From the Back Cover
Each volume in the Understanding the Bible Commentary Series breaks down the barriers between the ancient and modern worlds so that the power and meaning of the biblical texts become transparent to contemporary readers. They present a careful section-by-section exposition of the biblical books with key terms and phrases highlighted and all Greek transliterated. Notes at the close of each chapter provide additional textual and technical comments for those who want to dig deeper. A bibliography as well as Scripture and subject indexes are also included. Pastors, students, and Bible teachers will find in this series a commitment to accessibility without sacrificing serious scholarship.
1 and 2 Timothy, Titus explores Paul's heartfelt concern for the newly planted churches and the leaders who served in them. These letters of compassion, instruction, and admonition were meant to instruct and strengthen the leaders and the members of these churches. Filled with great insights taken from the original language, this volume will help you understand more deeply the pastoral love of Paul.

Jessica Alba in Designer Jeans
Jessica Alba in a AG Adriano Goldschmied Collette Shirt in Wave
Jessica Alba got stalked by the paparazzi while doing her grocery shopping with her mum in Beverly Hills, California a couple of days ago. I find it really strange that they even watch celebs shopping in the stores!
Jess wore a pretty floral maxi dress with sandals, but layered an AG Adriano Goldschmied The Collette Shirt in Wave over the top. I actually think this combination is beautiful and I'm really excited to start getting sightings of maxi dresses with denim jackets and shirts, I love those looks! Buy AG Jeans online at Shopbop.com.

Jessica Alba in J Brand Skinny Legging Jeans in Bluebird
Jessica Alba posed for the cameras while attending Anthropologie's A Denim Story event. She wore a pair of J Brand's The High rise skinny jeans with a blue leopard print blazer and blue suede pumps. Jessica also posed for photos with the brand's founders Emily Current and Merritt Elliott who also wore pieces from Current/Elliott.
I love that these have a bit of a higher rise and look really flattering with her tee shirt tucked in. I wish we'd see Jessica wear higher rise styles more often. You can buy J Brand jeans online from Shopbop.com.
Jessica Alba in 7 For All Mankind Skinny Jeans in Destroyed Rue De Lille
Jessica Alba and her husband were spotted out taking their family for breakfast. Both Jessica and Cash wore 7 For All Mankind jeans. Jessica wore her 7 For all Mankind slim cigarette jeans in destroyed Rue de Lille with a green army jacket and sandals.
As Lorna mentioned, it looks like Jessica cut the hems of these to be a little cropped. This is one of my favorite looks. I think it gives the jeans a great undone look and they're a little more customized. You can buy 7 For All Mankind jeans online from 7forallmankind.com.
Jessica Alba in 7 For All Mankind Slim Cigarette Jeans in Destroyed Rue De Lille
Jessica Alba was seen shopping at the The Organic Pharmacy today in Los Angeles, California. I love getting sightings of her because she's always dressed so stylishly.
Jess wore her 7 For All Mankind Slim Cigarette Jeans in Destroyed Rue De Lille with a black blazer, Charlotte Olympia kitty flats and mirrored sunglasses. It looks like Jess has chopped off the hems of these jeans to make them more cropped, which is something I am noticing quite a few celebs are doing at the moment. What do you think of raw hems?

2008 Clinton. Connecting with Voters?
posted by January 23 at 13:23 PMon
It seems to me that every time there's a televised debate starring the Democratic candidates, it helps Hillary Clinton.
She was supposed to get walloped in NH. There was a debate. She won the primary three days later.
Nevada was supposed to be too close to call. There was a debate. She cleaned up the popular vote.
In South Carolina there was a debate on Monday that set a national cable viewership record for debates4.9 million viewers.
Well, check out the national tracking polls. On the day of the debate (Monday night 1/19) Clinton was leading Obama 38 to 32. She'd been hovering between 37 and 38 for a while. Well, promptly after the debate in SC she jumped to a 42 to 30 lead.
My gut tells me Obama is the better nominee, but Clinton sure seems to score points with the public after televised debates.
Obama is supposed to win SC pretty handily and that might give him some momentum going into February 5th's primary showdown, but there's also going to be another Democratic debate in Los Angeles on January 31.
Here's hoping CNN pulls a Kucinich on Edwards, and we get to see Obama and Clinton really tangle.


text: Now that we have the 8.0 Mixed doubles out of the way, the 7.0 mixed doubles was another story. As you saw from my analysis for the 8.0 mixed doubles league, hybrid teams barely had a winning record. In the 7.0 league, that was a huge difference as a hybrid team of a 4.0 player combined with a 3.0 went 18-9 against a 3.5/3.5 combo team. Of the hybrid team, a 4.0 woman and 3.0 man went 5-5 while a 4.0 man and 3.0 woman combo went 13-4 against a traditional 3.5/3.5 team. 3.5/3.5 teams went 4-1 against a 3.5/3.0 team and a 4.0/3.0 team went 1-0 against a 3.5/3.0 team. In this league, a hybrid team can make a difference between winning and losing as evidenced by the Miller team that consisted of alot of hybrid teams and went undefeated during the regular season and captured the playoffs to advance to sectionals.

When dealing with an unconscious unresponsive patient you will want to follow the ABCs of CPR and First Aid
Someone who is unconscious is not sleeping. Rather, an unconscious person is hard to rouse or can't be made aware of his or her surroundings. Unconsciousness is caused by illness, injury or emotional shock.
Signs and SymptomsThere are many levels of unconsciousness. Some are more serious than others. Levels include unconscious episodes that are:
- Brief - Examples are fainting or blacking out.
- Longer - The victim is incoherent when roused.
- Prolonged - A person in a coma, for example, can be motionless and not at all aware of his or her surroundings for a very long time.
Causes of Unconsciousness
Management of The Unconscious PatientAn unconscious patient is unable to give an account of what has happened to them. Try and gain as much history from those at the scene and from any injuries sustained as to what may of happened.
Primary Survey
- Danger - Looking for Dangers to yourself and Casualty
- Response - Checking Response (AVPU). Use the Glasgow Coma Scale to ascertain level of consciousness
- Airway - Examining the Airway for obstruction and Cervical Spine Control in the event of any possible trauma
- Breathing - Look, Listen and Feel for adequate respiratory effort. Supplement with O2 to correct hypoxia if saturations are below 95%
- Circulation - Checking the Circulation. If a carotid pulse is not palpable then resuscitation should be commenced
- Rectify any problems encountered in your primary survey before moving onto your secondary survey
Secondary SurveyHead, check:
- Skull for irregularity or scalp wounds
- Ears (blood or CSF)
- Eyes for pupil size and reaction (PEARL)
- Lips for color (cyanosed)
- Jaw for displacement
- Mouth for loose or missing teeth or bitten tongue (Epilepsy)
- Skin color, texture and temperature (Flushed, Dry and Hot) etc
- Clavicles for bruising and possible fractures
- Sternum
- Ribs - fractures and abnormal breathing
- Rigidity and guarding
- Pulsating masses
- Bruising
- Pelvis fractures or abnormal movement
- Groin for dampness
- Irregularity, deformity and fractures (compare limbs with each other)
- Flexion and extension without aggravating any injury
- Signs of drug abuse (Needle marks)
- Identity bracelets
- Capillary refill and distal pulses
- Scapulae for fractures
- Spine for irregularities
- If not done so already look for any form of identity, cards or bracelets
Before moving onto each section on the secondary survey check the patients ABC's
Collate as much information as possible about the patient
- Signs & Symptoms
- Allergies
- Medication
- Past pertinent medical history (Epilepsy, Diabetes)
- Last meal
- Events leading up to the illness or injury- What has happened?
Vital Signs - Monitor
- Respiratory Rate
- Pulse Rate
- Blood Glucose Levels (Correct hypoglycaemia with Glucagon/Hypostop if required)
- Oxygen Saturation (SP02)
- Temperature
Continue to Observe:
- Airway
- Respirations
- Circulation
- Bleeding
Note: Even though the patient may appear unresponsive it doesn't mean they can't hear you. Keep talking to the patient as hearing is the last sense lost.
Unconscious patientsIn the unconscious patient, after the airway is opened the next area to assess is the patient's breathing,[15] primarily to find if the patient is making normal respiratory efforts. Normal breathing rates are between 12 and 30 breaths per minute,[18] and if a patient is breathing below the minimum rate, then in current ILCOR basic life support protocols, CPR should be considered, although professional rescuers may have their own protocols to follow, such as artificial respiration.
Rescuers are often warned against mistaking agonal breathing, which is a series of noisy gasps occurring in around 40% of cardiac arrest victims, for normal breathing.[15]
If a patient is breathing, then the rescuer will continue with the treatment indicated for an unconscious but breathing patient, which may include interventions such as the recovery position and summoning an ambulance.[19]

We wish to determine the approximate number of turns on the primary and secondary windings. Toward this end, three turns of wire are wound around the external winding, and a voltmeter is connected across this 3-turn coil. A voltage of 76 V is then applied to the 120 V winding, and the voltage across the 3-turn winding is found to be 0.93 V. How many turns are there on the 480 V and 120 V windings (approximately)?

Music Seattle Opera at the Arctic
On February 23, 1945, American soldiers raised this flag at Iwo Jima.
On July 20, 1969, American astronauts planted this flag on the moon.
And yesterday, at 9:30 am, Charles Cossé, outdoorsman, president of Cossé International Securities, and trustee for the Seattle Opera, planted this flag at the North Pole.
From the press release: "Seattle Opera's flag will not be left at the Pole. Conscious of the potential impact on the environment of leaving items in the Arctic, Cossé plans to return the flag to Seattle Opera to be placed in the company's archives."
The combination of luxury, frivolity, and conscientiousness is just… amazing.

We are planning to upgrade to an SUV. Although- I know it would be most practicle I'm wanting to stick to SUV and not a mini van. What are your suggestions? We've looked at Honda Pilot, Acadia's, etc. but I don't want to spend a ton of money.??
We are keeping 1 car and hoping we can fit them all in! Hopefully, my 3 year old will be in a booster seat by then so we will try to get a narrow one.

In the beginning, there was so much hope. But now, after a campaign that has absorbed so much misfortune and disappointment in the past nine months, John Force will remember the 2007 NHRA POWERade season as one of the most physically and emotionally grueling of his legendary career.
During Sunday's second round of Funny Car eliminations at the 22nd O'Reilly Fall Nationals at the Texas Motorplex, south of Dallas, Force was involved in a catastrophic collision with Kenny Bernstein just after both cars crossed the finish line. Bernstein's Monster Energy Dodge -- racing in the right lane -- edged toward the centerline and struck a foam timing block, resulting in immediate disqualification, just as Force's Castrol Syntec Mustang was thrown into a sudden swerve, striking Bernstein's race car broadside.
Force's chassis split in half and was demolished; Bernstein's Funny Car had its body knocked off, otherwise avoiding any hard impact. Bernstein safely coasted to a stop and walked away uninjured.
Force, though, was still strapped in the cockpit of his machine when NHRA Safety Safari rescue workers reached the 14-time champion. After being removed from the wreck and airlifted to nearby Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, Force was diagnosed with a severely broken left ankle, a deep laceration on his right knee, a fractured and dislocated left wrist, and abrasive injuries to his right hand.
John Force Racing spokesman Dave Densmore reflected the sentiments of everyone who had witnessed what is considered to be the worst accident of Force's career.
"John is very, very lucky he wasn't hurt more seriously," he said. "It could have been much worse."
Shortly after Force arrived at the hospital, the waiting area at the hospital was filled with family members and friends, including Bernstein, wife Sheryl and son Brandon; Gary Scelzi; Force's wife, Laurie, daughter Ashley and teammate and son-in-law Robert Hight; and the JFR tuning team of Austin Coil, Bernie Fedderly, John Medlen and Jimmy Prock.
Heading into the 2007 season, John Force Racing was anticipating a banner year. Force was prepared to defend his unprecedented 14th championship; Ashley was making her professional debut aboard a fourth team car; Hight had finished second in the 2006 points in only his second season in the category; and Eric Medlen was primed and ready to improve upon his fourth-place points finish in '06.
But Force got off to the slowest start of his championship era, falling back in the points early on and failing to win his first national event of the year until Bristol, Tenn., in May. He rallied late in the Countdown to Eight to move into the playoff segment of the new points system, but now has seen his season come to a devastating halt with three events remaining.
His close friend and talented teammate Medlen lost his life in March after a testing accident in Gainesville, Fla., inspiring Force to implement his own research and development efforts to increase the level of driver safety in the Funny Car class.
Meanwhile, Ashley battled inconsistency in her program throughout the early stages of the season, preventing her from making the elite eight in the Countdown rankings. Her frightening accident during the national event in Seattle in July gave her family and team members an anxious moment as she escaped injury when her car made hard contact with the retaining wall at Pacific Raceways.
Only Hight has pieced together a relatively consistent season, remaining at or near the top in the Countdown points and positioning himself for a solid run for the '07 title. Despite a DNQ this weekend, Hight will enter the final race of the Countdown to Four in Richmond, Va., in two weeks in second place. Had Force not suffered the second-round collision with Bernstein, he would have left Dallas in no worse than fourth place in the Countdown standings.
But with Force's lengthy recovery period on the horizon and the 2007 NHRA schedule winding down, the sport's winningest driver has been robbed of his role in the dramatic conclusion to this year's Funny Car championship saga. To say his presence will be missed on the drag racing stage would be an egregious understatement, and for many devoted fans of the sport's biggest attraction, the season might already be over.
In the final analysis, that might not be an altogether bad thing. This has been a year to forget for John Force.

Peer-to-peer (P2P) databases are becoming prevalent on the Internet for distribution and sharing of documents, applications, and other digital media. The problem of answering large-scale ad hoc analysis queries, for example, aggregation queries, on these databases poses unique challenges. Exact solutions can be time consuming and difficult to implement, given the distributed and dynamic nature of P2P databases. In this paper, we present novel sampling-based techniques for approximate answering of ad hoc aggregation queries in such databases. Computing a high-quality random sample of the database efficiently in the P2P environment is complicated due to several factors: the data is distributed (usually in uneven quantities) across many peers, within each peer, the data is often highly correlated, and, moreover, even collecting a random sample of the peers is difficult to accomplish. To counter these problems, we have developed an adaptive two-phase sampling approach based on random walks of the P2P graph, as well as block-level sampling techniques. We present extensive experimental evaluations to demonstrate the feasibility of our proposed solution.

APNA Members Should Vote for Me Because: I am an experienced leader who believes that there are no limits to the collective ingenuity, creativity and strength of PMH nurses. In 1990, I stopped saying "schizophrenic," "borderline," and "alcoholic," replacing these deeply engrained terms with "people with a diagnosis of.." and "people managing the symptoms of…" Though I still struggle, I keep trying to use language that says, "nurses put people at the center of the healthcare equation." I believe that every psychiatric-mental health nurse looks past the mental illness or addiction, finds the person, and partners with them to find optimal health and quality of life. Currently, we have exciting opportunities to stop merely improving care and, instead, start forging a new standard of EXQUISITE care and quality of life for people with mental illness and substance abuse diagnoses: the Affordable Care Act mandates that insurers cover mental health and substance abuse treatment as fully as physical illnesses and reimburse for preventative intervention; insurers are asking for evidence of psychosocial intervention effectiveness; and PMH nurses are needed to integrate behavioral health into primary healthcare. I bring energy, leadership experience, belief in the strength of diversity and an inclusive leadership style to key decisions. These qualities are needed to fully engage APNA members and to collectively use the powerful educational and scientific resources of APNA to insure that people are truly at the center of these sweeping healthcare changes.
How I Can Help Fulfill APNA's Purpose As A Scientific and Education Organization: I have listened deeply to APNA members and cherished their contributions as they provided care in many different settings, generated knowledge, tested practice innovations and educated the next generation of PMH nurses. Our diverse and representative practice community gives APNA the power to promote PMH nursing values and practice standards in mental health and addiction care. If elected, I will champion new practice-relevant educational and scientific resources, networking and mentoring infrastructures, and nurturing communities that serve the unique and emerging needs of all APNA members. I will promote new ways to engage APNA members in developing to their fullest professional potential and work tirelessly with APNA members to assure that individuals, families and communities benefit from the current changes in healthcare.

Other Experience
In addition to working in community mental health in San Francisco and Seattle, I have been an educator for the past 18 years. I am proud to have played a role in the education of approximately 250 PMHNPs and hundreds of undergraduate students. Additionally, my experience leading the establishment of the first Veterans Administration Nursing Academy Partnership for Graduate Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing has been invaluable in understanding the synergy between education and clinical practice. Our partnership has taught me the importance of population health (in this case, Veterans) and how an interprofessional team can work to prevent psychiatric readmissions and support Veterans in living with dignity in their communities.
APNA Members Should Vote for Me Because: I find great meaning in working with people who live with mental illness. Practicing for the last nine years as a PMHNP in a primary care clinic for people with HIV has truly helped me to understand the phrase, "There is no health without mental health." By integrating mental health care into primary care, treatment costs for physical illnesses are being reduced and our patients with serious mental illness are receiving better access to primary care. Treatment works, if you can access it. I will work interprofessionally at the local, state, and national levels to advocate for all Americans because access to health care is a civil right.
How I Can Help Fulfill APNA's Purpose As A Scientific and Education Organization: Scientific and educational innovations for mental health care include a greater focus on early intervention, use of technology, and a focus on recovery for all people with mental illness. Recovery goes beyond psychiatric symptom remission; rather, recovery means living a self-directed life and includes concepts of health, home, purpose, and community. As always, nursing leadership will be required to improve processes and implement the recovery model. APNA's purpose of providing leadership to promote psychiatric-mental health nursing and improve mental health care is in keeping with my leadership style which includes principles of authentic leadership (self-awareness, purpose and optimism). Every person deserves the right to live in the community, with a sense of purpose and direction, having hope for the future. APNA is truly a leadership academy, building leaders who are helping others to achieve this aim.

DOE Warns Of lab Layoffs
Department: Government & Policy
Some 1,800 nuclear weapons lab staff would have to be laid off to comply with congressional funding cuts to the Department of Energy 2009 budget request. The House Appropriations Committee recently reduced the President's request for DOE's nuclear weapons program by $416 million to $6.2 billion, $96 million less than the 2008 appropriation, including a rescission of $165 million from previously approved funds. This marks the latest in a string of flat or reduced budgets . . .

Megan- This is the third negative post you have written implying that Rosie doesn't actually post her own stuff. I for one am sick of your negativity! I imagine that on occasion Rosie may ask for someone to post for her as she she's out of pocket or too busy and knows that over 500K people have her in their G+ circle and they enjoy keeping up with Rosie's activities. Further, I like seeing entertainers community support activities. So, can it if you can't write anything positive!

FORT WORTH, Texas -- By now, perhaps, she is coming down from the clouds, catching up on her sleep, thinking about new goals. Annika Sorenstam doesn't have much time to let the love-fest from Colonial linger. She's got an LPGA tournament title to defend this weekend.
No doubt, however, she will have a hard time putting the historic week behind her. Not matter your take on the subject, even the most narrow-minded of thinkers would have to admit that Sorenstam showed us something, and should be commended.
Her rounds of 71-74 gained her considerable respect and admiration, if not a spot in the weekend field.
Does that prove anything?
It depends on your perspective. Some believe it was a huge victory for women's sports, and a shot in the arm for women in general. Others will point out that on a course she hand-picked, Sorenstam missed the cut by four shots and finished ahead of just 11 players.
With a controversial sponsor's exemption used so that she could test herself against the best, Sorenstam missed nary a shot during Thursday's opening round and still couldn't break par. Nonetheless, she shattered a widespread perception that she would be embarrassed. She showed an amazing resolve and an ability to perform under extreme duress. Hitting a golf ball with the eyes of the world watching is difficult enough; doing so with such precision was the stuff of legend.
Yet it likely wasn't enough to cause a slew of women to start pitching for invites on the PGA Tour. The courses are too long, the games too divergent for this to become a trend. There might be an occasional player, such as 13-year-old phenom Michelle Wie, who comes along. But it will be rare.
As good as Sorenstam is, she finished last in the field in driving distance and putting. And one leads to the other. Because she was not in position to have short iron shots to the flags, she could never get close enough to have makeable birdie putts. That led to a lot of lag putting, and several three-putt bogeys.
And that meant a rare missed cut for Sorenstam, 32, who has missed just eight in her 10-year career on the LPGA Tour, and only four since her rookie season.
"She's a great player and I'm not taking anything away from what she's done,'' said former Colonial champion Fulton Allem. "But sometimes you've got to dream with your feet on the ground. For any woman to think that she's going to compete against the guys on this tour playing the yardages, the kind of conditions and the golf courses we play, she'll have to pump a lot of iron.''
I think most of the guys -- like myself -- when she announced this, there was a little skepticism in how she was going to play. She won me over 110 percent like I think she did almost everybody on our tour. "
-- Jeff Sluman
Allem was among those critical of Sorenstam's invitation, and although he held an opinion shared by many, some of his comments bordered on asinine, including this absurd assessment: "(If) you're a man ... what would you think if somebody said, 'We're going to give your spot to a woman?' I'm taking nothing away from her. She's a great women's player, blah, blah, blah. But I don't walk around being nine months pregnant.''
Good thing he cleared that up, because Allem sure has a healthy gut obscuring the view of his belt buckle.
Nonetheless, his fears and the fears of many that escalated her appearance into a national debate were unfounded. A sponsor used an exemption as it saw fit, and the best female player in the world benefited. Nobody was hurt, and golf enjoyed widespread attention.
Sorenstam, meanwhile, picked up a slew of fans and received more acclaim for two rounds of golf than she did for winning 11 times on the LPGA Tour last year. PGA Tour veteran Jeff Sluman was among those impressed, and told her so Friday night after she finally completed the last of her interviews.
"It's important to tell her my opinion,'' Sluman said. "I think most of the guys -- like myself -- when she announced this, there was a little skepticism in how she was going to play. She won me over 110 percent like I think she did almost everybody on our tour.''
Two rounds of golf probably aren't enough to prove anything, and Sorenstam insists there will not be another attempt at the PGA Tour. So take it for what it was: an accomplished champion golfer taking on the ultimate challenge, and acquitting herself quite well.

Government goes to those who show up. FreedomWorks makes it easy to hold your elected officials accountable in our fully interactive Action Center.
Want to see how your legislators voted on key FreedomWorks issues? You can use our key vote scorecards to see how they measure up.
Knowledge is power. It makes sure people understand what is happening to their country, and how they can make a difference. FreedomWorks University will give you the tools to understand economics, the workings of government, the history of the American legal system, and the most important debates facing our nation today. Enroll in FreedomWorks University today!
As one of our more than 6.9 million FreedomWorks members nationwide, I urge you to contact your representative and ask him or her to support the following amendments to the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill, H.R. 2578.
There are plenty of provisions in the newly released $1.014 trillion hybrid spending bill, dubbed the "CROmnibus," that are unwise, wasteful, and bad public policy. There are, however, some policy victories tucked away in the more than 1,600-page document, among them a provision that blocks the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services from using taxpayer funds to bailout health insurance companies that participate in ObamaCare.
Budget negotiations have failed and Speaker Boehner is likely to opt for a lame duck solution. Little good can come from this for the cause of liberty.
As one of our over 6 million FreedomWorks activists nationwide, I urge you to contact your representative and urge him or her to vote YES on the following amendments to the Commerce, Science, Justice, and Related Appropriations Act, H.R. 4660. FreedomWorks may score votes for any of the following fiscally conservative amendments in its 2014 Congressional Scorecard.
Additional amendments may be added to this list as necessary:
Capitol Hill Update, 28 April, 2014
Dear FreedomWorks member,As one of our millions of FreedomWorks members nationwide, I urge you to contact your U.S. Senators and urge them to vote NO on H.R. 933, which contains the Continuing Resolution (CR) to fund the federal government through the end of Fiscal Year 2013.
Many Members of Congress are talking the talk of limited government and fiscal responsibility, but who is actually walking the walk? When it comes to making the hard decisions that will get the government off its spending binge and back on the path of fiscal sanity, what Congressmen are living up to the task?
Dear Senator, On behalf of over one million FreedomWorks members nationwide, I urge you to vote no on H.R. 3082, which as currently formulated would fund the government for the next ten months at current 2010 levels. With Congress failing to pass any of the required 12 annual appropriation bills, leaders have opted to put forth a massive $1.1 trillion continuing resolution that includes a number of costly provisions. If the proposed "omnibus" spending bill is introduced as a substitute for the continuing resolution, we also encourage you to vote against that.

Criticisms of the church address it as though church leaders set the doctrine
themselves and direct the church like a business - like other churches do. And
when members respond, they address it in the same way - like a club or
organization they really like. But the church really isn't a "Mormon
Church" led by people who compiled a doctrine and then shopped it to the
general public to see who would buy. It's God's church with imperfect
humans called to lead it.
I wish members were better at redirecting criticisms of the church and its history to be criticisms of how God restored His church, how he refined his people and how he directs his servants to operate His church. I'm sure the leaders would love to comply with popular opinion and not cause so many waves, but it's not up to them. Critics miss the spiritual side of the gospel because they're critiquing a man-made church, not realizing they're actually critiquing the way God restored His gospel.
I'm grateful God didn't appear to Joseph Smith in a burning bush. Can you imagine the critiques of that?

Well done, Mr. Johnston. One of your best. The apt observation by Ralph Waldo
Emerson is a treasure. You employed it perfectly.
Not every decision of every leader of the Church is perfect and free from blemish. I am increasingly humbled to witness God's willingness to permit free agency to work through every aspect of mortality, even His Church, which benefits from continuous inspiration in so many respects. To the extent we can accept the subtle workings of free agency, doubt transforms to faith and scorn transforms to awe. The Church is wonderful, but God is overwhelmingly more.

In his article Johnston wrote,
"As a result, the only motive that makes sense to secular writers is self-interest, or delusion. Yet LDS history overflows with examples of sane people acting against self-interest. Joseph returning from the territories to be slain, the rescuers heading off to Martin's Cove. Examples have filled histories."
I assure you that secularists can and do see the value in rescuing those in need of help. To say that secularists can't understand it in others implies that secularists themselves are incapable of acting selflessly. Not a fair comment to make in my opinion.

nicely stated edit; thnx
i know how i define "prophet", "seer", "revelator"
i can look at many dictionary definitions of those words
i can't know what God defines them, unless He tells me
God and or Jesus Christ calls persons to be PSR then tells them what their job function is/are
i'm certain definitions don't state prophets, seers and revelators know everything abt everything all the time, are perfect, full of water-walking faith (peter), collective power to heal the sick (apostles asking Jesus why they were unable to heal.) did moses ? does Jesus Christ Himself know when His Father will send Him again at the 2nd Coming; neither He nor the angels. is moses not a prophet because he didn't say a single word abt caffeine (aka coke or pepsi) or tobacco but he said chickens and lobster/shrimp are not to be eaten.
Heavenly Father tells us what He decides to tell, when He decides. both tithing and and words of wisdom are anciently expressed, but have not had the same emphasis in The Church as they do today. little by little He reveals, line by line, precept by precept

"To say that secularists can't understand it in others implies that secularists themselves are incapable of acting selflessly. Not a fair comment to make in my opinion"
Where does the author imply this claim beyond subjective bias? Human interpretation is a powerful gift but often evasive of the truth. All the more reason why we need spiritual guidance to know and live truth as it really exists, not how we want to see it.
Truth is free from human bias and unchanging. Science has many truths that no one can dispute because they govern the operations of what humans understand about the physical world. But, why do we as a whole and not just this example here, think we know best in ourselves and those who identify with our causes to think truth is completely in us?
We know nothing without God and it is by revelation from Him that we have any knowledge upon the world today. This is a powerful concept that will be known to everyone in life or death. All that can be done is invite people to seek for that which doesn't change with popular culture of the ages.

My experience is that if any comment can be misinterpreted or taken out of
context, some who disagrees on the issue will do it, and things meant as
generalities will be taken as absolutes. John Marx response is a perfect
example. I didn't see the intent of the author's comments as to say
that secularists are incapable of seeing the value of the acts referred to. I
think the intent was to state that people within the Church are imperfect and
while some strive for perfection and fall short, there are others that fall way
short. Perhaps the author's wording did not match his intent well, but
that's because he is an imperfect being who makes mistakes just like the
rest of us.
You can find faults and negative examples within any organization if that's what you're looking for. Conversely, you can find positives and positive examples within the worst of organizations if that's what you're looking for. Yes, some regrettable things happened in Mormon history and some things tried failed. What I think is trying to be communicated is that you can only truly understand the Mormon faith through faith.

Beaver Native, in general I agree with your thoughts, but what I don't understand, and perhaps someone can explain it to me, is: why is the Mormon church , or it's defenders, always trying to re-write the church history, or cover up and white wash so many facts, Why not open up the church archives and records to qualified researchers , Mormon and non-Mormon, and let the truth shine through . It seems it would be so much better than the constant cherry picking ,supposedly faith promoting, arguments and articles. Perhaps it is time for the church to grow up and take the members off the milk and junk food diet and give them the truth to chew on. They be surprising more intelligence and attuned than some may think.

This is a great article...so far. @John Marx, I only read that Mr. Johnston wrote, "the only motive that makes sense to secular writers...." I do not believe that Mr. Johnston was referring to all "secularists" beliefs, an idea that would be untenable.

RE:Ralph Waldo Emerson would say, they see only the needles, not the
Emerson was a transcendentalists, some have claimed to be Christian; however,the idea that a human, intuitive understanding of "the transcendental" can bring us to the truth is misguided. Transcendentalism directly conflicts with the biblical command to "lean not on your own understanding" (Proverbs 3:5).
But the transcendentalists did more than trust their feelings.
They also received guidance from Romantic poets like William Wordsworth and from the sacred texts of Hinduism. Thoreau, in Walden, spoke of how "in the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmological philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita."
The Bible is truth (John 17:17). The heart of man is deceitful (Jeremiah 17:9). Those who rely on their own intuition and "good sense" to lead them to spiritual truth will find themselves being led astray (Isaiah 53:6).

I've seen you write previously with respect to hiding history and cherry picking what Church leaders want to reveal.
Could it be that instead of focusing on the mistakes of imperfect individuals, the message is not about what was done wrong, but how members can more fully serve God each day?
If you dwell in negativity and criticism, then the Spirit of God is not with you. If Church leaders who serve tirelessly dwell upon these things, how are they following Christ who taught we must go on and improve, constantly relying upon Him for strength beyond our own?
It is the naysayers, unbelievers, and those who feel the need to expend so much effort to tear down the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, who act in this type of negativity. Jesus said to take the 'beam' out of our own eye before attempting to remove the 'mote' from another's eye.
For all who do harbor anger and criticism for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, yet choose not to understand it by firsthand immersion, ask yourselves, who do you care so much?

"...many writers today are like the guy who gazes at a rose in a bell jar,
hoping to catch a whiff of its scent."
I think this more closely describes believers. Believers gaze upon the rose in the bell jar and convince themselves that they smell the scent.
Skeptics open the jar to determine if there really is one. What we've found is that, not only does the rose have no scent, it is artificial and man made.

Many critics of the church find it unacceptable that others believe differently than they do and that intelligent people who are members of the church not only believe but have strong convictions. Critics are not content to disagree. Church teachings and doctrine often go against what they want and therefore must not be merely tollerated but taken apart and silenced. In my opinion this is why many care.

Sorry Mr. Johnson but simply because people have provided evidence that the
church isn't true and yet the church goes on does not support in any way
the actual truthfulness of the church. Every church on earth has critics. The
history of the Catholic church is filled with awful episodes, much worse than
anything in Mormon history. Crusades, inquisitions, abuse, and much more - yet
the Catholic church is still thriving. Does that mean the Catholic church is
true? Does it mean it's even more true than the Mormon church because
it's gone trough worse and still survives?
I don't expect the Mormon church to "fold up like a homemade canoe" even as more and more evidence comes to like about it's fraudulent start and and clearly faked scriptures. No, the church will go on just like so so many of the churches around the world that Mormons consider false.

Yes people make mistakes etc, but then again we have seen examples of church leadership leading the church down the wrong path. This needs to be explained and talked about.
I think the church would be best suited to give us a non whitewashed history of the church in our lesson manuals. The truth is always best.

What would be the point? Unless you suspect that in Church history there is some story hidden that betrays everything the restored church is founded upon. Namely, the first vision, and subsequent visions by Joseph Smith and many others. Restroration of Priesthood, The coming forth of the Book of Mormon. Those are the foundation of the LDS Church today. Unless you have a real reason to think that all of those things can be refuted by church history, looking at the warts of church history is just voyeurism.

@donn – "Transcendentalism directly conflicts with the biblical
command to "lean not on your own understanding" (Proverbs
So the Transcendentalists, and pretty much all the eastern traditions they found affinity with, are wrong because the Bible (at least how you interpret it) says so. Got it…
You do realize this is wholly unconvincing to anyone other than Bible literalists, yes? Not to mention it elevates (to a transcendental realm?) a form of logic used by all religious authorities regardless of tradition (i.e., the Imam extolls his fundamentalist followers in precisely the same manner, substituting the Quran in place of the Bible).
@Karen R. – "Skeptics open the jar to determine if there really is one. What we've found is that, not only does the rose have no scent, it is artificial and man made."

@ Eternal Perspective,
Thank you for your response, I agree with you for the most part. However, I don't believe because a skeptics does not wish to be led by blind faith that he harbors anger or criticism. If there is a god, then I believe he sheds his light and truth universal. It is mans politics that hides the truth to deceive others and lead them blindly. The same as with Communism, religion, politics capitalism and all other isms, etc. Demand the truth, learn the truth, because if there is a personal god then that is where he, she it must be. It may be nature and Mother Earth are our only gods, I don't know, and I don't believe any one knows. We all just have believes or feelings. You believe you have found your god, then be honest about it, the same for the Muslims and Allah, and all other believers . Incidentally, I share positive feelings with some of the Mormon doctrine and I believe JS was a genius in is own right.

There are none so blind as those who refuse to see! Spiritual truth can only be
discerned by those with eyes to see, can only be heard by those with ears to
hear, and can only be known and understood by those with a heart that feels and
The secular critics of the spiritual-minded simply can't relate; they can't see, can't hear, can't feel what can only be seen, heard and felt by the Spirit. This may not be their fault, because these abilities are spiritual gifts that are not given to all, and which must be sought after in order to obtain.

Police say that the remains found in Heathrow Park this morning are that of a baby.
City workers made the gruesome discovery as they were cleaning out a drain at about 9:20 a.m. The park is in the area of Jane St and Wilson Ave.
Det Nick Nei says that given only the lower parts of the body were found, they are unable to determine the gender or ethnicity of the infant.
He adds that the remains may be a couple of weeks old.
Police also say that it is unknown where the remains originated as the drain where they were found flows from various side streets in the area.

iReport NB 0.9.1 (for NetBeans) released!
The iReport Team is pleased to announce the new iReport release: NB 0.9.1.
This is the second version of iReport based on the NetBeans Platform. iReport is available as standalone application (based on the NetBeans RCP) and as NetBeans module for NetBeans IDE 6.0+.

About the version number
The iReport version is normally in sync with the shipped JasperReports version. In order to avoid confusion with the current version of iReport (that we still consider the preferred one for production environments) we decide to use a different version number approach: nb-x.y.z.
Until iReport for NetBeans will not completely replace the "old" version of iReport, we will increment this version number. Then (summer 2008) we will bring iR to EOL, and iR for NB will inherits the privilege to be released with the same JR version number.

This pilot study paves the way for a larger, NIH-funded Study of Targeted Risk Reduction Interventions With Defined Exercise (STRRIDE), which will help define just how much physical activity -- in terms of intensity and frequency -- is necessary to improve a mildly overweight person's heart disease risk factors, says Krauss.
The larger study will measure effects of various exercise programs, including a two- or three-day-a-week regimen. Krauss tells WebMD, "There's a lot of confusion in the lay press about how much exercise we should be doing. As a community of health professionals, we say that doing something is better than nothing, that you can divide exercise into three parts, at 10 minutes each, and do it on your breaks or at lunch time. But we don't know whether that translates into health benefits; we really don't. It's not been proven."
Krauss compares his work with the famous Nurses Health Study, which showed that women who walked for exercise reduced incidence of cardiovascular events like heart attacks. The study also showed that more vigorous exercise gave the volunteers more small, incremental health benefits. However, the study was inconclusive, says Krauss. "It didn't show whether vigorous exercise was better for optimal benefit. In our study, we'll be measuring that."
Calling the study's results very promising, Virendra Mathur, MD, a cardiologist with the Texas Heart Institute at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital in Houston, tells WebMD, "We've known for a very long time that moderate aerobic exercise is very helpful in not only preventing cardiovascular risk factors but also in reducing weight, improving control of hypertension and type 2 diabetes, reducing osteoporosis and fractures. I'm very happy to read that sometimes you can have the benefit of these exercise programs even without weight loss."
The study is preliminary and has limitations, says Mathur. "How long will health benefits last after people quit exercise programs? Will there be additional decreases in 'bad' cholesterol levels if they keep with the exercise program? Also, we don't know much about their diet -- did they start eating a lower-fat diet? Did they start making other smaller changes in their lifestyles? Were they walking faster in the parking lot, for instance? There are a lot of intangibles that aren't addressed here."

Tom Smart, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — In any story about Jake Murphy, the University of Utah's tight end by way of BYU and American Fork High, there is the inevitable mention of the old man, so let's get that out of the way.
Jake Murphy is the son of Dale Murphy, the former Major League Baseball superstar who was as famous for his clean, polite persona as he was for home runs. He and his wife Nancy produced eight children, one short of a baseball team, and Jake is sixth in the batting order.
These days you can find Dale, a man who was once mobbed everywhere he went, hanging out on the sideline during Ute scrimmages, relatively unrecognized and unmolested as he keeps an eye on Jake. All of which is a strange turn of events in itself.
Murphy lives in Utah Valley, not far from BYU, and has dozens of friends and long-time acquaintances at the school. Nancy was a BYU cheerleader (she is finishing her degree at the school now). Dale himself attended BYU for a few weeks in 1978, shortly after joining the LDS Church and two years into what would be an 18-year Major League career. Two of Murphy's sons graduated from BYU. The Murphys have owned BYU football season tickets for years (although they have rarely used them). Given all of the above, no one was surprised when Jake signed a letter of intent with the BYU football team as a high school junior.
Yet here he is, wearing a red and white jersey, No. 82 in your program.
"Apparently, he rethought his position," says Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham.
"It wasn't anything personal," says Jake. "Utah was the best fit for me."
Actually, they're being coy. It's much more complicated than that, but more on the subject later.
Maybe the elder Murphy was a seven-time All-Star and two-time National League MVP who hit 398 career homers, but his progeny are football players. Shawn, 6-foot-4 and 315 pounds, was drafted in the fourth round of the 2008 NFL draft by the Miami Dolphins out of Utah State. After stints with Carolina and Tampa Bay, he is trying to make the cut with the Denver Broncos on the offensive line. His younger brother McKay, another lineman, plans to walk on at Utah after returning from a church mission. Then there is Jake.
When he left to serve a two-year church mission to Australia in 2008, he was a wide receiver. He returned as a tight end. He gained 50 pounds on his mission and grew himself right into a new position. At 6-4 and 255 pounds, he is battling for playing time at a hybrid tight-end, H-back position.
"I've been playing a little bit of everything," Jake said following a recent scrimmage in which he caught three passes for 65 yards.
"He still has the athleticism he had when he was smaller," says Whittingham. "He has the good ball skills you would expect of a guy who played wide receiver. Like a lot of tight ends, he needs to work on other parts of his game."
Such as blocking.
Jake is calm, poised and polite, although you would have thought otherwise after a recent practice when a graduate assistant coach stood watch over a one-on-one interview between Murphy and a reporter.
"Just keeping an eye on him," he said, unsmiling behind dark glasses. When Jake gave the reporter his phone number, the assistant snapped, "You don't have to give him that."
Either this guy thinks he's a Secret Service agent or the new Pac-12 membership has put everyone on edge.
With Jake and his brothers committed to the gridiron, there will be no encore act for the Murphys in the Major Leagues. All of his sons tried baseball and some excelled, although, predictably, they were burdened with the name.
"The pressure never came from my dad," says Jake. "It came from the outside world. If I struck out, it was like, how can Dale Murphy's kid strike out?"

[The prices listed above may change at any time and in some cases do not include shipping.]
This is the one product I just keep coming back to. I have a whole shelf full of high and low end acne treatments and this is the holy grail. It dries out my oily skin well along with all the spots forming to slowly (give it time) shrink them down. I recommend anyone (mostly with oily skin) to give this a go and see if it helps. It also helps with acne scars!
This cream is good if you have just popped a spot or one is bleeding. It is not so good on whiteheads. Don't use it on blackheads because it clogs the pores up even more. Overall a good product makes you look as white as a ghost.
I have been using sudocrem for the last month or so when my friend recommended it to me; and I'm so glad I listened! Even though I used to have a rather mild acne on my face, it was more severe and painful on my chest and back. So, when I started using it as part of my evening routine, within a week my skin was practically clear! I also noticed it didn't dry out my skin and in fact, helped cure the dry skin which I had previously between my breasts. However, it doesn't help get rid of acne scarring and is impossible to wear during the day as it is thick, so leaves my skin looking paler and oily.
Will reduce the inflammation and size of pimples. Not a cure to acne but a good aid and although I have flirted with many products, I find myself coming back to this one.
About three weeks ago i woke up with loads, i mean LOADS of spots and i couldnt understand why as i was free from acne for over three months.
I didnt understand what to do and became very frustrated, my mum then reminded me we had a tub of sudocreme three days ago. That same night i applied sudocreme overnight and the next morning i saw a COMPLETE difference; the spots were minimised, the sore spots were cooled down. Its been three days and my skin is practically CLEAR.
PLEASE i urge you to get this product as i know how painfully and shameful it feels to walk around trying to cover up your skin.
P.s i saw someone on here asking does your skin colour have an affect on how effective this product can be. No i dont believe so as i am Black british and it has worked for many caucasian people also.
I hope this helped: BUY, BUY, BUY!
I use Sudocrem for just about anything that appears on my skin. I like to use it before bed time on any odd looking lumps on my face. It dries them out over night. It is cheap and effective.
I prefer not to use it during the day unless I am staying at home as I do tend to look very chalky as it is difficult to rub in.
Always ensure this is used on clean skin, as for all acne meds/creams or it can do more harm than good!
sudocrem is good to use on red active pimples but it does nothing on acne scars. if you have oily skin like me dont use it on your whole face because you'll break out
I'm with Emma888. It doesn't work on the acne as such, but the mark that the acne leaves behind are gonners with this super cream.:-)
Get a tissue and squeeze out the yellow stuff. ( only when the head goes white/yellow) Wait until it goes down (usually takes on day; two at most) and when there is only a mark/red spot, put the cream on, wait a couple hours (I leave it over night) then your spot will have gone. If you use to pick at it, it still I'll heal, but may take a little longer. Also, apply about 1/2 - 1mm of sudocrem, I've been doing this for two days (I used to pick the scab), and my face is clear. Hope it works XXX Georgia:-)
I have sudocrem on my spots for as long as I can remember, but it does not cure or prevent the acne at all. I use it on my angry red spots and blend it in to try to lessen the look of them but it usually just leaves me with a white stain. Good for spots that have been picked at or have bled, but I wouldn't use it as a treatment.
I was told this really helps a lot with acne wounds, but because mine tended to scab, it wasn't suitable to use because this really dries out the skin. But, it is very effective in lightening the skin once the wound is gone and it has left only redness on the face. As soon as I noticed that, I tried using it on a reddish area and it cleared up during the night, no more redness!
