Teaching Sex: The Shaping of Adolescence in the 20th Century
by Jeffrey P. Moran
Harvard. 288 pp. $27.95
Sex and the middle-schooler? Apparently so, according to the New York Times. In certain circles, we learn from a recent article, seventh-graders are now casually engaging in oral sex; some are even having intercourse. Perhaps worse, these encounters among the barely pubescent tend to be as impersonal as ATM transactions. The "kids don't even look at each other," reports one psychologist, describing their practices as mere "body-part sex."
Fortunately, the experts consulted by the Times know precisely how to deal with such disturbing precocity: more sex education. And the earlier, the better. As Jeffrey P. Moran reminds us in Teaching Sex, this now virtually automatic response to the dilemmas of adolescent sexuality does not come out of nowhere. Rather, it is the culmination of a centuiy-long effort to bring scientific and medical expertise to bear on the world of youthful eros.
For Moran, a professor of history at the University of Kansas, this rationalistic project, whose various permutations over the decades he traces in useful (if sometimes tiresome) detail, has been misguided from the start. In that judgment, he is certainly right, though for entirely the wrong reasons.
Sex education got its beginning in America at the turn of the 20th century, largely in response to an epidemic of venereal disease in the country's burgeoning big cities. Led by Prince Morrow, a New York patrician and a doctor of genito-urinary diseases, a new breed of "social hygienists," as they called themselves, proposed a fresh approach to combating sexual license. Though in many respects as proper as Mrs. Grundy herself, these reformers rejected what they saw as the Victorian "conspiracy of silence." Believing that ignorance was the problem, they were convinced that, by using an "impersonal" scientific language to dispel the mystery and confusion surrounding sex, they could lead men and women down a moral path.
Within a generation, World War I had brought about a profound shift in sexual mores, a development symbolized by a letter from the French premier Georges Clemenceau encouraging the American government to let doughboys on leave avail themselves of Paris's famed prostitutes. Concerned by the open sexuality of the flapper generation, Congress created the venereal-disease division of the U.S. Public Health Service in 1918. For their part, sex educators, though still insisting that sex should take place strictly within the confines of marriage, began to speak a new, more modern language of personality, social adjustment, and sexual fulfillment.
The Depression and World War II forced sex educators to regroup once more. In response to the country's longing for a return to domestic stability and normalcy, they now invented something called Family Life Education. Though there was not much sex in this new model of sex education—an occasional film on venereal disease for boys, cautious descriptions of menstruation for girls—it did not, Moran emphasizes, mark a retreat to tradition. But it did do something else: during the 1950's, as he points out, Family Life Education "expanded the principle of public intervention," giving public-health experts still broader authority over sexual attitudes and encouraging parents to defer to these experts.
Then came the 60's. In a largely forgotten Pearl Harbor of the culture wars, the first modern sex-education curriculum was introduced in the schools of Anaheim, California. Though the program did not directly promote premarital sex, it provided seventh graders with detailed descriptions of sexual intercourse and briefed seniors on the particulars of birth control. Guidance from a teacher gave way to coeducational discussion groups, meant to encourage students "to question adult beliefs" and "to examine the reality of adult behavior." Although many parents were aghast, and the responsible officials were quickly ousted, the future had arrived.
In recent decades, Moran documents, sex educators have gone farther and farther in their determination to be "realistic rather than moralistic." This has meant accommodating not only increased sexual activity among teenagers but also new attitudes toward divorce, sex roles, and cohabitation. Public-health crises have also played a major role in expanding the reach and explicitness of sex education. Feminist and gay-rights activists, along with groups like Planned Parenthood and the Sex Information and Education Council of the United States, have seized upon the AIDS problem to argue, as a matter of life and death, for instructing students in everything from tolerance of homosexuality to the merits of masturbation.
True, not everyone has stood still for this. "Traditionalists"—a term that Moran applies to everyone from the John Birch Society to ordinary parents opposed to teaching eighth-graders how to put condoms on bananas—have succeeded in overturning a number of local curricula, and have even introduced their own alternatives, like the popular "Sex Respect" program. Moreover, their conservative allies on Capitol Hill have redirected federal funding so that it now favors "abstinence-only" programs. Supporters of what might be called the Anaheim model are therefore increasingly on the defensive, though the model itself is still commonplace enough.
What unites this long and rather varied history? In Moran's eyes, it is the unrelenting "instrumentalism" of sex educators—that is, their tendency across the decades to present sex education as nothing more than a tool for fighting disease, or as a form of public-health program. From turn-of-the-century "social hygienists" to the creators of "Sex Respect" who point to herpes and AIDS as primary reasons to avoid premarital intercourse, sex educators have always spoken the supposedly value-neutral language of science, attempting to tame the impulses of youth with appeals to enlightened self-interest.
The problem, as Moran at least partly recognizes, is that sex education cannot be separated from values, and that its proponents, despite their air of scientific detachment, inevitably give voice to the changing attitudes of American society. Even more damning, in light of its pretensions, there is little evidence that sex education has ever had much effect on actual sexual behavior, whether one considers contraceptive use or rates of intercourse and pregnancy.
Had Moran simply stopped at this point, his history would have performed a useful service. Sex education has been a flop, whether because of its supposed reliance on the mere "facts of life" or, more likely, because it merely serves as a handmaiden to social attitudes—attitudes that at least since the 60's have been increasingly latitudinarian. But in the spirit of Michel Foucault, the great postmodernist guru of sex, Moran feels the need to go farther, challenging the very idea that "adolescent sexuality" should be viewed as a "hazard" at all, let alone that it needs to be "regulated." As he sees it, the sheer maturity of today's young people—a point he establishes primarily by quoting several fourteen-year-olds who complain that their parents treat them like children—should lead us to question "whether 'adolescence' is still a useful category." What is needed, he suggests, is a new form of sex education, one that will jettison the faux-scientific and regulatory approach and frankly recognize "the diversity of desire in different ages and different places."
Would this entail giving a green light to the "body-part sex" of the thirteen-year-olds featured lately in the Times? Unfortunately, such increasingly common scenes do not figure in Moran's account—which may explain why his own prescriptions seem so utterly ungrounded in contemporary reality. For what such scenes make unmistakably clear is that the issue today is hardly the pervasive "regulation" of youthful sexuality but rather the opposite. Our adolescents live in a world in which families, religious organizations, and other institutions of civil society have largely ceded the job of shaping sexual mores to a marketdriven popular culture that is all too ready to treat the youngest of teens as "mature" adults—and to sex educators who are that culture's willing collaborators if not its advance scouts.
In short, just as Moran suggests, sex education is part of the problem rather than part of the solution. And so, in the end, is he.

The Millard Public Schools district in Omaha has refused to display a traveling tribute to Nebraska's fallen soldiers at its schools, citing security and logistical concerns.
Bill Williams and his wife, Evonne, launched the "Remembering Our Fallen" tribute in January 2011. It honors the servicemen and women with Nebraska ties who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The tribute has made weeklong visits to courthouses, libraries, hospitals and at least 10 schools. It's at Syracuse High School in southeast Nebraska this week.
But when the Williamses offered the tribute to the Millard district's three high schools, the principals said no.

I'll be going to both waterparks next week and I've never been before. I know I'll visit all of the big attractions but does anyone have any advice, warnings, tips, suggestions etc...
Thanks everyone,
I'll be going to both waterparks next week and I've never been before. I know I'll visit all of the big attractions but does anyone have any advice, warnings, tips, suggestions etc...
Thanks everyone,
I honestly can't think of any tips that would apply to the Disney water parks. Apart from theme, their activities are as ordinary as those found at any other water park anywhere. However, here is a helpful tip..or opinion: if you go to Blizzard Beach on a very sunny day, you MUST bring a good pair of sunglasses and suntan lotion, as the glare of the sun against the faux white snow intensifies the heat and lightling and will cause you to go blind and tan much faster than other parks.
Lots of sunscreen and apply it often - also, don't wear a good bathing suit. Those slides tear up the "seat" of your suit pretty badly.
Also, be sure to get a wrist photo pass early in the day - they're kinda fun to have.
Will trade husband for Disneyland and DCA Pins!
With BB, get there early, the lines build up quick and stay. If you are a resort guest check to see if they still have morning ERT. Anyways, heres how you need to attack the slides:
1. Getting there well before opening (1/2 hour at least) get your locker as quick as possible (if needed, if you can skip it thats fantastic) and make for the ski lift, ride (no use in climbing when there is such a short line)
2. Ride Summit Plummit
3. If the lines not long, grab the ski lift, if your party is ok riding single on the lift, use the single rider line, otherwise hoof it back up to the Summit, ride Slush Gusher.
4. Following the same advice as #3, ride Teamboat Springs
5. Grab the lazy river for a halfway trip to the other slope (not the tube slides on the back of the mountain, saves those for later)
6. Ride the Downhill Double Racer
7. Grab a mat and ride the mats on the left queue (cant remember the name, but its the straight down version, not the slalom ride)
8. Ride the Slalom Mat Slide
9. Walk back to those tube slides in the back of the mountain, ride the enclosed version
10. Ride the Open Version
11. Enjoy the river and the pool for as long as you want.

Watch out for all the pervs with their cameras, seriously.
On that note....
Ladies you may want to wear a 1 piece if doing Summit plummet, according to my wife when she was waiting for me to come down she saw a lot of girls loose their tops...
Guys You might want to hang out at the bottom in case any of them need help locating them...
Hi I'm Jerren and I'm a Disneyholic...
If you wear a hat, try not to lose it :-).
In all fairness ladies water slides + string bikini's = potential peep show. You have been warned... And yes Disney sells waterproof disposable cameras all over the place so no telling where the photo's may wind up... an no I'm not one of the "perv's with camera's"
Hi I'm Jerren and I'm a Disneyholic...
I think the best thing is get there at opening. We went to both waterparks the same week you are going this year, last year. We got there at opening and were able to do so much without lines in the AM. Have Fun!!!
i've never been to typhoon lagoon. definitely check out summit plummit.

Get the refill mug.
Oh and if you're at Typhoon Lagoon, I'd make your way to where Crush n Gusher is and set up camp there instead of the main pool area. Much more lush.

(Bethlehem, Pennsylvania)- The Rev. Dr. James Alexander Forbes Jr., described as one of the finest preachers in the English-speaking world, will be featured speaker at the Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration at Moravian College. Moravian's observance of the national holiday in honor of the great civil rights leader begins at 8:00 p.m., Thursday, January 17, in Johnston Hall on the Moravian campus. After the program, which also includes readings and inspirational music, the evening will end with a candlelight vigil at the Peace Pole on campus (Locust and Monocacy streets) at approximately 10:00 p.m. The public is invited to attend and admission is free. For more information, call 610-625-7880.
The MLK Voices of Inspiration choir, under the direction of Mark Andrew Miller, will perform two works for the program: "Gabi Gabi," a South African song of justice, and "God Is Able," written by Miller to a text by King. Trish Glazebrook, visiting assistant professor of philosophy, will accompany "Gabi Gabi" on her South African drum. Miller is music director for Moravian's branch of Church Without Walls and Drew [Univ.]Theological School in New Jersey.
Forbes is senior minister of New York's Riverside Church, an interdenominational, interracial, international house of worship built by John D. Rockefeller Jr. in 1927. It serves more than 2,400 members representing 40 denominations with its worship services and outreach missions. An ordained Baptist minister and a distinguished pastor, Forbes has served on the faculty of Union Theological Seminary, where he has been the Brown and Sockman Associate Professor of Preaching (1976-85), the first Joe R. Engle Professor of Preaching (1985-89) and the first Harry Emerson Fosdick Adjunct Professor of Preaching in 1989, when he accepted the pastorate at Riverside. He also teaches at Auburn Theological Seminary in New York.
Praised for his inspirational preaching, Forbes was designated one of America's greatest black preachers by Ebony magazine in 1984 and 1993. In 1995, he was named in a well-known survey by Baylor University in Texas as one of the 12 "remarkable and most effective preachers in the English-speaking world" -- an honor confirmed by Newsweek magazine in its March 4, 1996 issue.
Forbes is a well-known preacher and lecturer in the United States and abroad. In 1986, he gave the Lyman Beecher Lecture at Yale University; his address is included in The Holy Spirit and Preaching (Abingdon Press, 1989). In 1995, his "Healing the Spirit of America" was edited from his Davison Lecture at Warren Wilson College. In 1998, he was the inaugural Luce Lecturer at Harvard Divinity School, where he explored the theme of urban ministry. Also in 1998, in addition to participating in the Department of Justice Round Table on Youth Violence at the White House, he delivered the keynote address at President Clinton's Initiative on Race meeting in New Orleans.
Since 1992, Dr. Forbes has been co-chair of A Partnership of Faith, an interfaith organization of clergy among New York's Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, and Muslim communities. He is a consultant to the Congress of National Black Churches and past president of the Martin Luther King Fellows. His sermons are aired weekly on WLTW 106.7 FM in New York.
Born in 1935 in Burgaw, N.C., Dr. Forbes earned his Doctor of Ministry degree from Colgate-Rochester Divinity School in Rochester, N.Y.; a Master of Divinity degree from Union Theological Seminary; and a Bachelor of Science in chemistry from Howard University in Washington, D.C. He also holds a certificate in clinical pastoral education from the Medical College of Virginia.

Bela Lugosi for coroner. Could there be a better fit between a man and a job?
What about Batman for sheriff? Tough on crime, and he outfits the department with those marvelous crime-fighting gadgets at no cost to the taxpayers.
Sadly, one is dead (and not actually a vampire) and the other fictional.
Both got votes in last Tuesdays election, though.
And as a matter of record, Batman was actually outpolled by Barney Fife, 2-1.
The three men and hundreds of others got write-in votes from voters who somehow couldnt bring themselves to vote for any of the options presented, as a quick look at the electronic write-in votes revealed.
Some of the electronic write-ins were serious. Mike Turner, who lost in the primary to Sheriff L.C. Knight, got 172 write-in votes, still far fewer than the 41,074 votes that Knight, the only candidate on the ballot, received.
Outgoing Sen. Mike Rose, who lost in the primary to Sean Bennett, got 83 electronic write-in votes, along with a few write-ins for state representative and soil and water commission.
Some votes were perhaps the result of wishful thinking, or maybe confusion over jurisdiction Todd Garrett, who ran for a seat on Charlestons school board, got seven votes for Dorchesters board, and Charleston County Sheriff Al Cannon got three write-ins here.
The ever popular anyone but got votes for several offices, as did none, nobody and no one.
A quick skim of the results indicates people are more likely to write in a vote when they have only one choice on the ballot.
Only a handful of people chose to write in a name in the Senate 41 race, where Paul Thurmond and Paul Tinkler were competing for the seat, and few wrote in for the House 97 race between Rep. Patsy Knight and Ed Carter, though two stalwarts wrote in their support for Jordan Bryngelson, who lost in the primary to Carter, and one confused soul wrote in a vote for Knight.
Given but one choice, though, an obstinate streak shows through. Some voters cant mark the name on the ballot, but they just cant skip over it, either.
Thus, Mickey Mouse gets 20 votes for solicitor. Your momma gets one vote. (Sorry, my momma doesnt live in the circuit).
Lex Luthor, Supermans wealthy archenemy, gets one vote for treasurer, as does Scrooge McDuck.
Oberon, King of Fairies, gets a vote for probate judge; given his capricious and spiteful behavior, its probably for the best he didnt win. The Count got a vote for register of deeds but really, given his talents, wouldnt he have been better suited for treasurer? Maybe next time.

design. Multi-functional TPS and multi-layer insulation (MLI) systems that combine thermal, structural, micrometeoroid and orbital debris (MMOD), and crew radiation protection could provide significant weight savings and enable long-duration missions, and can also be used for planetary habitat thermal and multifunctional protection. This challenge is also ranked third by TA12.
5. Verification and Validation: Develop, verify, validate, and quantify uncertainty analysis requirements for new or improved comprehensive computer codes for thermal analysis.
Upgrades to predictive codes for ablation during re-entry heating are needed to include closely coupled multiphase ablation and radiative heating into the flow simulations, with careful attention given to verification, validation, and uncertainty quantification. All thermal analysis codes should include (1) verification that the codes have no internal errors, and accurately code the equations used for modeling and analysis; (2) predictions validating against all available experimental data, accounting for experimental error bands; and (3) quantifying the confidence in code predictions, accounting for uncertainties in the data used as model input, uncertainties in the mathematical models used in the analysis, and uncertainties caused by the numerical technique that is implemented (e.g., discretization errors in time and space). Without these attributes, the results generated by the codes are unreliable for design. This challenge is also addressed by TA10 and TA12.
6. Repair Capability: Develop in-space Thermal Protection System (TPS) repair capability.
Repair capability is especially important for long-duration missions, where no safe-haven repair facilities will be available. TPS repair developed for Space Shuttle Orbiter TPS (reinforced carbon-carbon/tiles) should be continued and expanded to provide a repair method for future spacecraft, both NASA and commercial.
7. Thermal Sensors. Enhance thermal sensor systems and measurement technologies.
Operational instrumentation is necessary to understand anomalies, material or performance degradation and performance enhancements, as well as for advanced science mission measurements. Ultra-lightweight sensor systems may provide data needed to identify on-orbit damage, measurement of liquid levels in a microgravity environment, in situ or self-repairing mechanisms, or adaptive control algorithms that can compensate for damage without repairing. Accurate instrumentation to monitor reentry TPS performance is necessary to validate emerging predictive codes for heat shield design. Each of these would improve flight safety and the probability of mission success.
The averaged quality function deployment (QFD) matrix for the nine level 3 technologies in TA14 is given in Figure Q.1.
The weighted scores for all level 3 technologies evaluated with the QFD approach are listed in Figure Q.2. 14.3.1 Ascent/Entry TPS received a much higher score than all other level 3 technologies, creating an obvious break point in assigning the high rating. 14.1.2 Active Thermal Control is a needed technology to support zero boil off of cryogenic fluids. Though 14.1.2 Active Thermal Control did not achieve the high rating of 14.3.1 Ascent/Entry TPS, it is considered an enabling technology for a wide variety of long-duration missions, and was thus also assigned high priority. These two technologies are therefore discussed at length. The other seven technologies were rated as "Medium" or "Low."
In Figure Q.3, the technologies are listed in descending priority on the vertical columns, and the challenges are shown in the horizontal top row. The correlation between the two is indicated by high correlation (solid symbols), weak correlation (open symbols) or little or no correlation (no symbols). It is seen that the challenges correlate to

Chuck Landon: Rice staff had plan to defeat Marshall
HOUSTON -- Marshall got out-smarted.
That wouldn't have been any surprise if MU had faced off against Rice in the GE College Bowl or Jeopardy.
But, on the football field?
Yet, that's precisely what happened during Rice's intellectual 41-24 victory over Marshall in the Conference USA championship game Saturday before an announced crowd of 20,247 that appeared to need the comma moved one spot to the left.
It didn't take a high IQ to deduce the crowd was much closer to 2,000 than 20,000. Nor did it take a great intellect to realize the Herd got out-smarted in this defeat.
Imagine Dana Holgorsen coaching against Albert Einstein.
It was nearly that lopsided.
Remember how completely Marshall's Doc Holliday and his staff out-coached East Carolina on Nov. 29? Well, the situation got reversed against the Owls.
Rice's David Bailiff and his staff were at least one or two plays ahead of Marshall the entire game.
It showed on Rice's first possession when backup running back Luke Turner tossed a 35-yard touchdown pass on a halfback option to a wideout that was 10 yards behind Marshall's secondary.
It shouldn't have been.
Turner already was 1-for-2 passing this season, including a 57-yard touchdown pass against Houston. That was his third career TD pass and Turner added a fourth in the third quarter on a jump pass, a la Tim Tebow.
"We saw their 'Wildcat' and had a package for that," said Holliday, during a post-game press conference. "It wasn't something that we hadn't seen."
Then, why did Marshall's defenders act so surprised?
Next, there were Rice's sophisticated pass coverages. Obviously, Marshall's Rakeem Cato was one very confused quarterback.
"The routes we ran," said Cato, "weren't open against their coverages."
Then, there was the matchup of Marshall's 5-foot-9 Corey Tindal on Rice's 6-5, 210-pound Jordan Taylor. Besides burning Marshall's over-matched and under-sized nickelback for a 75-yard touchdown reception, Rice's slot receiver posted a game-high six catches for 131 yards.
That's because Marshall never adjusted that matchup.
How about the Herd's "Radar" defense? Rice quarterback Taylor McHargue was so ready for that gimmick, he shredded it on a 22-yard scramble to convert a third-and-seven situation.
And on and on it went.
Rice passed when Marshall expected a run and vice-versa for the entire game. That's why the Owls' offense averaged a whopping 7.4 yards per play.
"We thought they would come out running," said defensive tackle James Rouse. "But they went to the pass. It was surprising."
What wasn't?
Marshall was surprised across the board Saturday.
For some reason, nationally ranked punt returner Devon Smith returned only one of Rice's six punts. Instead, Marshall allowed the last three punts of the first half to roll dead at its own eight, seven and eight yard lines.
And what about Marshall not going for two-point conversions on its last two touchdowns despite trailing by 16 points on both occasions? Or not using an onside kick when a penalty allowed MU to kickoff from the 50-yard line?
Both decisions were mind-boggling.
Want to know how the Herd managed to play its way out of a festive Liberty Bowl appearance and into a frigid Military Bowl bid?

"But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all." (vs8-11)
Christ is EVERYTHING to us. He is more than a theory; we elevate Him with our deeds, not only singing His praises, but we also live to glorify Him with obedience. He is everything to the church, everything in the bible, and He is everything in our new life and war against sin. Christ reveals Himself as our sanctifier, so we live obediently as partakers of His power. We were fornicators and liars, but now we speak the truth, reserve ourselves for marriage, and we live by His rules. We read, "Therefore put to death your members which are on the eart: fornication, uncleanness, evil passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them".
The gospel doesn't distinguish between rich and poor, Jew and Greek, or cultured and unsophisticated. The only distinction is holiness. God's given us new life to spare us the wrath to come. He forgave us and changed our inward compass. Christ died for us, and now we live for Him.
We thank Him by our actions (vs12-17). We read, "Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do… and whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him". We are GRATEFUL people, recounting mercies continually, and we are liberated by the Redeemer's grace, humbled with freedom. We are elect, which means that God chose us before we chose Him (John 15:16). He loved us and made us His children, freely, without a cause in us. Therefore, since He forgives and we are complete in the Son, we see no reason to harbor grudges against others. He says, "But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful". We forgive, not to earn points in heaven, but to thank God and do as He commands. We look to Christ, not only as our acceptance with God, but also to walk acceptably to Him. We treat others in constant remembrance of our salvation, dwelling on the gospel internally. He says, "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and humns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord".
We live by the gospel. We are not mere hearers of the word, but we respond submissively. We are real believers who see Christ worthy of imitation, and we TRUST Him with our behavior. God's goodness is the goal we imitate in our treatment of others.
Our heavenly Father determines our earthly conduct (Col 3:18-4:1). We are under orders. We read, "Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them. Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eye service, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality. Masters, give your bondservants what is just and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven." Wives submit, husbands love, and children obey. The employee works for God, not the boss, and the boss rules the employee with his eye on God in heaven. We are not people who say, "Thank You for saving me", and then forget to live like it. We have a Master in heaven ruling us, not with "touch not, taste not" religion, but real holiness. We are infatuated with Christ, right down to how we live. He is the goal of our behavior, the focus of our mind, and the Master that we follow willingly. We've seen our completeness in Him, and it lives to devotion and obedience. This is the believer's life! Christ is all.

CNBLUE leader Jung Yong Hwa, who recently made a comeback with his group's second mini-album Bluelove, revealed his affectionate feelings for make-believe wife, SNSD's Seohyun. The Jung Yong Hwa and Seohyun couple is receiving a lot of love from fans through their appearance on MBC variety show We Got Married. During a recent interview for TV Daily, the CNBLUE leader told reporters, "Seohyun is close to my ideal type." To the question asking what he thought Seohyun's charm was, Jung Yong Hwa honestly answered, "Her point of calmly looking out for others, her personality of when worrying, truly worrying about others is close to my ideal girl type." The singer stated that he is receiving a lot of influence from Seohyun, a SNSD member who receives a lot of love from the audience as a girl idol with a bright and honest living image. Jung Yong Hwa stated, "On the contrary, both of us have similar personalities so we care for each other a lot. Thanks to Seohyun, I started reading more and began to think twice about my actions and behavior." SNSD's Hyoyeon also revealed, "After Seohyun comes back from We Got Married filming, she really looks like she's in love and dating." To this, CNBLUE members were also asked if there were any changed in their leader after he started filming We Got Married. After thinking for a brief moment, the members agreed that Jung Yong Hwa became much brighter after the show. It's so cute how the two care for each other so much. To be honest, I'm rooting for the Jung Yong Hwa and Seohyun couple to become a reality! Hey, a girl can always dream...

Stock futures are heading lower with disquieting data from China overshadowing hopes that the Fed will announce new stimulus measures to revive the U.S. economy when it meets later this week.
Dow Jones industrial futures are down 20 points to 13,276. The broader S&P futures have given up 2.6 points to 1,435.60. Nasdaq futures are down 5 points to 2,818.
China's auto sales growth slowed to 3.7 percent in August, according to a report Monday from the government-authorized industry group, the China Association of Auto Manufacturers. It's more evidence of a pronounced economic cooling.
Imports also shrank unexpectedly for the world's second-largest economy and the Chinese president warned growth could slow further.
The monetary policymaking body of the U.S. Federal Reserve meets starting Wednesday.

Slide was the first track I heard Luna play live and, like so many tracks on Lunapark, it gives me a strange feeling of nostalgia in a way that none of the subsequent Luna albums do – I'm almost tempted to say that it sounds "dated" or "of it's time" but that might give the impression that I don't think it's as good as what followed which is plainly wrong…it might even suggest that it somehow slotted into where indie guitar music was at the time which is also nonsense. I guess it must be because it was written and recorded before Luna found their feet. I think Bewitched is the album that clearly defined Luna and the direction they were headed.
This is from Luna's only Peel Session, recorded at Maida Vale on the 1st March 1992 while the band were in London playing "Slide" to me for the first time. It was first broadcast on the John Peel show on the 24th April 1992.

All of our officers are equipped for efficient response to any community needs.
The Kuyper Campus Safety Department works with the college to promote Christ Centered safety and service. Through education, information, solid public relations-relationships, and enforcement as a final resolve, Campus Safety promotes a campus wide environment of friendly compassionate, caring and courteous service to all. Dedicated to operate in a proactive rather than a reactive manor, the Campus Safety Department is continually researching new and best practices to deliver service to the community. Additionally, the department recognizes that every issue, large or small, is important to someone or something and requires thorough and complete follow up. Finally, Campus Safety aims to respond to needs as soon as possible with a caring mind set and a kind heart.
The Department of Campus Safety is always pleased to accept applications from quality students. Our student employees have excelled in and out of the classroom and beyond Kuyper.

Here's a video of a drunk guy getting arrested and singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" in its entirety while in the back of a cop car. It's already all over the 'netz (it's on the front page of AskJeeves.com right now), but it's internet must-see-tv, so here it is.
I'd just like to point out – if any of you did not have the privilege of attending a large state school as I did, this is what it felt like to ride the on-campus bus on weekends after 11 pm (with some Journey sandwiched in).
Move over, "Somebody To Love" Guy, cause Freddie Mercury's spirit has found a new drunken body to inhabit:
Sidenote: Did he technically just confess to a murder? Ya should've picked a less incriminating song, dude. Perhaps Another One Bites The Dust?

Replay of This Morning's '5:20 Funnies'
In case you missed it, here was the funny from this morning.
In case you missed it, here was the funny from this morning.
We could all use a good laugh early on a Friday morning. That's why we bring you a special edition of the 5:20 Funnies as we get you pumped for the weekend.
Since I don't do a very good Cajun accent I decided I would follow Mark Twain's advice and "talk about what I know". Here are 3 wonderful jokes that make light of Ole Miss a school where young men and women enter and come out as crybabies. GO DAWGS!
Fridays are a bit more special at 5:20am on 97.3 The Dawg because you not only get to laugh at a joke, but you get to laugh at me. Yep, I can't tell a joke to save my life. (That's why I usually just read one.)
In case you missed this morning's edition of the 5:20 Funnies, here it is (because it's worth repeating):
Here's a re-tell of this morning's 5:20 Funnies.
Laugh and laugh hard. Then, go ahead and feel bad for laughing, it's OK.
Here's the joke I shared with you all this morning for the Friday morning edition of the 5:20 Funnies. (Don't try this at your local bar, cuz!)
Get ready to cringe, this could be the worst knock knock joke you will ever hear.
Every morning on the Bruce & the Kennel Club show we try to start your day with a smile. The first teeth-revealing experience usually comes during our 5:20 Funnies segment.

The Church
Mosaic is a group of urbanites with a longing to embody Christ-centered community in the midst of the Fenway neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. Our hope is that we become a movement of expanding communities that serve Boston and the world as gospel renewal-agents in personal spirituality, relationships, the arts, and urban healing.
The Pastor
Jan, pronounced "yahn," (as in "never beyond grace") moved to Boston in July, 2009 with his little ladies to tell people about Jesus and gather people into a community of faith called a church. Jan was born in Estonia, but grew up in the great state of Rhode Island. He graduated with a triple major in International Relations, Business Economics, and Slavic Studies from Brown University, in Providence, RI. After working for the federal government as a Russian Analyst, Jan devoted several years to studying theology and the Scriptures. In May 2009, he graduated from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary with a Masters of Divinity degree, focusing in Advanced Biblical studies. While in the area, Jan and his wife Tanya were members of First Baptist Church, Durham.
Along with serving as pastor at Mosaic Boston, Jan is also pastoring/planting a Russian church in Allston: Grace Church Boston.
Most importantly, however, Jan loves Jesus, his beautiful wife Tanya, and their chunky baby girls Sophia and Elizabeth.

After the Nationals signed Edwin Jackson, rumors involving John Lannan surfaced immediately. Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe reported speculation that Lannan would be shipped to the Angels in a deal for Peter Bourjos. This deal would open up center field for mega-prospect Mike Trout.
A quick look at a few numbers tells you that this deal would be tremendously lopsided. The Halos would get an expensive fifth starter for a couple years and the Nationals would get a premier defensive center fielder for five years. Unfortunately for Nationals GM Mike Rizzo, Tony Reagins is no longer in charge of the Angels.
In recent years we've seen players with a ton of time left until free agency shipped out for huge prospect returns. Mat Latos and Ubaldo Jimenez both brought back huge returns, so what might a player like Bourjos warrant? How rare is a top-of-the-rotation arm compared to a brilliant defense centerfielder with some bat?
For the purposes of this article I'm going to consider a "top-of-the-rotation arm" any pitcher who could be the best pitcher on a good pitching staff. I looked at the rosters of every team and determined that there are 35 pitchers that fit the bill. My list is totally subjective and you can contact me if you'd like to see it.
Elite defensive centerfielders are incredibly rare. Based on 2011 metrics, I consider only six players worthy of the term "elite." These players are: Bourjos, Jacoby Ellsbury, Austin Jackson, Chris Young, Cameron Maybin, and Ben Revere. So among the 30 openings in center field, only six spots are held by elite defenders. Among the 150 starting pitcher roles, 35 are held by elite pitchers.
The scarcity of elite defense in center field doesn't make it as valuable as elite starting pitching, but it is essential to a player's value. Think about it for a second. Center field takes up a huge chunk of the field and elite defenders cover the most ground there, preventing hits and, thus, preventing runs. It's easy to see how preventing runs can lead to wins.
In addition to his defense, Bourjos has value on offense. The 24-year-old posted a .271/.327/.438 slash line in 2011. There may be some concern of regression because of his high BABIP (.338), but Bourjos posted very high BABIPs throughout his time in the minor leagues. Some players always have high BABIPs and I wouldn't be surprised if Bourjos were one of them.
Most players peak in their late 20s into their early 30s. Bourjos will be 25 when the season begins and should play out his prime before he sniffs free agency. When you look at his complete body of work in 2011 it's kind of scary to think that his best days are ahead of him.
When we put all of these things together we can conclude that Bourjos is a rare commodity. People in and around the game think Mike Trout can be even better. So if the idea is to move Bourjos to open up center field for Trout, then what would be a fair return for Bourjos?
One relatively comparable player is Colby Rasmus. Rasmus had been okay in center and done much more with his bat when he was traded, but his stock was low because he was in the midst of a down year and the Cardinals were apparently desperate to ship him out of town. Even so, the Cardinals nabbed a #3 starter, a late-inning reliever, a middle reliever, and a bench bat for Rasmus and a few fringy relievers. Almost no one liked the deal for the Cardinals, so the Angels would presumably get a lot more in a deal for Bourjos.
There aren't a ton of teams that look like logical destinations for Bourjos, so the market for his services could be a bit thin right now. Down the line, however, Bourjos could be the key to bringing in an elite prospect or a key big leaguer to help the Halos get over the hump.

HCC/Wentland Sports Complex Parking Issues - Wednesday, June 24, 2015
Dear HCC Parents,
This is the first summer for playing summerball at the HCC/Wentland Sports Complex since we built the Hand-n-Hand Child Care Center. We knew that there would be time required for adjustment to the new building and lot. To help with congestion, we chose to start games on the t-ball and coach pitch diamonds at 6:15 pm. As most coaches have their teams arrive 1/2 hour prior to the game, this would allow time for families and staff to leave the child care facility which closes at 5:45. If you arrive prior to 5:45 we ask you to NOT park directly in front of the building so parents can safely load their infants and toddlers into their vehicles. There is also no parking on the sidewalks or anywhere that isn't marked as a parking space.
Unfortunately, we have experienced difficulty with some families choice of parking "spaces". Parking on the grass is not allowed as there are sprinkler heads there (many of which were damaged from Opening Day). We do want all parents to know that on Torque Dr, just north of the Complex, there are 5 grass/gravel lots to use. There is a paved lot at the end of Torque. There are over 400 parking spots between the front, side, and back lots. Finally, many of our families who play on diamonds 12-15 park at the high school and walk over on the walking path.
HCC's philosophy has always been a family-oriented, positive, recreation program for children to experience the fun of sport. For all of those parents, coaches, and volunteers who model this for our children, thank you. Unfortunately there are always a few who do not. Yesterday an 80+ year old volunteer and I were directing traffic in our front lot and informing parents where to park once the lot was full. We were yelled at, sworn at, called names, and treated very disrespectfully. One mom who had been told the lot was full, swerved and accelerated her car at our senior volunteer, nearly hitting him. While I do understand that parents have many stresses placed on them and often times are running late, this is unacceptable.
Again, we know that the majority of our parents and families are supportive of our philosophy and appreciate all you do for our community. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The bra holds your bust well and looks super cute (semi-see thru but doesn't matter if you don't wear a see-thru shirt) You can also wear a strapless bra if you wanted to underneath, which I usually d,o but it's unnecessary. Light weight, true to size I'm a 36 B and size 29/30 pants and I got a size small in the halter bra and medium in the underwear. 3.28.2011

This will change your life if you let it
25 May 2015 - 10 Jul 2015
When I took this tour I had never travelled alone before and had never been to Europe. While on this tour I saw some of the worlds most amazing sights spanning from the Eiffel Tower in Paris all the way to the Blue Mosque in Istanbul. This really was a trip of a lifetime and I will never forget the people and places I met on this adventure. The night life is amazing. I think I went out almost every night and partied my @## off. Get ready to drink because you will never slow down. If you are debating on if the trip is worth your time or money, just book it already. Thats what I did and this trip has been the best decision I have ever made.

The Big Chill... AKA The Big Chug
26 May 2014 - 11 Jul 2014
The Big Chill was easily the best thing I have ever done in my life. You get to see so many great places on this tour. Some people may look at this and see that you only get to spend a small amount of time in each place. This is true, but the tour was organized so well by our tour manager that we were always given enough time to see the top highlights of each place and the magnificence of each city. I have made life long friends and am closer to the majority of people I met on tour than I am with my friends back home. The me time optionals are a must and add so much to the trip. This trip is a life changer and you get to experience it with so many great people.
Our tour manager Grant Feddo was absolutely amazing. He went above and beyond what any tour manager could of done. His knowledge and history of each place was very good and it made the sites that much more meaningful. He gave us extra little walking tours around the city if there were enough people interested in seeing some additional sites. He took the time to look up extra activities that some of the group wanted to do and organize special outings for us. He is an absolute legend and if I ever do another Contiki again I will be asking to see what tour he is working on to try and meet up with him again.
Our coach driver James Barton was amazing. I have never met anyone in my life who could maneuver a vehicle so good and for him to do it with a bus was impressive. Jim was always on top of his hours and had every detail worked out to give us the absolute most time at each place. He made special pick ups for us at certain locations and even talked to a boarder agent and found out about a really cool cathedral to take us too. He had enough time to take us there and it was definitely worth while. He kept the bus super clean and his driving always made us feel safe. He was super fun to have around when he had his free days. I would love to be able to do another tour with him as well.
Our on tour cook, Kayla Fleming, was amazing. The meals that she was able to prepare out of a tent went far above anything I had expected for tour. It was like eating at a 5 star restaurant each meal. She went above and beyond what she needed to do. She spent so much time preparing and making sure that what she was cooking would satisfy all of the people on tour. We had some people with dietary restrictions on tour and she made sure they always had something else to eat if they weren't able to eat the main dish.
The only way I could summarize this tour is by saying that it was the best time of my life. I feel like that doesn't even do it justice. I met so many amazing people and seen so many magnificent places that I wish it never had to end. I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to do the tour with or a better contiki staff. If I am to do another contiki tour I would hope that I am fortunate to come across either Grant, Jim, or Kayla on my journeys because they made the tour so much better. I would recommend this tour to anybody and the best thing I can say about this tour is it was THE BIG CHILL!

This tour was absolutely amazing, had the best on road team that made the experience even better. made some amazing friends that i don't think i would have made if it wasn't a camping tour. Food was absolutely amazing, thank you Laura. Lucas gave us some amazing tips on where to go, and Ian was an amazing driver. If you can't do this tour, you have to at least make it to dubrovnik somehow, most amazing place ever!

Most amazing experience EVER!!!
09 Jul 2013 - 23 Aug 2013
I would have to say the big chill tour was the most amazing thing I have ever done! The people I got experience it with were fantastic. Our coach driver Ricardo our tour manager Trent and our on road cook Boyd were the absolute best team a 40 something group could ask for.
I would recommend this tour to anyone! I have to admit I was unlucky in getting very sick with bronchitis through half of it but I did not let it get me down. I still had the most amazing time!
If you are hesitating. DONT!!! It's awesome. Turkey was awesome. Didn't. Like Albania or places like it but still a great experience. Wouldn't change it for the world.
Have fun guys if u decide to go.

The Big Chill:
Contiki Europe 2012.
I must say first off that this tour is a kick ass tour that really showcases what both Europe and Contiki offers young travellers. The Big Chill is made up of the Southern Trail and the Northern Trek so half way through you loose some of your new mates but meet a bunch of new peeps to share the rest of the tour with. If you want to see to whole of Europe, are ready to party and learn all about Europe's history then The Big Chill is a must.
This tour see's you visit so many of the major bucket list items and tourist hot spots and a few of the out of the way surprises that you just fall in love with. You stay at campsites in tents, there are a few options throughout the tour to upgrade to rooms as well as a few spots where you stay in Hotels anyway. Staying in tents actually works really well and is at the heart of Contiki travel, this is how it all started. I felt that while we were staying in tents and we had some spare time around the campground, our tour was much more social then if where in hostels or hotels. You do not hang out in the tent and find yourself chilling out with a beer just chatting.
After the epic 46 day tour we had grown so close to our group and constantly stay in touch with many people. Travelling with a group for 46 days and through 20 countries means that you really build a great bond to your fellow Contiki crew. The on-tour cook was brilliant and it was amazing what Vee could produce at a campground. Our tour manager was brilliant and well versed on European history. A special mention must be made to our coach driver Rado, who had some serious skills, it was amazing where he could put the coach.
Definitely consider The Big Chill you will not regret it, I had so much fun and met so many amazing people.

Simply Amazing
16 Apr 2013 - 31 May 2013
This was the most amazing time of my life! Saw all the major sites in the big cities, had some beautiful relaxing days in Corfu and Dubrovnik, learnt so much, was surprised by some of the cities I knew little about. Camping really wasn't that bad, in fact it helped our group to bond that little bit more. Our road crew was simply amazing, best manager, best driver and best cook! I loved hanging out at the Contiki Campsites, Rome was a highlight with the Whiteboard party. Ate so much amazing food I cannot even comprehend. I will never ever forget the friends I made, la familia for life! If you're looking for a tour that does everything, leaves nothing out and has the most amazing environment, I recommend the Big Chill 100%

best thing i ever did
08 May 2012 - 22 Jun 2012
the big chill was the greatest experience of my life. For someone that has never camped in my life it was the most fun i have ever had. Although at first it was shock, i recomend arriving in london a couple days before the tour starts otherwise the jetlag will kill you.
I was lucky enough to have the best tour manager, he always gave us a history of the place we were going to do, organised activities, pub crawls ect, and made sure we were all having a great time!
This tour is great for those wanting to see all of europe but not sure how to go about it, its also awesome if you are travelling alone as youll meet so many amazing people from all over the world who end up becoming part of your new family!!
im even considering doing it all over again!

I finished my 46 day camping tour of Europe on the 12th August 11!
I had such an amazing time and cannot think of one bad thing to say. Everything was an experience no matter what it was....(even ending up in hospital with a dislocated knee, and doing it in a Florence night club)!!!!!
I went on my own and I think it was the best thing I could have done. I got to meet a awesome bunch of people that I got to have new experiences with. I have made friends for life and am planning on seeing some of them again soon.
I had never really been camping for a long period of time before so I was a little nervous about what it would be like for 46days. I ended up loving it and finding that everyone got to hang with everyone most of the time and our group got really close to each other. It was also nice to go to a chilled out campsite in a awesome location at the end of a busy day in the citys and most of the time by the beach, lake of within nature but close enough to the city that you could get a cab home at night and it didnt cost a fortune.
Also having a on road cook was AMAZING!!! We ate so well every morning and evening, always freshly prepared meals that were so tasty.
Our tour manager Mia Potter was the cooliest, down to earth chick I have ever meet. I felt so lucky to have such an amazing tour manager with us for our tour! She was always bright eyed and ready to go every morning no matter what the day or what we had all been up doing the night before. It was great having someone so passionate about showing people the different places of Europe and everything it has to offer. We all felt so privilleged to have her with us.
I saw the most amazing places and had the experience of my life and it wouldnt have been possible without CONTIKI!!!!
So to anyone considering travelling with a tour I would recommed Contiki over anyone else, if you are going at it alone, with a friend or as a couple I will promise you that you will have the time of your life!!!

This trip was incredibly awesome. I think you need to be a particular kind of person to handle camping for 46 days and I think this is the reason why everyone got a long so well, with no stupid drama, and are still in touch after the trip. I won't lie that when it rains it can make things pretty miserable and mucky but it doesn't matter when you think about the entire trip and how awesome it is. Out east I think was everyones most memorable moments - it's crazy out there and bloody interesting. I miss being on it and I miss everyone xxx

The strong shift of NHLers towards Europe continues. The latest player to make a move is the Montreal Canadiens' own Max Pacioretty, who has recently joined HC Ambri-Piotta according to The Fourth Period. RDS also confirms the news on their site.
Elsewhere, the Swedish Elite League was compelled to allow NHL players join its league by Anti-Trust authorities there.
As such, some players have begun making the move to the Scandinavian nation as well.

Comments about Womens OluKai Kumu Sandals Shoe:
During the warm months all i wear are flip flops. i was so excited to finally find a pair that would last more than a month with daily wear and be this comfortable. This is my second pair (only b/c my dog chewed up the first pair).
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
