China Adventure Q?
For anyone who has done the China Adventure tour- when would you recommend getting into Beijing? I'm trying to decide if I can arrive the late afternoon of day one or if I'd need a prenight? Also would you recommend any extra time in Hong Kong or were you able to have enough time there during the tour? Thanks!

Assessing vulnerability and risk through the prisms of technology and policy is vital
Chris Bronk is a research fellow at Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy and an adjunct instructor of computer science at Rice.
Last month, several hundred technology executives, experts and information security gurus, including me, met at the EastWest Institute's inaugural cybersecurity summit in Dallas. Although a smaller gathering than the now enormous RSA security conference and trade show, the EastWest Institute's summit was more for the suit-and-tie set than the T-shirt and flip-flops crowd. Members of the latter group usually attend the more technically hardcore Black Hat and Defcon hacker conventions in Las Vegas.
So why did the suits come to Dallas? One reason above all else is money. Companies face rising losses from cyberattacks and are spending more money on cybersecurity. Cyber acts of corporate espionage and international organized crime are becoming more pervasive, and they are costing public and private organizations increasing sums. The criminals' methods and tools are growing more sophisticated, and the question of how much cybersecurity is enough is largely unanswerable. All those developments make corporate executives nervous.
The big problem of the moment is the set of intrusions designed to steal intellectual property — business plans, bid information, trade secrets, research data and other forms of proprietary information. The attacks, labeled advanced persistent threats by the FBI and its major IT security contractor, Mandiant, usually involve a targeted e-mail, or spear phishing, attack. In that scenario, the bad guys locate individuals in an organization whom they believe hold sensitive information and send them an e-mail message with a clandestine payload that will infect the targeted individual's PC or other device. After the machine is infected, it can receive orders from the attacker and begin sending the information to unauthorized parties. That slurping of data can go on for seconds, minutes or months.
Federal IT managers know all about this. But fear about the problem often makes the security folks unwilling to update or change their enterprise software baselines. They try to lock down devices, but then a senior manager who knows little about IT and perhaps nothing about IT security overrides the security folks and accesses ESPN on his or her BlackBerry. And now that BlackBerry is the big concern. Mobility means that there's more to protect in more places more often. Yikes!
Without diving deep into all that is wrong with the well-intended Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), let me make a point I've made before. In information security, policy and technology are often oil and water. What FISMA gives us is a lot of quasi-ambiguous score carding. Red means bad, etc. Instead, we need approaches that look at vulnerability and risk through the lenses of technology and policy. So where do we start?
The one thing government can do today is start pushing as much business activity through browser/server communications — aka cloud computing — and stop deploying new pieces of client software.
Years ago, Sun Microsystems got the message right: The network is the computer. That means users are going to have to connect to data resources that are somewhere else. The question for IT managers is simple: Do you want three or four pieces of software handling those connections — or dozens of them? Device to browser to server — that is business computing. All the other client applications, from spreadsheets and databases to adware and bots, can be banished. That will eliminate plenty of headaches.

Angel Rams??????
Ok so I was at a fish store in Houston today and saw something that made me laugh out loud. They were labeled as "Angel Rams" and looked exactly like a German Blue Ram buuuuuuut were shaped like..........balloon mollies I guess. Very round, short and plump. I assumed they were some disgusting hybrid of rams and angels and while they were absolutely beautiful as for as color was concerned but laughable as far as body shape. Has anyone seen something like this or is this some new and stupid?
Re: Angel Rams??????
It's not new but I find it stupid because they are fooling around Mother Nature.:shake:
i actually did some research on these as i was thinking about getting some, and suppodely they did a genetical thing to fertilize the angel eggs.
dont knwo hwo uch of this is true...your answer seems more sensible Blue

My post about $2.99 price point got me thinking of what kind of prices I'm willing to pay for games. I'm looking at my Steam list since the end of 2007 and here's the prices for the games I've purchased via Steam:
- $12.14
- $36.54
- $60.99
- $60.99
- $12.07 (9.99 eur)
- $18.11 (14.99 eur)
- Free
- $2.52 (2.09 eur)
- $12.07 (9.99 eur)
- $24.15 (19.99 eur)
I marked bold those games that I've completed or which are something I've spent time playing (Mainly Half-life 2 mods and Garry's mod is on that list as well). I marked italic those that I purchased for 98% research purposes (Garry's mod goes in this category too).
As you can see, there's couple of games in the higher end ($60ish) – games which I nowadays hardly ever touch. Cannot actually remember when I last played either one.
Couple of games (10 to 20 eur) were purchased mainly for research (and I only tested these like few times to see how they work and all that).
And then there's couple of 10ish eur (bit over $10) games which I've actually played recently.
In fact, from this chart it looks to me that I'm willing to spend some money for games (up to $61), but the games I really enjoy fall in the lower end (around $10).
Starting to think of it… somehow that $10 sounds a good price point. Ten bucks is something I can throw in a small game, and I know I don't necessarily need to spend tons of time (as a slightly busy dad my time has become even more precious…) so those small games actually work quite well. If the price goes to $20 or $30, I might actually not do the purchase. Not sure if it's because of the price, or whether it also means that I need to spend time playing these games (since I think they probably last longer than those $2 or $12 games)… and of course the barrier to spend $10 is few times smaller than spending $30.
At that price point perhaps I don't care too much if the game isn't that fun. And if the game is good, then perhaps I get a nice surprise (as in "oh, this was good! and only ten bucks"). And $10 games I get to buy double more games than with $20.
I know I can waste that $20 by buying couple of subway meals and I can get rid of $20 by buying some shit… but somehow the "ten bucks" feels good.
This doesn't mean that I wouldn't pay more (or less) for games that I think are good. It simply reflects that somehow I feel good about that $10 price tag.
I know in this matter we are probably going to get a very twisted poll results from a game developer audience, but let's ask anyway.
How much you'd like games to cost?
[poll id=34]
There's smaller and bigger games and naturally this means there's variation for how much I want to pay for games. But… let's keep it simple, let's take one price tag. You are free to comment your vote.

Armed men rob customers at cell phone store on South Federal; police say clerk in on heist
Security video shows her texting just before heist
DENVER - It was a heist caught on camera.
Two men entered the Boost Mobile store on South Federal Boulevard near Ellsworth. One pointed a gun at two customers standing at the front counter, and ordered them to drop down onto the floor.
Court documents obtained by 7NEWS indicate that the robbers took the customer's wallets, which contained a total of $950. One then pointed the gun at the clerk and yelled, "Give me all the (expletive) money." She gave him everything that was in the cash register, nearly $2,700.
The robbery occurred at 7:20 p.m. on April 2. Now, investigators believe that the clerk was in on the heist.
When police looked at all the security video, they noticed the clerk, Jessica Gallardo, had been texting someone just before the robbery. They also observed her opening the cash register when no customers were in the store, and taking money from under the drawer and placing it in the register.
Police obtained a search warrant to check Gallardo's cell phone and learned that she had deleted 17 text messages sent or received in the two hour period before the heist. Investigators say seven of the deleted text messages were sent or received 8 minutes prior to the robbery.
The affidavit doesn't state what information was included in the texts. It does state that Gallardo took the day off after the robbery and then never returned to work.
When police talked to her, she denied involvement in the heist. They noticed a tattoo on the front side of her neck that says "Deshawn." Gallardo told police that Deshawn Flores was a former boyfriend, who she is no longer dating.
When officers tried to clear Flores, they learned that he has three "failure to appear" warrants for his arrest, in connection with a robbery, burglary and auto theft. The officer running the check told investigators that Flores matches the description of the one of the robbery suspects at Boost Mobile.
In late April, a deputy with the U.S. Marshal Service told police that he spotted Flores and Gallardo together on two separate occasions.
He said he obtained information on a vehicle Jessica's sister had purchased from United Automotive at 765 Federal Blvd. The deputy said the vehicle was being repossessed.
Investigators responded to United Automotive and learned that Jessica and Veronica Gallardo and Deshawn Flores had gone to the dealership to purchase a 2003 Honda Accord on April 3.
The manager told police that the car was for Jessica, but was in Veronica's name because Jessica had credit problems. He said Jessica put a $1,000 cash down payment on the car and agreed to pay $500 at a later date.
He said the car was repossessed because Veronica failed to provide the bank that was financing the vehicle with the proper documentation for financing.
Jessica Gallardo has been charged with one count of aggravated robbery involving a real or simulated weapon.
Her preliminary hearing has been scheduled for May 28 at 8:30 a.m.
The owner of the store told 7NEWS there have been several other robberies at the business, and he wonders if Gallardo may have been involved in those as well.

Hundreds of Augusta Ranch Elementary students get sick over possible norovirus outbreak
MESA, AZ - Hundreds of students were sent home from an east Mesa elementary school after a potential virus outbreak.
It happened Wednesday at Augusta Ranch Elementary in the Gilbert Public School District.
School officials said 207 students were sent home after they threw up or were thrown up on. Five adults were also sent home.
They also say parents called out 73 students before school on Wednesday.
According to school officials, the county health department asked for stool samples from a student, teacher and staff member.
Based on the tests, they believe the cause was the Norovirus. They said it's highly contagious and spreads quickly. It usually lasts 24 to 48 hours.
Mom Shannon Federico-Smith said her younger daughter got sick Wednesday so she called her out of school.
Federico-Smith said her daughter was able to throw up for a few minutes and then go to sleep. And the she woke up and felt horrible and it continued all day.
She said she had no idea how big the problem was and that she'd never even heard of anything like this. "I'm flabbergasted," she said.
School officials say they notified parents of the issue. They advised parents that if their children were sick Wednesday, they should not go to school Thursday.
Thursday was the last day of school for Augusta Ranch.
To learn more about the Norovirus, you can visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.

The drier than normal summer has caused moderate to severe drought conditions in northern sections of eastern North Carolina, while all other locations remain abnormally dry. Inland areas north of Highway 264 to the Virginia border are classified as moderate drought. Portions of Halifax and Northampton counties are now in a severe drought situation. The drought has been made worse due to the lack of rainfall and above normal temperatures for the past few months. The next chance for rain will occur Sunday as a cool front approaches the area. Drier conditions will return for much of next week.

Thank you, Mr. Pratt
Reader, beware: An excursion into nostalgia follows.
Today is the two-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Enoch Pratt, the philanthropist who donated the money for Baltimore to establish a free library. They're celebrating at the Pratt, of course, and over on Read Street, there's an invitation to share memories of one's experiences with libraries.
I grew up book-hungry and book-starved. Books were expensive and scarce in Eastern Kentucky in the late 1950s and early '60s: no public library in Fleming County, meager holdings in the public schools, no bookstores for miles around.
My family owned some Bobbsey Twin books from my older sister's childhood. There was a little gift shop in Maysville that, for some reason, stocked a few copies of the Hardy Boys series for a dollar apiece, and my grandmother would buy me one as a treat when she went shopping at Merz Bros. My sister would occasionally check out books for me from the Morehead State University library when she was a student there. (Once she smuggled me into the stacks. Glorious. All those books.) And there were comic books, which sustained me day to day; my gratitude for that leads me to be indulgent about my son's taste for graphic novels today.
A bookmobile made its first appearance in the county about 1962, and I became one of its most eager patrons. One summer I rode along as a volunteer with the librarian, Ms. Betty Moss, helping check out and shelves books at the little towns around the county.
A public library was established in, I think, 1964, at first no more than a wall of books on one side of the Times-Democrat office, later occupying the whole of that space. I volunteered there for one summer with the librarian, Ms. Margaret Davis. The county constructed a brick building in 1967 to house the library, and I haunted it during high school, usually to the pleasure of the librarian, Ms. Lila Lee Humphries. The last time I was back, there were still books on the shelves with my signature on the cards. Some had even been read since.
As an undergraduate at Michigan State, I worked in the receiving room at the university library, opening and sorting periodicals and books. As a graduate student, I spent many hours in Bird Library. Graduate school on fellowship — being paid to loiter in libraries and read books.
And now, a Baltimorean and beneficiary of Mr. Pratt's generosity I frequent the Hamilton branch near my house and the central library on Cathedral Street downtown.
The central library is a noble building, with a huge main room with skylights three stories up and portraits of the Lords Calvert, the Colonial proprietors, on the walls. It is, in its way, a holy place, like the Basilica of the Assumption across the street. The basilica, designed by Benjamin Latrobe, begun in Thomas Jefferson's administration and recently restored, is a neoclassical beauty. The restoration reintroduced translucent glass in the windows of the nave and the 24 skylights in the dome. It is Enlightenment architecture, and both buildings, in their differing ways, are meant to let the light in.

how about "I don't want to work" disability or "I take no personal responsibility for myself' disability or "my hair turned gray" disability or my favorite "my dick is to small" disability! really?
No. Just no. This is horrible precedent. If you have an illness that you are solely capable of resolving but choose not to, then an employer should not be liable for letting you go because you can no longer perform your duties. This is akin to someone saying I like to sleep. Therefore, I won't come into work until 12 even though I was hired to come in at 9. Yes, I can control my sleep patterns and get up earlier to be at work on time, but I would rather you just accommodate me even though you hired me for the 9am shift. Just NO!
And now if they are eligible for handicapped parking, they won't even get the little exercise of walking from their car.
So eat till you are as big as a house, and you have job protection? I don't want to be around obese people, as it is a huge red flag that they are unreliable, have no self control. And, it's ugly.
Unless overturned, this ruling will clearly weigh on the conscience of the court.
So, you're saying that being fat is now a genetic disability outside of the control of those who are fat? If your arm is broken, it's an accident. But being obese, unless due to a genetic disease, is a lifestyle choice.
Wow you are all just such kind folks. What about people who have under active thyroid and it's uncontrollable or those who find out they are insulin resistant and they are unable to get their weight under control no matter what medications or what about someone who has metabolic disorder? Or someone whose severe arthritis has caused them to be unable to exercise due to pain and risk of breaking something....and they have become overweight/obese. Or the millions of women that suffer from Polycystic ovary disease, a syndrome that involves many of the bodies systems that causes weight gain. You can also say that this is a case of invisible disabilities causing visible disabilities (obesity)...it can and does happen. And you have the nerve to call obese people unreliable? no self control? ugly? WOW what a scurge on humanity you are...perhaps there should be disability for people with no heart, no compassion....most of you would certainly qualify.
The issues you just named are not obesity itself. Whether or not people gain weight due to diseases like that shouldn't matter, because they should be considered disabled due to legitimate reasons. The issue here is that people who CAN change their situation don't, then ask for disability. They CAN lose weight: they choose to give in to their unreasonable impulses, return to their habits when they do succeed (making it useless), and cry crocodile tears and say "I tried... But I can't!". People afflicted by diseases such as the ones you named try, but fail due to their condition and the inability to do so. They are not at fault.
Well if being fat is a disability then being a smoker should be also. Tis funny how anyone can berate a smoker and no one bats an eye but if someone berates a lazy sloth of a fat person they face the wrath of the socialist movement. Hypocrisy and logic have long ago left the building of this pathetic collection of humans.

Stocks Stabilize as Molson Coors Brews Up a Big Gain
U.S. stocks stabilized on Wednesday after energy stocks and earnings from a major beer brewer helped the market stem its recent declines.
U.S. stocks stabilized on Wednesday after energy stocks and earnings from a major beer brewer helped the market stem its recent declines.
After two weekly losses, the major averages posted strong gains to open the new week, as Exxon and IBM led the blue chips higher and investors put taper fears on hold.
BlackBerry stock plunged after its sale collapsed Monday, raising new questions about its survivability. But the three major indexes all rose in light trading.
Given the sluggish recovery and a strapped consumer, you'd expect to see corporate America trudging along, not racing for glory. In fact, the Fortune 500 are thriving as a group.
AT&T said Monday that it is ending its $39 billion bid to buy T-Mobile USA after facing fierce government objections. The cellphone giant said that the actions of the government to block the deal do not change the challenges of the wireless phone industry, which it says requires more airwaves, known as spectrum, to expand. The deal would have solved that problem for a time, and without it, "customers will be harmed and needed investment will be stifled," AT&T said in a statement.
T-Mobile USA warned that plans to introduce new high-speed mobile technology could go badly wrong for consumers and companies. Verizon Wireless (VZ) is currently working on a high-speed service for the end of this year, Reuters reported. The service will be based on an emerging technology known as Long Term Evolution (LTE). AT&T (T) plans to introduce an LTE service in 2011.

While mowing the pasture, over the July Fourth weekend, I came across a newborn fawn in the tall grass near some rocks. I stopped mowing immediately with hope that the doe would return. When the newborn started following the horses around the pasture, I realized it was abandoned. Thanks to an article in the (May 25) Auburn Journal about Kindred Spirits Fawn rescue, I knew where to phone for help. Diane (Nicholas) picked up the fawn about noon that day.

Mid-Mo Ambulance 2011-12 budget amended
Tuesday, October 18, 2011
The Mid-Mo Ambulance Board of Directors approved an amended budget, correcting the ending balance from the projected $680,000 to the actual $614,325.41. Total projected funds for 2011-12 are now $2,723,325.41 and reserve funds are $178,325.41. According to Administrator Lee Kempf, the amount needed to be amended by more than usual because of an accidental omission when the budget figures were calculated.
The board was informed of accounts written off in the office in the amount of $1,778.25. Most were remaining accounts from 2010 resulting from an adjustment made by Medicare. After review, the board approved writing off $14,696.73 in accounts deemed uncollectible. It was explained to the board that the write-offs are because of a recommendation from the accountant that anything in extended litigation be written off.

text: Car camera system knows when you have road rage Technology 18 March 14 by Olivia Solon EPFL-LTS5 A team of researchers at EPFL have developed a prototype that uses in-car cameras to analyse drivers' facial expressions to detect emotion, in particular irritation.Jean-Philippe Thiran, Hua Goa and Anil Yuce from the Signal Processing 5 Laboratory worked with Peugeot Citroen to develop the emotion detector. Early tests show that the system could be useful for making people safer drivers.Road rage has been found to cause unsafe driving -- between 1990 and 1996 road rage contributed to 12,610 injuries and 218 deaths in the US alone. Finding ways to detect driver irritation with a view to intervene could help reduce this risk.The prototype comprised of a near infrared camera positioned on the dashboard just above the steering wheel. This would point towards the driver's face. The driver's facial features and position are then tracked in real-time, and the expression is then compared to a database of expressions that the system has been taught to recognise, looking out for signs of anger and disgust. The software was trained to do this by first of all analysing photos and videos of people expressing these emotions, using footage taken from inside cars and also from other contexts, such as the office.Eventually the system was able to detect irritation in the majority of cases. When it failed, it was usually because the way that person expressed irritation was very different from the norm -- people express anger in lots of different ways. The ability to detect irritation will be improved by updating the database of emotion in real time.Beyond the variety of expressions that drivers can have when in the car, the biggest challenge for the system was making sure it was optimally positioned in front of the driver's face without interfering with his or her view. This was compounded by the fact that drivers tend to move their heads around, making expression recognition more difficult.Prof. Jean-Philippe Thiran, who headed up the project, told Wired.co.uk that to address this the team "built a system that estimates the head pose, and corrects the images accordingly to generate a virtual frontal image". However, he says, "We are still working on improving this."The proposed best system was able to successfully detect irritation in 90.5 percent of indoor cases and 85 percent of in-car cases -- this was because of the awkward angle and subsequent image adjustment required in-car so that the camera wasn't obscuring the driver's view.The prototype was also trained to detect fatigue by monitoring the movement of the eyelids, and the team plans to add in the ability to detect distraction and a lip reading capability that could help with voice recognition.The fatigue monitoring system echoes that developed by Seeing Machines for use in commercial lorries and mining trucks. It used a camera and infrared light sources to track eye and eyelid behaviour, looking for frequency of blinking, duration of blinks and the velocity of the eyelid for patterns associated with tiredness. Any signs of fatigue would trigger an alarm to wake the driver, and after three strikes the driver's boss would be alerted.Thiran says that this project is still at an "advanced research stage", but that there is an "emerging consensus that driver monitoring will become highly recommended, if not mandatory, for vehicles with high levels of assistance" -- something that he refers to as "adaptive assistance". The vehicles which assist in this way will be introduced just before fully autonomous ones, he predicts, which will be just before 2020. "In the meanwhile, some simpler evolutions will appear: detecting emotional states like stress or anger would allow starting countermeasures, for example quiet music or soft light on the dashboard.

Ron Jakowski
this wiki
- For the petroleum company in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V, see RON. For the mission, see Nervous Ron.
Ronald "Ron" Jakowski is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character in Grand Theft Auto V. Ron also hosts his own podcast that's played during the community hour of Blaine County Radio.
Ronald Jakowski was formerly happily married before his "best friend" Trevor Philips entered his life. After Trevor convinced him that his wife was only holding him back in life, and was divorced by his wife. He then began to obsess over conspiracy theories. On his podcast, Ron also reveals he was formerly an accountant before he started believing conspiracy theories. He's also deep in debt and still has to pay his settlement fees to his former wife.
Now Ron helps Trevor expand Trevor Philips Industries and is acting CEO.
Rockstar describes him as if his best buddy Trevor Philips is like a shark, Ron is like a remora. Being "paranoid but terrified" of Trevor.
Ron is an unlikely friend of Trevor but as said above, he is terrified of him and so goes to great lengths to appease him whenever he can, such as when he let Trevor bully him into giving up his share of the profits of an arms dealing job the two carried out, especially if Trevor is close to losing his very short temper. Trevor describes Ron as a conspiracy theorist which fits with his paranoia and despite Ron's timidness, he acts as a sort of henchman for Trevor and helps him with missions such as sneaking around the Lost brotherhood base to plant explosives while Trevor watches and covers him through a sniper scope which indicates a level of trust between them, and when Trevor introduces Ron to Michael, he describes Ron as very loyal which can be seen throughout the game.
Ron, due to trying to appease Trevor whenever he can, will always agree with Trevor even when the latter insults him or his conspiracy theories, making him something of a "yes man" and despite his fear, he seems to genuinely look up to his friend and may even be oblivious to fact he is sometimes threatened with violence by him, this can be heard on his radio station.
Mission Appearances
- Mr. Philips
- Nervous Ron
- Friends Reunited
- Minor Turbulence
- Derailed
- Bury the Hatchet (Voice, if playing as Trevor)
- Something Sensible (post-mission message)/The Time's Come (post-mission message)/The Third Way (post-mission message)
- Should the player "kill" Ron at anytime, 5000$ will be taken out of the player's bank account for Ron's medical payments. He will then send you a text explaining how the player is paying for it because he has to pay off settlement payments.
- Ron's phone number is 328-555-0198.
- Ron is also a DJ host on Blaine County Talk Radio, where he plays messages from "callers". He makes references to Trevor Philips, calling him Philip Trevors, and plays a message of Trevor threatening Ron, if he is put on the show.
- Visiting Ron as Trevor, Ron spouts random conspiracy theories and constantly agrees to Trevor's verbal abuse.
- Should the player take Michael De Santa to Ron, Ron's random comments become hostile as does Michael's too.
- Based on the game's final outcome, Ron will send the player a different message.
- If the player chose Something Sensible, Ron will message Michael, cursing him for killling Trevor and mourning over the loss of his best friend and business.
- If the player chose The Time's Come or The Third Way, Ron will message Trevor about leaving a customized Blazer near Trevor trailer.

Help me clarify my thinking if that's possible. About a year ago I bought a couple of badly neglected bikes @ $10 ea. to flip the frames & whatever else I could salvage (not much, as it turned out).
One is a Miyata 90 from the early 90s IIRC. It was metallic red with "Ninety" in script on the top tube. It had so much surface rust that I took off most of the paint, but the metal is sound (yes, inside too). A pic, in this case, would be worthless.
It has a chrome Tange fork that I strongly suspect was a replacement (the catalog I saw online showed the bike in all red). The cracked headset suggests a crash but the frame is straight & true. No trauma around the head lugs.
I was going to build it back up for my niece w/ some better components but she lost interest. So it's been hanging in the basement. I just keep thinking I should do something with it.
Rambling question #1: In spite of being a lower-end model w/straight gauge tubing the frame seems light compared to the few comparable frames I've known. Just my imagination or was there something to their "Magnalite" tubing?
Rambling question #2: In spite of its low-end pedigree might it be a "diamond in the rough" as a rider & worth the trouble to build up & do a better than spray bomb repaint?
Rambling question #3: Should I replace the Tange fork - or might it be original to the bike - a mid-production run substitution, perhaps? The rusty chrome polished up fairly well.

Anti-gay Lutheran pastor heads his own church-split
Timothy Kincaid
November 24th, 2009
In August of this year, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America took strongly affirmative stances in welcoming and supporting gay Christians, including allowing gay and lesbian ministers in lifelong monogamous same-gender relationships to serve as ELCA pastors.
Immediately, conservatives encouraged pastors and congregations to break from the ELCA and to join together in their own new denomination united by their rejection of gay men and women. And, indeed, the ELCA has lost many churches since their decision.
Among the many tales of disassociation comes this one from Little Falls, Minnesota, in which the church did not vote to leave the ELCA. What happened next is worth notice, even if Lillian Kwon spun the story absurdly. (Christian Post)
The Little Falls church defeated a motion to withdraw from the ELCA by a vote of 160-96. It also voted 95-73 not to affiliate with Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ, which allows gay clergy as long as they are celibate.
So those who lost the vote did what they do in many such situations. They split from the congregation to start their own church.
Church splits are hardly rare. But those who know the etiquette of pastoral service will see the problem with the following:
Bjorge is currently leading a group of people who left First Lutheran to start their own church, Faith Lutheran. He was called by the group to serve as their pastor.
So the pastor, Rev. Nate Bjorge, did not leave to seek a position with a congregation in another community that better suited his theology. Instead, he is staying in town to run a rival church (most likely created at his instigation) to the one that did not vote in accordance to his ultimatum. He is behaving punitively and in the most petty manner possible.
There is no law or – due to his separation – even denominational force to stop Bjorge. He's entitled to try and be as destructive as possible to the church whom he previously had pledged his servitude.
But Nate Bjorge's behavior has made his character perfectly clear. Rev. Nate Bjorge is just plain tacky.

The fabulous Helen is now up for adoption. Don't miss your chance on this sweet special girl, she is one of a kind. Read my story >>
There is a Basset waiting just for you.ADOPT
There are many ways to get involved: foster, transport, staff events.GET INVOLVED
CBHR depends on your donations to continue saving the Bassets.DONATE
This spring we have had a bit of a perfect storm. Spring is always "rainy" season when it comes to shelter bassets needing help. This year is no different. Right now we are faced with lots of incoming sick dogs, returned CBHR bassets, and lots of who faced the big "C". Over the last four weeks we have lost four foster dogs to cancer. We have said goodbye to Molly Kindig, Ozzie Massengill, Gator Vogland, and today, Dixie Hill-Lucier.
Merry Belle (top) came back to CBHR as her own mama is suffering from cancer. Aren't you glad CBHR is here to protect her? Ringo (below) came to us with over 80 ticks and has a tooth root abscess and leg abscess that need care.
Each of these sweet bassets came to CBHR from a rough past. Two of them were adopted and then returned. However, you all know that once a CBHR dog, always a CBHR dog. And because CBHR and its awesome foster families were there all had a safe place to land. Please thank foster families Carol and Damon Kindig, Brenda and Ronnie Massengill, Linda and Garrett Vogland, and Aaron Lucier and Cliff Hill for giving these hounds the life they deserved all the way to the end. Molly, Ozzie, Gator, and Dixie didn't know they were foster dogs; they simply knew they were loved and they were home.
We have three goals:
CBHR was there for these hounds because you, our supporters, made it possible. We are very proud that we take the old as well as the young, the sick along with the well. And from all the kind notes we receive, we know you too are glad we take those who need our help. Because of your generous support we can give these hounds with no other option a safe, warm, loving place. However, these does require ongoing donations. The reality is that medical issues, senior care, and end of life care can add up quickly. Spring is here and is ALWAYS our busy time for incoming bassets. Please help make sure we don't have to say no to any hound who finds himself in need!

Renée's child divorce splitRen�'©e Zellweger split from husband Kenny Chesney because he doesn't want children, it has emerged.
The 'Bridget Jones' actress had cited "fraud" when she filed for an annulment from the country singer last week.
It has now been revealed the 36-year-old actress obtained the annulment because Chesney was reluctant to have children.
A source said: "Ren�'©e wanted to start a family as soon as possible.
"She thought Kenny felt the same way, but he didn't."
According to lawyers, in US separations, partners sometimes cite "fraud" as a euphemism for a partner who is either "gay or has sexual issues."
However, Ren�'©e has issued a statement telling fans not to jump to any "sensationalized or untrue conclusions."
Zellweger and the platinum-selling country singer married in May at a romantic ceremony on the beach in the Virgin Islands.
The couple met at a tsunami relief concert in January.

Honor Roll of donors
Published in Annual Report - 2010
The Teachers College Honor Roll of Donors is one way we recognize our loyal trustees, alumni, friends, corporate, foundation, faculty, staff and community partners who believe so passionately in what we do.
Beginning in 2009–2010, through the creation of the Maxine Greene Society, we also are honoring the generosity of consistent, long-term
donors who have supported Teachers College over the years. And we are delighted to feature here our new Lifetime Giving Society, which recognizes the exceptional philanthropy of those donors who have made an extraordinary commitment to TC. The Society honors those remarkable supporters who have made cumulative commitments to the College of $1,000,000 or more.
Without such a devoted community of supporters, TC could not bring its expertise to bear across the fields of education, health and psychology, serving as a leader in curriculum development, evidence-based research and the melding of theory and practice. Thanks to you, we now are laying the groundwork to take those efforts to the next level, with a particular focus on advancing the art and science of learning; reimagining and revitalizing urban schools; and shaping research-based policies and formulas for success.
As we move forward with this important work, the support and partnership of so many of our alumni and friends is not only essential to our success, but makes a critical difference every single day.

13 weeks pregnant
When to know that you are really out of the danger zone?

I'm also 13 weeks and I just read today that we have one more week and then we'll be in the second trimester and the miscarriage rate drops drastically.posted 12/19/2007 by Mommy2Be:)
The risk of miscarriage is about 15-20% of all KNOWN pregnancies. 80% of that 15-20% happen before 12 weeks gestation age. It's not quite the second trimester but very close to it. You're out of the 'danger zone' pretty much any time after you're 12 weeks but there is still obviously a 20% {of that original 15-20%} risk. But that is not really worth worrying about, just keep taking care of yourself and i bet things will be fine. The last thing you need to do is worry yourself. :)posted 01/19/2009 by MollyMafia
It is true. Once you are in the second trimester your rate of miscarriage does drop... a lot. I also read in one of my books that the rate of miscarriage drops dramatically once you hear the heart beating on ultrasound.posted 01/08/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
im 13 weeks tomorrow. I don't even try to think about miscarriage because it only makes you stress and worry about something that may never happen. I beleive that its not good to even have the thought of having a miscarriage while pregnant.posted 05/13/2010 by HondaCivichx1998

K, I just made it into the second trimester and the heartbeat is MORE THAN THERE! Fast little thumper on this one. I am on pregnancy number 4 and have one healthy almost 3 year old boy. The fact is that the actuall statistic is 1 out of 3 pregnancies will end in miscarriage. I heard my baby's heartbeat during the last pregnancy and knew to worry only because it was very very slow. A healthy heartbeat is a good indication of a healthy baby. Also, once you've made it into the second trimester, you can breath a little. Dont stop doing everything becuase you're pregnant. Life revolves around life, not just your belly. my son needs just as much attention as he did before I got pregnant and that means that I have to remain active. If you have a healthy lifestyle and are willing to let your worries kind of drift off and be replaced with a joy at creating life, than you are creating a wonderful begining to your baby's life. Good luck. The journey of a mother is not short but great.posted 01/22/2009 by Rosanna-LeeJean
I think it is very important for people who have had pregnancy losses to be able to talk about them during subsequent pregnancies and in general. It is a very valid concern that needs to be expressed, especially in our society today where people don't really talk about those things. I have a healthy little boy at home, but then my following pregnancies resulted in stillbirth and miscarriage. Those two losses, especially the stillbirth, are having a huge impact on how I am approaching this pregnancy. I don't think I will be able to get through it without being able to share my feelings and concerns.posted 02/04/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
I had a doctor tell me that the first miscarriage milestone is definetly the sound of the beating heart. The next milestone is the second trimesterposted 11/24/2008 by RachealandRandy
I am now 11 weeks pregnant. This is my 6th pregnancy. I have one 5 year old. To the people how say not to worry. It is really hard not to worry. The first time I got pregnant, The thought of misscarriage was the last thing on my mind. I was like ever woman. excited to be having a baby. 10 weeks along i started bleeding. I was having a misscarriage. The second pregnancy, i was 8 weeks. I was optomisic. I had another misscarriage. My third pregnancy, I didnt even know that i was pregnant when i misscarried that one. I knew what was going on when it happened. I had to go through the whole thing again. then I got pregnant with my son. I was so scared. I watched everything i did. I went from being an active person to not even doing laundry. I was scared to even move. I stayed in bed. in the end i had him. My 5th pregnancy i just found out that i was pregnant, and misscarried. Now my 6th pregnancy, I have past my scary time. So far everything is ok,posted 10/07/2010 by amypeters1981
I just want to say after all that, its not easy to forget about misscarriage. It is a hard thing to go though. I know all 2 well. with this pregnancy, I think about it every day, but my baby has made it so far. It has a good heart beat, and even saw movement on the ultrasound. So, I am trying to stay positive. You need to also. enjoy being pregnant. Not everyone can be pregnant.posted 10/07/2010 by amypeters1981

just want to know....and maybe the story behind it if you have one.
do your step kids call you mom?
Choose your putas wisely
His Mom wanted him to call me Stepmom but I nixed that.
When I had one, no.
Now that my dd has one, but doesn't know about it, she will not be calling the other one mom.

My 2 year old LO calls his stepmom mom/mommy because his dad made him call her that. I dont agree with it at all in our situation.
^^^ that is horribly mean (IMO) that your husband does this. it is also unnecessary.
practicing mind yoga.
I am "mama" to DSS and his BM is "mom" or "mommy." I've been in his life since he was two and he began by calling me by my name. He started calling me mama when he felt comfortable with it; no one has ever pushed him.
I was (am, I guess) a SKid. My mom remarried when I was 2. I called my SF "dad," until I was old enough to realize that he never treated me like part of the family, at which point I started calling him by his first name. My brother (half brother--his son with my mom) would ask me why, and I would say, "Because he's not my dad." He never called me his daughter, either. As in, "This is Our Son, and this is [my mother's] daughter."
When my dad remarried when I was 17, I called my SM by her first name. I didn't live with them. We had a good relationship, but she was never a mother to me, and never tried to be.
I met my DSD when she had just turned 3. I never asked her to call me "Mom," but she did, anyway. Her mom hated it and would yell at her, to the point where she started calling her mom by her first name when she was with us because she thought *I* would be upset that she was calling another woman "mom." I wasn't about to tell her she couldn't call me that, but I didn't force her to, either.
Now, she's 16, and she calls both of us "mom." It confuses her friends, and she'll clarify, "No, my STEP-mom," and then she always explains to me why she said that, like I'm going to be mad about it. She lives with us now, and (in her words and in the words of everyone that knows us) I'm much more her mom, than her "Real" Mom.
Busy Mom, Mama, and Mommy
I'm not in a parent role. I'm a caring adult so the first name suits us.
I do not understand this statement. Do you mean like, when your stepchild is there you do not act as a parent? You do not set rules and boundary, don't break up fights between the kids, and don't do any of the parent type things? What do you do while the kids are at your home?
This is an honest question with no snark intended, I truly do not understand being a step parent but not being a parent role?
I understood that when I married DH that he and I not you, me, and him would define my role in the family.
My sks have to active bio parents. I never allowed them to hand ANY parenting duties to me. I do not function as a parent in the home but as an adult.
I don't break up fights as our kids are much younger than the sks. I handle the disputes between our kids. DH handles the disputes between his kids our between his kids and our kids.
I do what I always do when sk are here. But DH is always home when they are here. It works as we have no issues with sks being disciplined too harshly or differnces in punishment.
We parent ours he parents his. It is low/no conflict ;-)

ARKADELPHIA, Ark. (KTHV) -- Henderson State's Kevin Rodgers has been named one of 24 candidates in the running for the 2012 Harlon Hill Trophy as the NCAA Division II College Football Player of the Year.
The list of candidates was announced Friday morning by the National Harlon Hill Award Committee. The list includes six players from each of the four Division II Super Regions.
Players are nominated and voted on by the sports information directors at the 168 NCAA Division II football-playing institutions. The 24 initial candidates will be placed on regional ballots and the top two players from each of the four NCAA regions will advance to the national ballot when regional voting concludes on November 17.
Rodgers has earned GAC Offensive Player of the Week six times and was named NCAA.com and D2 Football National Player of the Week for his performance against McKendree.
The Rockwall, Texas native holds the HSU single-season and career records for touchdown passes, having 39 scoring strikes this season and a total of 48 touchdowns in 16 career games.
The sophomore signal-caller leads the nation in passing efficiency at 194.25 and has thrown for 300 or more yards in seven of nine games. For the season, Rodgers has completed 219-of-318 passes for a completion percentage of 68.9 and has totaled 3,381 yards.
Rodgers, who is the only sophomore among the 24 candidates, threw for a career-high 518 yards against Southern Arkansas and totaled 466 yards passing, going 30-for-44 with five touchdowns earlier in the year against Harding.
The winner of the 2012 award, which is presented by the National Harlon Hill Award Committee, will be announced at the 27th annual Harlon Hill Trophy Presentation Banquet on Friday, December 14 at the Florence Conference Center at 6:30 p.m.
The Hill Trophy is sponsored by the City of Florence, Ala., Florence-Lauderdale Tourism, Opti-Net, the Marriott Shoals Hotel and Spa and Herff Jones.
Candidates were initially nominated by the sports information directors at their respective schools and those nominations were then reviewed by the Hill Regional Advisory Committees, which trimmed the list of candidates.
The group of 24 candidates includes nine quarterbacks, eight running backs, five receivers, a linebacker and a defensive lineman. There are 14 seniors, nine juniors and one sophomore.
Among the players vying for the 2012 award from the Super Regional 1 are senior wide receiver Tyron Laughinghouse of St. Augustine's University (N.C.), senior quarterback Kevin Morton of Kutztown University (Pa.), junior running back Franklyn Quiteh of Bloomsburg University (Pa.), senior quarterback Kameron Smith of Winston-Salem State University (N.C.), senior running back Harvie Tuck of Indiana University of Pennsylvania and junior quarterback Zach Zulli of Shippensburg University (Pa.)
Candidates from Super Regional 2 are senior wide receiver Chris Bowden of Wingate University (N.C.), junior wide receiver Gerald Ford of Valdosta State University (Ga.), senior linebacker Corey Jones of Lane College (Tenn.), senior quarterback David Thomas of Miles College (Ala.), senior defensive end Ridge Wilson of the University of West Alabama and senior tailback Derrick Washington of Tuskegee (Ala.).
Super Regional 3 is represented by junior wide receiver John Brown of Pittsburg State University (Kan.), senior quarterback Tyler Eckenrode of Emporia State University (Kan.), senior running back Michael Hill of Missouri Western State University, junior quarterback Phillip Klaphake of St. Cloud State University (Minn.), sophomore quarterback Kevin Rodgers of Henderson State University (Ark.) and senior running back Rayon Simmons of Winona State University (Minn.).
Selected from Super Regional 4 are junior running back Kay Fiecher of the University of Indianapolis (Ind.), senior running back Joe Glendening of Hillsdale College (Mich.), senior quarterback Taylor Housewright of Ashland University (Ohio), junior running back Keidrick Jackson of Midwestern State University (Texas), junior wide receiver Jeff Janis of Saginaw Valley State University (Mich.) and junior quarterback Dustin Vaughn of West Texas A&M University.
Rodgers is the second Reddie in the last three years to be considered for the prestigious award. In 2010 Nick Hardesty was one of 9 candidates to advance to the national ballot, being one of the top three from Super Regional 3 to be selected.
Rodgers and the Reddies will finish the regular-season on Saturday when Henderson State plays host to Ouachita Baptist in the Southern Bancorp Battle of the Ravine at Carpenter-Haygood Stadium in Arkadelphia, Ark. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m.

- Item Category: Toys, Dolls, Games & Puzzles
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: May 31, 2009
- Channel: Auction House
Her e's another auction byLone Star Trains and Collectibles, San Antonio's Classic Era Train Headquarters! You are bidding on a very hard to find boxed set from 1963. This was an UNCATALOGUED Super O Promotional Outfit sold exclusively through Sears and Roebuck (for $49.89!). It is really neat because it comes with a BIG transformer as well as a boxed accessory. If you have Schmid's book, Authoritative Guide to Lionel's Promotional Outfit, you'll find this set discussed (and another one pictured) on pages 642-644. The set came with: 637 Steam engine with smoke (in great shape), boxed 736W whistle tender, excellent, boxed 6500 Beechcraft Bonanza Transport Car, flat withplane. This one is boxed. The flat is excellent, but the plane has some yellowing to it in the white. 6464-900 New York Central Box Car: According to Schmid, this car was substituted in 666 of the 1470 sets (for the more common 6464-725). This car is in excellent shape and is boxed. T IS a price sticker on one end--I am not sure why. I WILL include an unboxed (and unpictured) excellent condition 6464-725 New Haven boxcar to the original bidder, so you will have the best of both subs. 6142-25 Gondola Car unboxed, as it was originally for this set 6112-5 Canister (2), 6512-1 Cherry Picker Car. This car is complete and excellent, but t is no box for it. The original owner who bought it new said he does not ever recall t being a box for this item. 6463-25 Rocket Fuel Car, excellent and boxed 6059-50 Caboose, unboxed, as it came 40-1 Cable reel 452-1 Overhead Gantry Signal 31-60 Bundle of 6 SUPER O curved (2) for a total of 12 32-5 Straight SUPER O track, 3 loose 34-10 1/2 section of SUPER O straight track SW Transformer, 130 watts Boxed. It was only used in four sets in the 1960's. 310-62 Set of 3 billboards 1963 Accessory catalog 1123-40 Instruction Sheet 1-62 Parts Order Form According to Schmid, the low-end cars were usually unboxed. True, with this set, the 6059 caboose and 6142 gondola are unboxed. However, the Rocket car, which Schmid says was unboxed, has its box. Perhaps it was boxed and the Cherry Picker Car wasn't with this particular set. I do not know. The Set box as you can see is in great shape. Please supersize the pictures to see every aspect of it. T are three areas that keep it from being like new: a small lip curl along the edge flap on the top a small "ding" like a miniature doorknob crescent dent on one end near the numbering a diagonal tear from the corner toward the middle on one of the wider sides
Otherwise, the box is really crisp and nice! This box is interesting--it has TWO numbers on it--a Sears type 9884 number, and the 19308 Lionel number, BOTH on the ends.We have not serviced any car or engine As this is a desirable collectible, I would like to leave that to the next owner, assuming you plan to run it.

Michael Saunders packed for the All-Star break feeling a lot better about himself than he has for most of the past 3½ months.
The same could be said for his Mariners squad as a whole, which spent much of the season's first 95 games failing to meet their own lofty expectations. But the team's first series sweep of the year, capped Sunday with a 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels, has the Mariners feeling a lot more confident overall.
Saunders and others hope to carry that confidence into the latter part of the schedule, hoping to chip away at the nine games that separate them from a .500 record.
"We're playing good baseball right now,'' Saunders said. "One through nine in the batting order. Starting pitching and bullpen. We lost a tough series to Boston but we played good baseball. And then Anaheim came in here and we didn't let that previous series get us down.''

Saunders hit a two-run homer in the second inning off Joe Blanton to get Seattle's attack going early. It was the 22nd consecutive game in which the Mariners have gone deep, extending a franchise record in what is now the longest such streak in the majors this year.
The crowd of 25,629 at Safeco Field also saw Justin Smoak collect two more hits, while Raul Ibanez doubled in a run as well. Mariners starter Hisashi Iwakuma gave up a solo homer to Mark Trumbo and then a two-run single in the sixth to Alberto Callaspo that turned a 4-1 lead into a one-run game.
But Iwakuma escaped further trouble, had a perfect seventh inning and preserved a 4-3 lead for Charlie Furbush and Tom Wilhelmsen to safeguard in the eighth and ninth.
The Mariners had suffered letdowns in two previous series against the Angels. In May, they were blown out in a two-game set. Last month, they dropped three of four, including a series finale they led 8-1.
But this sweep and having gone 8-5 against potential contenders has them feeling better. The Mariners are averaging nearly six runs per game in June and scored 48 in seven games this homestand.
Manager Eric Wedge said the sweep was a long time coming.
"It's hard to win a series, hard to sweep. And when you do that, you make up some ground.''
And there's a lot to make up.
"A lot of good things have happened here,'' Wedge said. "Not just in the last three days, but the last two or three weeks. And you can see where these guys are headed.''
• The Mariners will send relief pitcher Stephen Pryor to Class A Everett for an injury rehabilitation assignment during the All-Star break.
Outfielder Franklin Gutierrez will work out with Everett, as well. Gutierrez could start an official rehab assignment with AAA Tacoma later this week.
