After he was inaugurated on Friday , President Wiliam N. LaForge presented the DSU family with seven points of vision.
The president's new focus is excellence in every aspect of the university.
"The quest for excellence is only renewed and reenergized by this ceremony," he said.
"It is achievable. It is within reach and it is up to us. We must put the stamp of excellence on all important things we do at this university from the classroom to community outreach."
The seven points of vision were: first, stabilizing and enhancing budget and enrollment.
Through this LaForge hopes to "provide the growth in student numbers and the revenue necessary to ensure quality instruction and adequate compensation for our faculty and staff."
Second, maintaining and strengthening academic standards.
The president wanted to ensure that "our students are provided a first rate education and a degree that prepare them for life and for careers in an ever increasing global workforce and society."
Third, the president hopes to make Delta State a school of "academic excellence where we celebrate the true meaning and concept of university through forums and programs such as the University Colloquial and distinguished speakers events."
LaForge also revealed that next spring Delta State would have a major race relations conference.
He also said there will be an international academic blues conference on "the campus that is the rightful intellectual home of the blues."
His fourth vision is to transform the school to a bustling campus of new students.
"From the Delta and Mississippi for sure, but also other states and from foreign countries who will comprise a multicultural environment that provides an outstanding college experience through our excellent academic programs, through our caring faculty, and our student focus on customer service."
Fifth was the vision to rebuild and maintain the campus infrastructure.
LaForge said plans to stay true to the "architectural beauty and integrity of Delta State and expanding the campus as we develop a master plan for growth."
Sixth the president envisions increasing leadership.
"In the form of outreach and engagement in the areas of community and economic development, health care, and education, through collaborating with the city of Cleveland, Bolivar County, surrounding governments in communities and organizations."
Seventh the president plans to collaborate with the foundation, alumni and others to "boost private support for this university with major gifts and aggressive fundraising."
The president then asked that all members of the DSU family to embrace and share the points of visions and goals with him.
The president ended his explanation of visions by saying, "It is our time. It is a new day."

Sometimes I think running a business is like a contact sport. If you're a business owner then you know what I'm talking about.
Think about it, you get to work in the morning and your best foreman is waiting to talk to you. He informs you that Chuckles Mow and Blow down the road has just offered to pay him $1 more per hour than you so he is quitting.
Wham! The first hit of the day.
After that, still somewhat shocked, you proceed into your office and begin listening to your voicemail and Mrs. Jones is on the machine yelling that your crew ran into her new bird feeder last time they were there and now she wants you to pay for a new one.
Bam! Another blow to the body.
As you're recovering from the voicemail you begin opening the weekend mail (Yes, it's Monday of course!) and you find a letter informing you that you have just been kicked out of your workers' comp group because of the accident Izzy had last year. That was the one where he cut the tip of his finger off with the hedge shears. Your new workers' comp rate is now five times higher than last year's rate.
Kaboom. A sharp right to the chin, you're reeling and the day just started.
Everything that I just mentioned has happened to me in my business over the years and I would bet that you have some familiar war stories to share, as well. The question is what are we doing about these problems? Are we training like athletes? If not, why aren't we?
I know this sounds a bit crazy, but think about this for a minute: Do you think a professional football player would go into a game without any training? Or, would a boxer get into the ring without any preparation?
That just sounds plain stupid doesn't it? Yet, there are many business owners that walk into the ring every day and get sucker punched. It doesn't have to be that way. All we need is to train and be ready for whatever comes our way. I know some professional basketball players say they can see the ball go through the hoop before it ever leaves their hands. They get this from training.
Now I'm not the biggest sports fan in the world, but I have learned a few things about sports over the years. For some reason, I often find myself relating what I observe and learn from sports to business. I'm just weird that way.
So how can we "train" for the above situations I just described?
Let's look at the first one, where our best foreman is quitting for $1 more per hour. If we're really paying attention to our employees and the morale and culture of our company then we should never be blindsided like this. If we as owners haven't attended a seminar, read a book or made a point to learn something about employee relations, then how can we expect to be able to deal with these issues when they occur?
If you do not have an HR person on staff then it's your responsibility to be that person. I've attended many seminars over the years on this very topic and I'm confident that I'm much better equipped to handle these situations when they happen again. If you get the proper training you can even on occasion head these problems off before they happen. You see the ball go into the hoop before it ever leaves your hands.
Let's move on to the bird feeder. What would Mrs. Jones have done if the scenario went like this? Your employee hits the bird feeder, but then promptly knocks on Mrs. Jones' door and informs her that he will be back with a $50 gift certificate to Home Depot so she can go out and buy a new one. He does this because your company has a policy that any employee can fix any problem for a customer up to $50 with no questions asked.
The employee knows that he will be reimbursed for the $50 and not yelled at for damaging the bird feeder. Mrs. Jones calls your office and leaves a very nice message saying how conscientious your employees are and thanks you for having such honest people in your organization. The employee has been trained and knows the procedure is to be honest. The employee knows that accidents sometimes happen. The employee also knows that there will be consequences if there is a pattern of damages from him, but that he will be treated fairly.
The workers' comp issue is the scariest one here and I have had to deal with this on a very big level. I learned a lesson the hard way on this and, unfortunately, got training after the fact. I learned what to do in a situation where an employee is injured and how to minimize the risk of getting kicked out of my group. I learned about different programs that can help lower your workers' compensation rate if your company takes part in them. I learned what to do next time an injury occurs that would be best for both my company and the employee. I can't really afford to strike out again here.
We can't prepare for everything in business, but we can consistently train ourselves to be better at running our companies. There are resources out there for whatever you are facing on a daily basis. Your local trade association is a good place to start if you need help finding them. PLANET and SIMA are great for this as well. JBusiness doesn't have to be a contact sport if you keep training and keep your head in the game.

Police redeployment to saturation teams a return to Daley administration strategy?
BY FRANK MAIN Staff email@example.com January 31, 2013 9:50PM
Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy talks about the reassigning of 200 police officers from administrative duty to join Area Saturation Teams, at Area Central, 5100 S. Wentworth. Thursday, January 31, 2013. I Brian Jackson~Sun-Times

Mayor Rahm Emanuel appeared to rip a page from the Daley administration's playbook Thursday when he announced he was moving cops from desk jobs to "saturation teams" in the wake of a promising teenager's murder, one criminologist suggested.
"When there is a crisis, the first thing a police department does is turn to special units," said Art Lurigio, a criminologist at Loyola University.
"Is this an ad-hoc response to a tragic event that got national attention?" Lurigio said. "Or is this rolling us back to the strategies that seemed to be effective under the past administration?"
Emanuel campaigned on a promise to assign 1,000 more cops to patrols in districts. But because of retirements, there were only 11 more cops on patrol at the end of 2012 than when Emanuel took office in 2011, according to the mayor's office, which says more beat cops will be hired this year.
On Thursday, Emanuel and Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy announced they will move 200 sworn cops from desks to the street — and put civilians in those desk jobs. Instead of going on district beat patrols, though, 60 of those officers will immediately join saturation teams assigned to wider sections of the city.
The move comes after King College Prep student Hadiya Pendleton was gunned down Tuesday on the South Side, drawing coverage from Ireland to Australia.
Thursday's announcement doubles the strength of the saturation teams that McCarthy put in place after disbanding the Targeted Response Unit and the Mobile Strike Force. They were the cornerstones of the crime-fighting strategy of former Supt. Jody Weis, McCarthy's predecessor.
Those units were different from McCarthy's saturation teams because they operated citywide. But Emanuel said the goal of his saturation teams and the previous units is the same: to smother outbreaks of violence.
The number of homicides in Chicago steadily decreased when the Targeted Response Unit and Mobile Strike Force were in place, Lurigio noted.
Last year, murders rose 16 percent compared with 2011, even though overall crime fell, according to the police.
Just as Emanuel's increasing emphasis on saturation units harkens to the Daley administration, so does the effort to shift cops from desk duty to the street.
Under Daley, for example, Weis moved about 150 desk cops to the street and rotated dozens of other administrative officers to patrol duty during the summer.
John Kennedy, executive director of the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police, said other communities in the state also have been filling police desk jobs with civilians to cope with their budget problems.
Jens Ludwig, the director of the University of Chicago Crime Lab, , sees a need for the federal government to shore up the public-safety budgets of Chicago and other cities during rough economic times.
"The budget challenges that are facing cities all across the country have not received nearly enough attention as we try to understand why violent crime is increasing not just in Chicago, but in places like Detroit and Las Vegas," Ludwig said.

"My thinking is that the recession was a situation of all boats sinking at the same time — yachts and rowboats together," he said.
At Dole, organic sales "stayed surprisingly stable" during the recession, Schroeder said. "We thought that was a very good sign."
Schroeder said the situation was the same for conventional varieties, as well.
Because of the similarities in the growing methods between organic and nonorganic specialty mushrooms, the prices are becoming more and more comparable, Salvo said.
But that's not necessarily the case for basic organic white and brown mushrooms.
"The yield on organic is considerably lower than nonorganic, and that, for the foreseeable future, will keep it at a much higher price plateau," Schroeder said. "If you pay the same for the inputs, but you can't get as much out in terms of yield, you're going to have a higher unit cost."

DES MOINES – The state Environmental Protection Commission (EPC) will tour the Des Moines Water Works facility at its Aug. 20 meeting. The tour is scheduled for 8:30 a.m.; the EPC meeting will follow at 10 a.m., with public participation scheduled for 10:30 a.m.
Members of the EPC and the general public need reservations to attend the tour and those must be made by Aug. 15 with Jerah Sheets at 515-313-8909 or emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Requests to speak during public participation must be submitted to Jerah Sheets (contact information above) prior to the meeting or at the meeting before the start of the public participation.
Decisions needed for air quality rule revisions to Chapter 22 and 28 of the Iowa Administrative Code are to revise the subset of the rules for air construction permits and Title V operating permits to emission thresholds and operating conditions. Another revision is to the spray booth "permit by rule." All revisions are needed to meet the more stringent public health standards for air pollutants implemented by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Also before the EPC is a decision to adopt the updated federal air toxics standards for stationary engines. The adoption will mean the DNR, rather than the EPA, will implement and enforce these regulations in Iowa, as well as provide compliance assistance with affected facilities.
Commissioners will be asked to approve DNR entering into a sub-grant award with the City of Muscatine with funding of $194,159.08 from an EPA grant to Iowa to reduce diesel emissions. The city of Muscatine has been identified as an important area to encourage diesel emissions reductions. The funding will go to purchase two city public transportation buses and to purchase and install diesel oxidation catalysts and closed crankcase ventilation systems on nine city maintenance vehicles.
The EPC Agenda Topics follow: • Approval of Agenda • New Commissioner Oath of Office • Approval of Minutes • Director's Remarks • Keep Iowa Beautiful Annual Report • Water Supply: Water Use & Allocation Annual Permit Fee • 2012/2013 Diesel Emission Reduction Grant Program - Recommendations • Final Rules – Chapters 22 and 28–Revisions to Permitting Exemptions and Title V Insignificant Activities to Implement New Air Quality Standards • Final Rules – Chapter 23: Air Quality Program Rules – Adoption of air toxics standards for stationary engines (RICE NESHAP • Monthly Report • General Discussion • Items for Next Month's Meeting o September 16, 2013 – Cerro Gordo County – EPC Educational Tour o September 17, 2013 – Cerro Gordo County – EPC Business Meeting o October 15, 2013 – Teleconference – EPC Business Meeting

OWENSBORO, Ky. (3/17/14) – The second year for a multi-agency 5k fun run and walk created to raise money for local disability services is set for Saturday at 8 a.m.
In its first year, Owensboro's Color Blast drew roughly 4,000 participants and raised thousands of dollars for six agencies involved – Puzzle Pieces, Dream Riders of Kentucky, Two Rivers Buddy Ball, Team Karlie, Green River Area Downs Syndrome Association, and Wendell Foster Campus.
Amanda Owen, executive director of Puzzle Pieces, said the idea for the Color Blast was something she had heard of happening in larger cities through her involvement with Team Karlie, and wanted to develop for Owensboro. She said including all six agencies made sense.
"Nothing like this has been done before," Owen said. "What's important is that even though all six of us provide different services, we all serve the same clients. This is one event once a year when this community can support all of us and directly impact the kids."
The event last year had a great deal of support from and participation by local students, but Owen said the heavy snowfall this year and the resulting high number of school day cancellations had impacted the effort to work with schools this year.
2013's Color Blast was dubbed "the largest 5k in Owensboro," but Owen said she didn't expect to have as many participants this year because of the winter weather conditions in January and February.
- As a result, the deadline to pre-register was extended through today (Monday).
- The Color Blast this year starts and ends at Moreland Park.
- Sign-in starts as early as 6:45 a.m. and the race begins at 8 a.m.
- An after party is planned for approximately 9:15.
- Stations along the route will "blast" runners with colored dye.

Editors' Top PicksSee All
Apple's iPod Shuffle is small, versatile, colorful, and at $49, it's arguably the least expensive device that Apple sells. For those times when you want an impossibly small way to take music with you, the iPod Shuffle is still the most widely recognized solution around.
But it's certainly not the only way to go. Products like the SanDisk Sansa Clip+ or Sansa Clip Zip offer more features and more storage for the same price or less. They lack Apple's brand appeal and design aesthetic, but they deliver the goods and garner deservedly better ratings here on CNET.
No matter how many times I see it, the iPod Shuffle seems shockingly small. Measuring 1.24 inches wide by 1.14 inches tall by 0.34 inch thick, it's practically a musical postage stamp. And while its size is a marvel of product design and engineering, it can also be somewhat impractical to use.
The controls on the top edge of the device are so small; some of you may need to whittle down your fingertips with a pencil sharpener to operate them. And unlike previous generations of the iPod Shuffle, which deliberately left a space on the front of the player for an easy grip, it is nearly impossible to pinch the clip on this design without accidentally pressing the back-skip button in the process. It happened to me while I was midway through an hour-long podcast, and I practically cried.
For all of my criticisms, the Shuffle's design does have some great things going for it, especially when you factor in its wallet-friendly $49 price. Its aluminum construction makes it more resilient to wear and tear than many of its all-plastic competitors. Its clip, which is also made from aluminum, offers a strong tension and tends to stay put. And in spite of all of its other microscopic controls, that large, centrally located play/pause button is impossible to miss. Just don't confuse the elegance of Apple's design for ease of use. The device's inherent limitations and miniaturized controls can easily lead to frustration.
Though the Shuffle's design may be a nod to the past, its features keep pushing forward. Everything that was good about the much-maligned third-generation model (VoiceOver, playlists, audiobooks, and podcasts) has been retained for this version, along with support for Genius Mixes, expanded language support, and a longer 15-hour battery life.
But while the Shuffle's features are impressive for its size, its capabilities are far from groundbreaking in the world of portable audio as a whole. There's no FM radio, no voice recording, and -- obviously -- no photo or video playback. Audio formats supported include biggies like MP3, AAC, Audible, WAV, AIF, and Apple Lossless, but still no love for WMA or FLAC.

Competing plans to build an emergency medical center in Frankfort could ultimately hurt the level of care offered at some Southland hospitals, health care executives told a state review board Thursday.
Both Silver Cross Hospital and Riverside Medical Center want to open multimillion-dollar emergency centers in the village, and the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board is expected to rule Feb. 5 on the proposals.
Both submitted plans to the state in November, with Silver Cross proposing an $8.8 million ER at U.S. 30 and 93rd Avenue, while Riverside plans a $10 million center at LaGrange and Steger roads. Silver Cross had previously planned to build a medical office building on the Frankfort land, but the center was shelved once the economy fell into a recession, according to Ruth Colby, chief strategy officer with Silver Cross in New Lenox, which also operates an urgent care center in Homer Glen.
Karen James, a planning manager with Advocate Health Care, which operates Advocate South Suburban Hospital in Hazel Crest, spoke out against both proposals at Thursday's hearing. She said there are already ample hospitals and urgent care centers to serve the area, and that the opening of a freestanding ER could worsen staffing shortages at South Suburban and other hospitals, possibly compromising patient care.
After her public comments, James said 15 percent of South Suburban's nursing positions are vacant, and staff at South Suburban and other hospitals might jump ship to take jobs at a new Frankfort health center.
Thomas Senesac, chief financial officer with Franciscan St. James Health, owner of hospitals in Chicago Heights and Olympia Fields, said there are plenty of emergency care options for Frankfort-area residents, noting the emergency departments at both Franciscan hospitals have excess capacity.
Senesac said the Olympia Fields hospital is just five miles east of Frankfort, and the possible siphoning off of ER patients — and revenue — by a new Frankfort facility would have "significant repercussions" for the hospital.
Lisa Lagger, chief relations officer for Presence St. Joseph Medical Center in Joliet, also objected to both plans, saying Frankfort-area residents have "ample access to emergency care."
'Clearly a need'
Some Frankfort residents — as well as doctors who live in the community — said at the public hearing that a full-service emergency department would be a welcome addition, but differed on which proposal should get the state's nod.
Ryan Meiners, a radiology physician who lives in Frankfort, said he supported Kankakee-based Riverside's plan. He said he works closely with ER doctors at Riverside, and said many of the hospital's physicians live in or near Frankfort.
"There is clearly a need in this community" for Riverside's project, he said.
Chirag Desai, an oral surgeon at Silver Cross, pointed out that health care centers such as those proposed by Riverside and Silver Cross aren't equipped to handle every emergency, and that a heart attack victim, for example, would ultimately need to be taken to a hospital. Riverside Medical Center is 28 miles to the south of its proposed Frankfort facility, while Silver Cross is 11 miles north.
Desai noted that Riverside is proposing its center in a predominately residential area, while Silver Cross would be in an area zoned for commercial development.
Maria Neuhaus said the Riverside center would be her next-door neighbor, and doesn't want to see the project approved.
"We specifically moved there because it was a quiet residential neighborhood," she said.

Curtis DeBerry, owner of Progreso Produce Ltd., has been indicted on nine counts including wire fraud, money laundering, falsified statements to a financial institution and false declarations in bankruptcy proceedings.
A grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the Western District in San Antonio handed down the indictment July 9. DeBerry, 53, was arrested in June and released on $50,000 bond. An arraignment is scheduled for July 22.
Progreso Produce filed for Chapter 7 liquidation in the fall. Before the filing, the indictment alleges DeBerry lied about deals with Mexican strawberry growers and Raleigh, N.C.-based L&M Cos. to bring in financing and lure in a potential buyer for the failing company.
Progreso Produce was started by DeBerry's father Dale DeBerry more than 40 years ago.
Curtis DeBerry bought the company and the elder DeBerry remained in a sales role. Curtis DeBerry is the sole defendant in the indictment.
The indictment also alleges DeBerry falsified accounts receivable to secure about $7 million in refinancing, and lied to a potential buyer of the company, pitting the buyer against a nonexistent counteroffer to secure a $500,000 downpayment.
DeBerry could face jail time if convicted, with felony counts punishable up to 30 years, plus fines. He also is facing a civil suit related to the failed buyout.

The wickedness of the world which provoked God's wrath. (1-7) Noah finds grace. (8-11) Noah warned of the flood, The directions respecting the ark. (12-21) Noah's faith and obedience. (22)
Verses 1-7 The most remarkable thing concerning the old world, is the destroying of it by the deluge, or flood. We are told of the abounding iniquity of that wicked world: God's just wrath, and his holy resolution to punish it. In all ages there has been a peculiar curse of God upon marriages between professors of true religion and its avowed enemies. The evil example of the ungodly party corrupts or greatly hurts the other. Family religion is put an end to, and the children are trained up according to the worldly maxims of that parent who is without the fear of God. If we profess to be the sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty, we must not marry without his consent. He will never give his blessing, if we prefer beauty, wit, wealth, or worldly honours, to faith and holiness. The Spirit of God strove with men, by sending Enoch, Noah, and perhaps others, to preach to them; by waiting to be gracious, notwithstanding their rebellions; and by exciting alarm and convictions in their consciences. But the Lord declared that his Spirit should not thus strive with men always; he would leave them to be hardened in sin, and ripened for destruction. This he determined on, because man was flesh: not only frail and feeble, but carnal and depraved; having misused the noble powers of his soul to gratify his corrupt inclinations. God sees all the wickedness that is among the children of men; it cannot be hid from him now; and if it be not repented of, it shall be made known by him shortly. The wickedness of a people is great indeed, when noted sinners are men renowned among them. Very much sin was committed in all places, by all sorts of people. Any one might see that the wickedness of man was great: but God saw that every imagination, or purpose, of the thoughts of man's heart, was only evil continually. This was the bitter root, the corrupt spring. The heart was deceitful and desperately wicked; the principles were corrupt; the habits and dispositions evil. Their designs and devices were wicked. They did evil deliberately, contriving how to do mischief. There was no good among them. God saw man's wickedness as one injured and wronged by it. He saw it as a tender father sees the folly and stubbornness of a rebellious and disobedient child, which grieves him, and makes him wish he had been childless. The words here used are remarkable; they are used after the manner of men, and do not mean that God can change, or be unhappy. Does God thus hate our sin? And shall not we be grieved to the heart for it? Oh that we may look on Him whom we have grieved, and mourn! God repented that he had made man; but we never find him repent that he redeemed man. God resolves to destroy man: the original word is very striking, 'I will wipe off man from the earth,' as dirt or filth is wiped off from a place which should be clean, and is thrown to the dunghill, the proper place for it. God speaks of man as his own creature, when he resolves upon his punishment. Those forfeit their lives who do not answer the end of their living. God speaks of resolution concerning men, after his Spirit had been long striving with them in vain. None are punished by the justice of God, but those who hate to be reformed by the grace of God.
Verses 8-11 Noah did not find favour in the eyes of men; they hated and persecuted him, because both by his life and preaching he condemned the world: but he found grace in the eyes of the Lord, and this made him more truly honourable than the men of renown. Let this be our chief desire, let us labour that we may be accepted of him. When the rest of the world was wicked, Noah kept his integrity. God's good-will towards Noah produced this good work in him. He was a just man, that is, justified before God, by faith in the promised Seed. As such he was made holy, and had right principles; and was righteous in his conversation. He was not only honest, but devout; it was his constant care to do the will of God. God looks down upon those with an eye of favour, who sincerely look up to him with an eye of faith. It is easy to be religious when religion is in fashion; but it shows strong faith and resolution, to swim against the stream, and to appear for God when no one else appears for him; Noah did so. All kinds of sin were found among men. They corrupted God's worship. Sin fills the earth with violence, and this fully justified God's resolution to destroy the world. The contagion spread. When wickedness is become general, ruin is not far off; while there is a remnant of praying people in a nation, to empty the measure as it fills, judgments may be long kept off; but when all hands are at work to pull down the fences, by sin, and none stand in the gap to make up the breach, what can be expected but a flood of wrath?
Verses 12-21 God told Noah his purpose to destroy the wicked world by water. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him, Ps. 25:14 . It is with all believers, enabling them to understand and apply the declarations and warnings of the written word. God chose to do it by a flood of waters, which should drown the world. As he chooses the rod with which he corrects his children, so he chooses the sword with which he cuts off his enemies. God established his covenant with Noah. This is the first place in the Bible where the word 'covenant' is found; it seems to mean, 1. The covenant of providence; that the course of nature shall be continued to the end of time. 2. The covenant of grace; that God would be a God to Noah, and that out of his seed God would take to himself a people. God directed Noah to make an ark. This ark was like the hulk of a ship, fitted to float upon the waters. It was very large, half the size of St. Paul's cathedral, and would hold more than eighteen of the largest ships now used. God could have secured Noah without putting him to any care, or pains, or trouble; but employed him in making that which was to be the means to preserve him, for the trial of his faith and obedience. Both the providence of God, and the grace of God, own and crown the obedient and diligent. God gave Noah particular orders how to make the ark, which could not therefore but be well fitted for the purpose. God promised Noah that he and his family should be kept alive in the ark. What we do in obedience to God, we and our families are likely to have the benefit of. The piety of parents gets their children good in this life, and furthers them in the way to eternal life, if they improve it.
Verse 22 Noah's faith triumphed over all corrupt reasonings. To rear so large a building, such a one as he never saw, and to provide food for the living creatures, would require from him a great deal of care, and labour, and expense. His neighbours would laugh at him. But all such objections, Noah, by faith, got over; his obedience was ready and resolute. Having begun to build, he did not leave off till he had finished: so did he, and so must we do. He feared the deluge, and therefore prepared the ark. And in the warning given to Noah, there is a more solemn warning given to us, to flee from the wrath to come, which will sweep the world of unbelievers into the pit of destruction. Christ, the true Noah, which same shall comfort us, hath by his sufferings already prepared the ark, and kindly invites us by faith to enter in. While the day of his patience continues, let us hear and obey his voice.
Genesis 6:1-22 . WICKEDNESS OF THE WORLD.
2. the sons of God saw the daughters of men--By the former is meant the family of Seth, who were professedly religious; by the latter, the descendants of apostate Cain. Mixed marriages between parties of opposite principles and practice were necessarily sources of extensive corruption. The women, religious themselves, would as wives and mothers exert an influence fatal to the existence of religion in their household, and consequently the people of that later age sank to the lowest depravity.
3. flesh--utterly, hopelessly debased.
And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive--Christ, as God, had by His Spirit inspiring Enoch, Noah, and perhaps other prophets ( 1 Peter 3:20 , 2 Peter 2:5 , Jude 1:14 ), preached repentance to the antediluvians; but they were incorrigible.
yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years--It is probable that the corruption of the world, which had now reached its height, had been long and gradually increasing, and this idea receives support from the long respite granted.
4. giants--The term in Hebrew implies not so much the idea of great stature as of reckless ferocity, impious and daring characters, who spread devastation and carnage far and wide.
5, 6. God saw it . . . repented . . . grieved--God cannot change ( Malachi 3:6 , 1:17 ); but, by language suited to our nature and experience, He is described as about to alter His visible procedure towards mankind--from being merciful and long-suffering, He was about to show Himself a God of judgment; and, as that impious race had filled up the measure of their iniquities, He was about to introduce a terrible display of His justice ( Ecclesiastes 8:11 ).
8. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord--favor. What an awful state of things when only one man or one family of piety and virtue was now existing among the professed sons of God!
9. Noah . . . just . . . and perfect--not absolutely; for since the fall of Adam no man has been free from sin except Jesus Christ. But as living by faith he was just ( Galatians 3:2 , Hebrews 11:7 ) and perfect--that is, sincere in his desire to do God's will.
11. the earth was filled with violence--In the absence of any well-regulated government it is easy to imagine what evils would arise. Men did what was right in their own eyes, and, having no fear of God, destruction and misery were in their ways.
13. And God said unto Noah--How startling must have been the announcement of the threatened destruction! There was no outward indication of it. The course of nature and experience seemed against the probability of its occurrence. The public opinion of mankind would ridicule it. The whole world would be ranged against him. Yet, persuaded the communication was from God, through faith ( Hebrews 11:7 ), he set about preparing the means for preserving himself and family from the impending calamity.
14. Make thee an ark--ark, a hollow chest ( Exodus 2:3 ).
gopher wood--probably cypress, remarkable for its durability and abounding on the Armenian mountains.
pitch it within and without--mineral pitch, asphalt, naphtha, or some bituminous substance, which, when smeared over and become hardened, would make it perfectly watertight.
15. And this is the fashion--According to the description, the ark was not a ship, but an immense house in form and structure like the houses in the East, designed not to sail, but only to float. Assuming the cubit to be 21.888 inches, the ark would be five hundred forty-seven feet long, ninety-one feet two inches wide, and forty-seven feet two inches high.
16. A window--probably a skylight, formed of some transparent substance unknown.
in a cubit shalt thou finish it above--a direction to raise the roof in the middle, seemingly to form a gentle slope for letting the water run off.
17-22. And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood--The repetition of the announcement was to establish its certainty ( Genesis 41:32 ). Whatever opinion may be entertained as to the operation of natural laws and agencies in the deluge, it was brought on the world by God as a punishment for the enormous wickedness of its inhabitants.
18. But with thee will I establish my covenant--a special promise of deliverance, called a covenant, to convince him of the confidence to be reposed in it. The substance and terms of this covenant are related at Genesis 6:19-21 .
22. Thus did Noah--He began without delay to prepare the colossal fabric, and in every step of his progress faithfully followed the divine directions he had received.

The Daily Journal
The DA's Office charged the baby's foster father, Wilson L. Tubbs III, (also known as Josh Tubbs) with child abuse resulting in death, according to spokesman Mike Geniella, a charge he said carries the same weight as murder.
Police were summoned to the Mendocino Coast District Hospital at 1:11 p.m. Dec. 2 for a report that the 5-month-old girl had been physically abused, and learned that the infant had arrived at the hospital in respiratory distress and with bruises on her face and skull, according to the FBPD. She was flown to the Oakland Children's Hospital by REACH helicopter because of the nature of her injuries.
Tubbs told police he had stepped away into another room while changing the baby's diaper the night before, when he heard the baby crying and came back to find her lying on the floor with the changing pad on top of her, according to the FBPD.
He allegedly told officers he thought his large dog may have run past the changing table and knocked the changing pad and the baby onto the hardwood floor, and that the infant got a bump on her forehead from the fall.
A Dec. 4 examination at Oakland Children's hospital revealed the infant had two skull fractures and bruises on her face and head, according to the Fort Bragg Police Department.
The doctor also reported the baby had no brain function at the time. On Dec. 5, the hospital reported to the FBPD that the infant had died from her injuries.
The FBPD continued to investigate with help from DA's Office, which sent investigators to reinterview Tubbs Saturday. Tubbs reportedly told the investigators he got upset with the baby and had slapped and shaken the girl forcefully, causing her injuries.
The case was presented to the DA's Office for review Monday, when the complaint was filed and a warrant was issued for Tubbs' arrest.
Officers found Tubbs at 4:50 p.m. Monday in the 1000 block of Oak Street and arrested him. He was booked at the Mendocino County Jail under $500,000 bail.
The baby was not living with her parents, and had been placed by Child Protective Services with family members who apparently included Tubbs, according to Geniella.

Courtesy Two Blades FoundationThe tomatoes to the left are the Fla. 8314 variety into which the Bs2 bacterial spot-resistance gene has been inserted. The tomatoes to the right are VF 36, which is extremely susceptible to bacterial spot. When a gene from bell and hot peppers is inserted into tomatoes, it not only imparts resistance to bacterial spot—a devastating tomato disease—it also bumps up yields.
Jay Scott, a University of Florida tomato breeder at the Gulf Coast Research and Education Center in Wimauma, admits a small segment of the population opposes transgenic crops.
But he says the benefits of a bacterial spot-resistant tomato to the environment and growers would be a strong selling point.
"We still have to overcome different views on transgenic crops," he told attendees of the recent Florida Tomato Institute in Naples. "My personal feeling is most people just don't care.
"We need to emphasize to the public that this is a green technology. We're using less pesticide and putting less contaminant into the environment."
Transgenic tomatoes are nothing new. The now-defunct Davis, Calif.-based Calgene introduced the first transgenic crop—the Flavr Savr tomato under the MacGregor's label—in the 1990s.
Because of shortcomings with the trait, Flavr Savr tomatoes never took off, Scott says.
But consumers back then actually wanted the tomato because it was genetically engineered, he says.
"If it was successful, we might have a different attitude today," Scott says.
The need for disease control
Growers apply an average of $500 worth of copper and mancozeb annually to try to control bacterial spot—one of the most devastating tomato diseases along the East Coast—without much success.
Statewide, tomato growers spend about $28 million on copper and $14 million on mancozeb annually to fight the problem, he says.
Gary Vallad, assistant plant pathology professor at the Gulf Coast center, has conducted numerous field trials to try to find effective bacterial spot controls. Outside of streptomycin, an antibiotic not registered for field-grown tomatoes, nothing has stood out.
Even then, antibiotics provide at best 85 percent control and no significant yield improvement, he says.
Actigard, an SAR—or systemic acquired resistance—product produces at best a 35 percent reduction in bacterial spot symptoms. But it does little to improve yields, Vallad says.
Copper, the industry mainstay, is relatively ineffective since most strains of Xanthomonas—the organism responsible for bacterial spot—have grown resistant to it, he says.
Copper also has come under fire because it can build up in the soil to toxic levels.

We live on Planet Ocean.
Water covers three-quarters of the globe and a staggering 80% of all life on Earth is found hidden beneath its waves. As the sea rolls across the planet it provides over half the oxygen we breathe, sustains billions of people with its resources and drives weather systems and natural flows of energy, which maintain life on Earth.
We need a healthy global ocean to survive. Yet our oceans are in crisis.
A healthy ocean has diverse ecosystems and robust habitats. But a myriad of human pressures – from overfishing to climate change – are causing ecosystems to collapse, the extinction of many marine species and the destruction of ocean habitats. Our own Pacific Ocean, one of the last relatively healthy ocean ecosystems, is being plundered at an alarming rate. Find out more
We need to change the way we fish and the way we protect our oceans. From the high seas to the supermarket shelf, Greenpeace works to replace destructive and illegal fishing practices with sustainable ones. We have a bold vision to end overfishing and establish a global network of marine reserves, which are vital to restore the health of our oceans. Find out more
For over thirty years Greenpeace has taken action to protect the gentle giants of the sea. Our work has helped end whaling in nearly every country and revived decimated whale populations. Yet whales are still not safe. Today we're campaigning to protect whales from the many dangers they face, from 'scientific' whaling to climate change. Find out more
You have the power to end the destruction of our oceans. If more people demand sustainable seafood from their retailers, there's more incentive and pressure for industrial fisheries to provide it. In fact, the tide is already changing. Find out more

Strong and durable, they're dishwasher safe.
Melamine is a type of plastic that cannot be melted and reshaped after it has been molded once. It is this special characteristic which makes melamine more expensive and more desirable These melamine bowls are manufactured using labor intensive methods which improve their characteristics. First, the melamine, which begins in a powdered form, is weighed by hand. Then it is inserted into a compression mold where it stays for approximately 2 minutes. When it is removed, all of the flash (extra material) must be filed off. The flash is waste, but an intended result of overfilling the mold in order to always get a perfect part. Then, each piece is hand-polished using a special compound which gives the bowls their clean, shiny, and smooth appearance. Not all melamine is created equally. Some manufacturers use injection molding which requires a lesser grade of melamine that often shows flow marks. Automatic pelletizing saves time and money, but does not permit uniform hardening of each piece, thus making it more brittle and apt to break. All materials in these bowls have been approved by the FDA for food safety. |

Very nice ring. Well worth the price. You'd need to spend at least $400 for this quality. I noticed it looks like it has a higher center in the picture, but it is a regular flat surface. Hope that helps, because I passed up buying it once just because of that!
After reading all of the reviews, I was thrilled to order this ring. When I saw the ring, I was immediately disappointed. The diamonds were VERY white and didn't sparkle at all. So, my search for the right ring continues.
My husband bought me a necklace from Zales for Christmas, and although it was pretty, I really wanted an anniversary band instead. So, we returned the necklace and put the money on this ring. When it arrived, it was just as pretty as the other reviews had promised. I compared it with my $500 ring of similar style and weight, and this shines just as bright. I highly recommend it for the money; it's a good value.
What an excellant buy and great quality. I purchased this ring in July of 2008 and have worn it constantly. The diamonds are matching in color and size, the setting is superb. Buy it...you'll love it!
I still can't believe how lucky I was to find this ring at Overstock. The diamonds are stunning, extremely sparkly, can't stop looking at it. It would cost 4 times more in my favorite jewelry store, I know, I priced it. Thank you Overstock!!
Nice ring for the price. I though the band was a little thicker but not unsatisfied with it.
This was purchased for me by my husband to match another band I already had, this worked perfectly and was 1/3 the price of the original
I enjoy my eternity band fits great and is quite beautiful...quite pleased
My fiance didn't want it, It didn't match her engagement ring. I ordered a different one , which she likes very much. Now I'm having a hard time getting a credit, after sending it back, which cost me $20.01 through FEDEX
I love this ring and am very happy with my choice. I was looking for a simple, understated band that I could wear every day, and I am glad that I went with 1/2 carat instead of 3/4 carat that I was also considering. This is not too small, exactly what I was looking for! I did need to get the ring sized 1 size down, but this was because I overestimated my size -- the sizing on the web site was accurate. I was worried that a channel-set ring might be difficult to resize, but it turned out to be a simple and inexpensive job. Thank you Overstock for the great deal!

"Over the past 16 years, we've seen the American consumer transition to varieties besides artificially-matured tomatoes," he said. "We don't see that trend stopping."
In a statement, Lance Jungmeyer, president of the Nogales-based Fresh Produce Association of the Americas, which represents shippers and importers of Mexican produce, said the association is confident that Mexico has abided by the letter and intent of the suspension agreement.
"The suspension agreement has provided some order to the marketplace, which was the original intent," Jungmeyer said. "We are pleased that since 1996, when the first Tomato Suspension Agreement took effect, tomato growers from Mexico have been diligent in complying with the agreement."

As far as home schooling is concerned, why would I want to be with my parents 24/7? There's a gigantic world out there and I don't care to experience it lockstep with my family.
Are not other peoples values imposed upon those folks because most view such an act as unacceptably too taboo?
Actually, it is the homosexual that is trying to impose his or her perceived values on a society that has never accepted homosexuality as anything other than deviant from the societal norm.
Is that because they view the nuns as being sexier or just plain old more permissive than muslim women would be wearing high heels under their hiked-up burkas? If not, then why the obviously blatant discrimination against Muslims?
I suggest you stop watching parades.
I view their mockery of Catholic nuns as something more than outlandish, it is profanity. Yet, not even the most progressive liberals dare to mock/affront the followers of Allah in such an openly public display of profanity.
Why do you think that is, Lulu?
Why is it that what is seen as blasphemous to one group of believers so therefore highly discouraged by our elected officials, is yet still given the greenlight in the name of 1st Amendment rights concerning another?
Why is this obvious discrimination acceptable, in your opinion, managing editor of the News-Register, Steve Bagwell?
I'd much rather pass time laughing and making merry with intelligent, witty homosexuals than with hand-wringing, self-proclaimed saints wearing frowny faces while sitting in their Lazy-boy seats of judgement. And yet...expending an inordinate amount of time ferreting out "wickedness." That pitchfork and torch are mighty heavy.
Smile a little more. Have some fun. Make a joyful noise.
Not once in my ten plus years of commenting online have I ever posted the word "wickedness" in any phrase concerning any subject. Not my word, that's your word, Lulu, and whomever you choose to pass your time with is no concern to me.
I neither wring my hands nor make any claims to having led a saintly life, that's your stone to toss and not mine. Other than having quoted the opinion of Jesus concerning his view of pedophiles and what should be their fate (of which I am in most solid of agreement) I have never over the course of my entire lifetime ever quoted chapter nor verse verbally or in writing from any book of religion.
Enjoy your truffles....

Maryland is well known for its crab culture - mean, you folks love you some crab! And so do I. There is a distinctive flavor and I commend Campbell's for trying their hand at a commercially made crab soup - and to name it "Maryland Style" - well, it better be damned good and I was fired up to try it.
While warming up my can of Campbell's Select Harvest Light Maryland Style Crab Soup, the smell of crab meat wafted through the air which made my tummy gurgle with anticipation. It might have been a little too hot when I put that first spoonful in my mouth - but I didn't care. The tomato soup base is chunky with potatoes, carrots, corn, and more and has a very light kick of pepper to spice things up. The crab tasted like ... crab - which is a good thing as it didn't taste like over-processed mush. But, although this soup looked and tasted great, I wish there had been larger pieces of crab rather than the thin strings that I saw.
A 1 cup serving of Campbell's Select Harvest Light Maryland Style Crab Soup provides 80 calories, 1% of the daily value for total fat, 480 milligrams of sodium (20% DV), plus 2 grams of fiber, 6 grams of sugars and 3 grams of protein. There are also 30% DV vitamin A and 10% DV vitamin C.
I paid $2.00 for an 18.6 ounce can of this soup. Considering the price, I was very satisfied with the quality of the soup - I am adding this as one of my favorite varieties of Campbell's Select harvest Light Soup. Even though there are technically 2 servings in a can, I had the whole can for lunch, which provides a lot of sodium, but draining part of the liquid can reduce the sodium even more. I love chunky soup, and this one certainly delivers.

New Limeco LLC has made recent investments in food safety programs.
Eddie Caram, general manager of Princeton, Fla.-based New Limeco, credited a beefed-up program as one of the reasons the company is successfully boosting its Guatemalan papaya business.
Better quality and increased consumer awareness are reasons New Limeco has bumped its typical weekly volumes from four or five containers to nine containers per week, Caram said.
But food safety-related reasons can't be discounted. In particular, New Limeco's persuasion of its grower partners — not just Central American growers of papayas, but also growers of other fruits and vegetables — to get up to speed.
"One of our Guatemalan growers got his plant Primus-certified, and it's opened the doors to more chain store business" in the U.S., Caram said.
The same has been true for other New Limeco commodities, including chayote squash, Caram said.
"We're bringing in two loads of chayote per week, and we're going into more chains," he said. "We've increased food safety and traceability, and it's helped us open more doors."
New Limeco employees Don Edgar and George Leon manage the company's food safety and traceability program. Last summer, Leon was promoted to assistant packinghouse manager.
Edgar and Leon are overseeing a program that takes New Limeco's food safety and traceability efforts to a whole new level, Caram said.
"We're doing something new — tracing serial numbers at the box level."
New Limeco also has changed some of its machinery in an effort to boost food safety and traceability capabilities, and the company is trying to make sure its suppliers are keeping pace.
"We're trying to incorporate the same (standards) with our offshore growers so we have complete traceability and we can all work as one," Caram said.
Food safety and traceability have always been integral to New Limeco's operation, but lately the company has been working even harder to stay on the cutting edge.
"It's very important to us that our growers are certified so it can be traced back" all the way to the field level, Caram said.
If there's a recall or if a customer just has an issue with the quality of something they bought from New Limeco, the customer can give the company the serial number of the product to find out where and when the product was grown, packed and shipped.
In the early years of its food safety program, it was enough for New Limeco to good manufacturing practices/good agricultural practices and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point certification, Edgar said.
