JUMP with the National Theatre of Scotland
Written By Lisa Davidson on Wednesday, 14 November 2012 | 09:16
The culmination of a 10 month project involving over 1000 Scottish secondary school boys from Glasgow and Fife, JUMP is a freshly devised theatrical production.
The two productions (Glasgow and Fife) fuse creative writing, autobiographical storytelling through music and urban prose, physical theatre and the movement discipline of parkour, to explore the obstacles on the journey from boyhood to manhood.
You can experience this exhilerating production at Platform, Glasgow 22nd-23rd November (Glasgow boys) and Rothes Halls, Fife 28th-29th November (Fife boys).
Find out more by watching the trailer here or visit the website for more details.

Game Woes
Is it the games, or is it just me?
Every dedicated gamer hits a slump. A point where the fun factor drops, the tedium grows, and interests shift to other outlets. Perhaps it's the current crop of games -- not an unreasonable claim, as the summer is the slow season -- but I think I'm experiencing that slump.
There is nothing truly captivating out there. Nothing that warrants more than a passing glance.
Devil May Cry 3, er... I mean, Ninja Gaiden was played for about an hour before being tossed aside in a fit of rage inspired by the absolutely horrid camera engine. Halo bored me to depths I haven't seen since, well, Final Fantasy XI. Rallisport Challenge 2 is sitting on the shelf, still shrink-wrapped. The last thing I did in Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes was defeat Revolver Ocelot... by standing still in first person mode, shooting him repeatedly. Not surprisingly, that was also the last time I touched the GameCube.
I did play a bit of the Mega Mans and I dusted off some of the Genesis games that I have acquired in the last few months, but even those were brief. I'm just not interested.
A break is needed.
And the timing for such a break couldn't have been better: I'm starting a new job for the rest of the summer this Monday. Hooray.July 11, 2004. Gaming. General.

I know what you mean. Aside from acquainting myself with a PS2 DDR and playing a bit of Rez lately, I'm positively bored, bored, bored with gaming. I also find myself uncharacteristically dispirited about the year's upcoming releases, the presumed heavy hitters most of all. Granted, not all of it's due to simple fatigue...I hit upon a moral quandry about the whole thing a while ago as well, which I might write about at length later....
What's the job? Anything exciting?July 11, 2004 03:06 AM. Posted by: Walter.
I feel your pain. I've been in a slump for the past 6 months or so. The only time I play is when it's multiplayer Halo. Any one player games have lost their appeal. I think a lot of gamers are holding out for the next set of games (Halo 2, HL2, WoW, etc) or for the next systems before they invest more money into their libraries. That seems to be the general feeling anyway.
I also here of people getting addicted to City of Heroes (that's why I'm staying away from it) and other MMORPGS. Perhaps the Console days are being numbered - studies in Japan have already found a decrease in console gamers. The west might be starting to experience something similar.July 12, 2004 12:35 PM. Posted by: Jason.
Well, the whole of the Japanese industry is on a down-turn. A lot of it has to do with multimedia phones rather than MMORPGs and PC gaming, though.
However, I am definitely not holding out. Hell, I'm still *buying* the games... just not playing them. Such an irritating habit.
Moral quandry?July 13, 2004 01:48 PM. Posted by: nowak.
It's funny. I'm noticing more and more gamers posting the same thing over the past year or two as well. When I started feeling this way, I just assumed it was because I was getting older and wasn't interested in games as much. Now I'm not so sure. I'm still very interested in games but I'm looking for "something more". I'm wondering if this is the gaming community as a whole. Many of us have "been there" and "done that". Personally, I'm looking for a game that has a lot more depth to it now. Mindless shoot em up are fun for a bit but unless it has a back story with a purpose to it (and even better some persistence in its game universe), I get pretty tired of it quite quickly.July 19, 2004 02:06 PM.

Fireblossom: Baroque wands or rods of gold and copper and glass, shaped like twisting coiled tapers and tipped with stylized flowerbuds, fireblossoms are so deeply etched and carved that the entire shaft seems to be a meld of glyphs and greenery. Despite appearing like exceptionally ornate sculptures, fireblossoms are in fact enchanted weapons.
By expending a charge, a fireblossom can be made to expel a gout of clinging scarlet flame from its flowery tip. A wand will release a 1'x5'x10' flame, or a single fireorb up to 40' away; a rod may produce 5'x10'x25' of flame, or use a ranged fireorb up to 120' away. A wand deals 1-6 hit points of damage, and a rod 1-10, with half damage again on the round after the fire initially strikes.
Fireblossoms are charged with an elixir resembling a garnet-red, grainy syrup, composed of cinnabar, saltpetre, dragon's blood and red lotus combined with certain specific enchantments. A wand can hold five charges, a rod ten.
Some versions of fireblossoms, rather than crafted in the shape of flowers, resemble baroque serpents who spit flames from their opening jaws.

Among the many issues Republican lawmakers have raised about the gun probe called Fast and Furious is a leak that the lawmakers felt was designed to discredit a whistleblower in the case.
Twenty of the accused were arrested Tuesday, as the 53-count Avila indictment was unsealed. The Avila indictment alleges that from about September 2009 to December 2010, the defendants conspired to purchase hundreds of firearms, including AK-47s, to be illegally exported to Mexico drug cartels, one of which recently has been the target of sanctions.

July 18, 2013 - The latest report for the Venice, Bayou Black and Pearl River.
Rising Rivers
There is a slight rise coming to the rivers in our state. The bump is enough to impact the fishing for the next week or so. Reports this week are good for the Basin, Bayou Black, Venice, Delacroix, and Pearl River. Other rivers along the coast are dependent on local rain fall. Overall, the weather is hot but so is the fishing.
Basin Lighthouse Bassmasters launch out of Bayou Pigeon last week. Skip Rayborn locked in a solid lead in the AOY race with a twelve pound stringer. My day was over around nine because my ten pound stringer did not get any heavier as the day wore on. Grand Lake was the place to be. The water was clean and a pretty green color. Punching an Okeechobee Pit Boss with a 3/8 ounce sinker put five fish in the boat in about 30 minutes. The shady side of the islands in Grand Lake provided cooler water. Later, partner Barry James used a black and blue jig around Cypress trees on the west side of the lake to catch a limit.
Later in the day we headed to Catfish Bayou. The water is not low enough to push the fish out of the woods. Also, with the water rising from the river, it does not look like the water will fall out of the wood for another few weeks. Some of the panfish anglers we spoke to reported having a decent day with perch and crappie(sac-au-lait) throughout the area. Bayou Pigeon was muddy all the way across. The northern edge of the bayou was showing signs of clean water. Again, the rising water was holding the clean water from spilling over into the main bayou.
Venice (and Delacroix)
Media Bass launch from Venice last week. The Mississippi River was around ten feet on the NOLA gauge. Anglers reported Delacroix was where the winners went due to high water in the Venice area. However, anglers reported catching bass in Venice. Hopefully, the fall will be good. Last year's storm and saltwater intrusion made the area tough on bass anglers. There were about 20 limits brought to the scale with a few over ten pounds. Although this is not weights to write home about, the road to recovery is there. The river should be down over the next few weeks to a fishable level. I will keep my ears open for more Venice action.
Bayou Black
If you want to play find the right runout game, Bayou Black is the spot. Business may be location, location, location but bass fishing is all about the honey hole. When the conditions are right, one drain will produce a limit. Start with topwaters like a frog or popper then anglers can punch cover around the drains. Look for falling tides and early or late major feeding periods for the best chance to catch fish.
Pearl River
It still takes about eleven pounds to get a check from the local boys. Often, fifteen or more is what is needed to win. Six months of high water has protected the fish. With the water below flood levels, some big fish are coming to the scales. Topwaters are great early morning tactics. Pitching plastic or rolling a spinnerbait around cover is another tactic after the sun comes up. Like other areas in the state, look for the Pearl to rise over the next few weeks, then fall. After that happens, the West should be hot. Overall, the Pearl is a nice trip for local anglers.

As of Tuesday, August 20, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY — Albany City commissioners were treated to a catered lunch by their state lobbyist at the Albany Fire Department's Training Center Tuesday afternoon, and commissioners used the time to talk issues with a trio of special guests _ members of the area's state legislative delegation.
State Sen. Freddie Powell Sims, D-Dawson, and Reps. Winfred Dukes and Carol Fullerton, both Albany Democrats, strategized with city officials about such issues as funding for city attractions and public safety. State lobbyist Rufus Montgomery welcomed the state and city officials before turning the discussion over to Albany Mayor Dorothy Hubbard.
"We just left a meeting where we talked about funding for Chehaw Park," Hubbard said. "I believe quality-of-life issues are important to our citizens, and we have some quality-of-life entities in dire need."
Dukes said local officials should not expect an infusion of state money to help with operations of attractions like Chehaw and the Flint RiverQuarium.
"The deal was (the state) said, 'We'll build this for you, but that's where the money ends,'" Dukes said. "Look at what's happening all over the state: The Georgia Music Hall of Fame and the Golf Hall of Fame have been shut down. Where you lost your deal was in the construction. There was a $5 million endowment set up to run the facility, but they used all that in construction (overruns).
"Many of us weren't (elected officials) then, but we're the leaders now. We're going to have to find a way to make this work."
The District 150 representative also chastised former Chehaw officials for rebuffing calls to put water attractions at the wild animal park.
"There was a lot of talk about a water slide, and the folks out there said, 'That's beneath us,'" Dukes said. "You know what? So is bankruptcy. We've got to be willing to look at doing some different things. If it doesn't make dollars, it doesn't make sense."
When Ward V City Commissioner Bob Langstaff suggested having the state Department of Natural Resources team with the RiverQuarium as a cost-cutting measure, Fullerton said such a joint venture would be tough, given DNR's budget constraints.
"They've been cut by 40 percent, more than any other department in the state," the District 153 rep said.
Sims said local officials are waiting too late to seek help from state officials.
"We don't need to hear about it when places are about to close," she said. "We have to be proactive (to look for emergency funds), and that puts pressure on all of us. We need to know long before things are going to happen.
"We know where the challenges are (with the RiverQuarium and other attractions). We need to determine how we move forward. We need to fix things and move on."
Langstaff asked the state legislators about public safety issues such as the local juvenile justice program, delayed cleanup of dilapidated structures in the city and employment opportunities for parolees.
"You have to make tougher laws," Dukes said. "In College Park, if you don't cut your grass you don't get a citation, you have to come to court. If you don't show, you go to jail. That's for not cutting grass. They don't play up there."
Ward I Commissioner Jon Howard said the federally mandated closure of nearby state-run mental health facilities will bring "an epidemic" (of potentially dangerous patients) to Albany.
"And what's going to happen when the YDC (youth detention center) closes?" Sims asked. "You guys have got to get a plan in place before these facilities close."

Facebook Personal Data a Security Risk
Making more user information public has both privacy and security dangers, experts warn.
Last month, Facebook finally crossed a line. The company announced that it would make certain user information–including a user's name, hometown, education, work, and "likes" and "dislikes"–permanently public.
Facebook's default privacy policy has gradually shifted to expose more user data to the wider Web, but the reaction to this latest change has been significant. Last week, a collection of European data-protection authorities known as the Article 29 Working Group sent Facebook a letter chastising the company for not allowing users to limit access to their social data. The letter follows a similar criticism of Facebook by several members of congress, such as Sen. Charles Schumer, D-NY, over the past month. The reaction from privacy advocacy groups, and from many of Facebook's users, has also been vocal.
Some experts also say that the increase in information disclosure could have a serious side-effect–opening up new opportunities for hackers. Kevin Johnson, a senior researcher with security firm InGuardians, uses Facebook as a starting point for his job: testing companies' network security. Many times, he says, the most significant vulnerabilities are not in hardware or software, but in a users' use of social networks. The information leaked on social networking sites can be used to impersonate a legitimate person, in order to recover a password, for example; or to trick users into opening a malicious file by making it appear to come from a friend or a colleague.
"As a penetration tester–as an attacker–Facebook's privacy settings have made my job easier," Johnson says. "In the past, before two years ago, we had to trick people into running a [rogue] application [to collect data]. Now, the majority of people out there–the bulk of Facebook–run under default privacy settings."
Pushed by a need to monetize the data entered by users, Facebook has increasingly loosened its privacy policies. In 2005, the company's original policy stated that no information would be shared with people "who [do] not belong to at least one of the groups specified by you in your privacy settings." By 2010, the policy had changed to one that focuses on sharing much more information, stating that applications and Web sites "will have access to General Information about you." The text of the company's privacy policy has grown nearly 500 percent and users are now required to navigate some 50 different privacy settings.
"Facebook says that they are introducing more privacy settings because they want to give users more control, but what they have done is make things more confusing," says Fred Stutzman, a privacy researcher and PhD candidate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "Over time they have made changes that make people's information more open, because that is how they drive the use of the network."
"This is something that is different from how Facebook had been operating," says Kurt Opsahl, a senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation. "In the past, they encouraged sharing that information, but now they have taken information that many people consider private and made it public, and they did so in a very heavy-handed way."

Beyond Reasons
2010-10-14 by Stephen Schuette
There are a couple of challenging aspects to this story. Within Luke's setting there's the invitation to compare the one to whom we pray with an unjust judge. I'd like to talk to Luke about that one and ask him what he was thinking.
Apart from the Lukan context the challenge of the story is that the right thing happens (justice) for all the wrong reasons. What does that mean?
It may mean that the Kingdom comes in its own way and on its own terms and not in the neat, clean way that we imagine if we were in control of the universe.
It may mean that an over emphasis on understanding from our perspective can preoccupy us and blind us to the bend in the universe that opens a new way. I think of St. Francis' prayer: "...grant that I may not so much seek to be...understood as to understand."
It may mean that it's better to set aside a preoccupation with reasons that might lead us to a "half-empty" despair and instead focus on the reason to celebrate any and all signs of justice that come along. In that sense this is similar to the woman who found the lost coin or the shepherd a lost sheep, which, in the end, wasn't everything.
We want the judge to change, to become compassionate and open and sympathetic to the human need and conditions of those who seek justice from him. Apparently that ain't gonna happen. But it doesn't stop justice. Hallelujah, Amen!
Chilean Miners and the Persistent Widow
2010-10-13 by David von Schlichten
Our guest blogger has provided three substantial posts that will excite your thinking about the gospel for this Sunday. Stephen Schuette has also made one of his characteristically valuable contributions.
I've been thinking about the Chilean miners and their rescue, which demonstrated the power of faith, persistence, and teamwork. Our lessons for Sunday emphasize the importance of persistence and faith, and the Bible in general underscores the strength that comes from unity.
Yours in Christ,

Oppositional Transformation
2010-10-13 by Christine Smaller
James Howell ponders in his journal about the impact of the short and simple… like in an operatic aria. He says that we have too many words in our sermons and I feel like replying tartly that I don't think I have nearly enough words in mine (although I suspect my congregants would beg to differ!). I am new to this triple header service marathon each Sunday. I am not complaining – I'm actually enjoying it immensely. I prayed for the opportunity to preach and God answered as God often does… with abundant generosity and a quiet chuckle. But it means I can only really preach for eight or nine minutes… ten if I tighten up the prayers and 12 if there are no children for children's time (but God be praised there are usually children! And teenagers too – who actually seem listen to the sermon!). Mark Twain prefaced a lengthy letter with the words "I apologize for this long letter, but I simply do not have the time to write a short one this week"! Which captures, for me, the problem of short and simple. Because of course Howell is right, and I am just railing against the added difficulty of being concise to an already challenging weekly project of writing a meaningful sermon.
Despite the brevity of the parable of the widow and the judge, the themes spring forth abundantly… and as Holly Hearon suggests in this week's Journal, "the parable is constructed around oppositions". I am finding it tough to narrow the focus of the message for Sunday, here is some of what I've been looking at:
Kingdom: (the here and the not here, the now and the not yet) Jesus' parables seem to speak of kingdom on at least two levels – how it is forming in the present reality of human life and also how comes as an in breaking of God's reign, a taste of the promised future. Yarbrough talks about "Longing for days of the Son of Man"… captures that sense of yearning... deep sighing we have for what should be. The same sense in the Jeremiah reading this week: "the days are surely coming when the Lord will make a new covenant… the day when all will know the Lord and the law will be written in all of our hearts…" This woman getting up every morning to make the journey to the gate house to petition for change – what would she be thinking along the way? I can't help but think of the Chilean miners waiting waiting, keeping each other company while somehow keeping hope for rescue alive. Or for that matter, people who come to church every Sunday in dwindling congregations – making and remaking spiritual community while longing for the return of the church's "golden" years. How do we open ourselves to transformation?: new way of life… living in the kingdom in the here and now… working as co-creators for the coming kingdom and faithfully awaiting kingdom… transforming individually, congregationally, and the world…
Justice: (Just/Unjust) The stark – almost deconstructed contrast of just and unjust in this parable is difficult to unpack… to reconstruct (faithfully) into an accessible message. How do we hold this good guy/bad guy pantomime in tension with the gospel message that we are all loved, all forgiven, all invited into transformation through God's merciful grace?
Faith & Prayer: (you got to have faith to pray… but you have to pray to have faith… but do you want either?) I love how Craddock in his sermon on this parable says… "'Let thy kingdom come.' Let the realm of God, the realm of justice come. Do I really want to pray that? Believing, hoping, trusting it will be true when I know for a fact that if that prayer is answered I will suffer severe dislocation: geographically, and socially, and economically, and professionally because I must fit into thy kingdom come. Do I really want that?"
Shame: I am fascinated by the play on shame in this parable. To begin with, the behaviour of both characters is shameful (or shameless) in a way – the judge who doesn't take his duty seriously and the woman who flaunts convention by insisting on being heard. If everything was truly about honour and shame in Jesus' time and place, then this must have been significant. Kenneth Bailey, in Through Peasant Eyes, says "that the word translated "respect" in the NRSV (entrepomenos) has to do with shame-pride and should be translated 'has no shame' here. This judge 'cannot be shamed.... There is no spark of honor left in his soul to which anyone can appeal". But is there really no spark? If we carefully reconstruct the characters of the widow and the judge, applying layers of flesh and a blood transfusion or two… could that possibility of change of heart be there? When the judge does finally change his mind he says it is because the woman will wear him out… the Greek hypopiaze is used – "she will give me a black eye" But it is such a gruff, sarcastic explanation (covering up something more tender?)… an excuse for taking his duty seriously.
Empowerment: (passive victim/totally consumed crusader) Where is the boundary between being a co-creator of God's kingdom and becoming obsessed with a futile project? The widow here embodies that fragile balance of relying on God and living an active, empowered, faith. But there is a red flag here… living out a faith that degrades one's own agency.. one's own possibilities. Wally Fletcher – in the Journal - captures this well: "Healthy persistence is rooted the positive not the negative— in generosity, in love of truth or beauty, in longing for peace or justice, in hope for the future, in faith in the ultimate goodness of life. Healthy persistence is progressive in outlook and courageous in spirit. Pathological persistence is resistant to progress and defensive in spirit."
Forward, Not Back
2010-10-12 by Stephen Schuette
Ever looked back and reviewed what you said (or didn't say) and thought of what you'd like to go back and say instead? It is perhaps one of life's greatest hazards. Not that we can't learn something with a healthy review of the possibilities that could help us be prepared for the next time. It's the ruminating over it that tends to pull us down and can begin to preoccupy us so that in the next moment we don't respond with what we might have because we were not present in the moment but back somewhere else. Once the snowball takes over it can keep rolling.
Worse yet is the tendency to try to defend what we said. With heels dug in it's hard to make any progress.
Jesus always knows exactly what to say. So why can't I always know exactly what to say as a follower of Jesus? (Even though the answer is obvious it doesn't prevent us from asking, does it?)
Once I let go of an insistence on (or illusion of) my own perfection communication can begin to open up. Letting go of prior moments allows the present moment to be full of new opportunity. What didn't work, didn't work. Giving up isn't going to lead to better communication, that meeting of the souls for which we so deeply long.
I suppose the widow could have given up. She had a lot stacked against her. She had no rights by law. But she did not let the prior evidence and all the experience of failure deter her from trying again. She made it a contest of wills relying on the one resource she had in abundance. She kept looking forward, not back.
In all the readings there's an underlying affirmation of healthy ego strength, something we may not always teach in the Christian tradition. There's often a tendency to make no distinction between ego in excess and ego that is healthy, to everyone's detriment. The eldest members of every congregation I've served all have a bit of Jacob-like chutzpah. Growing old, like being a widow in ancient Israel, is not for the weak or those without will. Neither is faith.
Who, what, when...
2010-10-12 by Christine Smaller
The text of this parable itself presents an immediate challenge in determining who said what and when. The story of the widow and the judge is contained in verses 2-5, but the literary structure strongly suggests the necessity of adding verses 1 and 6-8 to make a contained passage, separate from the text before and after. The text can be separated into four components. It opens with an introduction stating: "Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always and not to lose heart", which appears to be the voice of Luke and could or could not be suggesting that Jesus himself prefaced or explicated the parable in such a way that made the purpose and meaning of its telling clear. The core parable itself is attributed to Jesus, as remembered and re-told by Luke. The passage then continues with three lines which interpret the parable. These lines open with the command: "And the Lord said", suggesting that the balance of those lines is also attributable to Christ. Finally, there is the question: "And yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?" which seems to be departure from all that precedes it in the passage.
The eight verses clearly are meant to be read together, but this can be seen in the grammatical connections between the components "then Jesus told them…", "and the Lord said, 'listen to what the unjust judge says…", "and, yet…" more than in the content. It is simply not obviously apparent how the substance of the passage hangs together and in The Parables of Jesus, Arland Hultgren notes that indeed "[t]he question of the unity of 18:1-8 is disputed". He states that there is substantial agreement, however, about the structure of the passage: "Clearly 18:1 is Luke's introduction. Clearly also the parable consists of at least 18:2-5. The next two and a half verses (18:6-8a) are an application. The final saying (18:8b) is an addition either from tradition or due to composition by the evangelist, to the foregoing material."
The introduction fulfils the function of directing the listener's interpretation of the story. By prefacing the parable with explicit guidance to listen for Christ's intention to tell about the "need to pray always", Luke begins the interpretation process for the listener. This directing of the listener's focus can be argued to be in line with Luke's special interest in prayer but the narrow focus would also have the effect of potentially eliminating all other interpretations of the parable. As though there is a concern that the introduction is not directive enough, the parable is followed by a specific interpretation as told in verses 6-8a. This text explains that the parable teaches that if an unjust judge will grant justice to a widow, then surely God will quickly grant justice to the chosen.
There is great debate about whose voice is actually heard in verses 6- 8a. Among the possibilities presented the Jesus Seminar determined that while the core parable rated a "pink" stamp of "probably Jesus", the remaining verses were seen as not at all consistent with Jesus' teachings. This suggests that the parable itself may have been told by Jesus in such a way that would invite very different interpretations. At the other end of the spectrum we hear the argument that indeed the parable is incomplete without the interpretation and that "[t]he objections to the genuineness of verses 6b-8a are inconsequential. On the other hand, the parable, if it stood alone, would be indeterminate, and thus meaningless. It is a parable which requires an interpretation if it is to have specific meaning."[1] This approach would likely take verses 2-8a as the actual parable following the traditional Jewish form of mashal (the description of the interaction between the judge and the widow) and a nimshal (explaining what the story means). One can see how adding the interpretive component assists in effectively teaching those to whom the parable is addressed.
Clearly, teaching is a component of parables and there is no doubt that both Jesus and Luke were consciously and intentionally teaching others although it appears that at least Luke was not consciously concerned about what the term "parable" meant or how it should be employed. But to suggest that a parable is simply a teaching tool, an illustration or an example story may not reveal the complexity of Jesus' parables in form and function. Jesus was very familiar with the genre of parables and used this traditional type of rhetorical device in a new way which invited listeners to somehow find a new world within the parabolic story. Finding this new perspective involves risk, as the listener is encouraged to suspend his or her ideas of how things should work out in the story and also to make oneself vulnerable enough to put oneself in the midst of the drama. In this way, the parable becomes a world in which the listener can be called to consider a new way of life. When this happens, Robert Funk suggests that "[t]he 'meaning' of the parable is the way auditors take up roles in the story and play out the drama. Response will very from person to person and from time to time. The parable is perpetually unfinished. The story continues to tell itself, to 'tell' its hearers."
But what does the parable continue to tell? Just by virtue of the fact that Jesus told parables and did not simply attempt to transfer information from his own brain into others, suggests that parables do much more than just tell about the content contained within each one. Because Jesus told parables instead of unambiguous lessons, there is an unavoidable challenge to think and re-think about the story and its meaning for each individual. But it is very human to want to arrive at resolution in confusing matters, rather than living with the tension of uncertainty. Perhaps, however, Jesus intended to encourage the listener to stay for a while in the world of each parable and this is why not all parables contain the traditional nimshal. Without a voice of authority clarifying any uncertain elements the listener is given the freedom to engage with Jesus' word in a variety of way.
The parable of the widow and the judge is particularly bereft of clues as to what meaning(s) should be taken. If we operate on the assumption that Jesus told the parable found in verses 2-5 at some time, in some place to some people and that verses 1 and 6-8 were cannot be attributed to Jesus, then it could be argued that there was significant concern about leaving the parable open to interpretation, about keeping the parable alive so that it could be revisited again and again. If one of the purposes, and results, of parables is to affect change in the listener there may have been some concern about the dangers in the broad possibilities of change that could be effected. While there is a risk for the listener to enter into the parable, it appears that there may also be a risk to anyone who transmits a parable "as is". The danger is that the listeners will then enter into the world of the parable themselves and take up the challenge to learn something new from it – something in direct contradiction to what the transmitter wishes to teach or uphold. And yikes… this week I am one of the transmitters!

Wal-Mart will pay $11 million to settle charges it used illegal immigrants to clean its stores.
Since 1998, federal authorities have uncovered cases of at least 250 illegal immigrants who were employed by janitor contracting services and hired by the retailing giant.
In October 2003, several illegal immigrants were arrested in a raid at a Wal-Mart outlet in Valley (Chambers County).
An attorney in the case says many of the janitors worked seven days or nights a week without overtime pay or injury compensation. He says those who worked nights were often locked in the store until the morning.
The $11 million settlement clears Wal-Mart of the federal allegations.

University of Exeter celebrates Chinese New Year
Posted: February 18, 2013|
The University of Exeter celebrated Chinese New Year this weekend with events in the city and on the Streatham Campus.
The Chinese New Year is the biggest and most important festival in China. 2013 is the Year of the Snake and is the sixth sign of the Chinese Zodiac, which consists of twelve animal signs.
On Saturday Dragon and Lion dancers paraded through the city, starting in Buffet City and ending in Bedford Square.
The parade then continued to The Forum on Streatham Campus where there wass a Chinese Market, food, martial arts demonstrations, performances and activities for everyone.
As part of the biggest Chinese celebrations in the city there was also a firework display viewable from The Forum in the evening.
In many cultures, snakes mean fear, but in the Chinese horoscope, the snake is endowed with luck, love, longevity and wealth. The people who are born in the year of the snake are wise, calm and careful. The Snake is also called Junior Dragon by Chinese people.
Ryan Siyi Dong is a second year PhD student in Mathematics and head of the Chinese Society who have organised the activities. He explained the meaning of Chinese New Year: "It is about reunion and the love from family becomes the most important reason to gather as a group. This celebration binds our hearts together with our family members. It reminds us the past year is fallen and the New Year has risen. We will wish for a better life for the coming year.
He added: "Before I left my hometown to study abroad, the best part of the Chinese New Year celebration was the family party. Everyone would have a dinner at home, we'd drink and exchange the gifts or red paper envelopes (which contains money as a gift), then fireworks. Unfortunately, for many Chinese students we can't go home, so the Chinese Society is a kind of big family of Chinese students. Our society members would like to create an atmosphere like home to let the students know they are not alone. We devote ourselves to passing the love to one another."
The celebrations are presented by the Chinese Student Scholars Association (CSSA) and supported by University of Exeter, Students Guild and Streetwise Fund.
Sue O'Hara Student Support Events and Campaigns Manager said: "We're very excited to be hosting the annual Chinese New Year celebration at the Forum this year. The University has a good reputation for hosting student-led cultural events and Chinese New Year is always well attended by students, staff and local residents. This will be the perfect venue for our Chinese student community to share their culture with us. I personally can't wait to see the Dragons and Lions dancing on the Great Hall Piazza."

Born in Pontiac, Illinois on January 17, 1878, Harry Bay became an outstanding prep sprinter for Peoria High during the closing years of the 19th century. While records of that era are not totally reliable, IHSA track records indicate that Bay led Peoria High to a 2nd place finish in the 1897 state meet. He finished 2nd in the 50 yard dash, 3rd in the 100 and 2nd in the high jump. Peoria High records show he also won the 220 low hurdles in a state record time of 29 seconds fiat at that meet. Records agree that Bay also medaled at the `96 meet.
By 1901 Harry Bay was playing center field for the National League Cincinnati club. He appeared in 41 games and hit .210. Traded to Cleveland of the American League, Bay hit .293 during the 1902 season and stayed with Cleveland for 7 seasons.
Nicknamed "Deerfoot" because of his speed, Bay stole a league-leading 45 bases in 1903 and added 38 more the following season. He retired after the 1908 season with impressive stats:
a .277 career batting average, 413 runs scored, 730 hits and 169 stolen bases. He also held a major league record, having caught 11 fly balls in one 9 inning game. That record stood until 1929. Bay was clocked at 3.5 seconds getting from home to first base.
Harry returned to Peoria after his playing days and became a celebrated trumpet and coronet player in the Peoria Municipal and American Legion bands. He was also bandleader at the Apollo
theater before "talkies" arrived. Bay spent several years on the vaudeville circuit teamed with Guy Kibbee.
Well connected politically, Harry Bay served a long stint as secretary to the Peoria fire department and then finished his working career as a license examiner for the Illinois Secretary of State office.
On March 19, 1952, Harry Elbert "Deerfoot" Bay died, at age 74 at his home at 108 Baldwin Street, in Peoria. Here's an excerpt from Kenny Jones' column at the time of Bay's death. "We vividly remember an appearance of Harry at an "old timer's day" program Woodruff field about twenty years ago. Dressed in an old uniform, Harry took a turn at bat and hit a roller to short. Harry hadn't taken more than a few strides before the crowd realized that they were in for a special and unheralded treat. Bay, still showing the light-footed grace that he must have shown in the big leagues sped down the basepath with amazing speed for a man of his age. He beat the throw and must have thoroughly enjoyed the hearty applause the fans gave him for an unexpected performance."

Ack, now you got me all
It takes me three days just to wake up in the morning.
It's been so long since I've been here at RWCN and I'm deeply saddened to the demise of the GMoC.
So I guess I'm just here to pay my respects. Glad to see some stores are still available elsewhere.
Thanks to all who have worked so hard to make this such a rich and vibrant place. Sorry to hear the GMoC is gone. Much success to everyone in their new stores or their new endeavors

Five injured in running of the bullsComment on this story
Pamplona, Spain - One thrill-seeker was gored in a leg and four others slightly injured as thousands of adrenaline-fueled runners raced ahead of six fighting bulls in the streets of the northern Spanish city of Pamplona in the first running of the bulls of this year's San Fermin festival, officials said Saturday.
Runners, in traditional white clothing and red kerchiefs around their necks, tripped over each other or fell in the mad daredevil annual rush along early morning dew-moistened slippery streets to the city's bull ring.
One youth got the top of his shirt caught on a bull's horn, inches from his face, and was dragged several yards (meters) along the ground, but was seen to get up and run away.
The gored runner, meanwhile, was taken to a local hospital and four others were treated for cuts and bruises, said Red Cross spokesman Jose Aldaba.
The San Fermin running of the bulls festival became world famous with the publication of Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel "The Sun Also Rises." It is also known around the world for its wild all-night street parties which commemorate the city's patron saint.
On Saturday, the massive bulls belonging to the Dolores Aguirre breeding ranch raced from a holding pen on the outskirts of town, where they spent the night before the run, along a 849-meter (928-yard) course to the ring in 2 minutes, 53 seconds, a relatively slow time.
The last bull in the pack became disoriented and charged into the ring several seconds after the leaders. Once in the bullring it caused panic as it chased several runners around before being coaxed into the safety of stables by cape waving attendants.
"Running with the bulls was the best experience I've had, so much adrenaline," said Mark Martinez, 27, a student from Los Angeles, California, who said he was in Spain on a 10-day vacation. "I couldn't touch the horns, I might try that tomorrow," he said, clearly oblivious to a basic rule of the centuries-old fiesta that runners should never touch the ornery animals that can weigh some 500-plus kilogram (1,100-pounds).
"Spain is different to anything I've experienced before," said Michael Arraztoa, 25, from Bakersfield, California. He said his dad was from originally from Irurita, not far from Pamplona, and that he too was over on summer vacation.
The 8 a.m. runs take place daily until July 14 with each charge broadcast on state television. And then, on the afternoon of each day, the same bulls face matadors in the ring. - Sapa-AP

|Dual antennular chemosensory pathways can mediate orientation by Caribbean spiny lobsters in naturalistic flow conditions.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 15371486 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Benthic crustaceans rely on chemical stimuli to mediate a diversity of behaviors ranging from food localization and predator avoidance to den selection, conspecific interactions and grooming. To accomplish these tasks, Caribbean spiny lobsters (Panulirus argus) rely on a complex chemosensory system that is organized into two parallel chemosensory pathways originating in diverse populations of antennular sensilla and projecting to distinct neuropils within the brain. Chemosensory neurons associated with aesthetasc sensilla project to the glomerular olfactory lobes (the aesthetasc pathway), whereas those associated with non-aesthetasc sensilla project to the stratified lateral antennular neuropils and the unstructured median antennular neuropil (the non-aesthetasc pathway). Although the pathways differ anatomically, unique roles for each in odor-mediated behaviors have not been established. This study investigates the importance of each pathway for orientation by determining whether aesthetasc or non-aesthetasc sensilla are necessary and sufficient for a lobster to locate the source of a 2 m-distant food odor stimulus in a 5000-liter seawater flume under controlled flow conditions. To assess the importance of each pathway for this task, we selectively ablated specific populations of sensilla on the antennular flagella and compared the searching behavior of ablated animals to that of intact controls. Our results show that either the aesthetasc or the non-aesthetasc pathway alone is sufficient to mediate the behavior and that neither pathway alone is necessary. Under the current experimental conditions, there appears to be a high degree of functional overlap between the pathways for food localization behavior.

Selfie lands Chula Vista church burglary suspects in jail
CHULA VISTA, Calif. - Call it a case of "selfie incrimination."
A man who took an arms-outstretched photo of himself with a cellphone found this week at the scene of a South Bay church burglary was in custody Wednesday along with two alleged accomplices.
Thieves broke into the house of worship in the 300 block of L Street in Chula Vista on Monday. Once inside, they broke the door down into the pastor's office and left a mess around the desks and file cabinets that they had ransacked.
They took cash and a laptop computer, according to police. The crooks also forcibly entered a recreational vehicle parked on the property and looted watches and pursues from inside it. Total losses were estimated at about $10,000.
Investigators came across the errant mobile phone while gathering evidence at the site, searched its contents and found the "selfie" picture of a man sporting a beanie and white-rimmed sunglasses, Capt. Lon Turner said.
"(A) detective recognized where the photo was taken and went there," the captain said. "Witnesses in the area recognized the suspect and indicated other areas to check."
On Tuesday, detectives arrested the subject of the photo, Adam Charles Howe, 26. A search of his belongings allegedly uncovered property stolen during the burglaries at Hilltop Tabernacle Church.
Officers located the other two suspects, 19-year-old Victoria Miranda Corey and Mario Nava, 27, in a riverbed area behind the chapel. A tent they apparently had been using for shelter contained more valuables filched during the break-ins, according to police.

Voters approved a $31 million school spending plan Tuesday night with 60 percent casting a favorable ballot, officials said. The measure passed by a vote of 376 to 249.
The district had a lot riding on the vote. A defeat would have triggered nearly $1 million in cuts, including offering only half-day kindergarten, eliminating several teaching assistant jobs and cutting modified and junior varsity sports.
The first budget vote failed by only 26 votes, prompting officials to resubmit the ...

Place on the cupcakes. Use a little bit of white icing to glue a chocolate chip into the center of each eye for the pupil.
Mix the remaining frosting with red food coloring to make pink. Use the pink icing to draw smiling mouths and nostrils or even tongues on the frogs.

An Iowa City man faces a domestic abuse charge after he allegedly hit his soon-to-be-child's mother several times Friday morning.
Iowa City police officers responded to a Davis Street residence after the victim claimed Richard Davis, 24, came to her home and accused her of contracting a sexually transmitted disease.
Davis allegedly punched the victim's face, and when she turned away, he reportedly pulled her shirt over her head and hit her in the face multiple times before pushing her to the ground, according to the complaint. The victim sustained a major injury to her face and was transported to the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics, according to the complaint.
Davis reportedly fled the scene before officers arrived. Officers attempted to locate Davis by canvassing the area and speaking with a second woman carrying Davis' child.
Davis was charged with domestic abuse assault with intent or displays a weapon, an aggravated misdemeanor. Davis was booked at the Johnson County Jail on Sunday morning, where he is currently being held on a $20,000 bond.

How do you say potassium? That should give the clueless PO-TASH crowd, and their newly minted word, a clue.
Interestingly, I made a similar observation in Gimme Credit when Daimler bought Chrysler (they couldn't agree on the pronunciation. Of Daimler) and you all know what became of that merger.
I charted POT against Agricultural Commodities. The 6 month chart tells a good story:
Look how poorly POT was doing against its economic backdrop. BHP saw this, and the second it put a bid in, POT rocketed up to reflect the move in underlying commodities since July. The trend in Agro Commodities seems to be pointing up, so you know why Potash would decline BHP's offer.
I grew up in the Midwest, and we always said, "POT'-ash". I even heard Jim Craamer last night say "pu- TISH"! What the h*** is that?
The word potash is a compound of "pot" and "ash," showing how the salts were first made.
More importantly that how to pronounce potash, is the purpose for which it is used - primarily as a fertilizer or organic soil enrichment for agriculture. As the economy spirals (fast or slow) agriculture is always impacted (trade) with other countires also drives the underlying fundamentals associated with its value.
POTASH! just as it's read.. -3- why is it so hard haha
Putt yer ash raght over heah nexta me.
I just heard a commentator call it po-tash.
Matt Simpson on the weather channel pronounced it po tash.

Spotted Orb Weavers spin orb-shaped webs that are up to 2 feet in diameter. During the day, they usually hide in a curled leaf near the edge of their web. Individuals can vary in color: some appear more orange/red while others are more yellowish-brown. The markings on their abdomen can also vary between individuals in this species. Some have a pronounced 'cross' on their abdomen; others have darker zigzag stripes down by the end of the abdomen. All of them have the bristles on their abdomen, legs, head and thorax.
Spotted Orb Weavers can be found in woodlands, chaparral, fields, gardens, parks and backyards. They are active mostly between May and August. These hairy spiders are nocturnal, but it isn't unusual to see one during the day.
Females lay eggs in a sac spun from their silk. It hangs near the web until the spiderlings hatch. Although spiders are usually the hunter, the spiderlings of this species are frequent targets for mud dauber wasps.

Coleman 'a unique individual'
District reception honors departing CHS principal
Those who know him well said Joe Coleman's goodbye speech was typical "Dr. Coleman."
In his speech, Coleman said little about himself.
Instead, he recognized his staff and friends who helped him in his six years in San Angelo. He thanked his wife and two young daughters for being patient in his busy life as principal of Central High School.
Coleman, 40, then read off a Top 10 list of things he will miss about San Angelo.
No. 1 is his students.
"Dr. Coleman is probably the most down-to-Earth person I know," said Beauty Minix, mother of a Central graduate. "If you have any questions about anything, he will tell you this is how it is. I've never been to Central without him making it feel like home."
Coleman leaves the district Friday to take over as principal at Willowridge High School near Houston. He starts his new job Monday, which leaves him little time to be emotional, he said.
Central High School, one of two high schools in the San Angelo district, has 2,155 students. Willowridge has 1,500 students and is one of 10 high schools in the Fort Bend Independent School District.
District administrators are still seeking applicants in the search for Coleman's replacement. As principal, Coleman was paid about $98,600 to oversee the sprawling central San Angelo campus.
More than 100 people came to say goodbye to Coleman during a reception on the campus. Coleman walked into a room with his family to applause. Minutes later a line formed, people waiting to hug Coleman and wish him well.
Minix, whose daughter Lyric Ross just graduated from Central, said the students will miss their former principal.
"Not only do I hear great things from my child, but I hear great things from other students," Minix said. "Joe Coleman is a household name."
Garland Freeze, president of the San Angelo NAACP chapter, has gotten to know Coleman well through their work with the organization. Coleman is group secretary.
Watching Coleman work with the students at Central has been "phenomenal," he said.
High school students are beginning to "feel their way" and find out who they are. Having a principal as involved as Coleman is important to that development, Freeze said.
"I'm going to tell you, he is a unique individual," Freeze said. "He's special. I can't believe the number of students on campus, and each one, he could call by name and say something personal about them. It's a special person that can do that."
Coleman said he appreciates the people who turned out to say goodbye.
"I'm excited about the opportunity I have," he said. "It's going to be different. I'm starting all over, but I know I will get the support I need."
Central graduates Austin Osmanski and Jacob Banks said they wanted to attend the event to pay their respects to someone who has done a lot to help the school.
"Dr. Coleman cares about every single one of his students," Osmanski said. "He is the most influential person at Central High School. It's definitely worthwhile to come out here and say 'Thank you.'"

A lot of homeowners are confused by title insurance. Is it optional? Is it something you may not need, like an extended warranty on an appliance? What exactly does it insure, anyway?
The answers are pretty simple. Let's start with why you need it.
Before you go into a closing, it's critical to know that your title to the property will be free and clear. This means that, after the closing, it will be free of prior indebtedness or other defects or encumbrances. It is then what is called a "marketable title...
There are a lot of players in a real estate transaction. It's not as easy as buying, say, a car, where there are just you and the dealer and a lender whom you probably never see.
But from the moment you start looking for a home or property to buy, you're dealing with a large cast of characters, and sometimes their roles may be a little confusing. These explanations should help you sort them out.
Probably the aspect of the real estate buying process that people find most confusing is the vocabulary of new and confusing terms. Nothing is more disorienting than to be in conversation or, worse, negotiations with someone who is using a lot of words you don't understand. Therefore, it's important for the non-professional real estate buyer or seller to become familiar with the lingo.

Citizens United and Americans for Prosperity Foundation are teaming up to bring grassroots activists from across New Hampshire to hear directly from national conservative leaders on Saturday, April 12, 2014.
So far confirmed speakers include: Senator Rand Paul; Senator Mike Lee; Governor Mike Huckabee; Speaker Newt Gingrich; Representative Marsha Blackburn; Mr. Donald Trump; AEI President Arthur Brooks.
The Freedom Summit will focus on how we can get America back on a course that adheres to the conservative bedrock principles the Granite State has been known for and comes just three days before millions of Americans file their income taxes.
This event will highlight speakers who are helping America return to the ideals of hope, growth, and opportunity that have made our country a beacon of freedom. It is important that we refocus on the principles that this nation was founded upon. We are a nation founded on the right of the individual, not the expanding power and influence of government, and we are proud to host an event with speakers who will focus on individual liberty and the vision of our Founding Fathers.
The Freedom Summit will be open to the public, so please sign up early to attend and we encourage you to also sign up friends and family! We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, April 12th in Manchester for the inaugural Freedom Summit.
This event is being hosted by Americans For Prosperity's sister organization: Americans For Prosperity Foundation.

When Doc Hendley was in Darfur, Sudan, about seven years ago, his mission to restore clean water in the country went through hostile beginnings.
He witnessed government-sponsored genocide. Janjaweed terrorists wouldn't use bullets to kill their own people; they'd destroy 10,000-liter clean water tanks, the people's only access to clean water.
Other times, they'd dump rotten corpses in tanks and make the people suffer. ...
