Under the terms of the agreement, Toray will acquire all of the Company`s outstanding shares for $16.75 per share in cash, for a total equity value of approximately $584 million.
In connection with the execution of the merger agreement, Zsolt Rumy, the Company`s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, entered into a voting agreement with Toray, in which Mr. Rumy agreed to vote his Company stock, representing approximately 18% of the Company`s outstanding shares, in favor of the merger.
Following the closing of the transaction, the Company will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toray and operate as a separate business unit. The transaction is not subject to any financing condition and the parties are targeting a late 2013 or early 2014 closing, subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the Company`s shareholders and certain regulatory approvals.
The Company`s Board of Directors unanimously approved the transaction.
Mr. Rumy commented, "This transaction represents a great result for our shareholders, customers and employees. Toray provides unique opportunities to drive the continued growth of our commercial carbon fibers business well into the future."
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is serving as financial advisor to the Company and provided a fairness opinion to the Board. Thompson Coburn LLP is serving as counsel to the Company in connection with the transaction.

Will Obama Continue Bush's Faith-Based Discrimination?
Last July, Barack Obama gave a campaign speech touting "the value of a partnership between the White House and faith-based groups," and said that "Washington needs to draw on" faith-based organizations to make change happen. Even as he endorsed an expanded faith-based initiatives program, Obama readily acknowledged the constitutional questions and sought to quell concern that he would be blurring the line between church and state:
OBAMA: Now, make no mistake, as someone who used to teach constitutional law, I believe deeply in the separation of church and state, but I don't believe this partnership will endanger that idea — so long as we follow a few basic principles. First, if you get a federal grant, you can't use that grant money to proselytize to the people you help and you can't discriminate against them — or against the people you hire — on the basis of their religion.
In arguing that faith-based organizations must "retain their civil right to base employment decisions on their ideals and mission," President Bush in effect allowed religious groups to discriminate against people who didn't conform to their "ideals" — people like gay men and women. Obama's July speech made it clear he would change those rules.
Or so it seemed. TAPPED reported last night that, according to Joshua DuBois, Obama's pick to head the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighbhorhood Partnerships, the White House is wavering on overturning the Bush rule. Obama will sign an executive order today directing the Justice Department and White House lawyers to review the program to decide whether or not to continue to allow hiring discrimination. In the meantime, Bush's discriminatory rule will stand:
On the employment discrimination issue, [Rev. Welton Gaddy] Gaddy said that DuBois told him that the issue has been farmed out to the Justice Department for a recommendation on how to proceed. Every day that passes without changing the Bush policy on employment discrimination, said Gaddy, "we're implementing the Bush program."
In the meantime, the White House is likely to suspend the distribution of funds until the question is decided.
In a press release today, Obama said his faith-based programs will be Constitutional, though he notably refused to clarify his policy on religious groups' hiring practices:
As the priorities of this Office are carried out, it will be done in a way that upholds the Constitution — by ensuring that both existing programs and new proposals are consistent with American laws and values. The separation of church and state is a principle President Obama supports firmly — not only because it protects our democracy, but also because it protects the plurality of America's religious and civic life. The Executive Order President Obama will sign today strengthens this by adding a new mechanism for the Executive Director of the Office to work through the White House Counsel to seek the advice of the Attorney General on difficult legal and constitutional issues.

About this Business
From Our Editors
Though Vito Provolone's has been around for 17 years, its tradition of hospitality stretches back to 1948—the year that Vito Gramaglia returned to his hometown of Modugno, Italy, from America. Once there, he began a decades-long charitable campaign, raising funds for the orphanages and disenfranchised populations. His contributions eventually earned him a Gold Star of Italy from the government.
Two generations later, Jim DeCamp Jr. honors his grandfather with a restaurant that bears his name. Inside, the familial and welcoming spirit that Vito was famous for still reigns, but it's been joined by a commitment to authentic Italian cooking.
Specialty pizzas encourage sharing, and build-your-own pasta entrees allow for personal touches, such as add-ons of Italian sausage or meatballs that look like your favorite celebrity's head if you squint. Sips of domestic and imported beers and wine follow bites of chicken marsala or tilapia in a lemon-caper sauce.

What is the point of your comment?
Seems to me like this is a family who likes legos. They thought it would be fun to build the Temple. They made it happen, and it was a hit for themselves and friends, and they want others to enjoy it.
It seems to me, "A Sceintist," that you are trying to say that this family has a seedy agenda to make money off of their religion, rather than enjoying a new product and making it available to others for a fair price.

I had a coworker who was uncomfortable with authors writing LDS stories and making money doing so. However, I certainly don't see any reason to judge what someone does without knowing the intentions of their hearts. To me, this is sharing a talent, contriving a great project for families and showing respect for the building of temples. All of us need to earn money in some way! Seems far better than waiting for a handout. I personally admire her creativity and ambition.

"Brick'em Young" How clever! I love it. After looking at the
webpsge, I'm very impressed with the accuracy of the replication. I can see
how this would be a hit.
@A Scientist Sooooo....good church ideas should be kept private and not shared? Or they should be shared for free or for no profit even though there would be manufacturing costs and labor hours involved? I think I know what you are saying and I would agree that no one should "take advantage" of church members. But when you are truly providing a good service or product, I have no problem with making a buck. After all, until we are all worthy of living the United Order, that's how the world is run.

It is nothing sort of tragic when people fault those who promote artistic business endeavors with respect to religion regarding making a profit. These endeavors cost money and there must be a profit involved for such efforts to be continued and, hopefully, expanded. As a participant and supporter of the arts (which I believe that this product is), I hope they make a great deal of money and that one day there are many such lego styled temples available for construction. If there are no patrons of the arts, then there is no art. What would life be without such? It would be sad.

Scientist, here's the point you requested: If a seller produces a product which a buyer wants, and they settle on an acceptable price for both parties, the deal is fair. To inculcate a degree of unfairness would involve deception on either the seller's or the buyer's part. That can happen in deals with people of all sorts of persuasions, not just "fellow religionists". So, unless you have evidence that some type of shadiness (not to be confused with religious commitment) is involved in this "Brick'em Young" business, the question of religion becomes largely irrelevant.

It appears to me that the main purpose of this enterprise is primarily to increase faith and also to build family unity and togetherness. I believe that they started this business from scratch to show their children firsthand how the free enterprise system works. It is evident that much time and resources have been invested in this project and it is deserving of our support.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

I have the same white / blank screen issue after trying to install either wp e-commerce or Ready! eCommerce plugins. Basically the back office disappears when you install or activate these plugins and the only way to get it back is to delete the entire folder from the plugins directory using FTP. With WP Ecommerce both the website front end and back office crashed but with Ready Ecommerce only the back office screens for Pages and Plugins / Pages / Appearance / Settings become inaccessible (I can still log in and see the Dashboard home page but little else).
My host assures me that the problem is not memory related and indeed I have Plesk server admin tool access and have double checked memory allocations for the domain name several times.
So I wonder if it is a conflict with another plugin? Here's what I have installed, with Theme 'Responsive' and a very basic 3 page website so far:
Accordion Shortcode
All in One SEO Pack
Contact Form 7
Custom Permalinks (number 1 suspect for conflict with WP Ecommerce)
Should I install using manual FTP rather than from within the WordPress Back Office? Or is there a simple step I am missing (change permissions of files/folders or chmod command or something) that is obvious to someone more technical?

By Staff Sgt. Matthew C. Cooley, 15th Sustainment Brigade Public AffairsApril 21, 2010
JEDELLAH SOFLA, Iraq - Soldiers of the 15th Sustainment Brigade, 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), brought soccer balls, jump ropes, sports drinks, stuffed animals, notebooks, and various other toys and school supplies to the children here April 12.
The Fort Hood-based logistics unit operates primarily out of the nearby Contingency Operating Location Q-West and regularly visits the village to bring supplies and gifts to the people, especially the children, as a gesture of goodwill.
For some of the Soldiers, like Spc. Jeff Stewart, a Schaunburg, Ill., native and all source intelligence analyst for 15th Sust. Bde., the trip was a rare chance to leave their office and mingle with their Iraqi neighbors.
"A lot of people in a unit like this might not feel like they help the Iraqis," Stewart said, explaining how he and others often don't see how their jobs affect the Iraqi people.
"Every Soldier should do what we did even if only for ten minutes. Just giving a binder to a little girl and seeing her smile - it makes the whole deployment worthwhile," he said.
Stewart expressed his hope that the Iraqi children would positively remember when the American Soldiers came with gifts and said that doing so made him feel like he made a difference.
For Master Sgt. Celia Feller, a Farmington, N.M., native and the brigade's day battle noncommissioned officer in charge, this was her second trip to visit the children of Jedellah Sofla.
"It's a rare opportunity as well as an eye opener," she said, claiming that it helped to remind her of how fortunate Americans are to have the opportunities that they do.
Feller, like Stewart, said that her job didn't allow her to leave the base very often to see how the average Iraqi lives and enjoyed the chance to help people. She also explained how this and other experiences service members may have while in Iraq can help them grow, such as exposure to a different culture.
"I think it's awesome we're able to provide them school supplies and things that will help them along the way and maybe put a smile on their face," Feller said. "I'm glad that our command supports the foundation of the future."

LOOK: "Supergirl" Introduces Superman in First Family Photo
Disney is under fire from a conservative Washington, D.C., think tank for opposing a plan that would allow casino developers to build massive resorts in South Florida, all while the entertainment giant licenses its Marvel comics superheroes to gambling websites.
The Institute for Liberty, an opponent of healthcare reform that characterizes itself as "an aggressive defender of the rights of individuals to pursue the American dream," has launched a television ad called "Disney's Dark Side" that accuses the company of hypocrisy: Although the House of Mouse contends it's "protecting Florida's family-friendly image," IFL argues it's more concerned with these resorts encroaching on Walt Disney World's market share.
"The truth?" the TV spot's narrator says. "Disney's so-called family-friendly image includes profiting from licensing comic book characters to online casinos."
That's certainly true. An online search for "Marvel casino slots" brings up countless results — including, plainly enough, Marvel Slots, which provides information on games featuring Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Hulk, Captain America, Ghost Rider and Fantastic Four. Blade, Daredevil and Elektra also have their own slots (as you can see in the image above). Of course, it's not only Marvel: Warner Bros.-owned DC Comics has a deal with Cryptologic for online slots featuring Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Sandman, Watchmen and Green Lantern, among others. There's also one based on Mike Mignola's Hellboy.
But neither Warner Bros. nor Dark Horse has a dog, or a resort, in the South Florida casino fight. You can watch the TV spot below.
"DISNEY'S DARK SIDE": New TV Ad Exposes Disney's Hypocrisy on Gaming, Doubletalk on Family Values
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6, 2012 — The Institute for Liberty (IFL), a Washington-based advocacy organization, today launched "Disney's Dark Side," a television advertisement highlighting the company's hypocrisy in opposing legislation currently under consideration in the state legislature that would allow for the construction of destination resorts in South Florida while bringing important reforms to Florida gaming laws.
"Disney has taken the public position of being morally opposed to gaming, while quietly profiting from the licensing of cartoon characters to online casinos," said Andrew Langer, president of The Institute for Liberty. "Disney's opposition to the construction of new, job-creating destination resorts has nothing to do with protecting Florida's family-friendly image, and everything to do with protecting its own bottom line and stomping out any potential competition. That goes against the basic principles of free markets."
Langer continued, "Disney recently laid off 1,400 Florida workers, but is earning billions in profits. Now it's spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to lobby against job-creating private investments, at a time when nearly one million Floridians are out of work."
"Disney's Dark Side" Script:
Why is Disney opposed to a $6 billion investment to help jumpstart Florida's economy?
They say they're protecting Florida's family-friendly image.
The truth? Disney's so-called family-friendly image includes profiting from licensing comic book characters to online casinos.
And while Disney's shareholders rake in the profits, they've cut 1,400 Florida jobs.
Disney isn't protecting Florida. They're protecting their bottom line.
Let's jumpstart Florida's economy creating tens of thousands of jobs by allowing destination resorts.
The Institute for Liberty is a non-profit policy organization, involved in grassroots activism. It focuses on small business, entrepreneurship, and federal public policy. You can find out more on the web at http://www.instituteforliberty.org and www.disneydarkside.com.
Batman would probably be ok with licensing himself to gambling machines, given how much Wayne gambles, but I think Superman would not like it.
Not to defend Disney, but is is possible that these licensing agreements for Marvel Character Slot machines predate Disney purchasing Marvel? If these agreements were already in place then there isn't much Disney could do. Remember Universal has a whole Marvel themed area in their Orlando theme park because of this. Disney doesn't hold the rights for movies for the X-Men and Spider-man because of pre-existing agreements. It is highly plausable that Disney is simply waiting for these agreements to run out.
It's also entirely possible that there's a huge world of difference between licensing your characters to be used in on-line gambling and wanting a casino next door to your family friendly theme park.
If the casinos stay in South Florida, it really wouldn't be a problem. There's a Hard Rock Casino in Tampa and Tampa is significantly closer to Orlando then any of the big cities in South Florida, like Miami or Fort Lauderdale. That's at least 4 or 5 hours away. Orlando is the family friendly tourist area and you can make Miami for grown ups.
Its interesting when people automatically go after a company without doing some research. All this person has to do is do a little homework and find out that although MArvel is now owned by Disney it is run as a separate entity and many Marvel characters were licensed before Disney took ownership of them.
just more reasons why Disney and marvel suck-ass. and are Fail, with a capital "F". we DON'T, "DO NOT" want gambling encouraged in our comic book fan bases.
What about Disney's "Pleasure Island" section of Downtown Disney, with the various nightclubs? How "family-friendly" was that?
Licensing? Here's a press release:
LONDON, ENGLAND, May 23, 2010
Disney purchased Marvel in August 2009.
Some PR shows Marvel announcing licensing agreements with United Casino in August 2009.
Regardless: Marvel knows licensing. Licensing usually has a time limit. Once Disney purchased Marvel, I'm sure they reviewed the licensing portfolio for any questionable contracts. Aside from the hypocrisy stated above, slot machine licensing is not uncommon, so long as the slots aren't attractive to children. I've won playing a video slot machine of Star Wars (at the public Las Vegas airport, not in a casino which restricts access to minors), as well as Lord of the Rings (with a video screen above the video slot for bonus rounds, and speakers in the seat for extra oompf).
I would have played "The Wizard of Oz", but they were too popular with the SKI (Spending Kids' Inheritance) crowd. Apparently there was a Men In Black slot machine as well (Sony, not Marvel).
I doubt we'll ever see a slot machine of Disney animated characters. However, Miramax did license "Chicago" for slot machines. (A no-brainer.)
And then there were those "Wayne Casino" chips DC gave out at comics shops… not to mention the various playing card decks. Or the Arkham Asylum Poker Set. (Crazy Eights, anyone?) Or if you're more inclined: "Cover Girls of the DC Universe Poker Set".

Saturated fats may not be the ones to blame ….
Consumption of foods rich in saturated fat has been associated with elevated blood lipid levels and consequently with risk for chronic diseases, including coronary heart disease. However, epidemiological and interventional studies on this topic are contradictory. While some studies have established a positive link, other studies have failed to show a significant association between saturated fat consumption and blood lipid levels, and yet others have even found an inverse association. Professor Garg believes that lack of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) rather than saturated fat enriched diets are responsible for the elevated blood lipid levels. In a recent paper accepted for publication (1) in the journal 'Medical Hypothesis,' Professor Garg hypothesised that omega-3PUFA status is a predictor of the lipemic response to dietary saturated fats or omega-6PUFA rich vegetable oils. In fact saturated fats may enhance the cardiovascular health benefits provided the adequacy of omega-3PUFA status. Proving authenticity of this hypothesis would mean a substantial change in dietary guidelines and public health messages regarding saturated fats and their health effects; and also a change in the strategies related to prevention of chronic diseases.

Aurora Algae complete construction of cultivation site in Western Australia
A new algal cultivation test site has been constructed in Geraldton (WA). The project lead by Aurora Algae in collaboration with the Durack Institute of Technology. This new site aims to further investigate the potential of the mid-west region for the production of microalgal biomass. Previous work has been carried out at a pilot-scale facility in Karratha (WA) where they have demonstrated the production capabilities of up to 15 tonnes dried mass per month. With the favourable environmental conditions found in the mid-west of WA, industrial culture of microalgae seems set to expand in the future. Read more.

GrainCorp future uncertain
The $3 billion takeover bid by Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) for GrainCorp was blocked in shock decision by Joe Hockey. This signals the first rejection of a foreign takeover in Australia since 2011. Reactions to the outcome surrounding Australia's largest agricultural company were mixed. Read more.
DHA Camelina achieved
In the November/December issue of Inform (2013, 24: 648-652), the CSIRO/Nuseed/Grains Research & Development Corporation (GRDC) collaboration has recently reported for the oilseed crop, Camelina sativa, high levels of DHA, with a high ω3:ω6 ratio and very low levels of potentially undesirable intermediate fatty acids. The engineered Camelina seed oil profile contained levels of DHA similar to those found in commodity fish oils. The team reported that fish oil-like levels of DHA have also been produced in the chosen application crop, canola. This research was presented at the recent section meeting by Surinder Singh.
Based on the recent progress in this collaboration, Nuseed intends to conduct field trials in Australia starting in 2014 subject to relevant regulatory approvals, with an anticipated commercial launch around 2018. Nuseed is currently engaging with potential downstream partners to develop the relationships and pipeline of activities that will see land-plant based long-chain 3 oil enter the market shortly after this.

Return of Rickets
Rickets, the childhood disease that once caused an epidemic of bowed legs and curved spines during the Victorian era, is making a comeback in Britain. Rickets is caused by a severe deficiency of vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium. Last month, Britain's chief medical officer, Dr. Sally Davies, described the return of rickets as "appalling." She proposed the country give free vitamins to all under-fives and asked the country's independent health watchdog to study if that would be worthwhile. Most people get vitamin D from the sun, oily fish, eggs or dairy products. Read more.
Lipid oxidation
A new book from AOCS entitled "Lipid Oxidation: Challenges in Food Systems" has been released. The book was edited in part by one of our very own, Amy Logan.
"Lipid oxidation in food systems is one of the most important factors which affect food quality, nutrition, safety, color and consumers' acceptance. The control of lipid oxidation remains an ongoing challenge as most foods constitute very complex matrices. Lipids are mostly incorporated as emulsions, and chemical reactions occur at various interfaces throughout the food matrix. Recently, incorporation of healthy lipids into food systems to deliver the desired nutrients is becoming more popular in the food industry. Many food ingredients contain a vast array of components, many of them unknown or constituting diverse or undefined molecular structures making the need in the food industry to develop effective approaches to mitigate lipid oxidation in food systems. This book provides recent perspectives aimed at a better understanding of lipid oxidation mechanisms and strategies to improve the oxidative stability of food systems."

Krill News
Aker BioMarine takes up leadership at the Omega 3 Centre
Lalen Dogan, Managing Director, Aker BioMarine Antarctic Australasia Pty, was recently elected Deputy Chairman of The Omega-3 Centre, an Australasian authority on long-chain (LC) omega-3s and nutritional health. The committee is made up of Australia's leading omega-3 researchers and is predominately supported by the omega-3 industry. As Deputy Chairman, Dogan will dedicate his time to communicating the health benefits of LC omega-3s and helping to improve community health status. Read more.
Aker BioMarine leads education on Krill oil
Consumer awareness of omega-3s in the U.S. is over 90% and still growing. In fact, krill is the most rapidly growing omega-3 segment today. As more and better sources of these fatty acids are needed to meet this demand, omega-3 education is crucial in helping retailers properly stock store shelves. To that end, Aker BioMarine, an integrated biotechnology company dedicated to the sustainable harvest of krill and development of krill-derived biotech products, is launching a one-of-a-kind pilot program titled "How to Speak Krill." The program will give retailers the proper tools to help their customers make better decisions when choosing an omega-3 option. Read more.

Researchers from Aker BioMarine have published a new pilot study on krill powder in Lipids in Health and Disease. The study, performed at Momentum Pharma Services GmbH, a CRO in Germany, and two academic research sites in Italy, investigated the effects of Superba™ Krill powder supplementation in obese subjects.

Upcoming Events
Welcome to ISFNF 2014
Australia is proud to be hosting the 16th International Symposium on Fish Nutrition and Feeding (ISFNF), the premier international forum for researchers, academics and industry concerned with the nutrition and feeding of aquatic animals. This biennial event will see several hundred attendees from around the world converge on the city of Cairns, adjacent to Australia's magnificent Great Barrier Reef and the fabulous Daintree Rainforest, in Australia's far northern tropics, for five days from May 26th to 30th 2014.
Contributions are now being sought on key themes to progress the development of science and innovation that stimulate this central part of the world's aquaculture industries. With half of the world's consumption of seafood now coming from aquaculture, feeds are playing an increasingly important role in meeting the challenge of global food security. Science and innovation are critical to the success of this, and your contributions play an important part to the global cooperation in meeting this challenge of global food security.
An event not to be missed by researchers, academics and industry – ISFNF 2014 will offer a chance to discuss and debate the issues, ideas and innovations that face us in the domain of fish nutrition and feeding.
As with most ISFNF events there will be plenty of opportunity to network, socialise and collaborate during both the formal and informal events. So important do we consider this element of symposiums that we are planning a 'gap day' in the middle to help everyone network and visit this amazing part of the world.

Feminism and Composition Studies
In Other Words
- Editors: Susan C. Jarratt, Lynn Worsham
- Pages: xiii + 401
- Published: 1998
- ISBN: 9780873525862 (Paperback)
- ISBN: 9780873525855 (Cloth)
The fifteen essays and six responses in this volume of the MLA's Research and Scholarship in Composition series "push the boundaries of knowledge in both feminism and composition," as the coeditor Susan C. Jarratt writes, "by exploring the productive intersections and tensions of the two." She goes on to say, "Composition at its best works against the grain of conventional institutional practices. . . . Both feminist inquiry and post-current-traditional composition studies/styles challenge assumptions and seek to transform ways of thinking, teaching, and learning." Both are complex, containing different agendas and different voices.
Feminism and Composition Studies: In Other Words is a feminist project that boldly places at its center differences among women. Topics discussed include American history, politics, language, racism, pedagogy, contingent labor in the teaching of writing, e-mail behavior, and the need for educational and institutional reform. Teachers, graduate students, program administrators, and feminists will find valuable the critiques, theoretical as well as personal, contained in this unusually honest and thought-provoking volume.

Best bag ever was available for my two missionaries in the MTC bookstore. Daughter's bag lasted 10 years--mission, college, young mom... Handles could be changed up to be a shoulder bag or a backpack.

Glad to see the Sister Missionaries will be able to dress more like the other young people and still be modest. I live in Texas and the heat can be dangerous. It has always concerned me that the young men missionaries on bicycles cannot wear straw hats or caps. People die from prolonged exposure to the sun and by "prolong" I don't mean all day. It just takes an hour of so. Those who have to work outside take salt tables to help them retain water and wear some kind of head covering. We've never had any of our missionaries suffer from heat stroke or heat exhaustion, but it has to be because they angels are watching over them. When I see them out, I offer them water and caution them about the heat. This is especially true of new missionaries. They have no idea how dangerous it can be to be outside without a head covering.

I think this change is wonderful for our young people who are planning to go on a mission. The lighter colors for the Elders and the more vibrant colors for the Sisters are great! They will still "stand out" in a crowd for their modest clothing but they will at least look in-style.

If you've already sent your missionary off with the old fashions, just find a way to budget for some new duds. Along with budgeting to have mom stay at home, 10% gross, a generous fast offering, oh, and did you hear that the church is asking for more mission fund contributions as well?

Hutterite, God may not care, but then, He's the choir. The Elders and Sisters aren't teaching Him, their audience isn't already in the seats. And it never hurts to look like someone your audience wants to be like. As long as our young missionaries are dressed in modest clothing, isn't it nice that it is also enjoyable for them to wear as well? Smile, Hutterite, and be happy for them, and for their enthusiasm to share the Word with others. It isn't the clothes that encouraged them to wish to go on missions, it is their love of the Lord. Be happy that they feel joy in their calling!

These are some great changes and will definitely make the missionaries more approachable as well as comfortable while still being modest. I think the nice colors will simply serve to attract people to them and the message. I think shoulder bags will look nicer, but I do think the backpacks are better because the missionaries can wear them with the weight balanced on both shoulders so it doesn't cause back pain. I think a choice between them would be good.

"Does god care what you adorn your body with?"
Yeah, The Lord does kinda care how you adorn yourself:
Likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.
1 Timothy 2:9-10
But let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.
1 Peter 3:4
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
Romans 12:1
I'm just throwing this one in because this, too, is adornment as well:
You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the Lord.
Leviticus 19:28
And my personal favorite:
Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman without discretion.
Proverbs 11:22

having lived in northern Europe and often doing splits with the full time missionaries, I often noted people just walking away when approached with the black missionary name tag. When I approached young people in English, we could at least begin introductions and spend more useful time with students walking the inter-city. Could this be the beginning of changing the name tag.

AS to name tags, I see everyone I work with on our mission have a name tag on
the right side of their uniform. Oh, We're on an Air Force base. Most
name tags also are on the right to facilitate seeing the name when you shake
hands. I would venture that the reason most people place the sticky name tags
seen at conventions etc. on the left breast is due to them being right handed
and it is an easy motion to get it there.
One way to facilitate elimination of the back pack is to reduce the amount of stuff that is carried. But if you are to carry scriptures, extra copies of the Book of Mormon, pamphlets, some water - it is extremely hot here in Texas and fluid replacement is a critical issue, you will need a back pack. Check out what an active member has to carry to Church on a Sunday: Scriptures; Relief Society/Priesthood manual or copy of Conference Ensign; Sunday School manual if teaching; and a day planner or smart phone.

I don't think this is going to make as big a difference as everybody thinks it is going to. . . Basically, nothing has changed for the men. You could pretty much wear whatever you wanted when I was out five years ago anyway. The women get to wear brighter colors, big wup.

To all of those who think shoulder bags will cause physical problems - The backpacks caused just as many back problems as a shoulder bag(and a shoulder bag should be worn across the body). Missionaries would overload them and then walk all day with that on their backs. The packs missionaries would use were not the hiking type with even weight distribution. They were just the bookbag types most kids use for school. Believe me, I know because I served as the wife of a mission president, and I can't tell you the number of back and shoulder problems that were directly caused by overloaded backpacks. As far as appearance goes, the backpacks on sisters looked even worse than the packs on elders.

When my father served his mission - towards the end of the 50's, they were required to wear hats. Of course some dress standards change over the years. The trick is to follow the changing trends which display respect, high standards, and a sense of high self respect. Our living prophets don't dress in the same attire as did Moses, Elijah or even Abraham. But like them, they dress appropriately for their era.

You don't have to contribute anything if you don't want to. Nobody is forcing you to donate a dime to the Church. Why would you feel the need to get him new duds now? You don't even have to support your son for the privilege and blessing of going on a mission (which, by the way, is a lot cheaper than keeping him home or sending him to college).
So exactly, what is your point?
If you are going to come on here and complain about contributions, just don't contribute.

I once lived in a new housing development that a nearby LDS church had targeting
for proselytizing. Over the period of four years I had Mormon missionaries
ringing my doorbell every few months. I was friendly with them (they sometimes
came in on cold nights) and got know a few of them, both elders and sister
missionaries. The thing that impressed me first was their clothing. They could
have stepped out of the pages of a fashion magazine or a clothing catalog.
First impressions are important, but you can take it too far. At that time I was working for a large international consulting firm. My manager actually yelled at me for driving a pick-up truck. He wanted me to buy an expensive sports car so our clients would see my wealth and prosperity. He also gave me detailed instructions on what to wear. My goal was to dress just one step above the client. The message to the client was, "We are superior to you but not so much that you would be uncomfortable."
The Mormon missionaries can keep their nice clothes, but I hope they don't start driving Lamborghinis.

The present biogeographic study on the ophiuroid fauna from the Southern Ocean (SO) contains an updated checklist, based on a compilation of all the published information provided for the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic regions as well as the information available in SCAR-MarBIN database. Faunal composition and geographical and bathymetric distribution are included. So far, 219 species have been recorded, of which 126 are endemic to the SO, 76 are exclusive to Antarctic waters, and 30 are exclusive to sub-Antarctic waters. This study corroborated the circumpolar and eurybathic character of the ophiuroid fauna of the SO, but some differences are discussed when considering shelf and deep-sea fauna in the whole SO, or in the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic regions separately. The biogeographic affinities of 17 areas considered in the SO are revised, based on a presence/absence datamatrix of the 219 species. This similarity analysis shows three main groups, two of them including sub-Antarctic areas and one for Antarctic areas. The faunal movement patterns between the main geographical connections have been based on historical site records of each species. These movements have a level of faunal exchange that exceeds that of other Antarctic benthic groups. Such movements are mainly from Antarctic and sub-Antarctic regions to the subtropical waters of South America, and from New Zealand and southern Australian waters to sub-Antarctic areas. In this context, the origin of the ophiuroid Antarctic fauna is discussed.

Rumour: Social games giant Zynga to acquire mobile dev Astro Ape
The Farmville and Mafia Wars Facebook behemoth looks to be in the process of snapping up mobile gaming studio Astro Ape, according to a report by Business Insider.
According to the report, employees of Astro Ape – the mobile gaming studio responsible for Dessert Heroes, Office Heroes and Vegas Strip City – have been changing their LinkedIn profiles to indicate that they are now employed by casual games overlord, Zynga.
It's the latest in an acquisition spree by Zynga, who paid $53.3 million for Words with Friends creator New Toy and, at one stage, were in the running to acquire PopCap for a cool $1 billion cash, before EA swooped in.
