Guys, I have full-on puppy fever these days. And kitten fever. And cute fuzzy-animal fever in general. The only prescription? Celebrities who share pics of their pets on Instagram (at least until I can have one of my own). In the same boat? Follow these 12 celebs and their furry counterparts. Doing so won't completely cure your fever—actually, it will probably just get worse—but whatever, they're cute.
Jimmy Fallon, @jimmyfallon
I have this weird obsession with dogs who have human names (see: The fake English bulldog named Steve who writes my tweets), and Jimmy's pup is named Gary, so obviously I love him.
Miley Cyrus, @mileycyrus
We're still sad her dog Floyd passed earlier this month, but as Anna pointed out a while back, Miley's surrounded by tons of furry friends. Just remember, she's just bein' Miley, so expect some less wholesome pics too.
Kourtney Kardashian, @kourtneykardash
Spot the kitten! Kourtney and Scott's new Bengal cat Charli is like a tiny cheetah.
Bella Thorne, @bellathorne
Bella shares lots of pets, but her hedgehog Hercules is my favorite. Squee!
Michelle Obama, @michelleobama
Sunny and Bo are a very important part of this country, so the patriotic thing to do would be to give them a little love.
Andy Cohen, @bravoandy
Andy's dog Wacha got to hug Naomi Campbell. This is practically unprecedented.
Julianne Hough, @juleshough
And now, a video of Julianne's cavaliers Harley and Lexi adorably playing:
Lacey Chabert, @thereallacey
Lacey is totally making fetch happen with her teensy chihuahuas. (Nailed it.)
Ed Sheeran, @teddysphotos
Who says guys can't have cats? Ed + Graham 4eva.
Amanda Seyfried, @mingey
Finn Seyfried has his very own Twitter account, so I'm not shocked that he makes up a solid portion of Amanda's Instagram feed as well.
Zooey Deschanel, @zooeydeschanel
Nails and puppies. That's what Zooey's Instagram is all about.

Policy, Politics, and Global Health Trends
Social, political, and economic factors influence policies that impact health outcomes in acute care settings in communities,
nationally and globally. Nurse leaders need to understand the determinants of health as well as how legal and regulatory
processes, healthcare finances, research, the role of professional organizations, and special interest groups/lobbyists
impact health outcomes.This course provides a framework for understanding the organization of healthcare delivery and
financing systems in the U.S. and other nations. It addresses how policies are made and factors that influence policies at
local, national, and global levels that impact health/wellness and the nursing profession. The roles of values, ethical

professionals, including informaticists and quality officers. You will analyze current and emerging technologies, data
management, ethical, legal and regulatory, best-practice evidence, and bio-health informatics using decision-making
support systems at the point of care.
Foundations of Nursing Education
This graduate level course in the education specialty core examines the contemporary issues of nursing education. While
traditional contexts for learning are included, students will also focus on modern technology and trends in nursing
education. Students will explore curriculum development, educational philosophy, theories and models, instruction and
evaluation, as well as e-learning, simulations, and current technology in nursing education.

Learning in the 21st Century. This course will explore how changes in the economy, advancements in science, and the
explosion of technology have created a paradigm shift in nursing education. Graduates will further explore the role of the
educator and the application of innovative education strategies.
Nursing Education Field Experience
Nurse educators teach the next generation of nurses, in academic and clinical settings. They must be licensed to practice
nursing and have considerable hands-on nursing experience, as well as advanced training and education. The Nursing
Education Field Experience provides the graduate student with an opportunity to work collaboratively within the

WB lanes of Central Parkway at Race Street closed for streetcar constructionUPDATED 8:52 PM EDT Apr 24, 2014
The westbound lanes of Central Parkway at Race Street will be closed until Monday for streetcar project constructionVideo Transcript
THE STREETCAR SIDESTEP ... IF YOU TRAVEL THROUGH THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT! THERE'S ANOTHER DETOUR.... THAT BEGINS IN ABOUT A HALF HOUR. WLWT NEWS 5'S JOHN LONDON IS LIVE RIGHT NOW... WHERE A ROAD WILL SOON BE CLOSED FOR A FEW DAYS ... THE WESTBOUND LANES OF CENTRAL PARKWAY AT RACE STREET ... THEY ARE SHUTTING DOWN STARTING AT SIX TONIGHT... THEY WILL BE OFF-LIMITS TO YOU AND FELLOW DRIVERS UNTIL SIX MONDAY MORNING. CENTRAL PARKWAY IS HEAVILY TRAVELED. SO, GETTING THE WORD OUT ABOUT THIS IS A STREETCAR PROJECT PRIORITY. CREWS WILL WORK AROUND THE CLOCK THROUGH THE WEEKEND TO GET THE NECESSARY WORK DONE IN TIME FOR MONDAY MORNING RUSH HOUR. THEY HAVE TO DO IT THIS WAY BECAUSE A CURVED TRACK MUST BE PUT IN ALL AT ONCE. (Mike King - Streetcar Project) ("This is a curve so it's got some additional complications that most of the intersections in the Central Business District won't have. They typically are going to be straight sections which are just inherently easier.") (John Deatrick - Streetcar Project Executive) ("It's important that people especially in the Friday PM rush figure out how they're going to get to the west side of town if they're east of Vine Street.") A POSTED DETOUR WILL TAKE YOU NORTH ON VINE, WEST ON 12TH, SOUTH ON RACE... YOUR BEST BET IS TO AVOID WESTBOUND CENTRAL PARKWAY ALTOGETHER... LIBERTY WOULD WORK AS AN ALTERNATIVE ROUTE TO THE WEST SIDE THE CLOSEST PARALELL STREET IS NINTH WHICH IS A ONE-WAY WESTERN FLOW.

Could Brad Paisley Be American Idol's First Country Judge?
Report cites Brad's close ties to Carrie Underwood and Scotty McCreery.
Could Brad Paisley be the first country judge on the hit Fox series American Idol?
Dozens of superstar names have been thrown around as possible replacements for departed judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez.
But website deadline.com says Fox "is seriously considering" Brad as a judge. The website sites the fact that several Idol finalists have had success at country radio, including winners Scotty McCreery and, most prominently, Carrie Underwood. And Brad has strong ties to both of them.
No word from Fox or from Brad's camp as of Wednesday morning (July 25).
The only other country name to surface so far is Carrie Underwood, who was "nominated" by original Idol winner Kelly Clarkson.

Campaign group slams Nick Boles' 'provocative and unnecessary' plans to build new homes
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Central Government, Communities, Development
The Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) has slammed planning minister Nick Boles' call to increase England's urbanised area by up to 3%.
CPRE claims Mr Boles' vision is "provocative and unnecessary, and casts a shadow over at least 25% of our undisturbed countryside".
Mr Boles told the BBC's Newsnight that between one and two million new homes could be built over the next 20 years if 2-3% of the country's "open land" was developed.
Shaun Spiers, chief executive of CPRE, said: "We do need to build many more new homes in this country and some will have to go on greenfield sites. Nick Boles does not appear to know how much of England is really built on. Nor does he seem to understand that the countryside does not always have to be outstandingly beautiful to be worth protecting. It is equally crucial that people have places to enjoy peace and tranquillity, as the Government's own National Planning Policy Framework recognises.
The minister will make a speech before the Town & Country Planning Association tomorrow, during which he will say that many new housing developments are "pig-ugly".
According to The Telegraph, Mr Boles will tell members that: "People look at the new housing estates that have been bolted on to their towns and villages in recent decades and observe that few of them are beautiful.
"Indeed not to put too fine a point on it, many of them are pig-ugly. Like Harrisons Wharf in Purfleet that I visited last week.
"I am sure the flats inside are nice enough but they occupy an overbearing and unbroken slab of dismal brickwork that is an insult to the community it borders, cutting it off from a stretch of the River Thames which, in Victorian times, attracted day-trippers from London keen to take a pleasant walk along banks of the river."
CPRE says that it agrees with Mr Boles' that new homes need to be built and that the quality of new builds should be improved, but disagrees that using more green land will fix the housing crisis.
Shaun Spiers continued: "Rather than giving up on good planning and allowing housebuilders to let rip, we should be re-using the tens of thousands of hectares of brownfield land available for high quality affordable housing, and strengthening protection for recognised 'tranquil' areas of countryside. That is the best way to a lasting economic recovery.
"When he was running a think tank, Nick Boles specialised in interesting if somewhat unrealistic ideas. He is no longer an intellectual gadfly. He is a Minister with a serious job and it is time that he got serious."
However, Mr Boles has received support from the National Housing Federation. Chief executive, David Orr, said: "We need well designed, good-quality developments in which people want to live and work.
"With around 240,000 new households forming every year, we are building only about half the number of new homes we need each year. We desperately need to build significantly more new homes now.
"Not only will this provide homes for our sons and daughters, it will also create jobs. And there's no reason it should damage the countryside: a handful of homes can turn a village around by helping keep a local shop, pub or school open.
"This need not be the planning free-for-all many fear. Public bodies are holding small pockets of brownfield land that can accommodate nearly 37,500 homes that we can build on which would create 55,000 construction jobs. Government should rapidly enable the release of these small parcels of land so we can get building and get our economy moving."

You've never seen anything like it.
Poetry and theater fans alike will find something totally unique in "Missing You, Metropolis". Comic book fans will be over the moon and anyone with a connection to Topeka will relate to characters through the connection of place
The adaptation for the stage of poems by Washburn University graduate Gary Jackson was a collaboration spearheaded by Penny Weiner, director of "Missing You, Metropolis" and associate professor of theatre.
In spite of more than nine inches of snow that closed the Washburn campus for two days, the show will go on as scheduled Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. in the University Theatre. Anyone with a Washburn ID will be admitted free. General admission tickets are $8. Jackson, who got to Kansas City prior to the storm, is expected to attend the performances Friday and Saturday and be available to sign copies of his book.
Weiner first worked with the poetry of "Missing You, Metropolis" in fall 2011, while she taught a class on theatre form. She spoke to Jackson, who took a playwriting class from her as a Washburn student, and he eagerly gave his blessing to adapt.
"He said 'Go ahead, I'll be there!" Weiner recalled.
Later, she brought in Israel Wasserstein, lecturer, English; Tom Averill, professor, English and Eric McHenry, assistant professor, English.
Weiner said the entire production of "Missing You, Metropolis" was a labor of love for her, from seeking out African American male actors for the two lead roles to recruiting artists to create the powerful images projected during the play.
"People seem really excited about it," Weiner said of audience reaction. "It's a story about this place. They're touched by Gary's story."
Jackson's poems reflect his life and his passion. Growing up in Topeka, the challenges of adolescence and loss, a love of comic books and a unique look inside the minds of the comic book characters he loved are all woven together in the play to create a compelling production.
"I love the play," Weiner said. "I think it is beautiful work."
Among the actors, 10 of 16 are current Washburn students and only one person in the play did not have a Washburn connection prior to rehearsals.
After Saturday's performance, Jackson will lead a discussion about the work.

Get Even announced
A new, visually impressive shooter has been announced by Farm 51, and it promises originality...
Some are already saying that Get Even, the new shooter from Painkiller dev, Farm 51, looks truly next gen, and this is thanks to the new real-world scanning system that makes the visuals look almost lifelike, as you can see from the trailer below.
The trailer isn't all in-engine visuals, however, and it mixes graphics with real life to demonstrate just how good the new visual tech is. It's pretty impressive, you have to admit.
The game itself promises to offer some original twists too, taking it beyond yet another military shooter. Farm 51 is adding in a devious multiplayer element to the title, so players going through the single player won't necessarily be alone.
"When players embark on a single-player mission, others on the network can join the quest as enemies, so players never know whether their opponents are human or CPU-based," says Farm 51's official announcement.
Whilst this has been done in some ways before, such as Resident Evil 6's Agent Hunt mode, this time it's a central mechanic, and players will slotted into others game covertly. This means you'll always be wondering if that last death was due to a decent AI shot, or the skill of another, real person.
Have a look at the trailer below and see the impressive visuals for yourself, but don't get too excited yet, Get Even won't be out until into 2015.

Abstract: Growth retardation (GR) may pose a significant challenge to the quality of life and the proper management of children and adolescents with Crohn's disease (CD). It can occur in a significant proportion of patients, and may precede clinical evidence of bowel disease. Current evidence suggests that GR is a complex interaction between nutritional status, inflammation, disease severity, and genotype, which causes resistance to the effects of growth hormone. Recent research has identified a key role for the inflammatory cytokines TNF alpha, IL‐6, and IL1 beta. This review summarizes current knowledge as well as gaps in our understanding of the mechanisms involved and the usefulness of the different treatment modalities in promoting growth in CD patients.

Here's a quick quiz for you: What does Jack Frost look like? Young or old? I confess I've never had a mental image of Jack. In fact, until seeing "Rise of the Guardians," I never gave him any thought at all. The kids around me at a preview screening seemed more expert, perhaps because they know the inspiration for the film, William Joyce's book series, "Guardians of Childhood."
In those books, unread by me, Joyce imagines a loosely knit Avengers-style federation of the guardians of childhood. Most of them are famous: Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, the Sandman and so on. Jack Frost's reputation suffers sadly in comparison. Voiced in the film by Chris Pine, he finds himself literally invisible. When he visits Earth, people are able to walk right through him. Since he is a spritely boy, he finds this depressing, although many kids have probably felt the same way.
Why is this so? The Man in the Moon never explained it to him. The Man in the Moon functions in the story as sort of a symbolic nature god, who never does anything but shine enigmatically in the sky.
This is a hyperkinetic 3-D action comedy, with the characters forever racing on Santa's sleigh, hurtling down chutes and zooming through tunnels that rework the same 3-D illusions over and over again. The characters aren't all referred to by what we might call their Earth names, and we get such as North, a broad-shouldered Santa (voice of Alec Baldwin); Tooth, the fairy (Isla Fisher), and Bunny (Hugh Jackman).
There's also a villain, called Pitch by others and sometimes resentfully the Boogie Man by himself. This dastardly fiend (voice of Jude Law) is envisioned as all darkness, teeth and claws, determined to put the Guardians out of business. In this moment of crisis, the team calls on Jack Frost to lead their resistance, and in the process, he inevitably redeems himself, becomes visible and achieves a personal victory. Now we know what he looks like. I was reminded of Peter Pan, although he isn't green.
There's an audience for this film. It's not me. I gather younger children will like the breakneck action, the magical ability to fly and the young hero who has tired of only being a name. Their parents and older siblings may find the 89-minute running time quite long enough.
Still, let it be said that director Peter Ramsey and his art team have created a crisp, colorful fantasy world, sharper-edged than many feature-length children's cartoons. Especially fetching: The Tooth's countless followers, called "Baby Teeth"; Bunny's ranks upon ranks of Easter eggs and Pitch's scary manifestations. I thought by the end of the picture, Pitch had earned some sort of redemption, but I guess he goes back to wherever Pitches come from.

Dallas County Records Building suddenly attractive to thieves
Dallas County became a crime victim this morning for at least the fourth time this year.
Someone broke into the Records Building but didn't steal anything.
Darryl Martin, the county's administrator, said: "Someone entered through the contractors' entrance. An extensive search of the building was conducted by DPD and the Sheriff's department and the person was not located. At this point we do not believe anything was taken."
Here's a summary of the other incidents:
–Aug. 18: Someone robbed a county parking contractor of about $6,000 in county parking fees while she was walking the cash over to the county treasurer's office
–Aug. 3: Several men nearly made off with an ATM machine from the county Records Building.
–May 4: Several men broke in to the county administration building to steal two safes from the Sixth Floor Museum.

In Birmingham, England, the members of the medical profession have taken considerable exception to a circular sent out by the chief constable of that city, calling attention to the murder of a new-born child, and asking information from any physician who had attended a woman who might have been the mother. The physicians object to being made detectives. In the London Lancet we note the Birmingham coroner's statement as follows:
There is a common law liability—a liability that is not specifically set down by act of parliament—under which it becomes the duty of a man, doctors included, to inform the authorities if he believes that a crime has been committed. But, of course, he can always please himself whether or not he does inform them. If he does not, then you have to prove that he has wilfully disregarded his obligation, and that, I can imagine, would not always be

Titanyen, January 19 -- As death sweeps over Haiti, there is not enough space for the dead. Bodies are being dumped in mass graves without identification.
Since Friday, government's dump trucks have been carrying bodies to a new empty hole. The 20 feet deep and wide, 100 feet long mass grave is situated on a hillside, north of the wrecked buildings in Port-au-Prince.
Unceremonious burials
The dead bodies are dumped into the mass graves without keeping a tab on the numbers, taking pictures or looking for names.
There have been incidents where legs and arms of different people were reportedly tied together. Voissine Careas, a 60-year-old farmer said, "They have buried so many people here. And now, they are digging holes for more."
The wrecked streets of Haiti have fewer bodies by the day, but morgues and funeral parlors still have more bodies than they can contain. Number of wooden coffins that are attached to trucks and station wagons are also fewer. Carpenters say there isn't enough wood or electricity to make more.
Pegel Fleurigine, who built coffins in a alleyway for over a decade, said, "They bury you like a dog. They don't bury you in caskets."
A tradition lost in tremors
In addition to the havoc wrecked by the earthquake, Haitians have also lost a tradition they held dear – burying their dead.
Haitians consider the last rites as one of the most sacred ceremonies. They are known to spend more on their burials vaults than on their houses. This tradition stems out from the fact the average life of a Haitian is only 44 years. The Haitians have a voodoo belief that the dead carry on with life and that families must maintain a connection with them.
Ira Lowenthal, an anthropologist based in Haiti for the past 38 years, said, "Convening with the dead is what allows Haitians to link themselves, directly by bloodline, to a pre-slave past. Not letting the dead rest in their family burial plots, where various rituals are conducted, will severe spiritual connections.
It is a violation of everything these people hold dear. On the other hand, people know they have no choice."
Worse than Tsunami
After a tsunami swept through Asia in 2004, the relief workers and the government put a system in place where photographs of the dead were taken before burying them, so that their families could locate them.
However, the dead in Haiti are anonymous. Mr Lowenthel said that an unparallel cataclysm has besieged the country and taken the aid groups by surprise.
"This is worse than the tsunami," he said. "Look at the concentration of destruction."
No Haitian wants to go to the hills of Titanyen, Mr Lowenthel added.

Malaysia has asked the FBI to help to analyse data from a flight simulator that the captain of Flight MH370 kept in his home, as investigators searched for clues in the mystery of the airliner, which vanished 13 days ago.
Malaysia's police chief, Khalid Abu Bakar, said that an examination of the simulator, taken from the home of the pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah, 53, showed that its data log had been cleared on February 3, more than a month before the airliner disappeared on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

Century Deposit Taking Microfinance (DTM) Ltd licensed to operate
The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has granted a licence to Century Deposit Taking Microfinance Limited to carry out nationwide deposit-taking microfinance business. The licence has been issued pursuant to Section 6 (1) of the Microfinance Act, 2006 and Regulation 5 (3) of the Microfinance (Deposit-Taking Microfinance Institutions) Regulations, 2008.
Century Deposit Taking Microfinance Limited becomes the seventh deposit taking microfinance institution (DTM) to be licensed following the licensing of five nationwide DTMs and one community-based DTM. Century's shareholding is pre-dominantly held by local Kenyan individual and corporate entities.
Century Deposit Taking Microfinance Limited has set up its head office and branch in Gikomba in Nairobi. The DTMs primary focus is agricultural finance and, in this regard, the DTM intends to target small holder agricultural farmers by offering agriculture-based credit and savings products. The DTM will also provide financial services to the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) that serve the farmers, as suppliers and buyers.
While majority of the Kenyan populace resides in rural areas, Kenya's economy, like most African countries, is largely an agriculture based economy. Boosting agriculture will require expanding access to financial services in rural areas and provision of agricultural finance is thus very critical.

Radical Changes afoot at Bob Jones University
In the classrooms of Bob Jones University, the walls bear printed slogans - the thoughts of Bob Jones Sr. the founder of the University such as It is better to die for something than to live for nothing and It is never right to do wrong in order to get a chance to do right. However, the University, which has for many decades embodied militant fundamentalism in the USA as the Fortress of Faith has radically changed over the last few years.
One of the first harbingers of change was that in 2004 BJU applied for (and received) accreditation, as an academic institution. This was particularly controversial among American Fundamentalists, as the process had always been avoided and attacked by the Jones family because, as Bob Jones III once said, accrediting associations will not approve our educational process if it does not include the worship of their gods.
Another change that caused concern was a lecture given at a Neo-Evangelical local university in Greenville, Furman University in April 2003 on Christianity: Lost Among the American Ruins, as part of Furmans Religion-in-Life lecture series. Previous to this, the Jones family and BJU had refused to speak at any meetings at such institutions. In his lecture, Jones never rebuked the ecumenism and inter-faith activities of Furman or took any stand on Biblical separation. Indeed, the word fundamentalism was studiously avoided (as it is from their website today).
Further signs of the changes to come was hinted in a Washington Times article of Thursday, May 5, 2005 which carried extensive interviews with the new President, Dr. Stephen Jones and his father, Dr Bob Jones III. The secular reporter, from the newspaper owned by the Reverend Sun Myung Moons of the Unification Church (Moonies), introduced the article by questioning, Could America's most famous bastion of hard-core Christian fundamentalism and pugnacious political conservatism be getting a little . . . soft? There are signs, portents.
In his interview with the Times, the incoming President, Stephen Jones was said to be embarrassed by some of the more vitriolic comments of the various Bob Joneses, although he would not identify them, I dont want to get specific, he said. But there were things said back then that I wouldnt say today. Then in January 2007, BJU indicated that they would no longer be referring to the Pope as the antichrist in public any more as the founder and his son Dr. Bob Jones Jr. and Sr. had. In an interview with the Greenville News BJU, spokesman Jonathan Pait revealed,
This change was noteworthy as in February 10, 2000, in an interview with the New York Times; Pait gave an interview, in which the Times recorded ,Code:Dr. Bob Jones Jrs statement about the pope some 30 years ago has been misinterpreted by many. Jones was using Reformation language to make a point about his belief that the idea of the pope being Christs vicar on Earth is unbiblical is not referring to the antichrist mentioned in the book of Revelation, Pait said. But the universitys position on Catholicism hasnt changed, he said. We do vehemently disagree with Catholic doctrine, Pait said. And while we probably wouldn't use those terms today, it showed how vehemently we disagreed with Catholic doctrine.
On March 2007 in preparation for a visit to the BJU campus by a radical homosexual group called Soulforce, President Stephen Jones made this startling admission about his friends at the Campus Chapel,Code:The former head of the university, Bob Jones Jr., engaged in an astonishing series of attacks on Catholics in the 1980's, asserting that 'all the popes are demon-possessed and that Pope John Paul II was 'the greatest danger we face today. The papacy,' he said, is the religion of Antichrist and is a satanic system. On Tuesday I asked a spokesman for the university, Jonathan Pait, if the school had ever repudiated Mr. Jones statements, or backed off of them in any way. I dont believe so, he said. According to Mr. Pait, There is a disagreement about what the Bible teaches between Catholicism and Protestantism. And the university takes a very strong stand that Protestantism is the correct interpretation of Scripture.
However, the move that has proven to be the most polemical and has stunned fundamentalists around the world was the bold recent endorsement by the current Chancellor, Bob Jones III and Dr. Robert Taylor, current Dean of the BJU College of Arts and Sciences of the Mormon Bishop, Mitt Romney as Presidential candidate for the Republican party. Speaking after meeting Romney privately in October 16, 2007, Dr. Jones said to the Greenville News,Code:The homosexuals I know are extremely nice ..I have friends who are struggling with homosexuality, I have friends who are not struggling but have given themselves over to this lifestyle . the issue is not how nice these people are and they are .the issue is not how wrong Christians may have been in the past and how we have spoken about this in the past and we have been wrong in the past .
CNN also reported on Friday November 9, 2007 that the net has widened to include students, faculty and alumni who have been meeting Romney privately at secretly organized meetings,Code:And I just believe that this man has the credentials both personally and ideologically in terms of his view about what American government should be to best represent the rank and file of conservative Americans Hes a very presidential guy. He has a loving family. He has, as far as I can tell, no scandal connected with his life. I cant say that about all of the candidates unfortunately.
What is most surprising in this u-turn is that Bob Jones III was previously cited in the Washington Post in the 80s denouncing the political Moral Majority and disobedient preachers such as Billy Graham and Jerry Falwell for appearing with Catholics, Mormons and Jews, which he called the sin of spiritual fornication. Yet, 25 years later he publicly has put his name and reputation behind a Mormon leader, who is a leader of a cult and believes that he will be a god. Dr. Jones clearly does not discern how deleterious it would be to place a Mormon into the White House. The great propaganda value to this cult is unquestionable, with the most powerful man on the planet pictured reading the Book of Mormon and attending their temples. It would encourage the whole world to see the lies of Mormonism as simply an alternative interpretation of Christianity.Code:Perhaps more illuminating than Romneys on-message speech to the crowd was his introduction by Taylor, the college dean and a top official at Bob Jones. Taylor tried to convince the audience that they should support Romney despite his religion. He suggested Romneys faith is preventing many fellow evangelicals from supporting the former Massachusetts governor. I think theres a lot of us evangelicals that have kind of held back a little, Taylor said. They realize he's the guy they would like to support, but theyre kind of looking left and right and seeing, OK who has the courage to step out and support him and if somebody else does maybe I will, too.
Neo-Evangelical Radio Host and Baptist Pastor, Chuck Baldwin who was ironically once the State Chairman of the Florida Moral Majority from 1980-1984, now rebukes this step by Dr. Jones,
Code:Since when does a preacher of the Gospel and Christian educator put electing charlatans (of any political party) ahead of standing for truth and doing right? And this leads to another problem. Our Christian leaders have forgotten what it means to stand on principle. They have gotten so bogged down in politics that they have forsaken the divine call to be watchmen on the wall. If Bob Jones III would be as concerned about standing for truth and principle as he is about beating Hillary, many others might be encouraged to do the same - and we preachers might actually be able to have a positive impact upon the direction of our country. As it is, our Christian leaders are not only not helping to lead our nation out of its current mess, they are actually contributing to the problem, as Dr. Jones endorsement of Mitt Romney illustrates. Furthermore, what is Dr. Bob going to say to the students and graduates of Bob Jones University? How can he justify all the years of separation preaching that BJU is known for? Where is his consistency? How can he now turn around and convince his students that all those Christian standards regarding the fellowship of light with darkness, reproving evil, contending for the faith, etc., apply only to areas outside politics? Obviously, BJU students now know that when it comes to politics, we can cast all those principles aside. It makes one wonder what other areas of the Christian life are exempt from Biblical principles. Maybe our business life? But thats a subject for another day. I believe Dr. Bobs grandfather must be turning over in his grave. I don't know how many times I have heard the big fundamentalist preachers quote Dr. Bob Jones, Sr. as saying, Do right if the stars fall!

This is not the first time that Dr Bob Jones III has forayed into politics and delineated pragmatism, shifting positions, and contradictory statements. On the morning after the 2004 election, Bob Jones III, posted this letter addressed to President Bush on the schools Web site indicating his wholehearted acceptance of Bushs salvation:
However, George Bush has in an exclusive interview with ABC News' Charles Gibson, shown a perverted view of salvation of another gospel that both Christians and Muslims worship the same God,Code:In your re-election, God has graciously granted America-though she doesnt deserve it-a reprieve from the agenda of paganism. You have been given a mandate. We the people expect your voice to be like the clear and certain sound of a trumpet. Because you seek the Lord daily, we who know the Lord will follow that kind of voice eagerly .
In another interview with Arabic television posted on the White House website , Bush reveals his pluralistic and universalistic view of God,Code:I think we do. We have different routes of getting to the Almighty, Bush said. But I want you to understand, I want your listeners to understand, I dont get to get decide who goes to heaven. The Almighty God decides who goes to heaven and I am on my personal walk, he said.
In November 2003, Bush sent a letter of congratulations to a denomination founded by homosexual activists that performs more than 6,000 same-sex weddings each year. It was reported,Code:Well, first of all, I believe in an Almighty God, and I believe that all the world, whether they be Muslim, Christian, or any other religion, prays to the same God . I believe there is a universal God. I believe the God that the Muslim prays to is the same God that I pray to. After all, we all came from Abraham. I believe in that universality.
Prominent Fundamentalist writer, David Cloud commented,Code:The president wrote to the founding congregation in Los Angeles of the Metropolitan Community Churches, led by leading homosexual activist Rev. Troy D. Perry, on the occasion of its 35th anniversary. By encouraging the celebration of faith and sharing of God's love and boundless mercy, churches like yours put hope in peoples hearts and a sense of purpose in their lives, Bush said in his Oct. 14 missive. This milestone provides an opportunity to reflect on your years of service and to rejoice in Gods faithfulness to your congregation.
To delineate how far BJU has moved from traditional Biblical separation, a quick glance into the past is revealing. The 1981 resolutions of the largest Fundamental church grouping, the Fundamental Baptist Fellowship, which was signed by James Singleton, Chairman and the President Dr. Rod Bell, state very clearly the dangers of unbiblical unions with unbelievers in politics,Code:From this, it is obvious that President Bush does not believe the Bible, which states plainly that sinners must repent before they can be saved. The MCC claims that God accepts their homosexuality as natural and that they do not have to repent of it. They are also on a campaign to change Americas laws to allow homosexual marriage.
If BJU and others ignore this Scriptural position, they will run into grave dangers. In 2 Chronicles 20:35-37, the godly King of Judah, Jehoshaphat, who weakened in his separation as he got older, joined himself with the wicked King of Israel, Ahaziah to make ships for commercial and political reasons. This combined fleet was built to secure a free passage through Israel, for the vessels were to be conveyed across the Isthmus of Suez, and to sail to the west of Europe from one of the ports of Palestine on the Mediterranean. God sent a prophet, Eliezer, to denounce this unholy alliance and he foretold, as divine judgment, the total wreck of the whole fleet. The consequence was, that the ships built at the joint expense of the two kings were destroyed by the Lord.Code:The FBF believes that government as ordained by God for the purpose of protecting the innocent and punishing the guilty, that good government is the will of God, and the Christians have a responsibility to be active in governmental matters as the salt of the earth, but continues to view with alarm movements such as the Moral Majority which while disclaiming to be religious confuses the fundamentals of the faith in the minds of the general public by bringing together Catholics, Jews, liberal Protestants, Mormons and Bible believers in a quasi-political union, we believe that the saving of America's morals is a mere cosmetic treatment of the deeper problem of sin; of correcting the nation's morals gives the false impression that America's ills would be solved if her morality were reformed; that moral reformation is not the mission of the churches, but, instead, the preaching of the saving grace of Christ which takes care of man's sin problem by which man's morals become correct; we, therefore, repudiate the false impression and the ecumenical union being promoted by the Moral Majority as unscriptural and therefore unworthy of consideration and cooperation by Bible-believing people.
Jehoshaphat had aligned himself for political expedience with, as the great Reformed Baptist Scholar, John Gill comments, whom he ought to have had no fellowship, even in civil things, it being both a countenancing him, and exposing himself and people to danger. We are living in the crisis hour of the great shakings and the final separations of the wheat and the chaff, as God reveals the true reality of the hearts of His people. For, as Dr. Bob Jones Sr. the founder of the University once warned, A mans character is not formed in the moment of crisis, it is revealed. Churches, denominations, colleges and people are changing in ways that is astounding even the world, let alone the true remnant.
Jeremiah issued a pertinent warning to the Holy City of Jerusalem that trusted in their illustrious history of orthodoxy and the splendour of their temple,
The Bible also has much to say about the devastating effects of blessing the wicked,Code:For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. (Jer 5:26, 28).
May we all take note of the dangers of political compromise in this age when satan is seeking if it were possible, to deceive the very elect, as the wicked watcheth the righetous, and seeketh to slay him.Code:He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him (Pro 24:24).

Top Drawer Autumn 11
The difference being this year I emailed Kate a scrappy sketch a few months ago of how I thought the stand could look and she and the rest of the clever Belle & Boo team created this sweet, beautiful stand.
I have been buried in the book for the past few months (I have a severe case of cabin fever!) so yesterday I took some time out to go and visit the show and I was blown away with how pretty everything looked. I think when you are involved in all the nitty gritty bits of putting the show together & your personality is like mine... to focus on the things that went a bit wrong, it's hard to see the finished result clearly. So simply turning up yesterday and seeing it all together for the first time was such a fun, proud, exciting experience and hopefully a little glimpse of how our visitors view the stand also, which is what counts in the end.
Kate found some fantastic props including this post box, where we asked people to post their business cards and this very cool little tree trunk cupboard!
Here is a sneaky peek of our new Christmas goodies, which will be available beginning of October.
We will also have this pretty little apron available around November.
I am sure those of you with keen eyes will also be able to spot some other lovely goodies that will be available early next year, but I don't want to spoil all the surprises in one go.
Also a polite little reminder from Suzie to not forget our Clothes collection is very limited, so don't risk being disappointed and leave it too late, the Boo coats are flying out....OK back to the book.

Thank You, again for that parcel filled with Love! ~ Karen (Jo) MoseleyReplyDelete
P.S. Is Etsy the only place in the USA to buy belle and boo products? I love the new products and would like to LIVE in that little shop!
I love the sleigh mounted on the wall, the red mailbox popping out, the elegant white shelve with its vintage look... I could go on and on!ReplyDelete
I like Dilly's idea about the traditional nightgown, it would make a great Christmas gift combined with the 'bubbles before bed' book.

Tennis courts and ball fields sat empty Saturday, but over at the South Valley Family YMCA, they were handing out more guest passes than usual for the indoor gym, and over at Westfield Oakridge mall, the "Wall-E" matinee was drawing quite a crowd.
Though breezes began thinning the smoky haze from numerous distant wildfires that has hung like a pall over Silicon Valley for the past week and triggered air-quality health advisories, many sought refuge indoors.
"You just don't want to be outside," said Kara Westbrook, who took her 14-year-old son and a friend to see Disney's "Wall-E" at Oakridge in South San Jose. "It's yucky. I've had a sore throat and we're all really fatigued."
Though the Bay Area Air Quality Management District has no plans yet to lift its health advisory, weather forecasters are predicting ocean breezes will start clearing out the haze Monday. Children, the elderly and people with heart and lung diseases are advised to limit outdoor activities.
The district issues alerts when airborne particulate levels are expected to exceed federal standards, an average of 35 parts per million over eight hours. Friday's preliminary average in San Jose was 42 ppm, with levels peaking at 65 ppm, said air district spokesman Jim Smith. Saturday saw considerable improvement, with a preliminary average of 24 ppm, he said. Still, that's nearly five times the reading a year ago of 5 ppm.
Coastal pollution
Air advisories also remained in effect along the coast, where the Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District was reporting high particulate levels from massive wildfires raging near Big Sur and through the Ventana Wilderness.
In fact, air-quality districts from Bakersfield to Redding issued health advisories through the weekend, with pollution readings in Northern California anywhere from two to 10 times the federal standard.
The lightning-sparked Basin Complex fire burning for the past week in the Los Padres National Forest near Big Sur had torched nearly 27,000 acres by Saturday and was just 3 percent contained. It has destroyed 16 homes and is threatening 575 others. The Indians fire farther south, sparked June 8 by a campfire that went out of control, was 80 percent contained. It has burned nearly 60,000 acres and was threatening 422 homes.
Even in healthy people, the kind of smoke generated by wildfires can irritate the eyes and sinuses, cause coughing and a scratchy throat.
Robert and Cecilia Cavazos, who live on a quiet cul-de-sac off Santa Teresa Boulevard, thought they were catching a cold Tuesday but soon realized they were suffering smoke irritation.
"We didn't feel sick, but for some reason we kept coughing a lot," Robert Cavazos said.
The Cavazoses stopped jogging. "If we work out now, it's at the gym," he said.
And they limited their 5-year-old granddaughter, Isabella, to just an hour of play outside - which she seemed to find grating. And because of the air, the child's mother stopped letting her swim in the outdoor pool.
"It's hard," quipped Cavazos. "When you have a Barbie jeep like that, you want to ride it."
The Cavazos set up a lemonade stand with Isabella to lure buyers to their garage sale, but noted the streets and nearby parks were oddly deserted.
Another South San Jose resident, Phil Coop, said the bad air forced him to stop riding his bike to work last week.
"We're just kind of staying in the air conditioning," Coop said, "and that's about it."
Westbrook said the smoke was so bad in her neighborhood that she closed off her fireplace flue in a not-too-successful effort to keep it out of her home. It got so bad, she said, that her husband asked for a blast off their sons' asthma medicine inhaler.
"This is just so persistent," Westbrook said. "You just can't keep it out of the house."
Change of plans
The Westbrooks rerouted a planned amusement park outing this week from Gilroy Gardens to Great America, hoping to get a little farther from the smoke. She has not been letting her kids play outside, and is grateful that the sport they play - hockey - is indoors. They even stopped walking their dog, Griffin.
"I send him out to do his business," she said, "and then tell him to come back in. Poor Griffin."
Of course, not everyone was letting a little haze cloud their fun in the sun. At Cupertino's Memorial Park, Asim and Arfeen Alam were playing catch and throw with a football at a family graduation party. Asim, 21, just graduated from the University of California-San Diego, and said the grayness hanging over the Bay Area was nothing compared with the smoke from San Diego's wildfires last year.
"You couldn't even sit outside - it was like being in a room full of 100 smokers," Asim said. "Here, it's still pretty bright out."
"Plus," added his 26-year-old brother with a smile, "it keeps it a bit cooler. I'm looking on the bright side."
Nearby, Jimmy Mirasol decided to take advantage of the open tennis courts.
"I'm not really feeling any effects from it," Mirasol said.
But others surely were, even without breaking a sweat.
As he packed up the family's lemonade stand, Cavazos couldn't help feeling a little cheated out of a summer weekend.
"I hope this turns around," he said. "California is known for things outdoors, and now, you're limited, just when summer is kicking off."

Please read and understand this;Lee, Thanks for your fast response!
The VoIP server that this is on is very close to the terminations, so it shouldn't have anything to do with the quality or delay of the VoIP call, plus I can get an identical result every time I do it (unless the VoIP call to certain numbers is handled differently at the provider)
A friend of mine said he had to adjust the tx/rx volume on his VoIP switch, but I'm using Asterisk. Could that be the problem?
