Watch me on the Katie Couric show as I discuss Food and Lifestyle Prescriptions for Common Health Problems. For common health problems, there are often simple diet and lifestyle solutions that get to the root of the problem without the need for medication, which often does little more than mask the symptoms. What we eat, […]

Think food allergy and you might conjure the worst-case scenario, like a child going into anaphylactic shock after exposure to peanuts. No doubt, a severe food allergy is scary. But it's also relatively rare. A much more common scenario is an adult with a low-grade food allergy to, say, gluten who never pinpoints the cause […]

Do vitamins kill people? How many people have died from taking vitamins? Should you stop your vitamins? It depends.

IF YOU CAN'T CONVINCE THEM, CONFUSE THEM – Harry Truman The current media debate about the benefits (or lack of harm) of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in our diet misses the obvious. The average American increased their consumption of HFCS (mostly from sugar sweetened drinks and processed food) from zero to over 60 pounds […]

OUR GOVERNMENT AND FOOD INDUSTRY both encourage more "personal responsibility" when it comes to battling the obesity epidemic and its associated diseases. They say people should exercise more self-control, make better choices, avoid over-eating, and reduce their intake of sugar-sweetened drinks and processed food. We are lead to believe there is no good food or […]

The only image I know of her is incredibly blurry and I seriously doubt they made any artwork for her. If they do have any sketches it's probably locked away somewhere, where no fan will ever see it (or maybe just deleted).
It looks like she was wearing pigtails and she doesn't seem to have a hat but I can't really tell what she was wearing.
I've seen fan interpretations. Some say she's wearing a Sailor Fuku but I don't see that.

God is Perfect Love, Healing Love, the Greatest Love
"God is Perfect Love, Healing Love, the Greatest Love"
Chea Guilmette, Practitioner II Student
There is One Presence that is the Source of all things, and I call this Presence God. This powerful Presence fills the Universe, is in all things, between all spaces, around, through and in all. God is everywhere all at once. God is perfect Love, healing Love, the greatest Love!
I know that I am one with this Love. This is my birthright, the Truth, my truth. This is who I am! I acknowledge and affirm this exquisite Loving Power within myself and all who are reading these words.
I allow anything in me that is unlike love to easily fall away where it is transformed by the pure light of Love. I focus my vision and heart on the aura of love and this attention is echoed back to me tenfold. Every moment I choose my life and in this moment I choose joy, health, love, and happiness. God's loving light shines equally on all and I bask in the energetic waves of Good. I am joyful, happy, healthy and loved. All is good, very, very good.
My heart overflows with gratitude for this realization of love and all the good it brings. And so joyfully, gratefully, I release these words into the Law knowing it is already done.
And so it is.
Chea Guilmette is a Practitioner II Student at the Rio Grande Center For Spiritual Living, Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Chuck fought the good fight
"Chuck's enthusiasm lit up the hallways. He could put a smile on your face just by walking by, and was great at re-energizing all of his colleagues around him as he always had a positive outlook on life.
Chuck was an amazing instructor with an incredible dedication to his students. He always poured his heart and soul into working with the students and guiding them not only in their academic studies, but also on the great adventure of learning about life. Chuck's long-term impact on the students that he has influenced is immeasurable, and each of these students in turn has been able to go out and touch the world.
We cannot thank Chuck enough for his care, enthusiasm, and dedication in touching the lives of his students, his colleagues, our University, and the world."
Dr. Kristy Lauver, chair, Department of Management and Marketing
Dr. Charles L. "Chuck" Tomkovick, UW-Eau Claire professor emeritus of marketing, passed away Thursday, July 25, at his home in Eau Claire.
A memorial Mass for Chuck will be at 5 p.m. Monday, July 29, at the Newman Parish in the Ecumenical Religious Center adjacent to the UW-Eau Claire campus, with a reception to follow in the UW-Eau Claire Davies Center Dakota Ballroom. Visitation will be at the Ecumenical Religious Center from 2–5 p.m.
Chuck joined UW-Eau Claire's department of management and marketing faculty in 1990, where he taught undergraduate and graduate courses in buyer behavior, marketing principles, promotion, personal branding, marketing management and service operations management. He also taught marketing for entrepreneurs and small business owners for UW-Eau Claire Continuing Education. He engaged dozens of students in collaborative research, instilling in them a love for scholarly inquiry.
Chuck also used his talents to help others become better teachers. He was a charter member of the UW-Eau Claire Network for Excellence in Teaching Council and was a mentor to new faculty members in the department of management and marketing.
Chuck received many awards throughout his academic career, including the UW-Eau Claire Excellence in Teaching award, which he received twice. He was nominated three times by the university for the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) U.S. Professor of the Year award.
Outside the university community, Chuck was perhaps best known for the Super Bowl advertising research he and Dr. Rama Yelkur began in 1999. Their work has been featured and cited in national and international media such as AdWeek, Advertising Age, BBC Radio, CNN Money, Kiplinger's Personal Finance, LiveScience, The New York Times, USA Today, The Vancouver Sun and The Wall Street Journal. The research team frequently collaborated with undergraduate students on these studies, which they presented at national professional conferences.
Chuck retired from the university in November 2012 to take on the full-time challenge of battling brain lining cancer. He continued to conduct research and recently received the 2012 Marketing Education Review Best Article of the Year award with co-author Dr. Scott Swanson, UW-Eau Claire associate professor of marketing.
Chuck received a doctorate in marketing from Texas A&M University, master of business administration and master of science degrees in marketing and industrial engineering from UW-Madison, and a bachelor of arts degree in business administration and psychology from Carthage College. His resume also includes stints as sales promotion manager for Outboard Marine in Waukegan, Ill., from 1975 to 1980, director of marketing services for Parker Pen in Janesville from 1975 to 1980 and general manager of Vie de France in Houston, Texas, from 1986 to 1987.
Chuck is survived by his wife, Maria Bergevin, program assistant in UW-Eau Claire's Service for Students with Disabilities office, and his children, Ria Sharon, Peter Ault, and Graham Tomkovick.
Chuck's family invites memorials to the Dr. Chuck Tomkovick Fund through the UW-Eau Claire Foundation. More information is available at http://www.uwec.edu/Foundation/what/faculty/Tomkovick.htm.
Personal messages and treasured memories may be shared online at http://www.lenmarkfh.com/obituaries/Chuckl-Tomkovick/#!/TributeWall or on CaringBridge at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/chucktomkovick/guestbook.

This July 4th in Texas you can celebrate America's independence 1940's style!
Soldiers' Angels announces G.I. Jive, a WWII-themed dinner and dance at the Nimitz Museum in Fredericksburg, north of San Antonio, Texas. Doors open at 4 p.m. on July 4th for Big Band music, BBQ, raffles and auctions. Entrance is free, any size donation will cover dinner, dessert and drinks, and guests are encouraged to dress in 1940s-era costume if possible.
Raffle and auction items include international fishing, hunting and vacation trips, wine from Chandelle Winery, Diamond earrings, a two-night stay at LaQuinta on the Riverwalk in San Antonio, and many more great items.
The museum will be open to visitors from 9a.m. to 5 p.m. on Independence Day and guests are encouraged to make a day of it, spending time at the museum to celebrate the sacrifices and achievements of our "Greatest Generation" before joining the GI Jive festivities at 4 p.m.

It is dedicated to perpetuating the memory of the Pacific Theater of WWII in order that the sacrifices of those who contributed to America's victory there may never be forgotten.

Pinterest pick of the week.
If you don't know what Pinterest is, check out my previous post Just Pin It. I stumbled upon this little gem of an idea while browsing pin boards this week.
Get some use out of the old bottles and jars that you have been waiting to recycle and paint them an opaque white (or color of your choice) for instant bud vases. This look really makes a flower bouquet go a long way and I love that it is a green approach to decorating.
Tip: If you have bottles or jars with labels, soak them in hot water and the labels will slide right off.


text: Have you ever sat and wonder why all your friends seem to find someone worthy of being in their lives, but you seem to be the forever alone friend? You rarely meet anyone that's interesting, and if you do they never stay in the picture long-term? You feel you have everything going for you, so everyone else must be the problem? In all honesty, knowing how you are would you even date you? Sometimes we focus so much on meeting the right person that we neglect to look at ourselves. Some people just aren't date-able. If you sat down and thought about you and all your little quirks would you be eager enough to give yourself a chance?

WA Patrol: small gesture can spark road rageNovember 21, 2012 @ 10:01 pm
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - The Washington State Patrol says an aggressive driving incident that escalated to road rage shows the danger of responding to other drivers with even a small gesture of frustration.
Trooper Julie Judson said Wednesday that detectives are investigating twin brothers from Shelton and their Tacoma father for possible felony assault charges after the driver of a Honda Accord was punched in the face and had his car bashed with a club last Sunday.
Judson says the Honda driver responded with a "what are you doing?" gesture when a Chevrolet Blazer merged onto State Highway 167 near Algona, cut across all lanes and suddenly slowed. The trooper says the brothers in the Blazer then pursued the Honda.
She says another Blazer driven by the young men's father helped force the Honda onto the shoulder. Witnesses say one young man climbed onto the Honda's hood, hitting it with a club, while the other repeatedly hit the car driver in the face. The Honda driver finally managed to drive away.
Troopers took the trio into custody although the father was later released.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

How do I get to the Boston Marathon start from the parking lots in Hopkinton?
We STRONGLY recommend that all entrants take the official B.A.A. buses from Boston to Hopkinton on race morning, as it is the only way we can ensure that you will get into Hopkinton.
Hopkinton State Park parking and shuttle is for volunteers and spectators only. Registered runners parking at this location and using this shuttle will not be transported to the Athlete's Village, will have to walk an additional one mile from the drop-off point to the Village, and may be subject to additional security screening to enter the Village. Registered runners are requested to use the shuttle buses from the South Street parking lots in order to ensure their arrival at the Athlete's Village.
I wasn't able to participate in the Boston Marathon. Is it possible to have my t-shirt mailed to me?
We will mail t-shirts to all registered runners who were unable to participate and have requested one. This process can take 2-4 weeks.
How can family members at home track me in the Boston Marathon?
The B.A.A. will broadcast every five kilometer split to its website and family and friends can track your progress by logging in and entering your name or bib number. The "face" of the Boston Marathon website will change on race day and the process on how to enter the search will be clear. The AT&T Athlete Alert program allows messages to be automatically delivered to any US mobile phone, a pager, or any email address.
Alerts will be broadcast when your runner crosses the starting line, reaches the 10K, half marathon and 30K marks, and from the finish line. Runners or their family and friends can register in three ways:
How can my family get to locations along the course using public transportation?
How can I pick up my Boston Marathon bib number if I haven't received my Official Number Pick-up card in the mail?
Any recommendations on how to meet up with my family after I finish the Boston Marathon?
Can I move from one corral to another corral within my assigned wave in the Boston Marathon?
When will I be notified of my acceptance into the Boston Marathon?
Please allow approximately four weeks for application processing. We must receive official results from the race of your qualifying marathon before we can verify your time. Upon acceptance, you will receive an email and/or notification by United States Postal Service mail.
1920 - Ashland Start
The Boston Marathon began in Ashland, Massachusetts from 1897 through 1923 then moved to Hopkinton for the 1924 race. The course was lengthened to 26 miles, 385 yards to conform to the Olympic standard, and the starting line was moved west from Ashland to Hopkinton. Since then, the race has started in Hopkinton every year.

Sly Stone Says He Still Does Drugs Every Now and Then, But He Wants to Get Clean! [VIDEO]
You remember Sly Stone, right?
Via TMZ:
Sly Stone — ex-frontman of the '70s funk band Sly & the Family Stone — is admitting he still abuses cocaine and alcohol … but the 68-year-old singer insists he WANTS to clean himself up.
Stone — who's currently living in a van in L.A. — spoke candidly about his substance abuse issues yesterday, insisting he hasn't used drugs or taken a sip of alcohol in "a week and a half."
A discombobulated Stone claims he's chosen a rehab center — and insists he's serious about it … saying, "I will be there."

The Fine Art of Spiritual Vaccines
I was recently called as my ward's early-morning seminary teacher. I'll pause to let you all wince.
There are many challenges to this calling, but, to my surprise, waking up at 5:15 AM is not the greatest challenge. (This isn't to say it's the smallest challenge, either; I'm not a morning person, at all, and I freely admit to having some very un-Christian feelings in my heart–and words in my mouth–when that alarm goes off.)
No, the greatest challenge for me so far is walking the line between true and useful, as Boyd K. Packer would put it. We're studying the D&C and church history this year, and I'm a total church history hobbyist: though by no means a professional historian, I've spent the past few years reading through "best of" lists of church history books (guided in part by the Bloggernacle; thank you, everyone!), and I'd like to think I'm a little more educated than the average bear, for good or ill. While this has its obvious benefits for seminary teaching—I spend a lot less time on preparation than I might otherwise–it also brings up a huge question: how much of this fancy book-larnin' should I share with my students?
A big part of me wants to answer that with "all of it." I, as a high schooler, would have loved to hear about the warts of church history; I've always struggled with being bored in Church, and the sleepiness of early-morning seminary didn't help. Information about, say, Joseph Smith practicing polygamy would have at least kept me awake and paying attention. Furthermore, somewhat paradoxically, I think my recent reading in church history has been great for my own testimony and commitment to the Church; encountering the historical challenges found in the best books brought me away from the boredom I had been feeling and to an appreciation of some of the thorny intellectual problems posed by a commitment to Mormonism. But, of course, I've heard enough stories, both on the internet and in real life, to know that this isn't the case for everyone.
I'm aware of this, and I'm trying to be sensitive to it, really I am. And yet it seems like every other day in seminary I open my mouth and something tumbles out; so far this year I've touched on Joseph Smith and polygamy (Mary Elizabeth Rollins, Fanny Alger, Patty Sessions, Zina Huntington Young, Helen Mar Kimball, Eliza R. Snow, and Agnes Coolbrith have all been mentioned by name), peep stones and treasure-hunting, Helmuth Hubener's excommunication, the Mountain Meadows Massacre, the Dixie Wine Mission and the changing Word of Wisdom standards, the priesthood ban, the Kirtland bank failures, and probably some other topics that I'm forgetting right now. And I only teach every other day.
Clearly, if "true" and "useful" are really dichotomous, I've opted for "true." But of course I don't think they are, and in choosing to bring these topics up in seminary, I feel that I'm just practicing good spiritual medicine by giving my students a little inoculation. The way information spreads these days, it's hard to imagine any of my students living their entire lives without learning about these issues, and wouldn't it better to at least hear it taught by a faithful member, in a faithful context? Wouldn't it be better if they could see, every other day, a model of a member who knows about difficult X, controversial Y, and faith-challenging Z, and stays in the Church anyway? Or, more realistically, wouldn't it be better if, when they stumble on this information later in life, they can say to themselves, "Oh yeah, I think my seminary teacher mentioned that once!"?
That is the most important point to me: I don't want my students to ever feel like they have been lied to. A few years ago, I got into an intense church-bathroom conversation with a fellow ward member, a college junior first working her way towards feminism. The topic of polygamy came up, and she was quick to decry it, to say how disturbing it was to her. "But," she said, "I take comfort in the fact that at least Joseph Smith never practiced it. He said he could never hurt Emma in that way." Who had taught her this? A well-meaning seminary or Sunday School teacher, probably, hoping to protect her by withholding or sugar-coating information; instead, the approach backfired, as it meant her already-fragile testimony rested partly on a patch of sand.
Inoculation has its dangers, of course; to continue the medical metaphor, overdo inoculation and you can end up with infection, an entire class of seminary students disillusioned and troubled about the Church and its history. I'm trying to practice it responsibly; most days, we focus only on big-picture gospel principles or fun object lessons, and when I do bring up controversial topics, I try hard to present an apologist's viewpoint as well. Plus, my students have reacted very well, so far; they're either smart enough or sleepy enough not to seem especially bothered, in most cases. (I did get some wide eyes when I brought up Joseph Smith's 27 wives, though I think they were more surprised by the number than the concept itself.) Yet I know mine is not the standard approach; I certainly never got any of these discussions in seminary, and judging by the manual's curriculum, most other people aren't either.
So this is my struggle, every other morning at 6:15 AM: where do I draw the line? When do my attempts at inoculation go overboard and result in infection? Should I just shut up about my stupid meat and teach the milk already? Or should I assume that the students are already getting plenty of milk in their other classes on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday and focus on deeper discussions of history?
What is the ideal, do you think? What have your experiences been when dealing with this issue in Church instruction, as either a student or teacher?

Petra, I would have loved to have you as my seminary teacher. In fact, I still would. Maybe I should commute to your class three times a week so I can learn everything about church history that I didn't from the CES-approved version. (Maybe I should also finally read "Rough Stone Rolling", which sat on my shelf for six months barely cracked, because I kept checking out more exciting-looking books from the library.)
My experience in seminary (released time, in the heart of Utah Valley) was that learning wasn't really the point so much as pep-rallying for the church, and that any honest questions I raised were inevitably met with "You just need to have more faith." Granted I was trying my best to be an atheist by the time I was sixteen, and dropped out of seminary entirely at seventeen, so my questions probably came off a bit aggressive; nonetheless, I'm convinced that a seminary teacher willing to be honest with me would have done a world of good.
I say it's better to err on the side of truth — obviously you don't need to go out of your way to bring up exciting scandalous things ("And speaking of tithing, this is what a peep stone looks like!") but it seems better not to shy away from them either. (Not, Petra, that I imagine teacherly-you shying away from anything. :)) Information about church history is only going to be more and more easily available, and I agree wholeheartedly with this:
Wouldn't it be better if they could see, every other day, a model of a member who knows about difficult X, controversial Y, and faith-challenging Z, and stays in the Church anyway? Or, more realistically, wouldn't it be better if, when they stumble on this information later in life, they can say to themselves, "Oh yeah, I think my seminary teacher mentioned that once!"?
Everything you mention, and a lot more, can be addressed in seminary (all but Hubener, I think, were at least mentioned in my own church history home study seminary year of 1974-75). If not in seminary and institute, then when and where?
My only hesitations in endorsing the teaching of those topics if they are NOT an outlined part of the curriculum are:
1. The teacher really ought to know what she's talking about and not introduce myths and misunderstandings of her own through a half-baked rumor-mongering bloggernacle-based version of church history. (That isn't meant to be personal — I don't know you or your knowledge at all. I just mean that introducing false "history" just because a teacher wants to show warts, for whatever reason, can be more harmful than leaving something out entirely.)
2. These topics should be presented as matter-of-factly and with the same spirit as any other parts of church history, not with the attitude that a teacher is telling things that the church wouldn't want the students to know or that the teacher will tell the truth when everybody else has lied.
I say I have concerns about introducing topics that aren't part of the curriculum not because I think the kids shouldn't know and can't handle the material, but because if it isn't part of the curriculum then the teacher has no model or guidance in what to teach or how to present it. Doing it wrong, with a sensationalist approach or an "I'm telling you something you shouldn't know" attitude would be worse than not mentioning it at all. You should genuinely understand *why* you are teaching those topics before you do it, just the same as you ought to understand why there are lessons on the First Vision or tithing or anything else before you try to teach them.
I'm a big fan of inoculation and I think the teen years are the best time to do it. And I think seminary is better than Sunday School. It's "supposed to be" intellectual and academic and so it can handle the weight of this and that. Plus, the idea of secret-because-confusing is dangerous to testimony, imho. Matter-of-fact recognition of strange/uncomfortable facts robs them of their power to shock.
So keep at it.
Those are some good points, Ardis; thanks for weighing in. I should clarify, for anyone worried, that when I say my studies in church history were influenced by the Bloggernacle, that means that I've studiously followed the Bloggernacle's recommendations for the best books to read,. My discussions of Joseph Smith and polygamy are mostly drawn from a combination of In Sacred Loneliness, Rough Stone Rolling, and Mormon Enigma, plus some Dialogue articles, instead of Bloggernacle posts. (Though I will admit to drawing on Bloggernacle sources occasionally; I've referred to your own blog several times while lesson planning.)
I'd also like to think that I'm not just bringing up these topics for the sake of being shocking; most of them, perhaps surprisingly, have come up naturally in the course of the lesson, either brought up by the students themselves (two students got into a heated discussion about peep stones, for instance) or as part of an answer to a student's question.
And I fully agree with your question, "If not seminary and institute, then when and where?" I think that's part of the point that I'm trying to make here: presenting controversial topics in the context of a church lesson, where they're germane, can be better than shying away from them for fear that people's testimonies will be challenged.
What I really wish, though, that I didn't articulate strongly in the post, is that some of these topics were included in the curriculum. While the seminary manual does, to its credit, mention that Joseph Smith revealed polygamy, it is remarkably short of details on the matter. I realize that there's already a lot to teach, but it would be nice to get some further guidance on these topics for teachers who might not be comfortable on their own, and furthermore, it would help dispel the impression that the Church is secretive about the darker parts of its past, plus clear up misunderstandings like those of my acquaintance described in the post.
Th., this goes for your comment too: what would you think about some of these topics being included in the standard seminary curriculum, if it is supposed to be intellectual and academic?
And Melyngoch, you can commute to my seminary class anytime. I have the feeling you'd liven up my object lessons quite a bit.
If you haven't heard back from any parents yet, my guess is that you're doing just fine. (Although, maybe you just haven't been at it long enough.)
If you've been in your ward/stake long enough for people to hear you speak in Sacrament meeting, teach, and make comments in, RS or GD, the person issuing the call knows you have an academic/historical interest in the topic and probably is thrilled to have someone who will teach with passion for the subject at hand.
I think having more adults in my life at that age who could live a thoughtful faith, openly, would have saved my wandering in the wilderness for a good 15 years.
I'm not surprised these questions come up naturally — they should. "Where did that come from?" or "Why did they do that?!" mean that your kids are thinking of the past as something that really happened and that should make as much sense as the present. It should be just as natural to provide the answers and introduce the usually neglected topics.
Just want to repeat that my hesitations had nothing to do with you personally. Everything you've said makes me think I'd be glad to have you teach any kid I cared about. But you probably have noticed the same thing I have in some bloggernacle discussions, where somebody seems to have found a wart that delights him simply because it *is* a wart, and he distorts it while he gloats over making sure everybody on the thread knows how big a wart he thinks it is. I'd hate someone like that to present the difficult issues if they aren't part of the formal curriculum, because the kids have nothing to read as a reality check. They *should* be part of the formal curriculum, and as I said, I'm pretty sure they were, for the most part, in my own seminary career. That was a far more liberal era, though.
Rock on. You are asking wise questions and are taking a temperate approach. As you hinted, seminary lite can lead to disastrous consequences for students' faith in their adult futures. Seminary and other church education forums need to be about teaching students to begin to reason through tough historical and theological questions for themselves. They are given ample tools for belief in Sunday School. Seminary should be about supplying students with tools for thoughtful faith. I wish you would write a book about this.
I have a similar academic background to yours and for five years taught early morning seminary with a similar understanding.
It seemed to work fine. The students and I both learned much and were wiser and better for it.
The biggest challenge for me was getting my ego out of the way so that I was teaching what I knew in ways that enlightened my students rather than in ways that simply gave me satisfaction about transferring knowledge.
The key of course is to pray mightily over your lesson preparation and follow the inspiration that comes. Teaching by the Spirit (and by that I mean divine truth and enlightenment geared specifically for the needs of your students, not emotional heartstring tugging or painting glorious mental pictures) is powerful teaching.
Students learn much from knowledge-seeking teachers who love them and love God and have faith in him AND are open and truthful about what they do and do not know about history and the scriptures AND who know how to recognize divine promptings in their lesson preparations. I suspect you do all three.
When I was in seminary we had a whole class devoted to Mountain Meadows. Four adults worked together on the lesson which they dived up into parts. I thought it was well done, even though now I have learned that they got several parts wrong. I'm OK with that because they were working with what they had.
As someone whose seminary experience consisted mostly of the boys and girls in the class getting into huge gender wars, I think your approach would have been infinitely preferable (especially with the published resources now available that weren't out when I was in high school).
I love your approach, Petra. It seems infinitely preferable to present challenging stuff matter-of-factly, as it sounds like you are, than to ignore it, as seems the more common approach. (At least the ignoring approach is what I got in released time seminary.)
I think merely bringing up things shows to them that you may know more then what you are letting on and if they have questions years from now you could be a resource
I wish I had had an experience like this in my seminary class. Or even in my BYU classes. I feel like we spend so much time hiding our history. Even at the college level, it seems like we can't just get real and talk about actual history.
I don't know if you watched the RS General Broadcast, but part of it was talking about how important it is to remember our history and talk about the RS's history–I really do wonder how much of the history we're going to bring out–only the most flattering?
I think Ardis should rewrite the seminary curriculum. Pretty please.

Will the USPS Seek An 'Exigent' Rate Increase?
Postal Expert: "Everything's a maybe—a scary maybe."
While there has been recent speculation that the U.S. Postal Service is close to raising First Class stamps from 44 cents to 50 cents or seeking an "exigent increase" of 2 to 3 percent in order to improve its dire financial outlook, there are a couple of actions that it will probably take before getting to that point, according to postal consultant Ed Mayhew.
"The Postmaster General would rather bite the bullet than go for an exigent increase because even as revenue would go up, volume would go down," he told FOLIO:. "They don't want to drive customers away."
■The Office of the Inspector General recently hired actuarial consultant Hay Group to investigate how funds for postal workers' retiree benefits were being calculated. The company concluded just last week that "the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) assumption that the annual health care cost inflation rate will average 7 percent annually for all future years is unreasonably high. So, based on OPM's assumptions and methodology, the Postal Service's future retiree health care liabilities will be overestimated."
Had these extra charges not been expensed, the Postal Service would have had a net income of approximately $400 million as of the end of this year's fiscal second quarter and a possible "exigent increase" probably wouldn't have even entered the discussion. The investigation, however, may urge the USPS to adjust retiree benefits in future quarters, therefore, freeing up some much-needed funds.
■While each class is supposed to contribute 100 percent of its postal costs, the Periodicals class only contributes about 83 percent. Because Periodicals only accounts for 5 percent of overall volume, Mayhew said, this fact has gone largely unnoticed—that is, until coupon mailing company Val Pak recently filed a complaint. In order for periodicals to start contributing what it should, the USPS will have to increase their rates by 17 percent, which would be financially detrimental to most publishers. Mayhew guesses that if the Commission does decide to make the periodical class pay up, the increase won't come this year and will most likely be done in phases.
And even if the USPS got to a point where they decided that an exigent increase was necessary, the Consumer Price Index needs to increase by 5 percent every month between now and December, Mayhew said, which is unlikely. (Postal rate increases are generally capped by changes in inflation.) The possibility of the USPS switching to a five-day delivery has also been discussed, but that's up in the air as well, he added.
"It looks possible, but at the same time, the USPS does not have the authority to carry that out—Congress does—so they may have to wait a few years. Everything's a maybe—a scary maybe."

Quotes Following Tulane's 74-69 Thanksgiving Tournament Win Over Bradley
Dunkenberger Named Women's Basketball Assistant Coach
New assistant brings two stints as head coach to the program following year as team's director of operations
Tulane WBB vs Nicholls State
Tulane WBB defeated Nicholls State 77-44 on Dec. 3, 2014.
Doshia Woods begins her fifth season as a member of the Tulane women's basketball coaching staff for the 2014-15 season and will once again primarily be responsible for the development of the Green Wave's perimeter players, as well as serving as the recruiting coordinator and overseer of the student-athletes' academic progress.
During her time at Tulane, Woods has helped the Green Wave post four consecutive 20-plus win seasons, advance to a pair of Conference USA Championship title games twice and earn four straight bids to the WNIT. Her impact on the team has been evident with guards Danielle Blagg (2013, 2014), Jamie Kaplan (2014), Olivia Grayson (2012), Tiffany Aidoo (2011) claiming all-conference honors, Blagg named C-USA Freshman of the Year in 2012 and Leslie Vorpahl announced to the all-freshmen team.
A noted recruiter in the realm of women's basketball, Woods' has been instrumental in landing star student-athletes everywhere she has been. More importantly, Woods has been able to develop that talent she has helped sign.
Her first recruiting class at Tulane proved to be a solid group as the four freshmen - Blagg, Tiffany Dale, Adesuwa Ebomwonyi and Jamie Kaplan - combined to earn C-USA Freshman of the Week honors on seven occasions. All four rookies earned C-USA Freshman of the Week at least once each, including a four-time winner in Blagg. Prior to last season, no C-USA school had more than two players earn the honor.
Woods joined the Tulane staff for the 2010-11 campaign following stints at Western Illinois, New Mexico State, Oregon State and Missouri. Highlighting the list of her prominent student-athletes Woods has worked with prior to her time with the Green Wave include Tiffany Cornelius, Mercedes Fox-Griffin, Judie Lomax, Casey Nash, Talisa Rhea and Zane Teilane.
Under Woods' tutelage, Cornelius and Teilane claimed Mid-Continent Conference Player of the Year honors at Western Illinois in 2003 and 2005, respectively. While Woods had moved on to Oregon State by the time Teilane completed her career, Teilane went on to earn honorable-mention WBCA/Kodak All-America recognition, was drafted by the Detroit Shock in the third round of the 2006 WNBA Draft and played in the 2008 Olympics as a member of Team Latvia.
Teilane is one of three future Olympians Woods helped develop as Kimberly Butler of Oregon State and Tugba Palazoglu of Western Illinois earned spots on the 2012 Great Britain and Turkey National Teams, respectively.
During her time at Oregon State, Woods' recruiting efforts helped the Beavers land the Alaska and Gatorade Player of the Year in Rhea as well as Lomax. Rhea became the 15th OSU player to score 1,000 career points and was named All-Pac 10 last season. Lomax, who transferred to Columbia after Woods and the rest of the coaching staff left the University following the 2007-08 season, went on to lead the NCAA in rebounding twice during her time with the Lions and was named Ivy League Player of the Year in 2010.
Woods also developed Nash during her time in Corvallis, Ore., helping her earn All-Pac 10 honors and move on to a successful professional playing career in Europe. Fox-Griffin, meanwhile, tallied 180 assists in 2006-07, which sits second in school single-season history and ranked eighth nationally in assists-per-game. Fox-Griffin also continued her career playing professionally overseas.
A native of Topeka, Kan., Woods began her coaching career at her alma mater - Western Illinois - in 2001 and helped the Westerwinds post a combined 57-30 record in three seasons. WIU earned Mid-Con (now Summit League) regular-season titles in each of Woods' final two seasons there and advanced to the WNIT in 2003.
From there, Woods accepted an assistant position at New Mexico State for the 2004-05 season where she served as the academics and community service liaison, had a hand in all aspects of player development, scouting and game preparation, and was involved in all aspects of recruiting. After one season with the Aggies, she moved on to Oregon State where she helped the Beavers post a 10-game improvement in her first year in Corvallis, go 16-15 and earn a bid to the WNIT.
Following three seasons as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at OSU, Woods moved on to Missouri where she held a similar position for the last two seasons. A 1997 graduate of Topeka High School, Woods began her collegiate playing career at Barton Community College where she averaged nine points and two assists in two seasons with the Cougars. As a sophomore, she led BCC in 3-point shooting, earned second-team All-Jayhawk West Conference honors and helped lead the team to a conference championship. The Cougars' 29-2 overall record was the highest winning percentage in school history at that time and Barton finished the year ranked sixth nationally.
Woods' accepted a scholarship to Western Illinois for the 1999-2000 season and played in 57 games over the next two years for the Westerwinds. During her Division I career, she averaged 8.8 points per game and was named second-team All-Mid Continent Conference as a senior after draining a school-record 62 3-point baskets. Her 62 treys stood as a WIU single-season record until the 2011-12 season when it was surpassed. Despite playing just two seasons there, Woods' 102 career 3-pointers currently ranks fifth in school history.
She earned an associate's degree from Barton in 1999 and completed her bachelor's degree in English with a minor in psychology from Western Illinois in 2001. Woods is a member of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association and has served as a roundtable presenter for the WBCA national convention. Other presentations include Dan Tudor's "2014 National Collegiate Recruiting Conference," held in Boston, Mass. In her time away from the court, she volunteers for "Girls First," a non-profit organization dedicated to providing sport and movement opportunities to underserved girls in the metropolitan New Orleans area.

New York's garment district turns into Dodge City as mobster Tommy O'Shea (Michael Parks) muscles in on the fashion trade of his ex-wife Olivia Regent (Lesley-Anne Down). She's engaged to Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson), who provides a sense of security for herself and her daughter Chelsea (Erica
Lancaster). Olivia isn't impressed when Tommy tortures her manager, Al (Jefferson Mapin), so Tommy hires an enforcer, Freddie Flakes (Robert Joy); this master of disguise dons women's clothing to follow Olivia into a ladies' room, where he smashes her face into a mirror causing permanent
disfigurement. In the offices of D.A. Hoyle (Saul Rubinek) and his watchdog associate Hector Vasquez (Miguel Sandoval), Kersey and Olivia Regent vow to prosecute Tommy. Freddie and two gunsels disguise themselves as cops, infiltrate Olivia's apartment, and shoot her dead. Now Kersey is ready to
take justice into his own hands. He follows Tommy's thug Chickie Paconi (Kevin Lund) to his family bistro, where Kersey laces Chickie's cannelloni with cyanide. Next he tricks Freddie out of his fortress-like home and blows him up with a rigged ball. After dispatching treacherous Vasquez with a
gun concealed in a doll, Kersey discovers that his buddy Hoyle is in cahoots with Tommy. Using Chelsea as bait, O'Shea lures Kersey to Olivia's factory. Inside, Kersey employs his wits and various mechanical devices to eliminate several O'Shea supporters, including Hoyle. When honest cop Lt. King
(Kenneth Welsh) arrives, O'Shea shoots him, giving Kersey an excuse to push him into an acid bath.
The DEATH WISH series celebrates the American fighting spirit in ways that make modern cities resemble lawless frontiers. Like the lone heroes of the Wild West, Kersey seems locked in a vigilante time warp where it's always high noon. At its heart, however, this brutal actioner is a glorified
splatter flick. With its shredder, plastic wrap cocoon machine, mobile clothing transport hooks, and acid bath, DEATH WISH 5 is a close relative of contemporary fright films like the FRIDAY THE 13TH series. Although this entry is competently directed, the series seems to have lost the zip and
flashes of wit that made the first DEATH WISH so memorably repellent. (Graphic violence, extreme profanity.) leave a comment

Tennessee running back Rajion Neal (20) carries against Akron during the first half of an NCAA college football game in Knoxville, Tenn., on Saturday, Sept. 22, 2012. (AP Photo/Knoxville News Sentinel, Michael Patrick)
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee coach Derek Dooley expects to work from the press box again Saturday against No. 1 Alabama as he recovers from hip surgery, and he has plenty of company on the Volunteers' injury list.
Dooley said tailback Rajion Neal was doubtful for the Alabama game after injuring an ankle last week in a 41-31 loss at Mississippi State. Linebacker Curt Maggitt's status for this week is uncertain because of an injury Dooley called a "stinger issue." Quarterback Tyler Bray hurt his knee, cornerback Justin Coleman sustained a head injury and backup tailback Marlin Lane hurt his quadriceps muscle against Mississippi State, but all three players are probable for the Alabama game.
Dooley underwent surgery Tuesday on a fractured right hip and coached the Mississippi State game from the press box.

Parking in NYC
Since Bloomberg came along, the enforcement of parking rules has become very ... intense. While people who break the rules should be ticketed, a little flexibility wouldn't be unreasonable. (The ticket for alternate side that begins at 8:30 shouldn't be half written at 8:29).
Additionally Bloomberg imposed parking meter regulations on Sunday throughout the City. However, thanks to the NYC Council, that's a thing of the past. Summary: (Having to feed the parking meter on Sundays is now a thing of the past. The New York City Council voted 41 to 3 yesterday to eliminate Sunday parking meter rules. However Mayor Michael Bloomberg ... is promising to veto the bill. [Yet t]he city council has enough votes to override the veto.) The NY Times also has an article on it.
Some rules to know:
4-08 (a)(1)(i) Sign placement. For purposes of this section 4-08, one authorized
regulatory sign anywhere on a block, which is the area of sidewalk
between one intersection and the next, shall be sufficient notice of the
restriction(s) in effect on that block.
4-08 (a)(7) Holiday suspensions of parking rules.
(i) Major legal holidays. Except as provided in subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph, stopping, standing, or parking rules that are indicated on official signs shall be suspended on the days on which the following major legal holidays are officially observed by the City of New York: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. In addition, if New Year's Day, Independence Day or Christmas Day is officially observed on a day other than January 1, July 4 or December 25, respectively, then major legal holiday rules shall be in effect both on the official day of observance and on the traditional day of observance.
(ii) Exception. Parking, standing and stopping rules that are indicated on official signs shall remain in effect on the dates of both official and traditional observance of the above - listed major legal holidays only in areas where signs indicate that parking, standing and stopping rules are in effect seven days a week, provided, however, that the activation of meters that are required by posted sign to be activated seven days a week shall be suspended on major legal holidays pursuant to subparagraph (i).
4-08 (n)(7) Unofficial reserving of parking space. It shall be unlawful for any person to reserve or attempt to reserve a parking space, or prevent any vehicle from parking on a public street through his/her presence in the roadway, the use of hand-signals, or by placing any box, can, crate, hand-cart, dolly or any other device, including unauthorized pavement, curb or street markings or signs in the roadway.
