The American Baptist Churches USA (ABCUSA) is a Baptist Christian denomination within the United States. The denomination maintains headquarters in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. The organization is usually considered mainline, although varying theological and mission emphases may be found among its congregations, including modernist, charismatic and evangelical orientations.[1] It traces its history to the First Baptist Church in America (1638) and the Baptist congregational associations, which organized the Triennial Convention in 1814. From 1907 to 1950, it was known as the Northern Baptist Convention, and from 1950 to 1972, as the American Baptist Convention.
In 2009, the denomination had 1,310,505 members in 5,402 churches.[2] The ABCUSA is a member of the National Council of Churches, the Baptist World Alliance and the World Council of Churches.
Roger Williams established the First Baptist Church in Providence (now the First Baptist Church in America) in 1638. Regarded by the Puritans of the Massachusetts Bay Colony as a heretic for his Religious Separatism, Williams was banished into the New England wilderness where he and his followers created the settlement of Providence and later, the colony of Rhode Island. Williams is credited with being the founder of the Baptist movement in America, the founder of the state of Rhode Island, and the first highly visible public leader in America to call for the separation of church and state.
Having a congregational polity, early Baptist churches in America operated independently from one another, following an array of Protestant theological paths, but were often unified in their mission to evangelize. In the 18th century, they sometimes created local congregational associations for support, fellowship, and work (such as the founding of Brown University). The evangelical mission led to the establishment of the national Triennial Convention in 1814, a collaborative effort by local churches to organize, fund, and deploy missionaries. The ABCUSA descends from this Triennial Convention. Through the Triennial Convention structure a number of mission-oriented societies were formed, including the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society (1814), American Baptist Home Mission Society (1832), American Baptist Publication Society (1841), and the American Baptist Education Society (1888).
In 1845 a majority of Baptists in the South withdrew support from the Triennial Convention, largely in response to the decision of the Triennial Convention delegates to ban slave holders from becoming ordained missionaries, and formed the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). The Triennial Convention was loosely structured, and the SBC offered Baptists a more centralized organizational structure for carrying on missionary and benevolent work. In contrast, however, the Triennial Convention afforded local churches a higher degree of local autonomy, a more traditional characteristic of Baptist polity. The majority of churches in the North continued to work through these separate cooperating societies for missions and benevolence. The societies were united under the umbrella of a unified convention in 1907.
The Northern Baptist Convention was founded in Washington, D.C. on May 17, 1907. Charles Evans Hughes, the governor of New York and later Chief Justice of the United States, served the body as its first president. The purpose of the Northern Baptist Convention was to bring about a consistent cooperation among the separate Baptist bodies then existing. It was the first step in bringing together Baptists in the North "with ties to the historic American Baptist mission societies in the nineteenth century."[3] These had contributed to establishing many schools for freedmen in the South after the American Civil War, as well as working on issues of health and welfare. Many of their missionaries and members had worked as teachers in the South. Soon after it was founded, most of the churches of the Free Will Baptist General Conference merged with it in 1911.
The name of the Convention was changed in 1950 to the American Baptist Convention (ABC), and it operated under this name until 1972. It was the second step at bringing together on a national level Baptists with ties to the mission societies. The ABC was characterized from 1950–66 with annual resolutions at its conventions having to do with the Civil Rights Movement and race relations.
Without exception, these resolutions were progressive and genuinely encompassing. They addressed both the need for individual change in attitude and action, and the need for broader social change that could only be instituted through political action.[3]
As in many cases, the rhetoric of the annual conventions was sometimes ahead of local activity, but the denomination gradually made progress. In 1964 it created the Baptist Action for Racial Brotherhood (BARB), which early the next year produced a pamphlet outlining actions for change in local churches. In 1968 the national convention was challenged by "Black American Baptist Churchmen Speak To the American Baptist Convention," demands that challenged how the denomination had "conducted its business relative to black American Baptists."[3] The black churchmen said the Convention had excluded them from decisionmaking positions, even while working with good intentions on behalf of black American Baptists. The following year, Dr. Thomas Kilgore Jr., pastor of the Second Baptist Church of Los Angeles, was elected the first black president of the Convention. The 1968 Convention also voted to create the Study Commission on Denominational Structure (SCODS). Its recommendations changed the denomination of a variety of ways, after being adopted at the 1972 Convention.[3]
To reflect its new structure, the Convention in 1972 changed its name to the American Baptist Churches USA. Rather than relying on decisionmaking at the annual Convention by whichever churches happened to send delegates, the SCODS restructuring resulted in the following:
A General Board was composed of duly elected representatives from geographically designated districts. Three-fourths of those representatives would be elected by the American Baptist regional bodies; one-fourth would be elected as at-large representatives, or in the official terminology, "Nationally Nominated Representatives." These representatives would be "chosen so as to provide the necessary balance among the Representatives in respect of racial/ethnic inclusiveness, geographic area, age, gender, and desirable skills.[3]

American Baptists believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God and the final authority in matters of faith.[4] The ABCUSA affirms the Trinity, that the one God exists as three persons in complete unity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. They confess Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord through whom those who believe can have fellowship with God. He died, taking on the sins of the world, and was resurrected, triumphing over sin and death.[5]
ABCUSA churches recognize two ordinances: Believer's baptism and the Lord's Supper. Baptism is by immersion, and those being baptized must be of an age to understand its significance. Believing in the priesthood of all believers, the ABCUSA avoids using creeds, affirming the freedom of individual Christians and local churches to interpret scripture as the Holy Spirit leads them. The ABCUSA affirms the ordination of women.[5]
The American Baptists Churches USA has a congregationalist polity emphasizing local church autonomy. Local churches are organized into 35 regions. The General Board makes policy for the denomination's national agencies.[6] However, General Board resolutions are not binding on local congregations. Three-fourths of the representatives to the General Board are nominated and elected by the regions. One-fourth of the representatives are nominated by the Nominating Committee and are elected by the regions. The General Secretary executes the policies and decisions of the General Board. A. Roy Medley is ABCUSA's General Secretary.
A substantial portion of the ABCUSA consists of African-American churches that may have joint affiliations with the ABCUSA and historic bodies such as the National Baptist Convention or the Progressive National Baptist Convention.
In 2006, the American Baptist Churches USA reported 1,371,278 members in 5,659 churches.[2] Membership remained fairly steady during the 20th century. In 1925, there were just over 1.4 million members. Membership peaked in the early 1980s at around 1.6 million.[2] Congregations are concentrated in the Midwest and Northeast United States.[7]
There are a number of universities and colleges affiliated with the ABCUSA. There are ten seminaries affiliated with the American Baptist Churches USA:

Watch up the sky... don't you see?
Night Ride Across the Caucasus
Words and music by Loreena McKennitt
"Ride on Through the night Ride on
Ride on Through the night Ride on
There are visions, there are memories
There are echoes of thundering hooves
There are fires, there is laughter
There's the sound of a thousand doves
In the velvet of the darkness
By the silhouette of silent trees
they are watching waiting
They are witnessing life's mysteries
Cascading stars on the slumbering hills
They are dancing as far as the sea
Riding o'er the land, you can feel its gentle hand
Leading on to its destiny
Take me with you on this journey
Where the boundaries of time are now tossed
In cathedrals of the forest
In the words of the tongues now lost
Find the answers, ask the questions
Find the roots of an ancient tree
Take me dancing, take me singing
I'll ride on till the moon meets the sea"
I thank you all in advance for all the faves!

This stuff feels very oily and slimy.
Buy it only if you need some cheap eyeshadow to use for playing around with.
I have this in portobello, and it's a really sheer, shimmery cream - kind of like lipbalm. In the container it looks gold, and once on it shows up a lot lighter, sort of a shimmery beige.
It's so versatile - it can be used on the eyes, cheeks, lips, anywhere! The only reason why i marked it down was the smell.. it smells terrible. Like of like.. play dough.
But for $5 (australian), who cares =)
Layer these with powder shadows for intensity and staying power. These are my little secret when it comes to my eye make-up. I have the gold and silver, so they go with anything. The metallic eye shadow still shows through, which makes the powder shadow look more dramatic and have more dimension. Try it! So pretty. :)
I got this in "Equinox" (black with silver shimmer) a while ago while looking for a dark cream shadow formula. It looks nice in the package but upon application it's crease city within about an hour. Way too sheer and glittery, with a vaseline-like texture, to even be used as a base.
This stuff doesn't last very long at all....but c'mon, THAT'S obvious...it's eye GLOSS. I have it in portobello and it looks gorgeousssssss............while its on. I don't mind reapplying it though, just a little swipe with my fingertip and my brown eyes instantly brighten. Great spring/summery look.
i have this in portabello (champagne gold sheen)...instead of using this as an actual eyeshadow....i dot a bit under my eyes (to brighten) and along my cheekbones...bam... nice dewy finish.... i'd buy again for this reason alone
This stuff is just ok. I have it in Hoxton and it's a very pretty color, but it goes on very sheer and is not very long lasting at all. It also creases a lot, but that's to be expected. I like that it's not too glittery.
ugh. disgusting. slimy. little color when you try to apply it. love Rimmel products, but this product needs to go away.
i got this in Soho. a pink shimmery pearlecent shade which i think is a very pretty color. it works great as a highlighter under the eyebrow. on the eyelids it really opens up my eyes making it look bigger... for like uumm 2 mins then it creases like nobody's business. if you have oily eyelids dont even bother with this. and since it's rimmel, you can already expect a very flimsy packaging.

So begins The Living Reed, Pearl S. Buck's epic historical novel about four generations of one aristocratic family in Korea. Through the story of the Kims, Buck traces the country's journey from the late nineteenth century through the end of the Second World War. The chronicle begins as the Kims live comfortably as advisors to the Korean royal family. That world is torn apart with the Japanese invasion, when the queen is killed and the Kims are thrust into hiding. Regarded by Buck as "the best among my Asian books," The Living Reed is a gripping account of a nation's fight for survival, and a detailed portrait of one family's entanglement in the ebb and flow of history. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the author's estate.

Heroic Bisexuals Win Lawsuit Over Gay Softball League Who Banned Them For Being Straight, Get Their Second Place Trophy Back
AP – A gay softball organization has agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to three players who were disqualified from its 2008 Gay Softball World Series in the Seattle area because of their perceived heterosexuality. And as part of the settlement announced Monday, their team will get its second-place trophy back. Stephen Apilado, Laron Charles and John Russ, sued the North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance, claiming they had been discriminated against. Rumors had persisted that their San Francisco-based team was stacked with straight ringers, so others filed a protest. The men had to answer personal questions in a room full of strangers and were told their claims of bisexuality weren't good enough. The organization says bisexual players are welcome and it regrets the impact the protest hearing had on the men.
"But I swear to God I totally just blew a guy last week!"
"At the…uh…Rusty…Penis. I-In the bathroom of the Rusty Penis."
"Was his name Rochelle?"
"Doesn't count. Rochelle used to be a chick."
How insanely prejudice is the North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance? Bisexual players don't count? Talk about double standards. If a man only puts cocks in his mouth sometimes as opposed to putting cocks in his mouth all the time, that man still has the right to consider himself gay. No bones about it. Doesn't matter how much pussy he gets in the meantime. Those cocks still count!
Take this as an example, gays: your days of intimidation are over. Straights and bi's aren't gonna take this shit anymore. You can't just throw out heterosexual accusations and steal second place softball trophies without facing some sort of consequence.
Thanks Jeff

I'm a very terrible blogger and have weird superstitions when it comes down to typing entries about love and Leisa. Don't
get me wrong, I adore sharing my thoughts,
(few of my thoughts are rubbish, but most
which are worth pondering over, are sprung from
and involve Leisa)just not SOO pooblikly. :). Afraid of getting jinxed?!
Maybe. Okay, most definitely, YES!
It's so simple. Us two, we're past being in love,
After touring about the forts, we strolled through
the art and craft exhibits, and on the same night
there was a performance held by
the much famed Talvin Singh (on the Tabla) and
Shujaat Khan (on the Sitaar)in one of the courtyards
at the Ajmer Fort. It was an absolutely
breathtaking experience, if you'd like more info on

A Girl Like You
Pete Yorn
I'll look into her green eyes
And know that she'll come with me
A girl like you
Too many
Things I do not care for
But one thing that I adore
Is a girl like you
I'll always try
To look you in the eye
It's okay
With a girl like you
I think I'll tell you something
The thing that I haven't said
To a girl like you
And even if
The distance is obviously cruel. For me and her, we try to talk as much as possible and to convey our love through odd ways--a t-shirt, a game, voices recorded on a Dictaphone cassette. lol. Things that one doesn't truly take pleasure in when the distance doesn't exist. You can always make someone feel special in spite of the distance. Nevertheless, I'm sure we're going to try to bridge the gap as frequently as possible, because in spite of everything, we have to feel each other's presence as a whole.
Basics --
1. What do you most like about your body?: eyes, nose lips
2. And least?: stomach, hips
3. How many fillings do you have?: none
4. Do you think you're good looking?: I
So I was sitting on the shit pot this morning, just stretching my arms as usual. Only, this time I pulled a fucking nerve between my right shoulder and neck. It hurts, it hurts like an elephant. This is not good. Remedies are always appreciated :).
I find myself ogling through the kitchen window to see if he's pulled over in the court. Maybe he'll get stuck in traffic half way home or see my baby picture. I could really use some help preventing a tornado righ now. Something to squeeze the chaos out of him.
I need to start reading books. I feel as if I'm advancing to illiteracy . I need a break from dullsville. I could use a little fish story. Any recommendations?

Canon has launched its latest semi-pro full frame DSLR, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II.
The new 21.1 megapixel full frame DSLR continues in the original 5D's footsteps as a lower-cost alternative to Canon's top tier professional models, emphasizing its suitability for shooters in the wedding, studio, and portrait/commercial markets as well as amateurs looking for a camera with serious horsepower at a lower price.
New Sensor Technologies
Building on the technological successes of the original 5D, the second-generation utilizes a very familiar looking 21 megapixel sensor that boasts the same pixel size as the imager used in Canon's 1Ds studio camera. Some slight tweaks to the imager's color filter, however, promise improved light transmission and color fidelity, as well as more responsive high-sensitivity performance.
Fourteen-bit A/D conversion is expected for a high-end professional/semi-pro application, but Canon also claims that simultaneously four-channel data reading with the Mark II provides a 2.2x image processing speed increase when compared to the original 5D.
It's been a race to the top of late in terms of full frame sensor ISO capabilities, and the Mark II joins the fray with an imager capable of a very competitive ISO 100-6400 in normal mode. Two expansion options at the top end also allow for full-resolution shooting at the equivalent of ISO 12,800 (in H1) and ISO 25,600 (in H2), putting the 5D Mark II on equal footing with its new full frame rival from Nikon, the D700.
Finally, recognizing that some shooters - wedding photographers, for instance - tend to prefer raw captures to JPEGs but may not require 20-plus megapixels of resolution, the Mark II is capable of capturing two levels of lower-resolution raw images in addition to the usual array of file types.
DIGIC IV Processing, Nine-Point AF
DIGIC IV processing brings appreciable speed increases and Canon's latest imaging technologies to the new model, and it's interesting to note just how many "advanced amateur" features have made their way up into this space once clearly targeted to professional shooters looking for more cost-effective equipment options. Most notably, the Mark II gets a "Creative Auto" mode similar to the implementation used in the 50D. Built with accessibility in mind, CA mode centralizes basic exposure control and allows the users to select exposure parameters using non-photographic terms (slider style on-screen controls labeled "Background Blurry/Background Sharper" instead of "Aperture", for instance).
Creative Auto Mode screen shot, EOS 50D
Pros and advanced amateurs will also appreciate some of the other interface-side benefits of DIGIC IV, including a lens peripheral correction function that automatically corrects vignetting when shooting with one of 26 lenses for which data has been pre-loaded (users can also add correction data for other lenses). Canon's Auto Lighting Optimizer as implemented in the 50D is migrated up to the latest 5D as well, as has a four-step (off, low, normal, and strong) noise reduction system that allows shooters to balance smoothing and noise differently for different shots or situations.
The 5D Mark II's focusing system is similar in setup to the one seen in the 50D, with nine primary focus points and six assist points doing the heavy lifting for AF shooting. Micro-focus correction can be used to fine-tune focusing sharpness on a lens by lens basis.
Shooting speed for the second-generation 5D has improved slightly as well, to a claimed 3.9 fps for unlimited full-res/highest quality JPEGs (or 14 raw captures).
HD Movie Capture
The Mark II's bombshell technology, though, is undoubtedly its ability to record movies in full HD (1920x1080/30 fps), making Canon's latest EOS only the second DSLR with any kind of movie recording functionality and the most high-spec to date in terms of captured resolution.
A sub-function of the 5D Mark II's live view mode, the new 5D's movie recording mode even allows for the use of the live view system's contrast detection auto focus technology while capturing video (though given that all focusing noises will be picked up while recording, Canon still recommends manually focusing instead whenever possible).
Capture length is limited only by a 6 GB file size cap - working out to around 12 minutes of HD video recording with sound, or twice that in standard-definition recording. A "movie snap" function even allows you to record a full-res image while shooting video.
Those looking to do more involved video work with the 5D Mark II's movie capabilities will also be happy to note that the new model sports a jack for adding an external stereo microphone.
High-Res Display, Huge Viewfinder
The 5D Mark II brings a predictably high level of specification to its display as well, sporting a 3.0 inch LCD with 920,000 dots of resolution and triple coatings that protect against scratches, minimize glare, and resist smudging.
In addition to a live view video capture mode, shooters can also utilize this large screen to capture still images via the Mark II's live view system - which is now accessed through its own dedicated button as on the 50D. Contrast detection auto focus can be employed in live view to allow focusing without a screen blackout period, and the replacement 5D's built-in face detection system recognizes up to 35 faces in a frame.
If live view's not your speed, the Mark II also brings an optical viewfinder that comes stocked with one of the most impressive we've seen outside of a top-tier professional camera: 98 percent coverage. With a 21mm eyepoint, this finder may be poised to take top honors in its class for usability, clarity, and brightness.
In addition to excellent viewfinder and display specs, the Mark II's built-in HDMI port makes it easy to connect the camera to an HDTV for viewing picture and movies.
Rugged Design and Construction
Similar in basic form to the current 5D, the Mark II version provides slightly improved weather sealing, making the new iteration even more attractive for commercial applications. Improved shutter life puts the latest system at a 150,000 click duty cycle, and a sensor dust removal system is now integrated into the 5D.
Canon has also improved battery life numbers and overall performance on the 5D: the Mark II is now able to grab 850 shots on a single charge. A new battery grip doubles the 5D's capacity. Shooters will also appreciate the decision to add detailed battery life information - shown as a percentage of power remaining - to the 5D's interface, with the camera able to accurately report battery life all the way down to one percent.
A single UDMA-compliant CompactFlash slot supports file storage needs.
Overview, Availability, and Pricing
In a trend that we've reported on since the release of the Nikon D700, falling prices and more broadly focused specs are making full frame, semi-pro cameras increasingly attractive to amateur shooters. In the case of the 5D Mark II, Canon has decided to openly target this audience with features like Creative Auto shooting, HD movie capture, and other 50D-derived technologies.
While it may be a little disconcerting for some working pros to learn that their next camera will have a face detection system built in, there's no denying that the 5D packs a fair share of serious technology, too. That said, a side-by-side comparison of the first- and second-generation versions of this camera suggests that many of the upgrades have been squarely aimed a broadening the 5D's appeal.
A few weeks ago, we published an editorial piece outlining improvements we'd like to see in the next 5D. As actually released, the 5D Mark II hit many of those (faster shooting, excellent viewfinder and LCD), but did leave a few crucial points (the desire for a more advanced AF system, primarily) unanswered. In the general consensus around here, however, the most important spec for this camera, given its broad advanced amateur market targeting, is its price.
On this score, the new 5D Mark II hits a home run, with an MSRP of $2699 for the body only, or $3499 with Canon's 24-105mm lens.
If you're a Canon fan, get those checkbooks ready: the 5D Mark II is expected to touch down in stores in November.

Nutrient to Know: Potassium
by Dana Angelo White in Nutrients to Know, July 15, 2010
Your muscles just wouldn't be the same without this mineral. Most folks know there's potassium in bananas, but you might be surprised where else you can find this powerful electrolyte.
What Is It?
The body relies on potassium for nerve impulses and muscle contraction (including your most important muscle, the heart). It also acts as an electrolyte (along with sodium, calcium, chloride and magnesium) to help maintain proper fluid balance. Your body likes to maintain steady levels of this nutrient so your kidneys work hard to keep blood levels stable.
Why Is It Good For You?
In order for your heart to beat and the rest of your muscles to work properly, you need potassium around. In the event of serious deficiencies, heart arrhythmias may occur.
Research has also found that adequate intake of potassium can benefit blood pressure and bone health. As if all this wasn't enough, this mineral also helps breakdown carbohydrates for energy.
Where Can I Find It?
Luckily potassium is found in a wide variety of fruits and vegetables as well as some nuts, dairy products, fish, beans, and grains. Healthy adults want to aim to get about 3,500 milligrams of potassium per day. People that suffer from kidney disease should talk to their doctor about how much potassium they should be taking in.
Foods Packed with Potassium
1 medium baked potato = 926 milligrams (26%)
1 medium baked sweet potato = 694 milligrams (20%)
1/2 cup prunes = 637 milligrams (18%)
1 cup plain, nonfat yogurt = 579 milligrams (17%)
3 ounces cooked halibut = 490 milligrams (14%)
1 medium banana = 422 milligrams (12%)
1/2 cup cooked spinach = 420 milligrams (12%)
1 cup raisin bran cereal = 362 milligrams (10%)
1 medium orange = 237 milligrams (7%)
1 ounce almonds = 200 milligrams (6%)

Newsweek's Failed Strategy
May 12, 2010
I've seen so many otherwise smart people fall victim to launching tactics without formulating a strategy. It seems like Meacham chose to put his tactic into play without finding a strategy that spoke to the Newsweek audience. It's not always conceit that is the root cause of this. But often in the news business it's easy for newspeople to come up with "the idea" (tactic) and force it on the market rather than letting marketers come up with a plan that addresses the needs of the audience. Often the idea is doomed from the start since it's based on something other than market need.
Great post, as always, Greg. Thanks.

I think that editors often fail to take a "Cartesian view" (i.e. assume that their perceptions are invalid until verified). In my experience working with publications, it's one of the hardest things to make them understand.
Although, it must be said, marketers fall into the same trap often as well.

May 12, 2010
Very interesting article and great insight Greg.
My area is Change Management (a name I'm not fond of but that's what is in the ether!). Most CEOs, MDs, etc fall into the trap you outlined for Jon Meachem. Whether they believe it or not, they often act as if (a) they're infallible (b) they understand what the market wants because hey, its what they want and (c) if they build it, they will come. As your example portrays, it doesn't necessarily work like that.
What is also important but doesn't get a lot of airtime is the fact that when people (academics and commentators in particular) promote a strategic approach, they can find any amount of 'successful case-studies' to 'prove' their particular strategy. So if, in your 'successful case-studies', you like the CEO as hero, innovator, leader, contrarian – take your pick – or the CEO as enabler, team-player, social philosopher – again take your pick – you (and they) can find examples to support those approaches.
On the flip side, you can find 'failed case-studies' to do something similar but where I think your example wins from a learning perspective Greg is how the 'situational' element determines success or failure of a particular strategic (or tactical) approach. Your comparisons/contrasts to the other Models delivers the key learnings as opposed to the often cursory and usually lazy commentary often to be found in the 'CEO is a hero' if the business is successful or 'a prize chump' if unsuccessful, with no research into all other attendant factors.
To take the thinking further, hindsight is 20:20 vision. Every case-study is presented as a series of facts and when you get to the last paragraph the success or failure is analysed based upon the actions taken or not taken. Once the outcome is known, it becomes relatively easy to say "oh this went wrong because.." or "that was the key to success". In this case Greg, the ego of the CEO does appear to be to blame. What would be really insightful would be if Mr Meachem actually outlined the thinking behind the failed strategy – then we would get in to some real learning and insight!
Greg Reply:
May 12th, 2010 at 9:37 pmRobert,
Thanks for writing such a thoughtful comment.
Just for the record, Meacham wasn't the CEO, but the Editor-in-Chief. I think the failure was that it was an editorial strategy without any serious marketing or sales input. He was quite clear about why he thought the strategy was the right one, he just had his facts wrong.

May 12, 2010
I also blogged about this on my business journalism review blog, SeanReadsTheNews, last week. My impression is that Newsweek tried to make who was writing as important as the news they reported with mixed results editorially and straight-out disaster economically.
My post is here: http://seanreadsthenews.typepad.com/seanreadsthenews/2010/05/new-york-times-newsweek-for-sale.html
May 12, 2010
Our family had been a Newsweek subscriber for about 50 years, so we've been through lots of changes – Color! Reformats! New Sections!
But we could not take the latest redesign. Why? It wasn't the length of the articles, though that was a contributing factor. Not the just breezy information but maybe more than I wanted to learn. BUT the biggest losers for me were the typographical changes – fonts were too small, sans serif, and the whole magazine seemed to be darker than previous issues.
I struggled through it for four months but just could not renew. It's a shame to lose such long-term subscribers, but such is the speedy way of life these days.
May 12, 2010
Sorry to be naive, Greg, but I just find it difficult to believe that Meacham would have the "freedom" to put his plan into play without having primary and secondary market research results, a business plan and a group of advisers. It has been my experience that even the folks holding the purse strings have to have agreement and buy-in from their team. What happened did everyone simply sit around and agree with him without challenging his thinking?

There's a lot of truth to what you say. Donald Graham certainly had to sign off and of course there must have been some business side people involved.
However, editors can be enormously powerful. Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue (and the inspiration for The Devil Wears Prada) had the entire program of the famous Milan Fashion Week changed to suit her schedule.
By all accounts, this was Meacham's strategy, nobody – not even Meacham – has suggested any differently.

Anthony De Rubeis permalinkMay 13, 2010
Thank you for a great post Greg. However, allow a few observations. Ultimately, "news" in periodical form is antiquated and editorial opinion is no longer in short supply; let alone one as bias as Newsweek. What busy people need/want is honest analysis of the news to help them through the mud and weeds. Publications with an obvious agenda fail to provide this so subscribing, impulse buying or reading such drivel is no longer worth the time.

That's a widely held view in some circles, but doesn't explain the success of Time, The Economist and The Week, all of whom are reportedly doing very well.
Thanks for sharing.
– Greg
May 15, 2010
Good post and nice comparisons to demonstrate that a niche strategy can work. A newsweekly such as Newsweek occupies a dangerous middle ground between news and thoughtful opinion, so lots of short opinion pieces doesn't really serve either end well. In my opinion the content is not that remarkable either, so Meacham was playing a poor strategy with a weak hand.
A strong vision is good only when it is right, but there are more leaders with vision then there are leaders whose visions are right. Out here in Silicon Valley we are used to failed leaders with strong visions. Most of the time they are entrepreneurs so when they fail no one notices. Bigger entities are supposed to have Boards and other brakes to ensure there is a rational basis for the vision.
Greg Reply:
May 15th, 2010 at 6:58 amBruce,
You make a good point that I glossed over. Meacham's Newsweek just wasn't very engaging editorially (I've never been an editor so I stay away from journalistic critiques).
Trevor Butterworth of Forbes made a similar point in a head to head comparison between Newsweek and The Economist. You can find it here: http://www.forbes.com/2010/05/11/jesus-newsweek-media-magazine-opinions-columnists-trevor-butterworth.html
Thanks a lot for your comment.

In 1956, I was overseas with the Navy when we began hearing about a young Memphis singer who had become an over-night success. When on leave that year, I drove to Memphis from San Diego and my parents had tickets my first night home for a charity concert, featuring Elvis, at Crump Stadium.

A three-acre athletic field to cost $35,000 and seating 10,000 spectators will be built with CWA funds on the property in the rear of Central High for the use of Memphis Prep Schools. Approval of the project was given by state and Federal CWA officials at a two-day conference ending yesterday at The Peabody.
- William McClusky, 1940
For us high school football players, there was no place better to play than Crump Stadium. Though our fans never filled it up, it was a thrill to play there - the same place where the "big boys" played. We had a game scheduled the night that Mr. Crump died and I believe the game was cancelled because of his death. Under the Friday night lights playing there was a wonderful experience.
- Terry West, 1955
My father's best friend was a delightful man named Jackie Burns. My dad once told me that Jackie scored the first touchdown ever scored in Crump Stadium. I wondered, until this site confirmed Jackie as a member of the Class of '35, and that he played football and was in the inaugural game of Crump Stadium against Greenfield, TN - which Tech won 43-0. Burns was listed as one of the YellowJackets who scored and that is close enough for me to confirm this local historical footnote.

LARGO, Fla. — An arbitrator will be hired to resolve whether five Largo firefighters were cheating.
The city is searching for an arbitrator to decide if what five firefighters did to prepare for a test was cheating, after an assistant city manager reduced most of their suspensions but did not exonerate them.

Subject: (no subject) I think it is the missing that hurts the most. We take so many things for granted and we assume everything is going to be here for ever. I miss David so much and I know time is the essence and I try and spend has much as I can with those I love. I know how important it is and I always say I LOVE YOU cause i never got the chance with Dave, he was in a coma. I pray and hope he heard me cause until I lost him, i never understood the concept of death. I could emphasise, but now I know the anguish and pain death brings I realise that although death is inevitable, it never takes the pain away. I suppose over time the pain becomes another type of pain, but when you loose someone dear to your heart it devours you. I know people around me care and I know I should endeavour to have as much time with them, but I feel selfish, it is him i want no one else. I hate being without him. It is like having icecream but with the flavour everything seems bland!

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)'Legless lizard' discovered nesting around Los Angeles International Airport
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
September 23rd, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) There is nothing new under the sun - or is there? Near the sand dunes of Los Angeles International Airport, or LAX, scientists have discovered four new species of legless lizards in California. We know what you're thinking - they're not snakes, scientists claim. Not all legless lizards are snakes. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Several lizard lineages have lost their legs in the course of evolution, James Parham of Cal State Fullerton says. While snakes are the best-known and most diverse of these lineages, more than 200 other types of limbless lizards exist globally.A total of five legless lizard species have been identified in California, all of them part of a group called Anniella. Four of these legless lizards are new to science, and were recently described in the journal Breviora, a publication of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University. How do they Anniella differ from snakes? "Anniella can blink at you, but snakes can't because they don't have eyelids," Parham, one of the authors of the paper says. The Anniella also don't shed their skin in one piece like snakes do, and they move differently. "Snakes can coil up a lot more, and they are more slithery," Parham said. "Anniella tend to be more rigid." Arguably cuter than snakes, the above photo should speak for itself. Relatively small animals, Anniealla are about as thick as a pencil and rarely more than eight inches long. They spend their lives wiggling beneath loose, sandy soil, snacking on bugs and larvae. Understandably, Anniealla don't move fast or far, and the researchers say they may spend their whole lives in an area about the size of your dining room table. Scientists still don't know much about them. "They are one of the most poorly studied reptiles in California," Parham said. "Because they live under the sand, you can't see what they are doing, and you can't even do a mark-and-recapture because you can't reliably capture these things." Parham and his coauthor Theodore Papenfuss, a herpetologist with the UC Berkeley Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, have been scouring the state for legless lizards for 15 years. Only one type of legless lizard was known to live in California when they began their research. One of the four newly identified species of Anniella, the Southern California legless lizard, was found under some dead leaves in dunes at the west end of Los Angeles International Airport. The Bakersfield legless lizard was found in three vacant lots in downtown Bakersfield. The southern Sierra legless lizard was spotted in three dry canyons on the edge of the Mojave Desert, and the Temblor legless lizard was found in the oil fields around the city of Taft, on the southwestern edge of the San Joaquin Valley.

text: 5 ways to combat flu in your homeBy Ted Myatt, Special to CNNUpdated 3:15 PM ET, Fri November 15, 2013Photos: Vintage cold and flu ads 9 photosVintage cold and flu ads – Cold and flu remedies get passed down from generation to generation. Sometimes the cure-all is chicken noodle soup, sometimes it's a liquid with a bit more, well, kick. The Cephos Company advertised a powder as a remedy for headaches, colds and cases of the nerves. Each packet contained caffeine and aspirin, to be dissolved in water.Hide Caption 1 of 9Photos: Vintage cold and flu ads 9 photosVintage cold and flu ads – If you have to be sick, at least use your illness as an excuse to knock back a hot toddy or two. Whiskey has long been lauded as a home remedy, so why wouldn't companies sell it as such? People use it to ease sore throats and kill germs, whether or not there's any scientific evidence to back up their beliefs. Hide Caption 2 of 9Photos: Vintage cold and flu ads 9 photosVintage cold and flu ads – Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil was possibly the most over-achieving of all home remedies. It claimed to be able to cure anything from toothaches and earaches to lameness and deafness. And it only cost 50 cents a bottle.Hide Caption 3 of 9Photos: Vintage cold and flu ads 9 photosVintage cold and flu ads – In the 1930s, Luden's advertised their cough tablets as "quick relief" for annoying hacking. Luden's is still a cold remedy company, although their drops are now marketed to soothe sore throats.Hide Caption 4 of 9Photos: Vintage cold and flu ads 9 photosVintage cold and flu ads – If Grandma's chicken noodle soup isn't available, Brits can always grab a bowl of Batchelors. You may scoff at the old-school remedy, but science has shown soup is worth a trip to the store when you're sick.Hide Caption 5 of 9Photos: Vintage cold and flu ads 9 photosVintage cold and flu ads – In this 1920s book illustration, five sick kids sit with their feet in a tub of mustard and hot water. Caregivers used mustard footbaths to draw blood to the feet, which was said to help relieve congestion.Hide Caption 6 of 9Photos: Vintage cold and flu ads 9 photosVintage cold and flu ads – Le Thermogene was a popular European remedy designed to treat coughs, the flu and rheumatic pains. The cotton wadding was treated with capsicum, a type of plant that creates heat when applied to the body.Hide Caption 7 of 9Photos: Vintage cold and flu ads 9 photosVintage cold and flu ads – Dr. D. Jayne's Expectorant was sold in the late 1880s as a cure for coughs, colds and asthma, as well as a "sure remedy for worms." The tonic concoction was also used to help indigestion. Hide Caption 8 of 9Photos: Vintage cold and flu ads 9 photosVintage cold and flu ads – The Vapo-Cresolene vaporizer was supposed to cure whooping cough, croup, asthma and the common cold. Made with carbolic acid, it was advertised as a germ killer if inhaled.Hide Caption 9 of 9Story highlightsMillions of flu particles may be lingering in your homeControlling humidity is one way to fight the spread of fluUV lights and air purifiers can also helpNow that we are in the height of cold and flu season, it's time to defend yourself against the flu virus, starting with your home.Your home may feel tidy once the carpets and floors are vacuumed and counters dusted, but millions of flu particles can linger in the air and on the surfaces we touch each day.We have all heard time and time again to wash our hands and cover our mouths when we sneeze -- and that the flu vaccine should always be our first line of defense -- but below are five ways to decrease flu survival on surfaces and in the air that you may not have considered at the home or office. 1. Control humidityIn the winter months, temperatures and humidity levels plummet to as low as 10%, which is as dry as the Sahara Desert. People also spend significantly more time indoors, which contributes to the spread of the flu, but recent scientific literature suggests that the low humidity levels may be contributing to the virus' survival. Ted MyattA review of nearly 40 peer-reviewed studies conducted over the last decades shows that homes kept at 40-60% relative humidity are likely to have fewer flu viruses lingering in the air and on surfaces like sink faucets, door handles, and countertops. Available at most hardware stores and online retailers, hygrometers provide a digital readout of the relative humidity in your home and are compact and low-cost. Homes can be kept at the optimal 40-60% relative humidity level through the use of a portable humidifier. In this humidity range, the flu virus survival in the air can be decreased by up to 30%.Just WatchedFlu season is herereplayMore Videos ...Flu season is here 01:04PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedUniversal flu vaccine may be in future replayMore Videos ...Universal flu vaccine may be in future 03:44PLAY VIDEO5 ways to protect your child in flu seasonThere's an added benefit too -- the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends using a cool mist humidifier throughout the winter months to help relieve congestion and coughs. 2. Use UV lightsMany people may ask "how can light kill bacteria?" But if you purchase the germicidal type of UV lights, they are capable of inactivating microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses.There's a variety of lightweight disinfection devices that use ultra-violet light on the market. You simply spread the light over the surface you wish to clean for the directed amount of time and the virus and bacteria will decrease substantially. This type of tool may be handy for keyboards, a computer mouse, and other hand-held devices, but keep in mind the flu virus also lives in the air, so disinfecting large areas is not as feasible. You can also look for gadgets like humidifiers with a UV light chamber that will kill the flu virus, mold, and other bacteria potentially living in the water. This germ-free technology is an added safeguard for homeowners that may not always remember to change their water or filters. 3. Purchase an air purifierRegular surface cleaning with a disinfectant labeled as "kills bacteria and viruses" will help remove particles that have landed on your floors, faucets, and countertops, but it is important to consider the air you breathe in your home. During the winter months, most people keep windows sealed and the heat on full blast, causing stagnant, recycled air that can harbor airborne allergens and bacteria. Consider using a portable air purifier in the rooms you spend most of your time. Most air purifiers circulate air several times per hour, cleaning the air. Look for a model with a HEPA filter, which is what most allergists and doctors recommend. Air purifiers can remove the smallest microbes in the air, reducing harmful airborne germs that not only include cold and flu viruses but also dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander and smoke particles. Those can aggravate allergies as well.Better flu vaccine on the horizon4. Disinfect surfacesThis idea is likely one you've heard before, but it is still one of the most effective and easy flu prevention methods. When disinfecting, think beyond the countertop and focus on the objects used most throughout the home, such as the family tablet, TV remote, or doorknobs. Cleaning works by using soap and water to physically remove germs from surfaces. It's important to note that you're not killing germs with this process though -- you're mainly removing them and lowering their numbers. Use a registered disinfectant that states the EPA has approved the product for effectiveness against influenza A virus. And, finally, always follow label directions on cleaning products and disinfectants.5. Wash linensThe flu virus can live on surfaces for several hours -- and even longer on more porous surfaces like towels, washcloths, blankets and linens. While linens don't need to be washed separately, it's important that they're not shared without being cleaned thoroughly. Wash bedding, towels and clothes with household detergent in hot water and tumble dry on a hot setting. Don't forget to wash your hands with soap and water immediately after handling them.CDC back at work to track the fluMore from healthThe couple that plays (tennis) together...College kids make robotic arms for children without real ones LGBT people in rural areas struggle to find good medical carePowered by Livefyre

Urge White House to Reverse Federal Transit Administration Decision and Restore One Million Hours of Lost Service to Los Angeles Bus Riders
UPDATED! FTA ruling is out on LA Metro civil rights violations--we're calling on Obama to intervene, reverse MTA service cuts
by Eric Romann
The Bus Riders Union and civil rights groups on Tuesday held a press conference to sharply denounce the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) failure to find Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro) in violation of federal civil rights laws, and failure to restore 1 million hours of previously cut service. Despite overwhelming evidence showing that the agency knowingly discriminated against bus riders of color when approving the elimination of nearly one million hours of bus service between 2007 and 2011, the FTA issued a ruling with stern words but no remedies. Transit riders are urging President Obama to intervene, calling it a test of his administration's commitment to civil rights.
Urgent Action: Tell FTA not to backpedal on civil rights!
by Eric Romann
Please click here to send an email today to FTA Chief Peter Rogoff urging his agency not to backpedal on civil rights. The Bus Riders Union learned yesterday that the Federal Transit Administration appears poised to play along with Metro's effort to whitewash the evidence of racial discrimination in years of bus service cuts. We must send a strong message to FTA Administrator Peter Rogoff that those who stand for civil rights around the country won't stand for this.

Panna is a video based cookery app that won't appeal to those looking for a bargain, but does offer some tasty delights.
While it's free to download, individual issues cost money with a 1 year subscription costing $14.99 for 6 bi-monthly issues. Given the quality of the content, however, I don't think that's too unreasonable a price. The app offers up one free recipe each issue, demonstrating just what to expect.
Users are given a selection of comprehensive videos explaining what's going on, alongside clear and concise instructions and a similarly clear ingredients list. A lot of effort has gone into the interface with photos and videos proving quite tantalizing to the hungry chef. Best of all, it's all quick to load and looks stunning on the iPad's screen.
Recipes come from four chefs, comprising of extensive experience in a variety of cooking styles from classical French to Italian and Mexican. It's a distinctly classy selection that should cover all interests.
Each recipe comes with an intro from the cook explaining why they love it so, both in text and video form. It's then very easy to either scroll down for instructions and ingredients, or scroll to the right to go step by step, again with videos explaining all. There's no stuttering or delay in terms of the videos loading, meaning it's a useful tool to have by one's side while cooking.
Panna might feel like an advert for the full package, which it is to an extent, but it works. The prospect of hours more of high definition coverage is quite appetizing for the aspiring chef. I'd have appreciated more free content to really captivate the user, maybe two or three recipes to check out, but for those who don't mind making a small investment, Panna is a good source for inspiration.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Ron Paul's latest drive for campaign cash has collected even more money than the last one.
Donations to the Republican presidential candidate had topped $6 million by midnight, according to his campaign Web site. The campaign's previous fundraiser brought in $4.2 million.
The idea of the effort called a "Money Bomb" was to raise as much money as possible on the Internet in one day to boost the presidential bid of the 10-term Texas congressman.

The Bishop Broncos scored their fourth shutout in a row, 49-0, Friday night against the Rosamond Roadrunners, unofficially clinching the High Desert League championship.
With four of the six-school league cannibalizing each other into 2-2 seasons, the win secured the championship for the Broncos with one game remaining, against the Desert Scorpions, in the regular season.
Coach Bill Egan may be the only person in Bishop not speculating on the post-season playoffs. Heãs still waiting until after the Desert game, Thursday, Nov. 10.
The Broncos are ranked number one in the CIF Northeast Division.
ãDesert has a good defense, probably the second best in league,ã he said. ãTheyãll be a challenge.ã
In terms of that first round of playoffs, ãit doesnãt matter,ã he said, ãwe just have to play well. I donãt have any control (over the seeding) just over how hard the kids work. In CIF, you either win or you donãt.ã In the meantime, Egan and the team will work on mistakes made during the Rosamond game.
One thing learned from the Rosamond rout was the depth of the Broncos. An injury to nose guard Roman Amisone required some shuffling of the offensive line, including calling up a couple of players from the JV team.
Coming into the game with a 1-8 overall record, Rosamond probably wasnãt feeling too good about their chances against the 8-1 Broncos. The first play of the game didnãt help. Starting from their own 9, the Roadrunners fumbled the ball; Bronco Cody McKinley recovered it to give Bishop spectacular field position.
True to form, the Broncos cashed in on the opportunity. Quarterback Chance Callahan ran the ball straight up the middle, the point-after was good and, with just over a minute of play, the Broncos took a 7-0 lead.
A deep kick from Chris Frohreich set the Roadrunners up in the shadow of their own goal post. The defense pressured the freshman QB, Ian Bowen. After a gain of 4 yards, the Roadrunners punted the ball back to Bishop.
Starting at Rosamondãs 40, Callahan handed off to Jaime Ruelas who made a well-blocked 40-yard sprint to the end zone and Bishop went ahead 14-0.
Three downs and out, the Roadrunners punted into the wind, setting up Bishop near midfield. A 54-yard pass play from Callahan to Matt Babb put the Broncos ahead 21-0 and there was still 4:57 left in the first quarter.
Another ugly punt from the Roadrunners and Bishop started their final drive of the quarter at Rosamondãs 20. Callahan handed off to Ruelas and Bishop was ahead 28-0.
With the wind at their back, Rosamond started the second quarter with a punt. Ruelas caught the ball at the Broncosã 33 and added 11 yards to his stats. At second and 22 on their own 38, Callahan faked a hand-off to Jerry Castillo. Castillo was pursued and hit; the referee blew the whistle, confusing a ball-carrying Callahan on his way downfield.
Callahanãs fakes have fooled defenses, broadcasters and, according to Egan, this wasnãt the first time he fooled the officials. Bishop got the down back. Ryan Devore got the ball, for real, and made a 68-yard TD. Frohreich made the PAT; score: 35-0.
Rosamondãs Elijah Knod looked like he was on his way to a big gain, straight up the middle. But, he fumbled and Darren Spoonhunter made the recovery.
The first Bishop possession that didnãt end in a TD, ended with a Rosamond interception. A Roadrunner fumble on the first play, and it was recovered by Keith Tatum. At first and goal, Callahan went in for his second TD and Bishop led 42-0.
The third quarter was relatively uneventful as Broncos subs settled into the game.
On Bishopãs first possession of the fourth quarter, Kyle Batchelder, in as quarterback, connected with Cy Scott for a TD. Nate Coakley hit the PAT and Bishop led 49-0.
With less than four minutes left in the game, the Roadrunners were spent. Three and out, Rosamond punted the ball away. Callahan was on the receiving end, started running and didnãt stop until he reached the end zone. A penalty called back the TD but Bishop retained possession. With under two minutes left, Bishop took delay of game penalties to run out the clock.
The championship guarantees the Broncos a first round home game. The opponent will be named Sunday, Nov. 13 and the game will be played Friday, Nov. 18.
