If you don't mind, move beyond the generalization and show where Scripture condemns alcohol outright (ie not drunkenness or the abuse of alcohol, not "strong drink," but alcohol in general). That would further the discussion in a more beneficial way.Alex Fhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669175.post-1159647690120198652006-09-30T16:21:00.000-04:002006-09-30T16:21:00.000-04:00Regarding the discussion about wine in communion, ...Regarding the discussion about wine in communion, (pardon me if someone has mentioned this already), it is interesting that the Abstract of Principles, an early SBC document that forms the confessional framework for Southern and Southeastern, mentions taking wine in communion.

Point well-taken. If you could read my email (and snail mail!) or simply take a look at Baptist Press articles or certain state newspapers you would see pretty quickly that any hopes I might have ever entertained of not being "perceived by the establishment as 'one of them,' a winebibber, a drunkard, like Jesus" [though I have yet to be accused of being like Jesus!] have been completely vanquished! If such perceptions by such people were a big deal to me, then I suppose this would matter. But they aren't so it doesn't.

Thanks for your observations.Tomhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669175.post-1159451422730348802006-09-28T09:50:00.000-04:002006-09-28T09:50:00.000-04:00Tom,I appreciate your clarification and I understa...Tom,

I appreciate your clarification and I understand your reasoning. As I've perused the blogs on this issue, however, I've noticed that trend again and again. People argue for liberty of conscience for those who choose to drink while at the same time making it clear that they are not one of "those people" who do. I'm not convinced yet that what you gain in undermining their fallacious argument is of greater value than what you lose by underscoring your practice of abstinence. It's clear this is not your intent, but one's disclaimer could be viewed as not wanting to be perceived by the establishment as "one of them," a winebibber, a drunkard, like Jesus :)indwellingtruthhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669175.post-1159449697868224732006-09-28T09:21:00.000-04:002006-09-28T09:21:00.000-04:00Indwellingtruth:I make that disclaimer in order to...Indwellingtruth:

I make that disclaimer in order to lend force to my argument. One of the unfortunate tactics often employed by those who argue that only abstinence is biblical is to accuse anyone who disagrees with them of trying to justify drinking because he is a drinker. I simply want to take that "argument" away. I don't hold my non-drinking up as a badge of honor, nor do I ever want to suggest that it makes me any holier than brothers who drink biblically. I have my reasons for not drinking but judging it to be inherently sinful is not one of them.

Hope this clarifies my approach a little. Blessings.Tomhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669175.post-1159421261164893222006-09-28T01:27:00.000-04:002006-09-28T01:27:00.000-04:00bill0615,Having watched the video my own impressio...bill0615,

Why is it everytime someone--justifiably, I might add--defends the liberty of the Christian to drink alcohol they rush to make the caveat that they themselves do not drink. It sends a mixed message. If it's really ok, and Jesus did it and Paul advocates liberty on the matter, why so qiuckly distance yourself from the practice? If liberty of conscience on this matter is the thing to be honored, then it should make no difference whether one does or doesn't partake of the goods. It seems counterproductive to the argument when the advocate makes a special point of publicizing his or her abstinence. That choice is honorable and fine, but the advertisement seems out of place in this context.

I'm a...Ben,

 You and I hold to the same position. I'm a nondrinker as well but the Scriptures are clear. My own church that I pastor( Yes, Calvinistic Southern Baptist Church)is waiting on their Elders to make the call. I have taught on it and not one person in our church is in disagreement with it even the parents of children.I thought about a split tray for a while but I thought it could bring about camps within our fellowship " The Wine Folks" or the " Grape Juice Folks".
 Too many verse in the Bible that speak about God pouring out His blessings by giving them Wine and increasing their vineyards. I started teaching the men in our church first on this. We( Elders) decided that we would not buy or ask people to bring Wine to church fellowships however if I would want to drink a glass of wine then I told our church that I would and I would not want them to hide it from the Elders in the church if they were out eating somewhere. They also know that we will not tolerate " Drunks" in the church. We have mature people in our church and they see that alcohol is not sin but the abuse of it is.
 This has almost become a " Joke" about wine in the Lord's Supper. There is not one person that has found any scriptural command to stop using wine for the Lord's Supper. What is so sad is that some will say to you and I why are we making such a big deal about this ( Just serve Grape Juice). Ok then let's just start sprinkling for Baptism. Yes, I'm comparing Apples to Apples !
 I appreciate your stand for what is so clear in scripture and not giving in to the following : What about Alcoholics, What about Children ? How about What about Christ commands! I'm sure Jesus was quite aware of these things and Paul as well. Paul even rebuked those that got drunk at the Lord's table but he didn't say to stop using wine.

You go to the front of the church where elders give you bread and then you can dip it into either a cup of wine or juice. At least they give a choice. I don't get the authority for "juice" either. Most of the arguments I've heard have been weak. I hate the arrogance of approaching the text as if we are enlightened and understand the plight of the "weaker brother" in the congregation, and therefore offer grape juice. So why do we offer bread to gluttons? It seems we have a very condescending attitude toward the communion prescriptions the Holy Spirit inspired Paul to write about in the NT. Why is it we think we "know better" and can chuck this or that element of communion willy nilly? I, like Scott, would appreciate some erudite comments on this. Currently I can see no biblical reason for not having wine, and wine alone, used for communion. I also am a non-drinker and I don't even care for wine. But if our Holy Scriptures command it, how can the SBC or anyone else be against it?Ben Kellerhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669175.post-1159374355640868832006-09-27T12:25:00.000-04:002006-09-27T12:25:00.000-04:00When only 40% of Southern Baptists ever particpate...When only 40% of Southern Baptists ever particpate in the life of the church and show no visible signs of regeneration, I think we have bigger battles that the alcohol debate. Let's pick the battles wisely and fight for substantial issues like- the gospel, a bibical understanding of church membership, etc...

As for the cocerns about the eisegesis of the text in Joshua. I agree to a point and know what you mean but let's lighten up. They were not attempting an exegesis of the passage nor are they holding their statement up as an interpretation of the passage. They are simplying using it as an example and an illustraton of their position.jbuchananhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669175.post-1159369113911520682006-09-27T10:58:00.000-04:002006-09-27T10:58:00.000-04:00Sorry for not proofreading what I wrote.

 Great point! I have a question concerning alcohol: Since wine was used in the Lord's Supper in the time of Christ ministry on earth who has ever given the SBC or any denomination the AUTHORITY to change from wine to grape juice for the Lord's Supper. This is so plain to see. By who's authority did we have to change it. However, I will guarantee to you that we started Sprinkling people for Baptism they would be going crazy about it and so would I but who again has given the SBC the authority to not compromise on baptism but we can do it on the Lord's Supper.
 I have had people challenge me on this before saying that I'm not comparing Apples to Apples. How am I not? Alot of parents give alcohol to their children with cough medicine ( The alcohol is in the medicine) but never give it a second thought but if it was Ok for children, teenagers during the days of Jesus and Paul to serve the children who were converted and baptized why is it not OK today? The cry is that the wine was watered down " Back then". Ok if that is true then lets water it down today and serve it for the Lord's Supper today. What is so sad is that I would be considered radical for my view today yet let's ask the question: Who is following the example of scripture closer Me or the Welchs Grape Juice Guy.

Speaking for the Convention, the Convention has not historically felt the need to speak on this issue as a Convention. In fact, in the 19th century that was considered not be in the interest of the Convention's mission. Details like that are overlooked.

I'd add that while these folks seem to know what the Bible says about alchhol (indeed some of those most ardently in favor of Resolution 5 have made dogmatically positive statements about the very percentage of alcohol)in the wine of those days, they can't come to unified agreement on the doctrines of grace for which there is far more exegetical material that is far more certainly exegeted if they'd just let the text speak. I find that highly ironic.GeneMBridgeshttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669175.post-1159313768447530462006-09-26T19:36:00.000-04:002006-09-26T19:36:00.000-04:00Tom,You make a very good point about the amount of...Tom,

You make a very good point about the amount of attention and emphasis given to the alcohol debate. If, as this "convergence" shows, that they have a serious commitment to such baptist distinctives as regenerate church membership, confessional fidelity, and the authority and sufficiency of Scripture, one has to wonder whether Brad Reynolds will recruit the same all-star line up to write lengthly articles on our need for ecclesiastical reform. If such a non-essential can receive such attention from the SBC movers and shakers, then surely an essential matter which defines Southern Baptist should receive all the more attention. I will be keeping a close watch on BP's "First Person" articles for that. :)Timmyhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669175.post-1159312166077139652006-09-26T19:09:00.000-04:002006-09-26T19:09:00.000-04:00communion of the saint....I'm gonna find a way to ...communion of the saint....

The title itself is a little too cute: the Joshua Convergence?

The usage of the verses from Joshua appears to be the result of more eisegesis than exegesis, like much of what passes for expository preaching in our day.

The whole "Moses-Joshua" paradigm is a bit over-reaching and presumptuous. To claim that the leaders of the SBC conservative resurgence are our Moses (Moseses? Mosii?) and those at the meeting are Joshuas seems awfully self-important.

Oh, well, gotta run. I'm late for a meeting of the Keach Konfusion.

Here in Texas as you know, the confused liberals (i.e. Moderates) used and continue using the phrase.

Like others here, I wonder if this was a response to Memphis or possibly even the TG4 statement. Perhaps these 'young leaders' see Reformed (if not total then in part) alliances being formed and consider them threats to what they misperceive as established SBC tradition. Granted this may be overreaction, or overthinking, on my part perhaps for now. Thus in time, as these young leaders grow, we may know whether they're in fact a new SBC Sanhedrin, formed in honor and to continue remembrance of the Maccabean (Patterson, Pressler, et. al) revolution waged in recent time past.sparrowhawkhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669175.post-1159283013342379572006-09-26T11:03:00.000-04:002006-09-26T11:03:00.000-04:00Kevin:I don't pretend to understand the reasoning ...Kevin:

I don't pretend to understand the reasoning behind some of the positions staked out by those inerrantists behind this convergence. I have read their arguments contending that total abstinence is essential for godliness and have found them severely lacking in biblical exegesis. Like you, I do not drink and so do not come to this question with a personal agenda to promote or protect. I believe them when they say they are motivated out of a commitment to holiness. The same commitment is what motivates me and others to address far more weightier matters like regenerate church membership and church discipline. While I am delighted that these two vital matters are mentioned in their statements, I will be interested to see if any of the proponents going after them with the same vigor that they have attacked the consumption of alcohol issue. Particularly, I have in mind Brad Reynolds. If this doesn't happen, then a big question mark will remain over the whole convergence document.Tomhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669175.post-1159280465269995592006-09-26T10:21:00.000-04:002006-09-26T10:21:00.000-04:00Tom,Something smells with this.

Why does the SBC have to always be in a "Battle" for the Bible. I don't get it. If we are serious about "inerrancy" then why are they condemning alcohol when the Bible does not. (I don't drink so I have no dog in the hunt)Kevin Busseyhttp://email@example.com

That sure wasn't around when I graduated from the private college in 2001 (nor was its infamous Undie Run, for that matter). And such a august ritual certainly doesn't mesh with my Paul's tradition: nearly getting into fights.
Oh, I never sought them--they just came. One time, a cholo kept trying to hit me up, not content with me claiming a P.O. Box in Anaheim as my set. Another year, a lowlife out of Ask the Dusk had a problem with my pal and I talking in Spanish so early in the afternoon--if I remember correctly, he called us wetbacks, spics, beaners and wabs (and did I mention that the gabacho was darker than us light-skinned Mexis?). And I can't remember the exact details of the third near-fight, except it involved a girl I once knew, a jealous boyfriend, how he once fainted when she broke up with him for me, and how I laughed about it at a dinner party years before. In each case, a wise, sober friend stepped in to avert me cracking a pool cue over someone's head, and that was the Paul's I loved: a rough-and-tumble hole filled with locals ornery enough to keep the hipsters and bros at bay forever.
So imagine my surprise when I hit up Paul's on a recent Friday night along with the Jeffs who own the fabulous Chapter One: the modern local in SanTana, Hall and Jensen. (Also in tow were two politicians, whom I won't mention by name because I promised our drunken escapades would be off the record--first and only time that'll happen, so consider yourselves lucky, cabrones!) The two Jeffs, the two pols and I were ready to dive it, ready to have illuminating conversations with random weirdos, so we got a taxi ride from downtown SanTana with a guy who called himself Mo but whose license said "Mohammad" (make us drunken kaffirs say your name, son!). He dropped us off, and we were excited . . . until we walked into a college bar out of Tempe.
Gone was Paul's dank; in its place were bright lights, a bunch of flat-screens and a digital jukebox that blasted songs slightly too cool for KRTH (Gladys Knight & the Pips' version of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," James Brown's "Night Train") but very out-of-place at an OC working-class bar. The old signs, slate-wood walls, bar and pool tables were there, but what happened to the shuffleboard? One section had turned into an ottoman-filled room where gals chirped away while their guys tried to act blue-collar by ordering generic beers.

Tyson Fury-Dereck Chisora II moved to Nov. 29
Originally scheduled for November 22, Tyson Fury and Dereck Chisora will square off once again one week later.
Originally scheduled for November 22, Tyson Fury and Dereck Chisora will square off once again one week later.
The much-anticipated rematch between British heavyweights Tyson Fury and Dereck Chisora has a new date after Chisora pulled out five days before their scheduled July 26 matchup with a broken hand.
Tyson Fury has withdrawn from Saturday's heavyweight contest against Alexander Ustinov in Manchester, England, after his uncle and first trainer, Hughie, became seriously ill and was taken to a hospital.
Heavyweight contender Tyson Fury will face Alexander Ustinov, the fighter Dereck Chisora broke his hand sparring against last week, on Saturday in Manchester. Chisora's injury nixed his anticipated rematch with Fury that was scheduled for Saturday.
Tyson Fury still plans to be in action this Saturday in Manchester, England, despite the shock cancelation of his heavyweight title eliminator against Dereck Chisora.
Dereck Chisora has been forced to withdraw from his showdown against Tyson Fury this Saturday (July 26) at the Phones 4 U Arena in Manchester after suffering a fractured left hand in his final sparring session.
With a few choice words thrown in, Tyson Fury predicted that Wladimir Klitschko will unify the heavyweight world titles with a victory over Bermane Stiverne and then vacate them all.
Tyson Fury erupted at a press conference with Dereck Chisora as the British heavyweights continued the promotional tour for their July 26 showdown in Manchester, England.
Heavyweight contender Tyson Fury revealed Monday that he will fight "12 rounds behind closed doors" in mid-April ahead of meeting Dereck Chisora at Manchester's Phones4U Arena on July 26 in a WBO title eliminator.
Undefeated Tyson Fury looks forward to facing Dereck Chisora in a July rematch for a shot at RING heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko.
Former heavyweight contender and title challenger Gerry Cooney is excited about the current heavyweight division, particularly about the potential of unbeaten standouts Deontay Wilder and Mike Perez.
Heavyweight KO artist Deontay Wilder is unimpressed with the recent victories by English counterparts Tyson Fury and Dereck Chisora, and says he's "1000 percent ready" for his WBC title-elimination bout against Malik Scott on March 15 in Puerto Rico.
The last two weeks have been slow ones but many RING-rated fighters saw action, including the magazine's top-ranked flyweight, Roman Gonzalez, top-10 middleweight Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam and junior lightweight contender Diego Magdaleno, all of whom notched KOs.
Readers give their thoughts on the recently announced rematch between Carl Froch and George Groves, Roman Gonzalez, Tyson Fury and Dereck Chisora, mythical matchups involving Sonny Liston and Gerald McClellan, and more in this week's Monday mailbag. Enjoy!

In a drab affair British heavyweight Dereck Chisora defeated Kevin Johnson by unanimous decision on Saturday in London and kept hopes alive of an eagerly anticipated rematch with Tyson Fury. Official scores were 118-109 twice and 118-110.
British heavyweight star Tyson Fury did pretty much what was expected by posting a fourth-round stoppage of Joey Abell on Saturday in London. The undefeated contender took a step towards an eagerly anticipated summer rematch with countryman Dereck Chisora.
Fans share their thoughts on Dereck Chisora, Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder, British super middleweight prospect Frank Buglioni, the post-career health of fighters, GGG haters and lovers, mythical matchups and much more in this week's Friday mailbag. Enjoy!
Tyson Fury is itching to get back into the ring against Joey Abel on the Dereck Chisora-Kevin Johnson undercard on Saturday. The heavyweight contender believes a win over the journeyman will lead to a Chisora rematch, which will lead to a title shot.
British heavyweight Dereck Chisora capped off 2012 with a miserable three-fight losing streak, rebounded in 2013 with four KO wins, and on Saturday, against Kevin Johnson, he's looking to get back on the world title path.

This Is Our Jam: The Weeknd, Autre Ne Veut, And A Comeback By Mazzy Star
This week our picks exist in a dreamy realm perfect for the dog days of summer. We have a new piece of pop psychedelia from Ariel Pink and Jorge Elbrecht, Portland's hypnotically beautiful Pure Bathing Culture, Greek import Keep Shelly in Athens, and a controversial new song from The Weeknd. Most exciting, though, is the return of Mazzy Star, whose "California" is everything we'd hoped for from David Roback and Hope Sandoval's return. That one's at the bottom in case you want to skip right to it.
Ariel Pink and Jorge Elbrecht
"Hang On to Life"
Ariel Pink is often at his best when he's playing it (relatively) straight. His new collaboration with Violens' Jorge Elbrecht sees the L.A. experimentalist in dreamy-pop mode as he bonds with his friend. It's sweet stuff and just off-kilter enough that no one else could have made it.
Pure Bathing Culture
"Dream the Dare"
The second single from Portland two-piece Pure Bathing Culture (following the excellent "Pendulum") is just as beautiful as its predecessor. With a sound somewhere between Beach House and Fleetwood Mac, the band has one of our favorite debuts of the year. And that chorus!
Keep Shelly In Athens
Greek duo Keep Shelly In Athens has been in the synth-pop game for a while now, and the band is finally ready to drop its debut LP, At Home, this September via Cascine. "Recollection" is the first taste from that release, featuring New Age textures and a hypnotic breakbeat.
The Weeknd
"Belong to the World"
While The Weeknd may currently be defending himself against accusations that he sampled Portishead classic "Machine Gun" without permission, "Belong to the World" is still the best track so far from the Canadian R&B star's debut LP. With a video set in a dystopian Japan, Tesfaye breaks out of his lofts-and-drugs mode for desolation of a grander scale.
Autre Ne Veut
"On and On"
"On and On" may be the result of Autre Ne Veut's partnership with the Adult Swim Singles Series, but the track doesn't sound like a one-off. Slightly more upbeat than much of his excellent debut, Anxiety, "On and On" is built around a squishy synth line that belongs on the dance floor.
Mazzy Star
Legendary dream-psych duo Mazzy Star has just dropped the first new single from its 17-years-in-waiting new album, Seasons Of Your Day. Picking up where the band left off, "California" mixes brittle guitar with Hope Sandoval's unmistakable vocals. It's quietly devastating in exactly the way we'd hoped.

TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: St. Patrick's Day edition; 99 closure tonightMarch 17, 2014 at 6:49 am | In West Seattle news, West Seattle traffic alerts | Comments Off
(Latest bridge and Viaduct views; more cams on the WSB Traffic page)
Good morning! No major problems so far. But if you're using the Spokane Street Viaduct eastbound between 1st and 4th Avenues, take note of a big pothole reported Sunday morning – we're hopeful it did get fixed, but can't confirm that until later.
Also of note: WSDOT is not done with the Spokane St. Overcrossing bridge restriping just south of the West Seattle Bridge, so it's expecting to close 99 between East Marginal and Atlantic again for up to 3 more nights, starting tonight, 9 pm-5 am. We're told that the closures are weather-dependent – so they're not a sure thing if it's rainy.
8:02 AM: 911 log shows a crash at 40th/Hanford.

|The biochemistry of asthma.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21718756 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|BACKGROUND: Asthma is not one disease. Different patients have biochemically distinct phenotypes. SCOPE OF REVIEW: Biomarker analysis was developed to identify inflammation in the asthmatic airway. It has led to a renewed interest in biochemical abnormalities in the asthmatic airway. The biochemical determinants of asthma heterogeneity are many. Examples include decreased activity of superoxide dismutases; increased activity of eosinophil peroxidase, S-nitrosoglutathione reductase, and arginases; decreased airway pH; and increased levels of asymmetric dimethyl arginine. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS: New discoveries suggest that biomarkers such as exhaled nitric oxide reflect complex airway biochemistry. This biochemistry can be informative and therapeutically relevant. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE: Improved understanding of airway biochemistry will lead to new tests to identify unique subpopulations of patients with asthma. It will also likely lead to new, targeted treatments for these specific asthma subpopulations. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Biochemistry of Asthma.

Hulu intros four new original shows
updated 07:45 pm EDT, Thu April 19, 2012
Hulu steps up original video content
Hulu used its turn at upfronts for TV content to reveal that it was adding four original shows beyond those teased earlier in the year. The strategy would be headlined by The Awesomes, a superhero comedy show due in 2013 that would draw on Saturday Night Live actors Seth Meyers and Michael Shoemaker. A nearer-term committed show, the 2012 basketball series We Got Next, would have The Game's Hale Rothstein and Kenya Barris along with The Office's Danny Leiner.
Two other shows without defined posting windows were coming. Don't Quit Your Daydream will have a "cast of famous musicians" looking for collaborators on a song and is based on a documentary by Adrian Grenier and John Loar. Flow will be a sci-fi fighting drama that will include parkour expert David Belle and show creator Michael Wendschuh.
The four are a significant expansion of Hulu's original plans and show it hoping to reduce its dependency on major broadcasters than it had hinted in the past. While ABC/Disney, Fox, and NBCUniversal all have a stake in Hulu, it hasn't stopped them from periodically withholding content. Fox recently instituted a mandatory delay for all but those who qualify for a specific sign-in option.
Hulu might spend as much as $500 million in getting content in the hopes of appealing to video producers that don't like tight studio controls. However, it added that it made $420 million in ad and subscription revenue just last year, and is hedging that both continued growth with existing content and original shows would help it turn a profit.

VP hopeful Paul Ryan energizes Moon crowd with campaign appearance
Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan attacked President Obama's policies on jobs and energy on Saturday morning during a quick stop near Pittsburgh International Airport.
The rally between appearances in the election battlegrounds of Florida and Ohio highlights what analysts consider a renewed emphasis on Pennsylvania as polls show the gap narrowing between Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
Ryan made a dramatic entry, walking on stage right off the plane at Atlantic Aviation in Moon and saying: "We are going to win Pennsylvania, and we are going to win this election." Supporters twirled yellow Romney-Ryan towels in Terrible Towel fashion. The Secret Service estimated the crowd at 1,000.
The seven-term congressman from Wisconsin warned that Obama's energy policies were hurting Americans, telling supporters to look no further than the gas pump for evidence.
"Look, gas prices are more than double what they were four years ago. Who knows what they're going to be if he got four more years," Ryan said.
"Not only are these policies wrong, not only do these policies cost us jobs, not only do they mean that American energy dollars go to the Middle East; they are keeping us from having a boon," he said. "They are keeping us from having jobs. They are keeping us from making our paychecks stretch farther."
Democrats responded before Ryan even landed.
"If we've learned anything over the last few weeks, we have learned that Mitt Romney will say anything to get elected," Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald said as he stood with fellow Democrats at a small rally in the Airside Business Park. About 20 people attended the rally 90 minutes before Ryan spoke.
"Trying to cover up his own record, because over the last six years, he ran as a severely conservative candidate, and now just a few weeks before the election, he's trying to turn himself into 'Moderate Mitt.' "
Ryan's visit was the first to Western Pennsylvania by either side in the campaign since August.
Sean Hankey, 27, of Ford City said he thinks Romney-Ryan is the right ticket.
"We have to make some solid fiscal decisions to slow our growing debt and plan for the future," said Hankey, a banker who recently bought a home. He said this is the first time he's really excited about voting in a presidential election.
"I think that Ryan has it correct on jobs and the energy sector's potential for growth and that can only mean good things down the road for our region," he said.
Matt Goda of Wexford said he usually spends his Saturday mornings sleeping in.
"We were here at 8:15 this morning, we were so excited to see Ryan speak," said Goda, 18, a freshman at Robert Morris University in Moon.
He was joined by classmates Robert Byers and Kevin Klust. Goda and his classmates countered the argument that young people lean toward the Democrats.
"I couldn't be more supportive of Mitt Romney's policies, and I just think Ryan's fiscal plans for the future are spot on," he said.
After the event in Moon, Ryan went to a rally in Valley View Campground in Belmont, Ohio.

I am not an Aishwarya Rai look-alike: Sneha Ullal
22nd Feb 2006 09.41 IST
By ApunKaChoice Bureau
Sneha Ullal made big news last year with her debut film Lucky - No Time For Love because everybody thought that she was a look-like to the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai .
Yes, a very uncanny similarity was there and what added to the speculation and public frenzy was the fact that she made her debut opposite Salman Khan - the former lover of Ash.
But Sneha asserts that she is not an Ash look-alike.
Talking to a leading daily, Sneha said this on being termed as an Ash look-alike: "When people see a copy of the Taj Mahal, they say it looks like the Taj Mahal, isn't it? So, that's an advantage. But when they compare me with Aishwarya, I think they should limit it to the screen, nothing else. I am new to this profession and hence, there is no competition."
Sneha said that she doesn't mind her image of the girl next door: "I don't mind. I feel very young and can easily pass off as a girl for a long, long time. Age is on my side, so what's the problem? I can think of an image makeover later."
Sneha's next release Aryan is an action flick opposite Sohail Khan . On her scope in the action film Sneha said: "I signed the film before I started working on Lucky. It was Sohail who asked me to try it out. You know I am part of the Khan family, so I depended on his conviction. But let me be honest. After working in the film, I can say I have done much more than did in Lucky."
Elaborating her role in the film the beautiful actress said: "It's a young affair. I play a girl who is like a support system for Sohail, who is a boxer. We are from diametrically opposite backgrounds. I am from a rich family but he is not that well off. Despite all odds, I believe in him. The best part is that my character has shades - I also play a mother in the film. In 'Lucky', on the other hand, the horizon of my role was confined to that of a schoolgirl, showing me in two-three outfits."
Sneha added that she couldn't prepare for the role: "I signed 'Aryan' and immediately went to Russia to shoot for 'Lucky'. After I returned I was on the sets of 'Aryan'. So, I hardly had any time for preparation."
On her experience of working with the Khan brothers Salman and Sohail, Sneha said: "They are completely different from the image they have of being arrogant. They all believe in hard work. Salman is a bit flirtatious, he loves to play pranks on the sets. Sohail, on the other hand, is more sober. Having worked with them, I have also imbibed some of their good qualities."

Car for Crippled Children Attacked in Belfast
Today was the annual outing for crippled children to Mountstewart, the home of the Marquis of Londonderry. However, when one of the cars that had conveyed the children back to their homes in West Belfast was driving down Leeson Street, just off the Falls Road, it was attacked. The car was set upon by a group of men and they pulled off three Union flags that were decorating the car. The men also tried to attack the driver and two passengers, an entertainer who had been at the party and one of the crippled children. Fortunately the driver was able to speed off, and no one was hurt. According to the Belfast Telegraph, the 'incident has caused much indignation in Belfast'.

Mexicans have a graphic saying that should serve as a warning to parents, not only south of the border but also in the United States. It loosely translates as: "If you raise crows, they'll scratch out your eyes."
Believe it. Just ask Sean and Elizabeth Canning of Lincoln Park, N.J. Their 18-year-old daughter, Rachel, is now perhaps the most famous spoiled brat in America. She is also the epitome of what is referred to as the millennial generation but really ought to be rebranded "Generation E" - for entitlement.

Perhaps one of the greatest battles in the health-disease continuum is that between free radicals and antioxidants.
A free radical is a molecule that carries a single positive charge. Free radicals are what cause a car's body to rust. In the human body, these same free radicals cause tissue damage and aging. And that single positive charge gets passed dominolike through each molecule the free radical contacts in the body.
Cigarette smoking, stress, chemical exposure, injuries and sun exposure are all sources of free radicals.
Antioxidants neutralize that single positive charge, halting the domino fall of tissue damage. Vitamin C, vitamin, E, selenium, bioflavonoids and polyphenols are all examples of antioxidants.
In general, the more antioxidants you have in your body, the healthier you are. A large British study in 2008 found that people with high blood levels of vitamin C lived four years longer than those with low levels.
Not surprisingly, antioxidant supplements are big business, from vitamin C to whole foods-based products like fruit and vegetable juices and powders. But are these products effective and worth the price?
All products will generally contribute to better health, all other things considered. I take a supplement myself, even though I eat lots of antioxidant-rich foods.
Some powdered drinks provide a whopping 15,000 to 20,000 ORAC units, a measure of antioxidant capacity, for about $8 per serving, or 40 cents per 1,000 units. Can we do better with pure foods?
The U.S. Department of Agriculture lists ORAC values (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) for hundreds of foods. Wild blueberries provide about 6,500 ORAC units per 3.5 ounces. Frozen wild blueberries cost $4 about per pound, making the cost per 1,000 units about 13 cents, or one-third the cost of the supplement.
The ORAC values of dark chocolate and fresh cherries are a real treat. Chocolate-covered dried cherries at a local health food store are $16.99 per pound. Their ORAC value per 3.5 ounces is about 12,000, making the cost per 1,000 units just more than 30 cents. This is more than frozen blueberries, but it's cheaper than the supplement powder. And, it puts a smile on your face to think about taking your medicine.
I'm not suggesting that we all live on dark chocolate and fruit, but a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, plus healthy fats and proteins, are crucial to good health.
Berries, artichokes, black beans, tree nuts, artichokes, and culinary herbs and spices are loaded with life-extending antioxidants. Load your diet with them, and you will enjoy optimal health and reduce your need for expensive supplements.
This is the opinion of Steven Coward, a naturopathic doctor and classical homeopath in private practice. He can be reached at 254-3004 or email@example.com.

Alex Heath, 17, son of West Lafayette Fire Chief Timothy Heath, wears a special helmet to promote autism awareness.
- Filed Under
With the help of a special helmet, West Lafayette firefighters are joining a national effort to raise awareness of autism.
April is Autism Awareness Month, and according to reports from the Centers for Disease Control, the number of children diagnosed with that disorder is steadily increasing. In 2007, one in every 150 American children was diagnosed with an autism disorder. That number has risen to one in 88.
West Lafayette Fire Chief Tim Heath, along with his family, came up with an idea to help spread awareness by decorating a fire helmet with a puzzle piece, the symbol of autism awareness. ...

American Art since 1900
Edited by Annette DiMeo Carlozzi and Kelly Baum
Table of Contents and Excerpt
With the Blanton's new American collection catalogue, students, scholars, and art lovers alike will have the opportunity to trace the history of artistic achievement in the United States from the last century to the present day through this most important collection of American art. The core of the Blanton's American art collection was formed by the significant gift of the Mari and James A. Michener Collection, which came to the museum in 1968 and 1991. Today, the Blanton's collection of modern and contemporary American art is a significant resource of more than 4,000 paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures, and works in new media from 1900 to the present.
This attractive catalogue thoroughly presents selections from the collection's noteworthy concentrations: early American modernism, the American scene and social realism, abstract expressionism, and paintings of the 1960s. Artists represented include Jo Baer, Jim Dine, Philip Evergood, Helen Frankenthaler, Arshile Gorky, Adolph Gottlieb, Hans Hofmann, Ellsworth Kelly, Franz Kline, Jacob Lawrence, Brice Marden, Joan Mitchell, Mark Rothko, Peter Saul, Ben Shahn, Raphael Soyer, and Richard Tuttle, among many others. The catalogue also includes a selection of contemporary art in all media by a culturally diverse group of emerging and established figures such as Jeremy Blake, Rachel Harrison, Arturo Herrera, Byron Kim, Fabian Marcaccio, Dario Robleto, Shahzia Sikander, Amy Sillman, and Bill Viola. Accompanying the more than two hundred images are various essays by museum professionals, artists, and members of the art community.

SPOTLIGHT by Jonathan L. Moore
Getting Queued Up: The Nuts and Bolts of 'Government Error' Motions
the process culminates in a denial, especially when the denial is based on an obvious factual or legal er- ror by the Department of Labor (DOL). An impor- tant tool for addressing these errors is the "govern- ment error" queue for motions to reconsider.
What is the Government Error Queue? When an employer files a motion to reconsider a
he PERM labor certification process is gruel- ing and tedious. As a result, it is deflating for employers, beneficiaries, and counsel when
Defining Clear Government Error What constitutes government error is open to
interpretation—DOL's interpretation, that is. Ac- cording to the PERM Appeals FAQs, DOL makes clear that "[t]he Department determines what constitutes a Department error.
PERM denial, the motion goes into one of two DOL processing "queues"—the "government error" or the "regular" reconsideration queue. The "government error" queue is available for applications where clear error by DOL was the sole basis for denial. See DOL, Permanent Labor Certification FAQs: Appeals (Dec. 1, 2009). (These PERM Appeals FAQs are incorpo- rated into the current PERM FAQs listed on DOL's website). DOL reviews each "government error" mo- tion individually and assigns it to the queue it deems appropriate. DOL does not notify employers about which queue it assigns a motion. Instead, according to October 28, 2010, liaison minutes, unless DOL contacts an employer within 45 days of filing, the employer should assume DOL placed the motion in the "regular" processing queue. The processing time for the "government error"
queue is substantially shorter than the "regular" recon- sideration queue. As of March 2012, the government error queue was "current," meaning that motions were being processed within 45 days. See DOL, Welcome to the iCERT Visa Portal System (This information is also located in the "PERM Fact Sheet.
DOL was still processing "regular" reconsideration re- quests for PERM applications filed in October 2010. Id.
"). By comparison,
was denied on multiple grounds, DOL must agree that each ground constitutes government error. Id. Otherwise, the motion is placed in the "regular" queue. Id. Stakeholders may believe that most denial deci-
" If the application
sions are the result of government error. However, for purposes of the government error queue, DOL's definition is narrow. For example, DOL states that clear government error occurs if the denial is based on failure to respond to an audit, but the employer can prove that it filed an audit response or that it never received an audit response letter. Id. Another example is a denial due to a data entry error on a mailed-in PERM application. Id. In liaison minutes from January 2012, DOL stated that denials based on recruitment not containing the Kellogg language also qualify for the "government error" queue. Unlike "regular" motions to reconsider or requests
for review with the Board of Alien Labor Certifica- tion Appeals, government error motions are not ex- plicitly enumerated in the PERM regulations. This presents a double-edged sword. On the one hand, there are no narrow regulatory limitations on what constitutes government error. Thus, a "government error" motion is possible whenever there is a reason- able argument—even a creative one—for why the denial was based solely on government error. On the other hand, the lack of regulatory guidance opens the door for inconsistent determinations, even in virtu- ally identical cases.

Lessons from a BlackBerry App Developer
Jun 30th
I just finished reading a very interesting article/story written by Marcus Watkins, who is the creator of PodTrapper. The article discusses his experiences and lessons learned in developing, pricing, marketing and selling his first mobile application on the BlackBerry platform. It was published June 22, 2009; so it's still recent and very relevant.
Here is an overview of what it covers (taken from the article):
BlackBerry Platform
– Look and Feel
– It's the Network
– Background Apps/Memory
Pricing the App
Selling the App (Retailers)
– Handango
– Direct
– MobiHand
– BlackBerry App World
Initial Sales
Sales Post-App World
Dealing [or not] with other companies
My Customers
Topic Outline
For all those BlackBerry developers out there. I hope you have had the chance to check out the App Store and apply for distribution through it's channel; it can be extremely valuable. If you want to learn more about it, check out my blog post on the BlackBerry Partners Fund Blog called "The Next Wave: Mobile Applications and the BlackBerry Application Storefront," which discusses some specifics about developing for BlackBerry App World.
Some BlackBerry developers (and outside observers) have recognized that there are some kinks in the process of getting onto BlackBerry App World. Kevin Talbot, co-manager of the BlackBerry Partners Fund, identifies some key issues plaguing BlackBerry App World and invites developers and others to comment and add their thoughts about what RIM can do to fix App World.
If you have just submitted an application, or are planning on developing an application soon, make sure to apply for the 2009 BlackBerry Partners Fund Developer Challenge.
Happy developing!

1. Java does not have a find() method for strings. Please tell me I'm wrong.
2. The apstring arrays in C++ that allowed you to reference a single character are not in Java. (i.e. string[num]) Is there a way to reference a single character using substring and casting to a character? I only have so much room to write the code in on the test.
3. int comparisons automatically change to Booleans make 'long' int comparisons impossible. What now?

School Closures & Delays | Current Forecast | Power Outages | Share Video & Photos | Cameras
EUGENE, Ore. - Forecasters issued a Winter Storm Watch for heavy snow for the southern Willamette Valley.
The watch starts late Wednesday and extends through Thursday night, the National Weather Service in Portland said.
"A period of heavy snow will make travel difficult, especially Thursday afternoon and evening," forecasters said. "A Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for significant
snow, sleet or ice accumulations that may impact travel."
Snow accumulations of 3 to 6 inches in the valley and 4 to 8 inches in the Lane County foothills are possible, forecasters said.
Snow is forecast to start falling before sunrise Thursday, become steady through the morning and peak in the afternoon and evening before easing overnight into Friday, forecasters said.
"Snow showers will decrease on Friday and be primarily confined to the Cascades," forecasters said. "Another storm will bring more significant snow Friday night and Saturday. This storm will gradually warm the airmass, and freezing rain will replace the snow.
"Confidence on the timing of these transitions are low, but there is fair confidence that a layer of ice will form on top of the snow Saturday orSaturday night and result in extra slippery roads and walking paths.
"Residents on the west side of the Cascades should be prepared for snowy and icy conditions this weekend," forecasters cautioned. "Those planning travel or outdoor activities should consider rescheduling."
