E-Rate | News
In response to the FCC's request for suggestions about modernizing the E-Rate program, National School Boards Association (NSBA) Executive Director Thomas J. Gentzel has offered a series of recommendations.
Gentzel commented, "To successfully usher in a new future for E-rate, NSBA urges the FCC to ground modernization of E-Rate in the individual circumstances of the nation's 14,000 school districts and 98,000 public schools... Local decision-making and local flexibility should be maximized in implementation of the E-Rate program."
He went on to assert, "Simply repurposing or rearranging priorities for the $2.5 billion E-rate program is not sufficient to achieve the ambitious goals of the ConnectED initiative, and could impact school district finances and operations in ways that make it even more difficult for low-income and rural schools and libraries to meet the instructional needs of their students."
Gentzel also made specific recommendations, urging the FCC to do the following:

This is a company on the move, and its products keep you moving as well. United Technologies has businesses ranging from aircraft engines and helicopters to elevators and HVAC systems. The company operates in six units: Otis, Carrier, Chubb, Pratt and Whitney, Hamilton Sundstrand, and Sikorsky. UTX is a huge company with $47.8 billion in annual sales, and it is growing earnings in the 12%-15% range.
If those numbers sound interesting, here are a few more to consider. After posting earnings per share of $2.65 in 2004 and $3.12 in 2005, United Technologies earned $3.71 in 2006. The consensus is for $4.12 in 2007 and $4.67 in 2008. Return on equity exceeds 20% currently and the dividend yield is 1.70%. The company has delivered positive earnings surprises for eight straight quarters, and estimates have risen steadily. The stock price is up 35% over the past two years and has nearly doubled since 2003.
UTX 5-yr chart
United Technologies is involved in some fairly cyclical industries--building systems and aerospace--but its diversity helps smooth out some of the swings and investors are definitely liking what they see on the horizon for UTX as a whole. The commercial aerospace industry was in a rather dismal state for years, but the sector is rebounding now and the prospects for the next few years are quite promising. Moreover, the past few years of military conflict around the globe, combined with heightened terrorist activity, bodes well for renewed spending on military aerospace products.
UTX's Pratt and Whitney segment supplies commercial, general aviation, and military aircraft engines. The Sikorsky unit makes military and commercial helicopters. The Hamilton Sundstrand segment provides aerospace and industrial products, and after-market services. Its aerospace products include aircraft power generation management and distribution systems; environmental, flight, fuel, and engine control systems; fuel and special fluid pumps; auxiliary power units; propeller systems; electronic controls and components; and specialized instruments and chemical detection, and monitoring equipment. Its industrial products include air compressors, metering devices, fluid handling equipment, and gear drives.
On the building systems front, UTX's Otis division makes elevators, escalators, and moving walkways. The Carrier segment provides commercial and residential heating, ventilating, and air conditioning [HVAC] systems and equipment; commercial and transport refrigeration equipment; and aftermarket service and components. Chubb segment offers electronic security and fire protection products and services. In the electronic security industry, it provides system integration, installation, and service of intruder alarms, access control, and video surveillance systems. In the fire protection industry, it provides system integration, installation, and service of portable and fixed suppression systems, and fire detection systems.
UTX carries a fair bit of debt on its balance sheet, $8.29 billion as of last quarter. The company is always on the prowl for acquisitions. It spent roughly $4.5 billion to buy other companies in 2005 and keeps $2 billion a year earmarked for acquisitions as a general rule. The company has also been buying back its own stock, and last month it announced a repurchase program to allow for up to $4 billion in buybacks.
United Technologies is a company on the move despite its massive size. Earnings are expected to grow at an average of 11% over the next five years, though with the recent gains in its stock price it's hardly a blue-chip bargain. Nonetheless, it offers a combination of stability, growth, and a chance to ride a cyclical upturn in the aerospace industry.

Outlaw's double-double flattens East Chapel Hill in PAC-6 finale
ROXBORO — East Chapel Hill did not make it easy on Person Friday night, but the Rockets managed to gut out a 59-50 victory over the Wildcats, who finished winless in 12 regular-season PAC-6 games.
Person senior Tyrone Outlaw Jr. had a huge night in his regular season swan song at home, finishing with a double-double — 23 points and 15 rebounds.
The Rockets (14-10, 8-4 PAC-6) appeared on the verge of blowing out the Wildcats early, jumping out to 13-3 after the first quarter before East methodically worked its way back in the game.
East (9-15, 0-12) trailed by two, 41-39 heading into fourth, before the Rockets erupted on a 7-0 to start the quarter, punctuated by a pair of Outlaw dunks.
Jake Hilkey paced the Wildcats with 18 points, while Arkavius Parks added 11.
Joseph Downey came off the bench for the Rockets and chipped in 15 points and seven rebounds.
In the opener of the Roxboro doubleheader, the East girls lived large at the line and cruised to a 45-32 victory.
The Wildcats led throughout but gave themselves a 37-21 cushion heading into the fourth quarter after making 8-of-8 from the foul line during the final 1:35 of the third.
The Wildcats held a double-digit lead for the entire second half despite only making three shots from the floor. The 13-point margin of the defeat was the smallest for the Rockets in PAC-6 play.
Person, which didn't win a PAC-6 game this season, lost by its smallest margin of those 12 losses. The 13-point deficit comes in contract to a 101-point loss Person suffered a Hillside a couple of weeks ago (117-16).
Ali Cyr-Scully paced the Wildcats with 19 points, including a 17 of 20 effort from the line. ECH was held to just three field goals in the second half and didn't score a basket for a 12-minute span.
Roxboro Person 59, East Chapel Hill 50

Cape Town - The Social Justice Coalition (SJC) and the City of Cape Town are engaged in a war of words over sanitation provision in Khayelitsha.
On Thursday, the SJC accused mayor Patricia de Lille of fabrication and "an exceptional show of force" after the arrest of 21 activists outside the Civic Centre on Wednesday.
Mayoral committee member for utility services Ernest Sonnenberg said the SJC was using the sanitation problems for "self-serving publicity".
The city and the SJC have been at loggerheads over the provision of sanitation in informal settlements and about the way the city has monitored companies contracted to supply and clean chemical toilets.
On Wednesday, SJC activists, including general secretary Phumeza Mlungwana and Ndifuna Ukwazi director Zackie Achmat, chained themselves to railings outside the Civic Centre.
They were arrested and charged under the Illegal Gatherings Act and are to appear in the Cape Town Magistrate's Court on September 18.
De Lille described the protest as a "publicity stunt" that "smacks of grandstanding". She said the coalition had not responded to an offer to meet on October 8 or 17.
But the SJC said: "These are outright fabrications. The mayor only proposed these dates after the SJC's lawyers, the Legal Resources Centre, sent two letters and it was clear that the SJC would be taking legal action against the city."
The coalition again accused the city of being lax in its monitoring of toilet contractors and said it would continue to protest in spite of the arrests.
Mlungwana said the SJC had tried to set up an earlier date with De Lille as the sanitation problem in Khayelitsha was an "urgent" matter.
In June, it asked the city to provide a policy on sanitation and a plan to fix the problem in Khayelitsha, which the city had done.
"We had a lot of questions about the document. It didn't say who was responsible for what and when they should be doing it. This is an urgent issue and we want the mayor to give answers," Mlungwana said. In the policy document there was no indication of public consultation.
Achmat said the SJC wanted the city to provide a breakdown of how many people were employed to clean toilets, not only in Khayelitsha but other areas, and details of the equipment provided.
Sonnenberg said the 800 people employed in the programme were provided with "protective clothing, necessary immunisation and training".
"There will always be management challenges… and the city has sought to respond to these as they arise. If the SJC has concerns…these should be reported as they arise so they can be remedied, not kept back to generate self-serving publicity."

In fact, if there's one guarantee with Beane, whose career was made into the critically-acclaimed movie "Moneyball," it's that he's not afraid to make the unconventional move. Even if unconventional sometimes equals unpopular.

UNH attendance record of 2,415 established
|Emmy Blouin
DURHAM, N.H. - The third-ranked Stanford University women's volleyball team swept host University of New Hampshire by the scores of 30-13, 30-12, 30-18 before a UNH-record crowd of 2,415 on the fifth annual "Pack the Arena Night" at Lundholm Gymnasium on Tuesday night.
Stanford (5-1 overall) won the opening point of the first game and never trailed the entire match. The Cardinal opened with an impressive .500 hitting percentage in Game 1 and hit at a .432 clip for the match. UNH (0-7) began with eight kills and six attack errors for a .065 hitting percentage in the first game and recorded a match-high .094 hitting percentage in Game 3. The Wildcats finished at .011 for the night.
Sophomore outside hitter Emmy Blouin (St. Albert, Alberta) led the Wildcats with eight kills as she led the team in that statistic in both Game 1 (four) and Game 3 (three). Senior captain Erin Walker (Fulton, N.Y.) was second to Blouin with five kills and also had a team-high three blocks.
Trailing 18-5 in the third game, the Wildcats rallied to within 18-9 with Lucia Bridova (Bratislava, Slovakia) setting the offense. UNH closed within eight points at 22-14 did so again at 24-16, but the Cardinal won six of the next eight points to close out the match.
Bridova recorded all seven of her assists in Game 3. Sarah Rehn (Oceanside, Calif.) was the primary setter in the first two games and was credited with 10 assists. Callie Webster (Mercer Island, Wash.) led UNH's defensive effort with seven digs and Blouin followed with six.
Stanford was led offensively by Cynthia Barboza (13 kills) and Kristin Richards (12), who also finished with a match-high 14 digs. Bryn Kehoe quarterbacked the Cardinal attack and amassed 36 assists.
UNH's previous attendance record of 1,949 was established on the original "Pack the Arena Night," which was Oct. 22, 2000 vs.then-conference rival Hofstra University.
New Hampshire returns to action this weekend at the University of Connecticut. On Sept. 9, the Wildcats play both Brown (10 a.m.) and UConn (7 p.m.). The 'Cats conclude the tourney Sept. 10 vs. Seton Hall at 12 p.m. The next UNH home match will be for its Ocean National Bank Tournament from Sept. 16-17.

Land of the free, home of the bra.... wait, can I say brave, would other nations take offense because that would mean they're not brave or that they're cowards? Maybe we should change that...
Printable View
There's alot "soap box" gum bumping coming from this crew. Everyday it's something.
I love how everyone is using "dis-abled" as the word to replace retarded. Dis-abled implies they cannot do it at all, whereas the root of the word retarded implies they are slower to do it. The current correct PC word is "less-abled." Get with the times...
No i did not ignore that part of the entry.
Joe didn't say "anyone who wants to play in the cold is a retard", or "whoever thought of that is retarded or is a retard".
The idea is retarded. I think it would RETARD peoples desire to go to the game since a lot of people wouldn't want to sit in the freezing cold and snow. My desire to go to the super bowl would be RETARDED if it were in a cold environment instead of a warm one.
In the event of a snow storm my ability to get to the game would be RETARDED by said snow.
I may not be the smartest poster on this board and i am far from being the most PC but the world has evolved into a bunch of slack jawed sissies. People used to be blind, now they are visually impaired. The deaf are now hearing impaired. Handicapped are now physically challenged or disabled which should be offensive in itself. When you disable something it is no longer viable.
Maybe i don't like being called white perhaps i should request all whites be referred to as Pigmentally challenged. I have a pigment imbalance, i am not white.
Joe didn't call you or anyone else retarded so get the fuck over it.
George Carlin has come to mind reading all this.

Because of the freedom of speech... and you have the right to think that a person who uses word X is a Y.
We've talked a lot of good football in the past, and I consider you a reasonable poster, so please understand I'm not attacking you, but perhaps we're "violently agreeing"! When you say "Perhaps every time we're about to speak, we should take a step back, count to 10, form our words, then say them slowly so we do not offend anyone.", I agree, and thus my comment that Flacco might need a refresher on how NFL players are trained to speak to the media.
As far as the media ferreting out controversial statements, my interpretation of most of the links offered in this thread is that the media has their panties in a bunch (the "P" word? ;)) over the debate on where games should be played, and not that Flacco used the "R" word.
Regarding making a mountain out of a molehill, I tend to agree with those who believe that a little civility and consideration of other's feelings is not out of order. Sticks and stones and .40 caliber ammo will likely break my bones, so I try and avoid them. Words will never inflict the same damage, at least towards me, but I'm willing to recognize that some MAY be hurt or offended by certain terms, and I can honor that. I guess the question remains as to which words and with whom. This relates more to my comment about Flacco making an ill-timed and poor choice of words like "retarded", which by cultural use seems okay to some, but in a more educated and aware environment should have been avoided. Maybe this is analogous, maybe not, but I see a similarity in the historical use of the "N" word (no, not Niners). I find it offensive, and I'm a white guy. IMO, it doesn't have a lot of practical use in most situations other than to create problems. Using "retarded" to describe why a Super Bowl should not be played in foul weather seems to be a similar non-starter.
The problem with what Flacco said is that there are people in this country that get into hissy fits over the fact he said retarded.
You're right, freedom of speech dictates that none of us have any right to prevent anyone else from calling something retarded.
But it cuts both ways, so WE can say that anyone who insists on using retarded as a pejorative is an asshole. (Note, Flacco is not an asshole because he recognized his gaffe and immediately retracted it. It's the folks who seem hell bent on insisting that he shouldn't have had to who I'm talking about here.)
Again, NO ONE is FORCING ANYONE to be PC. There are no word police, thought police, or idea police. No one who calls things they don't like retarded is going to be dragged into the street and shot.
You are free to call anything you want retarded. But you are not free from being called out for that.
Boo-Fucking-hoo someone said you word you don't like. So fucking what.
You have issues with the words Moron, Idiot, Imbecile, Stupid or Dumb? Should he have used any of those words instead? Guess what they all mean almost the exact same thing. They almost all have to do with being mentally retarded.
Just because mental midget PC sissies get bent over the use of a word does not make it a federal offense.
Yes ASB, that is exactly right, and was alluded to in my "you have the right to think that a person who uses word X is a Y" statement. But you calling the person anything back only furthers the non-PC stance adding merit to the "don't be such a thin skinned whimp" argument from the PC side.
And you're right, it would have been "categorically wrong and pathetic logic" of me if I had said what you said I did. Fortunately, I didn't. (Reading comprehension!)
Here is what you said:
When did America turn into a bunch of pussies? You people need to get thicker skin and not give a damn about what people say unless it is directed at you.
Here is what I said after:
Captain Silver was not being specific to this [the "retard" situation] example. He was broadly stating that people should not care about things unless they personally affect them, which is a statement so morally and historically dubious I don't even know where to start.
So to reiterate:
What you said sure as hell sounds like a general statement to me! So, yes, I think that "not giv[ing] a damn about what people say unless it is directed at you" is extremely morally dubious. Mostly because of a little thing called empathy.

Sprinter Kath Endacott offering her help to up-and-coming Plymouth Argyle striker
Posted: January 30, 2013|
INTERNATIONAL sprinter Katherine Endacott wants to continue doing her bit to improve Plymouth Argyle's fortunes by putting more of the League Two strugglers' players through their paces.
Endacott has made a start with young striker Matt Lecointe having sessions with the double Commonwealth Games medallist at the City of Plymouth AC's home track Brickfields.
The 33-year-old has held two training stints with Argyle's 18-year-old hitman and has made favourable noises of Lecointe's potentional.
Endacott does have history – and a successful one at that – of coaching and improving an Argyle striker.
She helped New Zealand's Rory Fallon gain an extra yard, which the former Pilgrims forward showed at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Fallon, 30, is presently playing with Scottish Premier League side Aberdeen.
Endacott said she is a football fan. The one-time Argyle Ladies winger comes from a well-known footballing family, so is fully sympathetic to the travails of her home-town club.
She insists the techniques she has absorbed during a successful career, and is willing to disseminate to the present Pilgrims squad, can only help the players.
Endacott said: "Matt (Lecointe) has come up to the track in his own time and he's shown lots of promise as an athlete.
"He's just starting out as a professional footballer and been up twice a week to the track.
"Coming from both a footballing and an athletics background, I know the importance of speed from a standing start and gaining strength and elasticity in the hips and joints.
"Matt's a case in point. He has natural speed but by listening to me and my dad (Plymouth AC sprints coach Steve Endacott) and following our instructions, he's bound to get better and more importantly – quicker.
"It worked well with Rory (Fallon) when he was at Argyle. He was very interested in anything that would give him an extra edge.
"Rory also used to go boxing training at Scott Dann's gym with other Argyle players at the time like Jamie Mackie to give them greater upper-body strength, which worked well.
"Without meaning to be disrespectful, I think football training can be a bit one dimensional and, because of the nature of the game, concentrate a lot on kicking, passing and so on.
"I've done that myself in the past when I played for Argyle Ladies with Pete Distin as coach. He was fantastic and enthusiastic and always interested in new ways of doing things.
"So, if there's any way that I can pass on what I've learned as an athlete from different coaches, like Linford Christie, then the players only have to ask."

The Chicago woman who accused GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain of an unwanted and aggressive sexual advance 14 years ago said on Tuesday morning that she is not getting paid to tell her story.
While acknowledging she's had financial problems in the past, Sharon Bialek said on CNN that she could have sold her story to a publication for money and said she is speaking out on behalf of the other women who were victims of sexually inappropriate behavior by the Republican presidential candidate. Bialek also said she wanted to be a good role model for her 13-year-old son.
Bialek was responding to claims by the Cain campaign late Monday evening that Bialek was either paid or promised a job for a fabricated story. The campaign's statement said that Cain's "opponents have now convinced a woman with a long history of severe financial difficulties, including personal bankruptcy, to falsely accuse the Republican front-runner of events allegedly occurring well over a decade ago for which there is no record nor even a complaint filed."
Despite the claims of harassment, Bialek said in a separate interview on CBS News' Early Show that she has not shut the door on voting for Cain in the future. When asked whether she would vote for him if he admitted to the allegations, she said "I hope that he does and I'd have to think about that one."
In the CNN interview on Tuesday morning, Bialek acknowledged that she filed for personal bankruptcy after her mother's medical bills piled up and she went through a custody battle following a divorce. "Like millions of other people out there, you know, I'm struggling. And I could have actually sold my story, but I didn't because ... my whole objective is to tell the truth and also help other people out there who may have been in similar situations."
Two women who worked for the National Restaurant Association when Cain headed the trade group from 1996 to 1999 won financial settlements after complaining of inappropriate behavior by Cain, and a third has said she had similar experiences with Cain but did not file a complaint. Those women have chosen to remain anonymous. Bialek is the first to step forward publicly.
Asked how she feels about Cain calling her a liar, Bialek said that it frustrated her and that she feels sorry for Cain's wife. "What is his wife going through? You know, that's who I feel for the most in this whole thing."
Bialek was also asked why she chose celebrity attorney Gloria Allred to represent her, another point that Cain raised in his campaign statement. Bialek said that others recommended Allred to her because of her reputation and told her, "Gloria's the best ... and she will walk you through this." Allred, also on the show, said she took Bialek's case free of charge.

For those who missed the recent World Deer Expo at the Birmingham Civic Center let me tell you, you missed a real treat for us hunters! There was so much to see however, that I had to call it quits after 4 and 1/2 hours of visiting booth to booth and enjoying meeting some real nice people from around Alabama and around the country. I met so many nice folks that I seriously considered a return trip on the next day but, time just didn't allow me that much indulgence.
I met John Sherling and his lovely wife, who had a booth displaying information about their Hunting place, Indian Creek Lodge of Greenville, Alabama. They offer Trophy whitetail hunts as well as Turkey and Wild Boar hunts. Folks this is a place that is close enough to have a quick hunt and still be able to pull the trigger on some BIG bucks! Call John @ 334-382-6951 to go ahead and book you that hunt of a life time ! for more info,check out their website www.indiancreeklodge.com
After you bag that trophy buck, you are going to need a good Taxidermist to complete thememory of the hunt with a tangible reminder that will last a life time. I have a definite favorite in mind when I got a new wall hanger on the back of my truck. Capps Taxidermist of Demopolis has mounted a number of deer and turkey for me and they can do a masterful job with whatever type of trophy you want to preserve in the best possible manner. They have won many awards for their artful renderings of all manner of Fish, Fowl and of course game animals from a chipmunk to a full body Elk mount! Give them a call when you want your trophy mounted right! email@example.com or just call Dee Capps @ 334-289-5281 and tell her "postoak" sent you!
The exhibitors at the show had an endless offering of hunting gear, camo clothes, guns, bows, knives, and a lot of great deals of hunting trips all around the world! It is my dream to go to Africa and take a Cape Buffalo and my choice for a North American trophy hunt would be for a Big Horn Ram out in the Rockies. I may not get to go on either hunt, but, like I said, it is a dream. I will just be happy this fall to find another old Whitetail buck to keep the others company on my Den Wall!
This photo shows just a couple of the hundreds of impressive bucks on display at the Expo last week in Birmingham. The number of hunting outfitters offering trips was huge! I did not book one but, since I am a confirmed turkey hunting addict, I did find a very nice Kentucky outfitter and got me a spring 2014 trip lined up to tag a couple of Kentucky long beards! The outfitter is Mossy Ridge Hunts out of London Kentucky and Larry Brock can put you in a stand to take a monster buck! call Larry at (606) 878-6580. He had some unbelievable game camera photos of the monster bucks roaming his farm.
BKM Outdoors, Makers of Deer Cam Candy, are local folks who make a great deer candy product that I tried last year for preseason attraction to my trail cams. The product they make will have those deer pawing a hole in the ground in front of your trail cameras and will help you see where to hang your stands! Check out their website www.bkmoutdoors.com or just give them a call (334)224-3676.
As a user of various deer scents all season long, I like to try some of the newest products in the scent lineup for Alabama deer. So, a locally made scent product would appear to be a logical choice to appeal to our deer. I found a maker of such products in TGx3 Deer Scents of Ohatchee Alabama. He showed me video evidence of his products at work on Alabama bucks and I bought a couple of his scent products to try this fall. He has a two year guarantee on freshness of the product if you follow his storage instructions and I think you will like what you get if you try some of his products. http://tgx3deerscents.com/ he also has a FB page listed under "Tgxdeerscents"
This week, I am back to doing some summer hunting camp work and scouting a new place for turkey, if the rain holds off! If you want to talk about the expo, get some outfitter info on some other folks I talked with, or just chat about the great Central Alabama Outdoors, drop me an email! email@example.com

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana (AP) -- LSU junior safety Jalen Mills has been reinstated to the team after his charge of second-degree battery was reduced to misdemeanor simple battery Monday.
Mills, who has been a two-year starter, allegedly punched a woman near his apartment last May. After his arrest in June, LSU coach Les Miles suspended Mills indefinitely.
Mills started the first 25 games of his career at cornerback before being moved to safety for the Outback Bowl against Iowa. The move became permanent during spring practice.
Monday was the first day of August drills for the Tigers. Mills worked in the afternoon session. Projected starters practiced in the morning.
Miles says Mills continues to be disciplined "in house" and "will get some extra conditioning as part of his situation."

I love the nutty, creamy taste of Emmy's Organics Cheesecake which is vegan, gluten free and raw. My dear friend Mary brought over some from the Park Slope Food Coop. I sampled the lemon cheesecake and the chocolate cheesecake. The lemon cheesecake looks like a key lime pie with a nut crust and a tangy nutty filling. I preferred the chocolate cheesecake because the cashews, almonds and cocao powder create a rich, mysterious taste. It's just sweet enough to be a rich dessert and a few bites are completely satisfying because of the raw, mostly organic ingredients. Unlike with most desserts, I felt better after the cheesecake than before the cheesecake--my brain felt calm and clear. My kids didn't sample the cheesecake-it was a little too healthy looking for them and since my son has never had cheese, the concept of "cheesecake" was a little too unbelievable for him. Emmy's Organics is made in Ithaca, New York in a facility that does not contain any dairy, wheat, gluten, corn, processed sugar or GMO's. And, unlike coca-cola, it's the real thing. If you are near the Ithaca Farmer's Market check out all the treats Emmy's Organics sells. And if you aren't near Ithaca you can check out their blog Emmy's Organics and be inspired by their raw, vegan vision.

Florida's only marsupial (a mammal of the order Marsupialia
having a pouch containing the mammary glands and serving as a
receptacle for the young) is the Virginia opossum (Didelphis
virginiana). Opossums are about the size of a
house cat, have long naked tails and small ears.
Opossums are attracted to virtually any type of available food,
including garbage, pet food, or cultivated fruits and
vegetables. To prevent attraction of opossums garbage cans
should be secured with rubber straps, and pet food should be taken
in at night.
A landowner may lawfully live-trap nuisance opossums using
sardines or cat food as effective bait. Live-captured nuisance
opossums must be released or euthanized within 24 hours of capture
or trap inspection. In addition, nuisance opossums may be
transported and released at an off-site location that is within the
county of capture and a minimum of 40 contiguous acres if the
releaser has written permission from the owner of the release site;
and the transportation of the wildlife does not violate any rabies
alert or area quarantine issued by a county health department or
county animal service. Relocating wildlife is seldom
biologically sound, the animal often does not survive.
You can receive technical assistance for opossum problems by
contacting the FWC regional office nearest you.

Purpose: The Conservation Committee promotes the conservation wild lands, wildlife habitat and recreation areas.
Committee chair:
2008 Conservation Report
"Dream Trail" wildlife/public corridor connecting Dishman Hills and Rocks of Sharon (Iller Creek) natural areas: A major effort through the Dream Trail planning team, a coalition including the Inland Northwest Land Trust, Dishman Hills Association, and others, to secure County Conservation Futures funding failed to get top priority due to the last-minute pull out of a key property owner. Undaunted, the team is forging ahead for other funding, looking at optional trail routes, maintaining property owner contacts, monitoring development proposals, etc. Broader in scope than the 2 1/2-mile connection, the project has included support for the County's acquisition of a 240-acre parcel from the state Dept. of Natural Resources, a continuing effort to secure Big Rock, many field trips and hikes (even a "moonlight" overnighter!).
Improvements to Conservation Futures natural areas: After playing a significant role in the successful fall '02 public vote to continue the Conservation Futures tax, members shifted to signing and trail projects. After hikes and field work, a specific proposal for a trail on the Slavin property south of town is going through the County's approval process with construction by Mountaineer crews anticipated in the spring. A 32-page Survey of Access and Signage of all County Conservation Futures sites was prepared and contacts with the Boy Scouts resulted in an Eagle Scout sign project.
Wilderness acquisition: Through representation on and support for both the Eastern Washington Wilderness Campaign working group and statewide "Wild Washington" campaign, efforts continued to secure federal wilderness designation for areas such as the Kettle Crest, Abercrombie and Selkirk Crest extension. Though attempts to meet locally with U.S. Rep. Nethercutt have failed, the conservation committee met with Larry Sheehan, a candidate to replace Nethercutt, to explain wilderness benefits. We plan to have similar informational sessions for the other four announced candidates for the 5th District Congressional seat.
Designating portions of public lands for non-motorized use: Mountaineer representatives have been diligently pressing for trails/areas to be set aside specifically for non-motorized users by attending forest planning meetings for Idaho's Panhandle and Kootenai forests and Washington's Colville forest. Several of the other activity committees have been involved. Suggestions for off-road vehicle (ORV) use are part of the process. To insure non-motorized representation in the face of overwhelming attendance by ORV users, a Board resolution to develop a club policy and process to improve Mountaineer involvement by all activity committees (e.g. climbers, hikers, skiers, paddlers) was presented to the Board for approval.
Cleanups: Traditional cleanups continued on the Mountaineers' Centennial Trail mile and the Minnehaha Rocks (George Shields park). Mountaineers worked a section of the REI-sponsored cleanup downstream of the Spokane city center in October.
Fees for access to public lands: A draft policy statement expressing club concern regarding the charging of parking fees at trailheads to undeveloped public lands for non-motorized users is being prepared for Board approval. The access fees are also part of the input to the forest planning process.
Earth Day: The now-traditional observance of "Earth Day" continued with a Riverfront Park climbing wall for kids plus conservation handouts, and a hike followed by a potluck picnic.
AVISTA Dam Relicensing: Club representation continued on both the plenary group and the Recreation/Land Use/Aesthetics work group for the federally-required process to relicense AVISTA's five Spokane River dams (Post Falls, Upper Falls, Monroe Street, Nine Mile and Long Lake).
Monitoring/commenting on development and other proposals: A sampling from the past year includes: Successful opposition to a proposed county comprehensive plan amendment that would have increased density and impacted a wildlife corridor in the agricultural area between Stevens Creek and Bruno roads... Support letter for Conservation Futures funding for a 12-acre site along the Spokane River near Stateline... Support for City acquisition of the Ashland Development proposal for 21 homes below High Drive that would block current trail use...
There were additional miscellaneous expenses. We are willing and able to help pay for mileage and fees associated with doing advocacy work in our area of interest. Talk to the chairs.
The Conservation Committee thanks EVERYONE who helped in any way!!! Any member who wants to learn more and/or join the effort is urged to:
1) Put yourself on the conservation e-mail activity list by sending an e-mail to email@example.com with the word "subscribe" in the subject line.
2) Come to a monthly conservation committee meeting. (See Kinnikinnick events schedule)

Matuidi's current contract with PSG is set to expire at the end of the season.
Reports suggest that both Chelsea and City are preparing pre-contract offers for the French international for January.
Matuidi could enter into a pre-contract agreement with interested clubs in January.
Reports suggest that PSG have offered Matuidi a new contract that could keep him in Paris until June 2018.
Matuidi insists that he has not agreed on a contract extension with PSG.
Matuidi told L'Equipe 21: "I am really at ease at PSG.
"My first wish would be to stay. But you can wish for something and sometimes it doesn't happen.
"The club has a special place in my heart, but anything can happen in a career."

Imam al-Ghazali
"The anthropomorphists (al-Hashwiyya) assert direction for Allah while guarding themselves from divesting Allah of His attributes (ta'tîl), falling thereby into likening Allah to creation (tashbîh). Allah has granted success to Ahl al-Sunna in establishing the truth. They have recognized the proper goal in establishing their method, and understood that direction is denied and disallowed for Allah because it pertains to bodies and complements them; while vision of Him is firmly established because it directly follows knowledge and attends it as its perfecting component."

If you're going to do that, I would do one exercise with low reps between the 1-5 range, then move on to the next exercise with reps in the 8-10 range. Otherwise in my opinion it's too much volume.
How often are you going to do this? It's fine if you don't do it more than 2x a week because it's a lot of work.
I do it Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. Haven't got any problems from it, and actually seen better results. Here's my workout routine.Originally Posted by Doobs

Your legs will hate you but I've done both in the same day before. 3x a week might be a bit extreme though.
It might be fine for a few weeks, but if you keep it up you will hit a wall and might lose strength.
Squats + front squats + power cleans is brutal in one workout.
The thing is I only can workout at my house. I only have a power rack, 45 pound barbell with 600 hundred pounds of barbell plates, EZ bar, and dumbbells going up to 60 pounds. Hardcore basic is all I got lol. I don't have any cable system or anything like that. I also have a weight bench too. Thinking about replacing it with one of those benches you can turn into a leg extension exercise and preacher exercise.

That's fine, but you don't have to do all that 3 times a week.
Iv did them both for the same workouts for a couple of months. Like others have said, make one lower heavier sets and the other higher lighter. Like heavy low rep squats then higher rep fronts.

Am I reading this right?
You are doing legs three days a week. (M, W, Sa)
You are doing chest three days a week. (T, Th, Su)
You are doing back once a week. (Sa also)
Only 1 day off. (F)
Is it me, or is this a recipe for disaster? (Or at least over training?)
Remember, you grow out of the gym, not in it...
(And why back only once?)

You want our weapons!? Come and get them!
I started doing both. Yesterday I did heavy sets of regular ATF squats 3x6x265 (after warm up sets). Then later in the leg workout I did sets front squats at around 135lbs, with higher reps. Working on getting my front squat form down because I've been doing tabata front squats on off days for HIIT.

Atlanta: Focus on Local/Organic Ingredients?
I am in search of a restaurant in the downtown area (within 10-15 minutes of downtown) where the chef focuses on the use of local and organic ingredients.
In my research so far, I have found Woodfire Grill, and that seems like a good spot. I am wondering if anyone has any other recommendations? All cuisine types are welcome suggestions.
I am also hoping (if possible) to keep things around $30-$40 per person including one or two beer or wine drinks per person, tax, and tip. Woodfire doesn't have any prices listed on their web site, probably b/c of the ever-changing menu. Does anyone know if I can get out of there within the above-listed price range?
The $40/person price range is a definite possibility at Woodfire Grill proper, but you'll have to order strategically and judiciously. Mains are in the $15-25 range, starters in the $8-12 range. Excellent selection of reasonably priced wines by the glass.
The less formal and less-pricey Woodfire Grill Cafe is probably your best bet. Went there last Friday, and the two of us spent around $60 for a heirloom caprese salad, a pizzetta, a bowl of pasta, and two glasses of albarino.
re: pastramiking
Thanks pastramiking! Very helpful!
re: pastramiking
was it hot as H*ll in the cafe ? I've been twice to go the cafe and opted for the dining room because it was 80 degrees in there.
The budget's a little tight for Woodfire: last night we had two apps (squash soup and beet salad with feta), two mains (john dory and gnocchi), one glass of cava, one glass of gruner veltliner, two glasses of chardonnay, one large bottle of sparkling water, and one coffee (french press) for $113 (including tax, before tip). An amuse was included (peach pate wrapped in serrano ham, lovely).
So if you skipped the bottled water (they're not snooty about it, we just like fizzy water) and coffee you'd bring it down a bit. The desserts are great, though, so I'd consider going over budget for them.
Other places to consider in the area that use locally sourced ingredients include The Globe (the closest to your price point), Sotto Sotto (Italian, but makes a point of using local melon, etc.), Ecco, and Bacchanalia (well outside your budget, but worth it).
re: Therese
Isn't Mary Mac's organic ? Oh wait I am thinking of 'recycling' (bread baskets), not organics. Sorry.

JAMESTOWN, CA - It happened so quickly, apparently no one thought to take a picture. Jordan's King Abdullah arrived on a Harley for lunch at the National Hotel Saturday along with an entourage of about 65 staff and security people.
Assistant manager Leslie Chitwood said an advance team scouted the hotel last week, saying only that a delegation of foreign dignitaries would be stopping for lunch. Chitwood said only after the group arrived did they learn the visitors included Jordan's head of state and his son, Crown Prince Hussein bin Al Abdullah.
Chitwood said the king and his son were among a group of 11 people who dined on the patio, and most had ridden motorcycles. Members of the U.S Secret Service and Jordanian security agents ate in the hotel's dining room or out in front on the sidewalk.
Waitress Magali Silman served the group on the patio and said all wore Harley T-shirts and jackets. The king, she said, was very pleasant and ordered veal piccata from the dinner menu. His teenaged son had a cheeseburger with grilled onions. Silman said everyone drank diet Coke or sparkling water.
She said the tab for the group on the patio ran about $200 and was paid with an American Express card. The other meals were arranged in advance, she said.
Jamestown merchant Karen Luckhardt, who owns the gift shop across the street from the hotel, said she initially thought it was just an average group of bikers visiting the historic Gold Rush town until she saw the unmarked SUVs carrying men with earpieces.
Luckhardt said she had followed the Jordanian royal family for years and was excited to learn King Abdullah had chosen to stop in Jamestown.
The 140-year-old National Hotel has hosted movie stars and other celebrities, but Chitwood said she thought Saturday's visit was the first by royalty.
The king's security detail would not say where they had been or where they were going.

Audrina Patrdige is so over reality TV, you guys. In fact, the former Hill's star claims that she won't be returning for another season of her spinoff show, Audrina. The series started strong, but has since been lagging in ratings since premiering on VH1 in the spring. Perhaps the low viewer turnout left a bad taste in her mouth. "We finished in April and I kind of decided I wanted to take some time off from reality," she told The Daily. "I want to do something like acting or hosting," And to spend more quality time with my bikini she no doubt thought.
Speaking of her famous beach bod, Audrina also addressed the rumors that she's taken a cue from another (in)famous Hills alum and gone under the surgeon's knife. "They always ask me about that because of Heidi [Montag]. There's all these rumors and they all say I've had, like, six procedures, and I'm, like, 'Where do you get that?' Look at the pictures. I fluctuate in weight a lot." She denied having any work done on her face, but got prickly when the topic of certain "enhancements" came up. "Well, see I have this chest problem," she says. "My bone right here, it's higher on this side? It's pectoralis something, so I've always struggled with that. You could see they look different sizes all the time." And there you have it: Audrina has mood boobs. Not implants. Mystery solved.

Discussions Relating to Universal Reconciliation > Discussions on Universal Salvation
Divine Intention Of God
If I can clear away some of the religious brush and cobwebs that have built up over the years, who knows what we might discover and encounter. Maybe even the reality of God. I just can't simply buy that the state of the church today is all that God's offering. And in that I'm going to kick off this "process theology".
After all, life is a JOURNEY!
I believe whole-heartedly in the NOW. Eckhart Tolle's book sold as many copies as it did (The Power Of Now) because it spoke to the spirit of man very loudly. And since I am an AND-ALSO person, I'm going to have it both ways.
Process theology is about BECOMING as much as BEING.
Process philosophy (aka, process theology) identifies metaphysical reality with change and dynamism. Since the time of Plato, metaphysical philosophers have posited a "timeless" metaphysical reality of substances, objects, or things, while processes are denied or subordinated to timeless objects. Process philosophy reverses this priority and favors "Becoming" over "Being".
I favor both! :bigGrin:
Literalists not only have closed the canon (I'm okay with that), but they've closed their minds as well (that I don't like) to anything NEW . And yet, they accept the changes that Luther made just a couple hundred years ago. Go figure!
In other words, I believe that God is IN (more than just IN) a continual and continuing relationship with His creation and thus us. And He is working with each one of us to bring our potentuality to actuality. It is not only IN HIM that WE live and move and have our being, but He in us as well.
God's essence is giving- LOVING!
God is not indifferent, nor aloof. Since God is LOVE, the world, all of creation is the object of that love. That would also include you and I. Woo-hoo! :bigGrin:
God created us for a relationship that would allow Him to express Himself with us, in us, and through us. Not many are allowing that.
Jesus, the Christ fully did and He is our model. Follow Him!
God is not an intruder, nor is He a visitor from outer space. While theism carried the water (no pun intended) for so many centuries, the bucket is now empty. Theism defines God as one who is somewhere "out there" who intervenes in human affairs from time to time. Like this post modern world that we live in, I don't know what's after modern, so we call it "post" modern. I don't know what's beyond theism, but I have a hunch there is a lot of enlightenment. God is not an intruder because God is EVERYWHERE at work, in varying ways. Why is this? It's because it is the INTENTION of God to see that ALL are saved! It's what your Bible says.
God is already here- no intrusion can be had. He is IN the world, and the world is IN Him (panentheism, not pantheism). God is the circumambient Reality outside of whom nothing can exist. And it is His INTENTION to redeem and restore (Acts 3:21) every creature that He has created.
This is one of the reasons God is called LOVE! :bigGrin:
God is everywhere in various means expressing Himself: in ways we don't even know. But, if you want to know the fullness of God's expression, then look to Jesus who was one of our kind, the Word made flesh, our brother. The divine INTENTION for all of humanhood is exemplified in Jesus, the Christ. There's no way that we can deny the humanity of Jesus and still say He stood in our place.
Norman Pittenger said it this way (in 1959), "The line of thought which would suggest some catastrophic intrusion, some entirely unprecedented downthrust without parallel in any degree, makes nonsense both of the actual picture of Jesus in the gospels and the experience of men in finding God in Jesus as their human brother."
Is this really so hard to comprehend?
Jesus doesn't stand in the way of mankind's search for God. Can you hear that? Jesus is the ultimate, express image of God, as the writer of Hebrews said, but not the "only" example. God can be found everywhere, as He is everywhere. Perfectly God meets us in the person of Jesus, while God meets in an imperfect way, others, in other places. God did not mess up, He did not have any oversight in His planning, and He will see to it that ALL of His creation is restored and He will be ALL in ALL, not some as I Cor. 15:22-28 says.
It's called GOOD NEWS!
It's called the divine intention(s) of God!
No amount of believing that something is true can actually make it so. What we need to concentrate on are those foundational truths that are obviously the intent of God towards all. Here are four to begin. Every man is related to God as creature to Creator. We are ALL related to God as objects of His love. We are agents of God's will, however slight or great that might be. And, we are related to God through prayer (or meditation-contemplation). And we have acquired that position thanks to the personhood of Jesus. Man was made for God and Jesus accepted that offer, fully! It is in God that man finds his fulfillment and completion. Isn't that exactly what Jesus did?
The divinity of Christ is so much bigger than an historical fact; it is a "religious experience" and an act of faith operating upon those historical facts. What is focused, centered, and constant in Jesus is diffused, scattered, and sporadic in you and I; but, there nonetheless! Jesus shows us how dependent we should be on the living God. God made man "towards him" as St. Augustine said. Anything short of communion with God will leave a hole in our soul. And, nothing will finally satisfy man but fellowship with God.
Nothing! :bigGrin:
Norman Pittenger reminded us (can you believe this guy wrote 90 books?) of the role of the Holy Spirit in the intentions of God when He said, "The Spirit works in men not to destroy their human capacities and their God-given insight into truth, but to confirm and to strengthen, to enlighten and inform, to correct and enlarge those capacities and that insight." I do not believe it was the "intention" of God that we take the burden upon ourselves to "get people saved". Surely we need to be available to be used as whatever vessel God so chooses.
But, using the words of William Porcher DuBose (1836-1918) an American priest and theologian in the Protestant Episcopal Church, "We think that unless we can force our hearers to accept the precise language which seems to us, or which has seemed even to the church itself in it's official capacity, to be correct, then we have not really managed to "convert" them.
It's the Spirit! :bigGrin:
And, it's God operating IN Jesus, the Christ! God is seeking for others who can look "somewhat" like Jesus, the Christ who possessed His most intimate self-expression. And while I can't see us (you and I) ever attaining to the level Jesus did, it's God's intention that we at least give that an honest effort. I'm not saying we can't. I'm simply saying few even know that is what God's intention is in the first place.
The synoptic gospels particularly paint a picture of Jesus (the man) alive in human characteristics, deep in His Jewish historical culture, always praying to the Father and declaring Himself ignorant on the will of God in particular matters. He was a man among men (and women) as you and I; however, He became so much more, and encouraged us that we could do even better than He!
How? I have not a clue. But if Jesus said it, it must be the intention of God!
Let's give it a shot! :bigGrin:
Who is there that KNOWS the divine intention of God? Before starting this subject, I asked myself if the title wasn't in and of itself impossible. But we ALL have our own interpretations of that exact question, don't we? I think we can agree though that some theories or opinions are far more "probable" than others. Not everyone camps the same distance from the Spirit. Very foundationally, I think most could agree that the divine intention of God was to send the best model possible that would reveal His "intentions". Jesus, the Christ was that being.
I do not believe it was the intention of God though to so separate Jesus from us, by removing Him from the context of human history, as most of our Western Christology has done. Without taking away the divinity of the Christ, we can embrace the humanity of Jesus who lived in time and space, and had all the fullness of manhood that we (men and women) have. After all this is what so many of the Creeds profess- although the practice comes out of the theological wash looking much differently.
God has always been with us- in various forms and manners.
Evelyn Underhill put it this way, "It is only because men already had some knowledge of God, however mediated, that we were and are able to recognize Him when He manifests himself so supremely in Jesus". William Ralph Inge (1860 - 1954) an English author, Anglican prelate, and professor of divinity at Cambridge said, "The taking of manhood into God was from the first the intention with which the human race was created."
The Word is the Logos, which was with God, and never was without God
However the church has made the "the words" more important than the Spirit of the Word. This was never God's intention- to objectify that which is subjective- though real, and even more than real. Don't get lost here. We need to remember the Pauline admonishon that the law brings death, and only the Spirit brings life. So, we need to be careful not to be so enamored by the "words" that we miss the Word, and fall into a form of "verbal orthodoxy."
The most important question for we Christians is still, "What think ye of Christ"? Matthew 22:42
Among other things, I think Christ was the plan that would mirror the plan, model the plan, that God intentioned for all of, even while knowing, not many would accept the baton.
1-Jesus was fully human.
2-Christ was truly divine.
3-Jesus, the Christ is one person.
And to become fully human: is to become God-possessed- to enter into a super and natural relationship with the Godhead. Man was created for God and is therefore not complete until he comes to that realization. God's will is that man should become what in the divine intention He is: free, responsible, and responding to His love.
Let's bring this to a close with the more than obvious statement that whatever the intention of God IS, that's what WILL BE! Dr. W. R. Inge said that "A man is never so truly and intensely himself as when he is most possessed by God". That would be yet another description of Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus is God's ultimate and most complete self-expression of Himself. That said though, Jesus is Totus Dues (God through and through), but not Totum Dei (Everything that God is). God is the Creator of ALL.
It's God's intention that His creation and His creatures will all be restored to Him, which won't always come easy. It's God's intention that none should perish. It's God's intention that man be given as many chances as necessary to bow their knee. Bottom line is that nothing (nada, zip, zero) can alter God's intention(s)!
Why try? Just give it up and go with the divine flow. :bigGrin:
The whole world process is has been created and is sustained by God. Everything works because He wills it so. God is "other than" this world, but in it. He energizes the world, but stands apart, greater than it. God is expressing Himself in and through me as I write this, and in you as you read it.
God is love and if you can fully grasp what that means, you realize that His metaphorical arms are wrapped around the entire universe, and there is no creature anywhere that in UNLOVED by Him. Not one!
Baron von Hugel said, "There is so much more for man to learn about God's will and His ways, and the sources of this religious knowledge will continue to grow." How sad that so many Christians are done growing. If we could live a million life times, there would always be more to know about abba Father. Too many people have taken that "Seventh Day Rest" literally. God's always "at work", seeing that His intentions are fulfilled- His way.
God is not some abstraction, but a living Spirit who just IS (I am)!
His innermost nature is loving- a purposeful love that knows the very hairs on our head. He's at work 24/7 with a "Just-n-Time" ministry that we usually feel is really "too late" most of the time. He is not remote. The fields of life that He's given us is dependable ground for "seed time and harvest." Isn't it about time that we spent more time each day seeking what His will and INTENTIONS are for not just us, but for everyone we encounter?
Can you imagine how awesome life would be?

Soaps Boards :: Passions Forum :: Gwen, lt him grieve!
Please register and login to be able to post in this message board.
I agree with both of you. I also don't think johnathan is Gwen and Ethan's son. NO mother would put there childs life in danger like that. And can't wait for Therese to come back and spill all Gwen and Rebeccs secrets.
Quote MissAdia: Yeah well if someone came along and your husband was deeply in love with them and realized that he really didn't love you, would you stay with him? I wouldn't. I wouldn't want to be with a man who thinks about another woman all the time. I wouldn't want to be with a man who when he looks at me wishes I was a different woman. Gwen hasn't done anything? Um hello!? She let Juanita go and then tried to act all regretful about it later. I don't know why Pilar just doesn't tell the truth. She can be like "Well that's the truth and if Gwen sticks by her threats, then we will all die. When Juanita finds out where we live, you can blame Gwen because she has the info." And that would be that.
And no marriage isn't all about sex and ding dong (whatever you said. I hve to get a translator everytime you post) it's about love, trust, honor which Ethan doesn't have with Gwen. He doesn't love her, she can't trust him, and he doesn't honor her.
Can I add to yours questions? Would you marry someone when you know they love someone else. Gwen knew that Ethan loved Theresa and was getting ready to ask her to marry him (again)
Quote Teenie: Where was ethan as a husband? Yet some would say , sad and lonely.....let me tell you were gwen was at. Loving HER MAN, and you ask where was gwen heart was at?Gwen is a sparkle in this man life. He knows this.....That why the writers brought her back. Ethan knows....He will ALL WAYS need Gwen...She is his Baby.HA.....YEAHHHHHH,,Always his sparkle in his eyes!!And should I say it? He Loves Gwen....Ethan doesn't know what to do without his beautiful wife...Gwen RULES
When did Gwen leave and they bring her back????? If you are talking about last year, she was on pregnacy leave and was coming back anyway.
Gwen may "love her man" but she married a man knowing he was in love with someone else.
Quote tande4ever: How pathetic is it that she thinks she can't find another man to keep holding out false hope for a man who no longer wants her it really makes her look bad.And obviously she knows she can't find anyone or she would be trying,give it up,move on.And what about Jonathon where is he while she is running around Mexico?
I know that's right!!!!!!!
and "sorry" i did not ask for your approval ) Gwen is my gal!!!!
Teresa is THEE greediest person....and may I mention.....the neediest punk i have ever seen. She is a taker, and she likes to leave em as she find em. My Gwen said: BACK OFF HEIFER
To know a heart means this just to teenie: you care..yes you always care....and when or if some one asks you Y? tell the truth. Back to the subject.....Gwen will always be ok with me. She never screwed so many men like Teresa.
don't think any one can keep breaking some one's heart and get away with it. It's a thin line between love and hate...it might FOOL u one day. Passions know they did gwen, and my sheridan wrong at the end of the show.
