Recently we celebrated Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday. Quite properly we hailed him as a latter-day prophet to America, a drum-major for justice, a visionary whose dream still inspires us. But I am old enough to remember our attitude toward Dr. King while he was alive. He was roundly condemned by most of us whites as a trouble-maker.
Isn't it often true that today's trouble-makers are tomorrow's heroes? Jesus said so. He criticized the most religious folks of his day, saying, "You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. And you say, 'If we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets'" (Matthew 23:29-30).
I have a little secret to tell you about Jesus: He was a trouble-maker. How did He make trouble? By upsetting the status-quo. Jesus did that consistently, boldly, and gloriously. And if we dare to call ourselves Christian, we must be willing to make trouble too, in the right way, at the right time. If we do that, not everybody will like us. In fact, Jesus said, "Blessed are you when men hate you, when they exclude you and insult you . . . Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven" (Luke 6:22-23).
In order to see Jesus the trouble-maker in action, turn with me to John 2:13. Let me set the scene for you. Jerusalem was in the middle of its biggest annual holiday — Passover. Passover was the week-long celebration of the liberation of the Jewish people from Egyptian slavery some 1800 years earlier. Every Jewish adult male living within twenty miles of the city was required to come to Passover. Jews all over the world wanted to be there, and thousands of them came. Just imagine over two million people jammed into a city no larger than downtown Memphis, about ½ mile wide and three miles long.
In the center of the city was an awesome temple which covered a space about the size of the FedEx Forum and adjacent parking areas. During the week of Passover, every Jewish male must offer an animal or bird sacrifice. Most of the Jews, especially those living some distance from Jerusalem, cannot very well bring their cow or sheep with them. So, they prefer to buy an animal or bird in Jerusalem. But guess what! The Jewish authorities who control the temple have sold exclusive franchises for selling these creatures. And the markup is at least 60 percent.
In addition, the Jewish authorities had another money-making scheme. Every Jewish male was required to pay a temple tax. Surely you did not think that taxes were a modern idea. The tax on each Jewish male was equivalent to two days' wages. Let's just call it $200. That's a pretty stiff tax. And, the Temple authorities required that it be paid in local currency, no foreign money. That made it necessary to have money-changers present. The Temple authorities sold exclusive franchises for this, too. The money changers charged about $100 to change foreign money into local currency. No telling what the kickback was to the Temple authorities. We do know that 28 years later, when the Romans conquered Jerusalem and raided the temple treasury, they found the equivalent of $10 million there.1 The temple rackets were almost as profitable as Saddam's "oil for food" scandal.

Water & Sewer
Q. Why is the utility responsible for thawing the customer�s portion of the service lateral when insurance providers will no longer insure electrical thaws on conductive services?
Our primary intent is to place the responsibility with the water utility. Accordingly, the Wisconsin Administrative Code requires the water utility assist water customers with frozen service laterals to achieve reasonable solutions. We appreciate your concern where insurance providers are no longer willing to accept the risks associated with the practice of electrically thawing conductive laterals. Nonetheless, this does not change our perspective on the role and obligation of the utility.
We are aware of several instances where utilities have not been able to thaw the lateral electrically or using hot water. In these situations providing another source of water until the lateral thaws is an acceptable alternative, such as back feeding the home via a neighbor's house or a fire hydrant.
There may be situations where the lateral cannot be thawed without excavation and steam injections. It is not the intention of PSC staff to require the utility to excavate the lateral in this situation. It is conceivable that it may not be practical to make water available in some situations where large areas or even mains experience cold weather operational problems. These scenarios default to a community emergency instead of a nuisance and inconvenience. We have not seen or heard of this happening but it could. If it did it may well result in some dwelling spaces going without water for a lengthy period of time. Homes may not even be inhabitable during such period. Our Codes have not been written to address such a wide-scale event and emergency management "rules of engagement" would dictate how that very different type of situation would be handled.
In summary, we think the best practice is preventive action. This includes monitoring frost depth and communication with problematic areas. It should include asking customers to allow the water to run where known laterals and mains are prone to freeze. Under first thaw situations, we believe the utility should work with the customer to get the pipes thawed…or failing that, provide them with alternative sources of water. It is not possible to address the myriad of individual circumstances that can arise under this topic so if you have any specific questions, please call the Public Service Commission and we would be happy to discuss them with you.

"I found Tiny Prints through googling "affordable graduation announcements". I was worried about how the picture would turn out on the announcement because even though it was taken on a professional camera the website still said that it was not a good enough quality. I took the chance anyway and opted for the professional review before the order was processed. The order arrived 4 days before expected and maybe even more than that I just happened to see it on my porch one morning. The order turned out wonderful! The quality of the picture was exactly what I wanted. Im glad I chose Tiny Prints to make my graduation announcements. I even recommend them to my mother for out annual christmas cards."
"Everyone loved my announcements! I wanted something creative and unique to me without spending a fortune. It was so easy to use the template and they turned out better than I expected. I will definitely use tiny prints again!"
"The classic and simple design allowed the photo to be the focus of the card. The orange border lines were a nod to her high school colors - looked great! We added text to include where our daughter was attending college as well. Got lots of positive feedback from those who received it!"
"I loved the grad cards you made for my daughter. They arrived early, colors were vibrant and the paper a great quality. I would highly recommend Tiny Prints. The process is simple and templates classy."
"I ordered graduation announcements for my sons open house. Tiny Prints had so many more unique designs to choose from. My son has a unique sense of style and Tiny prints had the perfect card to match his personality. The announcement was delivered prior to the delivery confirmation date. The quality was superb. I can't say enough about how happy I was with the order. Thank you Tiny Prints!"

An affirming gay Christian (GLBT) site dedicated to ...
"Building (ALL) the Body of Christ in Love!"
Lewis B. Smedes
(see articles written by this author)
Amazon reader review: My father used the parable at the beginning of this book as a sermon illustration while I was home over Christmas break. Three weeks later, I was struggling with some personal issues and remembered this book. I read it, and my entire outlook on life changed. I realized that what the angel says is right. "You cannot change the past, you can only heal the hurt that comes to you from the past. And you can only heal it with the vision of the magic eyes." In reading this book, I learned what it means to look at someone with eyes of love. It means that you see them as who they are, with no exclusions. They are people who hurt you, but they may also be people who have been hurt themselves, or who are weak in some area. You learn to see this and forgive them the hurt they dealt you. This is what love is.
Amazon reader review: If you have addictions of any kind, you should read this book. At the core of what keeps us addicted is often shame and the rejection of the power of grace. We may be shamed by ourselves, our family, our church or our society. We miss the magnitude and scope of God's grace. Satan thrives on that and convinces us how despicable we are, driving us further into our addictions (how can a miserable person like me deserve to be close to God). A vicious cycle, which was close to being broken, continues anew. This book helps us understand that, which gets us on the path to recovery.
When a heinous act is committed, sometimes one wonders if forgiveness is even possible. Lewis B. Smedes would certainly advise it. "When we forgive," he says, "we set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner we set free is us." In an easy-to-read yet astute analysis of the meaning and value of forgiveness, Smedes teaches the reader that more than anything, forgiveness is a way of healing. He takes as his model the Judeo-Christian God and outlines the many subtleties involved in forgiveness, such as distinguishing anger from hate, and noting that we only forgive those we blame (including ourselves). Forgetting may be more difficult, but at least The Art of Forgiving can help us along the path toward release and healing.

ZA HD TAC - When it counts most
Designed and engineered in Germany, and in close cooperation with experts in the fields of military and law enforcement, the ZA 5 HD TAC line offers new and improved options for all serious shooters.
The fully illuminated tactical reticle system greatly contributes to higher accuracy in low-light situations - with varying intensity settings and an off step between each setting.
|Compared to previous ZA models, the vignetting has been reduced by up to 90% to create an exceptionally bright and sharp image all the way to the outer edges of the field of view. With the increased size of the exit pupil, the eye remains completely relaxed and can observe images without any further distractions - the eye is no longer preoccupied by attempts to adjust to the field of view before even getting on target - the quick target acquisition system gets the shooter quickly and precisely on target.

Love them! They are light and have nice soft material against your face so they are really comfy to wear. Its really quick and easy to change the lenses so you can easily change them as the light changes during the day. The lenses are really good, provide excellent definition, are pretty durable and I've never had fogging issues.
I kinda wish I had gone with the IO instead of the IOS as they don't fit my helmet as well as the IO (I currently have a Smith Holt size M).

Does this come with an extra green sol-x mirror lens or an extra red sol-x mirror lens? The description says it comes with an extra red-sol-x, but on Smith's website and other 3rd party sites like Amazon and others, Smith only sells the Smith IOS photochromic google with an extra green sol-x mirror lens? I have never seen the photochromic IOS google with a spare red sol-x lens. I would prefer the green sol-x lens as the spare lens.

Deputies investigate mini storage burglaries
Authorities are seeking the public's help finding the people who they said broke into several mini storage facilities in St. Tammany Parish.
St. Tammany sheriff's deputies said more than 60 units within two separate facilities were broken into in the past several months.
Detectives said 27 units were broken into at a facility on Brownswitch Road in Slidell on April 25, and then on June 25, 36 more units were burglarized at another storage facility on Highway 59 in Abita Springs.
Among the stolen items were guns, tools and other household items, deputies said.
Deputies said a late-model maroon Ford F-350 pickup truck and a 2003 white Econoline 150 van were also stolen from a nearby industrial park on the night of the Abita Springs burglaries.
The investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information on the incidents is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 504-822-1111.

A change in vendors could mean that New York drivers will be issued black and white licenses instead of the color ID cards we've become used to. YNN's Lori Chung has more on why some critics are questioning the logic of the change, particularly when it will cost the state millions more than it's paying right now.
NEW YORK STATE -- "Makes absolutely no sense to us at all," said Rensselaer County Clerk Frank Merola.
County clerks struggle to understand why the DMV choose a vendor that plans to print driver's licenses in black and white instead of color and at a cost higher to tax payers.
Merola said, "It seems like it's going to be less secure and in addition to that, it would make sense if you were telling me you were going to save $38 million dollars. We're going to be spending an additional $38 million."
"Every dime we spend as taxpayers is money that we don't have that we need to start being more frugal with and spend wisely," Saratoga County Clerk Kathy Marchione said.
The DMV's contract with its current license producer expires next May. But though the company's bid to retain the state's business was lower, the DMV approved a plan by Canadian based CBN. The vendor, along with another company that submitted a cheaper bid, have filed suit.
"I think people are confused by the expense of it," said New York State DMV Commissioner Barbara Fiala. "You can go online and see the process, but we'll be releasing a statement at the appropriate time."
We caught up with DMV Commissioner Barbara Fiala Wednesday afternoon. While she declined to comment on pending litigation then, she did send us a statement reading, "The two losing bidders were not selected because their products were inferior with respect to document security and anti-tampering measures that are standard for licenses. We are confident that the vendor we have chosen will provide the best value for the citizens of New York."
The state comptroller's office is now reviewing those bids and what the agency decides will determine if the deal with CBN is a go or if the DMV has to try again.

Liz & Dick was a peculiar, drab, damp little TV-movie indeed, wasn't it? The opening seconds flashed a "based on a true story" message across the screen. But the "story" – that is, the life that Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton shared, chronicled here primarily during the 1960s, after meeting during the making of Cleopatra (1963) – was so much richer in reality than it was in this dinky, tin-eared production. Instead, the primary interest in watching Liz & Dick was to behold Lindsay Lohan trying, with varying, wobbly degrees of effort, to make her own career comeback.
In other words, when it came to Lohan "doing" Liz: She done her wrong. READ FULL STORY

Dan's 17th Birthday Update/Reminder
Posted by jenna on 18/06/06
We have had a great response to our project(s) for Dan's 17th birthday so far. This is just a friendly reminder about the Bumper to Bumper project: June 19th is the deadline.
What do you do? Simple – create a bumper sticker slogan with or without an artistic design (Please, nothing Harry Potter related… we are all full up with HP slogans, etc.). Bumper stickers are those fun stickers you see attached to the bumpers of people's cars.
All submissions will be entered into a contest. The top ten will be selected by the staff and then the readers on DanRadcliffe.com will vote a final winner. The bumper sticker chosen will then be "put into production" and sent to Dan, as well as the fan that designed it. The winner of the contest will also get a little trophy along with their sticker creation. Please send your entries to Jenna by no later than midnight EST 19 June.

Queen's Birthday Sketch Details at HP.com
Posted by allo on 15/06/06
The official Harry Potter website has released a few more details about Harry Potter sketch that will form part of the Queen's 80th Birthday celebrations on June 25th (see earlier report). The site reports:
"To celebrate her 80th birthday, the Queen is hosting a party at Buckingham Palace themed around "Great British Children's Literature." The Queen herself is participating, loads of children and their grandparents are invited, and nearly every British author is involved.
As part of the event, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and Matthew Lewis will appear in character as Harry, Ron, Hermione and Neville in a filmed segment on the Gryffindor common room set recommending a spell for the Palace to use in order to apprehend a thief. It is this spell that ultimately leads to them catching the crook."
The sketch will be broadcast on BBC1 and CBBC Channel in the UK on June 25th at 6:00pm. Thanks to Tracey for the tip!

Christian Byers Talks About Dan
Posted by jenna on 13/06/06
The Sydney Morning Herald posted an interview with December Boys' co-star, Christian Byers, today. In the article he had a little something to say about Daniel:
"Late last year he finished filming December Boys, starring Radcliffe. "He was cool. He's just like anyone else," Byers said. "He's really, really friendly. He loves music and got me into a lot of bands, like the Kaiser Chiefs, the Killers and Franz Ferdinand. He got me a few albums, which was really nice of him.""
The Queen… again.
Posted by jenna on 12/06/06
Previously, we reported that Dan will NOT be in attendance at the Queen's party due to a long planned, post-exam holiday; however, the rumour has yet again resurfaced on the BBC.
The latest news regarding the Queen's party, reported by other sources, is again somewhat misleading. Although Dan did participate in a pre-recorded skit for the party, he will NOT be in attendance during the actual event. We will have video from the show that is broadcast.
UPDATE 6/13/06: The BBC has now updated its story to clarify the involvement of the Potter stars. The live show from Buckingham Palace will air on BBC1 and CBBC channel in the UK on Sunday 25th June at 6pm and will last 75 minutes. More information is available at:

[Commentary] Just because a telecommunication system carries digital data it is not an information service. Just because a packet-switched network uses computers to switch and route data signals it is not an information service. Telecommunication networks are telecommunication services whether they carry voice, video, or data signals, and should be regulated and treated as common carriers. The information accessed over telecommunication networks are information, computing, or entertainment services and should not be regulated. The issues, just like decades ago, are unnecessarily made to appear complicated. Lawyers and lobbyists make a fortune, and politicians scratch their heads in delay and confusion. But being neither a lawyer, lobbyist, nor politician, the issues are as clear today in my mind as they were decades ago. If it looks like telecommunication involving transmission and switching, it is telecommunication and should be treated as common carriage.

XB-ART-36296BMC Bioinformatics. January 1, 2007; 8 274.
3''-UTR SIRF: a database for identifying clusters of whort interspersed repeats in 3'' untranslated regions.
Short (~5 nucleotides) interspersed repeats regulate several aspects of post-transcriptional gene expression. Previously we developed an algorithm (REPFIND) that assigns P-values to all repeated motifs in a given nucleic acid sequence and reliably identifies clusters of short CAC-containing motifs required for mRNA localization in Xenopus oocytes. In order to facilitate the identification of genes possessing clusters of repeats that regulate post-transcriptional aspects of gene expression in mammalian genes, we used REPFIND to create a database of all repeated motifs in the 3'' untranslated regions (UTR) of genes from the Mammalian Gene Collection (MGC). The MGC database includes seven vertebrate species: human, cow, rat, mouse and three non-mammalian vertebrate species. A web-based application was developed to search this database of repeated motifs to generate species-specific lists of genes containing specific classes of repeats in their 3''-UTRs. This computational tool is called 3''-UTR SIRF (Short Interspersed Repeat Finder), and it reveals that hundreds of human genes contain an abundance of short CAC-rich and CAG-rich repeats in their 3''-UTRs that are similar to those found in mRNAs localized to the neurites of neurons. We tested four candidate mRNAs for localization in rat hippocampal neurons by in situ hybridization. Our results show that two candidate CAC-rich (Syntaxin 1B and Tubulin beta4) and two candidate CAG-rich (Sec61alpha and Syntaxin 1A) mRNAs are localized to distal neurites, whereas two control mRNAs lacking repeated motifs in their 3''-UTR remain primarily in the cell body. Computational data generated with 3''-UTR SIRF indicate that hundreds of mammalian genes have an abundance of short CA-containing motifs that may direct mRNA localization in neurons. In situ hybridization shows that four candidate mRNAs are localized to distal neurites of cultured hippocampal neurons. These data suggest that short CA-containing motifs may be part of a widely utilized genetic code that regulates mRNA localization in vertebrate cells. The use of 3''-UTR SIRF to search for new classes of motifs that regulate other aspects of gene expression should yield important information in future studies addressing cis-regulatory information located in 3''-UTRs.

|Figure 3. Localization of the Rat and Human Tubβ4 3'-UTRs in Xenopus oocytes. The 3'-UTR of rat or human Tubβ4 (Acc. # 82522352 and BC013683, respectively), and human Stx1B2 (Acc. # BC062298) were synthesized and labelled in vitro with Alexa-Fluor-546-UTP. These fluorescently labelled RNAs were then microinjected into stage II Xenopus oocytes. All three RNAs localize to the vegetal pole, which is oriented downwards in all panels. A fragment of the Xenopus β-globin gene (XβG) was used as a negative control for localization, whereas the mitochondrial cloud RNA localization element from the Xenopus Xcat-2 mRNA (MCLE) was used as a positive control. Note that the extent of Stx1B2 localization is higher than that of either Tubβ4 RNA. Arrows depict the localized RNA towards the vegetal pole and GV indicates the germinal vesicle (nucleus) in these cells which are ~300 μm diameter.

Implanon is a birth control (contraceptive) implant for women. Implanon is a flexible plastic rod about the size of a matchstick that is placed under the skin of the upper arm. It releases a low, steady dose of a progestational hormone to thicken cervical mucus and thin the lining of the uterus (endometrium). Implanon typically suppresses ovulation as well.
A newer version of Implanon also is available. It's called Nexplanon and it's radio opaque. This means it can be seen on X-ray, which is useful for checking the location of the implant. Implanon and Nexplanon are the only contraceptive implants with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval available in the U.S.
Implanon offers effective, long-term contraception. Among various benefits, Implanon:
Implanon isn't appropriate for everyone, however. Your health care provider may discourage use of Implanon if you:
Although the label for Implanon says it shouldn't be used by women with a history of blood clots, it isn't clear whether Implanon affects the risk of blood clots. The warning comes from studies of combination birth control pills that contain the same progestin as is used in Implanon.
Many experts believe progestin-only contraceptives have a significantly lower risk of these types of complications. However, the progestin in Implanon is a metabolite of desogestrel, which when used in oral contraceptives, appears to be associated with an increased risk of blood clots compared with pills with other formulations. Once again, it is not clear if this risk would be significant when the progestin is used alone as in Implanon, as opposed to when it's used with estrogen in an oral contraceptive.
In addition, tell your health care provider if you have a history of:
Implanon doesn't offer protection from sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Less than 1 out of 100 women who use Implanon for one year will get pregnant. If you do conceive while using Implanon, there's a higher chance that the pregnancy will be ectopic — when the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, usually in a fallopian tube.
Side effects associated with Implanon include:
Your health care provider will evaluate your overall health and do a pelvic exam before inserting Implanon. He or she will determine the appropriate timing for the insertion of Implanon based on your menstrual cycle and your previous birth control method. You may need to take a pregnancy test and use a nonhormonal backup method of contraception for one week.
A backup method of contraception may not be necessary if you previously:
Implanon insertion is typically done in a health care provider's office. The actual procedure takes just a couple of minutes, though preparation will take about 15 minutes.
You'll lie on your back with the arm that will receive the implant bent at the elbow and positioned near your head. Your health care provider will locate a groove between the biceps and triceps muscles on the inner side of your upper arm. He or she will inject a local anesthetic and then use an applicator to insert the device just beneath your skin, above your large blood vessels and nerves. Inserting the device too deeply will make removal difficult.
Your health care provider will feel your arm to confirm the presence of Implanon and have you do the same. If necessary, he or she may also use an ultrasound to confirm that the device has been inserted. Your health care provider will cover the insertion site with a small bandage. He or she may also apply a pressure bandage to minimize bruising. You can remove the pressure bandage in 24 hours. Keep the small bandage clean and in place for three to five days.
It's common to experience some degree of bruising, pain, scarring or bleeding at the insertion site.
Contact your health care provider if you have:
Implanon can prevent pregnancy for up to three years. It must be removed and replaced at the three-year point to continue offering pregnancy protection.
Your health care provider may recommend removing Implanon earlier if you:
To remove the device, your health care provider will inject a local anesthetic in your arm beneath the implant. He or she will make a small incision in your skin and will push the implant toward the incision until the tip is visible and can be grasped with forceps. Your health care provider will then pull out the implant, close the incision and apply a pressure bandage. Implanon removal typically takes less than five minutes.
If you choose, a new device can be implanted as soon as the original device is removed. Be prepared to use another type of contraception right away if you don't have a new device inserted.

In the cluttered world of marketing, it's important that your materials be creative--but never at the expense of communicating your key messages. When you create ads, brochures or other forms of communication for your audience, make sure the benefits of who you are and what you do are clear. For example, putting important copy in 6-point type, no matter how fabulous the graphic concept, is one quick way to ensure your key messages won't get read. When developing concepts, always keep your key audiences in mind so your marketing pieces clearly communicate to the people you need to reach.
