A Perfect Summer DessertSubmitted by: CHEFSOPHIE
I made this trifle for my mom (who is diabetic) for her birthday. It turned out REALLY yummy. What little bit of sugar is in here, could either be left out completely or could be replaced with another sweetener. The agave nectar is low on the glycemic index.Submitted by: DESIGN_LADY05
This is a GREAT summer recipe to bring to a cookout! It looks so pretty in a trifle bowl ($10 Bed Bath & Beyond.com), takes no time at ALL to make and no one will guess its a healthy treat!I put 12 servings in the nutritional info but that is a good size serving - even half that would definitely suffice!Also - using the vanilla sugar free pudding cuts the cals a decent amount and doesnt sacrifice taste at all.Submitted by: ASHLEY82083

Tennis: Little-known Dutch player banned, fined for illegal betting
Published on Jun 10, 2013 9:23 PM
PARIS (AFP) - Dutch tennis player Yannick Ebbinghaus has been suspended for six months and fined for betting illegally on matches, an anti-corruption body announced on Monday.
The Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU) said the 23-year-old admitted breaching article D.1.a of anti-corruption rules 67 times between May 2012 and February 2013.
The article outlaws any direct or indirect attempted or actual wager on the outcome of any aspect of tennis by players.
Three months of the ban will be suspended provided Ebbinghaus does not repeat the offence and attends "anti-corruption education training", the TIU said in an e-mailed statement from London.

Madison Square Garden is in the midst of its second phase of a three-part renovation.
MSG Company President and Chief Executive Hank Ratner led a tour of the arena on Wednesday to reveal the latest improvements.
Phase No. 2 of the renovation is focused on the upper bowl.
Seats in the upper bowl have been elevated by 17 degrees, so fans in the upper level will be approximately 10 feet -- or the equivalent of three rows -- closer to the court.
The seat elevation is expected to improve sight lines from the upper bowl. It also allowed Garden workers to expand the height and width of the upper bowl (8th floor) concourse.
The new concourse will feature more bathrooms and concession stands. It's nearly doubled in size, so fans should be able to walk around with greater ease during games.
In addition, the Garden got rid of the suites on the 10th floor during this most recent phase of renovation. They have been replaced by a fan concourse and more concession stands. Fans walking on the 10th floor will have a view of the court.
The Garden says construction remains on schedule.
Neither the Rangers' deep run in the Stanley Cup playoffs nor recent fires in the arena have caused any delays.
So the arena is set to re-open on Nov. 1 for the Rangers' home opener against the Dallas Stars. The Blueshirts will play their first eight games of 2012-13 on the road.
The Knicks open their home schedule on Nov. 2 against the Miami Heat. Construction will likely force them to play all preseason games away from Madison Square Garden.
In addition to renovating the upper bowl, the Garden has added 58 suites above the lower level seating on the seventh floor. The sixth floor is expected to include an homage to The Garden's more than 130-year history.
Construction is expected to be completed in the 2012-13 offseason.
In the third and final phase of construction, Garden workers are expected to add two walkways above the playing surface for fans and a new main scoreboard.

I'll let Paleobird answer regarding her dad, but if I was you I would wait until I'd been strictly on the Primal diet for a month and then stop taking Statins for a month and get your cholesterol and blood lipids checked. I'd be less concerned about cholesterol and more concerned about the side effects of Statins (especially regarding Alzheimer Disease) - APOE-4: The Clue to Why Low Fat Diet and Statins may Cause Alzheimer's
This is some great basic info on cholesterol. Very well researched.
I agree with canuck416 that you should give the PB plan some time to work and then get yourself re-tested. Doctors like statistics.
Statins have a host of problems associated with them and only marginal proof that they actually do any good. They appear to benefit only one group, men under the age of 65 who have had a major coronary "event" i.e. a heart attack. In people over 65 they have also been shown to cause muscle wasting.
Look up the studies. Inform yourself and walk into the MDs office armed with this knowledge printed out with highlights. And always remember, the doctor works for you, not the other way around. You don't have to ask permission to stop taking a drug. You should, however, always keep your physician informed of any changed in your medication,
You look fantastic!!! Better than most folks I know my age (40s). Thanks for the inspiration.
Just finished my first Murph in 35:23 - whew! Named after Lt. Michael P. Murphy, a member of the Navy SEALs from Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2005. Lieutenant Murphy, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, was an avid CrossFitter known to do the workout every Wednesday while wearing body armor. Its composed of a 1 mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups and 300 squats followed by a 1 mile run.
The secret is to break up the workout into segments and try not to go into oxygen debt (stay below your anaerobic threshold). I feel I can take some time out of this first attempt with a bit of practice and conditioning. Give it a try, its a great challenge and a way to measure your fitness.

Wow, I used to live in Patchogue. Long before this hero was born since I am old now.
Amazing his workout.

Can you give me some tips for rock 'n' roll supremacy?
Games Guru: With the DS version, battle pals for rock 'n' roll supremacy wirelessly with these tips:
— Gain star power by hitting a series of glowing notes to fill the star power meter. When it's at least half full, get double points by yelling "Rock on" into the mic to activate star power.
— In a place where you can't yell? Blow into the mic for star power.
— Save your star power for sequences with many notes or chords to maximize your multiplier points.
— Got a tricky solo you just can't seem to master? Save star power for when the rock meter gets into the red.
on guitar hero on tour decades, i like sweet home alabama. the end is hard, though.
How do you survive the end Spammery on Sweet home Alabama on GH: decades
Yes you can get Crazy Train.But you have to beat I Don't Wanna Stop on every difficulty on 5* AND be playing on original DS not the lite.You can also get Master of Puppets.
that is wrong. i have the game, and the only unlockable song is 'I Am Not Your Gameboy'.
Also if it was an unlockable song. It wouldn't just be for original nintendo ds as the lite has the exact same system, with a more modern look.
rapper, you cant get crazy train thats only on guitar hero 4
guitar hero is kind of good but it is playable i can stand it for a little while but not for a long time
I beat the game, except the Lynyrd Skynyrd song, can't get it.
there is bonus songs to unlock, too like Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne, I Not Your Gameboy (which I unlocked already) by Freezepop.
Game is cool.
I have completed We're Not Gonna Take It, On Expert and 100% of the notes.
It is pretty easy.
The foo fighters are soo awsome.But I got to say PARAMORE ROCKS more!!!!!
awsome! some real action. the song choice is great but why i play it is because a chalange awaits me on expert.
I beat the Ozzy Osbourne song but i can't beat the two last songs….
Here's how you could unlock 2 new songs:
-beat every song on guitar duel mode on any level that will unlock 'I am Not Your Gameboy" by Freezepop.
-on carreer mode, beat every song on every level but make all of them 5 stars.
i onley have 3 songs left to beat expert:
ozzy osborn
red hot chilly pepper
lynyrd skynyrd
and thats all!!!
My highest score: 360200, The Pretender by Foo Fighters
Does any one know any trick to hit the note at the same time with lots of speed?
The songs I do the most are "We`re Not Gonna Take It" and "Hit Me With Your Best Shot."
I am sooo glad that this was invented.I have on tour and decades.There really fun.I love guitar Hero.Ozzy Osborn in hard and expert is really hard.I can not beat it.Does any one know a trick to hit all the notes in time?
I have it for DS and beat the game. When you are coming up on a really fast part, focus, and when you hit it, run the stylus back and forth against the strings. (this is what i tryed, but I,m pretty sure I just won by luck)
I M so glad they put on a gee-tar hero on tour on this place

I find most of my co-workers, who recently started using Perl, get rather frustrated with all the funny symbols. Also, the OOP is kinda weak. Moose fixes that, but costs a lot to load up and came a little late in the game. I don't find these things so bad personally, but some people do. The real question is: why come to a site full of Perl fans to see what's so bad about Perl? We like it. Try the Python forums. They'll have a list of complaints. -Paul

For those of you looking for a really nice dog park with wonderful woods, miles of trails and vast open spaces, try McLaren park.
McLaren Park was opened in 1927 and is named for John McLaren, known as the Grandfather of Golden Gate Park. It is located just off 101 and is nestled at the top of the Excelsior district and contains 312 acres of open land to roam around.
You can reach the park from Mansell or Persia Avenues in the Excelsior/Portola Districts. The Park is a hidden gem in the City and is the second largest city park in San Francisco, only slightly smaller than the much busier Golden Gate Park. You'll even find the Jerry Garcia Amphitheater, picnic areas, tennis courts and even a lake!
The beauty of McLaren Park is the open spaces. You'll often find yourself with a trail to yourself and parking is never an issue, even on the weekends. You'll get majestic views of the downtown area and the bay, open trails and a place where your dog can swim, run, walk or just lounge around with other park lovers.
To find out more about McLaren Park by visiting the SF Parks & Recreation site.
Enjoy the park!

March 20, 2010Dear Basim,In early February of this year our 20+ year old HVAC system failed in our VA Beach home. The hvac repairman that came out to fix the problem suggested that I purchase a new system. So, I contacted several companies, including Michael & Son, to get quotes. Of all the companies that gave us quotes, Michael & Son had one of the best. However the reason I choose M&S was because of the salesman, Frank Disbrow and the description he gave of your companies commitment to customer satisfaction.The commitment was tested shortly after our new HVAC system was installed.After the new system was installed, I noticed a vibration coming from the blower that caused a rattling noise whenever it was on. I called Frank in the morning to tell him about it and by the afternoon a hvac tech from M&S had stopped by and fixed it. Overall, I've been very pleased with my new HVAC system and the service provided by M&S. I will happily recommend M&S to others.Kind Regards,Art C.

Ferrari have refused to comment on a report in Italy that engine chief Luca Marmorini has left the team.
Corriere dello Sport reported that the 52-year-old, who has overseen the design and development of the Scuderia's V6 turbo, has departed - a response, seemingly, to their underwhelming performances so far this year.
Speaking at Silverstone, a Ferrari spokesman said: \"I have no comment to make on this. We are re-organising several areas of our structure and when we're ready to make an announcement, we'll let you know.\"
If Marmorini has indeed left, he will be the second big name to depart Maranello after Team Principal Stefano Domenicali headed for the exit in April.
His replacement Marco Mattiacci is currently pressing ahead with a process of restructuring at Ferrari, whose response to F1's new hybrid era has paled by comparison with the efforts of fellow works team Mercedes.
Despite the ability both outfits have to build their cars in-house - seen as a real advantage given the emphasis the rules are placing on the new breed of power units - Mercedes have clearly made better use of the resources at their disposal.
The creators of their W05 chassis have also influenced the design of Mercedes' all-conquering engine, resulting not only in F1's most powerful hybrid unit but also the best-packaged car.
The fact that Ferrari's F14 T resembles the Mercedes reflects a similar design approach but the 059/3 unit is, relatively speaking, overweight, underpowered and with a harsher power delivery.
More performance is being eked out as reliability improves and Ferrari feel more confident in exploring the power unit's limits but F1's engine freeze limits hardware changes.
It could be argued that Marmorini, who held a similar role at Toyota when they were in F1, is the ideal man to help dig Ferrari out of the hole they find themselves in because he has overseen the project so far and a measure of development - which tapers off between now and 2020 - is still allowed.
However, if he has left then deputies Mattia Mariz - mentioned in the report - and Mattia Binotto, Ferrari's Engine and Electronics Deputy Director, would presumably be candidates to replace him.
Since Mattiacci's arrival, Ferrari's attempt to return to winning ways has led to intense speculation linking big names like Adrian Newey and Ross Brawn to the team.
Newey has since committed his future to Red Bull - albeit in a reduced role - while Brawn appears content to stay away from F1 for now.
With Ferrari currently standing third in the Constructors' Championship, Mattiacci recently outlined how they might improve in the short term at least.
\"There is a clearly defined development programme that we are working through and which will see us bring updates to every race,\" he said.
\"Another major target is to speed up our reaction time, which is something our competitors seem to manage to do.\"

The Indoor Kids #4: Todd Levin
By Katie Levine on August 1, 2011
The Indoor Kids welcome Todd Levin (writer on Conan) to the show to discuss his series of articles "Consoles I Have Known" (http://www.themorningnews.org/archive/tag/consolesihaveknown). They take a nostalgic tour of the first consoles they ever bought, the first games they ever beat, and which video games have special emotional significance for them. And Seaman. They talk about Seaman.
Follow @kumailn, @alibakes, and @toddlevin on Twitter!
Check out Todd's website, too!
The first console I ever had was the good ole' Atari 2600. I flipped Asteroids 3 times and Yar's Revenge twice, beat Moon Patrol, though I always had a hard time on Joust and River Raid. My second console was the Nintendo, with of course Super Mario, which I beat several times; super Mario 2, which I beat; and Iron Warrior, Ninja Gaiden, and Castlevania 2, all of which are tied for the best video game music ever. I don't play video games now–even on the computer–so this is all just a distant memory for me.
My first console (if you can call it that) was a Commodore 64, with the ATARI expansion pack. The first game I beat was Moon Shuttle (like space invaders, but more NASA). I never owned a formal console until the Xbox 360 came out. I was however a PC gamer up until that time. I got really into the NFS & Midtown franchises. I'm attached to the NFS franchise because it's what got me into my career, Graphic Design. It started with simple texture swap modding, and ended with a full graphical/geometry port of a F1 car from F1:2001 into NFS:HP2.
My Dad bought us a Super Nintendo when it came out and some of my best memories are of us playing Zombies Ate Our Neighbors, and getting yelled at for taking all the items and leaving him none.
But the first console I ever owned and had all to myself was the Playstation; I got the system with Resident Evil: Director's Cut. That was probably the best/scariest Christmas day ever.
Ultimately I think one of the coolest video game things I recall from child hood was the Sega Channel — the fact that you could have access to so many games on a single cartridge, through the cable service was mind blowing.
I always thought Shadowrun (Genesis) and Jungle/Urban Strike (Saturn) were kind of violent/bloody games. I remember going through them as a kid and trying to just start random fights (and try to survive) or cause as much damage as possible.
But yeah, this was a pretty awesome episode. It really is easy to get nostalgic about games, and to define points in our life by what we were playing at the time.

Any console I owned after, I blame on the release of an exclusive Resident Evil game (Code Veronica – Dreamcast, Resident Evil 0/Remake – Gamecube, etc.).

The first game I played that felt like I was in charge of my character, was Phantasy Star Online (Dreamcast). I had never played a game where you could create your own character like that and I thought it was absolutely amazing.
But yeah, this was a pretty awesome episode. It really is easy to get nostalgic about games (as seen above), and to define points in our life by what we were playing at the time.
shit got real on this one yall.
My first console was Super Nintendo and the first game I beat on it was Super Mario World. I still remember when my best friend showed me how to unlock the Star World and I like never felt so accomplished before – this was around 6th or 7th grade for me. I also loved that no matter how new the game was, you still had to fucking blow on the tapes to get them to work LOL.
The first console I really started playing was Genesis and I remember being on the Sonic side of the Sega v. Nintendo debate. Tails was my favorite character at the time and 2 player coop Sonic was great. That flying fox did most of the work. I assume Mario and Luigi were crappy plumbers anyway.
Going into this series, I was familiar with Kumail but not Ali and this felt like that episode where I could finally say "Okay, now I know her." I listened to this episode late at night, so for me, it truly gave off the vibe of hanging out late at night, when everyone is getting a little tired, and conversation takes deeper turns. When the night is over, you think back and realize your friendships just stepped-up a notch. Superb ep
My first console was the family's NES, but my own personal one was the Game Gear, so it's always cool to hear Ali bring that up.
I have the unique privilege of my first ever gaming experience being the VIRTUAL BOY.
I'll never forget playing games like Virtual Boy Mario's Tennis and Virtual Boy Wario Land because I think the virtual boy literally burned them into my skull.
Luckily for me the virtual boy broke before I went fucking blind and my dad came home one night with a super nintendo. Anyone else remember saturday night slam masters and the aerosmith game where you shoot cd's at people?
Thanks you guys this podcast reminded me of a game that meant a lot to me when I was younger Abe's Odyssey I can't wait to play the version that will be in xbox arcade.
I'm loving this podcast. My first console, wasn't technically a console but a portable. I had the original Gameboy because my mom didn't want an NES hooked up to any of her tvs. I played the crap out of it and I think Super Mario Land was the first game I beat.
I also had the experience of going to friends' houses to play (and watch) new games. I read so many game mags (mainly Gamepro) and spent so much time and money in the arcade, I could at least talk about new games.
The first Kingdom Hearts was a big deal to emotionally. I grew up on Disney films and loved the Final Fantasy mash-up storyline. When I saw Maleficent in the game, I wash 7 years old again, seeing Sleeping Beauty for the first time, being amazed by that dragon.
I sat down one day to run through some fights in the Hercules Olympus arena and ended up beating the game hours later. That game touched me on many levels. It maybe the first and strongest emotional reaction I've ever had from a game.
There were SO many game that had that WHOA factor, ICO was one of them for me. I cant remember the last time I felt so transported into another world, it had such a quite beauty about it.
I was such a 'video game watcher', as you guys described in the podcast, as my cousin would beat countless of Super Nintendo games for me, even though I owned the console. I had just as much fun watching him play as I do when I play games now. Growing up, the games I have the most emotional attachment to are actually incredibly crappy or random, like 'Nickelodeon GUTS' or 'Primal Rage', but I loved them all.
This was definitely a pivotal episode for the podcast. There were so many topics, especially the Sega Genesis/SNES moments, that I related with so much that I wished I was talking about past games with you guys. The Indoor Kids is a great podcast for many reasons, but it's the nostalgia factor that keeps me coming back as a fan. Thanks for the memories!
Thanks for listening everyone! And I am glad you guys have the same sort of emotional memory of the first game you ever beat that we did.
Kevin, I totally relate to you about loving crappy or random games. One of my favorite games was Eternal Champions for the Genesis, because I thought it was Sega's answer to Street Fighter 2 (before it actually came out on the Genesis.) I had convinced myself it was way better. And one of my fave gaming experiences was this game called Quackshot, starring Donald Duck in an Indiana Jones type adventure. I remember one summer day I started playing it early in the morning and was playing it when my dad came home from work at 10 pm, and me telling him excitedly how much progress I had made. He looked at me and said "You should go outside." And I said "I did! I went to Aztec temples & jungles & deserts!" No idea if that game was actually good, but I definitely remember feeling a sense of adventure.
I love hearing all these stories from you guys. Its the best!
I am infatuated with this podcast at this point. Absolutely love it!
Mike Tyson's Punchout was HUGE to me growing up. I think it was my first experience of pre-release hype. My father had a commodore 64 and Intellivision but one Christmas my parents got me a nintendo with Mike Tyson's punchout. I had seen commercials for it and I had spent as much money as I could earn on the arcade "Punchout". (Which wasnt too much like the nes version). So when I unwrapped mike tyson's punchout I literally felt faint. My parents say they were very concerned because I literally went slack jawed and started wobbling. My little mind was blown because I hadnt unwrapped the nes yet and was not expecting punchout. Anyway, I started playing that game and it just felt surreal. To this day I love that game. I have it on my jailbroken Iphone, on my laptop, on my work computer, and on my modded psp.
Your show is getting better. My first console was an NES when I was 3, and then I got an Atari 7200 shortly there after (garage sale when I was little). I played food fight for Atari for hours and hours, because I Mario 1 was easy and I beat it by the time I was 4, but Food Fight never ended. Now, all I seem to want to play are story driven games.
A few corrections for you:
There is no Super Mario World 3, I'm guessing she meant Super Mario Bros 3.
Sonic collects rings, not coins. -
@Ben Z
Nice to see you didn't unsubscribe like you said you were going to.Quick correction for you:
There is no Mario 1, I'm guessing you meant Super Mario Bros. -
@ Brad,

@Brad I did unsubscribe, and still am not subscribed on iTunes. If you read my comments on #3, you would see that I only tried that one because the topic of couples gaming had been on my mind. I listened, hoping for some ideas, and that episode did enough to get me to listen to #4 on nerdist. Now, #4 had some decent stories, so I will likely give #5 a chance. I'm almost interested in more stories to make me feel old. Waiting at the DMV yesterday a 6-8 year old kid said to another, "You should come over and play Call of Duty: Black Ops." I thought:
1) Your parents bought Black Ops for you?
2) When I was his age, Super Mario 3 was amazing, and we bought it on clearance.
3) I'm old. -
@Ben Z
See, I read "unsubscribe" as "I'm never listening to this again". Also, one of those things that annoys me is when you hear little kids playing Call of Duty on Xbox Live or PSN. I cannot understand the parent's mentality behind getting their young kid a Mature-rated game. -
Cool thing* with the weird double-wafers in 2600 Pac-Man, the timing allowed you to kind of play "shave and a haircut."
bonk–bonkbonk–bonk–bonk*given how bad Pac-Man was, this counts as cool.
Loving this Podcast, guys. I found this via Jordan, Jesse, Go.
Oh, and I think that chat thing Ali was referencing in the podcast was… The Palace. It had this paper-doll esqe system where you could put clothes on and what-not and travel through 2D point-and-click environments. It was an interesting system and completely fun to grief people in.
Atari 2600 was my first console. I had broken my leg when I was 6 years old, which would have been around 1982. My mom bought me an Atari from a coworker with 20+ games. Played that thing forever!! Still play River Raid on emulators.
Also about the Tails comment from Sonic. Nickname is Tails, name is Miles Prower = Miles Per Hour. Go Blast Processing!
i loved this episode!!!

2014 Little Rock Regional Economic Briefing: Presentations and Photos
The 2014 Little Rock Regional Economic Briefing presentations and photos are now available.
The Use and Misuse of Economic Impact Studies - Post Conference Report
On Friday, September 12th, economists from the IEA research group held a half day conference focusing on the uses and misuses of economic impact analysis. The conference had a diverse audience including 17 participants from several state agencies, state universities, and economic development organizations across the state.
Dr. Bruce Seaman, Associate Professor in the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at Georgia State University was the luncheon speaker. Dr. Dennis Robinson and Dr. Gregory Hamilton both senior research economists at IEA also presented at the conference. The three economist discussed factors accounting for the differences between what is considered a legitimate study from those that have biases in their estimates. Conference attendees gained insights into how to identify legitimate economic impact studies from those that are not and the reasons for the dubious impact results.

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Weary Berwick survives Winsor
Sunday, February 9, 2014
SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — It took the Berwick Academy girls basketball team a little while to shake off the cobwebs on Saturday afternoon, but for good reason.
Dana Brooks added nine points and Maggie DuChene pulled down 12 rebounds following a 15-point performance Friday night. Torie St. Pierre had three steals. "When we finally settled in to our style of play, we did better," Sanborn said. "When you have a tired team, maybe doing what's normal is best." Both teams struggled mightily on the offensive side in the first half, as Berwick did not score from the field until more than four minutes into the frame. St. Pierre scored her first points with just over four minutes to go before halftime when she drained a 3-pointer to give Berwick a 16-13 lead. The relief on St. Pierre's face was evident. "It took a while for us to warm up," St. Pierre said. "Especially after (Friday), it was a struggle. When we were running the floor, rotating the ball around the 3-point line, we did a lot better."
Berwick ended the first half on an 11-2 run and led 23-14 at the break.
Winsor (9-8) 14 21 — 35 |

Homosexual people want the right to be able to register their relationships as a marriage. The issue of same-sex marriages has been prominent in the courtrooms and in the media. There have been hundreds of court dates around the world to try and settle the issue. Homosexuals have been in an uproar over the right to be married. The Angus Reid Group polled 1,500 Ontario residents in May of 1999, 59% of those with university degrees were in favour of homosexual marriages, compared to only 38% of those who had not completed high school. They call on the government to recognise the issue, based on the Charter of Rights, which states that no one should be discriminated against. The government, religious sects, heterosexuals and homosexuals all have different views on how this issue should be handled. Canada needs to come to an agreement and stop this discrimination.
In September of 2000 the Netherlands passed a law that gave same-sex couples the right to be married, with all the same benefits an opposite-sex couple receives. The Dutch were the first people to be allowed this. The Canadian government is at this time debating over the issue. Parliament is split. On September 16, 2002, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that same-sex marriages should not be recognised because the point of a marriage is to procreate and homosexuals cannot procreate together. This view was appealed and in British Columbia, on May 01 2003 the judge ruled that the current law on marriage needed to be changed. She gave the government until July to revise the laws. After the July 12 2004 there will be no law against these marriages. Same-sex couples plan to get married at the stroke of midnight that day, many having waited for over fifteen years.
Parliament was arguing the point before this ruling, and must look more closely at it now. Some government officials believe this problem should be put on the back burner, homelessness needing to be addressed first. Others believe all issues should be addressed equally. That would be like saying we cant give women the vote until we eliminate unemployment, stated Scott Brison, a Tory. [ Fraser, Graham, National affairs writer, Toronto Star, Mar. 24, 2003. ] The government has four possible decisions at this point. The first one is to leave the definition of marriage as it is, making it so homosexuals cannot marry. The second would be to allow same-sex couples to be married according to the present marriage laws. The next two rulings deal with civil unions, which would allow same-sex couples to register for marriage in a civil way, not involving religion. The first of this type of option is they would co-exist with marriage. The second would be there would be one registry for all couples with the federal government, and religious ceremonies would have nothing to do with it. [Maccallum, Heather, The Daily Gleaner, March 31 2003]
Some politicians believe marriage should be a religious thing, and same-sex marriages go against religion. The largest religious group in Canada is Christian, and they are taught homosexuality is a sin. The Bible has been the major reason for not allowing same-sex marriages. This is due to Biblical passages such as Leviticus 18:22 "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. Leviticus also condemns many other things that modern Christians do, including eating shellfish, wearing fabrics made from two different fibres (e.g., wool/cotton blends), and planting two crops in a single field. [Christian Views on Homosexuality, Wikipedia, Mar 2003, www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christi…
Many churches try to get rid of any homosexual patrons, but there are still many gays who follow Christianity.
Despite Leviticus, there is evidence that the early Christian Church was not against homosexuality. The early Christians were mostly made up of the Romans. The Romans, like the Greeks, were open about sexuality. Male homosexuality was not uncommon during that time. A Kiev art museum contains an icon from St. Catherine's monastery on Mt. Sinai. It shows two robed Christian saints. Between them is a traditional Roman pronubus (best man) overseeing what in a standard Roman icon would be the wedding of a husband and wife. In the icon, Christ is the pronubus. The only unusual thing is the "husband and wife" are in fact two men. These men are St. Serge and St. Bacchus, two Roman soldiers who became Christian martyrs. These two men were described in the definitive 10th century Greek account of their lives. St. Serge was openly described as the "sweet companion and lover" of St. Bacchus. [Boswell, John, Same-Sex Unions in Premodern Europe, 1994 ] For most modern Christians the idea that homosexuality would be accepted in such a manner seems incredible.
Yale history professor John Boswell searched for twelve years in Catholic and Orthodox church archives and discovered a type of Christian homosexual "marriage" that existed as late as the 18th century. He found that in addition to heterosexual marriage ceremonies there were ceremonies called, among other titles, the "Office of Same Sex Union" (10th and 11th century Greek) or the "Order for Uniting Two Men" (11th and 12th century). During these ceremonies a community gathered in a church, there was a blessing of the couple before the altar, their right hands were joined just as at heterosexual marriage, the priest was present, and there was a wedding banquet afterwards. All of these are shown in contemporary drawings of the same sex union of Byzantine Emperor Basil I (867-886) and his companion John. Such homosexual unions also took place in Ireland in the late 12th / early 13th century, as a chronicler Gerald of Wales recorded. While homosexuality was technically illegal from the late Roman times, it was only from about the 14th century that anti-homosexual feelings swept Western Europe. [Young,Robin Darling, Gay Marriage: Reimagining Church History, www.firstthings.com/ftissues/f…
Many Christians feel uncomfortable at the thought that a priest would have to perform a marriage thats against their religion. Christianity largely influences our laws and moral views, but with this religious history it gives us another reason to rethink why homosexuality is considered wrong.
Though religion influences a large part of our society, there are other parts not necessarily influenced by it that need to be looked at. There are heterosexuals who believe that by granting homosexuals marriage they are being given special rights. By having Pride Parades they are separating themselves from other people, and are hypocrites to ask to be like everyone else.
Some are worried over the idea that once granted marriage, same-sex couples would want to adopt a child. Many people believe a child raised in a homosexual household would not receive the needed mother and father situation. They believe a child will not develop properly, and would become a homosexual themselves. The other thought is that a child with same-sex parents would spend their years being ridiculed for it. Some are worried a child would end up scarred mentally. [Bailey, J. Michael. Sexual Orientation of Adult Sons of Gay Fathers. Developmental Psychology. 1995, Vol. 31, No. 1, 124-129]
There has been no evidence that any of the above would happen. Many children brought up in a same-sex household are perfectly normal. Jamie Lee Curtis was raised in a lesbian home, and is not a lesbian herself. However, due to the current issues against homosexuals, those who are homosexual or raised by homosexuals are reluctant to say so. Again, the Netherlands has been the first to allow adoption to same-sex couples. Though children are a logical next step after marriage, same-sex couples are going one step at a time.
Time will tell how are society will change, or if it will. We have to change to go along with the times. We are a country who prides itself on being open and not discriminating toward other cultures and ethnic groups. Canada should stop being discriminatory toward people who live different, healthy lifestyles. We are not out to destroy religion, we just want the same rights, said Wayne Toole, a gay man from Moncton. Same-sex couples only want what is given to the rest of the country. They want the pension and life insurance of a spouse when they die, they want the tax breaks and they want to be able to openly show their love for each other without living in sin. The government has been given an ultimatum, and should live up to expectations. The world is changing and Canada should be near the head of the line.


text: Touchstone: A Journal of Mere Christianity "Statutes of Liberty" first appeared in the Nov/Dec 2011 issue of Touchstone. Statutes of LibertyGillis Harp on the Tyranny of Modern Freedom versus the Freedom of Jesus The 125th anniversary of Grove City College was marked by the publication of an institutional history entitled Freedom's College. The title was appropriate given the college's long-established defense of American political and economic freedoms. The title was also inspired by the famous Supreme Court case of the 1980s when the college defended her independence from federal interference. It strikes me as very wise for a Christian college to enjoy a good deal of independence from intrusive state controls. The separation of church and state is one of the historical distinctives that helps account for the relative health and prosperity that Christian churches have enjoyed in the United States in contrast to the experience of Christianity in, say, Western Europe. This sort of freedom and other historic American political freedoms should definitely be celebrated and defended by Christians. But I would like to address some problematic notions of freedom that have gained currency among American Christians, especially in recent decades. Some conservative Christians have, I fear, uncritically accepted ideas of personal and civil freedom that are at odds with traditional Christian teaching. Some have naively accepted what are essentially Enlightenment understandings of liberty that are at best in tension with what Scripture and Christian tradition teach. First, I'd like to survey the sources of these popular views and clarify the problems with them. Next, I'll describe a Christian perspective on this subject. And, finally, to conclude, I'll try to offer a few practical suggestions about how to resist this tendency. My main point is a simple one: that for the Christian, freedom can never be asserted in an unqualified, absolute sense, without limits or some higher end in view. In other words, the Christian must always ask, freedom for what? Undirected Freedom For a long time, and especially since the Enlightenment, many in the West have defined freedom simply as the right to do as I choose, as long as I don't hurt others. Note how this open-ended definition has no larger good or final goal in view. It is primarily negative, i.e., my freedom is defined as the freedom from external restraint or from imposed restrictions. It is often argued that individuals should be left free to pursue their particular ends without reference to some larger social good. Indeed, some enthusiasts assert that there is actually no larger social good. They go as far as to assert that there is no such thing as society! For some, that's just a meaningless abstraction. There are only individual goods, no general interest of the community in any organic or larger corporate sense. Our self-centered consumerist society has latched onto this particular idea of freedom in recent decades. Of course, by doing so, it reduces our significant freedoms to trivial choices. I remember a promotional program that the convenience store Seven-Eleven ran back in the nineties. It was for their soda-fountain drinks. Big posters in red, white, and blue proclaimed: "Super Big-Gulp. America Loves the Freedom!" At the time, I wondered what foreign visitors would think about the American idea of liberty when it was reduced to being able to purchase a garbage-can-sized cup of Mountain Dew. Clearly, this is choice with no higher end in view, choice as an end in itself; choice reduced to just following my personal passion for soda or Slurpees. William Cavanaugh, a theologian who teaches at St. Thomas University in Minnesota, addresses the question of this trivialized notion of freedom and how impoverished it is. He argues (drawing upon Aristotle and others) that this sort of freedom has no end; it is undirected freedom. Cavanaugh argues that for freedom to really constitute and create human freedom, there must be a telos, a goal or end in view. In his book Being Consumed: Economics and Christian Desire, he writes, "The absence of objective goods [that is, moral ends worth pursuing] does not free the individual, but leaves him or her subject to the arbitrary competition of wills." It creates the sort of world vividly described by the inspired author of the Book of Judges: "In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes" (Judges 21:25). Cavanaugh cites examples of areas in which such an extreme approach can actually produce what he calls "unfreedom." Nor is this competition of wills fought out on a level playing field. Some commentators praise the consumer as sovereign in our day, yet they overlook the fact that billions of dollars are spent to persuade him to choose certain things, as advertisers cleverly manipulate "goods that cannot be commodified, such as self-esteem, love, sex, friendship and success." In such a system, Cavanaugh concludes, "You still exercise free will, but the dynamics of power have shifted because the situation is set up to advance the interests of others." Free for God This is clearly not the freedom celebrated by traditional Christian thinkers; they have never been indifferent about the particular ends for which one exercises freedom. For example, St. Augustine's political thinking was founded on the idea that what a community loves profoundly shapes what sort of community it will be. Much modern political thinking tries to construct systems that are so flawless that no one has to be good in order for them to function. They run on their own, with no need of human virtue. Yet Augustine repudiated such an approach. He understood that he who worships the self will create a self-absorbed community. Undergraduates often experience this truth in their dorm life. A selfish roommate can easily destroy genuine community. Instead, Christians have always hastened to ask, "Freedom yes, but for what?" In Freedom, Faith and the Future, Michael Ramsey, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, said that in the mid-twentieth century "we know what we want to free men from. Do we know what we want to free men for?" Freedom simply to follow my personal whims or passions is ultimately slavery. Just obeying my every desire can ultimately be a horrible bondage for sinners like you and me. Christians have historically seen such a model of freedom as mere license, not true Christian freedom. By contrast, Ramsey contended that the Christian is always "free from someone and free for someone. He is free from self, and free for God." Of course, Jesus himself is our most powerful example, with what Ramsey characterized as his amazing "blending of authority and self-effacement." Significantly, Jesus is free, but free "into another." Note how Christ says that he must be about his Father's business, and how he asks in the Garden of Gethsemane before his crucifixion that not his will but the Father's be done. Jesus allowed short-term concerns to be overridden by the Father's larger redemptive plan. Of course Jesus isn't only our example in this realm of personal freedom; he is also the one who actually makes our real freedom possible. As Ramsey explains, "Christians see Jesus not only as the image of what freedom is but the source of freedom to us." That is, in personal relationship with Jesus, we learn "about God as creator and saviour and about ourselves as creatures and sinners, we are set in the path which leads to the freedom of mature sonship." The Blessing of Authority But our challenge as Christians in today's world is complicated. First, we are certainly called to fight the public injustices that destroy human freedom. In this struggle, we should cooperate with non-Christians, men and women of good will who share such concerns. But at the same time, our vocation is to proclaim a message that is offensive to the modern mind and therefore a difficult calling. It is a message about a higher understanding of freedom than that put forward by the Enlightenment and its followers. It is the message that the enemy of this higher freedom is, to quote Ramsey again, the "self," and that the goal of this higher freedom is the "glory of God." American Christians haven't always done a good job of making that latter point. Instead, we have often been seduced by the Enlightenment's perspective and the narcissistic, consumerist version of liberty that blossomed during the twentieth century. There was a time when Americans understood these truths better. The first governor of the Massachusetts Bay colony, John Winthrop, drew a helpful distinction between natural and civil liberty. The first was the freedom that individuals have to do whatever they want. It is the same natural liberty that animals enjoy. But, as Winthrop explained, "If you stand for your natural corrupt liberties, and will do what is good in your own eyes, you will not endure the least weight of authority, but will murmur, and oppose, and be always striving to shake off that yoke" (as documented in Judges). On the other hand, civil liberty for Winthrop was founded upon hierarchy and subjection to authority. We modern Westerners aren't comfortable with those concepts! By contrast, we have embraced instead a very individualistic, rights-based attitude. Studying Scripture can help us clarify our thinking on this subject. The Book of Judges and the Old Testament in general furnish many negative examples of this sort of individualism. Left to their own devices, individuals doing what's right in their own eyes can make quite a mess of things. Commenting on the passage from Judges previously cited, John Wesley concluded, "Blessed be God for magistracy!" At the same time, in Galatians, the Apostle Paul explains what real freedom, Christian freedom, is for: "You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: 'Love your neighbor as yourself'" (Gal. 5:13–14). Bolstering Family & Communal Duties How, then, should we as Christians confront our culture's destructive hyper-individualism, its unbalanced stress on individual rights? Cardinal George of Chicago commented recently that "in the United States, individualism as an ideology is so closely associated with creativity and personal freedom that the Gospel's injunction to surrender oneself to Christ and to others in order to be free has become largely incomprehensible." How can we make it more comprehensible? One thing we could certainly work on is the bolstering and promoting of mediating institutions, such as the traditional family. "If, in fact, we are able to strengthen family life," Cardinal George concludes, "when it seems to be dissolving, that would be a great step forward, because there people learn that they are not the most important person." Perhaps we can also begin to change our political language, not always insisting on our rights but stressing our communal duties instead. Such a change of approach can certainly help both the private and public spheres—both our political life and our family life. May God grant us the grace not to be indifferent about our ultimate ends, but to always ask "Freedom for what?" and to use our freedom primarily in the service of others. • Gillis J.

Giggs reveals exit regret
02 Jun 2007 - 17:40:40
Ryan Giggs admitted he was bowing out of international football with a heavy heart following Wales' 0-0 Euro 2008 qualifier with Czech Republic.
The retiring Giggs received a rousing ovation from the Millennium Stadium crowd when was replaced in the 89th minute of the goalless stalemate which effectively ended Wales' hopes of qualifying for next summer's finals.
Wales produced arguably their best performance of a disappointing qualifying campaign and the veteran Manchester United winger admitted it was a wrench to leave the international arena.
"I don't think you could pick a best player today, everyone was outstanding," he told Sky Sports after being named man of the match.
"The Czech Republic are a very good team but we made them look ordinary at times.
"I'm just disappointed. With the chances we created that we just couldn't put the ball in the net.
"But that's the benchmark, a great performance right from the start. Defensively we didn't give them a kick. We created chances, so that's what we need to do in the future."
However, Giggs admitted he would rue a 68th minute miss when he wasted the opportunity to sign off on a goalscoring high after ending a trademark mazy run with a weak shot.
"I should have scored," he conceded. "I'd done the hard work and beat a couple of players but whipped it too much really.
"I should have scored and put it in the corner."

JANA Partners Announces Candidates For Agrium Board
Each of JANA's candidates has invested personally in Agrium and will also be incentivized by JANA based upon the performance of Agrium's shares for all Agrium shareholders. JANA stated today that it is willing to work with the current Board to ensure that any changes in composition will not raise regulatory issues for or burdens on Agrium, including with respect to the number of Canadian directors who are ultimately seated.
Biographical Information for JANA's Candidates
David Bullock: Mr. Bullock was the Chief Financial Officer of Graham Packaging Inc. ("Graham Packaging"), a global supplier of plastic packaging, from 2009 to 2011, where he led the company from private ownership under Blackstone to a public listing and its ultimate sale to Reynolds Group at a substantial premium to its IPO price.
Prior to Graham Packaging, Mr. Bullock was Chief Financial Officer (2003-2007) and Chief Operating Officer (2007-2008) of United Agri Products, Inc. ("UAP") which, prior to its acquisition by Agrium, was the largest independent distributor of agricultural input products in the U.S. and Canada with approximately 350 stores. At UAP, Mr. Bullock was responsible for improving the business including the creation and implementation of its supply chain and logistics strategy and implementation of its core operating systems and controls. UAP was cited by Agrium's financial advisor, Morgan Stanley, as the best comparable peer for Agrium's Retail business ( see Agrium's August 20, 2012 Investor Update, page 9).
Mr. Bullock was a key member of the management team that created substantial value by separating UAP from agricultural conglomerate ConAgra Foods, Inc. in an acquisition by Apollo Management and then turning UAP around through substantial operating improvements. Mr. Bullock also oversaw the subsequent public offering of UAP and its eventual sale to Agrium at a substantial premium to its IPO price. The successful turnaround of UAP has made it one of the top performing investments in Apollo's history. Prior to UAP, Mr. Bullock held management positions with FMC Corporation. Mr. Bullock has a B.S. from Lehigh University and an M.B.A. from Cornell University. According to JANA, during Mr. Bullock's tenure at UAP from 2002 to 2008, the company experienced significant operating profit growth and margin expansion, driving EBITDA growth of more than 16% per year.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

OncoMed Pharmaceuticals Granted Additional Broad Anti-RSPO Antibody Patent In U.S.
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Sept. 25, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OncoMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:OMED), a clinical-stage company developing novel therapeutics that target cancer stem cells (CSCs), or tumor-initiating cells, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted OncoMed its third broad U.S. patent relating to antibodies that target the RSPO-LGR pathway, which is believed to be an important CSC pathway. The new patent, U.S. Patent No. 8,540,989, covers methods of treating cancer with antibodies that bind human R-spondin (RSPO) proteins and either disrupt the binding of such proteins to their receptors, the leucine-rich repeat-containing G-coupled receptors (LGRs), or disrupt RSPO activation of LGR signaling.
The new patent is based on key discoveries by OncoMed scientists that RSPO proteins signal through the LGR receptor family and that antibodies that disrupt binding of RSPO proteins to LGRs or that disrupt RSPO activation of LGR signaling are potential anti-cancer agents. OncoMed has identified multiple antibodies targeting the RSPO-LGR pathway and demonstrated the activity of these antibodies in preclinical studies. OncoMed plans to file an Investigational New Drug filing on its first antibody targeting the RSPO-LGR pathway in as early as 2014. OncoMed has worldwide rights to all of its RSPO-LGR pathway programs.
Two broad composition-of-matter patents related to the new patent were previously granted in the U.S. to OncoMed. The composition-of-matter patents cover human, humanized, and chimeric monoclonal antibodies that disrupt binding of RSPO proteins to LGRs or disrupt RSPO activation of LGR signaling. The claimed antibodies include both anti-RSPO antibodies and anti-LGR antibodies. Related patent applications are currently pending in the U.S., Europe, Japan, Canada, and Australia. OncoMed's patent portfolio also includes additional patent applications directed towards antibodies that target the RSPO-LGR pathway.
"The RSPO-LGR pathway is increasingly considered to be one of the key pathways regulating cancer stem cells," said Paul J. Hastings, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OncoMed. "The grant of this additional anti-RSPO antibody patent to OncoMed further strengthens OncoMed's intellectual property position in the U.S. for antibodies targeting this key cancer stem cell pathway, including OncoMed's own anti-RSPO antibody programs."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
