Q - A "nihil obstat" and an "imprimatur" appear at the front of many Catholic books. What exactly do these mean?
A - Thanks for the question. When a Catholic writer has a book on faith, morals, theology, etc. they submit it to the Bishop in their diocese or the Bishop of the diocese of the publisher of the book. The Bishop, or his appointed representative, then reads through the book and either gives or denies a "nihil obstat" to it.
This approval comes in two official steps:
- "nihil obstat" means nothing "stands in the way" of it being printed - that is, nothing contrary to the faith and morals of the Church is in the book.
- "imprimatur" is the official permission to print the book.
The Code of Canon Law discusses this issue in Canons 822-832.
I hope this helps.

Knights Lose Two at Augustana Tournament
MOLINE, Ill. - The MLC softball team dropped two games at the Augustana tournament on Sunday to UW-River Falls and Wittenberg by the scores of 17-0 and 5-0, respectively.
UW-River Falls 17, MLC 0
The Knights were only able to muster one hit and struck out 12 times in their loss to UW-River Falls.
Rachel Sellnow (Grand Rapids, Mich./MLS) picked up the lone hit for MLC, while Heather Korb (Indianapolis, Ind./Lutheran HS) added a stolen base.
Laura Miller (Kent, Wash./Evergreen) got the start on the mound and took the loss for MLC.
Wittenberg 5, MLC 0
Wittenberg jumped out with a four-run lead in the first inning, and while the Knights kept within striking distance the rest of the way, they weren't able to push any runs across to get all the way back.
MLC finished with six hits on the day, led by Amber Krause (Watertown, Wis./LPS) with two. Amanda Fogle (Oakdale, Minn./SCLHS), Sarah Free (Plover, Wis./LPS), April Cook (Menomonee Falls, Wis./KMLHS) and Jessica Henning (Redwood Falls, Minn./Redwood Valley HS) each had one hit for the Knights.
MLC had a chance to make things interesting in the seventh inning with the bases loaded, but stranded all three runners to end the game.
With the loss, MLC dropped to 5-4 on the season. The Knights will return to action on Tuesday, March 30, when they play their home opener against Wartburg. Game one of the double header will start at 3 p.m.

Webster Posts Profit on Strong Loan Growth (Update 1)
Updated with early market action and comments from Jefferies analyst Casey Haire.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Webster Financial (WBS) on Friday reported that its commercial loans grew 4% during the second quarter.
The bank -- headquartered in Waterbury, Conn. -- reported second-quarter net income available to common shareholders of $40.6, or 44 cents a share, meeting the consensus estimate of a 44 cents, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. In comparison, the company reported net income to common shareholders of $38.3 million, or 42 cents a share, during the first quarter and $33.4 million, or 36 cents a share, during the second quarter of 2011.
The company's shares were up 2.5% in the first few minutes of trading, to $21.97.Webster Financial had $18.4 billion in total assets as of June 30. The company's combined commercial and commercial real estate loans increased 4.2% sequentially and 9.2% year-over-year, to $5.5 billion. Total loans grew 2% during the second quarter and 5% year-over-year, to $11.5 billion, as of June 30. Webster president and chief operating officer Jerry Plush said that second-quarter loan originations "were 69 percent higher than a year ago and totaled over $1 billion in the quarter," and that a strong pipeline at the end of the quarter "should bode well for the balance of the year." Nonperforming assets -- including nonaccrual loans and repossessed real estate -- totaled $$173.6 million as of June 30 or 0.89% of total loans, improving from 0.96% the previous quarter, and 1.40% a year earlier. An $11.5 million release of loan loss reserves during the second quarter directly boosted earnings. Reserves covered 1.72% of total loans and 117.44% of nonperforming loans, as of June 30. Following the trend for most large regional banks, Webster saw its net interest margin -- the difference between a bank's average yield on loans and investments and its average cost for deposits and wholesale borrowings -- decline to 3.32% during the second quarter, from 3.36% the previous quarter, and 3.48% a year earlier. Coveted transaction account deposits grew 3.3% during the second quarter and 14% from a year earlier to $673.5 million as of June 30, "which represent 39.2 percent of total deposits compared to 38.0 percent at March 31 and 35.0 percent a year ago," according to the company, mitigating some of the margin pressure.

PERRYMAN, Md. - The Episcopal Diocese of Maryland says it's suspending worship services at the state's oldest Episcopal parish.
The Baltimore Sun ( http://bit.ly/SIcVkD) reported Friday that services will end at St. George's Episcopal Church near Perryman at the end of the year.
The parish has been in continuous operation since 1671. It is also known as St. George's Spesutia (speh-SOO'-tee-ah) parish, due to its location on Spesutia Road and its historical connection to nearby Spesutia Island.
Bishop Eugene Taylor Sutton cites dwindling attendance and declining income from the collection plate.
Parish member Victoria Davis says 25 to 30 people attend church services.
St. George's is one of 10 Episcopal parishes in Harford County.

light and creamy piña colada
So, we're back.
And I'm trying to pretend we aren't.
It was an amazing week and I will share recaps of all the awesomeness we had over the past week with you soon, but for now, I'm wallowing in denial. But even that can only last so long. Tomorrow I go back to work and that will be one heck of a wakeup call. Especially considering I haven't set an alarm clock in almost 10 days.
Insert moan and groan here.
To attempt to starve off reality for a little bit longer, let me share a recipe for my lightened up version of a smooth and creamy piña colada. I pretty much lived on piña coladas and margaritas while on the island, because, well, there is no such thing as a calorie on vacation. But now that I'm back in the land-locked, calorie-counting world, I figured I'd try my hand at a lightened up, less sugar-y and creamy version of my favorite tropical cocktail.
There are a lot of recipes for "skinny" piña coladas out there, and I love them! But most of them are missing the smooth, creamy factor that makes a piña colada so decadent. I used coconut milk to help add some of that to my version.
Happy Monday to you, and happy last day of vacation to me!
Light and Creamy Piña Colada
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: None
Makes: 2 servings
- 4 ounces coconut rum
- 3 ounces light coconut milk
- 4 ounces coconut water
- 3 ounces pineapple juice
- 2 cups crushed ice
- 2 maraschino cherries
- In the carafe of a blender, combine all ingredients minus the cherries. Blend on high until smooth and frothy. Pour into two glasses and garnish with cherries.

[guest post] three tips to help college students stay healthy
Hi, Back to Her Roots readers! I'm Miranda and I blog over at Biting Life. My motto is: "Enjoy food, fitness, and life in the moment."
I'm so excited to be doing this guest post for Back to Her Roots! Honestly, I started giggling like a schoolgirl when I read Cassie's email asking me to write something up for her while she's on vacation. "Me?! But… your blog is awesome… and I love you. You know who I am?" I was a little bit star-struck!
I've been dedicated to living a healthy lifestyle ever since I started my blog back in September 2010. And I've never felt better. I was able to lose 30 pounds – and I'm on my way to losing even more! For me, the toughest part about being healthy is having to go to college at the same time. There are so many obstacles and temptations facing college students that get in the way of being healthy. Since I'll be graduating next semester, I've had a lot of experience learning how to not pack on the pounds while on a budget and going to school at the same time. But I'm going to warn you… it's hard!
Here are some tips I swear by (this post is geared towards college students, but these tips will work for anybody):
Make eating healthy a priority, but don't overspend.
I go to the University of Rhode Island and live off-campus. For me, living off-campus is the easiest way to stay healthy because I can completely avoid the dining halls. Since making the switch to healthy living, I've learned to cook all my own meals – which I absolutely love. I make sure to limit my grocery spending to $50 per week, in lieu of buying a meal plan – but I know that not everybody has that option.
Lots of universities offer several different types of meal plans. If you live on campus, my advice would be to choose the cheapest food plan option and supplement that as much as possible with food from the grocery store (if you don't have a car, most campuses have bus systems that go to local stores – or get a friend to take you!). It's actually healthier and less expensive to buy and prepare your own food rather than eat from the dining hall.
To keep my grocery costs lows, I take a look at my local Stop&Shop's flyer online before I go to the store. I base almost all of what I buy for meals and snacks off of what is on sale each week. I'm a stickler when it comes to my list, which helps keep me from buying impulse items.
There are plenty of blogs out there (like this one and this one) that offer awesome advice for healthy eating in your dorm. If you can't avoid shelling out the cash for a full meal plan, my advice is to make sure to frequent the salad bar, as well as limiting soda and juice as much as possible.
Make a commitment to fitness.
This is a hard one for me. It took me a really long time (like 19 years) to cultivate an active lifestyle. Now that I've learned to love working out, it's easy for me to keep up with my goal of exercising four times a week. Even though I suffer from a disability called Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome, I still manage to find plenty of fun ways to work out that fit with my body. If I can do it, you can too!
Almost all colleges have a free gym, so get out there and be active! Some colleges even offer free fitness classes. The goal is to find something fun that you love to do (like Zumba or Hot Yoga) and go as much as possible. You could even work out in your dorm room! Visit my Workouts Page to find some of my favorite workouts that can be done with limited or no equipment.
I like to make a plan to exercise a specific number of times per week to hold myself accountable. Schedule workouts around your classes, during a time you know you won't be too swamped with studying (or too tired!) to fit it in. I know it's hard to do, but I find that my body reacts the best to working out early in the morning. If you make time to exercise before your classes, you won't have to think about it for the rest of the day! One problem is that college students tend to have awkward schedules. If you can't go in the morning, consider going to the gym at night during one of your favorite television shows. Almost all gyms have televisions above the treadmills, bikes, and ellipticals. Any workout will go by fast while you're watching Grey's Anatomy!
Don't forget about sleeping!
Not getting enough sleep is a really common problem among college students. And it's probably the most important thing, too! I can attest to the fact that clocking in 9 hours every night (studies show that high school and college students actually work best with nine hours, not eight) doesn't always happen.
This might be a little bit taboo, but my honest advice would be to learn how to nap. Napping has saved my life. Some days it feels really nice to lie down and reset my brain for a little bit. One of my most cherished investments is my eye mask. For about $4 at Walmart, it can feel like nighttime any time I want. But don't nap for too long! At least for me, napping for more than two hours makes me cranky and feel like I have jetlag – not good!
There are lots of things that you can do to work on making your life healthier. I've found that if I concentrate on doing these three things really well, the rest will fall into place.

Even though the good doctor is unaware of such a disease, I too have experienced changes in my heart rythym as a result of
pressure. I'm a 46 year old male in pretty good health overall and I've been living with the same condition you describe for several years now. When I'm really bloated, my heart rate at rest often becomes rapid and shallow and every so often feels as if it's skipping a beat.

All of that stress can do a number on our bodies! Some of it is immediate and we see it right away like a
, upset stomach, sweaty palms, nausea, dizziness, heart palpitations, racing thoughts. All of these are a flight/fight response our bodies take when it feels threatened or fearful.Long term effects can be worse if we don't learn to get our stress and anxiety under control. I think we just need to learn ways to cope with stress better.

Referring to your post regarding A/Fib and bloated
, I too have had the same experience. I believe it is a mechanical effect in that the
inflates the intestine which in turn pushes on the vagus nerve or the bottom of the heart and triggers the A/F episode. The sensation is located under the left rib cage not in the chest. I can also induce A/F by swallowing something very cold on an empty stomach. This freaks out the nerve and the A/F proceeds.

, nausea, back pain upper right side.I thought that I had a severe sore throat. The Dr. prescribed antibiotics(cefuroxime). I felt worse(stomach) and stopped the medication. I had acid reflux problems three years ago and was on medication,so the Dr. thought it might be acid reflux..He prescribed Nexium(once a day) and Ranitidine (twice a day). I have been on this medication for a week. I still have bloating and gas attacks with some back pain.

There is no mention of headaches as a side effect on the Chantix site but it may be that it is a lesser reported one. I never had any problems other then a little
/queasiness but that wasn't until my second month. Maybe you should try a few more days and if it persists, call the Chantix hotline. Good luck and try to hang in there!

If sufficient quantities of acid are present in the

Supplement wise, digestive enzyme supplements help with digestion (can be used for high and low stomach acid) and betaine HCI with pepsin increases stomach acid. Apple cider vinegar is a old home remedy to help with low stomach acid.

I have had a sensitive stomach for over five years. it started sometime around late middle school (7th or 8th Grade). Initially we contributed it to menstrual pains (it seemed likely) but around that time i had also had a nasty case of food poisoning from bad chinese food. the pain at this time was just a strong achey feeling that made me have to lie down after meals. it especially hurt after dinner time (this is also when i have my largest meal of the day).

Sun Care Treatments
Fry Now, Pay Later
By: Noreen Young
Posted: June 24, 2008, from the February 2006 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 6 of 6
Regarding my case, because only a one-layer cut was made during my biopsy, it was necessary to go back in to ensure that all of the cancer had been removed. To complicate matters even further, I was told that it would be best to see a plastic surgeon for the additional surgery I would need after the fact, as it was on the breast. At this point, I was given two options. The first consisted of my dermatologist cutting deeper to scoop out more tissue, sealing the wound and receiving the pathology results within eight days. If more cancer were to be found, I would have to go back and repeat the entire process, which can cause even greater scarring.
Instead, I opted for the second alternative, which consisted of seeking treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and undergoing a procedure called the Mohs surgical technique, named after the physician who created it. This type of surgery combines the removal of the cancer with the immediate microscopic examination of the tissue, along with reconstructive surgery on the wound area. You can learn more about Mohs micrographic surgery by logging on to the Mayo Clinic's Web site at www.mayoclinic.com.
Unfortunately, on the day of my operation I discovered yet another tiny brown spot. It, too, proved to be cancerous and had to be removed. The week before the procedure, I got a drastic haircut. It seemed appropriate, somehow—after all, I didn't feel like quite the same person anymore. I had traded my cosmetics tray for bandages and wound care. I also posed for a family portrait on the day preceding my operation—just in case. Even though I knew that this was not a malignant melanoma, I still feared for my life.
Spreading the word
To make a long story short, I lived, I conquered and I am healing. I made a solemn promise to myself that I never will sunbathe outdoors or use a tanning bed again. The not-so-small scars on my once flawless breasts present a constant reminder. I am ashamed of myself because I should have known better. After all, I am a beauty professional.
As the result of my experience, I now am determined to launch my own personal campaign for skin cancer awareness, and want to share all I have learned with my clients and friends. The shelves of my business now display even more additions to my sun protection department. Hopefully, I have inspired you to do the same for your clientele.

"But isn't that school for drug addicts and losers?"
Recent parent response to inquiry about her son attending Creekside High School.
We hear it from the parents, from other teachers and sometimes from the students themselves. For many years, I really didn't care about the perception, knowing that I was doing a good job, the students were reengaging in learning and happy to have the autonomy that an alternative school setting affords.
This year is different, maybe because I'm seeing a little clearer, maybe because I'm tired of hearing comments by ignorant peers and maybe because I just want a little more respect for my co-teachers, my students and myself.
Creekside is a true alternative school; it is an alternative to SVHS. Founded about 20 years ago where the charter school is now, we moved from there to portables by Natheson Creek (thus the name Creekside), to portables in the high school parking lot (after the flood), to our current location in the L wing on the Sonoma Valley High School campus.
We have shorter classes (50 minutes), very little homework (we encourage students to work in the afternoons which most do), opportunities for independent study, DAAC (Drug and Alcohol Counseling), gang intervention, career counseling, goal setting, RSP support and vocational and career programs.
The three teachers teach all subjects based on the same standards as SVHS. Our graduation requirements are the same. Two of the teachers are currently teacher leaders for the Common Core State Standards. We like innovation and change, we believe in innovation and change. (Search Point Break, Common Core.)
We teach in three-week blocks where there is a driving question for each block. Currently, the question is, "Are you entitled" which students ponder and discuss using a variety of cross-curricular activities. In my Social Responsibility class, students are connecting with other kids in various parts of the world to see how 16-to-18-year-olds live. We are going on a walking fieldtrip to the Lisa Kristine Gallery and studying her work with worldwide slavery as part of the unit.
The final project for the three-week block is a Thanksgiving feast put on by students which has grown to include board members, parents and alumni.
Our students like the innovation. They like teachers who respect them and connect with them. We come up with pathways for their success, SRJC, vocational schools, the military, job training. We pay for the CHSPE or the GED if students want to move on without completing their high school requirements. We work on resumes, career interests, job placement and give credit for work experience. Many students come in with issues but nothing that can't be overcome. We are small, so if Johnny is angry on a Monday morning, we talk with him before trying to teach him algebra.
I have one simple rule in my classroom, which is to maintain a positive learning environment. That's it, just let me teach and let the other students learn.
I am not a lecturer but a facilitator. We currently have an on-site administrator available if students break the rules but our model is restorative justice, not punitive enforcement.
After 15 years, I have been lucky to work with some incredible teachers at Creekside; Kaki Shields, Bernie Fleming, Justin Hollander, Emily Brown and Nancy Case-Rico, all devoted, innovative and caring. Currently, teachers Rosemarie Green and Shireen Ellis plus our counselor Tracy Dorrance, administrator Sydney Smith and office manager Teri Hernandez have our machine running as smoothly as it ever has.
Our alumni usually end up working in local businesses or going to the JC and moving out of the area. I see them at Mary's, The Fairmont, Sonoma Market, Starbucks, and Sonoma Cinemas, where they have become productive members of our community. Some have babies, some go to college, some take longer than others to figure things out but they all eventually grow up.
Success is measured not by test scores but by engagement in life. This is not a quantifiable number and we don't care, at least I don't. If I can get a student to stop smoking pot and go to cosmetology school, that's a success. Take the GED and start working construction – success. Transform from angry at the world to optimistic – success. Approximately 15 students graduate each year from our program. It's an emotional, intimate graduation with lots of comments like, "I never would have made it without a school that gets me."
I encourage anyone who believes that we are a school for losers and drug addicts to schedule a visit and see what we are really about.

What are some songs that make you actually lose your breath and make tears come from your eyes?
Some emotional songs for me are:
Maggie - Colin Hay
Colin Hay of Men At Work goes solo and sings of love lost.
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQTNWPQGqSc]maggie - colin hay with lyrics - YouTube[/ame]
The Dying Rebel - The Wolfe Tones
The song recounts the aftermath of the Easter Rising of 1916.
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGlk1FTUN_Y]The Wolfe Tones - The Dying Rebel - YouTube[/ame]
Joe McDonnell - The Wolfe Tones
Brian Warfield of the Tones wrote this song to honor the Hunger Strikers of 1981.
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ybcgc8BQlQQ]Joe Mcdonnell - The Wolfe Tones (Video) - YouTube[/ame]
Sniper's Promise - The Wolfe Tones
Written by OIRA Volunteer Joe McCann in the early stages of The Troubles.
Spoiler: showThe song is especially sad because it is sadly ironic. The song tells of an Irish Republican shooting a British soldier. He then shows mercy and lets the soldier live. Not long after he wrote the song, an unarmed Joe McCann was shot in the back, then shot 10 times as he lay wounded on the ground.

Book of Mormon Problems
LDS Church members are taught that the Book of Mormon (BOM) is scripture, as well as a true record of the inhabitants of the Americas from about 2200 BC to 420 AD. Although it serves primarily as a religious text, it is to be interpreted literally as being an actual, historical record of the inhabitants of the ancient Americas.[1] Some Latter-day Saints believe that there is some archeological evidence supporting the BOM, many know there is little or no evidence and continue to believe in the book's authenticity despite these challenges. Critics cite numerous problems with the text that indicate it is of more modern origin such as anachronisms, DNA evidence, lack of archeological evidence, linguistic problems, etc.
Overview of LDS position
From the introduction to the BOM: "It is a record of God's dealings with the ancient inhabitants of the Americas and contains the fullness of the everlasting gospel." Members are encouraged to focus on the spiritual value of the BOM instead of the historical aspects.[2] On July 29, 1978, the Deseret News published an article in the Church News section (p. 16) that actively discouraged members from studying the historicity of the Book of Mormon because such efforts would prove "fruitless", that differing theories regarding Book of Mormon geography would "undermine faith" and that any theories put forth by scholars were nothing more than "personal speculations".
Overview of Critics' position
LDS critics maintain that the BOM is a work of fiction created in the 19th century. Critics do not accept that the BOM relates a real history of real people who came to America that were steel-smelting, chariot-driving, Christ-worshipping, temple-building people multipyling into millions, yet left absolutely no trace of their existence. No archeological, linguistic, DNA or any other evidence of Hebrew culture in the Americas has ever been found to support the BOM. The book also contains numerous anachronisms like horses, elephants, wheat, barley, steel, silk, etc., that scientists say didn't exist in the Americas during BOM times.
LDS member beliefs
The Book of Mormon is a true record of the inhabitants of the Americas from about 2200 BC to 420 AD. Although it serves primarily as a religious text, it is to be interpreted literally as being an actual, historical record of the inhabitants of the ancient Americas.
The Book of Mormon may have undergone some minor changes but these consist primarily of spelling or grammatical alterations and don't affect the overall meaning of the text.
Links recording official church version:
Book of Mormon title page: "Wherefore, it is an abridgment of the record of the people of Nephi, and also of the Lamanites-Written to the Lamanites, who are a remnant of the house of Israel."[1]
Book of Mormon introduction: "It is a record of God's dealings with the ancient inhabitants of the Americas and contains the fullness of the everlasting gospel.
The record gives an account of two great civilizations. One came from Jerusalem in 600 B.C., and afterward separated into two nations, known as the Nephites and the Lamanites. The other came much earlier when the Lord confounded the tongues at the Tower of Babel. This group is known as the Jaredites. After thousands of years, all were destroyed except the Lamanites, and they are the principal ancestors of the American Indians."[2]
NOTE: Past editions of the introduction[3] of the BOM say all of the people chronicled in the book were destroyed, except the Lamanites, and they are the principal ancestors of the American Indians." The new introduction reads much the same, but says the Lamanites are among the ancestors of the American Indians causing some debate.[4]
Concerning this record the Prophet Joseph Smith said: "I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book."[5]
Critics' Arguments
Latter-day Saints are repeatedly encouraged to rely on a witness of the spirit (i.e. Holy Ghost) to personally authenticate the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. Given this repeated encouragement from general and local leaders of reliance on supernatural manifestations over testable claims, it is not surprising that many faithful Latter-Day Saints (including many of us that contributed to this website) were or continue to be seemingly unfazed by the many criticisms directed at the Book of Mormon by Mormon and non-Mormon archaeologists and historians.
Unfortunately many faithful LDS members, by virtue of the admonition of their leaders (mentioned above), are virtually unaware of the many perplexing and genuine problems contained in the Book of Mormon text and as a result, are usually unable to effectively dialogue with critics without resorting to faith-based claims in supernatural manifestations (i.e. testimony) which really carry no authoritative weight for the many dedicated experts in the fields of archaeology, history, linguistics, genetics, etc.
MormonThink (MT) has compiled some of the most compelling arguments we could find from both critics and defenders of the Church. The following sections of this webpage provide details of several of the critics' arguments of the BOM and then responses from the LDS Church, apologists and true-believing members.
This is a list (from http://www.lds-mormon.com/bomquest.shtml) of contradictory and often anachronistic items that are apparent in the Book of Mormon text. We list the critics' arguments and LDS responses.
Book of Mormon Animals
Notice the horse in this LDS depiction of the Stripling Warriors from the Book of Mormon. Scientists say that the modern-day horse did not exist in the Americas during BOM times. It is universally accepted among mainstream archaeologists, anthropologists, and historians that there is no evidence of the existence of a pre-Columbian horse, excepting the long-extinct species.
The following is taken from wikipedia - Book of Mormon anachronisms (as of May 20, 2010):
Horses are mentioned fourteen times in the Book of Mormon, and are portrayed as an integral part of the cultures described.[1] There is no evidence that horses existed on the American continent during the 2500-3000 year history of the Book of Mormon (2500 B.C. - 400 A.D.) Horses evolved in North America,[2] but became extinct at the end of the Pleistocene.[3][4]). Horses did not reappear in the Americas until the Spaniards brought them from Europe.[5] They were brought to the Caribbean by Christopher Columbus in 1493,[6] and to the American continent by Cortés in 1519.[7]

LDS Church Response: We regret that we could not find this issue answered by the LDS church in any church publication or website. However, we found two basic responses from LDS apologists. References are provided so readers can review the apologetic responses in detail.
1. Scientists just haven't found the evidence yet.
Reference: wikipedia - Book of Mormon anachronisms:
2. The horse mentioned in the BOM isn't really a horse.
Reference: Neal A. Maxwell Institute:
Critic's Rebuttal: The first apologist argument that they did not find archeological evidence of lions in Palestine until very recently is not applicable since pictographic and literary evidence of horses in the New World (outside of the Book of Mormon) is unknown. There were writings and drawings of lions in Palestine and horses used by the Huns yet there are no writings or drawings of any modern-day horses by the natives of the Americas. The Native Americans had absolutely no knowledge of horses until Columbus and the Spaniards introduced them to the New World.
And the Neal A. Maxwell Institute is incorrect, they have found evidence of horses used by the Huns:
Apologists have mentioned that a pre-historic form of horse did exist in the Americas anciently. That is true but they migrated away from America and the horses that remained in America died out some 10,000 years ago, thousands of years before even the Jaredites arrived in America.
The second apologist argument that the horses described in the BOM were really deer or tapirs is absolutely ridiculous. Joseph Smith knew what a horse was and certainly the 'most correct book on earth' wouldn't mistranslate deer for horse 14 times. Can you imagine a tapir pulling the chariots as described in the Book of Mormon? Joseph managed tocome up with proper nouns like Curelom and Cumom and Ziff, Senine...but he couldn't get the real name for whatever he substituted horse for?
FAIR suggests that "early Nephites may have labeled deer "horses." Since the early Nephites came from Jerusalem, they of course would know what a horse was so this apologetic argument makes no sense.
Occasionally LDS members and even LDS apologists like Daniel Peterson talk of some evidence found of modern-day horses in America, but these are well-known hoaxes such as the Spencer Lake Hoax when an archeological student buried a horse skull at an archeological dig. FAIR actually made a video in which they cite the Spencer Lake horse as evidence of horses in BOM times. FAIR has now put this disclaimer about their video:
LDS Member Argument: But in the past 10 years most of FARMS is moving away from Tapirs now back to literal horses on the grounds that pre-Columbian Horses are now a reality as this link shows.
Critic's Rebuttal: The article states that archaeologists working in Carlsbad, CA have unearthed a skeleton of a horse that may have lived and died 50 years before the Spanish are known to have brought horses to the area. They assert that Radiocarbon dating indicates the remains are 340 years old, plus or minus 40 years.
It's much more likely that the radiocarbon dating is simply off another 65 years and that the horse was brought by the Spanish in 1769. OR, it's quite possible that the Spanish brought horses before those missions were founded. Why would anyone think that no one could have brought a horse to California before 1769 since even Columbus brought horses with him on his second voyage to the Americas in 1493?
What seems more likely – their radiocarbon dating is off a few years or that horses ran wild in the Americas during BofM times and no other trace has ever been found of them? How could every other horse skeleton, every bridle, every saddle, every depiction of horses and every memory of people using horses totally vanish and leave absolutely no trace?
Article: Why did horses die out in North America?
Editor Comments: As children, we were all taught in American History classes about the profound impact that horses had on the Indians once they were introduced to the New World by the Europeans. We have a hard time believing that all the history books, scientists, Indian records, etc. are all wrong about something that was so important to the Native Americans. If the ancient inhabitants of the Americas really had the horse as described in the BOM, we can't conceive of how or why they would let this most useful of all animals disappear and leave absolutely no trace of its existence.
Interesting note: Solomon Spalding, in his fictional piece Manuscript Story, mentions horses in connection with the inhabitants of the New World. So perhaps it's no wonder that the author(s) of the BOM might make the same mistake.
Detailed Analysis of horses in the Book of Mormon
Perhaps the best, most comprehensive discussion of the horse problem in the BOM can be found in this essay : http://www.mormonmesoamerica.com/horses.htm (An archived backup of this webpage is here).
The author provides over-whelming evidence to show how the use of the word 'horse' in the BOM is a very serious problem to the credibility of the BOM. All of the apologists' arguments are evaluated in detail. To summarize this section, here are the "if….then" questions that need to be evaluated in context:
If the horse did exist in Mesoamerica during Book of Mormon times, then not a single bone or tooth from any of these horses has ever been discovered, despite the fact that the remains of an abundance of other animals have been discovered in Mesoamerica.
If horses existed in ancient Mesoamerica during the Book of Mormon time period, then despite the fact that ancient Mesoamericans depicted many animals in art and ideology, they never depicted a horse or included the horse in any of their mythology.
If the horse existed in Mesoamerica since Jaredite times, then it left no trace of the sort of social evolutionary impact that we see in other cultures that possessed the horse.
If the Book of Mormon "horse" is really a tapir, then tapirs were domesticated only by one small group of people, never to be replicated by anyone else, despite sharing characteristics that disqualify large mammals from domestication.
It seems clear that each of these proposals is highly unlikely, and fails to fit within the context of not only what we know about ancient Mesoamerica, but what we know about the history of other peoples in other parts of the world, as well.
The following is taken from wikipedia - Book of Mormon anachronisms (as of May 20, 2010):
Elephants are mentioned twice in a single verse in the Book of Ether.[1]Mastodons and mammoths lived during the Pleistocene in the New World, however, as with the prehistoric horse, the fossil record indicates that they became extinct along with most of the megafauna about the end of the last Ice Age. The source of this extinction is speculated to be the result of human predation, a significant climate change, or a combination of both factors.[2][3] It is known that a small population of mammoths survived on St. Paul Island, Alaska up until 8,000 B.P., but even this date is thousands of years before the Jaredite record in the Book of Mormon begins.
1. Ether 9:19 "And they also had horses, and asses, and there were elephants..."
2. Diamond 1999
3. Sharon Levy, "Mammoth Mystery, Did Climate Changes Wipe Out North America's Giant Mammals, Or Did Our Stone Age Ancestors Hunt Them To Extinction?, Onearth, winter 2006, pp15-19
LDS Church Response: We regret that we could not find this issue answered by the LDS church in any church publication or web site. However we found responses from LDS apologists.
Scientists just haven't found the evidence yet.
Reference: wikipedia - Book of Mormon anachronisms:
Also, from FAIR:
Some scholars have suggested that the elephant (mammoth or mastodon) lived later than hitherto believed. Ludwell Johnson, in an article entitled "Men and Elephants in America" published in Scientific Monthly, wrote that
If the elephants had died off at least 3000 years ago, they would still have been well within range of the Jaredite era. And as noted above, some evidence indicates that the elephant may have survived in limited numbers for centuries later. https://web.archive.org/web/20130402233722/http://www.mormonfortress.com/elph1.html - archived copy
Critic's Rebuttal: FAIR, and other apologist sites, use Ludwell H. Johnson as a source for pre-columbian horses as well as elephants in America during BOM times. The quoted article: "Men and Elephants in America" (Scientific Monthly, Oct., 1952) Note Johnson's bio on Wiki:
His expertise was Civil War economics; not elephants or horses, present day or pre-columbian.
In addition, here is another article from the same magazine, as an example, of how it's content was a bit "out there": http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/animals/comments/jumpin_yuccy
Naming a publication "Scientific" doesn't make it so.
LDS apologists will search and search until they find someone that will support their claims, whether they are really qualified or not as shown above. The fact is the vast majority of non-Mormon scientists support the views of the critics as that is where the critics get their information from in the first place - the general scientific community. Regarding the elephants cited by the apologists, first off all scientists agree that elephants did not exist in the Americas, however Mastodons, which are not elephants, did exist in stone-age times. Giving Joseph Smith some latitude here and equating elephants with mastodons, here's what one of the most respected scientific organizations in the world, the National Geographic Society says:
So although Mastodons (once again not elephants) lived in the Americas, they died out several thousands of years before the Jaredites even came to the Americas.
FAIR's reply: In addition to mastodons, another species of an elephant-like creature existed in the New World and did not go extinct until after the time of Christ. Mormonthink is again unaware or withholding information.
Elephants are only present in Jaredite times in the Book of Mormon. Both mastodons and gomphotheres are elephant-like creatures that are plausible candidates. (FAIR)
Critic's Reply: Google 'gomphotheres' and you'll see that the scientific community believes they went extinct long before the BOM mentions elephants:
And how is MormonThink withholding this information as FAIR claims?
Editor Comment: Scientists have not been able to find any bone or fossilized evidence of elephants or mastodons in the Americas in BOM times. However, we are intrigued by this drawing that some LDS defenders on LDS message boards promote as literary evidence of elephants in America:
This could be an elephant. Certainly that interpretation can easily be made. To us it looks like an elephant. It's not complete and detailed enough for a positive identification. One problem is that the scientific community seems to ignore this depiction. We can find no archeologist that states this is an elephant (sometimes Alpheus Hyatt Verrill is cited as endorsing this but he is an author, illustrator, naturalist, explorer and science fiction writer of the 20s and 30s but not an archeologist). The website this originally is taken from is http://www.delange.org/Copan1/Copan1.htm The caption under the stone carving says
"Look Again For Elephants!
Elephant or Macaw?
Many LDS faithful (and some outside the church) say the above drawing depicts an elephant. Many critics (including those outside of the LDS context) say this depicts a form of parrot known as a Macaw. Many of us objective writers at MormonThink initially sided with the LDS faithful as this drawing looks a lot more like an elephant than it does a parrot. As there is no other evidence to support the existence of elephants in the Americas during BOM times, such as tusks or very clear, complete carvings, we decided to investigate it further:
Critics maintain the drawing looks like an elephant because it is an extrapolation from a damaged original. The original stone carving had corner pieces broken off of it which made the parrot unrecognizable and what is left somewhat resembles an elephant head. It looks to me like the person who made the sketch decided the macaw tails looked like elephant's trunks, and his imagination filled in the parts that are missing.
"It's a macaw, and the rendering done in the original post is not very accurate.
Here's a quick little lesson on Maya iconographic conventions so you know how to tell it's a parrot:
1. The dots/beading around the eye. Look at the photo of the parrot. The pattern of skin around the eye was depicted as dots or beads by the ancient Maya, which you can see in the clearer examples I've attached. Unfortunately, in the poorly done drawing in the original post, the artist did not complete the beading, but instead made it kind of look like a pile of grapes on top of and below a weird little ear.
2. A macaw's top beak is lined with black on the bottom, and the shading gives the allusion of a little hook towards the top of the beak on the inside (see the photo). The drawing in the original post represents the shading by the crosshatched ovals towards the bottom of the supposed elephant trunk. Cross-hatching was the Maya way of showing that something was black. The little hook or protrusion on the inside toward the top is because of the black shading; the artist basically drew the little hook correctly.
3. The Maya almost always indicated a Macaw by a little curl coming up from the neck, which you can also see in all of the examples I've provided as well as the drawing in the original post.
Although the elephant image is not so apparent in the glyphs, you still can see the trunk and many similarities to the sculpture which resemble the elephant.
None of those sculptures or drawings look anywhere close to the ones that others think are elephants. Most people will think that the Stela 5 figures are elephants, especially if they do not know where they are to be found, than macaws.
Here is a link to some other macaw sculptures.
Some email discussion threads where this topic is discussed by both critics and LDS faithful:
http://www.mormonapologetics.org/topic/45847-elephant-or-parrot/page__st__20 (archived)
The following stone carving is where the picture comes from. You can see that the top corner pieces are broken off - that is why what remains appears to be an elephant.
From the close-up, it's easy to see the damage to the top of the stone.
Also, scholars now are able to decipher the hieroglyphs contained on the stone monument and they confirm that it was a macaw on the stone and not an elephant (reference: Dr. Coe, mormonstories podcast #168).
Elephant Deity Transferred from the Old World?
Although the Macaw explanation explains the images presented above, there may be evidence of pottery found after BOM times (900 A.D.) that might also require an explanation. We present this just for information purposes even though this is not presented as evidence of elephants during BOM times and we only saw it on one obscure non-LDS related website. Perhaps the following answer to this mystery is something that explains why there are no remains of elephants in America yet there may be images of elephants (yet we cannot find any other well-documented images except the one we explained above). The website http://www.world-mysteries.com/gw_kearsley.htm postulates that the knowledge of the Elephant god made its way from India through Africa to South America and was incorporated into the ancient Mayan culture.

Social Media How-To
With social media, we can mix that camaraderie with political advocacy, social action and fundraising.
There are many social media channels, and we want to help you to use them for what's most suitable for your chapter's needs.
You've probably heard of it. If you are one of those rare breeds of Facebookless people and have not heard of it, Facebook, in a nutshell, is a social networking service that allows users who sign up the ability to share photos and comments, as well as virtual gifts and web content (such as links to articles, music, etc) with other users, who are other friends, organizations, celebrities, causes and other things.
Facebook is the most appropriate social media tool for Hadassah's chapters because it enables organizations to mix social with business: Facebook allows chapters to connect to members, members to connect to one another and all parties to connect to National through sharing of relevant information.
How to Open and Account & Start a Chapter Page
Visit National's Facebook page
LinkedIn is a professional networking site built for connecting professionals to other professionals they already know and/or would like to know professionally. Professional professionally professional: I can't say it any stronger. It is a great place for your chapter to establish an online presence in an effort to reach out to young people interested in e-membership and/or too busy with work to physically attend meetings but want to be involved and informed on important issues. You can create a group page and start discussions on topics relevant to your chapter.
Visit Hadassah's LinkedIn Page
Twitter is an endless stream of short bits of information that organizations can use to get quick messages out and be able to interact more readily with their followers. It's great for a unit with a lot going on or whose members are technologically advanced.
Reccomended Accounts to Follow
Pinterest is an online pinboard that allows you to share images from around the web that link to their origin. It is very moldable: you can make it about whatever you want because it is based on your interests. You can create a board for recipes, home goods, or for your chapters' favorite books.
How Members Can Help
Members' involvement is pivotal; they can spread the word to their friends who aren't "Hadassah people", and help Hadassah spread news about our organization, relations between the United States and Israel, and activisim in the United States—as well as help mesh the relationship between National and local chapters by sharing content with us. You can help Hadassah achieve this by getting your chapter's members involved on the following social media sites, especially whichever are interesting to them.
If you have questions, leave them in a comment on this page or email Stephanie Stark at email@example.com.

Back in time at Farm Museum
Monday, August 26, 2013
MILTON — Summertime means ice cream, so what better way to spend the last weekend before school starts than with an ice cream tasting.
"The horse-drawn rides were very popular," said Shea, of the rides that took guests on tours of the farm.
Deborah Mears said she appreciated that they had "a lot of hands-on stuff."
Her little ones enjoyed participating in all of the activities. "Katie loves doing the laundry," she said of the washboard and bucket which she washed dishclothes in.
Experiencing and enjoying those simple chores and activities from the colonial days is exactly the opportunity the museum hopes to provide.
"We hold these Old Time Farm Days to try to pass on old farm traditions as well as crafts and skills," said Shea.
Vickie Livermore, of Belmont, Mass., brought her children Mariko, 11, and Justin, 5, and their friends to the event, which they try to make it to every year. "We come for all their big events," she said.
"I liked doing the kids' chores," said Mariko Livermore.
"I liked chasing the chickens," said her little brother.
"It's nice with all the people here. The kids can run around and try things out. It's so relaxed," said Vickie Livermore.

USS Biloxi (CL-80)
"On the morning of March 27, 1945 during Okinawa preparations four suicide planes attacked the light cruiser USS Biloxi. Three were shot down in flames but the fourth broke through the umbrella of ack-ack to smash itself against the cruiser's side. Later investigation revealed a 500-kilogram bomb which failed to explode. Rendered harmless, the bomb became the prized possession of the quarterdeck where it is shown being examined by Major Anthony V.

everything is wonderful!!! indeed art alexakis....it is.
OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so, i went to the everclear concert tonight and i had no idea how absolutely amazing it would turn out to be. let me just say that art alexakis is a true genius. i admit, i was worried that the show was going to be cancelled because of the whole first avenue thing going bankrupt and all....but THANKFULLY- the show was rescheduled at a place called CABOOZE. ridiculously easy to get to- even by my standards....honestly- i could get me there if i had to. WITHOUT getting lost. :) hooray. honestly, the place was kinda dingy- it has a reputation for being a biker bar....and i was pretty surprised at the number of older people that were at the place. a lot of them were indeed bikers....with their harley's parked outside. but there were also quite a few older women sipping wine from their glasses and bobbing their hands to and fro to the awesome music. the first band, michael tolcher was amazing. i'd like to get my hands on a copy of their album. one of the guitar players looked like a younger, more college like version of lenny kravitz and he was beautiful. definitely a hip cat. michael tolcher's drummer is a god. and i mean no blasphemy or anything by that...i promise. i could have stood there and watched him perform all night long. a person could tell that he was born to be there and do just that in that moment, and nothing else. the expressions on his face while performing were enough to inspire anyone. *sigh* that was really corny. one white guy and three hip black dudes....you don't see that too often. you really don't see that combination come together to create really good music. that's a truly rare thing. one of the beautiful things in life. whee. like sushi. i like sushi. the second band, avion (french for airplane, i think) wasn't that bad. wasn't really good though, either. they had a couple decent songs, but nothing to go crazy about. finally, after waiting literally hours....and change....(i arrrived at 7:50, doors didn't open til 8, and the show didn't start til 9. show- meaning the opening bands. everclear themselves didn't actually start playing until probably 11:20ish.) THEY came out!!! i can't even begin to describe in words the feelings, vibe, energy, all that good stuff of the place. everyone around me was shouting and yelling as loud as they possibly could and i loved every second of it. i love people who love their music and support their bands unconditionally. the lead singer, art looked exactly like i expected him to. perfect. what is it about me and lead singers? it's love at first sight, i tell ya. love at first sight. he played all of his classic stuff and some fairly new stuff and of course all of my favorite songs...wonderful, i will buy you a new life, father of mine, santa monica, etc....all great tunes. he's such a down to earth person and throughout the whole concert, he joked around with the audience. at one point, this random kid standing next to me pulled out the cover to a cd case....a blank label and wrote "i can play santa monica" in huge letters. i thought it was an album of his that he wanted everclear to listen to and recommend him or something, but then he just held the label up. various members of the band glanced at the note and nodded. some smiled. once art noticed, he asked the kid is he was serious. did he really know how to play the whole song? "sure" this bizarre, rather homely kid replied. "well then get your ass up on this stage and play!" unbelievable. art GAVE this kid HIS guitar and told him to go to town. honestly, i was blown away by the whole thing. i've never seen such a performance between a musician and a fan. maybe i've been living under a rock. maybe the musicians i see are too caught up in their own world. who knows. in any case, after the song, art told the kid that he was incredible, which, i agree with. he was pretty damn good. and they hugged. it was cute. after two encores, the band came back out and played the "jenny" song. you know....8675309....and art asked if any of the girls wanted to come up on stage and dance. haha it was great. i should have. i wanted to. i could have. oh well. in any case- the music was phenomenal, the band rocked like i never thought they would and i had the best time! oooohhhh and dims is coming tomorrow afternoon!!!! i can't wait to see you q!! we'll definitely have to have a night out on the town!!! i <3 you!!!!it's 3 in the morning now and i have class in a few hours. i'm actually going to bed. aren't you proud? i'm excited to wear my everclear shirt. it's nifty. for those of you that won't get to see it- that's just too darn bad. someday.

An OAO Gazprom delegation discussed Russian gas supplies to Austria in meetings in Vienna on Apr. 22.
Alexey Miller, chairman of Gazprom's management committee, met with Gerhard Roiss, chief executive officer of OMV, and Reinhold Mitterlehner, Austria's federal minister of economy.
Regarding the South Stream gas pipeline project (OGJ Online, Mar. 11, 2014), Miller said Gazprom agreed to a proposal by Austria "to look into the possibility of constructing a gas pipeline section in Austria within the existing intergovernmental agreement, simultaneously with the Slovenian section."
Roiss said, "I believe that the economic integration of Europe and our partners in Russia is the way to preserve the stability of our continent."
According to Gazprom's web site, the company supplied Austria 5.23 billion cu m of gas in 2013.

Are my kids becoming hoarders? LOL
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 03-22-2013 - 2:12pm
I started a similar thread on the "six & seven year old" board but thought I'd try here too.
My kids have so much STUFF in their rooms! It's like they are becomine hoarders or something! Their rooms are just so full of...clutter for lack of a better word. Both my husband and I tend to be pretty neat people so this is driving us batty. It's not even like all toys or anything. Candy wrappers, rocks from the backyard, part of a shoelace (?!?). Whenever I try to talk them into getting rid of some it, they claim some sort of sentimental attachment to it. Help!
|Thu, 03-28-2013 - 2:40am
LOL! My kids are a bit older than yours but they definitely went through this phase! They're a little beter now but I distinctly remember my oldest son hugging and clinging on to an old washing maching that had broken, begging us not to get rid of it. It seemed like the could form an attachment to anything!!!
My best trick to deal with it was to get rid of "stuff" when they were at school. Nine time out of ten, they never missed it if they weren't here when it went away.
Good luck!

Ross filed for divorce on Friday, Jan. 28, 2013 in Los Angeles, roughly five months after it was revealed that Sanders had engaged in a brief affair with actress Kristen Stewart. (AP Photo/Alastair Grant, File)
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Rupert Sanders' wife has filed for divorce five months after it was revealed the director had a brief affair with actress Kristen Stewart.
Liberty Ross, Sanders' wife of more than nine years, filed for divorce Friday in Los Angeles citing irreconcilable differences.
Ross' filing cites irreconcilable differences for the couple's breakup. They have two children, an 8-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son.
The model-actress is seeking joint custody of the children and spousal support from her estranged husband, who directed Stewart in "Snow White and the Huntsman."
TMZ, which first reported the filing, stated that Sanders also filed divorce paperwork but it was not available on Monday.
Stewart, who has been dating "Twilight" co-star Robert Pattinson, apologized for her fling with Sanders in July after it was revealed by US Weekly.

1. Assure that the physical facility of the lab is wheelchair accessible.
It is important to assess the wheelchair accessibility of the science lab. A student needs to access the physical facility, as well as the science lab materials and resources. Lab tables, sinks, and other workspaces should allow wheelchair access and proper workspace height. If the physical facility is not wheelchair accessible, you should contact the facilities management and disabled students services offices. A temporary solution will need to be negotiated with the student, facilities management, and disabled student services staff. Additional guidelines to enhance access to laboratory spaces and equipment include keeping the aisles wide and clear and storing materials and equipment within the reach of someone in a wheelchair.
