Grant to fund LGBT-affirmative training for local therapists
Faculty members in NDSU's couple and family therapy program have received funding to increase the number of local therapists who are trained to provide affirmative therapy services to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender clients.
Tom Stone Carlson, Christi McGeorge and Kristen Benson received a $60,000 grant from the Otto Bremer Foundation to offer training to Fargo-Moorhead therapists and mental health agencies. The training will focus on how to provide supportive, affirmative services to LGBT clients and their families.
"An important part of NDSU's mission is community outreach," said Provost Bruce Rafert. "This project is a good example of collaboration between NDSU researchers and professionals in the community."
The grant also will fund the continued development of the LGBT Mental Health Alliance, a network of mental health professionals committed to providing affirmative services, and the creation of an online directory of LGBT affirmative therapists in the Fargo-Moorhead Area.
The community is invited to a kick-off event for the project on Friday, Feb. 8, from 3:30-4:30 p.m., at the Family Therapy Center, 1919 N. University Drive, Fargo.
Training sessions are scheduled for Friday, March 1, and Friday, April 12, from 1-4 p.m. Therapists who are interested should call Michelle Pearson at 701-231-8534.
NDSU's couple and family therapy program is nationally recognized as a leader in educating students to work effectively with a diverse clientele. The program won the prestigious Training Award from the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy in fall 2012.
NDSU is recognized as one of the nation's top 108 public and private universities by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education.

Will County's first Hispanic judge sworn in
BY JANET LUNDQUIST firstname.lastname@example.com August 14, 2013 10:04PM
David Carlson, of Plainfield, was sworn in as a Will County judge on Wednesday, Aug. 14, 2013 | Janet Lundquist~Sun-Times Media
Updated: September 17, 2013 8:01AM
Two new judges are to take the bench Thursday in Will County, including the county's first Hispanic judge.
David Garcia, 57, of Joliet, and David Carlson, 42, of Plainfield, were sworn in Wednesday by Chief Judge Richard Schoenstedt.
"These (circuit judges) are seeing what the Hispanic community, the Latino community needs, and have stepped up," Garcia said in a speech after he was sworn in.
The men were among 50 applicants, and were chosen from a list of four finalists in voting by the county's circuit judges.
The vacancies were created when Associate Judge Robert Baron retired and Will County added a judgeship because of its population growth.
Schoenstedt said Wednesday that Carlson will be a "floater" in various courtrooms, while Garcia will hear cases in the county's family division.
During the ceremony Wednesday, Carlson wore the robe his father, Cook County Judge Brent Carlson, wore when he was on the bench. Brent Carlson died in 1998 at age 52.
"My responsibility today is to fill his robe," said Carlson, a father of two girls, after he was sworn in.
Carlson has been a lawyer since 2001. He attended Northern Illinois University law school and is affiliated with the Carlson, Zelazo and O'Dekirk, LLC law firm in Joliet.
Carlson, a Republican, lost the race against incumbent State's Attorney Jim Glasgow, a Democrat, in the 2012 election.
Garcia said he grew up in Chicago's Humboldt Park community, what was dangerous at the time. He worked full time while attending IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law at night at age 34. Garcia became a lawyer in 1995 and has worked in private practice in Joliet handling a variety of cases, including criminal, real estate, divorce and traffic.
"This is what I wanted to do since I was a little kid," Garcia said of becoming a lawyer. He views becoming a judge as the next step up the ladder of his career.
On Wednesday, he thanked the judges for choosing him, and also thanked his family, friends and colleagues.
"(The circuit judges) sent a message to the Latino community that told them they are not going to be ignored. They are going to be represented, and there's going to be justice at this courthouse," Garcia said.

Schachter has not returned multiple calls and emails for comment since December, including attempts to seek an explanation for his recent remarks. Finkelstein and Gordon have both denied the students' allegations against them. Rabbi Norman Lamm, who was president of Yeshiva University until 2003, told the Forward in December that several staff members were allowed to leave quietly because of "improper sexual activity.".
Schachter told the New York Times, in December, that in addition to Finkelstein and Gordon he knew of another staff member who had been let go for similar reasons. He has never revealed the name of that member of staff.
According to Failed Messiah, Schachter was recorded in February, speaking at a rabbinic conference in London, the same month that the U.K.'s United Synagogue held its annual retreat in the city. Two independent sources have confirmed to the Forward that the voice on the tape is, indeed, Schachter's.
Schachter told his audience that reporting abuse to the police or family service agency does not constitute mesirah — the traditional Jewish prohibition against informing on a fellow Jew to the secular authorities.
But Schachter emphasized that Jewish communities nevertheless had to first make sure children were telling the truth before going to law enforcement authorities. He cited several instances in America and in Israel in which he said false accusations were made.
Every community, said Schachter, needs a board of "talmidei chachamim" — Torah scholars — who are also qualified psychologists who could interview victims to see if there is "raglayim la'davar" — or reasonable suspicion — of abuse.
He added: "Before you go to the police and before you got to family services, every community should have a board…to investigate whether there's any raglayim la'davar or not."
The Jewish Daily Forward welcomes reader comments in order to promote thoughtful discussion on issues of importance to the Jewish community. In the interest of maintaining a civil forum, The Jewish Daily Forwardrequires that all commenters be appropriately respectful toward our writers, other commenters and the subjects of the articles.

Performing Arts plays an important part of both class time and extra curricular time a Gad's.
As early as Kindergarten, children have the opportunity to perform on the stage. Junior and Senior School children stage termly productions ranging from the Harvest festival, Christmas Carol Service at Rochester Cathedral, Spring Music Concert to an annual school production.
Many of the school productions take place in our school hall which is equipped with the appropriate staging, lighting and sound equipment. We also make use of the facilities at the Historic Dockyard Church in Chatham for any large scale productions and for the first time next year (2012) we will be using The Woodville Halls, Gravesend.
Junior students enjoy weekly drama lessons teaching the skills of voice work, performance skills, costume, stage management, production and some interpretation of script. In Year 10, pupils may opt to take a BTEC first in drama and public services, the equivalent of four GSCEs.
Dance at Gad's takes place mainly after school; all students have the chance to enjoy a range of dance techniques classes from Ballet to Contemporary Dance and choreography.
Pupils who have a particular passion for drama or dance are often called upon to perform at the school's many public engagements, which only adds to their performance ability.

I have big boobs. Whereas some women would kill to have the knockers I have, I've never been a huge fan of them. I mean, yes, it's a pretty impressive rack, but at the price of back pain and the inability to get a dress to fit me properly, I'd prefer them to be smaller. I think I'd be happy with a nice B-cup, which is a small cry from the Double-D situation I have at the moment.
Not too surprisingly, my boobs have always been a favorite physical asset of the men I've dated. They've loved my brain, I think, and I've always been complimented on my sick sense of humor and my eyes, but when it came to my boobs, well, they've always won major points with the guys in my life, both straight and gay. In addition to being an ideal place for the men I've been intimate with to put their hands or rest their head, my boobs have provided other, more exciting experiences. What could be more exciting than a breast for a pillow, you ask? Keep reading »

|Château de Cesseras (France) Minervois La Liviničre 2001
Wine-pages columnist Rosemary George MW wrote very enthusiastically about the brand new "cru" of Minervois La Liviničre in April 2003 (click here), and since then I have tasted about a half dozen examples, with a phenomenal hit-rate of excellent wines amongst them: I believe this is the fifth to be "Wine of the Week" or "Wine of the Month". This 100% Syrah wine was a stand-out smash at Berry's recent Press tasting (I was not the only person to think so - look out for a string of recommendations in the Sunday columns). It has minty, sweet, bold, leathery fruit on the nose, backed-up by toasty oak and a lovely core of blackcurrant and damson plum. Concentrated and dense on the palate, it is rich, smooth and dark, with a svelte, polished appeal, lots of sweet chocolate-coated black fruit and a fine plummy depth. Tannins are fine and ripe, and the balance is excellent. Berry Bros. & Rudd, Ł9.55.

Inflammation is a common underlying feature of numerous diseases, including arthritis, Type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Recently there has been a significant escalation in inflammation-related conditions associated with the rise in obesity in developed countries.
These conditions include gouty arthritis, Type II diabetes, and cardiovascular disease - commonly grouped under the term 'metabolic syndrome'.
A common feature of metabolic syndrome is high levels of uric acid in the blood (hyperuricaemia).
Dr Jacquie Harper's Arthritis and Inflammation Research Group is investigating the differential effects of the crystalline and soluble forms of uric acid on human and murine immune cell function.
The knowledge from which will help expand our understanding of the multifaceted role played by uric acid in the regulation of inflammation in disease.
Hyperuricaemia (high levels of uric acid in the blood) is regarded as a primary risk factor for gout, an intensely painful form of arthritis affecting many New Zealanders. A gout attack is triggered when uric acid crystallises in the joints, causing rapid and painful joint inflammation. Previous research from Dr Harper's team, collaborating with Wellington Rheumatologists Professor Andrew Harrison and Dr Rebecca Grainger, showed that hyperuricaemia may moderate the immune responses to inflammatory stimuli. Dr Harper is now examining this phenomenon more closely in a follow-up clinical study involving gout patients, in collaboration with Christchurch Rheumatologist Associate Professor Lisa Stamp and Professor Tony Kettle.
Hyperuricaemia is also observed in obesity. Research to date has focused on the inflammatory environment in adipose tissue and there is little information available on how diet-driven obesity affects other immune cell populations. To address this question, Dr Harper and colleagues are collaborating with Auckland Rheumatologist Associate Professor Nicola Dalbeth, to investigate how hyperuricaemia alters the inflammatory immune responses of obese and non-obese mice.
In other research, Dr Harper and colleagues are working with Dr Roger Hurst from Plant & Food Research to explore the feasibility of utilising the natural anti-inflammatory properties of New Zealand fruit crops to treat lung inflammation. Their basic research results have shown such great promise that candidate fruit extracts are now being trialled in asthma patients, in collaboration with Professor Richard Beasley from the Medical Research Institute of New Zealand.
Collectively these studies are providing important insights into new potential therapeutic options for the improved management of inflammatory diseases.

Iraq made commitments after the Gulf War to completely dismantle all weapons of mass destruction, and unfortunately, Iraq has not lived up to its agreement.Barbara Levy Boxer

Meetings are a great trap. Soon you find yourself trying to get agreement and then the people who disagree come to think they have a right to be persuaded. However, they are indispensable when you don't want to do anything.Galbraith
Among the words that can be all things to all men, the word "race" has a fair claim to being the most common, most ambiguous and most explosive. No one today would deny that it is one of the great catchwords about which ink and blood are spilled in reckless quantities. Yet no agreement seems to exist about what race means.Jacques Barzun
Peace is never long preserved by weight of metal or by an armament race. Peace can be made tranquil and secure only by understanding and agreement fortified by sanctions. We must embrace international cooperation or international disintegration. Science has taught us how to put the atom to work. But to make it work for good instead of for evil lies in the domain dealing with the principles of human dignity. We are now facing a problem more of ethics than of physics.Bernard Mannes Baruch
...The ultimate test of this agreement will be a test of blood... If it becomes clear that they [the Palestinians] cannot overcome terror, this will be temporary accord and... we will have no choice but to abrogate it... And if there is no choice, the IDF willreturn to the places it is about to leave in the upcoming months.Yossef ("Yossi") Beilin

Michele Pernetta was the first teacher to bring Bikram 'hot' yoga to the UK. She now has four schools across London, the most recent of which opened in Primrose Hill in 2011. All teachers have trained under the technique's founder, Bikram Choudhury, at his LA school.
NY Pilates Studio43-47 Lonsdale Rd, London, NW6 6RA
Daphne Pena-Higgs' studio follows the teachings of Joseph Pilates as espoused by Romana Kryzanowska's New York studio. The studio offers the full repertoire of Gratz equipment built to the specifications of the man himself.
Sunstone16 Northwold Rd, London, N16 7HR
Set in a former church, this stunning women-only gym is well equipped with a pool, sauna, steam room and a gym spread out over three floors. Cardiovascular equipment and resistance machines are tucked in under the roof's arches and a large studio space in the centre offering everything from zumba and capoeira to spinning classes. The club also has a small lounge area-cum-café at reception, crèche and children's activities, and two treatment rooms offering beauty maintenance and complementary therapies. The attentive and friendly staff will devise a specific training programme for each new member.
The Special Yoga Centre2a Wrentham Avenue, London, NW10 3HA
Alongside classes for adults, this centre operates as a charity providing yoga therapy for children with special needs. This can have a hugely positive effect on respiratory patterning, physiology and muscle tension among other things. The centre offers a wide range of classes including hatha, dynamic flow, Iyengar, Ashtanga, therapeutic, gentle and pregnancy yoga plus the widest range of classes for children in London.
APPI Health Group2b Heath Hurst Road, London, NW3 2RX
At this centre, as in Australia, Pilates is taught mainly as a rehabilitative technique rather than a form of exercise – an approach embraced by the specialists here. There are also branches in Kilburn and Wimbledon.
Yogahome11 Allen Road, London, N16 8SB
Small enough to be friendly and approachable but with a good sense of space, Yogahome has a wide range of yoga styles to choose from, with nearly 20 teachers covering ashtanga, Iyengar, yoga for relaxation, hatha fusion, vinyasa flow and pregnancy yoga.
Soho Gym193-199 Camden High Street, London, NW1 7BT
Overlooking Camden Town tube, this branch of Soho Gym takes an upbeat approach to working out with in-gym DJs, a cool blue-and-silver interior and an energetic vibe. As well as all the usual gym equipment in the main workout space, there's a bright studio towards the back with more sedate tai chi, yoga and Pilates plus Thai kick-boxing. There are saunas for men and women. There are also branches in Borough, Clapham, Earls Court, Covent Garden and Waterloo.
Kieser TrainingHampstead Road, London, NW1 7DF
This is a serious place to undertake strength training – particularly in relation to the back. Research has shown that 80 per cent of back problems are the result of weak muscles, and that targeted strength training can help prevent problems altogether. It can also be helpful for people with existing ailments; with the extensive range of weights machines, as well as the high-tech medical area, the centre seeks to sort out musculoskeletal problems. Helpful staff debunk common exercise myths while assisting on the variable resistance machines. On joining, you receive a free medical evaluation and personal training session.

Ms. World XXX aims to become a beauty pageant that is open for every woman who wants a fair shot at being a contestant of a beauty pageant. This is the avenue for every woman all over the world to show how much they deserve the chance to be a beauty title holder. Ms. World XXX also aims to give due exposure and price to the woman who deserves the title.
Ms. World XXX is very much different from other traditional beauty contest. Ms. World XXX is an online based contest where everyone who is qualified to join gets the exposure they deserve. Unlike other contests, Ms. World XXX will run for a longer period of time. This is also the first ever online reality beauty contest that will open forums for fans, critics and contestants to interact. The fate of each contestant lies on the votes coming from site visitors because they get to judge who gets the title.
Ms. World XXX is also the boldest beauty pageant in the net. Here, we practice freedom of the contestants to present themselves however they want. There is no basis for any criteria; the only thing the contestants need to prove is that they are real persons (meaning they are not stealing someone else's identity)
All you have to do is fill up the registration form and wait for approval of the webmaster; you will automatically become a member. Simply log in to view all galleries and vote for your favorite candidates.
All you need is to accomplish the membership form, be sure that you have a legitimate e-mail address and you are 18 years old and above.
Definitely Not! As we've mentioned, Miss World XXX does not have a membership fee.
The best way to support them is to cast your vote and join the forums. There are added points for your favorite contestants if you buy any of the Miss World XXX items that are listed on the merchandise page of the site. If you browse through the site, you would know that part of the income for every item that you buy will be placed on the prize pot.
Yes you can. Contestants are not employed to Ms. World XXX and just like you they are in front of their own computers in different corners of the world. You can chat with them through the forums, you can send gifts to them by purchasing from our merchandise, and you can even send them donations. You have the option if you want other people to see who you are sending gifts to. A thread in the forum will be made to show the latest gifts that are being sent by the members to the contestants.
We would highly appreciate it if you report people who are not behaving too well on the site; we strongly suggest that you do. Rest assured, the staff would do all the necessary measures to keep them out so we can maintain a peaceful community J
Yes, if a member is being offensive against fellow members and/or contestants, there is always a possibility that he/she loses his membership to the site. How can it be offensive? If a member/contestant reports you, we will review your posts within the site and automatically forfeit your membership. Stealing contents from the site is also grounds for forfeiture, not to mention there are legal consequences for this kind of action. Asking for contact details of contestants is also not allowed. As we have mentioned, we have utter respect for people's privacy and we will appreciate it if you do the same.
Yes you can, but if you went back and continue having unruly behavior, Miss World XXX will have to delete your account all over again.
We request all the members to use the forums as an avenue for discussing different things like the contest, politics or whatever you feel like discussing. But please bring your personal ads to EBay or Craig's List.
Of course, feel free to e-mail us and send us your feedbacks through firstname.lastname@example.com
You just have to complete the requirements that we are asking for and complete the form.
Unlike traditional beauty pageants, the pool of judges is site visitors. To be eligible to be a judge, you just need to sign up and register your e-mail address. Then you are good to vote. Just take note that there is such thing as an IP detector so, repeated votes won't be honored.
Purchasing an item from our merchandise page can also entitle you to a bigger number of votes per item that you purchase.
Wait for the updates regarding eliminations and the final round to be announced February of 2009.
Well we'd say the best price is the prestige and the opportunity to become a beauty title holder thus, exposing the winner to a golden privilege from our sponsors. But it all boils down to the cash price, right. At the top of the home page, there is a pot meter that will display daily increase of the cash price. The pot will start at $5000.00 dollars. With every purchase that a visitor will make, a percentage of the amount of each sale will go to the pot! So we may never know how high the stakes could get!
We encourage each contestant to send over their pictures and videos so that we can display it in their galleries. We do not allow pictures or videos that expose their female organ, nor do materials that explicitly show sexual contact. Each contestant has their chance of sending over as much materials as they want. Each will be screened by Ms. World XXX staff before being broadcasted on the site.
We want the pageant to be legitimate all the way; that is why we screen the contestants by requiring them to show a scanned ID as proof that they are in the proper age to compete. Ms. World XXX pageant is in compliance with the 18 U.S.C. 2557 record statement and we appreciate it if people who would attempt to join the contest respects the laws just as much as Ms. World XXX does. We also do not tolerate people who steal the identity of another person. Anyone who does so will automatically be withdrawn from the contest without prior notice. We also advice anyone -contestants, members or visitors- to contact our webmaster in case they need anything clarified.
Everyone who passes the screening will be allowed to join the pageant.
All you have to do is to contact the webmaster for request of withdrawal. We will review your reasons for withdrawing from the contest and your profile will be removed. Your withdrawal will be announced through the updates in the site. Please be reminded that we are not lenient in letting people withdraw from the contest so please make sure about your decision upon entering the contest.
Definitely! In this contest, you have to interact with members for higher chances of getting bigger votes. You may interact with them through the forum in the site. You may even receive gift from them from the merchandises. We respect your privacy so we will be the one to send the gifts to you through the address that you will provide. We strongly advice all the contestants not to give out personal information such as IM names, address and contact number.
It will be sent to you through your bank account or other money transferring firms like e-passporte
We will send you an e-mail of the online receipt that is given to the sender in every transaction, whether it is a donation or a merchandise purchase. There will also be a thread online that will announce all the transactions between members and contestants. It is upon the discretion of the member though if he wants the donation to be discreet or not. The moment they send a donation or gift (merchandise), points will automatically be added to you and the pot meter will automatically increase.
There will be a list in the merchandise page as to see how many points per purchase.
Unlike typical pageants where only one person is allowed to represent a country, Miss World XXX will allow any number of representatives per country for the final round given that the members have voted for them as the top picks.
You can submit any kind of pictures and videos you want, there's no maximum number. But there are certain rules on what kind of pictures that you will submit. Please refer to the rules and regulations for the images or videos that are not allowed to be published.
It would be preferable if you submit your entries ASAP so we can prepare your gallery for you. The deadline will be announced in the site updates a month before we close the submission of entries. Once the submission is closed, we will open the site for members to cast their votes.

Many New Yorkers hit hard by Sandy are sounding off on the Federal Emergency Management Agency's response in the wake of the superstorm Sandy, but FEMA officials say they are continuing to provide relief to impacted areas. NY1's Susan Jhun filed the following NY1 For You report.
From displaced residents unable to use their FEMA vouchers to those who say they have not seen the federal agency's presence in their neighborhood, criticisms are growing louder.
"I haven't seen FEMA here at all I've seen signs that say 'FEMA please help us,'" says a New Yorker in a storm-damaged area of the city.
Despite negative reviews, FEMA officials say they are working around the clock and pumping resources into the region to ensure every New Yorker needing aid is reached. "We're well over $340 million that has been distributed to the citizens, to the survivors of the impacted areas. We have over 175,000 families, households that have registered," says Michael Bryne, a federal coordinating officer for FEMA. Confusion as to what FEMA will cover has left many storm victims frustrated. Programs to reimburse cost of living to displaced residents, for repairs to damaged homes and for rental assistance are being rolled out. "We have a program called 'Transitional Shelter Assistance Program,' where we work with hotels that have registered to be part of the program and what we'll do is put people in the hotel, we pay the hotel directly so they have a place to stay that's safe and secure," says Bryne. "The other thing that we do that's really critical is we provide rental assistance, up to 18 months of rental assistance, if you can't get into your home." FEMA says it is doing more by increasing its workforce, with more crews in the field and opening more Disaster Recovery Centers (DRCs) in devastated areas. "With New Yorkers, fortunately there haven't been a lot of disasters like this, so it's a new experience for them. We're sensitive to that," says Bryne. While there is no timeline for how long its recovery efforts will last, FEMA says it will reassess how much more is needed as the cost and extent of damage becomes clearer.
For now, FEMA officials advise all those affected to first call 1-800-621-3362 or apply for assistance at www.disasterassistance.gov.

Acts 2:41-42, Pentecost
"Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." (Acts 2:41-42).
Pentecost is a term meaning fiftieth, which was applied to the fiftieth day after the Passover. It was the culmination of the "feast of weeks" (Ex. 24:22; Deut. 16:10), which began on the third day after the Passover with the presentation of the first harvest sheaves to God and which concluded with the offering of two loaves of unleavened bread--representing the first products of the harvest (Lev. 23:17, 20; Deut. 16:9-10).
- When Jesus ascended into heaven He instructed his disciples to remain in Jerusalem until they should receive power from on high. As a group of 120 were praying in an upper room in Jerusalem fifty days after his death, the Holy Spirit descended upon them with the sound of a great wind and with tongues of fire which settled upon each one of them. They began to speak with other languages and to preach boldly in the name of Christ, with the result that three thousand were converted. In rebuttal to criticism by devout Jews, Peter stood up and, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, gave a wonderful sermon. After the sermon Luke wrote in verses 41 and 42. Then read Acts 2:41-42
- This incredible manifestation of divine power marked the beginning of the church which has ever since regarded Pentecost as its birthday.
- Pentecost, then, is the anniversary of the coming of the Holy Spirit.
- This day was not the beginning of a denomination. It was the beginning of the one church: The One True Church.
- The Church that is bought with the blood of Christ.
- The Church that is united by the indwelling Spirit.
- The Church that is taught with the inspired Word.
- The world did not know what happened at Pentecost.
- The world did not know that God had come to live with His people forever.
- Holy Spirit before the conversion
- Phrase "Holy Spirit" occurs 90 times in the NT and 3 in the OT.
- The phrase occurs 41 times in Acts
- Acts 1:1-2, "The first account I composed, Theophilus, about all that Jesus began to do and teach, 2 until the day when He was taken up, after He had by the Holy Spirit given orders to the apostles whom He had chosen."
- Acts 1:5, "for John baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
- Acts 1:8, "but you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth."
- Acts 1:16, "Brethren, the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit foretold by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus."
- Acts 2:4, "And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance."
- Acts 2:33, "Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured forth this which you both see and hear."
- Acts 2:38, "And Peter said to them, "Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
- Praying before the conversion
- "Pray," "Praying," "Prayed" occurs 29 times in Acts.
- Acts 1:14, "These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers."
- Acts 1:24-26, "And they prayed, and said, "Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which one of these two Thou hast chosen 25 to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place." 26 And they drew lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles."
- Acts 2:41: "Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day" (NIV).
- "So then, those who had received his word . . . "
- Three thousand who had come for the feast.
- Three thousand who had not known Jesus.
- 3,000 sinners who were changed by God's word, by the preaching of the truth, and by the work of the Holy Spirit.
- No matter where you are, in or out of Christ, the Holy Spirit can touch your heart.
- What was this message (NASB 'word') of Peter that they accepted (v. 41)?
- It was a message of conviction (v. 22).
- Acts 2:22: "Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. (NIV)
- Do you have this belief about Jesus?
- Acts 2:22: "Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. (NIV)
- It was a message of the cross (v. 23).
- Acts 2:23: A This man was handed over to you by God's set purpose and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross" (NIV).
- It was a message of the resurrection (v. 24).
- Acts 2:24: A But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him. (NIV)
- It was the gospel!
- It is interesting to note that when the gospel was given, 3000 were saved.
- In Exodus 32 when Moses returned from the mountain of God to the people of Israel who had made the golden calf, he threw down the tablets of the ten commandments. 3000 died.
- When the law was given, 3000 perished; when the gospel was given, 3000 were saved.
- It was a message of conviction (v. 22).
- All real conversion is the work of the Holy Spirit.
- The case of Nicodemus (John 3:1-8).
- In John 3:5, Jesus tells Nicodemus that . . . no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit" (NIV).
- The testimony of Paul to Titus (Titus 3:5).
- Titus 3:5 says, "He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit," (NIV)
- True conversion is the work of the Holy Spirit. But the Holy Spirit does not stop there. He continues to work in your life.
- The case of Nicodemus (John 3:1-8).
- In verse 41 it says they were baptized.
- Salvation takes place in the heart, but you confess Him publicly.
- Baptism is a public witness, a public identification with Christ.
- Even Jesus made a public confession of faith when He was baptized.
- Think of the hostile atmosphere at that time.
- The corrupt Pharisees were the spiritual leaders.
- The harsh Roman Government was the political leader.
- The Holy Spirit will move you also to this act of obedience . . . and other acts of obedience.
- Standing for Jesus
- Being a witness for Him.
- Remaining morally pure.
- The Holy Spirit gives public expression to the Gospel through you.
- (Incidentally, why was Jesus baptized into John's baptism which was a baptism of repentance. Jesus was sinless, so why did He need John's baptism? Some say it was to identify with the believer. This is true, but more importantly, Jesus was entering into the ministry at this time by becoming a priest after the order of Melchizedek. According to Leviticus 8 and Exodus 29, a priest had to be anointed with oil, washed, and received a blessing. All three were there for Jesus. He was entering into the High Priesthood in order to be a sacrifice to God for the sins of the world).
- Acts 2:42: "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." (NIV)
- "They devoted themselves . . . "
- To the teaching of the word--which is anointed by the Holy Spirit.
- To fellowship with one another--which is sharing in the Holy Spirit.
- To the breaking of bread or communion--which is the partaking of Christ's body through the experience of the Holy Spirit.
- To prayer--which is guided by the Holy Spirit.
- In these, as you hear the word, as you fellowship, as you break bread, and as you pray, the Holy Spirit leads you to higher ground. He leads you to the Rock that is higher than you. He lead you to holiness, to fellowship, and to communion. He leads you to Jesus.
- Conclusion
- Pentecost is about the birth of the church. It is also about the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit in you. You are indwelt by the Holy Spirit.
- How will you continue to respond to His indwelling--to His ministry?
- Will you stand for Jesus in public and in private?
- Will you grow in grace the grace of Christ by trusting the Holy Spirit to warm your heart, illumine your mind, bring you to fellowship with Christ?
- To trust God is to trust His work in you through the Holy Spirit.
- To trust the work of the Holy Spirit is to acknowledge and accept the blessings of the cross of Christ.
- It is to continue to grow in Christ's church.
- It is to continue to grow in grace.
- It is to recapture Pentecost.

God's generosity in providing us with work for His kingdom
Sometimes work can feel like a burden, but it's beneficial because it provides for our daily needs. In the same way, it may feel like a burden to work for Christ. But when we're obedient, God faithfully and graciously provides for us in return.Read More »

Sunday, December 28, 2014
Follow us:
In the wake of its devastation, Hurricane Sandy leaves New York with difficult questions about how it could prevent similar destruction in another storm. The Netherlands is familiar with the risks of flooding. It has implemented a wide array of measures – some big, some small – to prevent another disaster that badly decimated that country in 1953. With an eye toward how New York will prepare for the next Sandy, Josh Robin of NY1 News and Juan Manuel Benitez of NY1 Noticias traveled to the Netherlands in January to produce the special TV series, "Fighting the Tide." Robin also wrote this web-exclusive report about his trip.
The last day in the Netherlands was in Amsterdam and our breakfast thankfully wasn't a mad gobble of the buffet. We met up with my friend Kay Van De Linde, a well-known Dutch political consultant. He's credited – or faulted – with importing aggressive American style marketing into the genteel world of European public affairs. He learned our ways from nearly two decades in New York, at the foot of David Garth, the legendary political maven behind the elections of Ed Koch, Rudy Giuliani and Mike Bloomberg.
For several hours, we shot our promos and "stand-ups" – those parts of television stories where you actually see the reporter. Boats were chugging in the near-freezing canals. An Amsterdam mayoral spokesman stopped by and gave us the latest news: the Amsterdam canals were about to be shut to all boat traffic. That would allow the water to freeze, and pave the path for ice-skating. It was front-page news the next day, when Juan and I left for New York.
I had spent a lot of time reporting from the ground during and after Sandy. But my flight home was the first time I saw the destruction from the air. A lot had been cleaned up by mid-January; but the devastation was still apparent. The sand from Long Island's south shore piled far north of the beach. There were gaps in the boardwalks. In places, wood boards were scattered in the marshlands of Jamaica Bay.
I wondered what would come next in the city. How would the billions be spent? Would we see well-maintained sea walls in Oakwood on Staten Island and elsewhere? Inflatable barriers in subway tunnels? The return of marshland to the Battery that would be familiar to Henry Hudson? At the very least, would we realize that our home city is no longer the same? We started to descend into JFK. The olive-colored water below me looked placid. From the air, you could barely see the foamy white caps of the waves.

Cre8txt cellphone-style text input device for PC is the first sign of the apocalypse
Pack your bags because the apocalypse is coming. This is apparent by the creation of the Cre8txt. Kids nowadays that would rather rock out T9 text messaging rather than using a full QWERTY keyboard can now do so anywhere, on any device. Cre8txt is a device that can plug into a PC and provide a different (and preferred, for some
people kids) way to input text.
The picture would infer that it is simply a conceptual device and there is hope for the world after all, but alas, it is not a conceptual design and it is actually available from the companies website for $105. It still boggles my mind; seriously, are kids so text message inclined to want the same kind of text input on a PC?

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Prosecutors can examine Rush Limbaugh's medical records to determine whether he should be charged with "doctor shopping" for prescription painkillers, a judge ruled Tuesday.
Palm Beach Circuit Judge Jeffrey A. Winikoff denied the conservative commentator's request to keep the records sealed, but did say prosecutors cannot make the records public. Limbaugh's attorney promised a prompt appeal.
The judge said the state has a "compelling" interest in determining whether Limbaugh broke the law, trumping his right to keep his medical records private.
Palm Beach County prosecutors insisted they need to review the records to determine how much Limbaugh's doctors knew about his frequent prescriptions for OxyContin, hydrocodone and other painkillers and whether he was "doctor shopping." That refers to looking for a doctor willing to prescribe drugs illegally, or getting prescriptions for a single drug from more than one doctor at the same time.
But Limbaugh's attorneys had argued that the seizure of the records from doctors in Florida and California violated the radio host's privacy. Investigators obtained the records last month after discovering that Limbaugh received more than 2,000 painkillers, prescribed by four doctors, at a pharmacy near his $24 million Palm Beach mansion.
The Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office began investigating Limbaugh last year, after his former maid told them she had been supplying him prescription painkillers for years.
Limbaugh recently admitted his addiction, stemming from severe back pain, and took a five-week leave from his afternoon radio show to enter a rehabilitation program.
Roy Black, Limbaugh's lawyer, said he would appeal by the end of the day.
"Mr. Limbaugh was not doctor shopping and he should not have to sacrifice his privacy to prove his innocence," Black said in a statement.
Black has accused the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office of attempting to damage Limbaugh's credibility and going after him for political reasons.
But State Attorney Barry Krischer, a Democrat, said in a statement Tuesday that Limbaugh's rights have been protected. He noted the judge's comment that prosecutors have "acted in good faith."
During a Monday court hearing, Black said his client suffered from a degenerative disc disease with "pain so great at one point doctors thought he had bone cancer," and that Limbaugh chose to take addictive painkillers rather than have surgery.
Surgery would have meant doctors would have gone through Limbaugh's throat to operate on his spine, which could threaten his career as a commentator, Black said.
Limbaugh's former maid, Wilma Cline, learned of his addiction and threatened to sell the story to The National Enquirer, Black said. She and her husband, David Cline, demanded millions and were "paid substantial amounts of money," the lawyer said.
Limbaugh allegedly withdrew cash 30 to 40 times at amounts just under the $10,000 limit that requires a bank to report the transaction to the federal government.
The action drew suspicion because it can be a federal crime to structure financial transactions below the $10,000 limit.
Black said Limbaugh paid money to the Clines because they were blackmailing him - not because he was laundering money.
Ed Shohat, the attorney for the Clines, denied Black's allegation.
"Rush Limbaugh confessed and admitted that he bought the pills. ... I know of no facts that my clients demanded money from Rush Limbaugh in any way," he said.

STATE OF FLORIDA et al v. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES et al
Filing 43
MOTION to Extend Time to Respond to Amended Complaint by TIMOTHY F GEITHNER, KATHLEEN SEBELIUS, HILDA L SOLIS, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY. (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit A - Transcript of Sched. Hrg. (Apr. 14, 2010), # 2 Proposed Order) (BECKENHAUER, ERIC) Modified on 5/26/2010 - transcript access restricted pursuant to privacy policies during the redaction review period, see 44 for official transcript (tdg).
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA STATE OF FLORIDA, by and through BILL McCOLLUM, et al., ) ) ) Plaintiffs, ) ) v. ) ) UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT ) OF HEALTH AND HUMAN ) SERVICES, et al., ) ) Defendants. ) ____________________________________) Civil Action No. 3:10-cv-00091-RV-EMT MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO AMENDED COMPLAINT Defendants, the United States Department of Health and Human Services, et al., through undersigned counsel, hereby move the Court for a 30-day extension of time to respond to Plaintiffs' amended complaint, which significantly broadens this litigation by adding two new categories of plaintiffs -- individuals and an association of small businesses -- and three new substantive claims. In support of this motion, Defendants state as follows: 1. During the scheduling conference held on April 14, 2010, the parties agreed upon, and the Court later entered, the following briefing schedule: May 14, 2010 June 16, 2010 Aug. 6, 2010 Aug. 27, 2010 Sept. 14, 2010 Plaintiffs' amended complaint due Defendants' motion to dismiss due Plaintiffs' opposition to Defendants' motion to dismiss due Defendants' reply due Oral argument on Defendants' motion to dismiss Final Sched. Order 2 (Apr. 14, 2010) [Doc. No. 26]. That schedule afforded Plaintiffs approximately 30 days to amend their complaint, and Defendants about 30 days to respond. 2. Defendants assented to this schedule on the understanding, based on the representations of Plaintiffs' counsel, that the amendments to the complaint would not be substantial, and would not significantly expand or revise the original complaint -- namely, that additional states would join as plaintiffs, and that any modifications to the existing claims would primarily respond to any relevant changes effected by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 ("Reconciliation Act"), Pub L. No. 111-152, 124 Stat. 1029 (2010), which was enacted after the original complaint was filed. See Sched. Hrg. Tr. 10:8-15 (Apr. 14, 2010) [annexed as Ex. A] ("[W]e indicated, by the way, to the Department of Justice attorneys that we would be amending this complaint of ours. We have a need to do that not only because we have several other parties coming in, several states that are going to be joining, but in addition to that, of course, we had reconciliation legislation that was passed that has modified the terms of the Act itself, and the Act, of course, as Your Honor knows, is quite lengthy."). 3. example: # The amended complaint does not merely add states as plaintiffs. Instead, it adds two individual plaintiffs, as well as a national business association. The addition of these private plaintiffs raises distinct issues with respect to the Act's alleged effect on these groups, including whether, as a threshold jurisdictional matter, they have standing to sue. It is also at odds with the Court's recognition that the joinder of "all those who have an opinion and an interest in the outcome of the case" will make its speedy resolution "exponentially more difficult." Order 4-5 2 The amended complaint, however, is not consistent with this understanding. For (Apr. 8, 2010) [Doc. No. 18]. # # The original complaint raised three claims. The amended complaint raises six. Of the three new claims, two had no precursor whatsoever in the original complaint. Count Two now alleges that the Act deprives Plaintiffs of an asserted right to be free of "federal governmental compulsion." Am. Compl. ¶ 78. Count Six alleges that the Act interferes with the rights of states as employers. Id. ¶ 90. Neither of these claims hinges on any changes effected by the Reconciliation Act. # The claims that emerged from those advanced in the original complaint reflect substantial changes. For example, Plaintiffs no longer allege that the Act mandates state participation in health benefit exchanges, but rather that the states object to the regulatory consequences if they elect not to participate. # The United States is responding to numerous lawsuits across the country challenging the Act. While some of the legal issues raised by these cases overlap, each raises distinct threshold issues that require independent assessment. Moreover, many of the issues framed in the amended complaint are unique to this case. Thus, the burden of responding in these other cases does not alleviate the burdens posed by this case. 4. In accordance with Local Rule 7.1(B), counsel for Defendants conferred with counsel for Plaintiffs to request their consent to a 30-day extension. Plaintiffs offered only one week -- provided that Defendants' time to reply would be reduced by 5 days, and that the date of oral argument would remain unchanged -- citing the "exigent circumstances" presented by this case. The key provisions at issue in this suit, however, do not take effect until 2014. Under the schedule proposed in this motion, briefing would be completed in late September, years 3 before the effective date of these provisions. Moreover, at the April 14 scheduling hearing, Plaintiffs proposed a schedule that included an additional round of summary judgment briefing lasting well into November 2010, a schedule they then described as "fairly aggressive and efficient." See Sched. Hrg. Tr. 13:9 (Apr. 14, 2010). Thus, a 30-day extension will not prejudice Plaintiffs or unduly delay proceedings. 5. In view of Plaintiffs' substantial amendments to the original complaint, and to afford sufficient time for Defendants to review the new allegations and prepare a considered response on issues that have nationwide significance, there is good cause to extend Defendants' deadline to respond to Plaintiffs' amended complaint. WHEREFORE, Defendants respectfully request that they be granted a 30-day extension of time to respond to Plaintiffs' amended complaint, and that the subsequent briefing deadlines be adjusted accordingly. A proposed order is attached. Dated: May 25, 2010 Respectfully submitted, TONY WEST Assistant Attorney General IAN HEATH GERSHENGORN Deputy Assistant Attorney General THOMAS F. KIRWIN United States Attorney SHEILA LIEBER Deputy Director /s/ Eric Beckenhauer BRIAN KENNEDY Senior Trial Counsel ERIC B. BECKENHAUER, Cal.

Plaintiffs oppose the relief requested herein. Plaintiffs would consent, however, to a 7-day extension of Defendants' deadline to respond to Plaintiffs' amended complaint, provided that Defendants' time to reply were reduced by 5 days, and that the date of oral argument were unchanged. /s/ Eric Beckenhauer ERIC B. BECKENHAUER Trial Attorney U.S. Department of Justice 5 CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE I hereby certify that on May 25, 2010, the foregoing document was filed with the Clerk of Court via the CM/ECF system, causing it to be served on Plaintiffs' counsel of record. /s/ Eric B.

Good morning ladies, how are you today? I hope everyone had a nice weekend.
|Mon, 11-05-2012 - 9:57am
Good morning ladies. Quiet day here as far as I know. Got both little ones up and to school this morning, roast in the crock pot and that's about it. I have a few errands to run at lunch time, and a chiropractor appt. after work. Tonight I have a bit of laundry to finish up and some paperwork to do.
Have a great day!

Hey guys- it's Cheryl. I changed my screenname a couple of days ago. Saturday Cox came out and changed our ISP, so our landline is going to dissapear, and with it the verizon acct I've had for years. So instead of trying to figure out how to change email addy's on IV- I just went ahead and changed everything. Much simpter.
Getting the car looked at this morning. Long story- check my FB page, I put a picture of what happened to the car (that isn't paid off yet) yesterday. SIGH. No clue about a rental- they said something about not paying gas/ mileage. I'm cool with the gas thing, not sure about mileage, and we do have another car that Becca can't drive by herself yet anyways.
And my oldest called me this morning- she said she has a "crush". Who she doesn't know if he likes her. They talked for an hour yesterday- told her that I kind of thinks he likes her- what guy would spend an hour talking to some random girl? Also told her to keep focused, her grades this semester are quite good AND she's got goals she wants to hit before getting married. He's a sophomore, same major as her and the family's in MD.

I was up bright and early, but decided to go back to bed for 2 more hours. Now my brain and body are both awake. Some housework and school this morning. After lunch I'm hosting game club-five tween boys to play Star Wars Monopoly. I've got the Star Wars cd ready to go. After I clean the bathroom and shower, I'm making gluten dairy free pumkin chocolate chip bread. Not sure is all the kids will eat it, so I've also got cider and fresh apples too .
Tonight Zeph starts his volleyball class. We need to stop at the library on the way and then pick up a friend who is also in the class. Dinner is minestone soup, rolls, and fresh pears. Breakfast was oatmeal, plain yogurt and blueberries. No idea on lunch-hoping I have something easy hiding in the freezer. No eating out this week!
|Mon, 11-05-2012 - 11:25am
Yeah Heather it was. In the car that we've only got 4 more payments on :( And I felt bad, the kid who backed into me was only 22 and it was his first accident AND he was driving his mom's car with his mom in it :( They were really nice about it- and GECIO has been really good at getting things done. Took much shorter to drop off the car than I thought it would.
The funniest thing that happened- was with Becca and her friend. The girls wanted coffee at 7-11. The parking lot there is a mess- Becca wanted to drive and I told her no- she's not dealing with that parking lot.Which is a good thing. I don't think it would have been as much damage (big SUV backing into a little Ford Focus) with the van, but I don't know if it would have freaked Becca out to the point where she wouldn't want to take her on-the-road test this week.
There were 2 police officers getting coffee. I was finishing up with the mom- the female officer asked the girls if they wanted a ride over to church (you can see it from the 7-11). They said yeah. Becca's friend said "I hope this is the last time I ever have to be in the back of one of these cars". They get out of the police car in front of church- the pastor said nothing to them LOL. LIke it's a common occurance that they get out of a cop car LOL. People inside the church were wondering- and had a good laugh afterwards.

Hello everyone. Yikes, it's getting dark already.
It was a stressful day at work, with our difficult student but the rest of the glass was great especially considering they had all of last week off.
On the way home, I got a Traction Service light, I have to bring the car in tomorrow, it'll cost $105 just to look at it, never mind fixing it. Uggghhhh.
Kayleigh had a regular school day, didn't stay late for anything. Ian had a regular school day, and both kids have a TAG meeting tonight. They'll have to bring Dh's vehicle.
We are having tortellini and vodka sauce and salad. I'll watch DWTS tonight and maybe order a couple of gifts online.
