That is the question that this article asks. And what is the author's answer: vote Republican. This time that is exactly what the writer says: "If Christians cannot vote in good conscience for the Romney/Ryan ticket due to the Mormon connection, please consider stopping the modern King Herod by voting against President Obama. That would be the 'R' selection on the ballot."
As I have written before, Romney being a Mormon is the last thing I am concerned about. And as many times as I have said it, I will say it again: Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil. Now, I don't believe that Romney is the lesser of two evils. On some things he is and on other things he isn't. But even if he were clearly the lesser of two evils, voting for him would still be voting for evil. And Christians are told to "abstain from all appearance of evil" (1 Thessalonians 5:22). The writer of the article in question says that by not voting for Romney (whether by not voting or voting for a third party) you will be helping Obama to get reelected. But doing evil so that good may come is still doing evil (Romans 3:8). Christians should be doing what is good and not evil and leaving the consequences up to God.
Christian, if you feel you have to vote, then just vote for Gary Johnson and get it out of your system—like Ron Paul. Yes, I know Johnson is not pro-life, but that is one reason why I wrote this.2:35 pm on October 7, 2012 Email Laurence M. Vance

Why use mailSimply?
Each voter thinks differently. Women and men, seniors and college students, liberals and conservatives. Why waste your resources on delivering your message to the wrong audience? Why not target a specific audience? Costly television advertising is broadcast to thousands of households without regard to voter registration. A piece of mail, fax, or voice broadcast can be sent exclusively to voters, ensuring that your campaign is not wasting time and money reaching people who will not vote.
These methods allow you to be more issue intensive. Unlike broadcast media you can go into further detail about a candidate's stance on the issues. This is important for voters who care about one issue or another. It can also allow a candidate to give his endorsement for lesser known candidates, offices, and positions.
Getting your message before the voting public can make the difference in a close election. More than 50 members of Congress elected in 2004 achieved a vote margin of less than 10 percent, a difference of just a few thousand voters. Strategically placed direct mail, faxes or voice broadcasts can drive the right group to the polls to help make the difference between success and failure.
MailSimply, our full-service product, is perfect for any organization that is in need of a turnkey solution for direct mail through the US Postal Service. Our staff will handle all aspects of each mail broadcast. Whether it is helping you design your mailer or managing your database, or even assisting your campaign in acquiring a list of addresses, PoliticalEdge.com will get your message to the desired locations quickly and cost-effectively.

late Middle English: from Jack, pet form of the given name John. The term was used originally to denote an ordinary man (sense 6), also a youth (mid 16th century), hence the 'knave' in cards and 'male animal'. The word also denoted various devices saving human labour, as though one had a helper (sense 1, sense 3, sense 9, sense 10, and in compounds such as jackhammer and jackknife); the general sense 'labourer' arose in the early 18th century and survives in cheapjack, lumberjack, steeplejack, etc. Since the mid 16th century a notion of 'smallness' has arisen, hence sense 4, sense 5, sense 7, sense 13.

– a potential contribution to the Bio-economy Observatory
A JRC Scientific and Policy report published in January 2013 explores and delineates the analytical scope of the emerging "bio-economy". The report, entitled "Bio-economy and sustainability: a potential contribution to the Bio-economy Observatory", outlines the concept of bio-economy and its drivers, distinguishes bio-economy sectors from eco-industries, and reviews the EU policy approach to the bio-economy. It also provides a snapshot of the bio-economy, explores options for its measurement and monitoring, and reviews current standardisation and research activities.
The bio-economy encompasses the production of primary (from flora or sea resources) and secondary (e.g. waste and residues) biological resources, and their conversion into value-added products, such as food, feed, chemicals, materials, biofuels, etc. With the world population moving towards 9 billion by 2050 and fossil resources dwindling, a shift towards a greener and more sustainable society that is less dependent on fossil fuels is called for. The bio-economy offers a promising opportunity to address complex and inter-connected challenges, while helping to achieve economic growth. It can facilitate the transition towards a more resource-efficient society that satisfies the demand from consumers and industry, and tackles environmental challenges.
While not specifically intended to prepare the ground for the future EU Bio-economy Observatory (BO), this JRC Scientific and Policy Report could inform the design of monitoring activities to be undertaken within the BO framework. It recommends the adoption of a coordinated management of renewable biological resources in agriculture, food production, bio-based industries and energy. It also proposes that a comprehensive analytical framework and an integrative methodology, based on a product-chain approach, be used to monitor the evolution of the EU bio-economy. The report recommends that further research be carried out on harmonising the identified datasets and methodologies, and that further bio-economy data information and analyses be gathered and integrated. To this end, a dedicated questionnaire is provided in the report.

What is the Best Exercise to Get Flat Abs?
Should I do cardio or sit-ups to get a flat stomach?Question:
Jeanette Jenkins
Jeanette Jenkins, founder and president of The Hollywood Trainer is the author of The Hollywood Trainer Weight-Loss Plan: 21 Days to Make... Read more
A: To get a flat stomach, you must take a four-point approach:
1. Eat a balanced diet that is at least 500 calories less than your daily calorie burn rate if you have weight around your stomach to lose.
2. Do a mixture of core exercises that include regular crunches and heavy resistance such as the ab plank, weighted crunches or the ab wheel.
3. Do cardio exercise so that you're burning fat all over your body (including the fat over your stomach.) Choose cardio exercises that require you to recruit your core muscles such as kickboxing, jogging, power walking, dancing and stair climbing.
4. Do total body resistance training (yoga, Pilates, circuit training) that incorporates the core to get faster results.

From The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Beowulf Bash
A hurricane we are told is drink you can find in New Orleans, plant Earth. Not to be confused with a weather event that wiped out power and Internet servers up and down the east coast just two weeks before the great 2012 Beowulf Bash was being promoted with a real catchy and clever promotion that included said Internet, wires, and electrons.
All is not lost, however, things are coming back up and we will still be clever about the Bash for a few more days. Let's be clear we did not panic (much).
We also do not wish to make light of this storm, to all those who lost power, property, or loved ones, we hope recovery is swift and healing.

Blackhawks-Kings Game 3 didn't change a thing

Updated: June 5, 2013 11:23AM
LOS ANGELES—Other than Patrick Sharp almost getting into a fight, Game 3 of the Western Conference finals played out in predictable fashion Tuesday night at Staples Center. The Los Angeles Kings' 3-1 victory over the Blackhawks was not a series-turner. It was a typical ''that's why they call it hockey'' game.
The Kings, down 2-0 in the series, pushed back and played well. The Blackhawks, up 2-0 in the series, took their time in realizing what was hitting them, showed frustration, finally responded too late in the game — not surprsingly when desperation set it — and after a late third-period flurry against Jonathan Quick were left to lament that if only hockey were a four-period game they would have won.
That's why they call it hockey.
''It's another game,'' said Kings forward Tyler Toffoli, who had another productive night in place of injured center Mike Richards. ''Playoff hockey, and it's no real surprise.''The Hawks, of course, took the loss in stride, knowing that tomorrow — Game 4 at Staples Center — is another day. Even Sharp casually brushed off his tiff with Justin Williams, when the two scrapped prior to a faceoff and were separated by officials before any blows could be struck. They only let the fighters fight, it seems.
''He asked me to fight,'' Sharp said, ''If he asks me again, I'll fight him any day.''
Depending on whom you're rooting for, that shows either the Hawks' frustration — that the tougher-than-he-looks but non-combative Sharp could be coaxed into a fight — or their refusal to back down against a team they seem to know they are better than.
''No. No,'' Toews said when asked if the Hawks were getting frustrated by the Kings. ''We stayed with it. We stayed positive. And we had quite a few chances late in the game. We were finally starting to get to that level we needed to be. We just didn't do it for 60 minutes.''
Unless Hawks defenseman Duncan Keith is suspended after whacking Jeff Carter in the face and drawing blood in retaliation in Game 3, nothing that happened Tuesday night changed the course of this series — wherever it is headed. The Hawks have a good chance to win Thursday night for a commanding 3-1 lead and a chance to clinch the series at the United Center on Saturday night. Unless the Kings raise their game to yet another level in Game 3, the Hawks still would be on course to win the series even if they come home 2-2.
To put it in typical hockey simplicity, the Hawks are still the Hawks. The Kings are still the Kings. And Jonathan Quick is still Jonathan Quick. As Mike Babcock would say, ''Series on.''
''We didn't want to give them any feeling that they're alive and they're getting the momentum back in the series,'' Hawks captain Jonathan Toews said. ''But they played a good game and we just didn't have enough to get the result we wanted to.''
The Kings have every right to feel they've turned the momentum in their favor, even though they haven't. The Kings are 8-0 at home in the playoffs. But the Hawks clearly are undeterred even after the Game 3 loss. They have won at least one road game in their last eight playoff series dating to the 2010 Stanley Cup championship run.
''We still like where we are in the series,'' Toews said, ''but we know we definitely have to bounce back and have a much better effort in Game 4.''
More often than not it takes a little bit of desperation and experience to spark them on the road. The Blackhawks have lost the first road game of a playoff series six consecutive times over the past four seasons. The two times they won the first road game they were in a situation of need — beating Vancouver 5-2 in Game 3 when they were 1-1 against the Canucks; and beating San Jose 2-1 in Game 1 when they did not have home-ice advantage.
In all other situations, it's almost as if took them a game to get comfortable and then played the way they expected to play. It happened against the Red Wings in the previous series when they played well in Game 3 but lost 3-1, then played even better in Game 4 and lost 2-0 with an empty-netter. Facing elimination in Game 6 at Joe Louis Arena, they scored three third-period goals to turn a 2-1 deficit into a playoff-changing 4-3 victory.
Hockey players don't see the big picture — they're good at what they do because they only live in the moment. So it's not surprising that a player of Toews' caliber had no clue about that road trend — the idea that it sometimes takes a game for the Hawks to get comfortable enough to play their game on the road.
''I don't know [about that],'' Toews said. ''We don't really think about what game it is in the series. We go into every single game expecting and planning on winning. We just didn't play well enough to win. We'll play well enough the next game and chase the result that we want.''
Based on that history, the Hawks remain on course. They were clearly outplayed in Game 3, but all their issues were a result of the Kings' energy-and-effort reversal. After so many playoff series, the response is predictable: the Hawks will come up with a big effort in Game 4. They'll play better, get more opportunities and the difference between winning and losing will be the same as it was in Game 1 and 2 in Chicago: Can they get enough pucks past Jonathan Quick?

DominoBot 2 was my take on re-creating my original DominoBot. After I had finished the original,
I found ways to make it more efficient and better at what the original did. I also did not have the limitations of the parts supplied with the RIS and UBS sets.
One of the parts that needed re-designing was the mechanism used to force domino's out of the chamber. The original tended to have difficulties at times. I devised a mechanism using rack plates (3 – 1×4's). It is driven by the same motor that moves the loader arm, but the method does not allow slip-up or misalignment. A touch sensor at the full-out and -in positions ensure that Dbot2 knows exactly when a domino has been pushed out and when the rack has reset.
Check out newer versions of DominoBot (NXT).

DRP Scoring
Questar provides complete scoring and reporting services to meet the needs of DRP test users.
Because DRP test results describe what students are able to read, Questar can report the results in relation to "real world" performance benchmarks or in relation to literacy standards and goals set by districts. The sample reports shown below illustrate this capability.
Questar's scoring services are designed to be flexible. A basic fee covers the scanning and scoring of tests and the printing of one roster of student test results. You select the additional services and reports that best meet your local reporting objectives.
Questar offers:
Scanning, scoring, and standard reports within 15 business days
Choice of score reports – including rosters, individual narrative reports, performance charts, students' labels, and parent reports, and group summary reports and profiles
Preprinting of class identification sheets and student information on DRP answer sheets and barcode labels for machine-scorable DRP booklets
Customized score reports, tailored to meet your needs
Basic Service
A basic fee is charged for scanning, scoring, error resolving, and providing one roster of results for each DRP test administered. Optional services and additional reports may be added.
Basic Optional Services
There are four Basic Options you may wish to consider to meet the particular reporting requirements of your school or district. All prices are per student unless otherwise stated.
Basic Option 1: Local Goals and Standards
A written description of your district's standards and cut scores is required.
Basic Option 2: Local Percentile Ranks
A minimum of 100 students per grade is needed for this option. National norms are displayed as well, unless otherwise requested.
Basic Option 3: Special Codes
Produce score reports for subgroups of students disaggregated by ethnicity/race, special programs, or other variables. Call Questar for assistance in using special codes in the Teacher Use Only field of answer sheets, consumable test booklets, and identification sheets.
Basic Option 4: Match Student Data
Display student test scores from fall and spring of same year, or match data over two years to produce longitudinal reports. Student score gains may be included on certain score reports.
Additional Optional Services
FREE Preprinting! Questar will preprint school information on Identification Sheets and student names or ID numbers on DRP answer sheets at no charge for scoring customers. This will reduce the work for teachers, speed scoring orders, and eliminate the need for students to "bubble in" their information.
Preprinted barcode labels for DRP machine-scorable booklets are also available, for a small fee.
Please submit school and student data to Questar Scoring Services at least 6 weeks prior to the test date so that the identification sheets and answer sheets or barcode labels can be prepared and mailed to you in sufficient time. Call Questar Customer Service at (800) 800-2598 for file format specifications.
Return of Answer Documents
Questar Scoring Services retains answer documents for 60 days following completion of scoring and reporting. Schools wishing to have their answer documents returned in bulk must order this service at the same time scoring is ordered.
Results Data CD
Schools and districts requiring student test data in an electronic format may order a CD of students' test results. Data include DRP scores at five levels of comprehension, item response string, national norms, and student information. Data can be easily imported into local database programs, including Excel and Access.

Evans relates how he got to know and marry the beautiful Ali McGraw.
A documentary of the rise, fall and reemergence of Hollywood producer Robert Evans, who brought us classic films like The Godfather and Chinatown. A cocaine habit (never heard THAT one before, eh?) almost blew him away, but he kicked it to make a respectable showing in the '90s with films like The Saint and Sliver. This biopic relies heavily on Evans' memory and interpretation of events, so it may not be the most objective ever made, but it's innovative and interesting, just the same.

There are not many colleges that offer an Acquisition and Contract Management Associate's degree. Often, however, you can take purchasing and contract management courses as you are earning your Associate's in Business Administration which is a related degree (just a bit more broad in scope). Either path may prepare students for careers in which they manage the purchasing of goods and contracts with vendors. According to the Department of Labor, tasks that these professional roles tend to include are representing companies in negotiating the price of goods or fees for services of outside companies, resolving the grievances of vendors, and developing the process for purchasing within a corporation. Professionals who perform these duties have varying job titles that may include purchasing manager, procurement officer, and materials manager.
A two year degree that focuses on acquisition and contract management will probably have a curriculum that focuses on purchasing and contracts. This type of degree might also cover the core principles of business administration with courses that go over accounting, management, and finances. Colleges often focus much of their instruction on communication and problem solving within a business environment. For contract and purchasing courses, teachings on communication skills might focus on resolving contractual disputes.

Anyone who's seen old movies that take place within the depths of the African jungle or across the barren Sahara desert has probably seen an early Land Rover in action. Stark and strictly down-to-business in appearance, those first Land Rovers served as the grandfather of the modern four-wheel-drive sport-utility vehicle, which became so popular in the 1980s and beyond.
Land Rovers appeared in countless films, breezing their way through the most forbidding terrain, spare tire mounted atop the hood, headlamps peering out from behind a mesh screen. Headlamps became exposed before long, and the hood-mounted spare tire faded away; but the angular and upright Land Rover otherwise continued in its original form for several decades. Along the way, the British automaker also moved upscale with a batch of posher models, some nearly as capable as that earnest original.
Only a few years after World War II, the Rover company in Britain introduced a response to the American Jeep, which had served so valiantly in the military and become a lasting icon. In 1948, the first Land Rover debuted with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, which grew twice in size over the next decade. Six-cylinder engines became available in 1967. Eventually, diesel engines and even a V-8 became available. But by 1974, original-style Land Rovers were no longer exported to the U.S.
Land Rovers became available in other configurations: pickup truck, van, station wagon; and wearing special custom bodies. All along, Land Rovers have been used by the British Army, as well as by local fire departments. Of course, they've also carried plenty of visitors on jungle safaris and jungle tours.
That original Land Rover was clearly a practical workhorse with an unadorned appearance. To attract customers who weren't so enthralled by that picture, Land Rover introduced a far more upscale Range Rover model during 1970. Though the Range Rover was developed as a passenger car, not a truck, it could handle off-road treks nearly as well as the original Land Rover.
Borrowed from British Rover sedans, the Range Rover's initial V-8 engine was actually adapted from a General Motors design, which had powered compact models in the early 1960s. By 1987, Range Rovers were able to meet U.S. specifications, and could be sold in the American market.
Land Rover's limited-production Defender 110, offered only in 1993 and descended from the original, remains a favorite of hardcore four-wheel-driving enthusiasts. A different Defender, with a convertible body, continued into 1997.
A conventional midsize Discovery model emerged for 1994, going through two generations before it was replaced by an bigger, heavier LR3 in 2005. For 2002, Land Rover launched its first compact SUV, the Freelander, destined to serve for four seasons. Redesigned in 2003 for only the third time in 32 years, the already-posh Range Rover grew longer, taller, and narrower, and used a stiffer body with an integrated chassis. Supercharged engines have been available in the Range Rover since 2006, and in the smaller Range Rover Sport that appeared that year. Both Range Rovers were redesigned for 2010.
Meanwhile, a compact LR2 debuted for 2008, with standard all-wheel drive but no low-range gearing. Two years later an LR4 replaced the LR3, to serve as the seven-passenger model. Latest entrant is the Evoque, the smallest family member, introduced as a 2012 model with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive.
Riders in early Land Rover products might have complained about the ride, but modern-day versions are considerably more genteel, if no less capable. Stripped-down or plush, most Land Rover vehicles easily instill desire in sport-minded people to embark upon some off-road treks-though many owners never venture into any jungle other than the urban variety.

Konerko, Sox brass mum on revered vet's future with team
BY DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN Staff Reporter October 1, 2013 10:23PM
Chicago White Sox's Paul Konerko waves to fans after his team's 4-1 loss to the Kansas City Royals in a baseball game in Chicago, Sunday, Sept. 29, 2013. (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh)
Updated: November 3, 2013 6:25AM
This September a sound was heard at U.S. Cellular Field, and it was more chilling than the crisp Autumn air: boos for Paul Konerko.
It was one voice, it was brief — and isolated — and it probably had as much to do with the White Sox' awful season in general as the face of the franchise himself, but it wasn't pretty.
It was something nobody wants to hear. Konerko is revered and respected for all the right reasons, which we were reminded of when Sox fans, knowing it might have been his last game on Sunday, showered him with cheers and affection.
This past weekend was different than his previous possible sendoffs, because Konerko isn't the same 30-homer, 100-RBI player he was the last two times his Sox future was uncertain. What he has left in the tank is something he'll contemplate during the next few weeks as he decides whether he will play one more season.
Sox assistant general manager Buddy Bell knows from experience the decision is the toughest one Konerko, 37, will make. Bell, a five-time All-Star and six-time Gold Glove third baseman, hit .284 with 17 homers and 70 RBI for the Cincinnati Reds in 1987, his 16th season. In 1988 he dropped to seven homers and 40 RBI over 95 games with two teams.
At 37, Bell returned to the Texas Rangers as a free agent for the '89 season, but he had arthroscopic knee surgery in April of that year and his role as a utility infielder and designated hitter was limited. With a .183 average and no homers over 93 plate appearances, he called it quits on June 25.
"You still believe you can do it,'' Bell said. "I'm not speaking for Paul, but that's the problem all of us have. I shouldn't have played the last two years that I played. It's hard to walk away from if you feel there is a chance.''
Is there a chance for Konerko, who battled back issues while hitting .244 with 12 homers and 54 RBI in 126 games in 2013? He said productivity could extend beyond power numbers to mentoring young players. Sox business minds see value in the popular ''KONERKO'' across the back of the uniform of a team that might not be a whole lot better next season. Whether taking a roster spot impedes Sox progress is something for Konerko, general manager Rick Hahn and chairman Jerry Reinsdorf — who is as fond of Konerko as any player has been associated with — to figure out.
This past weekend, Konerko sounded like he wants to play another year. But he doesn't want a roster spot as a favor. He wants to feel like he's earned it.
"I'm not quite sure I can say that right now for next year,'' he said. "So that's a problem with me, that's a concern with me.
"If I'm back here, I want it to make sense.''
On the same day, Hahn said the only trades or free-agent signings that will make sense this offseason will be made with long-term, sustainable success in mind.
Is there room for Konerko in that approach? Would taking up a roster spot be better utilized by a younger, developing piece of the Sox future? Would it matter that much? Konerko, who has 434 homers, 1,390 RBI and a lifetime average of .281, said he wants in only if the Sox see a fit.
"We're going to let everyone get away for a few weeks and exhale,'' said Hahn, who wants to know where Konerko stands by the general managers meetings in early November, "and we'll sit down with Paulie face-to-face about what he wants and how he's feeling and what he hopes to accomplish next year, as well as what the team's going to look like and how he could potentially fit and what the plan would be going forward.
''I think he needs some time now himself, just to get away and think through his options as well.''
