Spring 2015 Church Audits
December 3, 2014 | Written by Matt Carter
Spring 2015 church audit courses made specially available to members of supporting congregations for an audit fee of $25 per course. These are the same graduate courses taken with credit students.
HST offers a variety of courses in ministry and theology, and we try to make as wide a range as possible to our church auditors. These are the upcoming church audit courses. Click the course name for the syllabus, and the professors name for information about the professor.
To register for a church audit course, click here.
Tuesday, 6-7:30 pm, January 20 – May 12.
Dr. Mark E. Powell has recently released a book, Centered in God: The Trinity and Christian Spirituality. This one-credit course explores this doctrine that is so central to the Christian faith in a way that will help Christians not only understand more about God, but will help them grow closer to God. Dr. Powell created this course with church auditors in mind.
Thursday, 6:00 – 8:45, January 22 – May 14.
Dr. Huffard has cross-cultural experiences as a missionary to Muslims in Israel and in inner-city ministry in LA. He combines this personal experience with academic preparation in teaching multicultural ministry. Building on a biblical theology of diversity, hospitality, reconciliation, and inclusion, this course will study issues of leadership, worship, and evangelism in a multicultural church. Models of multicultural churches will be surveyed. Application to various ministries will be experienced through a field education experience and case studies.
The church audit program serves members of congregations which support the school with at least $1200/year ($100/month). Members of these congregations may audit select courses each semester for $25 per course. That's right – any member of a supporting congregation can attend the same graduate courses as credit students and learn from world class professors for next to nothing!
How do I participate?
To help your congregation join this program, contact the Advancement Office at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 901-761-1355.

Asian and Latin American Sabbaticals Fall 2014
July 29, 2014 | Written by Matt Carter
Kok Bin Ong and Guadalupe Mayo on campus this fall
Kok Bin Ong and his wife Esther are the 2014 recipients of the Hogan-Cate Asian Missions grant. They come from the Church of Christ in Seremban, Malaysia where he has preached since 1988. They come with a wealth of ministry experience and are highly respected as great servants of God. They have three grown children. This sabbatical will give him an opportunity to "recharge his batteries" in a context where he can enjoy fellowship, have access to a great library, audit several classes and do some writing.
Learn more about the Hogan-Cate Asian Missions Sabbatical.
Guadalupe Mayo is the recipient of the 2014 Latin American Missions grant. He has a degree in Industrial Psychology and is a 2006 graduate of Baxter Institute in Honduras. He has been the director of the education program at the Kennedy Church of Christ in Tegucigalpa since 2005 and Director of Practical Ministry and Student Life at Baxter Institute since 2007. Lenin Munguia, a recent graduate of HST, says "he works tirelessly on behalf of the cause of Christ." He is here to see what it would take to start a counseling program to address the spiritual and emotional needs of brothers and sisters in his community; to gain new perspectives for his ministry; and be an advocate for Latin American missions. His wife, Patti, is in the last year of medical school, and could not join him. They have a 2-year old son, Isai.

HST Announces Church Audit Courses for Fall 2014
July 23, 2014 | Written by Matt Carter
HST is offering two valuable church audit courses for Fall 2014. Church audit courses are one way that HST serves local churches. This program blesses congregations which support the school with at least $1200/year ($100/month). Members of these congregations may audit select courses each semester for $25 per course. That's right – members of these supporting churches can attend the same graduate courses as credit students and learn from world class professors for next to nothing!
An auditor takes a course, but does not receive credit. Some auditors will read all of the assigned texts and even take the exams, others will simply come to the class meetings to hear the lectures.
Monday, 6-8:45 pm, August 18 – December 8.
This course provides an introduction to historical, biblical, and cultural aspects of worldwide evangelism, with the purposes of both preparing individuals for service as missionaries and assisting sending churches in their tasks. This includes a survey of principles, methods and practical aspects of developing and maintaining a missions ministry in a local church. Recommended especially for missions committee members.
Tuesday, 6:00 – 8:45, August 19 – December 9.
This course involves students in the exegesis of the English text of the Gospel of John, with emphasis on major theological themes of John's account of Jesus' ministry and death.
How do I participate?
To help your congregation join this program, contact the Advancement Office at email@example.com or by calling 901-761-1355.

Sanderson Reflects on the HST Alma Mater
November 19, 2013 | Written by Matt Carter
Leon Sanderson recently reflected on the composition of the HST Alma Mater.
An alma mater is written to recognize a school providing training and growth for life ahead. The graduate school of Harding with its beginning in Searcy in 1954 has a rich heritage out of which this process has occurred for more than 1200 students. With the desire to affirm and celebrate the service of Harding School of Theology, Bill Flatt, Don Kinder and Leon Sanderson set out to write an honoring piece.
The concept at the beginning was to consider the work of HST as a pebble in a lake that produces ever-widening circles. The stanzas speak of the vision of the founding fathers lived out through commitment and Christian service world-wide. After review, Carisse Berryhill captured this focus in the phrase, "to seek, to learn, to be." The opening notes of the piece mirror the Harding University Alma Mater written by L. O. Sanderson. The "foothills of the Ozarks" are reflected in the "banks of the river." [Mississippi river] The chorus opens in majestic unison with recognition of God and our relationship with Him, "O God you are our God." These words make clear the importance of theology in the school's name. Thus a song is born to describe and perpetuate this distinguished institution.
Read the lyrics or download the sheet music.
Sanderson earned the M.R.E. (1963), M.Div. (1988), and D.Min. (2007) from HST. He was named Alumnus of the Year in 2008, and currently serves as the president of the HST Alumni Association.
He serves as associate minister at the Church of Christ at White Station in Memphis.

HST Library Goes the Distance
September 28, 2012 | Written by Matt Carter
As HST continues to expand its efforts to make education available to more students through distance education, the library has kept pace by providing services to this our distance students. In the 2011-12 academic year, our librarians met nearly 400 student requests for materials. They posted 75 books in the mail, in addition to sending nearly 1,000 articles as PDF e-mail attachments, totaling over 20,000 pages. All this comes at a time when more materials are available online, both on the free web and through our paid subscriptions to databases like the ATLA Religion Database, PsychInfo, PsychArticles, and many others. All these digital services complement the physical collection of books on our Cherry Road campus. Overall, this means that HST students, even at a distance, have access to more materials than ever before.

Coming Together

Monday, August 20: 7:00 in the West Education Center
We kick off the year with our annual convocation. Dr. Monte Cox, Dean of the College of Bible and Ministry at Harding University (Searcy, AR) will speak on our theme for the year, "Lord of the Nations". Dr. Cox served as a missionary in Kenya for ten years prior to becoming a full-time teacher at Harding.

International Conference on Ephesus
May 29, 2012 | Written by Matt Carter
On May 18-19th, twelve scholars gathered at Harding School of Theology to
discuss "Ephesus As a Religious Center under the Principate" (roughly the first three centuries of the Roman empire). The speakers included archaeologists and New Testament scholars from: Austria, New Zealand, and various parts of the United States. They gathered to present papers ranging from recent archaeological discoveries in Ephesus to various cultural features connected with Ephesus that illuminate elements of early Christianity.
The presenters and over 200 attendees gathered in honor of Dr. Richard Oster on the occasion of his 65th birthday. Oster, who has taught New Testament at Harding School of Theology since 1978, has focused much of his academic energies and publishing on materials related to Ephesus and authored the internationally acclaimed article from which the conference got its title. The proceedings of the conference are to be published in a book.
To honor Dr. Oster for his 65th birthday, you may donate a book to the Graves Memorial Library at HST in his honor. Click to order.

Been up 36 hours, here's hoping I can stay awake long enough to see it all!
Printable View
Ok, once the show goes up, I will put up the final trivia question! Time for the show!
Ok guys. Show is up. here is the feedback to use! I gotta get my kid to sleep then Ill post the semi awards show
Best Match:
Best Promo:
Best Piece of Booking:
Best Commentary Line:
Best Debut(When Applicable):
Any Piece of Booking You Didn't Like:
Any Matches and/or Promos That Could've Been Improved:
Any Other Positives:
Any Other Constructive Criticism:
Overall Show Grade:
Best Match: Black Blooded vs. Damaged Goods
Best Promo: KJ Punk
Best Piece of Booking: Fuckin' Jman! Shining Light/Malcolm Adonis ending was insane too.
Best Commentary Line: Rocky: Whatever.. that was gold! But back to my point.. Smith has a schizophrenic and a former acrobat as team mates.. this is gonna go REAL well for him.. hah!
Best Debut(When Applicable): J takes this again.
Any Piece of Booking You Didn't Like: The Endurance Championship match :'( Haha but seriously, I don't think a single piece of booking was wrong.
Any Matches and/or Promos That Could've Been Improved: Nothing to say here.
Any Other Positives: Shaz's promo was exceptional- as was Ali Kazam's.
Any Other Constructive Criticism: Now there's a couple things here. First of all- I would have liked to have seen Kyojin react in some way to the loss. Even if it's just consoling KJ in the ring.
Secondly, there was a lot of heel wins. Not enough face wins in my eyes. In fact, looking back at it- there was 6 heel wins, 1 no contest and 1 face win. I think I counted every match there anyway. That's a poor ratio for face wins.
Overall Show Grade: Not as good as Lost Cause, but I don't think anybody was ever going to expect it to be. I'd say B, the shocks and booking built it up really good.
More feedback after I read the show fully and carefully.
Best Match: Shaz and Chris Divine v. Sagittarius Blue and Rob Rage. Black Blooded v. Damaged Goods comes in close second.
Best Promo: Probably the Shaz Christmas promo. Not a lot of options and his got the best reaction from me. Busted a gut when he told the kids in the crowd that Santa doesn't exist.
Best Piece of Booking: Hard to say but I'd have to give it to Edwards turning on Ryder. We all knew it was coming but out of a win? This could lead to Ryder growing a spine and sticking up for himself.
Best Commentary Line:
Rocky: No! No! This can't be true! Pinch me because I'm in a nightmare!
Mike pinches Rocky.
Rocky: Ow you son of a bitch. I didn't mean it.
Best Debut(When Applicable):
Any Piece of Booking You Didn't Like:
Any Matches and/or Promos That Could've Been Improved: Nope.
Any Other Positives: n/a
Any Other Constructive Criticism:
I just didn't like the idea of everyone pooling together to give Shaz gifts when it might contradict their characters to give him charity. Not a biggie but thought that it didn't really make much sense.
Overall Show Grade: B-

- The current issue of Time (1/16/06) has
an article titled "How To Get Smart One
Breath At A Time" that points to studies
that medically and scientifically prove
that meditation does "...increase attention
span, sharpen focus and improve memory.",
as well as give many other benefits like
"reduces stress" and creates a "focused calm".
This is informative and encouraging, but
the real proof for you can be known only
experientially, and that will only happen
when you actually do meditate. To help that
happen, I suggest checking out our web site
and going through the Archives section and
the Concepts of Meditation section. You will
find all you need to understand what is going on,
and actual "how-to" instructions. Then, pick one
or a few techniques to try, and do them.
As Kir Li Molari has said, "There is no better way
to know about meditation than by meditating."
Peace and blessings,

England v South Africa: Robshaw decision further dents optimism
Decisions, decisions, decisions.
For a second Saturday in succession at Twickenham, England's inexperienced team were left with "what ifs?" and "maybes" rather than the southern hemisphere scalp they so desperately wanted.
A week ago, over-ambition was blamed as kickable penalties were spurned in search of tries in the 20-14 defeat by Australia. On a soggy Saturday against a prosaic if determined South Africa, they went the other way and came up short again.
With the Springboks leading by four points and two minutes left on the clock, England were awarded a penalty 25 metres out. Skipper Chris Robshaw had a stark choice to make: take the three points and hope to secure position from the restart for three more, or kick for the corner and gamble instead on stealing five points from line-out and drive.
Chris Robshaw
"Unfortunately it was probably the wrong call. You have to judge every game as it comes and get a feel for it. That falls on my head. At the end of the day, I have to make those decisions."
These are the moments that can haunt a leader for night after sleepless night. Decide in an instant, live with the repercussions for an age.
Stick or twist? Red or black? Kick or corner?
That Robshaw looked at Owen Farrell and pointed to the posts took his fly-half as much by surprise as it did the crowd. That the three points came but neither the minutes nor opportunity for any more left the captain with hands on head and some spectators bellowing their disbelief.
First, the case for the defence. Robshaw, regardless of the lessons or criticisms of last week, had several key variables to run through his weary loaf.
Was there sufficient time for another attack? Would England make something of it? Could enough territory be made to give Farrell a chance to drop for goal, or would enough pressure be exerted on a tired defence to trigger a South African infringement and a penalty to win it?
Turn it round. What would a line-out and drive realistically bring? The ball was slippery, his forwards' handling poor. The line-out had creaked constantly; a penalty kicked to touch a few minutes earlier had yielded nothing. The South African defence, tested throughout, had never looked like being breached.

Decision made, job done. Except, in Robshaw's case, it wasn't. There were suggestions from those listening to the referee's microphone that he attempted to reverse his call, only for Nigel Owens to turn him down.
Two minds. Too late.
Precious seconds were wasted while a kicking tee was found, more while Farrell gathered himself. Then, when the restart came and appeared to be going straight into touch, Mouritz Botha fumbled the take.
With the loss of possession went the match; with the match went more of the optimism that once surrounded Stuart Lancaster's new-look England regime.
Afterwards, the coach was robust in defence of his captain. "We've got lots of decisions we make in a game. We will sit down as a group on Monday morning when emotion has gone from the game and we discuss them all.
"Some we get right, some we don't get right, and that's the same for any team's development. We back the players and support them. We review it and see if we can do it next time."
Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer, while diplomatic, let a little more slip. "I feel for [Robshaw] because he's in a lose-lose situation. If he kicked for the corner we would have contested it well. But in a sense, I was relieved."
Pivotal points are also never more noticeable than at the very death. In truth, as in many close contests, there were other moments that could have proved just as critical.
Toby Flood, on a disappointing day for England's most experienced player, missed two first-half penalties that on other days he would have landed.
In the same period he put his grubber kick from 10 yards out into touch rather than the path on the onrushing and unmarked Manu Tuilagi; shortly afterwards, Ben Youngs opted to kick rather than run precious turnover ball with an overlap opening up on his outside.
In defeat there was also much to like about England's display. If forwards coach Graham Rowntree was guilty of exaggeration afterwards - "At half-time we had our foot on their throat. We could have been 15 points up - the home scrum was certainly superior and the back row much improved. To the surprise of the stereotypes, England were winning the physical battle.
"Let's not forget South Africa are the second best team in the world and England will be absolutely devastated they couldn't go on and win it. I think we must remember Chris Robshaw is a relatively inexperienced player and doing a great job, but kicking for the corner was the right option at the end. I was a little bit surprised at the decision to turn down a penalty on the halfway line before that which would have given them the opportunity in the last five minutes to go on and win the game. I do think England did a lot better today and played the conditions very well. They will count themselves unlucky and rue a fortuitous South Africa try, which kind of dealt them a hammer blow, and some of those Toby Flood missed penalties in the first half, as well as those key decisions in the second half."
South Africa's try was fortunate in the extreme, a ricochet that fell the only way it could that would allow Willem Alberts to both gather and not be offside. Young buck Joe Launchbury looked every inch an international player and his fellow lock Geoff Parling also impressed in the loose, while Tom Wood justified his recall at blind-side.
There was also plenty to concern.
Conditions were difficult, the opposition ranked as the second best team in the world. But there were problems excused by neither in too many areas.
The line-out, rock solid against Fiji and Australia, malfunctioned as Tom Youngs struggled to keep his throw straight.
Neither Flood nor Farrell impressed in comparison with their opposite number Pat Lambie, struggling to fire their attack and free their runners.
For all their 60% of territory and 58% possession, England seldom looked like crossing the try line. A midfield big on denting and defence still shows little sign of developing a cutting edge; South Africa made 155 tackles to England's 79, but the home side's best chance came from interception not inspiration.
"The pleasing thing from my point of view is that you can't question the character of this England team," said Lancaster afterwards.
"You might have been able to in the past, but you can't with this one. We didn't win, but there's enough there from a young side to give us the confidence to believe in the long term we will."
For the first time in his time in charge, he also looked rattled.
"We're desperately disappointed not to win the game," he admitted. "It was a game we could and should have won."
His side have now emerged victorious in only one of their last six games. Only the incurably optimistic expect that run not to stretch to one in seven.
This was not how the autumn was supposed to work out. Two wins from four were considered the minimum return. With New Zealand in town next week and on a regal roll even by their standards, the immediate outlook at least is as grey as the clouds that drenched south-west London throughout this dispiriting defeat.

Measuring Insider Trading Damages for a Private PlaintiffWilliam K. S. WangUniversity of California, Hastings College of the Law December 27, 2009 UC Davis Business Law Journal, Vol. 10, No. 1, 2009 Abstract: This article draws from section 4.8 of William K.S. Wang & Marc I. Steinberg, Insider Trading (Oxford University Press 3d ed. 2010). The article discusses various measures of the damages of a private plaintiff who sues a stock market insider trading defendant. The measures are: "pure" out of pocket, "expedient" out of pocket, rescissory, and cover. The "pure" out of pocket measure is the difference between the transaction price and the real or actual share value. Implicitly, this measure assumes that but-for the defendant's fraud, the plaintiff would have traded at the same time anyway, but at a better price. The so-called "expedient" out of pocket measure accepts the "pure" out of pocket measure in principle. Nevertheless, to avoid the practical difficulty of determining the real value of the stock at the time of the plaintiff's trade, the "expedient" out of pocket measure substitutes for this "true value" the market price after dissemination of the correct or previously nonpublic information. A variant of the "expedient" out of pocket measure would look to the either dollar or percentage price change at curative dissemination and use this change as a measure of the damages to the plaintiff. The price change at dissemination could be applied to the plaintiff's transaction price to estimate the true value at the time of the plaintiff's trade. To correct for the effects of extraneous factors, more complex variations exist. The rescissory measure attempts to undo the fraudulent transaction and to return the defrauded party to her position before the fraudulent inducement to enter into the trade. In other words, rescissory damages award a plaintiff the dollar amount at the time of judgment necessary to put her back in her original position at the time of her transaction. This measure implicitly assumes that the plaintiff would not have traded but-for the defendant's fraud. For the rescissory measure, courts usually require the plaintiff to prove a contractual relationship with the defendant. Most stock market insider trading plaintiffs are not in contractual privity with the defendant. The rescissory measure would give such plaintiffs an unjustified "free ride" to gain speculative profits from stock price changes until the date of judgment without risking any money. Conceivably, however, rescissory damages might be available to a plaintiff in contractual privity with an insider trading defendant, especially one liable under the classical relationship theory. Like the rescissory measure, the cover measure implicitly presumes that the plaintiff would not have traded but-for the defendant's fraud. This approach also implicitly assumes that the plaintiff is entitled to a rescissory measure of damages. Nevertheless, the cover measure imposes on the plaintiff the obligation to mitigate damages by reversing her trade within a "reasonable" time after curative disclosure. Although this article briefly discusses two additional damage measures, "disgorgement of windfall profits" and "benefit of the bargain," these two measures are not appropriate in stock market insider trading cases. To select a "fair" measure of damages, one must know what the plaintiff would have done absent the defendant's fraud. When the plaintiff has bought or sold a publicly traded security, she had an almost infinite number of alternatives. If the plaintiff would have traded at the same time anyway, but at a different price, the "pure" out of pocket or "expedient" out of pocket measures would be appropriate. If the plaintiff would not have traded and would have maintained that position until the time of judgment, the rescissory measure might be proper; but fairness might require the plaintiff to mitigate damages, in which case the cover measure would be appropriate. Knowing what the plaintiff would have done is difficult because any plaintiff testimony may be self-serving. With class actions, the members of the plaintiff class are not even available to give self-serving testimony and, in any event, are not uniform and would have pursued different courses of action absent the fraud. Therefore, no one measure of damages is "fair."

So what, who cares? 1) He shacked up with some trollop – he's a man with a huge ego being targeted by a promiscuous minx so what do you expect?2) His wife is hurt - If she was told then she made a conscious decision to support her political ambitions over his transgressions. That's a decision made with full disclosure so she's not some victim here.3) He lied about his affair – He is a politician! Is everyone so naive? Get over it!The only issue I have is that having slipped a disparaging and superfluous comment trying to link McCain with Edwards when the two situations were and are entirely different represents poor journalism - I expect more from The Economist.
I find this whole affair especially sordid, because no one comes out looking good. It's not just that Edwards got exposed as a hypocrite, a liar, a fool and are particularly represensible being for cheating on his sick wife. It's also that she then actively participated in the coverup, helping sell the lie to his supporters and the world by making the case that he was a model husband and their marriage a paragon of fidelity and happiness. Finally, what I find most appalling is, if Edwards did confess to his wife and children shortly after the affair (as he claims), then his children got to see the inspiring sight of Daddy lying repeatedly over the subsequent months and Mommy supporting that lie. What did they say to the kids to justify this? Perhaps "It's too important that Daddy become President for us to tell the truth..."
WHY is it when most become "successful" and obtain money, they automatically buy people and positions and attract the most lowly of our society and consider themselves POWERFUL and BRILLIANT when they are obviously less than nothing.
I was, sad to say, an Edwards supporter. I read his book and I bought his schtick --- and I had admiration for Elizabeth Edwards. As odd as I thought it was that they chose to continue his pursuit of the presidency after the recurrence of her cancer, I could get my head around thinking-- these people actually have a mission and a cause and want to make the USA a better place.....
The arrogance and hypocrisy and selfishness of John Edwards is actually, literally, stunning. This is a man whose wife chose to have 2 more children after their son was killed.....
I am no moralist who thinks all adultery is dreadful--- in this situation, however, it is appalling.
Elizabeth has 2 young children and a youngish adult child. She has a short life expectancy, even under ideal circumstances. Stage 4 inoperable cancer. Period.
I hope there is a special circle in Hell for selfish pigs like Edwards and moronic new age twits like "Ri-Elle". Karma is a bitch.
And anyone who thinks Edwards has been forthcoming, or that the baby isn't his, is a moron. Why ever else meet at the BH Hilton?
As ever, the cover-up is worse than the crime-- because so many others have been involved and the finances and lies are incomprehensible.
As a woman, I found a number of things more grotesque than anything else: the smarmy self-assurance that his wife and his Lord have forgiven him, that he has loved only one woman for the past 30-some years, that Elizabeth is beautiful and sexy and fabulous, and that, of course, his marriage will survive. Also that she is always with him....... Ewwww. One can only imagine!
I am not sure that all affairs should be treated the same. The actual infidelity is between the married couple, but how the scandal is handled once it becomes public knowledge is really the test. We simple cannot hold everybody to the saint status because we probably wouldn't agree on that. What we probably can do is comment when we feel something just plain feels terrible and wrong. In this case, this affair makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Edwards commented some years ago when Bill Clinton had Monica about all the damage he did with the affair and then the lies afterward. People in glass houses......This isn't about party either, it is about human beings that somehow become so arrogant they lose all perspective. I think jumping off a building would make better sense. Lastly, the one thing that Edwards said that really struck a chord with me was the celebrity status and the ultimate change a person feels when they are deemed "special". Our media has gone from fondling Edwards to hyping Barack to a level of adulation never seen. In doing so, the media loses all perspective and they have ceased doing their job as they did by not sleuthing after Edwards and forcing him to be honest. They took their orders for Edwards and backed off and now they are taking orders by the Obama machine and refusing to ask him tough questions he would prefer not to answer. Does it not seem nearly impossible that Barack Obama never sat in the pew of his church and heard a similar sermon given by his mentor Rev Wright about how whites are bad and the US is corrupt? The media just sort of took his word that he never heard any of this before. Really? They asked Edwards if he was having an affair and he denied it to and off they went with their tails between their legs and gave up on the story. Long-term, is this healthy for our media to become so biased they pick and choose the stories they will follow no matter how much evidence is out there????
My understanding is that John McCain was legally separated (albeit therefore also legally married) to his first wife when he met his current wife. Furthermore, my understanding is that he was not the first husband/partner of his first wife (since he adopted her kids) and that his first wife requested the separation. Not really comparable to John Edwards' situation. John Edwards follows more closely in the footsteps of other famously disgraced Democrats, like Pres. Bill Clinton, Gov. Eliot Spitzer, Gov. Jim McGreevy, ...
I agree, American Infantryman. The only silver lining in this deplorable turn of events is that Obama and the Democratic Party can wholly divest themselves from all future affiliation and coordination with Edwards without further explanation or hard feelings. Consequently, terry h, it is precisly "the stupid adultery of self-absorbed people" that precludes Baron from ever placing Edwards "in a pivotal position" (though perhaps Rielle did that privately) and will likely be the undoing of his influence as well given that candidates now need to vet their advisors, donors, staffers, families, and pastors as carefully as they do their running mates.
John Edwards is a scumbag, pure and simple. He is obviously still being untruthful about this affair. Actions speak louder than words. What he did to his wife was awful.
We need to let the affair" go. It was/ is foolish behavior between two self-absorbed people. Let it go. What we need to focus on, is the cover-up. What would the IRS say about these curious money transactions? Who is going to address the power Fred Baron yields over candidates and law makers? This pretty much says it all about Fred Baron….from Baron's wikipedia entry: "Baron has joked about the prominence he and other trial lawyers have in the Democratic Party. In a July 2002 speech, he noted a Wall Street Journal editorial that said that "the plaintiffs bar is all but running the Senate." Baron pointed to the editorial and said, "Now I really, strongly disagree with that. Particularly the 'all but.'" That is "in your face" arrogance, a man who thinks he is above the law, or at least controls it.Also, a BIG question. What has "Saint Baron" done with Rielle Hunter? We see a serious money trail for both Hunter and Young (the alleged father who has a public record of petty criminality.) We've heard from everyone, John Edwards, Elizabeth Edwards, Fred baron... but not Hunter and Young. Why?So here's the question: who in MSM is willing to take on the Fred Baron story? The American public has just been handed a HUGE piece of information, about the workings of Fred Baron. He is a man dictating much of our public policy, through his control of government officials. He laughs about trial lawyers controlling the Senate. He wanted Edwards president. And if not president, he wanted him in the vice-presidency. And if not VP, then in a pivotal position like Attorney General. The real story Is Fred Baron. Forget the stupid adultery of self-absorbed people. The real harm to the public is Fred Baron's covert agenda.

San Luis students to compete
4 will travel to consumer competition in Atlanta
Travel is appealing and nerve-wracking for the four seniors set to represent California in a national consumer competition.
"I'm still worried about getting left at the airport, losing my stuff," said Cisco Garcia, the 17-year-old team captain.
The opportunity for travel also was a big part of why he joined the quartet, Cisco said.
The San Luis High School team will go to Atlanta to compete with 41 other teams from across the country in the National Consumers League's 2013 National LifeSmarts Championship. The competition is April 20-23.
The seniors will be adding travel and maneuvering airports to the list of real-world knowledge they gain in practice and competition. LifeSmarts covers five areas of consumer awareness: health and safety, personal finance, technology, consumer rights and responsibilities, and environment. The idea is to develop the consumer and marketplace skills of teens.
Karen Ellington, a math teacher and the team's coach, said question topics range from tax forms to state industries.
"It's a lot of things that adults know that generally teenagers might not know yet," she said. "So it's giving them that kind of education."
During practice March 21, the quartet used "Jeopardy"-style buzzers to go head to head with real estate agents from Century 21 M&M and Associates. The questions included "You are a victim of identity theft, how can you prove the debt is not yours?" "Which federal agency calculates the Consumer Price Index?" and "In cell phone technology, the acronym '4G' stands for ..." to name a few.
Out of the seven years San Luis High has participated, it has produced five state champions. The team members take an online test, and the student with the highest score in California is invited to the national version.
Principal John Lupini said his school has embraced the program because it offers a unique experience for the continuation campus.
"It's one of the things that they can do, where they can compete against any school and it's a level playing field," Lupini said. "We don't have to be in a league to do it. We don't have to have a huge budget."
The San Luis team will face public, private, charter and home-school groups in Atlanta.
Lupini said having a high school graduate leave with some of that knowledge, along with the standard U.S. history, math and science, makes that individual a smarter consumer.
"Basically, you're turning education into a sport," he said. "And, everybody likes to win."
Ellington said the team is trying to raise $7,000 for travel expenses. The team has raised about $2,000, Ellington said, from individuals and businesses. Anyone interested in donating to the team should contact Ellington at (209) 826-8410 or by email at email@example.com.

Maui ATV rider hits deer, national report highlights HI deer collision unlikelihood
Report by State Farm Insurance puts odds of hitting a deer in HI at 1:6,800
The day after 45-year-old Kihei man collided with a deer while riding his ATV on Maui a national report indicates that Hawaii is the least likely place in America to be involved in an accident with a deer.
Around 10:21 a.m. Monday Maui paramedics responded to reports of an ATV accident at 5400 Makena Alanui Rd. in Wailea.
According to a friend who was with the injured rider, the Kihei man collided with a deer causing the ATV to roll over before landing on top of the man .
He suffered chest, left arm & left leg injuries but was wearing a helmet. He was taken to Maui Memorial Medical Center.
On Tuesday, a report from State Farm Insurance declares that Hawaii is the least likely place in America to be involved in an accident with a deer. According to the nationwide study, the odds of being involved in a deer-related collision in Hawaii are 1:6,800.
The study indicated that a larger deer population leads to a greater chance of collisions, especially during October and November which is most deer's mating season.
Drivers in West Virginia are the most prone to the collisions, with 1 in 40 motorists likely to strike a deer in the next year, State Farm said.
Now the state is taking measures to control the axis deer population on the Big Island. We'll have more on that effort on KITV 4 evening news.

The tail light wiring harness in the cargo area is not protected very well. As a result it may become damaged due to normal wear a tear. This damage can causing some or all of the rear lights to stop working.
Various electrical components under the front carpet/rubber mat may become damaged if excess water is used to clean the rear cargo area.
It is common for the fuel level sensor in the fuel tank read the fuel level incorrectly. The sensor must be replaced to correct the condition. Our technicians recommend having the complete fuel pump module replaced on high mileage vehicles.

Occupation | Co-Founder of Trinity Broadcasting Network |
Title | Vice President and Director of Network Programming/TBN, and Director/CEO of Holy Land Experience |

Spouse(s) | Paul Crouch (1957-2013, his death) |

Janice Wendell Bethany "Jan" Crouch (born March 14, 1938) is a religious broadcaster and, with her late husband Paul, co-founded the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN).
Early life and ministry
Jan is the daughter of Reverend and Mrs.Edgar W. Bethany, and grew up in Columbus, Georgia. Her father served as a pastor in the Assemblies of God denomination, and was the founding president of Southeastern University (Florida). While attending Evangel College in Springfield, Missouri, Jan met Paul F. Crouch. They married in 1957, and have two sons, Paul Jr. and Matthew, both of whom are high-ranking officials and program hosts on TBN.
In 1973, Paul and Jan Crouch along with Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker founded The Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). In 1974, TBN purchased its first TV station, KLXA-TV (channel 40, now KTBN-TV) in Southern California, and began distribution through cable systems in 1978. Shortly after the network's founding, Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker parted ways with Paul and Jan Crouch and moved to Charlotte, North Carolina to found the PTL Satellite Network. Under the leadership of the Crouch family, Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) has grown to become the United States' largest Christian television network, offering 24-hour commercial-free programming,[1][2] and TBN is currently third largest over-the-air Station Group in the United States, with CBS, Fox, and NBC holding the 4th, 5th and 6th place, according to TV News Check's annual listing of the Top 30 Station Groups.[3] TBN owns and operates 5 independent TV networks, each of which adheres to a faith-based message, but reaching separate demographics. TBN networks include TBN itself, JUCE TV, TBN Enlace, Smile of a Child, and The Church Channel.
TBN is viewed globally on 70 satellites and over 18,000 TV and cable affiliates. TBN is also seen on the Internet globally.[4] TBN is carried on over 287 television stations in the U.S. and on thousands of other cable television and satellite systems around the world in over 75 countries, where their programming is translated into over 11 languages. In the US, TBN is viewed on US satellite and cable subs, and affiliated with major cable and satellite companies such as Comcast, Cox, Time Warner, Verizon FIOS, DirecTV, AT&T, Dish Network and Charter. The total TBN audience across the US via broadcast, cable and satellite is 100,564,000.[5]
Rise to fame
For the past 41 years, Crouch has served as TBN's vice president and director of network programming, as well as the director of programming for TBN's affiliated networks, such as the Smile of a Child children's channel,[6] the JUCE TV youth network,[7]The Church Channel,[8] the TBN Enlace USA Spanish language network,[9][10] and others. She is also the President of The Holy Land Experience theme park in Orlando, FL, and manages the day-to-day operations of the park.[11][12]
Smile of a Child Foundation
Crouch is also the founder and president of the Smile of a Child Foundation, a humanitarian relief organization providing medical supplies, food, clothes, and toys to underprivileged children around the world. Among its recent projects has been a partnership with Friend Ships, a compassion-focused ministry located in Lake Charles, Louisiana, that speeds emergency relief aid and medical expertise all over the world in its fleet of dedicated cargo/ministry ships.[13] Friend Ships has been partnering with TBN and Smile of a Child since 1992, shipping tons of relief goods to Haiti. Smile of a Child foundation completed the construction of a medical clinic in Costa Rica. Ongoing projects include construction of the Smile of a Child children's hospital in Haiti,[14] as well as mobile medical clinics that will be sent to needy countries around the world.[6]
In May, 2009, the United Nations officially recommended the Smile of a Child Foundation, a United States-based organization, seeking to help world leaders alleviate poverty and improve the lives of children.to receive special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council for the Democracy Coalition Project.[15]
Awards and honors
- 1990: Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from Oral Roberts University
- Golden Angel Award - Excellence in Media
- Two-time Parents Television Council Entertainment Seal of Approval recipient (for TBN and Smile of a Child).[16]
Charity Navigator, a national evaluator of charities, gives TBN an overall rating of 2 out of 4 stars. It reports that for the FYE 12/2008, Paul F. Crouch Sr., President of TBN earned $419,500, Janice Crouch, Vice-President, earned $361,000, and Paul F. Crouch Jr., Vice-President, earned $214,137.[17] Crouch has produced products for TBN such as videos that account for a portion of her income.
In March 2012 Jan Crouch was accused, by her granddaughter, a former employee and chief finance director of the network (a registered charity) of misappropriating network funds to spend on a lavish lifestyle. Items of expenditure included expensive homes, private jets, and a $100,000 air conditioned mobile home solely for Jan Crouch's dogs.[18]The New York Times wrote that Jan, for nearly two years, rented adjoining rooms for herself and her two Maltese dogs, at the deluxe Loews Portofino Bay Hotel while she was building the Holy Land Experience theme park in Orlando, Florida.[19]
Jan is justly famous, or infamous, for the enormous wig she is often seen wearing in public. [20]
