Frequently asked questions
- General
- Branches
- Investments
- To which Fund should I donate?
- The Mother Church as Pass-Through Entity
Question: What is my Per Capita Tax?
Answer: The Church Manual states "Every member of The Mother Church shall pay annually a per capita tax of not less than one dollar, which shall be forwarded each year to the Church Treasurer"(p.44:12, SECT. 13). For members, the first contribution to the General Fund (unrestricted donation) during a given year satisfies payment of the Per Capita Tax.
Question: How can I change/update my credit card information?
Answer: You may call us at 800-288-7155 , ext. 3288. We do not accept credit card information via email.
Question: I did not receive my annual PCT form! I did not receive my receipt! Who can I contact?
Answer: Contact our Philanthropy team by email at email@example.com, or by phone at 800-288-7155 , ext. 3288.
Question: What happened to my Membership card usually issued with my PCT?
Answer: Church membership cards were not issued until the early 1970s when they were needed for admission to Annual Meeting. About 10 years ago, membership cards were no longer needed to enter Annual Meeting. As a result, there is currently no Church business use for them and therefore they are no longer provided.
Question: Who can I contact regarding my new and established Gift Annuities or Charitable Remainder Trusts? What about my payments, tax issues, address or banking changes, or even issues being handled by those possessing Power of Attorney, as well as executors?
Answer: Contact our Trust Officers by email at firstname.lastname@example.com, or by phone at 617-450-3258.
Question: Do you need information about benevolence or our restricted funds?
Answer: Contact our Financial Assistance Administrator by email at firstname.lastname@example.com, or by phone at 617-450-3267.
Question: Are you an Attorney, Trustee, Executor or Personal Representative? Do you have questions about an outside trust or estate?

Branch Church FAQ
From time to time, Branch Church members are interested to know if The Mother Church offers guidance regarding Branch Church giving to The Mother Church. Members want to know:
Question: Should Branch Churches give a portion of their Sunday collection to The Mother Church? If so, how much and how often?
Does the yearly per capita tax apply to Branch Churches as well as to individuals?
How much should Branch Churches give to The Mother Church?
Answer: Guidance about giving to The Mother Church is best sought from The Manual of The Mother Church, by Mary Baker Eddy. For individual giving, the Manual provides:
"Every member of The Mother Church shall pay annually a per capita tax of not less than one dollar, which shall be forwarded each year to the Church Treasurer" (Eddy, Sect. 13)
The Manual does not provide any guidance for giving to The Mother Church. However, the Manual does tell us how Branches may make decisions.
"In Christian Science each branch church shall be distinctly democratic in its government, and no individual, and no other church shall interfere with its affairs" (Eddy, Sect. 10).
As a result, giving to The Mother Church is left to the discretion of each Branch Church.
Question: My Branch Church or Association has received or acquired funds in excess of what we currently use.
Answer: Many Branch Churches and Associations, when faced with this situation, have found it helpful to establish a special trust with The Mother Church. For more information, please visit our web page, http://members.christianscience.com/giving/for-branch-churches-societies-associations/

Question: How should I invest my funds?
Answer: From time to time, members have asked us how to invest their funds, or those of their Branch Church or Association. It is important to note that, for The Mother Church, the process of deciding how to invest is just as important as the act of investment. This process primarily consists of:
- Prayer
- Seeking out professional advice appropriate to the circumstances.
For this reason, we recommend that you use this same process when thinking about your own investments. We cannot give financial advice because we are not financial advisors. It is in your best interest to contact a trusted local financial professional to help with financial planning, both individual or for a Branch Church of Association.
Because of its size, The Mother Church consults with a number of institutional investment managers that specialize in managing funds for endowment, pension, foundations and other larger organizations. These managers have account sizes that begin at $2 million and can be much higher. As a result, they are not practical advisors for many smaller organizations or individuals.
The Church's 5-person Investment Committee oversees our investments. An institutional investment consulting firm advises the Committee. This advice is tailored to The Mother Church's unique size, needs, and constraints. To appropriately meet your goals, you would want advice that is tailored to your own unique size, needs, and constraints.
Question: How does The Mother Church screen investments for medical companies?
Answer: Many Branch Churches and Associations desire to identify investments that are screened for compatibility with Christian Science. Often stocks that some members may feel are inappropriate to own represent industry sectors that are pervasive and generally profitable. As a result, many investment managers insist upon including such stocks in a portfolio.
The solution for The Mother Church involves working with institutional investment managers to identify or to establish investments that are suited best to larger organizations and often require very significant minimum funding amounts of many millions of dollars. We recognize that the issue of screening investments may present a challenge which may not have an easy solution, and calls for careful thought and prayer.
Trusts with The Mother Church: In some instances, many individuals, Branch Churches and Associations have found it helpful to set up a trust with The Mother Church. These trusts, while irrevocable, can provide annual income to support you or your Branch Church or Association. You may find more information about these trusts on our website.
We would be happy to speak to you about the trust option.

I want to make a donation to The Mother Church. To which fund should I donate?
The General Fund*
*If you are a member of The Mother Church, your first donation to the General Fund is counted as payment of your Per Capita Tax.
The General Fund provides support for all of the worldwide activities of The Mother Church.
The Cause of Christian Science is advancing throughout the world. This growth has been supported by the advent and availability of new technology. The online messages and communities we share with each other allow us to identify and respond more quickly to needs as they arise. This increases the need for flexibility. The General Fund provides for the greatest flexibility for the Church to meet changing needs quickly.
The online giving page lists current funds available. At present, fund options other than the General Fund are:
The Mother Church Endowment Fund
The Christian Science Monitor Operating Fund
The Mary Baker Eddy Library Fund
The Mother Church as a "Pass Through" Entity
Question: I would like to donate to my Branch Church, Association, or other charity through The Mother Church. Also, I might like to ultimately donate to my Branch Church or other charity while receiving income for life from The Mother Church. Can
The Mother Church help establish such a giving arrangement?
The Mother Church is unable to receive a donation from a contributor, pay income to the beneficiary, then pass the remaining funds to another charity designated by the donor. The Mother Church cannot act in this way, as a "pass through" entity acting on behalf of the other charity. Some financial institutions may act as "pass through" entities. We recommend speaking with your financial advisor about these institutions.
A charity, such as a Branch Church or Association, may not be the annuitant (the income beneficiary) of a charitable gift annuity.
A charitable remainder unitrust with The Mother Church may be possible for those who would like to give a remainder gift to The Mother Church, while a separate charity beneficiary receives a portion of the income payments (usually 5% of the value of the trust, paid quarterly). If another charity is designated as a remainderman of the trust, The Mother Church must also be designated to receive at least 50% of the remaining trust funds. Please note that organizations established outside of the United States may not be the remainder beneficiary of a charitable remainder unitrust.

I´ve always been a huge fan of washed out old school t-shirts from the 80s,
so I though, why not make our own?
The dischange print will most likely last for a life time!
This is also one of our few shirts without our classic logo.
Printed in Sweden on the ecological & superior quality Eart Positive 03 Tees.
These bastards are expensive (as blanks I mean) but apparently they're
eco friendly (which must be a good thing) and if you ask me they have an
even better feel than the FJ01-variant we use as blanks for almost every
other t-shirt so once again, I gladly offer a 100% money back guarantee
if the quality does not live up to your expectations but I swear that you'll
love them, check out the reviews at the bottom of this page and as always -
make sure to check the measurements below too! Much love! //LONDON

Awesome. If 1.5 makes the same amount of "changes for the better" as 1.4 was for 1.3, you should have the main program "ready-for-primetime" as they say (it will just be the plugins that are beta). I can't wait to get some sample source so I can start comming up with 1-million requests for the plugin-archetecture .
BTW: Awesome move putting Exit/Shutdown/Hibernate in the button-config. For some reason I always click Home or Apps before remembering that Exit is on the Tools window. Now it's on all 3 LOL. I'll remove it from the other 2 once I am done needing to exit all the time in order to tweak settings and skins (should be about 2 months after you are done with 2.0 and have no 2.1 betas yet ). Anyway, I say put as many possible commands in to buttonactions.xml as you can possibly think of. And make more of the buttons in to the xml too so that we can custom configure it all (phone, speech, gamma, FF, REW, eye, and all volume buttons are all things that some people need and others don't).
PS: It would eventually be nice to be able to configure all of that from within some advanced settings mode in CF, rather than having to edit XML files in a seperate app and with CF closed. I know, I know... the requests never stop coming do they? I just love "feature creep". I have been meaning to do a lot of this in SKINbedder myself, but I have to focus on getting a new skin method for v3.0 done first, so I do realize "configuration UI" does have to come later (once the configuration stops changing LOL).
I was thinking about this and being able to customize Start, Resume, and Exit scripts is definatly cool, however, when CF is set to run as the shell, I still think it should just automatically run everything in the registry under RunOnce and Run (plus maybe everything in the All Users StartUp folder).Originally Posted by veetid
This script only runs when the system boots from scratch right? When the system resumes from hyber, standby is there a way to execute this script?Originally Posted by anky1

and run your "extras" as services.
Here a new but somewhat related request... When you exit CF it auto-runs explorer, but that just brings up an explorer window, not the explorer shell. Anyway to fix that?
It would be really cool if I could just run an explorer SHELL embeded in CF .

PrecisionCraft and M.T.N. Design Are Honored Once Again For Exceptional Log Home Design
The 2012 Country's Best Log Cabins Design Awards have been announced and PrecisionCraft has once again been recognized in two categories for custom design excellence.
This year, the editors of Country's Best Log Cabins reviewed 76 plans from top design firms and chose winners and honorable mentions in six categories. Twelve awards were distributed for log homes and specified room designs that were exemplary in their respective categories.
The first honor awarded to PrecisionCraft Log and Timber Homes was for a modified version of their Beartooth master bedroom. A corner fireplace and two decks flanking the exterior walls are just two features of the bedroom that helped the design win best in its category.
The second honor bestowed on PrecisionCraft was for the unique, compartmentalized design of the master bathroom in a concept based off of their Rimrock log home plan. Dual vanities, dark accents and secluded design are what brought the unanimous vote for Best Master Bathroom.
"Each award or recognition we receive is validation of our commitment to customization and design excellence," said James Banner, Vice President of Marketing. "Our clients choose to work with us because they can see that quality of design in our homes. They know that we are capable of creating the mountain-style home of their dreams."

Creative Teaching - Teaching Creativity
Saebø, Aud Berggraf, McCammon, Laura A., O'Farrell, Larry, Caribbean Quarterly
The concept of creativity in education has arisen all over the world, particularly in the developed countries. There are two important reasons for this interest. In the industrial nations, where technological and manufacturing jobs are being outsourced to other countries, there is a need for a new generation of workers who are creative and innovative. Further on a growing knowledge of the value of creativity in developing a student's capacity to learn in a wide range of educational subjects. The concept of creativity in education is currently being stressed by European and global school assessment programmes, since no country wants its educational system to be rated below average.
In 2002 The USA Secretary of Education claimed that if USA and American youngsters are to succeed in turning into a "service-driven enterprise" instead of a "manufacturing-driven enterprise", they will need an education that develops imaginative, flexible and tough-minded dunking, and states that the arts powerfully nurture the ability to think in this manner (Fiske, 2002). Nevertheless an article in the New York Times by Sam Dillon, in March 2006, reported mat schools all over in USA had reduced arts programmes to emphasize reading, writing and mathematics for students with low test scores in these subjects. At the same time the senior associate for research at Art Education Partnership - AEP (www.aep-arts.org) says that the challenge to education must never be simply to raise test scores, which is a relatively recent and limited goal. The challenge must be to raise citizens who are capable of active participation in the community, and the arts can help in realizing a vision creating this kind of democracy (Stevensen, 2005, p. 5).
In England researchers have put creativity on the agenda as a central element in education (Craft, 2005; Craft, Jeffrey, & Leibling, 2001; Fisher & Williams, 2004; Wilson, 2005). In response to the British NACCCE report in 1999, "All our futures", which said that no education system can be world-class without valuing and integrating creativity in teaching and learning, research projects and research cooperation on the concept of creativity have been initiated (www.creative-partnership.com) in England.
UNESCO is committed to promoting the Arts in Education. It has proclaimed that "Creativity is our hope" and that the schools of the twenty-first century must be able to anticipate the new needs of children and youngsters in relation to adverse effects from changes in the family and in society, by according a special place to the teaching of artistic values and subjects in order to encourage creativity, which is a distinctive attribute of the human species. UNESCO held a world conference on "Arts in Education" in March 2006 to foster creative aesthetic work and creative thinking in education in both developed and developing countries (www.unesco.org).
It would appear that the discourse that creativity is good for the economy, good for the individual, good for society and good for education, is gaining ground and continually evolving. Later, we will examine the emergence of this argument in three countries represented by the authors of this article.
The concept of creativity in education - a short history
The focus on creativity in education is by no means a recent innovation. Research on creativity has, according to Jeffrey and Craft (2001, p. 2), developed in four themes from the 1950's to the present, each with its own distinctive focus. In the 1950's the focus was on the individual, on genius and giftedness, and on the personality of the person who creates. As a result of this trend, the focus in the 1960's concentrated on measurable outcome and tests of creative ability related to cognition. Then in the 1970's the emphasis shifted to connecting creativity with imaginativeness and the need to stimulate creativity. Finally, during the 1980's researchers looked toward environmental conditioning and social theory, to understand the concept of creativity. …

Papeete, Tahiti
11 Reviews
11 Reviews
The Marché Municipale (public market) is the heart of Papeete. It's a very colourful market that you should not miss when you are visiting Papeete. Here you can find local fruit, vegetables, flowers, fish, meat but also locally made products and souvenirs. You won't find them any cheaper elsewhere.
The busy, bustling town of Papeete, on Tahiti's north coast, is the capital of French Polynesia.
The town still has the provincial charm of a French colonial capital - whitewashed houses, buildings of painted wood with large verandahs and corrugated tin roofs, narrow street, parks and an outdoor market.
Papeete is designed for walking. The sidewalks and avenues are lined with vendors. A stroll through town and along the quay must be done in a leisurely manner and taken with several rest breaks at the many outdoors cafes and snack bars on Boulevard Pomare.
A place where you'll find all kinds of handicrafts like jewels, hats, etc...
I particularly liked the bracelets and necklaces made of shells and oyster nacres.
I really loved strolling between the stalls in the early morning.
7000 sq meters of Polynesian authenticity in a busy capital !!
Big covered market selling everything from local food to clothes, flowers, spices, soaps and all kinds of souvenirs (often made in Taiwan or China...:-/ Check the origin before you buy them...).
From the first floor, you've got a great view on the colorful stalls and the people buzzing around.
Nice atmosphere and fragrances
The market opens from 4 am till 6 pm.
This is one of the first places you see when you come to Tahiti because this is where the airport is. Most people land here at night and leave Papeete in the morning to go on to another island. Its actually cheaper to stay in Papeete than on any other island.
Its busy here, somewhat crowded but thats was ok with me. This is where you will find the Municipal Market and tons of restaurants. It was alittle difficult here because the dominant language is French or Tahitian. Other than in the hotels, English is spoken very rarely or not as much. But people do try to be very helpful and somehow we are understood and we understand.
Its an interesting place to visit and so much different than when you are on the other islands. The locals are all over the place, students getting out of classes, women doing their shopping. What I noticed here is that the young people like to walk around with their ipods attached to their portable stations and blast their music. It was alittle odd seeing that. It was kind of like in the 80's here in LA when the kids would walk around with their ghetto blaster.
The Waterfront Promenade stretches from Place Toata to Place Vaiete along Boulevard Pomare, which is one of the main roads of the city.
A walk that could be nice if it were not for the traffic and car smells all along…
The landscape on the seeside is quite appealing, with a beautiful view on Sister island Moorea in the distance and the huge elegant ships mooring in the harbour.
The building of this beautiful cathedral started in 1856.Granite blocs were brought from the Gambier islands to build the thick walls. Unfortunately it had to be abandonned after a year of work, due to a lack of financial means. It was finally torn down in 1867. A new but smaller one was then build in 1869 (40 m long and 15 m wide instead of 50 long and 20 m wide) and finished 6 years later.
Beautiful pink and yellow building of neocolonial style (made of concrete, wood and tiles). Surrounded by an agreable garden adorned with several ponds and huge sculptures.
Inside, you can admire the carved-glass canvas representing the city's history, and its huge rococo-style elevator.
The city-hall is a 3-time bigger reproduction of the queen's castle, that used to stand on Place Tarahoi.
Another place to buy stuffs ;-)
An agreable place to wander, between luxury shops and "haute couture" boutiques. On several floors, you'll find a lot of souvenir shops as well as a drug store, book shops, a movie theatre, a travel agency, etc…
Bougainville Park is a tropical garden near the Post Office with a playground for kids and benches for the parents to wait :-)
At the entrance of the park, you will notice a sculpture of Louis Antoine de Bougainvile, the French sailor and explorer who claimed Tahiti in the name of king Louis XV in 1768.
The museum was created in 1998 by Robert Wan, a very famous black pearl specialist in Polynesia.
Various panels in the museum explain the importance of pearls throughout history and the process of pearl making. You'll find various displays as well, showing how a pearl farm looks like, or divers in the Tuamotu islands (supposedly the best divers in the world as they can stay 3 minutes long underwater !).
The museum is part of the "Tahiti Perles" shop, where you can admire some of the nicest set of pearls and jewel creations of the Robert Wan collection.
Museum is free and opened Monday through Saturday from 9.30 am till 5pm (last entrance at 4.15 pm). Closed on Sunday and holidays.

I've been looking at the Oware Alphamid. It seems like a really simple design and I like how you can suspend it from a tree or use a trekking pole. I was thinking I would like to sew my own similar thing but use mosquito netting (adding a floor, of course).Does anyone know where I could get a pattern? Or possibly how to calculate the pattern myself? I've searched this forum but found only calculations for more complicated designs.
Hi,Take a look at this thread and you will see how I made my pattern.Tale of Two Alphamid's ~ MYOG ~ U-L & SULIf you do a cardboard model like I did you should then be able to get a set of measurements for the floor. The model is easy to make and if you mess up it is only cardboard. Toss it and start over.
If you have or are willing to download google sketchup, I have a number of different tent & shelter designs I could send you. I do have the alphamid type also.Let me know!
I saw the thread of the cardboard pyramids. I attempted to make my own based on your pictures, but it seemed to come out more complicated than the alphamid. Since it was just a model I was unsure if I got the height right or if I scaled it if there would be any fatal flaws.Looks like Sketchup will work with my OS. If you really do have an alphamid pattern, I could give it a try. My email is diane at santa barbara hikes dot com. No spaces.I was also wondering if it would be out of line to ask Oware if they sold the pattern.
I will send you some designs tonight when I get home. You can take measurements with the program once you get it loaded. The Alphmid style shelter would be one of the easiest full coverage shelter designs to sew yourself. I started out with a 10x10 pyramid for my first project, and while it is not a work of art, it turned out fine and I have had it stand up to a winter blizzard over christmas just for testing.I'll send you some files tonight.

OK... so we went to the meeting...well, it wasn't really a metting it was just a couple folks hanging out and letting their kids ride in an overgrown arena. I was disappointed when we drove up to see that they didn't even bother to mow down the thigh high grass. On the other hand they are planning on meeting there every other Friday nite to ride. I gave my 2 cents and told them that if they want folks in the area to take them seriously they will have to make a showing of at least wanting to have the place open. I said that they needed to mow and plow the arena at a minimum so that people that go out there will see that there is effort being made.
I spoke to the "big daddy" lol that has the saddle club keys and has been paying the bills for the last 2 yrs and he really wants the place open and is willing to help support it if these new folks are serious. I'm just not sure how serious they really are. We will go back on the 20th of this month for the next "ride" although I don't believe I will be taking my horses. I was rather unimpressed with how these folks were letting their kids (5 or 6 of em) yank and pull on these poor horses mouths. Usually people let others ride their horses but now that I own my own I don't think I will allow anyone to ride.....lol....we have gotten really far with these guys and I don't want anyone messing them up. Maybe I am being jaded. I helped a young girl get the bridle off of her horse and get the halter back on....Her parents had dropped her off and were back picking her up and they didn't know what to do!!!!!!!!! I'm serious.. the dad was saying don't get that animal too close to me... I was like OMGOSH! C'mere honey let me help you with that...Her horse was completely wet...beyond wet blankets..it was almost dripping and they just threw it in the trailer and took off! I know different people do things different ways...but geesh....And this was just one incident and I don't really like the public.lol.I know...I'm so ...I dunno...I get fed up with bs really fast...Judgemental I guess.
Ok... My story has seriously strayed and I was ranting about that little girl.....sorry all......I'll bake a cake for this one!
Saddle club is still up in the air... I'll see what's going on in 2 weeks. If they haven't bothered to mow... I think I'll be out untill more is done. I offered to help out and gave them my ph # and e-mail so I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

COVINGTON -- Covington-Newton County 9-1-1 Communications Center Director Mike Smith recently issued a report showing more than 110,000 calls for service were received and handled by dispatchers at the center during 2011. This represented an increase of nearly 6 percent overall compared to 2010.
"Since 2001 the 9-1-1 Center has seen a rapid increase in calls for service to our present level with no increase in staffing levels until July 2011," Smith stated in his annual report. "In spite of these numbers, the 9-1-1 Center continues to work diligently to answer every call as quickly and as professionally as possible."
The 19 dispatchers at the center answer calls for service and agency assistance from the Covington Police Department, Newton County Animal Control, Newton County Sheriff's Office, Oxford Police Department, Porterdale Police Department, Covington Fire Department, Newton County Fire Department and Newton County EMS. There are also five members of support staff employed at the center.
In addition to 112,712 calls for service from the public, 124,722 assistance to agency calls were handled, including those from law enforcement, animal control, fire departments and Newton EMS.
"It is our job to make sure the citizens are safe and everybody gets the help they need whether it be police officers or firemen or a citizen," said Operations Manager Trudy Henry.
Law enforcement calls were broken down as follows:
Covington Police, 31,771
Newton County Animal Control, 604
Newton County Sheriff's Office 66,540
Oxford Police, 1,910
Porterdale Police 4,435
Fire Department calls included 2,632 generated by the Covington Fire Department and 6,657 for the Newton County Fire Department.
Calls generated by Newton County EMS totaled 10,737.
The biggest upsurge in calls was generated by law enforcement with 78.82 percent of the calls, up 6.89 percent from 2010, and fire departments with 7.45 percent, which was up 7.67 percent over 2010.
There was an increase in total call volume in 2011, with emergency calls received on the 9-1-1 lines increasing by nearly 4,000 or 7.2 percent. Other calls handled by the center included wireless 9-1-1 calls, transfers, incoming and outgoing administrative calls and abandoned 9-1-1, or hang-up, calls. The administrative call volume increased by nearly 6,000 calls or 3.6 percent.
"After all totals were examined, the hourly average of phone calls processed remained the same," Smith said.
Henry, who was been at the center for 18 years, said 9-1-1 dispatchers are in a very stressful profession.
"There's a lot of multi-tasking involved," she said, adding other factors included, "sitting in a small room for 12 hours at a time, you never know what the next call is going to be and you always have to be ready for the worst."
She said many would-be employees decide early on the job is not for them.
"We lose our people in training. Once they get through the training phase, they usually hang around for awhile." she said. "But sometimes they find out the job is not what they expected it to be, find out it's too stressful or they can't deal with the kind of calls we have to take. And, sometimes we get talked down to on the phone, because the people who are calling us are sometimes at their worst. We understand that, but sometimes it's hard to listen to."

Athletic trumps academic funding
Why was I not surprised when I read the front page story on Jan. 16, in which it was revealed that SEC schools spend 12 times more per athlete than they do per student for academic expenses?
This just underscores how screwed up the priorities are in this country, currently. Little wonder that we are witnessing the "dumbing down" of our nation, as we fall behind other countries in educating our kids. It's okay to like sports, but the excessive emphasis on sports and entertainment above everything else inevitably, and sadly, reminds the student of history, of the last days of the Roman Empire.

Gill's radio legacy unfavorable
Although Steve Gill hosted a talk radio show for about 15 years, and was a leader of the anti-income tax protest early in that tenure, I first heard his voice about four years ago after Obama's election victory. I was shocked that someone could despise our new President so viciously before any new policy had been enacted. As I recall, he characterized Obama as vile and despicable or vile and contemptible. That pretty well snuffed my inaugural buzz and my hope for national reconciliation.
Gill lays all economic ills at Obama's feet, though they antedated Obama's administration. For example, former President Ronald Reagan's tax and spending programs increased government debt by 300 percent. Obama's will increase it about 80 percent.
Reagan granted amnesty to all undocumented aliens, where Obama is contemplating comprehensive immigration reform. Gill occasionally used dialect to belittle black people, providing succor for white supremacists.
Gill is brilliant at recalling names and events for his narratives, which are laced with sarcasm, irony and exaggeration to the point of dishonesty. I don't understand why someone as talented, intelligent and fortunate as Steve Gill would grovel in gratuitous hate. He has spent the last quarter of his life persuading successful people to resent unsuccessful people. Is that a legacy to be proud of?

Brown was right for TVA
Thanks to The Tennessean for the Jan. 16 op-ed, "One step forward, two back at TVA", calling into question our two senators' blocking of Marilyn Brown's reappointment to the TVA Board of Directors.
With our burgeoning population, and the increasing need for energy, we must have members on this board with expertise in energy efficiency and sustainability. From all indications, Ms. Brown has this skill. Actually, the board should have had people with this vision from its inception.
As it has been said, Americans are not known for long-term solutions, but quick fixes, usually for the benefit of those closely involved in the quick fix.
For the sake of our energy future, President Obama should renominate Marilyn Brown to the Tennessee Valley Authority Board of Directors, and we, as responsible citizens, should demand that Senators Alexander and Corker support her.

Earlier this month, Facebookô dropped a bombshellô by not only acknowledging that Facebook pagesã organic reach was declining but also by telling us we shouldnãt expect them to recover. Facebookãs VP of Product for Facebook Ads, Brian Boland, went on to explain that this is the new world we live in now, that the same thing happened with search engines before and that weãd better get used to it. Itãs true that many platforms go through a similar cycle: first, they present a great free opportunity, then more and more people grab it – decreasing the return for everyone until finally, the platform focuses on those ready to pay for play. It happened with Google Search; it happened with Apps (yes, Apple doesnãt sell ads but others do – such as coincidentally… Facebook). And now that all social media are publicly-traded company with ambitious revenue targets to reach, it will happen to social media as well.
So what does the decline of organic reach on Facebook and social platforms exactly mean on a practical basis?
What Boland explains in his post is that more and more brands, businesses and people compete for an attention span which is limited: yes, the time each of us spends on Facebook significantly grew over the last few years but at a much lower rate than the amount of content that we collectively published over there. The result is that every time they log onto Facebook, ãthere are 1,500 stories that could appear in a personãs News Feedã and that the Facebook algorithm mercilessly filters.
What are Facebookãs News Feed filters based on then?
Yes, youãve heard that before from Google with the Panda, Penguin and Hummingbird algorithms, right? This is all about pushing the top stories – based on a lot of criteria (ãthousandsã according to Boland).
(Note:ô Mark Schaeferô made an interesting observation that this is all part ofô Content Shockô – a trend that makes content's impact dilute over time as more people embrace it and that he reported on earlier this year generating a lot of reactionsô including mine.)
So what can we do about the decline of organic reach on Facebook?
Given an existing reach, the impact we get from social media publishing is the combination of our postsã:
– volume
– quality
– engagement
On Facebook, you will clearly see that in the insights of your page but itãs also true on Twitter and whichever social platform youãre looking at using to generate some impact.
Faced with decreasing reach, some could be tempted to solve the equation through a high-volume/low-quality solution but what Facebookãs post means is that you canãt compromise on quality otherwise your content will be buried in the 1,500 stories and never make the cut.
Recommended for YouWebcast: Sales and Marketing Alignment: 7 Steps To Implement Effective Sales Enablement
In short, publishing more crap will yield no results.
This leaves us with 2 choices (or the combination of both):
1 –ô increase volumeô andô qualityô at the same time;
2 –ô increase engagement.
Asô our recent study on its impact for professionalsô show, content curation is a great way of achieving #1: by leveraging what you already do (read great content; have expertise), by combining it with content curation technology that helps you identify more without spending too much time searching the Web and by making it easy to publish it to all the social networks you want to maintain, platforms like Scoop.it help a lot. As the study showed,ô 88% of professionals surveyed said that content curation helped them finding the time to publish contentô whileô 65% said it improved their SEO rankings.
But letãs also look at #2.
When Facebook (or Twitter) define engagement, they always look at the engagement on Facebook (or Twitter). They define it by the number of likes, re-shares, retweets, favorites, clicks, etcãÎ This is good but to me itãs too restrictive.
Social Media engagement does not only happen on the social network itself. Resharing a link you found on Facebook to Twitter is engagement. But commenting a blog post you found through Twitter is also engagement. Subscribing to this blog is again engagement. Generating leads of all forms is engagement and – as more and more content experts likeô Barry Feldmanô point out – one of the best ways toô measure the impact of your content.
Ask yourself the question: whatãs better for you? That someone likes one of your picture on Facebook or that she subscribes to your blogãs newsletter?
So while optimizing engagement on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+ should definitely remain an imperative for anyone who publishes on social media and want to get results, thinking of engagement only in the context of these platforms is doomed.
In short (and as I was highlighting through the slides below inô a talk last week): sharing is not enough; you need a content hub.
I donãt care how much you tweet, if youãre just tweeting links, youãre missing out.
Why? Because:
- Your content is short-lived (theô lifetime of a tweet is in minutes; a few hours at best).
- You have no or limited opportunity to provide context.
- You drive your audience away from you; not to your own site.
- No opportunity to convert.
- No opportunity to show related content.
- No traffic from search.
By having a content hub, now things are totally different:
- Your curated content is now archived somewhere and can be discovered and re-shared in the future (I regularly see people tweet my Scoop.it-hosted content months after I published it;ô thisô for instance links back toô this scoopô – published 2 months earlier).
- Extra perk if youãre a business: having individuals re-share your content on Facebook has a lot of value since the Facebook News Feed algorithm prioritized people over pages.
- Your curated content receives targeted traffic from search (on averageô 40% on Scoop.it topics).
- Even through a simple aggregation but of course all the more if you add specific commentary to your content, you will show more and better context making your content more engaging for the audience you target.
- You can add conversion & engagement CTAãs (subscribe, contact me, request a demo, book services, etc…).
Facebookãs move is the end of an illusion: the thought that all we needed was a Facebook page and some cool pictures that made people like us or our businesses. While there will always be example of people succeeding this way, this will now be harder and harder for the rest of us.
Social Media Publishing as we knew it is dead.
But by using curation technology to publish on social-and-search-friendly content hubs, you can not just maintain your social presence: better yet, you can make an impact with it.

IN BRIEF; Money for Homeless
By ELSA BRENNER
Published: January 10, 1999
President Clinton's announcement in Baltimore last month that $850 million in grants will be awarded to help more than 330,000 homeless Americans is expected to have a beneficial effect in Westchester County.
The state will receive $99 million, and of that Westchester will receive $4.8 million, of which about $3.8 million will be passed on to various agencies.
In addition, direct grants were made to the Sharing Community in Yonkers, the Mount Vernon Department of Planning and Community Development, several offices of Westhab, Westhelp Mount Vernon, the Y.M.C.A. in Yonkers, Yonkers General Hospital, the Yonkers Chamber of Commerce, Westchester Jewish Community Services in White Plains, the Yonkers Public Schools/Center for Continuing Education, Greyston Family Inn of Yonkers, My Sister's Place in White Plains, Westchester/Putnam Legal Services, the Center for Preventive Psychiatry in White Plains and Victims Assistance Services, among others. ''The President's policies recognize that if we provide homeless people with the help they need, they can overcome their problems and work their way out of poverty,'' Andrew M. Cuomo, Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, said.
The programs receiving aid will provide transitional and permanent housing assistance and will help people overcome problems that can lead to homelessness, like a lack of basic education and job skills, mental illness and drug addiction, Mr. Cuomo's office said.

IOWA CITY — The superintendent of the Iowa City Community School District has rejected a formal complaint over a decision to cut district spending by $3.6 million.
The Iowa City Music Auxiliary, a parent organization that supports the district's music programs, filed the complaint May 22 over budget reductions approved in April that include eliminating a junior high music course and fourth-grade orchestra, as well other programs and activities, starting this fall.
The organization, which said 118 people signed the complaint, asked that the cuts be revised and "farther away from our children." It listed 11 objections, including its belief that the process lacked transparency and that low-income and minority students will be affected disproportionately.
Superintendent Stephen Murley countered with a five-page response, dated Friday, addressing each point and saying he stands by the cuts and the process used to reach a decision.
He said the school board received information on the need for budget reductions at a work session in February, discussed the issue at subsequent meetings, and some board members met individually with administrators.
The specific reductions, however, were not shared publicly until a couple of hours before the school board approved the budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1.
Murley said in an interview in April that public feedback was not sought over an extended period because administrators did not want to have teachers or parents lobbying for one program over another.
He said then and again Tuesday that saving one program would require cutting another.
In his response to the Music Auxiliary, he also said the cuts affect every school and grade level.
"It is difficult to understand how these reductions could be construed to disproportionately affect low socioeconomic status students, students who participate in the free and reduced price lunch program, or minority students," Murley wrote.
Iowa City Music Auxiliary leaders declined to comment or did not return messages Tuesday, saying they had just received Murley's response the night before.
Murley's decision can be appealed to the school board. No such request had occurred as of late Tuesday afternoon, according to the district.

© Copyright 2015 Rockdale Citizen
CONYERS -- A woman who allegedly tried to run over a man with her car in May was arrested on a warrant Nov. 28.
Adrianne Denise Lindesay, 40, of 563 Inland Way, Lilburn, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault in connection with the incident that was reported May 4.
According to a report by the Rockdale County Sheriff's Office, Lindesay allegedly went to Conyers Auto Auction on Iris Drive in May to get a temporary tag for a car that was purchased by someone else at Atlanta Auction Access.
Conyers Auto Auction is a division of Atlanta Auction Access.
The manager at Conyers Auto Auction reportedly told Lindesay he couldn't give her the tag because she did not have the bill of sale showing that she purchased the vehicle.
Lindesay reportedly became irate and called the manager vulgar names. When asked to leave, Lindesay allegedly refused but then got in her vehicle and stated she was going to run over the manager.
According to witness statements, Lindesay pulled her car forward and then accelerated in reverse toward the manager, striking him on the leg as he jumped out of the way.
The suspect had fled prior to the arrival of law enforcement. The incident was captured on video by cameras located outside the business.

Impression générale
great hotel
novembre 30, 2015
rooms were clean and spacious...bed was comfortable. staff was super friendly. We would stay here again, no questions asked.
ok I'll Stay again
novembre 27, 2015
enjoyed the stay but rooms need to be upgraded and overall i'll stay but at a different staybridge
Great Two Bedroom/Two Bath Suites
novembre 19, 2015
Everything about this hotel was wonderful. Friendly staff, large, clean suites in a great location for business or family visits in the Plainsoboro/Hightstown/Cranbury area. Standard morning breakfast included. The only critique (and it is minor) that barred this from all five stars is that the rooms need a little updating - coat of paint. If they are updated and the cost increases $5-$10/night, it is worth it. If it is updated and suddenly we have to pay $25-$50 more per night, it would not be. Overall, highly recommended.
Overall Experience
novembre 09, 2015
Like many Americans, I am on a budget and always look for exceptional value for my money. You provided everything you said you would and the staff was an absolute delight. The rooms were clean, clean, clean, everything was comfortable. I had many things on my mind during this trip and it was a joy to arrive, receive a warm greeting, offers of assistance for shopping and dining, nothing was too much trouble, and all given effortlessly. I have told everyone, my family, friends, co-workers about the great experience and have encouraged them all to stay with you. I hope they do as they will be delighted.

Iodine value
The iodine value (or "iodine adsorption value" or "iodine number" or "iodine index") in chemistry is the mass of iodine in grams that is consumed by 100 grams of a chemical substance. Iodine numbers are often used to determine the amount of unsaturation in fatty acids. This unsaturation is in the form of double bonds, which react with iodine compounds. The higher the iodine number, the more C=C bonds are present in the fat.[1] It can be seen from the table that coconut oil is very saturated, which means it is good for making soap. On the other hand, linseed oil is highly unsaturated, which makes it a drying oil, well suited for making oil paints.
Table of iodine values[edit]
|Iodine number[1]
|Tung oil
|163 – 173
|Grape seed oil
|124 – 143
|Palm oil
|44 – 51
|Olive oil
|80 – 88
|Coconut oil
|7 – 12
|Palm kernel oil
|16 – 19
|Cocoa butter
|35 – 40
|Jojoba oil
|80 ~80
|Poppyseed oil
|133 ~133
|Cottonseed oil
|100 – 117
|Corn oil
|109 – 133
|Wheat germ oil[2]
|115 – 134
|Sunflower oil
|125 – 144
|Linseed oil
|136 – 178
|Soybean oil
|120 – 136
|Peanut oil
|84 – 105
|Rice bran oil
|99 – 108
|Walnut oil[3]
|120 – 140
This particular analysis is an example of iodometry. A solution of iodine is yellow/brown in color. When this is added to a solution to be tested, however, any chemical group (usually in this test C=C double bonds) that react with iodine effectively reduce the strength, or magnitude of the colour (by taking iodine out of solution). Thus the amount of iodine required to make a solution retain the characteristic yellow/brown colour can effectively be used to determine the amount of iodine sensitive groups present in the solution.
The chemical reaction associated with this method of analysis involves formation of the diiodo alkane (R and R' symbolize alkyl or other organic groups):
The precursor alkene (RCH=CHR') is colourless and so is the organoiodine product (RCHI-CHIR').
In a typical procedure, the fatty acid is treated with an excess of the Hanuš or Wijs solutions, which are, respectively, solutions of iodine monobromide (IBr) and iodine monochloride (ICl) in glacial acetic acid. Unreacted iodine monobromide (or monochloride) is then allowed to react with potassium iodide, converting it to iodine, whose concentration can be determined by titration with sodium thiosulfate.[4]

Bronx, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Robbie Grossman broke a tie with a two-run single during a four-run seventh inning as the Houston Astros rallied for a 5-2 victory over the New York Yankees.
Jake Marisnick had an RBI single and scored in the decisive frame for Houston, which clinched its first-ever series win in the Bronx.
New York starter Michael Pineda's outing ended after he walked Jason Castro to open the seventh. Esmil Rogers replaced David Huff (2-1) after a one-out single by Marwin Gonzalez and served up Marisnick's bases-loaded hit that tied the game at 2-2.
Grossman then found the gap in right-center field and Jose Altuve singled home Marisnick.
Astros starter Scott Feldman (7-9) gave up two runs on eight hits, struck out seven and walked two before departing with two aboard and two outs in the seventh.
"It's always satisfying to get a win like that," said Feldman. "Guys that came in after me all did a great job."
Both runners moved up on a passed ball, but Kevin Chapman struck out Jacoby Ellsbury swinging to end the inning.
Jose Veras allowed a pair to reach with two outs in the ninth, but he earned his first save of the season after Ellsbury flied out to right field.
Stephen Drew homered for the Yankees, who have dropped the first two of this three-game set and seven of nine overall. Pineda limited Houston to two runs on four hits and walked one.
"He was pretty good. I thought he got a little tired at the end, but that's to be expected," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said about Pineda, who made his second start since coming off the disabled list. "We pushed him a little bit, but I thought he gave us a really good performance."
After Pineda was perfect the first time through the order, Grossman singled to lead off the fourth. After advancing to second base on an Altuve sacrifice bunt, Grossman scored on a two-out double by Dexter Fowler.
Feldman stranded two runners in scoring position in each of the first two innings, but a two-out homer by Drew tied it at 1-1 in the fourth. The blast by Drew -- his first as a Yankee -- came after Chase Headley was thrown out trying to steal second.
New York grabbed the lead in the fifth when Ichiro Suzuki scored on Ellsbury's two-out bunt.
Feldman held the Yankees scoreless for 6 2/3 innings on Opening Day ... Pineda
has allowed six hits or fewer in 14 consecutive starts ... Houston finished 5-
for-10 with runners in scoring position, while New York was 1-for-8 in such

The defendant, Joe Gallegos, 43, is charged with vehicular homicide, drug trafficking, leaving the scene of an accident, driving while intoxicated and tampering with evidence.
This is the second time Gallegos has faced vehicular homicide charges. He was arrested and convicted in the July 2003 deaths of Manuel Ruiz, 28, and Joseph Vigil, 49.
The case received attention around the state, in part because Vigil was superintendent of the Albuquerque Public Schools.
Gallegos pleaded no contest in April 2004 in Estancia District Court to two counts of vehicular homicide. A no-contest plea means a defendant will not fight the charges. It is treated as a conviction.
Sentenced to seven years in prison, Gallegos was released in March 2011. Nineteen months after he went free, he was arrested again in the Farmington roadway death.
On Oct. 24, police said Gallegos struck Delandra Piochi, 32, at Main Street and Court Avenue.
Witnesses said the vehicle dragged Piochi about 60 feet before stopping, according to court documents. She died at the scene.
Gallegos allegedly fled but was apprehended by police minutes later at a mobile home. Police said Gallegos was in possession of heroin and cocaine and appeared to be high.
Results of his toxicology screen are still pending, said Cosme Ripol, Gallegos' attorney.
Ripol said his client could be facing more than 22 years in prison if convicted of all counts.
"This is a tragic situation, and both my client and I feel terribly for the victim and the victim's family," Ripol said.
The district attorney's staff said Gallegos' criminal history could lengthen his prison sentence if he is convicted.
Gallegos worked as a contract driver for The Daily Times. He is being held at San Juan County Jail on a $500,000 cash-only bond.

If you are on Facebook or Twitter, you've been exposed (whether willingly or unwillingly) to other people's pictures of their friends, children, pets, vacations. Albums filled with photos like these are usually a welcome distraction from a boring day at work, and are an easy way to get updates on someone's life.
But with the recent popularity of Instagram, an application for phones that allows users to quickly snap a single photo and share it instantly with friends, the kinds of photos published on Facebook and Twitter are changing. I've noticed a rise in the relentless documentation of extremely mundane things like new haircuts, items bought at the mall, and — this is a big one — meals that friends have cooked or ordered at restaurants. Don't get me wrong: I don't mind seeing the delicious mushroom-cauliflower-chicken omelet that you had for breakfast. Occasionally though, I will see pictures that make me question if some material is too expository to be published online. Shots of strangers in weird outfits, drunken friends passed out on the floor, and particularly rude servers at a restaurant are some examples of these kinds of photos.
Instagram pictures are often light and fun. They can provide a delightfully raw look into other people's private lives. But they are also on the cusp of becoming far too invasive, and the thrill of uploading a dramatic shot is starting to overpower our ability to empathize with our subjects.
The recent violence at the Empire State Building exemplifies the thin line between what is appropriate to post online and what is in poor taste. Immediately after the shooting, bystanders on the street snapped pictures of the police, passersby and even the sidewalk where a victim lay bleeding. Instagram itself created a page that highlighted some shots from the tragedy. Many of these pictures were uploaded before most people — including the victims' families — even knew about the crime.
One "Instagrammer" defended his picture, saying that it was within his rights to capture whatever was around him at any time. In a way, he's correct: in a nonprofessional situation, one can take a picture out in public and not have to credit the subjects of the shot. But the ability to snap a picture and share it instantly with hundreds of thousands of people seems to have gone to our heads and left our hearts disconnected from whatever our lens is pointed at. The sleeping woman on the subway might look funny, but she would be embarrassed to see the picture you took, and probably mortified to find that it was shared online among hundreds of people. Your intoxicated friend might be having a great time dancing on a table, but he may not feel comfortable knowing a picture of him doing so was going to remain in your phone. And does your co-worker know that you "Instagrammed" a picture of her at her desk with a caption complaining about her loud breathing?
As technology gets more pervasive in our lives, we need to be aware of the fact that not everything needs to be captured, shared or discussed. Before hopping on the Instagram bandwagon and uploading brag-worthy pictures that we think will impress our friends, we need to reflect on what kinds of pictures are more sensitive than others and how our subjects would react if they saw the final product.
There is no denying that platforms like Instagram are here to stay, at least until a newer and better model comes out. But we must respect and remain sensitive to the emotions in every shot we capture, and understand that the right to privacy is a basic human need. In the long run, living in a completely depersonalized society is not worth a few shocking photographs.

Grace watched the ship's First Mate agilely shin down the last few feet of the mast and leep onto the deck, landing lightly on his bare feet like a sleek blonde panther. He was shirtless and his white breeches stretched across his tight buttocks leaving very little to the imagination. The damned man was a fevered fantasy in the flesh, and Grace could still feel the wicked pleasure his hands could mete out on the most intimate parts of her. She clamped her legs together as her nipples stiffened under her taught bindings, and took a lungful of head-clearing sea air. But then he looked straight at her and grinned and her mind fogged again, unable to think of nothing but his mouth on hers, his brazen tongue thrusting between her lips.
"A good morning to you, Doctor Ferris!" he called cheerfully. "Did you sleep well Sir?"
She managed to grimace slightly in an imitation of a polite smile. He knew full well she had not had a wink of sleep in that narrow hammock surrounded by snoring brutes and unable to stop thinking about his clever hands. He was beside her now, looking down at her with that infuriating grin, running his hand over the bronzed skin of his bare chest, over the tight ridges of his abdominal muscles, down further, down to the waistband of his breeches…Oh Lord, she had to tear her eyes away from him and think of something else.
"Will we make good progress today?" she asked, her voice coming out in a croak and sounding rather manly for once.
"Wind is good! Should be in Nassau tomorrow," he replied, not taking his eyes from her mouth.
She pointedly looked away from him and at the horizon. It was a glorious day, the sky a deep blue with a few perfectly fluffy white clouds. But she was distracted by the smell of Hanson's sweat; a deliciously fresh scent that made her want to reach out and lick him.
"We have a casualty for you to see," he added.
"Oh yes!" she said a little too enthusiastically. This was exactly what she needed to get her spirits back on an even keel.
"The cook has scalded himself quite severely. If you'll come down below, he's in the galley."
Grace recognised the cook immediately. Fergus Tuck, the ugly ingrate. Where had she last seen him? Barbados?
He watched her dress his wound in silence, grunting when in pain but bearing the whole procedure with reasonable fortitude. Hanson hovered in the background for a while, but much to Grace's relief soon got bored and drifted away.
"Little Grace Ferris," Tuck eventually muttered. "What you doing dressed as a man?"
"Keep your trap shut Fergus Tuck," she said, deliberately pulling the bandage a little too tight. "Don't you breathe a word to anyone."
"You have my word, but what are you doing, on board a pirate ship? You're putting yourself in terrible danger."
"Don't you think I know that?"
"Your poor father must be turning in 'is grave."
"Don't you bring my father into this. He's the reason why I'm here. Now you just keep your trap shut," she said securing the ends of the bandage round his arm, "and I'll be fine." She was just about to leave him when a thought struck her. "What are you doing on a pirate ship Fergus? Weren't you on some plantation in Barbados?"
He grunted. "I was and right happy until the whole place was burnt to the ground. You remember that Lady Howard? You gave her a potion for her headaches? She disappeared, most likely dead, poor Lady."
Grace remembered Lady Howard vividly, mainly because she had been wearing an exquisitely beautiful dress, the kind of dress that Grace could only dream of wearing. It had been made of taffeta silk and the bodice had been so low cut her breasts had almost spilled out, her modesty protected only by a fringing of fine lace. Grace also remembered her glorious black curls that rather shockingly fell loose around her shoulders…oh Lord!
"What is it Grace?" Fergus asked, seeing the look of amazement suddenly freeze the Doctor's expression.
"Nothing," Grace stammered, hurriedly collecting her equipment and ramming it into her doctor's bag. "There's someone I need to speak to quite urgently."
The Black Orchid sat at his desk with the maps and navigation equipment spread in front of him but unable to concentrate on the task in hand. He could not tear his mind away from the hauntingly beautiful woman locked in a cabin mere feet away from him.
Last night, when he had scooped her into his arms, she had felt so soft and warm and so right against him that it had taken all of his strength not to just sweep her on board and straight into his bed and pour out the truth into her lovely ear. He wanted to unburden himself. He needed to unburden himself and to be damned with the consequences. He stood up and slammed a fist down onto the desk. He was going to tell her the truth.

The Joel Scott Hill Trio was a 1960s ensemble featuring guitarist Joel Scott Hill (later to replace Al Wilson in Canned Heat), bassist Bob Mosley (soon to join Moby Grape), and drummer Johny Barbata (who would end up in the Turtles and Jefferson Airplane/Starship).
Hill's band Joel Scott Hill and the Invaders, which featured drummer Willie Kellog, opened for the Rolling Stones on November 1, 1964, at Balboa Park Bowl. Hill recalled that day and meeting the Stones backstage for an April 1998 Reader article.
"They were just these frail looking little guys with gray skin. They don't get much sun over there in England, you know…they weren't talking to anyone. Mick Jagger was sitting in a corner by himself…he was p-ssed off about money or something. He was afraid they weren't going to get paid. They didn't sell many tickets."
