text: How to Trim the PentagonAnd Create a Flexible, World-Class Military We put together our own plan to slim down the budget of the U.S. military, shrink the deficit, and come out of it with a fighting force that's more nimble than before. By Joe Pappalardo Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery 4 of 5 3. EMBRACE SEA BASING More than half the world's population lives within 120 miles of a coastlinea statistic that defines future battlegrounds. The concept of sea basing avoids land bases in favor of deploying all forces from ships. This decreases the footprint of a military operation and enables the president to adjust the deployment based on needmaking entering and exiting military campaigns easier. A sea base can be set up in foreign waters without permission. It can also be resuppliedmeaning no more diplomatic quid pro quos for border crossings or airspace access. RECOMMENDATIONS: Build transport ships. Pentagon officials have stated that sea basing requires transport ships on the U.S. coasts to reach anywhere in the world in 11 days. Today's ships are too slow; a new 14-ship flotilla of fast aircraft- and cargo-carrying vessels is required. FINANCIAL IMPACT: An investment of about $14 billion will be needed, but it's better to adapt existing commercial designs for the military than to rent retrofitted fleets from contractors. Retire the USS George Washington (CVN-73). It may seem counterintuitive to advocate sea basing and cut carrier battle groups to a total of 10. But with more flattops launching helicopters, unmanned aircraft, and stealth F-35Bs, fewer carriers will be required. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The George Washington is about to be overhauled; retiring it (and its air wing) instead saves about $7 billion over 10 years.

I noticed today that the bedding in my coop is moist but it has been pretty dry outside. I am not quite sure how to dry the coop out. First mistake I made is building my coop on the north side of the barn because it was the only side that made sense. I have hay down and when I went in the coop today the underlayment of hay was moist. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I do not want my chickens to get any diseases and once I put the other 4 chickens in there it will only get worse. I am thinking of putting in a cement floor to solve the problem. I am not about to mix it myself and thinking of asking one of these cement places to dunp their extra but problem with that is there are some power lines going to the barn that might prevent the truck from getting close enough.
suggestions?? I was going to add this to the barnyard special thread since it is swerving towards disease prevention but it is getting off the original subject and I did not want to hijack ... |

I use the 'dry litter' layering method, where I only fully muck out my coop several times a year (unless it gets wet from rain). My actual coop where the roosts are is pretty well protected, so I just add more straw as the existing stuff gets broken down. Mine stays odor-free and has no problems with this method--but I'm in a pretty warm, dry climate with no snow or heavy-duty winter. When I do muck it out, I choose a time when it is hot and dry, and get everything out and let the coop dry out and air for at least a day. I use straw, not hay, since I find it aerates itself better and stays dry due to the way it lays down and doesn't 'pack' down. Maybe try straw? Velvet ~:> |

I think making a new thread was a great idea. Is this ground water that is wicking up, Rain or waterer water that is being splashed into the hay, or some other source? |
We manage like Velvet during the winter. Around here it's called manure packs or deep litter method, heat/warmth is generated from the pack. We usually get 2 thorough cleanings in somewhere between Nov - March/April. We use shavings-havn't had any respiratory issues and it works for us. During good weather we either clean out or rotate, for everyone not just chickens. Brendasue |
The coop out back we built it and dug out all the dirt-and such out to the depth of 18". Then used treated 2"x12" all around the bottom two high giving us 6" above grade (outside soil level). Filled with crushed concrete (14") over that heavy duty greenhouse floor cloth and 2" of sand on top of that. The bedding we use on top of that is the pelleted pine saw dust used for horses. The chickens do not eat it and if they did it is digestible. It absorbs the moisture from their droppings and the deep base does not allow water to rise up even when we get 1-2" of rain in one day. The alkaline nature of crushed concrete discourages rodents from tunneling in it, plus the greenhouse woven floor allows water to pass through it but the sand and such stays above it. When cleaned we shovel to the sand and even take some of the sand in with the saw dust and chicken poo. The sand levels are restored to 2" and new sawdust pellets are about 1" deep and as needed (due to weather or time constraint) more sawdust is added over the old until we able to clean it again. It is always dry. And they love it to dig in. This year were going to build 3'x3' trays to put a DE/peat/sand mix in there for them to dust in. Love those trays that someone posted earlier, a good IDEAL. That way the dusting mix can be changed regularly without changing the whole floor areas. |
I am not sure where the water is coming from. The sides of it are all wire so it might be rain blown in or it might be seeping up or both. seramas can you ptovide an internet link or photo that illustrates how to do this? I clean out the coop every week. and the boxes they hang out in at night I clean daily. I was thinking of digging some of the dirt out, putting in bags of cement (loose, not mixed) and then some shavings on top of that to see if that would help with the water build up. |
Loose concrete will harden when becoming wet and will then hold moisture. We used crushed concrete (old concrete that has been crushed into smaller pieces) with about 1/2 to 1" pieces with no other gravel added. You have to dig down so that the crushed concrete will be below the level of the outside dirt. It must be deep enough to be above the outside dirt on the inside of the coop. Use Landscape cloth if you can't get the heavy woven greenhouse flooring cloth. Place 2" or so of sand on top of the cloth then your bedding on top of that. The goal is to create a drainage zone that is big enough to contain and drain away water no matter where it comes from (even the runoff from the roof). Having these layers deep enough to be well below and above the outside ground on the inside of the coop. Any spilled water (or water from a leaky roof) will drain down and away not pooling-up causing a muddy spot in the coop. |
no photo showing up for me. I wonder if bricks would accomplish the same thing? I have a stack of bricks in my barn that the goats keep knocking over and a piece of something that looks like an old chimney. I could bust that up. I think I am getting the idea now. |
- Posted by brendan_of_bonsai 4b AK (My Page) on Fri, Feb 27, 09 at 20:52
same thing |
Maybe the contractor has one of those extention chutes, they could slide the concrete into your coop? We like the concrete-easy to clean & works for our area. Your weather may be a big deciding factor, too. Velvet pointed that out in one of the other threads. Brendasue |
Brenda I thought of that and was thinking when I feel better I am going to call around and ask. |

'Friend' as a noun, verb: 'The King's Speech' and 'The Social Network.'
Colin Firth, left, and Geoffrey Rush in "The King's Speech"
Star Tribune
The intersection of media and society is where one finds our modern age. We all help create the collision of these forces, and we are all in turn reshaped by it.
I've spent a lot of time at this intersection, not only in my personal life, but professionally -- previously as director of media analysis at ad agency Campbell Mithun; in teaching mass media, politics and popular culture at the University of Minnesota, and in doing daily WCCO-AM radio segments.
As an editorial writer, I've opined about it, and starting today the Star Tribune has given me the honor of writing a column, the Rash Report, on the subject.
I'm not unique in noticing how the media -- society's storyteller -- is increasingly the story itself.
The Tucson tragedy ignited an important debate about our unhealthy media discourse, from toxic talk radio to anonymous, angry online comments.
Sarah Palin, the embodiment of the politics-media nexus, was riding high with best-selling books, reality TV and Fox News gigs and a formidable Facebook and Twitter following, but she had to "refudiate" (her "word of the year," according to the New Oxford American Dictionary) critics of her use of crosshairs on her online map of targeted congressional candidates.
A country apart geographically and a world apart politically, Michael Bloomberg is both New York's mayor and a media mogul. Meanwhile, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg just edged out WikiLeaks' Julian Assange to become Time's "Person of the Year."
The big screen is also reflecting the unprecedented power of media in our time. Take "The King's Speech" and "The Social Network," the top two films vying for tomorrow night's Golden Globe Award for Best Drama.
"The King's Speech" tells the story of King George VI, afflicted with a stutter just when radio (which the Brits then called "wireless") began to require royal eloquence, not just elegance. He forms an uncommon friendship with an Australian commoner, Lionel Logue, a self-taught speech therapist who tutors the Tudor, whom he calls by his nickname, "Bertie."
Stopping stuttering isn't just an act of self-improvement, but one of self-preservation; King George needs to rally beleaguered Britain against Germany. In a telling scene, after watching a newsreel of Hitler whipping a rally into madness, Elizabeth, the future queen, asks "What's he saying, daddy?" "I don't know," the king responds, "but he seems to be saying it rather well."
Saying things rather well has always been important, but modern media has given rise to a new breed of leader.
"As the media change, the expectation of communication changes, and with it our expectations of those who lead," said University of Pennsylvania Prof. Kathleen Hall Jamieson, an expert in politics and media. "What radio did was introduce the personalization of politics."
The Internet, and in particular social networks, have accelerated the rise of personality over policy. Establishing Facebook and Twitter accounts are electronic hats in the ring, and while posts and tweets are just a stray spark compared with an FDR fireside chat -- they're still enough to inflame any debate.
"The capacity to deliver an extended argument is no longer a requirement of those who lead," said Jamieson.
"The Social Network" is less about saying things well and more about how they are said. It chronicles the fight over who founded Facebook, which has wired (or, for some, obsessively roped in) about a twelfth of the planet.
Ultimately both films are fundamentally about friendship -- about how it's human, not wireless, connections that count. But the two protagonists couldn't approach things more differently.
For the king, it's the remoteness of royalty, even more than his stutter, that keeps him from connecting. That is, until he meets Lionel, who treats him like an equal -- in British slang, more "mate" than majesty. "That's what friends are for," says Lionel when the two share a drink. "I wouldn't know," sighs the king.
Commoner Zuckerberg's verbal affliction -- an acid tongue -- chases away his girlfriend, and Facebook cofounder Eduardo Saverin lashes out at him, saying, "I was your only friend," after Zuckerberg "unfriended" (2009 "word of the year") him out of what is now a $50 billion business. Unlike the king, Zuckerberg, who made "friend" a verb, can't grasp it as a noun.
Both films show how human bonds can be built or broken by the new challenges and opportunities of the new media age. Either way, the results are often consequential, and the Rash Report will be there to comment -- in print and, of course, online.
The Rash Report can be heard at 8:20 a.m. weekdays on WCCO Radio, 830-AM. Follow John Rash at @rashreport on Twitter.

Serametrix is joining forces with the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR) to develop and commercialize tests that predict and monitor drug response in cancer patients. The serum-based tests are expected to be of value to clinicians as well as drug developers.
The agreement combines LICR's discoveries in tumor immunology with Serametrix' technologies and commercial capabilities. The institute's flagship antigen, NY-ESO-1, has been licensed to Serametrix as part of this agreement. It has reportedly already shown potential as a predictor of drug response. Serametrix will add to its current array-based services a serum-profiling service dedicated solely to NY-ESO-1 antibody detection.
As part of the deal LICR will take an equity stake in Serametrix. Additionally, the director of LICR's New York branch, Lloyd Old, M.D., was appointed chairman of Serametrix' scientific advisory board.

(So I did write a short post about a new obsession a while ago, just finished it off quickly today to tide over my tv readers, I may write more about another show shortly)
I tend to be late to a good show and the pattern definitely followed to Sherlock as well, though it's not that far along yet, I caught it in time. My little brother and I were catching up on Doctor Who because we had both missed any episode after "The Snowmen" and afterwards my brother says "You should watch Sherlock, it's very Doctor Who'y." Well that wasn't very nice of him because I of course had to see for myself and quickly pulled up Sherlock on Netfilx.
I will take pause here to tell everyone how I loathe Netflix. It is my kryptonite, I can't get enough, it's always midnight and I'm saying to myself that I can watch just one more episode and then go to bed. Then it's 2am and I say to myself that was a terrible cliff hanger, just one more episode… It is the cause of many sleepless nights and many long days at work trying to keep myself awake.
Back to Sherlock now. I had seen many posts on twitter about Sherlock and how hot and good-looking and awesome Benedic Cumberbatch is, so I was looking forward to watching the show. But I gotta say, I'm kinda underwhelmed… I've always had a weird taste in guys though because I find myself drawn to Martin Freeman, a.k.a Dr. John Watson! Now Sherlock is awesome, very cool character, lots of fun and just the right amount of darkness, but I just can't help but be sympathetic towards Watson, I don't know why really.
This show is extremely well written though and the actors are amazing! I love the modern spin on the classic Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson without going extreme like the other show, Elementary. I don't like Watson as a woman, Joan, really? Boo.
Anywho I don't have anything more specific to write about this show, I am really looking forward to more and I hope it comes out soon, does anyone know when? haha
All in all, anyone who likes Doctor Who, and anyone really should definitely check out Sherlock, at least one episode, I guarantee you'll want to watch the next and the next and the next!
Thanks for reading!

"Politics, not science"
The problem with a book about rationalization of mistakes is that everything depends on your judgment of what actions were mistakes, and what explanations are mere rationalizations. If one person believes he made the right choice, but the authors disagree, then they call his explanations "rationalizations," while if the authors agree, then of course it's not rationalization at all.
The result is that it is the authors who are rationalizing their own biases, and the book is essentially worthless as anything but feel-good reassurance if your views happen to coincide exactly with the authors'.
"Real science, leading to self-examination"
No, I don't live in a house where goat-paths thread among stacks of newspapers, magazines, and assorted junk. But even as I listened to Caron's excellent reading of this well-written book, I couldn't help but notice how many of the traits of the sufferers of extreme cases of hoarding I had, or could recognize in friends and family members - though never so out-of-control. The authors never overclaim - they are genuine scientists who remain cautious and skeptical of their own tentative conclusions. The result is a book that is both fascinating and reliable. It's a happy coincidence when first rate science is done by first rate writers.

And given that they overcharged Casey Anthony in a zealous attempt to make a name for themselves, my conspiracy theory is that the prosecutor, who clearly bowed to public pressure, overcharged Zimmerman with a higher charge, so that when a jury doesn't have the evidence to convict him on this charge, they won't be able to even give him one week in prison on a lesser charge like manslaughter. My opinion: the prosecutor is doing Zimmerman a favor with this charge.

Our City on Drugs
Madison's addiction problem is an epidemic
I don't mean to be cute, but I thought I knew a thing or two about drugs. Anybody who came of age in the '60s knows a thing or two about drugs if for no other reason than we were surrounded by them, symbolically if not literally. And that includes heroin.
Although I typically associated the kingpin of all drugs with jazz musicians in the '50s, a fair number of hippies, including some well-known rock stars, experimented with heroin. Many of the experiments did not end well. But by and large somebody I knew tried everything, and we all had strong opinions one way or the other about the role of drugs in our lives and our world. There's still a temptation among some of us to lump most "recreational" drugs into the stereotypical "expand your mind" or "mellow out" excuses for uses. Even if we may not embrace them as enthusiastically or as innocently as we once did.
But after attending a drug poisoning summit in late January, along with more than a hundred doctors, nurses, cops, pharmacists, counselors, public health officials and concerned citizens, I have to admit I had no clue as to the breadth, depth, complexity and life-threatening reality of the heroin epidemic in our society—including right here in peaceful little Madison. And Oregon. And McFarland. Heroin is every-where. And it affects everybody. And it is being used by, well, just about anybody. The real eye-opener for me was the path from the internist, dentist or orthopedist to the dealer around the corner from the pawnshop. Today's heroin overdose often has its roots in a prescription for Vicodin, or mom's prescription for Vicodin. It's a rough trip.
The first thing we have to understand—as smart, drug-savvy doctors and hospice caregivers and palliative care experts will tell you—is opiates are truly wonderful, life-enhancing drugs, when correctly administered for pain. The ability to ease the pain of cancer patients or those with serious injuries is a blessing. These drugs are miracles of modern medicine. But they are powerful. On top of that they are eventually addictive. Scientists are learning more about how this works all the time and that research will help get a handle on this problem. But we're not there yet.
The second thing we have to understand is opiate overdosing is a public health problem, not a law enforcement problem. There are collateral issues to drug addiction that can involve law enforcement, but arrest and detention cannot solve the problem. Intervention, treatment and of course prevention can. Perhaps the most difficult aspect of this issue to comprehend is that the top priority is to save a life. There are drugs available to both reverse and then replace life-threatening heroin use. We've got to get those drugs to those addicts when they need them and then start the process of recovery.
Like alcohol, this is a problem deeply rooted in our culture. Most of us want to be pain-free. Too many of us want to self-medicate. Science is providing stronger pain relievers. Docs are under all kinds of pressure to prescribe them. The good ones, that is. The bad ones, the pill mills, should be closed down and thrown in jail.
There's so much more to this issue. But suffice to say the summit resulted in a commitment to continue. Thanks to Safe Communities, the right people are talking to each other and there is a new momentum for enhanced public education efforts, law enforcement policies, legislation, record keeping, treatment options and prescription policies.
During a break I overheard a counselor on the phone telling a mom there was no treatment opening for her addicted son for six weeks. If I didn't recognize the life and death nature of the issue before, I did then.

I am from central Pennsylvania and am wondering if I were to clip branches off a pussy willow bush now and place them in water, would they root? If not now, when is the best time of year to do this. Also if I would buy pussy willow branches which are blooming in stores when they become available, would they root? Thanks |

they should root now. if you buy them, cut them off a few inches up from the bottom. |
- Posted by origami_master 5b (My Page) on Sat, Feb 20, 10 at 14:41
from my own experience, I found that the older branches rooted better than young ones. I was never able to root branches from the florist, but the ones I picked from the wild always rooted. I put a piece of wet florist foam in a vase before arranging the branches (the foam helps to keep the branches oriented the right way) and you will usually see roots coming out of the foam in a about 2 weeks or less. |
- Posted by Emerogork(firstname.lastname@example.com) onTue, Jun 21, 11 at 20:16
I have read that there is a hormone in the pussy willow, and willows in general, that helps other plants to root. The method has something to do with chopping up mew growth and putting it in the water of the cutting you wish to root. Does anyone know about this? I am rooting chrysanthemums and wonder how to do it. At first I am going to take the tender sprout of the mum, strip most of the leaves and put them in water. Into the water, I plan to add ground up pussy willow bark or stem, or what ever. I will post my results if anyone is interested. If there is abetter way, let me know... If there |

WHITEFISH - U.S. Speaker of the House John Boehner was in Whitefish on Wednesday night for an invitation only fundraiser for U.S. Congressional candidate Ryan Zinke.
The Congressman from Ohio arrived around 6 p.m. at a private residence for the invitation only event.
Supporters paid $1,000 just to get in the door, $2,600 for photos, and $10,000 to participate in a VIP Roundtable discussion.
This is the second time the Boehner has visited the Flathead Valley to stump for Republican candidates.
Zinke's opponent, Democrat John Lewis wasn't far away, visiting Kalispell.
Lewis says its only a coincidence that he and Boehner were both in the Flathead, and he tells us the high-priced event is not the type of fundraising he's planning.
"Over 70% of the money we've raised is from Montana. That's something I'm very proud of. That's what we're going to continue to do. This is a Montana campaign. I'm looking for Montana support, and that's what we're focusing on," Lewis told us.
Lewis says he is traveling the state to highlight businesses that provide good-paying jobs.

Acquittal application in Trifecta continuing
Comment on this storyKimberley - Arguments on an acquittal application in the case involving Trifecta and senior ANC leaders continued in the Northern Cape High Court on Tuesday.
Judge Mathebe Phatshoane was hearing evidence in a fraud and corruption case against Northern Cape ANC heavyweights John Block, Alvin Botes and Yolanda Botha, and Trifecta director Christo Scholtz.
The National Prosecuting Authority accused the Trifecta Group of entering into a number of lease agreements with the Northern Cape department in which rentals, or rental space, were grossly inflated.
The accused have all pleaded not guilty to the charges against them or their companies.
Legal counsel for Block and Botes, Salie Joubert, started proceedings arguing in favour of the acquittal application.
He submitted that the State's inferences reached in the case must be based on facts that have been proven in court.
Joubert said the State's inferences were rather more "pie in the sky".
The court started hearing the acquittal application on Monday. - Sapa

Well, after many months of TLC, my delphinium seedlings are starting to look like something! It's mid July, and guess I should plant them. Probably won't be seeing anything til next Spring huh???? AND does anybody know why the lil guy in the corner leave is turning brown? They have been under a grow light all their life. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would say they are still too small to take their chances in the open garden, especially if you have slugs or snails. They could be gone in a night. If they have been under lights up until now did you harden them off before putting them outdoors? If not they will have been shocked by the sun and wind. I would pot them on, harden them off and and grow them on (in their pots) until they are a good deal larger before setting them out. |
- Posted by barbaraparm (My Page) on Sun, Jul 13, 14 at 9:31
I just brought them out from under the lights. How should I harden them off? Then put them in individual pots, and leave outside? |
You can repot them either before or after they are hardened off. To harden them off you need to take them outside to a shady location for an hour or so. Then back in. Increase the time each day until they are out all day and all night. They look rather wet since I can see green algae on the surface of the medium. You could ease off the water. But when you repot make sure they do have an initial good drink and drain. |

For nearly 30 years, Christian missionaries-to-be from evangelical Protestant churches in Charlotte and across the country have been coming to a 90-acre site near Carowinds in south Charlotte.
There, an international mission group called SIM USA has readied them for their overseas assignments, then sent them to spread the Gospel and help their neighbors in Africa, Asia, the Americas and Europe.
In a city thats home to high-profile megachurches, growing seminaries and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, SIM managed to go about its work with little publicity really flying under the radar, in the words of the Rev. David Chadwick, senior pastor of Forest Hill, a Charlotte church that has provided a steady supply of SIM missionaries over the years.
But two weeks ago, SIM became international news when Charlottes Nancy Writebol, a SIM missionary in Liberia, contracted the deadly Ebola virus.
Since then, SIM officials have offered daily updates on Writebols condition and stayed in contact with her husband, David, who is still in Liberia and healthy, but waiting for an Ebola incubation period to pass before he joins his wife. SIM also worked with the U.S. State Department, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Samaritans Purse, a Boone-based Christian charity, to evacuate the 59-year-old missionary to Emory Hospital in Atlanta for treatment in an isolation ward.
She was the second American with Ebola to be flown from Monrovia, Liberias capital, to Georgia, then transported to the hospital near the CDC. The first was Dr. Kent Brantly, who works for Samaritans Purse, which has a small army of public relations professionals.
SIM is new to this media glare. Its not been a priority to get ourselves known, said Fred Ely, the groups vice president. We dont have a PR department.
Whats not new for this 121-year-old organization is sending its missionaries into dangerous terrain. Many of the more than 65 countries where it operates have been plagued by war, political turmoil, terrorism or disease.
Two of the three founders of SIM both in their 20s died of malaria a year after the missionary group was launched in 1893. In the 1920s and 30s, some SIM missionaries were murdered in Ethiopia. Health workers affiliated with SIM were felled by Lassa fever the Ebola of its time in 1969. And in the past few weeks, a Liberian SIM staffer who worked at the hospital in Monrovia died after she was infected with the Ebola virus.
This goes to the root of our mission: the calling of sacrifice, said Bruce Johnson, SIM USAs president for the past five years.
New SIM missionaries do get training in security protocols. They go through orientation before they leave the United States and when they arrive in their new homes. They have health and medical evacuation insurance. And SIM field leaders in each country are tied to the closest U.S. Embassy and to their national partners, offering them layers of alerts, bulletins and evacuation recommendations, Ely said.
These people, when they go to these places, they have their eyes open, Ely added. That goes with the territory.
Sometimes things get so serious that SIM will act. When the Ebola crisis reached Monrovia recently, Ely said, SIM told its missionaries that families with young children had to go.
But what happens frequently, Ely said, is that the missionaries dont want to leave those theyve come to help.
They say, These are our brothers and sisters; we dont want to abandon them, Ely said. Emotionally, its very difficult.
When the Ebola virus broke out in West Africa earlier this year, Charlottes Calvary Church contacted Nancy and David Writebol members since 1994 and offered to bring them home.
They said: No, our place is to be here with the people God has called us to, said the Rev. Jim Cashwell, the churchs pastor of missions and evangelism. And thats been their spirit.
In an interview with the Observer, David Writebol said one of the attractions of Liberia was that it was recovering from a long civil war. We visited with missionaries who lived through that time (of war) and after, he said. We heard their concerns and pleas for the ministry there. And God just worked in our hearts: This is where I want you to go.
All over the world
What exactly is SIM?
Its a nondenominational Christian group with about 3,000 missionaries and staffers all over the world.
When it was formed in the late 19th century, its founders aim was to Christianize the heart of Africa, so SIM originally stood for Sudan Interior Mission. Later, when it broadened its scope to additional continents, SIM was shorthand for Serving in Mission. Now it is simply SIM akin to IBM.
In 1986, SIM USA moved its headquarters from the New York City area to Charlotte. The lure of the Queen City: less expensive real estate and cost of living, a growing airport on the Eastern Seaboard, and a strong Christian community.
Charlotte was a welcoming place, said Ely, one of about 100 employees who work at the SIM USA offices in south Charlotte.
Though SIM was not a household acronym to most of Charlotte, it has fostered sturdy relationships over the years with evangelical churches here that emphasize missionary work.
They have been deeply embedded in Forest Hill for some time, said Chadwick, whose nondenominational church will soon commission its latest SIM missionaries two church staffers who are headed, with their children, to Japan, a country with relatively few Christian churches.
And many of the 91 missionaries commissioned by Calvary Church including the Writebols are affiliated with SIM.
Its big, its reputable, its committed to the Gospel, and its on our doorstep, said Calvary Senior Pastor John Munro.
And, Munro said, SIM has allowed missionaries, including the Writebols, to do practical tasks, such as working in hospitals, while doing them openly in the name of Jesus.
Both are demanded by Christ, Munro said. He told us to love our neighbors as ourselves and to make disciples of all nations.
Ely said SIMs primary goal is to preach the Gospel by starting Christian churches overseas. But we do a lot of things, he added, ticking off a list that included health care, education, community development and media ministries such as Christian radio. They also teach locals to read and translate Bibles into the native language.
The Writebols went to work at SIMs compound in Monrovia in August 2013, after a total of 13 years of serving orphans and widows in Ecuador and Zambia for Rafiki a Christian missionary group based in Florida.
In Liberia, Nancy Writebol, sent to be a personnel director, also mentored nurses and sterilized medical instruments at the Eternal Love Winning Africa, or ELWA, Hospital run by SIM. David Writebol is the services manager, responsible for managing electricity, water and sanitation for the 130-acre campus, which includes the hospital, an Ebola clinic, a radio station and a school. Photos of the compound show palm trees, an Atlantic Ocean beach and rudimentary houses and buildings.
In Liberia and around the world, SIM partners with other agencies. In Monrovia, for example, Samaritans Purse with expenditures of more than $400 million in 2013 is rebuilding the ELWA hospital, which was partially burned down during the Liberian civil war.
Samaritans Purse and SIM also work side by side on a hospital project in Nigeria.
Signing up missionaries
Ely said SIM attracts a lot of second-career people finishers, theyre called internally.
Decades ago, more people became missionaries right out of college Bible college, in many cases. But today, Ely said, fewer people whove just graduated sign up for long-term stints as missionaries. He attributed that to the growing burden of student loans.
That can be an impediment because SIM missionaries are expected to raise the funds theyll need to live on during their years overseas.
Missionaries commissioned by churches have to apply with SIM. If theyre accepted, SIM staffers meet with them to come up with a realistic budget for their time on assignment.
The amount that will be needed varies fairly dramatically depending on the location and whether its urban or rural, Ely said. It can range from Japan, where costs are high, to rural Bolivia.
The size of their families is a factor in ascertaining the budget, but the actual work is not. So a doctor would be paid the same as an agricultural worker, if they are going to the same locale, Ely said.
After budgets are established, the missionaries-to-be go out and raise the money. In 2013, 61 percent of the funds came from donations from individuals and 33 percent from churches. Accounting for the rest: corporations, foundations and bequests.
All of the money is paid to SIM, Ely said, which then sends much of it out to the missionaries each month. SIM keeps an average of 14 percent of the totals to cover overhead.
In the case of the Writebols, Ely said, the monthly total is $4,600 for the couple. But when health care, taxes and overhead costs are deducted, the cash amount they receive for compensation is about half that, he said.
SIM accepts a fairly high percentage of the would-be missionaries who apply, Ely said. But they have to pass a screening process that includes reference and background checks as well as psychological assessments.
They are interviewed by psychologists who try to make sure theyre stable enough to withstand cross-cultural living, Ely said. Cross-cultural living puts all kinds of strains on people.
And because they want to be missionaries, applicants have to subscribe to SIMs Christian mission statement and demonstrate a certain level of knowledge of the Bible.
We also want a reference from their pastor saying that this is a mature believer ready to serve and participate, Ely said. We really want to look at this as a partnership with churches.
Churches often provide financial backing Calvary offers up to 25 percent of the funds its missionaries need to raise as well as spiritual and moral support.
Cashwell of Calvary Church said the Writebols were uncertain in 2013 whether they were being called by God to come back to Charlotte or to take on another missionary assignment.
It was a real time of prayer for them, and we as their church body struggled with them and started an investigation into options, Cashwell said. Several doors opened for them. But one just came to the forefront.
That was the SIM assignment in Liberia. The church even sent a team to the West African country last October to visit with the Writebols and assess the possibilities of short-term mission opportunities there for Calvary members.
Finally, Ely said, before the missionaries make their way overseas they are asked by SIM to sign standard waiver forms.
When they go to other countries, he said, they understand the risk.
Highest quality group
SIM USA gets high marks not only from pastors but also from its missionaries and from an agency that sets accountability standards for evangelical nonprofits and churches.
SIM is the highest quality organization I can imagine, said Dan Busby, president of the Virginia-based Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability, or ECFA. Id put them on a short list of organizations that year in, year out you dont hear anything bad about them.
Busby said the average of 14 percent overhead SIM retains from the money raised by missionaries is within the 10 to 20 percent range that ECFA often sees.
And he called the practice of sending all the money raised by missionaries to SIM to administer and pay out a legitimate process thats widely recognized.
SIM, which has been a member in good standing with ECFA since 1986, is a tax-exempt religious nonprofit. The IRS offers it the further designation of a religious order, which Ely said means it effectively qualifies as a church.
That means that SIM is not required to file 990 tax forms with the IRS. Typically, in the case of churches, that shields much financial information including the salary of the pastor or president from the public.
SIM USA made financial audits available to the Observer but would not reveal the salary of Bruce Johnson, its 63-year-old president.
Crisis draws more people
Nancy Writebols illness and SIMs public efforts to get her treatment have raised the groups profile.
More people are going to the missions website ( www.simusa.org). There, they can get updates on Writebols condition and are invited to pray for her.
All the news reports about Writebols plight and what could prove to be a multimillion-dollar evacuation have also spurred more people to offer assistance.
During this situation, weve sent out no appeals, Ely said. But weve had a lot of people calling to say, How can I help? ...Weve got a long history of seeing God provide for our needs through his people.

A Blue Apron Experiment: Vegan Chickpea Burgers
13 Aug
I've been hearing about so many meal-kit services lately but haven't tried any, although I did buy a box from Saffron Fix recently. My friend Rupa Badlani told me that she'd been experimenting with Blue Apron and that so far, although it took longer than expected, the recipes turned out good. Since Blue Apron posts all of its recipes online, I decided to try out a few recipes on my own. I first tried the Fresh Gnocchi & Maitake Mushrooms – my hubby really liked it and I thought it was good too but it was a huge pain to find all of the ingredients, especially the maitake mushrooms. I then tried the Chickpea Veggie Burgers and OMG – they were AMAZING! So amazing that we had them for dinner, lunch the next day, and again and again every day thereafter. Below is my review in detail including my modified recipe.
* * *
- For aioli:
- 2 tbsp. mayonnaise
- ½ garlic clove, finely chopped
- ¼ of a lemon, juiced
- 2 basil leaves, chopped
- a drizzle of olive oil
- salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- For patties:
- 6 oz. silken tofu, whisked until smooth
- ½ cup cooked chickpeas, mashed by hand
- 1 tbsp. chia seeds
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp. chopped shallot
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 5 basil leaves, chopped
- oil
- 1/8 tsp. salt & few spins of freshly ground black pepper
- For the burgers:
- potato rolls / burger buns
- toppings (lettuce, pickles, grilled onions, tomatoes, etc.)
- For aioli: In a bowl, mix the above-listed aioli ingredients.
- For patties: In a bowl, combine the above-listed patty ingredients, except for the oil. Using your hands, form the mixture into patties. My mixture made 5 patties. Note: They should be a little smaller than the size of your bun.
- Heat a non-stick flat pan on medium and lightly brush oil on the pan. Cook patties for about 2-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and firm.
- Grill or toast the buns. Spread some aioli on each of the buns, add the chickpea patty, and any additional toppings. My favorite is grilled onions.
- The patties are eggless but hold together SO well! I was very impressed.
- The recipe says the mixture forms 2 patties, but I formed 5!
- I added grilled onions to my burger.
- I used a pan for everything since I do not own a grill.
Thank you to my twinsie & fellow vegetarian food blogger Karishma from The Mess I Make for gifting me the beautiful props from today's shoot!

Congrats Su-Wei! :D
Her next match should be interesting...
Jan 25th, 2002, 02:47 PM
Su-Wei just made Svetlana hit one more shot all the time.
She ran down so many balls it flustered Sveta, she was either hitting them for clean winners or making UE's.
Very close match in all though but it could have been so different if Sveta hadn't missed two BP's to come back to 5-5 in set 1 from two breaks down.
Running balls down is very tiring and if you can do it , boy does it piss your opponent off.
Jan 25th, 2002, 03:24 PM
Yes, Su Wei is very good at that :D . She is so fast on the court :D . Only problems she had had (against de Los Rios) were on drop shots : she would arrive well in time to hit the ball but would not know how to handle it.
Looks like she hasn't had enough of tennis today as she is playing doubles now (she and her partner won the first set!).
Jan 25th, 2002, 03:34 PM
Great win Su-Wei!
I was watching the scoreboard in between the ladies doubles final and the men's semis
her service speeds were rather slow...some not even in 100kph range...but she's young and she has time to work on it.
Jan 25th, 2002, 03:43 PM
hmmm the stats do show that Su-Wei can give the serve some ommph when she needs it
fastest serve - 147kph
avg. 1st serve - 119kph
avg 2nd serve - 101 kph
1st serve points won:53%
2nd serve points won:43%
for her match today
Jan 25th, 2002, 04:15 PM
great win Su-Wei!

The purpose of the registration regime appears to be to criminalize anonymity. This is essential for the effective enforcement of this law which criminalizes saying hurtful things about public officials.

What do you mean by "controlled?" This sounds like an anecdotal correlation at best, which does not prove the existence of an effective police state.
Re:Facebook lied in their privacy policy. (170 comments)
I'm not so sure. They clearly state that they receive messages in the "information we receive about you" section, and then clearly state that they use the information that they receive to "measure or understand the effectiveness of ads you and others see, including to deliver relevant ads to you"

and on mac it uses the keychain to store things...? I'm starting to see why this may actually be a non-issue
Re:This is also the case on Firefox (482 comments)
Answering my own question - this is a non-issue (it seems). Chrome apparently uses an API (at least on windows) to use account info to encrypt the passwords which presumably is only available if the user has actually logged in.
Re:This is also the case on Firefox (482 comments)
Locked, unlocked, what's the difference? If you're not using whole disk encryption, what good is locking going to do if someone steals your computer? Removing user account passwords from systems tends to be rather trivial...
Re:Desktop Replacement? (55 comments)
Fair enough. I would buy the argument that it will be 'soon.'
Re:Desktop Replacement? (55 comments)
Sure but this is supposed to be targeted at power users (the whole F1 metaphor). How do the specs of the Edge compare to your current or even last primary workstation?
Desktop Replacement? (55 comments)
It seems to me like the real purpose of a device like the edge is to replace your desktop hardware. Is that really possible yet?
Incentives? (336 comments)
Aside from the question of how and when to update the 'time and motion' study data, does this setup the right incentives for the industry? It essentially says 'we will set the benchmark for adequate, and then you try to do whatever you can to beat it economically.' If the revenue at the margin is fixed, the way to drive profit is to decrease costs as much as possible. Of course, the benefits are not passed on to the consumer if the price fixer is asleep at the switch...
Is it just me (140 comments)

What about a provision that says you are only allowed to run this software on hardware that I have sold you? Or a provision that says you can watch this media any time within the next 24 hours?
Re:This is easy... (447 comments)
It's unclear at best what effects license terms can have on the 'first sale doctrine.' Hopefully that will be clarified by congress at some point.
Re:Bias (447 comments)
I dont think purveyors of DRM systems view them as being flawless. The point is not to make it impossible to pirate content but to make it inconvenient enough that the average consumer wont do it.
Re:Bias (447 comments)
there is no reason those shouldn't work on players in other regions.
Other than, of course, that the company which produced the content wants to sell it that way and today has the right to do so.
Re:Current method lends itself to monopolies (447 comments)
The steep curve here is content licensing not distribution technology. All of their current implementations / platforms will become obsolete long before their potential competitors will have a crack at getting the same content on their platforms.
Re:This is easy... (447 comments)
Or the legislation is outdated. AFAIK the big DRM users (Netflix, Amazon, Apple, etc) are not doing anything illegal with it.
We are looking for a few things. Developers can provide us with real-world feedback on the design of our API which is crucial for its long-term success. Does our API capture the right information, and is it structured in a way that will enable developers to leverage it quickly and effectively? We also want to test out the mechanics of our Open model. What support structures do we need to have in place to engage the community effectively? There are likely applications and features that we have not thought of but that the community would make good use of. What would motivate a developer to build an app that leverages our API? Where can we add value to the ecosystem, and how can we refine our approach so that it is a "win" for everyone involved?

During the Currigan dinner, while Virgil was deciding to join the Morman church, Rosa Linda was having her own epiphany. "I was pregnant with Eric, and there wasn't enough money, and all I could think about was these people doing things for other people. I thought, if I could, I wanted to do that," she says. "I went home and became the chairman of the Head Start in our neighborhood, even though I only spoke a kind of broken English. I went to all the meetings and stood right up there in front of the room so I wouldn't miss anything."
A few weeks later, while Rosa Linda worked in her front yard, she was approached by a neighbor who asked if she would like to attend a meeting of a Highlands residents' group. She went, and accepted a position on the neighborhood council. At home that night, Virgil asked what her new title meant. "I'm not sure," Rosa Linda replied, "but it's going to be great."
That's how Virgil got the idea of starting his own restaurant and naming it after his wife. "I thought, everybody knows her, it will be easy," he recalls.
In fact, it wasn't easy at all. When the restaurant opened in 1985, Rosa Linda's had to serve food continuously from nine in the morning until three the following morning just to make ends meet. There wasn't enough money to hire waiters or cooks, so the restaurant was staffed entirely by Aguirres. Oscar, who was fourteen at the time, remembers a typical day's schedule. "I went to middle school, came home and did homework till about nine, went to the restaurant to help my father clean up, and then woke up and did it all again," he says. "After I graduated from high school, I wanted to hang out at nightclubs, and my dad let me leave at 9:30--but I had to be back at 1:30 to handle the bar rush. People ask me how come I didn't get involved in drugs and gangs. Hey, ask me when I had the time."
As business increased, the restaurant's hours decreased. Today Virgil has three part-time employees. But all Aguirre hands are on deck for Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve when, true to their word, Rosa Linda and Virgil feed any hungry person who cares to show up. The first year, 90 came. Last year there were nearly 900, served by 120 volunteers. The publicity that always attended the late Daddy Bruce's similar meals has eluded the Aguirres, but that doesn't bother them. "No," says Virgil, "because at the end of that kind of day, I feel happy." This afternoon Virgil's second-oldest son, also named Virgil but known as Junior, goes straight from North High School to Rosa Linda's. A senior, he has been waiting tables since he was thirteen. During any lulls today, he will do his creative-writing homework; he, too, has hopes of becoming a journalist. Junior greets his father with a gentle "ÀQui pasa, viejo?" and a kiss. He is softer-spoken than Oscar, who has just blazed in, dressed in his trademark pleated pants and silk shirt, and is already yelling about what's going on, where are his sisters, any calls for him? (If a drunk becomes obnoxious while eating at Rosa Linda's, it is Oscar who kicks him out.) Oscar goes off to look for his sisters in his new Geo Tracker. Outside on the sidewalk, where two outdoor tables have been set up, youngest brother Eric throws around a baseball.
A few minutes later eight-year-old Esmerelda and Linda, now in sixth grade, jump out of Oscar's car and run into the restaurant. "Teacher pinned up my paper on the wall today," Linda tells her father, with journalistic pride. "She told me it was really good. I just used the spelling words and it all fit together."
"We must have it in the blood," Virgil decides.
"It's a thing we have," Oscar says. "I was raised and born in it. Maybe I sound cocky, but I'm bilingual and I can communicate with both worlds. That's what I have to offer." He stops to greet another longtime customer. "How you doin', bud? Long time, man, long time. You want a table?" When he returns he says, "Restaurant work sucks. Why do you think I'd rather be a reporter?"
Since enrolling in Metro State's journalism program three years ago, Oscar has won the Greeley Tribune Hispanic student journalist award --with an essay about his grandfather--and worked as a radio producer. He likes to imagine a future in which he is a war correspondent, in Europe, perhaps, with a briefcase full of clips and writing awards. But the newspaper closest to his heart is his grandfather's, and the family often speculates that Oscar will turn out just like Beto.
When Oscar hears that, he rolls his eyes. "Until recently," he points out, "my grandfather was an alkie. He always smelled like cigarettes and beer, and he was always loud. We've never been close, but we serve a purpose to each other, and it's true that he's always been there for me. And he's right about what a newspaper should be. All my life I've sat in discussions about how are we going to revive the newspaper. I can't help wanting to revive it, too."
