over the dressing or pass water over it.

Despite his learning difficulties, Cruise (in a 1980 yearbook photo from Glen Ridge High School in New Jersey) enjoyed school. "I went out for athletics – baseball, wrestling, soccer, football, hockey, you name it – and really blew off a lot of steam there," he says. The turning point that made him want to be an actor: "My senior year in New Jersey, I got the part of Nathan Detroit in the school's production of Guys and Dolls."
