TUPELO – Authorities collected thousands of dosages of unused prescription drugs Saturday as part of the American Medicine Chest Challenge.
The American Medicine Chest Challenge, a public health initiative to raise awareness about the dangers of prescription drug abuse, was held in thousands of communities in 36 states across the country on Saturday.
Sheriff's and police departments in Lee, Monroe, Pontotoc and Chickasaw counties set up drop-off points where people who wanted to properly dispose of their old medication could do so without having to worry about them getting into the wrong hands.
Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson has been a proponent of proper disposal of prescription drugs and said he is considering starting a permanent drop-off location.
"This is a preventive measure we are taking," said Johnson. "This is a way for us to keep these drugs from getting on the streets. I'm glad to see the community turn out in such good numbers to turn some of this stuff in. We don't want things like this to fall into the wrong hands, especially those of children."
Lee County D.A.R.E. Officer Michelle Wells said children are more likely to use prescription drugs because they can simply get them from medicine cabinets at home.
Dorothy Merritt's motivation for taking her unused medication to the drop-off was to keep them away from children and to deter potential burglars.
"I've had all these things in the house and had no idea what to do with them," said Merritt. "And people know that older people have medication in their homes and will break in to try to get them. I just didn't want them around, but on the other hand, I just didn't want to throw them in the trash, so this drop-off was a good thing."
Like Merritt, James Collins had no idea what to do with his old medication and for years was flushing pills down the toilet.
"I thought flushing them was the best way to keep them from my grandchildren and other people," said Collins. "I have teenage grandchildren and the thought of drug abuse scares me to death. But now I'm glad I know of a better way to get rid of them."
Monroe County Sheriff Andy Hood said his department collected several dosages of medication as well.
"We are glad to get this stuff out of the reach of the public," said Hood. "The more we get to now the less we'll have to deal with it in the community."
In Pontotoc, Sheriff Neal Davis said the number of people dropping off drugs wasn't overwhelming, but any amount that is not getting into the hands of criminals is good.
Johnson said the Lee County Sheriff's Department collected nine garbage bags full of unwanted medication from about 30 people.
"I am very pleased with what was collected," said Johnson. "That's nine bags worth of harmful drugs that a child won't get a hold of, or anyone else for that matter. So we have to consider this a good and worthwhile event."

The Bulacan State University College of Education came into being in 1967 with the initial course in Drafting, Machine Shop Practice, Automotive, and Woodworking, Enrolment was purposely limited then due to the policy of the College not to graduate more than what schools in Bulacan and the neighboring provinces could absorb. The first batch of graduates was composed of 17 members with Dr. Mariano de Jesus who graduate cum laude.
The Teacher Education Program evolved to become the School of Education which offered in addition to BSIE, the course Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd) with various fields of specialization.
The Teacher Education Department was headed by Ms. Francisca Enriquez as the first dean. After her retirement, Dr. Mariano C. de Jesus took over as the next dean. Later, the Teacher Education Department was named College with Dr. Danilo D. Faustino as the third Dean.
On November 15, 2002, Dr. Danilo D. Faustino was designated to be the Vice President for Academic Affairs while Dr. Mariano C. De Jesus as the Executive Vice President. The movement of positions gave way to Dr. Luzviminda F. Tantoco who became the fourth dean of the College with Dr. Marlene D. Castillo as the Associate Dean. At present the College Dean is Dr. Teody C. San Andres with Prof. Belarmeno S. Cruz as his Assistant Dean. Other faculty members were designated Student Teaching Supervisors to handle a particular area of specialization.
At, present, the College of Education continues to offer the three programs: BTTE, BSEd and BEEd. Each proram is headed by an Area Chairman. In addition, the College of Education also offers the Continuing Professional Teacher Education (CPTE) for degree holders of programs other than education.
The College of Education likewise oversees the operation of the Laboratory High School with Dr. Dolorita del Rosario as Principal.
A recognized leader for excellence in instruction, research, extension and production services, a key player in the education and formation of professionally competent, service oriented, and productive citizens, and a prime mover of the nation's sustainable socioeconomic growth and development.

Maíread Corrigan and Betty Williams
Foreword by Charlotte Bunch
This biography of Maíread Corrigan and Betty Williams, winners of the 1976 Nobel Peace Prize, proves that ordinary people, united in a common desire for peace, can transform their nation and their world.
Born into hard-working families in the Catholic section of Belfast, Corrigan and Williams grew up amid the suspicion and bloodshed familiar to most residents of Northern Ireland. But when the violence that had torn their country apart for decades touched their own lives, these two "ordinary" women knew they had to fight for peace. The grassroots movement they led brought Catholics and Protestants together in nonviolent marches and demonstrations that drew tens of thousands of people and showed the world that Northern Ireland was yearning for peace.

Product Q&A
Ask your questions. Share your answers.
Is it adjustable temperature??
I Have a fine thin hair and I would prefer to be on a lower temperature
The sensor location results in the variation in temperature, the sensor holds a constant heat of 185 degrees however towards the centre of the plates it drops to 175 degrees as there is no sensors placed there directly.
As we have found this to be the optimum temperature for hair styling, we do not offer any option for temperature adjustment.
We've also made the ghd Gold Series stylers more weight efficient, by improving and modernising the design we've been able to reduce the amount of material used in its construction compared to ghd IV stylers.
Using its golden plates which have been smoothed and contoured the ghd V Gold Classic styler will deliver the ultimate professional finish.

The Sounds of Summer series – the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra's (OPO) summertime concerts featuring music for smaller ensembles – is taking place for the first time at the recently acquired The Plaza Live Theatre. The season continued on Monday with its second concert.
The highlight of the evening was the woodwind section. Clarinet, flute and oboe have never sounded as mellifluous at an OPO event as they did on Monday. As I anticipated on my preview last Friday, the most entertaining piece was Poulenc's Sextet, a three-movement jest for wind quintet and piano. It starts at a quick pace and it's stringed by a tightly-woven texture, as if it would collapse under a missed cue or a note held an eighth note too long.
The musicians kept the equipoise of Poulenc's melodies by feeding off each other, and coming down together for the breathers that come in the middle of the first movement and most of the second movement. The finale allows the horn – sitting for the part was OPO Principal Horn Mark Fischer – to project raspy snarls, befitting of the music's playful character.
Clarinetist Jackie Glazier may have stolen the show with her warm tone, reedy but not stringy, and well-articulated. She definitely provided the most touching moment of the Beethoven Trio en E-flat: the soothing adagio cantabile. The clarinet takes the melody slowly and serenely, with swift accompaniment by bassoon and piano.
Principal Bassoon Diane Bishop and pianist Keiko Andrews smoothly blended in, taking the melody from the clarinet and providing cushion for Beethoven's floating clarinet lines. Although the arrangement for trio came from the composer's own pen, it is not as engaging as the original version for septet.
In the same manner, Principal Oboe Jamie Strefeler projected the unique duck-like timbre of the oboe in all its glory. She appeared to exert a lot of pressure into the instrument's double-reed mouthpiece, emitting a clear tone with evident control.
Sandra del Cid is a distinguished Central Florida flute player and instructor. She let out a high-pitched tone along Martinů's Nonet, her tone resonating clear among all nine instruments. The piece allows all instruments to be singled out at intervals, and is especially quirky for pitting the winds against the strings, especially in the beginning.
The string section – Alexander Stevens, violin; Mauricio Cespedes, viola; Jonathan Stillwell, cello; Tye Van Buren – also had short spotlights along the way, although they were outshined by the winds, which might be explained by the title of the evening's program.
The program was educational insofar as it allowed the audience to perceive the distinct timbres of the instruments from up-close, something that may not always be done when the full orchestra plays at the Bob Carr.
Indispensable to the sound of the orchestra and always effective when employed by an apt orchestrator, a vibrating column of air and a vibrating reed of cane are worlds apart. But, as we witnessed on Monday night, how good they sound together.

If the thought of sitting down to write out complicated meals that require following intricate recipes and spending hours at a time in the kitchen, all to "prep" your meals for the week makes you want to strangle a head of broccoli, then you've come to the right place. Because that is not what this post is about.
This post is about spending just one hour or less of your free time in the kitchen, prepping a few healthy meals for the week ahead. Of course, cutting down on time means cooking in bulk and therefore eating some of the same meals twice in one week, something I'm totally OK with. So if you're ok with that too, then awesome! Let me teach you my ways. … Read More

Thanks, Caroline. I'm now completely in love with those blinging pieces myself - and I'm not even sure selling one of my kidneys would get me $22,100. While Khouri's creation is definitely unique, I did manage to find a few pieces that capture some of the same spirit but sit within a normal-person price range. Some of these are in very limited quantities, though, so if you like what you see, act quick.

INDIANAPOLIS — If the Saints end up making Tulane their college farm system, that's just fine with Green Wave wide receiver Ryan Grant.
The senior on Friday told media at Lucas Oil Stadium — site of the NFL Scouting Combine — that he "would love to play for the Saints," who for years have shared their Mercedes-Benz Superdome home in New Orleans with Tulane.
Not to mention Grant played his final two years in college under coach Curtis Johnson, who oversaw the Saints' wide receivers for six seasons until he was hired by Tulane in 2012. Johnson brought with him the offense the Saints ran under coach Sean Payton.
Payton has since made former Tulane signal-caller Ryan Griffin the Saints' No. 3 quarterback. And he recently hired ex-Tulane quarterbacks coach Mike Neu to man the same duties for the Saints.
Grant hopes he can become the latest to take his skills from the campus off St. Charles Avenue in Uptown to the Saints' headquarters on Airline Drive in Metairie.
"It would be easy for me to just go in there and pick up the offense with ease and just gel with those guys," the soft-spoken Grant said.
Grant had 77 catches for 1,039 yards and nine scores in 2013, helping the Green Wave reach its first bowl game since 2002. The 6-foot, 197-pounder surprised scouts at the Senior Bowl in January with his burst; and he impressed them during workouts by outplaying higher-profile receivers with his clean route-running and sure hands, NFLDraftScout.com's Rob Rang wrote in his evaluation of Grant.
"I went into the Senior Bowl with a chip on my shoulder, and I left leaving my best on the field," Grant said. "I think it showed for itself."
NFL Draft Scout projects Grant will be a fourth-round pick. He said he's been working on his 40-yard dash speed to boost his stock as much as possible, and he's repeatedly told reporters that he aspires to emulate pros Reggie Wayne and Michael Crabtree.
Grant said he has several official interviews lined up for Friday night. Many players at the combine have said they don't know with whom those meetings are — they're only informed of where and when to show up.
Grant's not shy about saying which team he hopes is among those that want to sit down with him.
"I'm familiar with a few of (the Saints') coaches," said Grant, who was seen speaking with New Orleans offensive assistant Carter Sheridan at the end of a Senior Bowl practice. "I wouldn't mind staying in New Orleans and playing for the Saints."
Grant's words echoed those of teammate Cairo Santos, the Green Wave kicker who was the only other Tulane player invited to the combine. On Thursday, Santos — whose last name in Spanish and Portuguese translates to "Saints" — said it'd be "ideal" to play for New Orleans and at the Superdome.

It's been a few weeks, eh? Winnipeg strikes again --- I went for a wedding, but I also managed to squeeze in an Arcade Fire concert and the Friday Night Poetry Bash at Thin Air, the Winnipeg International Writers' Festival. It was a whirlwind weekend of epic proportions, and highlights included hanging out at the Arcade Fire after-party, meeting and re-meeting some amazing poets, including George Murray and Ariel Gordon, and post-wedding, a dance party until 4:30 a.m. with some of my favourite people in the world. Also amazing was reconnecting with festival organizers and volunteers I'd met when I was there as a writer two years ago. I left with a bagful of books and a brand-new Thin Air mug to complement the lucky-charm one I already drink my coffee out of every morning.
Since then, the day job and Pop Montreal have been the main conspirators in keeping me from writing as much as I'd like. Still on the poetry kick. Some first drafts to follow here.
On the depletion of helium in the next thirty years
The scientist said it first: Mr. Nobel
in something or other. It was a Friday
kind of headline. We didn't worry. On your
birthday, I bought you a silvery bouquet
for a song. String for a stem, one knot
undone for your open kiss and when you
took it in, you squeaked out a tune
like Alvin.
You'd think we'd have tried
to pace ourselves, but a party's not a party
without a little something lighter
than air. Birthdays, of course, but word
got out and then Christmas, too, the solstice,
the odd blind date. The bridal mags vaunted
blimp proposals, the popping
of sapphire solitaires at 1200 feet.
We were running out of everything.
Everywhere clowns padlocked their sheds,
canisters stowed. And then on the best
hearses, floating black bunches wound round
and round the antennae. Finally,
the thing at the Wal-mart in Ohio, the so-called
"balloon loons," the awful stampede. That woman flexing
her bruises, bawling brats in close-up
on the six-o-clock news. You said there's a reason
Harry Winston doesn't have clearances.
On the day the Goodyear came down
for good, odes appeared in the paper to
that noble gas and we wondered whether
something shouldn't be preserved
for future generations. There was talk
of the Smithsonian. But they remembered the inevitable
drooping, settled for photographs of children
letting go, a rainbow of wishes rocketing
to the atmosphere. The very last of it all
except what NASA held back.
Twenty years ahead of schedule, it felt like
a small failure. Later, looking back, we knew
it was only the first loss
and the lightest.

The Problems of FIFA 14 Next-Gen and the First Update
FIFA 14 is finally available on PS4 and XBox One but this launch was not perfect. Let's see the main problems of FIFA 14 next-gen.
[alert alert_type="" ]UPDATE
November 23th
It was released the first update for FIFA 14 XBox One.[/alert]
The Problems of FIFA 14 Next-Gen and the First Update
In an effort to keep you up to date, EA Sports will continue to inform their fans about title updates, maintenance periods, and potential issues. The Day 1 Update will address the following issues: a potential controller bug that Xbox One users may experience when they initially load FIFA 14, and a bootflow issue causing problems to online features.
- Controller Bug
Using two separate controllers, both assigned to user profiles, and then using controller two to navigate the bootflow when FIFA 14 is loading can result in a crash. The FIFA dev team will be fixing this issue as soon as possible (shortly after launch) but, in the meantime and as a workaround: please only use controller one to navigate the bootflow of FIFA 14. You can turn on and use the controller two once in the main menu.
- Bootflow Issue
If you suspend the console (leave it inactive until it 'sleeps') on the title screen in the Xbox One bootflow, you will not be able to access any online features when returning from an unsuspended state. As a workaround: don't suspend the console when on the title screen. If you do, simply restart the console (XB1 Only).
In addition to the above, there are a number of known issues that we are working on solutions for. They include the following items EA Sports plans to address in a upcoming title update:
- PS4 and XBox One
The 'Seasons Win' item in the EA SPORTS FC catalogue will not be properly received if gifted to a friend. You should: Hold off on gifting this item until the upcoming title update.
- PS4 Only

I like to play Ultimate Team in pro-cam mode.
That is tricky: you don't see as much as in standard or tele mode,
but I like the feel of it.
Now, in the next ten version on PS4, taking corners effectively is
impossible. The camera swoops from the corner flag to midfield,
leaving no time to assess a strikers reaction.
Does anyone else have this problem?
How to solve it?

Kindness and consideration is something to be admired especially when helping firefighters who have spent hours in subzero weather battling a local fire. So when McDonald's Manager Heather Levia saw a way to help them by donating food and paying for it out of her own pocket for them, being fired never occurred to her. But that is exactly what followed for the New York former manager at an Olean, NY t McDonalds, according to Fox 44.
Total disbelief is one of the motions that had to have come across the young woman's face when her immediate bosses at the fast food restaurant sent her packing for her kind gesture. All she did was take their order of 25 breakfast sandwiches and hash browns, and then promptly took $83 out and pay for their order herself.
This selfless act was not welcomed by management and instead she was treated with utter contempt and even claimed that that was not the policy of the restaurant or of the corporation. This of course seemed a bit odd to Levia, since, "she claims they regularly give free meals to police officers who stop by," reported Fox 44.
The seemingly anti-community minded restaurant was not concerned about putting their best foot forward and instead when the 8-year McDonald's employee Levia showed up for her next shift the following day, she was fired.
So the former manager was on the outside for doing a favor which the hard-nosed apparent cold hearts at the McDonald's restaurant could not capture. The company's corporate theme is "Bah da buh buh bah! I'm loving it!" It should now be more like "Bah Humbug da buh buh bah! You're fired!"
Ms. Levia does not regret her acts of kindness and is insistent that it matters to show respect and support for those who protect and serve the community. "I wish the communities would change and help each other out. If losing my job is going to speak out to the community, then that's what it's going to do," Reported Fox 44.

Valerie June opened the show for Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings last night, Mar 20, 2014, at the Rialto Theatre in Tucson, AZ. Valerie's recent album, "Pushin' Against a Stone," reveals that Valerie June is a force to be reckoned with.
She is a self-taught musician, singer and songwriter from Humboldt, Tennessee who learned to sing in the churches of the Deep South. The predominant music heard in that area of the country is country and blues music. Her music is difficult to label in just a word or two. It is organic, Appalachian roots music, but Valerie June is much more than that. For more of Valerie June's background information, click here.
Last night, her physical presence was much like Erykah Badu and it was easy to imagine her on the cover of Vogue or Glamour magazines. She is beautiful with heavy dreadlocks piled on top of her head that appeared to be chiseled out of stone. The back of her hair was adorned with a long sprig of rosemary that she picked earlier in the day. Her voice and her vocal style were like no one else. The sound of her authentic voice captured the audience's undivided attention immediately.
Valerie started her set solo with her amplified acoustic guitar singing "Rolling and Tumbling." She alternated between the guitar, banjo and ukulele and was accompanied by a three-piece band. "Workin' Woman Blues" characterized her ability to interpret the spirit of the music she sings. The set was a sparse 30 minutes. She was gone far too soon. Click here for the set list.
It is ironic that this unique artist has toured and achieved more recognition in Europe than in her homeland. This needs to be changed and this tour with Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings is the first step.

To the editor: Democrats have continuously criticized opponents of their healthcare plan as not having a plan to fix healthcare. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Opponents of HR3200 have suggested several plans designed to rectify many of the problems in our healthcare system. What we oppose is the nationalization of our healthcare system, which provides the best medical care in the world.
To the editor: I recently had work done on my vehicle, and I am writing this letter to share the hard lessons I learned. Hopefully, this will help others learn things they need to check when picking up their vehicle from a repair shop, and they won't have to go through the same disturbing experience.
I picked up my vehicle from a local, supposedly reputable, repair shop after repairs were made to the tailgate. Several days later I noticed the paint didn't look right and returned it to be repaired again.
To the editor: John Heidtke's column states the benefits of sheriff's patrol of the Brunswick County waterways. I don't question the benefit, but I question whether this is a wise use of personnel and resources considering the current economic situation.
Heidtke implies the patrol may have stopped a series of burglaries that happened two years ago. I ask how many boats and personnel would it take to prevent that type of activity, and where do you think those boats will be at 2 or 3 a.m. when the thieves are on the prowl?
To the editor: Balderdash! A witch-hunt, a wild goose chase and a bunch of lying hooligans...enough is enough. This is not about party affiliations, Republicans or Democrats, it's about telling the truth.
Anyone who has ever met Mr. R.C. Soles, a 17-term senator, would immediately know he was a gentleman, and not a wolf in sheep's clothing as Stacey Scott said he was.
Stacey Scott's "I was high on drugs" excuse for telling a bald-face lie, will never be a "good enough" excuse, not now and not ever.
To the editor: Canaries sing incessantly. For someone desiring absolute peace and quiet, they are by no means the ideal pet. But if we would hear the "Song of Life," a canary is essential.
I understand early coal miners carried canaries underground with them. A break in their song or one found dead in his cage indicated the presence of noxious fumes and the possibility of a lethal explosion. When the canaries stopped singing, the miners quickly got out of the mine.
To the editor: I find it most interesting that many readers, such as myself, are always asking the media to print more positive stories and events. Yet, I am amazed at what the public and media try to make out of people doing good.
I saw that Senator Soles had said he set up a charitable foundation to do some good things after he died. The senator has said that he has been blessed financially. Why do we condemn and automatically become suspicious when he said he thought he would do some good while he was living?
To the editor: I was watching the news recently and would like to voice my opinion.
The county failed to inform citizens that distemper was going around in time for us to get treatment for our animals.
I myself have lost three animals to this because we were not told about this. The county just covered it up and said we couldn't adopt any animals because they were sick.
I think it's a shame the county didn't tell us in time to get the proper medical treatment for our pets.
To the editor: The effort to get some kind of healthcare for all Americans that will work, as well as the various systems throughout the industrialized world, seems to be running into a lot of less than sensible opposition. I'd like to address some of this:
Would a system that covers every American cause government bureaucrats to make medical decisions for doctors and their patients?
Answer: You mean like the way insurance companies presently do?
To the editor: I don't know where I was when Carolina Shores seceded from the United States and suspended the Constitution. I may have been at the dump (excuse me—recycling center) when my freedom of speech was taken away and my right to public discussion was abridged.
I believe this action was tried some time ago when discussion was outlawed and certain people were described as a cancer on the community. I hope we all remember what a difficult situation that left us all in for many years.
To the editor: Calabash commissioners, in particular Emily DeStasio and Cecelia Herman, have continually misrepresented what has been going on in Calabash. They even have made the comment concerning the age group of 30 that the norm is to cheat and falsify resumes. I resent that, as my daughter, who is a federal attorney and graduate of Georgetown Law, is going to be 30 in September and has never lied or cheated to obtain a job or grade.

Cheney's final regular season games left Lady Hawks softball head coach Gary Blake longing for the beginning of the season when his team's defense had him experiencing nirvana.
After starting the season with a .970 fielding percentage through the first five games, the Lady Hawks fumbled their way through their final Great Northern League games, committing 24 errors over 17 innings in lopsided losses to Colville and in game two of a doubleheader at Pullman. Cheney did manage a lopsided win of their own, capitalizing on nine Greyhound miscues in downing Pullman 21-6 in game one of Saturda...

Out with the Old, On with the New
I have celebrated the New Year in different countries and in different ways. In Portugal, people would stay inside until midnight and then come outside for a bonfire upon which old things, worn out furniture, things that served as reminders of their detested past were publicly burned. As midnight on New Year's Eve approaches, to the sound of music and celebration, fireworks would be lit from these fires. It was a time for a new beginning. A clean slate. A fresh start.
Now I live in the United States in a home that borders the conservation land surrounding Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts. Years ago Henry David Thoreau wrote his famous journal "Walden" or "Life in the Woods" here while he lived for two years and two months alone in a cabin near the water. In that book he contemplates the need for simplicity and renewal and is inspired by the example of the Muclasse Indians who had an annual cleansing ritual: "Having previously provided themselves with new clothes, new pots, pans, and other household utensils and furniture, they collect all their worn out clothes and other despicable things, sweep and cleanse their houses, squares, and the whole town of their filth, which with all the remaining grain and other old provisions they cast together into one common heap, and consume it with fire."
"A three day fast follows and all the fire in the town is extinguished. During this fast they abstain from the gratification of every appetite and passion whatever. A general amnesty is proclaimed; all malefactors may return to their town."
"On the fourth morning, the high priest, by rubbing dry wood together, produces new fire in the public square, from whence every habitation in the town is supplied with the new and pure flame."
"They then feast on the new corn and fruits, and dance and sing for three days, and the four following days they receive visits and rejoice with their friends from neighboring towns who have in like manner purified and prepared themselves."
This ceremony reminds us of our need to have our old history 'in Adam', the root and fruit of our old sin nature, utterly consumed and dealt with. It also pictures our need for God's gift of a new beginning; the new and pure flame of His life within us.
From God's point of view our old sin nature cannot be converted. It must be crucified. God gave our old sin nature what it deserved at Calvary. Our old way of life was judged and put to death through Christ's substitutionary sacrifice on the cross. We must believe on the sufficiency of what He has done on our behalf to enter into the good of it. We owed God a debt we could not pay. Christ paid the debt He did not owe. God pushed the clear button on His calculator when His justice was satisfied by the perfect offering of His Son as a full payment for our sins and our debts were cancelled. On the basis of this redemptive work, He restores us to live in newness of life by imparting the gift of His indwelling Holy Spirit. This happens the moment we repent of our sins and trust Him as Savior and submit to Him as Lord.
Because we are crucified with Christ, we are no longer at sin's beck and call (Romans 6:6). The Apostle Paul talks about our need to live in the renewal of our hearts and minds (Romans 12:2; Ephesians 4:22-24): "You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness."
We can put away the wardrobe of our Adam nature. We won't be needing it. It does not fit our new humanity. We are new creations in Christ. And He has a whole new custom-made wardrobe for us. Check out the clothes He has picked out for you in the New Testament book of Colossians 3:12-14!
My rituals on New Year's day are less profound than the southern Europeans or Muclasse Indians. On New Year's Day I attempt to purge unnecessary papers from my office filing cabinets and prayerfully contemplate how I can best serve Christ in the new year. One year we took down old wallpaper and put up something new. None the less they serve as a reminder of the good news that with Christ each new day of each new year is a new beginning. Old things have passed away and behold, all things have become new.
Let's live with the heart and mind of true spiritual renewal.
In the newness of His fire,
David MacAdam, Pastor/Teacher
New Life Community Church

Secrets of Success
2014 Goals
Sunday, January 12, 2014
Hi Sparkfriends!!
I always stay in on January 1 and reflect on the previous year and decide what I want to accomplish in the new year. I suppose you could call them resolutions, but to me they are goals. I have a big binder with all the things I ever said I wanted in my life, categorized into six buckets. Each year I review them, reminisce a little (I'm a little past being a rock star...), and then pick one or two from each of those six categories.
So here's what I'm going to work on this year:
1. Get a promotion (financial/career) - some of this is out of my control, but there is plenty I can do to make myself as promote-able as possible. So I'm going to focus on learning my industry inside & out, hone my skills, and request side projects that will enhance my experience.
2. Eliminate debt (financial/career) - I don't have a ton of debt, but now that I'm done with school, my student loans need to be paid back. I just want to get organized and get this stuff paid off as quickly as possible.
3. Weigh less than 200 pounds (health) - I haven't weighed less than 200 pounds since 1993. It's a tall order, but I have been making steady progress toward that goal for 5 years. I will continue the fight by getting better about logging my food, drinking plenty of water, and being more consistent with exercise.
4. Run a 5k in less than 36 minutes (health) - My best 5k time is 41:30. I'm focusing on losing weight and adding a little speedwork into my training program to try and cut that time down.
5. Record 6 songs (mental) - A friend gave me the new Beck album, which is not recorded music...it's sheet music. I want to learn at least 6 of the songs and record them, add in additional parts from friends, and post them on YouTube. This one is a strange one for me, but it should be fun!
6. Improve my marriage (home) - I have a great husband and am looking forward to our 14th wedding anniversary this year. But things can always be better, and I've neglected our relationship for 4 years while I finished school. Time to remind him that he's important to me.
7. Organize my house (home) - I have too much stuff. It must go.
8. Let go of the past (spiritual) - I have too much baggage. It must also go.
9. Improve my ability to participate in small talk (social) - I'm an introvert in an extrovert's career. It's important that I be able to socialize, but I really struggle to come up with anything to say after "hello." If I'm going to keep advancing my career, I've got to figure out how to socialize. This year's focus is research and practice.
So that's it - 9 goals for 2014. I'll check in periodically with progress reports. It's going to be a great year!!

Throughout the Division of Psychology at Cambridge Health Alliance, there are opportunities for trainees to be involved in research. At times, this involvement has helped shape a trainee's dissertation research. It is also possible for trainees to be assigned research mentors from psychologists who are involved in the Department of Psychiatry's research. We encourage trainees' participation in the ongoing research projects in the Department, and the development of proposals for original research. Currently, approximately twenty faculty members are engaged in research projects - a few with major research grants, and others with smaller grants or unfunded projects. Primary investigators often develop research projects in cooperation with other members of the Department of Psychiatry, with other schools within Harvard University, and with other affiliated institutions.
The Department of Psychiatry values research as the foundation for improving the quality of clinical care, and considers the conduct of research to be essential for determining the efficacy of methods of care, and for disseminating these methods to the larger professional community. Psychology Trainees, Interns and Post-doctoral Fellows are encouraged to join existing research activities, and are provided with technical and creative support in the development of new research endeavors.

I'm trying to play Skyrim on my secondary monitor (dual monitor setup). Short of changing my primary monitor, is there any way to force it to open there? (I play in fullscreen). My initial guess was that simply changing the graphics adapter would do the trick - but it didn't. I'm using Windows 7.
Your best bet is probably going to be to run the game in Borderless Windowed mode. There are a number of mods and scripts to force the game to do this.
This is the most popular one and was recommended when the question was asked here at Gaming.SE, but comments indicate it's having problems after the latest patch - presumably due to Bethesda changing the way the games executable interacts with Steam.
This alternative provides a script for the free, popular AutoHotKey utility which claims to resize the window.
As always, YMMV as to the stability of the game with either of these options, especially this soon after release, while the game is still being very actively patched.
In a post on the Nexus forum, a user suggests changing which monitor is your "primary":
Sorry to bring up an old post, I write this only so if anyone else has this problem in the future at least the answer is out here, I found that the problem happens when two lines are not in both the Skyrim.ini and the SkyrimPrefs.ini and those lines are:
sD3DDevice="Your Graphic Card Name Goes Here"
normally they will be in the SkyrimPrefs.ini but not in the Skyrim.ini so just copy them over and your game will launch on your second monitor like you want. They go under the [Display]
iAdapter=0 "Default Monitor"
iAdapter=1 "Second Monitor"
iAdapter=2 "Third Monitor"
and so on
Hope this Helps.

Ryan Van Duzer rides thru Big Sur
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Are you following the adventures of Boulder cyclist, Ryan Van Duzer as he rides the west coast all the way to Cabo?
Why is Ryan doing this?
Ryan Van Duzer is pedaling his mountain bike 3,000 miles down the West Coast to raise money for Boulder's Community Cycles and to gather signatures for the "People for Bikes" campaign. He left Tuesday.
Van Duzer, 31, of Boulder, is a cycling advocate who has never had a driver's license. He spent last summer crossing the country on a three-speed cruiser, raising about $6,000 for Community Cycles.
He expects this year's trip -- from Vancouver, Canada, to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico -- to take six to eight weeks, and he'll be sending dispatches for the Camera along the way.
Check ryanvanduzer.com for more updates and videos.
To sponsor his ride, visit communitycycles.org. To sign the pledge to create a more bike-friendly America, go to peopleforbikes.org.

There was obviously some keen interest in the topic of ported firearms as related to Self~Defense firearms.
We had members who wanted to voice their comment and personal opinion concerning the possible merits and disadvantages of handgun barrel porting for both (Revolver & Semi~Auto) ~
Please post those comments and opinions here.
Another member does have a thread open with porting questions but, please stay on topic to that thread as per my notation in that thread.
Those who have posted off topic comments in that thread please feel free to post them here in this one.

Welcome to the WLPA's web home. Here you will find a wide array of informational and community resources. From media reviews, to holiday and ritual ideas, to news on current Craft issues, the volunteers at the WLPA strive to gather together a variety of material for your perusal.
For over a decade now, the WLPA has fought to dispel the misconceptions surrounding Witchcraft and Wicca. We continue to work with schools, government agencies, the media, and when the need arises, directly with the private sector. It is our belief that only through the education of the public at large that we can overcome the prejudice that to this day keeps some Witches in the "broom closet". As a subculture, we've come a long way, but we still have a long way to go. As long as there are Witches who are afraid to come out publicly, there will always be the need for organizations such as ours.

The overall dress is amazing, and the material is nicer than I had expected just from pictures online. It's very silky and shiny. The fit of the overall dress fits wonderfully - but I would say the ribcage area is very stiff, with not much room for give (or deep breaths haha).

I tried to see this dress in store but it was unavailable. With little time left, I ordered it online. My first time ordering a dress online. I was expecting the quality to be below standard, but I was wonderfully surprised. The quality was very good. I love the weight of the dress and the satin finish making it almost a wrinkle free garment. It looks quite luxurious. I have removed the sash and added a gold belt with bling to go with my accessories for a ball this weekend. I am very excited to wear it.

Yet another coastal storm will have a profound impact on upstate eastern New York through Friday morning. Low pressure was developing explosively over the outer banks of North Carolina this morning, and will continue to do so through the evening hours tonight, while tracking slowly north of northeast. The storm is expected to be over the southern New England coast late Thursday evening, and out into the Gulf of Maine early Friday morning.
Snow had developed over the Capital Region this morning, and will continue through the day today. Satellite and radar pictures indicate heavier bands of snowfall closer to the southern New England coast, and over the northern mid Atlantic states. These bands were moving steadily northward and may impact the Capital Region in time for the rush hour this evening, bringing dangerous travel conditions to the region.
Significant snowfall accumulations are expected, with upward of a foot of snow looking likely across the bulk of the Capital Region before the storm pulls away, and precipitation abates, early Friday morning.
A weaker upper level disturbance may bring some lighter snows to the region on Saturday before high pressure begins to build into the region on Sunday. A slow yet steady moderation in temperatures is expected as we head into the new work week. Low pressure tracks to the north and west of the region early next week, allowing for warmer air to be in place for any precipitation that falls as result of the system's warm and cold front pair, which is forecast to cross the region in the time frame of Monday night and Tuesday of next week. Thus, even though precipitation may begin as snow, a transition to all liquid precipitation is expected.
...Below is the official forecast for the Capital Region and vicinity...
**National Weather Service WINTER STORM WARNING In Effect From 10 AM EST Thursday to 10 AM EST Friday**
Today: Snow. Snow may be heavy at times this afternoon. High near 30. North to northwest winds 5-15 MPH. Chance of snow is 100 percent. Snow accumulations of 4 to 8 inches by dark.

Kane Richardson bowls during the game against the Hurricanes. Photo: Getty Images
A SCREAMER of a catch by the Adelaide Strikers' Kane Richardson helped his side to a convincing 38-run win over the Hobart Hurricanes at Bellerive on Saturday night. Set 163 to win, the Hurricanes fell apart once key men Ricky Ponting (26 from 25) and Tim Paine (33 from 31) went and finished at 8-124.
Richardson brought back memories of Glenn McGrath at Adelaide Oval when he dived in the outfield to dismiss last season's leading runscorer Travis Birt (one). The lanky paceman looked to have misjudged the chance as he moved towards deep extra cover but threw out his right hand only for the ball to stick.
He raised his arms to the crowd on the Bellerive hill as his teammates celebrated with the Hurricanes reduced to 4-63.
The win keeps the Strikers in the hunt for the finals, while Hobart blew a chance to go second on the ladder and all but wrap up a semi.

Arthur Miller
Arthur Miller: Success and Scandal
Things soon took a turn for the better. In 1947, Miller's play All My Sons premiered on Broadway. Based on a true story from World War II, the play dealt with a corrupt man who sold faulty parts to the U.S. military, leading to the deaths of American servicemen. Practically overnight, Miller's life changed. "With the production of 'All My Sons,' at the Coronet last evening, the theatre has acquired a genuine new talent,"7 wrote the New York Times' theater critic of Miller the morning after the show. The play won the Tony Award and the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award.
Two years later, Miller followed up on the success of All My Sons with Death of a Salesman. It was the story of Willy Loman, a salesman and middle-class dad who is nearing the end of his life and career. As the finish line approaches, Loman is gripped by the realization that the grandiose dreams he set for himself will never come true, and his subsequent pain and disillusionment form the basis of his tragedy. The play delved into the dark flip side of the American dream—the ability to see greatness, but not reach it—and was a colossal success among audiences and critics alike. "Writing like a man who understands people," theater critic Brooks Atkinson said, "Mr. Miller has looked with compassion into the hearts of some ordinary Americans and quietly transferred their hope and anguish to the theatre." The play, directed by Miller's close friend Elia Kazan, won the Tony, the Pulitzer and the Drama Critics' Circle Award—the first time a play had ever performed that particular hat trick.
The following year Miller adapted Henrik Ibsen's play An Enemy of the People, which looked at the ostracism of a man who speaks out against a popular—but environmentally harmful—public project. Shortly after, Elia Kazan asked Miller to escort a woman he was dating for the evening so that he could go out with someone else. The woman was actress Marilyn Monroe. The two fell in love, and had a brief affair. They soon parted ways, but their meeting put a crack in Miller and Kazan's friendship.
1953 saw the premiere of Miller's next play, The Crucible. It was set in the Salem Witch Trials, but everyone knew what Miller was really writing about. The U.S. government was at that time embroiled in the Cold War, and engaged in a virtual witch hunt against Americans suspected of Communist ties. (Miller had attended meetings of the Communist party, but never joined the party.) The search was led by the House Committee on Un-American Activities, or HUAC, and by Senator Joseph McCarthy, who acted as sort of one-man anticommunist wrecking crew. People ranging from Communist Party members to innocent civilians whose only crime may have been attendance at a single meeting in their youth—and sometimes, not even that—were hauled before Congress and pressed to name other suspected Communists. HUAC zeroed in on the movie industry. People whose names surfaced in the hearings were blacklisted by the studios, killing their career prospects. Using Salem as an allegory, The Crucible showed portrayed the ongoing Red Scare as a kind of deranged paranoia, leading to madness and injustice. The play's overtly political message did not go unnoticed by the government. The following year the State Department denied Miller's request for a passport in order to travel to a performance of The Crucible in Brussels, citing a law that denied passports to suspected Communist sympathizers.

Wi-Fi Motorola Xoom now just $499.99 in Canada
The Motorola Xoom has been available in Canada in its Wi-Fi-only incarnation since April. Up until now, the price being asked for the first tablet to run Android Honeycomb has been a bit steep at $599.99 (but it being more expensive than the competition was pretty much in line with its pricing elsewhere).
Now, however, Motorola has decided to make the Xoom cheaper in Canada. It's already available at Future Shop for just $499.99. So that's a $100 price cut. Nothing extraordinary, but decent nonetheless. It also (finally) puts the Xoom in the same (price) league as the Apple iPad 2, RIM BlackBerry PlayBook, and the upcoming HP TouchPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
So if you're in Canada and are interested in a tablet running Android Honeycomb, the Xoom is now definitely one model to consider. If you're interested, go to Future Shop now and order yours.

3 separate incidents of victims left in cars at Maryland Live! Casino over the past year
On July 21, Dwight McGinnis, Jr. spent hours betting at the Blackjack table, but the 67-year-old took a gamble before ever setting foot in the casino doors.
"It almost seems like she was either driven up here and then left or she has driven herself up here and lost all... she's just not coherent," a security guard explained to a 911 dispatch officer.
According to charging documents, the North Carolina man left his 98-year-old mother in a pickup truck as he took hits on Blackjack for nearly five hours.
SEE MORE | Woman, 98, left in car for at least five hours as son went into Maryland Live! Casino
"We have a lady in our garage on level 4, she appears to be in her mid 80s, she's in a red truck. They're concerned for her well being. She's been sitting in there for hours," the guard explained.
McGinnis isn't the first to take a gamble on a passenger's safety at the Maryland Live! Casino. In the past year, three people have been left in cars outside the casino.
"Certainly, it's alarming from a police department standpoint. Any citizen would hear something like that and be alarmed," said Anne Arundel County Police spokesman Justin Mulcahy.
In October, police found a 5-year-old child lying on the floor of a car hidden under the two front seats, which were reclined all the way back. The child's mother and friend were inside the casino. About two months later, a 4-year-old was left in a car for eight and a half hours outside the same casino in temperatures barely above freezing. The child's mother, Alicia Brown, was arrested on scene. According to charging documents, Brown initially told a tale that she ended up taking back, because what really happened was caught on surveillance footage.
- Mother charged with leaving child in car at Maryland Live! Casino
- Woman who left child in car so she could gamble gets 5 days in jail
"When you're trying to follow up, certainly you need the citizens, they are the first line of defense-- they are our eyes and ears. That surveillance footage that the casino has is important to law enforcement. It's a tool in our toolbox. It's something that can really expedite a case closure," Mulcahy said.
Maryland Live! Casino's surveillance cameras have helped in just about each of these cases. A great tool, police say, to find out what's really going on.
"It really takes everything coming together. Police, that relationship with security, community getting involved and having surveillance footage, so it's not the place to go if you're going to commit a crime," said Mulcahy.
Anne Arundel Police say a witness in the most recent case did the right thing.
"We've made a concerted effort to put the message out there to the public: If you see something, say something. Be nosey. And in this most recent case, that's what a person did when they saw something that was suspicious or disturbing to them," said Mulcahy.

No good deed ever goes unpunished has to apply to a college employee who was arrested for marking on a wall map to help students. Seems like an innocent enough gesture, but a police lapel camera recording Ginger Anderson, arrest might prove otherwise, according to the Blaze. The Utah Valley University employee saw that there was an error on one of the wall maps in a school building at the university and the next thing she knew the college was calling the cops.
Of course if you are an employee who works in the college's information center it only stands to reason that you would probably want correct information being provided to the students. So she reportedly corrected a map that was confusing students by adjusting the map's compass by using a marker.
The next day, the 48-year-old employee was greeted by what she claims were police who wanted to serve her with a college initiated citation for "criminal mischief," reported the Blaze. From that point the police lapel camera recorded one of officers grabbing her and "then pushed her against the wall and took her to the ground."
Anderson, who is also a student at the school, felt that the police actions were sheer brutality because she did not immediately comply with the demand of the police officers to accompany them to the station. In fact she can even be heard shouting "Let me take my backpack off," as her arm is bent backward on the video.
So whether it was a slow day at the cop station or now colleges are targeting employees with magic markers, the video of her arrest has stirred quite a lot of feelings about the college's actions.
Watch the video of the arrest below and make your own assessment:

Over the past several years the members of the sfSoundGroup have visited the San Francisco Conservatory of Music (SFCM) Concert Hall to give recitals in a program series entitled Small Packages. These were based on a call-and-response organization. The first program in the series, performed in January of 2010, featured György Ligeti's "Chamber Concerto" for thirteen instruments (which he completed in 1970); and the "responses" were short pieces commissioned for ten composers to prepare using one or more of the instruments in the Ligeti ensemble. This was followed in March of 2011 by Small Packages 2.0 (Beta). The parenthesis was probably intended to reflect that fact that, in this case, the "call" was an indeterminate graphic score, "December 1952," one of the seven pieces that Earle Brown collected under the title Folio; and the "responses" were provided by eight students in the SFCM Composition Department, all given complete freedom to determine how they would use Brown's score as a point of departure.
Next month sfSoundGroup will return to SFCM with a new installment in the Small Packages series. This time the "call" will come from two different works by composers whose approaches to making music differed significantly. The first of these is "Kontra-Punkte," completed in 1953, which Karlheinz Stockhausen listed as the first entry in his personal catalog of works. His own description of this music, which is included on the Wikipedia page for the composition, is as follows:
… a series of the most concealed and also the most conspicuous transformations and renewals—with no predictable end. The same thing is never heard twice. Yet there is a distinct feeling of never falling out of an unmistakable construction of the utmost homogeneity. An underlying force that holds things together—related proportions: a structure. Not the same Gestalten in a changing light. But rather this: various Gestalten in the same light, that permeates everything.
The "lexical primitives" for the creation of this piece are pitch classes, durations, dynamic levels, and six categories of timbres provided by the ten instruments for which the work is scored.
The second composition was written by Gérard Grisey, who studied with both Ligeti and Stockhausen in Darmstadt in 1972. Perhaps in reaction to the fact that much of his study at Darmstadt tended to focus on new ways to work with the notation of music, Grisey chose a different direction in which he chose to ground his own "lexical primitives" on the physical properties of sound and the representation of those properties through the constructs of mathematical physics. This approach came to be known as "musique spectrale" (spectral music); and, over the course of a relatively short life (Grisey died of an aneurysm at the age of 52 in 1998), he created a six-piece cycle called Les espaces acoustiques (the acoustic spaces). The second of these, "Périodes" (periods), composed in 1974 for flute, clarinet, trombone, violin, viola, cello, and bass, will serve as the second "call" for the next Small Packages concert.
There will be five "responses" to these two "calls." Four of them will be by sfSoundGroup members: cellist Monica Scott, saxophonist John Ingle, clarinetist Matt Ingalls, and oboist Kyle Bruckmann. As sfSoundGroup performers, all four of them all well versed in dealing with complex notation (including indeterminate graphics), extended performance techniques, and improvisation. The fifth contributing composer will be Christopher Burns, well acquainted with the physics of sound through his past work as Technical Director of the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford University. Burns now teaches music composition and technology at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee.
This new installment of Small Packages will take place at 8 p.m. on Sunday, August 24. The performance will again be given in the SFCM Concert Hall at 50 Oak Street, a short walk from the Van Ness Muni station. Tickets will be sold for $15 with a special $8 rate for the underemployed.

Roberts JS, Christensen KD, Green RC. Using Alzheimer's disease as a model for genetic risk disclosure: implications for personal genomics.
Susceptibility testing for common, complex adult-onset diseases is projected to become more commonplace as the rapid pace of genomic discoveries continues, and evidence regarding the potential benefits and harms of such testing is needed to inform medical practice and health policy. Apolipoprotein E (APOE) testing for risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) provides a paradigm in which to examine the process and impact of disclosing genetic susceptibility for a prevalent, severe and incurable neurological condition. This review summarizes findings from a series of multi-site randomized clinical trials examining psychological and behavioral responses to various methods of genetic risk assessment for AD using APOE disclosure. We discuss challenges involved in disease risk estimation and communication and the extent to which participants comprehend and perceive utility in their genetic risk information. Findings on the psychological impact of test results are presented (e.g. distress), along with data on participants' health behavior and insurance purchasing responses (e.g. long-term care). Finally, we report comparisons of the safety and efficacy of intensive genetic counseling approaches to briefer models that emphasize streamlined processes and educational materials. The implications of these findings for the emerging field of personal genomics are discussed, with directions identified for future research.

While appearing on Sunday's edition of CBS' "Face the Nation," Dr. Marshall Shepherd, the former head of the American Meteorological Association, claimed Americans have forgotten how to cope with severe winter weather as a result of global warming, Mediaite reported.
Shepherd claimed the reason is that cold weather has become rarer as global warming accelerates.
"I think we've forgotten how to be cold or deal with snowstorms, because we're seeing so few of these big storms like we've seen," he said. "And that probably is because of climate warming."
The statement was made even though this February is set to be the third coldest winter recorded in the U.S. as Americans from Davenport, Ohio to Alaska have experienced record cold temperatures.
According to the Anchorage Daily News, the The National Weather Service announced Saturday that Alaskans experienced a record wind chill of -97 degrees on Friday. The record-breaking low was recorded at Howard Pass in the Brooks Range.
"Mother Nature has a cold heart this Valentine's Day," the service said on its Facebook page.
Last Tuesday, the Quad-City Times reported a chilling -23 degrees at the Davenport Airport.
Nevertheless, some, like Shepherd, claim the temperatures are the result of man-made global warming.
"We know that climate change is happening and humans are contributing," he said, adding that both cold and warm temperatures are the result of global warming.
He also said skeptics shouldn't use the cold temperatures to doubt global warming, telling Bob Schieffer it's like saying "because it's nighttime, the sun doesn't exist anymore."
Ironically, he also warned the public not to blame every weather event on climate change.
