Caring For All Arkansas ChildrenPosted Thursday, December 27, 2012, at 8:40 AM
Generosity is part of Arkansas's culture. Regardless the form of loss or suffering, time and again, Arkansans come to the aid of others. This kindness of spirit shines brightest during the holiday season. It's heartwarming to recognize all that Arkansans do for disadvantaged children and families at this time of year.
One program synonymous with benefiting children at Christmas time is the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve's Toys for Tots. Their mission is to collect new, unwrapped toys and distribute them as Christmas gifts to needy children. These are children who find themselves in unfortunate situations through no fault of their own. Organizers work to make sure that a Toys for Tots gift is often accompanied by a message of hope.
There are many other large-scale efforts under way to improve the lives of children in Arkansas. This month, a Little Rock-based program for homeless children and adults launched a capital campaign to expand its services. Our House provides housing, job training, education, and child care for homeless families who are working but still cannot make ends meet. Through Our House, these families develop skills that will enable them to be independent and successful on their own. But no matter how many families Our House helps, there are always many more on waiting lists. That's why Our House hopes to triple its program capacity, making it easier for more families support themselves.
The work of charitable organizations, like Our House, is now more important than ever. The number of people in homeless families living in suburban and rural America rose nearly 60 percent during the recent Great Recession. In fact, more than one million school children are now homeless in our nation, with almost 19,000 of those children living in Arkansas.
This month Arkansas Children's Hospital announced a new center to honor the legacy of its retiring Director and CEO, Dr. Jonathan R. Bates. The hospital has long been a leader in children's health care and in brightening the lives of kids who are ill. Dr. Bates was at the center of those efforts for decades, and the Bates Center will continue working to effectively and compassionately care for children.
One of the great things about Arkansas is that it's small enough to feel like a tight-knit community. Here, we seem to understand that we are all connected to one another. We know that the best opportunity we can give to the children of our State is to ensure they are well-fed, sheltered and healthy. Our compassion today helps pave the way for continued success and generosity among Arkansas's future generations. To everyone who reaches out a hand to others in our communities, thank you. May you find your own rewards in giving to others this Christmas and beyond the holiday season.

What can I take to control my high cholesterol besides Lipitor, Zocor, or Crestor?
- Q: My cholesterol is 313; my triglycerides are 205; LDL is 224; HDL 48. My doctor wants me to take simvastatin (Lipitor). I cannot take Lipitor, Zocor, or Crestor. These products are debilitating; they make me sick and I feel like my muscles are being ripped from the bones. Is there anything else I can take in place of these products? I would prefer something natural.
- A: Lipitor (atorvastatin), Zocor (simvastatin), and Crestor (rosuvastatin) are all cholesterol-lowering medications in a class of drugs called "statins." Statins block the production of cholesterol in the body to reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and total cholesterol in the blood. Lowering your cholesterol can help prevent heart disease and hardening of the arteries, conditions that can lead to heart attack, stroke, and vascular disease. Statins can cause rare, but serious side effects involving the muscles and tendons. They should generally be avoided in people who already have muscle problems or who have experienced muscle problems on any of the statins. Other high cholesterol treatments are available and the choice will depend on your specific lab results and other medical conditions. Consult your doctor or health care provider for specific recommendations. Alternative treatments or natural treatments for cholesterol are available and range from herbal supplements to more traditionally accepted treatments such as niacin. Keep in mind that nutritional and herbal supplements are not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the same way that prescription and over-the-counter medications are. Because herbs and supplements are not strictly regulated by the FDA, these products are not required to be tested for effectiveness, purity, or safety. So their manufacturers aren

It isn't so much an issue with tidy plates, but rather with WoW plates in general. Tidyplates in its simplest level is just a skin for WoW's default nameplates.
WoW will continually try to organize the nameplates in the most efficient way it can, but if you have a lot of adds then you'll have issues no matter what you do.
Really the only thing you can do is find a camera angle that causes them to not move around as much, or check Allow Overlapping Nameplates option, which is available in the Names area under Interface (in the default WoW options, not the tidyplates options). Scaling the nameplates might also help, it won't completely stop the problem.

Man found on Northwest Side is season's 5th cold-related death
BY JAMES SCALZITTI Staff Reporter January 4, 2013 4:12PM
Updated: January 4, 2013 10:08PM
An apparently homeless man who died early Friday after being found outside on the Northwest Side is the fifth cold-related death of the season in Cook County.
Jerzy Tarkowski, 60, was found in the 5500 block of West Belmont Avenue early Friday, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. He was taken to Our Lady of the Resurrection Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 1:15 a.m.
An autopsy found he died of hypothermia brought on by cold exposure, with alcohol intoxication a contributing factor, the medical examiner's office said.
The previous cold-related deaths in Cook County this season include:
• Luis M. Escalante, 53, found in the 3200 block of Oakton Street in Skokie near a park at 3200 Oakton St. on Dec. 22. Escalante, of the 1800 block of West Farwell Avenue, died of cold exposure.
• Casimir Widarz, in his 60s, died while lying on the ground in the 4300 block of South Ashland Avenue on Dec. 21, according to the medical examiner's office. The primary cause of death for Widarz, who was homeless, was heart disease with cold exposure listed as a factor.
• Thomas Grubb, 41, died from hypothermia and cold exposure on Dec. 9, according to county records. Grubb, a registered sex offender who was living on the street, was found near a UIC student center, the medical examiner's office said.
• Florence Hawkins, 83, was the first confirmed cold-related death of the season. She was found dead at her home in the 8200 block of South Chappel Avenue on Nov. 27, the medical examiner's office said.

The Drury University 403(b) Retirement Plan is a defined contribution plan that operates under Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The purpose of the Plan is to provide retirement benefits for participating employees.
All employees of the University are eligible to participate in the Plan, excluding students, independent contractors, or employees who work fewer than 1,000 hours of service in a plan year. The plan year runs from June 1 each year through May 31 of the following year.

during morning coffee
Materials - paper, Xacto, pencil, cutting mat, two wooden dowels (of the half-dozen I have around for who knows what reason), two push pins (fancy!).
This sad bare wall is what our guests first see upon entering the house. Since moving back in, after the remodeling, I have yet to decide what to put there. I know for sure that I don't want a console/mirror combo (that chair is there just for scale). I guess paper will do for now.
Next time I tackle the wall it will be something a bit more 3D. Ideas already flowing...

I love, love, love this!ReplyDelete
Would I kill your mojo if I say "THIS. But FABRIC"?...ReplyDelete
It's just that, as soon as I saw it, I pictured myself hand printing a whimsical pattern in a piece this big of fabric, and then being able to have the cojones to cut it like this. Very thought provoking!
Thanks Monica!ReplyDelete
Not at all Maria! It's funny because I thought the same thing—maybe using heavy canvas for some added texture and weight.
WOW!You got inspired. I love the largeness of this and that little bit of orange. Thanks for posting :DReplyDelete
I really love this. I have a lot of blank walls & messy areas in my house that have been waiting for the "perfect" something to organize or brighten up the place. One thing I am trying to do this year is open myself up to the "good for right now" solution rather than waiting for the "absolutely perfect for forever" solution. This project is a great inspiration to me---so glad you shared!ReplyDelete
~Christine H.
quickly done!!!ReplyDelete
realy nice.
Maybe you've addressed this before, but how big is your cutting mat? Self-healing? Designed for quilting?ReplyDelete
I'm still using my 14x14 mat designed for scrapbooking (even though I don't scrapbook anymore) and there are lots of times when it's just not big enough.
Love the hanging, by the way. Is the orange paper adhered behind somehow?
Marisa – I use a self-healing mat that is about 20 x 15 and it's still not enough. I had to move it around on the floor behind the paper.ReplyDelete
The orange paper is simply taped on the back side. I didn't want to use glue so that the white paper wouldn't buckle.
I love "big" artwork. Makes such a nice impact. Where will this take you, I wonder?ReplyDelete
Love this! You are clearly extremely talented. What a lovely blog too. So glad to have found you on Spoonflower! :)ReplyDelete
this has taken my breath away.ReplyDelete
I have not read your blog for a while... nowadays I am looking for inspiration specially to not be afrais and cut a huge piece of paper or tons od small ones to decorate a big wall in my home.ReplyDelete
Great inspiration... I have some questions though... what weight is the paper you use for this gorgeous art? How long do you think it will last in good condition? you know without wrinkling or whetever that happends to paper in time... Did you use double-sided-mounting-wall tape kind of thing to make it look off the wall a bit?
Thanks for sharing all your beautiful creations?
Karla - My apologies for the late reply to your question. Somehow it slipped through the cracks.ReplyDelete
The paper I used for this was butcher paper (the simple one used for banners and such). It lasted much longer than expected. I took it down because I wanted something new.
As far as hanging the piece... I just used two dowels—one through a folded over pocket at the top and the same for the bottom. The paper just naturally hangs a bit away from the wall because of the width of the dowels (which are about 1/2" in diameter).
I welcome all your comments and read every one of them. If you have a specific question I will be happy to answer it!
Thank you so much for visiting!

Something similar to Olohuone was found in Kanneltalo at least last week.
Lynoure has written 3 entries about this goal
I must admit I'm losing energy to do anything about this one.
One problem with getting Olohuone back is probably that if it stays too long in one place, people get used of it and do maybe no longer treat it with respect.
So what if Olohuone would become a travelling thing, appearing in different places for a week or so each?
What would it take?

Driver killed after train collides with pickup in Weld County
WELD COUNTY, Colo. - A pickup truck was split in half and a driver was killed in a collision with a train Friday morning in Weld County.
The crash happened at about 5 a.m. on Weld County Road 8, that's near Highway 85, north of Brighton, according to Colorado State Patrol trooper Josh Lewis.
The pickup truck was pushed about 200 yards, then it caught fire. The truck was heavily damaged.
Lewis told 7NEWS there was one person in the pickup.
The coroner said that person, 55-year old Francisco Ardon, of Aurora, was ejected in the crash and died. There were no passengers.
Engineers told state troopers that the truck was moving when the train hit it.
"It appeared that he was just driving down the street," said Fort Lupton Police Sgt. William VanArsdale. "It did not appear that he was racing or speeding, trying to beat the train. He was just driving down the road."
The train was traveling 55 miles per hour, VanArsdale said.
There are no lights or sirens at the crossing, just a stop sign and a railroad crossing sign.
Officials said the train was damaged, but still functional after the crash.
7NEWS queried data from the Federal Railroad Administration Office of Safety Analysis and found that two previous incidents had occurred at the location where Friday's fatality happened. Nobody was injured in a 2002 incident, but a driver was injured in a 1980 incident. [Read more of what we found in the safety records]
Troopers expect the area around the crash to be closed for several hours for the investigation.

Buffyverse fans, rejoice: Not only is ''Angel'' coming back next fall, but the show will add another of Buffy's bloodsucking boyfriends, James Marsters' Spike. Expect an announcement to that effect on Tuesday, when the WB reveals its fall lineup at the network's annual ''upfront'' presentation in New York.
According to trade reports, ''Angel'' will remain in place on Wednesdays, to be preceded by ''Smallville,'' moving from Tuesday to replace the departing ''Dawson's Creek.'' The new Tuesday follow-up to ''Gilmore Girls'' will be ''Fearless,'' a drama about a young FBI agent (''She's All That'''s Rachael Leigh Cook) who is genetically incapable of fear. (The much-touted ''Gilmore'' spinoff, centering on Rory's pal Jess, is expected to debut midseason.)
Among other new shows on the WB, there's ''Tarzan & Jane,'' in which the ape man gets the ''Smallville'' treatment and becomes a hip, young vineslinger who moves to Manhattan to be with police detective Jane. Steve Harvey returns to the network as host of ''Steve Harvey's Big Time,'' a variety/talk show featuring non-celebrity guests. (It airs in the Thursday death slot opposite ''Friends.'') In other odd-couple comedies, ''Kangaroo Jack'''s Anthony Anderson stars in ''All About the Andersons,'' playing a single dad who moves back in with his folks (''Good Times''' John Amos plays his father); Holly Robinson Peete stars in ''Like Family,'' about black and white families who share a home; and ''Run of the House,'' about two grown siblings raising their teenage sister.

good cheap (vegetarian) eats in durham and surrounding areas
- jjb75 Dec 6, 2006 04:08 PM
I'll be spending the weekend in durham scoping out the whole "triangle" area to possible move down there soon and was hoping to get help on any interesting places to grab inexpesive, interesting food - breakfast, brunch, ethnic, burrito bars, veggie cafes, etc.
hopefully relatively healthy on a tight budget!
The actual vegetarian restaurants are rather woeful, but there are many, many places where you can get good vegetarian food. For burrito bars, try Carrburritos in Carrboro--just west of the Chapel Hill line. Also in Carrboro is Weaver St. Market and the Spotted Dog. Weaver St. Market has a hot bar for breakfast and lunch--dinner, too, I would imagine. Spotted Dog is across from Weaver Street, and does nice salads and sandwiches incorporating tofu and vegetarian "meats". These are all reasonably priced, especially Carrburritos.
In Durham, the Federal makes an excellent grilled cheese/avocado. You can also find good Middle Eastern--I'm partial to Neomonde (in Morrisville), but Baba Ganoush is good, too. Saladelia, too (Greek grilled cheese is great!)Guglhupf bakery in Durham puts out excellent bread, and is a great stop for a bite if it's nice out (patio is awesome). Next door is Foster's Market, where you can get sandwiches and a nice slice of pie.
Finally, I am a Locopops evangelist. So I encourage you to go there, on Hillsborough in Durham. They have popsicles of an amazing variety, and very cheap.
Enjoy Durham and its surroundings! We moved here (Chapel Hill) from Boston 1.5 years ago and we love it--wish we had done it sooner.
Weaver Street (organic co-op market in Carrboro) is definitely good for a cheap meal - the hot by-the-pound dinner is the best deal around. Spotted Dog (casual sit-down restaurant across the street from Weaver Street) also makes a strong effort with its vegetarian dishes, and has good beers on tap. And I agree with the Sage rec - it is more pricey than the other suggestions, but still moderate.
All of the Indian restaurants in Durham have a large selection of vegetarian dishes. There are also two fully vegetarian Indian restaurants in the area--Tower in Morrissville and Udupi in Cary. There is also a vegetarian Indian chaat restaurant in Cary. There is a Thai place in Chapel Hill and one in Durham, and both offer the option of making most dishes on the menu vegetarian.
Cosmic Cantina in both Durham and Chapel Hill make a nice selection of burritos and tacos, and it's very inexpensive. I also second the recommendation for Carrburritos.
Actually I've found that most restaurants around here have at least a few veggie entrees on the menu, unless you go to a BBQ joint or a steakhouse or seafood place.
For a very nice (and moderately priced) Turkish dinner, try Talullas in Chapel Hill. It's not necessarily super-cheap, but they have a very large menu full of vegetarian dishes, many of which are inexpensive. Don't miss the mercimek koftesi -- red lentil & bulgar patties with scallion, garlic, mint & spicy Antep pepper. Their salads are also quite nice. Great atmosphere. You can find the menu (including prices) at http://www.talullas.com
re: durhamois
Oh I agree 100% with Durhamois, Tallulah's is fantastic, the borek, the little zucchini fritters, smoked eggplant. Gourmet time. but more expensive..
Mediterranean Deli is right nearby a cheap order at the counter kind of place. The food used to be great, now it's so-so. But hey it's cheap & veg. Get a bowl of Lentil soup, some salads & the desserts are homemade.
The markets: Weaver St, Harris Teeter, Carrboro & Durham Farmers Market (don't miss the one at Duke) cater to vegetarians! with wonderful produce: mangoes, papayas, long beans, endive, dandelion greens, purple potatoes, heirloom tomatoes & faux meats. I could go on & on. At home I'm mostly vegan & it's so easy & gourmet.
Eating out; everyplace is accomodating; between the universities & the hospitals they're used to vegetarians. Also check online for the Farmer's market in Durham. I know there is one Saturday in Carrboro in the morning. It's right near Weaver St, with its cheap & great hot & cold food bar. Carrburito's is right nearby & I go there once a week. The food is dead fresh & tuesday's they have spicy tofu as a special side; it's great
I used to live in New York City & then Europe, I adore it here in Chapel Hill. Sophisticated with the nicest people.
re: Rory
Rory - can I just say that I always appreciate your posts. I love your positive used-to-be-a-new-yorker-but-love-it-here attitude about eating out. Last night I got together with a friend of mine from Boston who's been living here for years, but who insists this area is just disappointing and nothing is nowhere near as good as in Boston.
many vegetarians (and non-vegetarians) flock to banh's on ninth street on saturdays for the number 8, which is a plate of fried tofu with a sweet black bean sauce, accompanied by sticky rice and a salad roll. it is only five bucks and rather
addictive, definitely a saturday staple for tons of folks. (and on wednesdays the roll is substituted for bok choy). couldn't recommend anything higher in the way of a durham weekend meal tradition.
re: paperplate
I love Asian food, and my friend told me excitedly all about the number 8 at Banh's. I ran (did not walk) and found it only okay. Kind of bland, actually. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think everyone is so excited by this dish because there is so little good southeast Asian food to be found for a reasonable price. If you've never had sticky rice, it is a revelation. It is a spankin' good deal.
re: paperplate
How could I forget Bahn's? Their vegetarian plate is outstanding. I second the recommendation heartily.
If you're near the airport, there are a couple of Indian veggie places not too far away.
Plus, there's Neomonde, the Lebanese place, that makes the best felafel in town, as well as lots of fresh, delicious, and very reasonably priced stuff. And the bargain bread (they're also a bakery - and not just pita bread) is only $1.50 per item!
Neomonde is on Hwy 54 (which runs parallel to I-40), in between Airport Blvd and Aviation Pkwy.
I just saw this post and just joined up, but thought I would reply for others who might stumble upon this thread. We have a very active vegetarian society here, www.trianglevegsociety.org. You can find a detailed local vegetarian resources guide there at http://www.trianglevegsociety.org/res... . We have people who come from a number of states to enjoy our Thanksgiving - the largest vegetarian (all vegan) Thanksgiving in the country with almost 500 people gathered together! Best wishes. --Dilip
We love two vegetarian Indian restaurants in Cary. Udupi Cafe has dosai and uppatham that are absolutely great. I usually order off the menu rather than getting the buffet. Nearby is Cool Breeze, which specializes in Indian ice cream and chaat (street food). Get the chaat sampler (very cheap) and be ready for a mouth explosion. It's amazing how many flavors they can pack into a bite size morsel.

(KTSF by Angelina Wong)San Francisco Zoo threw a Thanksgiving feast for their 15 lemurs. The menu included turkey made out of monkey chow biscuit; green beans; a fruit salad of apples, bananas, and grapes; sweet potatoes. Each of them enjoyed a glass of apple juice. You will be amazed how well the lemurs behave at the table!
Lemurs are classified as threatened or endangered species. They only inhabit approximately 10% of the island of Madagascar. The zoo created the event in appreciation to the people who try to conserve the Madagascar forest.

Pursuit of short-term modifications to improve a location plagued by traffic congestion pledged
"I am pleased to join Congressman Frank in showing our commitment to restarting the review process for a project that was put on hold in 2003," said Governor Patrick." This investment will create jobs and stimulate economic growth in the area."
"MassWorks grants have added thousands of jobs and supported business growth throughout the Commonwealth by providing public infrastructure grants for such improvements as sewers, roadways, pedestrian walkways and water treatment systems," said Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray. "This investment in Middleborough will support the beginning stages of a project that will lead to long-term traffic improvements for residents and businesses in the town and surrounding communities."
"I am proud to join Governor Patrick to announce this significant step towards relieving congestion at the rotary," said Congressman Frank. "The people of Middleborough need the rotary to be improved, and I will make this project one of my top priorities in the upcoming Federal Transportation bill."
Because of ongoing traffic congestion, addressing the future of the rotary is a priority of local planning and economic development officials. The funds will support necessary updates in engineering and environmental plans first drawn up nearly 10 years ago, including required adjustments due to changes in environmental regulation. While the engineering and environmental review proceeds, MassDOT will work with local stakeholders to discuss short-term options for reducing congestion at this location.
"I am so pleased we have an Administration in that listens to our region and is willing to make an investment like this, which will benefit Middleborough and the surrounding towns significantly. This $2 million investment will help make major transportation improvements to the rotary, as well as spur economic development and create jobs today and into the future. Back in June I held a series of community forums and the redesign of the Middleborough rotary was a major topic mentioned. I'm proud of the efforts by Congressman Barney Frank and the Patrick-Murray Administration in making this crucial project a reality," said Senator Marc R. Pacheco.
"This is an important first step towards the creation of new jobs and business opportunities for not only Middleborough, but for the surrounding communities as well," said Representative Thomas J. Calter.
"Traffic backups are always going to be an issue with any road improvement project. Installation of the new signalization and further improvements to the rotary is an indication that this project is moving forward," said Representative William M. Straus.
Road and bridge projects are a part of the more than $4 billion infrastructure investments being made as part of the Administration's Massachusetts Works initiative putting nearly 20,000 people to work across the Commonwealth this construction season.

5 Ways Louisiana's New Voucher Program Spells Disaster for Public Education
Photo Credit: Jorge Salcedo | Shutterstock.com
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Late last month, the state of Louisiana unveiled a new school voucher program, joining 14 other states that have recently increased the availability of vouchers to fund private school tuition with public dollars.
This latest pet project of popular Republican Governor Bobby Jindal, called Louisiana Believes, is now regarded as the most extensive voucher system in the United States -- out-privatizing even the state of Indiana, where nearly 60 percent of the state's students are eligible for vouchers. By eroding caps on family income levels, and thereby providing voucher assistance to both low- and middle-income families, Indiana's plan aimed to remake public education in the state more extensively than any voucher system in US history – until now.
Like Indiana's program, Louisiana's new voucher plan is so wide in scope that it could eventually cut the state's public education funding in half. But in a number of crucial ways, the Louisiana model works even harder to destroy public education than Indiana's program does. Already approved by the Louisiana state legislature, the program sets an alarming precedent for undermining public education in other states. Here are five of its most dangerous components:
1. Few Caps or Restrictions after Year 1: The program is modest in scope for the 2012/2013 academic year, but drastically expands after that. In this upcoming year, 120 private schools and a few high-performing public schools (most of them in Southeastern Louisiana) will be opened to voucher applications. About 5,100 students from low- and middle-income families previously enrolled in low-performing schools, along with entering kindergartners whose families meet the income requirements, will be eligible to apply for the euphemistically named "scholarships" this year.
But things will change drastically during the 2013/2014 academic year. Vouchers that cover private school tuition will be expanded state-wide for middle- and low-income students from low-performing schools. There will no longer be any required caps on the number of vouchers that can be awarded. About 380,000 children -- well over half of Louisiana's 700,000 school children -- will become voucher-eligible next year. Again, in the nation, only Indiana rivals this program in scope.
But Louisiana's voucher program will take things a step further, still: In the fall of 2013, the state will begin to offer voucher assistance to students from families of all incomes. These $1,300 "mini-vouchers" will be available to all students enrolled in low-performing schools, and will be used to fund a wide range of educational activities, including online courses, religious study, private instructors, vocational apprenticeships and independent studies. (State Republicans consider this a "political compromise," as they would have liked to award full tuition scholarships, not just mini-vouchers, to students from households of all income levels.)
Though the stated purpose of these mini-vouchers is to provide "remediation" for students who are struggling with core courses like English or mathematics, in practice, the new system will chip away at the state's public education infrastructure, drawing vast amounts of funding out of the public schools and putting it into private hands. And in the process, it will shore up profits for long-time opponents of public education like testing-giant Pearson and online course-provider K-12, Inc., which will be operating said "remediation" programs.
2. Huge Deductions from Public Education Funding: While other states often try to hedge about the impact voucher programs have on public education funding, Louisiana has made no attempt to hide that its new program directly defunds public education. Because Louisiana is a solidly conservative – and solidly anti-union – state, pro-voucher advocates faced fairly little political pressure to support public schools, and had no real political incentive for hiding the fact that these vouchers steal money from public education.

Judging by Larry Sanders' Instagram account, the Milwaukee Bucks center probably just signed a contract extension that will keep him with the team for "the next five years."
And also judging by the photo, he wasn't the only one excited at the prospect.
Word had already leaked out that Sanders was on the verge of signing an extension in the range of four years and $44 million.
No official word of the signing has yet to come from the Bucks. We'll update this post as warranted.
Updated: The Milwaukee Bucks have issued a press release confirming the contract extension, though details of the deal were not included.
"By combining his God-given ability with hard work and determination, Larry has developed into one of the top young defensive players in the league," Bucks General Manager John Hammond said in the release. "He is a very important part of what we are doing in Milwaukee, and we're excited to announce his contract extension."
The Bucks are planning a press conference with Sanders for "early next week."

Zoë Ryan is the John H. Bryan Chair and Curator of Architecture and Design at the Art Institute of Chicago. As a writer and curator, she has been instrumental in translating design thinking for a wide public audience. Ryan's critical eye is also valued by competition organizers, and she has served as a juror for a range of competitions and awards programs, including the Harvard University Graduate School of Design Wheelwright Prize, the National Design Awards of the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, and the Chicago Architecture Foundation's Chicago Prize. She is currently curating the Istanbul Design Biennial.
I've organized a number of architecture exhibitions here in Chicago—and I mention this because when you're telling a story about an architect you're not always talking about success stories in terms of built work. You're often talking about the competitions that architects didn't win. And yet, these designs can be just as important as the winning projects. Competitions allow architects to contribute their ideas and research that sometimes exist outside of their normal workload, but are integral to their design thinking. And competitions often mark seminal moments in an architect's career.
Competitions are all about collaboration, and the process can make for very interesting stories for the general public. Take, for instance, the MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program. I take notice of the shortlist of finalists as much as I do the winner. But every one of those firms has to deal with financial constraints and workflow issues—splitting the time of employees, for instance. There is also a business angle to how a competition challenges a firm's identity and takes it in a direction it might never have gone before.
As a writer and curator, I'm interested in iterations—how design can respond to and push a series of related ideas. If there's a public component of a competition, the gap between design insiders and outsiders narrows significantly. For me, living in Chicago is fantastic—there's a high level of public engagement in design and architecture generally.
It's true that architecture is all around us, but when we think about architecture competitions—especially those for public projects—I think people respond to those that invite them to be a part of the conversation, that prompt them to think about the contexts for these projects, and about the stakeholders that are an integral part of the process.
When I was a student, I remember being struck by architecture's proprietary language. I see my responsibility as a curator and juror as interpreting that language. I want to clarify the contribution that an entry will make to furthering architecture's relevance to daily life. —As told to William Richards

Hyperelastic skin is skin that can be stretched beyond what is considered normal. Skin then returns to normal.
India rubber skin
Hyperelasticity occurs when there is a problem with how the body makes collagen fibers. Collagen is a type of protein that makes up much of the body's tissue.
Hyperelastic skin is most often seen in the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. People with this disorder have very elastic skin and joints that can be bent more than is normally possible. For this reason, they are sometimes referred to as rubber men or women.
Other diseases that may cause skin that is easily stretched include:
You need to take special steps to avoid skin damage when you have this condition because your skin is more delicate than normal. You are more likely to get cuts and scrapes and scars may stretch and become more visible.
Talk to your doctor about steps you should take for this problem and get skin check ups often.
Call your health care provider if:
Your doctor will do physical exam to assess your skin, bones, muscles, and joints.

You are here
Kowan Road
Canoon Rd Fire Trail
Steep, loose, and more steep. This fire trail is no easy ride.
Whale Rock Exit
Short and steep with rewards. At the top is North Epping Bowling Club, at the bottom is Whale Rock.
Whale Rock is very popular with walkers, especially kids and people with access issues (the elderly).
Day Rd Fire Trail
This is fairly straight, is of a consistent grade and tends to have conflict issues between riders. There are signs warning riders to slow down. There is a tap at the Day Street end. It's easy to miss. As you leave LCNP it is on your left, after the short rocky crest, against a chain mesh fence. Often with a dog bowl under it. If you get to the picnic table on the right and have not found the tap, you missed it. It was back about 20m.
Belinda Cres Fire Trail
This is one of the easier fire trails to ride in Lane Cove National Park. The trail follows the valley floor and hops back and forth across the creek often via a number of concrete fords. This trail passes Whale Rock. After rain the fords are anything from trickling to flooding with water. This trail is nice and cool to ride in summer.
Hurley Heights Fire trail
Rather pointless rough and overgrowing side trail that didnt go anywhere but down. We turned around when it became overgrown double track.
Mt Hay Rd
A not to difficult ride with great views at the end.

text: Todt believes Schumacher will recover from injuries 19 January, 2014 Jean Todt and Michael Schumacher enjoyed huge success together at Ferrari FIA President Jean Todt has revealed that he is confident Michael Schumacher will recover from his skiing injuries. Todt, who became famously close to the seven time F1 World Champion during their days together at Ferrari, is one of only a handful of people who have visited Schumacher in hospital since he fell while skiing, three weeks ago. He been in an induced coma since. There has been speculation that the great 45-year-old German may not recover from his brain injuries, but Frenchman Todt said that he is confident of seeing his close friend again. "Michael is a fighter and I know well his energy, his courage and his perseverance," he is quoted in German-language news reports. "I firmly believe this will make the difference at a time when fate is hesitating," Todt reportedly said in Munich at an awards ceremony. "It is at this time that all who love him must believe in him," he added. (GMM) Subbed by AJN.

The above photo comically represents what used to be a popular method for evangelizing people . . . one that doesn't work terribly well in our day.
In a previous post entitled The Missio Dei, I sketched out four aspects of God's grand mission.
In it, I pointed out that some Christians and churches focus on one aspect of the mission to the exclusion of the others. But all four aspects of living missionally are important and each should be taken in season.
One of those four aspects of living missionally is what I call "commission" which is the increase of Christ through bringing others to a saving experience of His grace and life. It includes both evangelism and discipleship that's relevant for our time.
The following posts treat this aspect of the mission. I hope you'll find each of them to be of help.
Tomorrow's post is entitled Rethinking Water Baptism.
My "Answers to Skeptics" Series – five posts written to and for those who do not yet know Jesus:
Answers to Skeptics Part I: There is a God
Answers to Skeptics Part II: Is Jesus the Only Way?
Answers to Skeptics Part III: Is the Bible Reliable?
Answers to Skeptics Part IV: Can a Good Person Be Condemned?
Answers to Skeptics: Part V: Aren't All Christians Hypocrites?
To elaborate on this series, I recommend the following 5 books:
Exposing Myths About Christianity by Jeffrey Burton Russell – a 2012 release that contains a masterful treatment of 145 viral lies and legends about the Christian faith.
Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis – a classic that explains and defends biblical Christianity.
Simply Christian by N.T. Wright – the Mere Christianity for the 21st century postmodern world.
A Place for Truth edited by Dallas Willard – a compilation of essays written by various Christian thinkers, all exploring life's hardest questions.
More Than a Carpenter by Josh McDowell – a clear apologetic that's quick and easy to read.
Other Missional Posts:
What is a Christian? – T. Austin-Sparks answers the question with seminal insight.
Why I'm a Christian – 12 reasons why I follow Jesus and a challenge to those who do not.
Living in the Divine Parenthesis – a challenge against the tendency to become insular, isolated, and ingrown. Explains how the New Testament calls us to engage in "good works," but explains what good works are and aren't. (In the New Testament, "good works" have to do with alleviating oppression and helping those who are hurting.) The source of good works is also discussed as well as the meaning of the Kingdom of God being present yet future. Includes audio.
Rethinking the Gospel – explains what the New Testament means when it uses the word "gospel" as well as "Jesus is Lord" and "Christ is ALL." Jesus of Nazareth is Lord, not just over our private spiritual lives, but over the whole world.
Defending the Old Testament – David Lamb – David Lamb defends God in the Old Testament (two parts)
Defending the Old Testament – Paul Cohen – Paul Cohen defends God in the Old Testament.
Following Your Spiritual Instincts Regarding the Poor – explains how much God cares for the poor and what our attitude should be toward them.
Wavin' Flag: Remix – a song I wrote that expresses Christ's love for the world through the church.
Rethinking How We Present the Gospel – affirms yet rethinks how we present the gospel to non-Christians.
20 Reasons Why the Christian Right & the Christian Left Won't Adopt Me – encourages Christians to engage the culture and affirms all types of engagement (social, civil, political, etc.) without necessarily aligning with the Christian Right or the Christian Left.
N.T. Wright – my exclusive interview with N.T. Wright where we discuss church, mission, culture, and the church's prophetic role in speaking to "power."
Epic Jesus – Jesus is much larger than our traditions, personal tastes, and theological systems. Includes audio. E. Stanley Jones said, "A reduced Christ is the same as a rejected Christ." Epic Jesus unfolds that thought.
A Vanishing God – Jesus has an interesting habit of breaking out of our expectations, imaginations, preferences, and ideas. A challenge against sectarianism and elitism, something I've spoken against often.
The Eternal Purpose – explores the four aspects of God's timeless purpose. Includes audio.
The Anatomy of the Church – outlines 14 metaphors for the church, some of which depict its nature to reach out to the world around it.
The Presence of the Future – a meditation on the Kingdom being "already, but not yet." HT to George E. Ladd.
Kingdom Confusion: Part I – rethinking the Kingdom of God in the world.
Kingdom Confusion: Part II – dismantles the fallacy of pitting the Kingdom against the church. If you've heard people say, "Jesus mentioned the church only twice, but He mentioned the Kingdom over 100 times" you need to read this.
Thoughts on the Coming Revival – a reflection on past and future revivals.
Helping God's Family in this Economy – an encouragement to help others in need, "especially those of the household of faith."
20-Somethings Share What Attracted Them to Jesus Christ – over 250 twenty-something Christians explain what attracted them to Jesus. (Read the comments.) Insightful and instructive.
Is Your Ministry Due for a New Season? – discusses a new season of developing relationships with those who don't know Jesus as well as helping the poor.

Southwest soccer holds off Bison
The Southwest Guilford boys soccer team set the tone early and hung on late.
With the conference's last playoff berth on the line, the Cowboys scored the first three goals of the game and survived High Point Central's late rally to win 4-2 on Thursday at the High Point Athletic Complex.
"We got up 3-0 and were playing well," Southwest coach Rob Szitas said. "But we can't afford to let teams come back. Obviously, Central's a good team. They're well-coached, and they knew they needed to win to have a chance at leap-frogging us to get to the playoffs.
"So, we knew we were going to bring everything, and they did. They never quit. So, you've got to give them a lot of credit. Luckily for us, we were able to get the lead, and the last one there kind of sealed it and put it out of reach — which allowed me to relax a little bit," he said with a laugh.
Jeremy Cronin scored two goals, while Holden Hmiel had a goal and an assist to lead the Cowboys (15-4-2, 6-4 Piedmont Triad 4A), who clinched the conference's third and final automatic playoff berth with the win.
Andrew Gullickson also had a goal, while Evan Thomas and Trent Mayberry each had an assist, as Southwest Guilford controlled much of the game's first 50 minutes, keyed by first-half goals by Gullickson (27:00) and Hmiel (12:03) to lead 2-0.
"That was very important," Szitas said of his team's first-half performance. "We knew if they scored first or we didn't jump on them right away and let them in the game or have the momentum, then things might not go the way we'd want them to. So, we said we'd set the tone early, and we were able to do that.
"We were primed, we were ready. We talked about it all during practice yesterday and during our warmups today. We were just ready to go. We wanted to come out and make a statement as early as we could, which was good."
The Bison (12-7, 4-6 PTC) — who could've tied for third with a win, setting up penalty kicks following the game as a tiebreaker — rallied in the final 30 minutes on goals by Campbell Locke (30:14) and Carlos Murillo (18:40).
Locke headed in Murillo's corner kick, and then Murillo lofted in a shot off the goalkeeper and into the net to pull within 3-2. Central then created a couple good looks before Cronin scored his second goal of the half with less than two minutes left.
"I thought we played well," Bison coach Kate Finch said. "I thought our second half was much stronger than our first half, and that's kind of been the story of our play lately. We're a second-half team, and we've talked about how we have to put a solid 80 minutes together.
"It's something about our forwards, when they connect up top," she said of the team's second-half surge. "When they find feet and play simple, and when they can connect up top, that's what happens. … It was refreshing to see that, especially with hopes of playing next week. To see them not put their heads down, that was good."
Kyle Shina made three saves in goal for the Cowboys, while Parker Ford and Stephen Smith combined for seven for Central, which will have to wait for the playoffs brackets to be released to see if it was selected as a wild card.
The first game of the playoffs are will be played Tuesday or Wednesday.

By the time you read this, Governor Martin O'Malley should have introduced the marriage equality bill to great fanfare in the Maryland General Assembly. Maryland's GLBT Community has been ramping up for this moment since the painful collapse of the marriage campaign in the House of Delegates in the 2011 session. People in our community and beyond are bracing for a rigorous debate as GLBT Organizations and their supporters do battle with the antis amassed to remind the public at large that "Gay Marriage" will damage society.
It is no secret that marriage equality supporters are banking on the governor to do the heavy lifting necessary to pass this legislation, notwithstanding the formation of the Marylanders for Marriage Equality coalition. It's also no secret that any marriage equality legislation will almost certainly be successfully petitioned to referendum. Indeed, Delegate Aisha N. Braveboy attempted to amend the last year's marriage equality legislation to make the bill contingent on a referendum. Indeed, there is much debate over whether marriage equality would survive a referendum.

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.
