You Decide – What Did You Like Best About Detective Comics #27?
Detective Comics #27 was packed with a whole bunch of high-profile stories and even had a high-profile cover by Frank Miller. We wondered what you folks felt was the best part about the issue.
Read on for the choices!
3 Comments
I vote for the fact Frank Miller ONLY did the cover and contributed nothing else.
I like that DC gave Mike W. Barr some work!
I like the joke I made about it in Greg's column. Why isn't that on the list?

This is an easy, light meal that is handy for using up all that lovely fresh broccoli or silverbeet that's in season right now. We like it for lunch, as it's got lots of protein from the eggs and the broccoli/silverbeet, and protein is very helpful for keeping you awake and energised! We're dairy free, so I make my own rice & almond milk, which saves us lots of money, but you could use regular milk if preferred. We're getting lots of eggs from our chickens right now as well, so all round, this is an very inexpensive meal for us. Serve with raw vege sticks.
1. Chop up and place in Varoma
- 2 cups of broccoli (or silverbeet)
2. Place in steamer basket in bowl:
- 6 eggs
Fill bowl with 500g water. Put on the lid, and place Varoma on top.
3. Steam eggs and broccoli (or silverbeet) for 15 mins, Varoma temperature, speed 1. (If the veges need more time, take the eggs out, and keep steaming until done.) Tip water out of bowl, set eggs aside.
4. Add to bowl, and chop for 5 seconds on speed 5:
- 1/2 onion
- 1 stick of celery, quartered
- a few mushrooms (optional)
5. Add oil and saute for 2 minutes, 100 degrees, reverse speed 1:
- 20g olive oil
6. Add remaining ingredients and cook for 7 minutes, 90 degrees, reverse speed 3:
- 500g rice/almond milk
- 4 Tblspns plain flour (I use spelt, but rice or other flour would work)
- 1 tsp sea salt (or to taste)
- pepper
7. While white sauce is cooking, peel eggs and slice in half. In a baking dish, spread greens, then place eggs on top in two rows. When sauce is cooked, pour and spread over eggs.
8. Without cleaning out bowl, add and mix on speed 6 for a few seconds until made into crumbs:
- two pieces of wholemeal bread (use your day old bread that's getting a bit dry)
- 2 tsp of olive oil or butter
- a handful of fresh parsley
9. Sprinkle crumbs over white sauce. Place casserole dish under hot grill to brown slightly, and serve.

Tested by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
Penbrooke Grey Studio Art Glam Sheath Swimsuit Style #2107
Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
Consumer testers loved the color and pattern of this Penbrooke suit, and we were wowed in the lab as well by its ability to hold its hue. This is the only swimsuit we tested to receive a perfect score in most of our colorfastness tests, meaning color didn't transfer from sweat, seawater, or chlorine, or fade after prolonged exposure to UV rays. This color also showed good resistance to laundering and the fabric didn't show many signs of wear when rubbed against a rough surface. Our consumer testers rated it average for slimming ability and appearance: While they loved the design, several volunteers were worried that the cut of the suit wasnt flattering, especially across the legs and bust. We found this Penbrooke didn't do much to slim our consumer testers, but it didn't take as much as an inch off the waist and hip measurements of some volunteers.

United Technologies Explores Green Building And Its Impact On Tomorrow's Generation At U.S. Chamber Sustainability Symposium
WASHINGTON, April 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- For the first time in history, more than half of the world's population lives in urban areas, resulting in increased demand on buildings and resources. According to a study by McGraw-Hill Construction, firms are shifting their business toward green building to help conserve natural resources, with 51 percent of respondents planning more than 60 percent of their work to be green by 2015. This trend signals a shift from 'push' to 'pull'—with markets increasingly demanding no less than green buildings, said John Mandyck, chief sustainability officer, UTC Climate, Controls & Security, at today's U.S. Chamber of Commerce Bricks & Sticks Sustainability Symposium in Washington, D.C. UTC Climate, Controls & Security is a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX).
"At United Technologies, energy efficiency is the driver of world-class innovations - from air-conditioning chillers that deliver double-digit improvements in energy efficiency to premier building automation systems that can control a building's major systems from a smartphone," Mandyck said. "Buildings consume 40 percent of energy and present immediate opportunities to make good business decisions that are also good environmental decisions."
Organized by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Business Civic Leadership Center, the Bricks & Sticks Sustainability Symposium is designed to showcase outstanding examples of public-private partnerships that serve as a catalyst for creating sustainable solutions that balance economic and environmental progress. By promoting greater efficiencies for energy and water, green buildings lower operating costs while conserving the earth's precious resources, Mandyck said. This powerful combination of built-in payback with environmental stewardship creates a new value proposition that is accelerating green building in the commercial as well as educational sector, and redefining expectations for building operations, worker productivity and student performance in the future.
Part of green building since the beginning, United Technologies helped launch the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) Center for Green Schools to extend the green building movement into schools, transforming them into sustainable, healthy and energy efficient places to learn. McGraw-Hill Construction research found that 74 percent of K-12 respondents report higher levels of student productivity and test scores as a result of investments in green building, with 45 percent of all 2012 construction projects in the educational sector consisting of green projects. In addition, K-12 schools that are certified under USGBC's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED ®) for Existing Buildings report energy performance that is 36 percent better than the average U.S. school. While schools are making progress, budget constraints and lack of support still present a challenge for many green building projects in this sector. "With approximately 25 percent of Americans going to school every day as students, teachers and administrators, we must continue to identify ways to reduce energy consumption and improve indoor environmental quality in our educational facilities – all of which research has shown directly benefits health and performance, school operating costs and the natural environment," Mandyck said.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

August 4, 2005
The AIAs 2005 Compensation Report, released in July, revealed that salaries for U.S. architects increased at a faster rate than those of other professions between 2002 and 2005. Architects pay grew by about 10 percent over that time, or at about an average yearly rate of 3.3 percent. In comparison, jobs within the rest of the economy only grew at an average yearly rate of 2.5 percent. Architects salaries have now reached an average of $62,600, says the report.
Still, salaries for architects grew less than they have in the recent past. Between 1999 and 2002 architects salaries grew at a rate of 5.1 percent compounded, and from 1996 to 1999 the rate was 5.3 percent. According to the recent report, salaries have grown the most at larger firms. Average compensation for firms of 250 or more employees now stands at $74,200, but it decreases in proportion to firm size. Salaries at firms under ten people stand at an average of $59,400.
While architects salaries continue to grow, they still pale in comparison to lucrative professions like law and medicine. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics, the mean yearly income for architects in 2004 was $66,230, compared to $108,790 for lawyers and $137,610 for physicians and surgeons. At the other end of the scale, an artists mean annual income is $37,490.

Activation of Sir2 orthologs is proposed to increase lifespan downstream of dietary restriction. Here, we describe an examination of the effect of 32 different lifespan-extending mutations and four methods of DR on replicative lifespan (RLS) in the short-lived sir2Δ yeast strain. In every case, deletion of SIR2 prevented RLS extension; however, RLS extension was restored when both SIR2 and FOB1 were deleted in several cases, demonstrating that SIR2 is not directly required for RLS extension. These findings indicate that suppression of the sir2Δ lifespan defect is a rare phenotype among longevity interventions and suggest that sir2Δ cells senesce rapidly by a mechanism distinct from that of wild-type cells. They also demonstrate that failure to observe lifespan extension in a short-lived background, such as cells or animals lacking sirtuins, should be interpreted with caution.

Monty finally breaks through in U.S.
Benton Harbor, MI (SportsNetwork.com) - Colin Montgomerie did something on Sunday which he failed to accomplish on the PGA Tour.
Montgomerie closed with a 6-under 65 and cruised to a 4-stroke win at the Senior PGA Championship. He ended at 13-under-par 271.
The win was Montgomerie's first in a major championship, and it was also his first official victory on United States soil.
"It's been a long time. I haven't won a 72-hole event in America until today, and it's very special moment for me, and my caddie. We've been together for 22 years and we've been trying, my god have we been trying," Montgomerie said. "We come close on a number of occasions. it's great to come here and finally, finally break that duck."
U.S. Ryder Cup captain Tom Watson also closed with a 6-under 65 to grab second place at minus-9. The two-time winner of this championship missed shooting his age by one stroke.
Jay Haas (67) and Bernhard Langer (70) shared fourth place at 7-under-par 277 at The Golf Club at Harbor Shores.
Mark Brooks (65), Joe Durant (64), David Frost (68) and Bart Bryant (70) tied for fifth at minus-6.
Montgomerie led by one entering the day, and he pushed that lead to two with a birdie on the first. He stumbled to a bogey on the fourth to trim his lead to one.
Langer, who played all four rounds with Montgomerie, answered with a birdie on the par-5 fifth to gain a share of the lead.
After three pars in a row, Montgomerie answered with a 7-foot birdie putt on No. 8. He followed with a 12-footer for birdie on the ninth and a tap-in birdie at the 10th to move to 10-under.
Watson, who was four groups ahead of Montgomerie was making a charge. After early birdies at two and four, Watson birdied the 10th and 11th to get within one at minus-7.
As Montgomerie tried to pull away, Watson was keeping track. Watson made a 10- foot birdie chance on the 13th and followed with a short birdie putt on No. 14 to get to 9-under, where he was still one back.
However, Watson's putter went cold as he closed with four pars in a row.
Montgomerie poured it on. He knocked in a 3-foot birdie try on 12th to move two clear of Watson. Montgomerie birdied the 14th and 15th, both from about eight feet out, to jump to minus-13.
Watson parred the last, and left course four behind.
"I was really happy about those four twos. But I'm really up upset that I didn't make the last putt, because I would have shot my age," said Watson, who birdied all four par-3s in the final round. "It was one of the best rounds from tee to green that I played in years. It was really, really good. The putter felt like a snake in my hands. I missed a lot of short putts today. It could have been a much better round of golf, scoring round of golf. But I missed three or four really short putts that could have gone in for birdies."
Langer tried to rally with birdies on 14 and 15, but he was still five back. He dropped a shot on the 16th, and that left it to Montgomerie.
The Scotsman, who had six second-place finishes in the United States in PGA Tour events, easily parred 16 and 17. To show how things were going for Montgomerie, he pulled his second shot at the last, and it caromed off the bleachers and back onto the green.
Montgomerie left that birdie try inches short. After Langer finished, Monty tapped in for the win.
"I've been swinging the club very well recently and as Tom Watson said on Wednesday, this course should suit me. And it's funny, I kept that in my mind all day, when he was charging at me, you know," Montgomerie said. "It had that major feel to it. I think the golf course made it that way."
NOTES: Montgomerie earned $378,000 for the win ... He became the first Scotsman since Jock Hutchinson in 1947 to win this championship ... This was Monty's 138th start on U.S. soil ... He became the third consecutive international winner, which marks the first time in event history that that happened ... He was the eighth player to win this title in his first attempt ... The tour heads to Iowa next week for the Principal Charity Classic, where Russ Cochran beat Jay Don Blake by one last year.

Get AccessAbstract
We evaluated the potential of PET/CT and [18F]fluoromethylcholine (FCH) in the assessment of suspected recurrence of prostate cancer after treatment.
One hundred consecutive prostate cancer patients with a persistent increase in serum PSA (>0.1 ng/ml) after radical prostatectomy (58 cases), radiotherapy (21 cases) or hormonal therapy alone (21 cases) were investigated. After injection of 3.7–4.07 MBq/kg of FCH, both early (at <15 min) and delayed (at >60 min) PET/CT scans were performed in 43 patients, delayed PET/CT scans in 53 patients and early PET/CT scans in four patients.
Of the 100 patients, 54 (PSA 0.22–511.79 ng/ml) showed positive FCH PET/CT scans. Thirty-seven patients had bone and/or abdominal lymph node uptake, while 17 showed pelvic activity. Malignant disease was confirmed in all but one. Delayed SUVmax of bone metastases was significantly higher (p<0.0001 by paired t test) than that measured at <15 min, whereas no differences were observed between early and delayed SUVs of malignant lymph nodes or pelvic disease. Forty-six patients (PSA 0.12–14.3 ng/ml) showed negative FCH PET/CT scans. Of the negative PET/CT scans, 89% were obtained in patients with serum PSA <4 ng/ml and 87% in patients with a Gleason score <8. In none of these cases could recurrent tumour be proven clinically during a follow-up of 6 months.
FCH PET/CT is not likely to have a significant impact on the care of prostate cancer patients with biochemical recurrence until PSA increases to above 4 ng/ml. However, in selected patients, FCH PET/CT helps to exclude distant metastases when salvage local treatment is intended.

text: Touchstone: A Journal of Mere Christianity "Unmarried, Still Children" first appeared in the June 2008 issue of Touchstone. Unmarried, Still ChildrenJoan Frawley Desmond on Children Who've Been Raised for Everything but Marriage Recently, a friend described an exchange between a mother and her son, a senior at a top university. He wanted to marry his long-time girlfriend. His mother retorted that she was more ambitious for him than his girlfriend was; she advised him to avoid an "early" marriage that might limit his options. Another friend confided to me that he had counseled his high-school-age daughter to establish a decade's worth of graduate school and career development before marrying. Marriage would complicate the task of achieving financial independence. And he just wasn't sure that men could be trusted. Without a Script Many young people now earn parental approbation without achieving one traditional benchmark for adulthood: securing the love, commitment, and respect of a spouse. Such parental sentiments appear to be growing, and they have helped to extend and justify the footloose patterns of college life well past graduation day. "Being 35 today is much like being 35 a generation ago. Adults' lives are still framed by careers, marriage, children, and civic ties. But being 25 today is very different," asserted William Galston, speaking at the Forum on Being 20-Something in the 21st Century, part of the Brookings Institution's Responsible Parenting Project. "Most young people in their 20s are living outside of institutions and without the structure and norms institutions provide," continued Galston, author of a recent Brookings report, The Changing 20s. "Many feel that they are living without a script, making up their lives as they go." In 1970, only 21 percent of 25-year-olds had never married. In 2005, 60 percent had yet to wed. Asked to identify the key events marking the passage into adulthood, 96 percent of the young adults in one recent survey identified a full-time job. About half that number mentioned marriage. In Jeffrey Arnett's research for his book Emerging Adulthood: The Winding Road from Late Teens through the Twenties, he found marriage and children to be at the bottom of a list of events perceived as conferring adult status. While most young people believed that "accept[ing] responsibility for the consequences of your actions" and choosing "personal beliefs and values independently of parents or other influences" were crucial, only 15 percent thought marriage was. Amorphous Milestones Given our increased longevity, the rising demand for graduate degrees, the specter of divorce, the unstable and unpredictable job market, and the relative immaturity of today's youth, it is easy to see why many middle-class parents think of "early" marriage as an albatross. Their children are deemed incapable of bearing the weight of marriage. Everything must be in place before they can contemplate such a momentous—potentially "destabilizing"—step. But this idea of the post-college period as a brief but essential chapter in a long and fruitful life, one quickly succeeded by traditional commitments like family, ignores the thinking and behavior that have come to define those years for many. Significantly, for example, Arnett's research suggests that the milestones associated with the advent of adulthood are amorphous states of mind ("accept[ing] responsibility for the consequences of your actions") that have no objective legal or social status. The individual does not submit to an established framework that clarifies his intentions. Work bears no clear organic relationship to familial service and responsibility. And when work is everything, social relationships must be improvised. This explains the increasing popularity of cohabitation, a domestic partnership that circumvents fixed commitments and avoids transparent intentions. She may think they're on the road to marriage, but he's simply enjoying the comforts of home before graduate school. The only rule of engagement is that future plans be kept necessarily vague. Today, of course, the roles may well be reversed. Better-credentialed young women, primed to view marriage as a trap, expect to navigate the path of "serial monogamy" well into their thirties. Multiple live-in relationships allow them to test-drive potential partners. Arnett reports that 65 percent of young Americans have cohabited at least once prior to marriage. Thus, when a mother badgers her son to "keep his options open," she isn't thinking about his girlfriend's broken heart. Nor is mom worrying about the other women who will dally with her son before he takes the plunge. They are forgotten, as they must be, if he is to go on with a clear conscience and if her heart can swell with maternal pride for his accomplishments. The trouble is that mom and dad still can't be sure that junior will come out ahead. The research suggests that when marital commitments no longer direct our path in the world, the purpose and meaning of work also shifts. For some, the weakened relationship between personal achievement and family needs leads to careerism. Others soon have trouble signing up to anything that requires sacrifice: Only 25 percent of respondents in Arnett's survey agreed that "full-time employment" had something to do with adulthood. Indeed, decades of social research confirm that married men who work earn more than single men, despite the former's increased responsibilities. Public Anchor In marriage, particularly a sacramental union, the husband and wife publicly anchor their relationship in three vows: of permanence, of faithfulness, and of fruitfulness. Though most young people enter marriage without fully understanding what is ahead, the vows guide them in developing necessary virtues: perseverance, temperance, courage, justice, and humility. The challenges keep coming—sickness, financial difficulties, family crises—and the vows help to lift the spouses over each hurdle. The vows establish the form for marriage as a social institution. They send the message that marriage is not something we invent; it is a state of life that preexists us. "And so a man will leave his family and cleave unto his wife and the two will become one flesh." Marital vows guide human desire toward "loving" instead of "using," as Pope John Paul II has noted. Without the vows, couples are under no compulsion to back up their feelings with actions. They can invent their own set of expectations in which selfishness is normalized and tests of character are repelled with few consequences. Thus, it is not surprising that even cohabitating couples with children are much more likely to break up than married couples. Meanwhile, those who glide through a decade or more alone, answerable to no one but their boss, can find it hard to change the pattern of solitary living. A century ago, parents and the larger culture enforced a very different approach to marriage and courtship, one that arose from a profound Christian realism: the understanding that the human propensity to sin easily undermined good intentions and wrought its destructive power in the lives of innocents and evildoers alike. In Shakespeare's The Tempest, Prospero warns his daughter's fiancé, Prince Ferdinand, to temper his desire and wait for marriage: Traditional European courtship practices sought to clarify intentions rather than pander to wishful thinking. The purpose, observed one social researcher, was "to translate the subjective state of being in love into objective expressions of commitment." In Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Miss Elizabeth Bennet is attracted, in turn, to Mr. Wickham, a dashing officer with flattering manners, and Mr. Darcy, a proud, rich, and reserved man who initially rejects her as unworthy of his notice. Wickham quickly captures her sympathy and trust, while Darcy initially earns her enmity. But as the two men's actions reveal the truth about their fundamental character, Elizabeth is forced to acknowledge her faulty judgment born from her "prejudice." Elizabeth must overcome her character flaws without the aid of wise parental counsel. Her mother, foolish and vulgar, lacks good judgment. Her father, bitter and fatalistic, resists effective action. In the end, two Bennet sisters secure happy unions with honorable men, but a third sister marries the scoundrel, Mr. Wickham, with her mother's blessings. Peter Pans & Wendys Mr. and Mrs. Bennet's behavior would have sent tongues wagging in nineteenth-century England. At that time, polite society conspired to encourage behavior that helped—even forced—women and men to grow up through a process of accommodation to external realities. This pattern continued into the next century, although, as Beth Bailey notes in From Front Porch to Back Seat: Courtship in Twentieth-Century America, industrialization slowly pushed back parental supervision and encouraged the new pastime of "dating" rather than "calling." Today, parents have a tough time understanding their proper role. Not only has the culture embraced the good of individual autonomy—as opposed to parental authority and familial responsibility—but radical social change has bred confusion about what constitutes the proper goal of adulthood. In The Closing of the American Mind, Alan Bloom explains, for example, what the sexual revolution blindly repudiated: A decade's worth of cohabitation or serial monogamy, then, is the ideal incubator for Peter Pans and Wendys. Cohabitation "is not the functional equivalent of marriage," because "adults who live together are more similar to singles than to married couples," explains Why Marriage Matters, a report authored by family experts, including William J. Doherty, professor of family social science and the director of the marriage and family therapy program at the University of Minnesota. This might explain why young Americans have begun to equate same-sex partnerships with heterosexual relationships. It also explains why out-of-wedlock births have climbed dramatically among cohabitating couples in all socio-economic groups. Even when children arrive, many opt to remain single. When pondering the declining fortunes of matrimony since the 1960s, one must consider this explanation: The preoccupation with careerism masks a deeper problem. Many in this generation of parents cannot bring themselves to conduct an honest accounting of their own early adulthood, when the shattering of taboos caused them to doubt their own capacity for love or for living the truth. Their example and teaching led many of their children to make work their central vocation, and treat marriage as peripheral. Thus, a slew of successful young women complained to Barbara Defoe Whitehead in Why There Are No Good Men Left that their parents prepared them for every goal but marriage. Individually, many parents may have atoned for past misdeeds. But as a group they have yet to repudiate the damage they wreaked, or at least tolerated. But lack of courage does not entirely explain the silence. Attachment to vice—lust, greed, and pride, mostly—make it hard to rethink the past. Improvised Relationships A dose of Christian realism regarding the wages of sin could help considerably. My generation's rejection of fundamental truths resonates in the choices made by today's adults-in-training. Judging from current research, an increasing number of young people will improvise their relationships, rather than subject themselves to the daunting obligations of married love. Delay the wedding date, ignore the broken hearts along the way, center your hopes and goals in yourself or your job rather than the man or woman in your bed, always leave yourself an out, get on with your career. In other words, keep love at arm's length, and pay the price. Joan Frawley Desmond is a freelance writer who lives with her husband and three children in Chevy Chase, Maryland.

Columbus, OH Beat the Streets Announces Fall Clinics
September 7th, 2011 by albevi1234
Ohio Colleges Beat the Streets in Columbus
Nine Schools will participate in the inaugural BTS – Fall Clinic Series
Kevin Schlosser; www.buckeyewrestling.com
The concept behind USA Wrestling's Beat the Streets movement is simple, to promote wrestling in the local community while making a positive impact in the lives of the wrestlers they work with. To accomplish that mission they provide quality coaching and mentorship while creating opportunities to for wrestlers to train and compete. With those directives in mind the Columbus, Ohio Beat the Streets program is proud to announce their 2011 Fall Clinic Series.
"We are very excited to release the list of clinicians for our Beat the Streets fall clinics," stated CWC head coach Brian Church. "Every Ohio Division I and Division II college with a varsity wrestling program will have a featured clinician for at least one night during the series. This is a great opportunity for the central Ohio wrestling community to learn from some of the best in the state."
The 2011 clinicians will be Ohio University head coach Joel Greenlee, Findlay head coach Shawn Nelson, Kent State head coach Jim Andrassy, Ohio State head coach Tom Ryan, Cleveland State head coach Ben Stehura, Tiffin head coach Joey Simcoe, Ohio State associate head coach Lou Rosselli, Ohio State assistant coach J Jaggers, Notre Dame College assistant coach Jake Patacsil, Lake Erie College head coach Kevin Hoogenboom, and Ashland head coach Tim Dernlan.
"The wrestlers that attend these clinics will receive some quality instruction that has proven to be successful on all levels; from youth to high school and into college," added Church.
The featured clinicians will each be giving a motivational speech focusing on the values that wrestling develops; setting goals in sports and in life; dealing with success and failure; working hard on the mat and in the classroom; and making choices that lead to positive outcomes.
"Every coach, like every wrestler has a different story to tell and a different path to success. We look forward to them each delivering an inspirational message that will motivate and help everyone to achieve their goals," said Church.
The 2011 Beat the Streets Fall Clinic Series is sponsored by the Columbus Wrestling Club. All clinics in the series will be held on Monday and Wednesday nights at the Whetstone Recreation Center between 6:30 and 8:00. The first clinic will be held on September 19 and finish on October 31.
The clinic series is open to all members of the Columbus Wrestling Club and a limited number of spots are open to the general public. To keep the size of the clinic manageable and the mats safe, the CWC will pre-register up to 50 wrestlers before September 19 and fill the remaining slots with walk-ins before the first clinic. For additional information please download the registration flyer HERE. or visit the Columbus, Ohio – Beat the Streets website HERE.

I am Sibono [sih-BOH-noh]. I live in a town on a hilltop in northeastern South Africa. [Locate South Africa on a map.]
My mother and I attended church every Sunday. Then one day Mother told me that we were going to a church on Saturday. I liked church, but I didn't want to miss my playtime with my friends on Saturday. So after breakfast on Saturday morning, I slipped out of the house and ran to my friend's house to play.
Mother called for me, but I didn't answer. Eventually she went to church alone. My friends and I played soccer all morning. We don't have a real ball, so we make one by stuffing an old sock with plastic bags. It works pretty well. And when it wears out we just find another old sock and stuff it with plastic bags.
We played until we got tired, and then we played with the toy cars we had made out of bits of wire. We made pretend roads in the dust and ran our cars through pretend towns and over pretend mountains. I had lunch with my friend, and then we played some more.
About sunset I saw my mom coming, and I ran to her. I had forgotten all about church until she told me to come into the house with her. "We were supposed to go to church together," she said. "Why did you run off to play?"
"My friends wanted me to," I answered quietly.
Mother told me the story she had learned in church that day. It was about Joshua, who led the people of Israel into the Promised Land. She told how God parted the waters of the Jordan River to let them pass. I was amazed at this story, and I promised to go to church with her the next week.
Sibono's New Church
On Sabbath, instead of running off to play, I went to church with my mother. The children don't have their own classroom, so we meet under a shady tree. They sang lots of songs, and then the teacher told us a Bible story.
After church Mother and I ate our small lunch under the big tree. Then while the adults had a Bible study, we children sang more songs and had more stories. It was fun!
When my friends asked me why I hadn't come out to play on Saturday, I told them that I had gone to church. "You should come too," I said. "We sing great songs and hear exciting stories about God." Two of my friends went with me the next Sabbath, but after that they decided to stay home and play soccer. I felt bad that they didn't want to come to church with me.
Sibono Shares God's Love
Sometimes when I return from church my friends are outside playing. I call them to my yard and tell them the Bible stories I heard that day in church. They like hearing the Bible stories. But when I invite them to come to church, they don't want to give up their playtime. So I just keep telling them Bible stories, even if there's only one boy who comes to hear them.
Some of my friends' parents don't trust a church that meets in the community hall. The community hall is not such a nice place to worship, but I know that God is there.
Our pastor encourages us to bring a special offering to help build a church of our own. The church will have a special room for the children to worship in. We've been saving money for the church for a long time, but still we don't have nearly enough.
This quarter part of the Thirteenth Sabbath Offering will help our church members build a new church. I think that when we get our new church with our children's worship center, my friends will come. Please save your money this quarter so that we can have a big Thirteenth Sabbath Offering. It means so much to us.

The seminars are led by Lake Falconer, a man with over 20 years of senior level experience in venture capital.
Testimonial from Don Wiid, founder of Contact Edge CRM:
"I'd urge business owners / senior managers to come and learn from Lake. I attended a seminar in 2011, and found the seminar style logical and coherent. It covered a huge topic very effectively, and the practical "Value a Business" break-out session was especially useful.

Mirsha - posted on 04/24/2009 ( 10 moms have responded )
Hi everyone!
I'm a first year teacher teaching Pre-K 3-4 yr. olds. My class size is 21 and I have one child that has had challenging behavior since he started. I have tried what feels like everything, but he has more bad days than good and finally yesterday mom got really upset that his behavior is always like that.
His behavior isn't horrible, but it's almost on a daily basis that the following happens. As soon as he gets to school they line up and he just has to push somebody that's already in the line just because he wants to stand in a certain spot or next to a certain friend and that starts a whole problem with the kids that were already in line following directions. Then we walk to the classroom and put their belongings away and sit down on the rug he'll just start poking the kids that sit infront of him, or pull on their hair, or say rude things to them like "poopie head". He knows what he's doing is inappropriate, but he thinks it's funny.
He has a hard time sharing and lacks self control. When he wants something he'll just take or destroy what the other kids have done and hits them. When he doesn't get his way he'll have a meltdown and has even hit me and my staff. He'll say things like, "I don't have to listen to you" or "I'll do what I want because I said so." (keep in mind that he's yelling at the top of his lungs when he does this.
So what I do in my class is that they get 2 warnings and at the 3rd time they immediately go to the cooling off spot. I also have a reward system where they collect stars for good behavior, helping out, and answering questions about the day's lesson. After they collect 10 stars they get a surprise from the 'surprise' box
He had a time maybe a month and a half where he was really good, and then I don't know what happened. Nothing in the family has changed. School environment, and discipline methods have been consistent as well. But he just keeps regressing. I also give him a job of being my 'helper' and praise hime when he does really well.
Yesterday, we had an emergency drill practice and he had a meltdown because he had gotten up to go get a tissue (we were out on the yard no tissue to be found) and I had him sit back down and he just flipped.
I've already talked to the school's mental health consultant and I didn't get the support I wanted, she just said if I thought his behavior was disruptive. I said yes because it's happening almost on a daily basis.
I'm just looking for ways that I can help him gain self control and how to teach him to be nice to his peers and also what kind of resources i can give to the parents.
Sorry, this post has been so long and TIA for your help.

Sorry Madison! for what it's worth Peter perpetually gives Hedward the stink eye.
I love her new outfit! very cute! I'm not sure about the blue eyes though...every other MH cannon girl has blue eyes. her having dark ones made her different- and more like her parents since their eyes are black.
He doesn't really like anyone at first. and He never had anything against Hedward personally, but he hurt his friend- so now he does have something personal against him.
Her hair and skin makes her look like Sally more than anything. but the blue looks so...weird...maybe Brown would be a better transition?

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Lawman warns that Pope Francis may become target of organized crime
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
November 14th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Leading anti-mob prosecutor Nicola Gratteri says that Pope Francis may become the target of the 'Ndrangheta organized crime organization. The 55-year-old Gratteri, himself a target of mafia threats, says the pope's effort to reform the church is making the "'Ndrangheta "very nervous." LOS ANEGELS, CA (Catholic Online) - A state prosecutor in the southern Italian region of Calabria, Gratteri says that the "'Ndrangheta is most active" in his region. Considered by experts in Italy to be the most dangerous, most unified and most difficult to penetrate mafia-type organization in the country, Gratteri says "I cannot say if the organization is in a position to do something like this, but they are dangerous and it is worth reflecting on."If the godfathers can find a way to stop him, they will seriously consider it. AFTER THE UNSPEAKABLE, WE SPEAK HOPE. Support Catholic Online's response to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. DONATE NOW ... "Those who have up until now profited from the influence and wealth drawn from the church are getting very nervous," he added. "For many years, the mafia has laundered money and made investments with the complicity of the church. But now the pope is dismantling the poles of economic power in the Vatican, and that is dangerous." In southern Italy, associations with the church give crime figures legitimacy. Many gangsters have strong and high-profile relationships with local church leaders. Garretti says that most Italian mobsters are practicing Catholics, despite their violent activities.

Super Bowl Ads: Beckham And Arnie Among Stars
Arnold Schwarzenegger dons a blond wig, Laurence Fishburne revives his Matrix character Morpheus and Tom Hiddleston parodies British villains in Hollywood movies.
For most Americans, Super Bowl commercials are almost as much fun of the game itself, and advertisers are going big.
The Super Bowl is advertising's biggest showcase, with more than 108 million people expected to tune into the game.
Companies are paying an estimated $4m (£2.4m) to have their ads be a part of the action.
So it's no wonder they employ Hollywood stars and other global celebrities.
David Beckham bares his chest to promote his Bodywear products for H&M, while Schwarzenegger is seen preparing for a game of ping-pong and Don Cheadle waits for an elevator with a llama, both for Bud Light.
Fishburne brings back his Matrix "blue-pill, red-pill" classic in a commercial for car company Kia - where he gives a couple a choice between a blue key and a red-key.
Jaguar assembles Hiddleston, Sir Ben Kingsley and Mark Strong as a group of British baddies.
Scarlett Johansson features in a controversial commercial for SodaStream, which led the Hollywood star to end her stint as an Oxfam ambassador.
Of course, there will still be ad surprises on Sunday with major brands like Chrysler and Coca-Cola staying mum on at least one of their ads.
