CHARLESTON — Several financial contributions made by the campaigns of public officials to a Mingo County political action committee may have done so illegally.
The campaigns for Agriculture Commissioner Walt Helmick, state Sen. Art Kirkendoll, Treasurer John Perdue and state Senate candidate Mark Wills gave up to $1,000 each to the Team Mingo 2012 political action committee.
That money was given to the PAC for a variety of reasons, according to campaign filings with the secretary of state's office.
Team Mingo 2012 is an unaffiliated PAC, according to the secretary of state's website.
West Virginia code does not allow for active candidate campaigns to make donations to unaffiliated PACs.
"No, that's not legal," said Jake Glance, spokesman for Secretary of State Natalie Tennant's office.
West Virginia election law outlines 16 allowable reasons for campaign expenses.
Those purposes include rent, advertising and polling.
The only allowable expenditure that references PACs reads, "for the purchase of memorials, flowers or citations by political party executive committees or political action committees representing a political party."
"That means if it's not on the list, you can't do it," Glance said.
Team Mingo represents a Democratic faction in Mingo County, where Democrats typically duke it out without any challenge from Republicans, Prosecutor C. Michael Sparks said.
Without prompting, Sparks distributed a letter Saturday to various news organizations saying he was not a member of the Team Mingo 2012 PAC. He was a member of the Team Mingo 2012 ticket - most of whom won their primary or general elections, he said - but that's different from the PAC.
Sparks said the PAC probably contributed money to rallies in which he participated. But he did not contribute any money to the PAC, and the PAC didn't give his campaign any money directly.
"There's been a lot of negative publicity, perhaps some fair, perhaps some unfair, but I didn't want to be connected," Sparks said.
The elected officials whose campaigns made the questionable contributions are experienced, Sparks said. He thought the move was a mistake, but could be evidence of a statewide issue.
As far as the Team Mingo 2012 PAC is concerned, Sparks wanted to point out there is a difference between the PAC and the ticket. The ticket was a "political marketing concept," Sparks said.
Greg "Hootie" Smith is a Mingo County commissioner and treasurer for the Team Mingo 2012 PAC. In May 2012 he told the Daily Mail the PAC's goal was to pay advertising expenses.
Smith said Friday afternoon he was on vacation in Myrtle Beach and did not have any of the financial reports readily available. He said he remembered the PAC received contributions from Wills, Kirkendoll and Helmick. He couldn't immediately remember any contribution from Perdue, but said, "if it's on the report, that's correct."
Smith said he did not know contributions by a candidate's campaign to an unaffiliated PAC were not permitted. He later said he wasn't sure of the specifics of a rule, but thought there was something in code about contributions from campaigns that were not active.
"As treasurer for Team Mingo, I will do whatever the Secretary of State tells me needs to be done," Smith said.
Helmick's campaign gave the PAC $1,000 on April 20, 2012, according to his filings with the secretary of state's office. The report lists "advertising" as the purpose of the expense.
In an email, Glance said advertising is a legal expenditure. When asked if it was legal even if the money for advertising goes to an unaffiliated PAC, Glance responded, "We don't have all the facts right now from those involved and we are not prepared to comment any further."
Helmick, a Democrat, defeated Republican Kent Leonhardt in the November 2012 election to become Agricultural Commissioner. Attempts to contact Helmick's campaign treasurer David Hill were unsuccessful.
Wills, a Democrat, lost his bid for state Senate to Republican Bill Cole. On April 23, Wills' campaign gave $700 to Team Mingo. The campaign reports lists "campaign" as the purpose of the expenditure.
The PAC campaign statement reports a $700 contribution on the same day from Pat Wilson, Wills' campaign treasurer. It's the only listed contribution for $700 on that day. Wilson did not return a phone message.
Kirkendoll is a Democrat state senator from Logan County. On Nov. 2, 2012 his campaign gave $1,000 to Team Mingo. The purpose was "Mingo gen-elec" according to the Secretary of State's website.
It should read "Mingo gen-elec committee," said campaign treasurer Daniel Williamson. Williamson said he could not reach Kirkendoll, and did not provide further information about the nature of the expense.
Perdue is also a Democrat and has served as treasurer since 1996. He defeated Republican challenger Mike Hall in the fall.
Team Mingo campaign financial statements show a $1,000 contribution from Perdue on Nov. 2, 2012. It lists Perdue's address as "PO Box 5540, Charleston, WV." Perdue's campaign did not officially list that address for it's 2012 election filings. The address was previously used for "John Perdue for Governor," according to the Secretary of State's website.
Perdue's 2012 filings show a $1,000 donation made on Nov. 2, 2012 to "Mingo County DEC" for "sponsorship."
The Mingo County Democratic Executive Committee is an executive committee PAC. It did not receive any financial contributions during 2012, according to filings.
Perdue's filing lists a Keyser address for the "Mingo County DEC." The listed address is the one used by the Mineral County Democratic Executive Committee. It did not receive any donations from Perdue during 2012, according to the filings.
Perdue campaign treasurer Patrick Maroney did not return a phone message.
The secretary of state's office was not aware of any potential violations of this nature concerning the Team Mingo PAC.
"We're going to be making some phone calls," Glance said.
There is no specific penalty listed for a candidate's campaign giving money to an unaffiliated PAC.
The penalty for most specific violations of elections law are misdemeanors, with fines and jail time possible, according to the "offenses and penalties" section of state elections law.
"Normally, what happens is, if that happens, they have to basically give the money back and file an amended campaign finance report," Glance said.
Allegations of illegal activity surrounding elections in Mingo County are not new.
In a May 2012 article in the Daily Mail, members of both Democratic factions accused the other of illegal activity. Glance told the Daily Mail at the time the secretary of state's office was in Mingo County every day.
Sparks said it was the "cleanest election that Mingo County has seen in a while."
Rumors and speculation persist, Smith and Sparks said. Smith said there's nothing to those whispers, adding he's not aware of any wrongdoing by any elected official in Mingo County.
"What I would say as prosecuting attorney: I can't confirm or deny that there's a federal investigation," Sparks said. "Those questions should be made toward the U.S. Attorney's Office."
"I'm sure there are ways you could confirm things," he added later in the conversation.

On Thursday the Main Street Portsmouth Board of Directors officially accepted the resignation of Executive Director Jennifer Kephas and also hired an interim executive director.
Kephas, who was hired in September of 2011, submitted her letter of resignation to MSP Board President Scott Moore Feb. 5.
In an e-mail to board members, the President of the Moore thanked Kephas for her time with the organization.
"Jennifer has been a tremendous asset to MSP over the past year as Executive Director, and perhaps more importantly Jennifer has been effective in communicating MSP's mission throughout the community," Moore's e-mail read. "We will miss her greatly and wish her the best."
During a 12-week search for the next executive director, former MSP Intern Sarah Surina, will assume the executive director duties under an interim status beginning March 4.
"I am very excited for the opportunity and it is a privilege to take on this role," Surina told the Daily Times Friday. "I'm very passionate about giving back and that is what drew me to invest in (MSP)."
Surina graduated from Shawnee State in 2012 with a degree in Business Administration. As an intern with MSP, she was the director of the Farmer's Market and has an asset no previous executive director at MSP possessed.
"Why it was a good choice in the interim is that it is the first time, probably, in the history of the organization that we have been able to hire someone who actually has some familiarity and knowledge of Main Street and what its mission is," Moore said. "Most of our directors have had to start cold turkey and had no experience, but she has been able to walk through and experience a lot of the aspects of the organization itself. Our hope was to keep things, without missing a beat, going for 2013. We feel pretty good about that."
Surina said her supervision of the Farmer's Market gave her experience and familiarity with MSP.
According to Moore, Surina kept in touch with Kephas after the conclusion of her internship and when Kephas resigned, she was quick to recommend Surina as a replacement.
"She had expressed an interest in the position and had stayed in contact with Jennifer after she left her internship. Jennifer quickly recommended her as an interim," Moore said. "She (Surina) will serve all functions of the executive director while the selection committee starts the process of advertising and looking for a permanent replacement."
According to Surina, Kephas helped her grow into candidate for the director's title.
"She had very high confidence in me and I learned to just go out and be yourself," Surina said. "Now I am very familiar with the job and readily available in the community."
Moore said Surina will be eligible to apply to remove the interim status from her title, but for the next 12 weeks he said the position is in good hands.
"We are excited to have her come on board," Moore said.
Main Street Portsmouth is nonprofit organization that utilizes the approach developed by the National Main Street program. The organization's mission is to preserve the historic integrity of downtown Portsmouth and the historic Boneyfiddle district.

Willow Smith Will Be Able To Whip Her Hair Again Soon
It looks as though self-expressionist Willow Smith will be able to whip that hair again very soon. She was spotted heading out of a New York City hotel last night, sporting her new grown out hair in a spiked style, all while rocking a Beatles tee and Chloe Studded Buckle Boots.
Although, she was working hard on her music for the past few years, it seems as though a new album is not on the priority list anymore. This Fall, she will start preparing to take on the role of 'Annie' in the remake of the 1982 classic musical which will start production in the Spring of 2013. Jay-z is said to have already started working on the music for the film, in which he is also a producing partner along with Will and Jada.
Those Smith kids stay busy..

So i picked up TWTTKH (used) this weekend, and almost finished it. I am blown away by the story, and the quality of writing is excellent as well. Im sure I am not alone here, but anytime I take a trip to Mid World, whether it be via the Dark Tower series (I-VII), Eyes of the Dragon, Little Sisters of Eluria, TWTTKH.. I am always blown away. There is something special and highly intriguing about Mid World, and its history, denizens, culture, magical elements, language, geography, creatures, etc. And ive found that even when the story doesnt directly involve Roland (ie Eyes of the Dragon, the tale of the Covenant Man), Mid World still never loses its magic.
So I must ask... have we seen the last novel set in Mid World? I hope not!

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Butter Keeper …
"I own two butter keepers and love how well they keep your butter. My husband dislikes hard butter when he wants to butter his toast or put butter on his vegetables. I am purchasing one for my daughter-in-law." - Christine Nepus, Victory Mills, NY
"My family loves this butter keeper. No more popping the butter dish in the microwave or leaving it out overnight (again and again) to soften the butter to spreading consistency. I admit I was skeptical at first that this device would keep the butter tasting fresh as well as keeping it soft enough to spread. Now I don't know how we got along without it all these years. This is the most ingenious kitchen gadget ever!!" - Cheryl Conner, San Diego, CA

You have limited the Holy One of Israel.
One silly petal of the T.U.L.I. P. flower dogma is "L". Just think of it, limited at one ment! Let's search for "limited" in Canon! Search= Limited=One entry found.QuoteYou have limited the Holy One of Israel.
Greetings Finelinen,Its been awhile since I spoke to you.Having just responded to a question about how one can reconcile the belief in the Salvation of all, as opposed to the response that men could have in knowing that, and just going on a life long sin rampage , and binge on sin with no responsibility to even think they need to stop. At its core, its really an effort to limit Gods forgiveness, and just not let men get away with it, a penalty must be paid, as if Christ death had circumstances involved in its application.I think part of the birth of the attraction to limited Atonement, is the fearful looking to judgement which haunts mens minds and belief. So scared that we must build doctrines that give us comfort, and give others hell. Sin, like hidden landmines, just explodes into our interpretations of Gods ability and true nature. It goes off and distorts our view of God, explodes into our Church's, gets into our thinking, and then implodes into our views of Gods range of ability. Is Gods arm now too short to reach out to humanity? We walk in sin and it destroys our feet. It Mame's us and blinds us, and from this point of view, we calculate that God cannot save but certain humans in certain conditions. Only certain needs will be covered.There is no Limit to Gods Salvation, because there is no limit to our need for him. Where sin exist, grace has abounded diametrically to cover it.Peace.
My friend, it is good to see you again. There is indeed no limit to our Father's salvation. The Apostle St. Paul declares in no uncertain terms in one of his uses of Koine compounds that the results of the despair of one man spread to all humanity. "As by one man's disobedience" the mass of mankind were made sinners. Yep, death reigned even over them that had not sinned after the similtude of Adam's transgression....the mass has been made sinners! What an awful state of affairs: one man sins, the whole mass of mankind enters into the consummation of that rebellion. But "far greater" is the free gift in the Man from the Glory. St. Paul struggles to express the magnitude of "all the more", "much more then" in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Last Adam. The first Adam's results, death pervading into every aspect of this life, creeping into all of our d.n.a. strands. And this is where the struggle to express the magnitude of unlimited grace in all its poikilos colors erupts. Adam 1's disobedience spreading into all avenues: the Last Adam's breaking beyond beyond, breaking beyond the banks into the unspeakable unknown. Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all mankind to condemnation EVEN SO by the righteousness of One the free gift came upon all mankind unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience the mass of mankind were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall the mass of mankind be made righteous. Limited atonement indeed! The results of one man's disobedience, swallowed up in the majesty of one man's obedience breaking beyond the banks in flood stages of glory.

Samuel Rodriques '13
Samuel Rodriques '13 is Named Churchill Scholar
During a junior year spent at Cambridge University in England, Samuel Rodriques '13 never found time for the kinds of travel experiences that are de rigueur for most American students studying abroad. Instead, Rodriques opted to pursue a one-year master's course at Fitzwilliam College in applied mathematics and theoretical physics. And though Rodriques was not eligible to receive a degree from the college, he opted to go the whole route and write a master's thesis as well.
"It was a lot of work and I definitely did not get to travel that much, but I would not trade it for anything," says Rodriques. "I really felt like I came into my own in that year."
That kind of hard work and focus has paid off for Rodriques, who was named a Churchill Scholar in January. The highly competitive scholarships are awarded each year to just over a dozen U.S. students from 100 of the country's top colleges and universities by the Winston Churchill Foundation, which seeks individuals with the capacity to pursue original, creative work at an advanced level in the sciences, engineering and mathematics.
The scholarships pays for all of the fees associated with attending a one-year program of graduate study at Cambridge University and includes living and travel allowances as well. Rodriques's scholarship will amount to almost $50,000.
"Sam is the third Haverfordian to win since the College was invited to participate in the scholarship program in 2007, and he is one of only two liberal arts college winners this year," says Phil Bean, associate dean of the College and dean of academic affairs. "The Churchill is an exceptionally selective scholarship, and by all accounts it was much more competitive this year than it usually is, so Sam's selection for this honor is all the more impressive."
When Rodriques heads to Cambridge University in the fall, he will follow in the paths of Byron Drury '08 and Martin Blood-Forsythe '10, Haverford's previous Churchill winners (who have continued their studies in phyisics at MIT and Harvard respectively). He plans to pursue an M. Phil. in computational biology, a field he describes as "new, but growing pretty rapidly."
"One of the major differences between science today and science 20 or 30 years ago is computation," says Rodriques. "Significant amounts of computational power are readily available now basically wherever you go."
Rodriques, who previously won a Goldwater Scholarship and a Beckman Scholarship, is particularly interested in how computational power can be used to advance knowledge in neuroscience.
"We can study brain regions, like the frontal cortex and the visual cortex," he says. "We can study individual neurons." But what has only recently begun to be explored is the intermediate scale—the clusters of neuron that make up brain regions, such as the visual cortex. "To really understand how the brain works you have to understand how these clusters work and how they interact," Rodriques says. "And to do that, you need to do computations and simulations."
It is highly theoretical work, and that is what excites him so much. "What I am interested in doing," says Rodriques, "is establishing a connection between psychological phenomena and the behavior of neurons."
Rodriques says he has found strong mentors at Haverford for his research interests, and cites in particular three physics professors, Walter Smith, Stephon Alexander and Peter Love. "They have been really instrumental in helping me through my entire time at Haverford," he says.
"I met Sam when he was doing research in mathematical music theory with Professor Stephon Alexander after his freshman year," says Love, who has worked with Rodriques for the last two years. Through Haverford's participation in the National Science Foundation Centers for Chemical Innovation, Love and Rodriques spent two summers at Harvard University doing research on quantum information. As a result, they were coauthors on a paper published in the Journal of Chemical Physics, and the two are currently working on a second paper.
"The combination of his first rate intellectual prowess, with his organization, determination and maturity, makes Sam a formidable force as a research student," observes Love. "It's one of the great pleasures of working at Haverford to work with students like Sam as they develop and fulfill their potential."
As focused on science as he is, Rodriques, a native of Cambridge, Mass., has also found time for a few extra-curriculars during his undergraduate years. In 2010, he was the director of an ambitious and well-received Tri-College theater production of the Stephen Sondheim musical Assassins. At Cambridge last year he served as the technical director for an award-winning production of Jerry Springer: The Opera. And in his spare time, Rodriques is an avid player of the Chinese game Go, which he describes as far more rich in strategy than chess. The game, played on a 19-inch grid, originated more than 2,000 years ago and is popular across Asia.
Receiving the Churchill Scholarship is a wonderful recognition, but Rodriques says that the rigorous application process was also valuable in its own right. In particular, the essay (some have likened it to an "intellectual autobiography") that he was required to write made him take a hard look at himself and his ambitions.
"It was a personal statement: This is the kind of science I want to do, and this is the reason I want to do it," he says. "In writing that, you really figure out what you are doing. I have a much better concept of what I want to do in graduate school now than I had going into the process."

Tuesday, December 31, 2013
The Northwood Academy girls basketball team ran into some tough opponents before Christmas to get a bit of a wakeup call.
Their response was on display in the Carolina Invitational from Dec. 27-29.
The Lady Chargers rebounded from a 1-2 showing in the Crescom Bank Holiday Invitational to knock off Butler High, Ky. 71-59 to win their division in the third annual event. They pulled away in the third quarter to lead by over 20 points before completing a run at the Hanahan site with a perfect 3-0 mark.
We ran into some great defenses (in Myrtle Beach) and we really needed that, Northwood coach Presley Singleton said.
The Lady Chargers won the Atlantic Division in the 64-team event. Each division had eight teams and each site hosted day and night sessions for a total of 16 teams.
Dacula, Ga. (Coastal), Bullitt East, Ky. (Island Div.), Mt. Tabor, N.C. (Palmetto), Porter-Gaud (Harbor), Heathwood Hall (Patriot), East Hall, Ga. (River) and Westwood (Battery) all won their divisions too.
In Northwoods final, Wake Forest signee Amber Campbell poured in a season-high 42 points, including 20 in a third-quarter run that pushed Northwoods lead to 55-34. She was named MVP of the division after also scoring 37 and 39 in wins over Mauldin and Greenville.
The senior guard, a standout for the Lady Chargers since middle school, averages 30.8 points and 6.2 rebounds per game.
Junior forward Ericka Martin (9.4 ppg), who holds an offer from College of Charleston, and sophomore point guard Katelyn Powell (8.6 ppg) are second and third on the team in scoring.
Martin leads in rebounding with 7.2 a game, followed by Campbell (6.2 rpg), sophomore Dee Heath (5.3 rpg) and senior Antoinette Davis (5.2 rpg).
Powell is out front in assists per game (4.9) and steals per game (4.2). Campbell is second in both categories.
Offensively, this is probably the best outside shooting time Singleton has had in her time at Northwood. Including Campbell and Powell, Singleton said she has five players that are legitimately capable of stepping beyond the arc and making 3-pointers. Campbell is at 46 percent from 3-point range for the year, followed by Powell at 35 percent and senior Eden Crowell at 33 percent.
Northwood figures to round into complete form offensively as post players Martin and Davis get more games together on the floor. In the first 11 games, that happened only twice but they were both available for the final two games of the CIT.
Singletons hope is for the defense to become stingier as a group in the second half of the season. Developing depth is another key, she said.
The Lady Chargers begin region play Jan. 7 against First Baptist at home before traveling to three-time defending champion Pinewood Prep on Jan. 10. They host Porter-Gaud on Jan. 14 and Hilton Head Prep on Jan. 17.
Perhaps the most telling date on the remaining slate is one at Heathwood Hall on Feb. 1. The Lady Highlanders, who put Northwood out of the playoffs last season, are led by AJa Wilson. Wilson is arguably the No. 1 prospect in the 2014 graduating class. She is a 6-5 wing being recruited by all of the top college programs.
I feel like if were playing well, (state) should be between us and Heathwood, Singleton said.

Fifteen Years of Terra
Fifteen years ago on December 18th, Terra was launched and started to see Earth for the first time. As the Flagship Earth Observing Satellite, Terra was the first satellite to look at Earth system science, collecting multiple types of data dedicated to various areas of Earth science. It joined other satellites designed to monitor specific areas of Earth science and has since been joined by others that all work in concert to collect data that leads to a better understanding of how our planet functions as a whole.
Since Terra's launch, scientists are able to document relationships between Earth's systems and examine their connections. Through every pass that Terra makes and every piece of data it and the other Earth Observing Satellites collect, the picture of our earth gets richer, revealing trends and connections for the entire earth, impacting all of Earth's inhabitants.
The images above are the first images captured by each of Terra's five instruments in 2000, shortly after Terra's launch.
- ASTER: Afar Triangle in the Eritrea/Red Sea
- MOPITT: Channel 1 Difference Radiances of Global Swath
- MISR: James Bay, Ontario, Canada
- CERES: Global Solar Flux and Emitted Terrestrial Flux
- MODIS: Mississippi River Delta
These images were the first attempts to tell the story of Earth's systems. With every pass of Terra the story becomes richer with data.
Terra's original design life was 6 years, after 15 years in orbit, Terra has been collecting valuable data about our planet for two and a half times its planned lifetime. This is due in no small part to the dedicated scientists and engineers who built, launched, and continue to maintain this valuable spacecraft that has surpassed its original mission objectives and continues to make outstanding contributions to Earth science.
Congratulations Terra and all of those who continue to support this exceptional mission. Happy fifteenth anniversary!
To learn more about some of Terra and the other EOS mission's contributions, read the new NASA feature story, Earth From Space: 15 Amazing Things in 15 Years
Hello, World!
Terra: the EOS Flagship
Terra explores the connections between Earth's atmosphere, land, snow and ice, ocean, and energy balance to understand Earth's climate and climate change and to map the impact of human activity and natural disasters on communities and ecosystems.
Terra Instruments
Terra collects data about the Earth's bio-geochemical and energy systems using five sensors that observe the atmosphere, land surface, oceans, snow and ice, and energy budget. Each sensor has unique features that enable scientists to meet a wide range of science objectives. The five Terra onboard sensors are:
- ASTER, or Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer
- CERES, or Clouds and Earth's Radiant Energy System
- MISR, or Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer
- MODIS, or Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer
- MOPITT, or Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere
Because Terra's five sensors share a platform, they collect complementary observations of Earth's surface and atmosphere. These varying perspectives of the same event can yield unique insights into the processes that connect Earth's systems.

Does exercise actually lower your BP? I decided togive my house a good scrubbing today before my bp goes any higher and they do put me on bedrest and I figured I would have to rest every 20 minutes or so to give my bp a rest, but so far my bp has remained about the same 124/74. It was much higher this weekend ranging from 130-140/80-90 and when I went in because of it yesterday they didnt seem concerned at all about that or the headache that wouldnt go away and instead prescribed me fioricet.. which didnt touch it.
I was having some right shoulder blade pain last night that really felt a lot like trapped gas or really bad heartburn in my shoulder. Kind of starting mid sholder blade in my back and radiating up my neck and down to about the bottom of my rib cage. My BP wasnt terrible so I decided to see how it felt today. I didnt feel it at all when I woke up but an hour later it was there again. It seems to come and go some today so im assuming its probably not the "right shoulder pain" im reading about?

In the land of mass gravesJune 21,2014Just over two decades ago, Rwanda was swept up in a murderous wave of ethnic violence that was as bad or worse as anything happening today in Iraq and Syria. The conflict was between a historically dominant ethnic minority and a historically oppressed majority, as in Iraq. Yet, today, Rwanda is a relatively successful country.
Economic growth has been hovering at about 8 percent a year for the past few years. Since 1994, per capita income has almost tripled. Mortality for children younger than 5 is down by two-thirds. Malaria-related deaths are down 85 percent. Most amazingly, people who 20 years ago were literally murdering each others family members are now living together in the same villages.
So the question of the day is: Does Rwandas rebound offer any lessons about how other nations might recover from this sort of murderous sectarian violence, even nations racked by the different sort of Sunni-Shiite violence were seeing in the Middle East?
Well, one possible lesson from Rwanda is that sectarian bloodletting is not a mass hysteria. Its not an organic mania that sweeps over society like a plague. Instead, murderous sectarian violence is a top-down phenomenon produced within a specific political context.
People dont usually go off decapitating each other or committing mass murder just because they hate people in another group. These things happen because soul-dead political leaders are in a struggle for power and use ethnic violence as a tool in that struggle.
If you can sideline those leaders or get the politics functioning, you can reduce the violence dramatically. These situations are gruesome, but they are not hopeless.
A few important things happened in Rwanda:
First, the government established a monopoly of force. In Rwanda, this happened because Paul Kagame won a decisive military victory over his Hutu rivals. He set up a strongman regime that was somewhat enlightened at first but which has grown increasingly repressive over time. He abuses human rights and rules by fear. Those of us who champion democracy might hope that freedom, pluralism and democracy can replace chaos. But the best hope may be along South Korean lines, an authoritarian government that softens over time.
Second, the regime, while autocratic, earned some legitimacy. Kagame brought some Hutus into the government, although experts seem to disagree on how much power Hutus actually possess. He also publicly embraced the Singaporean style of autocracy, which has produced tangible economic progress.
This governing style can be extremely paternalistic. It is no longer officially permitted to identify people by their tribal markers (everybody knows anyway). Plastic bags are illegal. The civil service is closely monitored for corruption. In sum, Rwanda is a lousy place to be a journalist because of limits on expression, but the quality of life for the average citizen is improving rapidly.
Third, power has been decentralized. If Iraq survives, it will probably be as a loose federation, with the national government controlling the foreign policy and the army, but the ethnic regions dominating the parts of government that touch people day to day. Rwanda hasnt gone that far, but it has made some moves in a federalist direction. Local leaders often follow a tradition of imihigo in which they publicly vow to meet certain concrete performance goals within, say, three years: building a certain number of schools or staffing a certain number of health centers. If they dont meet the goals, they are humiliated and presumably replaced. The process emphasizes local accountability.
Fourth, new constituencies were enfranchised. After the genocide, Rwandas population was up to 70 percent female. The men were either dead or in exile. Women have been given much more prominent roles in the judiciary and the parliament. Automatically this creates a constituency for the new political order.
Fifth, the atrocities were acknowledged. No post-trauma society has done this perfectly. Rwanda prosecuted the worst killers slowly (almost every pre-civil-war judge was dead). The local trial process was widely criticized. The judicial process has lately been used to target political opponents. But it does seem necessary, if a nation is to move on, to set up a legal process to name what just happened and to mete out justice to the monstrous.
The Iraqi state is much weaker than the Rwandan one, but, even so, this quick survey underlines the wisdom of the approach the Obama administration is gesturing toward in Iraq: Use limited military force to weaken those who are trying to bring in violence from outside; focus most on the political; round up a regional coalition that will pressure Iraqi elites in this post-election moment to form an inclusive new government.
Iraq is looking into an abyss, but the good news is that if you get the political elites behaving decently, you can avoid the worst. Grimly, theres cause for hope.

Jessamyn Duke reveals Rousey cut 17 lbs/24 hours to make point
On a more serious front, with the males down to just three fighters, Anthony Gutierrez was scheduled to fight David Grant, with the winner fighting Chris Holdsworth in the men's finals. That is years of training perparing for one of the greatest opportunities in MMA, and Gutierrez, who had had dieting issues all week, gave up in his effort to make weight.
As dramatic as that was, a potentially even more compelling scenario was left on the cutting room floor. As revealed by Duke, coach Ronda Rousey determined to teach her team that making weight is ultimately a mental exercise, so she cut 17 pounds in 24 hours, with a coaches challenge in the middle of it.
The editing of the show made it appear as if Rousey was talked out of the cut by UFC president Dana White. but Duke tells you really happened.
Anthony tried to say that it just wasn't possible for him to cut the weight because he had screwed up on his diet. But here's the thing, he could have made it. He left the gym the night before at 144, which is well within a range to make the weight. There is a science to cutting weight and lots of things that we as fighters can do to make it easier on ourselves, but the BIGGEST factor in the weight cut is your mental fortitude...and this is what Ronda wanted to prove.
She jumped on the scale after Anthony missed weight and was 152 pounds. Without any sort of prep (diet, water loading, sodium loading/cutting, etc.) jumped in the sauna and was in there for FIVE hours before it was time to go to the coaches challenge. Yes, Ronda Rousey cut weight in the sauna for five hours, went to a rock climbing challenge, won, and then went BACK to the sauna that night and cut some more.
The next day when it was time for Jessica and Raquel to fight, she was at the gym before anyone else arrived and was back in the sauna cutting weight. When the rest of us arrived she was sitting at 136 pounds in the locker room. I watched her warm up Rakoczy for her fight while on weight and then step on the scale in front of Dana and be 135 pounds. She did this to prove a point.
Cutting weight is mental. You can't use screwing up your diet or your water loading as an excuse. If you miss weight, it's because you mentally broke. The fact that she pulled this off really showed that Ronda is on another level mentally. It was inspiring and motivating to see this happen in front of me. It made me realize that I never have to be afraid of missing weight... you just have to be mentally strong and never give up.
Unfortunately, Anthony gave up.

She is the author of Physical Beauty; Mother and Babe; and Barbara Thayer, a novel. MILLER, ARTHUR SCOTT, soldier, lawyer, builder, was born Nov. 13, 1848, in Alto, Mich. In 1864 he enlisted in the United States navy, and served to the end of the civil war. For a number of years he was court stenographer; then practiced law; and subsequently became an extensive builder of houses and blocks in Denver, Colo., where he now resides. MILLER, CHARLES B., physician, surgeon, was born in 1844 in Dillsboro, Ind. In 1862-65 he was assistant surgeon in the United States army. For fifteen years he was president and treasurer of the school board of Lawrenceburg, Ind.

His grandfather was a soldier in the war of 1812; and his great-grandfather fought in the revolutionary war. MILLER, CHARLES EXUM, son of Hon. Lorenzo Dow Miller, the well known lawyer of Miami, Texas, and Louella Exum Miller, was born Aug. 20, 1895, in Mobeetie, Wheeler county, Texas. His father and mother worshiped him with a love of no ordinary character, and saw in the noble face of their precious boy a benefactor to God's posterity. They looked forward to a long life of pleasure and good works, but alas, the tomb on the hillside marks the resting place of that heavenly gift—our darling Charley. When he was only a few days old the nurse by mistake gave him laudanum, and death seemed certain to our angel child; but by good and loving nursing he survived, and while he lingered between life and death his father and mother, with wringing hands and aching hearts, were praying God to spare their angel boy. They promised God to lead him in the path of duty and teach him to pray; and prayed that he might be great on earth in leading souls to Christ. He often wanted to hear the Bible read and be told of the wonders of heaven. His father now keeps close to his heart his little testament with his precious name in it. He was baptized in the Methodist Church South when a babe, and God is able to make this short life a great ministry service; and this little sketch of his childish life is written in his name with the hope that God will bless these little words written here, and lead many to stop and think on his ways and turn to God. Charley used to say, How far is it to heaven, papa? as contemplating to go, and his greatest aim was doing good. He was pious, truthful and sympathetic. He told his papa to turn all prisoners out if they promised to be good (his father being state's attorney). His father often thought and told Charley that his influence for prisoners was great, and would not go unheeded if he requested it. He was a lover of his Sunday School, and had his badge No. 6—the year of his age. He would kneel down for prayer like a little man, and often insisted that the preacher go home with us for dinner, and would say that papa asked him to come. His father was a kind, indulgent man, and worshiped his children—especially Charley. He granted Charley all he asked of him. On Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, 1901, we were together in the town of Miami. Charley was busy buying childish things for others. Almost the last gift he made was his pocket book and four nickels and a copper pistol. His father used to say that all the giving comes from Charley; and it was a delight to teach the child that "it is more blessed to give than to receive." He owned a brand L. D. on his horses and cattle. His famous horses Bulley and Jake and Dock; his saddle rig was of the best, and the spurs that speak volumes to us now. His favorite dog Jack was his great friend and playmate. His brother, James Franklin Miller, was born Feb. 13, 1898, and died Aug. 15, 1899; and his sister, Winnie Davis Miller, was. born Sept. 17, 1900. They were all playmates, and often played campingout with little lanterns his papa bought him; and then played hide and seek around their fond mother's knee. Little Minnie missed him after he went away, and looked for him when his name was called in the places they used to play. While our darling Charley was near death's door, he pulled his mother near to his face and whispered: "Mama, won't I live?" She said: "Yes, my darling, you will live always." In a few moments he quietly passed away to live always in heaven. It seemed all the people turned out to render him aid and do him honor in his last hours on this earth. Judges and lawyers came to condole with his stricken parents. Revs. Whatley and Cartwright of the Methodist church conducted his funeral service. The school children and teachers and a large gathering of sympathizing friends filed through the old church where he used to go to his Sunday School. I looked on that angelic face of my precious dead. His little ministry on earth has made me to again renew my hopes and efforts to meet him in heaven; and when I think of his little prayer he used to say at night, I pray God to bless its efforts to do good here: "Now I lay me down to sleep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take. God bless Charley and keep him a good little boy; bless all the afflicted people and save us all in heaven with little budgy for Christ's sake, Amen." I pray this little prayer, like a ehainless letter, will roll on; and all the boys of the name of Charley, and others also, will pray it; and some sweet day meet him in heaven. His precious toys, books and Bible are tucked away to remind us of his little angelic words he learned here on earth in his short service of the blessed Father in Heaven. To such as him death has no sting, and the grave no victory. He died Jan. 21, 1902, in Miami, Texas. I shall ever pray that the word and all the Millers will meet him in heaven.—A. D. Miller.

Join author and business coach Dave Crenshaw as he shows you the key to enhancing your productivity—focusing on your most valuable activities and minimizing the distractions that waste your time. This course shows you how to determine where you make the most valuable contributions to your company while minimizing and offloading distractions. Create a plan to mind your time and effort and help coworkers and employees discover their most valuable activities, which can result in an office-wide productivity boost.
This course is one of a series of five Dave Crenshaw courses based on his Invaluable teaching methodology for professional development.
Are you getting maximum results from your time? Are you focused in your attention? Your answer to these questions, how productive and focused you are, will have a significant effect on your career. In my book, Invaluable, I explored how to help individuals increase the value of their time and quality of work life, in other words, how to become invaluable. This course, Enhancing Your Productivity, is part of a five-course series on helping you become invaluable and get the most from your carrier.
In my coaching, two factors in becoming invaluable are irreplaceability and focus. These two factors go hand in hand and are the key to enhancing your productivity. Although they serve different purposes, they both affect how you spend your time at work. Irreplaceability is an indicator of how difficult it would be to replace you with someone else. It considers the next best alternative to you and your services. To make yourself irreplaceable, you want to understand which of your activities are most valuable.
I call these your most valuable activities, or your MVAs. When you spend the majority of your time on activities that bring the most to the business' bottom line, you are making yourself irreplaceable. In this course, we will take you through the process of identifying your most valuable activities. Then, you will compare your results with the most valuable activities of your co-workers, including your boss, and any people that you may manage. Why? Well, by understanding your MVAs and those of the people around you, you will begin to see how you can fit yourself into the company in a way that makes you irreplaceable, and that will lead us to the invaluable factor of focus.
This factor means that once you have identified what makes you valuable, then you need to focus your time as much as possible on those most valuable activities. I will give you some strategies to help you maintain focus, both in scheduling your activities and in eliminating the little distractions that happen throughout your day. When you combine the identification of your most valuable activities with the strategy of focus, you will take significant steps toward enhancing your productivity.

Discussions about banking, finance, and the application grind in the industrial engineering department are as commonplace as references to the Core in John Jay Dining Hall. The application process to banks and consulting jobs is one that many Ivy League students understand: It is competitive, clearly structured, and reputable. There is no uncertainty about what needs to be done: Dress professionally; attend an information session; network appropriately; submit an application, resume, and cover letter; prepare for the interview, go through several rounds; and (hopefully) receive an offer soon after. The timeline is clear. There is comfort in having an answer to the question "What are you doing after graduation?" before Christmas. However, most of my peers rarely sound excited about the prospect of spending their lives in a bank.
As a caveat, I say most because I do have some friends who are genuinely interested in financial markets, banking, and the whole lifestyle that comes with it. Kudos to them for investing their life in what they love!
Some people are lucky. They find their passion at a young age. "I'm going to be a doctor and save people's lives!" "One day, I'm going to become a world-famous violinist." "Time loses meaning when I'm coding in front of a computer."
In the past, college used to be a time of exploration. Now, when I look around at my friends who are economics majors or industrial engineers, I see them settling for the "cubicle life" to drown in the corporate whirlpool from year one. "I don't really have a passion. Investment banking pays well, though. I'll do it for a few years, and then I'll quit and do what I love." Sometimes, I feel like I'm the only one who hasn't been able to find life's meaning stashed away in the filing cabinets of the finance industry.
What is the point of spending all night in the office and making all that money when you don't have any time to spend with the people you love? Is it only when you realize that the only relationships you're cultivating are with those who only care about how much revenue you are generating for the company?
Back in high school, my favorite teacher gave a wonderful graduation speech, and his main message was clear: Think. He proposed thinking about joy and about what makes us happy. However, I'm going to go one step further and propose that we also think about fear and the rationale behind it. Is your fear of uncertainty so great that you would willingly give up the wonder of being free?
Our 20s are meant to be the greatest times of our lives. Now is the time to make the mistakes that are most worth making. True, you can always work a couple of years on Wall Street, save up some money, and then leave. However, it's also true that even when you win the "rat race," you're still a rat.
Here we are at the greatest university in the world (no bias!), and we are all seemingly going into finance. There is so much talent entering the community but no innovation leaving it. So I propose some food for thought: What is your purpose in life? Do you feel we have an obligation to leave the world a better place than before we entered it?
I'm not suggesting that I know the answers to all the questions that I am asking or that my thoughts will never change. Heck, I don't even know yet what my plans are for next year yet! And yes, I am freaking out about it. However, I also believe that we all have the tenacity to become successful when we do what we love if we have the courage to fight for it. So I'm not going to let my fears of the unknown force me to settle down at the age of 21. I am going to struggle, and I'm going to hope that one day I will find that thing that I can do to make the world a better place. Because at the end of it all, my hope is that I can live my life in such a way that when I look back on the path that I am taking now, I will be proud to claim it as mine.

I have been working hard for more than half a decade now for the opportunity to make a large income upon graduation. I feel no guilt about that, and I don't think there's anything wrong with the brightest minds in the country going into a field which sustains the economy. I don't consider myself a "rat", I consider myself a man who knows what he wants in this world. It's time to move past this holier-than-though attitude of people who look down on lucrative careers.
I feel like you're missing the point of her argument. She's not saying that there's anything wrong with a lucrative career. It sounds more like she's saying everyone should take some time to think about what they really want out of life and then go into something that they're proud of. Personally, I think this article was great-- well said Farsai!
It's a valid point that Farsai is making, but something that I think she's not considering is that rent is due every month and that it takes money to pay the bills and put food on the table. That can be a stressful reality for many people.
Absolutely go after a career that you have a passion to pursue. But also remember that when it comes to REAL LIFE outside college, there is a necessary balance. That is, of course, unless your parents are willing to float you for another few years while you exclusively pursue your passions without consideration for real life obligations. That's a privilege that may be available to some graduates, but probably not most. In life outside college, there's no structured meal plan or guaranteed four years of housing once you graduate. You miss a payment, you're SOL...
Moreover, most college graduates have some form of student debt to pay off, and while a career in finance may not be THE career for the rest of your life, it guarantees a number of valuable skills in training and preparation for the rest of your professional life, and can also help pay off some of those student loans.
I'm a recent graduate of CU and while I like that these issues are being raised, without real life experience to judge your peers on wanting a little bit of safety when graduation time comes, I don't think Faisal is giving fair consideration to how tough it is in the real world and she may be living in an ideal mindset. Also, don't call people rats...though I commend her for raising these questions and for asking people to give it a thought.
As a caveat, I graduated from CU, spent a few years at an investment bank, and then left to pursue a different career outside of finance. I don't regret the decision I made to start working at an investment bank, and I'm happy with my decision to leave and work in a different industry at a much smaller company...and I'm still in my 20's, so I'm very much in the process of "figuring it all out."
I respect your argument in defense of what might be termed the "real world reaction," but to be absolutely honest, I'm not totally convinced. Yes, it's hard in the real world, and yes you do need to pay your rent, but there are so many other careers out there where you make enough to get by (comfortably I might add) and still do something that you love.
Once again, just like Farsai, I'm not saying that investment banking=evil. I'm just saying that there is space for people to really consider what they want to do with their lives while also balancing that with something practical without necessarily going into banking (which, let's face it, a lot of Columbia kids try to do this by default). It's Socrates--an unexamined life isn't worth living, and I think that Farsai is just bringing this to the forefront. Don't hide behind the "real world" as an excuse for not doing this; there's definitely a way to balance both.

Frontier Natural Products, Powdered Baking Soda, 16 oz (453 g)
By Frontier Natural Products55 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Nov 2017
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?1.3 lbs (0.59 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Sprinkle some on my toothbrush and my teeth couldn't get any whiter. It's a big bag for a very nice price. Will buy again.
I originally bought this to feed to my goats as I want only natural products going IN my goats so I get natural raw milk OUT of my goats. But when I saw how different this was from "store bought" baking soda, I decided to use it for baking as well. I love it. And the price is excellent.

Oh those rugby club initiation ceremonies... When new team member Stefan not only plays well but scores the winning try he can expect to be showered with praise, but this being the UKNM rugby team, he gets showered with a lot more... Team spirit mixes with pent-up excitement and before you know it, a celebratory rub and suck has turned into a full-on cum shower with two of our heaviest cummers; Matt Hughes and Tyson, spraying Stefan from cock to forehead with continuous streams of cum. The sight and sensation of his two horse-hung team mates unloading onto him brings Stefan to a shuddering, gushing climax and he shoots his own load like a geyser, adding even more to the pools of cum which are now running down his body. The first-match nerves are gone, the team has bonded and Stefan's the man of the match.

Career Fields
The BA Theology (Honours) program allows greater specialization than is possible in the standard BA Theology program. It is designed for students who wish to obtain deeper insight and more intensive training in their subject of special interest and who are able to meet the higher standards set.
This program guides students into the rich and complex heritage of Christian belief and practice. By more deeply understanding the intricacies of the Christian tradition, students will be better able to interpret it within contemporary culture and to appreciate the complex traditions of others. An important component of this involves the careful use of the Christian Scriptures, and so all BA Theology (Honours) students gain competency in the study of a biblical language. Students also gain skills to think and write clearly as they analyze sophisticated theological ideas. Since a high priority in the program is placed on robust dialogue and discussion, students learn important relational and communication skills.
Finally, since theological ideas shape living and character, students are pushed to become competent and effective leaders in whatever context they find themselves. This program offers broad preparation for a variety of careers. The BA Theology (Honours) also offers an excellent foundation for graduate studies in fields such as theology, religious studies, and pastoral ministry.
Entrance into this program is by application following the completion a minimum of 45 credit hours, and the student is required to have a cumulative GPA of 3.3 at the time of entry. Approval is subject to faculty availability and competence in the area of research.
The BA Theology (Honours) requires the completion of 51 credit hours of major requirements, including 33 credit hours at the 300-400 levels with a minimum of 12 credit hours at the 400 level. Like most Briercrest programs, the BA Theology (Honours) requires 39 credit hours of 300+ course work within the context of a 126 credit hour degree.
Students will complete the four-year BA degree Core Curriculum, as well as 6 semesters of Service and Experiential Learning. As part of their graduation requirements, all four-year BA students will also complete the Senior Portfolio (PRT 400).
New students: apply to the college now and our admissions advisors will work closely with you throughout the rest of the process.
Current students: contact Academic Services to change programs and/or to be connected with a faculty adviser.

Kevin Daugherty
Kevin was raised in a Christian home and, at the age of eight, he accepted Jesus Christ as his Saviour and Lord and was baptized at Rosemont Park Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas. Much later, he became a Bible major at Hardin-Simmons University, where he surrendered his life to full-time vocational service. He returned to Fort Worth to attend seminary and married Myra, who had felt called into missions since she was fourteen years old.
He then pastored a small congregation in Arkansas while he finished his PhD. Afterward, he and Myra began to look for a place on the mission field where God could use them. They ended up at the Philippine Baptist Theological Seminary (PBTS).
He and Myra taught at PBTS from June 2001 to March 2006. Although his primary teaching responsibilities were in the areas of theology and church history, he also taught philosophy of religion, New Testament, Greek, ethics, and preaching. They also enjoyed mentoring the students in discipleship contexts in their home and local churches. Myra hosted a students' wives Bible study on Monday nights and Kevin was active in the college and discipleship ministries of their church.
While they were serving as the Missionaries-in-Residence at Oklahoma Baptist University, God called them to Briercrest College and Seminary, and they are very excited to be serving him here.
Kevin, along with David Miller, led a Briercrest study tour in the summer of 2013, "Following Paul in Turkey and Greece."

YouTube has recently updated the video page's design. Besides some obvious changes, like a slightly bigger player that lets you jump anywhere in the video, YouTube now lets you customize the player when you copy the embedding code. The custom players were already available for playlists, but now you can use them for individual videos as well. Just click on "customize embed" next to the generated HTML code and choose a theme. You could also add a border around the video and choose not to show related videos.
The code will probably include an URL that looks like this:
You can change the two colors from the URL (color1 and color2) to any value you want: the 216 web safe colors are a good start, but don't forget to replace "#" with "0x".
Here's a list of other YouTube parameters that could be useful if you want to manually edit the code (the default values are in bold):
* border (values: 0, 1) - if the value is 1, shows a border around the video
* rel (values: 0, 1) - if the value is 0, the player doesn't show related videos
* autoplay (values: 0, 1) - if the value is 1, the video starts to play automatically
