The Wax Adam: Historical, Biographical, Archetypal, or Literary?
The history of interpretation of Adam from Genesis to the 1st Century reveals a bold and astonishing diversity in which the authors made of Adam what they needed of Adam.
"Natural" and "Supernatural" are Modern Categories, Not Biblical Ones
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.

In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
From the Archives: Creation, Evolution, and Christian Laypeople, Part 1
From 2012: Many secular and many evangelical voices agree on one 'truism'—that if you are an orthodox Christian with a high view of the authority of the Bible, you cannot believe in evolution in any form at all. New Atheist authors such as Richard Dawkins and creationist writers such as Ken Ham seem to have arrived at consensus on this.

New Creation: The Hermeneutic of Love
For Augustine, the literal sense of scripture is not a scientific narrative of physical reality, but a liturgical and poetic narrative of God's awesome power at the dawn of history. This is a vital thread in the story of how to read Genesis.

Christ, Trinity, and Creation, Part 2
Christ is the reason the natural sciences work: he is the source of the laws of nature, and he contains and underpins the natural sciences. Christ is the pattern for all created things, while the Spirit – his presence in the created world – breathes the divine fire into the equations.
Still Surprised by Easter
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
Interpreting Adam: Introduction
Four Views on the Historical Adam shows that evangelical Christians are far from agreeing on the particulars of Adam and Eve. But this book also makes clear that there is strong agreement among evangelical Christians on the fundamentals of the Christian faith. We agree that all Scripture is inspired by God and authoritative, even while disagreeing on the interpretation of some passages.
Creation Out of Nothing
The key point of continuity between redemption and creation is the idea that the future can be different from the past, i.e., the key is eschatology. More abstractly put, God does new things.
John Ortberg Sermon: Does Science Disprove Faith?
All of you who do science, all of you who teach or research or you're involved in engineering or medicine or education, or biology or chemistry or physics—you are doing a noble thing. You are thinking God's thoughts after him. … You are obeying God's command given way back in Genesis to exercise dominion, to learn about, to be curious and discover and steward the earth.
Praying the Psalms: Psalm 19
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.

Chadron High School's Shoilee Rahman is this year's Nebraska Law Day Essay Contest freshman winner. The contest, sponsored by the Nebraska Supreme Court and the Nebraska State Bar Foundation, picks one winner from each grade level statewide.
All contest entries were scored by a volunteer panel of Nebraska lawyers and judges who are members of the PEOPLE…Public Education Outreach Promoting the Law & Equity…Committee, which helps those in the legal field develop skills in public outreach, community collaboration, community leadership, and public service.
The theme of this year's contest is keeping with the foundation's 2013 law-related education theme, "Civic Education – Keeping Our Democracy Alive," with each young writer asked to pick their favorite patriotic symbol, song, holiday, or activity and tell how it contributes to the development of better citizens.
Rahman chose Martin Luther King Jr. Day and wrote that "Dr. King's leadership and activism during the civil rights era can act as a guide when people deal with issues regarding equality…(and) as a source of inspiration for those wanting to start a movement geared toward social change."
Rahman's win brings with it a $100 gift card from Cornhusker Bank of Lincoln, a personalized portfolio, and a classroom party next week. County Judge Russ Harford will present Rahman with the gift card, portfolio, and a certificate of achievement award during Thursday's Chadron Kiwanis Honors Program
Law Day is traditionally celebrated nationwide during the week of May 1st as a way to reflect on the role of law in the foundation of the United States and to recognize its importance for society. This is the 14th year for the essay contest.

the largest industrial user of electricity is the oil refineries. less refined oil leaves more juice for plugin autos. not necessarily that simple but their could be a shift in demand of electricity .
quote comment add new comment
Natural gas is the primary feedstock used in distillation, thermal cracking, catalytic cracking and most of the other highly energy intensive operations in a refinery. Natural gas is cheaper than using electricity to run these process by far. So, other than operating pumps, lights, etc, exactly how is it that refineries are the largest industrial user of electricity when, say, an aluminum smelting plant uses very high voltage electricity in an electrolytic process to separate aluminum from bauxite ore? Aluminum, btw, has a melting point of 660.37 °C/1220.666 °F. All of the oil refining process take place below 537.778 °C/ 1000 °F.
Rick, from the Oil Capitol of the World, Houston, TX.
PS: Darrel,
I promise when I get the time I will get with you and hear your pov on this.
You constantly get excited about the EEstor's product, when they don't even have anything to show anyone-- yet you totally ignore the Phoenix Motorcar and their Altair batteries which, although expensive, the batteries are not made of expensive, dangerous, toxic or scarce materials, which means that when economies of scale kick in, the Altair NanoSafe battery should be able to be very cheap.
I have been driving the Phoenix Motorcars for more than a year now, whenever they are at an event-- they are powerful, practical (four passenger plus half-ton of payload), have a very sensible range between charges, take less than 10 minutes to recharge (verified by Aerovironment for the California Resources Board), and even with such fast recharges can be expected to last for decades.
The NanoSafe battery was tested on a constant routine of 10 minute charges followed by a two hour discharge to simulate constant real-world use as being driven commercially such as a taxi or delivery vehicle. After 30,000 charge cycles, they finally stopped-- the batteries had dropped 15% in storage capacity after the first 1,500 charges, and thereafter lost no charge capacity and did not deteriorate in any other way.
They can be baked at 400 degrees without exploding or catching fire... they can be crushed, have nails driven through them, be grossly overcharged or completely drained of charge, without being damaged.
Recently, the Army tested them, fully expecting that they would explode if shot with firearms. They set up one of the batteries and cleared a large perimeter for safety... they fired a 50 caliber machine gun at it, at which time someone yelled, "you missed!"
But they had not missed-- the bullet scored a direct hit, but simply did not blow up as they expected.
The Navy has been buying huge batteries from Altair for use in submarines and other large ships. Each ship has to have two large generators going at all times to provide electrical power just in case one of the generators fail, because it could be a severe breach of security if there were a total loss of power, leaving them vulnerable to attack. By replacing one generator with a huge battery, they save 1. 5 million dollars a year just in fuel-- and since the batteries do not need oxygen to run and provide electricity silently, their submarines can operate much more stealthily and do not produce as much carbon dioxide while underwater, allowing them to travel farther without surfacing. Their ships also produce far less carbon emissions responsible for global warming.
The biggest utility companies in the world have been testing the Altair batteries with excellent results, and will be using them to store energy generated by windmills that tend to produce more energy at night when demand is low, which allows them to avoid blackouts on hot summer days when lots of people want to run their air conditioners.
I just wish Altair were selling some of their batteries for other purposes-- vehicles, cell phones, laptops, power tools and other applications. They are starting to make 500 of their EVs for use on Maui... I don't recall the details exactly, but I think they are being used by the island's government motor pools. Unlike other states, Hawaii has no oil wells, and gets all of its petroleum from foreign countries.
If you doubt Phoenix has the ability to produce vehicles, I can send you pictures I took at their Ontario, California facilities. Their assembly building is modern, well-organized, and resembles an aircraft hangar for jumbo jets.
I do not hear you mention lithium iron phosphate batteries, either. They are far safer than lithium ion, and are the battery of choice for those of us converting our gasoline cars to EVs-- some of us are below the radar, and finding ways to drive electric despite what Detroit says is possible.
I do wish you would spend a little more time checking out the technoloy that is already in use, such as the innovative, light, powerful motors produced by entrepreneurs such as "Electric Louie" of Long Beach, California, or Greg "Gadget" Abbott, of Los Angeles. who has been doing EV conversions for several years now, including vehicles that have appeared on the Discovery Channel. THere are hundreds of such EVs on the roads of southern California now.
So get excited about the EEstor if you want, but it's the Altair NanoSafe battery that deserves the real praise.
Thank you for your otherwise thoughtful, informative coverage.

I couldn't find a breakdown by type of industry, but here is the relative usage of industrial vs commercial vs residential from EIA. The consumer WINS!!!
Sales to Ultimate Customers (thousand megawatthours)
Residential 1,392,241
Commercial 1,336,315
Industrial 1,027,832
Well, guy's selling gasoline engines, and for foreseeable future, that is the way it is going to be, so of course, he will say 35 years. While I totally understand our need to perk up our own stuff, it is starting to annoy me when we look at the big picture, and we know it does not look good, yet some people just can't give up. It is beyond me. The truth is, we could, right now, switch over to electric cars. Yes it would be huge pain, I know, but if you look at the upside, I think it would be well worth it.
good luck!
Did I hear someone say, "I like turtles" right before the end?
A couple of things:
1. At the beginning of the 'Cast, I spoke in w-h per pound of battery. I meant per kilo.
2. How did we get back on electricity to make gasoline? Rick - one confusion here is that when I originally said what I did (and I still stand by it) I said that the oil industry uses more electricity than any other industry in the world. That's the entire industry, and for all uses. Not just for distilling. For drilling/pumping/transporting/distilling/dispensing. And not only are they the biggest electricity user, they also of course use gobs of NG. NG that could be better used for other things if I had my way!
Anyway... The bottom of my energy page has links and all kinds of facts and figures on electricity used by the oil industry. If you can find somebody who disputes that the oil industry is the biggest consumer of electricity (and realize that I'm not just talking about purchased from the utilities either!) then I'll have Ryan eat my hat.
With regard to the effects plugging all these EVs into the electricity supply. The demand on electricity distribution drops to almost 0 at night. Therefore even if the grid was stretched during the day for normal load it would easily handle EVs charging at night.
If anything having an increased load on the electricity network would decrease prices. This is due to a more even load on the system distributed accross the whole day. Therefore there is better utilisation of assets for the electricity company which increases the return over the assets lifetime. Also reducing the overall demand spikes will decrease the average price of electricity therefore reducing the cost of the normal electricity.
At least thats the way i can see it working out being a former apprentice at an Electricity Distribution company.
Ryan Gibbs
I was commenting on the subject of electricity usage in oil refineries because the first commenter named 'guest' was trying to make the case and not because anything you said in the evcast. I found the commenter, 'guest's', point unconvincing.
Of course your argument may have more merit if you include the vast oil pipelines used to pump oil around the country, the drilling and of course the pump jacks I see on I-10 when I leave Houston for San Antonio. Also out in West Texas if you view it from an airliner there are oil wells with pump jacks on them stretching out to the horizon. They all have to use electric pumps which, as you rightly infer, are powered from the grid. However in the distilling process it is natural gas that is the primary energy source for that process. The cost of electricity is 19 cents a kilowatt hour here in Houston and though the oil companies probably get a discount on their electricity rates they could also get competitive rates from the natural gas utility providers too. Again there's simply nothing better than natural gas in the refining process. Nevertheless Darrel you make a compelling case for your point that the oil industry (not refineries alone) is the largest "industrial user" of electricity. I will have to check out the links at the bottom of your energy page and weigh the evidence for myself.
BTW, I've been in both oil refineries and aluminum smelting plants and you know you're using alot of electricity when your truck is parked under one of those high voltage bus conduits used in the electrolytic aluminum smelting process and your spade shovel magnetically clings to the truck bumper with the handle facing up.
Rick, from the Oil Capitol of the World, Houston, TX.
Darell's iMIEV video
That was a good show. I think Bo has a very good take on Eestor. Yeah, we would all love to have that solution for energy storage in our EV's. I do not doubt that one day we will approach or even exceed that power density. But to keep hope alive for Eestor to come out with it any day after 5 years of broken promises is foolish. I will be first in line to buy one if they solve all the issues. (Like, have you ever really even built ONE that performs to specs?) I will also be extremely shocked to be in that line. I would even post apologies to any Eestor afficionados I have insulted. I do not expect to ever get an apology from Ian Clifford if Eestor never gets it right, just a promise of 'sometime this year I will apologize, we are making great progress on it and are EXTREMELY close to apologizing.'
Anyway, they promised something by March, and have a press conference tonight, so we will know in the morning whether or not to buy Zenn stock or be glad we didn't.
Everyone on the panel missed what I think is the most common and most important infrastructure improvement.
You guys mentioned charging spots for retailers and such, but I don't see that ever being a major factor. Let's face it. Most shopping trips are very short and close to home. The charging is nice to have at various store fronts, but hardly mandatory most of the time.
Charging points for employees can be lifestyle altering. Instead of just charging for a few minutes or an hour... most employees can get large electron injection over 8 or 9 hours. That empoloyer charging point is often the difference maker about whether or not an EV is practical as an every day car.
The thing is... employer charging points aren't as sexy. They don't get written up in newspapers. They are most commonly created when an employee and an employer come up with a private agreement. Sometimes it's as simple as getting permission to run an extension cord out a back door or window of a small business. Sometimes a nice GFI exterior outlet gets installed.
As EV's become more common, more employers will get asked to provide charging. It will usually be one or two at a time, and gradually build. No fanfare. No parades. No ribbon cutting ceremonies with politicians posing for cameras. Just smart decisions between a couple of people, usually sealed with a handshake.
Being able to charge at work and at home changes everything. Besides... most of us don't make lots of seperate shopping trips, we stop off at stores on the way to work, or on the way home from work. The amount of time parked while running into the store is insignificant compared to a full work day.
Of course... my point only makes sense if anyone still has a job next year, and that is increasingly open to question.
I think EVs isn't a fad because nowadays people should be more practical with this kind of crisis, and buying an EV is really worth because it shows lower depreciation rates compare to any normal gas cars and its parts were more cheap like its headlight and the like.

The Need for Courage
Do any of these languages sound familiar to you: Bambara, Senoufo, Syenara, Tamasheq, Songhai, French? I know you've heard of the last one, but all of them are spoken in West Africa's Republic of Mali and are represented in TWR programming.
This parched, landlocked nation has experienced rapid economic growth and relative stability for many years since its independence from France in 1960. In early 2012, however, a steady collapse of state control over the north of the country was followed by a tentative military coup. In this environment, many Christians have had to flee because of persecution.
Even in this turbulent climate, TWR's Project Hannah-Mali continues to produce and air its signature radio program for women in the Bambara language from more than 30 radio stations within the country. In such a time as this, it's encouraging to know that Project Hannah's prayer network is being developed throughout the country.
Much prayer is needed for this nation and its people, and especially for its Christians. Amid the continuing political unrest, please pray with us for protection of the Project Hannah team in Mali. Pray for safety, strength and courage for the Malian believers, especially in the north. Women and children are the most vulnerable during times of conflict. And let's also thank God for the stations that broadcast the Project Hannah radio program.

Cinnamon Gardens
Harcourt, 2000 - Fiction - 360 pages
Set among the upper classes in the gracious, repressive and complex world of 1920s Ceylon (Sri Lanka), this evocative novel tells the story of two people who must determine if it is possible to pursue personal happiness without compromising the happiness of others. A young teacher, Annalukshmi, whose splintered family attempts to arrange an appropriate marriage for her, must decide whether the independence she craves will doom her to a life without love and companionship. It is also the story of Balendran who, respectably married, must suppress-or confront-the secret desires for men that threaten to throw his life into chaos. With sensuous atmosphere and vivid prose, this masterfully plotted novel re-creates a world where a beautiful veneer of fragrant gardens and manners hides social, personal, and political issues still relevant today.

Down and Out in Vermont
Heroin in the hills
Nov 4, 2013, Vol. 19, No. 08 • By GEOFFREY NORMAN
Rutland, Vt.
A little further down the road, he drove by the St. Johnsbury farmers' market where the local organic gardeners and farmers set up Saturday mornings and do a nice weekend trade in vegetables, eggs, and cheese. There were a few vehicles parked nearby. Fewer, though, than there had been back up the road, at the clinic.
At the office of the Caledonian-Record, St. Johnsbury's daily, where he is executive editor, Gray asked someone, "Hey, what's going on at the clinic this morning?"
"It's Saturday, remember?" a colleague said. "Free needle exchange day."
"Oh, yeah. I forgot."
As sociology, it is pretty crude, but you could certainly take that story as a parable of sorts. One that captures the town's future as a race between the organic farmers and the junkies. A race that the junkies may be winning.
Heroin began its current ascent in Vermont sometime around 2005, according to the people in the state who are trying to get their hands around the problem, which they now routinely describe as an "epidemic" or "plague."
The chief of police of Burlington, the state's only true city, recently estimated that some 15 to 20 organized dealer operations are working his part of the state. Most have ties to gangs in cities that include Detroit, Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia. They move enough of the drug to bring in almost a million and a half dollars every week. Not a lot by big-city standards but, then, the population of the entire state is barely more than 600,000 people.
And the problem, as Chief Michael Schirling said recently, is not confined to Burlington. It is, he said, "in every town, every hamlet, and every back road in Vermont."
So it is now routine to pick up the paper or turn on the news and learn of another "sweep" by the state police, with arrests in the dozens. A January raid in Bennington, in the southwestern corner of the state, rounded up some 60 people. In June, another in Springfield accounted for 33. Then, in September, St. Albans was the target. In October, Manchester. Scores of dealers were arrested. Most were addicts themselves, selling to support their own habits. A few were the big fish. "The guys with the guns," as one undercover officer put it. "Scary dudes, sent here by the gangs and with something to prove."
Vermont seems, in the abstract, all wrong for this sort of thing. Isn't heroin the drug of the urban underclass, project housing, and street gangs? Vermont is among the whitest states in the union, and not so many years ago it had more cows than people, more miles of dirt roads than paved. It is, in the general imagination, the home of Ben & Jerry's and a place where people don't cook cough syrup for meth, they boil maple sap for syrup. In Vermont, when you talk of "doing drugs," you mean smoking marijuana, which is so well tolerated that it might as well be legal.
And now heroin? It's everywhere. Right down to the towns of fewer than 10,000 souls, like St. Johnsbury, tucked up in the far corner of the state called the Northeast Kingdom, where the needle exchange is busier than the farmers' market. Where dealers, many of them on some form of probation or parole from a previous conviction, do business in the center of town, outside the Depot Square, once a gracious old hotel and now a warren of apartments that rent cheaply enough that what the state's housing subsidy doesn't cover, the money off the sale of a few bags of smack will.
It was not always like this, of course. St. Johnsbury was once a proud, vital, and busy little city of the kind that grew up in the Connecticut River Valley during the Industrial Revolution. It was the home of Fairbanks Industries, makers of industrial scales that, by the time of the Civil War, were, according to one history, "the best known American product in the world."
But over the years, the company left for other parts of the country and the world, leaving behind a famous planetarium and a prestigious school, the St. Johnsbury Academy, where boarding students, many from Asia, pay $40,000 a year to attend. It's still a beautiful town, but hollowed out by the loss of work and purpose. The town's vitality, along with its population, declined. A sadly familiar story of unemployment, welfare, illegitimacy, and drugs.

Recipe by PRENSES
"This is my delicious recipe for baklava. I have been asked by several of my Turkish friends to share the recipe and I have been told that cinnamon adds a nice touch."

2 cups
white sugar
2 cups
1 cup
cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 1/2 pounds
chopped almonds
2 tablespoons
white sugar
1 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon
ground cloves
1 1/2 cups
unsalted butter, melted
1 (16 ounce) package
frozen phyllo pastry, thawed
To echo someone earlier: This Is It. I've been dreaming of this recipe since the first time I tasted baklava, homemade by my best friend's mom 13 years ago :) After many disappointments from other recipes and storebought baklava, this is the sweet stuff that I remember -- so if you don't like sweet, check out another recipe. My tip: do NOT generously butter every single layer, or it'll end up dripping butter -- not the ideal baklava. I'll try spray butter next, or every 2 layers. Mmm!
Being Greek Orthodox I took al the shortcuts my mom does, add some buttter to the nut recipe then you dont have to butter so much between the Phillo, and u dont have to thaw the Phillo out all the way it handles better partially thawed, simmer your syrup for at least 2 hours
34 Ratings
completely delicious! i was afraid to try it because it sounded difficult. i was happy to find out that it was not difficult, just time consuming. AND well worth the time and effort!
This was a wonderful recipe! A couple tips are, Make sure to keep the phyllo dough covered with a damp cloth, or it drys out. Also I took out 1/2 cup of the butter and 1/2 sugar and it was great. I don't think that it would be any better if I had put it all in.
Thanks so much for the recipe! There's only one BIG problem with it... I CAN'T STOP EATING IT!!!:)
wow!! this is a great recipe. I had never worked with phyllo dough before and was scared, but it turned out okay! (just keep it covered with plastic wrap) I also did not brush every single layer with butter, just the top of each of the 4 (Although brushing the last couple layers would make it easier to cut). I also subbed the almonds for 1/2 pecans, 1/2 walnuts and added a little cardamom to the nut mixture.
I am not known as a great cook but I certainly impressed my sister in laws with this one! It was easier than I thought & turned out beautifully. If I can make this, anyone can!
I made this recipe for my works christmas party, and now everyone wants the recipe. It is not very hard to make, just real time consuming like CAMILLE_LT had stated before. Thanks for the recipe Debbie.
I was just wondering if anyone else had the amount of nuts left over that I did???will have enough to make many more desserts. Seems great though, it is in the oven as I write this.Thanks for the recipe, I have been looking for this, for a long time.

Shaul Mofaz Walks to Canossa
...said to Mofaz: "This is trash. You sold your soul to Satan."
New in the Website
The Pact
The agreement with Kadima was signed just after midnight Tuesday at Netanyahu's home in Jerusalem. It makes Shaul Mofaz deputy prime minister. This means he will replace Netanyahu when he is abroad, he will also participate in all closed cabinet sessions that "deal with security, diplomatic, economic and social issues." However, the political agenda of his party—Kadima—will not be formally represented. Netanyahu said: "The new coalition is good for the security of Israel, good for the economy of Israel, good for the society of Israel and good for the people of Israel." I have no doubt he thinks so; after all the new coalition is the old coalition led by him, just with a few more votes. Now, Netanyahu will find it easier to struggle with the Supreme Court, which opposes the government on issues of settlements in the West Bank and the recruitment of Haredi Jews to the IDF. The other problem Netanyahu faced—rebel Members of the Knesset in his party—has become irrelevant. No matter how many party members leave Netanyahu's ship, the ship will keep sailing towards the Hormuz Straits and war against Iran. Mofaz and his party are less supportive of such a war than Netanyahu and Barak—who need such a war for their survival in the long run—but Kadima's political agenda is not represented in the formal government guidelines. Leading Israeli journalist David Horovitz described the deal as "a masterstroke of Netanyahu."
The reactions towards the deal were harsh, even in Israeli terms. Those supporting Netanyahu, praised him. However, most people spoke against Shaul Mofaz in harsh terms. This was the result of recent comments by Mr. Mofaz that claimed Netanyahu was a "liar" and "unfit for ruling." Considering this it is difficult to comprehend his move, unless one considers him a cynical manipulator. Amit Segal, a Channel 2's commentator, said this was "the deal of the century," adding that Mr. Netanyahu got "Mr. Mofaz for half-price and 27 other lawmakers free." The harshest public words against the deal were uttered in the Knesset itself by Benjamin ben Eliezer—the Elder Member of the Knesset—who said to Mofaz: "This is trash. You sold your soul to Satan." Mr. ben Eliezer, would you be kind enough to clarify whom you referred to as Satan? Does your statement transform Mr. Netanyahu into an anti-Christ? This is interesting because recently, a heretic named John Hagee defined Netanyahu as the Messiah (see Armageddon's Alliance).

MOOERS - At just eight years old, Christina Paola was able to survive a life-threatening illness. However, with meningococcal meningitis, not all who contract it are as lucky.
To help spread the word of the seriousness of meningitis, Paola, now 15, is hosting a Meningitis Awareness 5K Walk/Run next Saturday, Oct. 16.
Although she doesn't remember much about her time being sick, her mother, Laurie Garand, remembers a lot.
"She was sleeping one night and she woke us up and she was really hot, overly hot," Garand explained. "We thought maybe she had got wrapped in her blanket. So, we tried to cool her down, and she wouldn't cool down, so I brought her to the hospital."
Garand said the doctor told her to just give Paola some medication and let her rest. The next day, Paola went to a friend's house while her family went skiing, but soon things got worse.
"I had trouble watching TV as the lights were very bright," explained Paola. "The noise became unbearable. I would cover my head with a blanket; my fever had come back."
Garand contacted the doctor again but was told she was overreacting and to just let Paola rest.
"I was really upset about it so I called my aunt," recalled Garand. "She said just bring her to the hospital again. So, we did. By the time we left our house and got ready and got down there, we couldn't wake her anymore."
After having a spinal tap, it was determined Paola had meningitis. She spent the next two weeks in the hospital and a third week at home resting.
"When she was sick, and we heard meningitis, I thought it was something that happened years ago when we were little," explained Garand. "I didn't know that disease was really still around."

MADISON — Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen is pleased to address attendees of this year's Drug Endangered Children (DEC) conference, "Promising Practices and Reasonable Expectations," being held July 18-19, 2012, in Wisconsin Rapids. Attorney General Van Hollen's remarks are scheduled to begin around 8:30 a.m. on July 18 at Hotel Mead, located at 451 East Grand Avenue in Wisconsin Rapids.
"I want to thank those who participate and cooperate to make these DEC programs across Wisconsin a success in helping the most innocent of victims, our children," Attorney General Van Hollen said. "These conferences offer all of us an opportunity to learn from one another and improve upon what is, sadly, an essential component to fighting drugs in our communities. Children in the care of those who abuse, distribute and manufacture drugs live at risk of physical, emotional and developmental harm, among other things."
More than two dozen counties and five tribes already have DEC programs, and several more are in development in other communities. The Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) is one of several partners in the Wisconsin Alliance for Drug Endangered Children (DEC), which promotes a multidisciplinary approach to protecting children found in dangerous drug environments. DEC programs include individuals in law enforcement and prosecutors' offices, human services, corrections, schools and non-profits, and the medical and treatment communities.
Media interested in an interview about Wisconsin's DEC programs should contact Dana Brueck. Or, for more information online, including a brochure about this year's conference, visit the following link: http://www.wisconsindec.org/
The conference is sponsored by the Wisconsin DEC Alliance, Wisconsin Department of Children and Families, Wisconsin Department of Corrections, Wisconsin Department of Justice, Wisconsin Office of Justice Assistance, the offices of the U.S. Attorney – Western and Eastern Districts of Wisconsin and the Marathon County Sheriff's Department.

Del Mar asks for $1M in sales tax to expand aviation program
$941,270 would pay to renovate the unused Crescent Hanger at the Corpus Christi International Airport into a training facility
CORPUS CHRISTI - Nearly $1 million in city sales tax dollars might be used to expand a Del Mar College program that trains aviation maintenance technicians.
The growing need for aviation technicians at the Corpus Christi Army Depot and other area facilities has kept businesses looking outside the community to hire workers and the college program at capacity, said Bud Harris, Del Mar College executive dean for intergovernmental and business relations.
College officials requested the money Monday from the Corpus Christi Business and Job Development Corp. Board, the city group that oversees the spending of city sales taxes earmarked for job training and growth.
The board unanimously recommended spending the money, so the proposal now goes to the City Council for final approval.
The $941,270 would pay to renovate the unused Crescent Hanger at the Corpus Christi International Airport into a training facility. The renovations would convert the hanger into 14,400 square feet for aircraft storage, 2,440 square feet of classroom and office space and 30 parking spaces.
As part of the project, Del Mar will invest $2 million and the city won't charge to lease the space, worth about $900,000.
The training program had 202 students enrolled in Fall 2010. The expansion would create room for about 60 more students.
About 50 students graduate with certifications in the program each year, aviation maintenance instructor Joseph Dudek said.
Graduates earn an average annual base salary of $44,000 a year, Harris said.
"I'm trying to find some kind of downside to this and I just can't," board member Butch Escobedo said.
The college has a hanger and training facility at Del Mar's west campus, which was paid for with revenues from bonds sold after a 2003 bond election.
The program allows student to earn certificates in airframe applied technology, aviation maintenance technology, nondestructive testing technology and power plant applied technology. It offers associate degrees in airframe applied technology and power plant applied technology.
After the Federal Aviation Administration certified the program in 2006, admission was opened to all Del Mar students. Before that, the program required applicants to apply through the Corpus Christi Army Depot.
