Spok's Volcano Suit Stunt for Star Trek 2
Zachary Quinto as Spok
April 13th 2012 Los Angeles, CA ***EXCLUSIVE***
Zachary Quinto as Spok filming an action scene for the Untitled Star Trek 2 Sequel. After first rehearsing the scene with a Spok Stunt Double Actor Zachary Quinto was then rigged to a wire in front of a large green screen and lifted to a height of 10 stories high then dropped at a high rate of speed as if he was falling. In the scene Spok is wearing a "Volcano Suit" and carrying an unknown piece of equipment with the Starfleet Emblem. A Volcano is somehow involved in this scene. The crew had a real fire burning off camera to catch the fire reflections on Spok's "Volcano Suit".

Nugs, as the league director and liason to the city I will fully support you being the one to grab the bull by the horns and run with this one. The Cam 2 guys do not have to lift a finger on Cam 1 if they don't feel like it. There are 6 guys that have given thousands of hours at C2 and I believe that picking up trash is a waste of their time. Very few can do what they do year in and year out, a less willing to. They have all bought a great assortment of tools out of their own pockets and never ask for a dime. It takes no tools and no skill to pick up trash, just someone with some motivation and respect for the course they love. On top of the good feeling you get when your done, the karma is fantastic. A week after I spent 4 hours picking up at C1 after Camden Chaos in 2008 I won a kick ass basket in the raffle at Geneseo.
I'm not trying to get down on you, I saw what you did for Prospect and that's awesome. People like me, the "C2 Crew", and countless others have busted their ass for years working on the courses and bitching that people don't help or people litter on the course. Those people that still do it have realized that it is a never ending battle. Fight the good fight my friend and educate the chuckers.

This article describes the work in progress of applying Ubuntu Linux sensibly within an underfunded school, and as part of a wider well thought out and alternative educational structure. I shall emphasise best practices and try my best not to dwell too much on the underlying technologies.
The school
Education is a fundamental pillar of civilization. Without learning structures, humanity will descend again into the dark ages and superstition will rule. Supporting children in their learning activities is not an optional extra, but a community responsibility as part of the global community that we all live within. Placing these sentiments in context, we all pay our taxes and as part of those taxes, we collectively pay for the educational system that supports our way of life and our betterment in the future. This system mostly works.
The pressure for consistency of quality to some extent enforces uniformity within the school system; the tool of this enforcement is budgetary with a layer of legal requirements. If you step away from the main stream, funding becomes scarce. Methodologies outside the majority view can be dangerous for long-term survival. If a school sits at the edges of common practice, then receiving government funding takes a lot of patience, skill, paperwork and diplomacy. Enter the Guus Kieft School right.
Enter the Guus Kieft School right
The Guus Kieft School sits snuggly next to a park in Amstelveen (Holland). The quality of air is excellent and the motivation of the student children (ages 5-14) envelops you on entrance. Positive energy resonates within every nook and cranny of the old scouting building and pleasant mosaics (figure 1) and markings scatter the grounds. My younger son is part of this outstanding enterprise; notice my pride in the statement.
The Guuf Kieft School is based on an sociocratic organizational model similar to that of the Sudbury valley school in Framingham, Massachusetts.
The sociocratic approach is decision making by consent and places the student to a great degree at the center of influence. The schools structure enables students free range to learn at their own pace and with their own definitions of direction. For a mildly autocratic parent such as I that can be scary, as you need an element of trust in the process. However, after a year of observing the incremental results on my younger son, I am delighted with this approach's structural effect of building self-confidence, understanding of social context and plain old knowledge building.
Despite the obvious quality that permeates the project, the school is fairly new in its existence and lacks significant funding. Therefore, the school needs still to tap into government acceptance for long term viability. As a consequence, there is currently a requirement for a low budget, no budget IT policy. Having worked as a teacher, course writer and developer of heavily used scaled up systems it seemed natural to me to want to help define a two-year IT policy to bridge a perceived funding gap.
Consent driven contracts
It may very well be in the best interests of a lead miner to pollute the upstream river water of a village, but it is definitely not in the interests of the community as a whole. Consent driven policy is very democratic in scope and on average causes the least damage to the local environment. I can say the same for children playing in school time on the internet. The power of the internet is very attractive. However, if a group form around the computer area whose only activity is to shoot as many targets as possible then the ebb and flow of learning of the group and the wider community is disrupted and potentially negative.
Before launching new IT facilities, the students and mentors at the school need to decide a definition of fair usage of the computers. If you do not preplan a codification of best practices then you will risk ending up with a select few monopolizing the internet connection for gaming purposes. In an educational environment, a fast computer with a brilliant graphics card risks the concentration and focus of a whole subset of a school primarily the male segment. Defining a personal contract and allowing the best interests of the whole community to speak through sociocratic processes enables broader advantage.
Per student topics, that the student and mentor need to agree include how to time share, how much of the time the student spends on the computer and for what purpose. Without a containing consent, the lack of school policy may inadvertently place young minds at risk.
Ubuntu has a positive role to play
Okay, the community has agreed on best practice. Now it's time for the IT policy to structurally support the governance. The school is small and we already have one laptop connected to the internet. I intend to install two reference machines chock full of free software and show the parents and mentors how easy it is to customize for a particular student's needs. Better still, I will describe how to copy shortcuts from one machine to another so that with a couple of command line actions the student's home machine has the same software as at school. If a mentor wishes the student to focus in on a task, or if a student wishes to follow through at home, the learning path is not limited by technology.
Now it's time for the IT policy to structurally support the governance
Before buying the new, let us consider the old. With the help of a kind parent, the school has scored two Pentium 1.5 GHz machines, the memory and hard disk are limited, time to call in GNU/Linux in the shape of Ubuntu. At this point you may well be asking why not Edubuntu or another one of the many excellent flavors of GNU/Linux. The answer is you can, there are many distributions that are viable. However, Ubuntu is a strong candidate. Ubuntu has good solid market penetration and I have no issues in recommending it as a desktop for home use in dual boot mode with Windows or stand-alone. A standard install includes all the software one comes to expect like office suites, multimedia applications, games, etc., and just as importantly a standard file structure and application installation process. I prefer APT over RPM for package management and find from practice that there are very few dependency issues. Finally, Ubuntu is well known and the homepage does promise to continue releasing for a solid number of cycles to come.
Ubuntu is a strong candidate
The simpler the approach one takes the less maintenance is required later. I intend the flow of operation for sharing consistency between school and home computers to be similar to:
- Install Ubuntu with a given version.
- Install all the educational free software that you can via apt-get or a package manager.
- Add a user account per student and hence a clean desktop.
- The mentor sits with the student and agrees which software is useful for a given period and places shortcuts on the student's desktop for the given piece of software.
- If the parents wish for a mirror on their home computer then the relevant mentor sends desktop shortcuts with a list of
apt-getcommands via email. Notice that the standard environment enables this approach.
- The parents downloads the shortcuts to the students desktop at home and then run the enclosed
apt-getcommands to install the software.
Perhaps (at worst) periodically, I may need to explain to the teachers and parents what
apt-get is or have an install fest for Ubuntu, but this is not a significant cost as the parents are all so friendly.
Installing educational software
De-skilling IT is vital. Technology for the sake of whiz and bang is fun for hanging out on a rainy Saturday afternoon, but only gets in the way and increases support costs in the school environment. I do not intend to micromanage the IT infrastructure. If a recipe for action takes more than a couple of pages of A4 then the chances are that I will be spending unexpected quality time with misconfigured, insecure, virus ridden software. Simple is good, complex we leave to those who maintain grid environments or are paid for this type of noise by the hour
On a sacrificial computer with the current version of Ubuntu select the Add/Remove option from the Applications menu which is normally seen on the top left side of the screen. Click on the Education icon (figure 2) and tick the Periodic table of elements. Submit via the Apply button.
Within in a brief few seconds you have functioning and worthy software (figure 3), which the student can later find under the Education menu item. Debian distributions sport a number of excellent periodic tables including ones that have photographs of the individual elements. I suspect it is now only a question of time before the developers will include multimedia chemistry lessons.
Exploring for a few more seconds you will, with very little effort, discover Celestia eye candy for the masses.
My over imaginative brain is fevered with the prospect of one-on-one astronomy lessons based on Celestia and Stellarium, pointing to energetic events in the simulated heavens and then later electronically controlling a telescope to observe those fuzzy planets. Okay, in reality, a $30 pair of binoculars viewing the moon or globular clusters.
Celestia eye candy for the masses
Or how about installing the software Kpercentage (figure 5) which works (despite the K in its name) under the GNOME desktop as well as the KDE desktop. My younger son loves mathematics and I have seen him spend hours on similar software, long after the boundary of my own patience would have been crossed.
Many mathematicians have a strong musical aspect to their souls, which Solfege (figure 6) has the potential to support the unlocking of. With Solfege students can learn how to differentiate notes and intervals, scales and theory.
Moreover, the list goes on and on. For example, my elder son, admittedly at another School is learning European Geography and Kgeography (figure 7) reinforces his scores via good old fashioned repetition.
The Add/Remove option only displays a relatively limited number of packages. From the command line searching for mathematical packages is as simple as typing the command:
sudo apt-cache search mathematics
Once you have found your target package to zoom in apply the -f option, for example:
sudo apt-cache -f search junior-math Package: junior-math Priority: extra Section: universe/misc Installed-Size: 36 Maintainer: Ben Armstrong <[email protected]> Architecture: all Version: 1.3 Depends: bc, bsdgames, snowflake, xaos, xbase-clients Filename: pool/universe/j/junior-math/junior-math_1.3_all.deb Size: 1896 MD5sum: 2c746ec40c76ff43c304f63a23983d18 SHA1: 1dd73fe2eb221eba933a67fc8b234187f71b8bae SHA256: 258c90fc6a24aaa875025b5e893cb8635abec52a6fe4061c1e5dfb4611f248ae Description: Debian Jr. educational math This meta package will install educational math programs suitable for children. Some of the packages use mathematics that is well beyond the abilities of young children (e.g. fractals and cryptography), but we hope that by using them they gain an appreciation of the beauty of math from an early age. Other packages allow children to explore and learn math concepts in an engaging, interactive way. Some packages are more general, providing math activities as only one part of the package, e.g. bsdgames includes "arithmetic" in addition to other non-math games, and xbase-clients provides xcalc. Bugs: mailto:[email protected] Origin: Ubuntu
To install the software type:
sudo apt-get install junior-math
Sending an install script by email is straightforward, simply add the previous line to a text file software_to_install_ref.sh. Send the file as an attachment to the interested parents and let the parent run the command:
sh ./ software_to_install_ref.sh
The parent will then need to fill their administrative password and the software will auto-magically be installed.
Okay, so I am stating the obvious. However, being obvious does not make the approach less powerful. The fact that this methodology is intuitive actually adds power and value.
At this point you may be wondering why have
ref as part of the file name. Well, "ref" is actually a placeholder. Every file name should have a unique identifier so that the teacher/parent can go back and find which files were installed and for what reason. A good ref would be something like a date or just an incremented number. The mentor should make notes and perhaps a lesson plan or two based on each ref.
To remove software is just as straightforward:
apt-get remove junior-math
Therefore, because of the simplicity of it all, the school should also send a remove script at the same time as the add script. This gives the parent/student fine-tuned control.
Even though synchronized installation via email is a powerful learning enabler, we are still missing the synchronization of the shortcuts on the desktop that would allow the student to have a consistent set of environments.
Creating and sending shortcuts
Just because an idea is simple does not imply that the idea doesn't have positive potential for creative impact. Placing shortcuts on a student's desktop at home and at school in a synchronized and incremental way is one of these so called simple ideas.
If you want to create a shortcut for already installed software that appears in the GNOME menu, right-click on the software and an extra set of menu items appear (figure 8).
Sometimes your favorite software does not exist in the list found in your favorite package manager or, worse still, it does exist in the list but not in the place you were expecting it. xaos, as shown in figure 9, is a render of graphically detailed fractals that I have spent relaxed moments zooming down. Not thinking on my feet, I had assumed that xaos was educational and, being lazy, I simply added it from the command line.
sudo apt-get install xaos
It was only later that I realized that this same application lay under the graphics subsection of the menu.
To add an application to the desktop that does not show within the menu, I normally take the easy route. By right-clicking on the top plane where the menu resides and mentions Applications, Places, System you will be first given the option "+Add Panel". Selecting "+Add Panel" brings up the graphic shown in figure 10.
Clicking on "Custom Application Launcher" triggers the create Launcher dialog, as shown in figure 11.
Fill in the details shown. Click on the "No Icon" button and choose an icon of choice. In my case, that was amazingly the xaos icon. Finally press OK. GNOME generates a new desktop icon in the top panel. Drag and drop the desktop item to the main desktop. The new item is just plain text that GNOME interprets and then renders as an icon. The icon activates the given program when the user double clicks. To prove this text derived point, type:
more ~/Desktop/xaos.desktop
and you will see a result similar to:
[Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Encoding=UTF-8 Name=xaos Type=Application Terminal=false Name[en_US]=xaos Exec=xaos Comment[en_US]=Fractal generator Icon[en_US]=xaos Comment=Fractal generator Icon=xaos GenericName[en_US]=
If a student chooses twenty pieces of software you can imagine sending the parent a 20 line apt-get add software script with a corresponding 20 line apt-get remove software script with the necessary desktop items contained within a
.gz or
.zip file. Automation of this is trivial and more a matter of administrative housekeeping. Thus, Ubuntu or another standard environment enables selective learning exercises with just a couple of cheap and easy to describe tricks.
Ubuntu or another standard environment enables selective learning exercises with just a couple of cheap and easy to describe tricks
By agreeing on a standard GNU/Linux distribution and using the over obvious trick of sending desktop links via email, you will find it possible to create a working computing school environment that is potentially synchronized with the clever learner's home environment. The package management developers have already done the hard work. Why don't we cheat on our IT exams by making the student's life easier and more consistent.
I would like to thank Eliane Gomperts for her outstanding efforts and for being the driving force in starting a new mediated learning and, thus, motivating school. Lawrence says "well done".
Good article on user software but what about the infrastructure?
TFA presents a reasonable plan to maintain/synch a collection of thick clients. SSH scripts in the school can easily maintain a bunch of thick clients this way and copies can be distributed to students/parents to share the environment.
In the long run, expect the system to grow. If the budget of the school is tight (a given, these days), how is it go grow? If thick clients are added some new problems arise: back-ups, space, power consumption, and noise, to name a few. I strongly urge any organization to consider thin client architecture. Most of the problems of growth can be minimized by restricting power, noise and back-ups to the server room. Old/donated PC can serve as thin clients and the hard drives can be removed/disconnected or just used for booting if the BIOS does not support PXE. A 1.5 GHz PC, with 50 MB RAM per client+256 MB for the OS can support 10 to 15 clients and only one machine needs software maintenance/back-up. Eventually, the school may be able to have one newish PC with abundant resources and it can serve most if not all of the school. New thin clients are very inexpensive, about $139/box. Combined with LCD monitors, a new thin client is a very compact and quiet client. Some fairly large organizations buy used thin clients on e-bay very cheaply. These things are simple to install and last for years.
Another technology worth examining is the multi-seat thick client. Using multiple video cards/keyboards and mice, the cost of a new box per seat can be $100 or so. Old machines with added memory and video cards works well. A gigabit/s NIC helps if these are used to make X connections to a terminal server. Modern PCs lean towards very powerful video cards so suitable used cards can be very cheap. A single PC can thus serve 6 to 12 seats in a classroom or library, making excellent use of hardware and budget. Groovix publishes their scripts for multiseat with Nvidia cards freely. They support Ubuntu.
IT can be a force multiplier in education. I suggest looking to the future and considering what is needed in education. With a good server, one can add databases, PHP scripts, encyclopaedia, image databases, course and school management and search functions to support education/learning. Using a cluster of older machines, even a school on a tight budget can do a lot. Centralizing the desktop can provide many benefits, among them avoiding the need to install software on many machines.

Hey btw: You dont need to be root to run apt-cache because this is just a search tool so! So you can forget about the "sudo".

About the Book
The gripping international bestseller about motherhood gone awry
Eva never really wanted to be a mother—and certainly not the mother of the unlovable boy who murdered seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker, and a much-adored teacher who tried to befriend him, all two days before his sixteenth birthday. Now, two years later, it is time for her to come to terms with marriage, career, family, parenthood, and Kevin's horrific rampage in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her estranged husband, Franklin. Uneasy with the sacrifices and social demotion of motherhood from the start, Eva fears that her alarming dislike for her own son may be responsible for driving him so nihilistically off the rails.

A boy who will never break your heart. Nor will he ever lie to you to get his way. He has an honest fun loving heart. He can be a bit perverted but people just love him for who he is. He can open the hearts of many and make a mouth dropping poem to make any girl smile. He is also on the funny side. He can make anyone laugh with his dorky shyness. He makes the perfect friend. He is a lovely little smart boy who can make people laugh as well. He is genuine and peaceful. He's also very sensitive to the heart. He protects who he loves even if the world is on top of his shoulders. The pressure will never break him and he will never break anyone else even if it means killing himself for it..
Jonathan: "Your eyes glimmer in the glowing night, with heart breaking souls moaning with thrusts of blood spreading throughout the night."

The most amazing guy in the world. It is impossible not to fall in love with him. He will tell you how beautiful you are everyday, and even if you dont belive him, he will tell you anyways. He tends to be extremely cute and caring. He wont make you do anything you dont want, and is very understanding. He has a very cute smile, and is funny without trying. You will have a smile on your face everytime you are around him. When you leave his presence, you immediately want him back. He is on your mind 24/7. He creates these feelings in your chest that you do not know how to describe. In short, he is absolutely amazing, and falling in love with him, is the best thing that can possibly happen to you.♥
Theres this guy who makes me feel so special. When I see him I get happy on the inside. He must be Jonathan.

NEW YORK (WOMENSENEWS)-- From donkey ambulatory services for pregnant women in the mountainous regions of Afghanistan to free Cesarean sections in Congo, reports about global efforts to improve maternal health were showcased in the past week as development experts gathered in various forums here during the U.N. General Assembly session from Sept. 17 through Sept. 30.
Unresolved issues also came under the spotlight.
In a state-by-state report on U.S. women's standard of living, for instance, Louisiana ranked worst overall and was one of 10 states with the highest maternal mortality rate. Louisiana has "only one OB-GYN for every 13,136 women," according to authors, who add: "To put this in perspective, the United States already has a worse maternal mortality rate than 49 other countries." The report was produced by the Center for American Progress, which announced a partnership effort with groups including the Planned Parenthood Action Fund and Service Employees International Union to "fight for policies that strengthen women's economic security and promote women's health and the health of their families."
The United Nations in 2000 adopted eight promises to improve global living conditions, known as the Millennium Development Goals. MDG 5, the fifth of the goals, calls for a 75-percent drop by 2015 from 1990 maternal mortality ratios. Currently, the global maternal mortality rate of reduction is just over half of what is needed to reach the goal.
The country with the world's highest maternal mortality rate is in sub-Saharan Africa; Sierra Leone has 890 deaths per 100,000 live births, according to 2010 data.
Funding to Accelerate Goals
The World Bank Group, UNICEF, the U.S. Agency for International Development and the government of Norway declared a $1.15 billion endowment to be allotted over three years in order to accelerate progress on MDG 5--as well as MDG 4, which is working to reduce child mortality--the groups said in a Sept. 23 press statement.
Proposed remedies in the various reports were wide-ranging.
Congo, for example, saw a 50-percent decrease in maternal deaths, with most of the improvement occurring in the past two years. In 2011, a presidential decree provided that all women in the country have the opportunity to undergo a C-section free of charge, Al Jazeera reported Sept.18. Before that, the cost of the procedure--upwards of $500--was prohibitively expensive for the majority of Congolese women.
Health professionals in Congo say further ways to lower the maternal death rate--currently standing at 560 deaths per 100,000 live births--include lower costs for pre-natal checkups and more family planning education for women who don't have easy access to Western medical care.
Another recent report exposed a link between pregnancies and limited work-force participation. The evidence-based report, "A Roadmap for Promoting Women's Economic Empowerment," finds that this link exists in both high-fertility agrarian economies and urbanizing economies with declining fertility rates.
Authors suggest reproductive health education and family planning can help remedy women's lack of financial independence. They also found a high level of maternal deaths in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly among adolescents. The report, released by The United Nations Foundation and the ExxonMobil Foundation, calls for public and private investments in reproductive health information and services tailored to teens.
An Action Plan
The report "Delivering Success: Scaling Up Solutions for Maternal Health" offers an action plan for lowering maternal mortality. Engaging men and boys in family planning and understanding a woman's status outside of a cultural context is one focal point of the report, released by the Woodrow Wilson Center's Global Health Initiative and Asia Program, the Maternal Health Task Force and the U.N. Population Fund on Sept. 23.
Authors said it was important that men be involved. "Relying on tradition, customs and faith does not justify the perpetuation of harmful practices, human rights violations and the lower social status of women and girls relative to men and boys," the report's authors wrote.
Another key point in the report was to provide a solid inventory of medical supplies and ensure the availability of adequately trained health professionals.
The report also emphasized the need for solutions designed for specific regions. "It is very difficult to do copy-paste; we should do and think according to the reality in the field," said a representative from the Rwandan Ministry of Health in the report.
An example of a localized approach is offered by a project in Afghanistan, where the British charity HealthProm and designer Peter Muckle collaborated on an inflatable saddle for donkeys that transports pregnant women from resource-lacking areas to health centers. Donkeys are in abundance in Afghanistan and can maneuver the mountainous terrain. As of 2010, Afghanistan's maternal mortality rate was 460 deaths per 100,000 live births, a marked improvement from the 2002 rate of 1,600 deaths per 100,000 live births.

February Has Heart
February Has Heart
02.07.13 | By
February is a great month to focus on your heart. Valentine's Day recognizes the person who makes your heart skip a beat and it is also American Heart Month, which raises heart health awareness so your heart continues to beat.
In a single day your heart will beat about 100,000 times and will have pumped approximately 2,000 gallons of blood throughout your body. For this reason alone, it is very important to take care of it.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in both men and women in the U.S. Coronary heart disease, which is the most common form, costs the U.S. more than $108 billion each year.
So what can you do go protect your heart? The Mayo Clinic recommends five medication-free things you can do:
1. Don't smoke or use tobacco - it is one of the most significant risk factors for developing heart disease, and quitting decreases those risks dramatically
2. Exercise for 30 minutes most days to reduce your chances of developing other conditions that may put a strain on your heart
3. Eat a heart-healthy diet that limits fat, cholesterol and salt
4. Maintain a healthy weight to avoid high blood pressure and other conditions that can stress the heart
5. Get regular health screenings to be sure you don't have high blood pressure or cholesterol or diabetes
Biopharmaceutical research companies have also made great strides in developing medicines that can help patients win their battle against heart disease. In fact, medicines contributed to a 30 percent decline in heart disease death rates between 1998 and 2009 (the most recent figure). Additional progress will surely be made with nearly 300 new medicines in development for this disease.
So as we head into American Heart Month and approach Valentine's Day, it is important to visit your physician to ensure you and your loved ones are happy and heart healthy together.

BULK RATE U.S. POSTAGE PAID ST. IGNATIUS. MONTANA PERMIT NO. 1 VOLUME 8 NUMBER 18 FULL MOON OF THE WANDERING JANUARY 15, 1979 - QUARTERLY MEETING - (Busy! Busy!) The first Quarterly Council Meeting for 1979 was held on Friday, January 5th at the Hot Springs Community Center. Numerous topics were discussed, acted upon and referred to committees. After the reading of minutes, the meeting was opened up to new business. From there on and throughout the day routine dullness never reared its weary head. Leading off was a suggestion by Councilman Joe McDonald that another Council Meeting a month be considered. He felt it would help alleviate the cramped agenda of two regular meetings and perhaps minimize hasty Council action on serious issues. Sgt. Micn»el McElderry of the Tribe's Enforcement and Wildlife Division, presented each Councilman with a letter of resignation. This matter was turned over to EDC and a copy of his letter has been printed in this issue of the Char-Koosta, at his request. Several infractions connected with accidents and deaths of trioal memoers were brought to the Council's attention. A motion was made "to pursue with intent" and seek outside assistance to investigate jurisdictional disputes and relative to reported problems with other law agencies. This matter was turned over to the Law and Order Committee with the intent of initiating a full investigation. "Chuck" Tellier brought up the subject of blood quantum in the Tribe's enrollment requirements. It was pointed out that District meetings will have to be included for tribal membership input in developing a referendum before the issue could be presented at the next Quarterly Meeting in April. If the referendum is approved in April then it will be presented to the voting membership at the next election in December. Mr. Tellier has sent in a letter to your Tribal newsletter, also. The bighorn sheep transplant was dicussed. The Tribal Lawyer, BIA Acting Director are working on an agreement to present to the State Fish and Game Dept. and the Tribe. Time is of essence as the transplant has already been undertaken. Various other business was acted upon and the final issue was unseating Chairman Swaney. Swaney Unseated by Council Vote Thomas "Bearhead" Swaney was stripped of his Council Chairman status at the first Quarterly Council Meeting for 1979. The action was taken late in the afternoon, following all other business and discussions. The majority of the audi ence had already left the meeting. Swaney had been requested to voluntarily step down. After statements and brief speeches were heard from Coun-cilmen and the audience and a final statement from "Bear-head" himself, ending with his refusal ro relinquish the po- sition, a motion was made and voted upon,with a vote of 5 to 2 in favor of his removal. Both Swaney and Hot Springs District Councilman, Tom Pablo, abstained from voting due to their positions as Chairman and Vice-Chairman. Pablo was appointed Council Chairman and Poison's District Councilman E.W. "Bill" Morigeau was appointed Vice-Chairman. Councilman Laurence Kenmille could not attend the meeting due to a close relative's funeral. (Continued on page 2)

Kanbu Bust-out
Redirected from Kanbu Bust Out
this wiki
- "A Yakuza Kanbu is in custody awaiting transfer for trial. He is a valuable member of the family. Break him out of custody and take him to the Dojo at Bedford Point."
- ― Kenji Kasen
Kanbu Bust-out is a mission in Grand Theft Auto III given to protagonist Claude by Yakuza co-leader Kenji Kasen from his casino in the Torrington district of Staunton Island, Liberty City.
Kenji informs Claude that a high-ranking member of the Yakuza has been arrested by the Liberty City Police Department and that Claude will be breaking him out. Claude takes a police car to 8-Ball's bomb shop, getting the car rigged with a time bomb. Claude drives to the police headquarters and parks the car next to the cells, before detonating the bomb. Claude and Kanbu then steal a police vehicle to escape the police station before changing cars to lose the pursuing police. After losing the police, Claude takes Kanbu to the Hyaku Dojo.
Mission Objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Steal a cop car
- Rig the car with a bomb
- Okay now go to the police station
- Arm the bomb
- Get clear of the car
- You left your honor with the Yakuza Kanbu. You must protect him
- Lose the cops
- Now get him back to the Yakuza dojo
The reward for completing the mission is $30,000. The mission Grand Theft Auto is unlocked.
- The Kanbu cage has blood marks on the wall, which involves police brutality. This is also evidenced by the sounds of a man being beaten. Therefore, it should only be a failure of game, as is never fully explicit the Liberty City police commits brutalities or not.
- The same blood marks are also seen in the bathroom of Apartment 3C In GTA VC and underneath the heads of dead Liberty City Port Authorities in a later mission, Grand Theft Aero.
- It is advisable not to park any other vehicles next to the Police Car, because the additional explosion of the car will kill the Kanbu.
- Kanbu's skin is the same skin as a normal Yakuza member.
- If the player tries to use a bomb-rigged vehicle that isn't a police car and detonate the wall, nothing will happen apart from the car exploding. (Tested on Android)
- An unused string in the american.GXT file, "KM1_D", refers to Claude being rewarded by allowing him to obtain two bodyguards from the Hyaku Dojo.
- Once you drop off Kanbu, he will make a remark of your smell in Japanese referring to the fact that Claude never showers during the entire game. (Romanji: Anata wa· dekamara, no yōna nioi kuso; lit: You smell like dick, dammit!)

I have recommented this tool to many people on a newsgroup, but most people experienced wireless bandwidth problems, and they were not able to locate video quality combobox on transcoding settings, anyway,my suggestion is since peak bw is being detected, to define a ps3 menu command to load suitable settings for that network environment and cpu power, even giving user an option to use automatic settings. If that is not possible at the moment a slider with more quality-low network, and less cpu-more quality kind of thing may be really helpful.
I believe both network and cpu bottlenecks can be detected by app, so if it was possible to change setting realtime by the app, a real plug and play could be reality.
Anyway, that kind of efforts will definately make this program more accesible for many people.
Thanks for this great app by the way, much better than anything I've tried, I hope it will get even better.

Just when we thought we'd seen all there is to see in the world of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings saga, Snowblind Studios goes and writes an entirely new adventure, chronicling the goings on in the North while Sauron's eye was focused on Frodo and friends. Should you lend it your bow, or give it the axe?
Michael Fahey, who is cool on Tolkien but hot on action role-playing games: When Snowblind Studios and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced The Lord of the Rings: War in the North was in development, the action role-playing aficionado in me squealed like a little girl getting a new pony. Nothing gets me going like a good old hack-and-slash action RPG, and having developer Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and both Champions of Norrath titles for the PlayStation 2, Snowblind had established itself as the action RPG developer to beat.
That doesn't mean I wasn't worried about the game. The team hadn't done anything in the genre since the forgettable Justice League Heroes back in 2006, and The Lord of the Rings series has induced more sleep in me than hours of enjoyment. I developed an idea of what I wanted The War in the North to be in my head, certain Snowblind would miss the mark.
Four hours into the game and I've been pleasantly surprised. The combat is satisfyingly tight, each swing of the sword, staff, or axe feeling as if it's falling on a foe rather than floating in their general direction. Gaining experience levels and filling out each character's talent tree is satisfying without being over-complicated. The character models look much better in-game than they did in screens and trailers, and equipping new armor and items changes the look of each character, something much more important to me than it should be. The online cooperative multiplayer for up to three players has performed flawlessly so far, and while there isn't much enemy variety it's still fun to kill the ones we're given.
It might not excel, but I wasn't looking for excellence; just competent, quality action RPG entertainment, and The Lord of the Rings: War in the North has given me that. Yes.
But I'm not normal. I'm a massive Lord of the Rings fan, and the way this game looks like it stepped right out of an unreleased fourth film, while at the same time blending into the established fiction of the universe, is really attractive to me. I'll put up with the doldrums of loot and slashing if there are Tolkien-ish dwarves and giant eagles, and hey, this game has dwarves and giant eagles. That makes it a Yes.
I've only played a couple hours of War in the North, but judging by what I've seen—from the halting dialogue system to the repetitive action sequences—this game isn't on the same level as its competition. Its integrated co-op might make things more fun (I haven't gotten to play yet), but even if that feature is spectacular, War in the North would feel flat and charmless. No.

Crockpot Lima Beans
To know me is to know that I'm a huge fan of foods high in fiber and a serving of this particular lima bean dish delivers a whopping seven grams and that's not even accounting for the additional fiber that is included in with the vegetables. With summer picnic/potluck season approaching, this would be a great take along dish and it's sweet and spicy flavors will complement almost any barbeque entree.
Crockpot Baby Lima Beans
1 pound dried baby lima beans, rinsed, soaked and cooked per package instructions
2 TBSP olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 bell pepper, seeded and diced
1-2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
salt and pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 TBSP all-purpose flour
1 (14 oz) can chicken or beef broth
1 (14 oz) can crushed tomatoes
2 TBSP tomato paste
2 TBSP cumin
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (or more depending on your taste buds' heat preference)
2-3 TBSP brown sugar
2-3 TBSP maple syrup
Place cooked lima beans in crockpot.
In large skillet heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper and jalapeno pepper. Season with salt and pepper and saute until onions become translucent, 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and saute for another minute or two. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and cook for two minutes, stirring frequently, then add broth. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and stir until mixture is smooth. Add mixture to beans in crockpot. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Cover crockpot and simmer on low for 4-5 hours. Add additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve with sour cream and chive garnish or with shredded Monterey jack or pepper jack cheese.

OK - I will eat all your green baby limas and you eat all the dry ones I don't like!!!! I think the green baby ones have a sweetness whereas the dry ones have a starchiness. Kinda like the opposite of bananas. I love green bananas because they are starchy - NOT sweet - when they turn brown and sweet - I no longer like them... Did I confuse you yet? All I know is I will only eat the sweet baby gree ones - because I like the sweetness.

Never cooked with dried lima beans because I just assumed they would be like the green variety which I think are yuckers! I'll have to give this a try though I'm thinkin' I could use any dried bean, right?
- May 3, 2010 at 10:08 AM

JuneyB: You could try another dried bean, maybe great northern? The cooked dried lima beans make for a really creamy dish so you wouldn't want to use black beans or kidney beans.

I don't think I have ever made lima beans. I better give them a try!

Hmm...yeah, I'm not sure why the dried version would be so much better. But heck, let's just accept it and not question it. :) These beans look amazing. I saw the pic on foodgawker and came over right away. Love the cute little pots you put them in too!

Good question re: the difference between Green lima beans and dried lima beans. It might just be a difference in bean variety, or perhaps the dried lima beans are really considered to be butter beans. Great research topic!
Your recipe looks fabulous - I'd like to give it a try!
- May 3, 2010 at 3:51 PM

I thought the same way June did. I don't think I would use dried lima beans because I really don't like green lima beans. Never searched them out before! Interesting!

Genre/Subject: DramaLanguage: German English Sub-Titles
MUST END Thursday, May 30th at the Sie FilmCenter
Digital presentation - Teresa, a 50-year-old Austrian hausfrau, travels to the beaches of Kenya as a sex tourist or "Sugar Mama". There, she moves from one Beach Boy to the next, buying their love only to be disappointed and quickly learning that there, love is strictly a business. With his very unique brand of realism, socio-political critique and warped humor, Mr. Seidl deals with the market value of sexuality, older women and young men, the power of skin color, Europe and Africa, and the exploited, who have no choice but to exploit others. Ulrich Seidl's film is the opener in the PARADISE Trilogy about three women in one family who take separate vacations: one as a sex tourist, another as a Catholic missionary ("PARADISE: Faith") and the third at a diet camp for teenagers ("PARADISE: Hope"). Three films, three women, three stories of the longing to find happiness in contemporary society.

Finnish researchers lay groundwork for targeted therapy of fibroids
Helsinki – Finnish researchers are likely to have identified the mutation that drives tumorigenesis in millions of women suffering from uterine leiomyomas (fibroids). The benign tumours, which are the most common medical reason for hysterectomy, cause abdominal pain and discomfort or abnormal bleeding in 25-50% of affected women. In Science, the researchers under Dr. Lauri Aaltonen from the University of Helsinki report, they identified a mutation in exon 2 of the mediator complex subunit 12 (Med12), a transcriptional regulator that bridges DNA regulatory sequences to the RNA polymerase II complex, in 70% of more than 200 fibroids analysed by exome sequencing. Until now, the cause of fibroids was unclear with around 145 mutations linked to the disorder. But now it seems, the researchers have identified a major driver of disease.
"The findings are a giant step towards understanding why fibroids arise," said professor Aaltonen, "but towards design of targeted therapies it is a very early step. Let's hope that this journey has begun."

SAN FRANCISCO - A man accused of lighting a fire in a trash bin during the celebration after the San Francisco Giants' World Series win in 2012 has been acquitted of felony arson charges, the city's public defender's office announced today.
Brian Irwin, a 22-year-old Oakland resident, was also acquitted of misdemeanor battery on an officer but was convicted of misdemeanor resisting arrest in the jury's verdict issued Thursday, according to the public defender's office.
Irwin was arrested following an incident near Third and Harrison streets in the early morning hours of Oct. 29, 2012, after the Giants had clinched the World Series in a four-game sweep over the Detroit Tigers.
He was one of at least nine people charged by the district attorney's office for vandalism cases following the win. Other incidents included the lighting ablaze of a San Francisco Municipal Railway bus on Market Street and graffiti along Mission Street storefronts.
Prosecutors had said Irwin yelled an expletive and extended his middle finger toward police officers, then set fire to contents of a Dumpster. Police then chased him through Yerba Buena Gardens and tackled him in bushes, prompting Irwin to spit blood in an officer's face.
However, according to the public defender's office, three police officers testified during the two-week trial and gave conflicting accounts of the incident and whether Irwin lit a fire in the trash bin.
His attorney, Deputy Public Defender Peter Santina, said Irwin did not have a lighter or matches with him and his clothing did not smell like smoke after his arrest.
His friend also testified, saying Irwin jumped on the Dumpster to celebrate but did not light a fire.
The jury also rejected the claim that Irwin purposefully spit on the officer, according to his public defender, who had argued Irwin was just trying to breathe when he inhaled and exhaled through his injured nose.
"There was zero physical evidence that Mr. Irwin lit anything on fire. The charges were based solely on the memories and perceptions of three police officers working under extremely confusing conditions," Public Defender Jeff Adachi said in a statement.
"Fortunately, Mr. Irwin's public defender was able to expose the shaky, conflicting accounts of the night," Adachi said.
The lone conviction in the case was for resisting arrest for Irwin's fleeing from police. He had faced up to four years in prison if convicted of all charges, according to the public defender's office.

Prosecutors were preparing Wednesday to outline why they believe the double-amputee Olympian murdered his girlfriend.
Pistorius says the killing of Reeva Steenkamp was accidental and that he shot her by mistake in fear of an intruder in his house in South Africa.
Prosecutor Gerrie Nel told the court he will elaborate on the state's version that Steenkamp and the athlete had a fight and that she fled to the toilet before Pistorius shot through the door four times and killed her.
Pistorius was charged with premeditated murder.

BERKELEY -- Reshanda Gray scored 16 points and grabbed 11 rebounds as the No. 22 Cal women rolled past Arizona 65-49 Friday night.
The win might prove costly, though, as star guard Brittany Boyd suffered an ankle injury in the second half and did not return.
Cal (17-7, 9-4 Pac-12) used a 13-2 run to lead 27-16 with 5:07 left in the first half, and Arizona (5-19, 1-12) couldn't cut the deficit to single digits from that point forward.
Gennifer Brandon added 10 points and nine rebounds for Cal, as the Bears extended their win streak to three games and beat the Wildcats for the 15th straight time.
Arizona's Carissa Crutchfield also was hurt in the game and had to be carried off the court in the game's final minute.

text: HAHAHA!!! DOUMO ARIGATOU ADAM-SAN! Yeah, you are talking about the Group Anal Constriction Video - Inspired by Hiroyuki Nishigaki Oh THAT ONE WAS A BLAST!!!! Yeah, that one wild and weird clip has somehow stayed somewhat popular through all the years!!!!! It just knocks me out cause I just had that book and the plastic "cheeks" pants that I bought in a department store here. So while reading the book, I then got the idea for the video. But only I knew that and we didn't have time for rehearsal or scripting et al and I just told my Japanese ex girlfriend and my other American buddy "OK, you guys, just follow my lead, we are going to be doing this book" and they knew about that book and so I just turned around, cams went on and then we just went TOTALLY OFF!!!!! OH MY HAPPY BUDDHA!!!! It was just too much fun back then. And yes sir, you most definitely were here! And we had alot of fun! And we went up to Nikko and I filmed this video then: Scenes From Nikko Video and on that day it started to rain while we were in the Temple complex. You can see some raindrops sometimes in the video. And the rain level was just enough to keep all the major crowds of sightseers away and that was the reason why I could get such well framed shots of so many of the beautiful shrines, temples and statues. Do you remember when I broke a rule and climbed up and over the yellow rope barrier in order to get a birdseye shot of the whole Toshogu Shrine complex? Well, I got it! And you can see it at the very end of the video. And that video has received more than a few awards and recognition including 'Multimedia Feature of The Week' on Bowienet on March 24, 2002!!! . Well, I got lucky because of the on/off rain and also because you came here. Really, Adam, its true because if you had not come here, then I would not have gone to Nikko and I would not have made that video. So in a way, we both made that one together for sure! Thank you again for visiting me in Tokyo! Please come again someday. SORE DEWA MATA NE......Lob (e___: D(eJapanese TV ShowsOnline Music VideosOnline Photo Gallery

When Mark Rodgers took over as wardlaw's football coach this summer, there were some noticeable changes for the patriots. They lost nine seniors and switched from a balanced offense to a run-heavy attack. What didn't change? The goal to win state.
A year after taking the title, the patriots are back and ready to do it again. It's certainly been a different atmosphere though. Last year's team was expected to get it done, and they delivered an undefeated season. This squad was supposed to be a year away from reaching the top, and that makes it even more sweet.
"Everybody said that we wouldn't be anything without the seniors that we lost last year and that we were too young to make it where we did. It means everything to us. Like I said, everybody said we couldn't do it this year, and we're just keeping on going." said Daylen Morris
"It's not really about what everybody expects. It's about you and your team and how you come together and act as a unit. It's about your line blocking, having somebody good to throw the ball and run the ball, and that's what we have this year." said Jacob Baynham
The Patriots match up with st. John's christian Friday night in St. Matthews. They haven't played them yet this season

Despite a severe drought affecting northern Florida, Sunshine State biologists report strong numbers of staple species: blue- and green-winged teal, ringnecks, wigeon and scaup.
"We have a couple lakes in north Florida that are almost completely dry," says Andrew Fanning, a state waterfowl biologist based in northern Florida. "And the lakes that are holding water are pretty shallow, but there's no shortage of food. There really never is in Florida—our plants grow all year, after all. So the birds are still finding plenty of available habitat."
Fanning reports that ducks are arriving in similar numbers as the past several years, which have been exceptional. It's been a strong year for blue-winged teal, which arrived ahead of schedule, and in late December a solid push of greenwings showed up as well. Of course, it's the ring-necked duck that quickens the pulse of many Floridians.
"Northern and central Florida is a major, major wintering area for them," Fanning says, "We've seen a lot arriving in the last few weeks, and I expect the hunter harvest will be above average, as it has been for the last few years. We also saw a fair amount of wigeon early on in northern Florida. They didn't stay here long, but they're being reported in the south region and in pretty strong numbers up the east coast through Merritt Island. Northern pintails are surprisingly up in many parts of the state as well."
While Fanning does not expect the drought to have a huge impact on ducks, it has wreaked some havoc on hunters. Many lakes are too low for access with typical duck boats, so hunters are finding themselves concentrated on any available, deeper water.
"The problem with putting all that pressure on an area is there's no shortage of shallow wetlands for ducks to find and many are on big plantations that can't be hunted by the public," Fanning says. "So initially the hunters were doing great, but then it dropped off pretty fast as birds scattered to other areas."
Overall hunters are faring very well on the season, which Florida measures by collecting data at wildlife management area check stations. Numbers this year are as high as 3-5 birds per hunter in some areas, including the hydrilla-rich Stormwater Treatment Areas (STAs) south of Lake Okeechobee. Bags have generally been heavy in teal and ringnecks.
"The T.M. Goodwin WMA in the southeast near Palm Bay has been consistent throughout the year on teal and local fulvous and black-bellied whistling ducks," Fanning advises. "The P.C.S. WMA has also been good. It's a deeper water habitat with teal, lots of shovelers and also ringnecks. As far as scaup, we're seeing elevated numbers on the Guana River WMA."
This is not to suggest the second split has been easy for Florida hunters. Not even biologists can say with certainty where the earlier arriving birds have dispersed to.
"It seems the birds are shifting around mostly in response to hunter pressure," Fanning says. "I don't know if they're going farther south to central Florida or moving farther inland. The second split has thus far been hit or miss for a lot of hunters, but the folks who are willing to go that extra yard with scouting have continued to do well."
Avid waterfowler and Miami resident, Travis Rolan, has been focusing on STA 2,3,4 and 5. All of these public hunting areas are draw hunts within 45 minutes to one hour from Miami. He explains that the hunting has been fantastic and have been some of the best he's experienced in Florida.
"We are shooting lots of teal, ringnecks and mottled ducks," Rolan says. "We have even shot a few pintails, which are not regular birds in this area."
With the excellent waterfowling right now, Rolan encourages Florida waterfowl hunters to take advantage of the opportunities in the state.
"The STAs are great habitat, providing nutrient rich food sources for ducks. While this isn't Arkansas, I'd say that Florida waterfowl hunting is as good as it gets right now," he says. "We have been shooting limits on a regular basis, including a banded mottled duck. Due to the amount of shooting we are hearing around us, it sounds like others are doing just as well."

For those with their backcountry skis still on hand, the Colorado Avalanche Information Center warns to be careful out there amidst the snow that fell over the weekend and into Monday.
The storm left 6-15 inches of snow across the higher elevations, and stronger winds created wind slabs up to 3-feet deep.
"You may find wind slabs ready to avalanche near and above treeline," officials warn. "Be cautious and evaluate the snowpack at all steep slopes or convex rolls."
Warm temperatures have consolidated the underlying snowpack, so the primary concern for the remainder of the week or so is recently developed storm and wind slabs.
"The amount of storm snow and developing wind slabs in your local area will dictate the avalanche hazard," the statewide report read.
Triggered and natural avalanches have occurred on northeast- and east-facing slopes, but any slope near and above treeline could have drifted snow.
"The underlying snow surface is relatively rough and storm snow started wet, so the bond between old and new snow is likely good," the statewide avalanche discussion read. "As temperatures cooled with the storm, the snow became drier and less dense, which is not a bad structure from an avalanche perspective. You should dig into the new snow to determine the structure and test the bond within and at the bottom of the new snow."
The report also warned that an avalanche triggered in these conditions could run "fast and far." Cliffs, trees and previously bare, rocky ground are all risks of getting caught in a "rough ride" of an avalanche in the storm snow.
Weather has returned to being sunny and warm, with temperatures continuing to rise. Disturbances resulting in precipitation are few and far between, according to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center, with high pressure and warmer temperatures arriving for the weekend.
As temperatures rise, wet slides become more of a concern.

The South Shore T.J. Maxx location at the "Y" will open its doors this Sunday at 8 a.m. for the store's long-awaited grand opening.
T.J. Maxx, which advertises itself as a retailer that offers brand-name fashion at affordable prices, presented a fully executed and notarized lease in June to the city of South Lake Tahoe. The exterior of the Garfinkle building had been remodeled over the past year to attract a new tenant.
Construction for the interior remodel on the 23,000-square-foot tenant space started in July. It's been a long, nightmarish process navigating the permitting required to bring the business to Tahoe, said South Lake Tahoe Mayor Pro Tem Tom Davis, and he's relieved the finish line is in sight.
"My goal on the council is to bring business to town and it was a maze of red tape," Davis said.
Since Davis got involved in the project a year and a half ago, he said the city has worked with the owners and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency to facilitate the smoothest process possible. Permitting and construction issues still arose, and the spring 2012 opening that the owners indicated in a statement from the city was pushed back to October and then to November.
TJX Companies Inc. Public Relations Supervisor Brittany Welch confirmed the Nov. 11 opening, and wrote in an email that the delays were part of the corporation's commitment to opening the best store possible for Tahoe residents.
Welch said that T.J. Maxx stores employ 60 full- and part-time associates in general. It's a much-needed influx of jobs in a town where unemployment continues in the double digits, Davis said.
The store fills a void left in the area, and will hopefully bring more people into the community, Davis said. Already a shoe store is negotiating with the same landlord to fill a property adjacent to the T.J. Maxx, Davis said. He did not know which shoe store was involved.
"We need retail. Period. The city's put a lot of effort into this. After this project we need to sit down and critique what went right and what went wrong," he said.
TJX Companies, Inc. operates more than 980 T.J. Maxx stores nationwide.

Commenter Cursed Frogurt demonstrates the perils of playing a game without reading / having access to the instruction booklet, making Dead Space just a little more deadlier in the process.
Have you ever accidentally created your own difficulty level in a game? Perhaps in a way that dramatically changed the way the game felt?
When I first rented Dead Space, I didn't realize all of the lockers/crates with white lights held ammo and supplies until I got to chapter 5 or so*. Same thing with those green boxes that you have to throw or stomp on to get their goodies. I actually restarted my file because I had missed so many of those nodes used for upgrades in the blue boxes. Anyway...
I remember running out of ammo after almost every encounter, running from many enemies, and usually being on the brink of death. I was wondering why so many reviewers were saying the game was more action than horror and it occurred to me, all it takes is less supplies and the game more-or-less becomes a survival horror game. That's it!
I wonder if game testers are asked to play games in different ways (use only one weapon, don't use any magic, avoid this entire area, etc.) just to see what really makes a game. I believe Dead Space would be a dramatically different game if supplies were just less abundant.
*I don't actually care about your own "accidental no-[something] runs", I just want to feel better about being so freaking stupid. The face-palm I self-administered when I pressed A in front of one of those lockers would've killed most people

Leon Hiebert was pastor of Andover Assembly of God (Generations Church A/G) from 1989 to 2009. He is a Viet Nam veteran who spent 10 years in the US Navy most of the time as a corpsman serving with the Marine Corps. A native of Belleville, Kan., Hiebert is semi retired and lives in Andover with his wife, Sharon. He is a school bus driver for USD 385, Andover, Kansas.
Scripture: Luke (NIV) 11:2 He (Jesus) said to them (His disciples), "When you pray, say: '(Our) Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.
3 Give us each day our daily bread.
4 Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.'"
Observation: Jesus did not teach his disciples to pray: Give me my bread; forgive me my sins; lead me not into temptation. He was not teaching them to pray alone, but to pray as a group. And when they pray as an individual, they should be consciously aware that they are not alone in following Jesus.
Application: In praying for my needs, I need to be more aware that those around me have needs too. Even when praying for forgiveness, I need to remember others need forgiveness too. When I come to the Lord with my sins, I can remember that others sin too. I need the merciful God to forgive me in the same way my brother or sister needs the merciful God to forgive them. I need God's help in overcoming temptations, and those around me need God's help also.
Prayer: Lord, we are a needy people. We need your provision, your forgiveness, and your protection. Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!

Using RESAs in reforming schools
January 28, 2013
One of the key recommendations a consultant made for public school reform in West Virginia was to reduce the size of the bloated state Department of Education....
The RESAs are part of the bloat! Talk about a waste of money. Wood county spends over one million dollars to RESA every year. The county boards of education should never have been forced to be in RESAs.

JaneDough, where do you get your information? To just post a comment like that with no proof is typical of the uneducated and misinformed that post on this website.

"JaneDough" you obviously have no idea what RESA does, not even half. Furthermore you are totally oblivious at the cost at which these services are provided to the counties throughout the state. In addition, I would like to point out that you have no idea how the educational regulations and guidelines work in our state and the services and programs that would dissolve and suffer without this "bloat."
